The document discusses the development of the heliocentric theory from Aristotle to Galileo. It began with Aristarchus proposing a heliocentric model over 2000 years ago, though the geocentric Ptolemaic system remained dominant. Nicolaus Copernicus later revived the heliocentric theory in the 16th century, providing a simplified mathematical model. Johannes Kepler further developed the theory through his laws of planetary motion. Galileo Galilei then provided strong observational evidence in favor of heliocentrism through his telescopic discoveries. The heliocentric theory fundamentally changed astronomical and scientific understanding.
The geocentric theory stated that the earth was the center of the universe and was the most accepted viewpoint for a long, long time. The heliocentric theory, on the other hand, states that the earth revolves around the Sun. The first advocate of a heliocentric model was Aristarchus of Samos in ancient Greece.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Having or representing the sun as a center:
helio- + -centric
7. HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
•Galileo was accused of Blasphemy
•The holy scripture stated that the
Earth was in the centre of the universe
•The church and the bible were
considered the only sources of true
8.
9. HELIOCENTRIC THEORY
Developed by Nicolaus Copernicus
The first astronomical system that
offered a simplified view of the
universe and a complete and
detailed account of how it works
Used ptolemaic tools and spheres in
order to explain the movements of
the stars
10. HELIOCENTRIC PRINCIPLES:
Celestial bodies do not all revolve around a single point
The center of the earth is the center of the lunar sphere
All the spheres rotate around the Sun
Parallax is not observed in the stars
The stars are immovable
Earth is moved in a sphere around the Sun, and has more than one
motion
Earth’s orbital motion around the Sun causes the seeming reverse in
direction of the motions of the planet

12. THE ASTRONOMERS
Aristotle~350 BC Earth is the center of the Universe; the stars, the Sun and the
planets revolve around the Earth in circles.
Copernicus1473 — 1543 The Sun is the center of the Universe; the stars and the
planets revolve around the Sun in circles. Still need epicycles.
Kepler 1571 — 1630 Kepler’s laws describe planetary motion;
Beginning of mathematical scientific laws.
Galileo 1564 — 1642 Public support for Copernican theory; first extensive use of the
telescope in astronomy; many revolutionary discoveries: mountains on Moon, moons of
Jupiter, phases of Venus, many faint stars in the Milky Way.
Newton1642 — 1727 Mathematical theory of gravity explains Kepler’s laws.
Einstein1879 — 1955 Special and general relativity: generalization of Newton’s
laws.

14. ARISTARCHUS OF SAMOS
C O N T R I B U T I O N T O T H E W O R L D
According to Aristotle, Earth is motionless (“Terra immobilis”) at the center
of the universe. Earth is surrounded by spheres of water, air, and fire
(“ignus”), above which lie spheres carrying the celestial bodies beginning
with the moon (“lune”) in the lowest celestial sphere.
15. ARISTARCHUS OF SAMOS
H I S R O L I N T H E H . T H E O R Y
Aristarchus suspected the stars were other suns that are very far away, and that in
consequence there was no observable parallax, that is, a movement of the stars
relative to each other as the Earth moves around the Sun. Since stellar parallax is
only detectable with telescopes, his accurate speculation was unprovable at the
time.

17. NICOULAS COPERNICUS
C O N T R I B U T I O N T O T H E W O R L D
Nicolaus Copernicus was the first to say the sun was the center of the universe with proof
involving physics, mathematics, and cosmology. His works influenced Galileo, Keplar,
Descartes, and Newton.
18. NICOULAS COPERNICUS
E A R LY L I F E
Nicolaus’s father died when Copernicus was ten.
He was cared for by his uncle, Lucas Watzenrode.
In 1448, Copernicus was sent to cathedral school in Wloclauek.
In 1491, he entered the University of Krakow.
Copernicus studied Latin, mathematics, astronomy, geography, philosophy, and astrology.
He left Krakow without a degree.
In 1496, he returned to Italy and enrolled in University of Bologna.
19. NICOULAS COPERNICUS
H I S R O L I N T H E H . T H E O R Y
He infuenced the world by spreading intellectual independence by going against the
church, provoking other scientists such as Galileo to question the churches power in
science and finally started the scientific revolution.

21. JOHANNES KEPLER
C O N T R I B U T I O N T O T H E W O R L D
Kepler found many magical and mysterious mathematical relations in the stars
and planets. He published his findings in two more books: The New
Astronomy, 1609. The Harmony of the World, 1619 Out
of all of this, three laws survive.
The first two involve a new shape for astronomy, the ellipse.
22. JOHANNES KEPLER
T H E E L L I P S E
The Ellipse is formed by a plane cutting completely through the cone.
Another way to make an ellipse is with two focal points (A and B above), and a
length of, say, string, longer than the distance AB. If the string is stretched taut
with a pencil and pulled around the points, the path of the pencil point is an
ellipse. In the diagram above, that means that if C is any point on the ellipse,
AC+BC is always the same.
23. JOHANNES KEPLER
1 s t L A W
The planets travel in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus.
All previous astronomical theories had the planets travelling in circles, or
combinations of circles.
Kepler has chosen a different geometric figure.
24. JOHANNES KEPLER
H I S R O L I N T H E H . T H E O R Y
Kepler imagined that (like Eudoxean spheres), the planets were visible dots
located on the surface of nested spherical shells all centered on the Earth.
There were six planets, requiring six spherical shells. Just the number to be
inscribed in and circumscribe the five regular solids.
