Music videos first emerged in the 1980s with the launch of MTV, which aired The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" as the first music video. The purpose of music videos was to promote songs and artists visually, helping unknown artists gain fame. MTV played a key role by making music videos widely accessible and affordable to produce. Over time, more music video channels emerged, and influential early directors included Nigel Dick and Paul Hunter. Michael Jackson's "Thief" was a groundbreaking, expensive video that helped bring more diversity to the genre. The rise of websites like YouTube has significantly impacted the music industry by allowing free online distribution of music videos and changing how people consume them.
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.
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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

beginning stages of the music video?
• MTV was the first to start airing music videos the role
that they played was that they showed that music
videos are cheap and easy to do meaning many artist
could afford to do a video on a low budget. This was
good because having a music video on MTV was a
promotion of the artist and the song. The channel
allowed for music videos to be played all day so it
allowed for artists to have the chance to have airtime
and for the audience being able to watch music videos
all day. This helps for uses and gratifications theory
with escapism and etc. also it allowed to see a visual
representation of the artist.

8. What impact has the internet had on
record labels/artists and music video
television
• The internet has had an impact on record labels/artist and music video
television because for;
• Music video television: The audience/people are able to watch music
videos on the internet with websites such as YouTube meaning there is
less people watching on music videos also, because people rather search
for music videos that they want to see instead of watching for their
favorite music videos to come on.
• Record labels/artist: The impact the internet has on record labels/artists is
that in terms of marketing, artists can advertise their music online for
their target audience to find out the latest on their favourite artist. So in
marketing it has benefited them however there are also negative impacts
such as album leaks which usually happens to big artists as their album
gets out on the internet before the release meaning millions will have the
album before it comes out which effects albums sales.
9. How has the internet changed the way
that music videos are distributed?
• Music videos are now distributed through the
internet through websites such as YouTube
meaning people/audience are able to see music
videos online easy and free. This also means that
anyone can upload a music video for millions of
people to see for example chief keef uploaded a
music video for his song ‘Don’t Like’ and got
around 10 millions views within a week. This has
helped him because then everyone started
hearing about him through word of mouth and
this ultimately led to him being from a YouTube
star to being signed at Interscope records
