History can be interpreted in different ways based on facts from primary and secondary sources. While based on facts, people interpret history differently, influencing how it is defined and written. Symbolism has been important to human development and culture, and gives insight into human behavior through artifacts. A catastrophic event like major volcanic eruptions may have occurred thousands of years ago, blocking the sun with dust and causing global climate change, droughts, and famine that led to the decline of civilizations.
As the world continues to become digital and mobile, the communications ecosystem is being disrupted. Rather than trying to defend an obsolete business model, operators need to change their point of view and consider the broader possibilities being created by this very transformation as it disrupts every other industry.
The characteristics of the new environment are such, that the current "cambrian explosion" of apps will continue with no end in sight - especially as new technologies such as wearables, connected car/home, the internet of things and even implantables appear on the scene.
To support the massive proliferation of apps, a new breed of players is appearing: the Communications-as-a-Service Platform providers (CaaS). They will do to the communications stack what Google Maps did for maps or Paypal for payments: simplify it to the point where any developer is able to integrate it into their application with just a few lines of code.
In this new world, operators need to partner with CaaS providers to fully participate in the tremendous value creation opportunity, leveraging the strength of the startup world with their own, to unleash the hidden potential in their own capabilities and infrastructure.

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.
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 Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
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”.
2. What is History? Never take History for granted. History can be thought of as a story that comes in many forms such as: writings, carvings, paintings, songs, and collections of events all interpreted in different ways. History is verifiable, meaning one can bring up facts to support an event or time in history. However it cannot be tested like subjects in science. These facts are either from a primary source or a secondary source
3. What is History (The importance) Although history is based upon facts, it is how people interpret these facts and learn from them to better the future that makes history important in itself. Different people will have different viewpoints on certain areas of history, which should be highly considered, thus influencing how history is defined and written. History is of utter importance and is a very powerful tool to the world and it is up to people how they can use this knowledge for their benefit.
4. The Journey of Man “Communicating with symbols provides an unambiguous sign of our modernity” (Klein, 5). Symbolism has been a major aspect on the human race and has been over looked upon by society. It is the benchmark of our very existence and what makes us unique in this world. Symbolism gives birth to human behavior and can be verified through many examples like artifacts such as, ancient beads, weaponry, and idols. Even in today’s society symbolism is seen everywhere in the world. In essence, symbolism dawns human culture and determines the outcome of different societies. It is how humans make and interpret symbols that make them exclusive from each other.
5. Journey of Man (Where we came from) To some scientists, it is clearly unknown as to when humans became the planetary power . One major theory is that the first humans were roaming the earth 115,000 years ago in Africa. These early humans are considered the “modern” individual which had many basic similarities that we have today. It is still a mystery, but in theory, it is when humans became enlightened that sparked our dominance on earth and this was not possible without a mutation within our race. Evidence for this “mutation” are still being found and it wont be an easy process. However despite the challenge, anthropologists agree that more research can be done if more sample were taken within the African populace, for they believe it is the key to our very existence.
6. Catastrophe It is believed that many years ago a very catastrophic event happened that marked a dramatic time in the changing of our world. It is said during this time, something happened to the world’s climate where clouds of dust covered the earth, rain the color of blood swept the ground, the sun began to go dark, and bitter cold took over the land for two years (PBS, 1). After this climate change, drought, plague and famine occurred and caused many deaths throughout the world. Explanations to this catastrophe can be revealed through the observation of tree rings. Through these observations scientists were able to tell how the weather was like for the past seven and a half thousand years to our time. Similar tree ring patterns are being found around the world showing that there were similar climate conditions around the same time, thus backing evidence that there was indeed a catastrophic event that plagued the earth many years ago.
7. Catastrophe (cont.) There are findings that major volcano eruptions could have taken place causing volcanic dust to fill the air, thus blocking out the sun. Due to the vast pollution of dust in the sky, drought occurred killing thousands and thousands of people. This could have led to the downfalls of vast empires and civilizations in our previous world such as the Roman Empire. However as a result, new births of civilizations and beliefs were formed from this dramatic event in our history.
8. Changing Interpretations of America’s Past It is generally believed that the Americas were not populated until the arrival of Columbus. However Native Americans were here thousands of years prior to the invasion of Europe. When the Europeans arrived there were major outbreaks of disease towards the Native Americans who had developed no immunity and eventually died. Disease affected the Indians of Peru, the Incas and much more. Throughout Europe’s invasion it is estimated that 95 percent of the Natives of America were wiped out, due to war and disease.
9. New Interpretations of Amazonia Before 1492 Deep in the Amazon in Brazil new discoveries are being made about civilizations that existed during the pre-Columbian era. The geographical changes of Amazonia were not done by natural forces, but had to be done by civilizations. Researchers estimate that more than half the forest in the region was cut down to be replaced by fruit orchards and fields of cassava (which was a major part of the Amazonia diet). It is said that the Upper part of the Xingu region was hard to reach by the Europeans. It was not until the mid 1700s that Europeans arrived in the area and began polluting the land. Evidence for these discoveries: Network of 1000 year old towns and villages 19 villages in a 15 mile square region at the head waters of the Xingu River connected by systems of broad parallel highways. Findings of bits and pieces of artifacts
10. The World and Trade Before Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, there was not that much knowledge about the earth itself, such as different continents and the very different cultures found within these continents. However Columbus did put a big impact on how people viewed the world after his time and it has forever changed the world itself. Europe, China, South Asia, and the middle east all had there own individual kinds of government and lived by accordingly. Locations of these great lands determined how they would progress throughout history and how their own cultures developed. The Europeans seemed to have higher technology due their location and improved their shipping gaining an advantage due to trade with other regions and even war.
11. The World and Trade (cont.) Trade was of most importance during the early times of the world. Trade increased between Europe, China, Turkey and Africa. Trading was accepted in all cultures as long as everything was settled and paid for. It was a good way to interact with other civilizations gaining different knowledge on other cultures and making peace. It was a healthy exercise that everyone participated in and where everyone benefitted. Traded items included: Coffee Tea Cocoa Sugar Tobacco Maize Potato Drugs
