Lakes and ponds are bodies of relatively still, or standing, water.
Although no definite size distinguishes a lake from a pond, lakes generally are larger and deeper than ponds.
Water enters lakes from streams and rivers, by rain or snow falling on or near the depression, and from groundwater.

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.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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”.

2. Hydrosphere
All the water on and above the earth
100 % of earth’s water existed since
formation of the planet
97.5 % seawater
2.5 % fresh
1.7% locked in glaciers and ice caps
0.78% in Groundwater – including soil
moisture and swamp water
0.02% in rivers and lakes
3.
4. Properties of Water
Adhesion – ability to stick to other things
Cohesion – ability to stick to itself
Surface Tension – through hydrogen bonding water
forms a “skin” on its surface
Capillarity – ability of water to be drawn up
Universal Solvent – ability to dissolve a wide range
of substances
5. Properties of Water
Exists in 3 forms – solid, liquid, gas
Changes temperature slowly – stores
large quantities of heat
Takes a lot of heat to evaporate water due
to strong attractive forces
Universal solvent
Water can ionize
Surface can contract due to strong
cohesive forces
Expands when freezes
6. 12.1 Water supply and demand
Domestic water use – 10%
Flushing, bathing, drinking
Industrial – 49%
¾ goes to cooling of electrical power plants
¼ to all other industry
Agriculture – 41%
Irrigation feeds most of the world
10. Aquifer Vocab
Zone of aeration – area of an aquifer
where there is air between particles
Zone of saturation – area of an aquifer
where there is water between particles
Recharge zone – area where an
aquifer receives water from the surface
Confined aquifer – an aquifer that has
an impermeable layer above and below
it
Unconfined aquifer – an aquifer that
has an impermeable layer below it but
is open above
11.
12. 11.2 Streams
Flowing water in a channel
River: large stream fed by tributaries
Stream flow & velocity
Gradient – steepness
Discharge – volume of water flowing/unit time
Channel characteristics
• Bank
• bed
13. 11.2 Streams
Stream erosion and transport
Competence – how big
Capacity – how much
Dissolved load – i.e.; like salt
Suspended load – portion that remains
suspended
Bed load – load that rolls, skips or bounces along
the bottom
14. 11.2 Streams
Drainage basins (ie watershed)
All the land drained by a body of water
Separated by mountains, ridges, or plateaus
• E.g.; Mississippi Embayment – Drains 2/3 of the U.S.
land area between the Appalachians and the Rockies
• Smaller drainage basins exist within these larger
basins –
North Carolina has 13 major basins
• Cape Fear & Yadkin Pee Dee are the two closest
15. US Watersheds
Mississippi is the
largest river basin in
the US covering
almost 2/3 of the
continental land mass.
The river itself is the
14th longest in the
world at 2350 miles
17. World Watersheds
The Nile (N. Africa)
– 4160 miles
The Yangtze (China) – 3964 miles
The Congo (C. Afri
- 2718 miles
Amazon – Brazil – S. America
- 4000 miles
18. Stress on the World’s River Basins
Comparison of the amount of water available
with the amount used by humans.
Figure 14-6
19. TOO LITTLE FRESHWATER
Cities are outbidding farmers for water
supplies from rivers and aquifers.
Countries are importing grain as a way to
reduce their water use.
More crops are being used to produce
biofuels.
Our water options are:
Get more water from aquifers and rivers,
desalinate ocean water, waste less water.
20. Water Resources in US
Eastern US
Flooding
Urban shortages
Pollution
Western Arid Regions
Low precipitation
High evaporation
Recurring prolonged
drought
These conditions result in water scarcity:
1) Dry climate
2) Drought
3) Desiccation
4) Water stress
21. WITHDRAWING GROUNDWATER
TO INCREASE SUPPLIES
Most aquifers are renewable resources
unless water is removed faster than it is
replenished or if they are contaminated.
Groundwater depletion is a growing problem
mostly from irrigation.
At least one-fourth of the farms in India are being
irrigated from overpumped aquifers.
22. Fig. 14-7, p. 313
Trade-Offs
Withdrawing Groundwater
Advantages Disadvantages
Useful for drinking
and irrigation
Aquifer depletion from
overpumping
Available year-
round
Sinking of land
(subsidence) from
overpumping
Exists almost
everywhere
Polluted aquifers for
decades or centuries
Renewable if not
overpumped or
contaminated
Saltwater intrusion into
drinking water supplies
near coastal areas
Reduced water flows
into surface waters
No evaporation
losses
Cheaper to extract
than most surface
waters
Increased cost and
contamination from
deeper wells
23. Groundwater Depletion:
A Growing Problem
The Ogallala, the world’s largest aquifer, is
most of the red area in the center (Midwest).
Areas of
greatest aquifer

27. Other Effects of Groundwater
Overpumping
Groundwater
overpumping can
cause land to sink,
and contaminate
freshwater aquifers
near coastal areas
with saltwater.
Figure 14-11
28. Other Effects of Groundwater
Overpumping
Sinkholes form when
the roof of an
underground cavern
collapses after being
drained of
groundwater.

29. Fig. 12.18, p.306
►Subsidence
– a sinking of
the Earth’s
surface caused
by loss of
aquifer
porosity
►The land in
this San
Joquin Valley
region has
subsisted by
30 feet in 50
years.
30. Fig. 14-12, p. 316
Solutions
Groundwater Depletion
Prevention Control
Waste less water Raise price of water
to discourage waste
Subsidize water
conservation
Ban new wells in
aquifers near
surface waters
Tax water pumped
from wells near
surface waters
Buy and retire
groundwater
withdrawal rights
in critical areas
Do not grow water-
intensive crops in
dry areas
Set and enforce
minimum stream
flow levels
