Cities of the future will be more innovative and sustainable through the use of new technologies and designs. Rotating skyscrapers will allow natural light and solar power to reach all apartments, reducing energy consumption. Indoor sky bridges will connect buildings and allow faster, safer transportation between places. Flying cars powered by sustainable energy will enable quicker travel and deliveries. Education will utilize technology to provide high-quality learning to all areas of the world, helping to reduce economic disparities while saving funds that can be reinvested in environmental initiatives.
At the end of 2019, the overall amount of electric scooters sold approximated to 4.9 million. The device uses a motor that has the potential to propagate at a speed of no more than twenty miles per hour.
It is common to hear the sound of music as one walks down the streets of Toronto during the day. The talk and chatter on cell-phones and the busy-clicking of buttons as someone writes a text message. But imagine the amount of energy being used to help function all these small devices that are used in our everyday lives. Which is why this integrated media series is about the design of the ecoPLAY, which is a like a mini computer phone that runs on solar power. Instead of plugging in the charger into one’s outlets, the ecoPlay can be taken around with leisure, as it charges throughout the day which is a great way to save energy for the environment.
VIER is committed to accelerate the development and adoption of sustainable transportation technologies. In VIER, how we work is just as important as what we produce. We are guided by a set of values, each chosen by the very people who formed the Company.

Hearing the concerns about global warming and knowing our dependency on fossil fuels the solar roadways imagined to develop roadways with solar panels.
This innovation is begun in early 2009 and later the company was established by name Solar Roadways in U.S. and awarded a contract by federal government.
The Solar Roadway is a series of structurally-engineered solar panels that are driven upon.
The idea is to replace all current petroleum based asphalt roads, parking lots, and driveways with Solar Road Panels that collect energy to be used by our homes and businesses.
The ultimate goal is to store excess energy in or along-side the Solar Roadways.
International Journal of Engineering Research and Applications (IJERA) is an open access online peer reviewed international journal that publishes research and review articles in the fields of Computer Science, Neural Networks, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Plastic Engineering, Food Technology, Textile Engineering, Nano Technology & science, Power Electronics, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Computational mathematics, Image processing, Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Environmental Engineering, VLSI Testing & Low Power VLSI Design etc.
Solar Roadways - The future transport system ( Seminar report by Swapnil Patw...Swapneil Patwari
A solar roadway is a road surface that generates electricity by solar power photovoltaic cells. One current proposal is for 12 ft x 12 ft (3.658 m x 3.658 m) panels including solar panels and LED sign-age, that can be driven on. The concept involves replacing highways, roads, parking lots, driveways, and sidewalks with such a system. A layer of embedded LEDs will be used to create traffic warnings or crosswalks, and excess electricity could be used to charge electric vehicles or routed into the power grid. The electrical components will be embedded between layers of extremely durable, textured glass. A solar roadway is a series of structurally engineered solar panels that are driven upon. The idea is to replace current petroleum-based asphalt roads, parking lots, and driveways with solar road panels that collect energy to be used by homes and businesses, and ultimately to be able to store excess energy in or alongside the solar roadways. Thus renewable energy replaces the need for the current fossil fuels used for the generation of electricity, which cuts greenhouse gases and helps in sustainable development.
Parking lots, driveways, and eventually highways are all targets for the panels. If the entire United States Interstate Highway system were surfaced with Solar Roadways panels, it would produce more than three times the amount of electricity currently used nationwide. Existing prototype panels consist of three layers. 1. Road surface layer, 2. Electronics layer, 3. Base plate layer. Road Survey of India: India had a road network of over 42,45,805 kilometers in 2011.
In which national highways and state highways cover 0.05% of total road network.
These highways can produce 450TWh of electricity according to references when they are surfaced by solar panels.
But India needs 991TWh of electricity.
This implies that if 0.1% of total road network of India is surfaced with Solar Roadway panels, it would illuminate our nation. CONCLUSION: For roughly the same cost of the current systems (asphalt roads and fossil fuel burning electricity generation plants), the Solar Roadways can be implemented.
No more Global Warming.
Safer driving conditions.
Far less pollution.
A new secure highway infrastructure that pays for itself.
A decentralized, self-healing, secure power grid.
No more dependency on foreign oil.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.

IE - Presentation about cities in the future - Edoardo Fenoaltea
1. Cities of the future:
More innovative and
sustainable
How cities will be in the future benefitting the world by reducing its
emission and its global disparities as international funds will help
economically even poorer cities in their modernisation.

yengine/Main-1-Building-
Flexible.jpg
3. Rotating Skyscrapers: How will these be more
environmentally friendly?:
- each floor can both locate
towards the sunrise and the
sunset, and generally set
towards sunshine. This will help
reducing the use of artificial
light and excessive consumption
of energy as every floor is
receiving natural light during
day-time. A computer will give
one day of natural light to each
side. This will means that every
apartment will have a quarter of
a month of natural sunlight.
Exposing to the sun will also
allow the solar panels to
recharge. Therefore the energy
gained through solar panels will
be used by each apartment
when not facing the sun.
How will these be more
innovative?:
- each floor of these buildings is
able to rotate for 360°. This will
allow every floor to have a full
view just by clicking some
buttons. Solar panels ‘will be
applied on each window. All
these buildings will be
supported by earthquake-
resistant foundations in order
to resist to environmental
hazards. Skyscrapers are tall
therefore allows many
apartments in different sizes,
more apartment sizes in the
same building will make some
houses more affordable.

5. Building to building indoor bridges:
How will these be more innovative?
- As previously stated, every city will
enhance the construction of skyscrapers,
thus these indoor sky bridges will allow
moving between one place and another.
They will allow people to move with all
climate conditions and get everywhere in
time instead of being stuck in traffic
congestions, common in every
megalopolis. These “corridors” are safer
and reduce the number of deaths per
year due to car accidents. In addition, this
is faster than simply walking because they
are located over rivers, other buildings
and where roads are not direct. All the
pavements will be moving in both
directions, a solution to make transport
faster even when carrying heavy items as
they can just be laid down on the electric
pavement.
How will these be more
environmentally friendly?
-these bridges will reduce the use of
vehicles like cars and scooter by
making people get to places faster
and safer with every climatic
conditions. With a decrease in the
utilizations of fuel-engine vehicles
there will be a reduction in CO2
emissions, therefore cities will be
more sustainable and cleaner. This
reduction in pollution will also have
a positive impact on people’s life
expectancy as the air their breathe
is cleaner.

6. Flying Cars
Image source:
https://images.golos.io/DQmQY1MrCpQQdFXLFMpnz9H3SoJ1
LgK6A3ih23xgMM9rq4K/mc1.jpeg
How will these be more
innovative?
- these flying and easy to drive
vehicles are completely powered
by sustainable energy. These will
allow people to get to places
faster and without losing time
because of traffic. They can even
be used for longer journeys.
These vehicles can even be used
for deliveries allowing 1-day
deliveries. They are going to have
solar panels that will allow quick
charge even while moving.
How will these be more
sustainable?
- as they are electric and not using
non-renewable energy sources
they are more sustainable than
cars. Solar panels will allow not
only a constant charge but also a
more sustainable one. Due to these
vehicles the demand for oil will
decrease as its extraction. This
would lead to safer and greener
cities with lower pollution. Because
of the lower demand and lower
extraction oil spills and disasters
percentage will reduce, avoiding
big pollution impacts in oceans.
8. Education through technology:
Image source: https://cdn-images-
1.medium.com/max/1024/1*aR1lsCzAHW2bey88va9vOw.jpe
g
How will this be more innovative?
- technology will be used to in
education more effectively. Devices to
be used since early ages through
games and apps and it will allow
young children to be prepared for
school. Technology will allow students
to follow class online through videos
and review lessons with pause and
play in order to take more notes.
Using technology in education in
cities all over the world will help to
reduce development and economic
disparities. Disparities will be reduced
as people in Less Economically
developed country can easily access
high quality of education through
technology and modern devices.
How will this be more sustainable?
- the save of money because less
aid for education sent to
developing countries and less
governments funds towards
education can help
governments saving a money.
The money saved can be re-
invested in the pollution clean-
up of cities and the
transformation to sustainable
and environmentally friendly
cities. In addition, this would
prevent deforestation in many
areas of the world as less trees
are needed if less paper is
required in printing books.
