Immigration is the movement of people between countries, including those who settle permanently or temporarily for work. History shows human migration began in Africa and spread worldwide. There are currently 244 million international migrants globally, with the US hosting the most (19% of the total). While countries have varying immigration laws, studies find immigration has overall positive economic effects on native-born populations, with little evidence it negatively impacts employment or wages. Remittances from migrant workers also benefit both sending and receiving countries.
FMO has adopted the definition of ‘forced migration’ promoted by the International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM) which describes it as ‘a general term that refers to the movements of refugees and internally displaced people (those displaced by conflicts) as well as people displaced by natural or environmental disasters, chemical or nuclear disasters, famine, or development projects.’ FMO views forced migration as a complex, wide-ranging and pervasive set of phenomena. The study of forced migration is multidisciplinary, international, and multisectoral, incorporating academic, practitioner, agency and local perspectives. FMO focuses on three separate, although sometimes simultaneous and inter-related, types of forced migration. These three types are categorized according to their causal factors: conflict, development policies and projects, and disasters.
Forced migration has accompanied persecution, as well as war, throughout human history but has only become a topic of serious study and discussion relatively recently. This increased attention is the result of greater ease of travel, allowing displaced persons to flee to nations far removed from their homes, the creation of an international legal structure of human rights, and the realizations that the destabilizing effects of forced migration, especially in parts of Africa, the Middle East, south and central Asia, ripple out well beyond the immediate region.
People move for a wide variety of individual reasons. But there have been two moments in U.S. history in which millions of people came to this country at the same time.
What kinds of large-scale disruptions cause millions of people to move at the same time?
These are both times of global economic upheaval. The industrial revolution caused a massive economic shift across the world, from agricultural economies to urban/industrial economies, realignments of global power, and millions of economic and political refugees.

Migration – the temporary or permanent movement of people from one place to another.
Migration impacts on population change. It is difficult to account for this population change as much migration is illegal and not accounted for. The government often underestimate the number of migrants to help boost support, while the press often overestimate the number of migrants to sell sensational news articles.
Migration is a common phenomenon.The world is shrinking. The world is becoming a global village.Country boundaries and barriers no longer restrict people movement.
The report, prepared by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, draws its results from surveys done between 2015 and 2017 in 156 countries.

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.
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”.

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.

2. Immigration is the international movement of
people into a destination country of which they
are not natives or where they do not possess
citizenship in order to settle or reside there,
especially as permanent
residents or naturalized citizens, or to take
up employment as a migrant worker or
temporarily as a foreign worker.
3. History• Human migration started with the migration out of Africa
into the Middle East, and then to
Asia, Australia, Europe, Russia, and the Americas. This is
discussed in the article pre-modern human migration.
• Recent history is discussed in the articles history of
human migration and human mifration
• When people cross national borders during their
migration, they are called migrants or immigrants (from
Latin: migrare, wanderer) from the perspective of the
country which they enter. From the perspective of the
country which they leave, they are called emigrant or
outmigrant. Sociology designates immigration usually
as migration (as well as emigration accordingly outward
migration).
4. • As for economic effects, research suggests that migration
is beneficial both to the receiving and sending countries.
Research, with few exceptions, finds that immigration on
average has positive economic effects on the native
population, but is mixed as to whether low-skilled
immigration adversely affects low-skilled natives
5. Studies show that the elimination of barriers to
migration would have profound effects on
world GDP, with estimates of gains ranging between
67 and 147 percent. Development economists argue
that reducing barriers to labor mobility between
developing countries and developed countries would
be one of the most efficient tools of poverty
reduction.
6. • The academic literature provides mixed findings for the
relationship between immigration and crime worldwide,
but finds for the United States that immigration either has
no impact on the crime rate or that it reduces the crime
rate. Research shows that country of origin matters for
speed and depth of immigrant assimilation, but that there
is considerable assimilation overall for both first- and
second-generation immigrants.
8. Statistics
As of 2015, the number of international migrants has reached 244 million
worldwide, which reflects a 41% increase since 2000. One third of the
world's international migrants are living in just 20 countries. The largest
number of international migrants live in the United States, with 19% of
the world's total. Germany and Russia host 12 million migrants each,
taking the second and third place in countries with the most migrants
worldwide.
9. • Saudi Arabia hosts 10 million migrants, followed by
the United Kingdom (9 million) and the United Arab Emirates
(8 million). Between 2000 and 2015, Asia added more
international migrants than any other major area in the world,
gaining 26 million. Europe added the second largest with about
20 million. In most parts of the world, migration occurs
between countries that are located within the same major area.
In 2015, the number of international migrants below the age of
20 reached 37 million, while 177 million are between the ages
of 20 and 64. International migrants living in Africa were the
youngest, with a median age of 29, followed by Asia (35
years), and Latin America/Caribbean (36 years), while
migrants were older in Northern America (42 years), Europe
(43 years), and Oceania (44 years).
10. ECONOMIC MIGRATION
The term economic migrant refers to someone who has
travelled from one region to another region for the
purposes of seeking employment and an improvement
in quality of life and access to resources. An economic
migrant is distinct from someone who is
a refugee fleeing persecution.
11. Many countries have immigration and visa restrictions
that prohibit a person entering the country for the
purposes of gaining work without a valid work visa. As a
violation of a State’s immigration laws a person who is
declared to be an economic migrant can be refused entry
into a country.
The World Bank estimates that remittances totaled
$420 billion in 2009, of which $317 billion went to
developing countries.
12. ECONOMIC EFFECTS
A survey of leading economists shows a consensus behind the view
that high-skilled immigration makes the average American better
off. A survey of the same economists also shows strong support
behind the notion that low-skilled immigration makes the average
American better off. A survey of European economists shows a
consensus that freer movement of people to live and work across
borders within Europe makes the average European better off, and
strong support behind the notion that it has not made low-skilled
Europeans worse off.
According to David Card, Christian Dustmann, and Ian Preston,
"most existing studies of the economic impacts of immigration
suggest these impacts are small, and on average benefit the native
population". In a survey of the existing literature, Örn B Bodvarsson
and Hendrik Van den Berg write, "a comparison of the evidence from
all the studies... makes it clear that, with very few exceptions, there is
no strong statistical support for the view held by many members of
the public, mainly that immigration has an adverse effect on native-
born workers in the destination country."
