This document provides an introduction to AutoCAD and technical drafting. It discusses that CAD allows designers and computers to work as a problem-solving team, making drawing production faster and easier. It also identifies the basic computer hardware required for CAD, including the central processing unit, keyboard, monitor, storage memory, and peripherals like printers. The document explains that software provides the instructions to tell the computer what to do, and describes the basic types of operating system and application software used for CAD.
Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system, including devices like the central processing unit (CPU), memory, storage, and input/output peripherals. It represents the tangible, touchable elements that make up a computer or electronic system. On the other hand, software encompasses the intangible programs, applications, and data that enable hardware functionality. It includes operating systems, applications, and utilities that instruct and control the hardware to perform specific tasks. While hardware provides the infrastructure, software serves as the brain, orchestrating operations and allowing users to interact with the system, making the combination of both essential for the functioning of any computer or electronic device.

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.
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 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.

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.

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.
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. CAD IS IN!
COMPUTER AIDED DRAWING IS A TECHNIQUE WHERE THE
ATTRIBUTES OF THE COMPUTER AND THOSE OF THE DESIGNER
ARE COMBINED TOGETHER INTO A PROBLEM SOLVING TEAM.
USING THIS SOFTWARE MEANS FASTER AND EASIER PRODUCTION
OF QUALITY OUTPUT. CAD IS AN ESSENTIAL SKILL TO BE
ACQUIRED BY DRAFTSMAN NOWADAYS IN ORDER TO FINISH AN
ASSIGNED TASK.
3. Think about it!
What will happen if a draftsman uses a computer to
accomplish a task? As a future draftsman, what will
be your tool to be successful in this chosen career?
4. Let’s identify the computer hardware
and functions!
A. Hardware
A computer’s hardware includes all the physical parts of
the computer. These are the parts that we can see and
touch.
The hardware components include the Central Processing
Unit (CPU), keyboard, monitor and primary storage
memory (RAM), and the secondary storage memory.
Peripherals include disk drives, mouse, digitizers,
printers/plotters, etc.
5. THE SYSTEM UNIT
The main part of a
microcomputer is sometimes
called the chassis. It
includes the following parts:
motherboard,
microprocessor, memory
chips, buses, ports,
expansion slots, and cards.
6. CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT
(CPU)
It is the brain of the computer
where it performs all instructions
and calculations that are needed
to manage the flow of
information. It holds
instructions, data, and
intermediate final results during
processing. It also receives
instructions from software or
computer programs and
executes them.
7. KEYBOARD
It is the principal device for
communicating with the
computer. All keyboards
have letter keys, punctuation
keys, and a space bar which
are similar to the keys on a
typewriter. Keyboards also
have functions, numeric and
arrow keys in additional to
Alt, Ctrl, and Enter keys.
8. MONITOR
It has a screen that displays
information such as the
instruction you send to the
computer and the
information and results from
your computer are sent back
after interpreting your
instructions.
9. HARD DISK DRIVE (HDD)
It is known as a hard drive,
which is a storage device
that is installed inside the
computer. The hard drive is
used as permanent storage
for data. In a Windows
computer, the hard drive is
usually configured as the C:
drive and contains the
10. OPTICAL DRIVE
It is a storage device that
uses lasers to read data on
the optical media. There are
three types of optical drives:
Compact Disc (CD), Digital
Versatile Disc (DVD) and
Blu-Ray Disc (BD).
11. MOUSE
It is a small hand-held
device used to control the
cursor / crosshair on the
screen. It is used to select an
item by pointing to it and
clicking a button.
12. DIGITIZER TABLET
IT IS A GRAPHICS
It is a graphics drawing
tablet used for sketching
new images or tracing old
ones. It is also called a
"graphics tablet," where the
user writes or draws on the
surface of the device with a
wired or wireless pen or
puck. Often, mistakenly
13. PRINTER
It is an output device that is
used to print information
processed by your
computer. Printers and
plotters vary in speed and
output capabilities.
14. PLOTTER
It is an output device that
can produce better quality
drawings as compared to the
printer. However, the speed
of plotter is generally slower
than a printer.
15. B. SOFTWARE
The software is the set of programs that make a
computer run. Opposite to the hardware, the
software is an intangible part of a computer. They
are sets of instructions that tell the computer what
to do to come up with the desired result. The
software can be categorized into two main groups:
operating system software and application
software.
16. OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE
THE OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE PROVIDES VARIOUS
LEVELS OF INTERACTION (CALLED INTERFACE) BETWEEN
THE COMPUTER AND THE USER, AS WELL AS BETWEEN THE
COMPUTER AND THE APPLICATION SOFTWARE. THESE ARE
THE PROGRAMS THAT WORK WITHOUT YOUR
INTERVENTION. THEY AUTOMATICALLY OPEN ONCE YOU
BOOT YOUR COMPUTER. SOME OF THEIR TASKS INCLUDE
LOADING AND RUNNING PROGRAMS, CHECKING AND
PROTECTING COMPUTERS, AND CONTROLLING
HARDWARE.
17.
18. Application Software
The application software is the program installed
in a computer. It is also
called as programs. These enable you to do
different tasks like typing, making
presentations, editing pictures and videos, and
surfing the internet. It has a specific
use or task to perform such as AutoCAD for
architectural drawings and layouts,
Lotus 1-2-3 for business and marketing, Adobe
Photoshop for image processing,
and so on.
