The Genesis of Pan-Africanism: A Historical PerspectiveAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Pan-Africanism is a movement to secure human rights, self-government, independence, and unity
for all African peoples. The spirit of solidarity and collaboration among African societies is ages old, fading and
flourishing from one century to the next. Pan-Africanism emerged once again at the end of the eighteenth century
as an anti-slavery and anti-colonial movement. Its appeal was both indigenous and international. Africans saw
their land invaded by European powers, a scenario that sparked resistance. The African struggle for freedom
coincided with anti-slavery sentiments in Europe and America, among other regions. In its original form, PanAfricanism had a wider scope than the geographic continent. It encompassed the African diaspora and descendants
worldwide. Seeking to unify the African people into a single community, Pan-Africanism grew and changed over
time, each century adding to its richness and passing on its legacy to the next. An ethnic, economic, political, and
social mosaic, Africa has struggled with an ambition for a united continent while at the same time being conscious
of the deep divisions within her borders. Along with the vision of oneness are the conflicting demands by Africa’s
sovereign states and regions, involving a mix of stakeholders—policymakers, national legislatures, and citizens
of independent countries. Still, for all its twists and turns, the movement embodies a vision of Africa liberated and
united, right up to the present day.

Humanities Crowdsourcing on the Zooniverse PlatformUCLDH
Zooniverse (https://www.zooniverse.org/) is a world-leading academic crowdsourcing organization based at the University of Oxford, the Adler Planetarium and the University of Minnesota. This talk will provide an overview of the types of metadata extraction and full text transcription projects and tools that are currently available on the platform. It will give an overview of the design and lessons learned from projects such as Operation War Diary, Science Gossip, Shakespeare’s World and Measuring the ANZACs, and suggest ways in which crowdsourced data can be used in the humanities. The talk will also provide an overview of the free Project Builder (https://www.zooniverse.org/lab), where anyone with an internet connection can create their own project and obtain their own data.

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.
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.

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.

6. Performance
“Under the drippings of the American
sanctuary slavery has its existence.
Whips, chains, gags, blood-hounds,
thumb-screws, and all the bloody
paraphernalia of slavery lie right under
the drippings of the sanctuary, and
instead of being corroded and rusted by
its influence, they are kept in a state of
preservation. Ministers of religion
defend slavery from the Bible –
ministers of religion own any number of
slaves – bishops trade in human flesh –
churches may be said to be literally built
up in human skulls, and their very walls
cemented with human blood…"
7. Print Culture
Abolitionist John Estlin was
friends with the editor of
London’s second biggest
newspaper, The Advertiser, a
connection William Craft
exploited to ensure larger
coverages of his lectures.
William Wells Brown exploited
this connection too, and in a
letter published in The Advertiser
in September 1852, wrote he was
“informed by my kind friend Mr
Estlin, of Bristol, that you would
insert any article that I might
write in favour of my enslaved
countrymen.”

Shields “and such other
Towns as lay in my way,
and in which I may be
invited to lecture.”
(1846).
