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”.
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.

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 Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

8. Mechanisms through which stress
affect health
• Mental symptoms of stress range from sleeplessness and listlessness
through to clinical depression and suicide
• Physical effects range from appetite loss and nausea through to heart
damage and stroke
• Mental health problems like stress, anxiety and depression caused or
made worse by work results in:
- Sickness absence (£13B)
- Lost productivity
Societal consequences
10. Summary
• Stress and related conditions (e.g. anxiety) are
unequally distributed in England, both between
and within regions
• Disproportionately higher levels of stress in the
North East
• Important to consider the psycho-social
perspective in relation to health inequalities

Before I begin, I would just like to premise this presentation by outlining the two key dimensions of stress that I am interested in from a geographical perspective:
how stress manifests and is perpetuated by living in economic disadvantage;
(2) how the social environment and how, for example, social support and networks can mediate the ill-health effects of stress (or conversely contribute to stress if there is a lack of social support in place).
Hans Selye (1940s/50s): stress was defined as ‘a state of arousal resulting either from the presence of socioenvironmental demands that tax the ordinary adaptive capacity . . . or from the absence of the means to attain sought-after ends’ (Aneshensel 1992: 16). Thus, socioenvironmental demands – stressors – engender psychological stress, i.e. a troubled state of the mind which can surface in many ways, as anxiety, fear, hopelessness, or anger.
When putting this presentation together I thought to myself that starting with the question ‘how stressed are we?’ was a little pessimistic so I thought let’s start by asking ‘how happy are we?’
The % of people in the North East who responded to the Annual Population Survey scored their happiness as ‘low’ was just over 11.5%; the highest proportion of people compared to other regions of England. This might have something to do with the recent EU referendum results!
County Durham has some of the lowest scores in all four domains measured : happiness, worthwhile, anxiety and satisfaction
The North East Strategic Health Authority (SHA) had the highest admission rate of any of England's 10 SHAs (just under 24 per 100,000 of the population, or 620), while South Central SHA had the lowest (at nearly 11 per 100,000; or 440).
County Durham has some of the lowest overall scores on all four indicators in England, with more than a quarter of people in the area rating their anxiety yesterday as 9 or 10. The area, traditionally reliant on the public sector, has seen joblessness rise and services cut.
DefinitionsThis uses the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) which asks respondents 12 questions about their recent feelings (for more detail on the questions asked see link below). Once all 12 questions are scored, these scores are added so that each individual has a score which ranges from 0 to 12. A score of four or more has been shown to indicate that the individual has symptoms of mild to moderate illness such as anxiety or depression. A high score on the GHQ indicates that the respondent may have a mild to moderate mental illness.
% of scores 4 and more
Wilkinson (1997) believed that income inequality produces psychosocial stress, which leads to deteriorating health and higher mortality over time.
(1) the distribution of psychological stress is an important determinant of health inequalities in present-day affluent societies, (2) psychological stress is strongly influenced by the quality of social and interpersonal relations, and (3) the latter are determined to a large extent by the magnitude of society’s inequalities.
I read somewhere that every two minutes a worker in the UK is made ill through stress at work. Here is the estimated prevalence of working days lost due to stress and the third to last column shows the average days lost per worker. The NE performs the second worst out of the English regions, which is more than double the number of days lost per worker in London
Estimated days (full-day equivalent) off work and average days lost per (full-time equivalent) worker due to self-reported stress, depression or anxiety caused or made worse by work, by usual country and region of residence, for people working in the last 12 months, averaged 2011/12, 2013/14, 2014/15
Interacts with, and perpetuated by, material conditions
It is no coincidence that our region has higher levels of deprivation and stress
Just as it is true that people in lower socio-economic classes by virtue of their life circumstances are exposed to more stressors, and with fewer resources to manage them and greater vulnerability to stressors, places too are vulnerable.
