Abstract
WCB Wilson was one of Queensland’s early pioneering surveyors. While we have heard of Dixon, Staplyton and Warner, few of us know the exploits of Wilson. In this sesquicentenary of Queensland as a state, I thought it appropriate to add some character to a name that we may only see on a plan. I also explore the accuracy of one of his surveys in terms of ‘following in his footsteps’ when reinstating boundaries created by Wilson almost 150 years ago.

Heart of Darkness (1899) is a novella[citation needed] by Polish novelist Joseph Conrad, about a voyage up the Congo River into the Congo Free State, in the heart of Africa, by the story's narrator Marlow. Marlow tells his story to friends aboard a boat anchored on the River Thames, London, England. This setting provides the frame for Marlow's story of his obsession with the ivory trader Kurtz, which enables Conrad to create a parallel between London and Africa as places of darkness.
Central to Conrad's work is the idea that there is little difference between so-called civilized people and those described as savages; Heart of Darkness raises important questions about imperialism and racism.
Originally published as a three-part serial story in Blackwood's Magazine, the novella Heart of Darkness has been variously published and translated into many languages. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Heart of Darkness as the sixty-seventh of the hundred best novels in English of the twentieth century.
Joseph Conrad acknowledged that Heart of Darkness was in part based on his own experiences during his travels in Africa. In 1890, at the age of 32, he was appointed by a Belgian trading company to serve as the captain of a steamer on the Congo River. Conrad, who was born in Poland and later settled in England, had eagerly anticipated the voyage, having decided to become a sailor at an early age. While sailing up the Congo river from one station to another, the captain became ill, Conrad assumed command of the boat and guided the ship to the trading company's innermost station. He reportedly became disillusioned with Imperialism, after witnessing the cruelty and corruption perpetrated by the European companies in the area. The novella's main narrator, Charles Marlow, is believed to have been based upon the author.

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.

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.
1. Lauryn Klopf<br />Pd. 1, Time Travler<br />February 23, 2011<br />Macedonian Journal<br />345 B.C<br />Day One:<br />I’ve been wondering this mountainous country for a while now, traveling from city to city. I think i have finally found a city I want to stay in, Pella. It’s the capital of Macedonia. While walking around, I noticed that the city had strong, tall brick walls. I went to the central agora, where they had a flea market. The pottery they have here is gorgeous. While I was looking at this one bowl, this man came up to me. He said “It is beautiful, yes?” I couldn’t agree with him more. I replied “Yes it sure is. It’s the most amazing piece of art I’ve ever seen.” He smiled at me and said thank you. <br /> <br /> 359 B.C.<br />Day Two:<br />“He’s dead, he’s dead!” As I walk through the streets of Pella, this is all that I hear. I have no clue who they are talking about, but it must be someone important…and I must find out who it is. Walking through the crowded streets, a young boy ran into me, after he said sorry, I stopped and asked him, if he knew what all the excitement was about. He replied, “King Perdiccas III is dead.” <br />-54292521844000Day Three:<br />I knew the king was at battle with the Illyrians. He wanted to free north-western Macedonia from Illyrian. Sadly the Macedonian army has lost the fight. They lost 4,000 men, and their loved king. With the death of Perdiccas III though, Phillip II takes the position of ruler. The country is at one of the lowest points of their history. All the surrounding countries want to put an end to Macedonia. King Phillip is not afraid though, he is determined to rebuild the empire, and have it be two times as strong as before. <br />One year later…<br />Day Four:<br />8 a.m. King Phillip has gone to war with the Illyrians! He is determined to defeat them, and he wants north-western Macedonia free. Over the past year he has done nothing but train his army. He wanted to make sure they were prepared for the war. This is all I have for now; I will write more when I hear news.<br />10:45 p.m. They have won! The Illyrians retreated, leaving 7,000 of their men, dead on the battlefield. Finally, north-western Macedonia is free. Upper and north-western Macedonia is under Macedonian control once again. All the people are so excited. <br />357 B.C.<br />Day Five:<br />A prince has been born. King Phillip and Queen Olympias named him Alexander. The people here in Macedonia are so happy. While in at market I was talking to an older lady. She had asked if I heard the news. I replied “Yes, it’s just wonderful.” She responded, “He will be great, just like his father is. King Phillip has really turned around Macedonia, for the better.” As I walked home, I couldn’t stop thinking about how right she was. Phillip has really helped 2886075127000Macedonia, and Alexander will do the same. <br />336 B.C.<br />Day Six:<br />Its spring time right now and King Phillip has just set off with his army to invade Persia. He has already sent 10,000 troops to Asia Minor to get ready to attack. He is currently having a celebration party for his daughter’s marriage to prince Alexander of Epirus. I am attending the event. It is quit extravagant. People are chatting away, dance, congratulating the prince and princess. When all of a sudden Pausanias, a young assassin, threw a dagger at King Phillip, and killed him right there! Everyone was shock.<br />Day Seven:<br />Alexander has taken over the position of ruler. As I am writing this, he is at war with the Persians. I hear that it is a long and grueling battle. The Macedonian soldiers are putting up a good fight….we just got in news about the battle! Alexander has conquered the Persians. He has occupied land as far as India. Many of his soldiers did die during the battle, but it was for a good cause. This is a great accomplishment for Macedonia, since we just have lost our recent king!<br />Day Eight: <br />I got the privilege to speak to the great ruler himself today. He has to be one of the most intelligent military leaders of his time. He told me all about the techniques he uses with his army to win battles. They use the Macedonian phalanx which an infantry formation. Alexander didn’t actually use the phalanx to fight, he uses it as a wall and then has other cavalry come out and fight. He claims that this is the best tactic, and it sure seems like it.<br />324 B.C.<br />Day Nine:<br />Over the past 11 years Alexander has conquered more than 22,000 miles of land. He has founded around 70 cities. All named after him, of course. The most famous city would have to be Alexandria in Egypt. In the city of Alexandria there are three great building which are the Pharos lighthouse, the Sarapeum, and Library of Alexandria. The Library of Alexandria is the only known library so far, and the greatest. Today there is said to be 30,000 works that are held in 400,000 to 700,000 papyrus scrolls. <br />323 B.C.<br />Day Ten:<br />He’s gone. The most victorious leader of the world has passed. Alexander is dead. He died just today. He was in Babylon, and it is said that he caught a fever. The past twelve days he had been fighting it, but today he could fight no more. Alexander was alone when he died since his companion Hephaestion and his faithful horse Bucephalas are no longer alive. He really spend the last year of his life in Babylon, alone and drunk. He passed away at the young age of 33. He will surely be remembered forever.<br /> <br />Bibliography <br />Ilyov, Vasil. quot;
