The document discusses global warming, defining related terms like the greenhouse effect and climate change. It explains that human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation are releasing excess greenhouse gases, accelerating the greenhouse effect and causing global warming. Potential consequences of unchecked global warming include rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and impacts on agriculture and food supply. The document also notes arguments against the existence of global warming and presents the authors' opinion that it is real and will affect the future.

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.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.
2. What is the greenhouse effect? Climate change? Global warming? Greenhouse effect-the atmosphere has a natural supply of “greenhouse gases” that capture the Sun’s radiation and keep the surface of the Earth warm enough to live on. Climate change-seasonal changes over a long period of time Global warming-when there are too many greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which absorb to much radiation that could raise the global temperature over time
3. How are each (greenhouse effect, climate change, global warming) related? Humans are adding more unnecessary greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, accelerating the greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming. Global warming is causing the global temperature to rise, causing climate change.
4. What are the primary causes of global warming? Pollution: Burning fossil fuels (non-renewable resources such as coal, oil, gas, etc.) gives off carbon dioxide, a well-known pollutant. The gas methane, another natural pollutant, escapes from underground when we mine for coal and oil. Using electricity often burns fossil fuels, so wasting it is unnecessary pollution. Population: More people=more food Manure used to grow food on farms gives of methane. More people=more transportation Having more cars means there will be more pollution, especially since many people have more than one car. We breathe out CO2 that trees and plants absorb, but deforestation used to make space for homes demolishes plantation
5. What are the possible consequences if we do not work to stop global warming? Sea levels could rise icecaps are melting An increase in ocean temperatures could affect different sea animals, which could affect our food supply Severe weather patterns: warmer temperatures an cause an increase in storms and flooding Warmer winters and hotter summers Rising temperatures could affect agriculture because they could cause certain plants to stop producing fruit. This would also affect us and other living things.
6. How is global warming impacting the economy? Global warming can largely affect the economy in farming. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causes an increase in plant growth, causing many farmers to have an abnormal growing season. This extreme growth of food, like corn and beans, causes an increase in cost of production, which then results in prices of the food rising. Insects, severe drought, and scarcity of water can also cause productivity losses.
7. What are ways we can all fight global warming? Some easy ways to help fight global warming: Dress warmly during the winter and coolly during the summer so you do not have to turn up the heat or air conditioning in your home too high Wash clothes in cold water Dry clothes on a clothesline Use windows for light instead of lamps and electric lighting during the day Dry your hair with a towel instead of a hair-dryer Take public transport, ride a bike, or ride a motorcycle for transportation Eat local foods that do not have to be transported long distances
8. What is the basic argument against global warming? Basically, the argument against global warming says that it is a hoax and money could be wasted trying to fix a problem that may not be real. Many believe efforts to try to fix this issue would be more of a waste of money than a productive help to the planet. Groups such as the American Policy Roundtable have found data and temperature patterns that do not show any effects of global warming at all, and believe that small amounts of global warming could be beneficial to the Earth.
9. What are our personal opinions about global warming? We believe that global is real and will affect us in the future. Examples of this are rising sea levels because of the icecaps melting, increasing ocean temperatures, warmer winters, and hotter summers.
