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.
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 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.

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.

So, the Library is more than just the building in Alexandra Square, it is also the digital library, all the ebooks and electronic journal articles and databases that you can access as a student at Lancaster.
You can access the digital library from wherever you are – whether in student accommodation, on the bus, in a café or when you go home for vacation. As a student at Lancaster you have access to over 400,000 ebooks, 47,000 ejournals and over 250 specialist databases,
Look out for the Library on the student portal, the University website, iLancaster, and on Moodle.
If you forget your password you can reset it via ISS.
In this next part of the talk I’ll share some of the ways of getting the most out of Library resources, whether through an online reading list, using OneSearch to read around a topic, and to find subject specific information through your subject guide.
We’ll start with resource lists.
Most modules will have a reading or resource list
Some lists link directly through to books, ebooks and articles in the Library
As I’ve mentioned, you can search OneSearch to see what is available in print and digitally.
If you are studying a new topic, you could look for a book to find out more about the topic, or when you are writing an essay, you can find online journal articles written by specialists in your field to support your arguments.
DEMO:
Login
Title/ author search – books and more
Topic search – books and more
Topic search – articles and more
Focused information, content and Library resources for students and researchers
Include specialist databases – subject databases or those where you can find different types of information e.g. newspapers
Get everyone to go to subject guide for their subject(s)
DEMO – see sheet
Show of hands how many people use Google scholar?
You can also access many Library resources if you link your Scholar account to Lancaster University onesearch – I’ll quickly show you how – QR code takes you to a short video.
Remember, not all publishers allow Google to access their content.
OK, so we’ve looked at the Library space and some of the library resources, let’s look at how everything works. If you are ever unsure when you are in the Library, just ask one of the Library staff who are on A floor.
So, we looked at how to find a book on OneSearch, but how do you then find the book on the shelves. Lets go back to our search.
On OneSearch look for – the location and classmark. Make a note of the classmark, its made up of capital letter,s, numbers, full-stops and lower case letters. The system is called Bliss and its not found in many libraries.
