The story continues with Dracomeer the Wizard and Springle the Knight getting ready to set out on an important adventure into the Icey Peaks with a mysterious sword.
With Eyes No Longer Blind - the first three chaptersThomas Corfield
When the seven most dangerous poets in the world announce they want to own the place, it befalls Oscar, Lyeia and a baker who makes buns with petrol to do something constructive about it.
Consider a world inhabited with only cats and dogs: a society recognizable as our own, but with its eccentricities being the norm, rather than the exception. A world where the charm of Kenneth Grahame’s Wind In the Willows meets the exotic world of Ian Fleming’s Bond. A world where fluffy just got dangerous. These are the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels, also known as the Dooven Books: welcome to the genre of New Fable.
The books follow Oscar Teabag-Dooven, a secret agent who believes he's more poet than spy. He finds training brash and clinical, with far too much shouting and not enough singing. But triumphing over villains and thwarting their garish plans isn’t easy when unable to do much more than rhyme one lot of words with another. Nevertheless, he succeeds with the help of the characters he meets and a courage that arises when he believes it cannot.

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.

Lecture 08 - Imagining the Future
1. Lecture 8: Imagining the Future
English 192
Summer 2013
15 August 2013
Miss Prism. Do not speak slightingly of the three-volume novel,
Cecily. I wrote one myself in earlier days.
Cecily. Did you really, Miss Prism? How wonderfully clever you
are! I hope it did not end happily? I don’t like novels that end
happily. They depress me so much.
Miss Prism. The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That
is what Fiction means.
Cecily. I suppose so. But it seems very unfair.
— Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest, Second Act
2. A few questions about papers
● Structure?
● Formatting & grammar?
● Relation to the paper prompts?
● Anything else?
3. The meaning of life: two views
“the duty and purpose of man in this world is to
fight unceasingly against the evils that Tribulation
had loosed upon us.” (41)
Aunt Harriet: “Henry will turn me out, I think. He’ll
find another wife, how can give him proper
children. There’ll be nothing – nothing in the world
for me – nothing.” (71)
An unnamed Fringes man: “They [the Old People]
weren’t God’s last word like they thought: God
doesn’t have any last word. If He did He’d be
dead. But He isn’t dead: and He changes and
grows, like everything that’s alive.” (153)
4. Women’s opportunities
Anne: “I’m a woman – I’ve a right to marry and
have children.” (91)
Anne: “I’ve got Alan – and you want me to waste
years waiting for someone who may never come
– or whom I may hate if he does. You want me to
give up Alan, and risk being cheated of
everything. Well, I don’t intend to. […] I’ve as
much right to get what I can out of life as anyone
else. […] What is going to happen to the other
two then – the two who’ll be on the outside?
They won’t be in any group. Do you mean they
ought to be cheated out of everything?” (92)
5. Uncle Axel: “But a woman who is in love is a
different proposition. She lives in a world where
all the old perspectives have altered. She is
blinkered, single-purposed, undependable in
other matters. She will sacrifice anything,
including herself, to one loyalty. For her, that is
quite logical; for everyone else it looks not quite
sane; socially it is dangerous.” (95)
“Anne’s suicide was a tragedy, but no one saw
any mystery about it. A young wife, pregnant
with her first child, thrown off her mental
balance by the shock of losing her husband in
such circumstances; it was a lamentable result,
but understandable.” (102)
6. “Aunt Harriet had been more than ready to
break the Purity Laws. So had Sophie’s mother.
It made one wonder how many mothers there
might be who were turning a blind eye towards
matters that did not actually infringe the
Definition of the True Image – and perhaps to
things that did infringe it, if the inspector could
be dodged.” (126)
7. Women’s virtue
Joseph, to Harriet: “You have much to pray for.
Not only have you blasphemed by producing a
false image, but in your arrogance you have set
yourself against the law, and sinned in intent.”
(72-73)
“My father’s voice went on explaining about the
need for Purity in thought as well as in heart
and conduct, and its very particular importance
to women.” (74)
8. “Petra remained unabashed. ‘She [the woman from
Sealand] says I’ll get better still if I work at it, and then
when I grow up I must have babies who can make
strong think-pictures, too.” (145)
Gordon, the “spider-man”: “this one [Rosalind] can
have children. I’ve had a fancy for some children a long
time now – even if they do happen to take after their
father a bit.” (163)
Sophie: “He [Gordon]’s kind to me, David. He’s fond of
me. You’ve got to have as little as I have to know how
much that means. […] I’d have given him babies gladly,
if I could.” (167)
Sophie: “Oh, God, what’s the use? If he weren’t in love
with you what good would I be to him – like this?” (177)
9. Figures of contemporary problems
The Sealand woman: “They [the Old People]
had no means of consensus. They learnt to co-
operate constructively in small units; but only
destructively in large units. They aspired
greedily, and then refused to face the
responsibilities they had created. They created
vast problems, and then buried their heads in
the sands of idle faith. There was, you see, no
real communication, no understanding between
them.” (156)
10. The “magic bullet” fantasy
The Sealand Woman: “They [the Old People]
could never have succeeded. If they had not
brought down Tribulation which all but
destroyed them; then they would have bred
with the carelessness of animals until they had
reduced themselves to poverty and misery, and
ultimately to starvation and barbarism. One way
or another, they were foredoomed because
they were an inadequate species.” (157)
11. The fantasy of perfect communion
“‘But Tribulation –’ I began.
“Uncle Axel moved impatiently. ‘A word,’ he
said, ‘a rusted mirror, reflecting nothing. It’d do
the preachers some good to see it.” (78-79)
“What, then, could there be for any of us tied
closely to a half-dumb ‘normal’ who can never
at best make more than a clever guess at
anyone else’s feelings or thoughts? Nothing but
prolonged unhappiness and frustration.” (93)
12. Petra’s repetition of the Sealand woman:
“people who can only talk with words have
something missing. She says we ought to be
sorry for them because, however old they grow,
they’ll never be able to understand one another
much better. They’ll have to be one-at-a-times
always, never think-togethers.” (145-46)
“And we don’t have to flounder among the
shortcomings of words; it is difficult for us to
falsify or pretend a thought even if we want to;
on the other hand, it is almost impossible for us
to misunderstand one another.” (93)
13. The fantasy of progressive triumph
The unnamed Fringes man: “It’s your parts
where the old Devil’s hanging on and looking
after his own. Arrogant, they are. The true
image, and all that. … Want to be like the Old
People. Tribulation hasn’t taught ’em a thing.
…” (153)
The Sealand woman: “We are the New People
– your kind of people. The people who can
think-together. We’re the people who are going
to build a new kind of world – different from the
Old People’s world, and from the savages’.”
(156)
14. “The Old People brought down Tribulation, and
were broken into fragments by it. Your father
and his kind are a part of those fragments.
They have become history without being aware
of it. They are determined still that there is a
final form to defend: soon they will attain the
stability they strive for, in the only form it is
granted – a place among the fossils. …” (182)
“We have a new world to conquer: they have
only a lost cause to lose.” (183)
15. A brief comment about the ending
Deus ex machina [day-uus eks mak-ina]. The “god
from a machine” who was lowered on to the stage by
mechanical contrivance in some ancient Greek plays
(notably those of Euripides) to solve the problems of
the plot at a stroke.[...] The term is now used
pejoratively for any improbable or unexpected
contrivance by which an author resolves the
complications of the plot in a play or novel, and which
has not been convincingly prepared for in the preceding
action: the discovery of a lost will was a favourite resort
of Victorian novelists.
