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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Lionsgate - Institution Research
1.
2. Lionsgate (formerly known as Cinépix Film
Properties) is a Canadian-American film
production/distribution studio and a division
of Lions Gate Entertainment. It is the largest
and most successful mini-major film studio in
North America. It focuses on foreign and
independent films and has distributed various
commercially successful film series,
including The Twilight Saga (partially), The
Hunger Games, The Divergent Series, and The
Expendables.
3. Lions Gate Entertainment
Corporation (or Lionsgate) is a Canadian-American
entertainment company. The company was formed
in Vancouver, British Columbia, on July 3, 1997,
and is headquartered in Santa Monica,
California. As of November 2013, it is the most
commercially successful mini major film and
television distribution company in North America
and the seventh most profitable movie
studio. Lionsgate Films is not to be confused
with Robert Altman's former company, Lion's Gate
Films, although both names refer to the same
Vancouver landmark, the Lions Gate bridge.
4. Key People
• Frank Giustra – Founder
– Chairman until 2003
• Jon Feltheimer – Chief Executive
– Since 2000
– Expanded to co-chairman in 2005
• Michael Burns – joined in 1999
– Became vice-chairman in 2000
5. • Cinépix Film Properties was renamed Lions Gate Films on January 12, 1998. LGE also
purchased the Vancouver-based North Shore Studios, which became Lions Gate Studios. In
June 1998, LGE purchased International Movie Group, whose film library included Jean-
Claude Van Damme's Kickboxer.
• Its first major box office success was American Psycho in 2000, which began a trend of
producing and distributing films too controversial for the major American studios,
including Lolita (1997). Other notable films included Affliction (1997), Gods and
Monsters (1998), Dogma (1999), Cube 2: Hypercube (2002), Saw (2004), and the Michael
Moore documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004), which had been the studio's highest grossing
film until the release of The Hunger Games in 2012.
• In 2000, Giustra left the firm and it was taken over by Jon Feltheimer and Tom Ortenberg.
They decided to focus on the profits of videos and DVDs and began buying struggling firms
that controlled large libraries. The two most notable acquisitions were Trimark Holdings (650
titles) in 2000 and Artisan Entertainment in 2003. The Trimark purchase also included Cinema
Now, a broadband streaming website, where Lionsgate could feature its own movies. These
two along with other firms gave Lions Gate the second largest DVD library of any company,
which includes Total Recall, Reservoir Dogs, On Golden Pond, Super Mario Bros., Young
Guns, Dirty Dancing and It's a Wonderful Life, in some cases via output deals with Studio
Canal, ITC/Carlton, and Republic Pictures (the result of prior licensing deals with Lions Gate's
home video predecessor Artisan).
• Lions Gate occasionally co-produces films with major studios. For example, Lions Gate
teamed with Miramax Films for the 2004 sequel Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights and
with Paramount Pictures for 2002's Narc and 2004's The Prince & Me. Lions Gate was also a
silent partner in 20th Century Fox's 2004 sci-fi film The Day After Tomorrow. And also in
2004, for the first time ever, Lions Gate joined forces with independent rival United Artists in
producing Hotel Rwanda.
6. • On August 1, 2005, Lions Gate Entertainment acquired the entire library of
Modern Entertainment. On October 17, 2005, Lions Gate
Entertainment acquired Redbus Film Distribution for $35 million and
became Lionsgate UK on February 23, 2006.
• Lionsgate cut back its annual production by four in February 2009.
• The Lionsgate film The Hunger Games grossed $68.3 million when it premiered at
the U.S. box office on March 23, 2012. It was the best opening day ever for a non-sequel
and the fifth highest of all time. Of that total, $19.7 million was earned via
Thursday midnight screenings. In its first weekend, The Hunger Games grossed
$152.5 million, making it Lionsgate's highest grossing film after just three days.
• On January 13, 2012, Lions Gate Entertainment acquired Summit Entertainment,
the studio behind the Twilight franchise for $412.5 million. On May 3, 2012,
Lionsgate Films made an agreement with Code Black Enterprises' CEO Jeff
Clanagan to create Code Black Films, based at Lionsgate.
• On January 16, 2013, Lionsgate announced a low-budget film division to be led by
John Sacchi. The division will release films under $2.5 million. Sacchi has recently
looked to acquire such films as Rock Bottom Creek (2012) and other independently
made films as well. On Thursday, November 22, 2013, Lions Gate released The
Hunger Games: Catching Fire. In its opening weekend, the movie grossed $158
million at the US box office, surpassing its predecessor, which generated $150
million in its opening weekend. The film had a budget of $130 million, breaking
even soon after its opening, and making it profitable. Critics highly appraised the
film; it received a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 89% "certified fresh", and an IMDB
rating of 8.3/10. The next film in the Hunger Games franchise, Mockingjay: Part 1,
is scheduled to be released in 2014. Lions Gate has also recently acquired the
rights to the independent horror franchise Rock Bottom Creek and will begin
production in 2015.
7. Business Plan
– Create a production company to rival Hollywood
– Offered solely independent, low to moderate
budget films
– Aimed at independent film market
8. Bottom-line
• Lionsgate has grown to make more than just independent
films in many different markets
– films, television shows, video, record label and music publishing
• Grown to become a nearly $2 billion diversified global
entertainment corporation
• Leading next generation film studio
• Most commercially successful independent film and
television distribution company in North America, as of
2012
• Lions Gate has plans to begin working on creating original
series
