Lipids are a diverse group of hydrophobic biomolecules that include fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. They are made up of fatty acid chains bonded to a glycerol molecule or other alcohol. Lipids serve important functions like energy storage, insulation of nerve fibers, and as structural components of cell membranes. The main classes of lipids are triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids; triglycerides are the main form of fat storage in animals and are composed of fatty acid chains bonded to a glycerol molecule.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Lipids
Lipids are naturally occurring
hydrophobic molecules. They are
heterogeneous group of compounds related to
fatty acids. They include fats, oils, waxes,
phospholipids, etc.
They make up about 70% of the dry weight
of the nervous system. Lipids are crucial for the
healthy functioning of the nerve cells.
Lipids are greasy or oily organic
substances; lipids are sparingly soluble in water
and are soluble in organic solvents like
chloroform, ether and benzene.
3. Lipids are biomolecules with no unique
patterns of monomers; often made up of
chains of carbon, hydrogen, and a few oxygen
and stored within the adipose tissues.
Basic units: fatty acids
-made of fatty acid molecules that consist two
distinct regions:
a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain
a hydrophilic head
4.
5. Characteristics of Lipids
General characters of lipids are
• Lipids are relatively insoluble in water.
• They are soluble in non-polar solvents, like
ether, chloroform, methanol.
• Lipids have high energy content and are
metabolized to release calories.
• Lipids also act as electrical insulators, they
insulate nerve axons.
• Fats contain saturated fatty acids, they are
solid at room temperatures. Example,
animal fats.
6. • Plant fats are unsaturated and are liquid at
room temperatures.
• Pure fats are colorless, they have extremely
bland taste.
• They are freely soluble in organic solvents like
ether, acetone and benzene.
• The melting point of fats depends on the
length of the chain of the constituent fatty acid
and the degree of unsaturation.
• Geometric isomerism, the presence of double
bond in the unsaturated fatty acid of the lipid
molecule produces geometric or cis-trans
isomerism.
7. • Emulsification is the process by which a lipid
mass is converted to a number of small lipid
droplets. The process of emulsification happens
before the fats can be absorbed by the intestinal
walls.
• The fats are hydrolyzed by the enzyme lipases to
yield fatty acids and glycerol.
• The hydrolysis of fats by alkali is called
saponification. This reaction results in the
formation of glycerol and salts of fatty acids
called soaps.
• Hydrolytic rancidity is caused by the growth of
microorganisms which secrete enzymes like
lipases. These split fats into glycerol and free
fatty acids.
8. - Many lipids form when a glycerol molecule
combines with compounds called fatty acids

9. There are two groups
- The first group is composed of open-chain
compounds with polar heads and non-polar tails
(e.g. fatty acids, triglycerides, sphingolipids,
phosphoacylglecerols and glycolipids
- The second group is consists of fused ring
compounds exemplified by steroids, which
represents the cholesterol group.
10. Examples of Lipids
Few well known examples of lipids are as
follows:
Fatty acids - Oleic acid, Linoleic acid, Palmitoleic acid,
Arachidonic acid.
Fats and Oils - Animal fats - Butter, Lard, Human fat,
Herring oil. Plant oils - Coconut oil, Corn, Palm, Peanut,
Sunflower oil.
Waxes - Spermacti, Beeswax, Carnauba wax.
Phospholipids - Lecithins, Cephalins, Plasmoalogens,
Phosphatidyl inositols, Sphingomyelins.
11. Glycolipids - Kerasin, Phrenosin, Nervon,
Oxynervon.
Steroids - C 29, C 28, C 27, C 24, C 21 steroids.
Terpenes - Monoterpenes, Sesquiterpenes,
Diterpenes, Triterpenes.
Carotenoids - Lycopene, Carotenes,
Xanthophylls.
12. Structure of Fatty Acids
•Long chains of mostly carbon and
hydrogen atoms with a -COOH group at
one end.
•When they are part of lipids, the fatty
acids resemble long flexible tails.
13. Saturated and Unsaturated Fats
• Unsaturated fats :
– Carbon-carbon double bonds in the chains
– Configuration of one or more double
bonds between carbons in the fatty acids
allows for cis (“kinks” in the long chains of
hydrocarbon tails)
– Liquid at room temperature (oils, nuts, &
seeds)
Examples:
oleic and palmitoleic fatty acids
O
C-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH
unsaturated
14. Saturated fats:
- have only single C-C bonds in fatty
acid tails
- has lots of hydrogen
- solid at room temp (beef, pork,
chicken, dairy)
- most animal fats (Trans-fat)
17. Simple Lipids or Homolipids
Simple lipids are the esters of fatty acids with various
alcohols.
Fats and Oils (triglycerides and triacylglycerols) -
These are esters of fatty acids with a trihydroxy
alcohol, glycerol. A fat is solid at ordinary room
temperature, an oil is liquid.
Simple Triglycerides - Simple triglycerides are one in
which three fatty acids radicles are similar or are of
the same type. Example: Tristearin, Triolein.
Mixed Triglycerides are one in which the three fatty
acids radicles are different from each other. Example:
distearo-olein, dioleo-palmitin.
18. Triglycerides
Triacylglycerol or triglycerides result
from the esterification of three fatty acids
into glycerol.
Triglycerides do not form part of the
cell membrane. They accumulate in
adipose tissues (fat cells) as stored energy.
Lipase is an enzyme that can
hydrolyze triglycerides.
19. 2. Structure of Triglycerides
• Glycerol + 3 fatty acids
• 3 ester linkages are formed between a
hydroxyl group of the glycerol and a
carboxyl group of the fatty acid.
20. Glycolipid are the compounds of fatty acids
with carbohydrates and contain nitrogen but
no phosphoric acid. These are carbohydrates
linked to the alcohol group of a lipid via
glycosidic bond found in nerves and brain cell
membranes. Glycolipids plays a big role in
tissue and organ specificity.
21. Derived Lipids
Derived lipids are the substances derived from
simple and compound lipids by hydrolysis.
These includes fatty acids, alcohols,
monoglycerides and diglycerides, steroids,
terpenes, carotenoids.
The most common derived lipids are steroids,
terpenes and carotenoids
.
Terpenes in majority are found in plants.
Example: Natural rubber. gernoil, etc.
22. Carotenoids are tetraterpenes. They are widely
distributed in both plants and animals. They are
exclusively of plant origin. Due to the presence of
many conjugated double bonds, they are colored red
or yellow. Example: Lycopreene, carotenes,
Xanthophylls.
Steroids these contain fused ring systems consists of
three six-membrane rings and one five-membrane
rings. Steroids are important part of many
hormones.
Cholesterol, as a steroid is an important part of
the cell membrane. They serves as an insulator since
they are hydrophobic.
23. Steroids
• Structure: Four carbon rings with no fatty acid tails
• Functions:
• Component of animal cell membranes
• Modified to form sex hormones
