The document discusses the history and sightings of the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland. It provides details on when the term was first used in 1933 to describe a "monster-fish" or "sea serpent" sighted in Loch Ness. It includes pictures and descriptions of what the creature might look like, as well as summaries of several expeditions and sightings over the decades, with photos and video footage. However, the Loch Ness Monster's existence remains unproven, with evidence only being anecdotal.

The Paranormal Alphabet L The Loch Ness MonsterCharlie
In this edition of the paranormal alphabet I reach L where I go over the history of one of the worlds most iconic cryptids, the legend of the Loch Ness Monster, a sea serpent from Scottish folklore.
OBS! TEXTEN ÄR PÅ ENGELSKA
det här är mitt första sagan inte helt saga men en myt som finns på scotlad ovanför england på engelska kallar man det för The Loch Ness Monster så jag hade en presenattion och då fick jag fullpott,alltså ett A .
Jag gillar att läsa myter och jag vill gärna veta vad ni tycker om mitt presenatation.
om ni kan sätt ett betyg ex 1/10 = F 2/10 = E 3/10 E+ 4/10 = D 5/10 = D+ 6/10 = C 7/10 = C+ 8/10 = B 9/10 = B+ 10/!0 = A
Och jag vill tacka er!
Two different articles about the Iceman published about 15 years apart. The interpretations and theories surrounding him and his death changed drastically in that time. It's a nice illustration for how historical interpretations are not written in stone, but change depending on new evidence.

“CHAPTER III
THE ORIGINAL PENGUIN
Pinguinus impennis
The word “catastrophist” was coined in 1832 by William Whewell, one of the first presidents of the Geological Society of London, who also bequeathed to English “anode,” “cathode,” “ion,” and “scientist.” Although the term would later pick up pejorative associations, which stuck to it like burrs, this was not Whewell’s intention. When he proposed it, Whewell made it clear that he considered himself a “catastrophist,” and that most of the other scientists he knew were catastrophists too. Indeed, there was really only one person he was acquainted with ” “whom the label did not fit, and that was an up-and-coming young geologist named Charles Lyell. For Lyell, Whewell came up with yet another neologism. He called him a “uniformitarian.”
“Lyell had grown up in the south of England, in the sort of world familiar to fans of Jane Austen. He’d then attended Oxford and trained to become a barrister. Failing eyesight made it difficult for him to practice law, so he turned to the natural sciences instead. As a young man, Lyell made several trips to the Continent and became friendly with Cuvier, at whose house he dined often. He found the older man to be personally “very obliging”—Cuvier allowed him to make casts of several famous fossils to take back with him to England—but Cuvier’s vision of earth history Lyell regarded as thoroughly unpersuasive.”
“When Lyell looked (admittedly myopically) at the rock outcroppings of the British countryside or at the strata of the Paris basin or at the volcanic islands near Naples, he saw no evidence of cataclysm. In fact, quite the reverse: he thought it unscientific (or, as he put it, “unphilosophical”) to imagine that change in the world had ever occurred for different reasons or at different rates than it did in the present day. According to Lyell, every feature of the landscape was the result of very gradual processes operating over countless millennia—processes like sedimentation, erosion, and vulcanism, which were all still readily observable. For generations of geology students, Lyell’s thesis would be summed up as “The present is the key to the past.”
“As far as extinction was concerned, this, too, according to Lyell, occurred at a very slow pace—so slow that, at any given time, in any given place, it would not be surprising were it to go unnoticed. The fossil evidence, which seemed to suggest that species had at various points died out en masse, was a sign that the record was unreliable. Even the idea that the history of life had a direction to it—first reptiles, then mammals—was mistaken, another faulty inference drawn from inadequate data. All manner of organisms had existed in all eras, and those that had apparently vanished for good could, under the right circumstances, pop up again. Thus “the huge iguanodon might reappear in the woods, and the ichthyosaur in the sea, while the pterodactyle might flit agai ...
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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.

2. • Origins
• Physical appearance
• Photographs and films
• Searches for the monster
• Possible explanations
3. The term "monster" was reportedly applied for the
first time to the creature on 2 May 1933 by Alex
Campbell, the water bailiff for Loch Ness and a
part-time journalist, in a report in the Inverness
Courier after a reported sighting of a “monsterfish”,
“sea serpent” or a “dragon”.
Here is a picture of
the Loch Ness
Monster. Whether
true or not, we do
not know.

Ness
Where does it
live?
Loch Ness,
ScotlandWhy?
Loch Ness provides
a suitable
environment. It has
some deep
underwater caves
and plenty of
aquatic animals.
6. "Surgeon's Photograph"
(1934)
The "Surgeon's Photograph"
purported to be the first photo of a
"head and neck". Dr. Wilson claimed
he was looking at the loch when he
saw the monster, so grabbed his
camera and snapped five photos. After
the film was developed, only two
exposures were clear. The first photo
(the more publicized one) shows what
was claimed to be a small head and
back. It is probably the most famous
as well as controversial photo of
“Nessie”.
7. On 3 August 2012, skipper
George Edwards published a
photograph he claims to be
"The most convincing Nessie
photograph ever", which he
claimed to have taken on 2
November 2011. Edwards'
photograph consists in a
hump out of the water which,
according to him, remained
so for five to ten minutes. It is
the latest photo of “Nessie” so
far.
A hump like structure rising out of the water,
as seen above in the picture.
8. On 26 May 2007, Gordon Holmes, a 55-year-old lab technician, captured
video of what he said was "this jet black thing, about 45 feet (14 m) long,
moving fairly fast in the water." Adrian Shine, a marine biologist at the
Loch Ness 2000 centre in Drumnadrochit, described the footage as
among "the best footage [he has] ever seen." BBC Scotland broadcast the
video on 29 May 2007. STV News' North Tonight aired the footage on 28
May 2007 and interviewed Holmes.

9. Sir Edward Mountain
Expedition (1934)
Having read the book by Gould,
Edward Mountain decided to finance
a proper watch. Twenty men with
binoculars and cameras positioned
themselves around the Loch from
9 am to 6 pm, for five weeks starting
13 July 1934. They took 21
photographs, though none was
considered conclusive. Captain James
Fraser was employed as a supervisor,
and remained by the Loch afterwards,
taking cine film (which is now lost)
on 15 September 1934. When viewed
by zoologists and professors of
natural history it was concluded that
it showed a seal, possibly a grey seal.
10. In 1969 Andrew Carroll, field researcher for the New York Aquarium in
New York City, proposed a mobile sonar scan operation at Loch Ness.
The project was funded by the Griffis foundation. This was the tail-end
of the LNPIB's 1969 effort involving submersibles with biopsy
harpoons.
The trawling scan, in Carroll's
research launch Rangitea, took
place in October. One sweep of
the loch made contact with a
strong, animate echo for nearly
three minutes just north of
Foyers. The identity of the
contact remains a mystery. Later
analysis determined that the
intensity of the returning echo
was twice as great as that
expected from a 10-foot pilot
whale.
11. Eels
A giant eel was one of the first
suggestions made. Eels are
found in Loch Ness, and an
unusually large eel would fit
many sightings. Eels are not
known to protrude swanlike
from the water and thus
would not account for the
head and neck
sightings. Dinsdale dismissed
the proposal because eels
move in a side-to-side
undulation.
12. In a 1979 article, California biologist
Dennis Power and geographer
Donald Johnson claimed that the
Surgeon's Photograph was in fact
the top of the head, extended trunk
and flared nostrils of a swimming
elephant, probably photographed
elsewhere and claimed to be from
Loch Ness. In 2006, paleontologist
and artist Neil Clark similarly
suggested that travelling circuses
might have allowed elephants to
refresh themselves in the loch and
that the trunk could therefore be
the head and neck, with the
elephant's head and back providing
the humps. In support of this he
provided a painting
13. CONCLUSION
The Loch Ness monster is still one of the must arguable
cryptid. Popular interest and belief in the animal has
varied since it was brought to the world's attention in
1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with
minimal and much-disputed photographic material
and sonar readings. Yet people still believe in this
creature and it still remains the most famous and
widely known example of crypto zoology.
Editor's Notes
We are still unsure of the Loch Ness Monsters existence, therefore we don’t know about its magical powers. How ever we know it travels very fast as know one has yet been able to capture it!
I chose this mythical creature as the photos, conspiracies theories and historic stories have always interested me. I wonder if we’ll ever find out wither or not this creature is real…… Thanks for listening!
