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.
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.

You have been a developer for 5 years. You are quite comfortable when it comes to developing
native applications for devices running the Android operating system. Some of your best applications
are about tracking the locations of people and vehicles, matching ‘companies looking for employees’
with the ‘people searching for jobs’, and broadcasting the current status of people to friends and
family members.
While you were visiting a seminar on the emerging mobile technologies, you meet someone. You
have an interesting conversation with her about the business opportunities and the technological
challenges in the field. You argued that without understanding the business ecosystems properly and
maintaining direct links between business ecosystems, resources and software products, software
firms were bound to fail. Also, you added that one has to have an overall vision about his career and
a moral responsibility about the effects of the products he develops.
Impressed by your ideas and enthusiasm, the person you met says that she is the owner and the CEO
of a very famous game development company. She says that they are working on a project where
one would play a game in real life circumstances using his/her cell phone as the game’s controller.
She gives David Fincher’s movie, The Game (1997) as an example (appendix). She asks you to watch
the movie and if interested in the project, give her a call.
A scene from the movie, The Game where Nicholas meets Christine for the first time.
Excited about the new challenge, you immediately go to a video store and buy the movie. Later that
night, after watching the movie, you realize that this could be the opportunity of a life time: A game
where everything feels real, although the whole story is actually fake and components of the plot are
manufactured real-time. It’s like being deluded by a conspiracy theory.
In the morning, you give her (Sarah) a call and ask to be included in the project. Sarah responds very
enthusiastically and asks you to come over ASAP. You are given the title “Game Architect” which
means that three roles, System Analyst, Process Engineer and Product Manager are squeezed into
one tiny role. Mesmerized by the opportunity, you quickly assume that you can do it all. And, the
money is so good. You’ll be paid $ 190,000 a year excluding all the additional benefits.
4. March 23rd

Phase II
After parking the luxury sedan the company has given you, you head directly to your office. This is
your first day in the firm. When you get there, you realize that you don’t really have a team and you
are required to finish the project with the limited resources that are available to you.
There are two paths you can follow, either you can try to understand the culture and the maturity
level of the firm or you can directly dive into the project and try to finish it in record time.
Regardless of your choice, you decide to come up with a list of what you have:
Sarah a middle aged woman, divorced with two kids, a self-made millionaire, college dropout,
early 40s, good with people, fluent in 2 languages, famous for being very confrontational, always has
an eye on the big picture, she has a soft spot for you, but she cannot decide whether to consider you
as her protégé or new toy boy.
Sarah is very comfortable in entertaining crowds and convincing them to do whatever she wants.
5. March 23rd
, 2016
Maxine a young woman, majored in Arts and Humanities (Visual & Performing Arts), early 30s,
good at Maths, fluent in 4 languages, famous for her activism, she was given the role of Project
Manager.
A typical male role wasn’t a challenge for Maxine.
Tom a seasoned developer who can do pretty much anything you can ask for,
computer scientist, excels when it comes to problem solving, a natural born detective,
tired of developing applications with no vision and stable requirements, looking for job
opportunities, has one or two job interviews every week and he’s giving you the evil eye.
Pay close attention to Tom’s whiz kid appearance with a touch of cynicism and childlike innocence.

James someone who has found himself in this position and doesn’t know why. He doesn’t
question it much and doesn’t want to leave even if he complains about it all the time. He does all the
dirty work, because he cannot handle anything more important or complex. He’s just like a guy
waiting for a bus that will never come. Major unknown. Middle aged with a loving wife, three kids
and two dogs. Has an alimony to pay and he’s in the process of buying a second house. He pays great
attention to the cleanliness of his car and he often asks you whether you have returned the pen you
borrowed yesterday.
Think about the appearance of James considering what he does every day.
When it comes to the product and the process you have:
Product
All you have is a list of Sarah’s crazy ideas written in every day English with no attributes attached to
them. The only details you can find are Tom’s notes attached to Sarah’s desires and Maxine’s ideas
about public relations. Tom and Maxine transform desires into tasks in nanoseconds. This is
considered as the “can do spirit” in the firm.
7. March 23rd
, 2016
Process
For you the current process is composed of two things: Listening to Sarah’s crazy ideas and being
bothered by team members’ e-mails asking for more work, more time, more money, more of
anything.
So, it’s pretty much like the following:
- Sarah asks you to do something, but she doesn’t listen to your suggestions. At that part of
the conversation she looks at you with bedroom eyes and just checks you out.
- After the regular Monday meetings, you feel powerless and used. You find yourself on your
own with no help coming.
- Your teammates start working right away because they consider vague ideas as workable
requirements and they know their pay checks (performance reviews) depend on this.
- Whenever you try to stop and think or try to act on something strategically, you are
considered as incompetent or someone trying to break a very well working system.
Sarah’s most famous quotes:
When asking someone to implement her crazy schemes:
“Why are you resisting? Resistance is futile.”
Part of her new employee morale program, after giving a big hug to an unsuspecting employee,
usually accompanied with a sad puppy face:
“I love you. Do you love me too?”

Here’s the information about your office:
You are surrounded by an army of employees most of whom you don’t know. You think that they are
mainly sales and public relations people, but you don’t have any proof. There are no rooms
dedicated for workshops. Meeting rooms are used by managers going over checklists, third party
representatives trying to sell things or people celebrating each other’s birthdays. There is no such
thing as the on-the-job training. Everybody is required to follow plans they have no say about. You
are supposed to act like a robot, do what you are told, but regardless of whether you enjoy it or not,
you will get the blame for anything that goes wrong.
This is what outside looks like. Your office building is very close to a variety of shops, cafes,
restaurants and historical buildings (300 meters). You can meet tourists from all around the world
there.
9. March 23rd
, 2016
Sarah lives in an ivory tower and if you go there before you are asked for, she won’t be interested in
what you want to say. These two chairs in front of the sofa are famous. Everybody is scared of being
there. You’re the only one who doesn’t know what the fuss is all about, because when you visit
Sarah’s office, she always asks you to sit right next to her and she looks at you as if she has other
things on her mind.
Phase III
You have tried to maintain the status quo because you did not know what to do. You have wasted
most of your time trying to find a way to get along with your teammates and make your boss happy.
Once in a while you considered whether Sarah’s attitudes towards you could be considered sexual
harassment. You thought you could get a good settlement out of it, possibly a check containing six
figures. On the other hand, you laughed at the idea and thought it was just admiration which was
normal in your case, because you were a very good System Analyst, after all. You always had fans.
Days followed weeks. Weeks followed months. Your project still has no focus, no strategy, and more
importantly no working application. In an attempt to save the project and the company along with it,
Sarah suggests a management course at the Sabanci University (IT564) and you got enrolled.
After a couple of months, you begin to learn what you can do. You even had an opportunity to work
on a project of your own about [put your project’s business domain here]. Lost in thoughts, you go
back to the office thinking that you can change the way things are and finally, focus on the product
itself… come up with a great game. A game everybody in the firm would be proud of…
While thinking about a strategy, your phone rings and the guy on the other end says: “We have heard
about your accomplishments, would you be interested in working with us as the new CEO?”
10. March 23rd

QUESTION
You are supposed to come up with a great product, but you cannot do it. What are you going to do to
solve this problem?
Think about your abilities and values. Then, take one of the pills listed below and tell me what you
are going to do.
Remember what Morpheus said to Neo:
"You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take
the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
(The Matrix, The Wachowski Brothers, 1999).
When answering the question, tell me how you are going to use the methods listed in the toolbox.
Also, include any relevant assumptions, plans and strategies.
Casual conversations about what you’ll do will not be considered as valid answers.
The Red Pill
How are you going to come up with…
- a capable team,
- a company which is regarded as a cultural beacon,
- a product admired by the customers and takes the game industry to a whole different level,
defines what games will be like in the next twenty years?
The Blue Pill
You can always take the other road, blame everybody except yourself and say that it’s impossible.
This road has its own goals. Take a look around. Most of the people are on that road. Some love it,
others learned to love it. A couple of them keep complaining about it, but they are on the same road
nonetheless.
And, “yes”, you can still answer my question even if you take the blue pill ;o)

APPENDIX
The Game, David Fincher, 1997.
Nicholas Van Orton, a wealthy investment banker, is estranged from both his ex-wife and his only
sibling, his younger brother, Conrad. He remains haunted from having seen his father commit suicide
on the latter's 48th birthday. For Nicholas' own 48th birthday, Conrad presents Nicholas with an
unusual gift—a voucher for a "game" offered by a company called Consumer Recreation Services
(CRS). Conrad promises that it will change his brother's life.
Nicholas has doubts about CRS, but he meets club members who enjoyed the game. He goes to CRS's
offices to apply and is irritated by the lengthy and time-consuming series of psychological and
physical examinations required. He is later informed that his application has been rejected. Soon
Nicholas begins to believe that his business, reputation, finances, and safety are at risk. He
encounters a waitress, Christine, who appears to have been endangered by the game. Nicholas
contacts the police to investigate CRS, but they find the offices abandoned.
Eventually, Conrad appears to Nicholas and apologizes, claiming that he, too, has come under attack
by CRS. With no one else to turn to, Nicholas finds Christine's home. He soon discovers that she is a
CRS employee and that her apartment was staged. Christine tells Nicholas that they are being
watched. Nicholas attacks a camera, and armed CRS troops begin to swarm the house and fire upon
them. Nicholas and Christine are forced to flee. Christine tells Nicholas that CRS has drained his
financial accounts by using the psychological tests to guess his passwords. In a panic, Nicholas calls
his bank and gives a verification code to check his account balance—zero. Just as he begins to trust
Christine, he realizes she has drugged him. As he loses consciousness, she admits that she is actually
part of the scam and that he made a fatal mistake by giving up his verification code.
Nicholas wakes up to find himself entombed alive in a cemetery in Mexico. He sells his gold watch to
escape. He returns to find his mansion foreclosed and most of his possessions removed. He retrieves a
hidden gun and seeks the aid of his ex-wife. While talking with her and apologizing for his neglect and
mistreatment, he discovers that Jim Feingold, the CRS employee who had conducted his psychological
tests, is an actor working in television advertisements. Nicholas locates Feingold and forces him to
find CRS's real office, whereupon he takes Christine hostage. Nicholas demands to be taken to the
leader of CRS. Attacked by CRS troops, Nicholas takes Christine to the roof and bars the door behind
them. The CRS troops begin cutting through the door. Christine realizes that Nicholas's gun is not a
prop and is terrified. She frantically tells Nicholas that the conspiracy is a hoax, a fiction that is just
part of the game, that his finances are intact, and that his family and friends are waiting on the other
side of the door. He refuses to believe her. The door bursts open, and Nicholas shoots the first person
to emerge—his brother Conrad, bearing an open bottle of champagne. Distraught, Nicholas leaps off
the roof, just as did his late father.
Nicholas's life passes before his eyes as he falls. He smashes through a glass roof and lands on a giant
air bag. Emergency medical technicians carefully remove him, and he finds himself in a ballroom full
of his friends, family, and every figure involved in his Game; it had been just a game all along. Conrad
is alive and well, and explains that he initiated the game to get his brother to embrace life and not to
end up like their father. Nicholas breaks into tears, relaxes, and begins to enjoy the party once his
shock has dissipated. Later, Nicholas splits the bill for the game with Conrad (and is surprised to
discover how expensive it all was). When he sees that Christine has left the party, he follows her
outside to her cab. He asks her to dinner, and she offers to share a coffee with him before her flight
takes her to her next game assignment in Australia.
