Ancient Greek masks were used in theatrical performances to enhance actors' voices and allow for easy switching of characters. During the Middle Ages, masks were used in religious plays to portray demons and the seven deadly sins. In the Renaissance, masked characters became popular in Commedia dell'Arte, improvised Italian comedies. Masks have taken many forms throughout history for purposes of drama, religion, and masquerade, and have been made from a variety of natural and man-made materials to represent humans, animals, and mythical figures.
Ladies Portraits from a non-ladies man: Women in the Poetry of C.P. Cavafy Martha Vassiliadi
The title of this essay seems as a fake dilemma or almost sacrilege, since it is well known how Cavafy did not love the "weak" sex, how he rejected the post romantic voluptuousness of his time and how he wasn’t inspired by passions and mythical separations. But how and from what poetic passage Cavafy slips, even "imperceptibly" in the ontological cosmology of Women ? How and by what virtue women gain a place in Cavafy’s ritual of historical construction, how do they fit in this highly erotic gay scenery?

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.

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.

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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. Ancient Greece masks were used in the drama and theatrical performances.
They were made with such expressions to highlight the character they were
playing. The use of the masks would be made to throw the voice enhancing
the sound of the voice. The masks were also useful so that the minimal
amount of speakers there were could switch masks thus becoming a whole
different character.
ANCIENT GREECE
3. During the Middle Ages, the masks wee used in the mystical plays of the 12th
to the 16th century. The plays would be dramatizing parts of the old and new
testament. They would be used to portray the abominations and creatures
such as devils. Demons and dragons. This would be used to personify the
seven deadly sins which was brought to life by the use of the masks.
MIDDLE AGES
4. „The 15th-century Renaissance in Italy witnessed the rise of a theatrical
phenomenon that spread rapidly to France, to Germany, and to England,
where it maintained its popularity into the 18th century. Comedies improvised
from scenarios based upon the domestic dramas of the ancient Roman comic
playwrights “Plautus” (254 -184 BC) and Terence (186/185-159 BC) and upon
situations drawn from anonymous ancient Roman mimes flourished under the
title of Commedia dell' Arte. Adopting the Roman stock figures and situations
to their own usage's, the players of the Commedia were usually masked.
Excellent pictorial records of both commedia costumes and masks exist; some
sketches show the characters of “Arlecchino” and “Colombina” wearing black
masks covering merely the eyes, from which the later masquerade mask is
certainly a development‟

RENAISSANCE
5. „Masks have been designed in innumerable varieties, from the simplest of
crude "False Faces" held by a handle to complete head coverings with
ingenious movable parts and hidden faces. Among the substances utilized are
woods, metals, shells, fibbers, ivory, clay, horn, stone, feathers, leather, furs,
paper, cloth, and cornhusks. With few exceptions, the morphological elements
of the mask derive from natural forms. Masks with human features are
classified as anthropomorphic and those with animal characteristics as
theriomorphic. Masks usually represent supernatural beings, ancestors, and
fanciful or imagined figures, and can also be portraits‟
