Event Sourcing, Domain Driven Design, and Command Query Responsibility Segregation – we hear all of these technologies used together frequently, but how do they actually work together? How do you manage complex co-ordination in a CQRS system?
In this talk, we will discuss a real world example of DDD with ES and CQRS written in F# - a functional first language on the .NET Framework. We’ll take a deep dive into the F# algebraic type system that constructs the domain model. Also, the explanation of the abstract notion of a DDD aggregate root compared to the CQRS implementation of an aggregate root. Finishing with how sagas and triggers facilitate poly-aggregate communication.

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.

6. All of Mercy’s databases and journal collections are listed on this
page, categorized by topic or program.
Keep scrolling down the page to see all
the topics available. Keep these in mind
for other classes!
7. What are Databases?
Databases are organized, searchable collections of
particular items, such as journal articles
Databases vary in the topics they cover and the
they provide. Some are specifically geared toward a single
subject (e.g. psychology) while others are multidisciplinary
(i.e. they cover a wide variety of subjects)
Some databases provide access to the complete text of
articles, while others only contain information about the
articles.
8. If you are off-
campus, you will
be prompted to
log-in with your
MercyConnect/
Blackboard ID. If
you need
assistance with
your ID please
contact the Help
Desk at 914-674-
7526.
9. Academic Search Premier is a multi-disciplinary database
providing full text for more than 4,600 journals, including full
text for nearly 3,900 peer-reviewed titles.
When a researcher writes an article, he/she submit
it to a journal to be published. The article then
undergoes the peer review process, i.e. the journal
has experts in the field read and evaluate the
article, and advise the journal as to whether the
research is sound and fit to publish.
10. Begin by checking off the “Full Text” & “Scholarly (Peer-Reviewed)
Journals” boxes.
11. Now, think about what keywords will help you find the articles you need. Try
different combinations of keywords until you hit on the results you want.
Perhaps you’re interested in the effect divorce has on teenagers’ self-esteem. It can
be useful to brainstorm synonyms and related concept before you begin your
search.
KEYWORDS SYNONYMS AND RELATED CONCEPTS
divorce marital separation, custody
teenagers adolescents, young adults, children, youth
self-esteem self-worth, confidence
Now you have some different searching options. You may discover that your
topic is written about using language you hadn’t considered. As you discover
new terminology, review and refine your search.
12. After brainstorming keywords, plug them into the search boxes at the top of the page. Notice
that each box is connected by AND. This means that all of the keywords must appear in the
article. By inserting OR between the words within a search box, your results will include articles
that use either word. (AND versus OR can be confusing – the next slide may help)
13. AND & OR are called Boolean Operators. They are used to
connect search terms so that you target exactly what you want.
Use AND to limit your search and
get fewer but more specific
results.
If you search for Cats AND Dogs,
you will only get articles that talk
about BOTH cats AND dogs. You
will not see results that ONLY talk
about cats, or ONLY talk about
dogs.
Use OR to expand your search
and get more results.
If you search for Cats OR Dogs, you
will get articles that talk about cats,
articles that talk about dogs, and
articles that talk about both.
So, OR means
you get
MORE!
14. So, let’s build a search for this assignment using AND & OR.
Step 1: Type a single keyword in each box. These keywords are all connected with AND so the
database understands that we only wants articles that include all of these words.
When I hit SEARCH I get 17 results. That seems manageable to look through! But I want to make
sure I’m not missing any really good articles that might just use different language. So that leads
us to…
Step 2: Return to the search screen, and add SYNONYMS or RELATED WORDS to the search
boxes and connect them with OR. The database now understands that we can be flexible about
how the articles describe the three components of our search.
Now I get 37 results! Still a manageable number to browse through, but now I have more
options to choose from because I’ve expanded the search using OR.
15. Let’s take a look at a result that looks promising. Click on PDF
Full Text to see the whole article.
16. This article provides an ABSTRACT. An abstract is a
brief summary of a research article and generally
includes the purpose of the work, methods used, the
results, and the conclusions.
The name of the journal, the publication year, issue
and pages are listed at the top of the page. You’ll
need these to create a citation!
The authors are listed below the title – you’ll
need this information for the citation too!
17. The icons to the right of the article
allow you to do various things, but the
most useful functions are:
• Print the article
• Email the article
• Cite the article
• Get the Persistent Link to the article
18. Emailing articles to yourself is a handy way to keep track or your research materials. When
you click the Email icon, you will see this dropdown. Click the “Citation Format” box and
select the type of citation needed. The database will then email you the pdf of the article
along with a pre-made citation.
19. When you click on the Cite icon, you will see this
dropdown. You may then copy and paste the
pre-made citation into your paper.
Always check for mistakes in the pre-made
citations! As an automated process, mistakes can
slip through.
And make sure you adjust the formatting (italics,
hanging indent, etc.) when you copy and paste
the citation – the formatting is often lost during
this process.
20. When you click on the Permalink icon, you will see a URL appear at the top of the
article. This URL is specific to the article, and allows you to revisit the article quickly
and easily.
21. If you have any questions or difficulty locating library resources
please email refq@mercy.edu. The Mercy librarians check this
email account during regular library hours, and are happy to assist
you with this assignment or any other!
Good luck!
