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.

The idea for X was born on Thursday, 4 September 1997 during a

of X in over 54 franchise countries and regions. Gimme X.
8. Trashy or funny? You decide.
X uploaded a video titled “Y best rap by X rap king” way back in 2015
which suddenly came into spotlight in 2017 and had garnered millions of
views before being taken down by Youtube on copyright grounds(it’s back
again BTW). The video was widely criticized by several media houses,
most notably by Quint Neon, whose journalist Deeksha Sharma received
a barrage of death threats, rape threats and other abuses by fans of Y.
Give me X and Y.

Dr.Bindeshwar Pathak, sociologist and social reformer, envisioned the need for
setting up a museum of ______ in the sprawling campus of his central office at
Mahavir Enclave, on Palam-Dabri Road, New Delhi, India. The idea engaged his
mind for long, eventually leading him to make a hectic worldwide search for the

17. #kolzstyle
A Hindi feature film set in the lower depths of Bombay's C-grade film industry, X
follows the devastating story of two brothers who produce sleazy horror films in
the mid-1980s. The project started as a documentary on C-grade sex cinema in
the lower depths of Bollywood which flourished between the 1970s and the early
2000s when it was eventually made redundant by anonymous internet
pornography. During work on the documentary, the director discovered that none
of the subjects were willing to appear on camera as shooting pornography in India
constitutes a serious criminal offense. The project was later reworked into a
feature film script and set in the past so as to protect the identities of individual
subjects and their actual stories.
20. Trigger Warning Explicit Content

main character, Keisuke Iwasaki , is a handsome and very muscular high
school teacher by day and dispenses a surreal brand of "justice" at night
as the _______ under the business "_______ Services", which is co-run
with his uncle, a former surgeon. The business's motto is: "Righting
wrongs through penetration." When engaged in his night trade, the
_______ wears a black leather ski mask shaped like the head of a penis,
but no trousers or underwear. He uses special techniques such as "M69
Screwdriver" or "Infinite Loop" to apply more pain to the victim. Despite
regretting some of the contracts he fulfills, he always completes the task.
23. In Tongues
When Vox asked YouTube commenters to select a topic for a future
video, X fans organized on Reddit to storm the comments with requests to
do a video about “the lore of X.” YouTuber X lives up to his name — he
creates comedy that ignores taboos in order to shock (and delight) his
loyal fans. The nom de upload of musician George Miller, X is one of his
many characters that blow past the boundaries of good taste. As detailed
in carefully edited YouTube videos and scrupulously updated Wikia sites,
Miller’s videos have a mythology that spans multiple videos and
characters, and it even has its own vocabulary. ID X.
26. “You’re tearing me apart, Lisa!”
X is a 2003 American independent drama film written, directed, produced
by and starring Tommy Wiseau, and co-starring Greg Sestero and Juliette
Danielle.
Y, Sestero's memoir of the making of X, was co-written with Tom Bissell

award nominations. Gimme X and Y
31. K
__________ is a 2007 Indian neo-noir psychological thriller film written
and directed by Anurag Kashyap and co-produced by Vishal Bhardwaj.

King. According to Kashyap, the film failed because, it was considered
much ahead of its time, courtesy of its’ dark and unusual storyline
comprising with elements of surrealism, fantasy, dream, reality, horror and
dark humour which left critics and the cinema-goers baffled.

ethics, benevolence, philanthropy, social life, and customs.
53. Led Zeppelin performs in India
English rock band Led Zeppelin, one of the most influential bands in the history
of music, visited Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1972. During this trip, they also
recorded versions of their songs at EMI Recording Studios. ID any one of the
two songs about to be played.
58. X was a nickname for New York City that became popular in
the nineteenth century; Washington Irving had first attached it
to New York in the November 11, 1807 edition of his
Salmagundi, a periodical which lampooned New York culture
and politics. Irving took the name from the village of X,
Nottinghamshire, England, a place inhabited, according to
folklore, by fools. The village's name derives from Old English
words for “goat” and “home”, literally “homestead where
goats are kept”. What is X?
63. Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Parliament-Funkadelic
(as Flea was dressed like Bootsy Collins), David Bowie (as Flea was
dressed like Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust persona), Slade, Sex Pistols, The
Misfits' Glenn Danzig, Poison, Mötley Crüe, Nirvana and the Red Hot Chili
Peppers themselves
72. Cover art for the album ‘Awaken My Love’ by the
show’s creator Donald Glover released on 2
December 2016
73. Keanu approves
X is a science fiction novel by American writer Philip K. Dick, published in
1977. The semi-autobiographical story is set in a dystopian Orange
County, California, in the then-future of June 1994, and includes an
extensive portrayal of drug culture and drug use (both recreational and
abusive). The novel is one of Dick's best-known works and served as the
basis for a 2006 film of the same name, directed by Richard Linklater.
76. X was born in French Algeria to a Pied-
Noir family. His views contributed to the
rise of the philosophy known as
absurdism. He is often considered to be
a/an Y (follower of a certain philosophical
tradition). However, in a 1945 interview,
X rejected this association, “No, I am not
a/an Y. Sartre and I are always surprised
to see our names linked.” Who is X?
79. Created in multiples, the Brillo
Boxes were often shown in large
stacks, effectively turning whatever
gallery they were in into a high-
cultural facsimile of a warehouse.
Their shape and serial production
was perhaps a nod to—or parody
of—the then-nascent Minimalist
style. But the real point of Brillo
Box is how its close approximation
to the real thing subverts artistic
conventions, by implying that
there’s no real difference between
manufactured goods and work
from an artist’s studio. Who
created this sculpture?
83. In this episode, Bojack goes to an underwater city. The
painting in the background is a spoof of George
Bellows’s oil painting ‘Stag at Sharkey’s’ which depicts
two boxers fighting. What other work does the painting in
the background depict?
86. In this frame, “people” are getting their fingernails, horns
etc. manicured. There is a painting in the background.
What famous artwork does it reference?
98. The person interviewing Bojack is a famous TV
personality. This style of interview references his
show “The Week”. He was recently in news. Who is
he?
108. Effort justification is a person’s tendency to attribute a value
to an outcome based on the effort they put into it rather than
the objective value of it. An example of this is Homestuck, an
adventure that is a collection of webcomics by MS Paint
Adventures. It has over 8000 pages and over 800,000 words.
Due to its complexity and the effort required to get through it,
it has been compared to this literary work by PBS’s Idea
Channel in an episode called “Is Homestuck the ________ of
the Internet?” The book in question is famous for having been
discussed more than being read. Which book?
132. The Alexamenos graffito (also known as
graffito blasfemo) is a piece of Roman
graffiti scratched in plaster on the wall of a
room near the Palantine Hill in Rome (the
wall has now been relocated). The
inscription is in Greek and mocks
Alexamenos for something that he is doing.
It is estimated to have been made c. 200.
What is it the earliest known pictorial
representation of?
135. What’s in a name?
Band names inspired by MELA
136. We’re stardust
The band took their name from the title of Aldous Huxley's book X of Perception,
itself derived from a line in William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: "If X
of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is: infinite".
142. Quizmaster’s pet question
The band X is named after the character “Dr. X” in
the 1968 French-Italian science fiction film
Barbarella. Played by scantily clad Jane Fonda,
Barbarella is sent on a mission to find the doctor,
causing his name to be repeated dozens of times.
148. Not the bluemen
Ecstasy: Three Tales of ______ _________ is a collection of the
following three novellas by Irvine Welsh
1. Lorraine Goes To Livingston
2. Fortune's Always Hiding
3. The Undefeated
The name of the band was suggested by bass guitarist who was
working in a Barnes & Noble when he was struck by the title of the
book.
Gimme the name of the band.
The band name is three words (the last two words being the blank)
151. Nothing really matters, really
The X movement began in 1919 when Walter Gropius founded a school with a vision of
bridging the gap between art and industry by combining crafts and fine arts. Prior to the X
movement, fine arts such as architecture and design were held in higher esteem than
craftsmanship (i.e., painting, woodworking, etc.), but Gropius asserted that all crafts,
including art, architecture and geometric design, could be brought together and mass-
produced. Gropius argued that architecture and design should reflect the new period in
history (post World War I), and adapt to the era of the machine. The X is also the name of a
famous post punk Brit band.
157. This is an ex-parrot!
X was a music collective led by Ivo Watts-Russell, founder of the British record
label 4AD. The band's recorded output featured a large rotating cast of supporting
artists, many of whom were otherwise associated with 4AD, including members of
Cocteau Twins, Colourbox, and Dead Can Dance. The project became known for
its gothic, dream pop sound.
The name of this band is inspired by the following Monty Python sketch which in
turn borrows a line from Hamlet.
171. & the oscar didn’t go to
The nomination of Nina Rota's music for this 1972 film was retracted because
some of it had been used in a 1958 Italian movie
183. Painters
Mont Sainte-Victoire dominates not only the landscape of Aix en Provence, but
also the landscape paintings of this native son & Post-Impressionist, who devoted
more than 30 canvases to it. It also appears in the background of many of his
other works, as well
