This document discusses guidelines for developing mountain resorts, including:
- The development process aims to balance the physical capacity of the site with economic needs. Key factors are the site's attractiveness, access, environmental limitations, and costs.
- Desirable sites have characteristics like favorable climate, terrain, snow conditions, and proximity to markets. Environmental and construction constraints must also be considered.
- General design principles include conforming development to the physical site, matching ski difficulty levels to visitor abilities, and prioritizing pedestrian access over vehicles.
- Examples of successful mountain resorts demonstrate strategies for achieving an optimal balance between visitor experience and economic viability.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.
2. OBJECTIVES
To identify the key elements of development process that help
maintain a balance between the physical capacity of a site
and economic needs of the developer.
Define the major factors affecting the attractiveness of a site
Explain the role of general design principles in site planning
and maintaining community identity
3. A resort is a self-contained commercial establishment that tries to
provide most of a vacationer's wants, such as food, drink, lodging,
sports, entertainment, and shopping, on the premises. The term
resort may be used for a hotel property that provides an array of
amenities, typically including entertainment and recreational
activities.
A mountain resort is a place to holiday or vacation located in a
mountainous area. The term includes ski resorts, where winter
sports, including skiing, snowboarding, ice climbing and ice skating
are practiced, as well as places where summer activities such as
mountain biking, mountain boarding, and hiking are pursued. In
hot climates hill and mountain resorts are visited for the cooler
temperatures at higher elevations.
5. THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Balance : the conceptual design philosophy involves a balance- a
physical balance, first, between the ski area and the market, and,
second an economic balance between investment and earning power.
1. Physical balance : The size of the ski area must be large enough to
meet the needs of market without being so large that the area is
underutilized. The resort should have an idea about the skiers
accommodated, both from the safety aspect as well as enjoyment. It
also indicate the supporting facilities needed.
2. Economic balance: The quantity and quality of physical plant must be
sufficient enough to generate enough revenue for investors to get a
decent return on their investment. It depends on the number of skiers,
revenue per skier visit, and the length of the season.

8. TYPES OF SKI AREAS
Type I resorts: These are international destinations featuring
excellent mountains and a wide variety of lodging and real
estate. e.g.: Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia, Canada
Type II resorts: these resorts are not as well known in the
marketplace as type I resorts. They offer fewer activities and
appeal to a more limited market such as ski clubs and groups.
Eg: Powderhorn in Colorado
Type III resorts: These resorts offer high quality skiing but little
real estate development. Many operate only on weekends.
Small, often marginal developments: These resorts operate only
on weekends. E.g.: a typical club hill in Ontario has no snow
making, is less than a 300foot drop, has a T-bar lift and a chalet
without a liquor license
9. DESIRABLE SITES
The development of mountain sites is particularly a
challenging endeavor.
The overall physical feasibility of the site is a function
of four factors
1. Scope and attractiveness of the site
2. Access and proximity to markets
3. Environmental limitations
4. Unusual site-specific costs
10. Attractiveness
First factor : climate, environment
People look for a desirable mix of climate, snow
conditions, exposure, snow retention, and forest cover
No extreme temperatures
Infrequent wind problems
Dry snow with a minimum of 250 inches
Forest cover adds to the aesthetics and provides
protection from the wind
Terrain should provide a variety of grades and views.
11. Developers must be aware of the following
1. Steep and unstable slopes and rockfall zones.
2. Heavy snowfall
3. Avalanches
4. Microclimate conditions such as wind hazards
5. Watersheds and wetlands
6. Flooding and unstable water flows
7. Air quality problems due to inversion (brown cloud effect
caused by cold air trapping warm air close to ground)
8. Sun orientation and shadows
9. Impact of seasonal changes on the resort’s activity patterns
12. Second factor : skier density
The skier carrying capacity is noted in skier density per acre of terrain
and takes into account that just under half of the skiers are on the ski
runs at any one time. Acceptable density depends on the market
being served.
Density also depends on the snow cover, slope and trail design, and
slope maintenance. High densities are accepted when snow fall and
snow retention is higher.
Third factor: lack of space at base
this is especially true for parking areas.
The density of houses lessen the farther away they are from base.
Fourth factor: potential length of season
season vary across different regions
13. Access to market
As the distance from major market increases, the scope and
attractiveness of the resort must increase to attract visitors.
The time they would travel to the destination depends upon
whether they are on a day, a weekend or a vacation trip.
Environmental limitations
Balancing the economics of the visitor number with the
aesthetics of the outdoor experience is important for the long-
term profitability of the resort.
The resort have to be sensitive to
1. Minimising impact during construction
2. Preserving wildlife patterns
3. Using storage ponds or reservoirs to minimise impact of
snow making on streams and rivers
4. Providing employees with public transportation and guest
with shuttle service to help improve air quality
5. Developing recycling and waste management programmes
6. Conserving energy
14. Site costs
The cost of land must be balanced against the revenue an area
can generate.
In West, where over three-quaters of all ski areas are on public
land, an annual lease payment is made
In other regions, land cost is a major item in determining the
economic viability of an area.
Group Delta a major ski resort consultant, has pioneered
a method of combining low snow making cost and maximum
attractiveness to the visitors. One or more trails, 300 to 400 feet
width are made with islands in the middle to enhance the
aesthetics by breaking up the monotony of empty trail.
15. GENERAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
Mountain resort communities must have goals intended to
meet the expectations of guest while emphasising what is
special about the local area.
This link between people and the natural environment should
aim at creating livable year-around communities of people who
have strong emotional bonds to the area.
Physical, aesthetic and social forces help deteermine the
design of a community. The concepts that must be taken into
account include:
1. Subordination of the automobile
2. Human scale
3. Pedestrian amenities
4. Physical and visual links between community and its natural
resourse base
5. Provision of the needs of permanent population
16. Certain design principles provide an umbrella for the specifics of site
planning
To avoid land use conflicts, it is important that the design of the ski area
conform to the existing physical site. This makes for an environmentally
sound project. In addition, by minimising changes to the terrain, costs are
significantly reduced
A given ski area supports fewer and fewer skiers as their ability level
increases. More experienced skiers are more expensive to take care as
they demand more vertical slope, ski faster and demand top of mountain
where development and construction works are expensive
Novices and intermediate skiers bring more money than advanced skiers
Access road design should be based on expected peak traffic where
weather is not a factor.
Newly groomed slopes attract skiers one or two classes below the design
difficulty of the slope. On the other hand, slopes with many moguls or icy
conditions increase the slope difficulty
The ability of skiers approximates a bell curve. The ideal ski area matches
the difficulty of its slopes to this bell curve
23. CONCLUSION
In developing a mountain resort care must be taken to strike balance
between the physical capacity of the site to accommodate visitors and
the economic needs of investor.
Desirable sites have specific characteristics that reduce construction
and maintenance cost.
General design principles, when adhered to, make for a better
mountain resort.
By adding night skiing resort can accommodate more number of
visitors and make it economically viable for the developers.
