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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
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.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
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.

4. Casual clothing, nothing too characterised but more subtle and loose.
This is clearly linking to the genre of rap music due to Snoop Doggs
baggy top and Pharrell Williams’ top and jeans.
Sections of direct contact with the camera – this connects
the artist with the audience. It also makes the audience
remember the artists face which creates more promotion.
Show clear display of emotions- if the song is
angry the artist is likely to present this through
their gestures and facial expressions.
Props regarding costume tend to be used – This is to show the
audience their success, due to a lot of the genre being built upon
the money and success of the artist.
How it relates to the genre conventions
5. Follow the American dream lifestyle- the American lifestyle is about gaining success and the
expensive car and the wad of money demonstrates this.
Drugs violence and females- there are many women featured in this music video and
there are various links to drugs in the song.
6. Relationship between visual and lyrics
‘I got the rolly on my arm’ – this links to the lyrics due to
the lyrics suggesting there is a watch on his arm, which
the visuals clearly show.
‘million dollar boat’ – There is a big boat which
coats millions in the background of the video
which links to the ‘million dollar boat’ lyrics.
‘I'm pouring Chandon’ – Chandon is wine and as
you can see from the screenshot there is
someone pouring liquid in a wine glass
suggesting it is Chandon.
‘I got a living room full of fine dime brizzles’ – The lyrics
are stating there is a room full of good looking females;
this is demonstrated in the video from the screenshot.
7. Close ups of the artist
This makes the
artist
recognisable
and builds up an
image so when
the audience
sees the face of
the artist they
are more likely
to watch it due
to them liking
the song that
they were in last
time.
8. Soul Conventions
• Have narratives
• Quite monotone or dull colours
• Editing is slow pace
• There are no special effects
• Peaceful theme
10. How it relates to the genre conventions
Have narratives – The story in this video is of a little girl growing up and she has a child
and the cycle starts all over again.
Quite monotone or dull colours – the screenshot shows that the colours were quite
muted and weren't bright and bold colours, which links to the conventions.
11. There are no special effects – throughout the video it was all natural setting and if special effects were put it in it would
make it less effective. This therefore links to the ‘no special effect’ convention.
Peaceful theme – There were a few moments were this video broke the conventions;
however the overall theme was peaceful and happy.
12. Relationship between visual and lyrics
‘She walked to watch you’ – This is of a girl who walks
in a room and stand while watches her family.
‘There she waits looking for a savior’ – She is watching her parents
argue when all she wants is for them to get along or some
attention.
‘She don't stop’ – The character has been
through a lot but she keeps her head up and
doesn't’t give up on anything or anyone.
‘She closed her eyes’ – as the artist sings these lyrics
she keeps her eyes shut which shows the link
between the lyrics to the visuals.
13. Close ups of the artist
By doing this the artist gets more promotion and publicity, this creates a hype around
the video, therefore making people listen to the music
14. Indie Music Conventions
• Low budget settings
• Close up shots of the artist
• Simple editing techniques
• Slow movement
• Narrative
• Two characters
16. How it relates to the genre conventions
Low budget settings – The setting is in a house,
which is easy to film on a low budget due to
most people having a house.
Slow movement – as the characters move it
is very slow and gentle which links to the
music and video conventions.
Narrative – The video has a narrative
of a couple falling out of love
Two characters – The storyline contains
to characters, a male and a female.
17. Relationship between visual and lyrics
‘Darkness falls’ – The room goes
from light to no light suggesting
that the darkness has fallen
‘Spiraling down’ – when these lyrics are
sang the camera pans down and so does
the characters body, indicating falling
down
18. Close up shots of the artist
This makes the artist recognisable and builds
up an image so when the audience sees the
face of the artist they are more likely to watch
it due to them liking the song that they were in
last time.
