Building The European Digital Library - An Insider’s Point of View Olaf Janssen
In December 2004 Google announced its plans to digitise and publish millions of books from 5 prestigious Anglo-American academic libraries by the year 2015. Initiated by French fears that Google's initiative could create a bias towards Anglo-American language and culture, Europe quickly united to mobilise funds for the digitisation, preservation and accessibility of European cultural heritage and the creation of a European Digital Library, including 6M digital works from libraries, muse-ums and archives by 2010.
Today The European Library (TEL) is a multilingual portal offering integrated access to the tens of millions of resources of Europe's national libraries. It offers free federated searching and delivers digital objects - some free, some priced.
The EU stressed that the European Digital Library should not be constructed from scratch, but build on existing initia-tives such as TEL, because TEL has a long history of successfully implementing and using some of the vital ingredients for the European Digital Library. These include A) internal & external collaboration and cooperative organisational networks, B) a technological platform based on creating, maintaining and conforming to common standards in i) data harvesting and ac-cess protocols, ii) metadata and iii) collection descriptions and C) multilingual access.
The reader will 1) learn what it takes to build a pan-European Digital Library, 2) find out about the history and future of this project and C) discover that this a win-win-win project: for its users, for its builders, and for world knowledge.

What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.
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.

7. • To build classifiers for textual and visual similarity of related
newspaper passages;
• To create a networked ontology of different genres, forms, and
textual elements that emerged during the nineteenth century;
• To model and visualise textual migration and viral culture;
• To model and visualise conceptual migration and translation of
texts across regional, national, and linguistic boundaries;
• To analyze the sensitivity and generality of results; release public
collections
Aims
8. 1. Which stories spread between nations and how quickly?
2. Which texts were translated and resonated across languages?
3. How did textual copying (reprinting) operate internationally compared to
conceptual copying (ideas spread)?
4. How did the migration of texts facilitate the circulation of knowledge,
ideas, and concepts, and how were these ideas transformed as they
moved from one Atlantic context to another?
5. How did geopolitical realities (e.g. economic integration, technology,
migration, geopolitical power) influence the directionality of these
transnational exchanges?
6. How does reporting in immigrant and ethnic communities differ from
reporting in surrounding host countries?
7. Does the national organization of digitized newspaper archives
artificially foreclose globally-oriented research questions and outcomes?
