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.

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 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.

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.
3. When did life begin?
What is it that we have to obtain to produce
a living cell?
A living cell is capable of acquiring all the resources
it needs from its surroundings and reproducing
itself.
The first cell had to be free-living; that is, it could
not depend on other cells for its survival because
other cells did not exist
4. When did life begin?
Stromatolites (3.5 bill. Yr)
Rocks with distinctive layer
structure
Layers of microbes and
sediment
Top layer uses
photosynthesis
Lower layers use top layer’s
by products
5. Microfossils dating to
3.5 billion years ago
Difficult to distinguish
from mineral
structures
Analysis shows that
some structures
contain organic
carbon
-found in at least 3 sites
6. Evidence in metamorphic
rocks that life existed 3.85
billions years ago
Low C12/C13 fraction in
rock layers suggests life
Biological processes prefer
C12 to C13
7. When did life begin?
Rocks before ~4 billion years old are rare and hard
to find
Time of heavy bombardment ended about 3.8-4.0
billion years ago
Last devastating impact between 4.2-3.9 bill. yrs. ago
Evidence suggests life as long as 3.85 billion years
ago and definitely at 3.5 billion years ago
Life rose and dominated the planet between 100-
500 million years
8. Living Fossils
DNA used as living fossil
The more alike the DNA sequence between species,
the more recent their divergence and extinction of
their common ancestor
9. Bacteria and Archaea : genetic material NOT separated
from rest of cell
Eukarya: DNA separated from rest of cell by membrane
Extremophiles (live near deep-sea vents or in hot springs)
closest to root of tree of life
10. Where did life begin?
Land is unlikely
No O2, no ozone: UV destroys molecular bonds
Shallow ponds
Once favored, full of organic material
When evaporated, organic chemical concentration
increases making it easier to combine complex
molecules leading to life
Current experiments indicate lack of chemical energy
sufficient to support life
Deep-sea vents/hot springs
DNA evidence suggests that early organisms survived
in conditions similar to deep-sea vents
Plenty of chemical energy available
11. How did life begin?
Simplest organisms today and those dated 3.5 billion
years ago are remarkable advanced
What are the natural chemical processes that could
have led to life?
Assumptions
Life began under chemical conditions of early Earth
Life did not migrate to Earth
12. Organic Chemistry on Early Earth
In 1920’s, scientists hypothesized that the chemicals
in the early atmosphere, fueled by sunlight, would
spontaneously create organic molecules
Tested by Miller-Urey experiment 1950’s
13. Miller-Urey Experiment
First flask partially filled with water and heated to
produce water vapor (sea)
Water vapor was moved to a second flask where
methane and ammonia vapor was added
(atmosphere)
Electric sparks (lightening) in second flask was
energy source for chemical reactions
Below second flask, water vapor cooled (rain) and
recycled to first flask (sea)
Result: turned brown with amino acids and other
complex organic molecules
14.
15. Sources of Organic Molecules
Chemical reactions in atmosphere
Lab experiments show this is likely
Organic material brought by impacts
Chemical analysis of comets and carbonaceous chondrites
show that they have organic molecules
Chemical reactions near deep-sea vents
Heat from undersea volcano can fuel chemical reactions
between water and minerals
16. Transition from chemistry to biology
Organic molecules are building blocks of life
Low probability of forming life even if repeated
several times
Intermediate steps of high probability are
necessary
17. Search for Self-Replicating Molecule
Work backward from organisms that live today
DNA is double-stranded = complicated
RNA obvious candidate, more simple than DNA
Hereditary information
Can serve as template for replication
Can act as an enzymes
18. RNA World Hypothesis
Problem: RNA and DNA require enzymes to
replicate
In 1980’s determined that RNA might catalyze their
own replication instead of other enzymes
Early Earth was an RNA-world
19. RNA World Hypothesis
On Early Earth, short strands of RNA-like
molecules were produced spontaneously partially
or completely
RNA-like molecules that could replicate faster
with less errors soon dominated population
Copying errors introduced mutations, ensuring
the production of many variations of successful
molecules
Allowed molecular evolution to continue
RNA-world gave way to DNA-world
DNA less prone to copying errors
DNA more flexible hereditary material
RNA kept some of its original functions
20. Assembling Complex Organic Molecules
Organic soup was too dilute to favor the creation of
complex organic molecules
Lab experiment with possible solution: When hot
sand, clay or rock is placed in dilute organic
solution, complex molecules self-assemble
Organic molecules stick to surface of clay
Increases density and likelihood of reactions
Strands of RNA up to 100 bases have been produced this
way
21. Early Cell-like Structures
Advantages to
enclosing enzymes
with RNA molecules
Close proximity
increases rate of
reactions between
them
Isolate contents from
outside world
22. Panspermia?
Panspermia = life originated elsewhere and migrated
to Earth
Life began in rock, then kicked off the planet by an
impact
Support: organic material is everywhere, and some
bacteria can withstand large amounts of radiation
and go dormant under low atmospheric conditions
23. Panspermia
Martian meteorites
Both have possible
fossil evidence of life on
Mars
Evidence of microfossil
nanobacteria
ALH1008
25. Early Evolution and Rise of O2
First organisms had simple metabolism
Atmosphere was O2 free, must have been anaerobic
Probably chemoheterotrophs
Obtained nutrients from organic material
Obtained nutrients from inorganic material
Modern archaea appear to be close to the root of the tree of life
Obtaining energy from chemical reactions involving hydrogen,
sulfur and iron compounds (all abundant on early Earth)
26. Early Evolution
Natural selection probably resulted in rapid
diversification
Modern DNA has enzymes that reduce the rate of
mutations
RNA is not so lucky, more likely to have copying
errors
Higher mutation rate in early evolution than now
27. Photosynthesis
Around 3.5 billion years ago
Most important new metabolic process evolved
gradually
Organisms that lived close to ocean surface
probably developed means of absorbing sunlight
(UV in particular)
Once absorbed, developed method of turning it
into energy
Modern organisms of purple sulfur bacteria and green
sulfur bacteria much like early photosynthetic microbes,
use H2S instead of H2O for photosynthesis
28. Photosynthesis
Using water for photosynthesis developed later, perhaps
3.5 billion years ago
First appearing in cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)
By product of O2, released into atmosphere
Changed the world!
29. Rise of O2
Highly reactive
Rocks 2-3 bill. Yr old called banded iron
formations, show atmosphere had <1% of current
amount of O2
Rock evidence suggests that O2 amounts in
atmosphere began to rise about 2.0 bill. Yr ago
Clear evidence of O2 near current levels appears
only 200 million yr ago
Find charcoal (fossil fuel)
Indicates enough O2 in atmosphere for fires to burn
Rise of O2 would have created a crisis for life
31. Where did Earth’s Water come from?
The origin of our planet’s water is an intricate story
stretching back some 13.8 billion years to the Big Bang
After the Big Bang, the energy that sparked the outward
swelling of space transmuted into a hot, uniform bath of
particles
During the next three minutes, these primordial constituents
bumped and jostled, combined and recombined, yielding the
first atomic nuclei
Which gives accurate predictions for the cosmic abundances
of the simplest nuclei—a lot of hydrogen, less helium and
trace amounts of lithium.
what about the other essential ingredient, oxygen?
When STARS go supernova the explosions spew these
elements into space. Oxygen and hydrogen commingle to
make H2O.
32. The abundance of water on Earth is an enigma.
As the planet formed it became so hot all its
surface water would have evaporated – prompting
theories our oceans were slowly filled by collisions
with icy comets and asteroids after it cooled. Now,
a new study by planetary scientist Lydia Hallis of
the University of Glasgow and colleagues,
published in Science in November, suggests that
some of the early Earth’s water was locked away in
molten rock and later resurfaced.
MCQ’s
33. More and more research suggests that asteroids delivered at least some of Earth's
water.
34. Who Brought Water To Earth?
Comets, trans-Neptunian objects
or water-rich meteoroids (protoplanets)
from the outer reaches of the asteroid belt
colliding with Earth may have brought
water to the world's oceans
MCQ’s
35. Meteorite EET 83309 contains tiny fragments of opal, a material that requires water to
form.
36. Early Eukaryotes
Fossil evidence dates to 2.1 bill. Yr ago
Dates to when O2 rising in atmosphere
DNA evidence suggests that prokaryotes and
eukaryotes separated from common ancestor
much earlier
O2 played a key role in eukaryote evolution
Cells can produce energy more efficiently using aerobic
metabolism than anaerobic metabolism
Adaptations of aerobic organisms could develop
adaptations that required more energy that would be
available for anaerobic organisms
37. The Cambrian Explosion
Animal branch of the tree of life
Different classifications based on body plan
All known body plans made appearance in fossil
record in a time span of 40 million years
<1% of Earth’s age
Animal diversity began 545 mill. Yr ago
38. Colonization of Land
Life flourished where liquid water exist
Life on land was more complicated
Had to develop means of collecting solar energy above ground
and nutrients below
Life in shallow ponds or edges of lakes
Water evaporates
Natural selection favored that which could withstand periods
of drought
39. Colonization of Land
DNA evidence suggests that plants evolved from
an algae
It took only 75 mill. Yrs for animals to follow
plants out of water
41. Mass Extinctions
Possible Causes
Impacts
Impact sites found for K-T boundary
Suspected for Permian extinction 245 mill yr ago
Active volcanism
Climate change
External influence for copying errors
Increase in solar particles or radiation hitting surface
Local supernova
