Ozone exists naturally in two layers of the atmosphere. Ground-level ozone is a pollutant but the ozone layer in the stratosphere protects the Earth from harmful UV rays. The ozone layer was depleted by CFCs but this was addressed by the Montreal Protocol which phased out CFC production, allowing the ozone layer to recover over time. Continued monitoring is needed to understand impacts of ozone depletion and climate change.

Ozone is a naturally occurring molecule made up of three oxygen atoms. It has the chemical formula O3.
The word ‘ozone’ is derived from the Greek word óζειν which means “to smell”. Its strong smell allows scientists to detect it in low amounts.
Ozone is found in different levels of the earth’s atmosphere.
About 90% of ozone in the atmosphere is concentrated between 15 and 30 kilometres above the earth's surface (stratospheric ozone).
At this level it provides a protective shield from the sun, we think of this as good ozone.
It is also found at ground level in lower concentrations (tropospheric ozone).
Here ozone is a pollutant that is a key part of smog over cities and we think of it as bad ozone.
Atmospheric data demonstrates that ozone depleting substances are destroying ozone in the stratosphere and thinning the earth’s ozone layer.
Ozone depleting substances are chemicals that include -
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs); nontoxic, nonflammable chemicals containing atoms of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine.
halons, group of organohalogen compounds containing bromine and fluorine and one or two carbons.
carbon tetrachloride (CCl4),
methyl chloroform (CH3CCl3),
Hydro-bromo-fluoro-carbons (HBFCs),
Hydro-chloro-fluoro-carbons (HCFCs),
methyl bromide (CH3Br) and
bromochloromethane (CH2BrCl).
They deplete the ozone layer by releasing chlorine and bromine atoms into the stratosphere, which destroy ozone molecules.
These and other ozone depleting substances also contribute, to varying extents, to global warming
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.

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.
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.
2. Ozone is…
Ozone is a form of oxygen with 3 oxygen atoms (O3).
Ozone is highly corrosive and toxic and is used as a disinfectant.
It can be found in small concentrations in the troposphere where it is considered a pollutant.
Ozone at ground level is a pollutant.
Ozone layer at stratosphere serves an important function
3. • The existence of ozone (O3 : 3 oxygen atoms) is a
natural process in the atmosphere. The earth's
atmosphere is composed of several layers.
• We live in the "Troposphere" where most of the
weather occurs; such as rain, snow and clouds.
Above the troposphere is the "Stratosphere"; an
important region in which effects such as the
Ozone Hole and Global Warming originate.
Supersonic jet airliners such as Concorde fly in the
lower stratosphere whereas subsonic commercial
airliners are usually in the troposphere. The narrow
region between these two parts of the atmosphere is
called the “Tropopause”. Ozone forms a layer in
the stratosphere, thinnest in the tropics (around the
equator) and denser towards the poles.
•It's ironic that at ground level, ozone is a health
hazard - it is a major constituent of photochemical
smog. However, in the stratosphere we could not
survive without it. Up in the stratosphere it absorbs
some of the potentially harmful ultra-violet (UV)
radiation from the sun which can cause skin cancer
and damage vegetation, among other things.
How is Ozone Formed
4. WHAT IS OZONE LAYER
The ozone layer refers to a region of Earth's stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun's
ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It contains high concentrations of ozone (O3) relative to other
parts of the atmosphere. The ozone layer contains less than 10 parts per million of ozone
The ozone layer absorbs 97–99% of the Sun's medium-frequency ultraviolet light (from
about 200 nm to 315 nm wavelength), which otherwise would potentially damage
exposed life forms near the surface
The ozone layer was discovered in 1913 by the French physicists Charles Fabry and
Henri Buisson.
5. CAUSES OF OZONE DEPLETION
The Ozone Hole is caused by chemicals called CFCs,
short for chlorofluorocarbons. CFCs escape into the
atmosphere from refrigeration and propellant devices
and processes, and they are so stable they last for
decades. This long life allows some CFCs to
eventually reach the stratosphere. The chemicals that
make up CFCs, mainly chlorine and fluorine, float
around the stratosphere, breaking up ozone
molecules.
One molecule of CFC can destroy more than
100,000 molecules of stratospheric ozone.
Natural Causes include Volcanic eruptions, as they
release carbon monoxide and decrease nitrogen oxides in
the atmosphere., Methane from rotting vegetation etc.
8. WHAT IS THE OZONE HOLE?
• The ozone hole is not technically a
“hole” where no ozone is present, but
is actually a region of depleted ozone
in the stratosphere over the Antarctic
that happens at the beginning of
Southern Hemisphere spring (August-
October).
• The average concentration of ozone
in the atmosphere is about 300
Dobson Units; any area where the
concentration drops below 220
Dobson Units is considered part of
the ozone hole.
9. WHO DISCOVERED THE OZONE HOLE?
• The Antarctic Ozone Hole
was discovered in 1985 by
British scientists Joseph
Farman, Brian Gardiner, and
Jonathan Shanklin of the
British Antarctic Survey.
• The Ozone Hole has
steadily grown in size (up to
27 million sq. km.) and
length of existence (from
August through early
December) over the past two
decades.
11. EFFECTS OF OZONE LAYER DEPLETION
Ozone layer absorbs most of the harmful UV-B radiation; The
depletion of the ozone layer leads to higher levels of ultraviolet
radiation reaching Earth's surface. More of ultraviolet radiation
means:
more melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers
more eye cataracts
weakened immune systems
reduced plant yields
damage to ocean eco-ecosystems
Large amounts of UV radiation can kill plankton found in oceans,
which absorbs carbon dioxide, thus increasing the rate of global
warming.
14. ALTERNATIVES TO CFCS
The use of propane and 2-methyl propane
as refrigerant coolants
Although their use would reduce ozone
depletion, both hydrocarbons are flammable
and are greenhouse gases
Fluorocarbons are not toxic or flammable
and are stable to uv reactions, although they
are greenhouse gases
Hydro chlorofluorocarbons are more stable
than CFCs, but they are only a temporary
solution since the C-Cl bond is still present
Hydro fluorocarbons are the best alternative
because there is no chlorine atom present
15. MONTREAL PROTOCOL
•The Montreal Protocol is an international
agreement adopted in 1987 to control the
production and consumption of specific
man-made chemicals that destroy the
ozone layer, the earth’s protective shield.
•The Montreal Protocol says that the
production and consumption of
compounds that deplete ozone in the
stratosphere--chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride, and
methyl chloroform--are to be phased out
by 2030.
•Montreal Protocol adopted in 1987
191 countries have signed the Montreal
Protocol including all the
CARIFORUM countries
•India signed the Montreal protocol on
19th June, 1992
17. Avoid using and buying products that might be made with CFCs
For example: use a reusable cup instead of a plastic foam one.
Have home and car air conditioners checked for leaks
Use air conditioners only if needed for health or safety reasons.
When serving your car, take it to a station that can recycle the air
conditioning coolant
Make sure that old refrigerators and air conditioners are disposed of
safely by giving them to a recycling yard. Take care not to damage the
cooling circuit which contains the ODS.
HOW CAN WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE
18. September 16 was designated by the United Nations General Assembly as the
International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer.
This designation was made on December 19, 1994, in commemoration of the date, in
1987, on which nations signed the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the
Ozone Layer.
International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone
Layer
19. FUTURE EVOLUTION OF OZONE
Remains unclear
Current models are unable to reproduce ozone variability
accurately
Rates of future increases in greenhouse gases are not yet
established
Interactions between ozone depletion and climate change
not yet fully understood
Continued monitoring of ozone and ozone-depleting
substances is essential
Ozone layer recovery expected by 2050
Hinges on the complete elimination of atmospheric ozone-
depleting substances
Replacements for HCFCs, methyl bromide, and halons are still
being sought, and studies of the new compounds must continue
(U.N.E..P. Progress Report, 2003)
20. EFFORTS NEED TO BE CONTINUED
Create reliable models
To gain a better understanding of the effects ozone
depletion has on organisms living within different
ecosystems
Enforcement of Montreal Protocol
To reduce concentrations of chemicals responsible for
ozone depletion
Monitoring chemicals being emitted
Gain a better overall understanding on just how ozone
depletion is affecting our planet
