Tamzin experimented with creating a background scene for a ghost game by drawing a haunted house silhouette in black and yellow pixels, but had difficulty with the windows. Tamzin then found a better house template and colored it in blocks, adding a moon, clouds, pumpkin, and gravestone. Tamzin also traced a ghost and bush template, experimenting with leaf shading. Next, Tamzin drew a basic walking character but simplified it to side views with different walking poses to animate. Finally, Tamzin animated the character walking by duplicating and flipping frames with the character moving right. From these experiments, Tamzin learned to use templates and a solid color style, learned character posing and animation, and will apply these lessons
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.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
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”.
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.

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. Process
I experimented with creating a background scene. I created a 120x80
pixel document in Photoshop and then inserted a template image of
a haunted house so that I could draw over it as I’m not confident
drawing free hand.
I tried to turn the house into a silhouette by using the pencil tool set
to 1px and began colouring the house pixels in black and the
windows in yellow, but when it came to the windows, I lost the shape
and couldn’t get them to look right.
I realised that this was the wrong image to work with as it looked odd
because the house was an unusual shape. Also because the house
and windows were crooked, it looked odd in a smaller pixel scale.
3. Process
Using the document I’d already
created, I found another house to
add in as a template and began my
second experiment. I was going to
follow the same process of creating
a silhouette house but I realised I
liked the details in this house, so
instead, I decided to colour it in
block colours.
I then created a moon using the
ellipse tool, and drew the clouds free
hand over the top.
I also created the pumpkin and
gravestone by drawing them, pixel
by pixel using the pencil tool.
Finally, I created the ghost and bush,
using template images to trace over.
I tried experimenting with shading
on the leaves of the bush, as this is
something I feel I need to improve.
4. Process
I created a character to go in my ghost game experiment. I haven’t animated a
character walking before, so I felt that this would be extremely beneficial to try out.
I created a basic character(1) by drawing using the pencil tool, but I realised this
angle of pose would be difficult for me to recreate in different walking stances.
I then drew a much simpler side stance(2) This gave me the ability to draw the two
different walking poses(3 & 4) I drew the legs and arms at angles and shaded the
back leg and arm to give definition.

5. Process
For my final experiment, I made an animation of my character walking as this was
something I felt I needed to practice.
I opened up the timeline window which opened at the bottom of Photoshop. I clicked
duplicate selected frames (1) which created a second image frame. In this frame I
switched the ghost to a flipped version. I made the stood character invisible and made the
Right walk pose visible and moved it two spaces to the right, to make it look like ti was
walking towards the ghost. I set each frame to o.5seconds so that the clip wasn’t too fast.
I then repeated this process with the left and right walk poses and moved the ghost along
each frame. I then clicked File/Export/Render Video and clicked Render to save it as a
video file.

6. Reflection
• What elements of your experiments will you
include in your final product?
– I feel because I am not very good at drawing, the use of template images to trace
over will really help me. I also really like the cartoon solid colour look, so this will
be the graphics style that I will use in my game.
– Also placing all of the images and creating the background first, helped me to
visualise what size the character needed to be so that it was to scale. I will repeat
the process in this order when I create my final design.
– I experimented on drawing a character in different poses and created an animation
of the character walking. This was something I was worried about creating for my
final project and I feel now that I have a much better understanding of how to pose
the character and how to make it look as if it is walking. This will help me greatly in
my real design.
