The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through the Isthmus of Panama and allows ships to travel between the oceans without having to go around South America. The canal consists of artificial lakes and locks that raise and lower ships between sea level and Gatun Lake. It took 34 years to build, from 1880 to 1914, and is now managed by the Panama Canal Authority. The canal is 77.1 km long and can accommodate ships up to 200 feet wide and 80 feet in draft. It generates billions in toll revenue annually and handles thousands of transits by container ships, tankers, bulk carriers and cruise ships each year. The canal is currently undergoing a multi-billion dollar expansion project to allow transit of larger post

Panama Canal Expansion & its Huge Significance for US Trade, Ports, Railways,...Shyam Kumar
The Panama Canal Expansion is due to be completed by the end of 2014 / start of 2015. It will massively affect trade between Asia & the US, given the accessibility larger ships will then have directly to US Gulf and East Coast ports. The expansion will allow Post Panamax ships that can carry up to 12,500 TEU (20 foot containers) to transit the Panama Canal, the current limit for Panamax ships is 4,800. This is basically a 160% increase in the capacity of container ships that can transit the Panama Canal. This also applies to bulk ships used to transit ores, grains & coal, as well as to LNG and Oil tankers. It is going to open up significant traffic for East Coast & Gulf ports. In this presentation the impacts of the Panama Canal on the US, its' ports, supply chains are looked at. As well as importantly the impact it could have for investors in various assets.
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.

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.

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. INTRODUCTION
The building of the Panama Canal took 34 years: 1880 to 1914.
Panama Canal Authority (ACP): The ACP is the autonomous agency of the Government of Panama in
charge of managing, operating and maintaining the Panama Canal. The operation of the ACP is based
on its organic law and the regulations approved by its Board of Directors.
The Ship Canal stretches to 77.1-kilometre (48 miles): that connects the Atlantic Ocean (via
the Caribbean Sea) to the Pacific Ocean.
The width of the canal is more than 70 meters(200 feet); the draft of the canal is more than 20-23
meters (65-80 feet ).
3. LAYOUT
The canal consists of artificial lakes, several improved and artificial channels, and three sets of locks.
4. If the ship enters through the Pacific Ocean side, it travels 13.2 km up the channel to
the Miraflores locks.
The two-stage Miraflores lock system, including the approach wall, is 1.7 km.
The artificial Miraflores Lake is the next stage, 1.7 km long.
The single-stage Pedro Miguel lock, which is 1.4 km long.
After the lock, the ship should move forward a distance of 45.3 km passing through
the Gatun Lake towards the Gatun locks.
The Gatun locks, a three-stage flight of locks 1.9 km.
A 3.2 km channel forms the approach to the locks from the Atlantic side.
Limón Bay (Bahía Limón), a large natural harbour, provides anchorage for some ships
awaiting passage and runs up-to 8.7 km to the outer breakwater.
Thus the total length of the canal is 77.1 km (47.9 miles).
8. CAPACITY
The Panama Canal set a mark in its history as it reached a new tonnage record of 333.7 million
Panama Canal tons (PC/UMS) during fiscal year 2012 which concluded on September 30. This
achievement highlights the value of Panama and its significance as a link in the chain of
global trade.
11. TRANSIT BY VESSEL TYPE
3,253 Transits
113.7 Million PCUMS Tons
Registered 11.5 Million TEU capacity but 5.3 Million TEU were transported

Revenue totalled B/136.4 Million
225 Transits
310,991 Billed Passengers
Revenue totalled B/46.1 Million
revenue totalled B/400.72 Million
14. CANAL EXPANSION
The Panama Canal expansion project would largely decrease
the instances of bottlenecks & lower the average transit times.
The proposed plan for widening and deepening and
excavating is supposed to increase the capacity to
42 vessels per day, which could even be extended to
51 vessels per day by 2020.
The Canal expansion ensures a robust future for
Panama’s maritime route, boosts the national economy
and enhances safety and efficiency.
15. Colombian coal and Venezuelan oil may become more attractive to buyers in China.
The U.S. Gulf may source oil from Ecuador (instead of Nigeria) and liquid natural gas (LNG) from
Peru.
