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.

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.

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”.

Planning of reservoir
1. PLANNING OF RESERVOIR
Water is one of the resources that cannot be generated
but only be preserved.
In future water scarcity will be one of the biggest challenges
in the World. The only way to conserve this resource is
through construction of Dams/Reservoirs.
Dams have been built for at least 5000 years and their functions
have evolved with the developing needs of the society.
Most likely, the Earliest Dams were built to store water for
Domestic Purpose and Agriculture Water Supply. With the
onset of Industrial Era, Hydropower became a major reason to
built dams.Choosing a suitable site is a crucial phase in Reservoir
Construction.
A well-selected site will not only give the optimum benefits, but
its Aesthetic Value may also create a recreational area surrounding
the reservoir. Conversely, a poorly selected site could cause
detrimental effects.
2. The investigations that are usually conducted
for reservoir planning
INVESTIGATIONS FOR RESERVOIR
Engineering investigations /surveys
Geological investigations
Hydrologic investigations
3. Generally Engineering Surveys are conducted for the dam, the
reservoir and their associated orcs. During this investigation
topographic survey of the area is carried out and the contour
plan prepared.
1) Engineering investigations /
surveys
The horizontal control is usually provided by
triangulation survey and vertical control precise
levelling..
For the reservoir, the contour plan is
Generally prepared to a scale of 1:15,000
with contour intervals between 2 to 3 m. The
area - elevation and storage-elevation curves
are prepared for different elevations up to
an elevation of 3 to 5 m higher than the
anticipated maximum water level
4. •In all the major Civil Engineering projects, geological advice
is considered very essential.
•It costs very little but relieves the Engineer from the worry
of possible presence of fissure rocks or other geological
faults which may cost too much when they come to notice
later.
2) Geological investigations
(i)Reservoir basin should be watertight
without having any embedded fissured
formations.
(ii) Position of ground water table.
(iii) Type of soil and its suitability in regard
to foundation of the dam.
(iv) Type and depth of surface soils.
(v) Position of quarry sites for materials
required for the construction of dam etc.
5. • It is very important aspect of reservoir planning.
• To study the runoff pattern and to estimate yield.
• To determine the maximum discharge at the site.
• Capacity of reservoir, its potential for irrigation,
power generation etc.
• All depend upon the availability of water
from the reservoir. Capacity of spillway,
storage capacity, height of dam, etc.
• All depend upon the amount of available
water.
• Hence rainfall records, catchment
characteristics, spread of catchment,
climatic characteristics etc.
3) Hydrological investigations
6. SELECTION OF RESERVOIR SITE
A good site for a reservoir should have the following
characteristics :
Large storage capacity: The topography of the proposed
site should be such that the reservoir has a large capacity
for storing the water
Suitable site for the dam: A suitable site for the proposed
dam should be available on the downstream side of the
reservoir, with very good foundation, narrow opening in the
valley to provide minimum length of the dam and also the
cost of construction should be minimum.
Watertightness of the reservoir : Geology at the proposed
reservoir site should be such that the entire reservoir basin
is watertight. They should have Granite, Gneiss, Schists,
Slates, or Shales etc.
7. Good hydrological conditions: The hydrological conditions
of the river at the reservoir should give high yield.
Evaporation, transpiration, and percolation losses should be
minimum
Deep reservoir : The proposed site should be such that a
deep reservoir is formed after the dam construction. The
reason being evaporation losses would be minimum, in
addition to low cost of land acquisition and less weed
growth.
Minimum silt inflow: The life of reservoir is
defined by the quantity of silt inflow, which
means that, if the silt inflow is large, the life
would be less. Hence, it is necessary to select
the reservoir site at such a place, where the silt
inflow is minimum.
No objectionable minerals: The proposed site
should be free from soluble and objectionable
salts, which may pollute the reservoir.i)
