Ancient Rome began as villages along the Tiber River in Italy that united around 750 BC to form the city of Rome. Rome transitioned from a monarchy to a republic to an empire, with emperors ruling from 27 BC to 476 AD. The Roman Republic had three branches of government - the executive branch led by two consuls, the powerful legislative Senate, and judicial branch with elected judges. Initially only patricians could hold public office, but plebeians gained equality in 287 BC. The Roman Empire expanded greatly under ambitious generals until it fell due to overexpansion, corruption, civil wars, and economic troubles.

The Beginnings of Ancient Rome About 750 B.C., the villages joined together to form a city called Rome. It was ruled by kings for more than 200 years. Eventually, Rome became a republic, and the people elected representatives. These representatives formed the Senate, Rome's most powerful body of government

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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

6. Patricians & Plebeians
• In the beginning most of
the people elected to the
Senate were patricians.
• Patricians controlled the
law since they were the
only citizens allowed to
be judges.
• Plebeians had the right
to vote, but could not hold
public office until 287
B.C, when they gained
equality with patricians.
7. Formation of Roman Republic
• For more than 200 years, kings ruled
Rome.
• In 509 B.C. Rome became a republic.
• The Roman Senate was an assembly of
elected representatives. It was the single
most powerful ruling body of the Roman
Republic.
8. Roman Expansion
• Under the leadership of ambitious
generals, Rome’s highly trained soldiers
took over most of the land surrounding the
Mediterranean.
• The ancient Romans called the
Mediterranean mare nostrum, meaning
“our sea”.
10. The End of the Roman Republic
• A successful Roman general and
famous speaker, Julius Caesar, was
a governor of the territory of Gaul and
managed to take control of many nearby
territories.
• Fearing him the Roman Senate ordered
him to resign…but he had other ideas.
• Caesar fought for control and won,
becoming the dictator of the Roman world,
ending the Roman Republic.
11. The Roman Empire
• Less than a year after gaining power a
group of angered Senators stabbed
Caesar to death on the floor of the Roman
Senate. (March 15, 44 B.C.)
• This caused a civil war that lasted several
years.
• In 27 B.C., Caesar’s adopted son,
Octavian was named the first emperor of
Rome.
12. The Roman Empire
• An empire is a nation or group
of territories ruled by a single powerful
leader, or emperor.
• Emperor Octavian took the name
Augustus.
• Augustus ruled the Roman Empire for
more than 40 years, known as the
Augustan Age.
13. The Augustan Age
• During the rule of Augustus the Roman
empire continued to expand.
• Augustus kept soldiers along all the
borders to keep peace in the Roman
world.
• During this time trade increased with olive
oil, wine, pottery, marble, and grain being
shipped all across the Mediterranean. This
was also a time of great Roman literature.
14. The Fall of the Roman Empire
• First a monarchy,
then a republic, then
an empire – all roads
led to Rome for over
1200 years.
• Rome had some
wonderful emperors.
Rome also suffered
from a series of bad,
corrupt and just plain
crazy emperors.
15. The Fall of the Roman Empire
• The empire was too large
to govern effectively.
• The army was not what it
used to be. There was
corruption in the military -
dishonest generals and
non-Roman soldiers.
• Civil wars broke out
between different political
groups.
• Emperors were often
selected by violence, or by
birth, so the head of
government was not
always a capable leader.
• The increased use of
slaves put many Romans
out of work
• The rich became lazy and
showed little interest in trying
to solve Rome problems.
• The poor were overtaxed and
overworked. They were very
unhappy.
• Prices increased, trade
decreased.
• The population was shrinking
due to starvation and
disease. That made it difficult
to manage farms and
government effectively.
• The eastern half of the
Roman Empire received a
new name – the Byzantine
Empire. It lasted for another
1000 years!
