Julia Plotts became interested in landscape architecture after realizing her passion for nature during her upbringing in Japan and time studying at Cornell University. She was drawn to the beauty of Cornell's campus and rediscovered her love of nature. Plotts realized there is a need to bring nature's voice to people and reconnect them spiritually to the earth. She is especially interested in urban landscape design to create natural spaces in cities and help make cities more sustainable. Studying at UC Davis has further fueled her passion for landscape architecture, which allows her to think creatively and analytically while merging her Western concepts with Japanese beliefs.

18 Saksala Art Radius Catalogue Sculpture Symposium 2005Marja de Jong
Ā
In 2005 FOAM/ArtRadius and Saksala ArtRadius organized a sculpture symposium based on the theme reductive abstraction. During the last two decades it seems that art has been attempting to give itself more content by accumulation. Combinations of superfluous materials and styles have lead to a redundant art. But this apparent development is only an aspect of art as a whole. What is presented as contemporary or even avant-garde is only that which has temporarily in the spotlights of the museums and galleries. The marketing of art by too many fashion seeking art historians and art promoters is continuously aimed at creating new trends. This would not be so detrimental, if only they would realize that different art forms have to exist next to each other in order to stimulate and nourish each other. Letting the artists determine their development themselves seems to be too much to ask.

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 ādistorted thinkingā.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Ā
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 Caesarās dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireās 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 Empireās 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 wasnāt 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. P E R S O N A L S T A T E M E N T As young girl I often found myself enamored by the natural landscape around me. I grew up believing that every tree, shrub, animal, forest or lake had a spirit within it. And that whenever a human being trespassed on its well being this spirit would take revenge. Thus, nature was to not simply to be appreciated for its beauty but to be revered and feared for its power. This belief, I later discovered, was something unique to my Shinto Japanese upbringing. In contrast, I noticed that Western ideas about human progress did not seem to make room for such spiritual connections to nature. I felt that there was much more of an emphasis on mans ability to pacify nature and a need for man to protect nature, thus, emphasizing its fragility. Realizing this fragility I felt obligated to take a part in protecting nature. The summer after graduating high school I interned at the California Wilderness Coalition, a non-profit organization that aimed to preserve the natural landscapes of California. My job was mostly about sending letters asking people to donate to various programs to help the wilderness. However, working in the high rise-building surrounded by the very urban, almost treeless, downtown Oakland I began to lose sight of what I was working to protect; the wilderness of California seemed distant and unrelated to me. With the same mindset and the same detachment from nature, my upbringing, and my interests I majored in mechanical engineering at Cornell University, hoping to enter the field of nanotechnology where I could take some part in the progress of mankind. However, once in college I quickly realized that I was in the wrong major. Even though I liked math and science, the overly competitive atmosphere at Cornell made me lose sight of these interests and I could not see myself working on the small scale projects we learned about in class. Mostly, there was something missing in the major that I had chosen that I felt a great need for: art and nature. Instead, what I found fascinating at Cornell were the crisscrossed pathways in the Arts Quad that were arranged in such a way that no one deviated from them or the magnificent gorges all over campus that I walked by regularly but was always amazed by. What had drawn me to that far away school was not the school itself, or the engineering program, but the profound beauty of the campus. This was when I rediscovered my love for nature and discovered my interest in landscape architecture. Since then, I have realized that in this chaotic urbanizing world there is a need for the simplicity of nature and a renewed spiritual connection to the earth. Thus, it is the landscape architectās duty to bring natureās voice to the people to allow that spiritual reconnection, wherever they may be, in the country or in the city. I am especially interested in urban landscape design because I want to create attractive natural spaces for people who live in the cities. Such attractive cities, with a mix of urban and natural areas, will bring people to the cities freeing valuable natural and agricultural land. In this way I want to be a part of the process of creating a more sustainable future. Coming to UC Davis and studying here has made me increasingly passionate about landscape architecture. This major which requires me to think analytically, conceptually, and creatively has me completely engaged. Moreover, landscape architecture is a channel through which I can merge my Western concepts with my Japanese beliefs. Although nature is fragile and susceptible to human control, perhaps, how much nature has affected us and how much it will affect us in the future is more profound. Thus, we are more than responsible to protect it. After all, we are nature; we are very much a part of this delicate living framework that must be in balance.

6. This is a design for a meditative garden centered around the theme of focus. The landscape is an arrangement of dark cherry trees and light European birches. As the visitor approaches the end of the board walk he/she will be surrounded by dark trees but will only see light trees in front and light pouring in between two hills. Thus, allowing the viewer to focus on the void. In spring (top left), when the cherry blossom is in bloom, this landscape will be as much about distraction as it is about focus.
