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.

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.
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”.
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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Portrait of jason
1. A look into
Sex and Race
in the 20th
Century
PORTRAIT OF JASON
Intended audience: Classmates
2. Shirley Clarke’s documentary Portrait of Jason appears to be
an intimate look into one man’s life. But upon closer
inspection, one needs to consider the lens through which this
film was made to determine the authenticity of Jason as a
person versus a character.
While we unpack this idea, it is important to also consider the
ways in which race and sex can influence performance.
CRITICAL POINT
4. For the purpose of this presentation, sex will not be
synonymous with gender or sexuality. Sex will simply be
defined as ‘the act of.’
LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX…
“Sex is the thing I’m trying
to forget” – Jason Holliday
5. Who is Jason Holliday?
Questions to consider: Is Jason truly baring his soul on screen, or is
he merely performing an act?
How does the lens though which Jason is filmed affect our perception of
him?
MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN
6. “Jason Holliday was created in San Francisco.
And believe me, San Francisco is a place to be
created…”
WHO IS THE BEHIND THE CURTAIN?
In the opening scene, we are first introduced to Jason
Holliday. Jason pauses, and then reintroduces himself as
Aaron Payne.
In this first introduction, we become aware that Jason is
merely a vessel through which Aaron Payne performs.
7. Richard Brody, of The New Yorker, writes in his article
“’Portrait of Jason’ and the Life of Movies,” that “Holliday’s
exuberant, floridly expressive personality and extravagantly
uninhibited self-revelation was also an act of self-creation; it’s
as if he created, on screen, in real time, a new identity from
the scattered and broken pieces of his life.”
MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN
9. “I know I am a great actor and I got a chance to prove it… I
wondered if people would think I was a homosexual, bisexual
or heterosexual. I wondered if I was great enough to convince
them I was all three… I was aware film-wise of what I was
doing. I never got too far beyond my image. But what is my
image? Other than a well-dressed, well-liked swinging cat? I
also play many roles in life. I was also hip enough to do it on
the screen –dig it?” –Jason Holliday (Village Voice, 1967)
HOW DO WE SEE RACE & SEX?
10. Shirley Clarke, an affluent heterosexual white woman, films
Jason.
Some could argue that Clarke exploited Jason’s story for her own
personal gain. Towards the end of the film, Clarke and her boyfriend
provoke the drunk and stoned Jason who is at this point highly
emotional.
CONSIDER THE LENS THROUGH WHICH
WE MEET JASON
12. “I was fascinated by the idea of having Jason explain the story
of his life before a camera…The result, I’m convinced is a
portrait of a guy who is both a genius and a bore. Although
Jason says he really hasn’t had any fun as a ‘hustler’ conning
people, he appears to have had the last laugh.” –Shirley
Clarke (New York Times)
HOW DO WE SEE RACE & SEX?
13. While I thoroughly enjoyed Jason’s entertaining stories about
his life, I had trouble appreciating the film in general. I
couldn’t look past the way in which Jason was presented on
screen, simply as entertainment. It is clear that this man led
a rich life full of joy and pain. To have that displayed on the
screen so carelessly, and to do so by supplying him with
drinks in order to get him drunk and truthful, makes me feel
that Jason was taken advantage of.
