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.

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.

9. Balance of Razor
WHAT IS MENT BY THE BALANCEOF A RAZOR ?
The balance of a razor refers to the relative weight and length of the
blade as compared with that of the handle. A razor is properly
balanced when the weight of the blade is equal to that of the handle.
Why is proper balance of the razor important ?
Proper balance of razor means greater ease in shaving
Of what materials are razor handles made ?
Razor handles are made of bone, hard rubber or plastics.
What conditions will wrap a plastic or hard rubber
handle; how can this condition be corrected ?
Atmospheric conditions may sometimes wrap the handle so that the
edge of the razor will strike it on closing. Moist or dry heat may be
used to straighten out the handle.
To what degree of tightness should the razor
blade be riveted to the handle ?
The razor blade should not be so tightly riveted to the handle that it
cannot be moved with ease, nor should it be so loosely riveted that it
moves by its own weight.
10. Grind of Razor
What is meant by the grind of a razor ?
The grind of razor represents the shape of the blade after it has been
ground over a stone.
1.)Name three common types of razor grinds;
2.)Which type do most barbers prefer ?
1. The full concave, half concave and wedge grind. 2.) The full
concave grind.
Describe the cross-sectional view of the 1) full
concave grind;
2) Half concave grind; 3) wedge grind.
1) The full concave grind is generally prefered by most barbers. It
presents a hollow appearance when observed between the back
and edge of the razor, being slightly thicker between the hollow
part and the extreme edge.
2) The half concave grind has less hollowness than the full concave.
There will not be more thickness between the concave and the
extreme edge of the razor.
3) The wedge grind has no hollowness or concavity, both sides of
the blade forming a sharp angle at the extreme edge of the razor
11. TEMPERING OF RAZOR
What is meant by tempering of a
razor ?
Tempering the razor involves a special heat
treatment given by the manufacturer.
Which qualities are imparted to
razors by proper tempering ?
Properly tempered razors have the correct
degree of hardness necessary for a good
cutting edge.
Name three types of razor
tempers. Which type do most
barber prefer ?
Hard, soft and medium tempers. The medium
temper is preferred by most barbers.
12. STRAIGHT RAZORS
The straight razor is an important implement used in
shaving the face . Only the highest quality razor
should be selected for the barber’s use.
Why should the barber’s kit include several high
grade razors ?
Should one razor become unfit for use , an
immediate replacement will be available. Besides,
razors receive less wear and better care when
they are changed regularly.
What are two best guides for selecting good
razors?
1. Consult with reliable company or salesman who
can recommend the type of razor best suited to
the barber’s work.
2. Consult with more experienced barber’s as to
which razors they have found best for shaving.
13. SIZES AND STYLES OF
RAZORS
How is the size of a razor measured ?
It is measured by the length and width of the razor.
Which four razor widths are available.
Which one do most barbers prefer?
Widths come in 4/8, 5/8, 6/8, and 7/8 of an inch. The
5/8 of an inch is perferred by most barbers.
Describe the style of a razor ?
The style of a razor refers to its shape and design. A
modern style razor has a straight, parallel back and
edge, a round heel, a square point and a flat or slightly
round handle.
Why should the barber round off the
sharp point of a razor ?
To prevent scratching the skin in shaving.
14. FINISHES OF RAZORS
What is meant by the finish of a
razor ? Name three types of razor
finishes.
The finish of a razor refers to the appearance of its
surface. There are three types of finishes: a) plain steel,
b) crocus (polished steel) and metal-plated (nickel or
silver)
Which type of razor finish do most barber
prefer? Why?
Crocus (polished steel) finish. It usually last longer and
does not show any signs of rusting.
Why are metal-plated razors undesirable?
They wear off quickly and often hide a poor quality of
steel.
What kind of care preserves the life of
the razor?
Razors will maintain their cutting quality if care is taken
to prevent corrosion of the extremely fine edge. After
use, they should be stropped and a little castor oil
applied over the cutting edge. Be careful not to drop the
razor as the blade may be damaged.
16. What is a hone ?
It is a solid block composed of abrasive
material and used for sharpening
cutting implements.
Name and give examples of two
types of hones. How is each used
1) Natural hones such as the water hone and
the Belgian hone, derived from natural
rock deposits. These hones are usually used
wet with either water or lather.
2) Synthetic hones such as the Swaty hone and
the carborundum hone are manufactured
products. These hones can be used dry, or
a lather can be spread over them before
use.
17. Hones
1.)Describe the
water hone.
2.)How is its
cutting surface
developed ?
Water hones is a
natural hone usually
imported from
Germany. It is a slow
cutting hone having a
grey or darkish yellow
appearance.
Accompanying the
water hone is a small
piece of slate of the
same texture, called a
rubber. As the rubber
is applied over the
water hone moistened
with water, a proper
cutting surface is
developed. Care must
be taken when using
the rubber on the
water hone not to
work a bevel into the
hone.
18. Hones• Describe the
Belgian hone
• How is it used?
Belgian hone is a natural
hone cut out of rock
formation found in
Belgium. It is a slow
cutting hone but a little
faster than the water hone.
The upper surface of the
hone is light yellow and
the bottom portion is dark
red.
Lather or water is
generally applied to the
hone while being used.
19. What is the
advantage of the
synthetic hone
Synthetic hones are faster cutting hones than the
natural hone
20. Describe the
carborundum hone
It is a synthetic hone produced in the United
States. The barber has a choice of several
types, ranging from a slow cutting hone to a
fact cutting hone. It can be used dry, or lather
may be spread over its surface before use.
21. WHAT KIND OF CARE
PRESERVES THE LIFE OF
THE HONE ?
If the hone is very rough or filled with fine steel
particles, use water and pumice stone to remove the
steel particles and to keep it in good condition.
When wet honing is done, the hone should always be
wiped dry after each usage. This aids in cleaning the
hone and also wipes away tiny particles of steel that
adhere to its cutting surface.
23. State History, continued
• Colonial Days
− If your state was one of the original
thirteen colonies, explain what life
was probably like during that time.
• Territorial Days
− If your state was a territory before it
became a state, explain when the
United States Congress created the
territory. Explain how settlers were
able to obtain land in the new
territory.

24. STROPS
Strops are used to keep razors in good
working condition .
Various kinds and qualities of strops are
available. The barber should select the better
grade strop and use it according to the
manufacturer’s instructions
What are the qualities of a good strop?
A good strop is made of durable and flexible
material, has the proper texture and thickness
and shows a smooth finished surface.
Describe a typical barber strop; From which material are strops
made?
1.)Most barber strops are made in pairs, one side
being leather and the other side being canvas. 2.)
Leather strops are made out of cowhide,
horsehide, pigskin and synthetic leather. Canvas
strops are made out of woven linen or silk.
Why should strops be given a hand finish ? How often should this be
done ?
A hand finish keeps the surface of the strop
smooth and in readiness for stropping. A daily
hand finish is desirable.

Describe two methods for giving a hand finish to a
Russian strop.
1. One method frequently used is as
follows:
2. Rub dry pumice stone over the
strop in order to remove the outer
nap and develop a smooth surface
3. Rub stiff lather into the strop.

strop until smooth
5. Clean off the strop.
6. Rub fresh stiff lather into the
strop.
7. Rub a smooth glass bottle several
times over the strop until a
smooth surface is developed.
Another method of breaking in a
Russian strop is to omit the pumice
stone. Instead, stiff lather is rubbed
into the strop with the aid of a
smooth glass bottle or with the palm
of the hand.
27. Why are Russian shell strop
preferred
They require little , if any , breaking in and tend to retain a
smooth surface.
28. The horsehide strop does not
readily impart the proper cutting
edge to the razor.

of Strops; Stropping During Shaving.
30. HONING AND STROPPING
Honing and stropping are important preparatory steps before
shaving a customer. No matter how good a razor may be at the time
of purchase, it needs continual honing and stropping to keep it in
good condition. As the razor is used , its edge wears off. Hence, the
need for proper honing and stropping before the razor can be used
again for shaving the beard.
HONING
To acquire the correct technique, honing of the razor is first
performed on a slow-cutting hone. Speed and ease of moving the
hand and wrist come only after considerable practice in holding and
stroking the razor edge. For best results, keep the hone and razor at
ordinary room temperature..
What is he proper way to learn how to hone and strop razors in a
barber shop?
By continued study, practice and experience.
What is accomplished by proper honing?
The razor acquires a perfect cutting edge.
Describe the manner of stroking a razor on a hone.
Hold the razor flat on the hone at the proper angle and use smooth,
even, diagonal strokes across the hone for both sides of the blade.
32. Explain the proper manner of holding razor for honing.
Grasp razor handle in the right hand, as follows:
1. Rest index finger on top of the side part of the shank.
2. Rest ball of thumb at the joint.
3. Place second finger back of the razor near edge of the shank.
4. Fold remaining fingers around the handle to permit easy turning
over of the razor.
Describe the movements used in honing.
Stroke the razor blade to the left diagonally across the hone, from the
heel to point towards the edge. Turn the razor over on its back with
fingers in the same manner as you would roll a pencil without turning
the wrist. STROKE THE BLADE TO the right diagonally across the
hone, from the heel to the point toward the edge . From three to six
strokes each way generally does a good job.
Test razor on moistened
thumb nail, drawing it
slowly from heel to
point of razor
Magnified Razor
Edge
33. What are the signs of a keen edge on a
properly honed razor?
It tends to dig into the nail with a smooth steady grip.
What are the signs of a blunt razor edge?
It passes Mover the nail smoothly without any cutting power.
What are the signs of a coarse razor edge?
It tends to dig into the nail with a jerky feeling
What are the signs of a rough or over honed
razor edge?
It has large teeth which stick to the nail and give a harsh
cutting feeling
What can a barber do for an over honed razor?
Draw the razor backward in a diagonal line across the
hone,using the same movement and pressure as in regular
honing. One or two strokes each way will usually remove the
rough edge. Then, the razor is honed again, being careful to
prevent overhoning .
What is the proper care of a dry hone?
Use hone as directed by manufacturer. After being used, rub its
surface with water and pumice stone, then wipe clean and keep
covered.
What is the proper care of a wet hone?
Use hone as directed by manufacturer . After being used, keep
its surface clean , smooth and covered.
