This document discusses and compares three ancient texts: the Bhagavad Gita, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and Medea. It analyzes how each text depicts the power of religion, seduction/tyranny, and revenge, respectively. For the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna uses religion to teach Arjuna about fulfilling his duty. For Gilgamesh, it shows how the king abuses his power and seeks immortality after his friend's death. For Medea, the story illustrates how Medea uses her power to get revenge against her husband through murder.
A singular and stunning debut novel about the forbidden union between two enslaved young men on a Deep South plantation, the refuge they find in each other, and a betrayal that threatens their existence.Isaiah was Samuel?s and Samuel was Isaiah?s. That was the way it was since the beginning, and the way it was to be until the end. In the barn they tended to the animals, but also to each other, transforming the hollowed-out shed into a place of human refuge, a source of intimacy and hope in a world ruled by vicious masters. But when an older man?a fellow slave?seeks to gain favor by preaching the master?s gospel on the plantation, the enslaved begin to turn on their own. Isaiah and Samuel?s love, which was once so simple, is seen as sinful and a clear danger to the plantation?s harmony.With a lyricism reminiscent of Toni Morrison, Robert Jones, Jr. fiercely summons the voices of slaver and the enslaved alike to tell the story of these two men; from Amos the preacher to the calculating .

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”.
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.
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.

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.

2. The
Good
The Bhagavad Gita shows the
power of religion as good.
Krishna, the Lord, uses religion
to preach to Arjuna. In the end,
Arjuna understands his duty is to
fight his kin.
3. Power is used by Krishna to preach
to Arjuna the importance of one’s
duty on earth, or dharma.
The author is using Arjuna’s
struggle to show significance of
religion is attaining yoga and
fulfilling one’s dharma.
The
Good
4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuRvBoLu4t0
Oppenheimer was one of the “fathers of
the atomic bomb” during World War II. He
uses the quote from the Bhagavad Vita
when Krishna takes on multiple forms,
one of them being death or the
destroyer. Like Arjuna’s duty, people’s
duties can be difficult to do.
The
Good
5. The
Bad
The Epic of Gilgamesh shows
the power of seduction,
tyranny and the power to
attain immorality.
Gilgamesh has the power as King
however fails to become victim to
the power of seduction by the
princess Ishtar.
6. Gilgamesh uses his power to become
a King, a tyrant. The power of
seduction is used when Ishtar
attempts to seduce Gilgamesh and
fails leading to the death of his
friend. He attempts in vain to
attain immorality after the death
of his friend.
The
Bad
7. The author uses Gilgamesh to show
how Kings can abuse their power
and be “power hungry” in the
search for power beyond their
control, and uses the journey’s
end to show how Gilgamesh
became stronger and more apt
to lead Uruk.
The
Bad
9. The
Ugly
Medea shows the power of
revenge as Medea kills her
former husband’s new wife, the
wife’s father and her children.
Medea has power and uses it
against her husband who turned
away from her.
10. Medea uses her power to hurt her
former husband, the King. The
author uses ‘The chorus’, a group
of Athenian women, to send us a
message of the importance of
equality and justice.
Revenge is useless and only
leads to destruction.
The
Ugly
