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.

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.

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
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)

Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

3. PREPARING USEFUL EVALUATION NOTES
• Evaluation notes would normally be split between performance and design, with
250 words each.
• The following 100 words provide an example of notes for one key moment from
the production of As You Like It, performed by The RSC in June 2019 when you
went to see it in Y10.
4. KEY MOMENT 1 – THE OPENING OF THE PLAY
PERFORMANCE
• Anger of Orlando at being kept poor by his brother
Oliver. Oliver’s careless, impatient attitude towards
him. Adams concern for his masters fighting and
subsequent hurt and indignation at being called
‘Dog’ by Oliver.
• Rosalind and Celia’s carefree enjoyment and
friendship, Touchstone’s cynical commentary on
Court life.
DESIGN
• Isolation of spotlight (LX) on Orlando, Swing and
resonance of childhood memories of the brothers.
Contrasting costumes of Orlando (work clothes -
poor) and Oliver (suit – rich)
• Similar rich costumes with only slight differences for
Rosalind and Celia to show differences of status.
Champagne glasses, bare feet, grass circle, sounds of
a part off stage and the neat, ordered environment of
the Court. Grey walls enclosing the stage area.
5. KEY MOMENT 2 – THE WRESTLING MATCH
PERFORMANCE
• Physical actions and control by both
wrestlers in a choreographed sequence
including lifts and throws onto the
floor, reactions of the crowd and
Rosalind who falls in love with Orlando,
impressed by his manner but also his
looks, eye contact, standing in front of
Celia when she tries to speak to him.
DESIGN
• Jackets removed to shirt sleeves,
Jacques de Bois’ head-set and her high
heels on the grass, posts and rope set
up to mark out the space for the
match, other cast members waving
small ‘C’ flags in support of Charles the
wrestler, bag of gold given to Orlando
the winner
6. KEY MOMENT 3 - FROM THE COURT TO THE
FOREST
PERFORMANCE

as Duke Frederick changes character into Duke
Senior, directly addressing the audience ‘Fellow
Exiles all…’ with warm tones and welcoming
gestures.
• Ganymede, Aliana and Touchstone’s arrival
into the forest demonstrating their lack of
experience – comically exhausted, cleverly
descending from the balcony to the stage
floor.
DESIGN
• Rear wall flown out to reveal the full stage
depth. Everything revealed – the confines of
the court are removed and a sense of wonder,
of space and of freedom holds us. House lights
illuminate the audience, LEDS light the pillars
of the auditorium to become trees in the forest
and we are all there too. Cushions and rugs
create the relaxed atmosphere of the exiled
court. Fur lined jackets and bare feet lend a
sense of rustic freedom where rules are cast
aside in favour of Nature
7. KEY MOMENT 4 – ORLANDO’S LOVE LETTERS
PERFORMANCE

volume of the notes, descending
glitterball to create magical
atmosphere, the whole auditorium lit
with house lights at 50% so we are all
included and share each other’s
reactions, pillars lit to become trees
with green LEDs as if we are in the
forest.
8. KEY MOMENT 5 – THE WEDDING CELEBRATIONS
PERFORMANCE
• Ganymede promises to reveal Rosalind to
Duke Senior and Orlando, both are
confused, she is earnest. Relief and
happiness at the revelations. Love and
affection in the eyes of the couples who will
marry. Jubilation and joy in the dancing and
choral celebrations, joining in song. Honesty
and friendship in Rosalind’s final address to
the audience
DESIGN

coloured lighting and music in major chords
indicate happiness and harmony in the lives
of the characters on stage
