San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane is a 17th century Baroque church in Rome designed by Francesco Borromini. It was commissioned in 1634 by the Spanish Trinitarian order as part of their monastic complex. Due to space constraints on its small urban site, Borromini designed the church with an unusual oval plan and curved walls. The church takes historical and architectural significance from Borromini's innovative Baroque designs that broke from traditional Renaissance proportions and structures.

La arquitectura renacentista nace en Italia durante el Quattrocento. Sus características más importantes son:
Deseo de realizar edificios perfectos desde el punto de vista de "perfección técnica", basándose en cálculos matemáticos y geométricos, para obtener la máxima armonía y proporción.
Para ello toman como módulos el radio y el diámetro de una columna. Hay teóricos como Paccioti que hablan de la proporción áurea, que es la más adecuada para la construcción: 1 m. de alto x 1,6 m de ancho.
El efecto ascensional del gótico es trocado por la horizontalidad.
Tiene preferencia el espacio unitario. Es decir, se busca que desde el interior se pueda tener una visión total del edificio, sin importar el punto de vista del observador.
Se busca la belleza formal.
Elementos constructivos de la Arquitectura renacentista Italiana.
La principal influencia, obviamente es la del mudo clásico, muy especialmente de la arquitectura romana.
Elementos sustentantes:
Sustentante continuo: el muro recupera su valor como sustentante. Es frecuente que estén articulados con pilastras, líneas de imposta, etc.
Sustentantes discontinuos: se utilizan los órdenes clásicos, con preferencia por el corintio. También se usan entablamentos y frontones.
Elementos sostenidos
El arco que se emplea es el arco de medio punto.
Como cubiertas, se emplena las planas con casetones o bóvedas (de cañón o de arista). La cúpula adquiere un especial protagonismo y va a ser una constante preocupación técnica de los arquitectos renacentistas.
Elementos decorativos
Se utilizan:
Elementos constructivos para decorar: pilastras, entablamentos...
Medallones o tondos (círculos con relieves en el centro).
Sillares almohadillados
Guirnaldas.

“ Rebirth”
Revival of artistic achievements based on classical world.
‘Rebirth’ of classical Greek and Roman. The movement started in Italy.
During this era, people began to research the culture of the antique world.
The period was triggered by the increasing sophistication of the society, where economic growth, educational pursuits and political stability were key factors.
The limits of renaissance architecture was pushed by wealthy patrons such as Medic family of Florence, Pope Leo X and Pope Julius II
Characteristics
Building was looked upon as works of art. It followed traditions of middle ages that did not separate the structure from the decoration.
In situ construction hence harmony was given between the jointing and the architectural features.

Italian Renaissance - Palazzo Ricardi, St. Peters Basilica, Rome, Villa Capra, Vicenza
⦁ Italian Renaissance is divided into three periods
Early Renaissance (Early 15th century)
Includes the works of Brunelleschi & Michelozzo. The concepts of architectural orders were explored, rules were formulated & classical detail & ornamentation was adopted. Space was organized by proportional logic & its form was subject to geometry. Ex. Basilica Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence by Brunelleschi.
II. High Renaissance (Late 15th to Early 16th century)
Renaissance became an individual style in its own right
Purist or Palladian, where Roman tradition was held in high respect (represented by Andrea Palladio)
Proto-Baroque, where there was more confidence in using the acquired vocabulary freely (represented by Michelangelo)
Mannerist, where practices which had no Roman precedent were interspersed with the usual buildings. Eg: Bramante
III. Baroque Period (17th century)
Architects worked with freedom and firmly-acquired knowledge.
The term Romanesque ("Roman-like") was first used to designate a style of architecture that used Roman arches and had thick, heavy walls, based upon the basilica. The style is pervasive throughout Europe.

The building style of the Baroque era, begun in late 16th-century Italy, that took the Roman vocabulary of Renaissance architecture and used it in a new theatrical fashion, often to express the triumph of the Catholic Church and the absolutist state.
It was characterized by new explorations of form, light and shadow, and dramatic intensity.
A Self-Guided Angels & Demons Tour of Rome by Florencia San Martin Brück.
This self-guided Angels & Demons tour assumes that you’ve read the book, and so therefore don’t need elements of the story pointed out to you. All notes next to the pictures are from the book.
Four Altars of Science, representing the four elements of earth, air, fire and water, and a mysterious text from John Milton are the key clues that, once decoded, will enable you to
experience the Path of Illumination step by step.
From Santi’s earthly tomb with demon’s hole,
‘Cross Rome the mystic elements unfold.
The path of light is laid, the sacred test,
Let angels guide you on your lofty quest. (Chapter 55)

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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”.
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.

SAN CARLO ALLE QUATTRO FONTANE, ROME (1638 - 41)
( Italian : "Saint Charles At The Four Fountains )
Design By Francesco Borromini, San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane is an iconic masterpiece of Baroque architecture, built in 17th century as part of a complex of monastic buildings on the
Quirinal Hill, at the southwest corner of the intersection of Via XX Septembre and Via delle Quattro Fontane.
i) What is the function or purpose of the building?
San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, also called San Carlino, Influential Baroque church in Rome as part of a small monastery for a community of Spanish Monks.(Quattro Fontane =

Four Fountain)
The church was commissioned by the Spanish Trinitarian order of monks ("discaleced" or shoeless), an order which raised money to ransom Christian captives.
Borromini designed the adjacent monastery four years before he started work on the church.
Because the church is small it is sometimes referred to in the diminutive : San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane.
It was commissioned in 1634 and was built during 1638-46, except for the tall facade, which was added about 1677.
Built to fit in a cramped and difficult site, the church has an unusual and somewhat irregular floor plan in the shape of Greek cross defined by convex curves.
The church takes its name from the fact that at the intersection where it stands there are four fountains, one at each corner.
The pre-existing fountain, incorporated in the corner of the church, is a depiction of the recumbent Neptune, also defined as a personification of the Amo River, another fountain
depicts the Tiber.
Purpose - teaching biblical doctrine, providing a place of fellowship for believers, observing the Lord’s supper, and praying.

An Oval Plan
The site was quite small so Borromoni could not design a normal Greek cross with four equal arms. Instead the plan is a combination oval and Greek cross with walls undulating and
niches suggesting deeper space.
The coffering above the niches is optically varied to fool the eye into thinking the niches are deeper.

The site for the new church and its monastery was at the south-west corner of the "Quattro Fontane" which refers to the four corner fountains set on the oblique at the intersection of two
roads, the Strada Pia and the Strada Felice, Bernini's oval church of Sant' Andrea al Quirinale would later be built further along the Strada Pia.

ii) How the function or purpose of the building makes the building historically significant and meaningful?
Four relief medallions
The first medallion probably shows the meeting of John of Matha and Felix of Valois, the two "founders" of the Order.
The second shows the celebration of the Eucharist.
The third portrays the approval of the Order by Pope Innocent III in 1988
The fourth shows a ransoming of Christian captives from either North Africa or Spain.
With the used of the oval, the shallow curves of the bays; and the squashed short pediments, Borromini denies us what the architects of the Early and High Renaissance sought above all in
their studies of Vitruvius; the logical expression of the structure of a building in its decoration in which the proportions of the smallest element can lead us to the proportions of the whole
structure.
When ovals are introduced, or when pediments are squashed and do not reach the top of the arch we are denied this understanding of the space we occupy. It is this deliberate manipulation
of the familiar to create the unfamiliar which is behind the unsettling architecture which Borromini creates, and which is so expressive of the state of flux of the Roman Church, and hence the
city, in the seventeenth century.
The art of the Baroque tell us that the transition from the earthly to the divine is altogether more uncertain. It is beyond the realm of the knowable, disobedient to the laws of matter.
