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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Q1
In a 2009 interview, a former Russian premier revealed that during a break
from negotiations, his then US counterpart had asked if they could keep their
differences aside in case of an extremely unpredictable event. This informal
agreement made during the 80’s, remained only in between both the leaders
and their interpreters. However, the event was easily anticipated by the
president as he was an avid Sci-Fi fan and even named his nuclear deterrent
plan after a popular space opera containing severe daddy issues.
Identify this event and name the said nuclear deterrent plan.
4. Q2
This intergalactic law-enforcement organization uses high-tech gadgets and
weapons to protect the galaxy from various alien threats and attacks. The name of
this organisation alludes to the duty of its members; to plug the leaks in everyday
life such as extraterrestrials, monsters and ghosts. Its origin “lead” to its derivation
from an historic usage in Roman Empire contributing as one of the most known
professions ever. Notable members include George Washington, Benjamin
Franklin and a grandfather who uses his experience to aid his grandson in various
battles along the road.
Identify this organisation.
5. Q3
Featured here are the reel (left) vs real (right) flag of a US organisation, with the
reel version being launched before. However, the release of the real version of this
flag was noted for its striking resemblance to an insignia from another cult sci-fi
TV series. Name both the series.
6. Episode 2 of Space Force features a scene where upon enquiry, Dr Chan
enumerates the kind of stuff floating around in free space in accelerative orbit,
cheekily adding another element among the other variety of metallic ‘garbage’ in
orbit. What is the ‘garbage’ being referred to here, compared by media outlets to
Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain for being a ‘ready made’ work of art?
Q4
7. Pictured here is a brief framework of a creative project undertaken nearly two
decades ago, after a particular musical endeavour was dismissed as silly. This
project served the dual purpose of prioritising art over fame, while also
introducing an iconic genre-breaking identity, lasting until it’s epilogue recently.
Q5*
8.
9. In an alternate universe, this ‘chilled out’ speed-skater was denied an
opportunity to represent the US at the Winter Olympics by the NSA* in the
mid-20th Century, solely on the basis of his extraordinary physical
abilities. While he made the most of it in other endeavours/arenas/, his
inability to locate his primary attire was a running gag that was referenced
in a recent return to the same universe. Who is the person in question?
Q6
10. To help reduce anxiety and relax the cows, a dairy farm in Russia decided to use
Virtual Reality headsets for them. These VR headsets were enlisted because a
relaxed environment would increase the milk yield.
Netizens were quick to draw parallels between this and something released a
little over two decades ago which also had a similar approach to keep the
people relaxed and away from reality.
These VR cows were being compared to what?
Q7*
11. A commemorative coin released a
while ago received considerable
backlash for its inaccuracies. The
addition of another leg, the wrong
type of hat and even a quote that is
dubious. To whom was this coin
dedicated?
Q8*
12. With a story rooted in Indian culture and
Mythology, this superhero quickly became popular
among Indian readers. He has a green, muscular
body with all the ideal traits of a hero. His
extraordinary powers could be attributed to a kind of
limbless reptile, the blood of which flows through
his veins and aid him to decimate all evil from the
world.
Identify this superhero, who also shares his prefix
with a famous celebrity family active in Telugu
cinema.
Q9
13.
14. Since Medieval times, this symbol has been used to represent the holy trinity. In the
late 1980's it was used to mimic the Tryzub and symbolised anti-communist
sentiments.
In 2008, It became a part of pop culture after being used by a certain community, as a
gesture of thanks, respect, gratitude, or to say goodbye to a loved one. It then
went on to become a cry against authoritarian regimes and was even banned in a
certain South East Asian country.
ID the phenomenon from 2008 and the gesture which made headlines as recently as
February 2021.
Q10
15. Pictured here are some frames from story of three generations of super-warriors,

Q11
16.
17.
18. Featured is a snippet from an iconic song. The main character from this song,
ended up inspiring the name of a certain first in human history. Look
carefully at the imagery of the song- subject to great scrutiny at the time of its
release owing to the illicit promotion of something- despite the band’s
constant denial of the same. However, this shady allusion was a major plot
point in a film from the last decade where a character goes on to meet her
name sake- the aforementioned first in human history.
Q12- Video Q*
19. An amalgam of sci-fi adventure and love triangle with a juxtaposition to
1818 famous novel, this film is a futuristic techno-thriller in around 2200 or
3000 AD. The visual appearance of a character in this film was based on GI Joe
action figures. A visual allusion to science books A Briefer History Of Time
(2005) and Freakonomics and a classic appearance of the famous stock
scream sound (WilHelm scream) in climax scene makes this film an
overwhelming mash up of sci-fi spectacle and incredible VFX.
What is this film?
Q13
20. While his name literally translates to ‘no-one’, this mythical descendent of
Tipu Sultan suffered great familial losses during the revolt of 1857 and
voyaged across the seas to avenge the imperialist regime. He also
lends his name to a much loved adventurous clown known for his
escapist antics. Who?
Q14

their fans by maintaining social distancing protocols. How is this
achieved?
Q16
23. The inabilities of the titular structural persona which was stolen from another
1986 sci-fi comedy, made the film rely heavily on the visual component. In the

loser from our childhood, whose legacy includes certain vehicles. Who is the
legend that was constantly rewatched?
Which film does the titular structure belong to?
Q17*
24. The beginning of the Nobel Prize Awards (2019) was narrated much like the beginning
of the Universe, owing to the popularity of this pop-culture phenomenon in the

asocial physicist from this, strives to win a Nobel Prize as well with his spouse.
This character was named after a Nobel winning physicist who worked extensively in
the field of superconductivity.
ID the character and the physicist that he is named after.
Q18
