The presidential election process has two main parts: securing a party's nomination through primaries and caucuses, and then winning the general election by securing a majority of electoral votes. Incumbents have an advantage with higher name recognition, fundraising abilities, and the ability to promote their agenda from the White House. Candidates unofficially campaign early in primaries and caucuses to boost their profile. Winning early voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire provides momentum. At conventions, candidates must earn over half of all delegates to formally receive the nomination. Then, they campaign more broadly in swing states to appeal to moderate voters in the general election.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

2. The Process
2 parts:
▶ Secure the party nomination
▶ Win majority of electoral votes
Incumbents have an advantage
▶ About 80% reelection rate
▶ Well-known
▶ “bully pulpit”
▶ Money and staff
4. Securing the Party Nomination
Primary Elections
▶ Closed primary—voters
must declare party
affiliation
▶ Open primary—voters
choose which party’s
primary to vote in
▶ Blanket primary—can
cast ballots for multiple
parties (rare)
Caucuses
▶ Party members meet in
small groups to hear
about the candidates
▶ Then cast votes publically
▶ Inconvenient for voters
▶ 13 states
• voting for delegates to attend the national convention
• Advising delegates who to nominate at the convention
5. It’s good to win early
Iowa caucus
▶ First test of a candidate’s strength
New Hampshire primary
▶ Traditionally the first primary
If you win early, you get media attention, money,
momentum
6. National Party
Conventions
Where the parties officially
choose their candidate &
set the platform
Usually, we know who the
candidate will be from the
results of the primaries and
caucuses
Also choose the VP
candidate
7. How does it work?
Balloting for the nomination:
▶ Roll call of state’s delegates
▶ Announce how many delegates your state is giving
each candidate
▶ You have to get a certain percentage to become the
nominee
▶ In 2012:
▶ Dems 2383/4765
▶ Repubs 1237/2472
▶ Usually a formality now

8. So I’m a delegate to the convention. Do I have to
vote for the winner of my state’s primary/caucus?
Depends on the state you are from
▶ Some states allow delegates to be independent
▶ Some states use “pledged delegates”
▶ Some states give all their delegates to the
winner of the primary/caucus
▶ Some states use a proportional system
9. Superdelegates
Democratic party leaders
and elected officials who
automatically attend the
convention as voting
delegates
Not pledged to a
candidate
In 2016, there were over
700 superdelgates at the
DNC convention
For 2020, they have been
scaled back
10. Campaigning for the General Election
▶ Try to sustain momentum from conventions
▶ Post-convention “bounce” in the polls
▶ Raise more money
▶ Widen your appeal to moderate voters
▶ Debates
▶ Secure endorsements
▶ Travel to swing states
