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.

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.

PRSSA at LSU Chapter and members recognized with five national awards
Baton Rouge, La.— PRSSA at LSU walked away from the PRSSA 2013 National Conference with five
national awards. The Chapter was recognized as a Star Chapter for the 2012-13 academic year, received
the PRSSA Dr. F.H. Teahan Chapter Diversity Award, two executive board members won President’s
Citation awards, and a student was awarded the PRSA Diversity Multicultural Scholarship.
The conference took place between October 25- 29 in Philadelphia, Pa. Fourteen members of
PRSSA at LSU attended the conference.
The last year’s hard work paid off at the conference. Throughout the 2012-13 academic year,
PRSSA at LSU experienced a complete rebranding. The process included a restructuring of PRSSA's
constitution, general procedures, programming, newsletter, website/blog, social media presence and
fundraising efforts. The Chapter history was also archived to ensure a proper leadership transition for
future executive board members. These efforts led to the awarding of Star Chapter, which was only
received by 27 of more than 300 PRSSA Chapters across the nation.
The Star Chapter Award requires that a Chapter meet eight out of 10 criteria established by
PRSSA National. Two blog posts written by Chapter members were published in PRogressions, a team of
six Chapter members placed second in the College Duck Tape Mini-Competition for creating and
implementing a strategic public relations campaign to raise awareness about College Duck Tape on
campus, the Chapter participated in the PRSSA National Community Service Initiative by hosting a
“card-making luncheon” for members to send to the UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco, Calif., and
2.
many other initiatives were met through the efforts of PRSSA at LSU Chapter members. In total PRSSA
at LSU completed nine out of 10 initiatives.
"We worked so hard last year to rebrand our Chapter, so receiving the Star Chapter Award was
truly an honor,” said Weber, PRSSA at LSU Chapter President. “It definitely makes what I and the
remaining e-board members do every day worth it. We strive to continue strengthening our Chapter by
implementing the National initiatives — such as service, diversity and professional development — so
that we can earn the award again in the future."
The 2013 PRSSA Dr. F.H. Teahan Chapter Diversity Award recognized PRSSA at LSU's strong
commitment to spreading awareness about diversity. The award represents the hard work of the diversity
committee and the Chapter as a whole. The committee conducted a geographic and demographic survey,
hosted a “Micro-aggression Toward Women” Twitter chat during Women’s History Month, created a
Diversity of Thought campaign, and partnered with PRSSA at LSU community service committee to
volunteer with Baton Rouge Special Olympics events among other initiatives. Emily Beck, the current
PRSSA at LSU vice president and last year’s diversity committee head, received the award on behalf of
PRSSA at LSU and the 2012-13 PRSSA at LSU diversity committee.
“One of PRSA's main initiatives is to incorporate diversity in all aspects of public relations. We
felt that bringing this same initiative into our Chapter was imperative, and we were able to gain
outstanding knowledge on the subject from PRSA Diversity Committee Chair Brandi Boatner. She not
only inspired us, but she was available every step of the way to ensure we were effectively spreading the
message on the various aspects of diversity that people often forget,” said Beck.
President’s Citation awards were presented to Mallory Richardson (2012-2013 Chapter President)
and Paige Weber (2013-2014 Chapter President) for their outstanding leadership and professional skills
within PRSSA. This award is presented to PRSSA members who are active on both the Chapter and
National levels of PRSSA.

“I am extremely honored and humbled to receive this award,” said Richardson, the PRSSA
National publications editor in chief. “It's a great feeling to know that the efforts to rebrand our Chapter
last year did not go unnoticed.”
The PRSA Diversity Multicultural Scholarship was awarded to Cyone Batiste, co-director of
PRSSA at LSU’s student-run firm, ImPRint Communications. The award honors men and women for
their outstanding academic achievement and commitment to the practice of public relations. Batiste was
chosen due to her GPA and an essay elaborating on why diversity matters in the public relations industry.
"I am very honored to have received this award and very thankful for all of my professors,
advisers and peers who have helped me get this far in my academic career," said Batiste.
During the national conference Beck and Weber led a session on diversity that used imagery and
quotes from Beyoncé Knowles to portray to session attendees how exciting diversity could be.
“Diversity is a topic that many individuals often bypass, but we want to encourage students to
become more knowledgeable on the subject matter and share the true meaning of diversity. Brandi
Boatner expressed the idea that diversity does not stop at race or ethnicity, which was our main focus,”
said Beck.
PRSSA at LSU was also awarded the Love Purple, Live Gold Most Outstanding
Multicultural/Diversity Program from Campus Life at LSU in spring 2013.
PRSSA at LSU is a pre-professional organization that allows members to network and gain insight from
leading professionals around Louisiana. It is one of more than 300 chapters of PRSSA National. For more
