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.

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.

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”.
3. Plant diseases are known from times preceding the earliest
writings.
Plant disease outbreaks with similar far-reaching effects in more
recent times include
Late blight of potato in Ireland (1845–60)
Powdery and downy mildew of grape - France (1851 and 1878)
coffee rust - Ceylon (starting in the 1870s);
Sigatoka leaf spot and panama disease of banana - central America
(1900–65)
Black stem rust of wheat - (1916, 1935, 1953–54)

4. Loss of crops from plant diseases may result in hunger and
starvation, especially in less developed countries where access to
disease-control methods is limited and annual losses of 30 to 50
percent are common for major crops.
In some years, losses are much greater, producing catastrophic
results for those who depend on the crop for food.
Major disease outbreaks among food crops have led to famines
and mass migrations throughout history.

5. The devastating outbreak of late blight of potato (
Phytophthora infestans) that began in Europe in 1845 and brought
about the Irish famine caused starvation, death, and mass migration

Diseases—a normal part of nature:
Plant diseases are a normal part of nature and one of many
ecological factors that help keep the hundreds of thousands of living
plants and animals in balance with one another

6. Plant cells contain special signaling pathways that enhance their
defenses against insects, animals, and pathogens.
One such example involves a plant hormone called jasmonate
(jasmonic acid).
In the absence of harmful stimuli, jasmonate binds to special
proteins, called JAZ proteins, to regulate plant growth, Pollen
production, and other.
it also increase the defense mechanism of plants.

7. Disease development and transmission
Pathogenesis and saprogenesis
Pathogenesis is the stage of disease in which the pathogen is in
intimate association with living host tissue.
Three fairly distinct stages are involved:
Inoculation: transfer of the pathogen to the infection court, or area
in which invasion of the plant occurs (the infection court may be the
unbroken plant surface, a variety of wounds, or natural openings.
PreviousEnd Next
8. Incubation: the period of time between the arrival of the
pathogen in the infection court and the appearance of
symptoms
Infection: the appearance of disease symptoms accompanied
by the establishment and spread of the pathogen.
PreviousEnd Next
9. Temperature:
Each pathogen has an optimum temperature for growth. In addition,
different growth stages of the fungus, such as the production of
spores, their germination, and the growth of the mycelium, may have
slightly different optimum temperatures.
Relative humidity :
Relative humidity is very critical in fungal spore germination and the
development of storage rots.
Environmental factors affecting disease development
PreviousEnd Next
10. High humidity favours development of the great majority of leaf
and fruit diseases caused by fungi and bacteria. Moisture is
generally needed for fungal spore germination, the multiplication
and penetration of bacteria, and the initiation of infection.
Soil moisture:
High or low soil moisture may be a limiting factor in the
development of certain root rot diseases.
High soil-moisture levels favour development of destructive water
mold fungi, such as species of Aphanomyces, Pythium, and
Phytophthora.
PreviousEnd Next
11. Soil pH
Soil pH, a measure of acidity or alkalinity, markedly influences a few
diseases, such as common scab of potato and club root of crucifers
(Plasmodiophora brassicae).
Growth of the potato scab organism is suppressed at a pH of 5.2 or
slightly below (pH 7 is neutral; numbers below 7 indicate acidity,
and those above 7 indicate alkalinity).
PreviousEnd Next
12. Scab is not normally a problem when the natural soil pH is about
5.2.
Soil type
Certain pathogens are favoured by loam soils and others by clay
soils.
Phymatotrichum root rot attacks cotton and some 2,000 other plants
PreviousEnd Next
13. Phymatotrichum fungus is serious only in black alkaline soils—pH
7.3 or above—that are low in organic matter.
Soil fertility:
Greenhouse and field experiments have shown that raising or
lowering the levels of certain nutrient elements required by plants
frequently influences the development of some infectious diseases.

19. Exclusion and avoidance
The principle of exclusion and avoidance is to keep the pathogen
away from the growing host plant.
This practice commonly excludes pathogens by disinfection of
plants, seeds, or other parts, using chemicals or heat.
Inspection and certification of seed and other planting stock help
ensure freedom from disease.
PreviousEnd Next
20. Eradication
Eradication is concerned with elimination of the disease agent after
it has become established in the area of the growing host or has
penetrated the host.
Such measures include crop rotation, destruction of the diseased
plants, elimination of alternate host plants, pruning, disinfection, and
heat treatments.
PreviousEnd Next
21. Protection
The principle of protection involves placing a barrier between the
pathogen and the susceptible part of the host to shield the host from
the pathogen.
This can be accomplished by regulation of the environment, cultural
and handling practices, control of insect carriers, and application of
chemical pesticides.
PreviousEnd Next
22. Regulation of the environment
Selection of outdoor growing areas where weather is
unfavourable for disease is a method of controlling disease by
regulating the environment.
PreviousEnd Next
23. Cultural practices
Selection of the best time and depth of seeding and planting is an
effective cultural practice that reduces disease impact.
adjustment of soil moisture is another cultural practice of
widerspread usefulness. Adjustment of soil pH also leads to control
of some diseases.
PreviousEnd Next
24. Regulation of fertility level and nutrient balance:
Potash and nitrogen, and the balance between the two, may affect
the incidence of certain bacterial, fungal, and viral diseases of corn,
cotton, tobacco, and sugar beet.
Adjusting the soil pH, adding chelated or soluble salts to the
soil, or spraying the foliage with these or similar salts is a corrective
measure.
PreviousEnd Next
25. Control of insect vectors
There are many examples in which losses by bacteria, viruses, and
mycoplasma-like disease agents can be reduced by controlling
aphids, leafhoppers, thrips, beetles, and other carriers of these
agents.
PreviousEnd Next
26. Biological control:
Biological control of plant diseases involves the use of micro
organisms other than humans to reduce or prevent infection by a
pathogen.
These organisms are called antagonists; they may occur naturally
within the host’s environment, or they may be purposefully applied
to those parts of the potential host plant where they can act directly
or indirectly on the pathogen.
PreviousEnd Next
27. To sum up
The crop loss due to diseases is estimated to be approximately 30-50%.
Cultivated plants are often more susceptible to diseases than are their wild
relatives. Important environmental factors that may affect development of plant
diseases are temperature, relative humidity, soil moisture, soil pH, soil type,
and soil fertility. Each pathogen has an optimum temperature for growth .
High soil-moisture levels favour development of destructive water mold fungi,
such as species of Aphanomyces, Pythium, and Phytophthora. High humidity
favours development of the great majority of leaf and fruit diseases caused by
fungi and bacteria. Soil pH, a measure of acidity or alkalinity, markedly
influences a few diseases, such as common scab of potato and clubroot
(Plasmodiophora brassicae) of crucifers. Raising or lowering the levels of
certain nutrients also influences the development of some infectious diseases.
Most control measures are directed against inoculums of the pathogen and
involve the principles of exclusion and avoidance, eradication, protection, host
resistance and selection, and therapy.
