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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.
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.

Production
1. On 8/10/12 I and my group went out and filmed selected scenes from our
storyboard. We filmed on the street during daytime. The main character was
Jasmine played by (Natasha).The first couple of scenes presented the girl
walking down the road looking paranoid. The setting was cold and damp. She
had her umbrella up and would often pull it down and carry on her journey.
Through these scenes we wanted to portray her loneliness and isolation.
Sometimes it wouldn't work because of the unnecessary elements that would
be presented in front of the camera. We decided to tighten up our work and
take turns directing. During filming we had discussions on how to make it look
professional as possible by working on the acting elements. Natasha
conducted herself professionally. Afterwards we added in the stalker played
by (Olivia). Olivia wore a black raincoat to convey darkness and danger.
Further onwards there was a long shot of her following Jasmine without her
being alerted. This created a spooky and chilling affect for the audience.
Eventually this shot didn't work so well because the location was too crowded
and didn't create enough suspense for the audience. Altogether we agreed to
shoot more scenes. In the end we changed our set location and props for the
next time we shoot. During this production we made a video diary of behind
the scenes, we displayed the filming making process and we talked about our
role within the group.
On 11/10/12 we filmed outside of college in a small court yard. This time we
filmed a different scene with the news reporter played by (Chicka) we shoot
her part of broadcasting news for a missing diamond which was suppose to be
looked after by secret agents in the UK. The diamond is owned by a prince in
Dubai. Chicka adapted to her part really well. In the end we made a decision to
shoot in better weather conditions, the weather conditions didn't match our
selected ideas.
On the 21/10/12 I and my group filmed at the Hackney Town Hall. We selected a scene
from our storyboard; we constructed the scene with Natasha walking with her friend
towards an old fashioned building. Natasha finds a crystal stones with amazement, this
builds up excitement for the audience. During filming we added in a lot of different shot
types and dialogue to make it look more interesting and realistic. In addition we focused
on costume; Natasha wore jeans, jackets, shoes and a handbag to create a casual look.
My character wore black jeans, jacket and a grey handbag. This look develops a set
persona, it makes them look unique compared to other characters.
As the process went on we decided to film Natasha walking through an alleyway to
develop a mysterious, spooky and chilly atmosphere. This showed her isolation from
other’s it felt like somebody was watching her every move since she had found the
diamond. The lighting was grey and misty blended to portray her emotions. She feels
scared because she’s alone but she also feels reassured and secured because it’s daytime.
I think the whole process went well because we were well organised and alert about our
decisions as a group. On our next filming date we should focus on the script for the
audience to get a sense of the character’s personality. To build up a personal
connection.
2. 23/10/12
As a set task, the group decided to film in more locations. Firstly we filmed in outside a
block of flats. We filmed the stalker wearing a grey hooded jumper. He followed
Natasha through a small pathway. To convey danger and to cause tension for the
audience, I filmed certain scenes is well I focused on tracking shots, long shots and point
of view shots. I want the film to have full effect when the editing is finalised.
Secondly we shot a scene where Natasha was receiving a threat letter through her mail
box. The camera focused on a point of view shot of Natasha looking at the letter from a
point of view shot. To show the creepy font to indicate the stalker’s state of mind to be
crazy and insane, the lighting inside of the house was dull to sustain a grey and dark
shadow is following Natasha. The diamond is causing bad things to happen in her. I
think we improved on creating an image for the audience by putting all our creativity
together. We included the aspects of mise-en-scene, editing and camerawork. Our target
for next time is to make the editing more fast paste to convey the conventions of a
thriller and action genre.
