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.
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

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.

ILLUSTRATIONS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CLICK ON THE
BOX UNDER THE QUESTION/INFO!
2. OUTLINE
My film idea is simply a dream. My friend Jamie will be playing the main actor. The movie will
begin with a birds eye view of Jamie waking within the dream in a field. He will then stand with
Confusion as he will be confused where he is. It will then go to a first person perspective of Jamie
looking around and noticing a figure in all black stood in the distance running towards him. The
camera view will then swipe to Jamie running away towards a forest. There will be a chase seq-
uence in the woods until Jamie falls to the floor. Then it will cut away to the man in all black
walking towards him but Jamie jumping back up with a stick in his hand. The man in black
then notices a stick to use to defend him self. Then intense fight music will start an the battle will
commence like a fight from Star Wars but sticks not light sabers. After lots of dramatic fighting
the man in black finally makes a hit to the leg putting Jamie to his knees where it will go back to
a first person perspective of Jamie taking a smack to the face of the stick but cutting just before
the hit to Jamie waking scared in his bed at home.
3. MARKET FIT
My film genre is action. After lots of researching into this
genre and other similar films I have found that my product
fits within the genre perfectly. My film is very different still to
other films I have researched but with some elements such
as a fight scene and it being very fast pass. Since the
structure and story of my film is so simple compared to what
I have looked at such as Gladiator and the Sherlock Holmes
movies which both have a deeper message behind them and
grab different audiences from this and the plot of the film. I
feel my film will target the younger audience as it simple and
does not rely on the story but the visuals making it harder to
fit within a specific market.
5. CHARACTERS
Jamie: Jamie is the main character. He is 18 and is finishing
college to go to university. He has been stressing about his
exams and his get away has been his crazy dreams. The film
is about one of Jamie’s dreams.
Man in Black: will be wearing nothing but black and is never
shown who he is and don’t find out anything or need to know
anything about him.
6. TARGET AUDIENCE
My target audience is based at teenagers more so being 12-21.
As the film contains nothing graphic or any issues but will have
aspects of fighting and on edge action for the chase scenes
making it unsuitable for too young but can make it more
enjoyable for slightly older audience. After researching within to
similar movies of where I got ideas to implement into my movie,
I found out a very large audience but that’s from the size of the
movie with its fan base so I researched into several films with
different styles all linking to mine and I found out that the
audience is similar to what I want being within the teenager
years. I also researched within games that have used cut scenes
which has also given me influenced and have looked who
enjoys those games and again concludes that I will be aiming
my film towards 12-21.
7. LOCATIONS
I will be shooting in two locations for my film but the second
location only needs one shot and will take no more than 10 minutes
to film as it the very last shot which last no more than 3
seconds(Jamie awaking from the dream). My main location for
shooting is The Planet Cycle Route where we will be walking down
to get to a certain bridge with the forest and field I will be filming in.
As I will be filming within the forest the ground will be awkward at
times for getting a level shot so I will be bringing my gorilla pod too
which will allow me to get shots within the environment which
would usually have issues. I have also made sure that I can film at
the college just in case I need to for emergency in case of trouble
with weather on shooting day. I will also be filming within Jamie’s
bedroom at his house for the last scene of him waking in his bed
which will be no issue as that can be filmed within any time and
only needs me to film him.
8. RESOURCES
I am going to need a balaclava for my man in black character
as he needs to be unidentifiable and be only dressed in
black. I have black clothing for the rest of the character and
the rest of the costume is already got.
I will not need to book out any camera equipment as it will be
all filmed with my own gear.
9. CREW
REQUIREMENTS
Matthew Darley/Charles Stick: Matt and Charles will be my
film crew. I only need one person to film but they would like
to help as return for me helping with theirs so if one cant
make my film day I have a backup anyway.
Patrick Dewhirst: Back up Actor and camera man who will
help us carry equipment also and wanted to come help with
the production.
I have chosen these people as they have all helped with
previous work on my music video and corporate video so I
know how they work and that they will be reliable for me to
work with them again on this project.
10. CAST REQUIREMENTS
My film will be starring to actors, myself and Jamie Allen.
Jamie will be playing the main character and I will be playing
the man in black. I chose Jamie as he is the smallest person I
know who would be happy to be an actor in my film. I needed
a short character the emphasise my height of being the man
in black to look more scary if he can tower over Jamie in
some shots. Me and Jamie are also good friends who will be
able to act well together even with no dialogue and purely
acting as well as when we have to have the stick fight for the
end fight scene Jamie is perfect. This is because me and
Jamie used to play as kids with pretend swords and will be
able to create a dramatic fight scene without anyone actually
getting hit which might be difficult with someone who
doesn’t know how I want the fight to go.
12. SCHEDULE
I am going to be planning on dates within the next half term
as I have asked my cast/crew are all free within the half term
and allows to have a full day instead of having to do it after
or before college which would make it very rushed for time
as my location will take some time to get too and needs to be
filmed within the day time.
