This proposal is for a technology magazine called CANNY, aimed at 16-20 year olds. The magazine will review affordable technology products that the author has personally used. It will discuss both essential and unnecessary devices. In addition to reviews, it will feature a section on a surprising household item and mock advertisements. The magazine's design will use vibrant colors and clean, simple layouts to be aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly. The author believes their skills in Photoshop and other software from previous study will enable them to create this magazine successfully. They will evaluate the project by analyzing what elements did and did not work to apply lessons to future projects.

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

Working Title: CANNY (the quality of having or showing good powers ofjudgement)
This title was decideduponbecause it’s a trendyabbreviation, of whichappeals to younger audiencesand it makes
sense alongside the context of the magazine, as it gives readers the knowledge to decide upona piece ofaffordable
technologysuitedto their needs, which inturn shows good powers of judgement to those aroundyou.
What is it called? This can change if you think of something better later
Audience:
My audience demographic will range between 16-20 year olds seeing as this is the age group whom I’ll be
receiving critical feedback from in my class,butalso because this is an age at which this group can be
considered as young professionals ofthe media world,who could reallyutilise the affordable technology
reviewed in this magazine for their amateur work.On top of this my primarygender demographic will lean
more so to the masculine side,seeing as its easier for myselfto appeal to a group closer to my own
specifications.That’s notto say females are at all excluded from the conversation,however If these products
appeal to myselfI would believe they would also appeal to people similar to myself,therefore I decided upon
said gender in closer similarityto my own. Leading on from this,the social status Iwish to aim my product
towards are the middle class,seeing as the products I’ll be reviewing will be in the price range of this specific
group.Whereas such products will be far harder to attain for the working class with a lesser income and the
upper class won’tbe looking for affordable technologyof which I’ll be reviewing, but rather they’ll be after far
more pristine items which are notexactly affordable for a large percentage of main stream audience
members;therefore middleclass fits justnicelyin this particular category, with the products athand being
affordable to their level of social status. Finally,I believe this product would bestappeal to achievers,because
they show a willingness to educate themselves upon technologywhich would better improve their lives and
take them to the next level, where they can eventually upgrade their equipmentto fit their higher standards of
living, with this magazine merelybeing a gateway to reach this new level.
Rationale:
I’ve taken on valuable knowledge over the pastmonths,from both level 3 and level 2 in which I achieved a
distinction lastyear. From this I believe I’ve learned to sufficientlyadept myselfat managing an array of
editing software,from adobe premiere to the one which will be used to edita majority of this product, being
Photoshop. With these acquired skills Iwill be able to improve upon how my layered images flow in unison,
which will keep the imageryaestheticallypleasing to the eye and I will be able to neatly work around said
imagerywith the article itself,keeping the whole picture clean and simple.This simplistic elementis not easy
to create, yet through my acquired skill setI believe I can make this crucial feature work smoothly,which will
work alongside the ‘user-friendly’ design choices ofmodern manufacturers.
Project Concept:
The conceptfor my productis a tech magazine which speaks on technologyfor the everyday consumer (like
myself),with each piece of equipmentthat’s reviewed being in myown possession,meaning the honestyof
the review is automaticallyescalated to new heights seeing as I’ve used them myselfon an everyday basis.I
will speak upon technologyfrom both ends of the spectrum,from products which are essential in myeveryday
life, to ones which prove little to no use at all. Furthermore, I will include a section in which I talk about a
random,yet useful piece oftechnology placed in my household ofwhich a reader wouldn’ttend to expect,
improving on the surprising elementofthe magazine and somewhatdifferentiating myselffrom mainstream
magazines ofa similar calibre.On top of that, I will include mock-up advertisements throughoutmymagazine
making itappear realistic from an external point of view, which will in turn engross consumers in the product
even more so.I will also include an array of vibrant colours around the magazine,from the cover to the inside
spread,which will massivelyimprove upon the enticing factor of the product, giving those outside the
audience demographic a reason ofwhich to pick up the magazine.
Evaluation:
I will evaluate my projectby deciding upon elements thatdidn’tfunction in the way that I wanted them too, or
sections which took up a large portion of my time,which could have been used elsewhere and or structured
differently. From there I will make notes of these features,so when it comes to creating a product of a similar
concept/design in the future, I will be aware of what aspects work and which ones don’t. These gathered
editing skills will then translate over to future projects,which will in turn improve on how each turns out,
bettering my overall grades in the process.
