Why do African and Asian farmers need climate services? Asking them all one question: how does climate change impact your livelihoods? Your Ability to maintain a decent level of living and provide for yourself and your families? What I’ve heard from farmer testimonies and focus group discussions is that Farmers are already adapting . Faced with a more erratic climate, across Africa farmers are already devising innovative strategies and deploying tremendous efforts to cope such as walking longer miles to look for arable land and organizing community solidarity safety nets-akin to local insurance schemes, often also forfeiting meager household assets when shock is too great to cope with. However, there is a point where local capacities to cope fall short, and a little push is needed to get them back on their feet.
One of the ways in which I’ve found that we can effectively give this little push from the outside is through advance information on atmospheric and weather conditions and the state of the climate- to enable them to anticipate climate-related changes and hazards coming their way.

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.

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.

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.
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.

DAMAGES DUE TO MUDDY FLOODS
Need to set up measures of
protection
In France: 2 kinds of measures (at different scale and cost)
- collective measures : dams, land use planning, retention ponds, …
Public area
Private area - individual measures : reduced tillage, fascines, …
3. 3
1) Muddy floods in Alsace and their management
WHAT ARE THE FASCINES ?
Small protection made with woods / Setting up directly in the fields
and private areas
Their implementation need the farmers’ agreement and depend
on their willingness
How do the farmers perceive this kind of measure ?
SURVEYS BY USING
QUESTIONNAIRES
- To measure the level of knowledge (concerning the fascines) of the farmers
- To identify their willingness / reluctance to set up fascines
- To identify how we could improve the promotion of this system

2) Methodology of the surveys
WHAT KIND OF SURVEY? WHAT KIND OF ADMINISTRATION?
• 38 questions (20 minutes)
• Different kind of questions (classification, speeches,…)
• Pre-test evaluation (5)

- The setting up of fascines is quick : « emergency solution »
- High visibility of this measure:
«… it shows that the farmers have done something, that they are involved in
the management of muddy floods »

3) Results: willingness and restreints to set up fascines

THE MAIN RESTREINTS
- The lack of information for their maintenance
23 – Concerning the maintenance of the fascines?
You take care of it by our own 48%
No maintenance is necessary even if they have been used 32%
No maintenance is necessary because they have not been used 20%
You receive assistance to maintain them 0%
“We do not know who has to make it” They do not deny the necessity
“For the moment, the municipality made nothing for of maintaining the fascines, BUT:
their maintenance” Lack of information
“I indeed want to make it but not free of charge”
Fuzzy responsability
“Nothing says that it is under my responsibility”
12. 12
4) Discussion of the results and outlook
– The farmers agreed to set up fascines in their fields (emergency
measure, visibility and quickness)…
– … BUT their perception of this measure is little encouraging for future
setting-up (the fascines are binding and badly perceived compared with other
agronomic measures)
BUT some biases due to the questionnaire !
– There is a lack of information and communication concerning the
maintenance of the fascines
Outlook
The results are interresting for the local stakeholders (Chamber of
Agriculture and Departmental authorities):
How the farmers perceive the information campaigns ? And how it is possible to
improve them?
There are a lots of restreints in the setting up of fascines. How to remedy it?
