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

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.

2. Pupil Premium Research Report
University of Warwick
Ian Abbott, David Middlewood & Sue Robinson
3. Purpose of the Research
To ascertain what factors could be identified in the effective
use of Pupil Premium in outstanding schools in a large urban
LA.
To share knowledge and understanding of effective practice
from outstanding settings.
Key aims:
• Establish how the Pupil Premium was utilised in the school
• Identify the specific strategies used to bring about positive
benefits for pupils and the range of initiatives
• Evaluate the effectiveness and impact of the Pupil Premium
• Make recommendations for the future development of the
utilisation of the Pupil Premium
4. Methodology
• Semi-structured interviews with local stakeholders
who had been concerned with the operation of the
Pupil Premium and/or had an interest in its
development
• Interviews with heads/SLT in 6 primary and 5
secondary schools which:
– had a significant number - more than 40% - of
pupils receiving Pupil Premium
– had been designated as ‘outstanding’ at their
most recent inspection
5. Findings
1. High importance to all of aims and values:
• That the values embodied in the school’s ‘normal’ culture
should underpin the implementation of all initiatives such as
Pupil Premium
• That there should be a focus on the highest possible
achievement for every single child
• That achievement is valuable in itself not just for being ‘good
at schoolwork’
• That aspirations should be raised for the individuals, the
school and the community
6. 2. Identifying individual needs for targeted
interventions – ‘A relentless focus on pupil data’ and
‘those in danger of not making age related
expectations’
Examples included:
• Targeted teaching
• Additional resources as an intervention strategy
• Reading Recovery Programme
• Small group intervention
• Increasing staffing levels in classes for targeted support
7. 3. Monitoring
• Persistent monitoring was essential so that changing needs
were identified and actions and plans modified and updated
• It also offered evidence of impact of curriculum enrichment
• Ensured good value for money
4. Huge emphasis on basic literacy and numeracy skills at all
levels
• All schools reported strategies to improve literacy and
numeracy levels and all were confident that these strategies
were yielding positive results
• Importance of EYFS
• Early intervention was key
8. 5. Mentoring and tutoring
• All schools placed an emphasis on mentoring and tutoring in various
forms -cross-age and peer mentoring
• Stress on pupils receiving accurate and helpful feedback on their work
6. Targeted interventions
• Gifted and talented group
• Children with behavioural issues
• Children without access to computers at home
• School resource support for children in exceptional circumstances
• Community support for pupils and families who find it difficult to
access school provision
• Dual registration with special school to meet psychological needs
9. 7. Curriculum enrichment
Ensuring a curriculum which met the needs of the pupils
and was enriched through:
• Focus weeks- Extended curriculum weeks, diversity days
• Artists and experts coming in to school-Writers for World
Book Day/Actors for Theatre in Education
• Writing workshops/Maths challenge/Visits to local places of
interest- Art galleries for specific
displays/Museums/Houses/Local arts and sports
venues/Residential visits
• Lunchtime activities/Play leaders including training some
pupils to lead play/Sports coaches.
10. 8. High quality targeted staff training
This was essential and examples found included
mentoring of various kinds, giving effective feedback,
targeted teaching, support for autistic children and
literacy
9. Willingness to learn and adapt
Most schools explained how they had adjusted or
changed particular actions when they perceived they
were not working
11. Recommendations
• Use of funding should build on the key aims or mission of the school - should not
be viewed as a separate activity
• Funding should be used to support ALL disadvantaged pupils
• Gifted and Talented pupils eligible for the Pupil Premium should receive similar
levels of support
• Effective communication with parents about the strategies that are being
developed
• There has to be clear identification of the specific needs of the school, their pupils
and their community context
• School leaders have to accept when initiatives are not working and be prepared to
implement the need for modification, whilst maintaining core values of the school
