HELIOTHERAPY Helio-means sun and therapy means treatment. The use of natural sunlight for therapeutic purposes is better known as heliotherapy.
Heliotherapy is defined as the treatment of disease by exposing the body to sunlight It is the treatment by means of Sun’s electromagnetic waves
The use of sunlight is prevalent since the times of ancient Greeks and Romans. In modern days, persons can be seen taking sunbaths at the beaches in the coastal regions. Heliotherapy is effective in the treatment of psoriasis and other skin conditions as the sunrays emit ultraviolet radiations.

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.

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.

STEAM BATHS OR SAUNAS BY J.

Against it was constructed a fire-
place, and the blaze warmed the
adjacent wall of the bath-house until
it glowed red-hot. At this stage, the
bather crept into the house and threw
water onto the hot wall until the
interior was filled with steam.

The metal stove with stones on top is heated with birch wood
fire, and this heats the sauna room to the required temperature
4. the electric sauna stove, was introduced on 11 May 1951
by Johannes Säubel in Helsinki
5. Types of Saunas
Pre-Built/Pre-cut Saunas (electrical)
Portable and pre-built saunas are the easiest to install. Both are modular units that
come in 5 major pieces (two side walls, back wall, front wall with pre-cut door, and
ceiling). Even a 2 or 4-person sauna can be installed by one individual in an hour or
two, and the installation requires only a few simple tools.
Because prefabs are easy to install, they are also portable: they can be installed
anywhere there is access to electrical service.
6. Infrared Saunas
Instead of heating the air around like a
normal sauna, infrared rays directly
heat the body tissue below the skins
surface, allowing to sweat out toxins
(among other benefits) instead of
indirectly heating the body like a
normal sauna…
7. Wet & Dry Saunas
A sauna that uses a wood burning stove, or a
more modern electric stove can be used as a
wet or dry sauna. The difference will depend on
the temperature and humidity inside. Wet
home saunas are often called steam saunas.
Most saunas today use a heater and some type
of volcanic rocks. In both cases, the rocks are
heated to a high temperature. The main
difference between a wet and dry sauna is the
water that is splashed over the rocks in a sauna
that is wet. Because the rocks are heated to
such an extreme temperature, the water
vaporizes very quickly causing steam to form.
In a dry sauna, there is no water, just heated
rocks.
10. Portable Bag Saunas
Only neck and parts of the
body under the neck are
being heated.
11. “Inipi”, a sweat lodge in
which hot stones were
used to generate the
necessary heat.
Inspired by this ancient
form of sauna, the
EOOS design team
developed an
innovative sauna
concept for Duravit
13. Sauna Heater
Most important element in the sauna room and
it is responsible for vaporizing water into steam.
Sauna Heater varies in shape and size to fit
different sauna uses, rooms, uses …. etc
14. How it works?
The stove heats the
rocks above it then
water is poured on the
rocks to be turned into
steam inside the sauna
room
15. Types
Wood burning Sauna stoves
Electricity-powered sauna
stoves, perfect for small spaces as
it takes little sauna room space
Propane/Natural Gas-powered
stoves, Have larger rock tray for
higher steam output Wood burning heater
17. Woodburning sauna heaters have
much hotter surface temps, so they
don’t typically use a heater guard
and usually require a brick or stone
wall inlay near heater to act as a
heat shield.
18. Rocks
Used to store much heat to be used in
vaporizing water when poured, Rocks must be
replaced every year OR 500 hours of use.
19.
20. The heater must be placed
on a concrete-like base. In
case of wood finishing, It
must be placed on a brick
base with 30cm offset
around the heater base
covered with a 2mm steel
sheet.
21. In case of brick walls, The heater must be placed
around 2”/5cm apart from the wall and in case of
wooden walls the distance is no less then 50cm.
22. The heater is also connected to chimney from
brick or metal to emit the smoke (produced
from burning) outside. Chimney pipe
diameter is no less than 4”>
Chimney-roof
connection
23.
24. Vents & Air Circulation
Ventilation in a sauna room is extremely
important to achieve the utmost in satisfaction
and pleasure. It will also speed up the preheating
of the sauna room.
Lack of fresh air results in the difficulty in
breathing or burning of the skin.
The expended hot air in the sauna contains less
oxygen than the denser atmosphere outside.
Bathers sometimes experience faintness unless
the air is changed regularly.
Normally two ventilators are built into the walls
Very large rooms may have to use mechanical air
exchange - a suction fun removes air from room
causing a low-pressure sucking fresh air in
through the intake vent.
25. Traditional air ventilation mechanical ventilation
natural air circulation is achieved when lead the incoming air 500 mm above
fresh air is led in at floor level near the the stove where it will blend with
the air rising from the stove. As a
stove and led out as far from the stove result, sufficient circulation of air is
as possible, near the ceiling created in the sauna room. Exhaust
air is led out mechanically at floor
level, for instance under the
benches
26. Sauna Foil Vapor Barrier
the Aluminum foil
vapor barrier and the
insulation to keep the
heat inside the sauna.
A layer of special high
temperature
aluminum foil vapor
barrier must be used
to prevent moisture
from collecting in the
sauna walls and also
to reflect heat back
into the sauna.
