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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

2. INT. MENTAL HOSPITAL MAIN LOBBY - NIGHT
An old wooden door CREAKS open, CHARLES steps out of his
office and marches towards the front desk.
CHARLES
Fourth one this week, Fred. I think
we’re gonna need to check all of
the others, just to be sure.
FRED
Should I alert the, uh.. Y’know?
CHARLES
No, no, let’s keep this quiet until
we know what we’re dealing with.
Arrange for the patients to be
examined in the morning.
CHARLES turns around and walks sluggishly towards his
office. FRED looks down at the security monitor, his
expression turns to confusion.
FRED
Hey uh.. Charles? Come look at
this.
CHARLES
Huh? What is it?
CHARLES walks behind FRED’S desk and looks at the monitor.
FRED
Some guy, just... just walked out
of the cabinet in the storage
room...
CHARLES
Who is this guy? He’s not staff,
and he doesn’t look like one of the
patients.
FRED
I dunno man. I think you should
check this out, I’ll keep an eye on
the camera.
CHARLES
Nope, you’re coming with me.
CUT TO:
3. 2.
INT. STORAGE ROOM - NIGHT
CHARLES and FRED slowly open the storage room door with a
CREAK. As they enter, FRED flicks on the light switch.
CHARLES looks around.
CHARLES
I don’t see him. Check the cabinet.
FRED walks up to the cabinet and quickly pulls it open.
FRED
What the... Charles... I think I
know how that guy got in.
CHARLES runs over to FRED and looks into the cabinet.
CHARLES
What is this? Some sort of secret
entrance to a hidden room in this
building?
FRED
I don’t know. But I’m not going in
there. We can just lock it and tell
the higher-ups about this and let
them deal with it.
CHARLES
No, they probably know about this
already, they have to know! I bet
they’d fire us, or worse, if we
told them. I’m gonna go in and look
for that guy.
FRED SLAMS the cabinet shut.
FRED
No man, I don’t think you should do
it.
CHARLES opens the cabinet again.
CHARLES
I’m gonna go in, with or withou-
This is different.
CHARLES and FRED stare into the cabinet.
FRED
It didn’t look like this the last
time... Uh, close and open it
again.
(CONTINUED)
4. CONTINUED: 3.
CHARLES slowly shuts the cabinet door as FRED stares through
the gap, then pulls it back open.
FRED
What? How? It’s different again,
this new room looks like it’s made
of... Flesh..
CHARLES
That’s disgusting. Next room.
CHARLES slams the door shut and pulls it open again. A man
steps out of a room plagued with shadow. He is wearing a
black gown/robe, and a pale white mask.
The unknown man turns to FRED.
UNKNOWN
I sense it within you. I assure
you, my cure is quite effective. I
will fix you.
