The document provides information on severe weather safety and encourages becoming a storm spotter to help the National Weather Service (NWS) provide accurate warnings. It notes that spotters are needed to report ground truth observations to bridge the gap between radar and actual conditions. Spotters can help reduce injuries and deaths from severe weather by assisting the NWS warning process.

An overview of the scientific evidence that climate change is occurring, and what was normal in the past is not going to be normal for the future. Recent extreme-weather events -- snowstorms, last summer's derecho, and two severe hurricanes in the space of just over a year, are harbingers of more to come. Because the future will be different, we must use future-based modeling rather than historical data to prepare.
Dealing with Mother Nature's Attitude Problem - v.17Brian Gongol
Whether you believe in anthropogenic climate change or not, there are far more than enough weather-related surprises to go around. And one of the best ways to prepare for them is to be aware of the full spectrum of possibilities using the tools already built for climate-change forecasting. Water-sector utilities should be especially alert to these needs, since water and wastewater are absolutely essential services -- and they're frequently located in places at the greatest risk from surprise weather outlier events.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A loosely organized group of volunteers who
provide ground truth severe weather
information to the NWS, often in real time.
Every NWS depends on spotter groups for
information – including hail reports, wind
reports, tornadoes, and damage assessment.
The Paducah, KY NWS Depends on YOU and YOUR reports!

NWS stands for National Weather Service
105. When reporting hail size…
Compare hail size to coins!
Try to avoid saying “marble size hail” – the reason for this
Is because marbles come in many sizes.
106. When reporting a tornado…
Remember that it must be rotating in order for it
to be a tornado!
A funnel cloud is a rotating column of air that is not
touching the ground.
Once it touches the ground – THEN it is a tornado
107. What we need most from you…
Wind damage reports…
Trees down – size of trees – trees blocking roadways
Large branches – size of branches if possible
Power lines downed by high winds
Power poles snapped by high winds
Hail – nickel size or greater
Hail covering the ground
Hail causing damage to structures or windows/windshields
108. What we need most from you…
Structural damage…
Windows blown out of houses or businesses
Damage to property – including roofs blown off buildings
(be as specific as possible – if it just a few shingles off a
business or house then say that)
Semi-trucks blown over
Vehicles blown off the road
Barns blown down
Outbuildings damaged
109. What we need most from you…
Flash flooding
Is the water swift?
Are roads being closed because the water is rising
and covering them?
Vehicles swept off the road?
Are there any injuries or missing people?
110. If you are experiencing quarter size or larger
hail – report it
If trees and large limbs are being blown
down – report it
If you see a tornado - it is rotating – then
report it
Significant flash flooding – report it
We need more spotters!
121. I am going to teach you
how to be INFORMED!
Knowledge
122. When you leave here you
should have a better
understanding of…
How the process works
Organized way to view information
to help keep your family safer!
Knowledge
123. Weather may seem chaotic
BUT – forecasters do a great
job of giving you at least a heads
up as to when severe storms may
occur…
Knowledge
124. Not perfect…
Forecasters are not perfect and
there will be times when warnings
are missed…
Knowledge
125. HOWEVER…
We usually do have
a decent handle on when
a weather setup may produce
severe storms…
Knowledge
126. First I want to remind you the
difference between a WATCH
and a WARNING
Knowledge
127. Tornado and Severe
Thunderstorm WATCHES…
Watches mean stay alert
and monitor for updates…
128. Tornado and Severe
Thunderstorm WARNINGS…
Warnings mean TAKE
ACTION…
Seek shelter when warnings are issued…
130. Each day there is a process
to learning whether or not
we have a threat for severe
storms.
Your handout has those steps
to help you make decisions!
131. Step 1
Check the National Weather
Service web-site
YOUR NWS Office is located
In Paducah, Kentucky!
155. CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
Is a fancy name for
Thunderstorm Outlook!
Check it daily – more than once!
156. Convective Outlooks
FOUR RISK LEVELS!
GENERAL thunderstorms
SLIGHT risk for severe storms
MODERATE risk for severe storms
HIGH risk for severe storms
Check it daily – more than once!
165. Storm Prediction Center (SPC)
FOUR RISK LEVELS!
GENERAL thunderstorms
SLIGHT risk for severe storms
MODERATE risk for severe storms
HIGH risk for severe storms
Check it daily – more than once!
166. Storm Prediction Center (SPC)
Do not get hung up on the word
SLIGHT RISK!
It means severe thunderstorms are likely
to occur but should be scattered in nature
Check it daily – more than once!
167. May 23, 2011 – SPC started with slight risk a few days in advance
Issued May 23rd
Example
168. Then SPC upgraded to a moderate risk
Issued May 24th
Upgraded to a moderate
169. Then finally a high risk was outlined
Issued May 25th
Then upgraded to a high risk
199. What is the definition of a
SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM?
200. Severe Thunderstorm Definition
2 Parts – HAIL and WIND
Hail 1” or larger
OR
Winds of 58 MPH or greater
Or a tornado
Severe Thunderstorms Have A Definition!
