Suitability of Resource Management based on Supernatural Enforcement Mechanis...CIFOR-ICRAF
The local people living in the forest interior of Seram Island, east Indonesia, have divided the primary forest into many small hunting grounds. When the number of animals decreases, owners of forest lots can impose a temporary prohibition on forest use, known as seli kaitahu. The villagers believe any violation of seli kaitahu brings misfortune upon a violator and their family from forest spirits and ancestors. This presentation, given by CIFOR scientist Masatoshi Sasaoka at the 17th International Symposium on Society and Resource Management in Malaysia in June 2011, explores how forest game resource use is controlled through the interaction between people and recognised supernatural agents, and how such management practices are suitable to the local socio-cultural context.

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.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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. Camera shot and
Sound
The opening scene begins
with a wide shot of a boat
appearing through the mist. It
creates a sense of mystery as
all we see is nothing but thick
fog, and then a boat
appearing. This peculiar start
to the film is intriguing and
creates a feeling of anxiety
and uncertainty, and creates
disorientation for the audience
as they are not immediately
given a sense of location. This
makes the audience want to
see what happens next and
grabs their attention.
Also, deep, low orchestral
music is used to increase the
tension of what might happen
next and creates an unsettling
mood for the audience. The
dramatic music makes the
audience associate people and
places as to whether they are
good or bad by the tone/key of
the music. As well as being
able to change the audience's
mood.
3. Camera Shot and
Mise En Scene
The next shot is an over
the shoulder shot where
the camera has been
deliberately positioned to
reveal the character,
Teddy’s, reflection. This
shot could infer that the
character has
connotations of a split
personality as the
audience can see him
and his reflection. This
makes the audience feel
uneasy as the character
is now made to be
untrustworthy, even
though he is a Marshall
who the audience should
be able to trust. Also the
use of a mirror is a
key/stereotypical prop
within a Thriller film.
4. Silence
The use of silence before Teddy’s
flashback and when he is inside
the mental home for insane
criminals and makes eye contact
with the old lady with a slash mark
on her throat, creates a sense of
unease for the audience as it
heightens their senses as they
don’t understand why these
moments in particular have been
highlighted. It prepares them to
listen and pay particular attention to
whatever is about to happen next.
5. Flashback Duration of 11seconds (-1 second for present day
water clip ~ 10 seconds)
Dramatic music and fast paced editing
These screenshots are from Teddy’s flashbacks to when
his wife was alive. There is no diegetic sound to the clips
involving his wife, other than the clip of the water back in
the present day with Teddy. The non diegetic dramatic
music throughout the clip is of low key, suggesting that
what appears to be happy memories, are not. Making the
audience feel on edge, as they are not sure what is
happening or what might happen. Going back to the
screenshot of the sea water in present day, makes the
audience wonder if his wife actually died in a fire and was
killed by the smoke, or if her death had something to do
with water or drowning. This makes the audience start to
not trust him, as they don’t understand the significance of
the water and why it has been highlighted during Teddy’s
flashbacks of his wife. Also the fast paced editing to these
clips suggest that Teddy doesn’t want to reveal to much
about his wife, creating a sense of mystery and
weariness for the audience.
6. Mise En Scene and
red- Herring
This screenshot is taken just after
where Teddy has flashbacks to
when his wife was alive. Just
before Teddy comes back from his
flashbacks, we see a glimpse of
the sea water. This makes the
audience wonder if his wife
actually died in a fire and was
killed by the smoke, or if her death
had something to do with water or
drowning. This makes the
audience start to not trust him, as
they don’t understand the
significance of the water and why it
has been highlighted during
Teddy’s flashbacks of his wife. Just
after the flashbacks, Teddy also
asks for a cigarette as he seems to
have lost his. He lights the
cigarette, but only moments
beforehand he was talking about
his wife supposedly dying from the
smoke from the fire; this leads the
audience to not trust him even
more than they already do.
7. Camera shot and
Sound
When the island is finally
revealed through a wide shot,
the dramatic orchestral music
starts; making the audience
associate the island with
corrupt and terrifying thoughts
as the music is sudden and of
a low key
As they get closer to the
island the music becomes
more full and dramatic,
increasing the level of tension
and anxiety for the audience.
The music becomes more and
more intense as the audience
travel with Teddy from the
docks with the guards to the
first gates of the Criminally
Insane Hospital. The rising
symphonic of the dramatic
music as they approach the
hospital makes the audience
feel un easy and creates a
false sense of danger as
nothing actually happens, but
the music infers otherwise.
8. Sound and Mise En Scene
Exaggerated sounds of chains/metalic sounds
are emphasised from the very beginning on the
boat, all the way through to the chains around
the patients/prisoners feet and hands. This
emphasises to the audience that chains are a
key prop within the film and they connote being
trapped/imprisoned. Which could make the
audience weary and feel trapped.
9. Red Herring and
Camera Shot
A close up shot of the
Hospital Cemetery sign has
been used to clearly show
the quote “Remember us
for we too have lived, loved
and laughed”. This makes
the audience feel on edge
for what Teddy is about to
face inside the Hospital, as
we know this sign is
referring the past patients.
10. Mise En Scene
When the Prison
Officer talks about ward
A and B, we see two
ordinary looking
buildings of a red brick
colour. But when he talks
about ward C, the
audience see a longshot
of huge, grey building
that looms over the
hospital campus. This
infers to the audience
that Ward C is a horrible
dark place, as grey is the
dominant colour and it
makes them feel
uncomfortable and
nervous for the
characters as they may
venture into the building
later on in the film.
11. Red-Herring
This screenshot is from when
Teddy and Chuck arrive at
Ashecliffe Hospital for the
criminally insane and Teddy
catches this women’s eye who
acts suspicious and hand
signals Teddy to be quite
however we as the audience
and Teddy himself don’t know
what she is talking about and
leads us to think that this is a
red herring.
The camera angle in this shot is
a mid shot but she is the focus
point in the shot. This is
engaging the audience into
what she is saying to Teddy and
makes us think that she is
important in the story line.
