Los depósitos de las áreas de frente de delta y prodelta contienen una cantidad decreciente de arena hacia el mar y generan una sucesión grano-creciente durante la progradación.
Los depósitos de frente deltaico consisten en arena intercalada con barro, en los cuales el barro no tiene estructura y no es bioturbado porque fue depositado rápidamente por fluidos de lodo.
También es posible una sedimentación lenta y pasiva del sedimento de grano fino a partir de la suspensión.
Si la arena que se escapa de las barras distributarias en la boca del sistema, sobre el frente del delta es suficiente, contendrán estratificación cruzada en dunas
Las paleocorrientes dadas por su estratificación cruzada serán bimodales (en tierra y en alta mar), aunque tal vez con una dominancia hacia la tierra.
Arenas serán finas a muy finas y contendrán estructuras generadas por olas incluyendo estratificación cruzada “Hummockys” debido a la exposición directa a la acción de las olas.
Las ritimitas de marea pueden estar presentes, pero las sucesiones largas (más de unos pocos días) son improbables debido a la perturbación por las olas.
Los lodos prodeltaicos se bioturban completamente, tendran conjunto diverso de grandes burrows horizontales (Cruziana ichnofacies).

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.

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”.

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.

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.

Spanish territory also includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, the Canary
Islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the African coast, and two autonomous cities in North
Africa, Ceuta and Melilla, that border Morocco.
Spain is a democracy organised in the form of a parliamentary government under a
constitutional monarchy.

2. SAINT CECILIA’S DAY
22nd
November
Saint Cecilia (November 22nd
Santa Cecilia - Día de los Músicos) is the patroness of
musicians and Church music because, as she was dying, she sang to God. It is also
written that as the musicians played at her wedding, she "sang in her heart to the
Lord". Her feast day is celebrated in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Eastern Orthodox,
and Eastern Catholic Churches on November 22. She is one of seven women,
excluding the Blessed Virgin, commemorated by name in the Canon of the Mass. It
was long supposed that she was a noble lady of Rome who, with her husband
Valerian, his brother Tiburtius, and a Roman soldier Maximus, suffered martyrdom in
about 230, under the Emperor Alexander Severus.
Every year our school, San Juan Bautista, celebrates the Day of Saint Cecilia
patroness of musicians (22nd
of November).
This year Marcos Bárcena, one of the most well-known and important artist of
traditional music in Cantabria, has been with us to celebrate this day.
SPAIN - 2
3. Márcos Bárcena began his musical career at the age of 13 when he discovered the
music of the Beatles. He was a co-founder of some of the most representative folk
music groups in Cantabria as Luétiga and Atlántica.
He is a non-stop composer of songs of pure folk style; he has released more than
twenty albums and has been the ambassador of our music all over the world.
He currently teaches at various schools of traditional music, performs chatting-concerts
whose theme is the traditional music and continues to serve both solo and with
different groups.
Marcos Bárcena gave a didactic concert for Primary, Secondary, students of training
cycles and our European partners (Turkish, English and Latvian) of the Comenius
project who were visiting us at that moment.
SPAIN - 3
4. The concert was very enjoyable and consisted in a journey through the musical
tradition of Cantabria and the North of Spain in general. Marcos Bárcena acted with
more than ten different instruments like bagpipes, guitars, flutes, bodharán… in
addition to his own voice. He presented a chatting-concert making a journey through
time, touching themes specific to each station, completing the annual cycle of root
music. He played romances, marzas, etc. that students followed with full attention.
It was a great experience for all, something different for a special day.
CHRISTMAS IN SPAIN
22nd
December – 6th
January
The chronological order of notable Christmas events in Spain is as follows:
SPAIN - 4
5. Christmas lights are usually lit in the main cities in the first week of December by which
time the shops are fully stocked with Christmas supplies.
December 8th – This is the public holiday of Immaculada (Feast of the Immaculate
Conception) which marks the beginning of the religious Christmas celebrations.
Christmas trees are common at home, but again they don’t appear until the second half
of December. Also at home, there are intricate, miniature nativity scenes called
Belenes (Bethlehems) which depict life in the village where Jesus was born. The Belén
always includes the baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph, as well as the Three Kings,
Baltasar, Melchior and Gaspar.
22nd December – All over Spain people never stray far from a TV or radio as the
Christmas lottery is drawn over a period of many hours. Everybody buys tickets for this
lottery in the hope of winning El Gordo (the fat one). Besides the big three prizes there
are thousands of smaller prizes shared by people all over Spain.
24th December – Christmas Eve is called Nochebuena (Goodnight) and it is the most
important family gathering of the year. In the evening, people often meet early for a few
drinks with friends; then return home to enjoy a meal with the family. Most bars and
restaurants close in the evening. Prawn starters followed by roast lamb would be a
typical meal rounded off with a typically Christmas sweet called turrón, which is a
nougat made of toasted sweet almonds. Another typical festive sweet is called
Polvorón which is made from almonds, flour and sugar. Cava or Champagne would be
the chosen drinks for the Christmas toast though plenty fine Spanish wines will also be
consumed with the meal.
25th December – Children may receive a small gift on Nochebuena or this morning;
but the day for presents is 6th January, Epiphany, when the Three Kings bring gifts for
the children. Christmas Day is a national holiday in Spain, so shops are closed yet it is
not a day of great celebration but rather a calm day when people go out for a walk,
drop into a bar, etc. Another large family meal at lunchtime is common though it’s
becoming more common to see families eating out on the afternoon of Christmas day.
28th December – This is the day of Santos Inocentes (Holy Innocents) and is the
equivalent of April Fools’ Day when people play practical jokes on one another.
31st December – New Year’s Eve is known as Nochevieja (Oldnight). It is a big
celebration all over the country with street parties and special nights in hotels and clubs
everywhere. Until midnight people tend to stay at home and, on the stroke of midnight,
it is traditional to eat 12 grapes, one on each stroke of the clock to bring good luck for
the new year. In Madrid and other main cities revellers congregate in the main square
(Puerta del Sol in Madrid) and eat the grapes along with a celebratory bottle of cava,
then head out into the night until after sunrise.
1st January – A low key public holiday with plenty people sleeping off their excesses.
5th January – There are parades all over Spain this evening where sweets are thrown
from the floats to all the children who come out to watch. Every town has its own
variation such as in the Sierra Nevada where the Three Kings (Wise Men) can be seen
to ski down to the village.
6th January – This is the Feast of the Epiphany when the Three Kings arrived in
Bethlehem. For Spanish children this is the most important day of the year when they
SPAIN - 5
6. wake up to find that Los Reyes Magos (the Three Kings/Wise Men) have left gifts for
them in their house. Santa may leave them a token gift on December 25th but the
Three Kings are their favourites. During the day of 6th the Three Kings continue their
good work and are seen distributing gifts to children in hospitals all over Spain.
8th January – Two days after receiving their gifts children return to school, their
parents go back to work and Christmas in Spain is all over for another year.
CHRISTMAS AT SCHOOL
The beginning of Christmas celebrations at school began, as every year, with the
lighting of a Star. That star is shinning during all the Christmas period.
On Monday, the 19th
, every
section at school met to
welcome Jesus in the different
celebrations that took place. It
SPAIN - 6
7. was a celebration to look inside ourselves; to look for Jesus in our heart. He is our
inner light.
The symbol was a Star, the
same that guided The Three
Wise Men to Bethlehem when
baby Jesus was born. One
star per class, and inside the
big star there were dozens of
small stars stuck by the
children during the previous days: every time one kid brought some food for the “Food
Collecting”, a small star was stuck in the big one. After the celebration, every child
carried a bag full of food to “Caritas”, an NGO next to the school.
For the rest of the week, until the 22nd
December
(last day before Christmas holidays), there were
some more activities and gestures which reminded
us that Christmas is a time to share and enjoy.
Gestures of solidarity through the thousands of
food bags donated by the families, or through the
different visits to the Old’s People Home “Las
Anjanas”, placed in Corrales, made by the
Secondary and Vocational students.
SPAIN - 7
8. Gestures of affection like, for example, the visit that the oldest students paid to the
youngest ones to share with them some carols, sweets and laughs.
Gestures of creativity through the celebration of our Christmas Festivals: one for the
infants and another one for primary students, both of them to enjoy some time with
their families. The kids showed their artistic skills by performing some songs, dances
and parodies; all of them prepared with a mixture of joy and nervous to the families’
delight.
SPAIN - 8
9. THE SCHOOL DAY OF NON-VIOLENCE AND PEACE
30th
January
The School Day of Non-violence and Peace (or DENIP,
acronym from: Día Escolar de la No-violencia y la Paz), also
known as World or International Day of Non-violence and
Peace, is a pioneering, non-state, non-governmental, non-
official, independent, free and voluntary initiative of Non-violent
and Pacifying Education, founded by the Spanish poet Llorenç
Vidal Vidal in Majorca in 1964. He was
influenced by Lanza del Vasto, a direct
disciple of Gandhi. Del Vasto visited
SPAIN - 9
DENIP logo
10. Majorca about 15 years ago, and his book "Le Retour aux Origines" ("Return to the
Sources"), had an immediate influence.
Different as the first proposed by the UNESCO "Armistice Day" in 1948, the "School
Day of Non-violence and Peace" (DENIP) is observed on January 30th
or thereabouts
every year, on the anniversary of the death of Mahatma Gandhi, the great apostle of
non-violence, in schools all over the world.
It advocates a permanent education in and for harmony, tolerance, solidarity, respect
for human rights, non-violence and peace.
It is a practical activity which has neither official
programming nor structural lines of action, because the
message is one which maintains a permanent nucleus of
basic aspects, and permits the free application of each
educational centre according to its particular manner.
Its basic and permanent message is: "Universal love,
non-violence and peace. Universal love is better than
egoism, non-violence is better than violence, and peace is
better than war”. DENIP and World Association of Early
Childhood Educators (AMEI-WAECE) collaborate to
celebrate this event in the schools of the latter worldwide.
The "School Day of Non-violence and Peace" is
a seed which is planted and cultivated in the
hearts of the students. It is a bright, new and
positive way of looking at the world and
preparing for the future.
DAY OF PEACE – JANUARY 2012
The motto was
“Search for
your inner
light”, the
same that we
are using this
school year.
SPAIN - 10
GANDHI
SPANISH POET
LLORENÇ VIDAL
11. The main performance took place on one of the school patios. The whole school family,
students, teachers and families, took part in this celebration. One of our teachers
(responsible of the Justice Department), affirmed that “it was a wonderful day to
celebrate the Day of Peace, not to forget all those places where arm conflict are carried
out, which make the world seem to be a bad place to live in, as well as to remind us
that we all need to work together to achieve a global peace”.
Using lights and candles, we built the star of La Salle in the middle of the playground to
remind everyone about all the places where peace is still to come true.
DAY OF PEACE – JANUARY 2011
During the previous days and under the motto of “You build peace”, a wide range of
activities were carried out. We ended it up with a performance where all the school
sections (Nursery, Primary & Secondary Education and the Working Training Courses),
SPAIN - 11
12. presented a slogan which showed the commitment of all of us to build the necessary
peace. Right after that, we freed the messages tied to balloons, to share the message
with all our neighbours and the rest of the world.
All the participants (nearly 1000 people), were showing a picture of a hand with a dove
inside.
DAY OF PEACE – JANUARY 2010
The motto this year was “Friends and siblings for Peace”.
As a part of the activities, each student made a paper crane to
perform “The story of the thousand paper cranes” by Sadako
Sasaki.
It was a wonderful visual performance: while a girl read the story, a group of students
performed it.
SPAIN - 12
13. To bring the act to a close, we read our wishes of peace in every language spoken at
school. And we freed some pigeons, the universal symbol for Peace.

(Fiestas Colegiales San Juan Bautista)
15th
May
Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle or
John Baptist de La Salle (30 April
1651 – 7 April 1719) was a priest,
educational reformer, and founder of
Institute of the Brothers of the
Christian Schools. He is a saint of the
Roman Catholic Church and the
patron saint of teachers.
He dedicated much of his life for the
education of poor children in France;
in doing so, he started many lasting
educational practices. He is
considered the founder of the first
Catholic schools.
Every May, the whole school
community, students, teachers and
parents celebrate the Lasallian week.
It is an intense week, full of activities, games and excitement… Let’s see some of the

stands prepared for the children to have fun, such as: make-up, hairdressing, the
senses, elastic beds … and many others.
