Storm surges are increases in seawater levels caused by intense winds and low pressure from tropical cyclones. They are the primary cause of casualties and property damage in coastal areas during tropical cyclones. The Philippines is highly prone to storm surges due to its location and extensive coastline. Storm surge height depends on factors like storm intensity, size, forward speed, angle of approach, and local geography. Preparing for surges involves securing property, creating emergency plans and kits, and evacuating if instructed.

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.

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.
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.

2. 1. Is an unusual localized increase in seawater level, beyond the predicted
astronomical tide level, primarily due to intense winds and reduced
atmospheric pressure during the passage of an intense cyclone from
sea to land.
2. Storm surges are the primary cause of about 90 percent of casualties
and damage to properties in coastal areas during a tropical cyclone.
3. The Philippines is highly prone to storm surges because of its location
near the equator in the Pacific region and due to the extensive length
of its coastline.
4. According to the World Factbook the Philippines has a total coastline
length or 36,289 km making it the fourth longest in the world.
5. Tsunami literally means harbor wave in Japanese, strictly speaking this
term pertains to a seismic sea wave.
What is a Storm Surge?
4. Difference between a Tsunami and Storm
Surge
● Can reach heights of
more that 10 meters
● Has longer wavelength
● Are formed when a
volume of water
● Arrival of tsunamis
typically range from
minutes to hours
● Can only reach tens to
hundreds of meters
● Normal sea waves reach
several centimeters to a
few meters
● The wavelength of a tidal
wave can so wide that it
may take as much as 24
hours to arrive
Tsunami Storm Surge
6. During a tropical cyclone storm surge level is also influenced by
atmospheric pressure. A lower atmospheric pressure results in a
higher storm surge level. Lowered atmospheric level and wind speed
are the major causes of storm surge formation.
1. Storm Intensity
A storm surge is mainly wind driven storm intensity which is related to
the wind speed of a storm, influences the amount of surge produced.
2. Pressure Effect
3. Size
A tropical cyclone with a larger diameter will form a higher surge
because the wind brought about by larger tropical cyclones push on a
larger surface area of the ocean and affects this area for longer
period of time.
7. The amount if surge formed is affected by the angle by which the
tropical cyclone hits the coastline.
4. Storm Forward Speed
A tropical cyclone travelling with a higher velocity will produce a
higher surge along an open coast. A slow moving tropical cyclone also
causes more destruction because a greater amount of rainfall is
dumped over the area which causes more flooding inland.
5. Angle of Approach to coast
6. Effects of the Earth’s Rotation
There is a tendency for ocean currents to be deflected as a result of
the earth's rotation. This is called the Coriolis effect.
8. 7. Rainfall Effect
Water levels can rise quickly in estuaries because large volumes of
accumulated rainwater from watersheds in higher elevation areas,
which are drained by rivers, encounter waters driven by the tropical
cyclone from the open ocean.
9. 8. Geometry of Coastal Area
Shape of coastline
Storm surge level is higher
when a tropical cyclone hits
a concave coastline.
Bathymetry
the appearance of the
ocean or sea bottom
resulting from the variation
in depth with different
portions.
Local Features
Local features found within
the coastal area may affect
the flow of water and the
behavior of the storm surge.
Topography
Wide low lying areas with
elevation of only a few
meters above sea level are
vulnerable to storm surges.
10. 9. Timing
As with the occurrence of a lot of other natural phenomena, timing
plays as an important role. When the formation of a storm surge
during a tropical cyclone coincides with high astronomical tide
resulting the surge is higher.
11. Storm Surge Risk Reduction Measures
Storm Surge Prediction, Hazard Map Preparation and Zoning
Construction of Storm Surge barriers
Wetland Protection
12. 1. Check your house and land for any potential dangers related to flooding.
Identify any vulnerability and repair it.
2. Sandbags are a valuable tool to prevent water from entering your home.
This approach requires specific instructions from your local emergency
officials.
3. Learn how to turn off the gas and electricity in your house. You may be
instructed by local authorities to shut these off.
4. If you live in an area that is subject to flooding, do not store your
important documents in the basement. Keep them at a higher level,
protected from flood damage.
5. Ensure that your family has an emergency kit and plan.
6. Ensure your emergency kit is portable, in a back-pack or suitcase with
wheels.
Preparing for a Storm Surge
13. 1. Check supplies including medications, radio,
flashlight and batteries.
2. You may have to evacuate. Keep your
emergency kit close at hand.
3. Make sure the basement windows are closed.
4. Fuel your car. If evacuation becomes necessary,
it will be hard to stop for gas.
If a Storm Surge is forecast
14. 1. Stay inside where you are protected from the water.
It's best to be on the downwind side of the house,
away from windows.
2. Monitor the storm's progress and listen for warnings
or instructions from local officials.
3. Before driving anywhere, listen carefully to rescue
officials who will be coordinating evacuation plans.
4. Do not drive through flood waters.
5. Be aware of risks such as hypothermia from cold water
or drowning from running water.
