The document summarizes the origins and history of contemporary street art. It began in the late 1970s in New York City as political propaganda and an expression of rebellion through vandalism. Key early artists included Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat in the 1980s who brought more than just graffiti to the streets. Modern street artists mentioned include Invader, JR, Blu, Banksy, Shepard Fairey and his Obey movement, who have continued using street art to make political statements and connect with the public.
Graffiti used to have a negative connotation to it, but it actually is art. From Banksy to Sever to Lady Pink, there are world-renowned street artists who have left their stamp on the world.
Cities such as New York, Melbourne and Moscow boast some of the most extravagant street art murals. It has become a cultural phenomenon and here are our favorites.

Edward Hopper: The Paris YearsFebruary 22 - June 1, 2003ﾊEdward Hopper was the J.D. Salinger of American painters, an extremely private man who granted few interviews. Much of what scholars know about his work comes from his wife Jo Nivison-Hopper's journals. Edward Hopper: The Paris Years, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art of New York, provides a tantalizing look at the early work of one of America's best known figurative painters. The exhibition of 45 paintings and 10 works on paper opens at Charlotte, NC's Mint Museum of Art on February 22 and runs through June 1, 2003. (left: Edward Hopper (1882-1967), Steps in Paris, 1906, oil on wood, 13 x 9 3/16 inches, Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, from a 1970 bequest from Josephine N. Hopper)Hopper said little about even his most accomplished paintings, believing the work should speak for itself. Scholars have been left to speculate on influences on his career, from his realist art instructors Robert Henri, William Merritt Chase andKenneth Hayes Miller at the New York School of Art to the psychological reaction of a young man raised in a small town coming to grips with isolation and loss of community in the urban modern age that was New York City at the turn of the century. The answer may be found in Paris, in verse rather than on canvas. (right: Edward Hopper (1882-1967), Notre Dame, No. 2, 1907, oil on canvas, 23 1/2 x 28 3/4 inches, Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, from a 1970 bequest from Josephine N. Hopper)Edward Hopper's early talent for drawing and painting was encouraged by his mother Elizabeth. The family's middle class concern for his future financial security influenced Edward to attend The New York School of Illustrating before transferring to the New York School of Art. Hopper would work more than fifteen years as a commercial illustrator, work that he despised. His skill at painting watercolors, however, is attributed to the years spent as an illustrator. He was able to master strokes with the brush and had a remarkable eye for being able to adjust a composition to where it would have the most immediate anddramatic impact on the viewer.After six years of study at the New York School of Art, Hopper left for France in October, 1906. His Paris studies coincided with an exciting era in the history of the Modern movement. Hopper, however, was untouched by Fauvist and Cubist art popular at the time, continuing instead to follow.

Chicago in the 1890s—Setting the Stage for the Renaissance
*
Historical significance of the World's Columbian Exposition
The second half of the 19th century was an age of fairs and expositions held in London, Paris, and other great cities throughout the world. The World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, was the first critically and economically successful U.S. world's fair. Conceived as a celebration of the 400th anniversary of Columbus' landing in the new world, the Exposition held a near-mythological appeal for people of the time.
The Columbian Exposition showcased a city just 60 years old, a city magnificently reborn just 22 years after the Chicago Fire. It also placed before the world the genius of Chicago architects Daniel Burnham, Frederick Law Olmsted, and Louis Sullivan. In effect, the Columbian Exposition was Chicago's debut on a world stage as a locus of great architecture and burgeoning economic power.

"The exterior of the gigantic bubble of glass and iron that rises over the central pavilion of Horticultural Hall has already been shown in these plates, and here we are admitted into the luxurious tropical garden that flourishes in the interior. Here in a great space of light and air may be seen a miniature mountain covered with strange foliage and with a little stream dashing down its sides, great tubs of palms and tree ferns, bamboos, century plants, "elk horns," a miniature Japanese garden, bridges and all, and shady, inviting nooks, in which the tourisht may find picturesque rest - much as the painter has here shown."

The Chicago Defender, 1905
The Chicago Defender, which was founded by Robert S. Abbott on May 5, 1905, once heralded itself as "The World's Greatest Weekly." The newspaper was the nation's most influential black weekly newspaper by the advent of World War I, with more than two thirds of its readership base located outside of Chicago.
As a northern paper, The Defender had more freedom to denounce issues outright, and its editorial position was very militant, attacking racial inequities head-on. The Defender did not use the words "Negro" or "black" in its pages. Instead, African Americans were referred to as "the Race" and black men and women as "Race men and Race women.“
During World War I The Chicago Defender waged its most aggressive (and successful) campaign in support of "The Great Migration" movement. This movement resulted in over one and a half million southern blacks migrating to the North between 1915-1925.

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.
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”.
