Sustainability is about preserving natural resources for future generations. It involves carefully using resources, considering material usage, production methods, and disposal. Sustainability can be achieved through recycling materials, using renewable and biodegradable materials, reducing pollution in production, utilizing clean and renewable energy sources like solar and wind, reducing waste, and properly disposing of materials through recycling.
Recycling is a process to change (waste) materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from land filling) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic production

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a disease in
which a waxy substance called plaque (plak) builds up inside the coronary
arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle.
When plaque builds up in the arteries, the
condition is called atherosclerosis
(ATH-er-o-skler-O-sis). The buildup of plaque occurs over many years. Over time, plaque can harden or rupture
(break open). Hardened plaque narrows the coronary arteries and reduces the
flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart. If
the plaque ruptures, a blood clot can form on its surface. A large blood clot
can mostly or completely block blood flow through a coronary artery. Over time,
ruptured plaque also hardens and narrows the coronary arteries. If the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your
heart muscle is reduced or blocked, angina
(an-JI-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) or a heart attack
can occur.
Angina is chest pain or discomfort. It may
feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest. The pain also can occur in your
shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. Angina pain may even feel like
indigestion.
A heart attack occurs if the flow of
oxygen-rich blood to a section of heart muscle is cut off. If blood flow isn’t
restored quickly, the section of heart muscle begins to die. Without quick
treatment, a heart attack can lead to serious health problems or death.

Sustainopreneurship: Recycling & Common myths of IncinerationJameela Al Mohanna
Common myths of Incineration (waste to energy)
Lack of proper waste management and recycling depletes the Earth’s already limited resources and increases our dependency on landfill or is irresponsible incinerated. These outdated strategies contribute to climate change and continue to cause environmental degradation and health issues for the Bahraini population. Despite many efforts being made globally to decrease the amount of trash being emitted per person or business, Bahrain’s trash emission has only been
increasing The objective is to change your approach to trash through the promotion of recycling and responsible consumption whether it’s shifting one's everyday habits or laying the foundation for sustainopreneurship!

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.
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.

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.

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”.
2. Introduction
• Most of us are aware that we must look after
our environment or we maybe leaving a lot
of problems for future generation.
• For example we should not waste materials
or energy. We should also recycle things like
paper, drink cans and other materials
• However, there is much more we can do to
protect and preserve our environment.
3. What is Sustainability?
• Sustainability is about preserving the Earth's
natural resources.
• It is about using these resources carefully so
that they will be available for generations to
come. You can help to preserve the
• Earth's resources when designing products by
considering:
– materials usage
– production methods
– after-use disposal
4. Material Usage
• The source of most of the materials we use
today comes from nature. Some sources are:
– trees, which we can obtain wood from
– ores, which we can extract metals from
– oil , which we can use to make plastics
• Some sources have taken millions of years to
develop and cannot be renewed once they are
used up. Thus, you must be conscious of the
materials you choose and use to help in
preserving the Earth's resources.
5. Recycled Materials
• Making new products from used materials
is called recycling.
• Designers often choose recycled materials for
new products so that the Earth's resources are
preserved.
6. Renewable Sources
• Exotic wood , like rosewood and teak, may look
good but the trees that produce them are in
danger of becoming extinct. Thus, designers
nowadays avoid using rare and exotic woods.
• Some wood come from trees that are common
and grow quickly. These trees
are renewable source of wood.
This means that new wood is
“grown” at the same rate or
faster than it is being used.
7. Biodegradable Materials
• Some materials are designed to break down
safely into the raw materials of nature when
they are left out in the open. These are called
biodegradable materials.
• Products made from
these materials
eventually disintegrate
and pose less litter
problems.
8. Production Method
• During the manufacture of some materials like
metals and plastics, harmful substances can
sometimes be released into the environment.
• Many countries have legislation to minimise these
emissions. Therefore, designers should focus on
ideas and products that require less harmful
chemicals and processes in making them. They
should also design products with energy
conservation in mind.
9. Minimise Pollution
• Many factories use machines' powered by fossil fuels such as
coal , oil or gas. These fuels can produce harmful gases
and chemicals that pollute the environment.
• Scientists believe that the use of fossil fuels is partly to
blame for global warming. The gases produced trap the
sun's energy like a big greenhouse,
heating up the Earth .
• As the temperature of the Earth
increases, this alters the weather
patterns or climate. Some parts of
the world are getting much more
rain than ever before, while other
parts are becoming drier.
10. Use Clean Energy
• To help reduce global warming, we need to use alternatives to
fossil fuels. Natural energy is one alternative that does not produce
harmful gases or chemicals and is safe for the environment. It is
also known as clean energy.
• Some machines are powered by clean energy. In some countries,
windmills make use of wind power to grind flour and water wheels
make use of energy from running water to power machines in textile
mills.
• Vehicles powered by clean energy
are becoming popular. Instead of
using petroleum, these 'green' cars
are powered by clean energy source
such as hydrogen, thus producing
little or 110 harmful exhaust gases.
11. Use Renewable Energy
• Fossil fuels are not renewable; once they are used, they
will be gone forever. Some energy sources will always
be available; they are called renewable energy sources.
Examples of renewable energy are energy from the Sun
and wind.
• Energy from the Sun is called solar energy. Solar energy
is converted into electricity using a solar panel.
• Solar panels work in all kinds of conditions (from
cloudy skies to bright sunshine) as long
as there is sunlight. So, in order to have
electricity available at night, the energy
from the Sun must be stored during the
day. The usual storage device is a
rechargeable battery.
12. Energy from the Wind
• Energy from the wind is converted into electricity
by a wind turbine.
• The wind turbine is a tall tower with a large
propeller on the top .
• Large wind turbines can power
our homes and factories
13. Reducing Waste
• You can do your bit to preserve resources by
salvaging parts from
• old products, such as wood from furniture or
motors from old toys for
• your projects.
• Some products are now designed in reusable
packaging to cut down
• on waste. The refills use less material than the
original product.
14. Reducing Waste
• Another way to conserve the Earth's resources is by reducing
wastage during the manufacture of products. You can avoid
wastage by:
– setting out clear material specifications
– marking out materials carefully
– using off-cuts of materials or using reclaimed materials where
possible
• For example, at your school workshop, you should mark
out your materials carefully before cutting them. This
will reduce material wastage.
15. After-use Disposal
• You must be conscientious in the way you dispose
of materials as it will affect the environment.
• As mentioned in the previous section, products
made from biodegradable materials would not
cause litter problem. Also, products that are
reusable or refillable help minimise the problem
of litter.
16. Recycling
• When you no longer need a product, recycle
it instead of just throwing it away. In this
way, the materials can be used again to
make other products. There are recycling
bins in many places for different materials to
make it convenient for you to recycle things.
