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 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.

Enlightenment thinkers share a lot of things but the only thing
they truly believe in, is to believe in their own thinking .The
most common thing they believe in was intellectual powers of
man in capacities in determining what to believe and the way to
act. The Enlightenment thinkers were able to compete with the
authority of one’s own reason and skill. They support their own
idea and it could be described as a religion because they support
whatever the idea was even if it was against customs and
traditions. They believe the Enlightenment is for awakening of
one’s intellectual powers, which ultimately leads to a far better,
more fulfilled human existence.

Empiricists, the movement including bishop and Hume, which provided the
most opposition to the 17th Century Continental Rationalists. He argued that
‘every one of our ideas are ultimately derived from experience, and therefore
the knowledge of which we are capable is therefore severely limited in its
scope and certainty’. His Philosophy of Mind is commonly cited because the

was a "tabula rasa" (or "blank slate") which people are born without innate
ideas.

36. Immanuel Kant
Kant was a German philosopher who came from a family with a
modest background that would also be cited as poor (his father
was a harness-maker/saddler). his mother seems to have more of

coercion or slavery, stating that true political authority lies with
the people. He also upset the opposite major power of that age,

be one among the pioneers.
40. Voltaire
Voltaire has a distinguished place in the world because he was a
great symbol in the age of Enlightenment. A very prolific writer,
Voltaire achieved fame for his polemic satires and acerbic wit
(although he originally wanted to be a tragedian). He publicly
argued for freedom of faith and expression, the separation of
church and state, and wrote formidable attacks on the Christian
church and powerful French establishments. As his name
instantly evokes the battle against religious fanaticism yet the
love of tolerance and freedom of thinking.
