The United States Constitution was written in 1787 in Philadelphia by delegates to the Constitutional Convention, including James Madison and James Wilson. It was written to create a stronger federal government and address problems under the Articles of Confederation, which gave too much power to state governments. The Constitution was modeled after the Magna Carta, the Articles of Confederation, and the Declaration of Independence. It established a framework of government with separation of powers and checks and balances to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. While some parts of the Constitution require modern interpretation, it remains relevant as the foundation of the U.S. system of government over 200 years later.

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.

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”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. What is the United States Constitution?
The Constitution is the framework that was to be used for the US
government, in order to make it run as smoothly as possible. It explains
checks and balances, popular sovereignty, limited government, judicial
review, federalism, and separation of powers. It also outlines ways to keep
everything in check and equal to everyone in the country.
3. Who? When? Where?
The Constitution was written in Philadelphia in 1787, by the Delegates of the
Philadelphia Convention:
Governor Morris of Pennsylvania, John Dickinson, John Adams Thomas
Jefferson, James Madison, James Wilson and more.
Note that all above worked on it and that the Constitution was not written
by one person only
4. The Constitution was written in order to accomplish six different goals. The
Preamble states these goals to create “a more perfect union”, “establish justice”,
“ensure domestic tranquility”, “provide for the common defense”, “promote the
general welfare”, and to “secure the blessings of liberty”. They wanted to accomplish
these goals for several reasons; to create a stronger relationship between the national
and state governments, to create fair and reasonable laws, to create and keep peace,
to defend against foreign attacks, to create a strong government that can protect the
nation, and to protect the liberties just recently won in the American Revolution.
It was also written to be the framework for the United States Government and how it
should work. It also explains the three branches of government: the Legislative,
Executive, and Judicial branches. And it explains how to keep the power equal
throughout.
WHY?
5. Events Leading to the Constitution
The American Revolution
The United States wanted to be free of King George III
The American Revolution really pushed the US into wanted to establish its’ own form
of democracy that would work well in their country. The Revolution made them
very weak, so change was needed. Many also wanted to be independent of Britain’s
King George III. During this time, the US gained many new liberties that they wanted
to protect, they wanted freedom and equal rights. Without the Constitution it was
likely that the government could suppress the citizens from their liberties.
Therefore, those who were in charge and wrote the United States Constitution
looked at Britain and the American Revolution to have a starting point in which to
create an equal society where nobody could have too much power.
6. What documents was the Constitution modeled after?
The Magna Carta, which outlined the liberties in England in 1215
The Articles of Confederation, which was written during the Revolutionary war and
served as the United State’s first constitution
The Declaration of Independence, written in 1776 declaring independence of the king
and stated that the US was now an independent nation
7. What problems in our society did the
Constitution solve?
The Constitution solved the problem of power. It showed a way in which
government could run with power distributed evenly in order to prevent any one group
or leader to become to powerful and possibly create some sort of dictatorship. The
Constitution solved this problem through the creation of the three branches of
government and creating the idea of checks and balances. Those involved in making the
Constitution found a way to make sure every right is protected and all people are equal,
including the president who has to follow the same laws.
8. LIMITATIONS
Some limitations that were created in the Constitution were created due to the fact
that some parts and points of it could have different interpretations. Therefore, it
makes it hard to create punishments or going against something that is considered
to be unconstitutional. In other terms of limitations, the Constitution, like
mentioned before, created different limitations on the government, that kept the
people in charge and prevented any one person from becoming too powerful for
too long. These types of limitations are completely different, one is sort of a
problem, the other an answer. The fact that some of the Constitution is open to
interpretations can create some problems today, especially in court cases, where
the judges have to use their interpretation of the Constitution and what is
considered unconstitutional.
9. How would I improve the US Constitution?
I’m not sure that I can really think of anything to improve the US Constitution.
Yes, some parts may be out of date, but that’s why there have already been 27 changes
to it. The Constitution was created as a framework for a reason, to be something that
can be interpreted in different ways, in order to work for newer generations. This
makes the constitution genius and therefore hard to think of what change could
improve it.
10. Is the Constitution as relevant today as it was when
it was first created?
I feel that the Constitution is as relevant today as it possibly can be.
Obviously it is not as relevant because it was not written during this time period, it’s
been over 200 years since it was originally written. However, I still feel that it is very
relevant because it CAN be modified due to different societal interpretations of the
Constitution and what it means. It is still used very much today because we still have
the three branches of government and keep the power equal between them and the
president and do not allow the power to get out of hand.
