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.
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.

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. (or, how a young man
from Harvey, Illinois
made it to the NBA,
outwitted the Chicago
Bulls, and paved the way
for genetic privacy, only
to be undone by hubris)
Eddy Curry was drafted by chicago bulls in 2001– promising athlete “franchise player”
In 2005 playoffs in north carolina before a game with the charlotte hornets felt his heart racing – could it be HCM?
Caused alarm because in recent years two other players have had sudden bouts of HCM & died on the court
Spent months considering options - finally
Curry was sent all over the country to get tests, spent summer getting worked up – verdict: healthy, but…
When the next NBA season came around in September 2005, the Bulls offered Curry a new $5 million contract, with one condition attached: He had to test his DNA. he could take the test If he didn’t have the genetic mutation for HCM, he could take the contract and play with the team. If he did have the mutation, he'd have to quit basketball
As far as bulls concerned, he had 2 choices: take test or quit.
But curry’s deicison tree was actually different than that: he had a third choice – he could quit the bulls, if he could find a team that would take him w/o a DNA test.
Question for curry boiled down to privacy - & indeed raised broader questions about employers compelling DNA tests. No protections.
Finally he got an offer from the NY Knicks - $TK M & no test.
Seemed he’d outwitted system & triumphed
So here’s where he stood
Curry was an eater
His weight had ballooned from a listed weight of 285 to as much as 360 lbs – 6 foot 11 – but still – that’s big.
curry may’ve been minding his DNA, but he wasn’t’ minding the other component of his decision tree, a much larger component – his behavior.
In summer 2009, after miserable season knicks sent him to a fat camp – didn’t work, at end of 2010 season knee problems had benched him TK - result
GINA - -employers & insurers cannot demand DNA or discriminate on basis of genetic information.
