The document provides details about the Titanic, including its size, features, crew, and passengers. It sank in the North Atlantic Ocean after colliding with an iceberg on April 14, 1912, leading to the deaths of over 1,500 people. The wreck of the Titanic was rediscovered in 1985 by oceanographer Robert Ballard nearly 2.5 miles below the surface.
CAUSES:
MATERIAL FAILURES
DESIGN FLAWS
MATERIAL FAILURES:
When the Titanic collided with the iceberg, the hull steel and the wrought iron rivets failed because of brittle fracture.
. The causes of brittle fracture include low temperature, high impact loading, and high sulphur content.
. On the night of the Titanic disaster, each of these three factors was present:
The water temperature was below freezing, the Titanic was travelling at a high speed on impact with the iceberg, and the hull steel contained high levels of sulphur.
Material Failure
High sulphur content increases the brittleness of steel by disrupting the grain structure .
The sulphur combines with magnesium in the steel to form stringers of magnesium sulphide, which act as "highways" for crack propagation.
Charpy test is used to measure the brittlness of a material.
A cigarette-sized coupon of steel taken from the Titanic wreck and a piece of modern high quality steel.
Design Flaws:
Although the compartments were called watertight, they were actually only watertight horizontally; their tops were open and the walls extended only a few feet above the waterline
. Some of the scientists studying the disaster have even concluded that the watertight compartments contributed to the disaster by keeping the flood waters in the bow of the ship.
Design failure:
If there had been no compartments at all, the incoming water would have spread out, and the Titanic would have remained horizontal.
The part of north atlantic ocean which is surrounded by three island have a mysterious thing that yet not resolve by the science its like that nature challenging science and its student to find out the rule of nature.

INTRODUCTION
Attention Getter: An American writer named Morgan Robertson once wrote a book called
The Wreck of the Titan. The book was about an “unsinkable” ship called the Titan that set sail
from England to New York with many rich and famous passengers on board. On its journey,
the Titan hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sunk. Many lives were lost because there
were not enough lifeboats. So, what is so strange about this? Well, The Wreck of the Titan
was written 14 years before the Titanic sank.
Relevance: The sinking of the Titanic was one of the largest non-war related disasters in
history, and it is important to be knowledgeable about the past. By informing you of this
disaster, I hope to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of Quality
Education.
Credibility Statement: I have been fascinated by the history of the Titanic for as long as I can
remember. For this speech, I have read and studied my collection of books about the Titanic
and have accessed many credible articles through the MDC databases.
Overview of Main Points: Today we will learn more about this famous ship.
• First, discuss the construction of the Titanic itself.
• Second, discuss the sinking of the Titanic.
• Finally, discuss the making of the movie “Titanic”.
Transition: From the disaster to the movie, the sinking of the Titanic remains one of the most
famous tragedies in history.
BODY
Main Point 1: The Titanic was thought to be the largest, safest, most luxurious ship ever built.
• First, at the time of her launch, she was the biggest existing ship and the largest
moveable object ever built. According to Geoff Tibbals, in his 1997 book The Titanic:
The extraordinary story of the “unsinkable” ship, the Titanic was 882 feet long and
weighed about 46,000 tons. This was 100 feet longer and 15,000 tons heavier than the
world’s current largest ships. Thresh stated in Titanic: The truth behind the disaster,
published in 1992 that the Titanic accommodated around 2,345 passengers and 860
crewmembers
• Second, the beautiful accommodations of the Titanic were corated and furnished with
only the finest items. According to a quotation from Shipbuilders magazine that is
included in Peter Thresh’s 1992 book Titanic, “Everything has been done in regard to
the furniture and fittings to make the first class accommodation more than equal to that
provided in the finest hotels on shore” (p. 18). Fine parlor suites located on the ship
consisted of a sitting room, two bedrooms, two wardrobe rooms, a private bath, and a
lavatory. The first class dining room was the largest on any liner; it could serve 500
passengers at one sitting. Her first class accommodations included a squash court,
swimming pool, library, barber’s shop, Turkish baths, and a photographer’s dark room.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.
