Crimea, known since ancient times as "The Tauride", the name attributed to it, is the birthplace of such famous myths as those of Jason and the Golden Fleece and Iphigenia. Many artists. as Euripides, Goethe or Pushkin were inspired in this mythology to develop their world.
Experience the whole Montenegro in just one day! This tour offers you the possibility to get to know Montenegro and its four different geographical areas, from the blue sea to the high black mountains.
There are many deep and long canyons in Montenegro, but there are not many like Platije – canyon of the river Moraca, which is truly amazing.
There are some parts of the canyon whose rocks are sharpened like diamonds and are so polished that only lichens and mosses can live on them. The sun illuminates rocks of the canyon in so many ways that every time you pass it you can see different colors and shadows, immortalized in paintings of many painters - not only from Montenegro.
Tara River is the longest river of Montenegro (156 km). Tara River is derived of rivers of Opasnica and Verusa and of winter snow and seasonal rains, with its source in the foot of Komovi Mountains, and together with Piva River, close to the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, forms Drina River from Scepan polje. Tara River carved one of the deepest canyon gorges in the world which is 93 km long and more than 1300 meters high what make Tara River Canyon the deepest river canyon in Europe and the second deepest canyon in the world right after the Colorado River canyon. Protected by UNESCO since 1977, Tara River Canyon is one of the top 25 recognized world nature heritage sites, accessible for hikers and bikers. Tara River water quality and purity is so clean that you can drink water from it. All along its flow, the Tara River gets large quantities of water from numerous sources, and form breathtaking waterfalls and scenic cascades, whose roar is heard on the very peaks of the canyon. There are rocky and pebbly terraces surrounded with thick pine forests, sandy beaches, high cliffs, steep sides and more than 80 large caves along the Tara River Canyon.
Part of the river Tara, known as “Tear of Europe” runs through in the National Park “Durmitor”.
Two thousand magnificent kilometres of asphalt roads.
Exciting journeys through canyons, river and lake valleys and the shadows
of coniferous forest. Through medieval towns and scattered villages
and summer pastures. From a primeval forest to a sea of stone
and the real sea. From seagulls to eagles, or vice versa...
Montenegro is a true pocket dictionary of various concepts,
experiences, emotions, scenes, opposites and
extremes. Small and densely packed, such is the situation
here – for the reason that the space itself is compressed,
with everything else that goes with it. Sudden
take-offs into the chilly heights and fast landings
onto the Mediterranean. Landscapes that change like
in a motion picture. Vistas that open up and run away
somewhere behind the wheels. Sublime adventures
through canyons, river and lake valleys, through the
shadows of coniferous forests, scattered villages and
summer pastures. Friction against the hidden, narrow
roads. Rolling through the augury of different sorts of
scents, through the rugged rocks in which the flowers
bloom and through the meadows from which bluffs of
flowers and grass stick out, and then, without rest or
warning, decorations of infinite widths and open seas,
which tease and move the senses...
There are so many things here, and, with a little patience,
it could all be ironed out to match the size of
a decent continent. Is this enough reason for you to
decide to go for a nice adventure of discovering Montenegro?
We hope so.
We wish you a pleasant journey along these roads and
plenty of unforgettable memories.

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.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
1. “… and you have to see Transylvania- in late afternoon, and after the twilight! The deep forest, which grows the gigantic totem-poles. And you have to see Transylvania. Where old Europe has seen more watch-fires than peaceful daylights since our St. Stephen's time..." Bágyi Bence Jakab: To my Son . Travsylvanian moments (1)
14. The mountain-gorge at Torda is one of the spectacular hiking places of Transylvania. The “split in two” mountain is visible from great distances. According to scientific explanation the cleft was formed by collapsing a water hollowed roof of a limestone cave. The cleft holds several legends associated to Saint László, one of them is; the mountain split in two behind him, so the Cumanians could no longer pursue him. The Patkós- Stone bears the trace of his horse’s horseshoe. The cleft is approximately 2 km long, the path leads between limestone rocks (in some places 200 m tall ) on the alternate sides of the brook Hesdát. The path is connected by two little footbridges. There are also 32 excavated caves in the cleft.
21. Parajd Sóvidék (Salt-region) is the first settlement in Europe that was named after the vast mineral treasure it has. Parajd is the centre of this “big community”, the homeland of Transylvanian salt. At the junction of eastern brim of the Transylvanian basin and the Görgény snow capped mountains runs along Parajd, in embrace of salt cryistal-saturated brightly glittering rocks. Parajd is the last settlement in Hargita county, it’s immediate neighbour is Szovata in Maros county well known for its natural salt lake (Bear Lake). At the same time the region is known for its rich water-network. Here flows the Kisküküllô river that provided an inspiration to,Áprily Lajos, the village’s greatest poet. The Kisküküllô river meets at the feet of Harom mountain with the brook of Korond which broke a path between the salt-rocks. The name of the settlement PARAJD was first used in 1567 . The region was already known in the Roman times as salt-quarry. The underground extraction began in the 18th century, till than the surface mining was typical. The current salt-mine was opened in 1787.
26. The saint Anna lake is the single remaining intact volcanic crater in Southeastern Europe at the height of 950 meters over sea level at Nagy- Csomád. The evenly shaped circle-lake’s average depth is 4 meters. It does not have a source, in the spring the melting snow in the surrounding mountains ensures the supply of it’s water. In summertime it is full of bathers. On the shore of the lake is the saint Anna chapel, where an Anna- day fair is held every year, where designated Catholic believers pilgrimage in masses. The fair was held even in the Causescu (communist) regime despite the increased security check. Near by, in the Mossy-hag, a number of ponds can be found in the open flooded territory, and also some rare plants .
33. [email_address] Translated from Hungarian by T . (Orbán Balázs: The Transylvanian writing . II. 1869. 111) “ These snow-capped mountains may hide the greatest phenomenon, but certainly not a more attractive one. ."
