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.
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.
2. The Exam You will have 1 hr 30 mins for this exam There are two sections to the exam Section A (short answers on 5 areas) Section B (Responses to a stimulus looking at contemporary Media Issues)
7. The second question will require you to be more detailed in your response and give examples. Unlike your mock the questions in your exam WILL NOT be linked so the second question WILL NOT extend your first answer.
8. Format of the Questions cont... For each subheading you will need to answer on TWO different Media Industries so: Q1 you may answer on TV SO for Q2 you must answer on PRINT And VICE VERSA
9. Section A Subheadings Audiences and Media Products Ownership, Control and Finance Working practices and job roles Regulation and Ethical/Legal constraints Technological Developments What do they mean?....
18. Example Questions Suggest one primary and one secondary research method that a media organisation you have studied might use in gathering information on its audience (2marks) Is research important when creating a media product? Give two examples, one for each of the media industries you have studied of the kind of research that is undertaken. (4marks)
19. How to Answer Q1: This requires you to state the answers and is your quick response. There is no discussion unless it asks you to, generally it will ask you to identify an aspect. Q2: This requires you to discuss the issue. The example previously is misleading as it looks like it just asks for examples however what you are answering is the first part “Is research important when creating a media product? “ and then offer examples to support your idea. Be very careful when reading the questions.
21. Issues We’ve Covered: TV Scheduling Institutions design their days around their audiences. “In the Night Garden” wouldn’t be on at 10pm nor would a violent or overtly sexually programme be on at 4:30pm. Pilot Episodes BBC3 ran a series where they showed 3 Pilots of new Dramas and the public voted for their favourite. “Being Human” won and a petition was signed to get the programme fully commissioned by the BBC.
22. Issues We’ve Covered: TV Additional Channels Introduction of Digital TV (freeview) meant that the original analogue (BBC,ITV,CH4,CH5) channels could launch additional channels to cater for additional demographics.
25. Issues We’ve Covered: Print Circulation Figures Whilst these tell a lot about a number of other aspects such as technology they also tell us about how audiences are engaging with the Print industry. The figures suggest what trends are in audience consumption and which news papers are most successful month to month.
27. Issues We’ve Covered: Print Content: Each newspaper has designated Target Audiences and content is the key way of automatically reaching their audience. For example: “The Daily Star” aims at men and so it uses the Page 3 model and a focus on sports stories. “The Guardian” aims at those with an interest in current affairs and the arts and it therefore provides giveaways and offers which address these issues.
29. What does this mean? This question is about discussing how media is ran and funded. This takes into consideration the following things: Public/Private/Commercial Revenue from Advertising/investors/public money Integration (Horizontal/Vertical) How this affects the wider media market
30. Possible Questions From the media industries you have studied, identify two different types of media ownership, one from each industry? (2 marks) How might the ownership of a media organisation affect its output? Give two examples, one from each of the media industries you have studied. (4 marks)
31. Publically Owned Companies News Corporation is the world’s third largest media institution behind Walt Disney Company and Time Warner. It is ran by Rupert Murdoch and its shares are traded on the stock market which means that anybody can buy a share (if they have the money.)
32.
33.
34.
35. Commercially Owned Companies Commercial companies exist to make profits for their shareholders, and do so by producing media products that people want and are willing to pay for. In the UK broadcasting companies such as ITV or SKY make programmes and broadcast them, raising money to pay for them through advertising around the programmes. The content, style and amount of advertising is regulated by Ofcom.
39. BBC According to the BBC's 2008–2009 Annual Report, its income can be broken down, as follows: £3,493.8 million in licence fees collected from householders; £775.9 million from BBC Commercial Businesses; £294.6 million from government grants; £41.1 million from other income, such as providing content to overseas broadcasters and concert ticket sales;
40. ITV ITV’s funding comes primarily from its investors and advertising revenue.
41. Channel 4 Pays for itself in much the same way as most privately run commercial stations, i.e. through the sale of on-air advertising, programme sponsorship, and the sale of any programme content and merchandising rights it owns, such as overseas sales and video sales
49. News Corporation This is a Public Vertically Integrated Company which was founded by Rupert Murdoch. The funding for the papers ran by NC comes from within the News Corporation. Each Paper was originally independent and later bought by News Corp.
50.
51. Implications of Vertical Integration For the three papers owned by News Corp there are potential issues regarding circulation numbers. If one paper significantly outperforms the others then their funding may be in jeopardy. If the company goes bankrupt then the paper could be in trouble as it has no other support. The revenue from other ventures such as Fox Network will be put into the paper along with their own.
52.
53. The Guardian Media Group is a PRIVATE company owned by The Scott Trust. This is a truely unique form of Media Ownership. Rather than benefiting shareholders or a proprietor, GMG’s profits are reinvested to sustain journalism that is free from commercial or political interference
54. The Scott Trust The Trust was created in 1936 to safeguard the journalistic freedom and liberal values of the Guardian. The sole shareholder in Guardian Media Group, its core purpose is to preserve the financial and editorial independence of the Guardian in perpetuity, while its subsidiary aims are to champion its principles and to promote freedom of the press in the UK and abroad. http://www.gmgplc.co.uk/the-scott-trust/
55. Political Standing: Centre Left 48% labour readership Demographic: ABC1C2 Content: Full access to the Guardian website is free and all of their content is uploaded. They constantly report on other media institutions and should be your go to website for contemporary issues.
56. Implications of Private Ownership The institution has complete control over content and is not biased to any particular owner. If the circulation diminishes significantly profit falls and content may suffer as there is less money returning to the company. Stronger sense of journalistic integrity and ultimately respect from other institutions.
58. This is About Looking at what roles are available in the Media world and the progressions between careers It also asks you to look at the implications of working in the Media.
59. Potential Questions Using one Media Industry you have studied, identify and explain a job role within that industry. (2 marks) Why are freelance workers such a feature of the media industries? Give two examples from the media you have studied. (4 marks)
60. Implications Media is a very competitive industry and one which is very central to specific areas. It is also a very fickle industry whereby people and products can be dropped instantly. It is an ever changing industry where skills learnt in can be void within 6 months of learning them
61. There is little Professional Development/ training provided to ensure employees are up to date, it is up to employees themselves to learn new skills. Jobs can be lost instantly if younger or more specifically trained individuals come along.
63. This is about... How the media is held responsible for its content. There are a number of issues that affect media institutions such as access to content, age restrictions and politically correct terms.
64. Example Questions Identify the regulatory body from one of the media industries you have studied. You must name the industry. (2 marks) With reference to both of the media industries you have studied, explain why media regulation is important. (4 marks)
65. BBC Trust In summary, the main roles of the Trust are in setting the overall strategic direction of the BBC, including its priorities, and in exercising a general oversight of the work of the Executive Board. The Trust will perform these roles in the public interest, particularly the interest of licence fee payers.
66. BBC Trust cont... All Trustees are appointed by the Queen on advice from Ministers after an open selection process. Some Trustees are chosen partly because they bring particular expertise – for example, in finance or editorial matters. The Trust was established in 2007 and already there are calls for it to be disbanded as there have been a number of issues of concern.
67. BBC Trust Concerns Raised The Trust was heavily criticised in the popular press for its review of the amount the BBC pays for "top talent" and failing to answer whether stars like Jonathan Ross and Graham Norton were worth their large licence fee funded salaries. Ross is thought to have earned £6 million each year.
68. BBC Trust: Getting it Right Funded the iPlayer technology (which was the first online on demand TV service) Initiated a review of the BBC’s spending, in particular the £36 million overspend on the BBC’s website.
69. is the government-approved regulatory authority for the telecommunication industries in the United Kingdom. Ofcom was initially established by the Office of Communications Act of Parliament 2002. It received its full authority from the Communications Act 2003. Ofcoms' focus no longer includes some of the technical standards issues overseen by the previous regulatory agencies.
70. On 29 December 2003, Ofcom inherited the duties that had previously been the responsibility of five regulatory bodies: the Broadcasting Standards Commission, the Independent Television Commission, the Office of Telecommunications (Oftel), the Radio Authority, and the Radiocommunications Agency.
71. Complaints Against Ofcom Ofcom was criticised for incurring unnecessary expenses to the public purse with the use of "extravagant Thames-side offices" and a "top-heavy salary bill"
72. Press Regulation Print media in the UK are not subject to any specific statutory controls on their content and activities, other than the general criminal and civil law. In addition to codes of ethics, many news organizations maintain an in-house Ombudsman whose role is, in part, to keep news organizations honest and accountable to the public. The PCC serves to aid self regulation of the Press where the Editor has final say over what is acceptable content and how truthful that content is.
73. PCC A voluntary regulatory body for British printed newspapers and magazines, consisting of representatives of the major publishers. The PCC is funded by the annual levy it charges newspapers and magazines. It has no legal powers - all newspapers and magazines voluntarily contribute to the costs of, and adhere to the rulings of, the Commission, making the industry self-regulating
74. The section titles of the code of practice on which judgements are made are as follows: Accuracy Opportunity to reply Privacy Harassment Intrusion into grief or shock Children Children in sex cases Hospitals Reporting of crime Misrepresentation Victims of sexual assault Discrimination Financial journalism Confidential sources Witness payments in criminal trials Payment to criminals
75. PCC: Issues As of 12th January 2011, the Northern and Shell group (often referred to as the Express Group) of publications withdrew its subscription to the PCC. According to the PCC, "a refusal to support the self-regulatory system financially means that a newspaper publisher effectively withdraws from the PCC's formal jurisdiction, which the PCC considers regrettable". Consequently the Daily & Sunday Express, Scottish Daily & Sunday Express, Daily & Sunday Star, OK!, New magazine and Star magazine are no longer bound by the PCC's code of practice, and the public no longer has recourse to making complaints through the PCC.
76. In 2006, the PCC received 3,325 complaints from members of the public. Around two thirds of these were related to alleged factual inaccuracies, one in five related to alleged invasions of privacy and the rest included the lack of right to reply, harassment and obtaining information using covert devices. 90% of cases were resolved to the complainants' satisfaction. 31 of the cases were adjudicated by the Commission before being resolved as the complainants were initially not satisfied by the action recommended by the Commission.
77. In 2009 the PCC received more than 25,000 complaints, a record number, after an article appeared in the Daily Mail written by Jan Moir about the death of Boyzone singer Stephen Gately. Moir had described events leading up the death as "sleazy" and "less than respectable". Recently, many publishers have added clauses to the contracts of editors of newspapers and magazines giving them the option to dismiss editors who are judged to have breached the PCC Code of Practice.
78. Issues with Self Regulation News Of The World: Phone Tapping Scandal Paparazzi and the demand for exclusive celebrity photographs For the institution their reputation relies on the news that they produce and so it is in their best interest to be trustworthy.
79. Music Industry There are a number of legal and ethical issues surrounding the Music industry which is based in the development of the Internet. In 1999 Napster was created as the first peer to peer mp3 sharing site. In 2002 the site was declared bankrupt due to a succession of law suits from Recording Companies and Artists.
80. Music Industry Cont... The issue highlighted here is the affect of file sharing Music and how this can be controlled. It is essentially a case of theft, yet there is very little that can be done about this as as soon as one file sharing network is closed down another is born. Finally, who is the criminal in this case? The provider of the file sharing site or the person who downloads the file?
81. New Media The issues surrounding the Internet is that anybody can access it and there are no ways of knowing who is online at any time. There are constant cries for tighter regulation but anybody who can work out what year they would be 18 can access pornography or social networking. There is no concrete way of protecting young people online.
83. This Means... Looking at how different technological advances have changed media industries. This will include: The impact of the Internet on TV and Print The way new technology engages new audiences How technology changes content
84. Possible Questions Choosing one media industry you have studied, identify two technological developments which have had an impact on that industry. (2 marks) For each of the developments identified above, explain why they had such an impact. (4marks)
