Christian prayer is not ritual, nor navel gazing, but entrance into the presence of the Almighty, asking him to move his hand to move the nations. A framework of process and lifestyle.
Multiple practices of a lifestyle of activist intercession. These are not rituals, but practices that undergird the reality of a relationship between our frailty and the infinite God who invites us into his presence and actions.

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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2. Scripture
Luke 18: 1-8
“Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to
show them that they should always Pray and
not give up. He said: "ln a certain town there
was a judge who neither feared God nor
cared about people. And there was a widow
in that town who kept coming to him with the
plea, "grant me justice against my
adversary." For some time he refused. But
finally he said to himself, "Even though l
don't fear God or care about people, yet
because this widow keeps bothering me, l
will see that she gets justice, so that she
wont eventually wear me out with her
coming". And the Lord said, LISTEN to what
the unjust judge says. And will not God bring
about justice for his chosen ones, who cry
out to Him day and night? Will He keep
putting them off? l tell you, He will see that
they get justice, and quickly. However, when
the Son of Man comes, will he find Faith on
the earth?”

9. Prayer, “The Desire for God”
“There was a young man who approached a hermit with this request: “Show me how
can I find God.” “How great is this desire of yours?” asked the saintly man. “More than
anything in the world,” came the reply. The hermit took the young man to the shore of
a lake and they waded into the water until it was up to their necks. Then the Holy man
put his hand on the other’s head and pushed him under water. The young man
struggled desperately, but the hermit did not release him until he was about to drown.
When they return to the shore, the saint asked, “Son, when you were under water,
what did you want more than anything in the world? “Air”, he replied without
hesitation. “Well, then, when you want to find God as much as you just then wanted
air, your eyes will be open to the wonder of God”

Christian prayer: it is an encounter between
God and man. In blessing, God's gift and
man's acceptance of it are united in dialogue
with each other. The prayer of blessing is
man's response to God's gifts: because God
blesses, the human heart can in return bless
the One who is the source of every blessing.”
12. What is a prayer of Praise?
Psalm 33
“Sing joyfully to the Lord, you
righteous;
It is fitting for the upright to praise him.
Praise the Lord with the harp;
Make music to him on the ten-stringed
lyre.
Sing to him a new song;
Play skillfully, and shout for joy.”

On this year’s Ash Wednesday
message (2008). Pope Benedict XVI
called prayer the “engine of the
world”.

with God, and without this our interior
dialogue becomes a monologue, giving
rise to thousands of self-justifications.
Prayer, therefore, is a guarantee of being
open to others. True prayer is the engine
of the world, because it keeps us open to
God. Without prayer, there is not hope,
just illusion, which induces us to escape
from reality".
