We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.
2. Pronunciation
• "Pronunciation" refers to the way in which we
make the sound of words.
• To pronounce words, we push air from our
lungs up through our throat and vocal chords,
through our mouth, past our tongue and out
between our teeth and lips. (Sometimes air
also travels through our nose.)
3. Contin…
As well as creating correct vowel and consonant
sounds using the muscles of our mouth, tongue
and lips, there are other important aspects of
pronunciation, including:
word stress - emphasis on certain syllables in a
word
sentence stress - emphasis on certain words in a
sentence
linking - joining certain words together
intonation - the rise and fall of our voice as we
speak
4. Phonetic Chart
• This phonemic chart uses symbols from the
International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). IPA
symbols are useful for learning pronunciation.
The symbols on this chart represent the 44
sounds used in British English speech
(Received Pronunciation or RP, an educated
accent associated with but not exclusive to
south-east England).
7. Classifying the vowel sounds in English
• The classifcation of vowels is based on four major aspects:
• Tongue height - according to the vertical position of the
tongue (high vowels, also referred to as close; low vowels,
also referred to as open; intermediate - close-mid and
open-mid)
• Frontness vs. backness of the tongue - according to the
horizontal position of the highest part of the tongue.
• Lip rounding - whether the lips are rounded (O-shape) or
spread (no rounding) when the sound is being made.
• Tenseness of the articulators - refers to the amount of
muscular tension around the mouth when creating vowel
sounds. Tense and lax are used to describe muscular
tension.
8. Front vowels
(tongue body is pushed

Classifying the vowel sounds in English
10. Classifying the Consonants Sounds of
English
• According to the Manner and Place of
Articulation the consonants are:
stops, also known as plosives, fricatives,
affricates, nasals, laterals, and approximants.
Nasals, laterals and approximants are always
voiced; stops, fricatives and affricates can be
voiced or unvoiced.
11. Manner and Place of Articulation
Stops
/Plosives/
During production of these sounds, the airflow from the lungs is
completely blocked at some point, then released. In English, they
are /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, and /g/.
Fricatives
The flow of air is constricted, but not totally stopped or blocked. In
English, these include /f/, /v/, /ᶱ/, /ð/,
/s/, /z/, /ʃ/, /ᶾ/, and /h/.
Affricates
These sounds begin like stops, with a complete blockage of
air/closure of the vocal tract, and end with a restricted flow of air
like fricatives. English has two affricates - the /tʃ/ sounds of "church"
and the /dᶾ/ of "judge".
Nasals
Nasals are sounds made with air passing through the nose. In
English, these are /m/, /n/, and /ᶯ/.
Laterals
Lateral consonants allow the air to escape at the sides of the tongue.
In English there is only one such sound - /l/
Approximants
In the production of an approximant, one articulator is close to
another, but the vocal tract is not narrowed to such an extent that a
turbulent airstream is produced. In English, these are /j/, /w/ and
/r/. Approximants /j/ and /w/ are also referred to as semi-vowels.
12. The place of articulation
• According to the place of articulation (where
in the mouth or throat the sound is produced)
the consonants are:
13. Contin…
Bilabial: with both lips /p/, /b/, /m/
Labiodental: between lower lip and upper
teeth
/f/, /v/
Dental/Interdental: between the teeth /ᶱ/, /ð/
Alveolar: the ridge behind the upper front
teeth
/t/, /d/, /s/, /z/, /n/, /l/, /r/
Alveo-palatal (or post-alveolar): it is the area
between
the alveolar ridge and the hard palate
/ʃ/, /ᶾ/, /tʃ/, /dᶾ/
Palatal: hard palate, or 'roof' of the mouth' /j/
Velar: the soft palate or velum /k/, /g/, /ᶯ/
Glottal (laryngeal): space between the vocal
cords
/h/
