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”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.

The effect of pollution on marine biodiversity
CONCEPT 2 CONCEPT 3CONCEPT 1
1. Write down your topic in its
simplest form
Then break it up into CONCEPTS.
38. The effect of pollution on marine biodiversity
CONCEPT 2 CONCEPT 3CONCEPT 1
2. Think of KEY WORDS that
describe each of your concepts :
CONCEPT 1
POLLUTION
CONTAMINATION
SEWAGE
OIL
CONCEPT 2
MARINE
OCEAN
SEA
CONCEPT 3
BIODIVERSITY
39. 3. Construct your search strategy
Boolean logic provides the language you use to
structure your keyword search … the search
engine needs to know how your search terms
relate to each other
In Boolean searching, you make use of
the three Boolean operators:
AND OR NOT
40. Use AND to combine different concepts :
pollution AND ocean
41. Use OR to enter keywords for the same
(single) concept :
ocean OR marine OR sea
42. Use NOT to get rid of unwanted results :
cetacea NOT dolphins
44. ONE SEARCH BOX: Use brackets to separate your concepts
STRUCTURED SCREEN:
POLLUTION OR CONTAMINATION OR OIL OR SEWAGE
MARINE OR OCEAN OR SEA
BIODIVERSITY
(POLLUTION OR CONTAMINATION OR OIL
OR SEWAGE) AND (OCEAN OR SEA OR
MARINE) AND BIODIVERSITY
4. Type your search strategy into the
database search screen
