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.
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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
1. Analyze the Learners: My class is a 10th grade geometry class which consists of 17 boys
and 13 girls. In my 30 student class, there are 10 African Americans, 4 Asian Americans,
6Latin Americans, and 10 Caucasians. I also have 4 ADD/ADHD students, and 5
learning-disabled students.
State the Objective: After a discussion about surface area prompted by a podcast, after taking
notes about surface areas and following multiple examples on how to calculate the
surface area of various shapes, my students will propose dimensions, and calculate the
surface area of two structures on the Second Life world of STEM Island with at least an
80% accuracy. They will write a description (a summary of what they learned), and
rationale with calculations, of the assignment on their blog with a snapshot of both
structures embedded on their blog; my students will tweet me the URL to their blog
(@missccarrion). My students will also begin the Surface Area WebQuest today.
Select Methods: An original podcast will introduce students to today’s lesson about surface
area. I will provide some examples of calculating different surface areas (rectangular
boxes, pyramids, cubes, spheres, etc.). Then, my students will transition to the computers
and log in to Second Life. When they complete their Second Life assignment and blog,
they will visit my website for the link to their WebQuest and watch the YouTube video
for help on creating a scaled drawing.
Media: The lesson will need a computer, wifi/internet, and speakers to play the podcast.
All the students will need computers with wifi/internet to complete their Second Life
assignment, blog, begin working on the WebQuest, and watch the YouTube video.
Materials: Students will need pencil, paper, and calculators for calculations, as well as a
Second Life account and blog (via Google). The lesson will require the podcast and
WebQuest.
Utilize Materials: The class will listen to the podcast. After some discussion, my students
will transition onto the computers and log on Second Life. They will enter STEM Island,
and choose two structures to calculate their surface area. My students will estimate the
dimensions of the structure as if they were real, take a snapshot of both structures, and
write a description and reflection blog about the assignment. The blog will include a
snapshot of both structures. Then, my students will access the surface area WebQuest
from my website, begin working on their portfolio, and watch the YouTube video for
help on creating a scaled drawing.
2. Require Learner Participation: My students are encouraged to ask questions during
discussion. Second Life and the WebQuest require learner participation because the
students are actively involved in completing the tasks.
Evaluate and Revise: I believe this lesson is very learner centered. My students are
independently in charge of their pace to complete the Second Life assignment, blog, and
beginning the WebQuest. I wish Second Life would provide a scale for the virtual world
(and perhaps they do and I haven't seen it). If there was a scale, then my students could
use the scaled dimensions of the structures, and convert them to real-life dimensions
rather than using their estimation skills. I will assess the students' blog, and focus on the
students' rationale and calculations.
