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 âdistorted thinkingâ.
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
Â
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 Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs 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 Empireâs 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.

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 wasnât 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.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Â
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying itâs good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation thatâs least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state theyâre comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Defences To Defamation
1. Defences to Defamation
DEFENCES TO DEFAMATION: FAIR REPORT, CONSENT, APOLOGY
* WHAT IS DEFAMATION?
Defamation is a false accusation of an offense or a malicious misrepresentation of someone's words or actions. A man's reputation is his property, more
valuable than any other property. The existing law fordefamation is a reasonable restriction on the fundamental right of speech and expression
conferred by article 19(1) (a) of the Indian Constitution and is saved by cl (2) of art 19. The wrong of defamation may be either committed by way
of writing i.e. Libel or by way of speech i.e. Slander. There may be forms of Defamation that do not fall under Libel or Slander. A defamatory
statement is a statement calculated to expose a person to hatred, contempt or...show more content...
Innuendo is an indirect intimation about a person or thing, especially of a disparaging or a derogatory nature. The court in this case rejected the plea of
the plaintiff and stated that the plaintiff had agreed to run the risk of the particular form that the statement might take. In one case a school
superintendent was demoted and requested a statement of reasons from the school board. The school board did so in a confidential letter, which
included the allegation that the superintendent had taken part in distributing fake election flyers. Apparently the superintendent was not pleased so he
submitted the letter to a newspaper and the newspaper published the letter... The court held that plaintiff' consented to the publication of the letter.
Consent to a defamatory statement relinquishes all rights to claim damages. In the Simi Garewal v T.N Ramachandran, the Bombay High Court
dismissed the suit for injunction filed by the plaintiff from publishing her nude photograph in a film magazine owned by the defendant. The picture
was a film which was shot in India but did not release here and it was shown only in the United States. The Defendant's magazine proposed to publish a
color photo of it and the plaintiff sought an injunction restraining the defendant from doing it. There was an agreement between the producer of the
movie and the plaintiff

MEDIA LAWâ 2007
1. DEFAMATION
1.Why a law of defamation?
Every member of society has an interest in retaining his or her personal reputation and standing. All members of the community also have an interest in
a free flow of information and communication. There is a tension between these two interests.
The law represents a balance between personal interests in reputation on one hand and community interests in free speech and an uninhibited flow of
information and opinions on the other.
The law of defamation in Australia has, until recently, lacked uniformity. Given the advances in technology and the growth of national publications, the
pressure for...show more content...
It is not necessary that the plaintiff be named. The test will be whether the words would reasonably lead people acquainted with the plaintiff to the
conclusion that he was the person referred to : Knuppfer v London Express [1944] AC 116.
If a defamatory statement made of a class or group can reasonably be understood to refer to every member of it, each one has a cause of action. In
Pryke v The Advertiser Newspapers Ltd (1984) 37 SASR 175, a 'Letter to the Editor' published in The Advertiser criticised the conduct of
proceedings by an Industrial Commissioner, without specifying by name which of the 4 Commissioners had been concerned. All 4 Commissioners
succeeded on the basis that the letter was defamatory of each of them. In Bjelke Petersen v Warburton [1987] 2 QdR 465, the Leader of the
Opposition made statements about the 'government's corruption and its mismanagement', and said he would be asking questions about 'which
Ministers had their hands in the till'. This was held capable of being defamatory of each of the 18 members of the Ministry. However, if the class is
composed of too many people, then the matter will be incapable of identifying any particular individual.

4. Civil and Criminal Defamation Laws
Defamation is a published statement that damages someone's reputation or holds them up to ridicule (Mark, 2011, pg 207). It was originated in the
church courts because a person's reputation was considered a part of his or her soul (Mark, 2011, pg 207). Any living person, small company (fewer
than ten employees) or nonâprofit corporation can sue for defamation (Maark, 2011, pg 207). While the dead cannot sue for defamation, where their
estates can sue over defamatory material published before the person died (Mark, 2011, pg186). Besides, anyone responsible for the statement or
publication can be sued for defamation, including the journalist, editor, news director, producer, publisher and printer (Kenneth, 1996). When such
stories make audiences think less of a person in the community, the person is said to have been defamed. If you have heard conversation in salons,
tea rooms, dressing rooms, you would understand that defamation is almost a daily occurrence in our lives. In some circumstances, defamation may
be justifiable to injure someone's reputation, therefore it takes two forms which are slander and libel (Maark, 2011). Any defamation that is
"transitory", in other words, not fixed in a permanent medium, is usually considered slander (R1). Slander is defined as 'defamation in a transient
form (Mark, 2011, pg 184). It is the spoken defamation of a person or entity, as speech (R1). It can also occur through the use of a hand gesture or
verbal communication that

5. Law Provisions for Journalists Facing Defamation Cases
The law of defamation exists to protect both the moral and professional reputation of the individual from unjustified attacks. The law tries to strike a
balance between freedom of speech and a free press with the protection of an individual's reputation.
Should journalists face defamation cases there are defences available. Justification is one of these defences, to use this defence the journalist must prove
that what they have written is substantially true. Before the defamation act of 1952 was passed, to succeed with a defence of justification you had to
prove the exact truth of every defamatory statement made in the article in question....show more content...
The police officer used as a witness claimed he had seen the couple. This example also demonstrates another point that journalists should be aware of,
to ensure their witnesses are prepared to give evidence. It is often the case that their account of events stands for more than the defendants ie. the
journalist.
A plea of justification can also be difficult when reporting on investigations. It is obviously defamatory to report that somebody is guilty of an
offence, or to report an accusation made by a third party. The only way a journalist can defend themselves is to prove the person committed the
offence (exception to this are reporting a court case, a police statement, or the report is covered by privilege). If the journalist has reported that a
person is suspected of being guilty then they need to prove there are 'reasonable grounds' for suspicion. An example of this is the Elaine Chase v
News Group Newspapers Ltd [2002] EWCA case. The Sun Newspaper tried to show there were reasonable grounds for suspicion after publishing a
story headlined 'Nurse is probed over 18 deaths'. The police had been investigating the fact that a number of terminally ill children treated by one
particular nurse had died. The police concluded there were no grounds to suspect the nurse but this was after The Sun had published their report. They
paid ĐĐ100,000 damages.

6. The Defamation Act 1957 is an act relating to the laws of libel, slander and other malicious falsehoods. Defamation is a statement (of fact) about an
individual, which is published, and which affects that person's reputation. By looking at the Defamation Act 1957 and the Malaysian Penal Code, it
would be probably rational to note that we have these laws in order to protect a person's reputation regardless of the notion of press freedom since the
right to publish by the media is not absolute[ http://repo.uum.edu.my/12982/1/1âs2.0âS1877.pdf]. The Malaysian Government through the Defamation
Act 1957 and the Penal Code in the case of defamations there are some shortcomings and drawbacks of these acts which needs some transformations.
There are few notions and recommendations which might help to soothe the current drawbacks of these acts.
Firstly, there should be a law stating that any defamation regime in Malaysia should respect the following rules namely; Public officials should not
privileged from special protection under defamatory laws, public bodies should not be able to bring defamation suits and no one should be held liable
in defamation for statements which are true. Privileges, however, are...show more content...
It is because blogs or other Internet communications should be distinguished from the traditional print media as the online materials are generally not
subjected to supervision or moderation prior to their publication. In relation to this,the court observed in the case that the duty to establish the element
of knowledge should fall on the person who wishes the court to believe in its existence, i.e. the petitioner. Nevertheless, it should be noted that there is
an insertion of a new section 114A to the Malaysian Evidence Act 1950 which came into force on 31st July

9. Defamation In Defamation
Defamation is a common issue for lawsuits among celebrities, as can be seen from numerous examples of court cases (Ciccatelli; Ember; Meade;
Robinson and Stolberg; Rolph ). In 2016, The NY Times published an article about the 10$ million defamation complaint filed by Sean Penn, famous
American actor and humanitarian, against Lee Daniels in September 2015 (Holson). The latter actor used Mr. Penn as an example for the domestic
abuse to make a point about his fellow actor in the Empire television series Terrence Howard. In the interview to The Hollywood Reporter, Lee
Daniels stated: "[Terrence Howard] ain't done nothing different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn, and all of a sudden he's some fâin' demon," said
Daniels at the time. "That's a sign of the time, of race, of where we are right now in America." (Gardner). This accusation was later published by The
Hollywood Reporter and was picked up by a wide number of publications around the globe. The use of Sean Penn as an example was powered by the
ground of accusations, published more than 20 years before that, stating that Sean Penn assaulted and abused his wife at the time, Madonna Louise
Ciccone, a wellâknown singer. In order to win the case, Sean Penn would have to prove the defamatory nature of the statement. This raises several law
issues, rooted in the legal definition of defamation (libel or slander) by US laws ("California Code, Civil Code â CIV Ч 44."): actual malice vs.
opinion, harmful intent and defamation per se.

11. The Pros And Cons Of Defamation
Defamation is the general tort that encompasses statements that damages, hurts, or injures one's reputation. There are different forms of defamation,
including libel and slander. The difference between libel and slander is simply whether the statements are written statements (libel) or spoken
statements (slander). If a person suffers injury to his or her reputation as a result of another person's statements, he or she can sue under defamation law.
It's important to remember that the government cannot punish a person for defamation because it is not a criminal offense. However, defamation is an
intentional tort and a person can sue someone if he or she suffers injury because of that person's defamatory statements. As a result, defamation is a
civil wrong.
In order to win a defamation case the following elements must be present: 1) a false statement purporting to be fact; 2) publication or communication of
that statement to a third person; 3) the statement caused injury, damages, or some harm caused to the person or entity who is the subject of the
statement; 4) the statement was false; 5) the statement did not fall into a privileged category.
In order to gain a better understanding of the elements involved in a defamation lawsuit, it's important to take a closer look at the each of the elements
(all listed above). In regards to the first element, a "statement" needs to be spoken, written, or otherwise expressed in some manner. Moreover, because

12. Defamation is a law that protects the reputation of people, companies and other organisations. If something is written down or in any other format
permanently, it is libel, slander if it is spoken and thus damages can be rewarded. Despite this, it also can be protected by defences. This law allows
people, companies and organisations to sue for anything that is harmful or negative towards them. It is deemed to be a defamatory statement if it:
exposes them to hatred, ridicule or contempt, lowers them in estimation of the rightâthinking members of the public, causes them to be shunned or
avoided and/or disparages them in their profession, trade or workplace. There are a multitude of platforms in which you can defame someone, these
include: newspapers, TV, radio, blogs and social media sites. It is pretty much always defamatory to suggest that a person is a liar, insolvent, a cheat
or facing financial crisis. To determine whether this is libel or not, will depend on if the publisher of the statement has a defence, such as it is proved
to be true.
Working as Journalists, it is important that we are aware of all the implications made by this law. When publishing and reporting, we are at risk of
defaming individuals and groups even if we are just simply repeating something already published by another body.
The 2013 Defamation act requires that the claimant must show the statement has caused or is likely to damage his/her reputation. In terms of

13. Tort Of Defamation In Canada
Overview of Defamation: What is Defamation? In order to understand how the legal atmosphere and framework for defamation in Canada hinders
political satire, it is important to understand the nature of the tort of defamation in Canada.
Defamation is considered to be any statement made to the public that has the ability to damage reputation. The British definition is often cited by
Canadian courts:"...tends to lower a person in the estimation of rightâthinking members of society generally, or to cause him or her to be shunned and
avoided, or to expose him to hatred, contempt or ridicule, or to convey an imputation on him disparaging or injurious to him in his office, profession,
calling, trade or business." The statements made against plaintiff's...show more content...
This makes the tort of defamation unique among all other common law torts. The Ontario Civil Liberties Association best explains this: "Defamation is
the only common law tort (or cause of action) where damagesâ actual damage to reputationâ and malice (malice of defamation) are assumed, and need
not be proven in court. The result is a presumption of guiltâ regarding falsity of the expression, malice of the defendant, and damages to the plaintiffâ
that can only be overturned if the defendant can prove one of the available defences, which are strictly limited and codified." With this interpretation, a
defamation suit is more plaintiff friendly. In fact, defamation and damage to reputation are presumed if the plaintiff can establish that 1) the statement
refers to them; 2) the statements were published to at least one other party; and 3) the words used are capable of causing harm to their reputation.
Assuming that all three of these elements are present, the burden shifts to the defendant to prove that the statements are true or fall under one of the
acceptable defenses. The plaintiff friendly nature of defamation is best exemplified in the decision by the Supreme Court that "the plaintiff is not
required to show that the defendant intended to do harm, or even that the defendant was careless...the tort is thus one of strict

of creating a risk of being sued). However, a statement relating to a dead person may also reflect upon some living person so as to give rise to a cause
of action.
5.Publication
In this context publication means communicating the defamation to a third party. Republication gives rise to a fresh cause of action ie, repeating the
defamatory words of another.
Where republication is a natural and probable consequence of the original publication, those persons responsible for the original publication will also
15. be held responsible for the further publication. For example, if an interview is recorded with a view to it being republished to other persons, then the
person responsible for the original interview can be held responsible for those intended republications. The source will not be protected by reason of
the subsequent publication being in an altered form, provided what is subsequently published is to the same effect.
6.Construction
The natural and ordinary meaning of words is the meaning in which the words would ordinarily be understood by ordinary people using their general
knowledge and common sense. However, it is a question for the Judge to decide what this meaning is. The sense in which the words were intended or
in fact understood is irrelevant to their proper construction

A legal claim based on defamation entitles the victim to recover aginst the person making the defamatory remarks or their emotional damages. On top
of that the victim could be able to sue for punishment dammages. Defamation can be proved on a person's word alone. It is much more successful to
have some sort of evidence like a paper, article, an eâmail, etc. In a defamation case damages do not have to be proven during the testomony. The
plaintiff dose not have to testify that they were emotionaly destroyed or had to seek profesional help. The defamatory statement dose not have to
be published out side of a company or group of people. Internal attacks can also be concidered defamatory. Each repition of the remark can be
concidered a new attack. One of the biggest problems in proving defamation is that in some cases a person may have privlage to make the remarks.
During a judicial proceding absolute privlage is given. Even if the remark is false the it can not be concidered slanderous in that setting. The defamer
can make intentionaly untrue statements free of legal reprehension. A person with even a limited privlage such as an employer may still lose their
privlage if the statement is made with malicious intent and reckless disregard.

Even though this is not that common in United Kingdom but it is worth keeping in our mind. Privacy laws quite often slow down investigative
reporting aimed at exposing corrupt and illegal practices. Privacy laws, while important in protecting the private affairs of individuals, should not be
misused to deny discussion of matters of public concern. One of the most recent cases was News of the World scandal where News of the World

Progress has been made in recent years in terms of securing respect for the right to freedom of expression. Efforts have been made to implement this
right through specially constructed regional mechanisms. New opportunities are emerging for greater freedom of expression with the internet and
worldwide satellite broadcasting. I a case Ferdinand v MGN Ltd was said:
"The action for misuse of private information has grown out of the older equitable claim for breach of confidence. Breach of confidence in its
original form does still have a life of its own and may be relevant, for instance, where the Claimant is not in a position to invoke Article 8."
The claim has been dismissed. Nonetheless new threats are emerging such as global media monopolies and pressures on independent media outlets.

The second major cas in that helped to clarify the meaning of libel was the court case of Crutis Publishing Co. v Butts. The case helped to clarify the
meaning of defamation claims brought by private individuals. The case held that news organizations were protected from liability when printing
allegations about public officials, although they may still be sued by public figures if the information they printed was recklessly gathered or if it
was left unchecked. Again because it is difficult to prove either of theses, the press ended up with more freedom to print political corruption and
scandal. The meaning of libel was clarified in other such court cases as Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., 418 U.S. 323 (1974). This case is about the
murder of young man by police officer, Mr Nuccio. The victim's family appointed lawyer Elmer Gertz to represent them in court. The lawyer Gertz
was later in an article Robert Welch's magazine, American Opinion, about communism and how the murder was a setup to try to create a communist
government in america and discredit police officers. The article also said falsely that Mr Gertz was a crimminal and that he was a communist. Gertz
