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.

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.

71. Inputs are products/services that are used by the farmer to
run his farm. Examples: Money (capital), Labour, Fertiliser,
Machinery, Seed, Animal Feed, Vet visits etc.
72. Processes are actions that the farmer does in running his
farm. Examples: Spreading fertiliser, milking cows, cutting
silage etc.
73. Outputs are the finished products which a farm produces.
Examples are Cattle for sale, harvested crops, milk, slurry etc.
74.
75.
76. A Mixed Farm is a farm that involves more than one
type of activity, such as Cattle and Crops.
84. Secondary Activities are where raw materials (e.g. Plastic,
Wiring) is used in a factory to make products (e.g. computers)
85.
86.
87. Factory inputs are things the factory needs to make products.
Examples – raw materials, machinery, electricity, workers
Workers and machinery are
both inputs
88.
89. Factory processes are what the factory does to make a
finished product
Sewing is a process at
this factory
90. Factory outputs are the finished products the factory sells on
for profit and any waste produced by the factory
Cars are an output at
this Audi factory
91.
92.
93.
94. Many Factors influence where a factory will be built
1. Access to raw materials
2. Access to transport (near an airport, motorway etc)
3. Access to Labour – near towns/cities with many workers
4. Access to services – broadband, electricity etc
5. Availability of land for building
6. Access to markets
7. Government and EU Policy
8. Access to Capital (Money)
95. Where would it be easier to get raw materials for a wool
factory?
99. Where would you find more customers to buy your factory’s
products?
100.
101.
102. Located in a Greenfield site near Leixlip
Makes microchips for export
Employs 5,000 people in well paying jobs (average wage over
€80,000)
103. Close to Dublin
◦ Good supply of Labour (workers)
◦ Easy transport links (motorway, railway nearby, Dublin city and Port)
Plenty space to build and expand (Greenfield site)
Easy access to services (water, electricity)
Tax incentives and Grants (Government money to build a
factory)
Easy access to European markets
No danger of Earthquakes

110. Uses heavy machinery and huge plants to make bulk
products, eg. Iron and Steel, Cement, Chemicals in
bulk.
Can often be heavily polluting and are located away
from built up areas
111. 1. Access to Raw Materials
2. Ease of transport of materials & finished products
3. Adequate space for a large factory
4. Away from built up areas
5. Access to Labour and Services
6. Government policy – promote development.
112.
113.
114. “Footloose” – an industry which can locate almost
anywhere.
Footloose industries are generally non-polluting
Examples can be found all over Ireland because:
◦ Many sites available
◦ Electricity widely available
◦ Many transport options available – road network good
◦ Workforce is mobile
◦ Many traffic bottlenecks are bypassed.
115.
116.
117. Industrial inertia – when factories stay in an area even
when the original reasons for locating there no longer
apply
Example: Steel Works in Sheffield
118. Raw materials – iron ore + coke for heating furnaces
(coke comes from coal)
Iron ore is heated in a blast furnace => pig iron
Pig iron + scrap metal are heated in a steel furnace =>
molten steel
Molten steel is rolled in a mill =>steel plate
119. 3 phases
◦ 18th century (pre industrial stage)
◦ 19th century (Industrial Revolution stage)
◦ 20th century (Modern stage)
120. Resource based location
◦ Iron ore mine
◦ Forests – wood for charcoal (for furnaces)
◦ Rivers/streams – water for power (water wheel) + transport
Example; Forest of Dean
When no trees left => relocate
121. Coalfield location
◦ Steam replaced water for power
◦ Coke replaced charcoal
◦ Coal mine provided coke and power
◦ Canals transported raw materials
Example South Wales
When no coal left => relocate
122. Coastal location
◦ Import more and cheaper iron ore, scrap metal and coal
◦ Oil/gas => electricity => power
◦ Flat land
Example Port Talbot (below left)
Iron and steel processes came together => Integrated
Steel works
123. Tradition
Access to large markets
Skilled workers
Good transport links
Specialised production
124.

129. The big changes that encouraged women to play a
greater role in the workforce are:
◦ Free Secondary Education
◦ The Women’s Liberation movement
◦ Gender Equality Laws
◦ Increase in house prices (needs both parents to work)
◦ Smaller families
◦ Growth of childcare/creches
130. Poverty in the West of China is a Push factor, encouraging women to leave
for the cities in the East.
Many jobs are low paying and working conditions can be quite poor.
131.
132.
133. The world is divided into three industrial zones:
◦ The Industrialised regions of Europe, Japan and North America. These
areas are well developed with advanced industries.
◦ The Newly Industrialised regions of South East Asia (e.g. China) and
parts of Latin America (e.g. Mexico). These areas have less advanced
industries but are “catching up” with Europe and the USA
◦ The Industrially emergent regions of Africa, parts of Asia and parts of
South America – these countries are only slowly developing.
134.
135.
136.
137.
138. Pollution from factories can affect the air and water in our
environment
One major problem caused by industrialisation is Acid Rain
Acid Rain is caused by smoke from industry (especially
burning fossil fuels like coal) combining with water vapour in
clouds to make rain more acidic
This acid rain can damage farmland, forests, rivers and lakes
and buildings.
145. Factory owners (industrialists) are interested in making and
selling more products.
What happens if this causes pollution?
What happens if a factory has to close because it is causing
too much pollution?
Who pays to clean up the pollution?
146.
147.
148.
149. Tertiary economic activities involve services.
Jobs in the Tertiary Economic Sector do not involve raw
materials and do not involve manufacturing a finished
product.
Examples of jobs in this sector:
Teacher, Garda, Bus Driver, Tour Guide, Waiter, Barman, Actor,
Bank Clerk, Florist, Accountant, Doctor, Mechanic, Cleaners…..
150. Rich countries have more people working in tertiary
economic activities because people can afford to pay for
doctors, teachers, hairdressers, bar staff….
In a poor country, people often have only enough money for
food and other essential items.
151.
152. Tourism is an activity which tends to be located in certain
regions:
◦ Areas of Natural beauty
◦ Regions offering recreational and sporting facilities
◦ Beaches & Coastlines
◦ Cities
164. SPAIN has:
• A warm sunny climate
• Lots of coastline
• Year round good
weather
• Cultural attractions
(such as Bull Fighting)
165.
166. Provides employment – Tourists need accommodation and
food/drink which means jobs for hotel workers, restaurant
staff etc.
Construction Industry – building of Hotels, Apartments etc
Demand for food & drink – farmers benefit from many
tourists wanting to buy their goods
Development of Communication links – roads and airports
built for tourists, now can be used by locals
New facilities – water parks, hotels etc can be used by locals
167.
168.
169. Spanish Culture is being hidden by Northern European culture
Some Spanish towns have lost their identity
Some tourists behave poorly
170. Petty Crime is now a problem in Spanish tourist areas
It is now too expensive for locals to live in resort areas
Many resorts are now too built up and are unattractive
“concrete jungles”
Pollution from sewage
Too much demand for water
