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.
3. Characters in
Camelot
In this genealogical chart, you can
see the relationships between the
characters.
Of particular interest to our studies
this week are Arthur; Guinevere;
Lancelot; and the brothers Gawain,
Aggravain, Gaheris, Gareth, and
Mordred.
Note the differences in spelling of
some of the characters.
4. Sir Gawain and the Green
Knight
Very little is known about the Gawain poet except that he is probably also the
author of the poems Pearl, Patience, and Purity.
This epic poem is about the adventures of Gawain, one of King Arthur’s nephews.
In the beginning of FIIT i, the reader is introduced to the origins of Britain after the
fall of Troy and the founding of Camelot.
5. Sir Gawain and the
Green Knight
The setting of FIIT i is King Arthur’s court during a
Christmastime celebration. The celebration is
interrupted by the unexpected arrival of the
Green Knight, who makes a strange challenge:
the Green Knight will allow someone to behead
him, but if the Green Knight survives, that person
must allow the Green Knight to behead him a
year and a day later.
6. Sir Gawain and the
Green Knight
At first, no one accepts the challenge, leaving
Arthur somewhat embarrassed. It’s only after
Arthur accepts the challenge himself that Gawain
steps in.
What does this say about Arthur? About Gawain?
The rest of the story (FIIT ii and beyond) is about
what happens to Gawain in the year and a day
after this incident.
7. Sir Gawain and the Green
Knight
Important notes on the poetic form:
Alliteration – There is a strong focus on alliteration in the poem. This is in keeping
with the strong oral tradition of storytelling. Here’s an example from the first two
lines of the poem:
Once the siege and assault of Troy had ceased,
with the city a smoke-heap of cinders and ash,
Take note of all the –s sounds in these lines!
8. Sir Gawain and the Green
Knight
Bob and wheel – You’ll note that although the stanzas vary in length, they all end
with a five-line pattern called a bob and wheel. The rhyme scheme is ababa as
marked below in the end of the second stanza:
and I’ll tell it as it’s told in the town where it trips from
the tongue; [a]
and as it has been inked [b]
in stories bold and strong, [a]
where loyal letters linked [b]
have lasted loud and long. [a]
Note the reference to alliteration: “loyal letters linked”
9. Sir Thomas Malory and Morte
Darthur
Sir Thomas Malory (c.a. 1405-1471): There is some discussion on which Thomas
Malory wrote and translated the Round Table stories. Most sources agree that he was a
criminal, a soldier, and, according to William Caxton (the English printer), "a
knight." Politically a fair weather supporter, Malory changed sides many times during
the War of the Roses. Malory moved though the countryside quite a bit and obviously
had some learning, as he was able to translate the romances of King Arthur and his
knights from the French into English. There were many well-known versions of the
story, probably due to their popularity with traveling troubadours, but they all followed
the courtly love tradition. This chivalrous ideal can be seen in the early relationship of
Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere in Morte Darthur, but when their relationship
becomes adulterous, it signals the beginning of trouble for Camelot.
10. Sir Thomas Malory and Morte
Darthur
Sir Thomas Malory (1405-1471) is believed to be the author of Morte Darthur.
In the sections you’re reading, “The Conspiracy Against Lancelot and Guinevere” and
“War Breaks Out Between Arthur and Lancelot,” you’ll read about the beginning of the
end of Arthur’s Camelot.
Important characters in Morte Darthur aside from Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot:
Sir Gawain, Sir Agravain, Sir Gareth, and Sir Gaheris – sons of Margawse (Arthur’s
sister) and her husband, Lot
Sir Mordred – son of Margawse and Arthur (yuck, right? That’s another story for
another day!)
Sir Bors – Lancelot’s nephew and trusted confidant
11. Sir Thomas Malory and
Morte Darthur
In “The Conspiracy Against Lancelot and Guinevere,” some of
the knights of the Round Table suspect Lancelot and Guinevere
of having an affair and want to reveal this to Arthur. Not all the
knights agree, however.
Arthur is informed of the treasonous affair, and a plan is put
into place to catch the lovers.
12. Sir Thomas Malory and
Morte Darthur
The trap works, and Lancelot is caught with Guinevere.
However, Lancelot escapes. He leaves Camelot for Joyous
Garde, his castle in England, pledging to return to rescue
Guinevere.
13. Sir Thomas Malory and Morte
Darthur
In “War Breaks Out Between Arthur and Lancelot,” Arthur plans to execute
Guinevere for her treachery. Arthur asks Gawain to take his brothers Gaheris and
Gareth and deliver Guineveve for execution.
Gawain declines and notes that although Gaheris and Gareth won’t want to, they
will obey the king if he orders them.
As promised, Lancelot returns to rescue Guinevere. Many knights are killed in the
rescue attempt, including Gaheris and Gareth. This is too much for Gawain, and he
vows revenge. This creates an unstoppable chain of events that eventually results
in the deaths of Gawain, Arthur, Mordred, and many others. Camelot eventually
crumbles, and Constantine is named king.
14. Alfred, Lord Tennyson and
“Guinevere”
Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) was the Poet
Laureate for much of Queen Victoria’s reign.
He was a popular poet in his lifetime and is
known for “The Charge of the Light Brigade” and
Idylls of the King, Tennyson’s description of the
legend of King Arthur. Idylls of the King is
comprised of 12 poems.
15. Alfred, Lord Tennyson
and “Guinevere”
Tennyson’s version has some differences from Malory’s:
– Mordred alone is responsible for the downfall of Lancelot
and Guinevere.
– Instead of fleeing with Lancelot to Joyous Garde, Guinevere
goes to Almesbury, where she lives as a nun.
– Arthur (not Lancelot as in Malory’s version) finds Guinevere
in Almesbury and forgives her.
16. Modern Retellings and
References to Camelot
Interest in Camelot is alive and well, as you can see from this small sample of modern
works:
- Merlin, a 2008 television show from the BBC
- Cursed, a 2020 television series from Netflix
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a 1975 film
- The Sorcerer's Apprentice, a 2010 film
- The Kid Who Would be King, a 2019 film
