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.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
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 wasn’t 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.
1. Film Magazine
In what ways does your media
product use, develop or challenge
forms and conventions of real
media products?
2. Basic Conventions for a Film Magazine
• Main image of a famous actor as the focus point
• Masthead filling the width of the cover and 1/5 of the length. Based at the top of the cover.
• Main cover line usually crosses the main image, slightly smaller text size than the masthead.
• A lot of smaller cover lines placed around the main image and below. Sometimes placed on a
banner.
• Font for text suggests to the audience what the genre is.
• Bold text to make the main cover line and masthead stand out
• Colour scheme determines the genre of the film advertised linking with the main image.
• Price in pounds and euros.
• Date and issue number.

5. EMPIRE + TOTAL FILM ANALYSIS
Comparisons
• They both include different the basic conventions and placed similarly on the cover
• Their target markets are between the ages of 16- 30
• Have colour schemes to set the tone of the cover in relation to the main image
• The main image obstructs the view of the magazine title
• Barcode is placed in the corner because it is not a focal point
• Price and date is small as it is insignificant
Contrasts
• Empire tends to be more clustered rather than the more sophisticated look which
Total Film has
• Total Film’s title is very bold aiming to grab the audience’s attention, Empire’s is
skinner but sharper
• The structure for Total Film’s magazines are predominately centred
• Empire’s structure is placed in no chronological order
• Empire includes extra images for different stories, however Total Film sticks to one
image (main image)

7. My Film Magazine Analysis
Using Conventions of real film magazines
• Using colour schemes to show the genre of the main image’s film
• Banner at the bottom of the page overlaying the main image. This is extra information for
the audience to see – less important
• Main image takes up half of the page whilst the title takes up a fifth usually crossing over
such as in my magazine
Developing Conventions of real film magazines
• The use of a QR code which is a recent technology improvement
• Using rectangles behind my main image to help my Lewis, Beau and Scott stand out
• ‘The Con Is On’ is in different sized font
Challenging Conventional Film Magazines
• Main image at an angle with text placed around it
• Mixture of features from Empire and Total film
– The use of the Empire masthead and plus sign
– Using one image is a conventional Total Film style as it wants it’s audience to
concentrate on the main image.
– Empire structure
