- The document provides feedback on ways to improve a college magazine, focusing on fonts, images, layout, and color scheme.
- Regarding fonts, the author recommends choosing one consistent font, size, and color to make the magazine easier to read.
- For images, more relevant photos of students on campus should be selected rather than "boring" stock photos.
- The layout could be improved by including more diverse content beyond just featured stories.
- The color scheme mistake of using a bright red box for regular stories should be avoided next time, as it draws more attention than the purple box for main stories. Consistency is key.

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”.

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.
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
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.

2. FONTS
I think the biggest thing that let me down
the most, in terms of how my college
magazine looked. Was the mixture and non
consistency of fonts. I used a lot of different
fonts with different sizes and colour which
made my work very mess and hard to focus
on one thing.
To improve on I would change everything to
fit one consistent font, colour and size. The
best example would be to change
everything to this type of text, as it fits
within the City college colour theme, plus it
the main text (in my opinion) stands out
completely compared to the other text
on the page spread. The reason being that,
it completely ignores the background image
as it doesn’t interfere and make it hard to
read; where ever you put it within the page.
So as improvement for next time I will try
and plan to keep one font, size and colour
for my main magazine.
The Picture
In my opinion the picture taken is
very basic and doesn't’t fit within the
codes and convention of what a
college magazine looks like.
( This picture was taken last minutes
as my original pictures were
corrupted because of technological
fault)
The image looks stale and boring and
doesn't’t look all that appealing to a
college magazine. This isn’t a jab at
the model, but the picture was taken
on a boring background and person in
the picture doesn't’t look like student
and has no relevance to the magazine
(no articles )
To improve I would certainly take a
photo that link into a normal college
student. This can done by
• Making him wear his college ID
badge.
• Show the person doing an activity
like reading ,studying and or
interacting with friends.
• Last of all I would change the
background of the image, so
instead of it being a bland normal
wall in the middle of the hallway, I
would try and take a photo next to
the main building or outside
where you can see the college
campus clearly.
Spelling and grammar
Although the spelling and grammar has
been improved since the last iteration (my
first draft). I published my magazine with
lots of spelling mistakes and grammar
errors.
To improve it I would we need to make
sure that proof read all my work before
publishing it ,rather than publishing
without care.
3. The picture
As with the contents page. The image
is very boring and stale, although it
looks like a college , which evident by
the hallway and one student. In my
opinion the photo looks boring.
The reason being is that photo is not
alive and not what you expect a
college to be like.
To improve I think an appropriate
photo would be the main college
building with students crowding
around it. Or a place of interested like
one of the many cafes the college
offers or the library. As this will bring
alive the contents page and
immediately draw the readers
attention to the contents page.
The layout
I think that the layout of the page is
neat, but it is very stale to look at. In
my opinion there isn’t any substance
that make it look appealing. This can
be evident through the only 2
features which are the ‘features’ and
‘regulars’, and if you compare it to a
any other magazine of any type the
layout looks very basic in comparison.
To improve on it I would, include
more stories that are not link to the
features and regulars, add more
adverts/ promotional material and
last of all add photos that link to
some of the articles, which will give
the reader more incentive to flick
through and find the article.
So in conclusion I would try and add
more content to the contents page
and make it have more of an art style
so therefore it is more visually
pleasing towards the reader.
The colour scheme
This box here was a bad design fault in my
opinion because, the box it self is bright red
which completely stands out compared to
the rest of the page. Internally this I want,
however it doesn't’t quite follow the codes
and conventions. Because regulars are less
important stories they should be less visually
appealing than the main stories (which is
purple box located on the left hand side),
Although the “regulars stories” are
important, it shouldn't be given more
appealing aspects in comparison to the main
stories. Therefore for next time I will try and
avoid this mistake.
