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”.

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.

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.

9. Research
Research products (at least 4) similar to those you want to create yourself. Reference;
Type of image- studio/location, angle, effects, post-production
Use of lighting/ composition/ mise en scene/ costume/ props/ location/ colours/ fonts etc.
Appeal to audience
Meaning created through content
-Written content
-Audio content (voice over, music, sound effects)
Discuss how your research will develop your final product
Common aspects in the researched products
What aspects of the research will you include in your final product
Look back at what you researched in each rotation and also think about what information you need to help you complete
your own project. Be clear about why you are researching each product.
Task 2
10. Research
Conduct research into your audience to understand their opinions and beliefs in regards to the product(s) you wish to produce.
Find out general information as well so you can get a general overview of the sort of person who would use/buy your product.
You could:
1. Conduct a questionnaire allowing you to generate results that will be useful to producing your final production (10
questions- use Survey Monkey to create this)
2. Conduct interviews asking qualitative questions to generate results that will be useful to producing your final
production
3. Produce and audience profile for your proposed audience
Task 2
11. Research
Audience research should have a purpose and influence your final product. Think carefully about who you are asking. Are they
your audience?
Think about what you will do with the answers to your questions. Will the answers have any meaningful impact on your work?
If you do carry out questionnaires or interviews, analyse the response and then discuss how this will influence your project and
how you can use this information to appeal to your audience.
Task 2
12. Research
Undertaking practical research is another great way to improve your project. Experimenting with techniques, equipment and
processes you might want to use in you project will help you plan for the future.
Think about what you will research. It could be studio photography, or sound recording, or post-production techniques for
video or animation techniques for a video game. Tutorials are useful here.
Make something similar but unrelated to your chosen idea.
Do not make it a version of your final product; it is an experiment
Provide a reflection of the processes you used and how it has been useful.
Don’t do something that you already know how to do.
Task 2
13. Research
Subject research is something else you might want to do.
This might be most relevant if you are producing a magazine or a documentary but even a fiction trailer might require some
additional research in to a particular subject.
Getting some background information on your subject would be a really good idea.
Find some resources, log them, read them and write something about them.
Task 2
14. Pre-Production
Pre-production is to enable effective planning for a smooth production. Your pre-production planning will help you to answer
the following questions about your project, and the different elements involved:
• What are you making? (explain what you have been asked to do)
• Why? (What is the purpose of making your Film)
• Who is it for? (Audience)
• Where will it appear/on what? (How will audience see it)
Task 3
15. Pre-Production
Pre-production is important for the smooth running of a project. It is for you to go through final development and organisation
for your project before you start production.
The pre-production tasks you do will depend on your project. You need to undertake appropriate tasks in order to make your
project work.
A production schedule should be in everyone’s project.

Task 3
25. Pre-Production
Production schedules are really useful. They set out what you need to do and when.
They can help you organise which models/actors/interviewees you need on a specific day.
They can also help you understand the work you need to complete and the time you have to do it.
Things will change during production, but having an initial plan is a good place to start. Come back to it as you move through
the project and update where required.
