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.

At East High School (in Albuquerque, New Mexico) ("Wildcat
Cheer"), Troy Bolton tells his Jock friends, Chad Danforth and
Zeke Baylor, about meeting Gabriella Montez on New Year's
Eve during winter vacation on a ski trip. Gabriella, who has just
moved to Albuquerque, also tells her newfound Brainiac
friends Taylor McKessie, Kelsi Nielsen and Martha Cox of her
vacation. We meet Sharpay and Ryan Evans, the two drama
stars of the school. Sharpay is selfish, and Ryan follows her
orders but tries to be friends with everyone. Troy and Gabriella
have a flashback to New Year's Eve when they met. ("Start of
Something New"). One-half of the song is during the
flashback, then we return to East High where
Chad, Taylor, Kelsi, Ryan, Sharpay, Zeke and other students
sing of their New Year's Resolutions.
Synopsis: ACT 1
4.
In homeroom, Mrs. Darbus tells her class of the upcoming winter
musical, "Juliet and Romeo", a new version of Shakespeare's
"Romeo and Juliet", written by Kelsi Nielsen, a shy East High
student. When Ryan, Sharpay, Troy, and Gabriella start using their
cell phones, Mrs. Darbus gives them all detention. Chad
interferes, telling Mrs. Darbus that Troy cannot go because they
have basketball practice after school and that they have an
upcoming championship game. Mrs. Darbus then gives Chad a 30
minute detention, and gives Taylor detention when she remarks
that Chad can't even count that high. At Gabriella's locker, Troy
runs into her and they show their amazement of how they found
each other again. Sharpay walks by and tries to flirt with Troy, but
he shows no interest in her. Sharpay observes that he is interested
in Gabriella and she is interested in him. Later, the Jocks have
basketball practice ("Get'cha Head in the Game").

Pacific Repertory Theatre's School of Dramatic Arts High School Musical Act
1 Finale.
In a Science class, Gabriella shows her smarts by pointing out a flaw in the
teacher's equation. Taylor is impressed and asks, on behalf of her Science
Club, if Gabriella could join their team to win the upcoming Scholastic
Decathlon, although Gabriella refuses. Sharpay overhears and has Ryan
investigate by Googling her.
Discovering that Gabriella was a very intelligent Brainiac at her old
school, Sharpay prints her newfound information and puts it in Taylor's
locker. The students later head to the Mrs. Darbus's room for
detention, and act like animals. Taylor then asks Gabriella again to join the
Scholastic Decathlon team based on the printouts Sharpay planted in her
locker, and Gabriella agrees. Everyone does the 'ball of noise,' and Coach
Bolton comes to get Troy and Chad for practice and then talks to Mrs.
Darbus about it.
6.
The next day, thespians audition for the play ("Auditions").
Sharpay and Ryan audition as well ("What I've Been Looking
For"). After the auditions have been declared closed, Gabriella and
Troy sing the song as Kelsi intended it - much slower ("What I've
Been Looking For (Reprise)"). Although Troy and Gabriella did
not intend it to be an audition they are called back for a second
audition. When their friends hear the news they spread it via cell
phones ("Cellular Fusion").
Sharpay is furious, believing Troy and Gabriella have stolen the
lead roles and broken the 'rules' of East High. Though most of the
school agrees, lyrical chaos erupts during a lunch break when
students begin telling their secret obsessions outside of their
cliques ("Stick to the Status Quo"). The scene culminates with
Sharpay getting 'caked' by Zeke (who secretly likes her), after
Gabriella spins into him. Act I ends with Sharpay angrily shouting
"Someone is going to pay for this!"
7.
Jack Scott recaps events before Troy and Gabriella dance on the
rooftop garden ("I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You"). Zeke comes
to Sharpay's locker and tries to flirt with her. Meanwhile, the Jocks
and Brainiacs plot against the infuriated duo during study hall.
Sharpay and Ryan see the Jocks and the Brainiacs mingling
together and imagine they are trying to help Troy and Gabriella. So
Sharpay lies to Mrs. Darbus saying that Troy and his dad are
trying to ruin the auditions because she gave Troy detention. Later
at practice, ("Wildcat Cheer (Reprise)"), Mrs. Darbus talks to
Troy's dad and then he talks to Troy. Gabriella comes to practice to
see Troy while Martha comes and takes her to the lab. Troy's dad
thinks Gabriella is the reason why Troy got detention. He tells Troy
that he is a playmaker and not a singer. This infuriates Troy who
angrily asks his father if he ever wondered if he could be both and
storms off in a rage, leaving his father stunned.
ACT 2
8.
The Jocks and Brainiacs put their plan to work, pushing at Troy
and Gabriella to 'split up'. Eventually, Troy, furious with his
friends for telling him the same things his dad did, gives in and
pretends that he doesn't like Gabriella, completely oblivious to
the phone in Zeke's hand, transmitting Troy's words directly to
Gabriella ("Counting on You"). Gabriella hears and becomes
very upset. Troy and Gabriella, lonely and upset, sing ("When
There Was Me and You"). The Jocks and Brainiacs then realize
that they have gone too far and feel guilty for ruining Troy and
Gabriella's relationship.
Act 2 Finale of Pacific Repertory Theatre's School of Dramatic
Arts production of Disney's High School Musical.
9.
The next day, Sharpay and Ryan are rehearsing for their
callback while Sharpay talks to Ryan about her role in the
school. Then Troy comes in looking for Gabriella and Ryan tells
him that she is in the theatre. Troy goes to the theatre and tells
Gabriella that they were set up and he didn't mean what he
said and sings to remind her of New Year's ("Start of
Something New (reprise)").
Hearing that the callback date has been moved up by request of
Sharpay to the same time as the big game and the Scholastic
Decathlon, Troy and Gabriella announce to the Jocks and
Brainiacs that they are going to not do the callback, but instead
help their respective teams for their events. The Jocks and
Brainiacs say they should do the callbacks. Troy and Gabriella
refuse, but the teams decide to lend a helping hand anyway
("We're All In This Together").
10.
On the day of the big game/Decathlon/callbacks, the
students are excited for the festivities. Sharpay and Ryan
perform their callback song ("Bop to the Top"), which at
the same time happens with the basketball championship
and the science decathlon, during which Taylor engineers
an electronic meltdown in the decathlon and light
malfunctions in the game, which forces all the students to
move to the theater. Chad and Taylor explain to Troy and
Gabriella that this is their only chance. Mrs.
Darbus, hesitant to allow Troy and Gabriella an audition
due to their lateness, has no choice but to let them
audition as the auditorium fills with students ("Breaking
Free"). Mrs. Darbus gives Troy and Gabriella the parts on
the spot with everyone watching.
11.
The end of Act II brings us to the gym where all the
main characters wrap up their plots (Chad asks out
Taylor, Zeke gets Sharpay to be nice to him, Jack
Scott and Kelsi literally fall head over heels for each
other, and Sharpay makes up with Gabriella and
Troy). The Wildcats win the big game and the
Decathlon. The students celebrate ("We're All in
This Together (Reprise)") followed by a recap of all
the major songs in the show ("Megamix").
12.
High School Musical is based in modern times and
this is shown through the use of technology such as
mobile phones used by Sharpay for example.
Therefore it is also set in a time with no current
apparent conflict or discrimination as there is a
number of ethnics actively taking part in the show.
