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.
1. History of the Horror
Genre
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horror_film
2. Horror Features and Elements
The Horror Genre seeks to bring out a negative emotional
reaction from viewers by playing on the audience‟s primal
fears. They usually feature scenes that startle the viewer and
sometimes overlap with the fantasy, supernatural and thriller
genres.
Horror films often deal with the viewers hidden fears,
nightmares, revulsions and, terror of the unknown. Many
plots within the horror genre often involve the intrusion of an
evil force, event or personage, which is commonly a
supernatural origin, entering into the everyday world.
Characters/elements include things like, ghosts, vampires,
werewolves, demons, vicious animals, monsters, zombies
and serial killers.
3. Horror in 1890s-1920s
In 1910, the first „monster‟ was made real through a film from
Edison Studios, producing the first version of Frankenstein,
which was thought lost for many years.
The second monster appeared in a horror film which was
Quasimodo, who was the hunchback of Notre-Dame. This
monster was shown in many films like Esmeralda (1905) and
Notre-Dame de Paris (1911).
Another monster, a vampire, was shown in the first vampirethemed movie during this time called Nosferatu (1922). This
was an unauthorized adaptation of Dracula.
Hollywood dramas used horror themes too including versions
of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame (1923) and The Monster
(1925).

5. Horror in 1930s-1940s
During the early period, the American Movie studio Universal
Pictures began a successful Gothic Horror film series. This
included films like Dracula (1931) and was quickly followed with
Frankenstein (1931) and The Old Dark House (1932).
Some of theses gothic horror films blended with science fiction
such as The Invisible Man (1933). These were created to thrill the
audience but to also incorporate more serious elements.
Frankenstein was the first series which lasted for many years with
films like Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and Son of Frankenstein
(1939).
Universal Studios influenced other studios to make horrors like Tod
Browning who made a film called Freaks (1932) which was about a
band of circus freaks. The studio disowned the completed film after
cutting about 30 minutes; it remained unreleased in the UK for 30
years.

7. Horror in 1950s-1960s
A stream of low-budget productions started to feature overcoming
threats from the “outside” such as alien invasions and deadly
mutations to people, plants and insects. An example of this is the
horror film from Japan, Godzilla (1954) and its sequels, which also
included effects of nuclear radiation.
During the 1950s, Great Britain emerged as a producer of horror
films. The Hammer Productions company started to focus on the
horror genre for the first time, gaining huge international success as
they were involving classic horror characters in colour for the first
time. For example, The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) and Dracula
(1958).
Peeping Tom (1960) by British Producer Michael Powell was the
first “slasher” movie. This film concerns a serial killer who combines
his occupation as a photographer with the moments before
murdering his victims. Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock was also a
“slasher” film but also had examples of natural horror.

The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)

9. Horror in the 1970s-1980s
The Exorcist (1973), made significant commercial success,
and was followed by many more films in which the Devil
represented the supernatural evil, often by impregnating
women or possessing children.
“Evil Children” and reincarnation became popular subjects.
Audrey Rose (1977) is an example of this, as the film deals
with a man who claims that his daughter is the reincarnation
of another dead person.
A cycle of slasher films were made during the 1970s and
early 1980s for example, A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).
The 1980s saw a wave of gory “B movie” horror films,
although most of them were panned by critics, many became
cult classics and later saw success with critics with films such
as the Evil Dead movies and the classic Fright Night (1985).

11. Horror in the 1990s
The first half of the 1990s, the genre continued many themes from
the 1980s, like the slasher films. Silence of the Lambs (1991) was
extremely successful at this time.
Horror was pushed backwards during this period by two main
problems:
- the horror genre wore itself out with the reproduction of nonstop
slasher and gore films from the eighties.
- the adolescent audience which feasted on the blood and horror of
the previous decade grew up, and the replacement audience of
films of an imaginative nature were being captured instead. This
included an explosion of science-fiction and fantasy films.
To re-connect with its audience, horror became more selfmockingly ironic and outright parodic, especially in the later half of
the 1990s. Films like Scream started in 1996 and became popular
with the usual mix of horror and ironic humour which led to 4
Scream films.
13. Horror in the 2000s
A release of an extended version of The Exorcist in
September 2000 was successful despite the film being
available on home video for years. The Jeepers Creepers
series was also successful. Remakes of the earlier horror
movies became routine in the 2000s. They were popular with
all audiences.
There was a major return of the zombie genre in horror
movies made after 2000. The Return of the Living Dead
(1985) was inspiration to zombie movies as it had a style of
aggressive zombies.
Some updated remakes:
- Dawn of the Dead (2004)
- Shaun of the Dead (2004) mixed with the comedy genre
