Here is my analysis of both the front cover and contents page of the music magazine 'Fader'. This is as part of my research and planning for my media AS coursework. However, I was unable to find a double page spread for 'Fader', therefore, I will comment on the lack of it on my blog, which is klaudiafior.blogspot.com.
Feedback is much appreciated.
This is a powerpoint analysis of the front cover, contents page and double page spread of the XXL music magazine. However, these pages do not come from the same issue.

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.

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”.
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.

Thesis Statement for students diagnonsed withADHD.ppt
Institutional research
1. • 1929- enterprise founded as ARC
• 1938- Columbia Recording Corporation
• 1966- CBS Records
• 1991- renamed SME
• Owned by Sony Corporation
• Revenue – 4.89 billion (US dollars)
• Michael Jackson
• Shakira
• Britney Spears
• Will Smith
• ASAP Rocky
• Jimi Hendrix
• J Cole
• DMX
• Outkast
• T-pain
• Tyler the creator
-Sony Muisc was first founded in 1929, and at the time was founded as
American Record Corporation (ARC), since then Sony has been renamed and
bought by other companies several times, until now, now it is owned by
Sony Corporation.
-Sony Music is an appropriate record label for our artist/band to sign to as
they have signed quite a lot of HipHop/ Alternative HipHop artists previously,
such as, Tyler the creator, ASAP Rocky and Bonkaz. This is relevant to A Tribe
Called Quest as they also create music around the genres of Rap, HipHop
and Jazz. All these artists signed to Sony not only share a similar genre of
music but also a similar style and lifestyle as our artist. They all attempt to
challenge the stereotypical conventions of HipHop/Rap.
-Sony Music headquarters are also situated in New York, which can be seen
as the heart of Rap and HipHop, as a lot of HipHop artists originated there. A
Tribe Called Quest also come from Queens, New York, suggesting that Sony
Music would be well in contact with the true American Rap/HipHop culture.
-Sony Music is also the second largest music company in the world, meaning
it is well positioned in order to help promote our music video as they are
well known due to their long history, giving them a sense of status making
our artist more attractive and building trust between them and the target
audience. Sony Music also have a website www.sonymusic.com allowing
audiences to access the product via online platforms, as technology and the
internet play a large part in the lives of our target audiences.
2. • Founded in 1996
• Founder Peter Adarkwah and Ben Jolly
• Genre: HipHop, Neo Soul and Break beat
• Barely Breaking Even (BBE) is an independent British label
and although this limits the extent of the popularity of our
artist, it is a more realistic goal as Sony Music is known for only
signing artists after they have reached success. For example, they
only signed ASAP Rocky after seeing the success of his album
‘Long.Live.ASAP’. Despite this BBE still focuses on the genre of
HipHop and has signed artists like J Dilla, who is popular, not only
this but he also is often associated with A Tribe Called Quest, and the
genre of undergound HipHop/rap. However, BBE is an independent
British record label, which means that the artists will lack above the
line advertising as well as popularity due to the small amount of
history and buzz behind the record label.
• Despite this similarly to Sony, BBE have their own website,
http://www.bbemusic.com , which means we are capable of
advertising and distributing our artist. This also beneficial as our
target audience consume technology and then internet in large
sums, meaning that buzz will be easier and quicker to generate.
3. TECHNOLOGY
• Technology would have a significant impact on the distribution and exhibition of our music video, as it
allows us to broaden the extent at which we can reach out to our target audience. The development
within technology has made distribution easy, quick and cheap, due to apps such as Spotify and
Soundcloud, which although only generates a 0.01% of profit, it allows the artist to create a buzz around
them and increase popularity. Technologies such as phones, laptops, tablets etc also increase the amount
of platforms on which the music video can be distributed across. Therefore technology will largely help the
distribution of our product as it expands the revenue and buzz around the product itself. Another positive
aspect that technology brings is that it allows new artists to be discovered by record labels, an example of
this is Justin Bieber, who was discovered through Youtube.
Cross media convergence and Synergy
• Cross media convergence is another aspect that can largely increase the buzz around the artist and increase
their popularity, as their music can be used in other media products, such as games, films, TV shows and
adverts. As our artist is of the HipHop/Rap genre their songs can be used in movies, such as, a new movie
‘Straight Outta Compton’, which is a modern urban, due to the upbeat mood of the movie, and its
involvement within the HipHop culture, Universal Pictures the distribution company may be highly interested
in cross media convergence between us and the movie. Also, adverts for new trainers or street style clothing
could involve our artist’s songs within their advert as the genre would reflect then style effectively. This
would be primarily beneficial for us as it would increase buzz and popularity around the artist and their
work.
