The Kogarah High School Welcome Program aims to support newly arrived students from non-English speaking backgrounds with their transition to high school. The program provides orientation, introduces students to key staff and school expectations, and helps students develop study skills over two introductory days and follow-up sessions. It identifies students from refugee, intensive English centers or international backgrounds and involves deputies, teachers, counselors and peer mentors. The program covers school tours, rules, course options and dealing with challenges. Student feedback found the organizational sessions and meeting staff were most helpful for transitioning successfully.

Most Ignite presentations are carefully prepared and well rehearsed by the presenters… this is not one of those presentations. Bryce has never seen these slides before – they were solicited from various members of his team, coworkers and loved ones. He’ll be expected to string together a semi-coherent 5 minute talk completely on the fly and before the judging eyes of the crowd. How did he let himself get talked into this?

Introduction
An investigation was conducted, focusing on, the performance of teachers and their teaching techniques in local area schools. The Education for Prosperity Centers helped in conducting this research, as they have been offering advanced training to teachers for several years, and they were of great help with the evaluation process. The Education for Prosperity Center (EPC) is a private organization. It is a non-profit making body. Established in 2001, EPC has seen tremendous development in the line of training teachers as well as providing better teaching methods. Seeing higher performances of students in other school area’s, after teachers have been through The Education for Prosperity Centers training, is a sign of a tremendous development being achieved by the center. The organization is a certified body, registered under the Ministry of Education Science and Technology. The goals of The Education for Prosperity Center is to provide the teachers with the tools required for problem solving, management, reasoning and thinking, so that they can continue to transfer better knowledge to the students.
Statement of the problem
The Education for Prosperity Center has a purpose of offering these further training sessions to teachers if needed. It seeks to address the problems faced by the teachers teaching methods. This investigation focused on the teachers because the results/performance of the students in these local area schools have been going down at an alarming rate over the past year. The investigation was done to seek out if the reason for the lower performances of students was indeed due to the lack of teaching skills needed in order for the students to succeed. The drop in the performance is thought to be as a result of the majority of teachers lacking the required skills and knowledge in their disciplines. In the past, EPC has found that teachers are faced with issues related to poor teaching methods, lack of proper counseling skills, poor ways of relating to students, and use of irrelevant teaching-learning resources (Hagger, McIntyre, Wilkin & Wilkin, 2013).
The Education for Prosperity Center has been tasked with the work of carrying out research on those factors affecting both the students and teachers. This body has been chosen to help out because it has been offering advance training to teachers with positive results. Since it has many years’ experience of dealing with teachers, it will be easier for this body to investigate the problems, and come up with a better solution to resolve any and all issues that may need to be addressed. The Educational for Prosperity Center used various.

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”.
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.
