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”.

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.

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.
3. LATIN DANCE
Latin dance has its roots in African dance and
drum rhythms
As slaves were carried to various islands in
the Caribbean their dance styles were
blended with those of the local Indian and
Spanish populations.
Latin dances developed out of the creation of
new musical styles specific to the various
islands and mixed cultures of its inhabitants
4. BOMBA
Celebrated marriages and
baptisms, and rebellions
planned
West Africans who worked
the suger plantations
along the coast of Puerto
Rico
Taino Indians were the
native inhabitant of the
island before Columbus
landed
5. BOMBA
Dancers took turns challenging the drums, creating a
dialog with their movements that the solo drummer
answered. It is said that women bomba dancers would
typically dance with their skirt raised, showing their slips,
to ridicule the attire worn by plantation ladies.
*click the picture for examples of this music and dance style.
6. SALSA
The closest derivative of Salsa comes from the Cuban Son
music. It is a blend of Spanish music and African rhythms.
Political deterioration because of Fidel Castro caused flight
from Cuba, which brought the dance and music style to
Puerto Rico, Columbia, Miami, and New York. Each location
changed the dance and music.
New York musicians added Jazz rhythms which changed the
sound and dancers added dance moves from swing dance
during periods of musical improvisation.
Dominican interactions with African Americans and R&B gave
birth to Reggaeton.

8. MERENGUE
Merengue began in the 19th
century in the Dominican
Republic. It first featured stringed
instruments, but German traders
introduced islanders to the
accordion, and that instrument's
distinctive sound became
synonymous with the dance. It
began in the lower classes,
although a more formalized style
of the dance was later developed
for ballroom dance purposes.
Former dictator Rafael Trujillo
named Merengue the official
dance of the Dominican Republic.
9. MERENGUE
Walking steps and side steps (chasse) are the basic components of
Merengue.
Merengue dates prior to the mid-1800’s. It was imported into the New
York Latin dance clubs in the early 1940’s. An old legend says the dance
got its characteristic drag of the right foot out of respect to an old war hero
who returned home with a badly wounded leg.
The Latin musician Juan Luis Guerra is credited with popularizing the
easy-to-follow 1-2-3-4, 5-6-7-8 beat.
Merengue is a fun and easy dance made up of simple steps. Primarily a
non progressive dance, it can also travel counter clockwise around the
floor. Noted for its Cuban motion, Merengue is also characterized by its
“marching” feeling.

10. BACHATA
The Bachata is another dance whose history is more aptly
described by the history of the music from which it takes its name.
Bachata is a style of guitar music played in the Dominican
Republic. The first song in the genre was recorded in 1961 by José
Manuel Calderón. It was a music of the common people and the
down-and-out, which unfortunately gave it a seedy reputation. With
its frequently bitter subject matter, it has been compared to the
American blues tradition. The dance was created to accompany
these tales of love and woe.
For more in depth info on the dance and variations of the dance around
the world click the word Bachata.
Its lyrics have history.
11. BACHATA
Bachata is a partner dance
basically comprised of four steps,
with a tap or pop on the fourth
step [one…two…three…tap/pop].
This intimate dance positions
partners close together using a
closed or open frame, and
contains natural hip movement.
There is always a side-to-side
motion with three simple steps
taken during four beats of music.
On the fourth beat, both partners
tap with a hip motion.
