New immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe arrived in large numbers between 1870-WWI, settling primarily in urban areas. They faced both push factors like poverty, war, and religious persecution abroad, as well as pull factors in America like inexpensive western farmland and job opportunities in mining, railroads, and factories. Upon arrival, immigrants underwent health inspections at ports like Ellis Island and Angel Island before assimilating into American society, often through ethnic neighborhoods and cultural institutions in cities, though many also faced hostility from nativists. Overall, immigration greatly transformed and strengthened America's economy and workforce.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.

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.
2. New Immigrants
New Immigrants= Southern and Eastern Europeans during
1870s until WWI.
Came from Ireland, Germany, Italy, Greece, Poland, Hungary and
Russia.
Often unskilled, poor, Catholic or Jewish, and planning to save
some money to take back home.

China and Eastern Europe which caused economic
troubles.
Russian and Eastern European Jews faced religious
persecution and fled to the U.S. for safety.
6. Pull Factors
Pull Factors= Things that attract people to a place

7. Pull Factors
1862 Homestead Act and aid from railroad
companies made western farmland inexpensive.
Workers were recruited from homelands to build
railroads, dig mines, or work in factories.
Many wanted to find gold.
Chain immigrants=
8. Journey to America
Many immigrants could barely afford a ticket to
come to the U.S.
They could only pack what they could carry.
Many would wait in line for hours to try to get on
a ship and in many cases it was very dangerous to
do this.
9. Journey to America
Steerage=
Steerage was located on the lowest decks of the
ship with no private cabins, and was dirty and
crowded.
Seasickness was an issue in rough weather and
illnesses spread quickly in the lower decks.
10. Immigrants Arrive in America
2 ports of entry into the U.S.
Ellis Island- New York City
Angel Island- San Francisco Bay
To enter the ports immigrants had to be healthy and
show they had money, a skill, or a sponsor to provide
for them.
They had to go through a series of health tests and
evaluations and could possibly be sent back to their
homeland if they did not meet proper guidelines..
11. EElllliiss IIssllaanndd
was built in
1892 as the
1st
“Immigration
Center”
Later, closed
in the 1940s
Today it is a
museum.
•The goal was to “screen” immigrants coming from Europe.
•Immigrants took physical examinations and were held at Ellis Island before they
were released to the US mainland.
12. Ellis Island
Most European immigrants came through here. (NYC)
1st and 2nd class passengers were inspected on the ship then
released.
3rd class had to go in to be inspected.
Ellis Island was the more welcoming of the two ports.
13. Angel Island
Most Chinese and Asian immigrants came through here (San
Francisco Bay)
Opened in 1910.
Made it very hard for Chinese immigrants to come into the U.S.
Immigrants were sometimes left here for days or weeks in poor
conditions.
14. Immigrants Assimilate Into
Society
Assimilate =
Most immigrants stayed in cities and lived in
ethnic neighborhoods
These neighborhoods would share:
By 1890 many cities had a huge immigrant
population. 4/5 people in NYC were immigrants.
15. Assimilation
Americanization =
In many cities Americanization institutions arose
to help immigrants fit in.
America became known as the “Melting Pot”.
Immigrants usually stuck with their native
cultures but children of immigrants were more
likely to adopt American ways.
16. Immigrants Face Hostility
Nativism =
Competition for jobs and homes often fueled resentment
and religious and cultural differences caused tensions as
well.
Chinese Exclusion Act =
A later ruling said the Chinese who were already in
America were considered U.S. citizens.
17. Chinese Exclusion Act
• Resentment and
discrimination
against the
Chinese.
• First law to restrict
immigration.
• Taking away jobs
from Nativists
18. Congress also passed another act that prohibited
the entry of anyone who was a criminal, immoral,
or someone who handicapped.
These were the beginnings of immigration
restriction in America.
A quota act is later going to be placed on how
many immigrants can come to the U.S. from a
given country.
19. Immigrants Change America
Immigrants changed America in many ways.
Mexican Americans developed ranching techniques.
Chinese, Irish, and Mexican workers built railroads.
Immigrants worked in coal mines, steel and textile mills,
and factories.
Women immigrants worked in factories, seamstresses,
laundresses, made piecework, and worked as servants.
Immigrants helped the U.S. become a world power.
