The document discusses several rules and techniques of photography including the rule of thirds, framing, leading lines, balancing elements, symmetry and patterns, and depth of field. The rule of thirds involves placing the subject off-center to create more interest. Framing uses natural or physical frames to focus on the subject. Leading lines direct the viewer's attention. Balancing elements avoids empty spaces by adding secondary subjects. Symmetry and patterns can create striking compositions when not overused. Depth of field makes the subject stand out by blurring the background.

“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” - Ansel Adams Photography is something that is created with imagination and skills and expresses strong emotions and feelings. To quote American photographer Ansel Adams, “There are no rules for good photographs. There are only good photographs”.

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.
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.
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. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

2. Rule of thirds
The rule of third a photography that is taken
where the subject/object is off centre.
Elements should be placed along the lines or
their intersections This creates more tension,
energy and interest rather then simply
centring the subject.
The photograph at the top right of the page is
a good example of leading lines because the
intersections cross over the eye making it the
subject for the photograph but not
obstructing the rest of the image by placing it
centre and cutting more of the main subject
out. The photograph in the bottom right suits
leading lines because of the main abstract
building to the right but does not obstruct the
beautiful background.
4. Framing
In photography, framing is a technique used to
bring the focus to the subject. This is done to
make the subject stand out better. There are
many types of framing techniques. The two I
found were natural framing which is when the
items being photographed are used as internal
frames. This is also a physical objects such as
windows that create a frame for the subject
being taken.
The image I prefer the most is the furthest
right of he page. This is because it multiple
frames in one image but you can still see the
main subject of the sunset clearly. Your eye is
drawn from frame to frame until you reach the
Centre of the photograph.
5. Leading Lines
This use of lines can be used to direct the
viewers attention to the subject of the
photograph. These lines can be straight,
diagonal, wavy or any other creative
variation. Just be aware that they may
also lead away from the photography
subject.
6. Balancing Elements
Placing your main subject off-centre, as with
the rule of thirds, creates a more interesting
photo, but it can leave a void in the scene
which can make it feel empty. You should
balance the "weight" of your subject by
including another object of lesser importance
to fill the space. This technique can be very
complex as you can have two main subjects as
shown by the image below where your eye
catches the closest object to the camera (the
stick). Then your eye is drawn to the rest of
the image (the buildings at the back).
7. Symmetry & Patterns
Symmetry and Patterns can make for eye caching
compositions, particularly where they are not
expected. Symmetry is both sides of the photo are
parallel to each other. You can break symmetry or
pattern by introducing tension and a focal point to
the scene.
Symmetry brings aesthetically pleasing balance and
proportion into photography. When used correctly, it
can create striking images. It is all around us and has
always been associated with beauty, Depending on
how you are holding the camera and how much of a
scene you choose to show, you can strengthen or
weaken the symmetric
properties of an object
or scene.
8. Depth of Field
Depth of Field is the distance in front of and behind a
focus point that appears sharp in a photograph. Depth of
field can be used to make a subject stand out as the
background of the photograph becomes more blurred. I
believe that this makes the photo looks the most
professional, as it centers the main subject and blurs out
the part of the image that the photographer does not
need. Abstract photographs can be made with depth of
field like the wedding photo on the far right where the
bike is the main subject not the wedding. Which is what
you would think the photographer is
aiming at.
