Phonetics and phonology are both linguistic fields that are interested in the role of sound in language. The importance of learning phonetics and phonology for someone whose first language is not English is paramount.
Learning phonetics will help a foreign speaker sound more like a native speaker by making them aware of the different sounds that English makes use of.

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.

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.
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.

DIPTHONG, AND
TRIPTHONG

DIPTHONG, AND
TRIPTHONG

2. LONG VOWEL
LONG VOWEL
Long vowel is the term used to refer to vowel sounds whose pronunciation is
the same as its letter name,the vowels which tend to be longer than the short
vowels in similar contexts.
To remain you that these vowels tend to be long, symbols consist of one vowel
symbol plus a length Mark Made of two dots ː. Thus we have iː, ɜː , ɑː , ɔː , uː.
What is long Vowel Vowel?
3. iː(example words: ‘beat’, ‘mean’, ‘peace’)
This vowel is nearer to cardinal vowel no.1[i]
the lips are only slightly spread and this results in
a rather different vowel quality.
ɜː (example word: 'bird', 'fern', 'purse')This is a mid-central
vowel which is used in most English accents as a hesitation
sound (written ‘er’), but which many learners
find difficult to copy. The lip position is neutral.
ɑː(example words: ‘card’, ‘half’, ‘pass’)
This is an open vowel in the region of
cardinal vowel no. 5 [a], but not as back as this.
The lip position is neutral.
ɔː(example words: ‘board’, ‘torn’, ‘horse’)
The tongue height for this vowel is
between cardinal vowel no. 6 [ɔ] and no. 7 [o],
and closer to the latter. This
vowel is almost fully back and has quite strong lip-rounding.
uː(example words: ‘food’, ‘soon’, ‘loose’)
The nearest cardinal vowel to this is no. 8
[u], but BBC u: is much less back and less close,
while the lips are only moderately rounded.
4. Diphthongs are two vowels pronounced at once. The total number of
diphthongs is eight (though oa is increasingly rare). The easiest
way to remember them is in terms of three groups divided as in this diagram.
DIPTHONG
DIPTHONG
What is dipthong?
5. Ie (example words: ‘beard’, weird’, ‘fierce’)
ea (example words: ‘aired’, ‘cairn’, ‘scarce’) This diphthong
begins with a vowel sound that is more open than the eof
‘get’, ‘men’
Ue (example words: ‘moored’, ‘tour’, ‘lure’) For speakers who have
this diphthong, this has a starting point similar to u in ‘put’, ‘puli’.
Many speakers pronounce : instead.
6. Three of the diphthongs glide
towards i,
ei (example words: ‘paid’, ‘pain’,
‘face’) The starting point is
the same as the e o f‘get’, ‘men’,
ai (example words: ‘tide’, ‘time’, ‘nice’) This
diphthong begins
with an open vowel which is between front
and back; it is
quite similar to the a of the words ‘cut’, ‘bun’,
oi (example words: ‘void’, ‘loin’,
‘voice’) The first part of this
diphthong is slightly more
open than o: in ‘ought’, ‘born’.
7. TWO DIPHTHONGS
GLIDE TOWARDS U
TWO DIPHTHONGS
GLIDE TOWARDS U
1. su (example words: ‘load’, ‘home’, ‘most’) The vowel position for the beginning
of this is the same as for the “schwa” vowel a, as found in the first syllable of
the word ‘about’. The lips may be slightly rounded in anticipation of the glide
towards u, for which there is quite noticeable lip-rounding,
2. au (example words: ‘loud’, ‘gown’, ‘house’) This diphthong begins with a vowel
similar to ai. Since this is an open vowel, a glide to u would necessitate a large
movement, and the tongue often does not reach the u position. There is only
slight lip-rounding.
8. Tripthong What the meant of tripthong ?
A triphthong is a glide from one vowel
to another and the to a third, all
produced rapidly and without
interruption. For example, a careful
pronunciation of the word 'hour' begins
with a vowel quality similar to 'ɑ:', goes
on to 'ʊ' then ends in 'ə'.
9. The triphthongs can be
looked on as being
composed of the five
closing diphthongs
described in the last
section, with 0 added on
the end. Thus we get:
1. eio : ‘layer5, ‘player’
2. aio : ‘liar’, ‘fire’
3. 010 : ‘loyal’, ‘royal’
4. ouo : ‘lower’, ‘mower’
5. auo : ‘power’, ‘hour’
