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”.

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.

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.
3. Question 1a
• Digital technology – is a form of electronic media where data are stored in digital, as opposed to
analog, form. It can refer to technical aspects of storage and transmission (e.g. hard disk drives or
computer networking) of information or to the ‘end product’, such as digital video.
• Creativity – The use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work.
• Research and Planning – Research, by definition means to study something thoroughly in order to gain a
wider knowledge on it or collect information about it. Planning is the process of making plans for
something.
• Post-production – All of this planning and filming leads up to this. Post production turns individual
scenes, called raw footage, into a finished motion picture. Editors cut footage together, composers add
music and special effects are added all during post-production.
• Using conventions from real media texts – Using typical features of other media products.
4. Digital Technology
1. In order to incorporate digital technology into the production of my magazine, I used a digital camera to take
the images I included. I used a Canon SLR camera. This benefited the overall outcome of my magazine
images because I could use special effects like adjusting the focus of the camera, which I could not have
done if I used for example a polaroid camera.
2. During the production of my magazine, the main tool I used was Adobe Photoshop. I used a card reader to
transport my images from the digital camera to my computer. I then edited the images (e.g. cropped the
images, changed the brightness/contrast). An example of how I used this technology was when I changed
the colour of the image on my contents page to black and white.
3. Another creative decision I made was to make a ‘behind the scenes’ video using Adobe Premiere. In this
video I put together all of the images taken of me while conducting the outdoor photo shoot in order to
show the production of my magazine in a more personal way.
5. Creativity
1. Where and how I used the camera equipment when doing my photo shoots required creativity. I decided to do an
indoor photo shoot and an outdoor photo shoot because I thought this would provide more variety. I had to be creative
when choosing where to shoot when going outside. I used my creativity to decide that I wanted to include nature and
foliage. I also used creativity when taking the images because I adjusted the camera to focus more on my model and
less on the background to give it a more unique look.
2. When using Adobe Photoshop, I had to be creative when thinking about how I wanted the layout of my magazine to
be, and what colours I wanted to include. I also had to be creative when using my Photoshop skills. I also had to be
creative when using different font effects and when using effects on my images, like making the creative decision to
change one of my images to black and white to make it more effective. Another effect I used on a font was to add a
drop shadow. This created a more interesting and eye-catching look to the fonts and made them stand out more.
3. I had to be creative when choosing what my model was going to wear. The colours and designs had to represent the
indie/rock genre therefore I had to choose clothes which I knew could do this well. I found inspiration from other
indie/rock magazines and then asked my model for creative input. I gave her guidelines as to a few specific pieces of
clothing I wanted to see (like the checked shirt and biker boots she wore) but then also gave her some creative control
because she fit the indie/rock genre.
6. Research and Planning
1. In order to research before making my magazine. I spent lots of time looking at other indie/rock magazines
like NME and spent a lot of time on their websites to gain more information about the layout of the
magazine and the overall tone of how I would need to present my magazine. I also looked at the
magazines for inspiration for the outfits indie/rock artists wear.
2. In order to plan for my magazine, I first did a few drafts of my front cover,
double page spreads and contents page. This allowed me to know what colours I wanted to include in my
magazine and also what type of layout I wanted to create. I researched other real music magazines’
layouts to make sure I used typical conventions.
3. I also planned how often my magazine would be published. I decided it would be published
monthly, which meant I had to make sure my contents page reflected how packed full of
information this magazine would be. Since it would be published monthly, realistically it
would be very full of information and have a lot of pages. Therefore, I used this planning
well to determine the number of pages I would have.
7. Post-production
1. For the post-production process, we had to complete an evaluation of our work. This allowed us to
determine our strengths and weaknesses in our magazine. One of the evaluation points was related to
codes and conventions and how we used them when making our magazine. I included information about
how I used the conventions of a clear masthead, barcode and button.
2. Also, I got lots of feedback from my target audience, general magazine readers and others. This allowed
me to understand what I did well and what I didn’t. I spent a lot of time showing audiences my magazine
and filmed their comments and reactions.
3. After receiving feedback, I made the necessary improvements to my magazine
before I submitted my final piece. This allowed me to make good use of my
feedback and to make my magazine the best it could be. I filmed my target
audience while I asked them questions about what they liked/disliked
about my magazine and put it on my blog so I could refer to it constantly.
8. Using conventions from real media
texts
1. There are several typical codes and conventions for real media texts which needed to be incorporated into
my magazine. For example, a convention from a magazine used widely during production is a clear
masthead at the top of the magazine front cover. I did this with my ‘BASS’ masthead.
2. Another typical convention of an indie/rock music magazine is the colour scheme. The colour scheme
usually includes red, black white and grey which I used as my colour scheme throughout my magazine.
Indie/rock magazines tend to have very contrasting colours, some of which are bright to be striking.
3. Another typical code/convention from real music magazines is to have a close-up shot as my front cover
image. I decided to conform to this convention because I think it makes my front cover more eye-catching
and would give it a more professional appearance.
