Shakespeare is the Veteran of literaturejohnupdike987
Shakespearean tragedy is the designation given to most tragedies written by playwright William Shakespeare. Many of his history plays share the qualifiers of a Shakespearean tragedy, but because they are based on real figures throughout the history of England, they were classified as "histories" in the First Folio. The Roman tragedies—Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra and Coriolanus—are also based on historical figures, but because their sources were foreign and ancient, they are almost always classified as tragedies rather than histories.
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.

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.

William Shakespeare
(1564-1616)
William Shakespeare, the
greatest English poet and
dramatist, was born on
April 23, 1564 in
Stratford-(up) on-Avon,
Warwickshire, in
England.
William Shakespeare
4. Not much is known of
Shakespeare’s father, John
Shakespeare. He was a man of
some importance in Stratford.
He was one of the town
officers and a dealer in corn,
meat, leather, and other
products of the farm.
The poet’s mother, Mary Arden,
was one of the eight daughters
of Robert Arden, a rich farmer
in the village of Wilmcote, John Shakespeare
where the Arden farmstead may
still be seen.
5. John Shakespeare and his wife lived in a well-built house of
rough stone which was two storeys high with small windows
cut in the roof. The house is standing. It is now a museum.
William Shakespeare was born here in a small room. He was the
eldest son and third child of the marriage. Very little is known
about the life of William, especially about his early years. At
the age of seven William was sent to Stratford Grammar
School where he studied for six years.
Shakespeare’s house
6. In 1577 a change came over his
father’s fortunes. John
Shakespeare fell into debt and
had to sell the larger part of his
property. William was taken
from the school and for some
time had to help his father in the
trade. He never went to school
again.
Just what he did between his
fourteenth and eighteenth year is
not known. We know nothing
about these five years of his life.
7. Actors of that
time
When still at Stratford, Shakespeare became well
acquainted with theatrical performances. Stratford was
often visited by traveling companies of players.
Shakespeare may have also seen miracle plays in the
neighbouring town of Coventry.
8. In 1582, when little more than
eighteen, William married
Anne Hathaway, a daughter of
Richard Hathaway who
belonged to a well-respected
yeoman family. Ann was eight
years older than her husband
and it is said that the marriage
was not a happy one. In 1583
their daughter Susanna was
born and in 1585 their twins
House Anne Hathaway named Hamnet and Judith
were born.
9. When William was abort twenty-one, He left for
London, where he had to go through many
difficulties. Probably the first work he did there was at
one of the two theatres that there were in London at
that time. Then he became an actor and soon began to
write plays for the company of actors to which he
belonged. Very many of his plays were acted in a
London theatre called “The Globe”.
“The Globe”
10. There is a story that when Shakespeare reached
London he went straight to the theatre,
determined to get work of some sort there; and
that finding nothing better to do, he began by
holding the horses of the fine gentlemen who
came to see the plays. It is said that a little later
he was employed to call out the names of the
actors and pieces, and after a time was given a
small part to act. But the soon showed that he
could make himself mast useful in changing old
plays which the actors themselves could not
do. Every old play that Shakespeare took in
hand, he made into something different and far
better. Then he began to write plays himself.
Shakespeare wrote 37 plays altogether. He is
also known as the author of two poems and 154
sonnets.

SHAKESPEARE'S BIRTHDAY
CEREMONY
By an odd chance, England's greatest writer,
William Shakespeare, was born on St. George's
Day, 1564, in Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire,
and also died on the saint's day in 1616. Every
23rd April is now a day of special pageantry in
Stratford.
12. The birthday always begins early in the morning with the
ringing of the bells of Holy Trinity Church where
Shakespeare is buried. Flags from many nations are
unfurled, they are on all the shops and houses. Along
the main street about 100 tall poles have been put up.
Soon bugles are blown and then one after another a
flag appears at the top of each pole. Each flag is of a
different country.

Trinity Church.
13. In the afternoon a band playing music and followed by
many people marches up the street. The Mayor leads
a distinguished procession to lay flowers on
Shakespeare's grave at Holy Trinity Church.
After seeing this ceremony many people go to see the
house where Shakespeare was born. The house is
still the same as it was when he lived in it.

Shakespeare is buried.
14. At night people go to the beautiful
theatre by the side of the River
Avon. Here they see one of his plays
acted by some of the greatest actors
in the country. And every night from
April till October every seat in this
theatre is filled by people from all
parts of the world.
15. There is a very old hotel in Stratford that was
probably there in Shakespeare's time. It has
some Tudor beautiful tables and chairs; and the
rooms have no numbers on the doors as most
hotels have. Instead every room has the name of
a Shakespeare's play on it - the Hamlet room,
the Romeo and Juliet room and so on.
16. Shakespeare was probably proud to celebrate his
birthday on the feast of great St. George. In one
of his plays he shows how ordinary English
people were stirred by their brave patron saint.
Just before his soldiers go into battle, their King,
Henry V, tells them to shout: "God for Harry,
England and Saint George!"
