Presentation made by four Czech people during their Erasmus studies on University of Helsinki on behalf of course called Guidance tutoring. The four cities mentioned are Praha, České Budějovice, Brno and Trutnov as it is the cities which the authors come from.
One day is not enough!
If someone who had not been to Malbork for a long time came today to this picturesque town that was once a stronghold of the Teutonic knights, they would certainly be enchanted by the numerous new attractions and would find the view of the beautiful city centre, with its statue of King Kazimierz Jagiellończyk standing in the middle of the square, unforgettable. The colourful fountain, its waters playing this way and that to the rhythm of the music, the surrounding small architectural features and the numerous small cafes and restaurants combine to generate the fabulous atmosphere of Malbork, which was until recently noted only for its castle, which is the largest in Europe. It is worth stopping and taking a look even if only to confirm that ‘One day is not enough’ is more than just a marketing slogan.

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.

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.

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.

Strasbourg, France, is influenced by the
culture of both Germany and France. It's
also the capital of the Alsace region
known for its delectable wines. There
are cobblestone streets, medieval
architecture and winding canals of La
Petite France in the heart of
Strasbourg's Old Town.

building of
the
Strasbourg
skyline is the

feet tall, it
was the
tallest
building in
the world
until 1874.
8. The Astronomical Clock was completed in 1571 by a team of sculptors, painters,
mathematicians, and watchmakers. It ticked regularly along until one day in 1788 when it
suddenly stopped. After studying it for years, a self-taught Alsatian clockmaker was able to
rebuild the mechanism. It was restarted in 1842 and has ticked on since then.
13. Strasbourg, France
Situated on the border of France and Germany, Strasbourg
blends the cultures of both countries in a delightful way. As capital
of the Alsace region and seat of the Council of Europe and
European Parliament, it is without a doubt an important city, yet it
manages to retain its historic charm.
A Walking Tour is a must and you will discover Europe at its most
quintessential. Visit the monumental red-sandstone Gothic
cathedral with its ancient murals, stained-glass windows, and
fascinating astronomical clock, as well as the magical La Petite
France district, home to half-timbered houses, quaint shops,
inviting bistros, incredible bakeries, fine restaurants, and a
waterfront promenade. Also spend time exploring Place Kléber, a
large historic square in the heart of the city, and Place Gutenberg
in the heart of medieval Strasbourg, which features a statue of the
inventor of the printing press. Dating back to 1570, the traditional
market is one of the oldest and finest in Europe.
15. Strasbourg is a
cosmopolitan city. This

44. In November 1944, just six months before the
end of the War, the Arrow Cross government,
the Hungarian branch of the Nazi party, ordered
all remaining Jews into the Ghetto. During the
next two months, the ruthless Arrow Cross took
as many as 20,000 Jews from the Ghetto to the
banks of the Danube. They had them remove
their shoes so that they could be passed on to
others, and then they shot them and let their
bodies fall into the river.
Sixty years later, two Hungarian artists created
a stirring remembrance of the atrocity, and they
called it "Shoes on the Danube Bank." Sixty
iron pairs of 1940s-style shoes--men's,
women's, and children's--are attached to the
stone at the edge of the Danube, forming a
border that runs about forty-three yards.

Stiftskirche with its blue façade, lies right in the heart
of the Wachau wine region. Above town are the ruins
of the castle where England’s King Richard the
Lionhearted was imprisoned in 1192. The castle ruins
give spectacular views of the town and river.
Then, travel through the beautiful Wachau Valley to
reach Melk after lunch. This afternoon we visit Melk’s
11th-century Benedictine Abbey. Melk’s abbey towers
over the town and is one of Europe’s largest. It houses
an ornate library with over 80,000 printed books and
2,000 manuscripts. It is amazing! The church has
frescoed ceilings, stunning high altar, marble statues,
and 210-foot-high cupola.
We had lunch there and sampled some of the region’s
famous wines.
62. So we have a choice on our last day:
Go to King Ludwig’s Neuschwanstein
(fairytale) Castle or BMW Welt.
It was overcast, drizzly, and cloudy, so I lost.
