II P RESENTATION
2.1 Braveheart
In 1280, Edward I of England, known as ”Longshanks”, con-
quers Scotland following the death of the Scots’ king, who left
no heir. Young William Wallace witnesses Longshanks’ ex-
ecution of several Scottish nobles, then loses his father and
brother when they resist the English. He is taken on by his
paternal uncle, who educates him.
Years later, Longshanks grants his noblemen land and priv-
ileges in Scotland, including ius primae noctis, while his son
marries Isabella of France. Meanwhile, a grown Wallace re-
turns home and secretly marries his childhood friend Murron
MacClannough. Wallace rescues Murron from being raped by
English soldiers, but as he fights off the soldiers, Murron is
captured and publicly executed. In retribution, Wallace and
the locals overthrow the English garrison, beginning a rebel-
lion. Longshanks orders his son to stop Wallace while he cam-
paigns in France. Wallace defeats an English army at Stirling,
then invades England and sacks York. He also connects with
Robert the Bruce, a contender for the Scottish crown. Upon re-
turning to England and confronting his son, Longshanks sends
Isabella to negotiate with Wallace as a distraction from the ar-
rival of Longshanks’ forces. After meeting Wallace, Isabella
becomes enamored with him. She warns him of Longshanks’
plans, and Wallace implores the Scottish nobility to help him.
Wallace faces Longshanks at Falkirk. During the battle, nobles
Mornay and Lochlan withdraw, having been bribed by Long-
shanks, resulting in Wallace’s army being overwhelmed. Wal-
lace also discovers Robert the Bruce had joined Longshanks.
After the battle, Robert vows to not be on the wrong side again.
Wallace kills Mornay and Lochlan for their betrayal and
foils an assassination plot with Isabella’s help, and then has
sex with her, while Longshanks’ health declines. At a meet-
ing in Edinburgh, Wallace is captured. Learning of his father’s
responsibility, Robert disowns his father. In England, Wallace
is tried for high treason and condemned to execution. After
a final meeting with Wallace, Isabella tells Longshanks, who

can no longer speak, that his bloodline will end upon his death
as she is pregnant with Wallace’s child and will ensure that
Longshanks’ son spends as short a time as possible as monarch
before Wallace’s child replaces him. At his execution, Wallace
refuses to submit, even while being disemboweled. The magis-
trate encourages Wallace to seek mercy and be granted a quick
death. Wallace instead shouts, ”Freedom!”, while Longshanks
dies. Before being beheaded, Wallace sees a vision of Murron
in the crowd.
In 1314, Robert, now Scotland’s king, faces the English at
Bannockburn, and implores his men to fight with him as they
did with Wallace. Wallace’s former comrade, Hamish, throws
Wallace’s sword to land point-down in the ground, then Robert
leads the Scots to a final victory.
2.2 Martin luther king’s speech
”I Have a Dream” is a public speech that was delivered
by American civil rights activist and Baptist minister Martin
Luther King Jr. during the March on Washington for Jobs and
Freedom on August 28, 1963. In the speech, King called for
civil and economic rights and an end to racism in the United
States. Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from
the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the
speech was one of the most famous moments of the civil rights
movement and among the most iconic speeches in American
history.
Beginning with a reference to the Emancipation Proclama-
tion, which declared millions of slaves free in 1863,[5] King
said ”one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free”. To-
ward the end of the speech, King departed from his prepared
text for a partly improvised peroration on the theme ”I have a
dream”, prompted by Mahalia Jackson’s cry: ”Tell them about
the dream, Martin!” In this part of the speech, which most ex-
cited the listeners and has now become its most famous, King
described his dreams of freedom and equality arising from a
land of slavery and hatred.
Jon Meacham writes that, ”With a single phrase, King joined
Jefferson and Lincoln in the ranks of men who’ve shaped
modern America”. The speech was ranked the top American
speech of the 20th century in a 1999 poll of scholars of pub-
lic address. The speech has also been described as having ”a
strong claim to be the greatest in the English language of all
time”.
2.3 Why communication ?
Communication is pivotal in various spheres, serving as the
cornerstone for effective collaboration, conflict resolution, and
relationship-building. By facilitating the exchange of ideas,
information, and perspectives, it fosters teamwork, innovation,
and mutual understanding. Moreover, communication plays
1/3
 F RIDAY W ORKSHOPS -JAN -N OV-2024 I NDIAN I NSTITUTE OF S CIENCE

a vital role in disseminating knowledge, influencing opinions,

and promoting emotional well-being, thereby driving personal
growth, organizational success, and societal cohesion. Its sig-
nificance lies in its ability to bridge gaps, foster connections,
and empower individuals and communities to navigate chal-
lenges, achieve common goals, and thrive in diverse environ-
ments.

2.4 How the slide must be presented

1. Do not write Sentences, write points.
2. Limit the number of slides.
Figure 1: The designed PCB
3. Logical partition

4. Do not mix different sections in one slide

5. Use Pictures, Figures, Block diagrams, Tables, Charts,
Graphs, Timing Diagrams
6. Do not take these directly from publications as it would
be very small, and detailed.

tegrity of the brand. Trademarks can include words, logos,
slogans, colors, sounds, and even product packaging. Regis-
tration of trademarks provides owners with exclusive rights to
use the mark in connection with specific goods or services and
allows for enforcement against infringement. Maintaining and
protecting trademarks through proper usage and monitoring is
essential for preserving their distinctiveness and value in the
marketplace.

4.4 Trade Secrets

Trade secrets are confidential information that provides busi-
nesses with a competitive advantage and derives value from
being kept secret. Unlike patents, trademarks, or copyrights,
trade secrets are not registered with a government agency but
instead rely on the maintenance of secrecy to retain their value.
Examples of trade secrets include formulas, recipes, manu-
facturing processes, customer lists, and marketing strategies.
Businesses safeguard trade secrets through non-disclosure
agreements, employee training, physical and digital security
measures, and restricted access to sensitive information. In
cases of misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure, trade se-
cret owners can seek legal remedies to protect their proprietary
information and hold perpetrators accountable.

V M ECHANICAL WORKSHOP - L ATHE

The following operations were performed for the taper turning
using lathe machine:
1. Levelling and alignment- It is required to align the chuck
axis of rotation to the axis of the job which is held on the chuck.
2. Center hole and holding- It is required to hold the job se-
curely from both end so that it does not move while operation.
The job is held on chuck from one side. From the other end it
is held by tail stock.
3. Taper boring- The boring tool is held in the tool holder
and rotated by the required degrees and the boring bar is
brought in contact with the center then the motor is started and
turned off on getting required boring.
