Horror films commonly use certain iconography like haunted houses, knives, and depictions of blood and death. They are usually set in dark and isolated places at night that make people feel vulnerable, like abandoned buildings. The narrative typically involves a monster terrorizing a group of people in a battle of good versus evil. To build suspense and mystery, horror movies employ scary sounds and point-of-view camera shots. They often feature supernatural killers targeting female or young adult victims. Recurring themes are struggles between good and evil or other moral dilemmas.

All of us have similar experiences. We share in the life journey of growth, development, and
transformation. We live the same stories, whether they involve the search for a perfect mate, coming
home, the search for fulfillment, going after an ideal, achieving the dream, or hunting for a precious
treasure. Whatever our culture, there are universal stories that form the basis for all our particular
stories. The trappings might be different, the twists and turns that create suspense might change
from culture to culture, the particular characters may take different forms, but underneath it all, it's
the same story, drawn from the same experiences.
Many of the most successful films are based on these universal stories. They deal with the
basic journey we take in life. We identify with the heroes because we were once heroic (descriptive)
or because we wish we could do what the hero does (prescriptive). When James Bond saves the
world, we identify with the character, and subconsciously recognize the story as having some
connection with our own lives. It’s the same story as the fairy tales about getting the three golden
hairs from the devil, or finding the treasure and winning the princess. And it’s not all that different a
story from the caveman killing the woolly beast or the Roman slave gaining his freedom through skill
and courage. These are our stories – personally and collectively – and the most successful films
contain these universal experiences.
Some of these stories are “search” stories. They address our desire to find some kind of rare
and wonderful treasure. This might include the search for outer values such as job, relationship, or
success; or for inner values such as respect, security, self-expression, love, or home. But it’s all a
similar search.
Some of these stories are “hero” stories. They come from our own experiences of overcoming
adversity, as well as our desire to do great and special acts. We root for the hero and celebrate when
he or she achieves the goal because we know that the hero's journey is in many ways similar to our
own.
We call these stories myths. Myths are the common stories at the root of our universal
existence. They’re found in all cultures and in all literature, ranging from the Greek myths to fairy
tales, legends, and stories drawn from all of the world's religions.
A myth is a story that is “more than true.” Many stories are true because one person,
somewhere, at some time, lived it. It is based on fact. But a myth is more than true because it is lived
by all of us, at some level. It's a story that connects and speaks to us all.
Some myths are true stories that attain myth ...

London, 1953. Scientists are on the verge of discovering what they call the secret of life: the DNA double helix. Providing the key is driven young physicist Rosalind Franklin. But if the double helix was the breakthrough of the 20th century, then what kept Franklin out of the history books? A play about ambition, isolation, and the race for greatness.
Anna Ziegler is an American Playwright who is known for her use of language and whip-sharp dialogue.
(2008) Photograph 51: This play is one that she has noted as “opening many doors (for her) professionally”, due to its positive critical response and great deal of media attention due to the impressive casting of Nichole Kidman.

I am malala annotation insert - Annotation Guide cheat sheet
I am Malala annotation insert, to go along with the series of videos available at 'Mr Kolber's Teaching' on YouTube. I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday.
When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.
On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive.
Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
I Am Malala is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
