Two news reporters are trying to uncover a story that gets them into trouble. They are being targeted by a clear villain who is picking off characters one by one. The protagonist is trying to stop the villain to save his friend, whose time is running out. The setting changes from the reporters' office to a house through clues left for them. Tense music, police tape, a running clock showing the time escaping, and a flatline sound build urgency and convey the themes of being targeted and running out of time in this thriller narrative.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.
2. Narrative
• Story structure connotes a thriller/drama
• Focuses on two news reporters (shown in the beginning with an over
the shoulder shot/high angle shot), trying to uncover a story, that
gets them into trouble. From the context given (e.g. time escaping), it
creates a tense atmosphere that is seen in many thriller/drama
genres
• The themes include being targeted (the close up of the envelope
initiates this idea, including the diegetic sound getting more serious),
murder mystery (mise en scene plays a large role
throughout specifically when the protagonist is framed with the
setting, creating a sense of mystery with where they are going)
3. Characters
• Clear villain (guy in the mask, deep diegetic voice, connotes thriller)
close up of villain on the laptop, shows importance of character, as an
ark to the story
• Horror themes presented through picking off characters 'one by one'
• Clear protagonist has the will to stop this person, as his friend is in
trouble, shown through panicked mise en scene at 3 hours, knowing
his time is coming to an end
4. Setting
• The time frame is modern day, as the story line stays consistent, with
modern technology, and one of the main arks in the narrative is
through using modern technology (e.g. video message, memory
sticks, etc – good use of props)
• Office setting, helps with character identity of news reporters, good
to establish this at the beginning, but to keep the duration short, so
not too much is given away
• Setting changes through close up of writing on paper, and by using
match on action, the scene changes with good continuity to a house
with the same number 9 at the hour of 9, this creates a certain
importance around the number
5. Iconography
• Police tape at 0:29 connotes danger and themes of a thriller, or even
crime thriller
• Tense non-diegetic sound throughout
• Time escaping them, emphasized by the running clock in top right
hand of screen (done, so not to take away from the narrative), this
links up to a close up at then end of his watch, quite iconic of thrillers
• Flatline diegetic sound at 0:50, then with the match on action of the
other character rushing to his side (shown through a mid shot),
connotes urgency and the theme of running out of time
6. Style
• Lots of close ups, to show how the mise en scene of a
character/scene is trying to be expressed with the context given
• Fast in duration, so to emphasize the tense atmosphere and the
theme that their running out of time
• High key lighting, as perhaps want to take the film as far away from
camera work styles (e.g. low key lighting) associated with horror films
