This advertisement depicts a beautiful woman resembling Marilyn Monroe holding a beer. It aims to attract both wealthy men and envious women by portraying the product as a symbol of luxury and sophistication. However, the representation that consuming this beer could make one attractive is inaccurate and promotes unhealthy values.

The silent influencers- written in 2004, Bradford, UKBabita Baruah
I wrote this in 2004- many moons ago... as my last presentation in Bradford, where I had gone for the Chevening scholarship. The last section is about what I learnt there as a person.
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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.
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

They may be accurate or
inaccurate.

5. What is the Intention of this representation?
The woman from the ad looks exactly like Marilyn
Monroe from the shape of the eyebrows to the
curls that sit on the top of her head. Even their
smiles are the same!!
‘Few stars of the 1950’s were so compelling, so
singular, that they came to define the era in
which they lived and in which they created their
most enduring work. Marilyn Monroe was one of
those stars.’ The ad being analysed was also
created in the 1950’s, when Marilyn Monroe was
well known. People would have seen this ad,
connected the dots and instantly been
attracted.
The tagline is ‘A magnet for me,’ which could be
talking about the beer as a magnet to the
buyers or a love connection. Seeing the tagline
and the beautiful woman who resembles the
famous and sexy celebrity called Marilyn
Monroe could seal the deal for the young and
rich men. The woman is also striking a
provocative pose that reveals a lot of her leg
(this also connects to Marilyn Monroe as she was
known as a ‘sex symbol.’) The intention of this
ad is to get the men attracted enough to buy
the beer (the word ‘Magnet’ stands out) and to
make rich and classy women envious of the
woman’s expensive look.
It’s all about standing out!
6. Who is the target audience? How would they
read this representation and why?
This woman in the ad is young and
beautiful. And , if you look at her dress
and the jewellery in her ears and on
her neck, you will see that she looks
quite rich and classy, which would
appeal to the rich and classy females
of that time. The rich and classy
women would be in awe of the
beautiful woman in the ad, and would
want to be like her . They would then
see the beer in her hand and be
convinced that drinking beer is for rich
people, and that it is classy and makes
you look good.
The woman in the ad is also showing a
lot of leg, which would appeal to
young and also perhaps rich men. The
men would also be attracted to the
woman’s face as she is drawn to be a
look alike of a famous celebrity of that
time by the name of Marilyn Monroe.
Both audiences would be attracted,
and the women perhaps envious of
the beauty and elegance of the
woman in the ad.
7. Is it accurate/truthful? Is it a positive or negative representation?
This representation is positive, as
the woman is beautiful and
is shown to be rich and
classy and ‘proper,’ even
with a beer in her hand.
And the tagline reads, ‘a
magnet for me.’ It suggests
that something about this

8. What values underlie this representation?
The values that underlie this
representation are that by being
a beautiful woman wearing
expensive attire, striking an
extremely provocative pose, and
holding some of ‘John Smith’s
Magnet Pale Ale’ can make you
attractive. It tells young women
that by purchasing this product,
wearing these clothes and
exposing a lot of skin, you are
attractive.

any attention away from the
product being advertised.
The actual product being advertised is
nice and big under the title of the
product.
10. How has this representation been
constructed using codes and conventions?
In the ad, the woman’s whole body is
shown. This means that you are able
to see the leg that the woman’s dress
reveals. The ad mainly consists of the
colours yellow (the word’s ‘pale ale’),
orange (the woman’s skin, ‘a magnet
for me’ and the pale ale), cream (the
woman’s dress and the froth of the
ale), black (‘MAGNET’) and white
(the background and the woman’s
shoes).
The colours:
Yellow- associated with joy,
happiness, optimism and energy.
Black- powerful, elegant, depressing
and heavy but when used positively,
may be sophisticated.
White- simplicity, cleanliness, purity,
youth and innocence.
Orange- warm and calm.
Cream- elegance, purity, softness,
warm and richer than pure white.
11.
12. What is the Intention of this representation?
The main image of this ad is the man
and woman embracing each other.
The intention of this representation is
to get people who want this kind of
love, and who want to be held this
way to notice the couple, and then
the tagline and finally the product.
‘Pursue your daydreams’ is the tagline
for this product and it can appeal to
everyone, as everyone has
daydreams or even just dreams they
want to see happen. For example,
some people daydream of the kind of
love shown between the man and
woman in the ad. The man and
woman’s embrace can also be seen
as sexual. The woman is only dressed
in a bikini, and her thighs are in full
view. The man’s head rests on the
woman’s almost bare chest and his
hands are wrapped around her
bottom. Alcohol and sex have been
used together before, so perhaps the
people advertising this product are
using sex to sell it.
13. Who is the target audience? How would they
read this representation and why?
This ad easily appeals to single young
men and women who are looking for
love or are looking to pursue their
‘daydreams.’ The ad tells them that
they can have what they dream of if
only they pursue it. It is telling them
that they can have the kind of love
that the people in the ad have if only
they pursue it. They imply that the first
step to pursuing and eventually
getting what they really want is buying
the alcohol.
The lonely men and women who see this
ad would look at how happy the
couple in the picture are and how
they are both smiling happily and the
woman is tightly clinging onto the one
she loves. They would start to think
about how much they want a love like
that in their lives, and what would they
do? Pursue that daydream.
14. Is it accurate/truthful? Is it a positive or negative
representation?
It is an extremely positive representation. It
tells people that anyone can get what
they want by pursuing it. They are
almost telling people to pursue the
product, not what they actually want,
which could be love and a sexual
relationship as represented by the
couple on the screen. It is both
accurate and inaccurate. You can
pursue your daydreams, but,
depending on how you read it, the ad
is either telling the audience that their
daydream is the product or that they
can reach their daydream by
purchasing and consuming the
product. And, at the bottom of the
ad, in tiny writing it says ‘drink
responsibly,’ which is telling you (if you
manage to catch the phrase) that
you are drinking responsibly if you are
drinking Jose Cuervo.
15. What values underlie this representation?
The values that underlie this
representation is that people should
pursue whatever their heart desires
and by doing that, they will
eventually get it. Also, as explained
before, they are using sex to make
their product more desirable for the
intended audience. This is telling
people that sex is a good thing that
they can have whenever they
want, and sex may be a good thing
but, you should not take it for
granted.

could make it easier to see. The picture of the couple is too big
and takes the attention away from the
product.
17. How has this ad been constructed using codes
and conventions?
The product itself is a yellow colour and, as
explained before, yellow is the colour of
joy, happiness, energy and sunshine. This fits
well with the tagline of the ad, ‘Pursue your
daydreams.’ The rest of the ad is in black
and white, which could be so the product
stands out.
19. Comparison
The two ads are about alcohol,
and they both use sex (or a sex
symbol) to make their product
more attractive. The woman in the
1950’s ad is striking a provocative
pose that reveals a lot of her leg,
and the woman in the other ad is
wearing a bikini that reveals even
more. However, in the 1950’s ad,
they use a celebrity look alike of
Marilyn Monroe to attract people
to the ad and in the newer ad,
they do not. Instead, in the newer
ad, they use people’s desires to
persuade them to buy the product.
In the 1950’s ad, they show the
product under the title, and it
stands out because it is quite big. In
the newer ad, the product is small
(it is placed in the right hand
corner) and therefore easy to miss.
Both ads have similarities and
differences, good points and bad
points, but on the whole, the ad
that is better is ‘John Smith’s Pale
Ale.’
Editor's Notes
Subject of representation: John Smith’s Pale Ale and Jose Cuervo, which are two different brands of alcohol.
The URL for the quote: http://life.time.com/icons/marilyn-monroe-early-photos-los-angeles-1950/#1
...Which would appeal to the rich and classy females of that time. They would see her face, jewellery and dress, and instantly be interested. However, the woman may be taking away the attention that is supposed to be on the beer. She is holding the beer in her hand, which may show the women that beer is meant for classy and rich folk.
Orange- warm and calm like a sunset. This woman is supposed to look elegant and sexy, and the colours chosen help achieve that.
So their intention could be to use sex, whom a lot of people in this generation want, to sell the product by telling them that’s what you get if you buy the alcohol. Got the idea of ‘sex selling the product’ from a blog that I don’t remember the name of.
Which could make it easier to see, but if someone is in a rush, they wont have time to search the ad for the product, they will only see the big picture.
