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.

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.

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.
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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.

2. Camera
Low angle shot - from using a low angle shot throughout my trailer, this will be able
to indicate to the audience just how dominant, strong and powerful the
antagonist is. Low angle shots will be a constant reminded of this and will also
add to the sympathy and fear they feel for the victims. I could also use this on
my film poster, which is common and is shown in existing media products, such
as the film poster for Friday the 13th.
High angle shot - from the use of a high angle shot, it allows the audience to see how
vulnerable the victim is, creating empathy as well as fear. Throughout my trailer,
if I use high angle shots, it will continue to remind the audience just how
dominant the killer is, portraying them in a undefeatable manner, therefore
keeping the audience on their toes wanting to come and watch the film.
Close ups - from the use of a close up the audience is exposed to more detail. Within
a slasher this is conventional, although the identity of the killer is usually
hidden behind a mask, we are able to see a short few second glimpse of the
mask on the odd occasion, which will lead to the audience having flash backs of
the mask creating a long lasting horrific imagery effect. Therefore, I believe this
will be beneficial to add within my trailer. Additionally, close ups are often used
on front covers on magazines, this could be beneficial for me to look into.
However, I would want the image on the front cover of the magazine have some
3. This high angle shot is taken from the 2005
interpretation of the ‘House of Wax’. This shot
enables to victim to look weak, vulnerable and
helpless. Leading for the audience to think that
they are going to die in a matter of time. By using
this in my own trailer, I will be able to build up
anticipation as to whether the character will
survive or not.
In my own trailer I intend to use a high angle shot
within the second montage whereby everything
goes wrong and the audience are presented with
action that is going to take place in the film. It will
be used to show one of the protagonists screaming
for help and then a eyeline shot will be used to see
what the protagonists last sights were.
The use of a low angle shot is
used in order to make the
antagonist more scary, dominant
and masculine, making the
audience fear him even more. I
plan to use this shot type in my
own poster image, to create
similar effects. Not only this, I
would like to use it again in the
trailer, whereby the antagonist
would be walking across the
bridge, tapping his axe against it,
whilst the camera is dollying
backwards from a low angle shot.
This close up is taken from A Nightmare on Elm
Street of the villain, Freddy Krueger. The close
up is used to give the audience an insight to the
face of the killer - despite him being masked. It
allows for them to remember the face in the
back of their mind as a lasting effect.
I want to use this camera shot but in a different
effect. I would like to use it at the end of my
trailer for the sting, so that the audience will be
scared, once again, not being able to forget the
antagonist to our film, Deadwood Grove.
4. Pans are almost always used at the beginning of a trailer in order to
show a location, it sets the scene and can cause an uneasy
feeling for the audience as they are usually abandoned locations.
In ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ different cuts are used in order to
show the audience around a large abandoned area, this will
make the audience anxious, as they await for something to pop
out at them.
Establishing shots may also be used at the beginning of a trailer, just
showing one particular location, rather than the area of a
location like in a pan shot. This adds extra emphasis on this
location allowing the audience to gather thoughts and jump to
the conclusion that bad things will happen at this location.
Other standard shots that will are conventional within horror films
are; medium close ups, which allows the audience to see more
depth and detail of where the characters are, as well as being
close enough to show emotion still. Long shots will do the same,
however, emotion will not be as evident, the focus will be on the
character/costume or the location. Extreme long shots will
mainly be used in order to show a location and are most
common in establishing shots.
Cuts taken from the beginning of the ‘Nightmare on Elm Street’
(2010) trailer, showing an abandoned location. They are also
establishing shots.
5. For our trailer we embed the pan at the
beginning with the establishing shot in order for
our audience to establish that this is where the
film is going to be located. Not only that but also
where all the action is going to take place. As
you can see, it is still light, however the general
vibe is murky and eerie, effectively setting the
scene for the audience.
6. This is a long shot taken from the 2013 interpretation of
the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. From this shot we can
see partial parts of the location - it looks like he is on a
rooftop. The costume - jeans and a t-shirt. The idea he is
wearing a mask, as well as the fact he is starting up a
chainsaw. I want to recreate a similar shot, but instead
from the front, as he's walking across a bridge to capture
on of his victims, this way the audience will be exposed
to his mask, making him seem more frightening.
Point of view shot of Paris Hilton in the ‘House of Wax’
(2005). This is portrayed from the killers view giving us
an insight as to seeing things from his perspective.
Additionally, as it is a close up we can see the fear on her
face. I wish to implement this into my own work as if
the audience see my character's emotions up close and
personal it will make them empathise with them more.
More importantly, they will be exposed to the
protagonists fear, making them fear the antagonist even
more.
Medium close up taken from scream. This enables us
to see some of the costume, as well as the fact that she
is on the phone. However., the audience still get a clear
insight to the characters emotions and facial
expression.Adding from my point from the image of
Paige from the House of Wax, Casey's emotions are
evident, allowing the audience to understand exactly
what is going on, which is why I am going to use as
many medium close ups as possible.
This is an extreme long shot from ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’. This shot
allows the audience to have an understanding of a location. In this case it
looks to be in some sort of factor. This combined with the dark lighting
creates a scary silhouette of Freddy, intending to scare the audience. I
think this shot combined with lighting would be very effective in my trailer
as part of a montage.
7. Overall, I have come to the conclusion that using a
variety of different shot angles and shot types would
keep my audience entertained, focused and drawn to
my trailer leaving them very little time to get bored.
Additionally, I believe that these shot types are very
popular in films in general, but also in horror films as
they work together in order to build up extra tension,
suspense and fear for the audience.
Conclusion...
