Settings are usually places frequented by teenagers like schools, camps, or suburban neighborhoods.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

3. The Killer Stereotype of a slasher film killer is often that the killer is a supernatural boogie man wilding a machete. The killer is an ordinary person who has suffered some kind of great trauma abuse or injustice in there life and there killing streak is a way to get revenge and forward angers trailing from past events. The victims are never random but linked with the killers past.
4. The Killer The killer is masked to console the killers identity until the final scene, if unmasked there identity is again kept secret and only revealed in the final scene. The killer is often large and overtly asexual and sexually ambiguous even thou it is always implied that the killer is male with extreme burst of masculinity.
5. The Killer The biggest convention with the killer is that they appear to have unrealistic immortality/indestructibility and super strength of this character. This is done so the killer can always come back in numerous sequels and rain terror once more. One of the most common conventions in the slasher is the point of view from the killer shots, first achieved by John Carpenter in Halloween . Jason is depicted as a supernatural force depicting him as being raised from the dead via electricity; this version of Jason—a zombie serial killer rather than a mortal superhuman-- would become the standard depiction for the rest of the franchise, until 2009's reboot
6. Weapons Weapons of choice include; swords, razors, axes, machetes, arrows, chain-saws, power drills, hammers, spears, saws, scythes, hatchets, darts, sickles and pitch forks. Basically anything that slashes and also any other sharp or pointed objects lying around. Also sometimes a specific weapon is reserved for a specific victim.
