The Halloween trailer adheres to several codes and conventions of slasher horror films. It begins with a deserted house shown in darkness to set an ominous tone. Scenes then show the killer stalking and stabbing victims while wearing a mask, adhering to the trope of the psychopathic masked killer. Though the reveal of a child's face under the mask is a paradigm shift from the expected reveal of an adult male. Throughout, fast-paced music and minimal lighting add tension. The trailer also hints at the "final girl" trope through its concluding chase scene of the killer pursuing the lone female survivor. Overall, the director uses many familiar slasher elements like the masked killer, young victims, and

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.

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.

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.

How does the Halloween trailer adhere to the codes and conventions of the slasher horror sub-
genre?
As ineveryslasherhorrorfilm,Halloweentrailercontainsfamiliar codes and conventions of slasher
horror sub-genre which can be found in slasher film such as a psychopathic masked killer stalking
and killing a group of young victims where there is always a single female survivor ‘The Final Girl’.
The iconography which you see first when the trailer starts is a deserted house and the camera
movement during the first scene looks like it is being handheld as the movement of the camera is
not verysmooth.Also,thisgivesyouthe feelingof the killerisapproaching whichhelpsto build up a
sense of tension.Aswell as,asthe camerapans the house itgives you a view of the setting which is
surroundedbydarkness andinthe backgroundyou can hearnon-diegeticeerie sound which creates
a purpose of fearand terror. Ina typical slasherhorrorfilm, the locationis mostly either a suburban
neighbourhoodorina woods and having a deserted house in a middle of nowhere always gives an
expectation to the audience as to something will occur here. Also, the setting is always set during
the nighttime and it is always surrounded by darkness so it can help to make the atmosphere look
scarier.
In the second scene of the trailer, a point of view shot is used where it shows the killer stabbing
someone and we can see that they are wearing a mask which implies that they are hiding their
identity and this suggests that they know what they are doing. Furthermore, in that scene we can
see themusinga knife whichadherestothe codesandconventionsof a slasher horror sub-genre as
the mask and the knife highlights the idea of a psychopathic killer who has planned out the
murdering.In additional,propslike knife is apredicted object which is highly used in slasher horror
theme filmwhere the killerusestokill someone withnoregret. In the trailer there is an example of
paradigmshiftbeingusedi.e.duringthe scene where the maskistaken off it shows a face of a little
boy,thisis a paradigm shift because as an audience we would be predicting an older man’s face to
be shown after the mask is being pulled off as normally in a slasher horror film as an audience we
always see the killer in a mask.
Throughout the trailer there is a non-diegetic sound playing in the background and as things are
about to get intense, the pace of the music speeds up also there are a lot short shots of the scene
shownwheneverthe killerisnexttohisvictim.By adding fast paced music, it helps the audience to
focus on other senses and it makes them feel as if we are all in the same situation as the victim in
the trailer. Also, throughout the trailer the scene is mostly dark and the lighting is used to add
tension to the scene and, the minimal lighting used to add shadows In order to create mysterious
feeling. Besides one of the convention of slasher films are the connotations of shadows which
creates mysteries is one of the important aspects of slasher film films.
From the traileryoucan sort of get an ideaas an audience ashow the filmisstructure. For example,
inthe lastscene of the traileritshowsthe chase scene where the killerischasingthe victim who is a
female andthisisverystereotypicalinaslasherhorrorfilmbecause nearthe endof the film, there is
always a female survivor who defeats the psychopathic killer and thus the name ‘The final girl’ is
said. In slasher horror film, the main character who is a young female they are always shown as a
vulnerable and weak character.
In conclusion,fromthisparadigmIcan see how the director has used codes and conventions of the
slasherhorrorsub-genre inthe Halloweentrailerwhichemphasisethe keyaspects of the movie such
as masked killer, young female, knife.
