Brandon Parker created 3 experimental photographs. The first used a reflection in a river to create symmetry. He added stars from a stock image. The second used lighting and himself as a shadow to create a dream-like effect. The third layered rain drops and lights reflecting in water to add effects. While each had their own theme, an overarching theme was not fully realized due to time constraints. Overall, the images experimented with editing techniques to manipulate photographs in unconventional ways.
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.

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.

3. My first image started as a standard photograph that I had taken whilst walking across a
bridge across the river Ouse at the early hours of the morning when I took the
photograph I didn’t realise but I had captured a perfect reflection of the trees along the
river, because of this it didn’t matter as to which way I have the picture as no matter
the rotation it looks the same although you can tell from the original that there's a
different as I have cropped it to make it symmetrical sizing and to make the reflection
the main part of the image. I didn’t notice this until looking at the photograph and
someone pointing it out to me as I originally took it with the idea of have the main
focus on one part of the image and then rest blurred. After importing the photograph
into Photoshop I was then able to look at the levels of the image and then make certain
parts brighter although when I did so I felt the image looked to much and didn’t look as
good as it did originally so I took that off as it didn’t look right, then I had a look at
importing stock images from the internet to see if I could import them and make it look
none realistic as that’s what part of experimental photography means in my eyes
anyway and so I tried importing stars, when I did they were hard to be seen when I put
them on the actually sky which is at the bottom as I did rotate the image 180 degrees to
be the opposite and so I tried putting the stars in with the river which was the reflection
and so looked a bit better but you still can’t really see it but when you look you are able
to see them. There wasn’t really any photographer that I was trying to mirror when I
took this photograph although the images created by Jerry Uelsmann is a standard I
could only dream of achieving. When I was taking this photograph I wasn’t using any
different types of filters or changing the shutter speed or the aperture.

4. If I was able to redo my image and I had the chance to go back and re-take this image I
would, but only to make the image have the reflection in the direct centre so I wouldn’t
have crop to crop the image, I would also want to take my own picture of the night sky
full of stars so I wouldn't have to use a stock image from the internet as it would then
completely be mean and also look at how i would merge them together so it would be
much more noticeable and affective, but other than that I feel the rest worked well and
I was happy that the picture didn’t need all that much tweaking in order to achieve this
style. As the brightness of the photograph worked well as it was and I was impressed at
the fact it was taken with just a standard filter with the least amount of editing possible
for the Photoshop edit. I feel it works as an experiment photograph as I have edited it
like each different styled photographer has to and although its not aimed at trying to be
like one photographer i just feel its a clear attempt at experimental photograph in my
own way.

6. My second style of experimental photograph worked well and I feel is my favourite out
of the three, using a photograph I had taken from my street which in itself was good
image as it contained the power of thirds meaning it was able to be split into different
segments equally. It contained the sun peering over the end of the street which was
good and the dark clouds coming down on the sun which gave it the look of the night
sky. By changing certain colour levels of the image i was able to make it look almost
night light and by doing so i felt i could add stars in (the same stock image used in the
first image) to give it a more night look. The image still looked liked i would be able to
add more to it without it looked stupid as i like an image to look good but not over the
top, with that in mind i had seen an image where the bright light was going along a dark
walk way next to dark shadowing trees so i thought i could try that as an idea but
instead of using a model I used myself to be walking through my street. I then used a
tool on Photoshop in order to input the bright light at the end and because the sun light
was already in the image it looked well as it fitted with the reflection on each of the
windows. I then imported myself and sized me to be in proportion with the rest of the
image, i then copied this image and rotated 180 degrees and made me completely
black to loo like a shadow of myself which was created by the light and so reaching my
final picture.
I feel the image works well together without being to over the top which is how i feel it
should look and so feel the whole image in itself is a strong point.

7. To me I feel everything about this image works well together and I feel shows off some
of the skills I have acquired throughout the course and using Photoshop admittedly
some of it I used walk through but that was only to achieve the best standard of quality
with my picture and even so was changing it so that it fit in with my picture. Each
different layer is what adds to the picture and is what builds up the actual image to
make it look like its one.
I have centred the beam of light to make it the main focus of the image but each of the
parts around it add up to make the full picture what it is. My theme was to have
pictures that look like dreams like effects, places that only seem dream like but when I
had my photographs that I wanted to use I felt it needed to be changed.

9. With my third image I felt that it was my weakest of the three images although still
worked well and it well suited with the rest if the other two photographs. I made this
from using a picture I had taken from one night in York, then I added a filter on
Photoshop and edit the contrast and colours on first layer. I then added another image
on top of this that I got from the internet of rain drops, as the was rain on the floor i
thought I could make it look like there was rain on the camera lense as it adds a
different sort of affect. And by editing the opacity of the rain made it look more realistic
as if it was actually there from before as i feel the key in my style of photography is to
make it look as realistic. With this wanted to add something more but I wasn't sure until
I looked through some of my other photographs and found one from where i had taken
whilst looking down the river and because the water was still I was able to get a good
reflection of each of the lights as they went down stream. I then added this as a layer
on top of my other picture and changed the contrast on the picture to have the lights as
the brightest part and then change the opacity again so that all you can see would be
the lights on the building as this would work well as there we bright lights reflecting of
the puddles already.
The final result was good in my eyes although as it was my last picture I didn't have as
much time to of spent on it as id of wanted but from all the photographs I had taken I
didn't have to use any different exposure techniques or change the shutter speed but i
was still able to get the final result I want.

10. If I was to restart this whole image I would change the majority I feel its my weakest
photograph, I do like it as a whole but I preferred each of the separate image not as
much as a whole but I do like it overall but I feel that because I didn't have all that much
time in order to make my images I had to rush to get this last one done. The image does
work well as it has a good central image part and the colours are good and work well
together as a whole.
My theme that I originally had hasn't come through on any of the three final images as i
would need to be taking images in other places that wouldn't of been accessible or
even possible in the time frame that we had in order to get them done. But the images i
have do work well although all three don't particularly have a set them instead each
have there own one which i feel is acceptable since its experimental photography
