The filmmakers received feedback from a focus group screening that was both positive and constructive. Positively, the narrative, historical context, music, set, and costumes were well received. Constructive feedback noted that the spinning scene made some viewers feel sick, so it was re-shot shorter. Others wanted to see the main character, Nicole, at the end to understand her fate, so the ending was re-shot to show her injured but alive. Based on the feedback, several scenes including the ending were re-shot to add more suspense and interest for the audience.
This is the presentation we had for the 2nd edition of Talks&Beer.

JAKPAT conducted a survey to 339 respondents from user of JAKPAT Mobile Apps randomly to 17-45 age ranges and all provinces in Indonesia. This survey is conducted in 4-6 hours in January 2015.
The purpose of this survey is to know people's reasons by using the navigation apps in their smartphones. Even if this survey does not represent the whole population, but by figuring this survey result hopefully people can figure out people's habits, attention and intention for using navigation apps in smartphones.
In this presentation I explain how OTAs change the way professionals are distributing online their products and the advantages of creating micro local OTAs
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.
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.

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.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
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.
Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
2. During or focus group screening we received feedback which was both
positive and constructive. Some positive comments were ‘Narrative is
good as is the link to historical context-more interesting’, showing that
we had achieved our goal of telling a story, conveying the characters back
story as well as intriguing our audience about what was to come. As well
as ‘The music was well fitted to the trailer’, I think that this showed that
my editing of what was a happy folk style song worked effectively in
harmony to the cinematography and the plot line. We also received
positive comments such as ‘Good set and costume’, we agreed with this
point as we had spent time designing how the costumes were going to
look, particularly for the Psycho killer, as her costume had to fit in with
the Victorian era as well as blend with the woodland surroundings.
3. Some of our constructive comments were ‘Didn’t like the spinning,
made me feel sick’ we agreed with this statement, because though we
liked the panning section in its creation of disorientation, we felt
that it was too long and did make us feel a bit sick afterwards. We re-
shot this searching sequence so that the audience wouldn’t be put off
from seeing the film incase they felt sick or dizzy. Another
constructive comment we received was ‘See Nicole at the end so we
kind of know what’s happened’ we also agreed with this comment,
though we had originally felt that her disappearance would create
interest, as it was an enigma. We re-evaluated this ending to allow the
audience to have a stronger connection to this character, thinking
that it would be too obvious that she was dead or kidnapped if she
wasn’t seen at the end of the trailer.
4. After the focus group screening we made several changes to the
trailer, completely re-shooting the ending as well as several other
sections of the trailer. We felt that we needed to do this as we
didn’t think that the trailer held as much suspense and interest
as we would have liked. By changing the ending so that an
injured and disorientated Nicole is seen walking about the forest,
we felt that the trailer would hold more interest as the viewer
would be left wondering if the searching teens would find her or
if she would be left to die in the forest.
5. I am happy with how our finished trailer looks as I think it
successfully appeals to our target audience of horror fans. Being
filled with suspense and action. I also think that this trailer
would appeal to a wider audience with an element body horror it
will appeal to a larger audience however it is still a low age
certificate, allowing a larger age range of people to go see it.
6. I think that my favorite part of the trailer is when the male hero
falls down the hill. This is because of the cinematography used
in the expressionist angles as well as the fast montage that we
used to create action. I think that the ending of this sequence
creates particular interest, as it is the first acknowledgement in
the trailer that the hanged woman is around and causing
trouble. The shot of the woman looking up at the camera is
similar to those seen in The Woman In Black. I think that this is
effective as both characters have the omen of death around them
