These images are suitable for magazine covers and thumbnails as they were taken with natural or film noir lighting fitting the realistic or thriller tones. The costumes, props, and expressions fit the genres portrayed. When editing the images, techniques used included removing backgrounds, airbrushing faces, removing red-eye, adding blurs to make certain elements stand out, adjusting saturation, and shaping thumbnails into circles. Stickers were also edited by rotating, selecting parts to peel up, adding shadows and warps to make them appear folded.

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”.
3. These images are suitable for my magazine colour as the first three (which would be
used for the main anchorage on different covers) were taken in natural lighting which
will input to the realistic tone of the film.The fourth picture will be suitable for a
thumbnail as it was taken in film noir lighting, creating the shadows which are common
inThriller films.The mise en scene of the images is also quite good as the costumes and
props are all suitable for the film they are portraying along with the facial expressions.

5. The first thing I did with my
first picture was using the
quick selection tool to remove
the background of the image
so only the character will
appear on the cover and not
the white background as well.
6. The second thing I did was airbrush the actor’s face. I did this by using the eye dropper
tool and then selecting a bit of skin close to the area I wanted to cover to make sure
the colour was consistent.After selecting a suitable colour, I then used the brush tool
to cover up any blemishes.
7. The third thing I did was get rid of the red eye in the picture. I did this by using the
default setting on the red-eye tool.

9. I wanted to experiment with making the box stand out more so something on the cover
really pops out.The first thing I did was using the magnetic lasso tool, select the memories
box from the image. I then feathered the selected area using the feather feature at the top
and selecting 15 pixels.
10. Then using the filter drop down menu, I selected Gaussian blur and selected 2.5 pixels so
that the character is slightly blurred in the background and the box stands out. I then
went to the Image drop down menu, selected adjustments and then hue and saturation.
11. I then moved the
saturation down
to -42 making
the character
look more faded
compared to the
memory box.
12.
13. The first thing I did with
my second picture was
using the quick selection
tool to remove the
background of the
image so only the
character will appear on
the cover and not the
white background as
well

image. I then
feathered the selected
area using the feather
feature at the top and
selecting 15 pixels.

drop down menu, I
selected Gaussian

2.5 pixels so that
the character is

20. These images are suitable for my cover as the costumes are both conventional to the
product and genres portrayed.The use of a dress for the main anchorage engages
Mulvey’s Male GazeTheory where the use of a black shirt for the thumbnail represents the
character as an antagonist due to the dark colours, this is similar to the white shirt in the
main anchorage as this portrays the character as a protagonist.The facial expressions and
body language are also conventional for the genres as the main anchorage’s expressions
and positions portray joy where the thumbnail suggests mystery and secrets, main
themes inTeen Drama’s andThriller respectively.
21. Using the quick
selection tool I
removed the
background of the
image so only the
character will appear
on the cover and not
the white
background as well
22. By duplicating the
layers and then
selecting multiply
makes the image
darker. I then
changed the
opacity to 27 which
then gets rid of the
majority of
shadows on the
photo.
23. I used the
Elliptical
Marquee tool
to shape my
thumbnail
image into a
circle so I can
insert it into
the corner of
my magazine.
24. Using the patch tool I
airbrushed the thumbnail
image by selecting the
blemishes I wanted to
replace and then selected
a clear bit of skin to
replace it with, making
sure I kept the skin tone
the same.
25.
26. First I created the sticker using word before opening it in
photoshop and using the transform tool, rotated it
slightly. I then used the Polygonal lasso to select the part
of the circle that would peel up.
27. I then created a new layer using “layer via cut” and
rotated the selected area 180º I then clicked on the layer
and selected colour overlay, turning the section white.
28. I then created a new layer above the main one and used
the brush tool to create a shadow under the folded part
of the sticker. I then selected transform again and
warped the folded section.
29. After that I then got rid of the colour overlay on the
folded section and instead selected gradient overlay. I
adjusted the angle to -29 before dragging the white
over.
