Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

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.
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
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.

Poster Overview
1. Poster Overview
The eight posters I have chosen have been created to successfully
promote films within the psychological horror sub-genre. By
carrying out an investigation of them and by comparing them to
each other, it is possible to identify shared features within them
and establish repeated patterns. This will help me when I am
creating my own psychological film poster, as I will have a better
insight into what should be included.
All eight posters feature typical film poster conventions; expected
general conventions are seen in all, such as the title being the
biggest and standing out the most. Also, they’re dominated by the
image which signals something important about the narrative of
2. the film. A slogan features on most of the posters, excluding ‘Black
Swan’, ‘The Silence of the Lambs’, and ‘Psycho’.
In addition to these common film poster conventions, we see other
repeated patterns. Most of these posters feature a main female
character, making eye contact with the audience and looking
blank. The main character is usually featured on the poster, with
exception for ‘Cube’. With regards to background, most of these
film posters don’t have the location of the film included; they have
a plain coloured background. This is with the exception of ‘The
Shining’, ‘Cube’, and ‘The Strangers’, which show the audience the
location. In the posters for ‘Psycho’ and ‘The Shining’, we’re
shown a woman screaming, as if she is about to be killed by the
antagonist; this reveals to us that woman can still be the victims in
these films.
Genre is also shown through these images because of the dark
lighting, as seen in most of these film posters. Colour and
iconography is also used to give away genre; in the poster for ‘The
Shining’, an axe is featured on the front cover. This immediately
tells the audience who the antagonist is, and what his aim is, while
automatically revealing that it is a horror film. Blacks and whites
are predominantly used for these posters, again revealing that
they’re horror films. Because they lack the use of red, which
symbols blood and gore, the audience know that these aren’t
horrors that involve frequent and gruesome deaths, such as
slasher films. These posters don’t reveal too much of the film to
the audience; this keeps it a surprise, making them more
interested in watching it.
Excluding ‘Girl, Interrupted’, all of these psychological film posters
have the name of the film placed in the bottom centre of the
poster. This is an effective place to put it because audience’s
would be drawn in by the images before there eyes goes down to
the title. Capital letters are used for the majority of these posters,
along with a bold font; this makes the name stand out, and attracts
the attention of the target audience. White or black is used for the
name of the film, apart from in ‘the Silence of the Lambs’ - this
keeps the posters simple, and ensures that it doesn’t look to
overcrowded with colours.
Apart from ‘Black Swan’, ‘The Silence of the Lambs’, and
‘Psycho’, all of these posters include a strap line. The strap line is
usually placed at the top of the poster, in a bold font, although it’s
3. smaller than the title. Apart from ‘Cube’, all of these posters
include institutional information/names of important people in the
film (actors or producers). This information is positioned at the very
bottom of the poster, below the title; this ensures that no attention
is taken away from the actual poster, because this information is
less important. Layout is kept the same throughout all of these film
posters, apart form ‘Girl, Interrupted’ which has the name of the
film in the centre of the poster, covering some of the girl’s face.
Other text, like ‘based on a true story’ is used to draw in
audiences. The idea that a film has been inspired by a real story
makes the film so much scarier for audiences, as they feel that the
same thing could really happen to them.
The lighting in the posters for ‘Silence of the Lambs’, ‘Orphan’ and
‘Psycho’ leaves some of their faces covered; this suggests to the
audience that they have a secret, something that can’t be
physically seen.
All of these posters that I have selected are effective; they’re all
simple, with minimal text, leaving the bold image to dominate the
page. By completing this overview, I have learnt more about the
conventions of psychological horror film posters. When completing
my practical work, this will help me in deciding the general layout
and colours that I should be working with.
