1) The document evaluates different options for distributing a film, including large conglomerate companies, independent distributors, and alternative methods like online streaming services.
2) While conglomerates offer name recognition and wide distribution, they are hard to work with and may take creative control. Independent distributors allow more profit and control but smaller reach.
3) The best option is distributing through an online streaming service like Netflix for a fast growing global audience, followed by the independent British distributor Warp Films. This balances wide release with maintaining the film's identity.
An Optimisation Story at Mage Titans Manchester 2016Tony Brown
“Can you make it faster?”, it’s a question we’ve probably all heard at some point or other. But where to focus your attention on such a task can be challenging, usually we only have limited time in which to improve the performance of a site, so quickly identifying the highest impacting bottlenecks is key.
I discuss the importance of monitoring and the role it can play in identifying performance issues. With a real world example, I discuss a common mistake I’ve come across related to the Full Page Cache efficiency and hole punching. I also highlight some key aspects that should be considered when implementing features alongside a Full Page Cache.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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.

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.

2. There are a wide range of different
distribution companies that could distribute
my film:
In this question I am going to evaluate the pros and cons of different companies and
identify which one is best suited for my film. I will be finding out this information by
the size of the company (conglomerate or independent), where they are based, as
well as evaluating alternative methods where my film could be distributed.
3. Conglomerate or independent
There are a wide range of different things to considering when it comes to choosing between an independent company or a
conglomerate and there are pros and cons for both.
Advantages of using big conglomerate:
One advantage of a large conglomerate is that its well known, and it is almost guaranteed that the film would be viewed by a
wide audience due to it being associated with a well known name. This also an assumed security, as they can generally
guarantee that the film will be successful.The connection the conglomerate has with different companies can also help
distribute the film, for example, the American conglomerate could own a chain of cinemas in the UK meaning that they are able
to show the film in these cinemas for no extra cost, this secures the film will make it to the cinema.This also means that the film
could be advertised at these cinemas for no extra cost.
Disadvantage:
One disadvantage of distributing my film with a large conglomerate Is that it is usually a lot more difficult getting a large
conglomerate on board, rather than an independent company, this is due to them being a large wealthy company. If the film
doesn’t follow certain conventions and characteristics they are looking, and doesn’t predict a large profit, they can afford to be
selective about which films they choose to distribute. As a conglomerate is likely to be large and wealthy, it may cost more to
work with them as an independent company, because their employees are better known, there services cost more and they are
able to pay more for better known actors, this could result in the film making less profit. However, this may not be the case due
to these companies being well known, meaning a wider audience, which may not take place if we went with an independent
company. Another disadvantage with choosing a conglomerate company to distribute our film is that the company will have
their own experts and if they invest a large amount into the film, they will have their own ideas on distribution and the film could
possibly lose some of its identity. Another disadvantage is that conglomerate companies are more likely to claim rights over the
film, and this will imply to the audience that we didn’t have a great deal of input into the film and that the conglomerate were
the creators of the film.
4. Which company
If I was to choose to distribute my film with a conglomerate company I would choose out of the following, New
Line Cinema or Lionsgate.This Is because these conglomerates have experience with distributing successful
thrillers, such as Se7en and Interception.These are US companies and have a large amount of money and
influence which would benefit our film, however it Is unlikely that a conglomerate would distribute our film,
due to it having a small production budget. A large American conglomerate may not be ideal because our
target market is mainly a British audience. A disadvantage of a conglomerate distributing our film is that we
are unlikely to have a large amount of creative control, which could result in our film loosing its identity.
I think a more beneficial way of distributing our film is via a British company, this is due to several reasons.
firstly, it will still hold a British identity, distributing our film with a smaller company will also mean that we get
a greater profit because they will be contributing less into the film meaning we have more rights.The company
I think that will best suit our thriller is ‘Optimum Releasing’ although it is a subsidiary of the parent company
‘Studio Canal’ it is based in the UK and Ireland this is more ideal than distributing our thriller with a large
conglomerate company because it will remain within its identity and give us creative control. It also has a lot of
experience distributing previous successful thrillers such as ‘The Awakening’ and ‘Don’t be Afraid of the Dark’.
5. Alternative distribution methods
An alternative way of distributing our film is via the website ‘YouTube’.This would
be a good method because it doesn’t cost to upload and no cost to watch the
content and a wide audience would have access to it. This could meant that our
thriller would have a wider audience and websites are easily shared through social
media this could expand our audience further.
However there are disadvantages distributing our thriller through this method,
firstly, there would be no profit made through this method due to it being free to
access.There is also no guarantee that people will watch it and share it, meaning
there is a possibility that there is not audience at all. Also uploading our thriller to
YouTube could make it come across as immature.
6. Alternative distribution methods
(continued)
Another way that our thriller could be distributed is via an online live streaming
websites, this has became increasing popular over the past years. Examples, of
these include; Netflix, Amazon Prime, love film.This is a good way of distributing
the film because it would reach a large audience, although this form does cost
money to use, therefore a better profit than distributing our thriller viaYouTube can
be made.
Another way that our thriller could be distributed is via social media networks like,
Facebook,Twitter etc. likeYouTube this will cost nothing to do, it is very easy and
can get to a wide audience. However, once again there is no guarantee that people
will view the movie because they may think that if its been posted on social media
and it can’t be good and this will portray our film in a bad way and may make it seem
immature.
7. To conclude…
Overall the way I would distribute my film is via a modern day way of distributing,
which is online streaming, a website like ‘Netflix’ would be ideal.This is because it
has a fast growing audience as a large amount of people have it across the world, it
also means that the thriller isn’t restricted to an English Audience and it has as way
of getting popular in other country's without it having a large involvement with a
conglomerate company.Although a percentage of the films profits would be taken
by this online streaming company, there is a positive side as you are able to
distribute it another way as well, meaning twice the profit could possibly be made. If
I was to distribute it a second time, I would choose the independent company ‘warp
films’ to distribute my film.This is because it is an English based company, as well
as previously distributing thriller films meaning they will have experience and will
have the knowledge and be able to offer help.
