THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

2. Understanding Drama
A story represented by means of words and action.
In words of Bonamy Dobree “ moving literature”.
Action is pivotal to any drama which is basically meant for
performance.
Words were introduced in plays at much lateral stag e
than other elements e.g. Mime, dance , Music, costume
and stage décor.
3. • Recreation implies creation of an illusion of a reality, this
phenomenon is called “make believe” or suspension of
disbelief
• Action represents a character at a given time and space
• Action promotes the plot or keeps the story moving
• Drama needs proper characterisation and gripping Plot.
• Plot has four elements ( Freytag’s pyramid )
Exposition
Conflict (Rising action )
Climax
Resolution , Denouement or anticlimax (Falling action )
4. Plot
• It’s the series of actions and sequences of
the story
• The plot grows from the conflict that arises
when two forces in a play come into
opposition
5. Characters
They are the people in the drama
They are defined by what they do and what
they say
They are defined by their actions
6. Brief History
There are records of sacred drama in Egypt (2000
B.C). The Psi (600B.C) in the ancient Greece is the
first known playwright.
Then followed Aeschylus (525-456 B.C),
Sophocles (496-406 B.C ).
In the East, Indian culture was influenced by
Buddhism and under this influence plays were
being written and performed for religious
purposes.
In fact classical drama is conventional and
7. The plays of Kalidas (4th century A.D ) and
Bhavati are lyrical in tone and refined in
feelings. Kalidas’s delicate romantic tales leep
time and space but there is no conflict and
characters are transformed from human
beings in to gods
8. Dramaturgy
• Theme
• Story
• Script
• Theme
• Suspense
• Characterisation
antagonist
Protagonist
Direct ( round or explicit, it uses another character, narrator or the
protagonist himself to tell the audience about the subject)
Indirect (Flat or implicit, the audience has to deduce for himself the
characteristics of the character by observing his/her own thought process,
behaviour, speech, way of talking, appearance and way of communication
with other characters )
• Plot
• Dialogue(s)
9. The Radio Play
• The term “ Play “ applied to Drama indicates
that certain action is displayed or reacted for
recreation
• Basically radio play emerged out of Theatre or
stage play
• The recreative quality of drama gets more
imaginative place in Radio
• It has ,sometimes, been called “Blind Theatre
” or “ Aural Half “ of stage play
10. Stage Play vs. Radio Play
Stage Play Radio Play
• Stage décor and lights. Studio acoustics.
• Actors presence visible Voice variations (Sign
Posting,
stress, pause, swing)
with costume ,make up
and voice throw .
• Dance and mime. Stress, Pause , swing and
silence
• Sound Effects & Music . Sound effects & Music .
13. 1. Exposition/Opening
• This usually occurs at the beginning of a story. Characters
are introduced. We also learn about the setting of the
story. Most importantly, listeners are introduced to the
characters and the conflict gets start.
14. 2. Conflict/Rising Action
• This part of the story begins to develop
the conflict. Suspense is created to arise
interest as to what is next .
15. 3. Climax
• This is the turning point of the
story. Usually the main character
encounters face to face with a
conflict. The major character will
change in some way.
17. Further Explanatory notes
• Exposition
The exposition is the portion of a
story that introduces important
background information to the
audience
• Rising Action
A series of related incidents
builds towards the point of
greatest interest. The rising
action of a story is series of
events that begin immediately
after exposition
18. • Climax
the climax is the turning point,
which changes the protagonist’s
fate. If the story is a comedy, things
will have gone badly for the
protagonist up to ths point.
• Falling action
During the falling action, the
conflict between the protagonist
and antagonist unfolds, with the
protagonist wining or loosing
against the antagonist. The falling
action may contain a moment of
final suspense, in which the final
outcome of the conflict is in doubt
19. • Resolution or
denouement
The dénouement comprises
events from the end of the falling
action to the actual ending scene
of the drama or narrative.
Conflicts are resolved, creating
normality for the characters and a
sense of catharsis or release of
tension and anxiety.
20. Conflict’s meaning
• Conflict’s meaning
A Struggle between two or
more forces that creates tension
which must be resolved. There
are two conflicts namely External
and internal.
The traditional breakdown of the
conflict is :
Man vs. man (external)
Man vs. nature (external )
Man vs. society (external )
Man vs. Self ( Internal )
21. Production and directional modes
• Getting hands on script
Idea formulation (Research,
personal observations, inspirations,
adaptation of popular novels and
short stories, discussions with
playwrights, translations )
Script (Vetting, amendments in
consultation with seniors and the
playwright – you have either a
solicited or unsolicited script,
Reader’s Report and final approval
Casting ,booking proposal
Preliminary production script
Copies of final script and selection of
dramatists
22. REMEMBER:
• Do not perform
the script by your
self in front of the
artists.
why?????
what to do?
23. Directional mode
• Directional mode
First Rehearsal ( reading the
script by the dramatists ,cues,
stresses, pauses, swings,
silence, sign posting, tones,
tempo, pace )
second Rehearsal,
Final Rehearsal,
Dress or Mike rehearsal
(Microphone distances for sign
posting, in out cues,
interactive responses among
drama voices and interaction
with the producer through
observation window )
24. Music blending
music can capture emotions
and images
It can swing the listenerts
instantaneously from entirely
one mood to an other mood
It can, as subtly as a raised
eyebrow-give to a phrase an
extra, and as possibly
contradictory, level of meaning
There happen different kinds
of music while producing a
radio play e.g.
Opening/closing music
depending on theme of the
dram, Bridging music, change
over or transitional music for
separating different scenes,
Bangs, BGM as continuity etc.
26. Sound Effects
Sound Effects help tell the
story in audio. They tell you
where or when the story takes
place. They tell you about the
action, how events are
unfolding.
Radio drama is usually
recorded in a carefully sound
proofed studio. But voices and
script alone can sound dry and
unreal. It’s the studio
manager’s job to add recorded
sound effects, and to create
live sound effects.
27. The addition of sound effects
transforms the clean audio of
voices reading script into a
world that is believable for the
listener. Some of these sound
effects happen at a very
subconscious level. They can
be as simple as a teaspoon
clipping the edge of a cup, or a
door opening – all ordinary
noises that happen in the
background of real life, but
that have to be artificially
created in the world of radio
drama.
28. Books recommended:

29. How to produce a Radio Play in eight
easy steps ?
• Create visual picture. Production of a radio
drama requires you to paint a picture in the
audience’s minds. This means the use of
descriptive words to build up images that
enable the listening audience to identify with
the characters, the world the character lives
in and the atmosphere for each scene. Use of
colour is very important to create the image
in the listener’s mind
• A narrator is very useful in the context of
radio: the narrator play out the scene,
explain action sequences and wrap up the
scene.
If you are working on a serial, the narrator
can summarise the previous episode’s
action as recap
The narrator can switch between scenes
30. REMEMBER
• Create the action
through dialogues,
since all you have to
work with , is
dialogues rather than
props, a setting or
visual cues, dialogues
will need to work hard
on it. It can be used to
describe action as it is
taking place
31. • Make the most of sound
effects where necessary.
Too many sound effects
can spoil the broth and
can get your listeners
confused. Use
astounding sounds-
things to wake up your
listeners such as an
explosion, a music bang,
a cry, a skidding car, an
angry mob shouting etc.
32. • You can use effects which are
built in to the mixer desk to
help create actualization.
When it comes to producing
your play, and if you are
producing it, be sure that you
do a sound check with the
effects, to ensure the sound
levels and effects are how you
want them.
Use reverberation- use it to
set the acoustics of a location.
For example empty room, an
office full of coworkers, a cave,
halls, a court room etc.
33. • Music in the background can
help to set the mood of your
play. Obviously, you can match
music o feelings such as sad
music for sad occasions
featuring death or loss; happy
music for good news;
suspenseful music for a scary
or worrying moment and fast
music for increased action or a
chase. Music also sets
opening/closing tone of a play,
serving as aural curtain..Sky is
the limit for a creative drama
producer
34. • Be precise and clear with
spoken words, always use
economy of words without
altering the meaning of a
dialogue. Every thing must be
clear because your listener
cannot view a character using
facial expressions, waving
arms about or throwing
objects etc; Silence must be
used craft fully so as not to
convey an empty space-
meaningful or pregnant pause
is always appreciated
