A summary, with some overview questions, of Laure Mulvey's article 'Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema' and it's uses in thinking about gender representations.
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”.

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.

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.

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.

3. 1. This is an examination unit marked by the
exam board
2. The exam is 2 hours long and you will sit it
in January
• Although I'd talked
about starting at the
beginning of the
paper in fact we need
to start with
Audience – this
provides a
foundation for
everything else.
When we talk about audience...
• We generalise – we deal in stereotypes and likely behaviours of
the majority of a group
• We segment – we divide the population up into groups with
labels
• We consider what makes groups distinct from other groups -
• Internally homogeneous – more like each other in some
important respect than they are like people in other
groups – or potential customers in the same segment
prefer the same product qualities
• Externally heterogeneous – distinct and different from
other groups – or potential customers from different
segments have different product preferences
4. Some more key vocabulary
• Demographics -
• Demos – people – Graphics –
writing
• Writing about who people are –
but really writing about and
defining groups of people
• There are lots of different
demographic categories – as many
as are useful to you depending on
what media product you're talking
about – although there are some
core ones
Psychographics-
• Psycho – relating to the mind
• Writing about what people are like as opposed
to who they are – what they think, their
attitudes and aspirations
• Thinking about personal preferences, lifestyle
choices, values, opinions
• There are obvious crossovers with
demographics – we ascribe certain values to
different demographic groups, for example
5. You
• Can you define yourself psychographically?
• It might be quite a long definition, there are
as many different things to think about as
you think are relevant to you
• You started the lesson thinking about you
and demographic segments – bring that
together with your psychographic ideas about
yourself – does that tell you anything?
• Do you think somebody in a very different
demographic group from you would be very
different psychographically (you can use me
as an example here if you want, I promise not
to be offended).
Can you make a link between
you, demographically and
psychographically, and you
specifically as a consumer of
media texts.
How do you find out about things? How do
you make decisions about what to
watch/listen to/see/read/play? How to you
access marketing and advertising? How do
you access media products?
6. Us
How does 'Us' try to meet the needs
and wants of its audience? (8 marks)
This is typical of an audience question on the paper. You would
be given about a side of the question paper to write your
answer (which doesn't mean 'it must be a side of writing' but
it's a good indicator of how long an answer is probably
expected).
What doyou write about?
1. Who are the core audience? Who are a
defined secondary audience? Use
'demographics' and 'psychographics' in your
answer
2. What do they want out of Us?
3. How does Us deliver what they want?
Think about two scenes to answer 3 and focus
on the detail of those scenes.
7. Some things about this as a question...
1. You need to be able to explain
about core and secondary
audiences and how they have
different wants and needs
2. One way of this in Us is the fact
that you have two adults and two
teenage children as the four core
characters – that gives you two
different age demographics
straight away.
3. Or you could talk about horror
genre fandom and how Us delivers
what they will want
4. Or you could talk about race and
racial demographics (and about fans
of the director who have followed him
from Get Out, much more explicitly
about issues surrounding race)
5. Or you could talk about women,
and gender demographics, and a film
with a woman central protagonist
6. Or you could identify something
else...

other similar things – so this
work moves on from small

Films to the $356million
'Avengers Endgame' by Marvel
(and so by their owners Disney)
