This document contains an analysis of soap opera genre codes in various media. It summarizes the use of verbal and non-verbal codes in magazines advertising soap operas and posters for soap opera TV shows. For the magazines, it notes the use of bright colors and shocking language to engage audiences. For the posters and TV shows, it discusses how low-key lighting is used to create a darker, tense atmosphere compared to typical soap opera settings.

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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science.

2. Magazine – Time for TV
Verbal Codes –
The verbal diegetic code of “Love shock”
engages the audience emotionally by using
shocking and powerful language. This is also
backed up by the use of yellow font with a
pink stoke as it is eye catching and bright.
Furthermore the verbal of “get ahead of the
soap” connotes that the magazine has the
information that other magazines wont have
which is backed up by the use of bright colours
to become eye catching as this closed off
language is usually associated with themes of
the soup opera genre.
The technical code of the graphic featuring
“only 58pin the top right of the cover, reflects
the quality of images presented, including an
images of protagonists in the center of the
page. These features both connote the target
audience and how it
3. Non-Verbal Codes –
By using low key lighting the shot appears more tense and “darker”
than “regular soap opera settings” as Coronation street takes place
primarily in the day. Even though some scenes take place during the
day the light from behind clouds creates a dreary/tired look on the
scene. This lighting connotes a darker atmosphere.
Because the show takes place in everyday locations it is fitting for
scenes to take place in streets, homes, a pub, hospital, school, for
example. This also signifies (De Saussure) that the characters should
wear appropriate clothing for where they are: suit and tie for an
office, high visibility uniform for road workers, casual clothing while
at home, for example.

or “exploit” (Abercrombie – 1995)
I would repeat (Steve Neale) the brightly coloured fonts and of the images
as it is taken by the man as this can connote multi stranded narrative as this
can help relate to more audience members.

I would repeat (Steve Neale) the she dark coloures as it is used is able to
connote the darker themes and this creates tension for the audience
members. The lack of colour is used to emphasize tension in the trailer.
