The document provides information and analysis about the 2011 film Captain America: The First Avenger. It includes background on the film and characters, analysis of key scenes highlighting Captain America's transformation and heroic actions, and prompts for designing new costumes and storyboards.

Writing About Film
Writing about films can help one better understand their own emotional and intellectual responses to movies. It allows people to explain their interpretations of movies, filmmakers, and groups of films. Comparing and contrasting different movies can provide insight. Analyzing reactions to themes, characters, and images in movies may help one understand how they view the world. Taking notes while watching a film and writing in a objective, third person point of view are important for critically analyzing films.
Preparing your pitch
The document provides an overview and guidelines for preparing a film pitch for a GCSE Film Studies assignment on the horror genre. It outlines the key elements to address in the pitch, including the narrative, characters, conflict, distinction, setting, and action. It also lists sub-genres of horror and prompts the student to select one for their idea. Examples are provided of conventions for props, settings, villains, characters, and narratives within the selected sub-genre. The student is asked to research example films and analyze posters to illustrate these conventions. The document instructs the student to combine all these elements into a single pitch that must be completed for Monday's class.
Types Of Characters in Literature
This document discusses different types of characters in literature. It begins by defining protagonists as the main characters, and antagonists as those who oppose the protagonists. It then describes four types of protagonists: the hero, anti-hero, tragic hero, and caricature. It also lists five types of antagonists: the main antagonist, nemesis, shape-shifter, change agent, and romantic angle. The document further discusses six types of supporting characters: the sidekick, mentor, foil, comic relief, extras, and chorus. It concludes by defining two types of character development: flat characters that do not change, and round characters that do change over the course of the story.
Literary Analysis Essay Assignment A literary analysis .docx
Literary Analysis Essay Assignment
A literary analysis essay typically requires you to write about the meaning you have inferred
from a piece of literature (e.g., a novel, film, play, poem, etc.). You are expected to have a
thesis and support it with evidence (examples) from the literary work. Typically, you’ll analyze
the idea or message, plot, characters, tone, use of symbolism, writing style, or any other
devices that the author has used. Analysis of a film or play might focus on visual effects,
lighting, sequencing or how an actor portrays a character.
In a literary analysis essay, you do not focus entirely on the plot. Rather, you look at how the
plot was designed, why it was developed, the choices an author made and whether these
choices are effective choices. Although some context may be needed so readers can
understand, you are not being asked to write a book report. The purpose is not to give a
summary of the plot to prove you have read and understood it. Instead, you will offer an idea
and present it through careful examination of the author’s or director’s choices. You are
expected to refer to portions of the text or film to support your ideas. The goal is to make
readers learn something new about the literary piece, or watch or read it with “new eyes.”
Here is a summary of a long, 15-page paper, “Gender Roles in Disney Films: Analyzing
Behaviors from Snow White to Simba,” written by a graduate student:
For this Assignment:
The purpose of this assignment is to help you develop your analytical skills, your ability to
support an idea with evidence from a text or image, and your ability to organize logically what
you want to say. With a peer partner, you will write a 500-word literary analysis essay in which
you compare/contrast TWO FILMS.
Choose your films and your topic carefully after brainstorming together. Later in the semester,
both of you will present your analysis to the class in a short presentation. When choosing a
topic,
While television cartoons have served as focal points for researchers concerned about gender
depictions in Disney works, their film counterparts have received little attention. This study
analyzed Disney full-length animated films to identify the gendered “world view” they
provide for young viewers. Prosocial and antisocial behaviors were examined to determine
the prevalence of gender stereotypes within the films. Specific attention was paid to gender
issues regarding victims of antisocial acts, contrasts between heroes and heroines, and
differences between female and male villains.

Misogyny vs. misandry
This document provides guidance for a film analysis assignment on the representation of gender roles in the film Fight Club. It begins with learning objectives focused on understanding how ideologies apply to texts and analyzing key scenes. It then discusses the "Wildman" ideology presented by Robert Bly that is embodied by the character Tyler Durden and his guidance of the narrator. Students are instructed to analyze examples of this in their exercise books. Later, it addresses how the characters have been "robbed of their manhood" and the positions of misandry and misogyny presented in the film. Students are tasked with writing a 30 mark response analyzing the representation of gender roles in Fight Club based on the theories and notes discussed.

“The 1960s: A Decade of Promise and Heartbreak”
By Kenneth T. Walsh
March 9, 2010
US News
It was a decade of extremes, of
transformational
change and
bizarre
contrasts: flower children and
assassins
,
idealism
and
alienation
, rebellion and
backlash
. For many in the
massive
post-World War II baby boom generation, it was both the best of times and the worst of times. (7 words)
There will be many 50-year anniversaries to mark significant events of the 1960s, and a big reason is that what happened in that remarkable era still
resonates
today. At the dawn of that decade of contrasts a half century ago—on Jan. 2 ,1960—a
charismatic
young senator from Massachusetts named John F. Kennedy announced that he was running for president, and he won the nation's highest office the following November. He remains one of the
iconic
figures in U.S. history. On February 1, four determined black men sat at a whites-only lunch counter at a Woolworth's in Greensboro, N.C., and were denied service. Their act of
defiance
triggered a wave of sit-ins for civil rights across the South and brought
unrelenting
national attention to America's original sin of racism. On March 3, Elvis Presley returned to the United States from his Army stint in Germany, resuming his career as a pioneer of rock-and-roll and an icon of the youth culture celebrating freedom and a growing sense of rebellion.(5 words)
By the end of the decade, Kennedy had been
assassinated
, along with his brother Robert and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. America's cities had become powder kegs as African-Americans, despite historic gains toward legal equality, became more impatient than ever at being second-class citizens. Women began demanding their rights in
unprecedented
numbers. Young people and their parents felt a widening generation gap as seen in their differing perceptions of
patriotism
, drug use, sexuality, and the work ethic. The now familiar culture wars between liberals and conservatives caused angry divisions over law and order, busing, racial preferences, abortion, the Vie.

Sontag argues that while photographs can shock people, they are limited in helping people understand complex issues. Photographs alone do not provide context or narrative to help viewers comprehend what they are seeing. Narratives are better able to help people understand by providing more information and details beyond a single image. This has implications for how contemporary politics and humanitarian organizations use photographs and narrative to educate people and raise awareness.

Research Activity
Sustainable supply chain can be viewed as Management of raw materials and services from suppliers to manufacturers/ service provider to customer - with improvement of the social and environmental impacts explicitly considered.
Carry out a literature review on sustainable / green supply chain and prepare:
·
A report (provide an example) -2500-3000 words approximately and
Issues/topics that
you may like
to address/consider are:
1.
Drivers for Sustainable SCM
2.
Analysing the impact of carbon emissions on manufacturing operation, cost and profit by focusing on product life cycle analysis.
Analyse aspects of the product life cycle in terms of; Outlining CO2 emission points and scope, defining CO2 baseline, prioritising measures to reduce or off set emissions and finally planning and initiating actions.
3.
New ways of thinking/information sharing
Seven key solution areas were identified:
·
In- store logistics: includes in-store visibility, shelf-ready products, shopper interaction
·
Collaborative physical logistics: shared transport, shared warehouse, shared infrastructure
·
Reverse logistics: product recycling, packaging recycling, returnable assets
·
Demand fluctuation management: joint planning, execution and monitoring
·
Identification and labelling: through the use of barcodes and RFID tags. Identification is about providing all partners in the value chain with the ability to use the same standardised mechanism to uniquely identify parties/locations, items and events with clear rules about where, how, when and by whom these will be created, used and maintained. Labels currently are the most widely used means to communicate about relevant sustainability and security aspects of a certain product towards consumers
·
Efficient assets: alternative forms of energy, efficient/aerodynamic vehicles, switching modes, green buildings
·
Joint scorecard and business plan: this solution consists of a suite of industry-relevant measurement tools falling into two broad categories: qualitative tools, which are a set of capability metrics designed to measure the extent to which the trading partners (supplier, service provider and retailer) are working collaboratively; and quantitative tools, which include business metrics aimed at measuring the impact of collaboration

Wal-Mart
may be a good example to look at: when you burn less, you pay less and emit less, and the benefits can ripple further. The big advantages for organisations in becoming sustainable are reducing costs and helping the environment. For example: Wal-Mart sells 25% of detergent sold in the United States, by replacing regular washing detergent with concentrate they will save: 400 million gallons of water, 125 million pounds of cardboard and packaging, 95 million pounds of plastic.

Linear Regression
Chapter 4

Introduction (Slide 1 of 2)
• Managerial decisions are often based on the relationship between two or
more variables:
• Example: After considering the relationship between advertising
expenditures and sales, a marketing manager might attempt to predict sales
for a given level of advertising expenditures.
• Sometimes a manager will rely on intuition to judge how two variables
are related.
• If data can be obtained, a statistical procedure called regression analysis
can be used to develop an equation showing how the variables are
related.

Introduction (Slide 2 of 2)
• Dependent variable or response: Variable being predicted.
• Independent variables or predictor variables: Variables being used
to predict the value of the dependent variable.
• Simple linear regression: A regression analysis for which any one
unit change in the independent variable, x, is assumed to result in
the same change in the dependent variable, y.
• Multiple linear regression: A regression analysis involving two or
more independent variables.

“The 1960s: A Decade of Promise and Heartbreak”
By Kenneth T. Walsh
March 9, 2010
US News
It was a decade of extremes, of
transformational
change and
bizarre
contrasts: flower children and
assassins
,
idealism
and
alienation
, rebellion and
backlash
. For many in the
massive
post-World War II baby boom generation, it was both the best of times and the worst of times. (7 words)
There will be many 50-year anniversaries to mark significant events of the 1960s, and a big reason is that what happened in that remarkable era still
resonates
today. At the dawn of that decade of contrasts a half century ago—on Jan. 2 ,1960—a
charismatic
young senator from Massachusetts named John F. Kennedy announced that he was running for president, and he won the nation's highest office the following November. He remains one of the
iconic
figures in U.S. history. On February 1, four determined black men sat at a whites-only lunch counter at a Woolworth's in Greensboro, N.C., and were denied service. Their act of
defiance
triggered a wave of sit-ins for civil rights across the South and brought
unrelenting
national attention to America's original sin of racism. On March 3, Elvis Presley returned to the United States from his Army stint in Germany, resuming his career as a pioneer of rock-and-roll and an icon of the youth culture celebrating freedom and a growing sense of rebellion.(5 words)
By the end of the decade, Kennedy had been
assassinated
, along with his brother Robert and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. America's cities had become powder kegs as African-Americans, despite historic gains toward legal equality, became more impatient than ever at being second-class citizens. Women began demanding their rights in
unprecedented
numbers. Young people and their parents felt a widening generation gap as seen in their differing perceptions of
patriotism
, drug use, sexuality, and the work ethic. The now familiar culture wars between liberals and conservatives caused angry divisions over law and order, busing, racial preferences, abortion, the Vie.

Sontag argues that while photographs can shock people, they are limited in helping people understand complex issues. Photographs alone do not provide context or narrative to help viewers comprehend what they are seeing. Narratives are better able to help people understand by providing more information and details beyond a single image. This has implications for how contemporary politics and humanitarian organizations use photographs and narrative to educate people and raise awareness.

2.
Analysing the impact of carbon emissions on manufacturing operation, cost and profit by focusing on product life cycle analysis.
Analyse aspects of the product life cycle in terms of; Outlining CO2 emission points and scope, defining CO2 baseline, prioritising measures to reduce or off set emissions and finally planning and initiating actions.
3.
New ways of thinking/information sharing
Seven key solution areas were identified:
·
In- store logistics: includes in-store visibility, shelf-ready products, shopper interaction
·
Collaborative physical logistics: shared transport, shared warehouse, shared infrastructure
·
Reverse logistics: product recycling, packaging recycling, returnable assets
·
Demand fluctuation management: joint planning, execution and monitoring
·
Identification and labelling: through the use of barcodes and RFID tags. Identification is about providing all partners in the value chain with the ability to use the same standardised mechanism to uniquely identify parties/locations, items and events with clear rules about where, how, when and by whom these will be created, used and maintained. Labels currently are the most widely used means to communicate about relevant sustainability and security aspects of a certain product towards consumers
·
Efficient assets: alternative forms of energy, efficient/aerodynamic vehicles, switching modes, green buildings
·
Joint scorecard and business plan: this solution consists of a suite of industry-relevant measurement tools falling into two broad categories: qualitative tools, which are a set of capability metrics designed to measure the extent to which the trading partners (supplier, service provider and retailer) are working collaboratively; and quantitative tools, which include business metrics aimed at measuring the impact of collaboration

Introducing/developing sustainable KPI
s
to SC, SCOR,GSCF Models
Wal-Mart
may be a good example to look at: when you burn less, you pay less and emit less, and the benefits can ripple further. The big advantages for organisations in becoming sustainable are reducing costs and helping the environment. For example: Wal-Mart sells 25% of detergent sold in the United States, by replacing regular washing detergent with concentrate they will save: 400 million gallons of water, 125 million pounds of cardboard and packaging, 95 million pounds of plastic.

Linear Regression
Chapter 4
© 2019 Cengage. All Rights Reserved.
Introduction (Slide 1 of 2)
• Managerial decisions are often based on the relationship between two or
more variables:
• Example: After considering the relationship between advertising
expenditures and sales, a marketing manager might attempt to predict sales
for a given level of advertising expenditures.
• Sometimes a manager will rely on intuition to judge how two variables
are related.
• If data can be obtained, a statistical procedure called regression analysis
can be used to develop an equation showing how the variables are
related.

Introduction (Slide 2 of 2)
• Dependent variable or response: Variable being predicted.
• Independent variables or predictor variables: Variables being used
to predict the value of the dependent variable.
• Simple linear regression: A regression analysis for which any one
unit change in the independent variable, x, is assumed to result in
the same change in the dependent variable, y.
• Multiple linear regression: A regression analysis involving two or
more independent variables.

Regression Model:
• The equation that describes how y is related to x and an error term.
• Parameters: The characteristics of the population, 0 1 and .
• Random variable: Error term, .
• The error term accounts for the variability in y that cannot be explained by
the linear relationship between x and y.

Simple Linear Regression Model (Slide 2 of 5)
Estimated Regression Equation:
• The parameter values are usually not known and must be estimated using
sample data.
• Sample statistics 0 1(denoted and )b b are computed as estimates of the
population parameters
0 1 and .
• Substituting the values of the sample statistics 0 1 0 1 and for and inb b
the regression equation and dropping the error term, we obtain the
estimated regression for simple linear regression.

Simple Linear Regression Model (Slide 3 of 5)
• In the estimated simple linear regression equation:
0 1ŷ b b x= +
• ŷ = Estimate for the mean value of y corresponding to a given value of x.
• 0b = Estimated y-intercept.
•
1b = Estimated slope.
• The graph of the estimated simple linear regression equation is called the
estimated regression line.
• In general, ŷ is the point estimator of ( ) ,E y x the mean value of y for a
given value of x.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
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.
