• Natural Way: X takes place naturally, as for instance when hot air
rises from the land on a warm day. This heated air has a lower
density than that of the less heated air in the atmosphere above it,
and, therefore, is buoyant. As it rises, however, it loses energy and
cools. This cooled air, now denser than the air around it, sinks again,
creating a repeating cycle.
• Forced way: Heat of an oven—a situation in which some sort of
pump or mechanism moves heated fluid. X can also take place
within a natural system. The human heart is a pump, and blood
carries excess heat generated by the body to the skin. The heat
passes through the skin by means of conduction, and at the surface
of the skin, it is removed from the body in a number of ways,
primarily by the cooling evaporation of moisture—that is,
perspiration.

The Method of loci is a mnemonic device
introduced in ancient Roman and Greek
rhetorical treatises. In basic terms, it is a method
of memory enhancement which uses
visualization to organize and recall information. In
this technique the subject memorizes the layout
of some building, or the arrangement of shops on
a street, or any geographical entity which is
composed of a number of discrete loci. How do
we better know this technique as?
