This document discusses Gilbert of Poitiers' conception of modality and ontology. It begins by outlining ancient and medieval conceptions of modality as statistical, diachronic, or potentiality. It then examines Gilbert's development of a synchronic conception of modality involving alternative possible worlds and histories of the world. The document also analyzes Gilbert's ontology, distinguishing between subsistens/id quod est and subsistentia/id quo est. It discusses how Gilbert defines the individuum based on properties that differ from all others actually or potentially. This modal definition of individuum incorporates possible as well as actual properties and lays the groundwork for considering counterfactual identity across possible worlds in Gilbert's framework.
Computer networks have redundant links between machines so that if one fails others can take over to guarantee deliverability. However, as we move up the stack to Person to Person communication protocols via the net, this redundancy gets dropped. Fallback messaging is a means to allow communication between two people to continue even if some of the underlying service providers fail.
Opensource clients like ayttm, eb, gaim, kopete, and transports like jabber have the edge here, let's find out how and why.

❧ Delivered a 50-minute presentation that highlighted the integration of all four-language modalities to improve skills in literacy, particularly for beginning English language learners, and ultimately, pronunciation.
❧ Exemplified classroom activities and provided materials as takeaways.
This document provides guidance on preparing and delivering effective presentations. It emphasizes the importance of preparation, delivery, and visual aids. For preparation, the presenter should understand the purpose, audience, and topic. They should develop a clear structure and obtain any needed materials. For delivery, the presenter should practice to reduce stage fright and use gestures, facial expressions, vocalization techniques, and body language effectively. Visual aids like PowerPoint should enhance the presentation and follow best practices like the 5x5 rule for slides. The document concludes by stressing the importance of starting and ending on time.
The document discusses different ways to represent hierarchical data structures including classical node-link diagrams, nested sets, layered "icicle" diagrams, outlines, tree views, and nested parenthesis notation. Examples of each method are given showing a family tree with Thess-Haydee at the top and relationships between Resty, Allysa, Dharell, Myla and Mikan.
Pronunciation facilitation speaking - J consonantBích Phương
This document provides instruction on pronouncing the /j/ consonant in English. It begins with an overview of the /j/ sound as a palatal approximant consonant. It then discusses how to position the tongue, lips, and velum to produce the sound. Examples are given of words containing /j/, including "yellow" and how "y," "u," and "ea" can represent the sound. The document concludes with listening and speaking activities to practice distinguishing and producing /j/ in different words like "young," "year," and "your."
2. QUE É UN CALIGRAMA?
Verso ou composición poética en que as
palabras forman un debuxo relacionado co
contido do poema.
3. HISTORIA:
Os caligramas son máis antigos do que
pensamos. Comezaron cos gregos do
período Helenístico, polo ano 30 a. C. eran
ocupados para ofrendas de carácter
relixioso xa que o escrito tiña que ter a
forma do obxecto que se ofrendaba.
4. Debemos ao poeta vangardista Guillaume
Apollinaire a moda da creación deste tipo de
poemas visuais no século XX.
