Our school participated in the Bursa Book Fair where we displayed our technology club projects. Many people were interested in our projects and drew intense interest to what our students had created. The Provincial Directorate of National Education invited our school to showcase our work at the fair.
This document summarizes opportunities for connecting with Israel's startup ecosystem. It outlines that Israel has over 5000 startups, 250 accelerators, and 250 VC funds concentrated within a small area. The ecosystem provides funding and skills to startups through hubs, accelerators and coworking spaces. It also describes opportunities for startups, investors, IT providers and remote workers to engage with Israeli companies. However, it notes challenges such as visa policies and a preference for local providers.
Optical illusions use visual tricks to create images that can be perceived differently than their real presentations. Some illusions rely on ambiguous figures or reversible perspectives that can be seen in more than one way. They provide insight into how our brains process visual information and demonstrate that perception is subjective rather than objective.
This document discusses visual perception and illusions. It begins by explaining that visual perception involves both biological determinism and learned experiences. It then discusses several concepts related to visual perception, including the Panopticon, emotions communicated through visuals, and how perception involves both sensation and interpretation. The document goes on to explore various visual illusions and paradoxes, how the brain makes inferences to resolve ambiguities, and discusses concepts like attention, filtering, and Gestalt principles of form perception. It analyzes works by several artists and concludes by mentioning references for further information.
The document discusses several optical illusions. It notes that staring at a single spot in an image of moving circles will cause the movement to stop. It asks questions about whether lines are straight or bent, which middle circle is bigger, and whether gray areas are seen between squares. It hints that tilting one's head to the right reveals a man's face and a word beginning with L. In closing, it provides a link for more optical illusions.
The document summarizes the author's experience traveling to Koh Lanta, an island in southern Thailand, with their family. Some key details include:
- They find the island has a relaxed, chilled pace of life compared to other areas.
- The children befriend both Russian and Thai children in their accommodation complex, playing and interacting without language barriers.
- The family enrolls the children in a local madrassa to learn Arabic and the Quran for 3 hours daily.
- Neil volunteers to teach English at the madrassa, which the author finds challenging to adjust to different teaching styles but enjoys building rapport with the students.

The author and their family are traveling around Southeast Asia for eight months. After five weeks in the region, they have arrived in Sri Lanka. They found the roads in Sri Lanka to be chaotic at first, with many vehicles and no traffic rules followed. However, they realized the roads have an efficient system where vehicles accommodate each other. This has allowed the author to feel safer on Sri Lankan roads than in the UK. During their visit to a snake farm, the author was terrified to be near a cobra that still had its venom, in contrast to how such an experience would be commercialized and less authentic in the UK. The trip has helped the author relax UK safety fears and embrace new experiences outside their comfort zone.
Neil and Nikki Payne are taking their three children ages 10, 8, and 5 on a gap year trip around Southeast Asia over the next year. Their employer Kwintessential Consulting will follow their cultural experiences in a newsletter. Neil and Nikki wanted to spend more quality time with their children rather than just fleeting moments around school. They also want to pass on their love of language and culture. While they don't have a formal travel plan, they hope to visit countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. They are preparing on a tight budget but believe their living costs will be lower than staying in the UK.
Toyota Financial Services worked with Kwintessential Consulting to design and deliver cultural training on Japanese business practices for their employees across Europe and Africa. The training aimed to raise awareness of cultural values that underpin Toyota's business practices and help employees engage more effectively with Japanese colleagues. Feedback showed the training improved employees' confidence and cultural understanding when interacting with Japanese counterparts. It helped explain behaviors that previously caused misunderstandings. The training was praised for its practical approach using discussions, case studies, and quizzes to illustrate Japanese culture.
This document provides recipes for several traditional Christmas cookies and treats from different parts of Europe. It includes recipes for German Bethmännchen (marzipan balls decorated with almonds), Swedish Pepparkakor (spiced gingerbread cookies), Greek Kourambiedes (butter cookies with walnuts and rose water), Russian Pryaniki (honey spice cookies), and Spanish Turrón (nougat made from almonds, honey and egg whites). The recipes provide lists of ingredients and step-by-step instructions for making each item.
This document discusses optical illusions and provides information about Kwintessential's training services. It encourages readers to view their slideshare on optical illusions to practice changing their point of view, and says readers are free to use the illusions in their own training sessions. It then lists Kwintessential's cultural awareness training, soft skills training, e-learning via Argonaut, country profiles, webinars, and local guides services.
This document discusses unconscious bias and provides examples to illustrate common biases. It notes that people often have preferences for those similar to themselves and biases against those who are different. Examples examine biases that can influence judgments of who is more competent or the safer choice in different scenarios. The document encourages self-reflection on one's own biases and offers a course on unconscious bias to help people become aware of biases and strategies to recognize unconscious decisions.

Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.
