This document provides examples and exercises for practicing the present continuous tense in English. It includes examples of the present continuous form of common verbs, choosing the correct present continuous option for images, writing sentences in the present continuous, completing sentences using target verbs, and correcting sentences by changing them to the present continuous. The focus is on identifying and producing the present continuous form across a variety of contexts.
This document discusses different techniques for persuasion including demonstrating empathy, providing testimonials, demonstrating examples, making competitive comparisons, and using both positive and negative messaging.
This document provides rules for making nouns plural in English and examples applying those rules. It begins with common plural forms and then provides 5 rules for forming plurals depending on the spelling of the singular noun. The rest of the document consists of exercises filling in the plural form of nouns in sentences according to the rules.
This document provides examples of using the second conditional to express hypothetical or unlikely situations. It gives sample sentences in the second conditional form and exercises for the reader to practice changing sentences into the second conditional. Key points:
- The second conditional uses "if + past tense" to talk about unlikely or imaginary situations in the present or future.
- Examples are provided to show how to change sentences into the second conditional form, focusing on changing the tense of the verbs.
- Exercises have the reader change sample sentences into the second conditional and write second conditional responses to questions expecting a "no" answer.
Street art began in the 1920s with graffiti on train carts in New York City by gangs. It evolved into a true artistic expression in the 1970s-1980s as done by teenagers. While often illegal, street art gained acceptance in the contemporary art world through art enthusiasts. There is no single definition of street art, but it is found in urban environments and is a popular public art form not limited to galleries. Street art has been influenced by artists' past experiences, the surrounding area, political views, and thoughts and opinions. It has relationships with other art forms like sculpture and installations. Famous street artist Shepard Fairey's "Hope" poster of Barack Obama impacted society by helping Obama win the presidency
This document describes an image denoising technique called the TWIST (Transform With Iterative Sampling and Thresholding) method. It begins with background on common types of image noise like Gaussian, salt-and-pepper, and quantization noise. It then discusses related work using eigendecomposition and the Nystrom extension for denoising. The proposed TWIST method uses the Nystrom extension to approximate the filter matrix with a low-rank matrix, allowing efficient processing of the entire image. It performs eigendecomposition on sample pixels to estimate eigenvalues and eigenvectors, then iterates this process with thresholding to denoise the image while preserving edges.

An ant works hard without supervision and is very productive. A lion in charge is impressed and hires a cockroach supervisor who implements excessive paperwork and meetings. This decreases the ant's productivity and morale. More managers are hired, expanding costs. An audit finds the department is overstaffed and the ant is fired for a bad attitude, though she was the original high performer. The fable warns about over-management reducing effectiveness.
An ant works hard without supervision and is very productive. A lion notices this and thinks she could produce even more with oversight. He hires a cockroach supervisor who implements extensive paperwork and meetings. This decreases the ant's productivity. More managers are hired, further reducing productivity until an audit reveals the department is overstaffed. The ant is fired for a poor attitude. The fable warns about over-management decreasing efficiency.
An ant works hard without supervision and is very productive. A lion in charge is impressed and hires more managers to oversee the ant, including a cockroach, spider, and fly. This leads to excessive meetings and paperwork that reduce the ant's productivity. More managers are hired, including a cicada and owl consultant. Ultimately, an audit finds productivity has declined due to overstaffing, and the ant is fired for lack of motivation despite being the original high performer. The story is an allegory for how over-management can negatively impact productivity.
