What makes a book character “real as life” to a reader? To a great extent it boils down to one powerful writing technique. Deep point-of-view (POV) results in stronger reader reactions to characters. Whether adoration or hate, emotions run high.
You can achieve this subliminal attachment by staying deep inside a character’s head. The goal… relate their experiences so a reader shares every intimate sensation of thought, sight, hearing, taste, smell, and tactical contact.
If you want to learn specific tips on how to delve into a character’s experience to develop vibrant emotional connections with a reader, you won’t want to miss this two-hour workshop with Book Shepherd Ann Videan.
Authors, learn a handful of writing and editing techniques to make your story jump off the page. Award-winning editor, Ann Videan, will help you discover techniques to build visual imagery and emotion, which subconsciously attach readers to your story.
In this session, you will explore:
• Leveraging the scene question to develop a compelling plot line
• Writing with active voice, and deep point-of-view

Elaine describes graphology is 'brainwriting' - the handwriting comes directly from the writer in a uniquely personal and individual way, irrespective of how the person has been taught to write: an expert graphologist understands the styles of the different countries and languages and makes allowances for 'taught' influences. Also largely irrelevant to the actual analysis is the content of the written text.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. • With every utterance referring to some object
or event, or expressing a perception, thought
or belief, the speaker or writer is also
performing an act: he is communicating an
intention or an attitude, which may or may
not be overtly expressed.
• Awareness of speech acts facilitates one’s
comprehension of meaning in reading and
listening.
• Knowledge of them enhances the
effectiveness of our ability to communicate in
both writing and speaking.
4. • “It’s so cold.”
• “I can’t read this. I don’t have my glasses.”
• “Don’t climb the peach.” “I’ll be careful.”
• “Unbelievable.” “I know.”
• “What are you doing here?”
• “What are YOU doing here?”
• “What ARE you doing here?”
5. What factors inform communicative
competence/knowledge of speech acts?
• Culture – traditions / practices / references
• Social norms / conventions / expectations
• Notions of civilized / proper / acceptable
behavior
• Perspectives
• Frames of mind
• Social class
• Power
• Speech conventions
6. DEFINING
Diablo is an action role-playing hack-
and-slash video game developed by
Blizzard North and released by Blizzard
entertainment on December 31, 1996.
7. DESCRIBING / ATTRIBUTING
Set in the fictional Kingdom of
Khanduras, located in the world of
Sanctuary, Diablo has the player take
control of a lone hero battling to rid the
world of Diablo, the Lord of Terror.
8. NAMING
The expansion pack released in 1997,
which was not created by Blizzard
Entertainment, is entitled Diablo Hellfire.
10. INSTRUCTING
The hero must kill the Skeleton King so
he can be released from his curse, kill
Archbishop Lazarus, and, eventually, fight
Diablo himself.
12. COMPARING / CONTRASTING
Players of the original Diablo release had
to painstakingly develop characters by
acquiring skill points throughout quests
and assigning these to strategically
chosen skills within 3 skill trees, whereas
the Diablo 3 release introduced
preprogrammed skills which appeared
automatically in the characters once skill
points have been earned.
13. JUDGING / EVALUATING /
ASSESSING / CRITICIZING
Despite the rather pale storyline,
watered-down quests and a fair amount
of necessary repetition, Diablo is a must
for anyone interested in just plain fun.
