Dear Ahmed,
I'm back visiting my hometown of Jeddah. It's so nice to be back where I grew up. The corniche is as beautiful as ever with people walking and cycling along the sea. I stopped by the old souq and enjoyed browsing the spice and fabric shops. The smells transported me back to my childhood. I'm having kushari for lunch at one of our favorite places. I bought you back some baklawa and oranges from the local market. I wish you could visit your family with me. I'll be back in Cairo next week.
Missing you,

How To Foreplay With Wordplay. The Science Behind The Art of Surprise, Seduc...
What’s Broca and Why You Should Care?
When what we say is dirt-clod ordinary and egregiously expected, our audience becomes BORED and Love-Less!
It’s simple science. It’s about Broca.
According to experts, marketers try to pimp-slap our conscious awareness between 3,000 to 5,000 times per day!
We’d all go insane in the membrane if all those marketing messages registered. Our blessed brains have a built in safeguard called Broca. The Broca area of our brain anticipates, discounts and ignores the ordinary and predictable. (We also use Broca to arrange our words into understandable sentences.)
When speaking or writing, imagine Broca as your audience’s muscle-bound doorman, guarding the entryway to their conscious awareness. Mr. Broca decides if your message is worthy of attention. Broca is impressed by the surprise of the unexpected. Surprise Broca and you’re In Like Flint.
Here’s an example from Roy H. Willaims, author of the New York Times Bestseller, The Wizard Of Ads, Tools and Techniques for Profitable Persuasion.
Dirt-Clod: ”Merlot is more full bodied than Cabernet.” / Broca, yawns and the audience snores.

With the elements style, tone, and irony, students are especially us.docx
With the elements style, tone, and irony, students are especially used to unconscious recognition, a kind of "know it when I see it" affair. However, the book breaks them down well and shows different ways in which to recognize and analyze these elements. Style is something we are highly attuned to. We all have our own personal clothing style, speaking style, and even academic style - we study differently, think about how classes should be differently, respond to different teaching methods differently, and have different expectations about what a class should be. Trust me, this is something I am well aware of. What we often don't know is where these expectations and choices come from. It is especially difficult for us to question our own preferences when it comes to style, but it is also difficult to understand other people's choices. The important thing to have when it comes to style is an open mind. It is helpful to give people the benefit of the doubt and open ourselves up to different styles. We should always be in a conversation with an author. Why has the author chose a specific style? Why has an author left so much out? Sometimes we get unsettled by having to answer questions about a work because they don't answer them for us. However, if we understand an author's choices as an aspect of style, we can go ahead and assume there is a plan there. All we are left with is what is there. So we break that down into categories and look for important comparisons and relationships among these component pieces that may give us a clue as to what it is an author had in mind. This will be especially important when we get to poetry. Poetry is in many ways the art of leaving out everything but the absolute essentials. It is meant to bring us out of our comfort zone and force us to have an experience that we may not be comfortable with. We are left on our own to build something and to examine something and especially to question something. This is an important skill in the academic world. It is a process of creation. It is less about achieving some kind of goal and more about having an experience. That can be unsettling for students who often want things to be black and white, right or wrong. However, if we push ourselves into uncertainty and become comfortable with not having a necessarily right or wrong answer but instead a strong analysis, we can work with style. We also have the tools that the book teaches us, the elements. By breaking things down into pieces and categorizing them, we can come to conclusions that were not readily apparent when we began a process of analysis, much like the drafting process. We must begin somewhere and allow the process to take us somewhere new. It is messy. It isn't neat, but it is an experience that can change you and transform your thinking if you allow it to. What are some ways we can look at style to take it from just a group of preferences by an author to a distinct method that reflects the central idea? One th.

William Shakespeare was baptized in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564 and is believed to have been born on April 23rd of that year. He became an important member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men theatrical company in 1594. Shakespeare's early plays were written in the conventional style of the time but he was innovative in adapting the style to his purposes. His first plays were mostly histories dramatizing the results of weak or corrupt rulers to justify the origins of the Tudor Dynasty. Shakespeare was a respected playwright and actor in late 16th and early 17th century England and left the bulk of his estate to his daughter upon his death. His plays are still highly popular and constantly reinterpreted today for their presentation

How to Create a More Engaging and Human Online Learning Experience
How to Create a More Engaging and Human Online Learning Experience Wahiba Chair Training & Consulting
Wahiba Chair's Talk at the 2024 Learning Ideas Conference. LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

On dark, windy nights, when even the wolves stay in their dens, he can be a whole phrase! • He may seem like a bit of a Joker, but don’t be fooled he helps add structure. It’s his job to hook the reader in and keep him reading.
- 10. • The Doctors basic weapon is the power to stop and start a sentence. If capital letters and full stops are missing, or in the wrong place writing, is weak. It will not have the power to grab a reader. • His control over the reader is reinforced by the use of commas to separate ideas. They work well when combined with connectives and openers. • He reveals what characters actually say with speech marks. • Does he ask questions? Of course, that’s a great weapon for hooking a reader.

Editor's Notes
- Set up classroom with candle & mozart, lights dimmed
- These are the 4 generic targets which impact on writing. Chanting- hand movements. Best writing- always writing at the best level. VCOP should be incorporated into all Literacy sessions in both reading and writing. It may not be a separate session, should permeate all sessions including in other subjects. Still need to teach the framework objectives, picking out other things as well.
