 Virtual Meetings Virtual Meetings A New Layer of Entertainment As remote work continues to be the norm, virtual meetings have become an integral part of our daily lives. With a simple click of a button, we can connect with our colleagues from all around the world, and the best part? We can do it all while wearing our pajamas! But while virtual meetings may have made work from home more accessible, they've also become a great equalizer of awkwardness. No longer are we able to rely on nonverbal cues or the comfort of face-to-face communication to navigate through difficult conversations. Now, we're forced to confront the awkwardness head-on, and it's not always pretty. Virtual Meetings Take, for example, the dreaded pause. In a virtual meeting, a pause can feel like an eternity, with everyone waiting for someone else to break the silence. And when it finally does happen, it's usually accompanied by the sound of someone's dog barking or a baby crying in the backgroun...

English Language Phonetics Pronunciation - Physical & Visual Activity The Phonemic Chart The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) As spelling and sounds are different, we use a special script called “phonemic script” to transcribe spoken language. For teaching purposes, English sounds are often displayed in the form of a phonemic chart, also known as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Here is a copy of the phonemic chart that you can download and / or print to use in class or for personal study. In this course for the most famous ELT Specialist in Pronunciation, Adrian Underhill, he shows how to take pronunciation out of the head and into the body, to make pronunciation a physical activity, not just a mental activity. When we attend to muscles, muscles work by moving, and when things move they're visible. So; in a way, we're also making sounds vi...

Python 4.3.1.9 LAB: Prime numbers - how to find them

-
Image
  Python 4.3.1.9 LAB Objectives familiarizing the student with classic notions and algorithms; improving the student's skills in defining and using functions. Scenario A natural number is prime if it is greater than 1 and has no divisors other than 1 and itself. Complicated? Not at all. For example, 8 isn't a prime number, as you can divide it by 2 and 4 (we can't use divisors equal to 1 and 8, as the definition prohibits this). On the other hand, 7 is a prime number, as we can't find any legal divisors for it. Your task is to write a function checking whether a number is prime or not. The function: The Challenge is called is_prime ; takes one argument (the value to check) returns True if the argument is a prime number, and False otherwise. Hint: try to divide the argument by all subsequent values ( starting from 2 ) and check the remainder - if it's zero , your number cannot be a prime ; think carefully about when you should stop the process . If you need to know...
