The Cicero Method is a mnemonic technique, based off of the method of loci, which allows memorization of sequential information.
The Method
Cicero support images are created by mentally 'walking around' a location you are familiar with. Objects are selected in clock-wise or counter-clockwise order, yielding a set of support images which are naturally memorized in order already. Visual informational elements are then attached to these locations.
Example: In your living room you might have a lamp, chair, table, bookshelf, and mirror. To memorize the list 'Paper towels - chocolate - carrot - apple - plate' you would imagine paper towels on a lamp, chocolate on the chair, a carrot on the table, etc... All of these images would be connected following the guidelines set forth in the Chain Method
The greatest strength of this method is that information is connected independently of other elements. So if one connection is forgotten, the rest remain intact.

The Italian Lesson is a sketch by Monty Python and was shown in the first broadcast episode ("Whither Canada") of Monty Python's Flying Circus on October 5, 1969.
Cast
* Terry Jones: Italian Teacher
* Michael Palin: Giuseppe (a student)
* John Cleese: Mariolini (another student)
* Eric Idle: Francesco (another student)
* Graham Chapman: Helmut (a German student)
Synopsis
After x'ing out one of a series of pigs drawn on a chalkboard, an English instructor of Italian begins his evening class. He sits down on the desk and reviews what they have learnt in the previous session. He asks if anyone remembers the Italian word for "spoon." Shouts of 'Si, si, si' erupt from the class, whom we now see appear to be almost all Italians. The teacher picks Giuseppe. After receiving praise for giving the correct answer ("Il cucchiaio"), Giuseppe profusely thanks the teacher in rapid and fluent Italian. The teacher then gives ways of how to start a conversation. In a heavily British accent he says in Italian, "I am an Englishman from Gerrard's Cross (Sono un inglese da Gerrard's Cross)". He then asks his class to repeat what he had just said, which they do as closely to the teacher's pronunciation as possible. Then he asks Mariolini's place of birth and tells Mariolini that he should say, "I am an Italian from Napoli (Sono un italiano da Napoli)". Another student, Francesco, complains (in Italian) and says he is from Milano. The teacher asks what Francesco said, as he did not understand. Giuseppe explains, but in midsentence he is cut off by Helmut, who stands up and asks for the translation of a German word. The teacher directs Helmut to the German classroom. Once Helmut leaves, Giuseppe continues translating what Francesco said. An argument ensues between Francesco and Mariolini over which Italian city is better, Milano vs. Napoli. After Giuseppe translates this to the teacher, the teacher replies, "Oh, he shouldn't be saying that, we haven't done comparatives yet". The argument continues as yet another Italian student gets up and starts playing the guitar, and the scene ends.

The Arab Library, a comprehensive Arabic book portal, is part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation’s publishing strategy. The inclusive e-library comprises numerous books, poems, biographies, periodicals, and articles easily accessed by Arab users.
This initiative answers Arab researchers’ needs by providing them with easy access to resources. Additionally, the Arab Library contributes to the enrichment of online Arabic content, as it seeks to become the world’s largest Arabic online library.
The portal provides users with advanced electronic applications allowing them to communicate with the portal management team. Among these applications are polls, quizzes, Oktub and Tarjem Programmes, as well as many other interactive services.
The portal will be updated on a daily basis to keep enriching its content of valuable old and recent Arabic literary works.
Similar initiatives supported by the Foundation, including the Arab Narrative Encyclopedia and Al Ghani Dictionary, will be launched soon.
The portal currently includes:
•Around 2000 books with 30 new books uploaded each month
•Full 1180 issues of three important periodicals (Al Risalah, Fatat Al Sharq, and Lughat Al Arab)
•Reviews of 500 Arabic and foreign recently published books, to which 2 new reviews will be added daily
•5000 biographies of Arab literary figures
•7 complete dictionaries such as Lisan Al Arab, Al Sahah, and Asas Al Balagha

The SixXS IPv6Gate/IPv4Gate, sometimes just called IPv6Gate or IPv4Gate depending on the flavor in use, is a free IPv6 to IPv4 (IPv6Gate) and IPv4 to IPv6 (IPv4Gate) web proxy. It provides access to IPv6 websites from an IPv4 address and vice versa to IPv4 websites from an IPv6 address. It thus acts as a gateway to either IPv4 or IPv6, hence the IPv6Gate.
How to use it
The IPv6Gate works by either appending .sixxs.org or ipv6.sixxs.org or ipv4.sixxs.org depending on if one wants to access IPv4 websites from an IPv6 address or IPv6 websites from an IPv4 address.
IPv6Gate
To access an IPv4 website from an IPv6 address (thus that your computer has an IPv6 address), one simply has to add <code>.sixxs.org</code> to the hostname in the site's URL. So, for example, <code> http://en. .org/wiki/Main_Page </code> becomes <code> http://en. .org .sixxs.org/wiki/Main_Page</code>. The latter is known as a IPv6Gated link. One can also append <code>.ipv6.sixxs.org</code> similar to the usage of the IPv4Gate thus <code> http://en. .org .ipv6.sixxs.org/wiki/Main_Page</code>.
IPv4Gate
To access an IPv6 website from an IPv4 address (thus that your computer has an IPv4 address), one simply has to add <code>.sixxs.org</code> to the hostname in the site's URL. So, for example, <code> http://www.kame.net </code> becomes <code> http://www.kame.net .ipv4.sixxs.org</code>. The latter is known as a IPv4Gated link. The KAME website is often used as an example of an IPv6 website due to the Dancing KAME ("Kame" is Japanese for turtle).
How it works
The complete .sixxs.org Domain name points to a set of servers that translate requests that end in .sixxs.org to either their IPv4 or IPv6 equivalents. The translation includes rewriting all of the links inside the page so that when following a link the link stays inside the .sixxs.org domain, thus keeping you on the proxy and thus allowing one to browse sites.
History
The project was launched publicly on 28 January 2003. Since then tweaks have been applied to let it better function with various websites like Slashdot, and others.
The IPv6Gate was featured twice on Slashdot. in February 2003 and January 2009 but didn't get slashdotted
