ORAL COMMUNICATION
Here are suggestions to structure your presentation with a hook, personal connection, and encouragement for interaction:
Introduction: "What if you could transform your presentations from forgettable to unforgettable? What if you could captivate your audience's attention from the moment you start speaking, leaving them eager for more? Today, I'm going to show you how to do just that."
PAY UP OR SHUT UP
This is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Who is Donnie kidding, when he is notorious for never paying his bills?
The original phrase comes from a 1620 translation of the Cervantes novel Don Quixote: “You are like what is said that the frying-pan said to the kettle, 'Avaunt, black-brows'.” Q: Avaunt? A: It's a now-archaic expression meaning “go away”.
OX ON DRAGON YEAR
My loving Ox will continue to be lucky in love in the Lunar New Year 2024. Some will also go through a strong glow-up.
Since you are happily married in a decades long relationship, this luck will bring you beautiful memories and surprises while you interact with your Tiger throughout the year.
AMERICAN FOOTBALL
To eyewitness and feel the power of American culture, just step into any hip coffee shop in a big city outside of the United States.
The decor will typically have a Brooklyn aesthetic, with exposed brickwork and mismatched chairs; American pop music will play softly in the background; patrons will pore over their MacBooks while sipping overpriced caffè americano. Want to exit Pax Americana? Ask one of those patrons to predict the winner of the Super Bowl, which is taking place today, and witness their blank stare.
THE THINKER
After hearing from my favorite grandson Parker, who will soon be a teenager, I got to thinking about what I did when I was his age.
He tells me that he now has a crush on a girl in school, so when we said goodbye I recalled watching a favorite black-and-white sitcom called Dobie Gillis.

OLD MONKEY
When I was a young boy, my family and some of their friends began calling me an old monkey because of premature puberty.
POTUS vs DEFENDANT
President Joe Biden may have escaped criminal charges over his alleged mishandling of classified information. But the case has revived concerns about his age, making it a central issue in his re-election campaign. Registered Republican Special Counsel Robert Hur advised against pursuing criminal charges against the president because he was concerned a jury would not believe he willfully held onto classified documents.
KC SUPER BOWL CHAMPS 1234
Super Bowl Sunday is over and ending in overtime in overtime SF/22 - KC/25 with eyes on the KC Chiefs beating the SF 49ers.
Take the most popular sporting event in America. Mix in the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs and an NFL legendary franchise, the San Francisco 49ers, then toss in the most popular celebrity on the planet what do you end up with? CBS Sports’ coverage of Super Bowl LVIII delivered the most-watched telecast in history with 123.4 million average viewers across all platforms.
STOP AUTHORITARIANS
Why are Republicans embracing authoritarian Russia and China rather than supporting our longtime democratic allues?
Former Republican Presidents Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush are just rolling over in their graves; they may also lurch from it in a fit of incredulous rage. This is a remarkable and potentially catastrophic reversal by a political party that is in a state of near-total, frequently random ideological decomposition.
