The document discusses the passive voice in English. The passive voice is used when the receiver of the action is more important than the subject, the subject performer is unknown or unimportant, or the subject performer is obvious and does not need mentioning. To form the passive voice, the verb "to be" is used along with the past participle of the main verb. When changing sentences from active to passive voice, the subject becomes the first complement and is placed after "by" at the end of the sentence.

Reported speechmari appan

��

Direct speech uses quotation marks to report the exact words spoken by someone, while reported speech communicates what someone said without using their exact words. Reported speech often changes pronouns and verb tenses. Examples show direct speech retaining the original phrasing, while reported speech conveys the same meaning in an indirect way. Links to YouTube videos on this topic are provided for additional information.

Video is here: https://youtu.be/RrXSWS7Nt40 London, 1953. Scientists are on the verge of discovering what they call the secret of life: the DNA double helix. Providing the key is driven young physicist Rosalind Franklin. But if the double helix was the breakthrough of the 20th century, then what kept Franklin out of the history books? A play about ambition, isolation, and the race for greatness. Anna Ziegler is an American Playwright who is known for her use of language and whip-sharp dialogue. (2008) Photograph 51: This play is one that she has noted as “opening many doors (for her) professionally”, due to its positive critical response and great deal of media attention due to the impressive casting of Nichole Kidman. �ݺ�ߣs and Worksheets available here: http://www.slideshare.net/skolber Email me at :mrkolbersteaching@gmail.com Backdrop images from: https://pixabay.com/en/users/hadania-19110/

I am malala annotation insert - Annotation Guide cheat sheetSteven Kolber

��

I am Malala annotation insert, to go along with the series of videos available at 'Mr Kolber's Teaching' on YouTube. I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday. When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was fifteen, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive. Instead, Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate. I Am Malala is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls' education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.

Photograph 51 is an award-winning play by Anna Ziegler. Photograph 51 opened in the West End of London in September 2015.[1] The play focuses on the often-overlooked role of X-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin in the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA while working at King's College London.[2][3] This play won the 3rd STAGE International Script Competition in 2008.[4] The title comes from Photo 51, the nickname given to an X-ray diffraction image taken by Raymond Gosling in May, 1952, under the supervision of Rosalind Franklin.[5] The one-act play runs for 95-minutes with no intermission. The play premiered in the United States (where it was produced at Ensemble Studio Theatre in New York, Theater J in Washington DC, Seattle Repertory Theatre in Seattle, amongst many others),[6] then in London's Noël Coward Theatre, in the West End, directed by Michael Grandage.[7]

This document discusses different types of comparative essay questions and provides examples. It groups the questions into four categories: character-based questions which are easier, thematic questions which are most common, views and values questions which are harder, and structural questions which are rarest but allow for excellent analysis.

Blind spots in AI and Formulation Science, IFPAC 2025.pdfAjaz Hussain

��

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.
