A Time of Need👌👌

Many years ago two boys were working their way through Stanford University. Their funds got desperately low, and the idea came to them to engage the famous pianist Ignacy Paderewski for a piano recital. They would use the funds to help pay their board and tuition.

The great pianist's manager asked for a guarantee of $2,000. The guarantee was a lot of money in those days, but the boys agreed and proceeded to promote the concert. They worked hard, only to find that they had grossed only $1,600.

After the concert the two boys told the great artist the bad news. They gave him the entire $1,600, along with a promissory note for $400, explaining that they would earn the amount at the earliest possible moment and send the money to him. It looked like the end of their college careers.

"No, boys," replied Paderewski, "that won't do." Then, tearing the note in two, he returned the money to them as well. "Now," he told them, "take out of this $1,600 all of your expenses, and keep for each of you 10 percent of the balance for your work. I will be satisfied with the amount remaining."

The years rolled by -- World War I came and went. Paderewski, now premier of Poland, was trying to feed thousands of starving people in his native land. The only person in the world who could help him was Herbert Hoover, who was in charge of the U.S. Food and Relief Bureau. Hoover responded and soon thousands of tons of food were sent to Poland.

After the starving people were fed, Paderewski journeyed to Paris to thank Mr. Hoover for the relief he had sent to him.

"That's all right, Mr. Paderewski," was Hoover's reply. "Besides, you don't remember it, but you helped me once when I was a student at college, and I was in trouble."

لماذا نقولgo home
ولا نقولgo to home
الجواب: هذا يدخل ضمن ما يسمى غريب اللغة الانجليزية
فلك ان تتصور أن كلمة home هنا ليست (noun/اسم)
وإنما تصنف adverb of place أي حال /ظرف مكان و معنىhome👈[نحو المنزل/فى اتجاه المنزل] 👈وحال/ظرف المكان لا يقبل حرف الجر المكان(to, at, in, from, on,..).
‏وقس على ذلك مثلًا الاتجاهات الأربع
أن قول Go west
اذهب غربًا / نحو الغرب / قبالة الغرب وليس Go to west
أو مثلًا مع كلمة inside أو outside
مثال
I’ll go outside/there
وليس
I’ll go to outside/there
👈👈ولكن اذا أتى قبل home ضمير صفة ملكية(my/his/her/their..)أو (اسم+s') أو (this/that) نضع to قبل home لان home هنا أصبحت "اسم" و ليس حال/ظرف
I went to his home yesterday.

❄️ Libel and slander both refer to defamation, which means making a false statement that harms someone’s reputation. The key difference is the form the statement takes.

⭐️ Libel 

is defamation in a written or fixed form. That includes newspapers, books, posts online, emails, or even broadcasts that are recorded and replayed.

🫧 Ex:- The article falsely accused him of fraud.

⭐️ Slander 

is defamation that is spoken aloud. It usually refers to words said in conversation, speeches, meetings, or other temporary spoken settings.

🫧 Ex:- She slandered her neighbor at the meeting.

✍ A simple way to remember the contrast is this: if the harmful false statement is written or published, use libel. If it is spoken, use slander.


♤ Use libel for print, text, and posted content.
♤ Use slander for spoken remarks.

☆ Both involve false statements that damage reputation.

Parameter and Perimeter sound similar, but they refer to very different things.

💠 Parameter usually means a limit, rule, condition, or setting. It is often used in planning, science, math, and technology. You can think of it as something that defines what is allowed or what range something can have.

🔰 Ex:- We set clear parameters for the project.
Here, the word refers to boundaries or guidelines for the work.

💠 Perimeter means the distance around the outside edge of a shape or area. It is a measurement word, often used in geometry, land, and security contexts.

🔰 Ex:- The fence marks the perimeter of the yard.
Here, the word refers to the outer boundary of the space.

⚜ Use parameter for limits, conditions, rules, or settings.

⚜ Use perimeter for the outer edge or total distance around something.

🌀 If you are talking about measurement around a shape, choose perimeter.

🌀 If you are talking about boundaries for action or discussion, choose parameter.


✍ A simple memory tip helps:-
parameter is often abstract, while perimeter is physical and measurable.
