+* How to speak
+  MIT. Patrick Henry Winston
+** How to start
+   - no joke
+   - a promise
+   - even before menu
+** The BIG 4
+*** Cycle (say it, say it again, etc...)
+     - psychology, first loop bring in from long term memory necessary material
+     - probability, probality some individual miss what you say, say it about 3 times
+*** Verbal punctuation
+    - time to get time on board
+    - "here I am" talking about X
+    - verbal boundaries between the points
+*** Near Miss
+    - concept, but also something that isn't the concept but almost
+    - comparing examples by somthing that isn't the concept
+    - help establish its boundaries
+*** Ask Question
+    - they should frequent and easy to answer
+    - pause for 5s between the question and ask the answer
+    - the pause feel very long for the speaker, but not for the audience
+** Time & Place
+*** best hour 10h30 in the morning
+    distribute candy bars after 15h
+*** Hall well lit, outside if possible
+    never dim the light, etc...
+*** Full
+    harder to have enthusiastic audience to a disperse audience
+*** Flat
+    not theatrical like because people expect thatre
+** Blackboard
+   usable blackboard is important
+*** Draw
+   - allow you to draw, icons, pictures, etc...
+   - psychology, intelligence is buried in linguistic and visual system
+   - draw often
+*** Lists
+   - make lists!
+*** Target
+    - show something with your hands, point the blackboard
+    - a great talked pointed to zone not in relation with the talk, it was still
+      effective
+** Overheads
+*** DO NOT: read your transparences
+    people know how to read, and reading will just annoy them
+    substantial fraction of the audience will be annoyed
+*** DO NOT: stand well appart from your transparences
+*** DO NOT: wave your pointer around, becomes a distraction
+    you don't need it, because of the thing you have at the end of your arm
+*** DO NOT: cover and uncover the slides
+    substantial fraction of the audience will be annoyed
+    - you can add things, colors
+  Transparent are often overused.
+** Props
+*** examples, demonstrations
+** Style
+   How do you decide what to bring to your own personna?
+   - He didn't copy anybody, but look to everybody, and adapt to my own skills
+   - It's ok to be eccentric
+   - Use of a *story*
+** How to Stop
+   Stopping is extremely difficult.
+*** DO NOT: Thanks the audience
+    because it show you aren't sure about the value of your talk
+*** JOKE
+    - make people think they had fun all time
+    - sometime you don't have a joke
+*** DELIVER
+    - remind people of your promise
+*** CALL FOR QUESTIONS
+*** SALUTE
+    - "This conclude what I have to say"
+    - I wish to add only that
+    - Being here the past few days has been wonderfully stimulating and
+      provocating experience for me and I look forward to have the similar
+      experience in the future.
+** Questions 1
+   Ask yourself a question if no question.
+   non verbal communication is important, smile and look grateful
+** Question 2-4
+** Postlude
+   - writing list and square
+   - people only learn what they almost already know, just incrementally add a
+     new information
