The role of emotions in supporting independent professionals
Joanne McKeown, Melanie Bryant, Robyn Cochrane
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter (Book) › Research › peer-review
This chapter looks at how work on emotions, particularly positive emotional states and perceptions of work, has provided the basis for gleaning new insights and understanding the work the engagement of independent professionals. We present the first set of results of the Entity Solutions11Independent Professional (IPro) is a contemporary term used to describe white collar contractors. IPro Index (ESII), the leading benchmark survey for identifying trends, issues and attitudes of IPros in Australia. Prior research indicates the important role that personality traits such as positive affectivity, self-efficacy and internal locus of control can have in determining a positive emotional state at work. These findings lead to the identification of five key areas of lifestyle (overall job satisfaction), well-being (engagement, psychological and emotional aspects), commitment to current client (workplace), perceived support from current client (workplace) and trends (current issues) which underlie the ESII. We use this research as a foundation for developing further understanding of the emotional experiences of those working outside of the traditional employera??employee relationship and in doing so, focus specifically on four of the key areas: job satisfaction, well-being, commitment and perceived organizational support. The descriptive results are derived from 365 responses gathered in an online survey conducted during June and July 2010 from IPros working in Australian organizations.

Enbridge Inc. and Michigan Tech University have partnered on a water current monitoring bouy that will be deployed in the Straits of Mackinac in Aug. 2015.

STRAITS OF MACKINAC -- A new Upper Great Lakes Observing System buoy will be anchored in the Straits of Mackinac to monitor currents in the area of a controversial oil pipeline.
Michigan Technological University's Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC) will install the yellow buoy in partnership with Enbridge Inc., which operates a twin oil pipeline under the straits that's been the focus of intense public scrutiny.
Until now, there has been limited real-time measurement of water movements in the heavil- traveled waterway where Lake Huron and Lake Michigan meet, said Guy Meadows, GLRC director.
"This buoy... will give us additional data to enhance our legacy of safe operations that dates back for more than 60 years," said Dave Hoffman, senior manager of research, development and innovation for Enbridge Pipelines.
• Why the state won't shut down the Mackinac straits pipeline
• Signs of historic Kalamazoo River oil spill nearly gone 5 years later
• UofM study: Straits oil spill would be economic 'death blow'
The new buoy will be equipped with standard weather and wave sensors and an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler that measures the water flow with downward focused sound waves. The buoy will measure the magnitude and direction of currents at one-meter intervals from near the surface to the bottom.
The buoy will also measure wind direction and speed, wind gust speed, air temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, solar radiation, water temperature, wave height and direction.
"We will now be able to verify the predictions of the very complex flows through the Straits of Mackinac with real-time data," said Meadows. "It will also enable us to verify our new numerical hydrodynamic model of the combined Lakes Michigan and Huron."
The buoy is being assembled in Houghton and should be deployed this month west of the bridge on the U.P. side of the Straits in about 100 feet of water.
Once in operation, the data will be displayed on the GLRC's UGLOS website and updated every 10 minutes. All data will be accessible to the public at http://uglos.mtu.edu.

It's no joke that Facebook is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, social networking websites on the Internet. Countless celebrities, musical artists, and brands have Facebook pages in order to connect more deeply with their consumer base and keep them in the loop when it comes to new products. The new Chevrolet Facebook campaign takes advantage of Facebook's latest new feature, the introduction of 'reactions,' which take the place of simply 'liking' someone's post or status. In Chevy's Facebook campaign, however, they are asking their customers to do one specific thing—give the new 2016 Malibu a bit of Facebook love.
Near the end of February, Chevrolet posted a minute-long video to their Facebook page that revolved around the Malibu, claiming that merely saying you 'like' the Malibu doesn't do it justice. Instead, you should express your admiration for the new sedan by using Facebook's new 'love' reaction, a red circle with a white heart in the middle.
The Chevrolet Facebook campaign for the new Malibu comes shortly after the partnership of Chevrolet and famed, cult-status "Evil Dead" director Sam Raimi on another quirky, horror-themed ad campaign. The Raimi ad plays on the idea of an audience warning the characters in a horror film against whatever potential dangers lie ahead, comparing the yelling of the audience to new driver alert safety features. But whether Chevy is going a scarier route or employing the use of new social media emojis, the company is making an effort to stay in touch with a younger consumer base.

Paper stealing shows no respect for free speech
The Daily Mississippian is free and therefore has no monetary value.
But the DM is a tangible representative of one of the principles on which our nation was founded, and therefore has an inherent worth far above the value of money.
For the second time this year, Daily Mississippians have been taken in mass numbers.
Last November, on the eve of election day, about 1,500 newspapers were reported missing from racks on the Ole Miss campus and throughout Oxford.
Last Sunday, a witness reported seeing a man remove about 20 papers from newspaper racks. According to the witness, the man refused to give him a paper when approached. A university police department officer approached the man and asked him to give the papers back.
The list goes on. In 1997, an anonymous caller told the DM editor that if a negative letter to the editor ran about an Associated Student Body candidate, he would steal the papers.
None of the culprits have faced charges, although newspaper stealing is illegal. Since no convictions have been made, we have little idea of what these thieves' motivations were. But on each occasion, a controversial article or editorial was in the stolen papers. Someone likely did not want the public to hear the truth.
Each time a person decides that he will prevent the public from reading a "negative" piece, he attacks the integrity of the First Amendment. He commits an unforgivable breach against free speech. It is not the duty of any one person to decide what the public should or should not see.
A newspaper provides one of the most essential forums available to the public. Apparently, some people don't understand that and have chosen to steal your forum.
The DM realizes that the large majority of its readership is committed to free speech, but a small and persistent minority continues to show its complete disregard for the rest of the public by stealing newspapers. This small minority has no principles and would rather try to hide the truth than face the consequences of what we publish.
Stealing a newspaper does little harm to The DM, but the damage it does to our concept of free speech is irreparable.
This editorial originally appeared in the Daily Mississippian on Aug. 1.

Q: How do I call an arbitrary C function passed to another function? I'm writing a unit test framework (see SO for more details). Or view the code at GitHub.
Safer Code describes a way to pass functions of arbitrary types.
But how do I call such a function without knowing its types beforehand? Assume f needs no input, so f() should work on its own.
Let's say I want to populate an array using an arbitrary generator function.
void* gen_array(fp gen, size_t size) {
    int i, len = gen_int() % 100;

    void* arr = GC_MALLOC(len * size);

    for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        arr[i] = gen(NULL);
    }

    return arr;
}

It should look something like this, but I get compiler errors:
gcc -o example example.c qc.c qc.h -lgc
In file included from example.c:1:
qc.h:21: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'size_t'
In file included from qc.c:1:
qc.h:21: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'size_t'
qc.c:23: error: conflicting types for 'gen_array'
qc.h:21: error: previous declaration of 'gen_array' was here
qc.c: In function 'gen_array':
qc.c:29: warning: dereferencing 'void *' pointer
qc.c:29: error: too many arguments to function 'gen'
qc.c:29: error: invalid use of void expression
qc.h:21: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'size_t'
make: *** [example] Error 1

A: That page suggests you make the function pointer take a void*. So in order for your code to compile, you must pass it a void pointer:
typedef void* (*fp)(void*);

doit(fp f) {
   f(NULL);
}

And just make sure that the function that you're calling simply ignores the parameter.
Generally speaking, these generic function pointers are used for starting threads. The void pointer is simply a pointer to a struct that holds the actual parameters.

A: After thinking about some more I realize your problem your above code would never work.
You are first calling trying to call a void function with no parameters with the parameter NULL. Next you would need your code to be more generic. I placed an example below of what I mean. Now using a global variable
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

typedef void (*fp)(void);

void * GEN_ARRAY_TEMP;

int gen_int() {
    return 67;
}

void* gen_array(fp gen, size_t size) {
    int i, len = gen_int() % 100;

    void* arr = malloc(len * size);
    void* arr_end = arr + len * size;
    GEN_ARRAY_TEMP = arr;

    while (GEN_ARRAY_TEMP <= arr_end) {
        gen();
        GEN_ARRAY_TEMP+=size;
    }
    return arr;
}

void make_int() {
    (*(int*)GEN_ARRAY_TEMP) = 9;
}

int main() {
    int i;
    int * gen_int_array = (int*) gen_array(make_int, sizeof(int));
    for(i=0;i<67;i++) {
        printf("%d\n",gen_int_array[i]);
    }
}

A: What would you need to do is wrap your function in a void function like so
#include <stdio.h>
typedef void (*fp)(void);

int sum(int x,int y) {return x+y;}

void doit(fp f) {
        f();
}

void func() {
        printf("Hello %d\n",sum(1,2));
}

int main() {
        doit(func);
}

A: You have two problems:
First, qc.h is missing a <stdlib.h> include. This is needed for use of size_t.
Second, in gen_array, you create a void *arr, then try to dereference it as an array (arr[i]). Since the compiler doesn't know the size of your array elements, it cannot fill the array. You must treat it as a char *, offset by arr + size * i, and pass it into gen rather than taking a return (returns also need to know the structure size):
// ...
char *arr = GC_MALLOC(len * size);

for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    gen(arr + i * size, NULL);
}

return arr;

This will of course require changing the fp type definition.

A: For the case where your pointer to a function 'fp' is of type which takes no argument and returns void, in which case you should declare it as :
typedef void (*fp)();

In the above case the call should be :
(*gen)();

If your pointer to the function 'fp' is of type which takes 'void *' as argument and returns void, in which case you should declare it as :
typedef void (*fp)(void *);

In the above case the call should be :
(*gen)(NULL);

or any other pointer variable you might want to pass.
As far as your example goes try this :
typedef void * (*fp)(void *);

void* gen_array(fp gen, size_t size) {
    int i, len = gen_int() % 100;

    void* arr = GC_MALLOC(len * size);

    for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
        arr[i]  = (*gen)(NULL);
    }

    return arr;
}

Classic Star Wars Games Coming to Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4
March 26th, 2020 0 15
This post contains affiliate links. For more information, please read this disclosure. Affiliate Link Disclosure
Fans of classic games got a welcome bit of news today with the announcement of two classic Star Wars games for both the Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4 consoles. The Nintendo 64 podracing game Star Wars Episode I Racer and 2003's final installment of the Jedi Knight series, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy are both coming to modern consoles.
Available Now for Switch and Playstation 4
Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy was originally announced last September along with its predecessor, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, but wasn't given a release date. It is now available for both Switch and Playstation 4 today in their respective eShops for $19.99. Out of cash in your eShop accounts? Stock up with Switch or Playstation code cards on Amazon.
The game features both a single-player story and a multiplayer component. Both modes are available in the newest version of the game. The max number of multiplayer competitors varies per system.
Also of note, Jedi Outcast is on sale today in the Switch eShop for $7.99 (normally $9.99).
Coming Soon to Switch and Playstation 4
Episode I Racer was originally re-released on Steam in 2018. It is the latest classic Star Wars game to hit modern consoles, a trend I hope continues to include Shadows of the Empire. Aspyr handled the ports of all three games released thus far. No date was announced for Racer, but I expect it will be available in late Summer or early Fall. A similar pattern with the announcement and release of the Jedi Knight games. The port may happen faster though given the work for Steam release.
UPDATE (4/16/2020): StarWars.com has revealed that Episode I Racer will launch on May 12th!

Canada Files WTO Complaint Over U.S. Use of Tariffs
Move comes just weeks before talks on revamping Nafta begin in Montreal
Canada says its World Trade Organization complaint is part of 'broader litigation' to defend its softwood-lumber producers, which were hit last year with U.S. tariffs of 20% or more. Above, softwood lumber is stacked in Madawaska, Canada.

OTTAWA—Canada is challenging the Trump administration's use of tariffs in a complaint filed with the World Trade Organization, just weeks before crucial talks on revamping the North American Free Trade Agreement get under way in Montreal.
Canada says the complaint, made public Wednesday, is part of "broader litigation" to defend the country's softwood-lumber producers, which were hit last year with U.S. tariffs of 20% or more. The complaint alleges the U.S. application of tariffs, and their calculation, are "inconsistent" with WTO obligations.
Trade-law experts say Canada's WTO filing is among the broadest challenges to date against the U.S. practice of imposing countervailing and anti-dumping tariffs against imports it deems to be hurting U.S. industries. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer criticized Canada's complaint as "ill-advised" and "unfounded," adding the move "could only lower U.S. confidence that Canada is committed to mutually beneficial trade."
While softwood is not a subject being addressed in the Nafta talks, some trade watchers said the complaint nonetheless will add tension around discussions when they resume later this month in Montreal.
"This to me is putting an extra finger in the eye" of the Trump administration, said Mark Warner, a trade lawyer who practices in Toronto and New York. "This is a very aggressive move…and I don't know whether this is the right time to file this particular case."

Study identifies women who benefit less from digital breast tomosynthesis
Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.Jul 28 2020
A new comparison of two breast-screening technologies has found that, for most women, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT, also called 3D mammography) is superior to digital mammography for cancer detection and for reducing recall visits due to unclear or false findings.
The study's distinction, though, is in identifying women for whom DBT's advantage is less. Previous evidence had suggested that DBT would generally benefit all women.
DBT is improving screening outcomes for the vast majority of women getting screening mammography. Unfortunately, it does not seem to benefit the 10% of women who have extremely dense breasts and who already experience the poorest of mammography outcomes today."
Kathryn Lowry, Assistant Professor of Radiology, University of Washington School of Medicine
Lowry and Yates Coley, an assistant investigator in biostatistics at Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute, were co-lead authors on the paper. It was published today by JAMA Network Open.
Digital mammography is a long-established X-ray diagnostic for breast cancer. DBT, known as three-dimensional mammography, was approved by the FDA in 2011, but clinicians did not have a corresponding medical billing code for it until 2015. Despite its recent emergence, several studies have associated DBT with better cancer detection and fewer recall visits than digital mammography, but few have been able to examine differences between subgroups of women.
In this research, the investigators analyzed more than 1.5 million breast exams from women ages 40-79, measuring cancers detected and patient recalls by age groups, breast densities, and by baseline exam versus subsequent exams.
The researchers found that DBT is most beneficial for women undergoing their first screening mammogram, associating that group with the largest improvements in recall reduction and cancer detection. In subsequent exams, most women experience one or both of these benefits with DBT. But for women whose breasts were categorized as "extremely dense," DBT did not make a difference in how many cancers were found or how many recalls these women had.
"This is a concern because this group of women is known to be at higher risk for cancer and higher risk for having cancers missed by mammography," Lowry said.
Beyond that subgroup, DBT's superior performance to digital mammography was broadly experienced, she added. Importantly, most women with dense breasts are in the heterogeneously dense category, and these women had the largest boost in cancer detection with DBT.
Cancer cells hibernate to survive harsh environment created by chemotherapy
Liver cancer cells cause stromal cells to secrete protein that enhances tumor growth
Mediterranean diet has the potential to effect progression of prostate cancer
The findings accrue to research being pursued by members of the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium, a U.S. network of breast imaging registries. Coley conducted the analysis of data from the participating registries, which was pooled at Kaiser Permanente Washington.
"This study incorporated so much data and from sites that are geographically, racially, and ethnically diverse, and this allowed us to explore questions that other researchers have not," Coley said.
"Our findings can help providers and patients better decide how to make decisions about screening mammography. If a provider only has access to one or two DBT machines, it will help them determine which patients should get priority with those. If a patient has to pay more out of pocket or drive several hours to reach a provider who offers DBT, this can help them know whether they're likely to experience benefit," she added.
Today, FDA data suggests that about two-thirds of U.S. mammography facilities offer DBT. Insurance coverage, however, has lagged and is inconsistent across states.
Many women do not know the density of their breasts, Lowry said. There are four categories of density, each describing a different mix of glandular tissue, fibrous connective tissue, ducts, and fat. About half of all women have dense breasts, with a higher proportion of glandular and connective tissue; about 10% of all women have "extremely dense" breasts.
Nearly 40 states now mandate that women having mammograms receive some form of notification about the impact of breast density on breast cancer risk and detection of cancer.
Language of these laws varies by state, and not all women are informed of their specific density category, Lowry said. For instance, a woman may be told she has "dense breasts" but not specifically told she is among the 10% of women whose breasts are extremely dense.
When DBT was introduced, "we hoped that it would benefit these women," Lowry said, "but unfortunately this adds to the evidence that we still need to think about how to improve screening for this group."

The Van Rensselaer Lower Manor is located along the NY 23 state highway on the east side of Claverack, New York, United States. It is a combination of two 18th-century houses, one stone and the other frame, later connected with a hyphen and then combined into one building and sided in wood. One local historian called the result a "growth" that no longer had any architectural merit. It retains much of its original interior layout, finishes and fenestration.

One of the houses was among the earliest built in the region. The structure continued to be expanded. As its name suggests it was used by the Van Rensselaer family to maintain a presence on the southern boundary of their family lands during the colonial era. In 1998 it and an associated barn were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Property
The  lot on which the house is located is on the north side of Route 23  east of its junction with routes 9H and 23B at  the center of Claverack. The land slopes up gently to the house from the south and more steeply from the west. There is a barn to the north and a greenhouse/shop to the southeast. An unpaved driveway runs along the east side, between the house and a low retaining wall, to the barn.

The house itself is a two-story building, five bays wide by six deep. Its front section has a metal roof that slopes up from a full-width front porch over the course of the two southernmost side bays to a crest pierced by a brick chimney, then drops slightly to remain flat all the way to the rear, where another chimney rises. It is sided in white clapboard save a small portion on the rear of the first story where the original stonework is visible. The front section has a cellar, accessible from the west side.

A one-story modern kitchen wing has been built on the west side near the south end.  All windows have louvered shutters. Small vents are located above the second story windows. In the middle of the east facade on the first story an entrance is sheltered by a hipped-roofed porch supported by chamfered posts.

From the paneled double door on the centrally located main entrance under the front porch, there is a small vestibule that opens into two parlors on either side. Both have a large fireplace and original mantel. A finely molded chair rail runs around both rooms. In the kitchen wing there is some exposed brick from the original construction.

The main entrance of the connector section, at the east porch, has sidelights. It opens onto a hallway that leads from the front to the rear of the house. An old doorway (now closed) between the hyphen and the original house in the rear has an old board-and-batten door with a carved Greek key lintel. The oldest rooms here have the original hearth and bake oven. An iron kettle with firebox is built into the chimney. The north room appears to have been used as a smokechamber due to its smudged plaster.

The barn, considered a contributing resource to the National Register listing. is located just to the north of the house. It is a frame structure, now secured with vertical wood strips, with metal roof built into the western slope. It has a newer one-story shed-roofed addition. There is a root cellar on the southwest corner. The greenhouse and flower shop, operated by the owners of the house, is close to Route 23 at the southeast corner of the lot. As it is of modern construction it is not considered contributing.

History
A late 19th-century account dated the construction of the first house on the site to 1685, when the English granted full manorial rights to the van Rensselaer family, rights they had originally exercised as patroons under Dutch colonial rule. Later research suggests that date is thirty years too early and that the original house, whose stones still show at the rear, was built in 1715 by Samuel ten Broeck and his wife Catherine van Rensselaer, whose father had inherited the Claverack portion of the manor. It was used to collect rents and manage other tenant affairs. The family divided their time between Claverack and Albany.

The family remained resident there for the rest of the century. Sometime after the Revolution, as the semi-feudal land ownership arrangements left over from the colonial era were giving way to relationships more compatible with democracy, it became the residence of members of another locally prominent family, the Mesicks. The patroonship abolished, they lived there as leaseholders until apparently purchasing the property in the 1810s. A Mesick descendant still owns the house.

In 1790 a frame house was built in the front. Its steeply pitched roof still survives as the front facade. It is very similar to Flemish-style houses built further south in New York and New Jersey, lacking only the flaring of the roof over the porch. Around that time a hyphen was built to connect the two.

The barn was built around 1825. In the early 20th century expansions to both the hyphen and the older house created the second story and put the house into its present form. As a result, one contemporary local historian disparaged the house as a "growth", with no remaining architectural unity.

"An ambitious lawyer, a desperate father, they had no reason to meet, until today,"
Changing Lanes explores theme of decency and mankind's ability to be cruel.

It starts with Gipson missing his custody hearing and a crucial file in Banek's court case being lost in the accident, later being found by Gipson. From these two unfortunate events spawn a whole array of mean tricks and downright devilish crimes.
Changing Lanes is currently available to watch and stream, download, buy on demand at Amazon Prime, Starz, Amazon, Vudu, Google Play, FandangoNow, iTunes, YouTube VOD online.

UPDATE: Nov. 13, 2018, 11:04 a.m. EST Updated to include White House statement on lawsuit.
CNN is taking their fight with President Donald Trump to court.
The network announced Tuesday morning they've filed a lawsuit against Trump and members of his administration. The suit claiming the White House's suspension of reporter Jim Acosta's press pass violated First and Fifth Amendment rights (freedom of the press and right to due process, respectively) as well as Violations of the Administrative Procedure Act.
The lawsuit also seeks to prevent revoking of press privileges from happening in the future.
A total of six individuals and the U.S. Secret Service are named in the lawsuit: President Trump, Chief of Staff John Kelly, Press Secretary (and sharer of altered video) Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Bill Shine, Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy, and John Doe, the currently unidentified Secret Service officer who took Acosta's press pass.
CNN sent a letter to the White House on Friday asking for his reinstatement and said Tuesday they're also seeking a preliminary injunction to allow Acosta back on his beat.
In the complaint, which you can read in full here, CNN notes Trump's ongoing battle with the press, the infamous November 7 press conference, and even Sanders' sharing of a video showing an altered interaction between Acosta and a White House aide who tried to take a microphone from Acosta.
Calling Acosta's banning, "an unabashed attempt to censor the press and exclude reporters from the White House who challenge and dispute the President's point of view," CNN also used Trump's own words to make the case against him.
The President has actively criticized and discredited any journalist or media outlet he believes might report something he considers negative. As the President explained to Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes: "You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you."
CNN president Jeff Zucker, who hasn't been shy about defending his network against Trump, sent a note to staff in which he said he defended the decision to sue, saying, "we will always stand up for our rights. That is why we have filed suit."
Trump has yet to respond; he's spent much of Tuesday morning ranting on Twitter against French president Emmanuel Macron for what appeared to be Macron's criticism of Trump during an Armistice Day speech.
Bringing this whole thing full circle, CNN is using super-lawyer Ted Olson as part of the legal team. Olson was an attorney for George W. Bush in the Bush v. Gore case surrounding the recount of votes in Florida from the 2000 election and reportedly declined a position in the Trump White House.
Meanwhile, the White House Correspondents Association has issued a statement in which they give CNN and Acosta their full support.
Later Tuesday morning, Sanders released a statement that claimed Acosta, "physically refused to surrender a White House microphone to an intern, so that other reporters might ask their questions." It's a notable quote because Sanders appears to have backtracked from her previous claims in which she accused Acosta of "physically placing his hands" on the White House aide.
Sanders also called the lawsuit "grandstanding" and said they "will vigorously defend against this lawsuit."
This is a developing story...

Did umpiring error help England win World Cup?

'It is unfair to look at one decision, one ball out of 600-plus on the day and say that was the reason one team won and one team lost.'

The author's lounge at the NCPA in south Mumbai is abuzz with chatter. The NCPA is the venue for the TATA Literature Live! The Mumbai Litfest. A few authors are giving interviews while others are chatting away before their next session is due.
In the far-right corner of the room is Simon Taufel, simply dressed in a collared T-shirt and a pair of jeans, doing a photo-op. A video interview has just concluded; now they want him to smile and pose with placards. He obliges. This goes on for a good two-three minutes, while humouring those around.
The session concludes, to his relief and those of the PR. Standing a few feet away, he looks at me, and mimes wiping sweat from his brow. Taufel has had a long day. Asked if he needs a break, he answers in the negative, ready to take on another round of questions.
Subjects ranging from technology in cricket, to his toughest assignments, to women officials, and even the 2019 ICC World Cup final faux pas, Taufel patiently replies to everything thrown at him. He even recites numbers one to six in Hindi, leaving one gob-smacked!
Taufel has quite the impressive CV and made umpiring look cool. Before this soft-spoken Aussie came along, the officiating whites were mostly worn by older men -- Dickie Bird, David Shepherd, Darrell Hair, Daryl Harper, Steve Bucknor.
One would have brushed off the likelihood of a man in his late 20s standing in and officiating matches for the seriousness of it. His international umpiring career took off in January 1999 and lasted till October 2012.
After umpiring in 74 Tests, 174 ODIs and 34 T20Is, looking back, the 47 year old reveals the inception of his massively successful career was all but a sheer stroke of fate.
A five-time ICC Umpire of Year, Taufel has just published his first book, Finding the Gaps (Pan Macmillan India).
"It is nice to be back in India, connecting back with the cricketing public, and enjoy your passion for the game," the affable Aussie tells Norma Godinho/Rediff.com.

How and when did your umpiring career take off? What drove you to stop playing and take up umpiring?
I played senior cricket on Saturday afternoon and I'd either umpire or play indoor cricket on a Tuesday and a Thursday night. So, cricket was part of my growing up in secondary school.
We went to school across the road from the North Sydney Oval, which was the home ground for the North Sydney Bears. Trevor Chappell was our club coach for North Sydney and I went as far as captaining the first XI for my high school team, the college team that I played for.
I remember finishing playing my grade cricket as an 18 year old with the Mosman Cricket Club where Gary Sobers was our coach. So that was really a big thrill.
When I couldn't play anymore because of a back injury, I was just lucky to get introduced to umpiring through a friend who was doing a course and he dragged me along.
He failed the umpiring course and I passed! So, I thought I'd give it a go. Here we are and I'm the accidental umpire!
I started my career in 1991-1992 and I am still umpiring in my local association, the Highlands District Cricket Association. I did a game at the Bradman Oval two weeks ago, by myself doing both ends! It's hard work! There are parts of it I enjoy, but I think it's time someone else to have a go.
You were ICC Umpire of the Year 5 times. Did you always aspire to be No 1?
That is one of my main messages in my book. It's not about the outcome, it's about the process. It's about building foundation skills of resilience, preparation.
We looked at attitude, we looked at team work, we looked at leadership, we looked at cultural excellence, we looked at managing conflict, building relationships, building trust, working in a professional environment, building professional, working relationships.
If you get all those processes right and you get your decisions right, because decisions are a product of all that hard work.
My message to readers, to young people and to all people, is to focus on the process. Because when you don't achieve a good game or you don't have a good project, what you do is you go back to the process and say 'Where did we go wrong'.
So why not focus on the process, all that stuff that goes into performing well. At the end of the day, in the case of those awards, someone votes, and that is 'uncontrollable'. I don't focus on the uncontrollable, I focus on the process. And if they don't vote for me, that's ok, and if they vote for me that is ok too.

Personally, what did you do to become better at your job?
I worked very hard, every day.
Even if I wasn't umpiring, I'd do some revision of laws, I'd so some study of playing conditions, I'd work on my fitness, I'd work on my diet. I'd also then work on some umpiring skills or I'd work on my eye skills. I would do 30 minutes of eye gym every day, strengthening my eye muscles. Just work on my personal skills.
And I had lots of coaches. I had lots of people that helped me. What is really important for people to understand is you never achieve success on your own.
It is because lots of people help you, lots of people challenge you. And when you are down they are there for you and when you succeed you should be sharing your success with them.
So, I was very lucky to have a lot of good people around me, both from an umpiring perspective and also my family.
What in your opinion are the qualities of a good umpire?
Firstly. I'd ask you to be yourself.
Being genuine, being authentic, being just who you are. Not trying to be someone else is really important.
Stay true to yourself and act according to your values and beliefs in who you are.
To be a good umpire, you have to be a good person. Authenticity, being genuine and honest is number 1.
Number 2 would be to have some courage, to have the courage to say 'No' to things that are inconsistent with your goals or to say 'No' to things that distract you from what is important.
So courage is really important.
From an umpiring perspective, consistency is really important. People want you to deliver consistent, high, performance all the time, and so we get back to those elements of character, courage, consistency.

After the 2019 ICC World Cup final it was you who pointed the blunder made by Umpires Murray Erasmus and Kumar Dharamasena which saw England edge past New Zealand on boundary count to win the title after a tied Super Over. (England should have been awarded five runs -- instead of six -- when a throw from Martin Guptill from deep midwicket struck Ben Stokes's bat and deflected behind the wickets for a boundary.)
How much blame can we rest on the duo for that mistake?
What a great game of cricket that was, two ties on one day.
I think it is unfair to look at one decision, one ball out of 600-plus on the day and say that was the reason one team won and one team lost.
It is fair to say that the umpires had a good game, it is fair to say that no one deserved to lose that match.
If we single out one incident and say that was the defining moment, that is not right.
When I clarify how many runs should have been scored, I wasn't trying to point a finger at the umpire or trying to highlight a mistake, I was simply clarifying how many runs should have been scored off that delivery so that we educate the public on the laws of the game.
Now, what we should be doing is celebrate how magnificent New Zealand were in defeat,
What a great game of cricket that was. Every ball is important and the umpires make lots of decisions on every ball -- back foot, front foot, waist-high full toss, where did it hit, where was it going, how many runs were scored, etc, etc.
So, I think hopefully, people connect with how difficult umpiring is and how much we need to know and that we make so many decisions off every ball.
There is so much technology in the game today. Do you think technology makes umpires less relevant? Does it make them feel powerless?
I don't think the umpires feel powerless because they are still required to make a decision when there is an appeal.
There are some decisions where they don't, such as the referrals. If there is a close run-out or a stumping, they'll refer that to the third umpire. But with the DRS and the soft-signal system, I think it is really good that the umpires still have to make decisions because that's their job.
And I'd like to see that continue -- umpires encouraged to make decisions, that they don't send everything upstairs to the third umpire because that's why we do what we do.
We work many, many, years through the pathway, making lots of decisions, learning and honing our craft.
And it is that, it is a craft, it is not a science. It is the art of cricket, the craft of cricket.
We need to be careful not to turn our game into a science.
So where do we draw a line? How do we maintain that balance between technology and human in cricket?
That is the beauty. We have to deliver what the game expects.
Some people think we should be using more technology, some people think we should be using less technology. There is no right answer. The answer is somewhere in between.
What I would like to see is that the game is continued to be played by humans, officiated by humans and enjoyed by humans.

UEFA Women's EURO - Germany's Silvia Neid looks to sign off with gold - News
Germany's Silvia Neid looks to sign off with gold
Friday 19 August 2016 by Chris Jung
Silvia Neid has won it all as a player and coach ... nearly. Only an Olympic gold has eluded her – on Friday she can end that wait in her final game as Germany coach.

The most successful female coach of all time will end her 11-year spell as Germany boss after the women's Olympic final on Friday. UEFA.com takes this opportunity to look back on the stellar career of Silvia Neid.
Success as a player
Neid celebrated seven German championships and six German Cups in her playing days. When the German women's national team was first introduced in 1982, she was involved from the off. In 1989 she led them to European Championship glory, beating Norway 4-1 in the final. "Winning the European Championship was a pivotal moment for women's football in Germany," Neid later acknowledged.
This was followed by EURO titles in 1991 and again in 1995 – a year they were also runners-up at the FIFA Women's World Cup. Only a world title and an Olympic gold medal eluded Neid in her 111 international appearances. She scored 48 goals.
Success as a coach
As Tina Theune's assistant, Neid contributed to a further three European titles, as well as glory at the 2003 World Cup. On top of that were EURO and world titles with the U19s.
Neid took over as head coach of the national team on 1 July 2005 and was an immediate success, retaining Germany's title at the 2007 World Cup in China. "That was such a huge celebration for German football," she said. "I knew that even Brazil couldn't stop us." Then came bronze at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, as well European titles in 2009 and 2013.
Neid has collected plenty of individual accolades in her career, notably the Federal Cross of Merit (2007) and the Order of Merit of the Federal States of North Rhine-Westphalia (2011) and Baden-Württemberg (2013).
In 2010 and 2013 she was named FIFA World Coach of the Year for Women's Football. "I'm standing here alone, even though so many people have played their part," she said after receiving one of those accolades. "I'm delighted with this award, but I see it as recognition for women's football in Germany as a whole."

Looking back … and to the future
"When I think about it, it's a strange feeling," said Neid. "Thirty-four years! Thirty-four years as player, assistant and head coach. It's wonderful that I've been able to experience it all and I am proud of that, but now I am setting up a scouting department for women's football at the DFB [German Football Association]. You need to be able to realise when it's the right time to stop, and I want a new challenge."
The ultimate challenge is still to come, with Sweden standing between her and a first Olympic gold medal. Friday's final will be the last time Germany take to the pitch under Neid's management – victory would be the perfect way to crown a glittering career.
