Today's Birthday 26/6

Today's Birthday, June 26: French basketballer Rudy Gobert (1992 - )
Rudy Gobert's foolish prank sensationally backfired when he became the first NBA player to test positive for coronavirus.
The Utah Jazz All-Star touched every microphone and recorder at the end of a press conference on March 9.
Three days later the Frenchman returned a positive COVID-19 test, prompting the last-minute cancellation of the Jazz's match with the Oklahoma City Thunder and suspension of the 2019-20 NBA season.
After his diagnosis, Gobert was scorned for his behaviour and publicly apologised.
"I have gone through so many emotions since learning of my diagnosis ... mostly fear, anxiety, and embarrassment," he wrote on Instagram.
"At the time, I had no idea I was even infected. I was careless and make no excuse. I hope my story serves as a warning and causes everyone to take this seriously."
Despite his contrition, the incident could follow Gobert into the locker room when the Jazz return to training ahead of the season resuming in late July.
There have been widespread reports of a possible rift developing between him and young star Donovan Mitchell, who tested positive shortly after Gobert.
Rudy Gobert-Bourgarel was born in the commune of Saint-Quentin in northern France in 1992.
As the son of French basketball representative Rudy Bourgarel, Gobert grew up playing for his local club and then joined Cholet Basket's junior program.
He spent three seasons with the French League side before declaring for the 2013 NBA Draft and being selected by the Denver Nuggets with the 27th overall pick.
However, a draft-night trade saw him land at the Jazz.
A raw prospect, the 216cm tall centre was nursed into NBA life in his rookie year before becoming a regular starter in his second season.
The gangly shot-blocker has since developed a reputation as one of the league's best interior defenders and earned NBA Defensive Player of the Year honours in 2018 and 2019.
But Gobert found himself snubbed for NBA All-Star selection, breaking down in tears after being overlooked last season before finally being picked for this year's exhibition match.

Connor Bunnaman Told 'Be Ready' for Playoffs
Bunnaman Heading to Voorhees Sunday to Prepare for NHL Playoffs
By: Mike Ianniello
When the hockey season officially paused due to the COVID-19 outbreak on March 12, Connor Bunnaman was on the Philadelphia Flyers roster and in Florida getting ready to play against the Tampa Bay Lightning later that night.
The second-year forward played 21 games for the Philadelphia Flyers after initially exceeding expectations and making the team out of training camp and making his NHL debut on October 4 in Prague against the Chicago Blackhawks. Despite finishing second on the Phantoms during the 2018-19 season with 19 goals during his rookie year, the 2016 fourth round pick was expected to start the season in the American Hockey League, even by his own admission.
"No, I didn't really think I was going to make it out of camp," Bunnaman said in an interview on Friday. "Obviously through the summer I saw myself improving through my power skater and my training but going into camp I was just trying to let them see me and that I improved and maybe go to the A and get called up if a guy gets injured. Through camp I was really good and I was playing really well and once cuts started to get made and I was making it through two or three cuts, in the back of mind I thought maybe I can really do this thing. Then we went to Prague and I found out I made it and I was fired up."
After starting the year with the Flyers, and playing four games in the NHL to start the season, Bunnaman was loaned to Lehigh Valley on October 18. He missed 13 games in November with an ankle injury that really slowed down his season and even caused him to struggle at times during his time with Lehigh Valley, which opened the door for other prospects to get a chance with the Flyers. Overall, the Phantoms had 15 players take the ice for both Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia this year, including six making their NHL debuts.
Once Bunnaman eventually got healthy and found his game again, he earned another call-up to the Flyers on January 12 after notching points in four consecutive games, including goals in three straight for the Phantoms. Bunnaman scored his first NHL goal the next night against the Boston Bruins. The Flyers were happy to keep going back to Bunnaman and knew they could trust him in the lineup every night.
"Conner seems to understand his role when he's called up to the Flyers," Philadelphia's Assistant General Manager, Brent Flahr said. "He's a big body, he's versatile, he can play center and wing, and he can be trusted on the ice in a lot of situations. He's a kid that is still learning every day, the overall pace of his play is improving, and he brings a positive attitude every time he comes to the rink."
With the season now being suspended for more than three months, Bunnaman has spent the pause trying to stay in shape the best he's could, even getting creative by lifting with 35-40 pound buckets of water his dad brought home from work. Recently he has been able to get back on the ice and knows he will likely be in the mix once again when the season resumes.
"Recently we have this mini ice in Guelph that's basically the size of a neutral zone, it's mostly for goalies but guys will go out and work on their hands and stuff. My power skater in Toronto just opened up so I've been skating with her. I've been getting on the ice probably three times, sometimes four times a week," Bunnaman said.
With the 2019-20 regular season officially finished, and the Flyers set to return to the playoffs, Bunnaman is excited for his first taste of playoff hockey and at 6-foot-1, 207 lbs., playoff hockey is typically a battle that fits Bunnaman's style of play perfectly.
"Playoff hockey is a grind," Bunnaman said. "There isn't many pretty goals, there's no 50% shifts, and everybody is going out 100% all the time. There's no 5-0 blowout games, it's all 2-1 games so my greasy play, my greasy goals fits in perfectly."
Flyers Assistant General Manager, Brent Flahr also thinks Bunnaman's size and willingness to go to the middle of the ice and use his body will be a big advantage for the style of play typically seen in the playoffs.
"As you know, playoff hockey is heavy, it's hard to get space out there, and you need to be able to get to the net. With his size and his willingness to get to the blue paint, his game should eventually translate well to playoff hockey," Flahr said.
Even if his number isn't called to be in the game lineup, the 22-year-old forward knows that just being part of the NHL playoffs at such a young age and watching the work that goes into a Stanley Cup run, will be a great learning experience and benefit him in the long run.
"It will be huge. Just learning from those guys how much you have to work hard and how much of a grind it is in the playoffs, even more than the regular season," Bunnaman said. "Just the experience of it and watching G and all those guys go through it, I'm just going to absorb as much as I can."
Bunnaman will make the drive from Guelph, Ontario down to Philadelphia on Sunday and begin skating with some of his teammates at the Flyers practice facility in Voorhees before training camps are expected to begin on July 24. The Flyers have told Bunnaman he will be one of the players on the roster when the season returns and to be ready.
"All I've got to do is be ready for whatever comes and if my name is called to be one of the guys in the lineup I've just got to be ready."

MT. LAUREL, N.J. -- When the New York Giants visit the Washington Redskins, ESPN broadcasters will have the benefit of 29 cameras trained on every nook and cranny of FedEx Field. But a few days before rolling into town for "Monday Night Football," those same analysts rely on just two angles, coming from the same cameras that shoot the coaches' film that teams across the league rely on each week.
Last Thursday in Ashburn, the Redskins introduced Bruce Allen as general manager, charged with charting a new course for the future. That same day, about 175 miles northwest, Ron Jaworski was busy preparing, too.
"Oh, did you see that? [Stephon] Heyer just got nuked right there! Look at this," he said, rewinding the video for the thousandth time. "Look out, Jason. Here it comes again."
Interesting. Love Jaws analysis and always have. I think the guy would make a great coach.


Abstract: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a serious and costly clinical problem. Specifically, receiving mechanical ventilation for over 24 hours increases the risk of VAP and is associated with high morbidity, mortality, and medical costs. Cost-effective endotracheal tubes (ETTs) that are resistant to bacterial infections could help prevent this problem. The objective of this study was to determine differences in the growth of Staphylococcus aureus on nanomodified and unmodified polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ETTs under dynamic airway conditions simulating a ventilated patient. PVC ETTs were modified to have nanometer surface features by soaking them in Rhizopus arrhisus, a fungal lipase. Twenty-four-hour experiments (supported by computational models) showed that airflow conditions within the ETT influenced both the location and the concentration of bacterial growth on the ETTs, especially within areas of tube curvature. More importantly, experiments revealed a 1.5 log reduction in the total number of S. aureus on the novel nanomodified ETTs compared with the conventional ETTs after 24 hours of airflow. This dynamic study showed that lipase etching can create nanorough surface features on PVC ETTs that suppress S. aureus growth, and thus may provide clinicians with an effective and inexpensive tool to combat VAP.

Q: Time.sleep in lambda function I was wondering how I can modify the following code to insert a time.sleep(0.5), since the GoogleTranslator API crashes if you send more than 5 request wihtin a second.
test["Label"]=test["cleanText"].apply(lambda x:GoogleTranslator(source='auto', target='en').translate(x))

Best,
Daniel

A: Not sure what the Label and cleanText contains, but can't you can move the lambda out, create a separate function that has the time.sleep and GoogleTranslator logic, then use that inside apply?

TI and SPIRIT Announce DSP Solution
HOUSTON, TX - Texas Instruments (TI) (NYSE:TXN) and TI third party, SPIRIT-DSP, announced the availability of a digital signal processor (DSP)-based solution optimized for remote data collection, as well as applications requiring a telephony co-processor or voiceband processor. The new device operates as a "tool-box" solution, delivering 14 resident algorithms in ROM and up to 40kW of RAM to customize solutions. TI's TMS320C54CST Version 2.0 (C54CST) solution is ideal for customers who are developing remote data collection applications that integrate industrial control, voice functionality or other specialized functions using the peripherals of the DSP, such as telephony signaling. For example, the DSP can be used to send data from a field location to a central location. A host processor can connect to C54CST and easily run any of the 14 resident telephony, voice or data algorithms. Additionally, the C54CST has the ability to run up to four channels as a voiceband processor, which allows device manufacturers to build small customer premises networking equipment capable of handling multiple channels of voice streams. By using a single device to run more than one channel, the customer eliminates the need for a large central piece of office equipment. The connection is made easily through the Host Port Interface (HPI) and the necessary algorithms for remote data collection, telephony and voiceband processing are included on-chip for no additional fee. "The C54CST solution addresses the growing need to quickly, cheaply and reliably integrate low-bit rate telephony connectivity to industrial products," said Mark Mattson, TMS320C5000 program manager, TI. "Manufacturers of applications such as remote data collection, voicemail, speakerphones and small office telephony gateways will be able to more easily incorporate expanded, upgradeable functionality while enjoying lower costs and power consumption." In the past, manufacturers had to use multiple devices and deal with several vendors to negotiate for various data and telephony algorithms. This was costly, time consuming and ultimately offered no assurances of proper interoperation. With the C54CST, designers have access to a single, validated source that will speed them to market and eliminate the inherent costs associated with multiple third-party licensing agreements and substantial development delays. "SPIRIT-DSP is dedicated to providing the best price/performance voice and data solution for industrial customers," said Andrew Sviridenko, founding CEO, SPIRIT-DSP. "By combining many valuable algorithms into TI's programmable low-power DSP, we provide customers with the solution that is easy to use and highly scalable." The solution can function as a chipset controlled by a host processor through AT-commands sent via the UART interface, or it can be used as a FLEX chipset, programmed to perform customer user functions that take advantage of the optimized ROM contents. The C54CST offers all 14 eXpressDSP compliant algorithms in ROM and is capable of interfacing to industry standard DAA (data access arrangement). The resident algorithms include four data, four telephony and six voice algorithms. By providing all of the algorithms with the structured, easy-to-integrate telephony framework, TI enables manufacturers to enjoy further cost reductions. Additional algorithms, not on-chip, such as G3 Fax, G.723.1, G.729AB vocoders, T.38 and others are also available from SPIRIT-DSP directly, allowing designers to increase functionality of the chip while using very little memory. The C54CST also offers code compatibility with other C5000 devices. In addition to the software, this solution integrates the POTS interface for telephony applications, two McBSPs, two timers, the UART, and an HPI. With this level of integration, there are significant savings in terms of power and size. The C54CST operates under 50 milli-Watts of power and is available today in production quantities at $7.50 per 10k unit in a 12x 12mm packaging.


On winning teams. Leaders infuse their people with crazy-positive enthusiasm about what winning will look like for the company and, more important (as it's often forgotten), for them as individuals. "Look, Acme's killing us", they might say. "Their on-time delivering makes us look like we're driving horses and buggies around here. But we can beat them by coming up with a better idea for efficiency every single day and when that happens, your life is going to change and everything is going to get better. Our company will start to grow again; …. Even though we're going to enter into a long, hard slog of change ahead, at the other end of it you'll be smarter, richer and your life will be more exciting. Clarity. Direction. Outcome. Ready, forward, change.
The issues I have raised should not be a source of disillusionment and discouragement. It is difficult to examine the problems laid out in all their stark detail. But if synagogues are to survive, we need to see where we have gone wrong so we can plan better for the future. It is not "Acme" that is killing us; we are operating in a fundamentally different world that will require a different approach to resolve the issues. Once we identify the problems, we can effectively plan how we will address them each and every day, so that our "long hard slog of change" will lead us to success and a secure future for our congregation, for Jews and for Judaism. Now that we know what has gone wrong, we are ready to formulate effective solutions.
Rabbi Kushner is not alone. There are many who have written about what is happening to our synagogues and what we can do about it. Any of them will prove my points and add the authors' own experiences to those that I will share. There are books, online resources and actual congregations who have put these kinds of practices into use and have met with great success. I hope, with the next chapters to bring together the thinking of these experts and offer some ideas of what synagogues can do to respond to the issues that are causing so much trauma in the Jewish community. For those who wish to have a deeper exploration of the issues I raise, at the end of this book I include a bibliography of others who have written on these topics.

The Meringues are a garage-y boy-girl post-punk band from Kingston, Ontario. We're not sure of Amanda Pants and Ted Evans are a real couple, but that's part of the mystery.
Their self-titled debut CD (out Friday) was recorded in (of all places) the Isabel Bader Centre, a performing arts centre at Queens University.

Schluter Ditra Heat Electrical Hook Up Specs, Already Have An Account?
Small breaks in the cable insulation can cause current leakage to ground.
As you can see in the picture below we also had a buffer zone next to the toilet. Record the insulation resistance measurement in the heating cable tests log.
An acoustic signal will sound to alert the installer in the event of damage. Slide one of the thermostat sensor wires through that slot and tuck away the other thermostat sensor wire.
They should also be at least 24 inches from the wall without overlapping or crossing the heating cable. Moisture load class according to ZDB: Set the multimeter to test for continuity.
Renting a megohmeter is your best option. If the insul fails my test then the insul is certainly bad.
Bill used a You can hold the sensor in your hand and test the resistance, the reading should be low because of the heat of your schluter ditra heat electrical hook up specs. Proper installation results in full contact between the fleece webbing and the alaridos 2018 online dating mortar.
Cables can be placed wherever heat is desired, without creating height differences in the floor. Coverage may vary with mortar consistency, angle at which the trowel is held, substrate flatness, etc.
It does not give false negatives. The megohmeter will inject V into the heating cable and test for current leakage. Also, we used metal conduit per local code.
This includes residential and commercial premises with light foot traffic residential buildings, office and administrative spaces, restaurants, hotels, conference rooms, nursing stations and patient rooms etc. For example, our buffer zone was a 6 stud spacing next to the tub.
If full coverage is not achieved, remove and reapply, making sure to verify proper mortar consistency and application. Also, perform the floor temperature sensor test for both sensors.

The resistance will vary according to the temperature i. Uncoupling The frequent fluctuations in temperature caused by a floor warming system lead to more expansion and contraction of materials in the floor assembly. Loads are transferred from the tile covering through these column-like mortar structures to the substrate.
We recommend cutting out a portion of the membrane with a utility knife and using a chisel to cut out some of the subfloor, e.
Go back over the burned thin-set with the trowel and this time make all the ridges the same direction, i.
We positioned the membrane in the center of doorways because this bathroom is adjacent to carpeted areas. But, the modified thin-set has to dry over night. This area allows for placement of excess heating cable.
Place the black megohmeter lead on the ground braid and the red megohmeter on the red cable lead. We ran our wire 3 studs from the wall and up to the blue tape of the vanity because the toe kick is indented three inches.
Self-leveling compounds are not required to encapsulate the cables, significantly reducing installation time and effort. The reason for doing this is the cold splice will interfere with the tile installation, i. In our test we got M ohms and passed the test. Uncoupling refers to the act of preventing any movement and stress that occurs in the subfloor from transferring through to the tile above, thus preventing cracked tiles and grout.
This will hold the sensor in the mat. Your insulation could fail at V, and once current flow is established, it can continue at well below V.

Q: Standard error and standard output Suppose I have this situation:
I redirected standard error of some program to the file output.err and standard output to the file output.out. When the program is run but killed before it is allowed to complete normally, I notice that the output.err file contains the expected output, but that output.out is empty even though I guarantee that the appropriate printf statements were executed.
Why is this?

A: This is because STDERR is never buffered. That means the data is written instantly no matter what. To flush the buffered data in STDOUT you can use this function:
some_write_operation_on_stdout();
fflush(stdout);

This call results in the data getting flushed from the buffer and written as if it were unbuffered. To disable buffering of STDOUT permanently you could just call this once:
setbuf(stdout, NULL);

See Why does printf not flush after the call unless a newline is in the format string? for more info.

A: That may be because the program uses a library for writing output that contains a buffer (as is typically the case for C's stdout file stream), and the output isn't actually written to the device until that buffer is flushed (which doesn't happen when you kill the program). By contrast, C's stderr is unbuffered. (Buffering can be controlled with setbuf().)


Well into the second year of The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), eligible practices are well on their way to being prepared for Stage 2 Meaningful Use incentives offered by the act. Changes have pushed the deadline for compliance to January 2014 and also have adjusted clinical quality measures and core objectives. Theses changes have made the process of attestation easier in some respects, but still place a considerable responsibility on eligible professionals to have a process in place.
While there is are significant financial benefits for practices who install certified electronic health records system. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has detailed the measures and objectives that practices will begin reporting on beginning in 2014 to qualify for the incentives.
Meaningful use of computerized ordering for imaging, labs and medications as well as generate and transmit prescriptions through the system. Practices must also incorporate test results into the system.
Record demographic information, chart vital signs for all patients and smoking status for patients 13 years old or older.
Provide patients the ability to view and manage their health information with clinical summaries for each office visit. In addition, protect electronic health information created or maintained by the Certified EHR system. Practices will also use secure email to communicate with patients in regard to their information.
Generate condition specific lists of patients for quality improvement, reduction of disparities, research as well as clinical decision support to improve care on high-priority health conditions.
Use certified EHR to identify patients who should receive reminders for follow up or preventative care and identify patient-specific education resources as well as perform reconciliation of medications.
While adhering to and reporting on core and menu objectives may seem like a daunting task. Certified electronic health systems have most of the functionality necessary for adherence incorporated into their operating systems. This simplifies the process and only requires staff to learn a new method of approach to daily functions. In the larger picture, better records will be kept, better care will be delivered, less mistakes will be made and the work day might be a little easier.
Clinical quality measures were formally core objectives, but as of 2014 will be a separate requirement for meaningful use for Stage 2 incentives. Eligible providers established in the program must report and attest one of two ways, either the Physician Quality Reporting System or the CMS Portal. For practices only reporting Medicaid, information must be provided to their state.
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act provides significant financial incentives for the meaningful use of certified electronic health records systems. As the deadline for Stage 2 incentive looms closer, so do the rewards through established incentives, increased proficiency in patient care and streamlined processes.


RO is the official address of the company recorded with the Registrar of Companies (RoC), where all government or legal communications are sent.
Companies Amendment Act of 2017 mandates companies to have an RO from the date of commencement of operations or within 30 days of its incorporation, whichever is earlier.
Prepare a draft of altered memorandum and articles of association of the company describing the new address clause.
The company is required to hold a board meeting to pass the resolution of change of RO from one state to another along with the resolution to call for Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).
Convene an EGM of shareholders and pass the special resolution by the members for a change of the company in Memorandum of Association (MoA).
The company is required to file the certified copy of the resolution passed in EGM in form MGT-14 within 30 days of the passing of the resolution, to MCA, along with the prescribed fees.
Copy of minutes of general meeting.
Certified Copy of Board Resolution.
List of creditors and/or debenture holders of the company who are entitled to claim objection to the proposed application, along with their address, nature of debt, and amount due.
Affidavit from the directors that no employee shall be retrenched because of shifting of RO from one state to another.
The application must be sent to the chief secretary and registrar of the state where the RO of the company situates, along with other relevant authority like SEBI, if the company is listed; RBI, if the company is registered under RBI; and Income tax department.
The company is also required advertise the application in two newspapers indicating that the RO of the company is proposed to be relocated to another state inviting objections – one in English language and another in Vernacular Language, 30 days prior to the hearing.
If an objection is raised by any person whose interest is likely to be affected by the proposed application, the company is required to send the copy of the objection to the Regional Director (RD) on or before the hearing.
Where no objection is received, the RD will put on orders without hearing. The RD may confirm the proposed change by passing an order with or without any modifications and/or terms and conditions.
Once the order is passed, approving the shifting of the registered office, file form INC 22 with supportive documents. Thereafter, file form INC-28 within 30 days of the order to make it effective.
Rent agreement in the name of the company for the new proposed address with utility bill as proof of premises and a no objection certificate (NOC) from the owner of premises. It is to be kept in mind that the bills should bear the name of the company along with the address that is to be used as the registered address of the company and it shall not be older than 2 months.
If a company relocates it RO within the local limits of the city or town, it can do so even without the permission of the shareholders or any other authority.
However, the company must notify the change to the registrar within the prescribed time in Form INC-22, along with other relevant documents and fee.
If a company shifts it RO outside the city limits but within the same state, a special resolution is required to be passed in the general meeting.
The company is required to send notice along with explanatory statement to the members of the company.
The resolution passed shall be filed with MCA in Form MGT-14 within 30 days of passing of the said resolution.

I want to transform my data in the above format. I tried this with groupBy min and max for column but it seems like it doesn't give me the desirable results.

A: From your expected result, it appears that each "group" is based on contiguous id values.  For this, you can use the compare-cumsum-groupby pattern, and then use agg to get the min and max values.
# Sample data.
df = pd.DataFrame(
    {'id': [1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1],
     'A': [0.0, 6.4, 27.0, 27.1, 27.4, 27.7, 30.6, 31.0, 36.6, 36.9, 37.1, 37.1, 37.3, 37.8, 38.9, 39.2, 39.3, 39.5, 39.7, 42.6, 42.6, 42.8, 44.9, 45.6, 51.0],
     'B': [6.4, 27.0, 27.1, 27.4, 27.7, 30.6, 31.0, 36.6, 36.9, 37.1, 37.1, 37.3, 37.8, 38.9, 39.2, 39.3, 39.5, 39.7, 42.6, 42.6, 42.8, 44.9, 45.6, 51.0, 51.8]}
)

# Solution.
>>> (df
     .groupby(df['id'].ne(df['id'].shift()).cumsum())
     .agg({'id': 'first', 'A': 'min', 'B': 'max'})
     .set_index('id'))
       A     B
id
1    0.0   6.4
2    6.4  30.6
1   30.6  39.7
2   39.7  42.8
1   42.8  45.6
2   45.6  51.0
1   51.0  51.8

A: It seems data are not numeric, so first change them to numeric and then use GroupBy.agg with named aggregation working in pandas 0.25+:
df[['b','c']] = df[['b','c']].astype(float)
df1 = (df.groupby('a').agg(min_b=('b','min'),
                           max_b=('b','max'),
                           min_c=('c','min'),
                           max_c=('c','max'))
                      .reset_index())
print (df1)
   a  min_b  max_b  min_c  max_c
0  1    0.0   51.0    6.4   51.8
1  2    6.4   45.6   27.0   51.0

Setup:
   a             b             c
0  1           0.0   6.400000000
1  2   6.400000000          27.0
2  2          27.0  27.100000000
3  2  27.100000000  27.400000000
4  2  27.400000000  27.700000000
...
...
...

If need each groups separately:
df[['b','c']] = df[['b','c']].astype(float)
df1 = (df.groupby(df['a'].ne(df['a'].shift()).cumsum())
         .agg(a=('a','first'),
              min_b=('b','min'),
              max_b=('b','max'),
              min_c=('c','min'),
              max_c=('c','max'))
         .reset_index(drop=True))
print (df1)
   a  min_b  max_b  min_c  max_c
0  1    0.0    0.0    6.4    6.4
1  2    6.4   27.7   27.0   30.6
2  1   30.6   39.5   31.0   39.7
3  2   39.7   42.6   42.6   42.8
4  1   42.8   44.9   44.9   45.6
5  2   45.6   45.6   51.0   51.0
6  1    0.0   51.0    6.4   51.8
7  2    6.4    6.4   30.6   30.6
8  1   30.6   30.6   39.5   39.5


Do you think our body language has changed now we spend more time looking at devices and if so, how?
I recently watched an old episode of Downton Abbey and was struck by the period body language. As we know, in the past, for etiquette and clothing reasons, people held themselves in a more 'upright' way. Of course, the world is less formal now, but the use of mobile devices has caused several body language changes.
Shoulders are more rounded and the body is looser as people look down to read texts, and walking whilst texting causes strange random ambling movements.
Eye contact has changed too. Try talking to a teenager about a personal matter and we find they're often more comfortable to have deeper conversations when walking side by side or sitting in a car where all eyes are looking straight ahead. This could well be a result of communicating via machine much of the time.
Another side effect of the use of mobiles is that people seem less 'present'. Almost as if they are constantly waiting for the phone to ping with a text or an image. I find watching couples on a first date in a restaurant where both sit there are on their phones quite sad. They could have stayed in their own homes and almost had the same experience.
Listen well. If you do, your body language will show appropriate respect.
It's true in business meetings too. I advise clients never to leave their mobiles on the table in a meeting. It's so easy to get distracted by the light flashing as a notification arrives. It's rather like when you make the effort to go to a store and the salesperson answers the phone and keeps you waiting.
It makes you feel less important than the person on the phone. Better to put all phones away and be fully present. We can always check them later.
One thing you specialise in is preparing for speeches and interviews. What are the common mistakes people make that they think are actually helping them?
Never look like you're selling. Try to look like you are the solution to a problem.
If you visited a plumber's website in the early days of the internet, it would have told you how good they were. It would probably also have told you that they're a family business, they've being going for over fifty years and show you several quotes from loyal customers saying how amazing they were.
But none of us goes to a plumber's website to find out how successful they are. We go there because water's dripping through the ceiling and we need to stop the leak. Or we go because we need a new boiler.
So if you visit a plumber's website today, it's all solution based. Their website will probably say, 'Got a leak? Click here' or 'Need a new boiler? Click here'. They are not selling. They're solving a problem.
When constructing and planning a pitch or presentation simply try to be the solution to a problem.
Before you even start to think about your speech or build a slide deck, just stop to think why you are giving it. Do you want to motivate, to inform, to get them to buy or to change their way of thinking? Ask yourself what's in it for them. Why should they care?
In the 60s a company selling lawn seed ran this advertising campaign: THE BEST LAWN SEED IN THE WORLD.
Their sales didn't go up when the commercial was running. Something was wrong. They soon realised that the audience didn't want the best lawn seed. What the audience wanted was the best lawn. So they changed their strapline to: FOR THE BEST LAWNS IN THE WORLD. And their sales shot up.
Start with a memorable hook.
An olive? Yes, an olive! It's the ridiculousness of that image that makes it work so well. That's the memorable 'hook'.
Digital body language is something that is becoming more popular as virtual meetings are becoming more commonplace. What are your tips for positive digital body language?
Sit upright so your voice sounds clearer. It's often easy to be upright when speaking but remember to stay still and upright even when listening.
Many people feel that because the microphone is a couple of feet away they have to be louder than necessary. Conference call mics are designed for the space they occupy. Rather like an in-car phone system. There's no need to lean into the mic or raise your voice. Don't shout, just try to sound human.
Try to keep eye contact with camera. You can look away to think of your answer but when you have decided what to say, come back and say it straight down the lens. And if you can add a twinkle into your eyes, you will look (and sound) much more relaxed.
Also - virtual meetings and remote teams are often spread out across the globe. How do you avoid making cultural faux pas when it comes to body language?
There are many cultural nuances in behavior. The biggest faux pas in any country is showing lack of respect. So the easiest way to make sure that we never put our foot in it when dealing with someone from another culture is to be respectful.
Don't speak over someone else. Allow them to finish.
Keep your voice respectful too. Don't be too loud.

Best books I read in 2006?
In fiction, it would have to be most of the second half of the Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian. I read six in 2006 and the last two in early January 2007, and it's a terrific body of work. Its acclaim and success need little boost from this blog, but I enjoyed and learned from the whole run. The only competition I've read in historical fiction is Dorothy Dunnett, with the Lymond and Niccolo series, plus her take on Macbeth.
Beyond the captain and his doctor, best from last year's reading: Snow, by Orhan Pamuk, the best of his novels and a look at many sides of Islam, modernity and Europe; The Death of Achilles, by Boris Akunin, a witty and subversive detective series set in late Tsarist Russia, far fewer of which have been translated into English than into German, annoyingly enough; An Equal Music, by Vikram Seth, with its insight into the minds of musicians and a virtuoso book by an absurdly talented writer; and Accelerando, by Charles Stross, head-stretching science fiction for the early 21st century.
Over in non-fiction, I would start the list with: At Canaan's Edge, by Taylor Branch, concludes his epic and riveting account of America in the era of Martin Luther King. Gripping writing, definitive research, passionate commitment, simply a great book. The other favorites from non-fiction also tend toward the long and the historical: The Fatal Shore, by Robert Hughes, a mold-breaking history of Australia's colonial period; The Prize, by Daniel Yergin, the history of the 20th century with oil as its central theme; A Writer at War, by Vasily Grossman, annotated stories from a Soviet journalist at the front lines of the Great Patriotic War; The Mission, by Dana Priest, on the militarization of American foreign policy; and The Places in Between, by Rory Stewart, a British ex-diplomat's walk through central Afghanistan in the winter after the Taliban fell.
Complete list (in order read) is below the fold. Links are to previous writing about the book or author on AFOE.


Spoilers ahead for the penultimate episode of Legacies Season 1, called "I'll Tell You a Story."
"I'll Tell You a Story" was an intense episode that revealed the truth about Malivore, saw the Saltzman twins come to magical blows, and set Hope on a path to try and rescue Landon, who had been kidnapped by his brother on the mission to release Malivore and save Landon's friends. The episode ended with a band of baddies breaking through the gates of the Salvatore School, armed to the teeth. Notably, some had crossbows set to fire a wooden stake. Bad news for the vamps!
The trailer reveals the bad guys storming the gates at the end of the penultimate episode wasn't a misdirect, and it looks like Hope, Josie, and Lizzie start out avoiding the invaders. At some point, however, the girls will be trapped in a room at gunpoint, with the armed man playing a twisted game of "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe." The screen goes black when the gunshot rings out, so we'll have to wait for the episode to air before we find out if one of the girls was shot.
It's worth pointing out that the three girls all have magical powers under normal circumstances, and they could in theory defeat the guy with the gun if those powers are somehow restored. Still, could one of them be shot?
If one of those three does get shot, my money is 100% on Hope, and not just because of the possibility that she'll become a vampire in the not-too-distant future. Legacies has been building up The Merge all season as the event that will pit the Saltzman twins against each other. If one of them is going to die, would it really be at the hands of an outsider?
We'll have to wait and see. According to the official synopsis of the finale, Hope will lead the charge to keep her friends safe from the invaders, and that won't be all that happens. MG discovers a secret about his mom, and Josie will find herself in a particularly dangerous situation. Is that on top of being held at gunpoint? Does this bring Hope and Lizzie closer together? Poor Josie.
The Season 1 finale of Legacies will air on Thursday, March 28 at 9 p.m. ET on The CW. That will be it for Legacies in the midseason lineup, but fans can take heart knowing that Legacies has already been renewed for a second season. If the finale ends on a cliffhanger, Legacies will have another season to resolve it!

Jan 28, 2008 3:22 pm Does this mean free drinks during happy hour?
WASHINGTON (AP) - Two generations of Kennedys - Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy and his son, Rep. Partrick Kennedy of Rhode Island - are endorsing fellow Democrat Barack Obama for president.
Obama's campaign said the senator planned to attend midday event at American University along with his niece, Caroline Kennedy, who announced her support for Obama over the weekend.
Robin Costello, a spokeswoman for Patrick Kennedy, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the senator and congressman probably will campaign around the country for Obama, although no concrete plans are set yet.
In a television interview Sunday, Obama would not answer questions about an endorsement from the elder Kennedy. "Any of the Democratic candidates would love to have Ted Kennedy's support. And we have certainly actively sought it," the Illinois senator said.
Edward Kennedy's endorsement was highly sought after by all the Democratic candidates. Besides his status as a liberal icon and member of the Kennedy dynasty, Kennedy boasts a broad national fundraising and political network as well.
Caroline Kennedy wrote in Saturday's New York Times that Obama could inspire Americans in the same way that her father, President John F. Kennedy, did.
Another of Sen. Kennedy's nieces, former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, issued a statement Sunday in support of Clinton.


A PhD dissertation and PhD thesis are basically the same type of work – a comprehensive writing about original research that the scholar has done and what was found during that research. The university that the student is attending and will submit the work will give them set guidelines to follow. In most cases, the guidelines define the style of the work that is not included in the formal dissertation guidelines for the acknowledgment of the work of others that was included. You should not ignore these guidelines, as they are designed to help your dissertation flow more smoothly and help you to create a paper that benefits you and your school. If you are going to get the help of a writing service, you should look for one that has experience in following these guidelines.
For both PhD dissertation papers and dissertations, much research is done in order to earn a doctoral degree. The main difference is in what type of paper it is. Doctoral dissertations are the longest, averaging about 500 pages. Postgraduate papers are about half as long, and undergraduate papers are about 60 pages long. The paper written for the doctoral degree level is assumed to be more complex, challenging, and in-depth than that of a lower degree level. Once a student has completed his or her doctoral dissertation, they will have earned the official title of PhD and the recognition that comes with such. Our company is well-versed in the needs of students at all degree levels.
For many students, the most difficult part of writing a PhD dissertation level paper is the dissertation defense. During the defense, the student must present the PhD dissertation to a committee of researchers. The committee can be made up of as many as nine researchers from varying fields, and the questions they ask the student may or may not have a direct bearing on the work. Even though many students pour an extreme amount of work into their dissertation papers, they may still expect indifference and nonchalance from the committee, who may even try to change the student's position. Because of this, many students turn to their advisors for PhD dissertation assistance, and many more also look for the help of professional writing companies like ours to help them write their papers.
While our competitors may resell or publish the PhD dissertation, despite claims that their work is unique, we never will. We pledge that all of our dissertations, theses, and dissertation proposals are completely original and created for you. Two weeks after completion of the paper, our automated system will delete all research. So you, as the paying customer, are the only person who will receive the original work. Even though the main distinction of a dissertation is the originality, our competitors have been known to plagiarize on PhD theses that have already been written and published. They then sell this stolen material as customized writing to their customers. We have done our own research to back this up. Our company placed anonymous orders with many of our PhD dissertation writing competitors, and every order we placed was found to contain plagiarized material when running through a plagiarism detection program. On top of this, the dissertation writing quality left much to be desired. Our work is original, and we guarantee that it will be unique, innovative, and done with a level of writing suiting a student of your standing. On top of this, our research will match the specifications that you send us. If it doesn't, we will rewrite it at no additional cost until you are completely satisfied.
Your PhD dissertation level paper is a collective representation of everything you have learned throughout your studies. We understand that this makes it the most important paper you will ever write, so we are very strict about adhering to our guidelines while assisting you with your paper. The prices quoted include the preparations that are needed to complete the paper, including research time, writing, consulting services, editing, questionnaires, typing, and so forth.
If you are in need of original research for your dissertation, PhD dissertation, or research proposal at any level of schooling then we have the qualified and professional service that you need.

Our staff is made up of over 150 professional writers and has the combined experience needed to write any paper on any topic for any length in any amount of time. We will never sell you a prewritten paper. All of the research, writing, data collection and analysis is done by us, and everything is guaranteed to be original and to the specifications that you provided.

In the year to January, residential property prices at a national level, fell by 3.3%.
17.4% recorded in the twelve months to January 2012.
compared with the same month of 2012.
There is a significant difference in the Dublin market with prices in the so called better areas stabilising and rising. Anecdotal evidence shows increased numbers attending viewings etc. If the banks start releasing mortgages it will all kick off again.
How many times in the next few days will we hear the phrase "the property market is stabilising"?
Yeah right, twisted sense of logic after that YoY decrease, just before the Property Tax, Water Charge, Broadcast Charge, Emigration statistics and the upcoming BTL Repossessions.
My rule of thumb in recent times is to divide the amount of times that I am told that it is not stabilising by two.
And the other favourite phrase - the rate of decrease is ameliorating.
Modest falls, with 290,000 people about to receive pay cuts I can't see too many changes this year.
The SINDO told me that prices were rising?
It's probably nearer its bottom now and eventually it will. Probably sooner than some like to think.
The CSO Exclude cash sales- how many times does this have to be repeated.
The month of February saw 188 property increases, with an average price increase of €36,597, and 2,180 decreases with an average decrease of €35,006, bringing the national average price to €201,644.
Average House Price at an all time low of €178,615.69!
Anyway, while property is on the way down it's time to introduce a speculator tax and tax all empty residential buildings and unfinished units. The lower the property price, the lower the wage demands, the more competitive the economy and the more money people have to spend.
What kind of an idiot believes high property prices are a good thing is totally beyond my understanding. It's almost s though critical thought gets switched off once you join a political party and start having to ... obey the whip. Oh.
People need to take into consideration where the property tax will end up. Between taxes rates and charges they will eventually be looking for about 3k per year from the average householder. That's like an extra three months mortgage and should be reflected in the prices offered. It is the right policy in my view as it will depress prices and help us avoid the next bubble. But don't get caught buying before the prices reflect it.
Property prices continue to tumble. We must now have gotten to the stage where it is totally uneconomic to build any new property, given the surplus in the market and the cost of building and the price you'll get. Why do we have a single homeless person in the country, given our excess of housing stock?
Good, they were over priced to begin with. This brings us one step closer to a normal housing market.

Cos they couldnt afford the property tax!
The only things going down are people's underwear in Mayo.
To be fair 3.3% in a year is hardly 'Tumbling'.
Sure there is more to go but OP a bit sensationalist.


Running on fumes. But I'd say I'm like 80% through all the tough stuff for work. The first was literally moving around all our services to different rooms, the second was training for our student workers before the start of the semester, and the last will be next week - training a new full-time staff, surviving the first week bumps, and getting back onto hiring more student workers needed.
I'm way hyped for Fri 8/31. I'm going to be doing audio while my friend, a fellow visual artist who I hugely respect, will have created all of these 3D rooms to navigate through live alongside my audio. From initial review of what we pulled together on Saturday, it definitely reminds me of Silent Hill but lower poly plus my scoring definitely takes nods from the Quake soundtrack.
ANYWAY. This track is just a dumb EBM aggrotech thing I whipped together in an hour because I have no time. Mostly features Massive since I bought their new expansions bundle. Worth it!
this is getting stuff done music nice!
