Q: how to check if user has closed the dialog by clicking on cross icon in jquery UI dialog I have two dialog boxes. User selects some value in first one and it is reflected in DOM of the page. The first dialog box is closed and another is displayed. If user clicks on the cross button in right hand top corner to close the dialog, I want to revert the changes made in previous dialog box. On OK button, I have to do some stuff by setting values. On this button, I'm closing the dialog. On close event, till now I have code to reset the form. But, if user cancels the dialog box, how I would know, how the close event was triggered i.e. from OK button or cross button ?

A: You can find that "X" button by it's class, .ui-dialog-titlebar-close, then attach a click handler to it when creating the dialog, like this:
$("#test").dialog({
    //dialog options...
}).parent().find(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close").click(function() {
    alert("Closed by title bar X, clear the other form here");
});

You can test it here.

A: You can use the beforeClose event

A: Using Model id
$('#myModalId').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {
  // Do your operation
})

Using mode class
$('.myModalClass').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {
  // Do your operation
})

Model
<div class="modal fade myModalClass" id="myModalId" role="dialog">
    // your code
</div>

read more here http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals

A: I found the solution here useful by @Vickel
close: function( event, ui ) {
//some_code();
if(event.originalEvent ){
    // triggered by clicking on dialog box X or pressing ESC
    // not triggered if a dialog button was clicked
    some_code();
}
$(this ).dialog( 'destroy' )
}

A lot can happen In One Week—a weekly article focusing on what gaming things interested or caught my attention in the past week. I will report on what happened in my world of gaming and give you a snapshot of what excited me in the gaming realm at large. How many games can you play In One Week?
In lieu of board games, I ran D&D Adventurers League during Friday Night Games as a lead up to Cornerstone TableTop Day.
I am living my gaming vicariously through podcasts.
What happened to me in gaming this week?
I am continuing my back episodes of She's a Super Geek. On my long drive home on Monday, I listened to Heroine, with guests Chris and Phil. I think Senda stole the show with her scared and crying character, Sara Lee, but Phil did an amazing job throughout–I really felt the enthusiastic albino snow goblin in everything he said, very impressive. In terms of learning the rules, I think the mechanics are too heavily structured on a single point of success or failure per chapter–which could have left a pretty anti-climatic ending. I would be really interested in hearing Senda and Emily play a rules crunchy game and show how they would transform that into a more narratively focus game.
Also on my drive home, I listened to a Lounge episode that popped up on my feed. However, there was a major snag–I did not know what Delta Green was and I could not look it up while driving. Without any introduction, I was distracted and lost much of the interview. Of course, no Tuesday night is complete without live chat with Misdirected Mark. I was a bit lost with the subject of Clocks and Fronts–I believe from Dungeon World–but I soon got swept up… in the chat. We were listening this week and we even asked questions! I have to admit, I am itching to play some Dungeon World ever since MMP talked about it.
Gaming and BS—so much better this week! I do not think I have heard Sean talk so much ever. Okay, that might be an exaggeration, but the Wisconsin boys really hit it home this week in their random fashion. This was especially surprising to me because I thought this was a limited topic. Very insightful, very helpful, almost organized. What Brett said about "negating" what the player character do with an opposed die roll was really interesting and not something I have considered before. Two games that have this mechanic–beyond what they mentioned–are all Palladium Books games and Shadowrun. Great show guys!
I recently found out that Friday Night Games might be on hiatus until April 15th when the all the spring activities start up again–and I start running a D&D program for teens. *Shudder*. However, that did not stop me from running No Foolish Matter for a few people on Friday. This is one of my favorite D&D Adventurers League modules. It is quirky, it is as long or short as you want, it has a fun use of Lair Actions, and it gives the DM a chance to act and do voices.
This video still makes me feel really happy.
Where did my money go this week?
Technically, the DMs Guild did NOT take my money this week. I expected to purchase Suits of the Mists but the launch date got pushed back two weeks.
Dice, lots of dice. You can never have enough dice! I bought these as a spare bag for public play and my D&D sessions later this year.
What did I miss this week?
We skipped my Out of the Abyss campaign on Monday because of end of month work and responsibilities. I am looking forward to ghosts and foreshadowing in Gravenhollow next week.
What excited me the most in gaming this week?
What was your gaming week like?


Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is everyone's responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families and carers has a role to play in safeguarding children. School staff are particularly important as they are in a position to identify concerns early and provide help for children to prevent concerns from escalating. All school and college staff have a responsibility to provide a safe environment in which children can learn.
Keeping Children Safe in Education (DfE, 2018) identifies schools and colleges as being an important part of the wider safeguarding system for children, their staff being in a position to identify concerns early, provide help for children, and prevent concerns from escalating. The information on these safeguarding pages is provided to support the work of schools, to keep them updated on key issues and requirements and to support with training needs to ensure they are equipped to meet the demandsd of this challenging work and engage effectively with other partners to keep children in Essex safe.


I know when Cincinnati's favorite chef is opening his next beloved restaurant.
And that's what we call a tease in television news. Stick with the rest of the story, folks, and I promise you'll get a decent payoff.
I was lucky enough to snag an invite to Freestore Foodbank and the Cincinnati Bengals' Taste of the NFL event at Paul Brown Stadium on Wednesday evening. The invite was all winemedineme's but she was out of town for the fete, and passed on her tickets to The Boyfriend, who was kind enough to let me tag along.
The Boyfriend was on a serious assignment - assessing the food and drink at the legendary fundraiser.
Not wanting to step on toes, I won't talk about the food (though how can I not give a shout out to Summer Genetti and her fabulous chocolate cake with beer brittle and black and tan ice cream?), but I will cover a bit of the "Who's Who" of the evening's scene.
Let's put aside the gawking that comes with a soiree full of beautifully tanned, manicured and surgically altered people.
Let's talk about the movers and shakers who were on the scene.
I spent a good portion of my evening with good friend and up-and-comer P.G. Sittenfeld. I love love love this man, and if I were about five years younger, I would launch a full court press on him. P.G. has a genuine heart and witty personality, and he and I enjoyed trading simultaneous barbs and dish on the local political scene and how Cincinnati's YPers play a part in the city's future.
We discussed two different social players who may someday announce they're running for Cincinnati's City Council... just who? Well, that's a story to trade over cocktails sometime.
Speaking of Council, I saw Jeff Berding walking through the crowd with one of his children. Not a surprise, as he works in the Bengals' front office. Jeff is a lovely guy, and though I am not a fan of his crusade against panhandling, I am pleased with his support of the streetcar and other efforts to support Cincinnati's business endeavors. Let's hope Council stays the course on these two important fronts.
My old professional stomping grounds, Local 12, had a healthy contingency of personalities present - sports director Brad Johansen served as emcee at the event, and reporter Jeff Hirsh and sports executive producer Kevin Barnett were in attendance, chatting with local newsmakers and the Cincinnati Bengals. It's fun to watch the people who report the news rub shoulders with the people who make the news.
P.G. and I spent some time chatting with the always lovely Lisa Maly and Joel Stone. Lisa is with the Fine Arts Fund; I've noticed this wonderful trend as of late of non-profits and non-profit employees supporting Cincinnati's other causes. I guess we non-profit employees know how hard the work can be. If you find yourself with some free time now and then, I highly suggest you explore ways you can volunteer for one of the many great organizations in town.
Also on the scene, the beautiful Myrita Craig of Freestore Foodbank and gal about town. We traded pleasantries and chatted about this Saturday's Opera Ball concert and after-party (beginning at 8 p.m., emceed by none other than American Idol's Ryan Seacrest). Do you have your tickets? This is definitely another occasion to catch up on Who's Who.
Speaking of opera, local culture vultures Beth and Thom Mariner of Express Cincinnati soaked up the scene, I am sure taking notes for a future edition of their sought after publication. I honestly don't know if there are two people who know more about Cincinnati's social scene than Beth and Thom, who are social movers and shakers in their own right.
I briefly saw Julie Raleigh, wife of Channel 9 chief meteorologist Steve Raleigh and daughter of none other than Hamilton Co. sheriff Simon Leis, across the crowd sporting a flashy outfit in the Bengals' orange and black. Julie used to be a Ben-Gal (the team's cheerleaders showed a strong presence, too) and continues to be an avid supporter of the hometown team.
Amy Tobin of Party Source teamed up with Gold Star Chili for the evening, showcasing a bite-sized, chili flavored nacho and a delicious Cincinnati chili-flavored lasagna in a cup. A gentleman in the booth dressed cheese coneys for attendees, but I couldn't force myself to eat another bite - Julie and Terry had warned me about just how much food was available at the event.
The one food vendor who literally inspired me to squeal aloud and jump up and down? None other than Dojo Gelato. Owner Michael Christner always puts a smile on my face, but I was especially bubbly after discovering the Findlay Market favorite was featuring my beloved Porkopolis - a maple flavored gelato blended with candied bacon. Trust me. If you like the combination of sweet and salty, this is your gelato.
I am so glad Michael opted to feature this flavor the first Saturday of every month. You used to have to wait until holidays - and trust me, that was sometimes a trying wait.
Just as I was leaving, I exchanged hugs with dear friend and amazing chef Renee Schuler of Eat Well Celebrations out of Newport. I am lucky to call Renee a true friend, and I am grateful she graced my previous volunteer challenge, the Junior League of Cincinnati's cookbook Cincinnati Seasoned, with her food styling talents.
On to JRdC. I know you all want to know.
Here's what I learned - direct from the horse's mouth.
Jean Robert says he plans on opening his newest restaurant venture, Jean Robert's Table, in four or five weeks. Not wanting to commit to a date, JR says he'll have a date set by the end of next week.
So, we only have a while to wait until we can again enjoy the culinary genius of Cincinnati's favorite, adopted son.
It certainly has been a long time waiting; I know I, for one, am anxious.
Thom and Vic Ciepiel of Vito's Cafe (home of the singing waiters in Fort Thomas) reminisced about the time they were double-cast as Marcello in La Boheme, but unfortunately we were too late to sample his famous onion straws.
Our buddies from Senate, Dan, Lana, and Josh, shared a drink with us between serving up mini Korean Dogs (my favorite) and heading back to the restaurant in OTR for the remainder of the evening.
I have to disagree with you on the Dojo Gelato, though. The perfect combination of sweet and salty was the Seasalt Caramel. Heaven! And you failed to mention that Summer Genetti's chocolate cake was infused with BEEF JERKY!
Thanks Myrita and Brian and all of the Freestore staff and volunteers for putting on a fabulous event!

However, Catherine Le Goupil (1507- ) is known to have married Nicolas Martel (1490- ) in St Brelade, the home parish of both of them, in 1528. The name is associated frequently with Guerdain, in the form Le Goupil dit Guerdain.

"Favor the Bold" is the 129th episode of the science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the fifth episode of the sixth season, first broadcast on October 27, 1997. This episode had Nielsen ratings of 6.0 points, which equaled about 5.9 million viewers.

Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of Deep Space Nine, a space station near the planet Bajor, guarding a wormhole that leads to the Gamma Quadrant on the opposite side of the galaxy; the Gamma Quadrant is home to a hostile empire known as the Dominion. This episode continues the narrative of the Dominion War that has extended over the first few episodes of the sixth season, during which the Dominion and their Cardassian allies have seized control of Deep Space Nine and the United Federation of Planets prepares to attempt to reconquer it. "Favor the Bold" is the first half of a two-part episode; its story is concluded in the following episode, "Sacrifice of Angels".

Plot
Captain Benjamin Sisko decides to retake Deep Space Nine in order to bolster sagging Federation morale. He plans a large force in order to do so but it will take some time to assemble. The Klingon general Martok and his first officer Worf are sent to convince the Klingon High Council to send ships to join the attack.

On Deep Space Nine, the Ferengi technician Rom is sentenced to execution for attempting to foil the Dominion's plan to destroy the minefield blocking the wormhole. The minefield is the only thing keeping Dominion reinforcements from arriving from the Gamma Quadrant. Major Kira Nerys, the Bajoran liaison officer secretly leading the resistance against Dominion occupation, pleads for mercy for Rom with Weyoun, the station's Dominion administrator, but to no avail. Kira persuades Tora Ziyal, the daughter of Cardassian commander Dukat, to ask her father to show mercy, but he too is adamant, which distresses her belief that her father was a man of peace. Security officer Odo is no help; he is seduced by an offer to return to his people, the shapeshifting Founders of the Dominion, and has lost interest in station affairs.

Cardassian officer Damar lets slip to the bartender Quark that the minefield will be eliminated in about a week. Quark passes this intelligence to Kira's resistance; and Sisko's son Jake, who remained on the station when the Dominion seized control of it, is able to sneak a message to his father alerting him to the minefield's impending destruction. Dukat tries to get his daughter to be by his side for what seems to be impending success through Damar, but it leads to Kira punching him out when Ziyal refuses. Sisko realizes he must take the station now, though his fleet is nowhere near large enough. With a fleet consisting of 600 vessels, Sisko arrives near Deep Space Nine facing a Cardassian-Dominion fleet of 1254 ships. He turns to his crew and says "There's an old saying: 'Fortune favors the bold'. I guess we're about to find out," as the operation begins.

Reception
This episode was first broadcast October 27, 1997. It Nielsen ratings of 6.0 points, which equaled about 5.9 million viewers. It was the third highest rated episode of the season.

io9 ranked "Favor the Bold " when paired with "Sacrifice of Angels", as the 88th best episodic presentation of Star Trek in a 2014 listing.

A 2015 binge-watching guide for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine by Wired recommended not skipping this essential episode.

In 2015, Geek.com recommended this episode as "essential watching" for their abbreviated Star Trek: Deep Space Nine binge-watching guide.

In 2016, The Washington Post called the Dominion war story arc possibly the "richest narrative" of the Star Trek universe.

In 2018, SyFy recommend this episode for its abbreviated watch guide for the Bajoran character Kira Nerys. They recommend it as part of sequence of seven episodes including a "Call to Arms," "A Time to Stand," "Rocks and Shoals," "Sons and Daughters," "Behind the Lines," "Favor the Bold," and "Sacrifice of Angels"; this includes from the season finale of season 5 and the first six episodes of season 6 of the show.

In 2018, CBR rated "Favor the Bold" paired with "Sacrifice of Angels" (the following episode), as the 3rd best multi-episode story arc of all Star Trek.

Q: Will I still have my website wordpress theme if I transfer my website to sites like Namecheap? I have been thinking of transfering my site, but can't understand if I will still have my wordpress theme of my website?
Please help!!


Full-coverage cobbler apron is the perfect choice for messy jobs. When down and dirty chores come calling, turn to this Cobbler Apron for complete front and back protection. Apron features a wide and easy overhead neck opening with secure side ties. Deep front pockets are ideal for holding essentials. Durable poly/cotton twill apron is available in two sizes and five fashionable colors. Machine wash and dry. Imported.
I love this style of apron, and was happy to find them. The fit is good, and the colors are fine. The fabric, however, is very stiff and non-absorbent. Using fabric that is 65% cotton and 35% polyester would much improve these aprons.
Great product, easy to put on. Would have prefered velcro side ties as my fingers are not so dexterous in tying.
Love this apron, sturdy material, not thin like most. Best of all, no annoying D-ring to adjust.
Got one for me and one for a friend.
My mother was looking for a cobbler apron. She really likes this one - the color - the fit - the material.
This is a great product, very durable and functional.
The perfect apron for use in my art studio! I own several.
Love the design for it covers parts other aprons do not.
Great design, nice material, lovely color choices & comfortable. Have purchased 2 for myself and several for gifts.
Fits perfect and covers well so nothing gets on your clothes. Thank you.
I ordered this apron for the kitchen, but realized upon receipt it could be used for crafting and gardening. I will probably order one or two more. It was a good fit and easy to put on.
very comfortable; but the ties don't stay tied very well. Will probably modify it myself with snaps.
GAVE THIS TO MY SIS AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT--RED IS DEFINITELY HER COLOR. SHE LOVES HOW EASILY IT SLIPS OVER HER HEAD AND THE TIES AT EACH SIDE MAKES A SNUG FIT SO IT DOESN'T GET CAUGHT ON ANYTHING.--GREAT ROOMY POCKETS AND, UNLIKE MOST OTHER APRONS, I LOVE HOW THE BACKSIDE IS COVERED AS WELL.
GAVE THIS TO MY SIS AS A PRESENT--SHE LOVED IT--RED IS DEFINITELY HER COLOR. VERY EASY TO SLIP OVER THE HEAD AND THE TIES MAKE IT NICE AND SNUG SO IT WON'T GET CAUGHT ON ANYTHING. SHE LOVES THE FACT THAT UNLIKE A REG APRON, IT COVERS HER NICE CLOTHES IN THE BACK AS WELL. NICE ROOMY POCKETS IN FRONT TOO.
This apron provides great coverage and the pockets are a big plus.
The problem with conventional aprons is that there is often insufficient coverage, plus they aren't very durable. This Cobbler Apron takes care of both problems - I love it!
I like it. I may buy another.
I lie it. My husband uses more then I do.
An apron is an apron.
I could never find an apron that fit me around the neck. This is perfect. Plus with the two big pockets, I can always find my glasses. I use it in the kitchen when I'm cooking, for doing crafts, cleaning, etc. It has many uses.
Well made, does what i bought it for.
These aprons are great quality, will withstand the pockets being used as trash or bottle holders but need to have brighter colors.
Bought Plus size and covers well, even without tying the sides.
This has to be the most practical style apron to use. I wanted full coverage and this apron lays comfortably across the chest unlike those with neck loops that constantly need readjusting to lay properly. Looks great, cleans great, easy off and on, should last a long time.
I bought this item for my sister, as one of her christmas gifts.
Am an older cook and the cobbler apron is wonderful to use since it simply drops over my head and provide full 3/4 frontal coverage. I bought 2 and my delighted with them. BTW, they wash beautifully and do not wrinkle! What a treat for me.
I serve on my church's funeral luncheon committee.This apron is attractive to wear yet practical to cook in.
Ordered blue: great color! Survived the washer and dryer maintaining its color and style; really did not need ironing. Fit and coverage are both good. I cook a lot and enjoy the convenience of this apron.
Durable material that should not let stains seep through to clothing.
I love this Cobbler Apron!
It covers everything but the sleeves of your shirt from soil and spills.
I ordered 2 aprons, had them shipped to my Mother's house for the Thankgiving holiday. My sisters & I knew that with 35 for dinner, there would be lots of food to prepare. We love that this style apron protects the entire area of clothing from spills. Good fabric & handy pockets!
I work at a locked mental health facility. These aprons are wonderful for keeping objects close at hand during group sessions.
Wonderful product. Clean and crisp!
I work in a Clinical laboratory and it is nice to have my arms free of tight arm bands and yet still stay compliant with health regulations. What a treat to receive you catalog and find these aprons inside it! Thank you!
Use it daily. Don't always tie, works great.
A must to have when grilling! Designed for the professional.
Washes well and springs back looking bright and new each time!

S Korea, US to expand joint drill: Defence minister
SEOUL - A joint military excercise between South Korea and the US next month has been amped up in the wake of North Korea's nuclear and missile tests, the South's defence minister said Thursday.
The annual computer-simulated "Key Resolve" exercise will involve almost triple the number of US troops previously deployed, the Yonhap news agency quoted Han Min-Goo as saying.
The US will send 15,000 soldiers, up from 3,700 last year, Han said, and South Korea will also increase its number of participants.
Key Resolve, which ran for 10 days last year, usually kicks off simultaneously with a field exercise known as Foal Eagle, another joint military drill which lasts some 50 days.
Foal Eagle is also expected to be the largest ever this year, attracting key US strategic assets such as a US airforce combat brigade, marines, a navy fleet led by an aircraft carrier and nuclear-powered submarines, Yonhap said.
North Korea regularly ratchets up hostile rhetoric at times of joint US-South Korea military exercises that spark a sharp surge in tensions on the divided peninsula.
As the double exercises began last year, North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un urged his army to prepare for war with the United States and its allies.
The reclusive state also fired two short-range ballistic missiles into the sea at the start of the exercises.
Last month, North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear test despite international condemnation and followed it with a long-range rocket launch on February 7. The launch was widely condemned as a ballistic missile test banned under UN resolutions.
The United States and South Korea have responded with a series of military muscle-flexing activities.
On Monday, the USS North Carolina attack submarine arrived at the southern port of Busan for joint training with the South Korean navy.
Four US F-22 stealth fighters were deployed to an air base near Seoul on Wednesday.
South Korea and the US are also set to begin talks this week on the possible deployment of an advanced US missile defence system, despite opposition from China.

Q: How to transfer all contacts from Gmail group to iCloud group on iPhone? On iPhone I have some contacts in Gmail group, I need these contacts to appear also on my other iPhone, which has only one group, iCloud.

A: You have two options here - you can either keep the contacts in Google Contacts and add your Google account to the other phone so they sync, or you can transfer the contacts to iCloud. If you're only using Apple devices, my recommendation would be to transfer them to iCloud, because it's simpler to manage and works well with Apple devices. If you own Windows or Android devices, keeping them in Google Contacts will allow you to access them on those devices as well.
Keep contacts in Google Account
To add your Google Account to the other phone:

*

*Open your iPhone or iPad's Settings app.

*Tap Accounts & Passwords and then Add Account and then Google.

*Enter your email and password.

*Tap Next.

*Switch "Contacts" on.

*At the top, tap Save.

*To start syncing, open your iPhone or iPad's Contacts app.

(from Google Support)
Transfer contacts to iCloud

*

*Go to Google Contacts.

*Check the box next to any contact and in the top left, click Selection Actions and then All.

*In the top left, click More actions and then Export.

*Select vCard (for iOS Contacts).

*To save your file, click Export.

(from Google Support)

*

*In Contacts on iCloud.com, click the Show Actions Menu pop-up button in the sidebar, then choose Import vCard.

*Select a vCard to import.

(from Apple Support)

A: At the end what worked for me is, I opened all groups (Gmail, iCloud, and other that I had) on my macbook. Then, I opened Contacts app on Mac. Then, I go to the group Gmail, click on one of the contacts and then just select all (CMD+A). Then I drag and drop all of these from the Gmail to iCloud (in the left sidebar there are all these groups listed, iCLoud, Gmail....). I do this for other groups as well, i.e. I transfer all of their contacts to iCloud. Then, I just delete contacts from all other groups except iCloud. And yes, in order for this mixup doesn't happen again, I just set the Default account on my iPhone to be "iCloud".

Roger Federer didn't have too much trouble in the French Open Quarter Final, beating the last French player left in the tournament, Gael Monfils, in straight sets – 7:6 (8-6 tiebreak), 6:2, 6:4.
Monfils, the great French hope to win the Roland Garros (France hasn't had a men's Champion since 1983, Yannick Noah) put up a fight in the first set, but after the second one seemed to lose interest in games he wasn't serving. The crowd's support withered as Monfils chances and apparent effort withered as well.
Federer didn't play a perfect game, far from it, but never dropped a serving game and just outplayed Monfils too many times. The Swiss was never intimidated by Monfils and the home support and after coming back from 6-5 down in the tie break and winning the first set it seemed he knew he was going to win it.
Monfils, like in all his encounters with Roger was too much on the defensive and as the game progresses starts relying more on his instincts and athleticism than actually thinking how to beat Federer. It produces some great shots and aces, but in the long run it loses games.
Federer progresses to his 20th straight Grand Slam Semi Final and awaits Robredo or Del Potro in the Semi's. With Rafael Nadal out of the way it seems like it's anybody's tournament to win, but I'm sure Federer is growing in confidence that this maybe the year he completes his own personal Grand Slam.


Many of you have heard the old adage of "Communicate… Communicate… Communicate" as a preamble by a Project Manager at a project kickoff meeting?
You sit there and try to see the significance of this statement and your role in the project. But the project manager sounded so sincere and purposeful when he/she said it that everyone nodded their head up and down and with everyone having their own interpretation. You had the feeling this project manager will ensure communications be a key component of the overall projects plan.
Wrong! The real interpretation is … I don't know what to do to create an effective communication plan to ensure our projects stakeholders remain positive and supportive. Also, I will probably not approve all of the appropriate communications resources, adequate time to perform planning, and help take away any obstacles that might pop up during the project. Not because it's a bad idea, but more like when pressure point's come up, communications will not be on top of the list.
A significant number of new projects begin with this naive understanding of communications that also reflects the high percentage of project failures (or even less than successful) masked by other reasons. I have been on project teams, as the Communications Lead, where the Project manager talked a good line…but when I submitted the communications plan, there was little support for funds, the timetable needed, access to key stakeholders or adequate communications resources.
Have you been involved in any projects where ineffective communications created roadblocks?
Two weeks before the projects baseline, I needed to finalize my planned stakeholder discovery and analysis but the Project Manager said "we didn't want to distract our project team or customers so we should bypass this communications step". Ok…now we are flying blind and the project has not even started. I shouldn't be too hard on Project Managers but sometimes it's amazing how little they appreciate the need for communications planning. The positive side of the coin, many Communications Leads are getting good at communications crisis management.
Project Communications is an end-to-end process of understanding your project and stakeholder needs and then developing and disseminating effective events to satisfy those needs. Notice I said events and not messages. Many of the communications related problems could have easily been minimized if each of the stakeholder groups is correctly identified and their communications requirements established.
One misunderstanding is the scope of what a communications event should include. The obvious is the "push" communications like newsletters, announcements, web sites, status reporting, meeting minutes…etc. But what about projects where the users of the project need to understand and accept changes.
An example could be an IT project where new features are added to existing software that impacts the end-users. The communications plan needs to address the end-user needs and carry them through the evolution of 1) awareness, 2) anticipation, 3) active role and 4) acceptance. This need would require unique communications activities designed and deployed in addition to all of the other aspects of the communications program.
What about projects with team members and stakeholders scattered over the company, country or world? Project communications can play a big part in building effective virtual teams, creating a central point for information and creating a forum where real-time collaboration is possible. With the technology we have today, there are many options that we didn't have 2-3 years ago.
What communications tools or vehicles work best for your projects?
Also, in addition to the above examples, being able to establish a good communications feedback system tied to communications metrics further expands the scope of communications. We have all been on projects where a period of time passes when a whole group of stakeholders have formed an opposition to the direction of the project…but no one had a clue regarding their feelings.
Please share any examples of how ineffective communications have caused setbacks in projects you have participated in. Also, identify a simple solution that could have been implemented to prevent this problem from happening.

Celeb Deaths Of 2019: India Lost Sushma-Jaitley, Kushal Punjabi, CCD Boss
ET Online and Agencies|
06 Jan 2020, 12:41 PM IST
The Final Goodbye
2019 has left a void in our hearts.
From Bollywood veterans and Hollywood celebrities to political stalwarts, we lost several personalities over the span of one year.
While big names like politicians Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj and fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld lost their lives after battling prolonged illnesses, others like businessman VG Siddhartha and actor Kushal Punjabi succumbed to their mental health struggles.
Here's a look at all the influential figures we bid adieu to this year, but they continue to stay in our hearts.
Kushal Punjabi
2019 ended on a sad note after news of TV star Kushal Punjabi's suicide broke. The 37-year-old actor, best known for his appearance in films like 'Lakshya', 'Andaz' and 'Kaal', was found hanging at his Mumbai residence on December 27.
The actor who was last seen in popular TV series 'Ishq Mein Marjawan' left a one-and-a-half page suicide note, specifying that nobody should be held responsible for his death. In his letter, he wrote that 50 per cent of his property should be distributed equally among his parents and sister, while the remaining 50 per cent be given to his three-year-old son Kian.
Punjabi started his career as a dancer and model. He appeared in several music videos such as 'Pehla Nasha' (remix) and DJ Aqeel's 'Kehdoon Tumhen' recreation.
Dr Shreeram Lagoo
The year saw a lot of veteran bid their final goodbyes, and one of them was veteran Marathi theatre and cinema stalwart Dr Shreeram Lagoo. The prolific character artiste, who was seen in numerous Bollywood movies, passed away after a cardiac arrest at his Pune residence on December 17 at 92.
He was a trained ENT surgeon by profession, but followed his passion for acting and theatre. He played an important role in the growth of theatre movement in Maharashtra in the post-Independence era alongside Vijay Tendulkar, Vijaya Mehta and Arvind Deshpande.
He is well-known for his roles in Marathi plays such as 'Natsamrat' and 'Himalayachi Saoli', and V Shantaram's 'Pinjra' made him popular.
In Bollywood, Lagoo essayed memorable roles in films like 'Ek Din Achanak', 'Gharonda', 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar' and 'Laawaris'. He played Gopal Krishna Gokhale in Richard Attenborough's 'Gandhi'.
Pete Frates
Remember the Ice Bucket Challenge that was a social media rage in 2014? A former college basketball player, Pete Frates, inspired the Ice Bucket Challenge campaign who was battling the neurodegenerative disease ALS. His personal struggles helped raise awareness about the rare disease and raised millions of dollars (over $200 million, worldwide) for medical research. The world lost him on December 9 at 34, seven years after his diagnosis. He was surrounded by friends and family when he breathed his last.
Gary Rhodes
Celebrity chef Gary Rhodes, who put British cuisine on the map, passed away from a head injury after collapsing in his Dubai home at the age of 59 on November 26. His family confirmed that after a nice meal with family he suddenly collapsed and died due to subdural haematoma, bleeding between the skull and brain.
The chef, who earned his first Michelin star at 26, was known to introduce the culture of gastropub to the world. He was also seen in popular international shows like 'MasterChef' and 'Hell's Kitchen'.
Shaukat Kaifi Azmi
Veteran actor Shaukat Kaifi Azmi's demise was a loss for Indian theatre and cinema. Shabana Azmi's mother, who was last seen in Shaadi Ali's 'Saathiya', passed away on November 22 in her early '90s due to age-related ailments in Mumbai.
The stage thespian, along with her husband and celebrated Urdu poet and film lyricist Kaifi Azmi, was a leading light of the Indian People's Theatre Association and the Progressive Writers Association, which were the cultural platforms of the Communist Party of India.
She was also seen in movies like 'Bazaar', 'Umrao Jaan' and Mira Nair's Oscar-nominated film 'Salaam Bombay!'.
Geetanjali
The veteran Telugu actor, Geetanjali, passed away after suffering a heart attack at the age of 72 on October 31 in Hyderabad.
She was a part of the Lakshmikant-Pyarelal production, 'Parasmani'. Several news reports suggest that she was re-christened 'Geetanjali' by the filmmaker as the Hindi movie already had 'Mani' in its title.
She also worked in various Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil films, and was known for her roles in films like 'Illalu', 'Abbayigaru Ammayigaru', 'Kaalam Marindi' and 'Sambarala Rambabu'.
Viju Khote
The entire film fraternity bid farewell to Bollywood's 'Kalia' on September 30. Veteran character-actor Viju Khote, who was best known for his role as Kalia in the Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra-starrer 'Sholay', and as Robert in 'Andaz Apna Apna' featuring Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, passed away at the age of 77 in Mumbai.
He was also a part of popular movies like 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak', 'Ventilator', and the famous 1993 TV sitcom 'Zabaan Sambhalke' that had veteran actor Pankaj Kapur, and Khote's sister, Shubha, in the cast.
Carl Ruiz
Another shock came up for the food industry when it lost celebrity chef and restaurateur Carl Ruiz at 44 on September 21. The cause of death of the owner of New York City restaurant, La Cubana, was not known.
His recipes were a part of his Cuban roots and Latin upbringing, and mostly inspired by his mother and grandmother. In an Instagram tribute, his NY restaurant wrote, "Beyond his immense culinary talent, Carl's larger-than-life personality never failed to entertain, enlighten, and uplift every person he encountered along his #Ruizing adventures. His fierce intellect and infectious humour knew no bounds. He was a mighty force of down home Cuban cuisine, and lived life to the fullest, just as he cooked-with "dancing always" as the most important ingredient."
Shyam Ramsay
Shyam Ramsay, one of the seven Ramsay Brothers who were known for cult horror films such as 'Puraani Haveli' and 'Tahkhaana', breathed his last on September 18 in Mumbai at 67.
The film-maker was considered the brain behind the banner. He directed over 30 films including 'Bandh Darwaza' and 'Veerana', and was also the creator of the popular TV series 'Zee Horror Show' that brought families together post dinners.
A lawyer and politician, the multi-faceted Arun Jaitley passed away on August 24, leaving a void in the ruling party - Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP).
He held the finance and corporate affairs Cabinet portfolios for the Modi-led government from 2014 to 2019. His poor health kept him from presenting the Union Budget 2018 and Interim Budget 2019. It was also one of the reasons why he didn't contest the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. An eloquent speaker, he had a way with words, and political foes in Parliament, and away from it. A cricket aficionado, he had also served as the Delhi District Cricket Association chief.
Mohammed Zahur Khayyam
The name that composed the epic song 'Kabhi Kabhie', featuring megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Rakhee, passed away on August 19 after prolonged illness. Music composer Mohammed Zahur Khayyam, who was fondly called Khayyam, died at 92 due to breathing problem and other age-related illnesses.
He was also known for his beautiful compositions in the 1982 film 'Umrao Jaan', starring Rekha. In 2011, he was honoured with the third highest civilian award, Padma Bhushan.
Acknowledging the struggle and hardships artists and technicians go through, Khayyam decided to inspire the young generation with his philanthropic deeds. In 2016, he donated his entire wealth (worth Rs 10 crore) through his charitable trust - Khayyam Jagjeet Kaur KPG Charitable Trust - to support budding artists.
At 79, Henry Fonda's son and Jane Fonda's younger brother, Peter, breathed his last on August 16 in Los Angeles after battling lung cancer. He died of respiratory failure, and died at home surrounded by family.
Peter came from the family of accomplished performers. But he made a name for himself after he wrote, starred and co-produced the 1969 counterculture classic 'Easy Rider'.
Vidya Sinha
The girl-next-door of the 1970s, Vidya Sinha, passed away in Mumbai at 71 after prolonged illness on August 15. She started her career young at the age of 18 as a model and actor, and made her way to people's hearts with her portrayal of the simple and working woman characters in films like 'Rajnigandha' and 'Chhoti Si Baat' opposite Amol Palekar. She was also seen in the lead role in the popular 1978 film 'Pati Patni Aur Woh', among others.
In a career spanning over four decades, the veteran actor featured in movies like 'Josh', 'Love Story', 'Bodyguard', and TV shows such as 'Kkavyanjali', 'Qubool Hai' and 'Kullfi Kumarr Bajewala'.
The first African-American woman to win a Nobel Prize for Literature, Toni Morrison, died on August 5 at the age of 88.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author is known for 'Beloved', 'Song of Solomon', 'Jazz', 'A Mercy' and 'Home'. The Swedish academy presented her with the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993.
Her first book was 'The Bluest Eye' published in 1970, which focused on a black girl who wants blue eyes like the white girls. During her career spanning six decades, she wrote 11 novels, five children's books, two plays, a song cycle and an opera.
Another stalwart of the BJP, Sushma Swaraj, passed away just 18 days before Arun Jaitley. The second woman to hold a key position after Indira Gandhi, she passed away at the age of 67 on August 6 after suffering a major heart attack.
She held the portfolio of external affairs, and was considered as the most efficient politician with her Twitter repartee winning hearts across borders. Being tech-savvy, she was prompt in solving people's problems, which made her one of the most-adored politicians of the country.
Like Jaitley, she, too, did not contest the 2019 Lok Sabha polls due to ailing health. At the end of 2016, she underwent a kidney transplant at Delhi's AIIMS hospital.
VG Siddhartha
Corporate India went into collective shock after Café Coffee Day founder VG Siddhartha was found to have committed suicide. The body of the coffee baron was found on July 31, two days before he went missing. After a massive search was launched for him, fishermen in Hoige Bazaar of Mangalore found his body by the sea shore.
Days before his disappearance, the troubled businessman left a heart-wrenching letter for his CCD family, apologising for failing as an entrepreneur and taking responsibility for all his financial burden.
Known for being camera-shy, the 60-year-old tycoon always preferred staying outside the business circles.
Sheila Dixit
Sheila Dixit, who was one of the longest-serving Chief Ministers (CM) of Delhi, passed away on July 20 at 81 after suffering a cardiac arrest. She had been suffering from ill health for a long time.
The three-time Delhi CM was also the longest-serving woman CM of any state in India. She played a key role in driving the national capital's major infrastructural projects. Known to be close to the Gandhis, she was roped in to lead the party in March before the Lok Sabha Elections.
Dutch actor Rutger Hauer, who was known for his memorable role in 1982 cult classic 'Blade Runner', passed away at 75 on July 19 in his Netherlands home.
He was also seen in movies like 'The Hitcher', 'LadyHawke' and Christopher Nolan's 'Batman Begins'.
Crazy Mohan
Mohan Rangachari, who was fondly known as Crazy Mohan, passed away on June 10 at 67 after suffering a massive heart attack.
He wrote his first play in 1976, titled 'Crazy Thieves in Paalavakkam', which earned him the name 'Crazy'. Soon after in 1979, he started his drama troupe Crazy Creations, creating over 30 plays that were staged more than 6,500 times.
He also worked in several Tamil comedies and TV serials.
India lost a shining star - Girish Karnad - on June 10 after the versatile personality died at his Bengaluru residence following multi-organ failure. The playwright, actor and director was 81 at the time of death.
A recipient of the Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan and Jnanpith Award, Karnad was one of the most important literary minds of the present era. His best works include plays 'Yayati', 'Tughlaq' and 'Naga-Mandala', which were translated from his native language Kannada to English and other Indian languages. He also contributed to Hindi cinema's parallel film movement through movies like 'Swami' and 'Nishant', and is remembered for playing Swami's stern father in 'Malgudi Days'.
In later years, Karnad was seen in commercial films such as Salman Khan's 'Ek Tha Tiger', 'Tiger Zinda Hai' and Ajay Devgn-starrer 'Shivaay'.

Veeru Devgan
The veteran action director, Veeru Devgan, passed away at 77 in Mumbai on May 27. Superstar Ajay Devgn's father was a popular action director for films like 'Roti Kapda Aur Makaan' and 'Mr Natwarlal'.
Passionate about films, he had initially wanted to become an actor but found success as a stuntman. Later, he turned to action choreography.
Devgan worked in more than 80 Bollywood films, and performed stunts for actors such as Dilip Kumar, Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna, Rajesh Khanna and Jeetendra, among others. One of his most famous action sequences was his son's introduction scene in the 1991 debut 'Phool Aur Kaante' in which Ajay arrives on two moving motorcycles.

Sean Ervine was a good enough allrounder to be capped 47 times by Zimbabwe, including five Tests with his debut coming at Lord's. He played in the 2003 World Cup but rebelled against the Zimbabwe Cricket Union and left the country in May 2004 for a new life in Australia. He subsequently made his way to England, settled with Hampshire and forged a very successful county career. After 14 years in county cricket, and two games on loan at Derbyshire, he decided to retire as the 2018 season neared its end. He had played an important role in the most successful period in Hampshire's history with seven trophies gathered during his time at the club.
A surprise pick for an understrength Zimbabwean side, Ervine made his one-day debut in the fourth match of England's tour in October 2001 at only 18. Ervine was primarily a medium-paced outswinger with a frantic whirling action and a handy lower-order batsman but as his batting stocks increased his bowling fell away. He began to show signs that he was maturing into a genuine international player with a half-century in Perth and further fifties against Bangladesh in Harare. But the second Test in Bulawayo, ruined by rain, proved to be his last. His departure epitomised the player drain which undermined Zimbabwean cricket.
Ervine made an immediate impact with Hampshire, under the captaincy of Shane Warne. He scored consistently as they finished runners-up in the Championship and hit centuries in the semi-final and final (against Warwickshire) of the 2005 C&G Cup to lead his new side to glory, although a ruptured cruciate in the last game of the season had a detrimental effect on his bowling from then on. Further trophies came in 2009, 2010 (when he also made 237 not out against Somerset in the County Championship - the highest score by a Hampshire batsman below No. 6) and a one-day double in 2012. He continued to show his ability in 2014, averaging 45.05 in the Championship as Hampshire gained promotion and made sizeable contributions as Hampshire escaped relegation in 2015 and 2016 (the latter assisted by the ECB who sent Durham down in their place). He ranked his best innings as an unbeaten 84 against Durham to win an unlikely run chase at Basingstoke in 2008.
He flirted with a return to Zimbabwe in 2009-10 when he signed for Southern Rocks where his brother Craig was a regular. His maiden first-class double hundred and a match-saving 178-run partnership with his brother in his comeback match rekindled his love for his home country and it appeared he would return for the 2011 World Cup after being named in Zimbabwe's squad. But weeks before the team departed for India Ervine re-thought his decision and pulled out, opting for the safety of a county contract rather the uncertainty that would come with returning to the country of his birth.

March Violets: A Bernie Gunther Novel (Paperback)
By Philip Kerr
(MYSTERY & CRIME FICTION)
(THRILLER 401)
THE FIRST NOVEL IN PHILIP KERR'S ACCLAIMED HISTORICAL MYSTERY SERIES
When private investigator Bernie Gunther agrees to track down some stolen jewels, his search takes him down the dangerous streets of pre-World War 2 Berlin and into the path of the most influential players in Nazi Germany…
Wisecracking cop turned private investigator Bernie Gunther specializes in missing persons, and as the Third Reich's power has grown, Bernie has become a very busy man. But as he takes on cases involving millionaire industrialists, stolen diamonds, and Hitler's most powerful cronies, Bernie finds himself mired in the brutality and corruption of a country on the brink of war.
Hard-hitting, fast-paced, and richly detailed, March Violets is noir writing at its blackest and best.
Philip Kerr was the New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Bernie Gunther novels, three of which—Field Gray, The Lady from Zagreb, and Prussian Blue—were finalists for the Edgar Award for Best Novel. Kerr also won several Shamus Awards and the British Crime Writers' Association Ellis Peters Award for Historical Crime Fiction. Just before his death in 2018, he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. As P.B. Kerr, he was the author of the much-loved young adult fantasy series Children of the Lamp.

"A richly satisfying mystery, one that evokes the noir sensibilities of Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald while breaking important new ground of its own."—Los Angeles Times

In the news this week, a Durban gardener in South Africa was allegedly swindled out of a R58 million (about £4.03 million) inheritance.
When Charlotte Davies died in 2012, it came as a surprise to her gardener that she'd bequeathed most of her estate to her neighbour, Adline Pillay, and left him only R600,000. Mrs Davies had no children or any living relatives in South Africa and her husband had died years before her. Another neighbour described her as a recluse whose only regular human contact was with her gardener, Sabelo Mdlovu.
A four year police investigation included investigating bank statements, offshore accounts and using experts to analyse handwriting. As a result, Pillay and her attorneys, Rodney Reddy and P. Ramjathan appeared in Durban Commercial Crime Court last Thursday to answer to charges including fraud, forgery, theft and money laundering.
They were arrested on the same day that the Assets Forfeiture Unit (AFU) successfully applied to attach a R5.8 million property in the upmarket suburb of La Lucia and freeze more than R2.3 million held in a Standard Bank account. The AFU alleges the property and the money are the proceeds of crime.
The deputy director of public prosecutions filed a notice of motion saying that Pillay, with the help of her attorneys, allegedly forged Mrs Davies' will so she could inherit her multi-million rand estate.
Mdlovu laid the charges against Pillay with the help of a lawyer called Zondagh, who was able to track down an old signature of Mrs Davies. A handwriting expert then alleged the 2008 signature did not match the will where Pillay was made executor of Mrs Davies' estate.
Zondagh told the Daily News in South Africa that Mdlovu had approached him in 2014 because he couldn't shake the feeling that he'd been swindled. He'd been the one to discover Mrs Davies' death, having turned up for work on15 September, 2012 and not getting any response when he knocked repeatedly on the door. Her will was discovered in a safe in the house, and Pillay and Mdlovu went to Rodney Reddy & Associates, the firm that had prepared the will. The document had been signed in 2010.
A forensic expert employed by the police analysed the signatures Mrs Davies had written in 2008 and the same time she allegedly signed the will and found it to be forged.
In this will, Pillay had been made executor and Mdlovu was to receive R600,000 to pay for his children's education. The rest of the estate went to Pillay. At the court on Thursday, Pillay, Reddy and Ramjathan were given R2,000 bail. The commercial crime court case will start on February 4.

Study: America's Wealth Not Widely Distributed One percent of the U.S. population owns approximately 40 percent of the nation's wealth. That's a distribution that most Americans don't know about, Dan Ariely of Duke University discovered in a recent study. Respondents of all demographic categories mistook Sweden's even wealth distribution for that of the United States. Host Noah Adams speaks with Ariely about his study.
Study: America's Wealth Not Widely Distributed
April 16, 20113:00 PM ET
One percent of the U.S. population owns approximately 40 percent of the nation's wealth. That's a distribution that most Americans don't know about, Dan Ariely of Duke University discovered in a recent study. Respondents of all demographic categories mistook Sweden's even wealth distribution for that of the United States. Host Noah Adams speaks with Ariely about his study.
(Soundbite of vintage filmstrip)
Unidentified Man: In order to have a proper appreciation of the American economic system, we must know how the national income is divided in America.
NOAH ADAMS, host:
What you're listening to now is an educational film reel from back in 1955, the waning days of McCarthyism, on wealth in America.
Unidentified Man: Is the distribution widespread? Or is the wealth of America concentrated in the hands of a few, as the socialists and communists say?
ADAMS: Well, as you might imagine, the statistics offered here give a rosy view of the strength of the middle class and the relatively small percentage of wealth wielded by the super-rich.
Unidentified Man: Mary, what can be learned from this graph?
"MARY": It seems that our national wealth is very widely distributed.
ADAMS: Well, not so fast, Mary. According to many estimates, just 1 percent of the U.S. population takes home almost a quarter of the nation's income, and 40 percent of its wealth.
And Dan Ariely is surprised that most people don't know that. Dan's a behavioral economist with Duke University. He recently authored a study with Harvard's Michael Norton about America's knowledge of its own wealth distribution and joins us now from his home in Durham, North Carolina.
Welcome, Dan.
Professor DAN ARIELY (Behavioral Economics, Duke University): My pleasure.
ADAMS: What were you going after with this study? What did you want to find out?
Prof. ARIELY: So the first question we're interested is what do people think is the wealth distribution in the U.S. And we basically asked them to say how much do you think of the wealth is owned by the top 20 percent, the next 20, the next 20. And what we found was that people dramatically underestimated how much wealth the wealthy have, but also dramatically overestimated how much money the poor have.
And the second question we're interested in was if you gave people the right to design the distribution of wealth in the U.S., how would it look like? You know, we often think about distribution of wealth in the question of efficiency, of the economy and what will motivate people. And we wanted to just ask if you just gave people the right to say, what would you think is a just society, how would people draw that distribution.
ADAMS: Now, you showed people three pie charts, I understand. And those charts showed the distribution of income in different countries. But you didn't give it away. You didn't tell them which countries they were looking at.
Prof. ARIELY: That's right. So - and we actually have a very equal distribution, which doesn't exist anywhere. We had the distribution of the U.S., and then we had a distribution that was based on Sweden, but we actually made it even more equal than Sweden itself. And we say, which of those would you like to live in?
ADAMS: Americans, you found, prefer Sweden, the way it looked in that pie chart.
Prof. ARIELY: Yes. So 92 percent of Americans prefer the distribution of the U.S. that is much more equal than what we have right now. But perhaps the most interesting and also most optimistic part of the study was that when we broke the sample by Republicans and Democrats, there were differences there, but they were actually quite small.
So, for example, if the average was 92 percent preferred the Swedish distribution; for Democrats, it was 93 percent; and for Republicans, it was 90 and a half percent. So there's a difference. But it seems to me that when we go kind of underline and we ask people about the true ideology, Americans are much more equal than we think and the differences between the different parties are smaller than we think.
ADAMS: Well, what about income levels of the people who were responding, looking at these pie charts, what would low-income people see and what would rich people see?
Prof. ARIELY: Similar to the Republicans and Democrats, there were differences. The wealthy basically wanted slightly more unequal distribution. The poor wanted slightly more equal distribution. But the fact is that the differences between them were, again, very, very small.
ADAMS: I've heard this speculated that if you're low income, you don't mind the wealthy people making a lot of money, having a big chunk of that pie because you're going to get there someday.
Prof. ARIELY: Yeah. So this is something that we're looking at right now, which is the question of what happens if people believe in social mobility, and we do find evidence for that. The truth is that the social mobility in the U.S. is not that high.
And so there's a question of what people believe is a social mobility and what the social mobility really is. And if people believe that social mobility is actually much higher than it really is, maybe this is what's allowing people to be much more tolerant to this income inequality without there actually being basis for it.
ADAMS: After you look at all this data, is there a mystery remaining in your mind, something you can't figure out about it?
Prof. ARIELY: Yeah. So the thing that puzzles me the most after all of this is the aversion that people have to the word taxes. So if you look at it, there are, basically, a few ways to change the distribution of inequality of wealth, taxes is one of them.
But the moment in the U.S. that you mention the word taxes, people have an incredibly aversive reaction. And that's something I'm kind of battling with, where this aversion to the word taxes comes from. I don't yet understand and I hope to understand better.
ADAMS: That's Dan Ariely, a behavioral economist with Duke University, author of the book "Predictably Irrational."
Thank you very much, sir.
Prof. ARIELY: My pleasure.
