What is KOPPACT?

Source: Google

KOPPACT is an acronym that stands for Kinesics, Oculesics, Paralanguage, proteomics, Chromatics, Tactics. These all are the variations of different kinds of nonverbal language.

Kinesics

Kinesics discusses different kinds of body language, gestures, postures, facial expressions, and so on. In nonverbal, there are many things like voice quality, adapters, regulators, and many which impact communication. Its say facial expressions are the most important as it takes the impression of 55% of total communication. The postures reflect people’s emotions, quality of thoughts, and personality. Research says postures reflect one’s confidence, receptivity, status to the listener. Gestures are very much related to our daily life. It supports our opinions like moving hands, giving nods, etc. It is very important to take care of the body language while you are representing yourself because it tells half of your personality.

Oculesics

Oculesics include eye contact. Proper eye contact is very important during any conversation. It not only proves your confidence level but helps you to connect with your audience. It helps to bring engagements, interest attention, and so on. It has three basic purposes to serve. Firstly it helps to get feedback. During a conversation or presentation if you look to someone you can easily understand by their eye movements what the are feeling. Secondly, it helps to indicate without uttering a word of address. For instance, if you are talking with some time and when the turn of the next person comes you just look at the person and give a signal of his/her turn. Thirdly it gives a vivid indication if you are liking a person or not. Usually, when we don’t like a person, we try to avoid eye contact.

Proxemics

Proxemics tells about spatial distance. The space distance between two people can reflect the dimension of their relationship. An intimate relation, closeness, group, or society, all can be reflected by their spatial distance. There are zones in the space language, which is called spatial distance. The intimate zone is 0’-18″, Personal Zone is 18”-4′, the social zone is 4’-12′ and the public zone is 12’- rest.

Paralanguage

Paralanguage includes the pitch and tone of the verbal message. Voice is very important because it collects the attention of the people. Not only that it carries the mood of the words, if its sarcastic, anger, happy and more. It highlights the message’s importance. It refers to how something is said, not what is said”.

Artifacts

Artifacts are the artificial things that one carries. For instance, the dressing of a person or some kind of stuff can refer to the personality of the person. It also helps to impress people, drag attention. It helps to analyze better and it also impacts the nonverbal communication.

Chronemics

It indicates a sense of timing. The beginning of the event and the end is very important. It helps to sync between verbal and nonverbal communication. During a presentation, if someone continuously checks the time, it can distract people from listening and also hamper the attention with the presentation quality. So, interval time, temporal processing, cognition all are very important.

Tactilics

It helps to judge the people and their intentions. It helps to understand the positive and negative signals. Some touch can make you feel comfortable some are not. A weak handshake, a timid tap on the shoulder, and a tight hug or slap on the back can reassure the relationship. You can’t get into someone’s territory without knowing. You should know, whom you can touch, when you can touch and how you can touch.

These languages which impact our daily conversation and make it better.

  1. C- Programming:

C-Programming is a very basic programming language to start coding.  Mostly it is taught in 1st year of your college. It can be an advantage if you have already covered this language during your schooling and then college provides you enough time to revise the topics. But if you are doing it for that first time do not worry it is still not late to get started with C programming.

 

Where should you start learning C programming:

I myself started learning C programming when I took admission in an engineering college, and this is how I started:

  • C programming tutorials on Naresh IT channel with instructor Shriniwas on Youtube.
  • C programming with Sourabh Shukla on Youtube.
  • Many practice question sites are better, to begin with.
  • Online portals like Sololearn, Geekforgeek are awesome with their educational material.

These resources really helped me, and I will be glad if you too can be helped with these.

C Programming Interview questions: 

  • Chances of mostly tricky questions to check how and what logic will you apply for the real-world problem.
  • Don’t forget to revise basic concepts and all the definitions, the inventor name, loop, if-else, pointers, strings, recursion, and application along with Tower of Hanoi problems.
  • Also, check for Interview Questions in C https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cprogramming/cprogramming_interview_questions.htm

Equality?

Even in 2022 , where everybody preaches equality , Dalits are  still considered as a lower cast and have to face discrimination from society.  But some of them have started to stand for themselves as they don’t want to let their children and family go through the humiliation that they’ve faced in past. Such is a case of Natu Parmar. Only on the basis of his cast , he wasn’t allowed to arrive on a horse at his marriage due to the fear of negative reaction from the upper castes people of his village. He decided he would not let such a thing to happen to his daughter.  He set a perfect example of women’s empowerment by making his daughter sit not on a horse but on an elephant during her wedding procession. This Friday , he made his daughter Bharti take out her pre wedding procession sitting on an elephant . The elephant was called from Ahemdabad and was decorated with beautiful vibrant colors. The animal had banners that read ‘Let the child teach’ and ‘Give rights to the daughter’. There was also a photo of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar that went on to give the message of equal rights to all irrespective of caste and gender. Parmar said, “Police permission is required to use the elephant but no police protection was taken at the event. We want to give a message to the Dalit society to not be afraid of anyone as all of us are equal and laws are there to protect us. Parmar has also protested at the collector’s office with a cow carcass while opposing the 2016 Una flogging incident. He has an NGO called Navnirman Trust which works for the cause of Dalits and the service of sick cows. The trust also has a museum to keep all the plastic consumed by cows in order to give society a strong message. Parmar has two sons aged 19 and 21 years, who like their elder sister, are pursuing a course in nursing. “The boys have got their mother’s name written in their school records instead of their father’s, to give the message of women empowerment,” said Parmar.  Bharti is currently working as a general staff nurse in Limdi General Hospital with a degree in nursing and midwifery. Bharti’s in laws are also aware of Parmar’s love for Bharti and his ways of social welfare

Movies like devdass, kai po che, 3idiots are based on interesting novels.

The month is all about equality and educating the world about the historical impact of the LGBT advocates. But why particularly June? June was chosen as the Pride month to remember the 1969 Stonewall Riots held against a police raid  that took place at a club called Stonewall Inn in New York City on June 28 claiming that the bar was running without a proper legal license. These raids were nothing but violently harassing and arresting the LGBTQ community from the few places where they really felt safe. In 1969 when homosexuality was banned in America, the NY police would frequently raid queer bars and harass the community. Similar raids that taken place for decades on gay friendly businesses. But Stonewall Inn, was the first time when the patrons fought back. All hell broke loose on June 28 when the queer community fought back and protested hard for several days. People clashed with the officers, Objects were thrown and the Riots came to be known as the Stonewall Riots. The incident changed the world forever.  And the first official Pride parade was carried out the following year. From then on , the tradition of the Pride month began. Pride parades arw carried out all across the globe , of course in India as well. June is not only a month to celebrate but also to educate the generations on the LGBTQ, their struggles and history.

THE ROLE OF STUDENTS IN REMOVING ILLITERACY.

 Students play a very important role in removing illiteracy. … This is because the students are responsible for ensuring they themselves are engaged in the learning process and in ensuring that they become enlightened to be able to help others on coming out illiteracy. In this modern age there are several ways to ensure you don’t miss out on education and end up in poverty.

Without students being available and ready to learn, teacher would be wasting their time and at the end of the day they would not have someone to teach.
It is very unfortunate some students cannot access education due to poverty or other life situations that hinder them from participating in the education process. But one thing that is important to note that for there to be eradication of illiteracy the students themselves must be willing and available to partake of this treasure. The thirst for education or for learning is what is required for one or a nation to eradicate illiteracy.
This means that even that are in poverty, they need to be willing to learn even from their counterparts that have access to education. This means that access to education is readily available in this contemporary world is readily available.
Therefore from this alone one is able to understand that students play a very important role in eradicating poverty.   
Students can play an imperative part in expelling lack of education as they have a lot of time.In summer vacations they can give several hours to instruct the uneducated people in regions or towns close to their residence. They can stir the uneducated people in living aptitudes, appropriate cleanliness, childcare, and sustenance. Additionally, they can evacuate particularly the social wrongs from the psyche of ignorant people like visually impaired faith in superstitions, religious bias, communalism and limited – mindedness.

They can educate about the significance of being illiterate.They can get to different plans of the administration for their inspiration and growth. they can render it better with the assistance of educational organizations, National Literacy Mission, NGOs and social gatherings.

A country wants to achieve the goal of 100% literacy, it will have to involve the students in the literacy programmes.

Each one teach one is a famous historical proverb that originated in America before the declaration of the Emancipation Declaration. The black people did not have privileges to education. Thus, this campaign ‘each one teach one’ was launched to educate the colored people. The few educated black people taught as many uneducated people as was possible.

HARDWORK IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS

 hard work is the key to success essay

“Focus, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. If you aren’t sure which way to do something then do it both ways and see which works better.” – John Carmack

‘Hard work is the key to success’ is a statement that has been said to us over and over again and it may be commonly used in workplaces or schools. Team leaders, managers, coaches, teachers, and parents are most likely to use the statement than other people.
We are talking about consistent and focused work, which means saying no to distractions for a long time, without expecting fast results. Be patient and believe in the process while changing your strategies and approach, and try new things while you stick to your initial vision. Success takes strategic actions in the right direction to get there and it does not happen by chance or overnight.

Hard work is the most important key to success. Achievements without hard work are impossible. An idle person can never gain anything if they sit and wait for a better opportunity to come. The person who is working hard is able to gain success and happiness in life. Nothing is easy to be achieved in life without doing any hard work.

Failures are sometimes a part of the journey to the success, but in the end of the day, it is all about how hard you have worked on the right thing and this will get you closer to your goal.

Most of the successful individuals had put in enough productive work before they received success in return. Just by working hard on what you believe in, you can understand its true value. That’s when you start to respect the work itself and when you start to learn important life lessons.

You learn to appreciate all you have, but in the meantime, you learn to be patient, to take action instead of waiting and take responsibility for anything you have or don’t have in your life.

Hard work is the key to success! #TuesdayThoughts #TuesdayMotivation #charitytuesday | Hard work beats talent, Hard work quotes, Hard quotes

Hard work helps you overcome procrastination, insecurities, fear of failure and bad habits, and it gives you a purpose.

There is nothing else that brings more results and progress on a consistent basis than the hard work. The action itself leads to more action. At any moment of the day, you are building and make sure your journey continues. When you see the results of your own work, you feel grateful, accomplished and truly satisfied with what you are doing. That makes the whole process really enjoyable and you find the strength to persevere.

Never doubt the power and necessity of hard work! Create your strategy, make your plan and take the first step towards success today. You are not gonna regret it! Work your way up!

Hard work is a great quality. All work is noble. Work is worship. Hard work is the key to success. We can progress by doing hard work. Those countries whose citizens are hard-working make great progress.

An idle person depends too much on chance. He thinks that some miracle will happen and he will become rich and prosperous. But this is not possible without hard work.

All great men of the world were very hard-working persons. By hard work, man progresses and the country progresses. Seventy years ago, Japan was a backward country. Today, Japan is one of the most prosperous countries of the world. This prosperity has been possible by means of hard work. We should all, therefore, work hard to achieve success.

Quotes: Hardwork Is The Key To Success

So the hard work, together with the time it takes, is a must on your journey to success. It makes you who you have to turn into in order to live the better life that’s awaiting for you. What’s more, the harder you work on your dream, the more confident you become.

The very first key to success is to make a plan. This means having a clear picture of what a successful life looks like to you and putting together a well-defined set of goals to get you to that life. Planning well starts with figuring out what you want and writing it down in detail.

Every one of us has goals in life. To fulfil the goals we need to be hard working. Sitting idly does not help fulfilling one’s aim. We all must respect the chance we get in life. Respecting the chance means doing hard work.

We must not fear failure. Failure is natural to our life. When we fail, we must not stop working hard. We all should believe in ourselves and keep trying hard until we achieve our aims.

We can work hard if we have the determination and focus in life. Concentration in work is very important. If one concentrates fully while doing work, the work gets finished successfully and very soon. We must work to increase our concentration level. Hard work is very much important to develop our concentration power.

To develop the sense of hard-working in children, parents or teachers should tell them the stories of successful persons of a country. The children should choose a role model for their life so to focus on their own life. This will help them study hard with interest.

 Success + Hard work = More Success! 

Four Benefits of Online Study

 With the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, the world moved online. Office workers were told to work from home, and universities and colleges in many countries closed their lecture halls, telling students to study online instead. This has led many to prefer working from home, and it’s easy to see why—there are so many benefits to remote work. The same is true for students; here are four benefits of online study.

Photo by Tima Miroshnichenko on Pexels.com

1. More Choice

One of the benefits of studying online is that students have more choice of course open to them. Whether you want to study an MBA in healthcare administration (like this one: https://online.carrollu.edu/mba-healthcare-administration/) or a bachelor’s degree in fine art or literature, there is so much choice when it comes to online study. 

Students are free to study the subject of their choice from anywhere they like, meaning there is greater accessibility as they don’t have to travel or move across the country to study a particular subject. 

2. Greater Flexibility

Another huge benefit of online study is the amount of flexibility that comes with a virtual course. Studying online means that you can study from anywhere without having to go onto campus or visit a library in person to learn. Everything is available online.

Virtual colleges are also usually more flexible in terms of timings, especially when compared with traditional in-person universities. You can learn on your own schedule rather than having to attend seminars, tutorials, or lectures that take place at pre-arranged times. This means you can fit your studies around your life and learn at a time that suits you.

3. Cheaper

Most online colleges offer better value for money than brick-and-mortar institutions, so you can save money over the course of your degree. As well as saving on tuition fees, you can save on accommodation costs and the general cost of living, as you won’t have to move or live close to campus—just stay where you are!

Another bonus is that you can fit your online studies around your existing life commitments, meaning you could find a way to balance studying and working, so you can continue to have a monthly income while you’re learning. 

4. Gaining Soft Skills

No matter what you’re studying, and whether it’s online or in-person, you’ll be gaining a huge amount of knowledge during any degree. As well as the ‘hard skills’ you’ll gain during your degree, though, you can also develop so-called ‘soft skills’—even more if you study online.

Soft skills are personal characteristics or attributes that allow you to be successful in day-to-day life and professional settings. Organization, communication, time management, adaptability, self-determination – these are all examples of the soft skills that you’ll gain while studying online. All of them will make you attractive to potential employers.

Studying online will show that you are particularly driven to succeed, as it does take a little more self-motivation to get through an online course than a traditional in-person degree program.

Once you’ve finished your online degree program, you’ll be able to show prospective employers that you have the hard and soft skills needed to succeed. It’s a great way to boost your career and get ahead in the world of work.

How to Start a Product Review Blog

 One of the greatest pleasures of being a blogger is writing product reviews. The excitement of getting packages in the mail, the thrill of finding a new product that helps my family, and the joy of making money from the comfort of my home has led to my career in professional blogging.

So how can you get started? This primer will show you how to get started as a product reviewer.

A product review blog can be an excellent way to earn extra money online. By tying your blog to an affiliate program, you can create links from your blog to the merchants who sell the products you review. If a reader clicks a link and purchases the product, you earn a commission. However, writing a high-quality review can be difficult; you want your blog to generate sales, but readers will quickly grow suspicious if every review that you publish is positive. Publish honest, high-quality reviews to foster trust with your readers, gain a following for your blog and begin earning revenue.

This article will he helpful for those who are looking for Product review blogs. These blogs will be portal for users to get to know about more products. 

Selecting Items to Review

The first thing you need to consider is your audience. Is this something that only benefits you, or would you naturally recommend this product to a friend who matches your target audience? 

You are an Influencer

Start thinking of yourself as an influencer: you can influence your audience’s behaviors and buying habits.

As your readers grow to trust you, you will naturally want to recommend things that are useful to them. If there are products, services or even destinations that you’ve already enjoyed that fit with your blog’s focus, go ahead and write a piece about them. Once you do that, you are an influencer – it’s as simple as that.

At first, you won’t get paid or get free products, but you can monetize your reviews easily.

One of the best ways to monetize your blog is with affiliate marketing.

Ad banners are a horrible way to make money online. In 2020, less than 0.1% of viewers clicked on an ad banner, and that statistic is only getting worse.

Roughly 25% of all visitors use an ad blocker. That means fewer individuals are seeing the ads on your blog.

That means less money in your pocket.

Affiliate marketing is a much better way to monetize your blog, in my opinion. Of the eight ways to make money with a blog, it is perhaps my favorite.

Creating a product review blog is an effective way to use affiliate marketing. There are three types of blog posts a product review blogger can create:

  1. Review — Detailed analysis of a product
  2. Comparison — How does a product compare to other products in the marketplace?
  3. How-To — How to use a product after purchasing

In this article, I’ll mostly cover reviews and the format you should use for them.

I can tell you from experience that creating a product review blog works very well. All of the income from my site Investor Junkie came from affiliate marketing. I sold the blog in 2018.

In fact, most of the websites that have sold for over seven figures were also product review blogs.

It turns out, as one of the final steps before buying a product, consumers seek out product reviews. What used to be found by picking up a copy of Consumer Reports magazine is now found online with Google.

With a product review blog, there’s much you must do to ensure your success. This guide will get you started as a product reviewer. It includes advice for which I normally charge a consulting fee.

1

Disclose affiliate links if your blog uses them. You can do this a single time in your blog’s “About Us” or “Privacy Policy” section. Most readers can recognize affiliate links and do not appreciate attempts to “trick” them into clicking. It is far better to earn affiliate commissions because your readers trust and want to support the continued development of your blog; readers who enjoy your work will continue to purchase through you.

2

Review products honestly. If you own the product, state this in your review because readers tend to appreciate a review that comes from firsthand experience. If you do not like the product, say so — even if you have an affiliate partnership with the manufacturer or seller. Some readers may choose to buy the product anyway. If you don’t like the product, you may still be able to point out some positive points that make it a good choice for other types of consumers.

3

Avoid reviewing products you do not own or have never used. Many blogs attempt to capitalize on affiliate partnerships by writing reviews that merely state products’ features copied from the manufacturers’ websites. Readers can tell when a review contains no firsthand experience and will usually look elsewhere for a better review.

4

Take your own pictures of the product whenever possible instead of using pictures from the manufacturer. Taking your own pictures — even if they look inferior to the manufacturer’s photos — proves that you are writing from firsthand experience.

5

Write the review using subheadings and bullet points that summarize the content and break it into easily digestible chunks. The majority of your readers will probably scan the review for high points rather than reading it thoroughly, and large blocks of text make an article difficult to digest.

6

Write a review that answers the questions potential buyers have. For example, if a product is a revised version of a company’s older product, owners of the older product will want to know if they should upgrade. Write from the reader’s point of view, and you will probably be able to think of several questions that the review should answer.

The Top Three Tools to Become a Better Teacher

 Every teacher wants to be the best teacher they can be. Teachers spend much of their own time and money researching new ways to be effective and attend a myriad of classes and PD’s (professional development meetings). If you visit a teacher in their home or look at their computer or phone chances are you will see a ton of books, podcasts and articles on their chosen craft. For those who are looking to be effective teachers here are the top three tools and techniques that all teachers can use.

  1. Take Care of Yourself

This may seem like a no brainer but all teachers need to learn not only how to disengage from teaching but what is the most effective way to take care of themselves. It is so important to take time to decompress, relax and put yourself first. For teachers it is so very important to learn different ways to decompress. Some common techniques that teachers should learn include:

  • Exercise – One often overlooked way to take care of yourself is to exercise. It seems counterintuitive to spend your time outside of the classroom working out, but lifting weights and cardio can provide endorphins that can help you think more positively.
  • Yoga – Yoga can give all of the same benefits as regular exercise with less impact. 
  • Meditation – Meditation can help you focus on the moment and release anxiety. For teachers that are always thinking about the classroom, meditation can provide a chance to detach. 

By taking care of themselves teachers can avoid ruining their immune system and burning themselves out. Being able to engage with students and the craft is imperative and teachers taking care of themselves can help. 

  1. Positive Outlook

One of the things that affects a teacher greatly is their outlook on their profession. For many teachers the thing that makes teaching hard is their own outlook on the profession. It is really easy to get stuck in a negative mindset and allow that cycle to spiral out of control. With positive outlook teachers make sure to focus on the positive in some of the following ways:

  • Focus on Student’s Strengths – It can be tempting to focus on the things that certain students aren’t doing. All that’s needed is to flip that mindset. Instead of being annoyed that someone is habitually late, focus on the things they do well in class. 
  • Start Your Day with Something Positive – Teachers who enjoy their jobs start their day with something that puts them in a good mood. For some that’s arriving ten minutes early for a cup of coffee in silence. For others that’s cranking some music before the school day starts.

A good baseline is also trying to make sure that you praise more than you correct. A 4:1 ratio is what most teachers shoot for with 5:1 being a high goal to stretch for. When the focus is constantly on the positive, that mindset soon becomes the default outlook. 

  1. Using a Curriculum Map Template

For many teachers they get stressed by coming up with lesson plans on the fly or when they feel unprepared for an upcoming unit. One of the easiest ways to take that anxiety away during the school year and to maintain a good balance of home and work life is to use a curriculum map template and plan in the summer. Making use of this tool outside the normal school year allows for:

  • Time to Reflect – When you are planning during the school year it is too hard to properly reflect on your lesson planning process. Doing it in the summer allows you to reflect and plan in peace. 
  • Plan New Content – When planning during the year teachers are often surviving, not thriving. Planning during the off season allows teachers to contemplate new ideas that they might not otherwise think of. 
  • Focus on the Big Ideas – By using a curriculum map template teachers can make sure to focus their units and plans on the big ideas that they want students to take away. 

All in all, for many teachers the summer is a time to decompress and relax but it should also be a time to reignite the passion for the craft of teaching. Coming up with new plans and ideas allows for that fire to be rekindled and helps from feeling the weight of only being one step ahead of the students. 

Value of an MBA

 

What Value Does An MBA Course Provide?

An excellent question and if you’re asking it you may already have an idea about what it is you’re looking for. A Master of Business Administration covers a lot and as a result, its benefits can be far-reaching but also difficult to detect without a guide, so let’s take a look at some of the direct and indirect consequences of studying an MBA that may lead you into taking the course.

What do you study for an MBA?

The main things that any MBA is directed towards are developing leadership skills and administrative models, two things that are critical to any business but have a wide degree of application and scope. For example, a manager may have good leadership skills but may need the help of a productivity model (such as an Agile or Waterfall model) in order to help keep all their staff on the same page. Conversely, different leadership styles are required in large companies where departments are separated and communicate through liaisons, or small companies where every department works directly with and around each other. An MBA is designed to teach you how to work over, with and around multiple styles and setups, vastly improving your ability to work at any level of administration.

However just because leadership skills and administrative models are the main focus of an MBA that does not mean it is the only thing you will learn – far from it! Other skills that are often focused on in an MBA include core subjects like business accounting, local law and public policy, organisational behaviours, communication, the latest in digital marketing theory and techniques, skills for researching the competition and even developing both long and short-term business strategies. Some MBAs also offer additional subjects analysing global trends, data management and analysis, and offer a smattering of education in matters of health and the practices of human resources. Suffice it to say, an MBA covers a lot of information, skills and techniques, and even in the modern era of books, youtube and skill-sharing, you’d be hard-pressed to learn many of these entirely on your own.

What are the Direct and Indirect Benefits of an MBA

The direct benefits are many and are pretty easy to assess for yourself. If you think you need to develop skills in leadership, administrative models, accounting, research, or any of the other items we listed previously then an MBA is already the right choice for you. But there are a large number of indirect benefits that you might want to be aware of as well.

To start with, salary. Even if you already have a secure job, adding an MBA can increase your base salary, or make you more eligible for new opportunities that arise. Recent data suggests that those who have an MBA from Australia have an average Australian MBA salary above $100k a year, and this applies just as much to men as to women – in fact in recent years the rising of women to higher paid administrative roles has been a key component in reducing the overall wage gap between men and women in the workplace. However, there are other benefits as well. Learning to be a leader and adopting productivity models rely heavily on developing and improving social skills both toward those below you, above you and among your direct peers – anyone in business can tell you are often three very different skill sets to maintain.

However one of the more interesting perks of studying an MBA is an improved skill to understand what everyone around you is doing. Every job is a skillset unto itself, but having a firm grasp of how to research other businesses, read accounting documents and relate with both internal staff and external clients can teach you as an administrator a lot about what every other part of your business is doing. Nothing helps a business more than a boss who understands the ins and outs of the business itself, and it helps even more if they have the tools to communicate or teach those skills to others. These are just some of the more indirect benefits that an MBA can provide.

What else? Is it just an increased salary, better bargaining position, a plethora of skills and an overall increase in quality? Not at all. Many of the skills needed for business are skills you can use in everyday life, but exactly which skills will help you the most could depend greatly on how you want to specialise. Fortunately, most MBAs offer specialised electives to help better direct your studies to cover exactly what you’re interested in.
