The Cues by J. Michael McGee Pdf

The Cues finds teacher Pat Riordan settling into a new post at the local university. Having exonerated himself a year earlier as a suspect in a missing persons case, Riordan is asked by a colleague’s widow to look into her husband’s death—and so, reluctantly, Riordan once again finds himself in the fold of a who-done-it case. Teaming up with another colleague, Phil Rister, and former homicide detective Mike Finn, who has returned to the Midwest to find answers to the three-decades-old murder of his cousin, the trio follow leads connecting the old murder to the present-day death of Riordan’s colleague and a series of unsolved cases of missing women. The connections they make, which they come to call the cues, take them into the dark underbelly of the college town they thought they knew and the powerful forces behind it. Pick up a copy of The Cues, the newest addition to the Pat Riordan Mystery Series.

The Whiteboard Daily Book of Cues by Karl Eagleman Pdf

There is no such thing as a “golden cue” that works for everyone 100% of the time. Therefore, the more cues a coach has in their toolbox, the more likely they will be able to effectively communicate with their athletes. Coaches use cues—short, easy-to-remember phrases—to help athletes perform movements correctly as well as to convey useful sports psychology perspectives. Athletes commonly hear movement cues like “Crush the Can” and “Grip the Ground” along with motivational cues like “Consistency is King.” A passionate coach, lifelong athlete, and advanced degree holder in kinesiology, Karl Eagleman, creator of the popular Whiteboard Daily Instagram, has put together a valuable resource for coaches, athletes, and anyone who wants to improve their own movement. The Whiteboard Daily Book of Cues contains a comprehensive collection of illustrations drawn on a whiteboard—a medium that virtually all coaches are familiar with. It boasts the largest list of cues ever compiled, covering Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, gymnastics, kettlebell exercises, and monostructural movements (running, rowing, jumping rope, etc.). Each illustration is hand drawn in a simple, stylized way to make the cues easy to retain and to utilize during training. No two athletes are the same; we all learn in our own unique ways. By providing hundreds of cues, this book will help coaches and athletes learn a new way to understand movement for themselves and/or to communicate safe, effective movement to others.

Wall Street Journal bestseller! For anyone who wants to be heard at work, earn that overdue promotion, or win more clients, deals, and projects, the bestselling author of Captivate, Vanessa Van Edwards, shares her advanced guide to improving professional relationships through the power of cues. What makes someone charismatic? Why do some captivate a room, while others have trouble managing a small meeting? What makes some ideas spread, while other good ones fall by the wayside? If you have ever been interrupted in meetings, overlooked for career opportunities or had your ideas ignored, your cues may be the problem – and the solution. Cues – the tiny signals we send to others 24/7 through our body language, facial expressions, word choice, and vocal inflection – have a massive impact on how we, and our ideas, come across. Our cues can either enhance our message or undermine it. In this entertaining and accessible guide to the hidden language of cues, Vanessa Van Edwards teaches you how to convey power, trust, leadership, likeability, and charisma in every interaction. You’ll learn: • Which body language cues assert, “I’m a leader, and here’s why you should join me.” • Which vocal cues make you sound more confident • Which verbal cues to use in your résumé, branding, and emails to increase trust (and generate excitement about interacting with you.) • Which visual cues you are sending in your profile pictures, clothing, and professional brand. Whether you're pitching an investment, negotiating a job offer, or having a tough conversation with a colleague, cues can help you improve your relationships, express empathy, and create meaningful connections with lasting impact. This is an indispensable guide for entrepreneurs, team leaders, young professionals, and anyone who wants to be more influential.

Fish Pheromones and Related Cues by P. W. Sorensen,Brian D. Wisenden Pdf

Pheromones are chemical cues that pass between members of the same species that convey specific, adaptive information. These cues, and related chemicals whose function are less well defined, are especially important to fishes because of their aquatic environments and complex behaviors. Pheromones are also of increasing interest in both basic and applied aspects of fish biology because they can be used to manipulate fish behavior and may explain phenomena such as fishery collapse. Fish Pheromones and Related Cues provides a timely synthesis of this growing body of research in freshwater and marine species and explores everything from how these chemical signals evolved, are produced, released and then processed, and finally to potential applications in fish culture and conservation. Fish Pheromones and Related Cues opens with a useful overview on the theory of chemical communication and definitions. Chapters then progress by examining the biological importance of pheromones in inter- and intra-species communication, the role these chemical cues play in a variety biological functions from reproduction to predation, and then how they evolved and are detected and recognized by fish nervous systems. Final chapters provide valuable insight into how pheromones can be measured, how pheromonal disruption can explain effects of environmental pollution, and lastly how they pheromones are being applied in real-world efforts to culture fish species and to conserve our wild populations and control invasive species. With far-reaching economic, evolutionary and ecological implications, Fish Pheromones and Related Cues will be an essential volume for anyone working in the fields of chemical communication, fish biology, fisheries science, aquatic conservation, ecology, invasive species control, and aquaculture

Practical Cues and Social Spectacle in the Chester Plays by Matthew Sergi Pdf

Amid the crowded streets of Chester, guild players portraying biblical characters performed on colorful mobile stages hoping to draw the attention of fellow townspeople. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, these Chester plays employed flamboyant live performance to adapt biblical narratives. But the original format of these fascinating performances remains cloudy, as surviving records of these plays are sparse, and the manuscripts were only written down a generation after they stopped. Revealing a vibrant set of social practices encoded in the Chester plays, Matthew Sergi provides a new methodology for reading them and a transformative look at medieval English drama. Carefully combing through the plays, Sergi seeks out cues in the dialogues that reveal information about the original staging, design, and acting. These “practical cues,” as he calls them, have gone largely unnoticed by drama scholars, who have focused on the ideology and historical contexts of these plays, rather than the methods, mechanics, and structures of the actual performances. Drawing on his experience as an actor and director, he combines close readings of these texts with fragments of records, revealing a new way to understand how the Chester plays brought biblical narratives to spectators in the noisy streets. For Sergi, plays that once appeared only as dry religious dramas come to life as raucous participatory spectacles filled with humor, camp, and devotion.

Power Cues by Nick Morgan Pdf

Take control of your communications—before someone else does What if someone told you that your behavior was controlled by a powerful, invisible force? Most of us would be skeptical of such a claim—but it’s largely true. Our brains are constantly transmitting and receiving signals of which we are unaware. Studies show that these constant inputs drive the great majority of our decisions about what to do next—and we become conscious of the decisions only after we start acting on them. Many may find that disturbing. But the implications for leadership are profound. In this provocative yet practical book, renowned speaking coach and communication expert Nick Morgan highlights recent research that shows how humans are programmed to respond to the nonverbal cues of others—subtle gestures, sounds, and signals—that elicit emotion. He then provides a clear, useful framework of seven “power cues” that will be essential for any leader in business, the public sector, or almost any context. You’ll learn crucial skills, from measuring nonverbal signs of confidence, to the art and practice of gestures and vocal tones, to figuring out what your gut is really telling you. This concise and engaging guide will help leaders and aspiring leaders of all stripes to connect powerfully, communicate more effectively, and command influence.

Understanding Policy Attitudes: Effects of Affective Source Cues on Political Reasoning by Lenka Hrbková Pdf

Jakým způsobem si občané utvářejí politické postoje? Jak politikové ovlivňují politické postoje lidí v jejich každodenním životě? Mají postoje lidí vůči politickým stranám vliv na veřejné mínění? Autorka knihy pomocí série laboratorních experimentů zkoumala procesy formování postojů lidí k politickým tématům v souvislosti s jejich emocemi vůči politickým aktérům. Výzkum se zaměřil především na negativitu a negativní pocity účastníků vůči politickým představitelům a ukázal, že tento typ negativního vztahu ovlivňuje způsob, jak lidé přemýšlí o politických tématech. Vzhledem k tomu, že experimentální metoda je na poli české politické vědy novinkou, cílem knihy je také představit experiment jako relevantní a užitečný nástroj pro rozšíření znalostí o důležitých politických procesech a fenoménech.

Federal Rules of Evidence with Cues and Signals for Good Objections by Deanne C. Siemer Pdf

Every trial attorney has a story about “the one that got away,” the objection they should have made. Trials have a lot of moving parts, and unless you are listening for the right words, objectionable questions, answers, or evidence can be admitted in a blink of the eye. Knowing the rules and the technical bases for objections is a start. What you need after that is to understand the words and phrases that trigger an instant analysis of whether a question is objectionable. Federal Rules of Evidence with Cues and Signals for Good Objections identifies the “cues” to listen for when your opponent asks a question or the witness gives an answer. These cues are words or phrases that tell you instantly when you likely have a good objection to oral testimony. When you know the cues, you can object rapidly and successfully. This guide also provides the “signals” that support a useful objection when your opponent tries to get an exhibit admitted in evidence. Has a foundation been laid for that letter? Is it objectionable “lay opinion” when the writer of a document gives his own view of why something happened? With this guide, you won’t have to guess. The fourth edition updates the rules through 2023. It provides quick access to the details on every objection recognized under federal rules and most state rules. It sorts high-payoff objections from those of lower priority for both oral testimony and exhibits. Everything you need on objections is in one compact volume. New to this Edition: Updated rules to December 2023 Analysis of the 2023 amendments to the Federal Rules of Evidence Professors and students will benefit from: Alphabetically tabbed pages to objection topics Full text of the Federal Rules of Evidence that includes the 2023 amendments

Auditory cues for attention management by Christiane Glatz Pdf

An exhaustible supply of mental resources necessitate that we are selective for what we attend to. Attention prioritizes what ought to be processed and what ignored, allocating valuable resources to selected information at the cost of unattended information elsewhere. For this purpose it is necessary to know the conditions that help the brain decide when attention should be paid, where to and to what information. This dissertation shows how auditory cues can support the management of limited attentional resources based on auditory characteristics. Auditory cues can increase the overall alertness, orient attention to unattended information, or manage attentional resources by informing of an upcoming task-switch and, therefore, indicate when to pay attention to which task.
