There's really no point going on about how things used to be. For one, I can't stand to think about it — even though I do, a lot, and it makes me want to throw up with sadness. For two, it kind of doesn't matter, does it? It's over. And for three, I'm not writing this because of how things used to be — I'm writing this because of what happened. So I'll start right there. This is what happened:
I was sitting in a hot tub in my underwear kissing Caspar McCloud.
Ha! That also sounds like a great beginning, maybe from some kind of kiss-fest romance, or maybe Caspar would turn out to be a sexy vampire. But the truth is — and this is the one thing I will do, for sure. I will try to tell the truth, even if it hurts me to say it, even if it shocks you to hear it (and I doubt it will, because if you're reading this you've probably had about a gazillion shocks already) — the truth is, it wouldn't be right to pretend that kissing in a hot tub was the kind of thing I usually did on a Saturday night, because it wasn't.
It soooooooooooooooooooooo wasn't. Don't get me wrong: I'd kissed boys before (two); I'd been to parties before (like, since I was five years old or something). I'd even sat in that hot tub in my underwear before (with Lee — that's Lee as in Leonie, my best friend). But that night, that party ... it was the best, the most amazing — scarily amazing — time I had ever had in my life up until that point. (Not difficult.)
That night — that one, glorious, hot Saturday night — I was becoming a new me, one who was going to have a boyfriend named Caspar and do stuff like kiss in hot tubs at wild parties all the time. Yes, from the nagging jaws of the THEY, I was about to snatch complete, amazing greatness and total brilliance. And a boyfriend.
What can I say? It happened. It really happened! Zak, who lived in this massively cool, rambling old farmhouse, and whose parents were so laid-back you could basically do whatever you liked, pulled the speakers outside the barn where we — that's me and all my lovely friends (exception to be named shortly) — had been hanging out drinking LETHAL cider punch, and a bunch of us stripped down — to our underwear — and climbed into their hot tub.
We sort of danced where we sat, doing so-slick-yeah-check-it mini arm moves. It was totally hilarious, but it was also totally cramped ... until people started getting out again, moaning that the hot tub was too hot.
It was like some dreadful slow-motion countdown. With every person that got out, the water in that tub got stiller and stiller. I kept wishing it was one of those Jacuzzi tubs with bubbles, but it wasn't; unless you kept trailing your hands around on the surface, you could see everything. So I sat there, casually fanning my hands around ... because across that pool of steaming water sat Caspar Swoon McCloud.
And in between us sat Saskia, who wasn't fanning her hands about at all.
I do want to say that, even before that night, I wasn't really sure how much I actually liked Saskia. Not that I really knew her; she'd just started hanging out with us lately — even more lately than Caspar, who'd transferred to our school from the artsy hippie school, and was cool and wild and was in a band, and I'd once told Simon and my mom I was babysitting with Lee so I could go see Caspar's band play at a bar. And it was there, while Caspar was onstage at The George, doing his guitar thing, that he'd looked up and looked at me, and I'd looked at him and —
I realized I was in love with Caspar McCloud.
And this is too much information, isn't it? This is exactly what I said I wouldn't do, which is go on about how things were. I can't stand it. I'll shut up.
Back in the hot tub, Lee came to my rescue — or tried to. She came up and asked Saskia where the gin had gone (I told you that punch was lethal), and Saskia said she didn't know, and Lee said she thought she'd seen her with it, and Saskia said she hadn't had it, and Lee said maybe she could just come and help her look for it, and Saskia, who SO knew all along what Lee was trying to do, sighed this enormous bored sigh and stood up and climbed out of the tub with her chest practically in Caspar's face and then turned to me and said:
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do."
Then there really was nothing but a steaming hot tub of water between me and Caspar McCloud.
I was so shy. I nearly died of shyness. Also, I was slightly worried that I was going to cook to death or perish from an exploding bladder because I really, really needed to pee. I tried not to think about that, and it wasn't difficult because I was in a state of pre-kiss terror. For sure, any second now, there was going to be a kiss. There HAD to be a kiss.
"Hey, Rubybaby," said Caspar.
That's what he called me: Rubybaby. From the lips of anyone other than a divine being, it would have sounded cringe making and vomit worthy. From the lips of Caspar McCloud, it was utterly thrilling, as if an electric-lipped angel was kissing your soul. You know: hot and crackly.
"Hey, Caspar," I said, crackling.
"Why don't you swim on over here and keep me company?" he said.
I fixed him with this sultry model's stare (deadpan but pouty) that I'd been practicing at home. "Well, why don't you swim on over here?" I said.
It was the pre-kiss terror that made me say that. Basically I would have swum the Atlantic to get to him. Genius, Ruby. All I'd done was prolong the agony.
Slowly and sexily, we both scooted toward each other. Actually, I'm not sure if you can scoot slowly and sexily, but that's what it felt like. Also, it felt like it took an eternity, when really it was probably about ten seconds or something.
I looked into his eyes. Then I had to look away because it was just too, too intense. I could see all my friends, dancing and messing around like idiots, and behind them, this gorgeous red sunset blazing in the sky.
If I'd looked the other way, I would have seen something else. I would have seen clouds gobbling up the night. Maybe I would even have seen the clouds reflected in Caspar's eyes, but when I got a grip enough to stare into them again, I wasn't there to admire the view.
BOMF! I practically head-butted him as my lips mashed into his. His lips sort of opened a little, and I kind of pushed my tongue into his mouth. I thought that was what you were supposed to do, to show how passionate you felt or something. Like I said, I'd kissed boys before, and that's what we had done. It had been fairly disgusting. Kissing Caspar like that wasn't disgusting; it was scary, and it felt all wrong. Until ... I dunno. It just changed. One minute it was tongue- on-tongue combat, the next minute ...
If this was my blockbuster movie, we would pause here. It would be worth a whole scene all by itself, that kiss. We would linger on it for as long as possible. That kiss. Those kisses. Where does one kiss end and another begin? We just kind of melted into one another. I know that's the kind of stupid thing they say in cheesy romances, but we did. That's what happened! One minute I was my own clumsy me-being, freaking out, and I could feel this divine Caspar-being (was he freaking out too?), this Caspar-being's tongue, and the next minute ... I dunno ... it was total —
We didn't hear the yelling.
Fingers dug into my arm. My lips disconnected from Caspar's. I turned and —
"GET OUT!" Zak's dad shouted into my face, hauling me from the tub.
And that is when it all began.CHAPTER 2
Like most people in the country, Zak's parents had gone to a barbecue that night. That's the thing about Britain, isn't it? First glimmer of sunshine, first sign of heat and everyone goes nuts, puts on their shorts, and has a barbecue. Doesn't matter if it looks like rain; we go out and we stay out until the first drop falls. No — it's worse than that: it actually has to start pouring before people give up and go inside. You add to that a holiday weekend — a whole extra day for sunburned people to lie around wishing they hadn't drunk ten zillion cans of beer and/or that they had cooked the hot dogs properly on the grill — and you get ... well, you get what happened, don't you?
Zak's parents weren't supposed to be coming home, so it was obvious right away that something was wrong because they were back, but it was even more obvious that something was wrong because they were freaking out. Normally, they wouldn't have cared at all about whatever it was we were doing. That was what was so cool about Zak's. OK, he had the hot tub and the barn and woods and fields and everything to hang out in, but the really cool thing was that his parents were completely chill. They smoked joints in front of us — hey, they even gave Zak weed! That's how chill they were.
Tonight, they were not relaxed. They basically went all Simon on us. They herded us all into the kitchen. The only thing that was un-Simon was that Zak's dad, Barnaby, kept swearing.
OK, so this is going to be the only other rule about this story: I will try to be honest; I will try to tell everything as it was, but I will not swear. My mom hated me swearing — the word God included, despite the fact that (1) she said it herself all the time (but denied it) and (2) as far as I can tell, everyone else on the planet says it all the time too. "There's no need for swearing," she'd tell me. Even with the whole world in the grip of a death-fest mega-crisis, she'd say, "Ruby, there is absolutely no need to swear."
Actually, there is a huge need for it in this story, and a lot of swearing did happen, but out of respect for my mom, I will not write those words. If, like me, you curse all the time anyway, you can go ahead and add your own swear words, but I hope you'll understand why I can't.
I'll write something beautiful instead. I'll write "[??]." For my mom.
"Oh [??]! Oh [??]! Oh [??]!" Barnaby kept going.
(The thing is, Zak's parents were always into some pagan-y religious thing or another, so it's possible that Barnaby really was calling on some specific god and wasn't just generally ranting.)
He locked the kitchen door.
"You're frightening them," said Zak's mom, Sarah, but Barnaby wasn't listening. He closed every window in the kitchen, and when he'd finished doing that, he started closing all the other windows.
You could hear him, banging around all over the house.
We weren't frightened at all. It was a little weird, but the hardest thing was not to get the giggles — although in my case I had nothing to laugh about, now there wasn't even any water to cover me. I did my best with dish towels. All our stuff, everyone's stuff, was in the barn.
"Mom, what's going on?" said Zak.
"We're not really sure," said Sarah. "Someone Barnaby knows called him and — "
Thump, thump, thump — bang! — thump, thump, thump, went Barnaby upstairs.
"Mom?" said Zak.
Bang! Thump, thump, thump. Barnaby came back down the stairs.
"You'd better ask your dad," said Sarah.
See now, that was kind of weird, wasn't it? Zak didn't normally call his mom "Mom"; Sarah didn't normally call Barnaby "your dad." If I didn't know Zak was practically immune to a whole lot of stuff that really bothered other people — like being embarrassed by your parents — I would have thought he was freaking out too. But his parents did crazy stuff all the time, and everyone knew they did, and usually no one laughed about it much because everyone understood what Zak had to deal with ... and also because Sarah and Barnaby were so kind to us.
This latest crazy thing, whatever it was, it was just bad timing, party-wise.
"Turn the radio on," Barnaby told Zak.
"Dad?" said Zak, but he turned it on anyway.
They didn't have a TV. Zak's parents didn't even have a digital radio; they had the old-fashioned crackly kind. Guess what was on?
Gardeners' Question Time.
They were discussing the best methods of tackling blight on roses.
Someone lost it and giggled. The giggling, it spread.
"This isn't right," said Barnaby quietly. "It should be the news."
I laughed too; it was impossible not to crack up with Mrs. Fotheringay-Flytrap describing the spots on her Rambling Rector rose ... but you want to know something weird? While I certainly wouldn't in a million years have thought, Oh no! This must mean the world as we know it is about to end, I kind of knew it wasn't right too. I didn't know what was supposed to be on, but I knew Gardeners' Question Time shouldn't have been. My mom LOVED that program and listened to it every Sunday — every Sunday. Not on a Saturday night. Never on a Saturday night. Not exactly scary, though, was it?
"Go and put your clothes on!" Sarah snapped at us.
I shivered. Caspar hugged me close. Leonie grabbed my hand.
Sarah never snapped at us.
"They're in the barn," said Saskia — in a really horrible way, like Sarah was stupid.
"Take ours, then," said Sarah. "Take whatever you want. Just get dressed."
Someone muttered something and headed for the kitchen door.
"Don't go outside," said Barnaby. Loudly, angrily. "You do NOT go outside."
We shuffled out of the room, the whole herd of us. On the stairs, someone cracked up, and we all had to make a mad dash for Zak's parents' bedroom so we could laugh our heads off in private, without hurting their feelings.
"What the [??] is up with your parents, man?" said Caspar.
"Got me, dude," said Zak. But he didn't sound OK; he still didn't sound OK. "C'mon," he said to Ronnie — my techie-est friend — and they went off to Zak's room.
The rest of us, we played dress-up with Zak's parents' clothes. It was so funny we forgot all the weirdness. Caspar pulled on a kaftan.
"Ohhm!" he said, doing this prayer thing with his hands.
I laughed so hard I almost —
"I need to pee," I remembered.
Lee followed me to the bathroom. I went first. I had to — I was bursting. Then Lee went while I surveyed myself in the mirror: [??]. So much for the model look. The big, baggy hippie dress was the least of it. My lips, which felt puffy-bruised and tingling from the kissing, looked kind of normal, but I had mascara zombie eyes, and where I'd had bright red lipstick on earlier, it looked like it had sort of smeared itself all over my chin; even my nose had gone Rudolf. No hope Sarah would have makeup remover, so I wet a piece of toilet paper, dabbed it in the soap, and wiped at my chin.
It wasn't really lipstick at all; it was my first ever full-blown kissing rash, and it stung. It really stung.
Nothing I could do about it, so I quickly scrubbed at the mascara disaster. Their soap — which wasn't like the soap we had at home but some organic, lentil-based, gray-green thing — was useless. It didn't even foam up, so that was it, then: I was half black-eyed zombie, half human cherry. Mortifying. Seriously mortifying.
"C'mon, get out!" shouted Caspar through the bathroom door. "Molly wants to puke!"
Great. I had to face him knowing what the face I was facing him with looked like. We opened the door, and Molly burst in, about to be sick. Under normal friendship circumstances, it would have been our duty to stay with her — but, honestly, just listening to her made my own stomach start to heave. It was bad enough looking like a mutant in front of Caspar — I definitely did not want him to witness me spewing my guts out, so I grabbed Lee's hand, and we went back downstairs.
We passed Zak's room on the way, where he and Ronnie were bickering for control of the computer. ("Why's it so slow?! Just click there," Zak was saying, trying to grab hold of the mouse. "Just click on it!")
In the kitchen, the radio people had moved on to discussing plants for dry, shady borders — which is a serious problem, apparently, and was not nearly as funny as the earlier part of the broadcast. Barnaby looked as if he was in a trance, staring out the kitchen window at ... OK, so now the party had been totally spoiled; it was raining. None of us had noticed. Why would we? We'd been too busy laughing our heads off.
"I think you all need to sober up," said Sarah, handing out glass after glass of water. "Leonie, can you please put the kettle on?"
"YesSarahYes," Lee slurred, glugging her water.
Barnaby grabbed his cell phone and started jabbing at it, trying different numbers.

H2O was a crazy, intense, and scary story. Not scary as in I-was-so-scared-I-needed-the-lights-on-and-couldn't-sleep, but in a if-this-was-reality-the-world-would-be-destroyed-and-freaking-out kind of way. It made me think about if my family and I would be prepared for anything like the scenario the story painted. It definitely made me very thirsty and want to have a year supply of water. It was also a somewhat gruesome tale with all the bleeding, dying people and the violence. Just. Intense. So much goes on and its all this complete whirlwind with people completely losing it and not thinking or acting rationally, including the main character, for much of the story. Of course there are some sane ones too, but it's amazing how even one out of control individual can endanger everyone else. I don't tend to like stories that are this destructive, and depressing and when I do, I need enough happy moments, un-craziness, and humor to balance the story for me and make it worth all the yucky stuff. There were some of those moments here and some of them were humorous and sweet. Princess (a young girl, somewhere between six and nine years old who had become mute due to the trauma she'd seen) was one character that shed some light on this story. Darius was another. He's a total geek, but I actually really liked him. He was honest, smart, and caring. I also really liked Ruby's step-father who she finally came to see more clearly. Then you had these other outrageous characters. I felt like I was in a punk video some of the time. Then there was the main character, Ruby. Ruby, Ruby, Ruby. What to do with you??? She is extremely angsty. I mean the most full-of-angst character I have ever read. At the beginning she felt like a really true, realistic, self-centered teen. There was a ton of inter-dialogue and snarkiness as Ruby is the narrator. She was kind of a snob and cared about electronics, being popular, and how she looked. Just slightly materialistic (sarcasm intended). I could live with her through half of the story this way, and through her complete freak-outs (and there were a lot). As the story progressed she did begin to have her perspective change, but I needed a lot more development. I wanted her to go gather supplies that were actually realistic and needed. I wanted her to find clothes that would work, be necessary and comfortable. I wanted her to think. Sparkly flip-flops? Sequined and flashy clothes? Heels? Wearing makeup and trying a self-tan? Clothes and electronics instead of water and food? Really? When the world is in chaos and you might not survive without the necessities? And who is going to see you anyway? When you can't drink or touch the rain or any water that wasn't already bottled? That's where I had some issues with the story. After she had seen how the world was and what she needed to do to make it, I wanted her to adjust more to that. She was scared and she should have been. That was realistic, but I wanted more from her character. Having said all that... I did feel that a lot of the story was very realistic, especially with how a lot of the people left after the first destructive rain reacted. I also thought the situation was plausible. It drizzles and rains a lot in England. The population would be almost completely destroyed very quickly in this type of situation and with water not even safe from the water system and pipes, there would be complete mayhem. H2O ended up not really being my type of story. I would have enjoyed it more if I could have liked the main character. The writing was smooth, as was the insane pace and plot. I am actually curious what will happen in the next book in this series, The Storm, coming January 2015. I'm curious because there was potential here and a chance for a better resolution. Content: There was some gruesome parts and some violence. There was also a symbol used in place of any swear words (which I appreciated as I don't like swearing) and some brief innuendo. Otherwise this was clean. Source: From the publisher through NetGalley, which did not affect my review in any way.
This book is great. I love and hate it though. Ruby at the very very beginning is excatly what the teenage girl stereotype is made of. Super stuck up. Really ignorant and way to cligy. But she is the most ignorant character I've ever read aside from the program (which is a great story. The writings sketchy and the characters are driven by the power of love. But the actual story id reccomend.) But really a sequined dress in an apocolypse. Seriously. That's one star for not writing in some common sense. But otherwise its good. The dynamic between her and Simon is great and I love how real it is. I just can't stand her ignorance. Dogs ok, means sshe has a good heart. Fine whatever. But the thought process in which you feel the need to apply makeup everyday is horrible it was just frusterating. But she straightens out in the end thank goodness. But reading her making these awful decisions and being so mean made the book slightly less enjoyable than it could have been and honestly it was the personal drive I have to finish every series I start. That forced me to read this book. Otherwise I am most certain I would have stopped. But there are plenty of good parts in the book. Like the whole story and how carefully it unfolds. It was like watching someones life playout from the sky which is how books should be.
I loved thid book, it was sad and loving and it showed sides of people no one usely sees. I almost cried at certain parts and i really hope there will be a second book. I hope everything works out for ruby.
Its an amazimg book. Great for all ages. If your into thrullers you should read this. It starts off with 2 pages of slow stuff. An zmazing boo,
I love this book sooooooo much... its such a good book and i highly reccomend it!!!
Why are people so judgemental?The author did a good job,don.Anyone willing to read this book,don't hesitate.Also,I did not mean to put don on that last sentence.
This book was very interesting because personally I love to read apocalypse/ dystopian novels. In the first half of the book Ruby was a very frustrating character to read about. Eventually she got less frustrating. What frustrated me the most was how she kept applying makeup and always checking if they had good clothes or makeup. All she cared about was her physical appearance even amidst a global crisis in which only .27 of the population survived. I also did not like how she was mean to Darius Spratt who was just being logical when she snapped at him for saying the chances of finding her father alive were where very slim. And that he was most likely dead. She also thought that she could still find her "Boyfriend" whom she kissed once and was driven to the hospital after going out in the rain. After that I thought that she became more tolerable. But overall a great read and i would recommend it to anyone that was interested.
Hey im in sixth grade and i have freshman at college reading level and you think i should not read it ;)
Unrealistic and the main character is too whiny
It is a little bit sexaul but it really intesen i can not belive that rain can kill you and i do not think it is for sixth graders and under
Great dystopian novel.
H2O is a great novel that shows true determination. When Ruby finds out the rain causes deadly reactions when someone comes in contact with it, it is the start of her life being torn apart. She loses many people in her life & is left alone. So, she decides to take a journey from her home in Dartbridge, UK, to find her father, who lives in London. She meets up with the "nerd" from her school & a small child had found. They continued their journey to London & meet many other people. Ruby then completes her journey to London & makes a shocking discovery. I would recommend this book because it isn't like other apocalypse books where the main character falls in love & saves the world. I really enjoyed it because of the more realistic touch to Ruby's reactions. This book is a reasonable length & has good detail. I enjoyed it & cannot wait to read the sequel!
The book had its mix on humour, horror, and tragic situations. It was such an interesting idea for a post-apocalyptic story. The book really made me think about how much water affects our everyday lives. I ended up reading the book on a very rainy day and I did catch myself being very cautious when I opened the door and windows. It definitely made me very thirsty, wanting water. The concept itself sounded intriguing and unique . What I really enjoyed about H20 was how realistically portrayed the characters were. It was action packed and extremely emotional. It definitely made me sob. Ruby on the other hand was obnoxious and lovable. Her character is a little too loud, brash and relatable, but that makes her believable. About half way though it slows down and the main character got a little annoying. But it had some really gory parts. It was also a somewhat gruesome tale with the bleeding, the dying and the violence. The writing though had a lot of grammar issues that bugged me. Overall the book was pretty well written. The book itself is intended for teens and young adults. But If you're into post-apocalyptic and BIG into the current wave of dystopian future, it's a must. So I recommend it.
Good story. Had great character development. But overall kind of depressing. No happy lining. Plus the pets overall fate made me want to cry.
He grinned. "Heh. Our messed up family." (He nodded, said okay, hugged me, kissed me, and told me he would handle everything. So. I guess I'll be seeing some specialist soon then.)
Irritating main character, slow moving plot, and uninteresting story and side characters. Not a fan!
Realisticly written. H20 grabs your attention and doesn't let go untill the last page.
Started off a little slow but about 50 pages in I was obsessed. Ruby's story was phenomenal, theres a small love/hate story between her step-father and another one with this kid Darius. At times i felt myself wondering what the hell i would do in this scenario but it was realistic and accurately written since Ruby is supposed to be 15. Possibly i'm biased by being a 15 year old myself, but if you enjoy the end of the world T.V shows or books this one is defiantly worth your time. I finished it in 4 days. 10/5 if you ask me.
"H2O" is an apocalyptic thriller centering around the premise of deadly rain, and I found it quite enjoyable. For maximum scare factor, be sure to read it during a rainstorm, as I accidentally did. Ruby, the main character, is pretty much a mean girl everyone knew in high school. Of course, she doesn't actually realize that she is mean. I've read some complaints about her character and, while I agree that she is not always pleasant, she is realistic. She just turned fifteen and from her own story she was never overly mature for her age. The rain didn't suddenly make her smarter, more likable, or super brave. I appreciate the author keeping it real in that way. She does have some admirable qualities, and she also realizes some mistakes she has made along the way. It's definitely a love/hate situation with her. Along with Ruby, there are many intriguing characters met along the way. As it is a disaster situation, most of them are not in the story for long, but I believe that is the way things would be in such a situation. Not every story will get a resolution. I absolutely loved the premise of the killer rain. The panic and breakdown in society from the fear of the environment and limited supply of water is a terrifying thought, and the author did an excellent job of writing that. She also did a good job of invoking the pain and sadness of so much loss of life, which is the basis of my one complaint. There is one chapter that is totally unnecessary and what I would call emotional blackmail. I won't spoil what happens, but while heartbreaking, it did not need to be present, as the author had already given multiple reasons for the reader's heart to be broken that were actually cohesive with the plot. Contriving situations to evoke an emotional response from the reader is one of my pet peeves, as it seems there is no trust put in the reader to pick up all of the emotions already present. I would have dropped it an entire star had I not loved the rest of the book so much, but I still feel the need to point that out here. In short, if you love a good natural disaster novel and don't mind having your heart broken, "H2O" is a wonderful choice for upper middle graders and up. This review is based upon a complimentary copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

The Intercultural Readiness Approach is relevant to anybody who has to work in some way with people from other cultures. That goes for a clerk in a merchandising office in London, who only speaks English, never leaves his office, but who spends an hour a day on the phone chasing up worldwide deliveries and resolving mixed-up orders. It also goes for the Regional Manager for Asia and the Pacific Rim, who manages eight countries, 5,000 employees and liaises daily in four languages. At an individual level, the IRC helps each person identify his or her strengths and weaknesses, and gives constructive and practical suggestions on how to develop those areas that are appropriate for that person. Not everybody needs to be good at everything, and used in training and coaching settings, the IRC can also help to sort through and prioritise different needs and development areas. At a more strategic level, a company-wide use of the IRC can allow a company to benchmark and align the profiles and competences of its employees with its global and cross border aspirations. With the tools for Intercultural Management Development available today, to which the Intercultural Readiness Approach is an important contribution, there is no excuse to use cultural differences as justification for failed ventures. What is true, however, is that it takes time to develop these competences, and this development needs to be anticipated and invested in. Intercultural competences and profiles need to be identified in advance of the business need and developed for the success of future projects. The Intercultural Readiness Approach delivers just that.
Jalal is the founder of Talent Leadership www.Mouti.net, an entrepreneurial and innovative community to share the knowhow and boost talent.

- Clarifying the term Competence
Intercultural Communication
The degree to which a person actively monitors own communicative behaviors. Scores indicate to what extent people listen actively out of concern for how others may be affected by what they say, and how they say it. People with high scores tend to be patient communicators, cautious in how they bring across difficult messages, and willing to take more time before responding if necessary. This attitude makes it more likely that they will adjust their behavior to the needs of their listeners.
- Preface
- Facet 1 – Active Listening
- Facet 2 – Adjusting Communicative Style
- Defining Communication
- Communicating is more than meaningful behaviour
- Ways of being misunderstood
- Why do we misunderstand each other?
- Communicative Competence
- Do we have proof of cultural differences in communication style? Is this competence really important?

|The master's master class
The commonest [tool] of all, the bread of writing, is vocabulary.Stephen King
On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
I've never really read a Stephen King novel--perhaps a short story or two; horror is just not my genre. But you cannot argue with the sheer volume of his body of work, nor his sales numbers. So, it's not surprising that Stephen King's autobiography would tell a great story. There's more to the story than just the story. Like the teacher that he once was, King's memoir includes a master class on the craft of writing.
Like all good teachers, King demystifies writing. He admits it is hard work; with hard work, at some point, it becomes craft. In addition to word choice, King offers advice on grammar, sentence structure, and storytelling. He lays the foundation for each skill, offers exemplars, then goes onto the next. By the time you're through, you cannot wait to apply the lessons King has so generously offered.
Just prior to King's memoir, I had read William Zinsser's classic about writing non-fiction: On Writing Well. It was an interesting comparison because I found King echoing much of Zinsser's straightforward advice, especially on adverbs--avoid them. Any writer would do well to consider that, and the rest of their advice.
Do I recommend this book? Of course. Buy it. Keep it. Mark in it. Read it again, and again. Then write.

Incredible Breakthrough
for the Colorblind...…..
Color My World Glasses
Many of those who suffer from color-deficiency have come to accept their condition and move on with their lives, unaware of recent developments. Now, for many of the color-deficient, they have an opportunity to greatly widen their range of color perception with these incredible Color My World glasses. If you are one of the MILLIONS of color-deficient people in the world, we invite you to try this unique product.
Understanding the Science
A normal eye has Millions of "color" cones that come in just 3 types: S, M & L (Blue, Green & Red) Your brain combines the various signal strength from the 3 cone types allowing us to see the full spectrum of COLORS!
Color deficiencies develop when you either lack the proper number of 1 or more cone type or lack 1 or more entire cone type. This is most often something you are born with. Certain eye conditions can also cause a loss of color vision. (Acquired Color-Deficiency)
The 5 lens options in the CMW Kits each filter different wavelengths of light (color). Each color-deficient person needs to find the lens that filters their functioning cones allowing the signals from their deficient cones to become visible. (Addition by Subtraction)
Take the Colorblind Test
The card to the right is used to quickly screen for color deficiency. Both Red/Green deficiency and Blue/Yellow will be detected. If you miss any of the numbers, you are deficient and should try on the CMW kit of glasses at your nearest partner office!
The Ishihara Color Vision Test is often used to determine the type and severity of color deficiency. The seemingly random colored dots are arranged in such a fashion that a person with normal color vision will see a number. But a color deficient person will either be unable to see a number or will see a different number than a color normal person.
The complete Ishihara Color Vision Test contains 38 plates. Color deficient people will see numbers on some plates but not all. The Color My World Glasses can enhance the range of colors seen and, with only a rare exception, allow them to pass the Ishihara Color Test.

Channel 14 News Reports on Color Awakening
Imagine seeing colors you've never experienced before. Tri-State News 14 reported on a young boy and his Grandfather that found a world of new colors thanks to Dr Hyndman and the Color My World glasses. These revolutionary eyeglasses expand the range of colors for many colorblind or color-deficient people. Helping them to see the World in brighter, more Vivid Colors.

The Planetary Alliance is welcoming all members of the High Council!
Almost 5 years have passed since the alliance started as a Warframe alliance and much has happened since then. We made some major achievements in becoming one of the largest alliances in the game and other Warframe alliances have been our members and spawned from us such as the Gilded Phoenix alliance.
We had for a long time a discussion going on in the admin teams and our clans about Warframe and how the game has over the last 2+ years showed signs of a slowly dying game and how we as an alliance can evolve to something different, something better and stronger and how we can progress into a Multi-Gaming Community and move away from Warframe (we're not leaving yet, just downsizing the game) and now we see strong signs that it is time to forge while the iron is still hot.
We, therefore, invite you, our dear alliance members to a High Council call on Saturday the 23rd of November 2019 at 21:00 CET where you can interact and be part of our coming future.
Please come with your good moods and ideas on how we can do this. This will be an open forum were everyone that wishes can have their voice heard to influence the alliance and be a part of our change to a stronger force within the gaming community.

Round Up Celebrates 3rd Year With Resolute, Hosting Sonja Moonear, Francesco Del Garda, Shonky
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 27 March 2019 16:03
A couple weeks after a successfull Istanbul debut where Round Up collaborated with the Istanbul creative space "MU", hosting Barac, Round Up is back in Prague joining forces with the renowned New York organization Resolute. The two promoters are landmarks for their cities underground scenes and beyond, so we expect this party to be a special one too - also considering the jaw-dropping line-up.
Three of the most wanted and best selectors around will perform at this event until early hours. The long-time queen of the scene Sonja Moonear will be headlining along the Italian selector Francesco Del Garda; you probably found yourself looking after one of the record he played in the last year. The cherry on the cake is Shonky, part of the Apollonia trio and a guaranteed party-starter. Mari.te, Bruno Curtis & Eddie Mur & Agustin Alvarez complete the line-up.
The event is celebrating the 3 years of Round Up parties at the Microna Bunker, and you can get tickets here.

Tallinn being a creative breeding ground for some of contemporary & electronic music's finest rising stars - Welcome to Sweet Spot Festival
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 26 March 2019 15:41
Since announcing the return of Estonia's Sweet Spot festival back in January, our anticipation for the weekend has been steadily growing. Held in Tallinn's The KultuuriKartel, or Creative Hubon the 28th and 29th of July, the festival offers an incredibly diverse cultural and artistic experience, curating a stellar lineup across a plethora of genres.
The festival has just unveiled the first wave of artists set to soundtrack the weekend and, as expected, they have delivered. First to be announced is Swedish singer Lykke Li, whose blend of electronic and indie pop has been well received across Europe. Additionally, Grammy Nominated Alcoe Blacc, whose instantly recognisable 'I Need A Dollar' topped charts worldwide, will deliver his signature smooth grooves. Joining the selection of international talent is British Indie Rockband Friendly Fires, with what will be their exclusive performance of the summer. Also hailing from the UK, are electronic duo HONNE, bringing to Yallinn their foward thinking take on R&B.
With Tallinn being a creative breeding ground for some of contemporary music's finest rising stars, it is refreshing to see a healthy amount of Estonian talent on the lineup's first instalment. Noëp, the alias of Andres Kõpper, will bring his stripped back mix of mix of indie, electro and pop. 6-man band Lexsoul Dancemachine will deliver their take on raw street inspired funk, while Sander Mölder will perform a live set of the sounds that earned him "Debut Album of the Year" and "Electronic Album of the Year" at the Estonian Music Awards earlier this year. Duo Púr Múdd will bring their undeniably uplifting sound, complemented nicely by the Helsinki born Onni Boi. Rounding out the initial selection of artist is Tallinn's own Pluuto, a rapper who is elevated by his forward-thinking style.
On the whole, Sweet Spot's curation is marked by exceptional stylistic diversity, ensuring there is always something new for audiences to be inspired by. Lovers of house and techno can expect the announcement of artists to play at the Electronic Music Stage to come in April. The curation of the stage will build on last year's established direction, with 2018's edition featuring International heavyweights Jeff Mills, Soichi Terada, Bullion, Honey Dijon and Ford Romeau.
The unique experience offered by the festival extends beyond its musical offering: Sweet Spot opens a creative window into a vibrant city. With a thriving culture both underground and overground, there is always something to be discovered in Tallinn. Closer to the date, we will be bringing you our recommendations, however in the meanwhile, we recommend securing your tickets at www.sweetspot.ee
Round Up Is Back at Sonar's OFFweek with 8+ artists, visuals, art & more

- Published on Thursday, 14 March 2019 10:59
This year Round Up will host a showcase at La Terrrazza in Barcelona, during the OFFweek of Sonar - a party which will happen throughout the daytime of Thursday 13th of June.
Round Up is a Prague-based events promotion organization. Started as a birthday event for Bruno Curtis and Agustin Alvarez in a small bar in the Czech capital, Round Up quickly grew into one of the most prominent promoters in the Prague scene, and recently started delivering its parties all over the best European venues. Apart from hosting the best music acts in the underground scene, Round Up puts emphasis on the visual aspect of its parties, by including original visual projections or installations on location.
The line-up still has to be announced, but considering the recent bookings of Round Up we are sure it's going to be, once again, a stellar one. La Terrrazza is an open-air summer venue located on the mountain of Montjuic, an historic part of Barcelona. Apart from being one of the main venues for the Catalan city's house and techno nightlife throughout the whole summer, the club is one of the focal points for the Sonar period.

Picnic London Celebrates Its 7th Birthday With Julian Perez, Digby, Martinez, Andy Luff
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 05 March 2019 10:30
Picnic will be celebrating its 7th birthday on March 30th, at FOLD, a venue located in East London. The ever growing party promoter have strewn together a very tasty line up for their huge 7th Birthday celebrations. Seven years as one of the most prominent promoters in the underground scene of London capital is no easy feet but the guys behind the brand keep pushing boundaries and exceeding expectations.
For this milestone event, Picnic have put together a special line-up! Joining picnic front man Andy Luff will be Julian Perez, Digby and Martinez.
Julian Perez is a Spanish selector with an impressive international reputation, playing in some of the most prominent festivals such as Outline in Moscow and Sunwaves in Romania, as well as in the finest underground club parties around Europe such as Rex, Fabric or Robert Johnson. Frequently invited to Sven Vath's Cocoon Ibiza, Julian is guaranteed to heat up any dance-floor.
Coming from South Africa, Digby grew up playing in many bands for years before focusing on becoming a master of analogue sound. An obsessive vinyl collector across genres, he is rapidly becoming known for his esoteric sets and bold selections. Expect the unexpected from his set.
A familiar face at Picnic parties, Danish-born Martinez is regularly booked for the organisation's events, which is not a surprise considering his great skills as a DJ along with an impeccable taste which gave him a strong reputation worldwide, allowing him to play in venues such as Space Ibiza or Panorama Bar in Berlin.
Founder and resident of Picnic London since it started in 2012, Andy Luff perfectly embodies the definition of a vinyl digger. Searching and collecting records for 6 years has brought him a selection coming from all angles, giving him the possibility to always express a different side to his style.
Unfortunately early birds tickets are already sold out, but you can get your hands on the first release tickets immediately following this link.
FOLD is a new institution for the arts based in the heart of East London. Home to music and creative studios with a 500 capacity, the venue promises to be the perfect place for this memorable party.

Spotlight On Nicole Croisille: "Il Était Une Fois…Nicole"
French singer and actress Nicole Croisille can be safely described as a national treasure in her homeland, but her fame has extended to international shores.

Breakfast In Bed: Eddie Hinton Saluted By Dusty, Cher, Box Tops, More On New Ace Collection
As a member of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, Eddie Hinton played on countless recordings by the likes of Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley, and Otis Redding. But there was another side of the guitarist that led Jerry Wexler to once proclaim him "the next big thing." Hinton was a persuasive performer and moreover, a fine songwriter. In collaboration with Donnie Fritts, he penned what's likely his most famous song: "Breakfast in Bed," first recorded by Baby Washington but made

German producer Jack White returned from debut album Branigan to once again helm the LP, and was this time joined by the up-and-coming Robbie Buchanan as associate producer and arranger in place of Greg Mathieson. Keyboardist Buchanan put
Presley, Darin, Orbison, Sinatra, Beach Boys Featured On Ace's New "State of the Union"

Holiday Gift Guide Spotlight: Lulu, "Decade 1967-1976"
Lulu (real name: Marie McDonald McLaughlin Lawrie) burst onto the scene in 1964 with her earthy, throaty rendition of The Isley Brothers' "Shout!" The fifteen-year old parlayed that memorable U.K. top ten hit into an international career that remains vibrant and active to this very day. Lulu remained on Decca Records, the home of "Shout!," for a two-year stint, departing the label in late 1966 to sign with producer Mickie Most EMI's Columbia Records arm (not to be confused with the
Holiday Gift Guide Review: Neil Diamond, "50th Anniversary Collector's Edition"
I. I Got the Feelin' In his 1966 debut single for Bang Records, Neil Diamond famously declared himself a "Solitary Man." But the New York singer-songwriter wasn't to be solitary for very long, as he soon gained the worldwide audience that, over 50 years later, still follows each one of his musical endeavors. Diamond has just looked back on his remarkable career on a handsome new box set from Capitol Records and UMe. 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition expands upon the similarly-titled
Holiday Gift Guide Review: Elvis Presley, "'68 Comeback Special: 50th Anniversary Edition"
Elvis had a lot riding on his December 1968 NBC-TV special. Once the brightest star in the galaxy - and one whose every freeing move caused ripples in American society - he was no longer at the top of the charts. A string of lightweight movie musicals had rendered the once-"dangerous" entertainer as wholesome as apple pie. At the time of the broadcast, Elvis' most recent single ("Guitar Man") had failed to crack the top 40 and he hadn't had a chart-topper since "Good Luck Charm" in 1962. He
Naturally: Manifesto Collects '70s Soft Rock Sounds of Hawaii's Kalapana
Black Sand: The Best of Kalapana, a 20-track anthology from the Hawaiian band drawn from the years 1975-1983, presents a vivid portrait of the group that, despite various personnel changes, has been playing to sold-out crowds for 45 years now. Yet one question lingers: how has Kalapana languished in obscurity on the American mainland for so long? Malani Bilyeu, D.J. Pratt, Kirk Thompson, and Mackey Feary came together to make music in 1973. All but Pratt were born in Honolulu; the lead
Holiday Gift Guide Review: Eagles, "Legacy"
Just Find a Place to Make Your Stand On the list of the United States' five best-selling albums of all time, one name stands tall - the only artist to lay claim to two of those five titles. That artist is, of course, a band: Eagles. 1976's Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) sits atop the list at 38 million copies sold; Hotel California is third with 26 million. The ten tracks on the former are all modern-day standards, each and every one of them still a radio staple. Though the original
Review: The Beatles, "The Beatles (The White Album): Anniversary Edition"
You Say You Want a Revolution Following the enormous, worldwide success of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The Beatles wouldn't have been faulted had they re-entered Abbey Road Studios and created another album of robustly melodic, lavishly orchestrated songs of whimsy and wonder. But Messrs. Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, and Starr weren't interested in repeating themselves. When The Beatles arrived on November 22, 1968, roughly one and one-half years after Pepper, one didn't even
Review: Bob Dylan, "More Blood, More Tracks: The Bootleg Series Vol. 14"
Bob Dylan began recording 1975's Blood on the Tracks in much the same manner he had begun 1962's Bob Dylan: inside the studio at 799 Seventh Avenue, New York City, alone at the microphone with just his guitar, a harmonica, and the song. In '62, the facility was Columbia Studio A, in '75 it was A&R Studios. In '62, John Hammond was the producer, in '75 Phil Ramone (the R in A&R) was manning the controls as engineer. Dylan, of course, was a much-changed man, but upon his return to
Review: Matthew Sweet, "100% Fun" From Intervention Records
This spring, Intervention Records announced a highly anticipated new endeavor: a series of Matthew Sweet SACD and 2-LP reissues, encompassing his entire recorded output from 1991-1995. The Second Disc was able to hear the two-disc vinyl configuration of the release that kicked off the series: an expanded edition of Sweet's 1995 album, 100% Fun. Originally released on the Zoo Entertainment label, the album has seen surprisingly few reissues over the years. Music On Vinyl released a
Contante & Sonante Celebrates Late Warren Wiebe with Rare Demos From Burt Bacharach, David Foster, More
Talk about a well-kept secret... Throughout his too-short life, vocalist Warren Wiebe (1953-1998) never became a household name. Yet he was highly successful. As a background singer, he graced recordings by Johnny Mathis, Paul Anka, Taylor Dayne, and Air Supply. A true songwriter's singer - able to convey the heart and soul of a song without resorting to self-indulgence - he earned the respect and admiration of a "Who's Who" of songwriters who enlisted him to introduce their songs on
Elvis Costello Deftly Blends Present and Past on "Look Now"
Among the credits for Elvis Costello and The Imposters' Look Now is a simple acknowledgment: In Memphis - Mary Isobel O'Brien. The onetime Ms. O'Brien, of course, is better known as Dusty Springfield, and the credit from Declan MacManus and his band makes clear the inspiration for this stunning assemblage of what the artist, correctly, deems "uptown pop." Dusty in Memphis is one of the benchmarks of that style: pop with a dash of soul, or is it soul with a dash of pop? It doesn't hurt that

Deák, Balázs and Valkó, Orsolya and Török, Péter and Kelemen, András and Tóth, Katalin and Miglécz, Tamás and Tóthmérész, Béla (2015) Reed cut, habitat diversity and productivity in wetlands. ECOLOGICAL COMPLEXITY, 22. pp. 121-125. ISSN 1476-945X

There is a conflict between nature conservation and thatching industry regarding the management of reedbeds. On one hand, reedbeds are of an economical importance by providing thatching material, on the other hand, they harbour several endangered species. Reedbeds are typically managed by winter cutting, but its impacts on biodiversity are poorly understood. Our aim was to study the effects of winter cutting on the habitat diversity and structural heterogeneity of wetlands in a lowland alkali landscape (East-Hungary). We tested the following hypotheses: (i) Both diversity of plant species and habitat diversity are lower in winter cut wetlands compared to unmanaged stands. (ii) The distribution of biomass (green biomass, litter and standing dead biomass) is more homogeneous in winter cut wetlands compared to unmanaged ones. We found that winter cutting decreased habitat diversity and structural heterogeneity at multiple scales. Number of plant species and all measures of habitat diversity (number of patches, vegetation types and the length of vegetation margins) had lower scores in cut wetlands than in unmanaged ones. We found that unmanaged wetlands harboured high amount of accumulated biomass and they also maintained high habitat diversity likely due to the heterogeneous distribution of the biomass. In unmanaged wetlands, biomass accumulation did not decrease habitat diversity and also contributed to a higher structural heterogeneity. In cut wetlands, expansion of reed was an important driver of the decrease in habitat diversity and structural heterogeneity. Reed expansion likely overrode fine-scale edaphic conditions (hydrology and salinity) in shaping vegetation patterns; thus we suggest to avoid intensive winter cutting.

Kim Kardashian caught a lot of flak last month when her famous sisters praised her 119lb figure, complimenting the 37-year-old with "dangerous" language by telling her, "I don't think you're eating," and that she looks anorexic.
Social media and celebrities alike latched on to the moment, highlighting the issue with using such words and phrasing in a complimentary fashion.
Regardless of the comments Kim received, the idea that she's touting her weight (a literal number on the scale) was called out as problematic — especially by those who've battled any sort of eating disorder or body consciousness (and TBH who hasn't?).
Well, apparently the fallout did not affect Kardashian much, because she appears to be back to bragging about her weight — apparently she's lost a few pounds since we last checked in.

In the last couple of years, many employers have been seeking entrepreneurial employees in a bid to get the best out of their workforce. You can easily notice this through the numerous buzzwords you see on job description adverts. You will see self-starter, able to work under minimal supervision, able to think out of the box and a people person among others. So, are these just buzzwords or our employers looking for employees with an entrepreneur mindset? If so, is it a good idea?
Hiring employees who have an entrepreneur mindset could be an advantage to the company and at the same time could be a problem. Nevertheless, it basically depends on how the company is set up. For instance, entrepreneurial employees would find it difficult working in conditions where there are so many rules. You can't micromanage entrepreneurs as they believe in breaking the rules. Furthermore, entrepreneurs always speak up their mind which might not always go well with other employees. Moreover, they find office politics a perfect waste of time which is what many employees thrive on. Nevertheless, it's not really a bad idea to have a couple in your organization as long as you have the right systems in place. Here are some benefits that come with entrepreneurial employees.
They are resourceful
Employees who have an interest in entrepreneurship are obviously skilled in many areas and always try to learn new things. Whether they are learning or trying out new things, the benefit you get from their input is priceless. Furthermore, entrepreneurs already know how to work around tight budgets and accomplishing tasks with minimum resources. Basically, entrepreneurs are obsessed with return on investment and will work hard to ensure your company gets the best ROI as they test their skills.
They are innovative
Employees with an entrepreneur spirit are always innovative and will try to find solutions to problems as quickly as possible using the least resources. It is easy to get entrepreneurial employees to innovate other than trying to train regular employees on the benefits of innovation. Furthermore, entrepreneurs are constantly learning and equipping themselves with the latest viable skill sets. In this regard, entrepreneurs always wear many hats meaning they are able to solve problems more quickly.
They are risk takers
Entrepreneurs are highly likely to do risk-taking better than the average employee. Entrepreneurs are not adrenaline junkies or daredevils but usually assess and analyze situations and only pick the most reasonable risks. Through their expertise in analyzing situations, they offer you a chance to approach problems and risks more tactfully.
They are passionate
Entrepreneurship is driven by passion and passion directly affects productivity. Entrepreneurs are passionate about their work, solving problems, making money, innovating and growth among others. If you have these kinds of people in your team, you don't need to keep watching them through the index time clock attendance system as passion drives them. In this regard, they will work hard to complete tasks as required and always look at the bigger picture. Nevertheless, employees who aren't passionate only work for the paycheck.
They enjoy solving problems
Entrepreneurs by default like solving problems. In fact, the first step of being an entrepreneur is solving a problem. In this regard, you can rely on entrepreneurial employees to help you in problem-solving whether on a specific task or an overall approach towards customer satisfaction or any other issues affecting the company. They are more likely to offer new solutions to problems as well as offer solutions from a different perspective.
All in all, entrepreneurial employees are more likely to grow your company than unenthusiastic employees who only work for the paycheck. Having entrepreneurial employees as leaders makes it even better for your company. They will lead with an entrepreneur mindset meaning innovation, creativity, resourcefulness, risk-taking and problem-solving skills are passed on to junior employees. However, when employing entrepreneurial employees, you have to be open-minded and let them be. Entrepreneurial employees are not ready to be micromanaged or follow many rules. In this regard, you should consider removing some unnecessary regulations such as no personal phone calls in the office. In fact, you should give them as much freedom as possible but always be keen on their performance.
