046: Hello, computer
This episode takes more of a 'resource' form, as we share some tips & tricks for getting started building a PC for gaming. We cut through some of the aspects that we think are unimportant, and share some shortcuts for saving time and money.
There's a lot of resources out there on the Internet, but we like:
- Scan – for buying components (and pre-builds) in the UK
- Toms Hardware – for reviews
- bit-tech.net – for reviews, especially peripherals and modifications
- Hexus – for their partnership with Scan (easy to find reviews)
- Anandtech – for their deep-dives into new product ranges
- The Wirecutter – for their 'just buy this one' approach to components and peripherals. Look under 'Electronics'.

Hi, and welcome. This blog is a mixture of my story and guest Author posts designed to help wannabe authors avoid some of the pitfalls that we have experienced. It's a bit of informative fun. If you have questions please feel free to submit them to email@example.com
Wednesday, September 16, 2015
The anniversary of 9/11- Fourteen years ago I, like so many, was glued to national TV as the singular most horrendous slaughter unfolded in front of my eyes; the attacks on the World Trade Centre in NY. As I drove home yesterday I listened to an American radio station interview with woman, a former cabin crew member, and she had some very valid points to make over the downing of those towers. Actually, to be more exact, some experience based factual observations that raise yet more questions. I have to confess that I have long suspected the 'truth' regarding that terrible human tragedy is a long walk away from the story being told by the Government. I certainly don't consider myself a 'Conspiracy theorist, raging fruit-bat' type of guy, it's just that I like to question things. In my humble opinion there is sufficient evidence to at least warrant thought, consideration to the possibility that it was a domestic act of deliberate destruction. To do that you have to get over the biggest hurdle of all - you have to allow yourself to acknowledge that there are real people out there that could be this evil, and that is a terrible admission.
It is not that the 'coincidences' prove that it was a merciless act of domestic origin ... they don't: But there are enough to heavily suggest that we are not being told the truth. There are enough 'coincidences' to make the dumbest of dumb question the odds - unfortunately, there are none so blind as those that will not see.
I watched the footage of people jumping from the towers to absolute certain death, the endless processions of funeral vehicles carrying the bodies of firemen, police and paramedics, servants of New York City that gave their lives; I can understand why the very thought of it being a domestically orchestrated event is incomprehensible, I really do. At the very least indulge me for a few minutes, this is not a theory on who did it, or why, it is much worse than that!
If the Air Hostess turned Author is to be believed then the planes that hit the 2 towers were not the same type of aircraft that they represented. A plausible explanation around the misfortune of the actual passenger aircraft is offered, and a further link between the cause and certain company owners is uncovered. There were 'War Games' going on, the huge delay of the intercept aircraft being scrambled, the number of people that didn't turn up to work that day, WTC 7, nano-thermites, the list goes on and on. IF (and it is a massive 'if'), but IF half of what is coming to light proves to have a basis, just how many people have knowingly contributed to this mass murder? And it is that that shocks me to the core. Could it really be that there are that many people that can keep their participation quiet? If an author wrote a story portraying that level of intricate planning and that many people, it would be deemed implausible, a fantasy novel, Though let's not forget the saying "Fact can be stranger than fiction."
There are a couple of things in play here; an arrogance that people will simply believe what they are told, and the belief that most people are just too damn lazy to employ original thought. For those that aren't aware, there is also the UK live news report announcing the fall of WTC 7 whilst the actual building stood intact behind her for a further 15-20 minutes.
And on the subject of weird and wonderful, or at least weird, - this isn't a compilation of various reports, charts, rumours or propaganda, this is absolute fact, seen with my own two eyes. Last year MH17 was shot out of the sky by a missile. How do we know this? Because there was a missile casing lying alongside the wreckage in the first reports shown on tv here in New Zealand. It was between 6 and 7 in the morning, I was watching the report on our flat screen television as I walked towards the patio doors. The female presenter was narrating, telling the country that there were suspicions the plane had been shot down by a missile. Her male colleague watched the footage, at the end of it laughing mockingly at the narrative, "Possibly shot down by a missile, how can they say that, look ... rerun the clip, can we see that again, you could see the missile.." he scoffed. The clip that was shown again was not the same clip, it had been reduced in length, the missile chassis part was not part of the edited rerun. I have searched the internet for the original footage with no joy - can someone really make that disappear? It seems so, which should make everybody realize the frightening prospect that there are some very serious people out there, with very serious agenda's and we, the common folk, are just disposable mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed on s@#t.
Going back to that American radio interview, the lady in question was at a secret location, she truly feared a 'drone strike' on her house so had moved ... her fear was real, you could tell in her voice.
Radio interview Rebekah Roth (it's a couple of hours long but worth it)
Anyway, whilst this body of super powerful, totally messed up individuals decide the fate of the human race I shall keep writing my story's. I'm keen to see if fiction can match the truth.

I have a series of Map created, one for each site. These are all rolled up into the Main map, which I display on the Home tab of our Orion web. This works just fine, and when I click on an individual site, it takes me to the map for that site. However, I don't put in any backgrounds on those maps, and it used to just list the Nodes, with their Description and Status (along with their little status LED). However, with all the upgrades, it now seems to show this, plus a "blank" map above, with each Node scattered around on it as well. I have no need of this double showing of the Nodes.
Is there any way to control what shows up on the Orion Web?
Can you send me or post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

Chip and Dan Heath, the bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick, tackle one of the most critical topics in our work and personal lives: how to make better decisions. Research in psychology has revealed that our decisions are disrupted by an array of biases and irrationalities: We're overconfident. We seek out information that supports us and downplay informationChip and Dan Heath, the bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick, tackle one of the most critical topics in our work and personal lives: how to make better decisions. Research in psychology has revealed that our decisions are disrupted by an array of biases and irrationalities: We're overconfident. We seek out information that supports us and downplay information that doesn't. We get distracted by short-term emotions. When it comes to making choices, it seems, our brains are flawed instruments. Unfortunately, merely being aware of these shortcomings doesn't fix the problem, any more than knowing that we are nearsighted helps us to see. The real question is: How can we do better? In Decisive, the Heaths, based on an exhaustive study of the decision-making literature, introduce a four-step process designed to counteract these biases. Written in an engaging and compulsively readable style, Decisive takes readers on an unforgettable journey, from a rock star's ingenious decision-making trick to a CEO's disastrous acquisition, to a single question that can often resolve thorny personal decisions. Along the way, we learn the answers to critical questions like these: How can we stop the cycle of agonizing over our decisions? How can we make group decisions without destructive politics? And how can we ensure that we don't overlook precious opportunities to change our course? Decisive is the Heath brothers' most powerful—and important—book yet, offering fresh strategies and practical tools enabling us to make better choices. Because the right decision, at the right moment, can make all the difference.From the Hardcover edition....

Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work Reviews
The writing was so-so, and their so-called "WRAP" mnemonic seemed both contrived and uninformative:Widen your optionsReality-test your assumptionsAttain distance before decidingPrepare to be wrongAND YET this was a pretty great book when it comes to offering practical advice for all sorts of decisions. Some concepts/reminders I liked:- Look at a wider range of possibilities. For instance, ask what you'd do if all the options you're considering disappeared. Or consider multiple options at the same time.- If you can't decide, ask yourself what advice you'd give to a friend. Usually you'll have a quick answer.- Avoid bad assumptions and confirmation bias in your analysis by seeking out more information, especially from those who have had that experience and who have an opposing perspective. Ask hard, specific questions to unearth issues. Do a "premortem" -- assume the project ends up failing, and ask yourself what the causes must have been. Then address them in the present.- Give weight to base rates more than blind optimism about your perspective. If you open a restaurant, for instance, chances are it'll fail. That's more relevant than the fact you're a great chef.- Run "experiments" before jumping in, like job-shadowing or making a prototype.- Identify your values and priorities, and let them help guide your decisions.- Deadlines ("tripwires") drive action -- whether the action is finishing, reevaluating, or quitting.--Misc. Kindle quotes:An American Bar Association survey found that 44% of lawyers would recommend that a young person not pursue a career in law. - location 67More than half of teachers quit their jobs within four years. - location 69Samuel Johnson once described a second marriage as the "triumph of hope over experience." - location 87A British study of more than 3,000 people found that 88% of New Year's resolutions are broken, including 68% of resolutions merely to "enjoy life more." - location 90When the researchers compared whether process or analysis was more important in producing good decisions—those that increased revenues, profits, and market share—they found that "process mattered more than analysis—by a factor of six." - location 102"Any time in life you're tempted to think, 'Should I do this OR that?' instead, ask yourself, 'Is there a way I can do this AND that?' It's surprisingly frequent that it's feasible to do both things." - location 153Cole is fighting the first villain of decision making, narrow framing, which is the tendency to define our choices too narrowly, to see them in binary terms. We ask, "Should I break up with my partner or not?" instead of "What are the ways I could make this relationship better?" We ask ourselves, "Should I buy a new car or not?" instead of "What's the best way I could spend some money to make my family better off?" - location 164I looked out the window at the Ferris Wheel of the Great America amusement park revolving in the distance, then I turned back to Gordon and I asked, "If we got kicked out and the board brought in a new CEO, what do you think he would do?" Gordon answered without hesitation, "He would get us out of memories." I stared at him, numb, then said, "Why shouldn't you and I walk out the door, come back in, and do it ourselves?" This was the moment of clarity. From the perspective of an outsider, someone not encumbered by the historical legacy and the political infighting, shutting down the memory business was the obvious thing to do. The switch in perspectives—"What would our successors do?"—helped Moore and Grove see the big picture clearly. - location 228A study showed that when doctors reckoned themselves "completely certain" about a diagnosis, they were wrong 40% of the time. When a group of students made estimates that they believed had only a 1% chance of being wrong, they were actually wrong 27% of the time. - location 280You encounter a choice. But narrow framing makes you miss options. • You analyze your options. But the confirmation bias leads you to gather self-serving information. • You make a choice. But short-term emotion will often tempt you to make the wrong one. • Then you live with it. But you'll often be overconfident about how the future will unfold. - location 294Parents are often shocked, too, to hear that, once you control for aptitude, a person's lifetime earnings don't vary based on what college they attended. In other words, if you're smart enough to get into Yale, it doesn't really matter (from an income perspective) whether you go there or instead choose your much cheaper state university. - location 629What would you do in this situation? Please circle one of the options below. (A) Buy this entertaining video. (B) Not buy this entertaining video. Given this choice, 75% bought the video and only 25% passed. Probably you'd have made the same decision—after all, it's your favorite actor (Leonardo DiCaprio!) in your favorite type of film (sinking-ship movies!) and you've been considering it for a while. Later the researchers asked a different group of people the same question, but with a minor modification (printed here in bold): (A) Buy this entertaining video. (B) Not buy this entertaining video. Keep the $14.99 for other purchases. Surely the part in bold should not have to be stated. It's obvious and even a little insulting. Do we really need to remind people that they can use their money to buy things other than videos? Nonetheless, when shown that simple, stupid reminder, 45% of the people decided not to buy the video. - location 676Below, we give you a generic form of the Vanishing Options Test, which you can adapt to your situation: You cannot choose any of the current options you're considering. What else could you do? - location 718All of the designers ultimately created the same number of ads (six) and received the same quantity of feedback (five ad critiques). The only difference was the process: simultaneous versus one at a time. - location 853Kathleen Eisenhardt has found that the opposite is true. In a study of top leadership teams in Silicon Valley, an environment that tends to place a premium on speed, she found that executives who weigh more options actually make faster decisions. It's a counterintuitive finding, but Eisenhardt offers three explanations. First, comparing alternatives helps executives to understand the "landscape": what's possible and what's not, what variables are involved. That understanding provides the confidence needed to make a quick decision. Second, considering multiple alternatives seems to undercut politics. With more options, people get less invested in any one of them, freeing them up to change positions as they learn. As with the banner-ad study, multitracking seems to help keep egos under control. Third, when leaders weigh multiple options, they've given themselves a built-in fallback plan. - location 877Within a matter of months, under Whippy's direction, the sepsis protocol was being actively implemented in other hospitals. By summer 2012, Kaiser Permanente Northern California, composed of 21 hospitals serving 3.3 million people, had driven down risk-adjusted mortality from sepsis to 28% below the national average. This solution has astonishing potential. If all hospitals could match Kaiser Permanente's 28% reduction, it would be the annual equivalent, in lives saved, of saving every single man who dies from prostate cancer and every single woman who dies from breast cancer. - location 1153we should find someone who has already solved our problem. To find them, we can look inside (for bright spots), outside (for competitors and best practices), and into the distance (via laddering up). - location 1390For centuries, the Catholic Church made use of a "devil's advocate" in canonization decisions (i.e., in deciding who would be named a saint). The devil's advocate was known inside the church as the promotor fidei—the "promoter of the faith"—and his role was to build a case against sainthood. John Paul II eliminated the office in 1983, ending 400 years of tradition. Since then, tellingly, saints have been canonized at a rate about 20 times faster than in the early part of the twentieth century. - location 1491Ask tough questions of the lawyers you meet. When you are at a recruiting dinner with a couple of lawyers from the firm, don't just ask them, "So, do you folks have any kind of life outside of work?" They will chuckle, say "sure," and ask if you want more wine. Instead, ask them how many times last week they had dinner with their families. And then ask them what time dinner was served. And then ask them whether they worked after dinner. Ask them what their favorite television show is or what is the last good movie they saw. If they respond, respectively, Welcome Back, Kotter and Saturday Night Fever, you will know something's wrong.… When a lawyer tells you that he gets a lot of interesting assignments, ask for examples. You may be surprised at what passes for "interesting" at the firm. And when a lawyer tells you that associates are happy at the firm, ask for specifics. How many associates were hired five years ago? How many of those associates remain at the firm? Who were the last three associates to leave the firm? What are they doing now? How can you contact them? Asking tough, disconfirming questions like these can dramatically improve the quality of information we collect, - location 1596The researchers explain that probing questions signal confidence and experience in the asker. The seller knows she isn't likely to pull one over on you. There's a similar signaling effect with Judge Schiltz's questions. A law student is likely to get straight answers to the questions "How many associates were hired five years ago?" and "How many of those associates remain at the firm?" - location 1615"assume positive intent" spurs us to interpret someone's actions/words in a more positive light. - location 1779Often in life, though, we do the opposite: We trust our impressions over the averages. For example, many people will accept a new job without consulting a sample of people who currently or formerly held the same title. Shouldn't their "reviews" be as valuable as a stranger's assessment of a hotel room or restaurant? Strange to think that when we make critical decisions, we do less objective research than when we're picking a sushi joint. - location 1818The inside view = our evaluation of our specific situation. The outside view = how things generally unfold in situations like ours. The outside view is more accurate, but most people gravitate toward the inside view. - location 2098If you can't find the "base rates" for your decision, ask an expert. - location 2104Think about a student, Steve, who has decided to go to pharmacy school. What makes him think that's a good option? Well, he spent months toying with other possibilities—medical school and even law school—and he eventually decided pharmacy was the best fit. He's always enjoyed chemistry, after all, and he likes the idea of working in health care. He feels like the lifestyle of a pharmacist, with its semireasonable hours and good pay, would suit him well. But this is pretty thin evidence for such an important decision! Steve is contemplating a minimum time commitment of two years for graduate school, not to mention tens of thousands of dollars in tuition and forgone income. He's placing a huge bet on paltry information. This is a situation that cries out for an ooch, and an obvious one would be to work in a pharmacy for a few weeks. He'd be smart to work for free, if need be, to get the job. (Certainly if he can afford several years of school without an income, he can afford to take a monthlong unpaid internship.) Surely this concept—testing a profession before entering it—sounds obvious. Yet every year hordes of students enroll in graduate schools without ever having run an experiment like that: - location 2156Imagine going to school for three or four years so you can start a career that never suited you! This is a truly terrible decision process, in the same league as an impromptu drunken marriage in Vegas. (Though maybe that's unfair to Vegas, since a hungover annulment might be preferable to a hundred grand in student debt.) To correct this insanity, the leaders of many graduate schools of physical therapy have begun forcing students to ooch. Hunter College at the City University of New York, for instance, does not admit students unless they have spent at least a hundred hours observing physical therapists at work. That way, all incoming students are guaranteed a basic understanding of the profession they're preparing to enter. - location 2166Research has found that interviews are less predictive of job performance than work samples, job-knowledge tests, and peer ratings of past job performance. Even a simple intelligence test is substantially more predictive than an interview. - location 2355"Often our best interviewees turn out to be our worst performers," said Steve Cole of HopeLab. In response, HopeLab has begun to give potential employees a three-week consulting contract. - location 2375in helping us to break a decision logjam, the single most effective question may be: What would I tell my best friend to do in this situation? It sounds simple, but next time you're stuck on a decision, try it out. You'll be surprised how effectively that question can clarify things. The two of us have talked to many people about thorny personal or professional decisions they were facing, and often they seemed flummoxed about the right thing to do. Then we'd ask them the "best friend" question, and almost always—often within a matter of seconds!— - location 2680Peter Bregman, a productivity guru and blogger for the Harvard Business Review, recommends a simple trick for dodging this fate. He advises us to set a timer that goes off once every hour, and when it beeps, we should ask ourselves, "Am I doing what I most need to be doing right now?" - location 2972By identifying and enshrining your core priorities, you make it easier to resolve present and future dilemmas. - location 2997The psychologist Gary Klein, inspired by this research, devised a method for testing decisions that he calls the "premortem." A postmortem analysis begins after a death and asks, "What caused it?" A premortem, by contrast, imagines the future "death" of a project and asks, "What killed it?" A team running a premortem analysis starts by assuming a bleak future: Okay, it's 12 months from now, and our project was a total fiasco. It blew up in our faces. Why did it fail? - location 3136You might assume that realistic job previews succeed by scaring away people who couldn't have handled the job. That's true to some extent, but it's a relatively small factor. In fact, in some of the studies Phillips reviewed, people exposed to the job preview were no more likely to drop out of the recruitment process than other recruits who didn't get the full, unvarnished truth. Instead, the success of realistic job previews seems to be driven by what Phillips calls a "vaccination" effect. By exposing people to a "small dose of organizational reality" before they start work, you vaccinate them against shock and disappointment. So at the call center, when a new customer-service rep finds herself on a call with an angry guy, she isn't taken aback. She was expecting it. This explains an otherwise puzzling fact: Realistic job previews have been shown to reduce turnover even when they are given after the employee is hired. The previews are not just helping the "wrong" people opt out of the hiring process; they're helping all people cope better when they confront the inevitable difficulties of the role. In fact, realistic job previews not only reduce turnover but also increase job satisfaction. - location 3294The psychologists Amos Tversky and Eldar Shafir offered college students a five-dollar reward for filling out a survey. When given a five-day deadline, 66% of the students completed the survey and claimed their rewards. When given no deadline, only 25% ever collected their money. The same phenomenon has been noted with substantially higher stakes. In Great Britain, the Economic and Social Research Council, which gives grants to university researchers in areas such as global economics, security, and education, decided to eliminate submission deadlines and accept proposals on a rolling basis. Research professors should have been relieved. Instead of having to submit proposals on a couple of fixed dates, usually smack dab in the midst of teaching commitments, they were now being given the flexibility to submit a proposal whenever they had time to do so. Proposal submissions promptly declined by 15% to 20%. This is not rational behavior: If students like the idea of getting five dollars for a survey, and if researchers need grant money, then they shouldn't need a deadline to follow through. Yet while irrational, this behavior probably makes sense to all of us. Deadlines focus our mental spotlight on a choice. They grab us by the collar and say, If you're gonna do this, you have to do it now. - location 3536That minor difference had a major effect. The people who got the unwrapped cookies finished them, on average, in 6 days. Meanwhile, those who got the individually wrapped cookies took 24 days! The foil wrapper was acting as a partition, forcing people to contemplate whether they wanted to keep going. (Which suggests that we might be able to help casino-addicted retirees by wrapping slot machines in foil.) - location 3567Researchers call this sense of fairness "procedural justice"—i.e., the procedures used to make a decision were just—as distinct from "distributive justice," which is concerned with whether the spoils of a decision were divvied up fairly. An extensive body of research confirms that procedural justice is critical in explaining how people feel about a decision. It's not just the outcome that matters; it's the process. - location 3787It works much better if I start out by agreeing: "Yep. Plan Z is a reasonable plan. Not only for the reasons you mentioned, but here are two more advantages. And Plan A—the plan that we chose—not only has the flaws that you mentioned, but here are three more flaws." The effect of this technique is amazing. It seems completely counterintuitive, but even if you don't convince people that your plan is better, hearing you explain your plan's flaws—and their plan's advantages—makes them much more comfortable. Hitz's logic defies our natural PR instincts. Aren't we supposed to vociferously defend our positions? Won't we spook people if we admit weakness? No. Hitz has it right. A manager's self-criticism is comforting, rather than anxiety producing, because it signals that she is making a reality-based decision. - location 3815We should make sure people are able to perceive that the process is just. • High-stakes mediator Mnookin: "I state back the other side's position better than they could state it." • Entrepreneur Hitz: "Sometimes the best way to defend a decision is to point out its flaws." - location 3955
Your decision-making approach is probably a variation of the Benjamin Franklin method: you weigh up the pros and cons and go with the winner.But, argue Chip and Dan Heath, this approach rarely leads to the best decisions. Using the Benjamin Franklin method can still see you fall victim to the "Four Villains of Decision Making": framing your choice in too narrow terms, seeking out information that supports your biases, being influenced by short-term emotions, and being overconfident about the future.Their decision making method addresses those areas. It shows you how to widen your options, reality-test your assumptions, attain distance before deciding and prepare to be wrong.The Heath brothers are up front that making better decisions does not mean you'll always make the right choice. But choosing from a wider range of options, and using less biased information to make your choice, does increase your chances of a successful decision.Indeed, most of the time it's better to make a decision, act, and be wrong, than to dither and delay.You make countless decisions of varying importance every day. This book gives you tools to arrive at choices that you can implement with greater certainty.
How I Came To Read This Book: I subscribe to the Heath bros' email list and they sent me an email alerting me to their latest title. After previewing the first chapter I came up with a nifty idea for a (pending) blog post and requested a review copy of this book to help round things out. The Plot: As with the first two Heath bros' books, this is an advice compendium on a single topic - decision making. Culling real-world examples and other experts' advice, you're walked through a four-step process to help you grapple with major decisions in life, business, and where the two intersect. The Good & The Bad: Another fantastic book that deserves a spot on my desk (note that I didn't say my bookshelf - these are books that you will constantly reference). What was particularly interesting about this one for me on a personal level was that although it wasn't about marketing - in fact it was probably the least directly linked TO marketing - the book used a ton of marketing case studies that left me feeling inspired. The amazing thing about all of the Heath books is the fact they aren't for one industry or one age group or one age bracket - the advice in them is really universal where you can apply it to so many different scenarios. And kudos to the boys for being able to consistently deliver palatable, piecemeal solutions and processes.I will knock this book slightly for being a touch less focused than the incomparable Switch. Where the process of Switch at its core was incredibly simple - Motivate the Rider, Direct the Elephant, Shape the Path - the four steps here don't really make sense until you apply one of the many sub-approaches to each step. While it's impressive and important to have offered so many solutions to working out dilemmas, it also makes things a touch less clear, hence the need to have this book on your desk to constantly revert back to. But again, considering how diverse and specialized each of our individual problems are, I'm impressed by how universal this book's approach really is. I can think of a dozen friends that should pick this one up!The Bottom Line: Another fantastic book to complement the Heath brothers' winning streak of universal advice titles.

"I know one thing: that I know nothing." - SocratesFor the past few years I've had a fascinating and fun journey working my way through a good collection of titles about how thinking works; more specifically, about how thinking doesn't work the way we think it works. That we are constantly lying to, misleading, and deluding ourselves. That our knowledge, perceptions, beliefs, memories, and actions aren't nearly as rational and reasonable as we like to think. That many of our decisions, both the little, daily ones and the big, life-changing ones aren't as sound and carefully reasoned as we believe. Titles on my shelves I'd include in this category: - Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces that Shape Our Decisions, by Dan Ariely - Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior, by Ori Brafman and Rom Brafman - You Are Not So Smart: Why You Have Too Many Friends on Facebook, Why Your Memory Is Mostly Fiction, and 46 Other Ways You're Deluding Yourself, by David McRaney - Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, by Daniel Pink - True Enough: Learning to Live in a Post-Fact Society, by Farhad Manjoo - Practical Wisdom: The Right Way To Do the Right Thing, by Barry Schwartz and Kenneth Sharpe - Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything, by Joshua Foer - The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, by David Brooks - Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives, by Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler - Thinking, Fast and Slow, by Daniel Kahneman*While there have been times the reading has left me feeling cynical and dispirited--that there is no point trying to communicate or connect with others since their assumptions and biases will confound my efforts anyway--for the most part it has been a helpful, healthy process of improving my self-awareness and interpersonal/emotional intelligence. They've made me a better listener, less sure of my own strident opinions in discussions and more likely to assume a generous "AND" stance instead of a combative "EITHER-OR" one.Something they all have in common, for the most part, is that they spend the bulk of their time sharing the findings of recent research and studies in order to dispel our common-sense assumptions, and only after that leave a bit of space for talking about what to do with the new information. Decisive, on the other hand, starts with the new perspectives, explains them a little, then spends the bulk of its time sharing ways we can make better decisions in light of that information. It's less theoretical and idea-based, much more practical and applied.And here's where I regret "reading" this book as an audio, because now that I've finished it I want to go back and revisit many parts to study them and consolidate my learning. Unfortunately, there is a long waiting list for our copies of the print book, so I won't be doing that in time to include specific thoughts in this review. In brief, the authors describe a process to follow when making decisions that will help counteract many of the tendencies that steer us wrong. It's not necessarily a step-by-step formula since each decision is unique and every context requires something different, but it provides guidance and a series of checks and balances to make sure we are properly considering the issue from a variety of helpful facets.They abbreviate the process WRAP, which breaks down--with subcategories--as:Widen Your Options - Avoid a narrow frame - Multitrack - Find someone who's solved your problemsReality-Test Your Assumptions - Consider the opposite - Zoom out, zoom in - OochAttain Distance Before Deciding - Overcome short-term emotion - Honor your core prioritiesPrepare to Be Wrong - Bookend the Future - Set a TripwireEach point requires the explanations from the book to understand the authors' perspective (especially "ooch"; definition 2 here is vaguely in line with their meaning)--particularly since so much of it is about overcoming commonly accepted truths and operational habits that we unconsciously accept as acceptable--but I think it will be a very helpful process to get in the habit of following, with guidance from the material once it's in my hands.If I have one complaint about the book, it's that the Heaths spend a little too much time describing the fine details of the real-world examples they use to illustrate all of their points and not enough dwelling in the world of ideas that I love so much. I would have been happier had they tipped the balance of information to case studies and exemplification in the other direction. But, then, this is a book for practitioners.-----*Okay, I haven't finished the last one yet; I had both it and Decisive checked out and was considering which to make my next listen, and fairly randomly went with Decisive. I immediately regretted it when, in the introduction, the Heaths mentioned Thinking, Fast and Slow and Predictably Irrational as the two most important titles to read for background information on the studies and theories they worked from in writing this book. I'm now a few discs into it.
This book has become my go-to reference for rational thinking and decision making. Highly rational and successful people will know most of the tricks in the book, but I haven't seen it codified in a single place before. The well-read in this area will already be familiar with much of the research: Kahneman, Ariely, Thaler, Roberto, Carroll, and so on. The topics:1) Widen your options. There are never only just two choices, think about opportunity costs, or creative ways to get everything. Find someone who's solved the same problem in the same or different domain.2) Reality-test your assumptions. What would it take for your assumptions to be wrong? Can you test your assumptions?3) Attain distance before deciding. Get away from short-term emtions. Define your core priorities.4) Prepare to be wrong. Define "bookends" that are acceptable operating boundaries. Set a tripwire where you'll shift gets. What if you're "too" successful?I recommend this book to anyone aspiring to rationality or already believes that he's rational. It's an easy read and will probably teach something to anyone.
I've only read the first chapter so far, but I have to mark it as read to leave some notes :)"An American Bar Association survey found that 44% of lawyers would recommend that a young person not pursue a career in law." - p5"[The researchers] asked the teams about their decision process--the softer, less analytical side of the decisions. Had the team explicitly discussed what was still uncertain about the decision? Did they include perspectives that contradicted the senior executive's point of view? Did they elicit participation from a range of people who had different views of the decision?...they found that 'process mattered more than analysis--by a factor of six.'" - p7"[we have] the tendency to define our choices to narrowly, to see them in binary terms." - p10Summary = "WRAP" (p18 on)"1. You encounter a choice. But narrow framing makes you miss options....So WIDEN your options.""2. You analyze your options. But the confirmation bias leads you to gather self-serving info....So REALITY-TEST your assumptions.""3. You make a choice. But short-term emotion will often tempt you to make the wrong one....So ATTAIN distance before deciding.""4. Then you live with it. But you'll often be overconfident about how the future will unfold....So PREPARE to be wrong."
I feel life seems difficult because of this 'decision' making thing.Decision isn't just what one chooses to do rather it 'flows' from one's life to another. Our decisions not only affect our lives but other people's lives around us. In the same way, other people or institution's decisions affect us - sometimes make us happy, sometimes make us suffer !Umm, this type of books sound captivating, trying to make decision making easier & meaningful.How we can make better decisions not shading off our ego, short term emotions, overconfidence. This book is about making positive decisions but after all there are people who make negative decisions or make decisions that cause sufferings to other people. I wonder if there's any wayto check these negative decisions so that other people will not have to suffer for them !
The book won't necessarily make you more decisive, but it will make you more confident in making your decisions. I know I sometimes agonize over major life decisions, and this book has given me the tools to not get so stressed out about whether I am making the right choice or not. Everyone who thinks pro/con lists are the only way to make decisions, or the best way to make decisions, is seriously misinformed and needs to read this book.I'm not sure "ooching" is always practical, but I like the word. I love the idea of setting trip wires, and asking yourself "what would you tell your best friend to do?"
Listened to this as an audiobook through my public library's Overdrive subscription/e-book lending experience. Books like this are hard for me to sit down and read, no matter how engagingly written. I actually had the hardcover out from the library as well, and couldn't get even deeply into the first chapter. Just doesn't engage, my brain wanders off immediately. Sad. I used to read tons of prose. (I think the Internet broke me - Reddit especially).Anyway, overall this felt a little fluffy - like there were good observational ideas there, and as long as you fully committed to the thinking/are direction practices espoused, you'll see marked improvements in those crucial decision moments. For the rest of us, looking for a quick fix and some mental shortcuts around the hard work of examining our lazy demons and why we're content with not achieving to our potential? Meh, interesting stories and probably a few things that will ring far-off bells in the future.Cliff Notes for self in the future:- To simplify a decision: "What would I tell my best friend to do in this situation?"- To reduce chance of personal bias overriding rational data: "Search for disconfirming evidence"- To overcome short-term resistance: "10, 10, 10 - think how you'd feel 10 minutes from making the decision, 10 months, and ten years"- To accelerate decisions where there's not enough viable data: "perform a small experiment that will provide real-world feedback (an 'ooch')
No more checking Heath & Heath books out of the library to check out their merit. This is 3 for 3 for, "I need this on my shelf as a reference, to lend to friends, to reference in presentations, to..."If you make perfect decisions, don't read it. If you want to improve, this is full of practical, effective methods.
Key takeaway: When you make a decision, follow the WRAP-process: Widen your Options, Reality-test your assumptions, Attain distance before deciding, and Prepare to be wrong.
An easy read (full of fun anecdotes!) that provides a solid framework for decision making. Most people have probably used bits and pieces of the methods mentioned here and there, but never so consciously or methodically. The point is to stick to a thorough process so we can ward off cognitive biases and keep our own egos and short term emotions in check. I found the advice practical and applicable to work and everyday life.
A pretty good sign for the value received in a book is how many blog postings can you get out of it. If you count this book review, "Decisive," has generated three postings for me -- a good return.In their book "Decisive," Chip and Dan Heath suggest that to make the most effective choices we need to go beyond the way we have traditionally made decisions individually or in group environments. They identified four "villains" of decision making that interfere with making good choices: narrow framing, confirmation bias, short-term emotion, and overconfidence. I look at these "villains" through a complex systems, collective impact community lens at http://www.workingdifferently.org/4/p... There I show show how the habits developed in working differently communities help vanquish these villains (See: Seven Habits of Highly Effective Communities http://www.workingdifferently.org/4/p...).They then introduce the WRAP process to help us become better decision-makers by vanquishing the Four Villains: Widen your options; Reality check your options; Attain distance before deciding; and, Prepare to be wrong. Though they spend most of the book describing the process, it isn't until the "Case Studies" at the end of the book that the authors truly breath life into WRAP. Which is the subject of another blog.The ground the brothers Heath stake-out is pretty much the anti-Blink (Malcolm Gladwell) and the non-neuronic How We Decide (Josh Lehrer). It is a self-help check list / process that comes together in the last chapter. It is definitely worth reviewing in the face of important decisions.
Another book from the Heath brothers that focuses on decision making.The book offers a very practical framework for decision making which helps you overcome the pitfalls you may face when making a decision. Examples of pitfalls include narrow framing, confirmation bias, over confidence, etc.The book goes on to offer a process called WRAP which helps you make better life decisions. WRAP stands for:Widen your optionsReality-test your ideasAttain distance before decidingPrepare to be wrongThe book is well written and contains various real case studies that help drive the point home. An absolutely recommended read.
Although I have read most of reference books mentioned in Decisive, Yet I hadn't put together practical techniques and advices for every day decision making. That is what this book had for me, a model (WRAP) for day to day application and constant practice.
I received a pre-publication galley of this book as a Goodreads giveaway. I enjoyed reading Chip & Dan Heath's research into the biases that often unconsciously guide individuals and corporations in making decisions, how these biases can lead to poor choices, and the four-stop process the Heath brothers developed to help people make better decisions. This book will merit re-reading to help absorb all the steps and options they discuss. However, the examples and anecdotes they provide make reading this book entertaining, as well as helping cement some of their points in my memory.
I'm glad to have read it. Enforced what I've learned over time to be good practices (e.g. bookending future outcomes) and introduced me to new techniques (e.g. 10/10/10, ooching). The read itself was slightly laborious in the middle, hence 4 stars for me. Felt like I was attending lectures mid-semester, getting hit with one topic after another without a break. Once I had the end in sight and wrapped my head around the whole book (no pun intended), felt like it was a journey well worth taking.
الكتاب نافع ومميز في طرح موضوع اتخاذ القرارات. الأخوان هيث لهم أسلوب سلس ومركز و متسلسل على شكل نقاط في كتبهم مثل made to stick. وجدت أول الكتاب أكثر تشويقا وفائدة من الفصول الأخيرة . و أظن أن بعض النقاط كانت واضحة بدون الحاجة إلى مزيد من الأمثلة المطولة. الكتاب يساعد على انتاج قرارات أفضل في مجال الحياة والعمل . و فيه من الإضاءات العلمية ما يجعلك تتفهم كثير من قراراتك السابقة و كثير من قرارات من حولك. وغالب ما تغالبه داخليا ويغالبك في قراراتك الحالية . أنصح بقراءته....
As far as the content and concept is concerned, I'd give this a 5/5. The WRAP process is well-thought out, and explained well. I'd give a 3/5 for length, simply because I don't think this book needed to be as long as it is. (So we'll split the difference and go with a 4/5).
Most of us, when faced with a major decision, tend to make lists - whether on paper or mentally - of pros and cons. Occasionally we go so far as to use the Benjamin Franklin method and weight these lists, but that's often as far as rational decision making goes. We fall back on decisions where "it feels right" or "I have a gut instinct about this one".That's not a great method, but it's usually the best we've got. In Decisive, Chip & Dan Heath explain, demonstrate and teach new practices which are easy to implement and which use a simple 4-step process. First you're introduced to "The Four Villains of Decision Making", and then shown four strategies to combat them. There's no one-size-fits-all solution for how these are implemented; for me, this is the strength of the book. Each chapter offers numerous ways to put these strategies into effect. Actively seeking out disagreement, looking for options that can be run in parallel (AND not OR), setting a tripwire, expanding a "Should I...?" to "What's the best way to...?" and creating mental distance by looking 10 minutes, 10 months, 10 years ahead with each path (what they call 10/10/10) are all part of it. In fact, all but one approach (using a mission statement to create focus) were completely new to me and very different from any other decision-making process I've seen before, and so obviously useful once they were pointed out.Unlike many books of this type, this isn't targeted to one specific audience, not is it a book for people in the business/finance sector. It doesn't require concentrated attention to understand, or for you to read long chapters in one sitting to follow a complicated chain of logic. It's broken into quick-to-read sections with bullet-point summaries and references to all the studies backing up their claims. The variety of scenarios, set in the music industry, in business, and in personal lives, and the variety of angles all serve to ensure that something is directly relevant to the reader, and all illustrate the Heaths' theory perfectly. There are even some "clinics" (practice scenarios) for you to consider at the end, along with some common question/answers.Even if all you read is the introduction and Chapter One, you'll find yourself able to think and decide in a different way. If you want an overview, skim through the book and read the "in one page" summaries which conclude each chapter. It won't take long, and you'll still get some benefit (and hopefully you'll go back and read the rest). This is one I'll be rereading. No doubt it will take practise for this new decision style to become instinctive rather than a conscious choice, but that's the way of all things.
About the Book:Chip and Dan Heath, the bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick, tackle one of the most critical topics in our work and personal lives: how to make better decisions. Research in psychology has revealed that our decisions are disrupted by an array of biases and irrationalities: We're overconfident. We seek out information that supports us and downplay information that doesn't. We get distracted by short-term emotions. When it comes to making choices, it seems, our brains are flawed instruments. Unfortunately, merely being aware of these shortcomings doesn't fix the problem, any more than knowing that we are nearsighted helps us to see. The real question is: How can we do better? In Decisive, the Heaths, based on an exhaustive study of the decision-making literature, introduce a four-step process designed to counteract these biases. Written in an engaging and compulsively readable style, Decisive takes readers on an unforgettable journey, from a rock star's ingenious decision-making trick to a CEO's disastrous acquisition, to a single question that can often resolve thorny personal decisions. Along the way, we learn the answers to critical questions like these: How can we stop the cycle of agonizing over our decisions? How can we make group decisions without destructive politics? And how can we ensure that we don't overlook precious opportunities to change our course? Decisive is the Heath brothers' most powerful—and important—book yet, offering fresh strategies and practical tools enabling us to make better choices. Because the right decision, at the right moment, can make all the difference.My Review:Overall this book is a good one to help with business type decisions especially if you tend to fail at decisions regarding business and the like. The authors in writing this book are trying to convey that a lot of our decisions can be based on many psychological factors. I for one would of not chosen this book for myself because I'm not really business minded but if you are trying to rationalize the decisions you have made regarding such than this is the book for you.**Disclosure** This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review by Waterbrook Multnomah through the Blogging for Books program.
Are you going to make any important decisions this year? Or at any time in the future? Then I recommend that you first read Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work, by Chip Heath and Dan Heath.At some point, you've probably made at least one bad choice in your life. I'm not talking about ordering "Death by Chocolate" with extra whipped cream after a large meal. But a poor decision that had a significant negative impact on your personal or business life. You want to avoid similar painful experiences in the future.To help you escape those errors, the Heaths distilled the results of their research into a process they call WRAP:Widen your optionsReality-test your assumptionsAttain distance before decidingPrepare to be wrongThe book is broken out into sections that focus on each step of the process. Chip and Dan include studies and anecdotes to demonstrate the benefits of each step, as well as the consequences when people fail to follow a wise course of action. Some of the stories are famous examples of good and bad decisions, while others are based on the Heaths' clients.The WRAP process can't guarantee that you'll make a good decision every time. But the odds are in your favor when you follow these four easy steps.
Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by the same authors was so good that I added this and another to my to-read list simply because I was interested in what these guys had to say, since they said it so well. This book is another great swing at taking a problem, analyzing it in an organized way, and presenting solutions that can help you make important decisions in your life.They describe decision-making as a process and provide an acronym, WRAP, to represent four areas in which you can work to correct for your biases while making decisions. Many of the techniques are practical and helpful, and while they won't eliminate human bias and limited thinking, they should help. I've stumbled across some of them myself and they've been some of the techniques I've valued most. The last book was good enough I decided to buy it, and I'm pretty sure this one is too.
About the authors: Brothers Dan Heath (Senior Fellow at Duke University, supporting social entrepreneurs) and Chip Heath (Professor in the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University) are the authors of international bestsellers Switch and Made to Stick.The book identifies the main issues that typically stand in the way of decision making: a narrow view on our problems, short-term emotions, and overconfidence when it comes to predicting the future. It gives knowledgeable insight into how our decisions are formed and how to avoid making bad ones.My highlights:What is in it for me: making decisions is hard, let's learn how to do it right.Our decision-making isn't ideal: we think too narrowly; we're biased by previous choices, personal values and short-term emotions; and we're overconfident about our decisions.When you get stuck making a decision, don't artificially limit your choices.Consider the whole array of alternative options available to you.Consider teenagers. They often get stuck making decisions: Should I smoke cigarettes or not? Should I go to the party or not?It's clear that these aren't decisions that consider alternatives among multiple options. They're just votes for or against a single option. The decision to go to that party or not, for instance, could be made a lot easier if the teen would consider that they could also go to the movies, or watch a football game. Another way to help you find your way out of a sticky decision is to consider the "opportunity cost" of your decision. In other words, what will you be giving up by making this choice?When problem-solving, don't pursue just one idea; multitrack many options to find the best solution.Multitracking – or, actively trying out several options simultaneously – and it can improve the decision-making process dramatically.By having more alternatives, you're less invested in any single one, and therefore allow yourself to be more flexible in your opinion.Another is that, when weighing multiple options, you always have a Plan B at hand. If Plan A fails, you have a fallback candidate.However, you should beware of choice overload, as too many options may paralyze your decision-making.Look at the solutions someone else has found for the same problem.What you see as your problem may have already been solved by someone else. You just don't notice it because their problem is slightly different.To shake off any bias in your decisions, play devil's advocate and try and build a case against your decision.Consider what would have to be true to make your least favorite option, or just the other options, the best choice.By doing this, you're not arguing for or against personal preferences, but instead analyzing the logical constraints of the options and allowing for disagreement without generating antagonism.Ask disconfirming questions to surface opposing information.Think about how your situation looks from the outside.Although we often believe our situation is unique, it benefits us to look at how others in a similar situation have fared. We're usually more alike than we tend to believe.Rather than make a plan, run a small experiment to see if your idea works.In many situations it's wise to dip your toe in the water, rather than dive in headfirst. This process of testing ideas on a small scale is called ooching.Instead of mulling endlessly over whether you should commit to a certain option, it is a good idea to first give it a try on a smaller scale.To get some perspective on your decision, shift your focus to the futureTechniques for encouraging our brains to consider long-term consequences.The first is to find emotional distance by imagining the outcomes from a future perspective.This is because present emotions are often very clear and precise, while future emotions are not yet well-defined.10/10/10: Actively consider future emotions by asking yourself how you would feel about your decision 10 minutes, 10 months, and 10 years from now.The second technique is to take the observer's perspective.By looking at your decision from an observer's perspective – from a distance – the most important aspects will seem obvious to you.When your decisions are based on conflicting values, identify your core priorities.Sometimes our decisions aren't distracted by short-term emotions, but by an unclear order of priorities in our lives.Find your core priorities. Ask yourself: "Which long-term emotional values, goals or aspirations are most important to me?"Once you've found your core priorities, you must commit yourself to acting on them. We only have a limited time in our lives, so spending more time on core priorities cannot be achieved without limiting the time we spend on other things.What are you prepared to give up so you'll have more time to spend on your core priorities?To prepare for the consequences of your decisions, think of the future as a range rather than a point.Consider both the worst and best possible outcomes, as this will allow you to estimate where you are at a given point, and react when reality moves closer to the worst outcome. To do this, you can use prospective hindsight – the notion that we can cognitively evaluate facts better than possibilities – to your advantage.When you schedule your next project, consider on the one hand the importance of meeting the deadline and, on the other, the time that you expect the project to take, and add a safety factor for your own benefit.Set a tripwire to shift from autopilot to manual control and enforce a decision.Set deadlines and partitions to keep yourself from falling into bad habits. Deadlines help us enforce a decision that we'd otherwise procrastinate on.Use labels to recognize disturbing (or encouraging) patterns.Final summaryWhen you make a decision, follow the WRAP-process: Widen your Options, Reality-test your assumptions, Attain distance before deciding, and Prepare to be wrong.
I don't want to call this book "common sense" because I just finished ripping up another business book based on the "common sense" paradigm. Common sense is not good enough, you need a preponderance of evidence out of the hierarchy of scientific evidence to make business advice- there is no shortage of data about businesses, to do otherwise is lazy and potentially misleading.Fortunately, this book combines practical advice (and I think when people claim "common sense" what they really mean is "practical") with substantive background information on why to use it. Their steps are extremely practical and very important in business. Everything I learned in MBA school about social psychology suggests that we are pretty much hard wired to drive our lives and our businesses off a cliff- this book is very practical and concrete and proven steps you can take to re-route away from destruction.
Chip and Dan have done it again. Like their previous two bestsellers, Decisive takes an idea from a deep thinker (in this case Thinking Fast and Slow's Daniel Kahneman), simplifies it, turns it into a readily digestible action plan, and wraps it in stories. In this case, it's all about the lousy track record we have for making decisions. Here's how to do it better. First, recognize you have four biases that push you to making bad decisions: narrow framing, confirmation bias, short-term emotion, and overconfidence in the future. To combat these, widen your options, reality-test your assumptions, get distance, and prepare to be wrong. Brilliant clarity and another example of the Heath brothers' uncanny ability to simplify and make actionable. I'd be very surprised if Decisive wasn't another bestseller.
Honestly, this is not a book I would usually pick up and read. But it was sent to me for review and there were a few parts that I found interesting. There are multiple stories that include some type of choice, and then examples of what could happen and what did happen. Some of the titles include: The Four Villains of Decision Making, Overcome Short-Term Emotion, Consider the Opposite, and Trusting the Process.I don't really like the way that the book is set up and organized, it made it rather difficult to follow at times. But if you are interested in this type of research of decision making, you will like this book."I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah in exchange for an honest review".
Chip and Dan Heath explore the process of decision making and share their research results in this quick read. All of their findings are easy to apply and make sense - mostly because they call for prudence and commitment to a process. I suppose the fundamental take away is; slow down and consider the alternative. "Decisive" is a good read that fill benefit anyone who takes the time to put into practice what has proven itself through research and application. The perspectives offered make sense because they are practical, pragmatic and effective with take-aways that can be garnered/applied to whatever challenges may arise.
Decisive – How to make Better Choices in Life and Work. God's blessed me with some pretty good decision making skills, so when this book was recommended I was a little reluctant, but I'm glad that I took the time to read it. I really liked all the examples from Sam Walton's plagiarism and Kodak's mistakes to a college guy using the 10-10-10 method to decide whether or not to call a girl he met in class. Decisive provides a process for making decisions and while processes aren't very "sexy" having a process does give confidence when making decisions and this book provided more "tools in my toolbox" for decision making.
Solid advice. The ideas are not particularly novel, e.g. piloting an idea before taking it to full scale, but that's time-tested wisdom-- as opposed to the flim-flam in other books on decision-making (e.g. Jonah Lehrer's How We Decide). The writing style is a nice accessible middle ground between academic boring and gee-whiz ridiculous. I think this book could be helpful to many readers, especially young people.Given the cover, I was hoping for a thorough discussion of the Magic 8 Ball, but it is not part of the authors' recommended protocol.

The saying that cats are lonesome riders is a myth. They get lonely the same way a dog gets when left alone for most of the day. Especially when cats are raised at an early age without mother, they can become very attached to people, following you around and wanting to be near you every minute.
Certainly the younger the cat, the more essential is a companion. In order to ensure proper development of personality, learning of social skills and development of confidence, no kitten younger than 4 months should grow up on its own!
In general, two cats don't make much more effort. Most of the time they share one litter box and the food bowl (although we recommend to have two of each in a different place for comfort). They keep each other stimulated with cat-
Unquestionably, if you are working all day and your cat is alone for more than 6+ hours per day, you should consider for sure to get two cats. Cats can get bored and lonely and signs of depression can change the personality of your little furry friend. Therefore, if you come home from work and don't have the time or energy anymore to play with your furry companion, give him a 4-
Also, this makes going away for the weekend easier for everybody. You don't need to board the cats and they don't need to go through the stress of a changed environment. Just put out some additional food and water bowl and litter boxes, get a friend or neighbour to check on them once a day and you don't have to worry about the kitties left behind for a couple of nights.

DEFIANT Londoners returned to the Tube and the buses today, determined to carry on with their lives the day after terrorists brought carnage to the capital.
Although there were fewer commuters than usual, hundreds of thousands of people made their daily journeys into a city which still bore the scars of yesterday's co-ordinated terror attacks.
As the capital prepared to mark the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War this weekend, there was the same resolve that life would go on - whatever the terrorists had hoped to achieve.
A huge manhunt is under way to find the bombers, who killed more than 40 people during 56 minutes of hell which terrorised the capital.
Home Secretary Charles Clarke said all efforts were being concentrated on catching the bombers, to stop them striking again.
He said: "The number one purpose is to identify the perpetrators and arrest them.
"There is obviously a danger if there is a group that has committed these attacks not brought to justice and therefore able to continue thinking about further attacks.
"That is, of course, the number one preoccupation the police and security services have at this moment," he added.
Mr Clarke said the Government was taking seriously a claim on a website from an al Qaida group that it was responsible.
The Home Secretary defended the decision to lower the level of security threat in the capital before the attacks, saying that all the security services thought the risk had got "slightly lower".
"Obviously, it was wrong," he said. "We have looked very carefully at the threat we are now under, particularly in the light of events yesterday, and the threat level will be increased."
He agreed that the authorities had "absolutely no idea" yesterday's attacks were being planned.
But he denied claims that London's security had been compromised because of Metropolitan Police officers being at the G8 summit in Scotland.
Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has vowed that the culprits will be brought to justice, was expected to return to London later today after the final session of the G8 summit in Gleneagles.
Anti-terrorist detectives are investigating the possibility that Britain was subjected to its first suicide bombing after the series of co-ordinated, no warning strikes in the centre of London.
A passenger on the double- decker bus ripped apart in one of the four blasts said he saw an "extremely agitated" man rummaging in a bag just seconds before the explosion.
Police put the confirmed death toll at 37, but that looked set to rise with 95 seriously injured among the 300 casualties taken to hospital.
Police sources said more than 40 people had died and Australian Prime Minister John Howard told reporters in Canberra that the death toll was 52.
* The Queen and the Prince of Wales were today visiting people caught up in the bomb tragedy.
Scotland Yard said there would be an increased visible police presence across the capital today.
Extra patrols were to include officers from the Met, City of London Police and British Transport Police.
* Scotland Yard has issued a casualty hotline number, 0870 1566 344.

By Dr Megan Chircop
Visceral fat is the fat which is inside the abdominal cavity. You can't feel it! However, a protruding belly and large waist are two signs that you have too much of it. However, this is not always the case, even "skinny" people can carry excess visceral fat and are therefore at an increased risk of serious health issues (1).
The fat that you do see, is called subcutaneous fat and sits on the outside of the abdominal cavity, overlying the abdominal muscles. This is what most people think of when they say they are 'fat' or overweight. However, from a health perspective, they should be more concerned about visceral fat.
Visceral fat is sometimes referred to as 'active fat' because research has shown that this type of fat plays a distinctive and potentially dangerous role affecting how our hormones function.
Visceral fat in males vs females as you age
Visceral fat accumulates throughout life, particularly in males.
Female sex hormones tend to promote fat deposition peripherally, especially over the buttocks and thighs (and also the breasts, but to a variable extent among different individuals) - lucky you if you are an hourglass or pear shape.
However, after menopause, females start to accumulate their fat more centrally, and visceral fat can become an issue.
Visceral fat increases risk of diseases
Studies have shown that excess visceral fat is linked to a higher risk of the following diseases (2, 3, 4):
How to measure visceral fat?
The only way to definitively diagnose visceral fat is with a CT or MRI scan. However, these are expensive and time-consuming procedures.
Harvard University notes that around 10% of our total fat is likely to be stored as visceral fat, therefore if you are carrying higher amounts of body fat than is recommended, it is therefore more likely that you are also storing more visceral fat than is healthy. If you calculate your total body fat (using a bioimpedence body composition scan or calipers) and then take 10 percent of it, you can estimate your amount of visceral fat. Visceral fat is often evaluated on a scale of 1 to 59 when diagnosed with body fat analyzers or MRI scans. Healthy levels of visceral fat stay under 13. If your rating is 13–59, immediate lifestyle changes are recommended.
A relatively good indicator and cheaper way of assessing visceral fat is to take a waistline measurement. Even if you weight and body mass index (BMI) is in the healthy range, a large waist line can put you at risk of developing those diseases mentioned above, particularly diabetes and heart disease. According to Harvard Medical School, if you are a woman your waist should not exceed 34.5 inches (about 88 cm) and if you are a male 40 inches (about 100 cm) to minimise your risk of disease. However, others studies recommended that people should be even more stringent and limit waist circumference to 80 cm in women and 94 cm in men.
Note: Even if you have a low body fat rate, you may have a high visceral fat level. For medical diagnosis, consult your doctor.
Stress increases visceral fat
The stress hormone cortisol can actually increase how much visceral fat your body stores. It can be a bit of a vicious cycle, because stress not only causes your body to store visceral fat but it can also increase your appetite for fatty, sugary, processed foods that will also cause you to put on weight, most often visceral fat.
Stress is also linked to poor gut health and an overgrowth of bad bacteria, which feed off junk food, also leading to an increase in visceral fat.
It is therefore not surprising that despite our society having a very conscious mind about health and nutrition, that our waist lines are continuing to expand with the increasing stressful demands of our hectic lives. This is a rather scary thought for what our health will look like in the future if we don't start to address the underlying issues. Yes, fueling your body with good food and moving your body is important (& essential to good health and "feeling good in your own skin"), but these are only band-aid solutions if you are chronically stressed.
How to get rid of visceral fat
The good news is that visceral fat is much easier to shrink than subcutaneous fat. The sorts of strategies you can employ to reduce visceral fat levels include:
Eat well - Follow a healthy, well-balanced diet. Eliminate processed, high-sugar, high-fat foods from your diet, and include more lean proteins, vegetables, and complex carbs like sweet potatoes, beans, and lentils. Avoid over-consumption of fats in your diet (no more than 40% of your daily calorie intake, and no less than 20% of your daily calorie intake; replace saturated fats (usually sourced from meat, eggs and dairy) with unsaturated fats (found in vegetable oils such as olive oil, as well as nuts).
If you are overweight or have a waist line that puts in at risk of disease you may want to think about eating a little less, i.e. calorie deficit (this is easily achieved by tracking your food intake or with an appropriate meal plan designed by a professional health practitioners such as myself - click here if you would like advice & support).
Move more - Ideally, do 30 minutes of cardio 5 days a week and strength training at least 3 times per week. Cardio is aerobic exercise such as biking, running, circuit training, and will aid in burning fat. Strength training will also burn excess caloric intake but most importantly will build muscle tissue which will make you stronger as well as burn fat tissue at rest.
Reduce the stress in your life - practice meditation, deep breathing, and stress management tactics.
Tracking your progress – measure your "waist circumference" daily and averaging it out over the week, then watch for changes over the course of weeks. If it has been more than 2 weeks since the average waist circumference has changed, then you need to either move more or eat less. Seek medical advice for a thorough diagnosis.

There're both Appointments+ and BuddyPress plugins active on site. A+ is set to not auto-confirm appointments and to let service providers set their own hours and to confirm their appointments. A service provider should see his/her appointments in BuddyPress profile and be able to confirm them there.
With WPLMS Instructor theme they can see both Appointments tabs in BP profile but "My appointments as a service provider" one is empty. Switching to default (Twenty Seventeen) theme immediately "fixes" that so there's some incompatibility.
