Hello!

Do you remember this situation from high school physics?

You were supposed to calculate "the work done" by a constant Force (F)

exerted on the car by moving it over a distance s.

At school you learned to take the product of the magnitudes of Force F,

distance s and the cosine of the angle between F and s.

This quantity is often written as F dot s and is called the dot product of Force and Displacement

if you regard Force and Displacement as vectors!

The big dot in the notation explains the name.

In this slide we used vector notation.

That's the reason that we wrote the magnitudes of the force and the displacement

of the previous slide as the lengths of the vectors F and s.

A disadvantage of calculating the dot product in this geometrical way is that you have to know

the angle between the vectors and the lengths.

Often however the components of the vectors are given and then the angle is hard to compute.

But If that's the case, I have good news:

then there is a much easier algebraic way to calculate the dot product!

Let's look how this works.

It is shown for two general three dimensional vectors a and b.

To calculate the dot product you just have to multiply the first components of the two vectors,

then the second ones and at last the third ones.

Adding the results gives the dot product.

With a little practice everyone can do it!

This is our formal definition of the dot product of two three dimensional vectors.

The dot product of two two dimensional vectors is defined in a similar fashion.

Here is a two-dimensional example:

Suppose the force F is the vector with components minus 4 and 3

and suppose you have moved the car over a distance of 3 meters.

Since the displacement is horizontal and in negative direction

you can describe this with a vector with components minus 3 and 0.

The work done is the dot product of the vectors F and s.

With our new formula you can simply calculate this dot product as the sum of the products

of the corresponding components.

In this example the answer is 12.

And now the three-dimensional case.

Suppose two vectors are given.

The dot product is then easily calculated,

again multiply the corresponding components

and add the results.

In this case the answer is minus 13.

In class I would let you think about the question that's on the slide now.

The dot product of a two and a three dimensional vector is asked for.

The answer is that it is not defined.

So remember:

only dot products of vectors with the same dimension can be calculated!

Before connecting the two different ways of calculating the dot product of two vectors,

one with a geometric approach and the other with an algebraic approach,

I will show you some nice properties to do meaningful calculations.

Let's have a look at these properties, valid for vectors of the same dimension.

The first states that the dot product is commutative,

a property well known from ordinary multiplication with numbers.

With numbers you are also used to the second property which combines the dot product with the sum,

better known as the distributive law.

The third property states the connection between dot product and scalar multiplication of vectors.

The fourth property, which is somewhat different, is easy to understand.

Think about it!

It states that the dot product of a vector and itself equals the square of its length.

A property that you are going to use often.

Especially the first three properties make you think that calculations with the dot product

are more or less the same as calculations with numbers.

But be careful!!

Some weird things can occur.

Curious?

Make the exercises!

One of these weird things is the fact that the dot product of three vectors isn't defined.

One reason for this is that the dot product of two vectors is a scalar.

The properties given here can all be checked by using the definition of the dot product.

Some of them are left to you as an exercise.

This example shows how you can use these properties to write the distance between two vectors

as a sum of dot products.

Useful since a geometrical approach is connected with an algebraic approach!

Using the fourth property you first write the square of the distance as a dot product.

Now using the first three properties you can rewrite the result as sum of dot products.

Now you of course want to know what the connection is between the geometric approach

this video is started with and the algebraic approach introduced a little later.

It appears to be a direct consequence of the well known Cosine Law which gives the connection

between the lengths of the three sides of a triangle and one of its angles.

Applying this law on the triangle formed by the common starting point and the two endpoints of two vectors,

you get the result as shown here in terms of lengths of vectors.

You can use the formula derived on the previous slide to rewrite the left hand side in terms of the dot product.

A little rewriting gives the connection searched for.

You may try to do it by yourself in the exercises.

All nice math,

but what else can be done with this concept!

Watch the next video to discover this!

But it's better to practice a little bit first.

HOW TO RAISE HAPPY KIDS - EFFECTIVE PARENTING TIPS BY MRS RITA IYER II - Duration: 3:08.

Good morning friends..I'm Rita & today I'm going to talk about parenting.

A subject which is very close to my heart.

Parenting is a very humongous task.

It is emotionally fulfilling and rewarding but at times it is physically draining.

The way I shape up my child, the kind of love & support I give to my child

The kind of environment I give to my child, goes a long way in raising a very happy child.

As a parent whenever anybody is asking me, "What do you want for your child"?

I always say, "I want my child to be happy".

But, how do I make my child happy?

In this video we are going to talk about "How to raise toddlers into happy human beings"

Who are emotionally secured and content as well.

We can get down to the floor with our child & play with the child.

Jump on the floor, zoom the cars, read story books.

Dress up the dolls, mimic some sounds, rub cheeks together.

Let us try to have a happy environment at home which is safe and secured.

We just try to have a happy relationship with our child and with our partner as well.

At times it is difficult to have happy times together at home because of various challenges we face.

But it can hamper the growth of our child.

Yes, it indeed can.

Although a child can't understand what we are talking or

The way we are behaving or our facial expressions

That we feel.. but research has proven

That the kind of environment we give to our child and the love & the support

A child receives in his crucial years, go a long way in raising a fulfilling and a happy child.

If the child does't receive a safe and secure environment at home

He might get into mental disorder like anorexia or drug abuse or sexuality or bad company & bad behaviour.

When we gave a safe and secure environment to our child, we can raise happy human beings.

Who are socially and emotionally strong.

We need to work on our behaviour, to raise happy children.

We have to give love and support to our child.

Constantly, although it is taxing at times.

But my dear friends research has proven that what matters the most

Is providing unconditional love to our children.

And making them feel valued, secured and wanted.

That's all from me for now.

What is Orthogonal Projection? - Mathematics for Engineers - Vectors - TU Delft - Duration: 1:45.

Hi there!

Let's have another look at the moving car.

If you want to compute the force that causes the car to move forward, here is what you need to do.

Suppose the car is dragged along by a constant force F under an angle alpha.

The force F can be decomposed into two perpendicular forces:

a vertical force lifting the car,

and a horizontal one causing the car to move.

This horizontal force (minus the friction) is the force that actually makes the car move forward,

so we need to calculate the blue vector!

In a general setting the situation is as follows:

Given two vectors u and v, you want to find vectors u1 and u2,

such that u1 has the same direction as v,

u2 and v are orthogonal

and the sum of the blue vector and the yellow vector equals the green vector u.

The vector u1 is called the orthogonal projection of u onto v.

There is even a separate notation for it.

Imagine light shining from above onto u then u1 is in fact the shadow of u on v.

In the next video you will learn how to actually calculate orthogonal projections.

You should now do the following exercises to internalize the meaning of the concept just introduced.

This is really needed to understand the calculations done in the next video.

04 How to effectively tackle risk to avoid signing up to a nasty surprise - Neil Earnshaw - Duration: 28:38.

morning everybody welcome back my name's Neil Earnshaw from neconsult and I'm

here to talk to you about effectively tackling risk to avoid nasty surprises

we heard already this morning from a couple of large programs work where

hopefully nasty surprises are being be mitigated said to be earning from

Crossrail's point of view I think with that value of work that number of

conversation events to have got into such a strong position by the stages is

testament to the amount of work that's gone in and some of the the problems

that have been avoided that I'm going to talk to you about so yes I'm going to

talk to you about how to enter into contracts with appropriate risk

allocation that's clear understood and good value for money I'm going to

explain a bit about what the EC state about risk and compensation events and

how we should interpret this and then hopefully give you some practical tips

that help us deal with risk effectively in compensation events to reduce the

likelihood of them becoming I've used the word contentious okay so firstly

let's have a look at how well we are doing so my central question is here

does the industry really know how to get the most out of any c3 contracts through

managing risk effectively as I said we've seen some good examples this

morning from large programs of work where where that is being done well

however I was looking for some statistics but I put this talk together

to say well actually the large problems were that's absolutely fine you've got

the resources you've got the tip capacity and capability to be able to

have an impact but by value I sort of contention is I think that most of the

work that happens in the construction industry is not on projects like that

most of the projects that we're involved with are the sort of the small or medium

scale project you have things that are sort of you know the still millions of

parents maybe they're just tens of million instead of instead of billions

ok so so yeah but unfortunate I couldn't find any any stats to back me up the RHS

could have provided me all the data I could have spent months analyzing it to

try and work that those numbers out but I I decided at that point I'll just sort

of go with my intuition here so so yes so do we really now have set contracts

up so let's just take a step back and have a look at how we're doing

as you'll see a couple of quotes from a couple of fairly well-known people on

the screen for my constructing excellence report dating back to 2009

and it's positive isn't it as an industry we have transformed through my

career I have seen transformation in terms of how the construction industry

in this country performs however there is a kind of slightly disappointed term

to the both the comments up there I think that we could be doing better so

what's the problem okay again from the same report

published by Chris because routine excellence yes the house big significant

improvement the not on the scale that was anticipated the sorting excellence

demonstration projects putting them superior performance or well done to

them however there's quite damning review here that actually the commitment

is often skin deep scratch beneath the surface and you may find so-called

partners still seek to avoid or exploit risk to maximize their own profits and

find ways to share risk and collaborate genuinely so that all can profit so

that's quite damning criticism that that maybe we're not doing as well as we

think we're doing and maybe we're in danger of believe in our own hype

sometimes and to bring it down to a practical level you know let's be honest

with each other who's been in a meeting where the term

mutual trust and cooperation has been bandied around by people what yeah yeah

and what does it mean when that happens

do you think you're experiencing the exact opposite of that yeah that'd be my

contention that actually what the more you hear it the less of it you're

actually experiencing you shouldn't need to be said so so I do I do sort of agree

with this the constructing excellence report I do feel that on the projects

that I'm involved with as well and again just moving on from 2009 yeah again

we're doing great ministry we have massively improved obvious but we still

have a long way to go some of those indicators are moving backwards and

belief we look at time performance on projects that that's not very good at it

and if you're spending your own money I mean I'm not a gambling man but I

wouldn't gamble on construction with statistics like that would you with your

own money so we've still got a long way to go so really I'm just setting the

scene to say can we do better so if you're a client are your contracts

really linked to clear objective scope and constraints do you spend enough time

thinking about that a downside for the supply chain or your clients contracts

clearly enough define so you can give them your best pricing program and then

for the whole team to really understand how to deal with risk at a post contract

stage I threw the couple a taste of their

process so they're the areas I'm going to focus on you might all recognize this

club but I think I quite like the root cause analysis and whenever I think

about you know where do where did problems come from on the projects I

work on what are the weather things really stem from and it is usually as a

failure to prepare a failure to plan properly enough time hasn't been taken

to think things through at the outset okay so so yeah and that's what I call

creating the conditions for success so let's move into the first the first part

here we'll look at what we can do a pre-contract stage to improve the chance

of having a successful outcome from our projects you all recognize this there

isn't the true same for our contract put rubbish into them you likely to get

rubbish out of them okay how can we avoid that so how do we

develop effective contract strategies so simple for stage process if you like

firstly what are we trying to achieve how we've got clear objectives again

often enough time isn't spent at this stage thinking through what it is we

want a need working out what it is we need to be doing and isn't this why

procurements get abandoned or we need to adjust our budget or all-time

expectations partway through the procurement process when the market is

telling us now you can't have it for that it's going to cost you this or it's

never going to take that long isn't it yeah it's usually a failure to adjust to

clearly define what we're what we're wanting to achieve at the outset that's

of course so yeah so that does lead to nasty surprises the tender stage when

the price comes in too high all the time scales are unrealistic or the market

proposes a solution that we didn't want so it's about defining objectives then

planning the project and I don't just mean Glenn I don't just mean a project

plan here I mean thinking through you know what it is we're trying to achieve

how we're going to achieve it do we need to break the project down into discrete

stages do we need beneficial use of Sur tellement of the project before others

really putting a lot of attention and a lot of detailing at that stage and this

is a long time before we've put pen to paper before we've started to put our

contracts together for all the effort in at the front end and going to improve

the the chances of a successful outcome the name we should look at project risks

and I'll come back onto this in a couple of slides time but at that point once

we've done all that preparation work that's the time we should start putting

pen to paper that's when we're really in a strong position to start being able to

write our contract data our works information our site information because

we've already put the effort into deciding what we need we've planned the

project well so we know what we want and how it's going to be done and we've

identified the key risks and developed strategies for mitigating them because

when the risk management stage breaks down this is I think where we see these

things creeping in we heard in the Crossrail Turki talked earlier about the

question marks whether option C was the right thing to

be used all the time I think sometimes it's used because it's it's maybe the

trendy option and we don't use it for the right reasons maybe so if we haven't

thought about this before we've decided to contract strategy I haven't put

together an effective risk management plan then it's likely that we're going

to choose inappropriate main and secondary options inappropriate are

onerous that Clause is creeping into the contracts our contract data is going to

be completed correctly and we're going to get incomplete vague work information

insight information and also possibly this is where a lot of the legal

boilerplate comes from as well because the person who's put the legal

boilerplate there is at the end of the line the project team has already made a

lot of decisions about how the contracts going to be put together but the person

at the end of the chain has to try and solve all the problems that have been

created trying to mitigate risk for the client before we move forward so I think

a lot of ineffective risk management does lead to potentially unclear risk

allocation which in turn could lead to an increased number of compensation

events which is possibly going to lead to a greater chance of things becoming

contentious and isn't that where unintended consequences and nasty

surprises come probably so let's think about why does this happen again of my

words although I do agree with them government report from 2013 introduced

us to this concept of the optimism bias as you can see we have this term endemic

over optimism when we make decisions to commit to projects we have a form of

collective amnesia I think when were in the early stages of project only we

forget about all that but who do that we never get to it like that again while we

but then we forget about it we failed to actually implement lessons learn

effectively through risk management and we get all the same problems occurring

again so yeah this form of collective amnesia creeps in and this over

opportunism at this stage is like to undermine the success of a project and

lead to substantial cost overruns delays in completion of failure to deliver the

and I can see from some of the sort of expressions around the room if this

isn't just something that the government have come up with it this is something

we actually all recognize see and feel on our projects so ineffective risk

management where the things start to break down so you see the institution of

civil engineers ramp guide to give me some structure here again these are not

my words either their words but I fully agree with them for more I field

projects I work on that at the initiation stage we fail to understand

the objectives the scope and current constraints fully and completely the

identification stage when were identifying risks we don't understand

the underlying causes we develop generic risks we just say ground conditions okay

great but what's wrong with the ground conditions one of the specific risks on

this project what specific conditions or physical conditions are we actually

worried about yeah and then we put a strategy around those specific risks at

the evaluation stage well because we had flaws at the initiation and

identification stage were likely to get flaws in the evaluation as well okay and

also when we're planning responses to risks well I could come up with

nonspecific responses and that say I'm going to effect implementation stage

because how do you implement something that's generic so and you can see I

think how optimism bias creeps in throughout these early stages of risk

management when we fail to do this process effectively some more words that

I think are quite thirty-one here you some of you may have seen them before in

hindsight I sort of looking at the picture of Einstein they're thinking I

think Einstein would have made a very good contract ask us giving that with

something like that

so okay so we've looked at some of the problems we looked at what goes wrong

yeah so let's turn it into positive so the initiation stage yeah let's make

sure we spend a lot of time understanding what which I never achieve

understanding the objectives understand the scope understand the constraints

then when we're starting to identify risks let's get them

lying causes let's make them project specific yeah wooly vague risk

statements are of no use to anybody when we're evaluating them apply good

practice methodology and beware the bias that can creep into our decision-making

in that stage risk management is a turning to pseudoscience by some yeah

and at that point it starts to buffle people and they lose the commitment to

it they don't understand it become something that's remote from what they

actually do you can't really get to grips with it

so you know yes you know apply some good practice methodologies but beware of the

bias that can creep into the decision-making around that make sure

we're not being overly optimistic all the time look at the sort of worst-case

scenarios that you know the doomsday scenarios at the evaluation stage then

sorry at the when we're planning our responses then make sure they are

specific responses with actions allocated to individuals and that those

actions are time bound so we get accountability through doing that and

then we've got something we can manage we've got a tool then because then you

can follow people up can you have youth in what you're supposed to be doing you

said you were supposed to be doing this by this particular date how you getting

on with that you need any help with it yeah as opposed to just generic stuff

then it's the implementation stage release to make sure we implement the

plans we come up with and control the risks at this point it just becomes

management as opposed to risk management this is what good management's about

this is what our project managers should be doing for us okay so remember here

that we did we do recognize those things from many of our contracts and I contend

that most of them have come about as a result of an ineffective risk management

prior to that point and maybe if we got better at addressing

some of those issues that maybe we wouldn't have as many unintended

consequences or nasty surprises of our projects okay so just then now moving on

to look at the post contract side of things then so what can we do a post

contract stage to avoid nasty surprises or how can we deal with risk more

effectively in compensation events

yeah let's have a look at what the contract says so close sixty three point

six tells us yes we can include risking compensation event assessments sometimes

that's the barrier sometimes people don't think they should be risk but the

contract tells us yes they can include risk but what risk can we include well

the contract tells us it's risk that have a significant chance of occurring

and are at the contractors risk okay so that's some of the basics but what does

significant chance me isn't that where we have fertile ground for disputes and

disagreements between us in interpreting what significant risk means so I went

away in scratch in my head I dug into the ramp guide again and found some

words that might help us so the word significance it says is to be

interpreted as a risk whose potential consequence or expected value such that

it would have a significant effect on one of the objectives but the important

bit here is the final bit even if it only has a small probability of

occurrence so it's interesting isn't it so that's the word significant what

about the word chance okay well I always advise people if you struggling with any

other words in the contract the first place to look is a dictionary okay

there's nothing clever going on here the chance is a possibility of something

happening it's fairly easy but you're also when you look at Rand guy we talked

about the likelihood so hopefully this gives us a little bit more understanding

of significant chance as a Turk if you break it down into the two separate

words okay so it means that yes we have to evaluate all risks that could

potentially impact a computation event but maybe we need to do some analyses of

those risks to understand the likelihood of the them occurring and to include

that in our assessment but more on that in a second something linked to this are

project managers assumptions I

under if the clause is really used as well or as anything originally intended

in a proactive way again key words here if the effects are too uncertain to be

forecast reasonably he states assumptions okay so what are those

assumptions if we're not careful again we've heard about this already this

morning about storing things up to the end this is what the process is designed

to avoid is to enable parties to move forward to maintain certainty so yeah if

we're not careful that we can we can fail to if we don't deal with it

certainty effectively it Elita unnecessary time and costs being added

to compensation quotations and that in turn could lead to nasty surprises when

they're submitted for the person who's receiving them which in turn could be

responded to with a nasty surprise good net which is it gets rejected which is

not a place any of us want to be so so yeah so the more risk and unnecessary

risk reading to the quotation the more we have chances of things being rejected

and disagreements remember there is no place for contractors assumptions in a

compensation and quotation it only talks about project managers assumptions or

our contractors assumptions doing in the compensation event they're trying to

mess up the risk profile in the contract I think it's a way of trying to shove

risk back onto the employer I think this is again another area where people start

to get get confused and lose their way in in managing compensation events so

the effective project managers function is to transfer the risk to the employer

okay because that in itself the assumption will become a compensation

event yeah if the assumption proves wrong however you do hear quite a bit of

grumbling from all sides about these processes the contractor says she's too

complicated there's a lot to do here okay I'd say two contracts as well

you've managed to price the entire job at tender stage based on a few documents

that weren't very good and a quick look around site

how come you can't price a compensation event causation it's only for a very

small percentage of that value how difficult is it does it indicate that

there's some issue with the people who are administering the conversations

on-site do they really have the skills expertise to be doing this effectively

yeah from a project managers point of view you sort of hear the grumbles of

what I've never to compensation events to deal with yeah one for the actual

event and then one for the assumption about the event this is ridiculous

but why is he there it's there to help us to maintain certainty of outcome to

stay in control of cost in time so project managers what are you doing

if you're not doing this it's that it's fundamentally our role is to help stay

in control of cost and things in it okay so again and fundamentally this is about

not storing the problems for the end it's allowing us to to work together on

things to maintain certainty of outcome as far as we come to the contract rather

than just dealing with a big final account on site at the end so I've put

together a fairly simple process to help us work our way through the contract so

separate significance from likelihood in case significant chunks break that into

its separate parts so firstly identify risks where the consequence of the risk

could affect the outcome then decide is it reasonable for this risk to be

forecast if the answer is no then surely the protocol is you should be making an

assumption about it however if the answer is yes then the contractor can

estimate the impacts of it and include that in the quotation so once we've done

that we estimate the impact of it then we need to assess the likelihood of it

occurring and then the calculation is it is only publishing for in risk

management of multiplying probability by the impact to come up with a value to

include in the quotation remember risk management and apologies is there any

risk management practitioners in the room but this is more of an art than a

science okay so you know you need to make sure

you put together a simple process that is relevant to the size and scale of the

project okay don't turn this into all cottage

industry in itself otherwise you'll spend all your time instead of arguing

about conversation events quotations fundamentally you'll just be arguing

about well they shouldn't be at a three on that score it should be a two or it

should be a four yeah we're just moving the argument into

a different place so remember we do need to apply the spirit of mutual trust and

cooperation when applying this process

so just to make sure that we do understand and trying to just give you a

flavor here of what these terms mean so employers risk of the contract well all

the copper safety events are employers risk they're all things the employers

has retained but within those you get the employers risk them to cause a

two-point one as well and potentially if it's option C contract the sheriff pain

would be an employer's risk again there is a lot more to employers risk than

just the issues I've pointed out here but I was just going to give you a

flavor and then closing key one point one say the risk which are not code by

the employer occurred by the contractor so everything else that isn't an

employee's risk is a contractors risk

have a look at some examples of the employers risks I don't want to go to

all of these you can see I've pulled out the some of the compensation events that

get used quite frequently but also claims due to works negligence etc loss

of or damage or where to works in certain circumstances they're the cause

they want kinds of things they're all employers risks contractors risk then

everything else okay so it's all the stuff to do with productivity to do with

cost increases to his resource availability subcontractor performance

things breaking down things taking a bit longer than planned deliveries being

late materials getting wastage workmanship quality of workmanship and

defects in the works these are all contractors risk these are all things

that it is acceptable to be priced into a compensation that quotation

then think about the process is this what we do with them the contract uses

very binary language yeah submit accept reject well not like cept so okay

it uses very binary language and we tend to just follow the processes I mean

those of us who work us's or maybe engineers in the room we're good at

following processes army so we're just doing it system itself switch it what's

the problem isn't that we're a nasty surprise comes yeah we just we just fire

these things over the wall each other it is that an effective way of doing it so

I think this is where nasty surprises come from so just because the contract

uses words like that I think it's important that we remember and focus on

how we implement those words it's the behaviors around how we do that that is

important so maybe it should look a bit more like this yeah that we sit around

the table we talk about things openly we make decisions we make proactive

decisions about you know doesn't eat this a contract is written because it

can be priced in or does it need a project manager assumption why not have

those conversations openly between us so a few things that I think a good

practice in relation to compensation events are firstly at the start of the

job before you've had a compensation or worst case when you have your first

computation event agree the format for quotations okay that's just nothing more

than a template that's gained into the detail what is it we expect to see them

how much narrative do we expect to see in the compensation notification yeah

also you know how much detail do you want to see in the price leader a price

kind of things do we do it how much of a program do we need to see to support the

timer entitlements so make sure we agree what what the compensation event is

going to look like right at the start of the job then agree how we're going to

calculate cost and time risk so agreed up that simple methodology yeah and then

once we get a conversation went to deal with and we start around the table we

can then just implement them Dhaulagiri agree yes hopefully it will

lead to fewer nasty surprises having regular joint compensation event

meetings not just following the process doing more than that by the time to my

mind by the time a compensation event notification or quotation gets submitted

it should be a foregone conclusion that it's going to be accepted because you've

done all the hard work before it was submitted and you basically got it to

the point where it was agreed but then we have to follow the other part of ten

point one don't we act in accordance with the contract so we submit it and we

follow the process to make sure that we stay robust and that our governance is

good having discussions about what is reasonable to be forecasts this is what

needs to be a project managers assumption this concept of buying and

selling risks you know if the project manager is resisting well how about you

make an assumption about it mr. project manager well no I don't want to carry

the risk okay well please allow me as a contractor to include some risk in my

compensation yeah we can argue shades of grey on it but you know having a

sensible process will will will mitigate the chance of having that argument and

how about during the identifying and assessing and mitigating potential risks

yeah again making sure that we were training the conditions for success with

our computation like notifications and quotations so there's an increased

likelihood they're actually going to be accepted and then ensuring risk

allowances that we include in compensation rates are specific to the

event and quantified using standard estimating techniques not just adding

ten percent yeah what does that mean yeah who do that okay so again remember

this simple process simple methodology I showed you is appropriate to any value

of project it's just that maybe the level of complexity needs to adjust

depending on the value of the project maybe okay keep it simple stupid

something is something that somebody once said to me and I agree with that

thought really so so there's just a few thoughts if you would like to see some

further good practice guidance well what a great conference we've been putting on

because in previous years we have actually produced some useful guidance

so well done so everybody that's contributed

so previously you will find those glint on my writing scene you'll find them on

the gmh planning website yeah okay so if you want if you want further guidance

sounds like we're in a fishbowl so yeah if you need further guidance have a look

on gmh planning website you'll find me outputs from previous breakout sessions

at the NEC people conference and gives you a lot more but hopefully I've given

you a bit of a flavor of some of the big areas that we can can address to help us

improve the chances of getting things agreed and avoiding nasty surprises okay

and that's me thank you very much

Ready, Set, Hold: August 2017 - Duration: 5:43.

Hi everyone. I'm rincey and i am one of the contributing editors over at book

riot and i am back with a ready set hold. If you haven't seen these before,

basically what I do is I highlight around five books that are coming out in

a couple of months from now so that way you guys can put them on hold at your

library now and be at the top of the hold list rather than the bottom of the

hold list. A lot of libraries start cataloging their books pretty early like

a couple of months in advance. So there's a very good chance that all of these

books are already in your library's catalog. So you can already put them on

hold and then you don't have to wait you know forever to read the new releases

that are coming out. So usually I highlight five. Today I'm going to

highlight six books that are coming out in August just because I couldn't

decide one of these to cut. I'm really excited for all of these and I think

that you guys will be as well or there'll be at least one here that

you'll be excited about that's coming out. So the first book that I want to

highlight comes out on August 1st and that is solo by Kwame Alexander and

Mary Rand Hess. Kwame Alexander is probably best known for his books on

verse. They're young adult books written in verse and they tend to be about like

various sports. So there's crossover which is about like

this young teenage boy who plays basketball. Booked I believe it has to deal

with soccer and I believe he has a couple others out as well. This is

another young adult book that's also written in verse which has me very

excited and this one is following musician. Personally I love books written

in verse and specifically young adult books written in verse are like

especially my jam. So I'm really excited to read this one and if you've read any

of Kwame Alexander's other books you know that he does books and verse so so

well so I imagine that this one will be just as great as well. Next on August

15th we have the stone sky by N.K. Jemisin.

This is the third book in the broken earth series. The first book was the

fifth season and the second book was the obelisk gate.

I had a really hard time saying that word. But yeah this is the final book. I believe

it's a trilogy so I think this is the last book that needs to come out. So if

you've read the fifth season or if you've been waiting to read the fifth season

because you want to wait for the series to be completely done, third book

is coming out so you can put it on hold and read the other two and then be ready

for the third one when it comes out in August. next we have the heart's invisible furies. This one is

by John Boyne and he is best well known for writing the book the boy in the

Striped Pajamas. He has a new book coming out that is also historical fiction and

takes place in Ireland from about the 1940s on, I believe to present day. And I

believe that you are following this one man who was born out of wedlock in

Dublin sort of across his life in sort of a post-war Ireland. So if you were a

fan of the boy in the Striped Pajamas, this one might be worth picking up.

It comes out on August 22nd. Also coming out on August 22nd is Young Jane young by

Gabrielle Zevin. Gabrielle Zevin's latest book the storied life of AJ Fikery was

really well received by a lot of people, myself included. I really enjoyed it but

Gabriel Zevin tends to write like sort of across the board. Like every book that

she writes is very different from all the others. So I can't say like

necessarily that if you love the storied of life of aj fikry you're going to

enjoy this one as well, but it sounds really interesting, at least to me personally.

So I believe that you're following this young woman who starts

off working as like an intern at a congressional office. She ends up having

affair with the congressman that she works for and it becomes this whole big thing.

So to get away from all of that she

ends up moving to like a small town in Maine and trying to raise her daughter.

And then while she's there I believe that she also decides to run for office

herself and then all of the stuff from her past sort of comes to light again.

And so it's about you know being a woman in the world today and the way that the

world judges you as well as just trying to figure out your own life and trying

to raise a young woman in today's world. Yeah it just sounds really really

interesting. It sounds completely different again like I said from the

storied life of AJ Fikry but I really like the way that Gabriel Zevin writes

and it has the potential for being you know more than sort of like a fluffy

chick lit type book which is the way the cover makes it look. But also the storied

life of AJ fikry brought a lot more to the table than you would have expected otherwise.

On August 29th we have a new book from Louise Penny that's coming out.

It's called glass houses. This is part of the Chief Inspector Gamache

series I believe that's how you say his name. I could be wrong on that.

Yeah Louise Penny is one of those mystery writers who's just a name in the

industry and her books always have long lists on them. I know this

from experience. So if you are someone who has read Louise Penny in the past then this

is one to put on hold now so that way you can pick it up. And the final book

that I have to highlight today also comes out on August 29th and it is

Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo. After sort of all of the Wonder

Woman attention that's been happening because of the new movie, I feel like

that this is going to be a book that's going to be in very high demand.

So in this one you are following Diana who is basically trying her best to stand out

from the rest of her family. And she ends up saving someone who may not have like

the best intentions for the world. She's part of the war bringer family and things

sort of go down from there. I'm not going to get too much into it because you know

there's a whole like Wonder Woman mythology that's going on here. So

I think that if you are someone who really enjoys the Wonder Woman movie and are

looking for more stuff and you know maybe you've already read all the comics

or maybe you prefer novels over comic books then this would be perfect for you

to pick up. So yeah those are all the books that I want to highlight for you guys.

Definitely leave a comment down below letting me know if you plan on picking

up any of these books or if there are other books coming out in the month of

August that you're really excited about. So yeah that's all I have for now and

thanks for watching.

Why using YouTube correctly is so important. - Duration: 1:55.

We've all heard of YouTube.

But how many of us are using it correctly?

The difference between doing it right and doing it wrong

can mean a loss of thousands of views.

Let me give you an example.

So here's the example I promised you.

This is the same video.

It's a video we made for Lyn Creasey she give us gave me permission

to use this as an example.

And this video was uploaded by someone for her in June 2014.

So three years ago.

And basically in that time it's at 80 views.

Now in 2015 April 2015 we uploaded it to our Business Channel

which is a channel we run for our clients and stuff

and basically you can see that in two years

there's been 2,297 views

So basically there's a massive difference.

But more importantly if we go into the statistics of each of these

you'll see here, I'll bring it up to the center,

that

the video on Lyn's channels

have zero subscriptions to them

it does have one share.

If we do the same here

for

The Business Channel

you'll see that basically we've got five

subscriptions driven to the channel

and nine shares on this video.

So you can see there's a massive massive difference

between doing it right and doing it wrong.

So as you can see the difference is amazing.

That's why we put together our YouTube courses.

To help you better understand how YouTube works.

Which will lead to more effective results from your videos.
