Body Language and Business Etiquette
Body language can make or break a deal. How you carry yourself when engaged in conversation is often as important as what you say. Body language is nonverbal, but it communicates volumes about you nonetheless.
With almost infinite symbolic interpretations for body language, no wonder people are nervous about it! Your best bet is to know about some of the body-language pits you can fall into and how to avoid them.
Standing
When you stand, keep your back straight, middle section in alignment with your back, shoulders back, and head up. This posture connotes comfort with yourself and ease in the situation.
Slouching, sticking your belly out, stuffing your hands in your pockets, and folding your arms defensively all suggest aggressive unease.
Sitting
Take care in the way you sit, for no other position connotes so much on its own. Think of the diversity of sitting positions that you've seen in business meetings, from practically horizontal to alert and upright. Sit with a straight back and with your legs together in front of you or crossed, either at the knee or at the ankle. Normally, women don't cross their legs, but men are allowed. Avoid jiggling your knee, which is a sign of nervousness (and can be pretty annoying to people sitting near you).
Hands
Some people talk with their hands; others stand with their hands glued to their sides. Most people haven't the foggiest notion what their hands are doing when they talk.
Using your hands can be effective sometimes, aggressive sometimes, and irrelevant most of the time. Controlling your hands takes effort and willpower. Monitor your hand movements. Avoid making sweeping, cappuccino-clearing gestures during meetings. If you have to, sit on your hands.
Head movements
Head movements communicate important information. Nodding in agreement can be immensely helpful to others, but too much nodding makes you look like a bobble-head doll. Shaking your head can signal disagreement or disapproval, but avoid shaking your head too much.
Facial expressions
Facial expressions are crucial in your repertoire of body language. No other part of your body can convey the immense richness of nonverbal communication that your face does. For example:
• Smiles are important signals of generosity and nonaggression. But forced smiles signal that you can barely tolerate the other person.
• Likewise, frowns signal disagreement, disapproval, and sometimes anger. But they can also suggest hard thinking and focused concentration.
These facial expressions are the most obvious ones, but hundreds of others exist: an arched eyebrow, flared nostrils, a bitten lip, a grimace . . . and on and on. Every one of them has a culturally agreed-on set of meanings.
Take a day to monitor your most frequently used facial expressions and assess their appropriateness and their effectiveness. You'll probably be surprised by the types of messages your expressions transmit!
Eyes
Maintain eye contact when talking with others. Do not study your hands or clean your fingernails while others are talking. When talking in a group, make eye contact with everyone; don't focus on only one person.

What are the Applications?
(Major Portion of Content Provided by Puneet Gupta - a MobileInfo.Com Technology Writer)
Bluetooth has a tremendous potential in moving and synchronizing information in a localized setting. Potential for Bluetooth applications is huge, because we transact business and communicate more with people who are close by than with those who are far away - a natural phenomenon of human interaction. The following list represents only a small set of potential applications - in future many more imaginative applications will come along:
• By installing a Bluetooth network in your office you can do away with the complex and tedious task of networking between the computing devices, yet have the power of connected devices. No longer would you be bound to fixed locations where you can connect to the network. Each Bluetooth device could be connected to 200 other devices making the connection of every device with every other possible. Since it supports both point to point and point to multipoint it will virtually make the maximum number of simultaneously linked devices unlimited.
• The Bluetooth technology connects all your office peripherals wirelessly. Connect your PC or notebook to printers, scanners and faxes without the ugly and trouble some cable attachments. You can increase your freedom by connecting your mouse or the keyboard wirelessly to your computer.
• If your digital cameras in Bluetooth enabled, you can send still or video images from any location to any location without the hassle of connecting your camera to the mobile phone on the wireline phone.
• Bluetooth allows us to have three way phones. At home, your phone functions as a portable phone (fixed line charge). When you're on the move, it functions as a mobile phone (cellular charge). And when your phone comes within range of another mobile phone with built-in Bluetooth wireless technology it functions as a walkie-talkie (no telephony charge).
• In meetings and conferences you can transfer selected documents instantly with selected participants, and exchange electronic business cards automatically, without any wired connections.
• Connect your wireless headset to your mobile phone, mobile computer or any wired connection to keep your hands free for more important tasks when you're at the office or in your car.
• Have automatic synchronization of your desktop, mobile computer, notebook (PC-PDA and PC-HPC) and your mobile phone. For instance, as soon as you enter your office the address list and calendar in your notebook will automatically be updated to agree with the one in your desktop, or vice versa.
• Automatic Message Delivery: Compose e-mails on your portable PC while you're on an airplane. As soon as you've landed and switched on your mobile phone, all messages are immediately sent.
• Upon arriving at your home, the door automatically unlocks for you, the entry way lights come on, and the heat is adjusted to your pre-set preferences.
• IBM researchers are working on a number of personal devices like a WatchPad that could be connected with other devices through Bluetooth. The Watch Pad is very thin and contains 8MB of RAM. They are also working on a version of CyberPhone called CyberPhone - that can project data onto a small mirror. The CyberPhone can show as much information as a small PDA because of high resolution VGA screen.
You enter the airport-waiting lounge, equipped with Bluetooth-enabled Internet ports. Via the ports, you and other guests use Bluetooth-enabled laptops, PDAs, and other devices to access your office or home-based servers via the airline server. Using voice-over IP, you also make "free" Internet voice calls courtesy of your airline.

The Current State of the Technology (circa mid 2000)
Bluetooth technology has moved fast in terms of standards adoption, early release of chip sets and a few demo products. Nonetheless, Bluetooth is in early stages of development from the point of view of its adoption in enduser applications.
To be more specific, Bluetooth technology is in a period where first release of specifications have been developed and adopted by the core members. Chips sets have been developed by several vendors and have been released to systems integrators. Software development kits have also been released by major vendors. A number of developers conferences have been held in Europe and North America. Now, the second level of developers like 3COM and extended Systems have got into the act to develop systems development tools that business application developers can use.
Some product demonstrations during 2000:
• The Ericsson Bluetooth Headset is a lightweight, wireless mobile phone headset, with a built-in Bluetooth radio chip that acts as a connector between the headset and the Bluetooth plug on the Ericsson phone. When your phone rings, you can answer by simply pressing a key on the headset. If you want to make a call, press the key on the headset and use voice recognition to initiate the call. The phone can be up to 10 meters (30 ft.) away, in a briefcase, your coat pocket, or even in another room while you speak and enjoy complete mobility without cables dangling about. Weighing a mere 20 grams (0.75 oz.), the Bluetooth Headset sits comfortably on either ear and can be used with Ericsson T28, T28 WORLD and R320 cellular phones.
• Nokia displayed a Bluetooth headset that allows users wireless communication with their mobile phones over distances of up to 10 metres.
• Nokia and Fujifilm have been developing a prototype Mobile Imaging technology, allowing a modified Nokia 9110 Communicator containing a Bluetooth chip to receive images taken on a Bluetooth equipped Fujifilm digital camera. After adding a few lines of text, the user can send the received photograph to another Nokia Communicator, or to the Fujifilm Web service, where it could be viewed, printed or saved on a CD-R. By combining the ease of SMS messaging with digital photography, Mobile Imaging is a clear indication of the potential of Bluetooth.
• The AutoPC is a Windows CE-based device that combines a computer with a car radio. It uses voice recognition technology to enable hands-free communication for the driver and enables mobile devices such as phones, PDAs, notebooks, pagers and so on to be docked.
• Xircom demonstrated the capabilities of its Compact Flash product by transferring voice data file between two Windows CE palm-sized PCs at a data rate of 721kB/sec. The device looks like any ordinary Compact Flash card, with the exception of a square plastic antenna attached to one end.
Some Bluetooth enabled products in the market:
• Ericsson R520 Bluetooth/WAP/GPRS/Triband
• Ericsson T36 Bluetooth/WAP/HSCSD/Triband
• Alcatel OneTouch 700 GPRS, WAP, Bluetooth
• TDK Bluetooth Product Range
• Bluetooth-enabled Nokia 9110 linked to a FujiFilm digital camera
• Ericsson Bluetooth GSM Headset
• Ericsson Communicator
MobileInfo's Advisory and Comments:
There is significant hype about Bluetooth. It is not unlike WAP. The PR machinery of Bluetooth community, vendors and developers would make you believe that Bluetooth is going to solve all the problems of short-distance connectivity without wires at a low cost and in the near future. They may also not acknowledge any overlap with 802.11 wireless LAN or HomeRF technologies. Reality is a little bit different than the glossy Powerpoint presentations and speeches by eloquent VPs of marketing for these vendors. We advise the user organizations to apply a bit of caution to some of these claims. Here is our assessment:
• With the momentum going at this speed and R&D dollars committed, we should expect during 2001 a reasonable set of products at silicon level, chip level and device adapter level that the systems integrators can utilize in the finished products for enduser devices - from smart phones to laptops.
• The prices of Bluetooth-enabled components will remain high during first part of 2001and this will delay widespread adoption. By December, the prices had come down both as a result of ramp of production but also due to single chip implementations and general downturn in the economy.
• Increased competition and production will bring the prices down in 2002.
• Distance limitation of Bluetooth in the first version will limit its use to close-range applications only. From systems engineering perspective, we do not see much conflict with wireless LAN applications and Bluetooth. The former is well-tested technology spanning much longer distances and higher speed. Let us not get into fruitless arguments and use appropriate technology where its core applications are. Also, expect 802.11 wireless LAN adapters to decrease in prices.
• Bluetooth will inevitably go through a phase where real experience will fall short of the promise it held.
• The number of 1000 plus vendors will shrink to, may be, 100 plus who will survive the rationalization that will follow in 2002-2003 time frame. Therefore, stay with vendors who have holding power or those who have great alliances. Otherwise you will have to say goodbye to your initial Bluetooth experimentation.
• Security standards for Bluetooth are still in a formative stage. Which devices talks to which and how do users allow or deny access to other Bluetooth devices as they approach them is still not clear - it is still being discussed at SIG level in 802.15 subgroup of IEEE. Therefore, there is still a gap between the cup that holds Bluetooth Elixir and the lip that must sip it to reach short-distance connectivity salvation.

Bluetooth Technology
How Bluetooth Technology Works
"Connective convenience"
Bluetooth is a high-speed, low-power microwave wireless link technology, designed to connect phones, laptops, PDAs and other portable equipment together with little or no work by the user. Unlike infra-red, Bluetooth does not require line-of-sight positioning of connected units. The technology uses modifications of existing wireless LAN techniques but is most notable for its small size and low cost. The current prototype circuits are contained on a circuit board 0.9cm square, with a much smaller single chip version in development. The cost of the device is expected to fall very fast, from $20 initially to $5 in a year or two. It is envisioned that Bluetooth will be included within equipment rather than being an optional extra. When one Bluetooth product comes within range of another, (this can be set to between 10cm and 100m) they automatically exchange address and capability details. They can then establish a 1 megabit/s link (up to 2 Mbps in the second generation of the technology) with security and error correction, to use as required. The protocols will handle both voice and data, with a very flexible network topography.
This technology achieves its goal by embedding tiny, inexpensive, short-range transceivers into the electronic devices that are available today. The radio operates on the globally-available unlicensed radio band, 2.45 GHz (meaning there will be no hindrance for international travelers using Bluetooth-enabled equipment.), and supports data speeds of up to 721 Kbps, as well as three voice channels. The bluetooth modules can be either built into electronic devices or used as an adaptor. For instance in a PC they can be built in as a PC card or externally attached via the USB port.

A special type of relay is one which monitors the current, voltage, frequency, or any other type of electric power measurement either from a generating source or to a load for the purpose of triggering a circuit breaker to open in the event of an abnormal condition. These relays are referred to in the electrical power industry as protective relays.
The circuit breakers which are used to switch large quantities of electric power on and off are actually electromechanical relays, themselves. Unlike the circuit breakers found in residential and commercial use which determine when to trip (open) by means of a bimetallic strip inside that bends when it gets too hot from overcurrent, large industrial circuit breakers must be "told" by an external device when to open. Such breakers have two electromagnetic coils inside: one to close the breaker contacts and one to open them. The "trip" coil can be energized by one or more protective relays, as well as by hand switches, connected to switch 125 Volt DC power. DC power is used because it allows for a battery bank to supply close/trip power to the breaker control circuits in the event of a complete (AC) power failure.
Protective relays can monitor large AC currents by means of current transformers (CT's), which encircle the current-carrying conductors exiting a large circuit breaker, transformer, generator, or other device. Current transformers step down the monitored current to a secondary (output) range of 0 to 5 amps AC to power the protective relay. The current relay uses this 0-5 amp signal to power its internal mechanism, closing a contact to switch 125 Volt DC power to the breaker's trip coil if the monitored current becomes excessive.
Likewise, (protective) voltage relays can monitor high AC voltages by means of voltage, or potential, transformers (PT's) which step down the monitored voltage to a secondary range of 0 to 120 Volts AC, typically. Like (protective) current relays, this voltage signal powers the internal mechanism of the relay, closing a contact to switch 125 Volt DC power to the breaker's trip coil is the monitored voltage becomes excessive.
There are many types of protective relays, some with highly specialized functions. Not all monitor voltage or current, either. They all, however, share the common feature of outputting a contact closure signal which can be used to switch power to a breaker trip coil, close coil, or operator alarm panel. Most protective relay functions have been categorized into an ANSI standard number code. Here are a few examples from that code list:

ANSI protective relay designation numbers
12 = Overspeed
24 = Overexcitation
25 = Syncrocheck
27 = Bus/Line undervoltage
32 = Reverse power (anti-motoring)
38 = Stator overtemp (RTD)
39 = Bearing vibration
40 = Loss of excitation
46 = Negative sequence undercurrent (phase current imbalance)
47 = Negative sequence undervoltage (phase voltage imbalance)
49 = Bearing overtemp (RTD)
50 = Instantaneous overcurrent
51 = Time overcurrent
51V = Time overcurrent -- voltage restrained
55 = Power factor
59 = Bus overvoltage
60FL = Voltage transformer fuse failure
67 = Phase/Ground directional current
79 = Autoreclose
81 = Bus over/underfrequency

inverse time relay is one in which the operating time is approximately inversely proportional to the magnitude of the actuating quantity. Fig. 10.a show the time current characteristics of an inverse current relay. At values of current less than pickup, the relay never operates. At higher values, the time of operation of the relay decreases steadily with the increase of current. The inverse-time delay can be achieved by associating mechanical accessories with relays.

In an induction relay, the inverse-time delay can be achieved by positioning a permanent magnet in such a way that relay disc cuts the flux between the poles of the magnet. When the disc moves, the current set up in it produce a drag on the disc, which slows its motion.
In other types of relays, the inverse time delay can be introduced by oil dashpot or a time limit fuse. Fig.10 shows an inverse time solenoid relay using oil dashpot. The piston in the oil dashpot attached to the moving plunger slows its upward motion. At a current value just equal to the pickup, the plunger moves slowly providing maximum time delay.
The inverse-time characteristics can also be obtained by connecting a time-limit fuse in parallel with the trip coil terminals as shown in Fig. 10 c. The shunt path formed by time-limit fuse is of negligible impedance as compared with the relatively high impedance of the trip coil. Therefore, so long as the fuse remains intact, it will divert practically the whole secondary current of the CT from the trip Coil. When the secondary current exceeds the current carrying capacity of the fuse will blow and the whole current will pass through the trip coil, thus opening the circuit breaker. The time lag between the incidence of excess current and the tripping of the breaker is governed by the characteristics of the fuse. Careful selection of fuse can give the desired inverse-time characteristics.



A Position Sensitive Device and/or Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) is an optical position sensor (OPS), that can measure a position of a light spot in one or two-dimensions on a sensor surface.

Principles
PSDs can be divided into two classes which work according to different principles: In the first class, the sensors have an isotropic sensor surface that has a raster-like structure that supplies continuous position data. The second class has discrete sensors on the sensor surface that supply local discrete data.


Isotropic Sensors

Design of a PSD using a PIN diodeThe technical term PSD was first used in a 1957 publication by J.T. Wallmark for lateral photoelectric effect used for local measurements. On a laminar semiconductor, a so-called PIN diode is exposed to a tiny spot of light. This exposure causes a change in local resistance and thus electron flow in four electrodes. From the currents Ia, Ib, Ic and Id in the electrodes, the location of the light spot is computed using the following equations.


and


The kx and ky are simple scaling factors, which permit transformation into coordinates.

An advantage of this process is the continuous measurement of the light spot position with measuring rates up to over 100 kHz. The dependence of local measurement on form and size of the light spot as well as the nonlinear connection are a disadvantage that can be partly compensated by special electrode shapes.


Discrete Sensors

Serial Processing
The most common sensor applications with a sampling rate of less than 1000 Hz are CCD or CMOS cameras. The sensor is partitioned into individual pixels whose exposure value can be read out sequentially. The position of the light spot can be computed with the methods of photogrammetry directly from the brightness distribution.


Parallel Processing

Design of a discrete PSD from Massari with parallel processing. The yellow circle is the illuminated spot.For faster applications, matrix sensors with parallel processing were developed. Both line by line and in columns, the density of light of each pixel is compared with a global threshold value. The results of comparison become lines and columns with logical OR links. From all columns and all lines the one element that is brighter than a given threshold value is the average value of the coordinates computed of the light spot.


The solar eclipse that will take place on Wednesday, July 22, 2009 will be a total eclipse of the Sun. It will be the longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century, lasting at greatest eclipse 6 minutes, 58 seconds, it has sparked tourist interest in eastern China and India.[1][2][3].

The eclipse is part of series 136 in the Saros cycle, like the record setting Solar eclipse of July 11, 1991. The exceptional duration is a result of the moon being near perigee, with the diameter of the moon 8% larger than the sun (magnitude 1.080). This is second in the series of three eclipses in a month. There was a lunar eclipse on July 7 and now a solar eclipse on July 22 and then a lunar eclipse on August 6.

[edit] Visibility
It will be visible from a narrow corridor through nothern Maldives, northern India, eastern Nepal, northern Bangladesh, Bhutan, the northern tip of Myanmar, central China and the Pacific Ocean, including the Ryukyu Islands, Marshall Islands and Kiribati.

Totality will be visible in many large cities, including Surat, Vadodara, Bhopal, Varanasi, Patna, Dinajpur, Guwahati, Chengdu, Nanchong, Chongqing, Yichang, Jingzhou, Wuhan, Huanggang, Hefei, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Huzhou, Suzhou, Jiaxing, Ningbo and Shanghai, as well as over the Three Gorges Dam.[4][5] According to some experts, Taregana[6][7] in Bihar is the "best" place to view the event.

A partial eclipse will be seen from the much broader path of the Moon's penumbra, including most of South East Asia (all of India and China) and north-eastern Oceania.


[edit] Duration
This solar eclipse is the longest total solar eclipse that will occur in the twenty-first century, and will not be surpassed in duration until June 13, 2132. Totality will last for up to 6 minutes and 39 seconds, with the maximum eclipse occurring in the ocean at 02:35:21 UTC about 100 km south of the Bonin Islands, southeast of Japan. The uninhabited North Iwo Jima island is the landmass with totality time closest to maximum, while the closest inhabited point is Akusekijima, where the eclipse will last 6 minutes and 25 seconds.[8]


[edit] Earthquake prediction
According to majority of scientists earthquakes are not caused by the moon or any event such as this, no matter how long the eclipse lasts or how significant it is from other eclipses. The moon's gravitational pull is only known to cause tides. In this instance also there is a high probability for a mild change in ocean tides during the eclipse which should not be mistaken for a Tsunami.[9]

However, there has been an unendorsed earthquake prediction by a software developer who specializes in Computer Game physics and has posted an article on a blog post.[10] His statement is based on an existing theory by James O. Berkland[11] originally posted on National Geographic.[12] According to this speculation, the combined gravitational pull of sun and moon during the long total eclipse will cause a undersea tectonic uplift in south of Japan resulting a major tsunami. However, the author states that this is only a hypothesis and acknowledges that he is not qualified to make a formal prediction. The news is swiftly gaining attention worldwide as an electronic chain letter.[13] Mainstream scientists and media have already rejected this hypothesis stating that there is no credible evidence to prove any correlation between solar eclipses and earthquakes

Constant switching frequency control of switch mode rectifiers

Abstract

The boost converter is commonly used as a power-factor-correction pre-regulator. For medium to high power applications, the continuous mode of operation is preferred. This paper attempts to give a detailed analysis, not reported previously in the literature, of the limitations of the continuous-mode boost converters as power-factor-correction pre-regulators, in terms of the attainable power factor and harmonic distortions. Results are presented to highlight the relationships between various practical parameters and the attainable performance.

A novel control scheme for single-phase switch-mode rectifiers is presented in this letter. By utilizing the constant-switching-frequency pulse width modulation scheme, the duty ratios of the switches in each switching cycle are determined based on accurate control strategy. No current sensors are required. The simulations and experiments show satisfactory results.

Due to tougher regulations on the input current harmonics, studies on the single-phase boost-type switch-mode rectifiers (SMRs) with unity power factors have been presented in recent years. Among various continuous current control schemes, some of them require high-accuracy current sensors which add to the overall circuit cost, and some adopt varying switching frequencies which make the filtering and the electromagnetic interference (EMI) reduction difficult. In this letter, the authors will present a novel fixed-frequency control method without current sensors for boost-type SMRs. It is known that, in the SMR control, the input current is shaped to follow a sinusoidal command in phase with the ac source voltage. The waveform of the input current is determined by the charging and the discharging voltages of the boost inductor and the duty ratios of the switches. Instead of sensing the input current, slopes of the input currents are observed to determine the duty ratio in a fixed-frequency switching cycle. The well-developed triangle pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme can be employed. In the following sections, the control principles will be explained. Also, simulations and experiments are conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the presented scheme.

Design and implementation of high performance switch mode boost converter
Abstract

Boost converter is a dc-to-dc converter that steps up the dc voltage from its fixed low level to a desired high level. It is also called the fly-back converter because the energy transfer, from the source to the load, takes place only during the off period of the switch.
DC power supplies are extensively used inside most of electrical and electronic appliances in the world today, such as in computers, monitors, televisions, audio sets and others. There are commonly known as rectifiers. The nature of rectifiers either it is conventional or switch mode types, all of them contribute to low PF, high THD and low efficiency to the power system. With the imposed of harmonic standards such as IEC 61000-3-2 by international communities, it would be much important aspect to consider in every design of the appliances.
.
Research into switch mode power factor corrected ac-dc converters has been in two directions namely buck and boost type topologies. The advantage of Buck type topology is that the converter can provide variable output voltage, which is lower than the input voltage. However, when the instantaneous input voltage is below the output voltage the current drops to zero and results in significant increase in input current THD.

Design of input filters for power factor improvement in buck converters is therefore complex and provides only limited improvement in input current quality. On the other hand the boost type converter generates dc voltage, which is higher than the input voltage. However, the input current in these converters flows through the inductor and therefore can easily be actively wave-shaped with appropriate current mode control. Moreover, boost converters provide regulated dc output voltage at unity input power factor and reduced THD of input ac current. These converters have found widespread use in various applications due to the advantages of high efficiency, high power density and inherent power quality improvement at ac input and dc output.
The process of shaping the input current is done by the Boost converter, which is properly controlled by the related circuitry. The control circuits for this project used low-cost components, easily available yet giving excellent performance and satisfactory results.

Title of the project
Development of a Repository and Search Engine for Alumni of College (RASE)
Abstract of the project
This project is aimed at developing a repository for the alumni of the college, which is of importance to a college. The Repository and Search Engine (RASE) is an Internet based application that can be accessed throughout the World. Any one can access the search Engine to know about any Alumni of that college but can’t able to add. Alumni can only update the database when they are in the college.

Functional components of the project
Following is a list of functionalities of the system. More functionality that you find appropriate can be added to this list. And, in places where the description of functionality is not adequate, you can make appropriate assumptions and proceed.
1. A person should be able to
• Click on a button or link to be taken to the specific application.
• The first page of the application should provide the user (student only) with the options of saving his/her details in the database and searching for alumni.
2. The page through which the student enter his/her details should allow saving of user details like name, year of passing, roll number, contact number, present address, permanent address, etc. This page will be having 2 buttons Save and Cancel.
3. The save page should have proper validation before allowing the user to save user details into the database.
4. The cancel button should take the user back to the home page (first page).
5. The search page should allow search on the basis of name of the user or roll number. Partial search should be allowed.
Steps to start-off the project
There are a couple of alternatives to implement such a system.
A. Core java, Advanced Java and backend as MS Access / SQL Server.
B. Web Based using JSP and backend is kept the same. The Web Server used can be Apache Tomcat.
The following steps will be helpful to start off the project.
1. Study and be comfortable with technologies such as
a. Java and Advanced Java Concepts and SQL server.
b. JSP’s and Web Server Technology, etc.
Some links to these technologies are given in the ‘Guidelines and References’ section of this document
2. Decide on the validation to be done on the front end save page i.e., the format of date to be entered and the roll number format, etc.
3. Make a database for storing the student details.
4. Create the help-pages of the system in the form of Q&A or FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). This will help you also when implementing the system.

from the start
of the project Remarks


1 Requirements Specification Complete specification of the system (with appropriate assumptions). A document detailing the same should be written and a presentation on that be made. 2-3 Attempt should be made to add some more relevant functionality other than those that are listed in this document.
2 Technology familiarization Understanding of the technology needed to implement the project. 4-5 The presentation should be from the point of view of being able to apply it to the project, rather than from a theoretical perspective.
3 Database creation A database having a table to add the student details should be created. 5-7 It is important to finalize on the database at this stage itself so that development and testing can proceed with the actual database itself.
4 High-level and Detailed Design Listing down all possible scenarios cancellation, and then coming up with flow-charts or pseudo code to handle the scenario. 7-9 The scenarios should map to the requirement specification (ie, for each requirement that is specified, a corresponding scenario should be there).
5 Implementation of the front-end of the system Implementation of the various screens to be added. 10-12 During this milestone period, it would be a good idea for the team (or one person from the team) to start working on a test-plan for the entire system. This test-plan can be updated as and when new scenarios come to mind.
6 Integrating the front-end with the database The front-end developed in the earlier milestone will now be able to update the student database. In short, the system should be ready for integration testing. 12-13
7 Integration Testing The system should be thoroughly tested by running all the testcases written for the system (from milestone 5). 14-15 Another 2 weeks should be there to handle any issues found during testing of the system. After that, the final demo can be arranged.
8 Final Review Issues found during the previous milestone are fixed and the system is ready for the final review. 16-18 During the final review of the project, it should be checked that all the requirements specified during milestone number 1 are fulfilled (or appropriate reasons given for not fulfilling the same)

Top five ways to assess soft skills

1. To check writing skills, review the candidate’s resume and cover letter. A great resume and cover letter may indicate that the candidate has good writing skills. However, you might want to try exchanging emails with the jobseeker, in case they had a friend or consultant work on the application.
2. For verbal skills, try using open-ended questions during the interview. Encourage the candidate to provide detailed explanations. Using questions and statements such as “Can you tell me about a time when….?” or “Give an example of a situation in which you…” can help you test verbal skills.
3. When evaluating interpersonal skills, ask the candidate to describe past work relationships. Ask questions such as “Tell me about the best boss you ever had” or “Describe a time when a project went wrong”.
4. If you’re looking to explore integrity and honesty, ask the candidate a question such as “Describe your greatest success and biggest failure?”
5. To weigh personality, try questions such as “What makes you happy?” or “What really bugs you?”

Employers can also try using psychometric assessments and employment assessment tests to uncover personality quirks, work styles and soft skills. But interview provides a great opportunity to test for those same things in person.
Communication & Soft Skills: Body Language Speaks Louder Than Words
There's a great article over at LeaderValues that most of us in the business world could benefit from reading: Body Language Speaks Louder Than Words. Considering that 93% of the message you convey is non-verbal, leaving only 7% for actual "words", we should be paying more attention to things like eye contact, facial expressions, posture, but how often do you hear about the subject? Here is an excerpt from the article by Lydia Ramsey with some good information on how to gain more control over our non-verbal message:
Has it ever occurred to you how much you are saying to people even when you are not speaking? Unless you are a master of disguise, you are constantly sending messages about your true thoughts and feelings whether you are using words or not.
Studies show that your words account for only 7% of the messages you convey. The remaining 93% is non-verbal. 55% of communication is based on what people see and the other 38% is transmitted through tone of voice. So think about it. In the business setting, people can see what you are not saying. If your body language doesn't match your words, you are wasting your time.
Eye contact is the most obvious way you communicate. When you are looking at the other person, you show interest. When you fail to make eye contact, you give the impression that the other person is of no importance. Maintain eye contact about 60% of the time in order to look interested, but not aggressive.
Facial expression is another form of non-verbal communication. A smile sends a positive message and is appropriate in all but a life and death situation. Smiling adds warmth and an aura of confidence. Others will be more receptive if you remember to check your expression.
Your mouth gives clues, too, and not just when you are speaking. Mouth movements, such as pursing your lips or twisting them to one side, can indicate that you are thinking about what you are hearing or that you are holding something back.
The position of your head speaks to people. Keeping your head straight, which is not the same as keeping your head on straight, will make you appear self-assured and authoritative. People will take you seriously. Tilt your head to one side if you want to come across as friendly and open.
How receptive you are is suggested by where you place your arms. Arms crossed or folded over your chest say that you have shut other people out and have no interest in them or what they are saying. This position can also say, "I don't agree with you." You might just be cold, but unless you shiver at the same time, the person in front of you may get the wrong message.
How you use your arms can help or hurt your image as well. Waving them about may show enthusiasm to some, but others see this gesture as one of uncertainty and immaturity. The best place for your arms is by your side. You will look confident and relaxed. If this is hard for you, do what you always do when you want to get better at something - practice
Communication

Every day in almost any way you can think of you communicate. All kinds of business transactions whether in an email or in person, are done via some type of communication. Because it is so vital to everyday life, it is important not to neglect it.

When indoors, adjust the volume of your voice accordingly. Make sure you speak clearly. Maintain eye contact and respect the privacy of others. You should never chastise another employee in front of others.

Never interrupt others when they are talking; rather, wait until they are finished and then make your response. When you constantly cut someone off they get the impression that you are pushy or rude. Others will form opinions of you from the manner in which you communicate.

Written communication is very important. Check your spelling and grammar before handing out a memo or sending an email. You do not want to circulate documents that contain errors.

Body Language

Watch your body language because it tends to sends messages, either negative or positive. Sit up straight, be still and don't fidget during presentations. If you think positively then your body language should reflect that.

Positive body language sends a message of confidence.

Hand Movements

Limit your hand movements as excessive movements can become distracting. Unnecessary hand movements will make your audience focus on your hands and not what you actually have to say.

Eye Contact

It is a good rule of thumb to maintain eye contact when you are speaking with someone. Doing so tells the other person that you care about what they have to say.

Maintain Proper Distance

When you are engaged in a conversation with someone do not enter their personal space. Don't crowd them during the conversation, especially members of the opposite sex.

Attitude

You want to project a positive attitude. Positive does not mean arrogance, but rather charm and confidence. Take criticism in stride. Be grateful that someone brought your mistakes to your attention and use it as a learning opportunity.

The effectively you can communicate the more likely you are to become a leader within your organization. You want to learn from your colleagues but not become overly dependent on them. You should respect not just management, but all people that you come into contact with. Remember to smile. A warm smile goes a long way.

Try developing these skills - and you will see a positive change in your working conditions.
