People don't like deadlines. They mean a decision, shipping and risk. They force us to decide. Deadlines work. Products that are about to disappear, auctions that are about to end, tickets that are about to sell out--they create forward motion. Deadlines make people do dumb things. Every time I offer a free digital document or an educational event that has a deadline, I can guarantee I will hear from several (or dozens of) people with ornate, well-considered and thoughtful arguments as to why they missed the deadline. Never mind that they had two weeks... the last fifteen minutes are all they are concerned with. If it's important enough to spend an hour complaining about, it's certainly important enough to spend four minutes to just do it in the first place. Deadlines give you the opportunity to beat the rush. Handing in work just a little bit early is a sure-fire way to tell a positive story and get the attention you seek. The chart below tracks the day ...

Hello Friends. This is one more good article regarding the fraud which was happening in MCI. This has appeared recently in THE WEEK magazine. I hope you will like it. In bad shape: The gynaecology ward at the hospital of Santosh Medical College in Ghaziabad / Photo: Arvind Jain The inside story of how some private medical and dental colleges thrive on ill-gotten permits. Here the faculty is dubious, facilities almost nil, and beggars pose as patients By Gunjan Sharma The pathologist goofs up your blood test; the dentist drills the wrong tooth; the physician diagnoses your seasonal cough as tuberculosis! What could make you burst into peals of laughter as scenes from Rowan Atkinson’s Mr Bean would undoubtedly be unwelcome in real life. Yet it could happen to you and me at the hands of a neighbourhood pathologist, dentist or physician if the specialist is a product of one of those dubious private medical or dental colleges operating on ill-gotten permits. Every year about 20...

Perhaps you've experienced it. You do a presentation and it works. It works! That's the reason we keep coming back for more, that's why so many of us spend more time building and giving presentations than almost anything else we do. Here are some steps to achieve this level of PPT nirvana (Your mileage may vary. These are steps, not rules): Don't use Powerpoint at all. Most of the time, it's not necessary. It's underkill. Powerpoint distracts you from what you really need to do... look people in the eye, tell a story, tell the truth. Do it in your own words, without artifice and with clarity. There are times Powerpoint is helpful, but choose them carefully. Use your own font. Go visit Smashing Magazin e and buy a font from one of their sponsors or get one of the free ones they offer. Have your tech guy teach you how to install it and then use it instead of the basic fonts built in to your computer. This is like dressing better or having a nicer business ...

Hi Friends, Uploading one more presentation which is contibuted by my friend and collegue Dr. Piyush Anajwala

Here is a list of most common passwords which are very easily hacked. Worldwide people tend to make the same mistake. The list goes as : 1. 123456 2. 12345 3. 123456789 4. Password 5. Iloveyou 6. Princess 7. Rockyou 8. 1234567 9. 12345678 10. abc123 The best passwords made are a nonlogical combination, that which cannot be guessed. Security experts suggest taking a sentence and transforming it into a non-existent word. For instance "This little piggy went to market" might become "tlpWENT2m". You should use a combination of words of upper and lower case with a special @, #, % symbols.

I thank my friend Dr. Piyush Anajwala, who was kind enough to share his presentation with us. This for our Undergraduates, Postgraduates and even the teaching staff.
