The importance of voice modulation.

Professional speakers are like actors on stage, they perform to sell an idea or product to their audience with their voice, facial expression and gestures.  They demonstrate their enthusiasm with showmanship not just by reading their speech or delivering a carefully memorized one, but in a passionate rendition that will trigger the same response from their audience.

In public speaking, it is the voice that should be most of all commanding.  It should be clear and loud enough to be heard by the farthest of audience in the room or hall where you are speaking. Nothing is more frustrating for an audience than having to strain their ears to hear a speaker who whisper, mumble or stutter and having to pucker their foreheads to try to understand their perplexing diction.

Practice delivering your speech before the actual presentation and record it and listen to yourself.  If it is not what you would like to listen to, then improve on it. Practice more, aim to be understood clearly, pronounce your words well and pause to stress a point. 

Not all great speakers are born with great voices, but they learned to improve their voices by vocal exercises  and  constant practice.  So, follow what they are doing,  rehearse often and exercise your vocal chords  to make your voice come out loud and clear, then learn how to modulate to make it pleasing to your audience’s ears.

Asperger syndrome.

Asperger syndrome is a form of autisim, which is a lifelong disability that affects how a person makes sense of the world, processes information and relates to other people. Autism is often described as a 'spectrum disorder' because the condition affects people in many different ways and to varying degrees.

Asperger syndrome is mostly a 'hidden disability'. This means that you can't tell that someone has the condition from their outward appearance. People with the condition have difficulties in three main areas. They are: social communication, social interaction and social imagination.

While there are similarities with autism, people with Asperger syndrome have fewer problems with speaking and are often of average, or above average, intelligence. They do not usually have the accompanying learning disabilities associated with autism, but they may have specific learning difficulties. These may include dyslexia and dyspraxia or other conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and epilepsy.

The importance of writing a good email.

Nowadays, as technology evolves, the use of emails is getting more used by everyone. An email could be sent to friends, family, in your work, asking for information..

A very important part of an email is how to write it, it depends on who you are writing to and also for what. You will not write the same to your boss asking for a salary rise than asking if he wants to get a cofee in your break. Also you will not write to your relatives telling them bad news than asking what are the going to do on holidays.
The structure should be correct in every type of email because the other person should have the opportunity to understand it in every content. One of the most important part of an email has to be the subject because the receptor can see in just one line what is about the email and if it is importat or not

Some Polynesian islanders combined binary and decimal math.

When we think of binary math, we think of computers. A number system with only two digits makes calculations quick and easy. However, binary numbers can be very long and, therefore, unwieldy. While binary numbers might be great for machines, decimal numbers are shorter and more comfortable for people to use. A system that combines the benefits of base 2 and base 10 could be ideal. Andrea Bender and Sieghard Beller of the University of Bergen in Norway have discovered that the Mangarevans of French Polynesia used such a hybrid system at least 500 years ago.

Hundreds of years ago, the people of the island of Mangareva in French Polynesia developed a way to use binary math while eliminating the problem of every long numbers. They did this by combining a binary with a decimal system. Bender and Beller learned about this system when studying the Mangarevan language and Mangarevan historical records.

The Polynesians who arrived in Mangareva over 1,000 years ago used a decimal system, as other Polynesians did. However, by A.D. 1450, the Mangarevans were using a system that combined base 10 and base 2. In the Mangarevan language, there are words for the numbers 1 through 9, as with all decimal systems. After that, the system turns into a binary one, with words for 10, 20, 40 and 80.

This mixed system simplifies mental arithmetic but doesn't make it hard to express large numbers. The researchers believe that the hybrid system played a useful role in Mangarevan culture, where people often traded large quantities of goods or offered them as tribute. The Mangarevans used their system to count objects considered highly valuable, including coconuts, fish and octopuses.

Today, the Mangarevan language risks extinction. The number of speakers has decreased from about 1,600 in 1987 to 600 in 2011, despite the island's population remaining stable. The Mangarevans have adopted the Arabic digits and the decimal counting system used by much of the world.

Interview with Sergio Perez

Hello guys,this is an interview with my collegue and friend Sergio Perez, he has just finished his degree on Industrial engenieering at UPV.

Why do you chose studying an engenieering?
R:Well, thats a tough question i´ve always love science,maths,physics...Since i was little i was always wondering how things works and trying to find better ways to do things. I chose industrial because is a very open degree with lots of jobs opportunities and very interesting.

How do you think an engeniier of the 2014 should it be?
R:An engeniier of nowadays should be a very multifaced person, very comfortable with their communication skills, with a strong knowledge of an especific field, with no fear to any problem and a person able to be on any kind of job position like a tecnician or as a teamleader.

Have you spent any part of your degree on a foreing country?And what experience have you learn?
R:Well, during the course i was in Valencia but during summers i was able to make some practice on some european contries such as France and Italy. This was an incredible experience to be able to work with people totally different from you but some things in common. You will return quite open-minden willing to have more experiences. Currently i am trying to study my master degree in the U.S.

What advice would you say to a engeniier first year student?
R:Hahaha, well that the journey at university is long and enjoyable. He will be willing to make an effort on that he likes and in those things que doesnt. A first year student has to learn from every experience at class or at university and make those experience part from his life in order to be a better person and a better engineer.

THERE IS HOPE!!!

Hi guys, since all the noise here in Spain about it´s economy, politics and more...i really like to hear some positive news, not just in sports(we are pretty good) in other aspects like carity and science.

Although the investment in I+D is quite little, from time to time we can hear some great news. The spanish reasearcher Eva Gallardo and his northamerican colleague Carl C.Cowen have made up with a solution to 'invariants subspaces' that it was formulated 80 years ago.  This news was announced in January 28, 2013, at the Congress of the Spanish Royal Mathematical Society held at the University of Santiago de Compostela.
This curious mathematical problem was formulated in the 30's by John von Neumann, although until the 50s was not raised in its current form.

Many mathematicians believe that this issue should be part of the list of "seven millennium problems' developed by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge (Massachusetts, USA)

Thank you for being there see you soon!!!
