Transcript: Since that other, of course, shows have exploded more. We were talking with some folks the other day about these guys but you start with “Inspector Morse” which again was on PBS in the 70s and then that became the spin-off of “Lewis”. So “Lewis” who is the original assistant now becomes the head … Continue reading "14 Inspector Morse, Young and Old from The Doctor Who Changed the TV Universe – Dr. Rosanne Welch [Video]" Related posts: 07 Conventions from The Doctor Who Changed the TV Universe – Dr. Rosanne Welch [Video] 12 Downton Abbey, Sherlock, and Doctor Who from The Doctor Who Changed the TV Universe – Dr. Rosanne Welch [Video] 13 Bless Their Little Hearts From Jeanne to Suso to Julie to Spike: How Jeanne Macpherson's Manual on Screenwriting Influenced Italian Realism which Influenced Black Independent Film in the U.S. [Video]
Transcript: Since founding Tailored for Success, my motto has been “Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day”, but “teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime”. Which is why I really like the book, I'm reviewing today – Get Hired Now by Ian Siegal, CEO of Zip Recruiter. This book teaches the job seeker to fish metaphorically in the job market. Although it is a thin book – less than 200 pages, it's not a book with “5 latest tips to get job” or a book with hundreds of pages that take you through step by monotonous step in the job search…it's for people who don't have the time, patience or luxury of taking months to learn how to find a job. The book give practical, well researched information on what you need to know if you are in the job search process. The layout of the book is with short but specific chapters on that I believe every job seeker should know regardless of where they are in the job search. For example, the book teaches you: 1. How to find the right jobs to apply to (emphasis on jobs plural). Gone are the days where you apply to a few jobs and hope for the best. 2. How to stand out from your competition by creating a memorable moment 3. How to be great in any interview – whether it's a prescreening interview, in person or video. And the most important aspect in my opinion – how to follow up after the interview. 4. The art and science of salary negotiation – According to a 2018 survey of more than 50,000 job seekers on Zip Recruiter, 64% reported accepting the first offer they received. Remember, the first offer from an employer is most likely priced with the knowledge that negotiation is expected. And just in case you are worried, employers do not rescind job offers because you ask for more…they want to fill positions not get mad at prospects for acknowledging their worth. 5. And much more Basically, the book is broken down into three parts, which corresponds to the three main phases of a job search: 1. The first part is on Getting Prepared – covering resumes – side note: according to CNBC 75% of resumes are never read by a human; polishing your online brand and how to build relationships with networking side note: 85% of jobs are filled by networking. 2. The second part is on How to find the “right” job – reviewing job search sites – not surprising Zip Recruiter is the best, and he tells you why, but he also reviews the book reviews LinkedIn, specific industry job boards, and how to use a recruiter. The book also includes in this section on how to find the right job, the tools you should have, how to determine which jobs to apply to, and interviewing (including how to ace a prescreen interview). 3. The third part is on Getting the job – why it is important to know how to negotiate, and an important element not often talked about – how to quit your current job (i.e., how not to burn bridges). My favorite part of the book has to be the summary pages of each chapter at the end of the book. So, if you need a quick answer, on a particular aspect of the job search – that's where you will find it. If you are looking for a quick reference guide, because maybe you've been laid off or fired. This book is a great place to start. In fact, it even gives you information on what to do if you were laid off or fired to make sure you are taking the right actions to secure your rights. Or perhaps you recently graduated, are coming out of the military or returning to the workforce after a gap in work history; there is valuable information in Get Hired Now to help you.

Transcript -- Since numbers first emerged people have tried anything to make maths easier, find out how these attempts have changed through time.
Transcript: Since many stars in the Milky Way are in multiple star systems, that is they contain more than two stars in mutual orbits, it’s worth asking the question what’s the prospect of life around such stellar systems? The stability of planet orbits depends very much on the rate of close encounters of the stars. In situations of high stellar density such as globular clusters or the dense cores of open star clusters, the interaction rate is such that planets could probably not exist in stable orbits. They would either be perturbed into highly elliptical orbits, which would imply no stable environment in which life could develop, or they would be ejected completely. In general, it looks like the dense stellar environments are not conducive to stable planets and orbits. In fact, there are active searches underway in globular clusters for the free floating planets that astronomers expect to exist because they have been ejected by their parent stars.
Transcript: Since hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and in stars, its spectral transitions are fundamental to stellar classification. The ground state is numbered n = 1, an electron in the lowest energy level it can have. States then go up, n = 2, n = 3, increasing in number at higher excitations from the ground state and closer and closer spacings until the atom is ionized. Transitions in and out of the n = 1 state appear mostly in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum and are called the Lyman series. Transitions in and out of the n = 2 state appear in the visible part of the spectrum and are called the Balmer series. Among the Balmer series the most prominent line is H-alpha or hydrogen-alpha involving transition between n = 2 and n = 3 states.
Transcript: Since light has a finite speed, three hundred thousand kilometers per second, there’s an inevitable consequence called light travel time. In terrestrial environments light essentially travels instantly or appears to travel fast. The finite speed of light, three hundred thousand kilometers per second, has a consequence called light travel time. On the Earth, light essentially travels instantly. It takes light eight minutes to reach us from the Sun, so technically we are seeing the Sun as it was eight minutes ago. In the solar system it takes light hours to travel through the solar system. However, the distance to nearby stars is hundreds of thousands of times larger than the size of the solar system. Even the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, has a distance of 4.3 lightyears. This means we see Proxima Centauri as it was four and a third years ago. Polaris, the pole star, is at a much larger, distance 650 lightyears. Thus, we see Polaris as it was in the 1300s. If Polaris exploded we would not know about it until after 2600 A.D.
