Can You Learn to Read People?
I've been studying nonverbal communication for over 30 years, with a special emphasis on skill in nonverbal communication. I've seen books and courses that purport to teach you how to read someone's body language "like a book." Well, sorry to inform you that body language - nonverbal communication - is fantastically complex, and there is no dictionary that you can use to translate (or else Frommer's or Rosetta Stone would be selling them). You can, however, get better at reading ("decoding") nonverbal cues, but it's not all that easy, but here's how. First, what does the research say? There are some published studies, and a handful of dissertations, that have tried to train people in nonverbal communication, and although some show statistically significant improvement, the changes are underwhelming. Another problem with these studies is the motivation of the trainees. But here's the issue: I had spent hundreds and hundreds of hours watching nonverbal behavior. Awareness. Motivation.

Things That Are Not In the U.S. Constitution - The U.S. Constitution Online...
Have you ever heard someone say, "That's unconstitutional!" or "That's my constitutional right!" and wondered if they were right? You might be surprised how often people get it wrong. You might also be surprised how often people get it right. A lot of people presume a lot of things about the Constitution. One critique of this page is that it is full of nit-picks. The Air Force The Constitution was ratified in 1787, long, long before the advent of the airplane. Congressional Districts Congressional Districts divide almost every state in the United States into two or more chunks; each district should be roughly equal in population throughout the state and indeed, the entire country.

The 100 Most Important Things To Know About Your Character (revised)
Quote from original Author(Beth):This list came about when, one day while struggling to develop a character for an upcoming Hunter game, my lovely roommate Nikki looked at me and said something like, "Wouldn't it be cool to have a list of questions you could go through and answer while you were making characters, so you'd make sure to consider all sorts of different elements in their personality?" I agreed, and that very evening we sat down over hot chocolate and ramen noodles to whip up a list of 100 appearance-, history-, and personality-related questions (which seemed like a nice even number) to answer as a relatively easy yet still in-depth character building exercise. Later on, we went through the list again, took out the questions that sucked (because there were a lot of them) and replaced them with better ones. What you see before you is the result of that second revision. Just don't email us specifically to tell us how much we suck. - Beth
