article: These key muscles provide a strong base for your upper body, helping ensure good form and stability when lifting. They include: Deltoids: These muscles from a triangle pointing down from your shoulder, and help rotate and lift your arms. Trapezoids: Coming down from both sides of your neck and forming a point in the middle of your spine, these are essential for shrugging motions, twists, and pulling something down towards you. Lats: Found on your ribs and back, your lats help keep your body stable and spine aligned. With your arm hanging by your side, grab a comfortable dumbbell (one-handed weight). Keeping your arm straight and elbow locked at 90-degrees, raise the weight up so that your arm is straight in front of you. Do not keep going up your arm should be at a 90-degree angle to your body. You will look a little like an old cartoon robot, with bent arms and a stiff back. Aim for 3-5 sets of 10-15 reps. Variations: Mix in sideways deltoid raises. Bend your elbows at 90-degree angles so that the weights are in front of your body, roughly stomach level. Raise your elbows up and to the sides, as if they were wings, and then slowly return your arms to your sides. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a barbell at neck height with both hands shoulder-length apart on the bar. Push the weight straight up above your head, ending with your arms completely extended, then slowly return it below your chin. Do 3-4 sets of 8 reps. Keep your back straight and your feet solid to keep your balance. Never bend your back, contort your arms, or lean either way to get the weight up -- you need to be able to get the bar up in one fluid motion. If you feel tired, stop. This exercise can be dangerous if you drop the weight above your head. Military press is also a great exercise for your back and triceps. Hold a barbell (long, two-handed weight) near your thighs with your arms hanging straight down. Lift the weight 2-3 inches by raising your shoulders, then slowly lower them back down. Repeat for 3-4 sets of 20-30 reps, as shrugs work best as a high-volume exercise. Lie face-down on a bench with your arms hanging freely in front of you. With a dumbbell in each hand, pull the weights up until your arms are bent 90 degrees, as if you were rowing a boat with both hands. Many gyms have rowing machines as well that let you perform this sitting down by pulling on a weighted cable. Keep your back straight and bend from the waist to row, not the lower spine. Pull-ups are fantastic full-body workouts, but they hinge on having a strong back. The wider your grip, the more intense the exercise will be for your back muscles. Grab an overhead bar so that your feet cannot touch the floor. Pull your chin up over the bar, then lower yourself so that your arms are straight. Repeat for as many reps as you can. Many gyms have assisted pull-up machines that remove some of your weight, making your push-ups easier. You might encounter reverse pull-up machineswhere your pull a bar down to chest height instead of pulling yourself up. This is a great way to get stronger, but know that the closer you put your hands together the more this becomes a tricep exercise.

Push the [ENTER] button after pressing your chosen number button. Confirm that the |DEC = | screen displays your chosen decimal places. Touch the [2nd] button, then the [CPT] button above it to exit the |DEC = | screen. Operate the calculator as normal with the decimal places now customized."
article: While it's unlikely you'll want zero decimal places on a financial calculator, you can set it for that by pressing the [0] button. At the other end of the scale, pressing the [8] button will set the device to display 8 decimal places. This is a unique option for the TI BA II Plus that causes it to show a variable number of decimal places. Once you complete the process of changing the number of decimal places, this option will show as few decimal places as are necessary in order to completely display the number, yet no more than 9 decimal places. In other words, say your enter the number 3.5: In the default 2-decimal format, the display will read |3.50|. If set to zero decimal places, it will read |4.|. If set to 3 decimal places, it will read |3.500|. If set to 8 decimal places, it will read |3.50000000|. If set to the "floating decimal" format (by pressing [9]), it will read |3.5|. This is the second button from the left in the top row of the keypad. Pressing it causes the decimal place setting to reset based on the number entry you just made. You'll see one of the following: Zero places: |DEC = 0.| 1 place: |DEC = 1.0| 2 places: |DEC = 2.00| 3 places: |DEC = 3.000| 4 places: |DEC = 4.0000| 5 places: |DEC = 5.00000| 6 places: |DEC = 6.000000| 7 places: |DEC = 7.0000000| 8 places: |DEC = 8.00000000| Floating decimal: |DEC = 9.| Pressing the [2nd] button activates the second function for the [CPT] button, which is "QUIT." After hitting this combination of buttons, the screen will return to whatever appeared on it before you entered the |DEC = | screenbut with changed decimal place settings. The TI BA II Plus will retain the updated decimal place setting until such time as you choose to change it once again. There's only one exceptionif you go through the process of restoring all default settings, as described below: Press the [2nd] button, then the [+/-] button (its second function is "RESET"). Press the [ENTER] button to reset the calculator. This clears the calculator's memory, deletes any worksheet data, and restores all default settings.

Sure, you don't necessarily know the people in your audience or that new friend in your group, but they're nodding along with you and looking knowingly at you all the same. This means that they are connecting with you. So reward them with your acknowledgment! Use facial expressions consciously. Strive to reflect passion and generate listener empathy by using soft, gentle, aware facial expressions. Avoid negative facial expressions, such as frowns or raised eyebrows. What is or isn't negative depends on the context, particularly the cultural context, so be guided by your situation. Be quick to identify unexpected behavior that suggests a cross-culture collision, such as a clenched fist, a slouched posture, or even silence. If you don't know the culture intimately, ask questions about the communication challenges you might face before you start to speak with (or to) people in an unfamiliar cultural context. Eye contact builds rapport, helps to convince people that you're trustworthy, and displays interest. During a conversation or presentation, it is important to look into the other person's eyes if possible and maintain contact for a reasonable amount of time. Take care not to overdo it. Use just as much eye contact as feels natural, about 2-4 seconds at a time. Remember to take in all of your audience. If you're addressing a boardroom, look every member of the board in the eye. Neglecting any single person can easily be taken as a sign of offense and could lose you business, admission, success, or whatever it is you endeavor to achieve. If you're addressing an audience, pause and make eye contact with a member of audience for up to two seconds before breaking away and resuming your talk. This helps individual members of the audience feel personally valued. Be aware that eye contact is culturally ordained. In some cultures it is considered to be unsettling, or inappropriate. Ask about this in particular or do the research in advance. There is power in pausing. Simon Reynolds says that pausing causes an audience to lean in and listen. It helps you to emphasize your points and allow the listener time to digest what has been said. It also helps to make your communication come across as more compelling and it makes your speech easier to absorb and become comfortable with. Take a few deep breaths to steady yourself before you begin communicating. Get into the habit of solid, regular breathing during a conversation, This will help you to keep a steady, calm voice and will also keep you more relaxed. Use pauses to take a breather from what you are saying. Use hand gestures carefully. Be conscious of what your hands are saying as you speak. Some hand gestures can be very effective in highlighting your points (open gestures), while others can be distracting or even offensive to some listeners, and tend to shut down the conversation or listening (closed gestures). It also helps to watch other speaker's hand gestures with an eye for how they come across to you. Emulate those you see that are effective and engaging. Notice that the most effective gestures are natural, slow, and emphatic. Be alert to your wandering eyes, your hands picking at fluff, your constant sniffling, shuffling, rocking, and the like. These small gestures add up and are all guaranteed to dampen the effectiveness of your message. Have someone record your talk, then take the time to view your speech delivery in fast forward. Any repetitive gesture or unconscious habit will stand out like a sore thumb and will be somewhat comical. Once you have targeted such a behavior, it will be easier to modify your unintended body language and monitor its reappearance.
