Men are more preachy, but poor communication

 


Women communicaterunescape gold    better than men and actually talk less, researchers said Friday。
  Men speak more words than women in a day, but have a weaker command of language in social situations, use the same words repeatedly and pay unconvincing

compliments, British researchers said after studying how men and women communicate。
  Manchester University researchers found that when conversation centered on serious issues such as current affairs men and women used similar language,  rs gold  

but they differed widely when it came to chit-chat in social situations。
  The women in the research commissioned by British female-friendly insurance firm Sheilas' Wheels had superior communication skills and used a wider

variety of words in social situations, while men struggled with their command of language。
runescape money    "It is men who are more likely to talk for the sake of talking when engaged in social chit-chat by recycling their words with ritualistic and redundant

language that doesn't contain new information," Manchester University researcher Geoffrey Beattie said。
  The team of researchers carried recording devices over a one week period in order to transcribe 50 conversations, which were split between men and women

in serious and social conversations。
  Each conversation was given to five volunteers who read five different versions with every fifth word removed and were asked to guess the missing word。
  Men used a few simple words in social situations and the limited variety of their vocabulary became even more marked when it came to paying compliments,

researchers said。runescape items
  The study showed compliments from men were 90 percent predictable -- frequently making use of words "you," "really" and "nice" -- while women had more

detail in their compliments, making them less predictable and more genuine-sounding。
  The Manchester University team helped dispel the myth of women as chatterboxes and discovered it's men who have the tendency to blather on by analyzing

supporting research into male and female communication。
  Only two out of 56 separate studies analyzing the difference in communication between men and women concluded that women use more words per day than men

- while 24 concluded that men use more。

Yellow River authority steps up emergency drought measures

 

 

ZHENGZHOU, Feb. 16 (Xinhua) -- China's Yellow River catchment authority has launched emergency measures to restrict industrial water usage and to release  runescape accountsreservoir water for wheat crops in the face of a worsening drought.
The Yellow River Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters raised on Wednesday its drought alert from yellow to orange, the second-highest level,

indicating the area is facing the worst drought in up to half a century.
The headquarters ordered all authorities along the catchment area to initiate an emergency response to ensure water supplies for people and livestock, and to  runescape power leveling restrict industrial water consumption.
The drought, which has plagued the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River since October last year, was likely to affect more than 40 percent of crops

in the area, said a headquarters spokesman.
Light to moderate snowfall brought some relief to the wheat farmers in the region over the weekend, but not enough to end the drought. Most regions along the rs power leveling       

Yellow River received precipitation of less than 10 mm.
Thanks to the recent rise in temperatures, ice covering 120-km of the Yellow river has melted, offering more water for irrigation and other water uses.
The headquarters' statistics show that water channeled from the Yellow River reached 228 cubic meters per second at 8 a.m. Tuesday, and supplied the drought

Coleman says technology

 


has revolutionized the runescape gold  way people meet and date
"You can Google someone, you can go on Facebook, you can go on LinkedIn, you can go on Twitter, you can find out so much about these people before you even say ‘Hello,’" he says. "There should never again be a ‘blind date’, unless someone has completely voided their life of any social media."
That’s why, Coleman says, people should be careful about the image they create for themselves online. rs gold    
"If you go to most of younger women’s websites on Facebook, you will see their profiles, they got some provocative things put up there. So you have to be a bit careful of the pictures that you’re putting up. Never ever give people your land address and things like that, because you just don’t know who is reading that profile."
Coleman notes that even the older generations are dating digitally and finding love on-line.runescape money "Many of them are finding their ex-high school sweethearts on Facebook or someone they used to date years and years and years ago. And those couples are reconnecting and they are marrying. Now conversely, people are finding past love on Facebook and telling their current spouses, ‘I’m so sorry, I thought I’d never find this person again, but Facebook brought us back together. We had something special and we want to try to have it again.’ I have a friend who is a lawyer. He says in most of his divorce cases now, Facebook is being cited as a reason for that divorce."
Word of cautionrunescape items 

Lovers, Coleman warns, should also realize that e-mails and text messages can be a double edged sword.
"Let’s say that I say, ‘I don’t think we should be together anymore. I’m breaking up with you,’ and I text that. The person who gets that text message can read that over and over and over again. And the more they read it, the madder they get. That’s what social media has done. And conversely it can be, ‘I love you, I love you, I love you’ and they can go back and read that 50 times, too. So it works both ways."
With that caution in mind, Flirtexting authors Goldstein and Baniuszewicz have come up with some digital love do’s and don’ts.
"If somebody sends you a text message, you don’t have to respond back right away," says Goldstein. "In fact, we interviewed a lot of guys and they say that response time says a lot about the girl. Also abbreviations, our motto is 'if you don’t want a date, abbreviate.' So we say, spell your words out. You have the time to create a message that says exactly what you want to say in that space. And just because it’s accessible it doesn’t mean you need to be doing it 24/7. You do not want to get a marathon texting situation."
Baniuszewicz adds,"Have a healthy balance between everything; texting, Facebook, Twitter. It's a way to enhance a connection throughout the day. You need to use everything in moderation."
And, they add, even though texting is more convenient, writing a love letter, or sending a poem with a card gives a modern relationship a special personal touch that a message on Facebook just can’t match.
