Communicating with Style

Astrologers see Mercury as the symbol of communication, speech, writing, knowledge, the intellect, reason, wit, and learning. Its position in your birth chart determines the way you think, the speed with which you gather facts and process information, the style with which you express yourself, and your ability to tell a story (truthful or otherwise), give a speech, and use language. 

Because it orbits the Sun so closely, Mercury is always either in the same sign as the Sun or in an adjacent sign — and in no case is it ever more than 28° away from the Sun. To discover its position in your chart, turn to the 

Mercury s symbol has three metaphysical components the cross of earth or matter, the circle of spirit, and, perched on top, the crescent of personality looking like a tiny satellite dish, ready to receive information. 

For a description of the way your mind operates, look up Mercury in the Appendix and read the appropriate paragraph in this list  

Mercury in Taurus You re thoughtful, conservative, and remarkably sensible. You gather your facts, construct a careful argument, and pre-J sent it diplomatically. After that, you only appear to consider other

The first form led to client-server-styled systems, with the client combining user-interface and application logic and communicating via SQL requests with a database server that dealt with persistence, transactions, security, and so on. All communication involved database processing requests in SQL, and clients did not communicate with one another (except indirectly through shared data on the server). 

Proofreading Tip To communicate with your target audience, follow the capitalization conventions of the fieid. For more information on capitaiization, refer to tables 3.1 and 3.2 and The ACS Style Guide. 

Those with style are proud of their age. They are active and can communicate. They appear proud to be involved with life. Beautiful, and that s the way it should be. What is the source of this pride Why do only a select few possess it What about those who don t transmit this sense of dignity Most look worn down, defeated, or disinterested. The most significant difference is that those with greatest personal pride seem to have set standards for themselves. They apparently are living up to some self-imposed expectations. 

Analytics value getting tasks done with precision and accuracy. They pay a lot of attention to detail. Their style is systematic. They use facts, logic, and structure. When communicating with them, make sure you tie new ideas to old concepts and make sure you provide a thorough explanation (Wood-hull, 1997, p. 45). 

Due in part to his mathematically demanding and abstract style of writing, and also since his papers were published in the obscure Transactions of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences, Gibbs s work was not immediately embraced by the scientific community, with the notable exception of the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell. Consequently, many of Gibbs s results were not discovered until years or decades later by scientists ignorant of his work. 

A variety of methods have been utilized to communicate with the public and to solicit public input regarding chemical weapons destruction. Public information sessions have a very narrow dynamic. A few representatives from the Army, usually public affairs officers, are positioned at the front of the room and the citizens primarily serve an audience role. At some point in the hearing, the members of the public are invited to express their concerns or their support or to ask questions about a decision already made by the Army. This style of public interaction is often called Decide, Announce, Defend , and it offers very little in the way of a constructive role for the pubhc in actual decision-making. 

After finishing his first paper on the nature of the chemical bond, in 1931, Linus Pauling stopped basing his ideas on mathematical proofs. Chemists, he understood, were not trained to appreciate the difficult mathematics of quantum physics. To communicate with them, he developed his own theoretical style, made up in equal parts of a broad application of Erwin Schrodinger s wave mechanics, structural data from X-ray crystallography, other laboratory results from across the field of chemistry, and Pauling s own insights. 

Contributions for Volume VIII of this series are invited, and manuscripts, in triplicate and in the conventional style, should be submitted to the editor-in-chief of that volume. Professor Henry F. Holtzclaw, Jr., Department of Chemistry, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska. The services of competent checkers are always desired, and those persons interested in performing this invaluable function are urged to communicate with Professor Holtzclaw.

Throughout one s career, one works in groups with a wide variety of people. Sometimes another group member will be one s polar opposite. For example, one member prefers to take in all the information, think about it, and give a solution without detailing the steps. Another prefers to go step-by-step and always keeps a neat calculations notebook. Group members need to interact on a basis of respect for each other s unique styles. Interactions based on respect and professionalism make use of this diversity to enhance creativity, to improve communication with a wide variety of clients, and to help all group members develop a broader array of capabilities. 

How will the content and style of your communications with others need to change ... 

In order to have effective communication between individuals, it is necessary to understand how individuals think and to recognize that persons who do not think with the same style often have difficulty communicating with each other. The styles of thinking may be divided as follows ... 

At the same time, the temple institutions of fourth-millennium Mesopotamia did not operate alone, nor were they autonomous, even in the south (Pollock 1999 101). Rather, they accompanied the households that established branches of themselves in the colonies of the Middle Euphrates and elsewhere. The term colony remains appropriate whereas colonialism does not, because these centers remained attached to the home city - that was their very purpose. And it is evidenced by the inescapable fact that, over a period of several centuries, styles in material culture did not diverge between the various points in the system (Stein 1999a 21) changes over time tracked between south, north, and east. This would suggest not just continued interaction but continued identification of one community with another, southern bases and northern offshoots, maintained by conscious effort. The flow of contact was not merely bidirectional, however, and relationships of power were not analogous to parent/child. Both constituted a complex network that enmeshed members of the extended family located in residences in the south, in the north, in the east, and in whatever pasture the concatenation of current conditions rendered available. 

Keep your material interesting. In any broad communication material a questions-and-answer format, or an Interview with the Chairman (or other senior sponsor) can help present information and messages in a conversational manner that many readers find more interesting than a more static narrative. A sample interview-style article is given at the end of this chapter. 

In terms of matching mentors with mentees, BAT takes the view that there should be balance between the similar and dissimilar personalities or backgrounds of the two parties. Compatibility depends on the individuals personality type, learning, and communication style. 

Figure B.l depicts the periodic table of the elements in the current IUPAC-approved form, with US-style assignments of group numbers as used throughout this book. This standard textbook table (STT) provides an accepted common vocabulary for the row (period) and column (group) assignments of each chemical element, and is thus an asset to clear pedagogical communication.
