makes the difference between success and failure in a negotiation. 2) What does the notion of a lack of power and self-respect lead to in negotiation The negotiator with this notion is often immediately put at an
disadvantage. 3) What do positive emotions and negative emotions bring about in a negotiation Positive emotions elicit good feelings and often lead to good solutions; negative ones cloud the brain and reduce our capacity to think, learn and remember. Exercise 2 1) Appreciation: Understanding the other side ’s point of view, finding merit in their ideas and communicating your understanding. 2) Affiliation: Try to build genuine connections with the other side as human beings, not merely as adversaries. 3) Autonomy: The recognition that both you and the other side are free to affect or make decisions. 4) Status: Competition over status is a dead end. Appreciating the status of both sides leads to the mutual respect necessary for a successful negotiation. 5) Role: Don ’t needlessly limit yourself. The activities in your work and negotiations can often be expanded to be more fulfilling and
meaningful. Ex. D: After-listening Discussion 1. What is one of the best soothing methods Why One of the best soothing methods is to ask yourself, "How
important is this issue to me" Some negotiators, just like some married couples, are at risk of making every issue a big issue. We can get worked up about issues that are of little importance. As Aristotle pointed out, "One can become angry; that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose--that is not easy." 2. How do you deal with emotions in negotiations Open.

Five years ago President Bush set out his lofty vision of sending
astronauts back to the Moon by the year 2020. It was meant to be the staging post for the next frontier - a manned landing on Mars. Now a panel of space experts says that's pretty much pie in the sky. Their report, commissioned by President Obama, says the current US human spaceflight programme appears to be on an unsustainable trajectory. It suggests the only way
forward is to increase the funding of NASA by billions of dollars, or to co-operate with private companies now embarking on commercial space flights. The panel says visits to Near-Earth Objects such as asteroids are far more realistic too. The experts also argue for keeping the International Space Station going till 2020, rather than pulling the plug in six years' time. News Item 3

The researchers detected no link between the onset of dementia and education or occupation. But they found that every extra year at work was associated with a six week delay in Alzheimer's. They say this
points to the value of keeping the brain active by working. They also acknowledge that the nature of retirement is changing, and for some people it may be as intellectually stimulating as working. The Alzheimer's Research Trust, which funded the study, says more people than ever retire later in life to avert financial hardship, but there may be a silver lining: lower dementia risk.

5&media=true&parent=[**************]97 For most Americans, celebration of the nation's birthday on the 4th of July just wouldn't be complete without a fireworks show. Millions
of people across the country will close out their Independence Day festivities watching spectacles of color explode noisily in the night sky. Many people also like to mark the holiday with some smaller-scale fireworks in their own backyards -- a practice that often causes
devastating injuries. Now there is a national effort to make July 4th an enjoyable and a safe holiday.
On a hot, June day on the National Mall, a man in flame-retardant clothing lit a match under three watermelons which were blown to pieces by an illegal firework called an M-80. It was part of a demonstration by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to show what can happen to people who purchase or manufacture illegal fireworks. Harold Stratton, Chairman of the CPSC, led the nationally-televised demonstration. "Many of the illegal fireworks you see here today have been banned for nearly forty years," Mr. Stratton told those watching. "Yet we still see these devices being manufactured and sold to consumers."
Commissioner Stratton says more than 10,000 emergency room visits were attributed last year to fireworks-related injuries -- most involving children. Many of those injured suffered from burns, lacerations and hand and eye injuries. He says 50% of those
injuries were caused by legal, consumer-approved products. "Even
sparklers, for example, burn at a temperature of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (about 1,100 degrees Celsius). This is hot enough to melt metal and can easily cause third degree burns."
The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to watch a big show put on by a team of professionals. There is something magical about sitting in the dark with a large crowd of people and listening to the collective 'oohs' and 'ahs' every time a new explosion of color appears in the sky.
Felix Grucci, Jr. is Chief Financial Officer of Fireworks by Grucci, a century-old family business and one of the leading fireworks display companies in the United States. On hand for the demonstration in
Washington, he talked about the mystique of a fireworks display. "It is a magical transformation of a person's psyche and emotions," he said. "For a 20-25 minute period we can send them into places that they've never seen before."
Mr. Grucci, a former Congressman from New York, believes a
well-choreographed fireworks display can be a universally profound experience. "When you look at the night sky and you see
the majesty and beauty of God's handiwork, and then all of a sudden that becomes interrupted with man's handiwork and you turn the night sky into a kaleidoscope of color and you marry that color to sound, and all of a sudden you're exciting the sights and senses of an individual, the fireworks have this uncanny ability to be able to transverse age groups, ethnic backgrounds and social-economic levels." He adds, "The richest of the rich can stand next to the most humble of humble and be able to get the same level of firework entertainment."
It's that universally entertaining quality of a good fireworks display that makes private purchases of these explosive devices so tempting, and so potentially dangerous. Fireworks displays provided by licensed
operators are legal in every state. But laws vary from state-to-state regarding what consumer firework products may be sold. Firecrackers, sparklers and small rockets are what most people like to buy.
Legal or not, many Americans consider fireworks to be essential to their 4th of July celebrations. Todd Race of Adams, New York, who was visiting the Mall with his family said they enjoy the fun of lighting sparklers in the backyard every July4th. "Sparklers are
about all you can buy up around us. But they're illegal in New York." When asked where he purchases those prohibited products, he sheepishly remarked, "At illegal stands."
Some consumer groups have lobbied to make all fireworks illegal. Consumer Products Safety Commission Chairman Harold Stratton believes that by following proper instructions, consumer fireworks are generally very safe. Many would agree that a fireworks-free 4th of July would have disappointed founding father John Adams. Just after the Continental Congress
proclaimed the colonies' independence from England in 1776, Mr. Adams wrote this about public celebrations on July 4th: "The day will be the most memorable in the history of America," he predicted. "It will be celebrated by succeeding generations with bonfires and
illuminations from one end of the continent to the other, from this day forward, evermore." Part 2 Passage Exercise B 1. Superstition seems to run, a submerged river of crude religion, below the surface of human consciousness. 2. Superstition, the theologians tell us, comes from a Latin word which means to stand in terror of the Deity.
3. The psychoanalysts have their explanation, but calling a superstition a compulsion neurosis does not banish it. 4. Superstition seems to have
a link with some body of belief that far antedates the religions we know.
5. Superstition in general is linked to a man ’s yearning to know his fate, and to have some hand in deciding it. Exercise C 1. T 2. T 3. T 4. T 5. F 6. F 7. F 8. F
