7 Tips to Host a Successful Zoom Meeting

Information Source: https://blog.zoom.us/video-meeting-etiquette-tips/

1. Make sure to introduce everyone at the beginning.

Just like a real meeting or social event, you wouldn’t initiate a conversation between two acquaintances who haven’t met without introducing them. The same practice applies to a virtual meeting. Be sure to introduce all parties you are hosting at the beginning to create a welcoming environment and stimulate engagement.

2. Ensure that you have a clean, work-appropriate background.

You want your attendees’ focus to be on the meeting content, not your messy office or your amazing art collection. By having a clean setting with work-appropriate art and decorations, you reduce the chance that attendees will get distracted. You should also try to attend the meeting from a quiet area that has minimal background noise and movement. Zoom’s virtual background feature is an easy way to eliminate background distractions when you have to meet in a messy or busy location. 

3. Look into the camera when talking instead of looking at yourself.

If you’re looking at yourself on the screen while you’re talking, it will seem like your attention is elsewhere. Direct eye contact into the camera while speaking gives attendees the impression that you are looking at them rather than off to the side, which creates an environment where everyone feels engaged and present in the conversation. Be sure to position your web camera and monitor at eye level so you can look into the camera and simulate that eye-to-eye connection with other attendees. 

4. Eliminate distractions and focus on the agenda.

Notifications from messaging applications, ringtones, and applications running on your desktop can be distracting, which can make your attendees feel disrespected and undervalued. Mitigating these distractions helps keep the meeting focused and free from interruption. 

5. Be aware of your audio and video settings.

Check whether your microphone is unmuted and that your camera is on to ensure that all attendees can hear you and see you when you speak. If you notice that someone in the meeting is speaking but their microphone is muted, you can alert them that they are muted by requesting that they unmute their audio in the Manage Participants tab. You also can manage how you start and join meetings — with video on, entering a meeting muted, etc. — in your Zoom Meeting Settings.

6. Only invite meeting participants who need to be there.

Inviting co-workers who don’t need to participate or make decisions can be detrimental to the quality of the meeting. Because you can send other stakeholders a summary of the meeting via Zoom Chat, you can limit the attendee list and keep the meeting streamlined. As an invitee, make sure to review any meeting invites you receive to determine whether you actually need to attend. If not, request a recording of the meeting or a summary to get the info you need. 

7. If you’re the host, stick around.

The general rule for meeting hosts: Wait until everyone else has left the meeting before hanging up, so attendees can leave at their own pace and get any final words in before disconnecting. Zoom will assign an alternate host if the original host exits first, but it’s not a good look. A host leaving everyone else in the meeting is much like bailing on your own party.

Diary of IT Man (IT人在工廠日記)

After I have left my MTR job in Feb, I tried to start my business together with another two old colleagues. The business was to promote odoo application, implement ERP/CRM/website project and TVP scheme. Unlucky, we could not close any deal from Mar to Aug; hence, I thought that it was not an potential business for us at that moment because the economic was so bad. I stopped that odoo business in Aug. Now, I am exploring other opportunity. Hope to publish good news here next time.

Discussion on Generating Scalar Wave

Spooky2 and Healy device take advantage of Scalar Wave Energy to apply in their product for healing. Actually, what is Scalar Wave Energy and how to make it ? Let’s discuss in the following.

Common wave shapes include transverse waves and longitudinal waves. In transverse waves, vibrations are at right angles to the direction of wave propagation. Common electromagnetic waves such as visible light, infrared rays, microwaves, and radio waves are all examples of transverse waves. Longitudinal waves are more difficult to visualize because they vibrate parallel to the direction of wave travel. This is because they are pressure waves propagating through a medium (such as air, water, or solid objects). The most common types of longitudinal waves are sound waves, speaker vibrations, and propulsion. And pulling the air between the speaker and you, in your ears, the air will vibrate your ear drums, and you will hear the sound. This is why no one can hear your scream in space, because there is no air to transmit sound. However, light is a transverse wave that can pass through the vacuum of space. This is because it is a stream of particles called photons. Galloping in space. The light bulb emits photons. The speaker vibrates the air in front of it.

The current scientific understanding is that two identical waves converging in different phases will be annihilated. This is called destructive interference. We know this because in experiments with light, the amplitude of the generated wave is zero. When projected on the screen, the dark area can be seen. As long as the wave destructively interferes, the dark area can be seen, but because” Energy is always conserved”, energy cannot be created or destroyed, so it should exist in a form we don’t know.

Nikola Tesla applied for a patent for the two-wire coil in 1894 and used it for pioneering high-frequency power experiments. The two-wire coil is like any other electromagnetic coil, but in this case it is created using two closely spaced wires, which are usually glued together. Double thread is nothing new or exotic, double thread can be purchased in a ready-made reel. However, if these coil-based generators are indeed effective, you will actually create a scalar field instead of a wave, so most of the scalar generators you see on the Internet are actually scalar field generators instead of scalar waves. generator.

Some scientists called Scalar waves as longitudinal electromagnetic waves, but this concept has not been adopted by mainstream science because longitudinal waves are the movement of pressure or vibration through a medium, while electromagnetic waves are particle streams like waves. Since there is no network direction, it does not take any time to propagate from one point to another, which means it can be used to provide super-light-speed communication. Some theories believe that this can also allow the formation of a synchronous duplex link between the transmitter and the receiver, and scalar does represent an undiscovered branch of science.

Another direction of research on scalar theory speculates that these elusive waves can be used for everything from the use of infinite quantum vacuum or zero-point energy sources to the creation of powerful super weapons, such as changing the local weather. Scalar weapons are also related to supernatural phenomena. Supernatural phenomenon researchers believe that scalar may be an unknown energy, which may cause the appearance of phantoms and unexplainable sounds, which may cause human anxiety, nausea, and visual and auditory hallucinations. Scalar wave research is still very new, and it is still not accepted by mainstream science, and it will continue to be studied for generations.

“Information Field” Exploration Experiment

In the research of “finger literacy”, Professor Li Sichun found that several eleven or two-year-old children have the ability to read with fingers and hear words with their ears. That is, use colored pens to write Chinese or English on a piece of paper or draw a pattern, and then fold the paper into a small paper ball and give it to the children to put in their ears or hold it in their hands. The result is as fast as tens of seconds. It takes a few minutes to tens of minutes to “see” the words written on the paper or the patterns drawn on the paper. After four years of rigorous experiments, he determined that finger literacy is a real and concrete fact. This kind of non-eye vision can only be achieved with the “screen effect” in the brain, and the palm temperature must be below 34°C. Other measured features include the fact that the subject’s eyesight will reduce the color recognition rate; the signal transmission process of the hand seems to be scanning the inside and outside of the paper sequentially, etc. These are important for understanding the principle of finger literacy in the future. data.

Explanation of Quantum Mechanics’s “Wave-Particle Duality”

Wave-particle duality (wave-particle duality) means that all particles or quanta can be described not only in particle terms, but also in wave terms. This means that the classic concepts of “particles” and “waves” have lost the ability to completely describe physical behavior in the quantum range. The former constitutes what we often call “matter”, and the typical example of the latter is light waves. The wave-particle duality solves this problem of “pure” particles and “pure” waves. It provides a theoretical framework so that any matter can sometimes exhibit particle properties and sometimes fluctuate properties.

Einstein described this phenomenon like this: “It seems that sometimes we must use one set of theories, sometimes we must use another set of theories to describe (the behavior of these particles), and sometimes we must use both. We encountered A new kind of difficulty, which forces us to use two contradictory viewpoints to describe reality. The two viewpoints alone cannot fully explain the phenomenon of light, but they can be combined together.” Wave-particle duality is One of the basic properties of microscopic particles. In 1905, Einstein proposed the light quantum explanation of the photoelectric effect, and people began to realize that light waves have the dual properties of waves and particles at the same time. In 1924, De Broglie put forward the “material wave” hypothesis, which believed that like light, all matter has wave-particle duality. According to this hypothesis, electrons will also have wave phenomena such as interference and diffraction. This was confirmed by later electron diffraction experiments. Thomas Young did the interference pattern obtained by the double slit experiment.

Explanation of Quantum Mechanics ‘s “Schrodinger’s Cat”

Schrödinger’s full name is Erwin Schrödinger. He is an Austrian physicist and one of the founders of quantum mechanics. He developed molecular biology. Doctor of Philosophy, University of Vienna. Professor of the University of Zurich, the University of Berlin and the University of Graz. Schrödinger’s cat experiment is to put a cat in an opaque box, and then connect the box to an experimental device that contains a radioactive nucleus and a container filled with toxic gas. It is assumed that the radioactive nucleus will have The possibility of decay, if it decays, it will trigger the experimental device, open the container with the poisonous gas, thereby killing the cat. According to quantum mechanics, when the nucleus is not observed, the nucleus is in a superposition of decayed and undecayed. However, if the box is opened after an hour, the experimenter can only see “decayed nuclei and dead cats” or “undecayed” “The nucleus and the live cat” two situations. What does this superposition form mean, that is, the nucleus is both decayed and undecayed… It is a superposition of two states, and only when someone observes it, it will be shown as decay. Or there is no decay. If no one cares about him, he will always be in a superposition state, which is terrible, because the cat will enter a dead and alive state with the superposition of the atomic nucleus.

When you observe this electron, there is obviously only one observation result at a time. This does not mean that it was only in this position before. Because at this time of observation, we must use a probe, such as a photon, to hit him. This photon also carries a certain amount of energy. Therefore, while observing, we have actually changed its properties.

This law is obviously difficult to understand. So when scientists first discovered the quantum world, they were also puzzled by its laws. Some scientists even refused to recognize the authenticity of certain laws, such as the famous scientists Planck and Einstein. So Schrödinger invented the metaphor of “a cat in both states of life and death” to explain this superimposed state (two different properties exist at the same time). Well, when the box is closed, it means that we haven’t observed it yet and we are in an undisturbed state. This is that he is both alive and dead (note that it is not possible to be alive or possibly dead). Our action of opening the box is to measure it, which is equivalent to intervening in his state from the outside world, and his state is changed, thus collapsing to a state, either alive or dead.

Price Comparison for Hosting Plan

According to the price comparison of hosting plan between hostgator.com and contabo.com , hostgator is cheaper, but it does not support script installation. Hence, it may a good choose to use contabo for manual application installation, such as install odoo. Moreover, as compare to AWS and Alicloud, these two will be more expensive than the contabo hosting plan.
