The 15 Most Common Body Language MistakesBernard Marr
Body language matters. Our brain relies on snap judgements to categorize another person and predict whether they are trustworthy, threatening, competent, likeable, etc. Here are the top 15 body language blunders to watch out for.
Body Language is the unspoken communication that goes on in every Face-to-Face encounter with another human being.
It tells you their true feelings towards you and how well your words are being received.
A simple roll of the eyes or hand gesture may be all it takes to convey 100% of what we mean, no words, no tone, only 7-10% is attributable to the actual words we use in a conversation.

Body Language by N.G.Palit. Body Language is the language which our body sp...Nanda Palit
Body Language is the language which our bodies speak, many times even without our conscious knowledge. But, when we speak, our body language must be in congruence with our oral words. People tend to believe our body language more than what we speak, whenever there is any variance between the two. Body language is a truth teller. We must improve our body language if we want to be a more effective communicator. Observing other's body language also helps us to understand what others want to actually convey. So, closely observing body language can greatly improve our interpersonal skills, and help us to maintain cordial relationship with every body.
communication depends on correct non-verbals. the presentation highlights how a person can make best use of non-verbals for a better and successful communication in English

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
