Musharraf knew of specific threat to my life: Benazir’s book

New York, Feb 13 : Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has written in her book that she was aware of suicide squads likely being sent from the North-West Frontier Province and Federally Administered Tribal Areas to try to assassinate her immediately on her return.
The book was released on Tuesday in New York, London and Islamabad.

“I had actually received from a sympathetic Muslim foreign government, the names and cellphone numbers of designated assassins,” Bhutto wrote.

Mimicry may boost your salesmanship

Washington, February 13 : Mimicry has the potential to be a valuable tool in interpersonal persuasion, especially when it comes to selling a product, according to a new study.

One experiment suggested showed that watching someone else eat a certain food—either goldfish crackers or animal crackers in this case—causes the viewer to be inclined to eat the same thing.
The second experiment showed that participants who had their posture and speech mimicked by a salesperson rated the product higher and consumed more of it.
