Nearest Book at Σπιτάκι

Ένα παιχνιδάκι που βρήκα σε ένα από τα blog που διαβάζω ενίοτε. Είναι αλυσίδα, οπότε αν θέλετε ακολουθήστε. Δεν μου αρέσουν τα chain letters, αλλά αυτό είναι διαφορετικό :)

I picked up this meme from DD. It’s a tag youself one, so if you fancy doing it go ahead. If you don’t have a blog, feel free to post your sentences here in the comments.
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

Here’s mine:

Keep his bed in the lowest position and raise the side rails. Obtain blood for arterial blood gas analysis, electrolyte studies, and a possible drug screen. Ready the patient for chest X-rays and possibly a CT scan of the head. Administer prescribed drugs and oxygen.

This might lead to a bimodal or trimodal posterior distribution to account for the two plausible scenarios. The prior distribution on the eight values y_j is still exchangeable, however, because you have no information telling which state corresponds to which index number. Finally, we tell you that the state not sampled (corresponding to y_8) was Nevada. Now, even before seeing the seven observed values, you cannot assign an exchangeable prior distribution to the set of eight divorce rates, since you have information that distinguished y_8 from the other seven numbers, here suspecting it to be larger than any of the others.

During this meeting, the superior points out areas of the job at which the ratee is particularly accomplished and identifies other areas that need work. In the months that follow, each individual has an opportunity to develop and improve his or her skills before the final evaluation report. In the meantime, the organization benefits from improved productivity and open communication.
In complex organizations, it is important to emphasize formal communication with structures designed to complement the chain of command.

Harvard Business Review on Breakthrough Leadership

It was like the black seawater overtaking a crimson Titanic stateroom, as recounted in one of Dad’s favorite autobiographies of all time, the gripping eyewitness account Black in My Mind, Yellow in My Legs (1943) by Herbert K. D. Lascowitz, who finally, in his ninety-seventh year, came clean about his Machiavellian behavior aboard the legendary ocean liner, admitting he strangled an unidentified woman, stripped her body, donned her clothes in order to pretend he was a woman with child, thereby securing a choice spot for himself on one of two remaining lifeboats. I tried to roll over and stand, but the carpet and the couch swerved upward and then, as shocking as lighning striking inches from my shoes, I was sick: cartoonishly sick all over the table and the carpet and the paisley couch by the fireplace and Jade’s black leather Dior sandals, even on the coffee-table book, Thank God for the Telephoto Lens: Backyard Photos of the Stars (Miller, 2002). There were also small but identifiable splatters on the cuffs of Nigel’s pants.
They staret at me.
