Today, you can choose from a wide array of appliances that are being sold in the current market. When you look at the current market, you do not only get to have the newest appliances but also can get what you call the graded appliances. Graded appliances seem to be a thing in the present as more people are looking for cheaper quality appliances. If you can find some imperfections from the appliances being sold, they are what you call the graded appliances. When you look at these appliances, you will only notice small scratches or even very small dents on its outside. Bear in mind that there will also be appliances that are not just being made anymore with their appliance line and even if they do not have some imperfections, they are still being sold as graded appliances. It does not matter if you will be getting some appliances that are new or graded just as long as you make the best choice of them.
Now, what could be the things that you must consider in the appliances that you are getting new or graded?
Price: In terms of the appliances that you are getting, the first thing that you need to consider is their price. If you will be getting new appliances, make sure to make price comparisons before buying them so you are sure that you are not being ripped off. When it comes to graded appliances, on the other hand, no matter the case, they should always have cheap price tags.
Brand: When it comes to the appliances that you will be buying, you have to be particular about the reputation of their manufacturer. Despite graded appliances being branded, since they already have some blemishes, then you should still expect the brand to sell it at a lesser price.
Grade: If you will be getting appliances, then you will be choosing between the Grade A ones and the Grade B ones. When it comes to having Grade A appliances, they have some blemishes with them from either their front part or their rear part, one that you can easily see. When it comes to Grade B appliances then, you will see that their blemishes can be seen just about each part.
Quality: When you get either new appliances or graded appliances, you must still make sure to look at their quality. Both new appliances and graded appliances must still be able to perform their very best. What you need to know about graded appliances is that they can still perform their best even when their physical appearance no longer looks its best.
Warranty: No matter if you are getting new appliances or graded appliances, be sure that they have some warranty. The length of warranty differs from one brand to another but usually you will have some labor warranty and product warranty.

New Jersey: Assembly Lawmakers Approve Marijuana Decriminalization Legislation
Members of the New Jersey state Assembly approved a substitute version of A1897 by a 63-10 vote, with five abstentions. As currently written, the measure decriminalizes the possession and distribution of up to two ounces of marijuana by adults — making these activities punishable by a $50 fine. Those found to be in violation of the law will no longer be arrested or saddled with a criminal record.
Under current law, marijuana possession offenders may receive up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Annually, police make over 30,000 marijuana-related arrests in New Jersey. That total is among the highest of any state in the nation.
"I thank legislative leaders for taking action on this important issue," said Charlana McKeithen, Garden State NORML Executive Director. "No New Jerseyan should have to live in fear of an arrest record and the collateral consequences that are associated with it. New Jersey has a unique opportunity to become a leader in marijuana policy reform in the US. As we commemorate Juneteenth this week, Garden State NORML looks forward to working to move the envelope forward by advocating for decriminalizing low level marijuana arrests immediately, while also investing in the communities most harmed by cannabis criminalization."
The legislation now moves to the state Senate for further consideration.
Twenty six additional states and the District of Columbia have either legalized or decriminalized the adult possession and use of marijuana.
Earlier this week, members of the NJ Assembly Community Development and Affairs Committee approved a substitute version of the measure, which was combined with A4269, a separate pending decriminalization measure. As originally written, A1897 would have decriminalized the possession of up to 10 grams of marijuana.
Garden State NORML is urging lawmakers to adopt additional provisions included in a measure currently pending in the Senate, S2535. Specifically, advocates seek the inclusion of broader social justice provisions that seek to provide relief to those communities disproportionately targeted and destroyed by the War on Drugs, such as barring police from stopping and searching people because they smell marijuana; allowing those on probation or parole to use marijuana without it impacting their release; and directing New Jersey courts to develop a system to seal past conviction records.
"The time for lawmakers to take action is long overdue," said NORML State Policies Coordinator Carly Wolf. "Law enforcement continues to arrest almost 100 New Jerseyans every day for marijuana violations, a disproportionate number of whom are young, poor, and/or people of color. Passage of this legislation is the first step in repairing some of the harms caused by the War on Drugs. I urge members of the Senate to amend the bill to include even broader social justice reforms, and to take swift action to send the measure to Governor Murphy's desk."
This vote comes months before New Jersey voters decide on a state-wide ballot initiative in the November 2020 election to regulate marijuana for adults in the Garden State. The question reads:
Do you approve amending the Constitution to legalize a controlled form of marijuana called "cannabis"?
Only adults at least 21 years of age could use cannabis. The State commission created to oversee the State's medical cannabis program would also oversee the new, personal use cannabis market.
Cannabis products would be subject to the State sales tax. If authorized by the Legislature, a municipality may pass a local ordinance to charge a local tax on cannabis products.
Are you a New Jersey resident? If so, send a message to your lawmakers in support of decriminalization efforts now!

If there is any truth biotech founders may rely on, it is that they will be Googled by potential investors, says Bioassociate's Julia Skripka-Serry. Building a bio-brand from day zero can become the defining factor in a biotech's investability and survival.
Most founders of young biotechs wouldn't consider brand building relevant to their business strategy until at least half a decade post-inception. Branding through the valley of death may seem like a sour paradox, not in the least because most bio-marketing literature out there focuses far too much on the product, and not enough on the components which create the company's intrinsic value.
If you happen to belong to the contingent of brand-skeptical founders, perhaps now is the time for a paradigm shift. Building a company brand from moment zero can become the defining factor in your biotech's investability and survival — unless, of course, you happen to be a serial entrepreneur with millions to spend on your new venture.
Your web search results talk, and if there is any truth biotech founders may rely on, it is that they will be Googled by potential investors. Has your company's founding scientist published breakthrough scientific material? Get him to summarize and publish it on a company blog (in layman's terms!). Has the therapeutic compound you are working on achieved outstanding results in pivotal trials? Let the world know about it on your company's LinkedIn page. Or, perhaps, your key technology is in-licensed and the management holds a wealth of experience in commercializing projects? Consider contributing a thought-leadership article on pharmaphorum. Not only will this visibility give the company street cred, but it will help people understand the technology. Scientific journals aren't titled Harry Potter and Nature Biotechnology for a reason – perhaps if scientific publications were thrilling (and cheap!) reads, investors wouldn't liken biotech investment to a trip to Vegas.
A "Bio-brand" is essentially a collective of all the components which speak the company name. This includes the founders' and employees' reputation and expertise, intellectual property, publications, peer reviews and, most of all, the company's presence in the Googlosphere.
Blogger, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, a wealth of online forums and leading websites which appreciate expert-based contribution are all valuable and completely free tools for establishing a solid company brand and for boosting the company's visibility in search results.
An important side-note to keep in mind is that technology does not found itself, and investors tend to care immensely about a company's management. If every founder and employee published at least one thought-leadership article before fundraising, each would create a personal brand under the company umbrella, and the "sum of the jockeys" would contribute to a nifty initial value. It's no surprise that many leading companies request that their employees tweet and blog under the company brand: a personal brand is, rather bluntly, a personal price tag. And the sum of price tags is the worth of the shop.
It is worth mentioning that screaming your company's name for no apparent reason is a faux pas: unlike other industries, marketing in biotech is 99% information-driven, where advertisements are value-carrying words, rather than shrewd slogans and subliminal imagery. When releasing information to the great wide web, put yourself in the shoes of the investor.
It is astounding how many of those boxes an online search can help tick off. Keep these items in mind when producing online information, and watch your company's value grow in the investor's eyes.
Unlike all the other steps I mentioned, a valuation report isn't free, but it is certainly one of the only affordable and worthwhile options for brand building which I would recommend.

New Government, Buried Tensions In Macedonia
Home/European Union, Greece, News, Politics/New Government, Buried Tensions In Macedonia
By JOSH FRIEDMAN
SKOPJE, Macedonia – Following a turbulent two-year political crisis, Macedonia has a new government and is seeking to expedite its bids to join NATO and the European Union. While tensions have cooled in Macedonia and Skopje has raised its standing in Brussels, the country's internal ethnic conflict remains very much unresolved and, at the moment, overlooked.
During the political crisis, both major parties in Macedonia orchestrated major protests and sporadic violence occurred. Less than two months ago, a mob stormed the Macedonian parliament and bloodied politicians, including the man who is now prime minister.
RELATED: NO GOVERNMENT, HIGH TENSION IN MACEDONIA
Zoran Zaev, Macedonia's new western-backed prime minister, says he plans to lead the country into NATO and the EU. The first order of business for Zaev appears to be resolving Skopje's multi-decade name dispute with Athens. Greece objects to the name of its northern neighbor, arguing that the name of the country is a territorial claim on the northern Greek region of Macedonia. Under Zaev, Macedonia is reportedly considering entering NATO under the provisional name of Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM).

If Macedonia joins NATO, that will be a political victory for Zaev and the West. Zaev is replacing Macedonia's former nationalist prime minister Nikola Gruevski, who despite being under criminal investigation, received more votes than Zaev in last December's parliamentary elections. Gruevski ran afoul of the West and forged some political ties with Russia, despite pursuing integration into NATO and the EU. In recent years, Moscow has been jockeying for influence in the Western Balkans, and NATO in a sense is rushing to secure control of the region.

While the current international news cycle is focused on the name dispute, Macedonia's internal ethnic conflict may very well be the bigger and longer-lasting problem. Macedonia's ethnic Albanian minority is demanding that Albanian be made an official language nationwide. Macedonian nationalists see the issue as a stepping stone to federalization of the country and possibly secession. As with other ethnic disputes in the Balkans, there is no clear path to resolution and the problem could linger for many years.

Our review of the American Airpower Museum continues.
One of the most interesting things you will see on the special event weekends is the inside of a control tower. A shuttle (see photo below) escorts visitors to the base of five-story brick building.
After you huff and puff your way up the stairs you will experience what it is like to be an air traffic controller. Just imagine it's 1944 and scads of Thunderbolts are on the ramp with their engines running up getting ready for the trek overseas to see combat.
If you want to experience more WWII history you can take in the many displays and dioramas inside the AAM hangar. And, there is a gift shop if you want to take home a memento.
AAP is an aviation Mecca rich in aviation history, so please come visit even if it isn't a holiday weekend. Regular admission hours are 10:30AM to 4PM Thursday through Sunday.

Only 2018 on the waters of Ukraine has killed 378 people. However, 241 people were saved.
Since the beginning of year on reservoirs of Ukraine drowned 378 people, including 35 children. Reports a press about it-service gschs.
At the same time, were saved 241 person, including 20 children.
"The most common cause of accidents on the water is a violation of the rules of safe behavior of citizens. In particular, is swimming in unequipped places and bathing in a drunken state", – explained in gschs.
Since the beginning of June on the waters of the country killed more than 40 Ukrainians.
Now rescuers are patrolling recreation places at the water and carry out explanatory work with citizens on compliance with safety regulations.
As reported, on may 24 in Chernivtsi drowned three people – two children and 18-year-old boy.

Venetia Berry
in the manner of smoke
Venetia Berry (b. 1993) lives and works in London. She trained in Florence at the Charles H. Cecil School, 2012 and the Leith School of Art, Edinburgh from 2012-2014; concluding her studies at the Royal Drawing School, London in 2017.
An accomplished oil painter, she has a particular interest in the female nude which she articulates through a process of lyrical abstraction. Transforming her subjects via a language of languid fluidity, her forms appear to rise and fall in space, or as she says, 'to drift across the page or canvas like apparitions or ethereal beings'. The intertwining of faces, shoulders, arms, calves and buttocks define Berry's sensitivity to line and asymmetrical composition and find multiple synergies with the same flow found in nature.
Notable exhibitions include: 'Art, Women and the Evolution; Bloomsbury', London (2018); 'The Great Women Artists', Katy Hessel, curates at Mother London, London (2017); 'Modern Bodies', Alex Eagle Studio, London, (2017); 'Further Away', India Dickinson Gallery, London (2017); 'Transparent Platform', L'Escargot, London (2016).


A devastating fact that most New Yorkers do not know: 70% of the city's homeless population is families with children. WIN, the city's largest provider of shelters and services for homeless families, seeks to change that. In collaboration with SKDKnickerbocker, we worked with WIN to create a gala fundraising video as well as a series of videos for social media about the amazing diversity of programs that WIN offers to support all members of a family as they seek a path out of homelessness.

Q: Seekbar is crashing app Whenever I
    seekBar.setMax(20);
    seekBar.setProgress(10);

the app crashes. One or both of these crashes the app. (Are they deprecated?)
If I comment these two lines out and add the
setOnSeekBarChangeListener, then the listener will crash the app.
I'm not sure why, but I'm having issues using the Seekbar. Any help is super appreciated.

    setContentView(R.layout.yourview)

    ListView timesTableListView = findViewById(R.id.listView);
    SeekBar timesTablesSeekBar = findViewById(R.id.seekBar);
}

A: After your edit:
Here, you are trying to initialize ListView & SeekBar before inflating the layout:
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        ListView timesTableListView = findViewById(R.id.listView);
        SeekBar timesTablesSeekBar = findViewById(R.id.seekBar);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

Instead, inflate your layout first then initialize widgets or etc.
        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

            // Here, this is the solution.
            ListView timesTableListView = findViewById(R.id.listView);
            SeekBar timesTablesSeekBar = findViewById(R.id.seekBar);

            // Here your other codes ...

}

A: You need to add
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

after
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

Tip to identify problem
Always try to read logs specially error logs in case of App Crashing.
If you cannot find solution for that problem don't forget to post error logs while posting your question.
Happy coding :)

U.S. Starts Scaling Back Program Of 'Enhanced' Mad-Cow Testing
Bill Tomson
Updated Sept. 8, 2006 12:01 am ET
Federal inspectors at U.S. beef-packing plants have already been told to reduce the number of cattle carcasses held for mad-cow disease testing as the government winds down its "enhanced" surveillance program.
The Agriculture Department's testing contracts with laboratories across the country have been renegotiated or canceled, spokeswoman Terri Teuber said. A broad spectrum of sampling is still needed, she said, but the volume will be substantially less.


Honey is Actually Bee Barf?
Everyone knows that bees are responsible for making honey, but the actual process is not as commonly known. When our hunting and scavenging begins and ends at grocery stores, it's easy to forget about the workers that make the product available to add to tea or spread on bread. In order to produce one jar of honey a bee would typically need to circle the world three times and within the span of a year a colony of bees can consume up to around 200 pounds of honey.
Bees fly from flower to flower searching for sugary liquid called nectar. This nectar is siphoned out of flowers through the bee's long tongue-like structure. The sweet liquid is then stored in the bee's crop or other stomach. When the nectar is inside the crop, it comes into contact with enzymes that alter the chemical composition and pH of the liquid. This chemical change makes the nectar suitable for long term storage.
The scavenging bee then returns to the hive to transfer partially digested nectar into another bee's mouth. The bee then transfers this liquid into a honeycomb. At this point, the partially digested nectar is still watery and not viscous. In order for the watery nectar to thicken, bees fan individual honeycombs with their wings to increase the rate of evaporation. After the majority of the water evaporates, they seal the comb with liquid excreted from their abdomen. When this liquid dries it turns into beeswax and the honey can then be stored long term, but especially for winter months when food is scarce.
There are other claims made about the health benefits of honey ranging from increased athletic performance to reducing ulcers, but they have not been thoroughly tested and more evidence is needed before these types of statements can be made.
Why Does Honey Turn Solid?
It is a common misconception to believe that honey has gone bad and needs to be thrown out if it turns solid. When honey turns into a solid it goes through a process known as crystallization. Crystallization is primarily affected by the glucose to fructose ratio. A typical jar of honey has glucose to fructose ratios similar to high fructose corn syrup; however, there are many different types of honey. Honey that contains more glucose will crystallize more readily than honey that has less glucose content.
When glucose crystallizes it separates from water. As crystallization continues, the solution becomes a stable and saturated form. Sometimes honey will separate into two distinct layers—with the crystallized layer at the bottom and the liquid at the top—or crystallization can be spread uniformly throughout. The latter is responsible for the chunky, unappetizing honey that is difficult to scoop and use as a spread.
To reverse the crystallization process and make your honey useable again, take the lid off of the honey jar and place it in a hot water bath for a few minutes until the glucose and fructose recombine. If you have a plastic honey container, do the same, but using warm water for a longer duration, so you don't melt the plastic. You'll notice that the honey will look exactly like it did the day you bought it. Feel free to give this a try if your honey crystallizes or separates.
Pasteurized honey is honey that is heated at very high temperatures to destroy yeast cells and other microbes that may have entered the honey during the manufacturing process. However, because pasteurization does have a unique destructive ability, deterioration of the honey is commonly seen through decreased enzyme activity as well as alteration of taste, fragrance, and appearance. Pasteurized honey tends to have a darker color.
Raw honey is as close to eating honey out of a beehive as you can get. It is obtained by extraction from the beehive followed by a settling or straining process. No heat is added during the manufacturing of raw honey. This type of honey may contain pollen and bits of wax normally found in suspension from the manufacturing process. Minimally processed honey is also sometimes sold as raw honey, so be sure to pay attention to the labels.
Filtered honey is a honey that has been filtered so that all of the pollen grains, air bubbles, and other noticeable particles are removed. This is probably the most common type of honey found in supermarkets. Though filtered honey is not pasteurized, it is still heated to high temperatures, which allows it to be filtered more easily. Filtered honey tends to have a lighter color and does not crystallize as rapidly as other types of honey.
Higher grades of honey, such as A-grade honey, will have less water content. They will also be free from caramelization, smoke, fermentation, chemicals, and other substances that could potentially alter the flavor, aroma, or appearance of the honey.
Make your own honey beer! Honey is easily fermentable and very stable due to its low water content. Often times beer brewers will add honey to raise the alcoholic content of beer while lightening the body. People like to drink beers that have been fermented by honey because they tend to be less bitter. Raw honey is best for brewing as it is in an unheated and unprocessed state where all of its innate qualities remain intact.
Eat the honeycomb! Some people have stated that crunchy honey combs taste great when paired with cheeses. Chew on the wax until the honey is gone and spit out the beeswax when finished.
Treat your wounds! Honey is sometimes used as an antiseptic because it contains antimicrobial properties. Topical administration of honey has aided in the treatment of wounds and burns.
There are several different types of honey and they can all be used for different purposes. Next time you're at the grocery store you can think about tasting a different type of honey or pairing it with different foods like salads or cookies and cake.

This is the water logging in front of our house. It occurs after even a small rain. The drainage is on the opposite side which is marked with 'x' but the slope is given towards our side! Everytime the road is relaid in the same way even if pointed out the logic. Only once, few years back, they tried to correct when a complaint was made in the Indian Express 'Action Please'. After that it is back to square one.
The raise given to the right side of the drainage point only favours car(s) going in and out of the opposite compound rather than draining of rain water. Some workers from the corporation, 'employed privately', tried to raise the left side and cover the drainage opening also but stopped after objection was raised by us.
The purpose of this post is not to highlight the problem faced by us. We are used to it and I am even thinking of constructing a RWH structure inside our compound and divert that water to it.
This shows the way our Corporation works! This shows that plans are only on paper and money power is what executes the plan, sometimes literally. Money power and political power complement each other and those who have neither only watch from the side lines waiting for elections, not to try to elect good(!) candidates but get their '30 silvers' for closing their eyes for the next five years.
Moral of the story is don't blame anyone else for your plight. Walk/ride/drive carefully!
This post doesn't relate to traffic rules but just to tell you that there are rules we take for granted in our life. I am not talking in mataphors here but just that I should have read the terms and conditions of Spicejet before booking a ticket online for my friend using my credit card. My friend had to cancel his programme but I could not cancel the ticket in the normal sense. Normally cancellation of ticket will result in deduction of a fee and the balance will be credited to my card account. But not so with Spicejet policy! The cancellation fee is Rs 750/- and the balance will also not be refunded but kept in a shell account which is valid for only one year within which you have to use it to book another ticket. Otherwise the amount will be forfeited. Booking another ticket also seems to be through a process which will burden you with excess loss. Spicejet must be minting money!
November 30th, 2008Are you awesome?
Found on the FireFTP site.
Take what you're passionate about and see how you can also make it beneficial to your community.
If you own a business, donate proceeds to green energy or charity or something beneficial.
Support local businesses and encourage them to do the above.
Buy locally grown food and get a reusable bag.
Ride your bike instead of taking your car.
Go hang out with your kids more.
Go hang out with your parents more.
Take only what you need, not what you can get.
Most of our RWH structures are namesake structures which will not hold water. Set up to fool the government knowing well that there will not be any inspection and even if there is one it is easy to get approval otherwise.
We find it a difficult task to segregate wastes into organic and non-organic as the corporation wanted us to do and here too the short comings are not followed up on.
It is easy for us to dispose our waste including plastic covers into storm water drains as rains in Chennai are a rare occurrence!

Franchisee Unable to Navigate Legal Gauntlet Protecting Franchisor Against Fraud
Apr 5, 2019 - Judge's Distribution and Franchise Rulings from the Front Lines by Jeffrey M. Goldstein |
Many esoteric legal doctrines have evolved historically to blunt the impact of fraud accusations and claims, especially in franchise cases. These include the requirements that the false representation be of a material fact that a reasonable person would reply upon, and that the defendant know that his representation is false. Further, fraud usually cannot be based on a promise or failure to meet a promise (versus a fact) unless the promisor never intended to perform. In a recent case, the court applied all of these principles to reject a franchisee's fraud allegations reasoning that the franchisee's allegations were merely "a business deal gone bad." Kiddie Acad. Domestic Franchising, LLC v. Wonder World Learning, LLC, Civil Action No. ELH-17-3420, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 56126, at *44-46 (D. Md. Mar. 31, 2019). In this regard, the Court summarized some of the franchisee's rejected fraud claims:
For example, counterclaimants contend that on May 9, 2011, during the couple's visit to Kiddie Academy in Maryland, Commarota allegedly told the defendants that "'his team' would guide them through the entire construction process." ECF 25, ¶ 24. As Kiddie Academy's VP of Construction, Commarota held himself out as knowledgeable in construction and certainly knowledgeable in Kiddie's construction process. The Amended Counterclaim alleges that Commarota's statements were false because he knew that Kiddie "did not typically guide franchisees through the entire construction process" and, allegedly, Kiddie never intended to guide defendants. Id. ¶ 24.
In addition, counterclaimants assert that Helwig and Wise falsely assured "Kiddie's support," and assured defendants that "their lack of industry experience would not be an issue due to Kiddie's proven curriculum, marketing, and support from all Kiddie's departments." Id. ¶ 28; see also id. ¶ 32. However, Kiddie did "not buil[d] a platform which would guide them to success." Id. ¶ 28. At a training on April 20, 2015, Kiddie also promised counterclaimants that its employees "would be present for the interviews [*45] of candidates for the franchise's 'Director," but "Kiddie never provided the promised assistance with the Director selection." Id. ¶ 56.
Defendants also complain that Kiddie withheld information on the performance of other franchisees and misled them on the length of time it would take for their franchise to become profitable. Id. ¶ 30. Further, they claim Kiddie understated their payroll taxes and property taxes. Yet, such information would seem equally available to defendants. Id. They also complain about "mistakes" in construction, id. ¶ 47, but such allegations plainly do not sound in fraud.
Further, defendants complain that between February and May of 2011, Kiddie assured them that the site selection process "takes anywhere from 3 to 9 months . . . ." Id. ¶ 21. Yet, they contend that Frick knew that it "often took far longer . . . ." Id. Defendants also assert that Kiddie did not approve a site for them in Texas until November 2013. Id. ¶ 37. Obviously, that far exceeded 3 to 9 months. Yet, defendants paid a franchise fee of $50,000 in March 2014 (id. ¶ 40), well after they would have known that the alleged representation as to the length of the site selection process (3 to 9 months) [*46] was incorrect.
Indeed, the fraud claims are replete with allegations that do not smack of fraud: Kiddie underestimated by $32,000 the cost of a playground "splash pad," id. ¶ 50; Kiddie did not tell defendants that the construction plans would have to be "re-permitted without the 'splash pad,'" id. ¶ 51; defendants chose to reject Kiddie's architect choice, reflecting that defendants were not as dependent on Kiddie as they would like to suggest. Id. ¶ 52.

Do you know that 75% of people you interact with communicate in different ways than you do?
Knowing how to recognize the basic communication styles and differences will allow you to use your other leadership tools and skills more efficiently and effectively.
To identify assertiveness, people are either more "tell oriented", meaning they may talk louder, are faster paced. They have more opinions, are faster to make decisions, and have more eye contact. Or they are more "ask oriented", meaning they are slower paced, softer spoken, slower to make decisions and have less eye contact.
To identify responsiveness, people are either more "controlled", meaning they are more fact and task oriented, less expression and more monotone. Or they are more "emotive", meaning they are more feeling and people oriented. They use more gestures, have more inflection, and are more varied pace.
Is this person more of an "ask" person, or a "tell" person?
Are they more "emotive" and "people oriented", or are they more "controlled" and "task oriented"?
One glaring way to see this is in how others start an interaction with you. Do they begin by talking about your day, weekend or evening and how things are going? Or do they get right down to business, and then maybe after business has been completed, they might ask about your day and how things are going?
First, understand your style, how you communicate, and how you like to be communicated with. Then, create a better understanding of how other styles communicate and how they like to be communicated with. This opens up a whole new opportunity to improve communication and relationships in the workplace.
Remember, 75% of people you interact with communicate in different ways than you do. Learning how to flex allows the other person to feel more comfortable and will be more open and appreciative of your approach.

Inmate jumps from moving van on southbound US 127, suffers critical injuries
Ken Palmer
LANSING - A section of southbound U.S. 127 in Lansing was closed for several hours on Wednesday afternoon after an Ingham County Jail inmate jumped from a moving transport vehicle, police said.
The male inmate, who was wearing leg irons, managed to force open the door of the transport van and jumped, Ingham County Sheriff Scott Wriggelsworth said. The inmate suffered critical injuries.
The inmate's name and age were not immediately released, and the incident remains under investigation, Wriggelsworth said.
The incident happened shortly after 2 p.m. in the southbound lanes, just south of Mt. Hope Avenue, Wriggelsworth said.
The bus was carrying 11 inmates and was en route from the Veteran's Memorial Courthouse in downtown Lansing to the jail in Mason, he said.
The inmates were being transported by one deputy, per standard procedure, the sheriff said. He said Michigan State Police are investigating the incident, including how the inmate managed to open the door while the vehicle was moving.
The southbound lanes were closed at Trowbridge Road, and eastbound Interstate 496 also was closed at the U.S. 127 interchange. All lanes were reopened around 5 p.m.
The northbound lanes were not closed, although traffic was backing up in that area, according to police dispatch reports.

1 When King Astyages joined his ancestors, Cyrus of Persia succeeded him.
2 Daniel was very close to the king, who respected him more than any of his other friends.
3 Now, in Babylon there was an idol called Bel, to which twelve bushels of the finest flour, forty sheep and six measures of wine were offered every day.

4 The king venerated this idol and used to go and worship it every day. Daniel, however, worshipped his own God.
5 'Why do you not worship Bel?' the king asked Daniel. 'I do not worship idols made by human hand,' Daniel replied, 'I worship the living God who made heaven and earth and who is lord over all living creatures.'
6 'Do you not believe, then,' said the king, 'that Bel is a living god? Can you not see how much he eats and drinks each day?'
7 Daniel laughed. 'Your Majesty,' he said, 'do not be taken in; he is clay inside, and bronze outside, and has never eaten or drunk anything.'
8 This made the king angry; he summoned his priests, 'Tell me who eats all this food,' he said, 'or die. Prove to me that Bel really eats it, and I will have Daniel put to death for blaspheming him.'
9 Daniel said to the king, 'Let it be as you say.'
10 There were seventy of these priests, to say nothing of their wives and children. The king went to the temple of Bel, taking Daniel with him.
11 The priests of Bel said to him, 'We shall now go out, and you, Your Majesty, will lay out the meal and mix the wine and set it out. Then, lock the door and seal it with your personal seal. If, when you return in the morning, you do not find that everything has been eaten by Bel,let us be put to death; otherwise let Daniel, that slanderer!'
12 They were thinking -- hence their confidence -- of a secret entrance which they had made under the table, and by which they came in regularly and took the offerings away.
13 When the priests had gone and the king had set out the food for Bel,
14 Daniel made his servants bring ashes and spread them all over the temple floor, with no other witness than the king. They then left the building, shut the door and, sealing it with the king's seal, went away.
15 That night, as usual, the priests came with their wives and children; they ate and drank everything.
16 The king was up very early next morning, and Daniel with him.
17 'Daniel,' said the king, 'are the seals intact?' 'They are intact, Your Majesty,' he replied.
18 The king then opened the door and, taking one look at the table, exclaimed, 'You are great, O Bel! There is no deception in you!'
19 But Daniel laughed; and, restraining the king from going in any further, he said, 'Look at the floor and take note whose footmarks these are!'
20 'I can see the footmarks of men, of women and of children,' said the king,
21 and angrily ordered the priests to be arrested, with their wives and children. They then showed him the secret door through which they used to come and take what was on the table.
22 The king had them put to death and handed Bel over to Daniel who destroyed both the idol and its temple.
23 There was a great dragon which the Babylonians worshipped too.
24 The king said to Daniel, 'Are you going to tell me that this is made of bronze? Look, it is alive; it eats and drinks; you cannot deny that this is a living god; worship it, then.'
25 Daniel replied, 'I will worship the Lord my God; he is the living God. With your permission, Your Majesty, without using either sword or club, I shall kill this dragon.'
26 'You have my permission,' said the king.
27 Whereupon, Daniel took some pitch, some fat and some hair and boiled them up together, rolled the mixture into balls and fed them to the dragon; the dragon swallowed them and burst. Daniel said, 'Now look at the sort of thing you worship!'
28 The Babylonians were furious when they heard about this and rose against the king. 'The king has turned Jew,' they said, 'he has allowed Bel to be overthrown, and the dragon to be killed, and he has put the priests to death.'
29 So they went to the king and said, 'Hand Daniel over to us or else we shall kill you and your family.'
30 They pressed him so hard that the king found himself forced to hand Daniel over to them.
31 They threw Daniel into the lion pit, and there he stayed for six days.
32 In the pit were seven lions, which were given two human bodies and two sheep every day; but for this period they were not given anything, to make sure they would eat Daniel.
33 Now, the prophet Habakkuk was in Judaea: he had been making a stew and breaking up bread into a basket. He was on his way to the fields, taking this to the harvesters,
34 when the angel of the Lord spoke to him, 'Take the meal you are carrying to Babylon, and give it to Daniel in the lion pit.'
35 'Lord,' replied Habakkuk, 'I have not even seen Babylon and know nothing about this pit.'
36 The angel of the Lord took hold of his head and carried him off by the hair to Babylon where, with a great blast of his breath, he set Habakkuk down on the edge of the pit.
37 'Daniel, Daniel,' Habakkuk shouted, 'take the meal that God has sent you.'
38 And Daniel said, 'You have kept me in mind, O God; you have not deserted those who love you.'
39 Rising to his feet, he ate the meal, while the angel of God carried Habakkuk back in a moment to his own country.
40 On the seventh day, the king came to lament over Daniel; on reaching the pit he looked inside, and there sat Daniel.
41 'You are great, O Lord, God of Daniel,' he exclaimed, 'there is no god but you!'
42 He then had Daniel released from the pit and the plotters of Daniel's ruin thrown in instead, where they were instantly eaten before his eyes.

Matthew 28:19 is missing in some Hebrew versions of the Bible, such as Shem-Tov's, but they appear in all the known Greek manuscripts, and also in the Coptic text: The Coptics between 200-300 A.D. Translated from Greek in to Coptic for thier own Bible. The Nicene creed didnt appear until 325 A.D.- this was well after the Coptic texts appeared in Egypt. Why are the Coptic texts ignored? It is because it shows that people who understood Koine Greek well who used Koine Greek as the main Administrtative language in Egypt at the time, translated John 1:1 c as "a god".
"Go, baptizing all nations, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
That is not necessarily a Trinitarian forumla, just because Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are mentioned together in baptism. Matthew does not say, as some Trinitarian formulas say, "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, One God." He simply acknowledges that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit cooperate in the life of the new Christian. Nothing in Matthew 28:19 says that the three are one God, and to make more of this verse than what it says is wrong."

The council unanimously approved a 2.25 percent tax that only applies to income over $250,000 yearly.
Tuesday night, Seattle City Council held an intense public meeting on the killing of Charleena Lyles.
Of 65 public comments over more than two hours, only a handful were against the income tax.
The bill was rushed through council to head-off a possible ballot challenge.
It's been a long road to an imperfect solution.
And then there are some that say it goes too far.
The first-term councilmember considered throwing her hat into the wide-open mayor's race, but won't.

Was the Copenhagen explosion terror-related?
The news on Friday of an explosion at Hotel Jørgensen in the centre of Copenhagen and the initial report that the arrested suspect possessed effects suggesting he might have been targeting the Viby headquarters of Jyllands-Posten, the newspaper that published the 2005 Mohammad cartoons, is disturbing to say the least.
The last bit of info, reported by the muck-raking tabloid Ekstra Bladet, that the suspect had a map with the newspaper's address circled is apparently false, which I guess is a relief. The suspect, who apparently detonated his small bomb — perhaps intended for a letter — accidentally was hurt, but capable of interrogation via a French interpreter on Friday. He didn't reveal anything, and the police are reluctant to jump to conclusions as to whether the he was intending to carry out a terrorist attack. They have released footage of him and a currently pursuing leads obtained from the public.
It'll be interesting to see whether their fears will be confirmed. The incident follows the arrest in Chicago last year of Tahawwur Rana and David Headley, suspected of planning to bomb Jyllands-Posten, and the latter involved in the planning of the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack, as well as the home invasion earlier this year of the house 'bomb in turban' cartoonist Kurt Westergaard. Danes are slowly getting used to the still very new reality of being potential targets of terrorist attacks and one fears a political overreaction. But at least prime minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen emphasised in his initial statement that Danes should avoid letting it effect their daily way of life.


What are the Different Anti-wrinkle Treatments?
In addition to daily creams and other topical products, an increasing number of men and women are turning to Cosmetic Clinics or Medispas for longer lasting facial rejuvenation procedures. At Face Plus Medispa these procedures include the administration of injectable muscle relaxants and injectable dermal fillers.
We offer two major types of cosmetic injection for wrinkle treatment to improve cosmetic appearance: injectable muscle relaxants and injectable dermal fillers. These treatments can be used together or in isolation. The best treatment for you will depend on a few factors: the area being treated and the severity of the wrinkle, both of which vary between individuals.
Injectable muscle relaxants work by relaxing the wrinkle-causing muscles that cause people to frown or squint, creating an improved and 'softer' appearance. Once the muscle is relaxed, you cannot contract it and continue to make undesirable facial expressions. Thus, the cosmetic injections gradually smooth wrinkles and prevent wrinkles from forming again.
These are administered by injection, which is relatively painless. Effects begin within days and last several months. Relaxing the underlying muscles slowly smooth the overlying skin, softening wrinkles and returning a youthful appearance. Due to Australian law we cannot name these products by brand. Please call 1300 939 095 to arrange a consultation to discuss your anti-aging concerns and find out how anti-wrinkle treatments can help you.
Following a maintenance treatment, you can prevent further wrinkles from developing and reverse existing lines, preventing aging and maintaining a youthful appearance. Many patients are now seeking treatment as early as their twenties or thirties to avoid developing permanent, deep lines. These preventative measures are often referred to as the "Liquid Face Lift". However, it is never too late to start receiving anti-aging treatment, and bear in mind it is just as successful in males as it is in females.
The anti-aging procedure is fast and achieved with minimal interference to our patient's busy schedule. Ice is placed over the area to be treated for 10 minutes or so, occasionally some numbing cream is also applied if patients are concerned. The nurse then gently injects the agreed upon area using an ultra-fine syringe. After treatment, you can return to work immediately. Occasionally the area may have a small bruise.
The agents that are injected are a natural, purified protein that relaxes wrinkle-causing facial muscles. The active ingredient is botulinum toxin, which is derived from bacteria, in much the same way penicillin is derived from mould. When injected into a muscle it causes weakness or a paralysis of that muscle by acting at the nerve-muscle junction, the protein is present only for a short time but effects last for several months. It is wonderful news that, unlike many other medications, the more this is used the less it's needed. This protein is safe and has been used in different parts of medicine for several decades without producing significant side effects, it also has excellent patient tolerance.
It is recommended patients maintain an erect posture so as not to manipulate the area of injection for at least four hours post injection. We recommend patients avoid alcohol consumption for 24 hours and report any concerns to our clinic. Botulinum toxin has been used safely by doctors for nearly 30 years and is used by millions of people, both men and women, throughout the world every day. You can be assured it's one of the most studied and researched medical treatments with no long-term side effects.
Please note: Treatment of frown lines on the forehead can cause minor temporary droop of an eyebrow in 2% of injections that could last 2-3 weeks. Occasionally, slight swelling or bruising can occur and can potentially stick around for a few days. The full effects will be visible around 3-5 days post treatment and usually lasts three or more months. Patients are always impressed and pleased with the dramatic difference treatments achieve; we aim to deliver a natural, softened and rejuvenated look rather than a frozen, un-natural look. Repeat injections usually last longer and the best time for a top up is before wrinkling starts to reoccur.
Injectable dermal fillers are semi-permanent or permanent injectable treatments used in facial rejuvenation and contouring. Their use began a decade ago with lip augmentation but has become a staple of facial rejuvenation. As we age we unfortunately lose sub-cutaneous fat – the fat that gives us a healthy plumpness in our faces during our twenties. Precise, conservative but effective replacement can provide subtle and beautiful results.
The use of injectable or dermal fillers to rejuvenate the face is often called "The Liquid Face Lift" and is being used today by many men and women as an early alternative to surgical options. In conjunction with preventative measures, injectable or dermal fillers can be a very effective non-surgical treatment option.
At Face Plus Medispa we use injectable fillers for facial areas where there is a loss of elasticity in the skin and soft tissue, a loss of volume and sagging caused by the unavoidable ageing effects of gravity.
Our clinic takes a conservative and natural approach to facial contouring and injectable treatments, we take our time with each client to ensure your result is as natural and fresh as possible. You should only trust your face to an expert who has had extensive training and experience, and one who has an intimate knowledge of facial structure.
We will create a treatment plan that is specially and individually designed to meet your needs after taking into consideration your concerns, personal goals and other medical issues.
Temporary dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid or alternate permanent, longer lasting fillers will be considered. Many of these come with a built in analgesic effect – meaning the injection is virtually pain- free! However, if you feel more comfortable a local anesthetic can be used to numb particular areas if you are sensitive or worried about injections. Our treatments are simple, safe and conducted by professionals and we more often than not find "first-timers" surprised at how easy and non-traumatic it was.
Treatments can be used in conjunction with fillers to relax the facial muscles that contribute to wrinkles and furrows. Precise treatment of fillers creates a more youthful contour and appearance. Subtle lip or cheek contouring can produce amazing results and can beautifully enhance your facial features. Depending on the number of injection sites and the injectables used, you can expect to be in and out within 30 minutes!
Injectable fillers are usually visible instantly, depending on the product used and your individual goals some treatments may take two to three sessions to achieve your target result. Dependent on the product used, a top up session/s may be required. Some of the initial plumping you experience will be due to swelling, which is common when there are multiple injection sites. You may also experience some swelling and bruising in the first few days post treatment.
In non-smokers, bruising is rare. To minimise swelling, patients are advised to continue icing the sites and use arnica cream.
Patients are advised to avoid exercise and alcohol immediately after treatment. Patients should also avoid aspirin, vitamin E, anti-inflammatories, herbal supplements and other medications that promote bruising. If you are considering facial filler treatment please feel free to contact our clinic for pre-treatment tips to reduce the possibility of bruising.
In order to fine tune the results additional follow-up treatments may be necessary. We prefer to give our patients a more natural look when using dermal fillers and then build upon the treatments as the patient adjusts to their new look and provides their feedback and direction.
If you would like to discuss dermal and/or facial injectable fillers further please do not hesitate to contact our patient coordinator through our Online Inquiry Form or call 1300 939 095 to book a consultation today.
Most injectables are temporary and administrated in the hands of trained and experienced professionals. Side effects are rare but can include bruising, redness, pain and swelling.
Sterile technique is essential and antibiotics are often used. Consent before your treatment will define all details. Our staff at Face Plus Medispa spend a lot of time discussing your options, possible risks and complications, benefits and outcomes to ensure you are completely comfortable before receiving any treatments. Due to Australian law we cannot name filler products by brand in advertising however the range of temporary and permanent fillers on the market is ever expanding and better than ever.
Injectable treatments should be taken seriously. Remember, only trust your face to an experienced team.

Title: Princess Tutu
Japanese Title: プリンセスチュチュ
Airdates: August 26, 2002 – May 23, 2003
Tags: Collector, Combat
I had thought that Tonde Buurin was one of the most bizarre magical girl shows out there. But then along came Princess Tutu! Princess Tutu is the story of a story. That is, it is about how old stories or fairytales have become reality in a small, European-like town. A long time ago, a man wrote a story about a brave Prince fighting a Raven. However, both characters eventually left the story and came to the real world. In order to defeat the Raven, the Prince used the power of his sword and shattered his own heart into countless pieces, unleashing a power that trapped the Raven, but left him pretty much a blank, heartless zombie.
Ahiru is not your average girl. In fact, she may not even be a girl at all. The name 'Ahiru' means 'duck' and it looks like Ahiru may have begun her life as a duck. But after seeing a beautiful boy with a sad expression, she wished very hard that she could help him. The Storyteller answered her plea, and Ahiru became a cute, average girl. Like many magical girls, she is honest, clumsy, and pure of heart. Ahiru is a ballet student at a private school. Unfortunately she is not very good at ballet. One of her fellow students is the very popular 'Mytho' who is the same beautiful boy that Ahiru-duck saw. Mytho does have a sad expression, and does not speak much. He lacks a heart.
Mytho is suffering somehow, and Ahiru wants to help him. She realizes that Mytho is the Prince of the old story. How can an average duck-girl possibly help him? The Storyteller steps in then and grants Ahiru the power of Princess Tutu, a character in the old story of the Prince and the Raven. Princess Tutu is a ballerina who helps people through her dance. Now Ahiru has the power to find the pieces of Mytho's heart and return them to him, one by one. However Ahiru faces some opposition in her mission. Always near Mytho is another student, Fakir, who seems very controlling and sinister around Mytho. Just who is Fakir, and why does he hover around Mytho so much? Then there is Rue, a fellow ballerina student, but one of great beauty and talent. It is said that she is Mytho's girlfriend, but their relationship seems odd somehow. What is her role in this story?
Yes, Princess Tutu is about a magical ballerina duck girl. There is a surreal, fairy tale quality about it, and things are not always as they seem. Each episode takes the general theme of a ballet and uses that music in the episode. For example, there are episodes centered around the music of the Nutcracker, Giselle, Romeo & Juliet, Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, the Red Shoes, etc. Ahiru doesn't really have a talking pet because, well, being a duck, I guess she IS the talking pet ^_^ Her Magical Item is a red pendant given to her by the Storyteller that not only helps Ahiru become Princess Tutu, it pretty much keeps her human as well. Ahiru does have a transformation sequence, but it is fairly brief, and does not require her to shout any magical words to trigger it.
All the players in a classic story have been reunited in the real world of this town to play out their roles in the story and find their fates. However for some of them, their destinies are tragic. Ahiru must find some way to help her Prince, yet find a future. Ahh, this is such a great show! ^_^

I seriously can never get enough of these timelapse videos, especially when the music is so epic-sounding like one in this video. Blue Eden, a group of two brothers Patrick Shyu and Henrick Shyu, based primarily in San Francisco and Tokyo, shot this video over 2 weeks in Iceland, March 2014. I really like how the video started out slowly with a few slo-mo clips, but then it picks up the speed about half way in, when we see the majestic Aurora Borealis.
A journey into the shadows of ice caves and lights of the Aurora. The caves are a beautiful blue, awash in glacier-filtered sunlight. And the Northern Lights set the sky on fire – it's quite a moment standing before something so cosmic.
I had originally imagined this would be a cold and horrible trip, but… the desolate landscape was so simple it was perhaps the most beautiful place I'd been to. That's not to say it wasn't cold – especially in the second week, a snowstorm hit and the car got stuck in snow amidst hail and wind. Pushing & hauling were indeed necessary! Drying snow-soaked socks with the hairblower was also fun.
There is a surprise ending. After setting up the tripod, I began to take a photo of ourselves… when suddenly, I "found" something on the ground… 😉 It may not make the ice melt, but almost certainly your heart.
Beautiful post. Thank you so much for your useful article.

The shaman and the Norwegian engineer
The primeval forest is emerald green, and a river curves inward towards an unspoiled oak. Audun Amundsen was a long-haired backpacking tourist when, for the first time in 2004, he met the indigenous people of the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia and was feathered. He lived in the jungle with them for a whole month.
For fourteen years he has returned to photograph and film, what he thought would remain, authentic life. The visuals are spectacular, at times almost mesmerizing.
The expectation of a paradise free of all modernity captured as a documentary became the story of the opposite: Newtopia. With his close long-standing relationship with shaman Aman Paksa, the director finds himself on the inside when the indigenous peoples' traditions are challenged and crackle in the desire for the comforts of today. Related to Amundsen's typical western romanticization of the tough and hard life in the jungle, the film becomes an important reflection on what contradictory gaze we have the others versus ourselves.
Early in the film, the director uses a well-functioning approach where he represents the view that the others shall remain untouched by present opportunities and advancements:
"I am not very enthusiastic about all the plastic and clothes they [the Mentuawa people, editor's note]. . .

Govt offers to vaccinate diplomats and their families posted in India
2 min read . Updated: 25 Jan 2021, 10:32 PM IST Elizabeth Roche
India is also looking at sending vaccines under the Covax arrangement for UN personnel, including peacekeepers and health workers.
The decks have also been cleared for India made vaccines to be made available for use by UN peacekeepers and health workers through COVAX
Indians working in the missions or embassies will not be covered by the offer
India has offered domestically made covid-19 vaccines to diplomats and their families posted in the country, a little more than a week after the government began the vaccination drive and opened up limited exports, two people familiar with the development said on Monday.
The decks have also been cleared for India-made vaccines to be made available for use by United Nations peacekeepers and health workers through Covax, the global initiative to ensure rapid and equitable access to covid-19 vaccines for all countries.
The latter development comes in the wake of India assuming the non-permanent membership of the UN Security Council for a two-year term on 1 January. The moves strengthen India's image as a major supplier of medicines to the world, against the backdrop of the covid-19 pandemic.
New Delhi made the offer of vaccination to foreign diplomats posted in India and their mission staff on Friday, describing it as a gesture of "goodwill" and "solidarity", according to one of the people mentioned above. Indians working in the missions or embassies will not be covered by the offer.
"The government of India, as a gesture of goodwill and solidarity, is considering to offer covid-19 vaccination to eligible foreign diplomats and their family members accredited to all diplomatic missions, including consulates, the UN and its specialized agencies and other international organizations, based in lndia," the letter sent from the Indian foreign ministry said. "The vaccination would be on a voluntary basis and in accordance with the phased plan of the domestic rollout."
There was, however, no specific date for vaccination. Neither was it clear which vaccine would be administered. Indian drug regulators have given the go ahead to two vaccines. One is the Serum Institute of India's Covishield, developed by Oxford University and AstraZeneca, while the second is the domestically developed Covaxin manufactured by Bharat Biotech. A clutch of other vaccines are in various stages of testing and development in India.
Most diplomats contacted by Mint welcomed the offer, while some said they were considering the proposal and others said they would seek advice from their capitals.
"The vaccines on offer in India are not cleared by our regulatory authorities," one European diplomat said.

So far, India has sent vaccines as gifts to almost all its neighbouring countries with the exception of Pakistan under its Vaccine Maitri initiative. New Delhi has also sent vaccines as a gift to Mauritius and Seychelles among countries in its extended neighbourhood. It has also started exports to Morocco, Brazil, South Africa and Saudi Arabia.

Let me be clear: By "slaves" I mean, very simply, those who are forced to work, under threat of violence, for no pay beyond subsistence. That is the nice, neat, horrible definition I have used since I began studying the subject in 2001. It was brought home to me more vividly than ever by the tears of that young woman in Bucharest.
