What would be the best state/area to buy land in?
Posted by justaniceguy on 11/27/22 at 1:44 pm
Say you are looking to buy somewhere from 100-500 acres. Where would you look? Pretend you don't have any obligations to be near family.
For starters, I would only consider living in the south or the west. Not a fan of the north or midwest. Wyoming and Montana would be great places as I am from Texas but they get hella cold during the winter. Don't think I could handle it.
Texas is great, my favorite state, but land is expensive due to everyone wanting to live here. Mississippi or Louisiana would offer greener pastures and I think that land is cheaper over there. Mississippi might be the cheapest.
What do y'all think?

I'm biased, but Middle TN is a fantastic place to live.

I would probably do a bit of everything. Run a few head of cattle. Build some ponds to stock with catfish and bass. The occasional deer hunt or what not. Maybe have a nice big gardem.
Ideally I would like to build a house on it, but would also consider just living in a nearby small town.

I have yet to be in a rural area of TN I wouldn't want to live in (but I haven't been through all of it... yet).
TN also has no state income tax and has a fairly low property tax rate (.71%, by comparison the TX rate is 1.8%, CA is .76%, with LA at one of the lowest rates with .55%). It also has one of the lower average home price, at $167,200. LINK

I guess it really depends on what you are looking for....once your kids are out of the house then you have a lot more options as schools are no longer important.
Can you handle humidity? Then you might get more value in the southeast...TN, AL, MS. Having lived out west it's really hard to convince myself to move back to heat and humidity.
Do you want productive land or just space between you and other people? the really cheap land is typically unimproved with little to no public access.

I would think the Delta would be pretty cheap but I guess not because the land is so fertile?
What are some ideal parts of Mississippi? I have looked into it before. The land seems to be some of the cheapest, and it is very beautiful.
North Mississippi, besides Oxford/Lafayette County, is cheap as hell and fairly pretty. You could live like a king in Iuka.

Heat olive oil in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chopped garlic and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add ground turkey and sauté until beginning to brown, breaking up large chunks with spoon, about 8 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes with puree, white wine, parsley, basil and oregano. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer mixture until thickened to sauce consistency, about 30 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Add pasta to sauce and toss to combine.
So, I rated this recipe as "Good"... I did make some changes, but I REALLY want SIMPLE ingredients to speak for themselves, so with this recipe, you are not looking for complex flavors. It is VERY reminiscent of Italian cooking. The focus of this recipe is the pasta and sauce. It cannot get much more Italian than that. With that said, IT NEEDS modifications. I did the following. In sum, there are THREE ingredients that SAVED this dish from being bland: lots of garlic, plenty of kosher salt and a generous sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes at the table. (If it did not have these three things, I would not be making it again.) In addition to those items, I used 6 garlic cloves instead of 4. Double the herbs and added 1 teaspoon of thyme. I also added 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. At the end, I threw 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the top and served it in the saute pan at the table.. For its simplicity and ease, I WILL be making this again. It is not exceptional, but it is good and my family (including my 3 year old) did enjoy it.
Needs more stuff. I used bulk spicy turkey sausage, can of black olives (sliced in half), some mushrooms (if you like them), RED wine, red pepper and CRUSH some of the garlic into the sauce. I did 2 lbs of sausage and used very little pasta. It was like a mild chunky chile - everyone loved it!
Good, simple weeknight recipe. I used extra ground turkey and grated lots of parmesan on top. It could use some spicy sausage or veggies to give it more pizzaz.
I agree with the other cooks, it is a good base recipe that needs a little extra kick. I added some onion, bell pepper and mushrooms and a splash of cream and a pinch of cayenne. Also turned it into a casserole by baking in the oven with lots of mozza cheese. Very nice!!
Tried this recipe because it was rated kid friendly - and indeed it was!!! After reading the previous reviews, I also added onions and mushrooms, and instead of crushed tomatoes I added diced tomatoes (canned) with sun-dried tomatoes, and also a little bit of chicken broth (instead of white wine). Didn't add salt, with the broth didn't need to. My 21-month old grandson, usually a picky eater, loved it and even had seconds!! Will definitely make this again.
This is a good dish, not great, but really easy. It needs a tremendous amount of salt, and I use a lot of garlic. It's a great weekday dinner. My kids like it.
I've made this many times but agree with the others -- it is bland as written. I usually add salt & pepper and some crushed red pepper. I shared the recipe with a cousin, whose husband is a heart patient, and they love it because they can't salt anything.
I made this last night for dinner on a whim. I wanted to make traditional meat sauce, but my store did not have ground pork and only ground chuck. I bought ground turkey & figured I'd be creative. I followed the recipe plus I added a large white onion, a container of baby portobello mushrooms, a can of whole stewed tomatoes and several shakes of tabasco. It seemed watery towards the end, so I added a can a tomato paste. My husband loved it & could not believe it was ground turkey. I had enough sauce to freeze two small freezer bags full of sauce, too.
I took the advice of the others and added some veggies (small diced onions, celery, and carrots). I also added some extra garlic and sugar (secret Italian sauce ingredient). I made it in a large chicken fryer/skillet which made it easier to cook and then I sprinkled some Parmesan and cheddar cheese on top at the end and it ended up like a skillet pasta casserole. Personally, I thought it was a little boring and almost tasted like Hamburger Helper or something. My family on the other hand loved it. Its one of my dad's new favorite foods and wants me to make it for his birthday. I guess it depends on what you like. I think the recipe title is a little misleading. Its not like a spaghetti sauce recipe, it is definetly more like a casserole. I really think it would do well baked in the oven with lots of cheese on top.
"As is" this recipe is very bland. I added crushed red pepper and garlic salt to spice it up a bit. I used dried parsley and oregano and I am sure fresh spices would make a world of difference. Next time, I would add an onion as well. This recipe serves as a good starting point and you can get creative from there!
Excellent dish, low in fat and very tasty! I added some fresh zuchini and tomatoes from the garden also some onion. Even my 2 year old loved it!
4+ for ease, although next time I make it, I'll add more vegies (ie mushrooms, a little onion) and I'll cook the sauce longer than the prescribed 30 minutes. I like my sauces to absorb the herbs and the 30 minutes just wasn't enough.

Jami Cassady reads from the Joan Anderson letter
70 years on…
Having met Neal Cassady in December 1946 in NYC, Jack Kerouac says so long to Neal on March 4, 1947, and Neal returns in a tear to Denver. By March 7, Neal has written a letter to Jack from Denver, the "Great Sex Letter," astonishing and thrilling Jack with its energy & drive… It is also in March 1947, in Denver, that Neal meets Carolyn Robinson, who would be the enduring love of his life, and the linchpin in the relationship between Neal and Jack, and in a very real sense the anchor between Neal's desire for constant movement and for deep connection and stability. It is Carolyn who becomes the motive for Neal's move to San Francisco where she has gone. They take up residence on Russian Hill, where Jack joins them, and then move down to San Jose, his base from that point on, raising three children, though his time behind the wheel of Ken Kesey's bus takes him away, ever further, to his death at age 42 on a train track in Mexico.
But back to December 1950… when Jack receives from Neal the 40,000 word "Joan Anderson letter," the letter that Jack credits for giving him the approach he uses to rewrite On the Road, making it one of the great novels of the 20th century.
This March, on the 19th — Jack's christening day, as it happens — we'll welcome Neal's daughter Jami to read from the Joan Anderson letter and from Off the Road, the autobiographical book by Carolyn Cassady, Jami's mother, that tells so much about the guys that define the "Beat Generation" for all time.

Disclaimer: The following is not meant to be medical advice and is only my personal experience and opinion. Always consult with a doctor for your own health needs.
As I write this, I am sitting in a hospital parking lot, outside of where my tiny, days-old niece is in the NICU fighting against a virus that has left her unable to eat or regulate her body temperature, and where she is separated from her parents, who can't even hold her. And the culprit for what has felt like a nightmare for her family?
The same virus as the common cold.
We so often think of the cold as "just" a cold, a small and minor inconvenience in our busy days, but for immunocompromised people, such as babies, the elderly, and individuals with medical conditions, even the cold virus can be very, very serious. As parents, it can be so scary and overwhelming to think about all of the hundreds of ways our children are exposed to harmful bacteria and viruses every single day, from even just going to school or the grocery store, but it is important to be aware and do our best to not only protect ourselves but try to prevent the spread of viruses like the cold for the sake of little babies like my niece.
In addition to good hand-washing practices, keeping a clean home, and regularly cleaning and changing pillowcases, bedspreads, blankets, and hats and gloves, here are six ways I'm doing my best to protect my family this cold and flu season.
I know a great many people who swear by the ol' grape juice trick, which goes something like this: Drink a crap ton of grape juice and you won't get the stomach bug. The thought is that the specific acidity of the grape juice somehow prevents the viruses that lead to stomach bugs from living. And while there has been a lot of scoffing about this particular old wives' tale, I did find one study that showed that grape seed extract did have some anti-viral properties, so it may be a worth a shot. I mean, it can't hurt and kids like juice, right?
Listen, I don't know how I ever survived stomach bugs without peppermint oil. Seriously. I'm not an essential oils fanatic but any means, but let me tell you what: nothing helps a stomach bug more than slathering yourself with some peppermint oil right across the abdomen. You know that awful feeling of stomach pain that comes with a stomach bug, when you're just rolling and you wish you had never eaten anything and you want to puke but you don't want to puke and nothing helps? That's when peppermint oil helps.
It's a lifesaver, especially for kids, because most times, there's literally nothing you can do to help a stomach bug but let it run its course. I just bought peppermint oil from my local health store and have used it without any problems, but it's always recommended to dilute it, especially when using with kids, so check with a doctor or certified naturopath doctor before administering to yourself or kids.
Although we like to think that we're all getting plenty of sunshine and Vitamin D from our healthy diets (eye roll), many adults are still deficient in Vitamin D. In fact, it's estimated that, worldwide, 50% of the population is deficient in Vitamin D. That's a huge number and all that deficiency adds up, because Vitamin D plays a large role in our immune system's function. I don't trust that my screen-loving kids are getting enough Vitamin D, so I definitely stocked up on some delicious gummy Vitamin D vitamins and they are doing the trick for my kids this winter.
I am 100% a believer in probiotics and I think the field of microbiome science is only going to continue to grow; instead of just fighting illness by killing off the bad stuff, I think more doctors and experts are going to try to instead to pump our bodies full of the good bacteria. There are a lot of different kinds of probiotics on the market and some are definitely not worth the money, so do your research before you buy, but overall, you can't go wrong with a good basic probiotic; in one study, it was even protective against some viruses.
This one is simple: Buy toothbrushes whenever you're at the store, subscribe on Amazon, or just ask your mother-in-law to buy them for Christmas gifts. However you do it, replace your family's toothbrushes as often as you can.
This topic is not easy, I know this. I am a nurse and a mother of four and I personally know people who have had adverse reactions to vaccines, so I am fully aware that there isn't always an easy answer to the question of vaccination. But I do believe that in some situations, vaccines are protective and this year, we made the decision to fully vaccinate our family. I took all four of my kids to a free clinic at a local Walgreens, and we were in-and-out in 10 minutes, reward suckers in hands. I've heard too many horror stories and we know too many immune-compromised people to feel like it wasn't the right move to make.
What will you do to help your family this cold and flu season?

Communications and Personality Type - Extravert & Introvert
Monday, January 22nd, 2018
Communication is central to our life – we communicate with others every day, throughout the day. Understanding, appreciating, and accommodating personality differences in communication style can bring major success to our effectiveness as a friend, spouse, employee, supervisor, trainer, leader, and team member.
People have different preferences in the way they take in and evaluate information and their orientation to the world around them. As we develop our awareness, understanding, and appreciation of communication differences, we will reap the benefit in our relationship with others.

Judging Listening Strengths
Saturday, November 25th, 2017
I just have to make good listening my goal.
When I asked the question, "What are your strengths as a listener?" No one mentioned anything related to Judging. It seems that Js don't get much help from their Judging when it comes to listening, and that Judging tendencies are just something they have to manage.
That made me think about my own Judging function. Is it really a deficit when it comes to being a good listener? It's such an asset in so many other ways. It helps me keep my life organized and take care of others. It helps me set goals and work steadily toward them, making it possible to do just about anything I want to do, like go on a trip to Europe with my family, finish writing a book or even learn how to use the espresso machine I got for Christmas.
Wait! If my J allows me to be good at reaching goals, maybe that's what can help me be a better listener. I just have to make good listening my goal. Or, I can change the goals I used to have into good listening goals. Instead of the goal to Give my opinion why not have the goal, See it from their point of view? Instead of the goal to Solve their problem why not have the goal, Let them know you understand their problem?
Js like to make "to-do" lists, so why don't I make a "to-do" list about listening, of all the techniques that have come up in these issues. Then, after I've followed all the points on the list, I can have the satisfaction of checking off one more conversation where I've accomplished my goal of being a good listener. I can feel proud of one more time where I really opened myself up to another person, and let them know that they are not alone in this life. Someday I may even meet my ultimate goal, which is to do those things on my list so naturally that I'm not even thinking about them.
So we Js do have a strength when it comes to listening. If we put Be a good listener on our "to-do" list, if we make it our goal, well then, we'll probably pull it off.

Perceiving Listening Strengths
I really want to learn more about what people have to say.
The PEOPLE Process Type Wheel
The attitudes we're looking for in a listener: open-mindedness, curiosity and tolerance, seem to come easily to many Ps. You can see it in their faces. They have that – I'm interested look – in their eyes, and it's fun to talk to someone who looks like that.
I can think of many times where I've watched people just open up to a P, and suddenly start talking happily about their interests.
"I like to listen because I'm collecting data," says John, ENTP. "Once, a friend told me a long story, and after he finished I said: "That's interesting." "He said: "When most people say that, it's dismissive, but when you say it, you're actually finding it interesting."
"My strength as a listener is that I really want to know more about what people have to say," says Anna, ISFP. "I know it's important to them, but I also like to learn from other people. When I was young, it was a good way for me to be, because I had to go to parties with a whole bunch of my husband's business associates, who would all be talking about science. The easiest way for me to mingle would be to ask questions. I realized that wow, this is exciting. I could talk to people that I didn't know, and there were all these other topics in the world that I didn't really know about. Also, when I took the time to listen to other people, I got a lot of information that I could really use in my life."
Because Ps are so good at data collection, they can gently push the speakers to consider new and sometimes surprising information.
"I can pick out what was not said, what was underrepresented," says Caroline, INFP. "That's not easy to do, because a lot of time in discussions, everyone starts following along with evidence in one direction and they totally miss that there might be an entirely different viewpoint."
Instead of opinions or advice, which send the message that the listener was really listening to themselves, most Ps tend to naturally respond with questions, which sends the message that they are really listening and trying to understand. Another way of sending the message that we're listening is to repeat back what the speaker said, in our own words, to make sure we are interpreting it correctly. One P even told us that this practice of active listening, came naturally to him, and was his habit before he had ever heard it described.
"When I first heard about active listening, I thought, "So that's what you call it,?" says Jerry, INTP. "I did that naturally. People always seem to find it easy to talk to me, because I put what they said into my own words. For example, my wife works in a very stressful job as a nurse in an infant intensive care unit. If I ask her how her day was, and she says, It was awful, I don't just grunt. I really do try to understand as she describes the problems she had with a parent today. When she's finished, I might say, I know it frustrates you when you try to tell a parent that what they want isn't good for their baby. It turns out not to be a very long conversation, because when people feel understood, the need to tell their story over and over is not so great."
"I worked as a marriage counselor, he continues, and some part of every couple's problem was the failure to communicate. I taught them to put into their own words what they thought the other was saying. I told them not to just parrot their words, or you'll get a response like, Don't do that listening stuff on me. But if it's in your own words, it sounds natural, and they'll be able to tell you if you're right or wrong."

Thinking Listening Strengths
I can look at it clearly, without emotion.
What I like about talking to Thinking types is that I know they can listen to me describe a painful occurrence without feeling the pain themselves.
I don't want to cause other people pain, and sometimes, when I'm confiding to the Fs who are close to me, I realize it's affecting them, and I end up trying to comfort them and telling them it's not so bad. With a T, I know I can describe exactly how bad I feel, because they won't necessarily feel it with me.
"I don't have empathy; I can't feel what they're feeling, but I can step back a bit and hear the logic of what they're trying to get across," says John, ENTP, "I can understand their argument."
Also, when emotions are strong, Ts can remain untouched by them and continue thinking clearly. I wish I had a Ts ability not to feel the pain or confusion of others, especially when it's someone close to me, because then I wouldn't be so anxious to make it go away.
"My husband, an INTJ, is able to remain calm when I'm upset, which is not my usual experience," says Marthanne, ENFJ. "Usually, when I get upset, everyone around me gets twice as upset, which is quite annoying. I remember the first Thanksgiving we spent together when we were dating. I was cooking the turkey, and I had not allowed the right amount of time and I was supposed to take it from my house to his house. I was all upset, but he didn't get upset, or show impatience or condemnation for my being upset. He just listened through the feeling somehow to what the problem and the solution were."
"I can look at it clearly, without emotion," says Pam, INTJ. "If you're looking for someone to help you solve a problem, I'm a good one to talk to."
Also, Ts are more able to keep in mind that even though someone is making a very good case that they have been wronged, there is probably another side to the story.
"I don't let emotions get in the way and I try to stay fair," says Jamie, ISTJ. I've learned the hard way that there are two sides to everything, so even though their emotions are legitimate, I should not take sides based on hearing one person's side of it. I can listen and commiserate and say, Wow, that's really rough on you," instead of "That's totally unfair!"
Fs might try to be good listeners simply because people like good listeners. But Ts usually need a different rationale. They may decide to become good listeners because it makes them more effective in their work. Good listening, for example, is important in the work of parenting.
"When I was raising children, I realized how important it was to be a good listener," says Dee, ENTP. "I raised a 6-year old and 12-year-old from my husband's first marriage, and the first year we lived together, I was amazed at how much they demanded my attention. They really needed to talk, especially because their mom had been dying for years. Kids have a way of focusing your attention. They'll tell you, "Mom, you're not listening."
Good listening is also important in the workplace, and Ts often get their initial insights about the importance of listening from workplace training or experience.
"I worked on a project with two other people where we had to interview managers," says John, ENTP. "We would get together after we'd interviewed a manager to discuss what we'd heard, but we'd spend the whole time arguing about what they had really said. Finally, I started to take notes and write them up afterwards. We were shocked to see that we do a lot of interpreting and extrapolating. For example, a guy would say, "We manage on performance," and we thought he must mean he's measuring the outcome of the training programs. Then we'd find out he wasn't measuring the outcomes. "Didn't he say that?" someone would ask, but when we consulted the notes, we realized that he never said he was measuring performance. After that insight, we became much more effective interviewers. We could ask great follow-up questions because now we were listening to what people actually said."
"Once we had a series of staff trainings on listening," says Jamie, ISTJ. "We'd do an exercise where you listen, and then repeat it back to make sure you understood what they intended. My first reaction was: "That's positively silly; I know what they said. But when we did the exercise it was like, 'Oh my goodness, I didn't really hear what they were saying at all.' Just knowing that so much miscommunication is possible opened my mind to the thought that listening isn't just hearing, there's more to it."
"The other part of that training was that we should not just listen to words, but also to the feeling behind it. For example, if they said, 'You never do your share of the laundry,' I would think we were talking about laundry, but what the person is really saying is 'I feel used.' "We're not honest partners." "I'm just here to do chores for you." It is about being valued in the relationship, and that's what really needs to be addressed."

"I remember all the facts and details."
If the gift of Intuitive listeners is that they can put wings on what you say, the gift of Sensing listeners is that they can put arms and legs on what you say.
I can't tell you how many times my conversations with my Sensing friends have resulted in my suddenly being able to move on a problem that had me stuck in place. After I talk to them, I know the product to buy, the service to call, the information to download, or the location to drive to.
Another gift of Sensing types is that they can often remember the facts and details that people tell them. It means a lot to see a person six months after you've talked, and hear them ask, "How did that problem with your daughter come out?"
"My strengths are that I'm good at keeping track of people and what they're doing. It makes them feel special," says Dan, ESTP. "For example, my friend told me a few months ago that he's interested in a graduate program, and I asked him about that recently, and I think he liked that."
"My strength as a listener is that I remember all the facts and details," says Patty, ESTJ. "A client might call me back after five years and say, "Hi, I'm sure you don't remember me, but you tested my daughter." I say, "Of course I remember you." Your daughter wore a purple sweater that day and her birthday is April 11. "I don't do it on purpose. It's just that all that stuff goes in there and gets filed."
Sensing types are also often alert to the sensory information about the speaker, so if their words don't match their body language, Ss will probably pick up on it.
"My strength as a listener is that I notice all the sensory stuff besides their listening: their tone of voice, the look on their face, the agitation in their bodies," says Sharon, ISTP. "I may not even hear the words. Sometimes I'll say to a person, "You said this, but everything about you says something else." "I might find out later that I was right that they were stressed out, even if it was about something other than what they were talking about. That's why I don't like e-mails, because you can't see or hear all the other stuff in an email."
Another strength of some Sensing listeners, and one that is worth imitating, is their ability to 'see' in their minds what the person is describing.
"When people are talking to me, it's like I'm running a movie in my mind's eye," says Patty, ESTJ. "I'm visualizing it, and that makes it more fun to listen, and helps me really be with the person."

I'm able to synthesize or articulate the thoughts of others.
Intuitive listeners are often good at taking the stories they hear and connecting them with a theory or an idea. For example, after the Virginia Tech shootings, an acquaintance said that she was dismayed that there was no Christian prayer said at the university's memorial service.
That bothered me, because I was thinking of all the non-Christian students that would have felt excluded during a prayer, at a time when they needed to join together in their common grief. I repeated her comment to an ENFP friend, and his reply was: "Our founding fathers understood the tyranny of the majority over the minority, but people today forget that! You can't get better validation than be told that you think like our founding fathers, and I'm usually grateful when Intuitive listeners take my specific experience and connect it to the general experience."
Another strength of Intuitive listeners is that they're able to sort through a great deal of information and find the essential idea.
"My strengths as a listener are being able to synthesize or articulate the thoughts of others, particularly in group discussions, when discussion is going all over the place," says Carolyn, INFP. "I can pull together what I have heard."
"If a client is really upset, I'll say, "Start anyplace, and we'll track it together," says Catherine, ENTJ. "After they get all the pieces out, no matter how chaotic their story, I can feel myself consulting my Intuition, asking myself if I have the full picture."
Intuitive listeners are also good at listening for possibilities, when something the speaker said might mean more than they are giving it credit for.
"My strengths are that I'll hear something in passing, an extraneous comment, a little nugget that has been thrown out," says Dee, ENTP, "and I'll ask them to say some more about it." I'll help them return to that comment and unpack it."
The best thing about Intuitive listeners, however, is that they can sometimes listen for possibilities in the speaker, and be able to tell them that they are worth more than they give themselves credit for.
"Beyond just the data gathering, I try to help people identify their strengths, to reframe things when they're feeling very negative about themselves," says Craig, ENFP. "I remember when I was a kid, walking home from lunch with this girl in my class. She was burdened because the other kids were making fun of her. I said something about her talents, and after that, the poison was gone for her. When I'm working with clients as well, I try to help people see themselves so that they like what they see."

The best listeners give you their time.
The best listeners send the message that you can take as long as you want to get your thoughts out. They are listening, and will continue to listen until you are finished.
"My girlfriend, Paula, an INFP, is the best listener I know," says Pam, INTJ. "She lets me go through the whole shebang without interrupting!"
"The best listener I know is an INFJ who became my mentor," says, Dee, ENTP. "When she listens, she doesn't intervene a lot while you are telling your story. She lets you get your narrative well said."
"My INFP daughter is the best listener I know," says Catherine, ENTJ. "She waits to hear the whole story, even though it's often a complicated story with lots of layers."
"My INFJ mother is one of the best listeners in my life," says Dan, ESTP. "She takes the time to actually hear what I'm saying. I solve problems best by talking about them, and I usually have to talk a lot before I get to a final thought. It helps me when people take the time to really listen to everything that I have to say."
"My father was an INFP and he was an excellent listener," says Anna, ISFP. It's important that someone give me a chance to speak, and he would sit patiently and let me get through the whole idea. With some people, when I stop to take a breath, they take off on their own story."
The worst listeners don't give you their time.
The worst listeners send the message that if you can't get your thoughts out quickly, you're not going to get them out. They interrupt or cut you off. You can sense their impatience and lack of interest.
"One member of an executive team, an ENTP, is one of the poorest listeners I know," says Craig, ENFP. He'll just voice right over you, and doesn't even wait for you to breathe. I'm trying to make a point and he's already not paying any attention to it."
"The worst listener in my life is my ESTJ friend," says Chip, ESFP. "She wants closure so quickly that she'll finish my sentence for me. I'll go "Wait a minute, that isn't what I was saying!"
"The worst listener in my life is my ENFJ colleague," says John, ENTP. "She gets impatient with how long it takes me to finish my thoughts, and she just cuts me off and takes the conversation over."
The best listeners give you their attention.
The best listeners send the message that nothing else in the room, or in their life, is as interesting to them as what you are saying. They look you in the eyes when you're talking; they appear alert, attentive and focused.
"One of the best listeners in my life is my friend, an ENFJ," says Carolyn, INFP. "When she listens, she pays attention to you. She's not distracted or marking time."
"The best listener in my life is my INTJ husband, and he can be remarkably focused," says Marthanne, ENFJ. "When I'm telling him something that is very important to me, he's right there; he's not trying to do something else."
"A friend of mine growing up was an ISTP," says Craig, ENFP. "He had a laser-like ability to listen. "When I was talking, he was there. His mind wasn't anywhere else. He didn't say affirming words, but his attention would affirm me."
Two people who worked with Mary McCaulley, the co-founder of the Center for Applications of Psychological Type, said that she was the best listener they had ever known. McCaulley, an INFP, passed away in 2003.
"When you talked to her, you felt like you were the only person on earth," says Jamie, ISTJ. "She wasn't thinking about the next thing she had to do; her mind wasn't elsewhere."
"No matter who she was listening to, it could be a scientist who studied mangroves in the Florida Everglades, she looked like that was the most important topic in the world at the time," says Anna, ISFP. "When she listened, she was captivated. She couldn't wait to hear the next sentence from you and was truly interested in what you were saying. With as much wisdom and knowledge as she had, she always looked like she might be learning something from you."
The worst listeners don't give you their attention.
While you are talking, the worst listeners send the message that they're not really interested, and it's a struggle for them to pay attention. You can hear that they'd much rather talk than listen.
"One of the worst listeners I know is an old girlfriend, an INFJ," says Paul, ESFJ. "Whenever I would tell her something about what I was doing, I'd feel like it was really boring to her, and I'd end up not liking what I was talking about. Once she was really excited about her music, so I said, "Have you heard of this band?" She said, "No," and went on talking about the music she liked. I was completely shot down."
"One of the worst listeners in my life is my friend, Justy, and I think he's an INTP," says Dan, ESTP. "When I get done talking, he doesn't say anything, or he'll say, "Yeah, OK, that's interesting." It's a flat response as opposed to a two-way conversation. I get the impression that he would rather talk about something else."
"Some of the people in our organization seem to have a hard time hearing me in meetings," says Jamie, ISTJ. "Their new ideas are flying so fast that the points I'm trying to make come out sounding irrelevant or they're just not computed. I don't have a lot of grand ideas, but I do have input that might definitely matter if it could be heard."
"I might tell my friend that I just got back from Las Vegas, and right away, she'll tell me that when she went, she lost all her money and had a really horrible time,"says Patty, ESTJ. "She doesn't seem interested at all in hearing about my trip."
"One of the worst listeners in my life is my ENFP friend," says Janet, INFJ. "She just talks non-stop, and then, when she realizes that she's talked too much, she asks me some questions about myself. But I can hear that it's an effort for her, and she's not really interested in what I say."
"The worst listener in my life is my Extraverted friend," says Susan, ISFJ. "She calls up and starts out by asking me how things are going in my life, but she quickly gets diverted to all her issues, and never asks me anything else about me. She might talk for a half hour, but then, when I start to talk, she'll suddenly have to get off the phone."

Mistakes We Make When Teaching Type
This article is not just for professional trainers of type.
Sure, there are lots of complaints that professionals are making mistakes, that they're making statements about the theory that aren't true, making statements about the types that put people on the defensive, not telling people enough to answer their questions or excite them about the power of the theory, or telling them so much they get lost in all the lingo and complications of it. But this article is not just for professional trainers of type. It's for everyone who has more than a passing interest in type, and that includes you and me. Why? Because all learners of type naturally become teachers of type.
You will want to know the types of the people in your life. They are the ones who will make the words come alive for you. I had read that SJs were organized, practical, and persistent. But those were just words to me until an SJ came to our business and improvements that had been talked about for years finally began to happen because he kept gently pushing and pushing them to completion.
I had read that NTs were global and critical, but those were just words to me until I had an NT edit my writing. He suggested many, many changes, but rather than hating it, I was delighted. Listening to him opened up my viewpoint miles wider, amd made my ideas much clearer.
I had read that SPs were physical and playful, but those were just words to me until my SP friend and I had spent many afternoons with our children, wandering along rivers and through woods, and I'd come home filled with light and air and the joy of having a body and living in the natural world.
I had read that NFs see the best in people and want to bring that out, but those were just words to me until one afternoon when I was confiding to an NF friend that I was worried about my son's recent behavior. Somehow, by her questions and reminding me of things, the afternoon ended with me excited again about the great potential lying in that little boy.
The gifts of SJs, NTs, SPs, and NFs are no longer just words for me, they are sights and sounds and feelings. I have real examples of them in my life.
A second reason to know the types of the people in your life is so you can solve some of the problems you might be having with them. For example, I used to listen to my ISFJ sister complain about her life, and naturally, because I'm Intuitive, I'd suggest all kinds of ways that she could make a new life for herself. But my suggestions involved radical changes in her situation, things she had no stomach for, so she always ended up having to come up with a million reasons why she couldn't follow my advice. But ever since I've known her type, I've stopped doing that. Now I listen to her problems, and praise her for her loyalty and ability to endure difficult situations. Then she herself is able to think of small changes she could make to improve things.
I never would have had the opportunity to understand type in its living context, or to have it make such improvements in my relationships if I hadn't taken the time and trouble to find out what type my family, friends, and colleagues were. I could not persuade all of them to go out and take workshops given by professionals, and with the majority of them, I could not guess their type without their input. If I wanted to know their types, I had to go through all the steps of training them in it myself, and doing it in an informal setting.
But I taught the people in my world about type without any preparation, guidelines, or instruction on how to teach type. I had learned a lot about type, but nothing about how to teach it. And I think I made a lot of mistakes. I wish I had learned some basic guidelines for giving introductions to type, so I could have avoided some of the errors in the trial and error period.
Then recently, I heard a speech by Jean Kummerow, an ESTJ psychologist, management consultant, MBTI trainer, and co-author of the book Lifetypes (1989 Warner). In that speech I felt I had found the basics. It seems to me that if you follow Kummerow's guidelines, you'll give people the maximum opportunity to find themselves in their type at their first introduction to it, get excited about the information, and put it to good use in their lives.
A Checklist For Introducing Type
Let people do a Self-assessment before getting their results from the MBTI.
Describe the preferences in an accurate, positive and unbiased way, and remember to use qualifiers like most and many.
Give examples from the literature, your own life, and the world of the trainee.
Don't read too much into MBTI scores.
Make your goal simple: to teach the person the meaning of the eight preferences, and help them choose their type.
Provide follow-up reinforcement somehow, and give adequate handouts.

Conflict & Type
Kenneth Thomas and Ralph Kilmann developed one approach to understanding conflict-handling styles
that has been used to research the style most used by each of the types.
Using a model developed earlier by Robert Blake and Jane Moutan (1964) for categorizing management styles, Thomas & Kilmann identified two dimensions of behavior involved in managing conflict with another party: concern for one's own interests and concern for the other person's interests. They labeled these Assertiveness and Cooperativeness, respectively. Depending on the degree to which a person proportions his or her energy into each of these dimensions, one of the styles will be engaged.
The 16 personality types respond to conflict according to their preferences. According to the Thomas-Kilmann Model, none of the styles are inherently good or bad. Each is appropriate for some situations and each is also inappropriate or less effective for other situations. The model describes five different approaches to conflict according to how people think about the importance of a task versus the importance of their relationship with the people they are working with – Competing, Collaborating, Compromising, Avoiding, Accommodating. The main point of the model is to encourage people to be purposeful in how they confront and collaborate with others, rather than relying on their natural – and often inappropriate tendencies.
In the Competing category, behavior is based on a high attempt to satisfy one's own interests and a low attempt to satisfy the other party's interests. A person chooses to use power to win with his or her position. This style is appropriate in situations requiring an emergency decision, where there is no other option and someone must be willing to take the tough stand, or where self-protection is essential. The downside of this style is that it intimidates others to the point where problems may go underground and develop into actions that escalate the conflict. The personality types we find in this category are the ENTJ and ESTJ males.
In the Accommodating category, behavior is based on giving up one's own interests in order to satisfy the other party's interests. A choice is made to yield. This style is appropriate when the issue is not of great importance to you and harmony is, or when the other party has all the power. The downside is that if used excessively, neither you nor others have an opportunity to understand your real strength. We find the ENFP and ESFP personality types in this section.
In the Avoiding category, behavior in which there is no attempt to satisfy either one's own or the other party's interests is found. A choice is made to remain apart from interactive engagement on the issue. This style is appropriate when the issue is of no importance to you or when used as a strategy to buy time for thinking or cooling down, or if the other person has unyielding power over you. The downside is that issues may persist and remain unresolved. The types we find in this category are the INTJ, ISTJ, ISFJ, and INFJ.
In the Compromising category, behavior in which each party sacrifices some of this or her own interests in order to satisfy some of the interests of the other is found. Each person negotiates to win some personal interests in exchange for yielding others. This style is useful when the issue is of some importance but there is not time for a full-fledged collaborative process. It is also a fallback process when collaboration is not going to produce a fully win/win solution. This downside is that there may be missed opportunity for a more creative solution that would increase resources, productivity and satisfaction. The types we find in this category are the ENTJ and ESTJ females, and the ISTP, INTP, ESTP, ENTP of both genders.
And, finally, in the Collaborating category, behavior that seeks a way to satisfy fully both parties' interests – a win/win solution is found. Issues are examined that are important to both people and commitment is made to exploration of alternative resolutions that address all concerns. The downside is that the process may involve more time than is available. The types found in this group include the ESFJ and ENFJ.

The Surprising Results Of Servant Leadership
Sunday, July 2nd, 2017
Guest Post by: Lee Ellis – As originally seen at: www.linked2leadership.com
The PEOPLE Process Training Manual & Participant Packa
As a POW in Vietnam, I was typically the junior ranking and youngest person in my cell block.
This meant that I was always a follower and never a formal leader. I used to think that this meant that I didn't have influence.
But in retrospect, I see that I did have influence. And one way it came was through being a joyful doer.
Gettin' Busy
The truth is that I felt better when I was involved in the action so I stepped forward to do whatever needed to be done – clean the dirty latrine, sweep the floor, or deliver a very important message under dangerous circumstances. The lesson I learned was that serving and doing all the little things that others might avoid brings respect and ultimately influence.
And, this type of servant leadership made an impact after I returned to continue my full-time military career.
Even though I was behind my peers after being away, this leadership tactic was a primary factor in making up lost time and being promoted to a senior officer.
'The lesson I learned was that serving and doing all the little things that others might avoid brings respect and ultimately influence.'
Young and Hungry to Serve
I had not thought about this lately until last week while interacting with a group of college students (Air Force ROTC cadets) in San Antonio at the Air Education and Training Command's 2012 Symposium. The Air Force Association (AFA), cohost for this event, had invited a number of Air Force ROTC Cadets – all college students to assist with security and logistics at the Exposition in the convention center.
Since I was operating out of the AFA booth, my host volunteered these impressive young folks to help in any way I needed.
They were all bright and impressive young folks and it was soon obvious why they were chosen to attend this high-level event as guests of AFA and the Air Force! The senior-ranking cadet took charge and managed the most important job of door security, insuring a regular rotation of sentries from 6:30 AM until 7:00 PM. Other cadets helped me with the book signing by carting in books, stuffing bookmarks, collecting money, and scanning credit cards.
Watching them and listening to them carefully for a day and a half, I realized that even in this elite group, some stood out above their peers due to their willingness to get involved and commit totally to the task at hand.
All the students were sharp and helpful, but the ones that I'll remember best are those who stepped forward first and then remained eagerly engaged until the job was done.
They won my heart and gained my highest respect – and that is powerful influence.
I appreciate the opportunity to be reminded of this lesson – that joyfully serving others is a powerful way to gain influence – even when you are young and have no position or formal power. It's also a reminder that we are never too old or too important to learn lessons about influence. After all, influence is what leadership is all about.
Regardless of your age or level of influence, how does this story impact your day-to-day work? With pure motives, what acts of service can you do today that will make far-reaching impact in the future? The only way to find out is to just do it! And if you have a servant leadership story, share it in the comments section below. I would love to hear your story!

The first Zonta Club in Australia was established in 1929 in Sydney and included Australian poet, Dorothea Mackellar, among its members.
While the Club disbanded in 1935, a Canadian Zontian, Dorothy Thompson, reintroduced Zonta International in Australia and New Zealand in 1965 with the organisation of 12 Clubs, one in each Australian capital city and five in New Zealand. These Clubs became District 16 of Zonta International.
By 1990, the number of clubs in District 16 had grown to the extent that, at the Zonta Zonta International Convention in Dallas in 1990, District 16 was divided into 3 separate Districts: District 16 (New Zealand), District 23 (Victoria, Tasmania, Western Australia, South Australia, and the Northern Territory), and District 24 (Queensland, New South Wales, and the Australian Capital Territory).
Further growth in Clubs and membership led to a decision at the 2008 Zonta International Convention in Rotterdam to divide District 24 into two Districts: District 22 (Queensland and the Northern Rivers of New South Wales) and District 24 (the remainder of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.
After debate at the 2015 District Conference District 22 on 13 June 2016 was registered as a Public Company Limited by Guarantee – Zonta International District 22 Ltd ( Australian Company Number 612 963 194).
District 22 has 44 Clubs from Cairns in the North and Mount Isa and Longreach in the west to Lismore in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales.
The District has more than 1000 active and engaged members including two former International Presidents of Zonta International: Leneen Forde AC who served for the 1990-1992 biennium; and Mary Magee OAM who served for the 2000-2002 biennium. Many Zontians from the District have served at the international level either as an elected Director of the Zonta International and Zonta International Foundation Boards or as an appointment to a Zonta International Committee.

Brave Bradford 10-year-old becomes one of UK's youngest Covid-19 victims
Bradford 10-year-old becomes one of UK's youngest Covid victims
By Brad Deas BradDeas_TandA Reporter
A BRAVE 10-year-old from Bradford is thought to be one of the youngest victims of Covid-19 in the UK.
Fehzan Jamil's parents have spoken of their "indescribable" pain following his death.
The 10-year-old, who had a number of underlying health issues, including epilepsy, died in hospital after contracting the disease and was laid to rest on Monday, November 23.
Speaking to Channel 4 News, Fehzan's parents, Tayyaba and Mohammed Jamil, described their son as a "really brave fighter" and "soldier", who was a cheerful boy despite his health problems.
TUESDAY'S area by area breakdown of Bradford Covid-19 cases
In an interview broadcast on Tuesday evening, his father said: "There were four of us, now there are only three. The pain is indescribable."
His mother added: "I just can't describe our loss. Everything feels empty now."
Fehzan's family tried to shield him during the pandemic, knowing that his health issues made him vulnerable to the virus.
He was kept at home as much as possible, with those coming into the house required to wear a mask.
Mr Jamil said: "We tried our best to keep him safe but somehow Covid got to him."

Fehzan was treated at Bradford Royal Infirmary (BRI) for several years and his family praised the care he received.
Mrs Jamil said: "All of the staff were very good to us.
"They have known Fehzan for many years now and have always looked after him.
"They let us be beside him when he died. It meant a lot."
When Fehzan entered hospital, his family, used to previous trips, had not been too worried.
Mohammed said: "But this time turned out different, he never came home. Covid took him from us."
Fehzan is believed to be one of the youngest victims of the coronavirus pandemic in the UK.
Other young victims include a 13-day-old baby, thought to have no underlying health conditions, who was reported to have died with Covid-19 by NHS England in June.
The 10-year-old's family are thought to have links to the Little Horton of Bradford.
One of the councillors who covers that ward admits the news is a tragic shock and outlined it is a reminder that everyone must continue to take the virus seriously.
Councillor Talat Sajawal (Independent, Little Horton) said: "It's devastating news to know that he's one of the youngest victims of Covid.
"My thoughts and prayers are with his family at the moment."
The councillor has urged people to abide by the "hands, face, space" and social distancing rules in particular, in order to prevent further tragedies like this.
He said: "It puts everything into perspective really, of how serious it is - take it seriously.
"The message is clearly there."
Within minutes of the tragic news being revealed, the T&A's Facebook page was flooded with messages from wellwishers.
One said: "So sad when this terrible virus takes away such a young child. RIP young man."
Another said: "Poor little boy, thoughts go out to his family xx."
One Facebook user added: "Heartbreaking! RIP little man xx."
While another wrote: "Sorry of the loss of your son, Rip. xx."
The interview with Fehzan's family comes as the Government said a further 608 people had died within 28 days of testing positive for the Covid-19 virus, as of Tuesday, November 24.
This is the highest figure since May 12, when 614 deaths were reported, and brings the UK total to 55,838.

Q: How can i show the pagenumber in production Below is my screen

for this screen not showing the page number selection in production when i open sandbox it
 is showing the page number selection below is my sandbox page what i have to do..in production

A: I think the driving factor here is the total number of records in the list. In your sandbox you only have a few records, but in production you have 2000+ records. When the number of records is large the list view doesn't try to count them all and so cannot calculate the total number of pages. You normally do get a page number in the bottom right though; this may be chopped off your screen shot.

A: In other words, if your list view will show more than 2000+ records, it won't give you the amount of pages (because it won't calculate it) It will just let you know that there are more than 2000 records in that view. If the view has less than 2000 records OR 2000 it will tell you how many records and the amount of pages. Also you can change how many records you can see per page.
If you want to see how many records you have for a specific view with filter criteria you would need to use Reports.
I hope that helps!

Some skin conditions come and go – they are annoying while they're here but eventually disappear, like teenage acne. Other skin problems can be quite troublesome and need to be seen by a dermatologist, to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, like adult acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, and skin tags.
What are some of the common skin conditions of older adults?
Eczema. This is a very itchy condition, and looks like patches of red skin with little bumps. Eczema can flare up for a few days or longer and then disappear almost as suddenly. It is an inflammation and commonly appears on the arms or hands, and behind the knees.
Eczema often accompanies dry skin.
There could be a connection between dry skin and misfiring of the immune system.
Some irritants of eczema are hot baths, cigarette smoke, soaps and dust.
It helps to keep skin moisturized and wear cotton clothing.
There are some creams the doctor may prescribe.
Rosacea. Most commonly appears on the cheeks and nose but sometimes it also develops around the mouth and eyes. It exhibits a red, flushing appearance and sometimes has small, red bumps.
Sometimes triggered by hot drinks or hot food, sunlight, alcohol, temperature changes.
Avoiding triggers helps calm rosacea. Sometimes oral or topical antibiotics are prescribed to combat the bacteria living in the skin.
Adult Acne. This can have a number of causes including stress, bacteria, fluctuating hormones.
Looks like white or large red bumps. Usually targets the face.
Acne is a type of skin inflammation which occurs when the natural oils over-produce and clog the pores. Then bacteria moves in and inhabits the pores.
Doctor may prescribe a topical treatment.
This painful skin condition causes patches on the skin that are thick and red with silver-colored scales. Psoriasis causes skin to grow rapidly and is found on the scalp and nail; also seen on the elbows, knees and lower back areas.
Psoriasis may get worse or better. Unfortunately it never goes away.
Medical treatments can help with the symptoms.
Skin tags. These are non-cancerous and can appear almost anywhere. They are common in skin folds like underarms, eyelids, etc.
They are mostly harmless, just bothersome and irritating.
If necessary a dermatologist can remove them.
It's nice to have skin that's in good working condition and free of irritants, so try to catch problems early on and get them taken care of before they turn into something more serious.

Winamp Community Edition - WACUP, where to put it in AppDB ?
Post subject: Winamp Community Edition - WACUP, where to put it in AppDB ?
Right now Winamp is in the process of forking.
There is Winamp 5.8, recently released.
There is also Winamp Community Update [WACUP], https://getwacup.com/ this is based off the open source parts. along with replacements for many of the plugins.
While WACUP is in beta, you can obtain it by joining the beta program at the site.
So, I'd like to add WACUP as a separate app, as it's in effect a fork.
How does Wine normally handle apps that fork, I'd like to check verify if the Winamp bugs still apply, though I'm not sure what happens as they are against Winamp, and this is (sort of?) the same app.
Submit WACUP as a new application, along with a test report. If any existing bugs apply to the forked version, add links to them from the version page after it is accepted.
