Buffer Boomerang Technique explained on the TrulyYourVA with Janis podcast. Special guest Richard Blank Costa Rica's Call Center.
Janis Melillo: K. Another question, and I'm not sure what this is, I'm very intrigued by it, and I have to tell you about four or five times I went to go on Google just to search this term, but I'm like, I, I wanted to save that suspense for this question. Yes. Tell me more about the famous buffering boomerang
Richard Blank: technique.
The buffer boomerang technique? Mm-hmm. , I like it. It's really more of conflict management because somebody may ask you a question with a very negative tone. In fact, I'll show you the image. There's my famous buffer boomerang technique, so somebody might ask you a question with a negative tone. What I like to do is buffer the negative tone.
I like to do a name. Bring it around by saying, that's an excellent question. Repeating the question to show active listening and then sending it back as a plus two. So for an example, let's say I'm prospecting your company. I'm calling truly your va, and somebody says, What is your name? I go, Ah. Janice, I'm so glad that you asked that question.
Once again, my name is Richard Blank, and so you can almost reset the tone on something like that. People will be asking you questions and so I think instead of just answering it as a, you know, a toe to toe's office answering a question cuz you're in trouble. Sometimes you need to buffer the tone, smooth that out a bit, show the active listening and send it back.
And so a lot of the times people will also be doing desert pitching or they'll just be going through a list of the services that they have. I, I think people need to pause every now and again for rest and for drink. In a desert, you need an oasis. And there's also times for positive and negative reinforcement.
And when you find a certain area that you like, you take it from a horizontal to a vertical. And then you start stacking open-ended questions. These like your virtual assistants, they need to show empathy on the phone and a lot of active listening. I believe that using names are very important. You should do that during tie down or pin down or clarification questions, and then amongst the conversation, using the pronouns of your and are to keep their attention in every 32nd.
Two minute intervals. And so buffer Boomerang is really just one of many techniques just to show active listening, so you're not just reacting, you're almost in mode of acting because of listening and adjusting your conversation accordingly. So the most frustrating thing is repeating. And so as long as that you once again, understand where that person is coming from, it could lower temperatures, bring back a speed and give you a little bit more control on a call.
Janis Melillo: I love that because Richard, I think there is such a difference from hearing to listening. So you take an active engagement, for instance, obviously we're on Zoom, we're streaming live through, uh, through my Facebook page and people can hear it, but are they listening?
Richard Blank: Most of the time though.
Janis Melillo: Yes, I, I, I agree.
I agree. Objections right there. There's a lot of distractions and I think in, in our, like I said, in the digital world today, you know, there's, for instance, news notifications. I've had to turn off all my news notifications as much as possible because it's distracting. Because when I'm working for a client, as I'm sure you are, because I think we have the same, uh, work ethic, I have to tune, I turn, tune all that stuff out because that is a distraction and it's only human nature to, you know, look down.
Oh, you know, there's some other news alert. Turn off the distractions. Cause I think that's a lot of outside clutter. We don't need clutter when we're focusing on the task at hand.
Richard Blank: We may not have the luxury of that sort of controlled environment in our offices Right now, there's no distractions. But if you and I were somewhere having lunch and there's a lot of noise, we still might need to find that focus.
So that's why I mentioned 30 seconds to two minutes. And I also believe, once again, when you are, um, engaged with the individual by having checkpoints either repeating what you say, confirming what you say, thumbing up what you say, moving on on what you say, because it would be foolish of me to be three or four points down or thinking of that.
We haven't even confirmed the one that we are on right now. Mm-hmm. . So people need to slow down a bit. And I think what's very important for me as well, and it can almost set the pace as a positive escalation, if there are individuals that assist you prior to being transferred or just anybody along the way, they should be mentioned verbally and in writing.
So let's just say hypothetically I'm calling a company back. This individual answering the phone will thank me for that compliment. Give me more company information, company culture, and would love to transfer the call. So it's almost like the philosophy of wwe, Janice. Well, we're just trying to reduce any sort of resistance.
Go with the current. Mm-hmm. , let the wind be in your sales. And so when you're trying to force a fit, you're trying to shove in your point, you're stepping on someone's toes, you're interrupting. We're not dancing well. And I think there's a very good place. Where through deductive reasoning, letting the person talk and then choosing.
What is the area of focus and possibly getting back to what you need to later in the conversa? Your conversation may be prolonged, but it's also a quality call, and I'm not saying we're repeating anything. What we're possibly doing, Dennis is expanding on certain topics where I couldn't get it before. I love meeting minute.
Because when someone concludes a conversation, if they can send an email back on all the points that they talked about, a, they're accountable for it. It's dated, so someone can't say they forgot about it. And it's an excellent point that where you pick up, where you left off, you start going through the, the checkpoint and delegating.
Who has a responsibility, if these are just first time relationships, we need to create certain boundaries and parameters and protocols because your way of working may be different from mine. And so as long as there's no surprises prior, and we can adjust that accordingly, it should flow exceptionally well.
Janis Melillo: Right. So the next question that I wanna ask you,

Top 8 Things to Look for When Buying a Home Safe.
If you are looking into getting a safe for your home, you may have found that the task can be a bit overwhelming. We have outlined what we feel are the top 8 considerations…and have linked to our top picks in the links below.
The first thing to determine is:
Budget – Quality safes can be found that will fit any budget.
The Size and Weight – will vary greatly depending on the type of safe and the volume required to store the items you want to protect.
Construction
Construction standards vary depending on the type of safe. However, here are a few things to look for in a fairly standard-sized 1.5 cubic foot safe.
Heavy-duty Steel – The walls of the safe should be constructed of 14-6 gauge steel.
Concealed Hinges – Many of the top-rated home safes will use concealed hinges and/or deadlocks.
Live Door Bolts – Most home safes will have 2-4 on the side of the door.
Types of Safes
A quality safe for your home can protect against theft, fire, or even water. Not all models protect against all these risks.
The most common types of homes safes are:
Portable – A small home safe to bring the safe with your valuables and important paperwork with you.
Wall Safe – Installed in between the wall studs, they can be easily concealed behind furniture or prints and paintings.
Stand-Alone – They come in a variety of sizes and may provide additional protection against fire, water, and theft.
Gun safes – These are available in various sizes, from small handgun boxes to massive safes for an arsenal.
Fire Resistance
Most fireproof home safes can maintain temperatures of less than 350°F for a minimum of 30 minutes after being exposed to flames. Higher quality fireproof home safes can protect valuables for up to 2 hours against temperatures as high as 1850°F.

http://www.v8tvshow.com - 314-783-8325 - Header wrapping used to be somewhat of a black art. The goal is to keep the hot exhaust gases flowing, and wrapping the pipes with an insulating barrier helps keep the heat in. The side benefit is that properly wrapped headers can help keep under hood temperatures down as well. The challenge is to use the proper material and wrap the headers so that they are not only functional, but they do not look like a bandaged mummy when finished. In this video, Dan Stark from DEI shows us the right way to wrap headers using their Titanium Header Wrap, stainless ties, and the cool new tie wrap tool to keep the heat under wraps. http://www.designengineering.com/

http://crosstec.de/de/foren/37-contentbuilder-general-forum/91358-crown-capital-earth-management-fraud-warriors.html jakarta capital environmental blog, crown eco management, The Hard Proof That Global Warming Is a Scam The Mail on Sunday today presents irrefutable evidence that official predictions of global climate warming have been catastrophically flawed. The graph on this page blows apart the ‘scientific basis’ for Britain reshaping its entire economy and spending billions in taxes and subsidies in order to cut emissions of greenhouse gases. These moves have already added £100 a year to household energy bills. Steadily climbing orange and red bands on the graph show the computer predictions of world temperatures used by the official United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The estimates – given with 75 per cent and 95 per cent certainty – suggest only a five per cent chance of the real temperature falling outside both bands. But when the latest official global temperature figures from the Met Office are placed over the predictions, they show how wrong the estimates have been, to the point of falling out of the ‘95 per cent’ band completely. The graph shows in incontrovertible detail how the speed of global warming has been massively overestimated. Yet those forecasts have had a ruinous impact on the bills we pay, from heating to car fuel to huge sums paid by councils to reduce carbon emissions.

Bryan Sellers started the American Le Mans Series event in tenth place, hard charging the 2012 Falken Tire Porsche 911 GT3 RSR up through the field. Falken's Azenis RT Slicks endured the track temperatures and high load corners of Road Atlanta lap after lap, and allowed Sellers to maintain position before handing the car off to Austrian Martin Ragginger. In his first stint, Ragginger drove with a purpose, working his way up from ninth to third. For the rest of the endurance event, the Falken Tire Porsche kept consistent lap times and held perfectly executed pit stops, allowing the team to maintain position and remain competitive.

The name Ladakh conjures an image of a land of many passes. It nestles in the trans Himalayan region bordered by Pakistan and Tibet at heights of 2600 to 7000 m above sea level. Ladakh receives less than 100 mm of rainfall in a year and is a high altitude cold desert region with temperatures dropping to -40 degrees Celsius. Home to an estimated 170,000 people who live in remote villages and hamlets, it is completely cut off from the outside world for more than 5 months in a year. More than half the villages and hamlets are accessible by foot, up to 3 days walking from nearest motorable point. As other energy forms were unviable, Solar was the natural choice, considering that Ladakh is blessed with sunshine for more than 300 days in a year. Watch the video to discover how Tata BP Solar transformed the lives of the inhabitants of Ladakh, bringing light and hope to their doorstep…
David Attenborough journeys to both polar regions to investigate what rising temperatures will mean for the people and wildlife that live there and for the rest of the planet.
David starts out at the North Pole, standing on sea ice several metres thick, but which scientists predict could be open ocean within the next few decades. The Arctic has been warming at twice the global average, so David heads out with a Norwegian team to see what this means for polar bears. He comes face-to-face with a tranquilised female, and discovers that mothers and cubs are going hungry as the sea ice on which they hunt disappears. In Canada, Inuit hunters have seen with their own eyes what scientists have seen from space; the Arctic Ocean has lost 30% of its summer ice cover over the last 30 years. For some, the melting sea ice will allow access to trillions of dollars worth of oil, gas and minerals. For the rest of us, it means the planet will get warmer, as sea ice is important to reflect back the sun's energy. Next David travels to see what is happening to the ice on land: in Greenland, we follow intrepid ice scientists as they study giant waterfalls of meltwater, which are accelerating iceberg calving events, and ultimately leading to a rise in global sea level.
Temperatures have also risen in the Antarctic - David returns to glaciers photographed by the Shackleton expedition and reveals a dramatic retreat over the past century. It is not just the ice that is changing - ice-loving adelie penguins are disappearing, and more temperate gentoo penguins are moving in. Finally, we see the first ever images of the largest recent natural event on our planet - the break up of the Wilkins Ice Shelf, an ice sheet the size of Jamaica, which shattered into hundreds of icebergs in 2009.
There is no greater test for life than winter, as temperatures plummet to 70 below and winds reach 200kph. Darkness and ice extend across the polar regions and only a few remarkable survivors gamble on remaining.
We join a female polar bear trekking into the Arctic mountains to give birth as the first blizzards arrive. Out on the frozen ocean, the entire world's population of spectacled eider ducks brave the winter in a giant ice hole kept open by ferocious currents. Arctic forests transform into a wonderland of frost and snow - the scene of a desperate and bloody battle between wolf and bison, but also where a remarkable alliance between raven and wolverine is made. Beneath the snow lies a magical world of winter survivors. Here tiny voles dodge the clutches of the great grey owl, but cannot escape the ultimate under-show predator - the least weasel.
Midwinter and a male polar bear wanders alone across the dark, empty icescape. Below the snow, polar bear cubs begin life in an icy den while fantastical auroras light the night skies above. In Antarctica, we join male emperor penguins in their darkest hour, battling to protect precious eggs from fierce polar storms. Weddell seals escape to a hidden world of jewel-coloured corals and alien-looking creatures but frozen devastation follows as sinister ice stalactites reach down with deadly effect.
The sun finally returns, and with it comes the female emperor penguins, sleek and fat, ready to deliver the first meal to their precious chick. Having survived winter, this ultimate ice family now have a head start in raising baby. The Adelies flood back and as the ice edge bustles with life, male emperor penguins can finally return to the sea.
A stop motion using 30 plates and 6000 PCR tubes that explores a world with gradients.
The Veriti® thermal cycler has âVeriflex®â technology which during gradient PCR allows you to independently set each of the 6 individual zones rather than just set the high and low temperatures of a gradient
This means that optimization of a new reaction can be done using 6 precise temperatures, (giving the user more freedom to try varying annealing temperatures) and you can effectively run two separate thermal cycling protocols on the same instrument at the same time.
Arizona is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. We visited canyons, cliff dwellings, deserts, ruins, Indian reservations as well as beautiful Sedona. Arizona has some of the best wine vineyards in the U.S. that we visited. We were caught "Standing on the Corner in Winslow Arizona". We had wonderful meals at El Tovar at the Grand Canyon, the Jerome Grand Hotel in Jerome, the L'Auberge in Sedona, and the Tourquoise Room in Winslow. The weather was beautiful and the temperatures perfect. Arizona is a must.

Pennan Brae's video, 'I Need You Now' was shot in the sweltering heat of Osaka this August, 2010. DIrected by Mogcat Productions, the premise is of a young man writing a love letter which he folds into a paper airplane & hurls in the air, hoping it finds his love. The paper airplane begins its hopeful journey for 'her'. It navigates crowds by the thousands, skips past planes, trains & automobiles & ventures in an arcade & music store, amongst other places. Pennan & Mogcat looked forward to uncovering attractive backdrops. Luckily, Osaka is full of bright lights & unique settings that only exist in Japan. The pair filmed on the roof of the highest spot in town. They captured a glass escalator 550 feet above the ground. The duo took for the tallest Ferris Wheel & timed their shots within the ride's big circle. They went underground for scenes in the Osaka subway system & filmed in the halls of an infamous 'love hotel' (ie; you can rent the room by the hour). Waived off by security guards & watched warily by security cameras, it was a non-stop adventure from start to finish. & as day gives way to night, the paper airplane discovers its destination & lands at the feet of the girl for whom it was sent. As she opens the note, it reveals the title of the song & message of the author; 'I Need You Now'! Other Fun Facts: -2010 was the hottest summer on record in Japan since 1946 -Osaka recorded the hottest temperatures within Japan during the shooting of the video -2 Ferris Wheels were used in the video, 1 in Kobe & 1 in Osaka -3 locations were used; Kyoto, Kobe & Osaka

In this segment, Dr. Isaac Eliaz exposes the growing dangers of plastic packaging. Each year in the United States, nearly 90 million plastic bottles are purchased, burdening both the environment and your health. Certain chemicals contained in these plastic containers—including bisphenol-A (BPA) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)—act as xenoestrogens, or substances that mimic estrogen in the body. They seep into your beverages during normal use, and are especially potent at high temperatures.
Bill opens up a vintage "black box" from a Delta airlines jetliner. He describes how the box withstands high temperatures and crash velocities because it made from Inconel: A superalloy steels that is used in furnaces and others extreme environments. The flight data recorder he shows is a Sundstrand FA-542 and was liked used on a DC-9 in the 1970s, although it could have been used as late as 1988 on a Boeing 727.
A LONG DHVOF chromium carbide coating is here applied to a gas swirl assembly used in power plant operations. The assembly will be installed in a circular duct which carries hot gas streams laden with erosive and corrosive fly ash. The swirl is designed to accelerate and divert the gas streams , which achieve temperatures of up to 600°F and velocities of 4000-5000 feet per minute (FPM). Application of the chromium carbide protective coating serves to greatly extend the service life of the gas swirl assembly. For additional information, visit http://www.longevitycoatings.com
On March 30, 2010 a team of eight people departed for Spitsbergen (Norway). There, they boarded a chartered Antonov 74 twin-engine jet, which took them to a Russian polar base on the arcic ice cap. Their goal: to ski the last degree of lattitude to the North Pole, a distance of roughly 112 kilomters.
Normally, this distance can be covered in about a week. However, extremely low temperatures, wind, ice-drift and open water created one challenge after another. On top of all this, the team has the task of performing scientific measurements of ice thickness and show cover. This episode offers a short impression of their adventures.

Introduction
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) can be used for a variety of floatation devices, such as rafts, docks and billets. Buoyancy billets are usually produced in standard sizes but can be easily customized. They are suitable for fresh and salt water and are unaffected by winter temperatures. EPS billets can support 55 lbs. per cubic foot, which is significantly more than typical wood floatation devices. Since EPS is lightweight and easy to work with, installation and maintenance costs are low.
EPS buoyancy systems are safe for the environment. They are ozone friendly, no CFCs are used in their production, and they have no food value for marine animals. Growth of marine life in stagnant water does not impa
ir the buoyancy of the billet and can be easily removed with a scraper.
EPS floatation structures exhibit excellent rebound characteristics with minimum rocking, provide less resistance to breaking waves and are quieter than those with other types of floatation such as drum floats.
Floatation:
In summer months, it is not unusual to find the nearest watering hole filled with people escaping the heat and enjoying the water as well as sights and sounds. Many water-related activities are made safer with the use of expanded polystyrene (EPS) from floating docks to life-saving devices and buoys to surf and boogie boards. Whether you recognize it or not, EPS is everywhere on the waterfront.

What is EPS Foam?
EPS is short for Expanded Polystyrene. Basically, you take a polystyrene resin and combine it with some heat and steam to expand the bead to a certain point.
Then you let the expanded beads sit overnight to release the blowing agent used in the bead that makes it expand.
The next day you take the beads and put it into a mold and combine them with heat, steam and pressure.
The beads then expand and fuse into one another to make a solid block. Because of the steam used in the block most manufacturers allow the blocks to sit and dry/cure for up to two weeks.
Some manufacturers have dry rooms where they put the blocks to dry. Because the dry rooms have high temperatures the blocks can dry much faster and be used 1 or 2 days.
Other thing that most people dont realize is that the blocks that come out of the molds are sometimes 24 feet log so they have to placed vertical. If you dont put the blocks vertical then they will bow and your will able to use less of the block.

The Koven Plus Down Jacket is a 700 fill down jacket with fully sealed seams and the Cloudburst Stretch fabric that gives amazing breathability without giving up protection against the elements. This level of down fill traps a lot of heat, so this jacket is best reserved for people that are exposed to extreme temperatures and need the same protection that expedition mountaineers are using. So if 'extreme' is more like a small ski hill in Michigan, maybe look for a different jacket.
Marey Electric Tankless Water Heater for the shower head. Perfect to give a boost in the incoming water for homes, RVs, Campers, Shops and much more. Intended for warm climates where incoming water temperatures are above 65 degrees F.
The 2010 Hellroaring Jacket has a bonus feature of an attached hood, which is a no brainer because sometimes it does rain in the outdoors. That added feature plus a little heavier weight help it withstand a greater range of weather conditions and temperatures. Although this jacket is intended for fishing, it is also usable for hiking, climbing, and other activities.

The temperature at which a wine is served is important, so you should take the time to at least study the basics. The common saying that white wines should be served chilled and red wines at room temperature is a sensible place to start, but that's not entirely true.
Motorola has asked Mike Rowe to check out their toughest phones, the Brute and the i1. The Brute is a flip phone built to military specifications - capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, shock, vibration, pressure and humidity. The i1 is just as rugged, and it's an Android smart phone that also has push-to-talk capability and a touchscreen. ItâÂÂs the ultimate multi-tasking device, so you can balance your work life, social life and family life, all in one place. It works hard AND smart.
