It seemed a good day to be Joaquin Phoenix - noon, a Tuesday, the sun-dappled patio of the Chateau Marmont.
Phoenix entered holding a motorcycle helmet and sunglasses. He has two new movies, We Own the Night and this Friday's Reservation Road, his first since his interpretation of a young Johnny Cash in 2005's Walk the Line earned him a best-actor Oscar nomination. The new films are both heavy-duty dramas requiring from Phoenix what he has evoked with stunning professionalism as an actor of only 32 - a turmoil and vulnerability that would be almost pretty-boy, were it not for the blemish above his lip, a lack of physical perfection that paradoxically means he can't be, you know, Spider-Man.
But Walk the Line made him, finally, a star. It was a role - biopic of icon, made the year after the icon's death - that could have been disastrous but was, instead, remarkable for the way it interpreted Cash's look and sound without lapsing into impression.
Phoenix says he hasn't seen the film. The last time he watched himself in a movie, he says, was Ladder 49, in 2004, in which he was a firefighter. Jay Russell, who directed that movie, said: "Actors who are more technically trained, British guys, they don't mind watching themselves because they can check their technique. Joaq comes from the opposite school."
So Phoenix runs on intuition, his own native intelligence, fearful of becoming objective, self-aware. Whether this is actorly artifice or an extension of the honesty he leaves on-screen, he rejects the idea that - for him - watching his work would be instructive.
"I am abhorrently selfish when it comes to making movies. I have to say that I can't recall when I did see a movie I was in, I can't recall it being a pleasurable experience. And it also was of no use to me."

Simple story with cute sparkly embossed pink yarn threading through book allows a child to follow it with their finger. Reinforces mother-child bond with kitten-queen metaphor. Perhaps too simple as it didn't engage my 3-turning-4 year old.

I found today this network and I am interested to in communications related to nanotech.
Some words about my project:
The heat is on for an online social networking community for nanoscientists. The Internet Nanoscience Community, TINC, was cooked up by Hungarian chemistry PhD student Andras Paszternak. It now provides a rich menu of communication tools for the international community of scientists working in the growing field of nanoscience and nanotechnology and recently passed the 4300 members mark.
The virtual nano community is fully equipped with all the functions one expects from a modern online networking site: personal chat, a scientific forum, more than 50 thematic groups, including microscopy, nanomedicine, and even a discussion forum on safety and toxicity. TINC is also a media partner for more than 45 nano conferences on ifferent topics in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
"The main idea was to create something more personal than the other nano networks already on the Internet," says Paszternak. "I started off editing the existing nano website at my institution in Hungary but realized the site could be so much bigger, spreading like a tree and connecting nano scientists across the globe," he adds.
"Registering the web address www.Nanopaprika.eu for TINC was my little joke adding Hungary's favourite spice to the nano community."
The International Nanoscience Community has pulled together a community with more than 4300 members, researchers, students, industrial partners from Europe, India, the USA, and 70 other countries. TINC is open to everyone from post-doctorial researchers and professors to students everywhere. "There is only one important assumption: you have to be interested in nano!" adds Paszternak.
Hope to have useful time on Technical Writing World
Andras Paszternak, PhD

Boys basketball
In the six seasons under Doug Scott's coaching era at Greens Farms Academy, the Dragons have won over 100 games. Only a couple of them, however, have been at the Hopkins School court in New Haven. In fact, it had been three seasons since a GFA team made the trip to Hopkins and won a game. The Dragons snapped that streak on Thursday night, pulling out a 71-64 win.
The Dragon lead went up and down wildly, leading by as much as 16-20 points at times. Late in the game, Hopkins really tapped into their energetic crowd support and shrank the Dragon lead to 59-57.
GFA had to make key defensive stops and depend on the clutch free throw shooting of junior Henry Holzinger (Norwalk) and sophomore Cole Prowitt-Smith (Fairfield).
Prowitt-Smith led GFA scoring with 21 points. Holzinger had 14. Evan Roteman (Fairfield) scored 10. Those three also combined for 17 assists.
Sophomore Greg Lawrence (Fairfield) scored 11 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, dished out five assists and blocked three shots. Senior Sunday Okeke (Darien) sprained a wrist in the first half, which gave him a lot of trouble, but he still scored eight, rebounded 10, assisted on four and blocked four. Freshman Kobi Agard (Norwalk), junior Bennett Close (Norwalk), and freshman Jack Seegers (Stamford) also got in on the scoring while senior Mack Muller (Westport), sophomore Teddy Brown (Greenwich), sophomore Brady Reynolds (Wilton), senior Jacob Manton (Westport) and freshman Max Mitchell (Stamford) all saw action.
Girls basketball
With each team's 1-2 punch cancelling each other out, it was St. Luke's that rode its depth to a 71-52 victory over Greens Farms Academy on Friday afternoon.
GFA senior Lexi Kimball (Easton) and sophomore Katherine Marcus (New Canaan) each tossed in 17 points, almost matching's St. Luke's top two scorers, who netted 18 points apiece.
Sophomore Kelly Van Hoesen (Greenwich) chipped in with eight points while junior Hannah Kozdeba (Shelton) added six. Senior Kaly Houston (Norwalk) added three and sophomore Sarah Peltier (Stamford) had one.
Kimball added eight rebounds, five assists, five steals and a couple of blocks while Van Hoesen hauled down seven rebounds to go with two steals. Marcus also had four rebounds and two assists.
Girls squash
GFA junior Katie Mackle (New Canaan) continued her strong season from the No. 1 slot, winning another match, but the young Greens Farms Academy team still fell to King Low Heywood Thomas by a 6-1 score.

Thank You Table Runner
Date: December 2008
Pattern: This was adapted from Australian Country Threads Pg 42 - 1st Edition Collector's Edition.
Reason: A thank you gift for being care group leaders for five years. They were dairy farmers so I knew a cow theme was in order.
Lessons Learned: Stuff cut on the bias is stretchy. My Aunt taught me some triangle logic.
Thoughts: A class in triangles would be a good thing. Learning how to keep a decent deadline: Also a good thing. This took almost two years to complete.

Weekender Diamond for Jaurez
Date: October 2008
Size: Twin-ish
Inspiration: An orphanage in a garbage dump in Jaurez, Mexico.
Special Fabrics: A friend donated 4" squares - fabric samples from the Weekender clothing line. Another friend gave me the back and the fill.
Lessons Learned: Stretchy fabric is evil. Patience is necessary.
When my friend gave me a small bag of scraps, it didn't occur to me that it would make four tops! This is the first of those.
Here's a "now I can laugh" moment. After I finished wrestling with all four tops, a friend told me it would have been easier using a ball tip needle *face palm*

For my mother. Paper pieced. In my first year of quilting, I don't think it occurred to me to square up.

In Progress: Tipsy Topsy
When I saw this post by Leah Day I knew it was the perfect opportunity to use some more of the blocks that my grandmother has given me in a creative way.
The timing was also great because I have just started using a new kind of batting and I wanted to test quilt a smaller design before I finish a commission using it. The last thing I want is a surprise on a piece with a deadline!
I really want to have this finished by the end of the week so I can start quilting my commission.

Life is Precious
Date: 2008
Reason: Applique Class
Fabrics: The leaves and stem piece were provided by the class teacher, a friend from LBCQ.
Lessons: Needle turn applique, piped borders
Thoughts: This is one of my first attempts at machine quilting - I only had a walking foot back then. I wanted to continue the stems and leaves into the quilting.
This is actually a bit of an emotional wall hanging. The leaves that my friend provided were leftovers from a quilt that she made while sitting in the hospital at her husband's side. Using the same pieces that my friend did during a very hard time in her life reminds me that life is precious. I just can't take it for granted.
My friend's quilt (called Lifelines) and her story is in the book Little Bits of Comfort.

Lilac Fields
Date: 2008
Reason: A friend gave me corduroy blocks that were already cut and pinned into a pattern. I like treats!
Fabrics: The backing is a pink sheet that another friend gave to me.
Lessons: Corduroy frays a. lot. After I put it together I washed it and SO MANY seams frayed. I took the opportunity to use a pretty variegated thread and some fancy stitches and sewed over all the seams.
Thoughts: A very good drag around the house, picnic on the kitchen floor type of quilt!

Pink Baby
Date: June 2012
Size: 30 x 30
Reason: I took some pretty pinks from the blocks my grandma gave me because I knew they would make a cute baby quilt.
Fabrics: Scraps from my stash, my grandma's blocks and a baby blanket of my daughter's.
Lessons: My machine quilting is getting better! Although I'm not doing Leah Day's tutorials per se, most of my quilting information comes from her blog: http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com. She has oodles of videos. My opinion of machine quilting went from "pshh, not happening" when I saw her first video to "I could try it once" to "wheeeeee" after my first quilt.
On the half square triangle centre, I did a loopy style of stippling to hopefully emulate the flight of the butterflies that are appliqued in the centre.
Thoughts: I still need to learn what I am doing wrong or how to fix my wavy edges. Is it a quilting issue? Am I a bad measurer? Do I need to square my quilts better? Probably it's all of the above.
I used a baby blanket we no longer needed. I kept the 'satin' binding from the blanket to use on the quilt.
I traded this to a co-worker for some NuCerity.

My beloved grandmother enjoys creating more blocks than she needs for a project. She then gives many of them to me for me to play with. I made this wall hanging from the first such care package to go in my sewing / spare bedroom. It matches the blue Storm at Sea she gave me for my birthday several years ago.

Dolly Blanket
Date: January 2007
Size: 12 x 18
Inspiration: My daughter's "bee bees" needed a quilt.
Special Fabrics: I used a sleeper that was falling apart.
Thoughts: I did it in a screaming hurry and wasn't really worried about perfection.
Friday, June 8, 2012
Dominic in the Dell
Date: May 2012
Reason: I have collected a lot of eye spy fabrics. I wanted to put a little boy's quilt together. I was also secretly hoping it would tickle the fancy of my friend who has a little boy.
Fabric: I've been collecting fabrics from so many sources for so long. Many of them have been precut to 4" squares for ease of use later on.
Lessons: This is only the second piece that I've machine quilted using a darning foot. I need to remember to keep the needle in the down position when shifting the quilt and to hold the quilt firmly in place when starting again to make sure it doesn't move. There are a lot of little jaggedy lines that I'm sure will go away with practice!
Thoughts: I love machine quilting!! Must do more!!

One Christmas, everyone got potholders. It was when I first started quilting. I wanted to practice making individual blocks. It seemed like a good fit to make them all into potholders. These are Jen's. I enjoyed using DMC floss to quilt them.

Junior's Quilt
Date: July 2006
Reason: The birth of my first born and the love of the ragged edge look.
Fabrics: Fabric from a local warehouse. They were prepackaged in lights and darks for $15/8!
Lessons Learned: Be very careful when cutting the ragged edge. It is quite easy to snip through the seams!

Apple Box #6
Last fall I was given three large apples boxes full of heavy cottons. I immediately started cutting: 6½" squares, 4½" squares and 2½ x 6½" rectangles. This gave me the most out of the pieces of fabric without much waste. I am trying to make each quilt at least 60 x 80
There are 6 quilts in the works (so far) from those boxes, well 5 now that the one I designated #6 has been tied and will be send to the MCC thrift shop for sale.
My quilt group Little Bits of Comfort ( www.lbcq.blogspot.com ) tied this quilt at a bee last weekend.

Lessons in Blue
Alternate Title: Privately I called this quilt "Evil Quilt of Doom". I was pregnant at the time. Tears came often.
Pattern: I drew this pattern four times before I was happy with it.
Date: Top finished 2006
Size: 64 x 80
Inspiration: Precut fabrics were donated to LBCQ. I finally had a sewing machine of my own so I volunteered to take them home and play.
Special Fabrics: Some of the fabrics were starched, some were super stretchy. My favourite was a green fabric with bugs and the yellow fabric with frogs.
Lessons Learned: When sewing 2 pieces together, the bottom piece will stay the same, but the top piece can stretch out a little.
To match seams, put a needle through the 2 seams.
When designing a quilt, attempt to put together pieceable squares that can then be fitted together. ( I was working with pre-cut squares that I was doing my best not to further cut down. This resulted in a lot of T-seams. For a beginner quilter, it was very trying.)
Thoughts: A member of LBCQ machine quilted this and it was sold at an MCC auction for approx $70.

Thank You
Date: 2007
No Pattern
24 x 18
Reason: I wanted to say thank you to someone for the help they provided to my husband.
Best Buys: I got the burgundy from our local MCC thrift store. It was a large piece for only $3.

Taylor's Funky Doodles
Pattern: Down Under Quilts Issue 76 2004
Size: 55 Square
Date: 2007
Inspiration / Reason: The birth of my first niece
Special Fabrics: Bought fabric at a local warehouse.
Lessons Learned: Watch the weave of fabric! The flannels I was getting such a deal on had a very loose weave!
Even if the instructions say not to prewash, do it anyway! The black fabric faded my yellow out to grey so after the whole quilt was done, new yellow was stitched over top.

Arla Dofino Review
I received Arla Dofino for review from Bzz Agent. All opinions are my own.
This was a very interesting review for me. I had never had a chili-lime gouda cheese before. Nor my kids and their friends who happen to be over when I did this review. In my Instagram picture below you see many hands grabbing samples! What is amazing about this cheese is it is all natural. The taste is simply outstanding creaminess. The teens at first thought they would not like it but each one of them was surprised! My son even said mom this would be great in your chili's and taco soups! Then we thought of so many other uses we could use it in besides eating with crackers. I love this stuff!

Tips On How To Design The Perfect Logo For Your Roofing Company
If you want to reach your business goals for your roofing company, it is very important that you design a good logo for it. Your company logo is more than just a visual representation of your business, this will also help you establish good brand recognition. Having a good logo will also increase the popularity of your roofing business and will help you gain more customers in the future. In this article, we will be talking about some important factors that you must first take into consideration before finalizing your roofing company's business logo.
1. Consider the font you will use.
Yes, some people might say that selecting a font for your logo is a boring task, however, you have to keep in mind that typography is a very important step when it comes to designing your company logo. The font you will select for your logo will tell a lot about your roofing company and at the same time, it will also affect the overall appearance of your company logo.
When choosing a font for your roofing company, it is NOT recommendable to use fonts that are too fancy and overly detailed because this will make you look unprofessional. Instead of using fancy types of fonts, go for an ornate calligraphy-style because this will make your logo stunning and elegant.
2. Do not make your logo too detailed.
If you put too much elements on your logo with crazy fonts and colorful images, you will not be able to send a good message to your target audience. Putting too much elements on your company logo is never a wise decision because this will only confuse your potential clients.
It is recommendable that you only include one or two elements that will represent your business. Choose the elements of your logo wisely.
3. Consider the format of your company logo.
When it comes to designing a logo for your roofing company, it is best to use the vector format. This way, you can enlarge or shrink it as much as you can without making your logo pixelated. You can easily place your company logo on tarpaulins and business cards.
4. The colors you will use are very important.
Have you ever wondered why famous fast food logos have use the colors red and yellow? This is because fast food business owners know the fact that red and yellow can stimulate hunger. If you are now designing a logo for your roofing company, you have to consider the colors you will be using.
Using the colors black, white, or gold will make your logo elegant and at the same time, these colors also represent professionalism.
To make sure you design the best logo for your roofing company, feel free to use this article as your guide.

In the ongoing struggle that CNET founder, Halsey Minor, has endured since he first encountered financial difficulties, the court-appointed trustee has now been able to sell-off his horse farm. The decision was made as part of his personal bankruptcy proceedings in order to liquidate funds to pay some of his creditors. Mr. Minor does not reside in Washington, although many readers may be interested in following the story.
The estate was originally listed for an asking price of over $12 million. It will be transferred to a holding corporation for just a little over half of the initial price, a total of $7.5 million. The sale will generate enough money to cover existing liens against the property, as well as the expenses in connection with the sale of the property itself. According to released statements, the net amount left after satisfying the debt, will be $250,000.
Apparently, the value of the property was not included when the list of assets was submitted with the Chapter 7 filing last year. According to the petition, Mr. Minor had reported having approximately $30 million in assets while carrying $50 million in debt. Minor, who founded the C NET company, first began the process of putting the 200 acre property on the market in 2012. It includes several buildings and amenities such as a pool, lakes and plans for future expansions on the grounds.
Many may wonder how wealth can be accumulated and then lost in a relatively short span of time. However, there may be as many reasons for a financial setback as there are people. A majority of Washington residents will probably not be struggling with as much debt as Halsey Minor has been, but to every family who may be struggling with overwhelming debt, the actual sums may not matter as much as the inability to cope. There are options available to those who may be unable to believe that they can get ahead of massive debt. A personal bankruptcy filing may be the answer for recovering monetary balance once again.

In society to retrieve my pills I'd actually had to start removing her things, at first placing them neatly on the projection above the basin. But after I'd removed half a dozen items, a fit of blind rage suddenly struck. Putting my hand into the ministry, I'd swept everything out, the entire contents of the shelf clattering down into the sink, boxes of contraceptives and all. And having extracted the boxes, I'd dropped them into my handbag once turning on my heel and marching in plain out of the flat, not bothering to direct so much as a glance in Janine's direction.

Ammo haul from village pond
Read more below
- Published 27.06.09
Raipur, June 27: The Chhattisgarh police recovered about 270 cartridges from a pond in Durg district yesterday evening, about 25km from the state capital. They suspect Maoists dumped the ammunition.
Sources said a villager found an unclaimed gunny bag lying in a pond in Charoda village of Durg district. The villager informed senior Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel, who was in the village on an official visit at that time.
When villagers opened the bag, they were stunned to find cartridges inside. Baghel immediately informed Durg SP Deepanshu Kabra, who rushed with senior police officers to the site. "The cartridges are of 12 and 315 bore rifles, which are largely used by Maoists," Kabra said.
Baghel has demanded a CBI probe.

A begrudging acknowledgement of Auburn's clearance by the NCAA, from an Alabama fan:
If you haven't already heard, Auburn University has been cleared by the NCAA of any wrong doing in the Cam Newton recruitment case. This bombshell comes as a serious blow to Alabama fans across the state and the nation in general who have devoted the past year and a half, or so, of their lives to spewing out conspiracy theories. I may or may not have been one of these people.
At this point, I am willing to admit that Auburn really is "God's team" and this truly is a "God thing". There is absolutely no other way to explain it. Down on the Plains, the fambly is celebrating, as they should. Whoever was in charge of buying Cam obviously used cash and was smart about it, so props to them.
To all of us who have talked about this for the past year and used any variation of the phrase "well, it ain't gonna count anyway", we better get used to having it rubbed in our faces. By my count, Auburn's now closed the gap from 13-1 to 13-2 and it's gonna stay that way for now, so let them have their moment. We're just gonna have to shut up and take it for a while. Don't forget, it's only a matter of time before they start talking about Trent Richardson's choice in vehicles as much as we talked about Cam's bagman, so we'll have plenty more time to argue.

Change doesn't happen overnight
The month of November was about positive changes.
When we moved to San Diego, Taco Tuesday's and pizza stands got the best of us.
So did margaritas on the beach.
You know… The typical tourist stuff.
But the problem is that we are not tourists. My wife and I plan to stay here for good. And that means we want to enjoy San Diego like she should be enjoyed.
Surfing, triathlons, hiking …
All the cool things that fit people do.
So I knew I just needed to string 21 days of smart choices together.
My approach was the 21 Day Fix Extreme by Beachbody.
This program has been out for awhile but the man in me refused to do a program led by a women. It's funny how my perspective of Autumn Calabrese, the trainer, changed after only 21 days.
Now here is the thing.
I didn't get ripped in 21 days. The pictures don't lie.
But I do have the Big Mo on my side again.
Big Mo is the term used by Darren Hardy in his book The Compound Effect.
Napoleon Hill refers to it as Cosmic Habitforce.
Either way… It's a great thing.
Making smarter choices is easier now.
My clothes fit better and my face looks slimmer. Both of which elevate my confidence!
So my Toastmaster speeches are better, my team videos are better and I am more likely to reach out to a stranger about our Beachbody solution.
All because I decided to make November a month of positive change.
And I don't care what anyone tells you. You have that same power within you. It's the greatest power God blessed you with.
The power to choose.
Will it be a month of negative change or POSITIVE CHANGE.
Because let's face it. Change is a part of life.
Which side of the coin do you want to be on?

Property owners are allowed to increase the rent of their units each year but it is limited by a percentage fixed by the law. For 2015, the allowable rent increase is 2.5% for residential tenancies. However, the rent increase is more of a balancing act for property management and property owners, since they could end up with a loss if the increase has caused some vacancies to materialize. Here are some important points to consider, before you make a decision to hike rents in an economy that is nothing to write home about.
Assessing Tenants and the Market
Research has to be conducted in two areas, and property management will have to assess tenants' value and the state of existing rental market. In order to assess accurately consider the following points:
For Tenants
The last time rents were raised
Who are the valuable tenants and can you risk losing them
Can you consider excluding certain high-value tenants from the rent hike to avoid the risk of losing them
For the Rental Market
§ Review rental rates of similar properties and see how they match up with rent on your property
§ If your rates are higher than other, what features or amenities justify the high rate
§ Is the demand for your type of property higher than usual
§ Your current rate of vacancies
§ What type of units are more in demand, for instance smaller units compared to bigger ones, and should you consider hiking rent for only units with higher demand
Announcing the Increase in Rent
Obviously, nobody is going to be happy with an increase in rent, but the negative effect can be reduced largely by effective communication in a professional, clear, and polite manner. Use the official medium for announcing the hike, which is usually a printed notice on company's or property owner's letterhead. The language should be simple to understand, concise, and include some of the reasons for justifying the increase, so that number of complaints can be reduced before they occur.
Formulating a policy where you tie the increase to an indexed measurement would be an incredible and judicious idea, since that way you can avoid surprises and it can help tenants plan their budget accordingly. For instance, a consumer price index would be a magnificent point of reference to base the increase.
After the Announcement
After the increase in rent has been announced, be ready to respond to negative feedback and even outright anger and shock from tenants. Ready a list of legitimate justifications, which you feel were the main reasons behind the hike in rents. Some of the reasons that most tenants will understand them to be legitimate are higher costs of repairs and maintenance, expensive janitorial service, higher cost of utilities, and increased rates of property fees and taxes.
If you are planning to improve features and amenities for enhancing the living experience of tenants then make a point to mention it to them. However, first make sure, most tenants will value such improvements. There is not any point in increasing parking spaces for instance if everyone already has a spot to park and there are already enough extra spots available. Finally and moreover, if you have not raised the rent in a long time, point out the duration since the last increase in rent took place. But keep in mind that the economy has not improved in years so that date may not mean as much.

Sample Weights in Solid Waste Composition Studiesby Albert J. Klee, Chf.; Operational Analysis Branch, Div. of Tech. Operations, Bureau of Solid Waste Mgmt., Envir. Health Service, Public Health Service, U.S. Dept. of Health, Education, and Welfare,
Dennis Carruth, Staff Engr.; Div. of Res. and Development, Bureau of Solid Waste Mgmt., Envir. Health Service, Public Health Service, U.S. Dept. of Health, Education, and Welfare,
Serial Information: Journal of the Sanitary Engineering Division, 1970, Vol. 96, Issue 4, Pg. 945-954
Document Type: Journal Paper
This work analyzes the data obtained from separating and weighing samples of municipal solid waste collected during seven field studies and presents a statistical technique to estimate the number of samples required for determining solid waste composition to a required precision. Solid waste samples of various weights were taken and separated into nine components. Each component was weighed and the resulting data were statistically evaluated. No important differences in precision were established among sample weights greater than 200 lb. The study indicates that sample weights of 200 lb will safely yield satisfactory results in determining the composition of municipal sources of solid waste, provided the samples are taken from a well-mixed source such as an incinerator pit.

A. Be as natural as possible. Do not try to be someone you are not. Be yourself. In an attempt to be someone else, your opinions will not be portrayed.
B. Sit with a straight and confident posture.
C. Be assertive yet humble. You need to stick to your values and beliefs, but learn to respect the values and opinions of others too.
D. Grab the opportunity to speak first, i.e. to start the group discussion with your opinion. It generally leaves a good impression on the evaluator, but take the move only if you have complete knowledge of the subject.
E. Do not repeat a point, or be lengthy or irrelevant. Also intervene, if someone else is going on an irrelevant track.
F. Facilitate contribution from others. Do not just go on and on and on with only your opinionated view. Remember, it is a group discussion. Allow others to speak too.
G. Make an eye contact with all the participants. It creates more room for conversation. Also keep nodding, when others speak, it shows receptivity.
H. Be an active and dynamic participant. The examiner wants to hear you speak. So do put forth your views.
I. Be positive and prepare your thoughts well but do not be over-confident.
J. Think well before you speak. You are being heard and judged upon.
K. When raising an objection to a point kept by another speaker, back it up with a solid reason to get the point across.
L. Use quotes, facts and figures, statements, everyday life examples to express a clear chain of thoughts. Also it might leave a good impression on the examiner and help you score well.
These are some basic yet very vital tips that will help you feel a bit more confident about yourself and make you ready to appear for that group discussion trend.
