What makes NASA Great Lakes Region HPDE different than other DE programs?
In 2014 NASA Great Lakes region dramatically re-engineered our entire HPDE program. If you were around back then you'll remember that HPDE 1 and 2 were combined sharing the same classroom. HPDE 3 and 4 were combined and ran on track at the same time. At that time had 33 certified instructors coming from two different regions using different HPDE programs. We had 1 classroom instructor per region and our total HPDE staff amounted to 4 people. In the winter of 2013 over a kitchen table in Columbus Ohio, curriculum founders Paul King, John "JT" Taylor and Eric Meyer rewrote our entire approach to HPDE learning. Back then we had one directive from Regional Director Jay Andrew: "Help those drivers advancing to W2W racing be better racers, better passers and have more situaitonal awareness. Make our DE customers better drivers that don't have contact or crash into others". The end goal of our efforts was to make the very best drivers a team and system could produce using 3 things: 1. The NASA Passport, 2. The NASA CCR and 3. talented, collaborative people working as a team. HPDE 1 John Santiago and Robert Ellis joined us in 2015+ and have been making huge contributions to both the HPDE 1 and the entire DE curriculum. Our HPDE 2 program benefits with 3 group leaders and a 1:3 Instructor to student ratio with Derek Mortland and Joey Pollak. Our HPDE 3 program is led by senior veteran racer and driver Robin Burnett. This curriclum w a 5 event minimum attendance before requesting a check out ride prepares drivers for options in continuing in HPDE 3 or 3, competing in Time Trails, Comp School success and an early start to our Instructor Program.
Ee have developed and continue to improve and modify our HPDE program into what you see today. A thread of continuous improvement runs through our leadership culture and each year we revisit our goals and performance and modify accordingly. To date we have certified or recertified over 160 new and legacy instructors, we have 8 classroom instructors/group leaders and have qualified instructors teaching, mentoring and supporting all 4 HPDE groups. Every 3 years we require a recalibration to all legacy instrutors via a 1/2 day Friday on track and classroom program. The main emphasis for this is tieing the classroom and on-track actions together which is at the center of our HPDE 1 and 2 programs. That which is presented in the classroom is immediately reinforced on track via drills, feedback and summary evaluation. This experience is then reviewed back in the classroom and then the next driving concepts are presented and the process repeats. The instructor is really an extension of the classroom.
Our program was designed and is currently staffed by professional educators, corporate trainers, teachers, scoutmaters, ball coaches and motivated instructors that love to give back. Our culture is one of continuous improvment and our leadership team seeks out new ideas and technologies everyday. We strive to deliver a better customer experience and greater delivery and acceptance of leading HPDE driving concepts. HPDE 1 Group leader and curriculum contributor John Santiago says it best: "We are a learning organization".
Our HPDE program is similar to other NASA region offerings except for a few key differences:
1. About a week prior to the event you'll receive an e-mail with your customer pairing and their e-mail address. Plan to reach out to them. Some customers report to us that they never recieved this email. Send it a few times. First contact is key---especially for a 1st timer. Our NASA GL web page has a great page specifically designed for the new HPDE 1 driver. Send them this link:
2. Your first meeting will likely be on grid before tech. Tell them in your e-mail that you'll be asking them a few questions about their car, their weekend goals, past track experience, etc. Every instructor has their own style when meeting their customer. Set a professional learning expectation. You are the expert. They will follow your lead.
3. Also on Saturday morning you'll be teching your customer's car. Become familiar with this document b/c you'll be using it. Remind them to show up with the form filled out. TECH FORM
4. When you meet your customer on grid for the first session it will be a RECON/FAMILIARITY LAP. Plan to point out the flag stations and put them at ease. Get to grid early, confirm communicator accuracy and get to know them. Remember the first impression your first intructor had on you? Make a good first impression.
5. Your weekend will be based on using the session documents or the "1, 3, 5" (one, three, five) document packet. Study this package. The 1, 3, 5 one page is the secret to supporting what your customer just learned in the classroom and what your goal is on track. Please see at the top of each document is the drill definition you'll be running as soon as you roll on track. READ THAT FIRST. Your customer will be handing you paper copies of the 1, 3, 5 early Saturday morning. It is your job to use it constructively to help them learn. Bring a pen/pencil. Tell them to bring one too. They will be using the 1, 3, 5, your evaluation and your summary notes in class after every on track session.
1/3/5 Session Package Forms you'll be using
Drill Descriptions you'll be using
6. If your student wants to advance and he/she initiates advancement here is what you'll need to know: HPDE 1 TO 2 ADVANCEMENT INSTRUCTIONS for Instructor
Plan for success and you will acheive it. We have a learning organization and there are a ton of resouces you can tap into at the track to help your customer have an amazing weekend and a ton of fun. Invite them to the party. Invite them to the track walk. Take them for a ride or watch the race with them. If you need me I am just a radio call away and John Santiago and Robert Ellis are always either at their trailers next to grid, in the classroom or on track. We are here to help you have success with your customer. Don't hesitate to ask if we can help.

Willy Mason
- Folk
- Singer/Songwriter
Willy Mason has been performing and recording his plain spoken and philosophically intrepid songs internationally for 15 years. First introduced to the world by Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes he has gone on to work with some of the most influential artists of the day including Mumford and Sons, The Chemical Brothers, Radiohead, Laura Marling, Roseanne Cash, Jamie Woon, and Lianne La Havas. Equally at home in the charts and in the basement, he has consistently worked to redefine the norms of success, helping to bring house concerts and lyrical songcraft to the mainstream in the UK, and mentoring up and coming artists in the US. Called the best songwriter of his generation by Steve Earle and a hobo Holden Caulfield by Rolling Stone, Willy's songs deal with the tragedy and confusion of life in the 21st century, telling stories with a reassuring honesty and a consistent undercurrent of hope, love, and connection.
Isaac Taylor
- Folk
- Singer/Songwriter
acoustic folk set to an island pace
To say music is in his blood is an understatement. Nephew to James Taylor, Livingston Taylor, and Kate Taylor, Isaac Taylor's musical foundation is obviously a strong one. While he admits he was never a great student, it was through connections made during his years at Tabor Academy and Berklee School Of Music that led him to recording his debut album, Peace in the Valley. During that time he met Andrew and Brad Barr (The Slip, Barr Brothers), whose friendship and encouragement helped him find his voice.
Fast forward to a few years ago, when the Barr Brothers invited Taylor to open for them on a Canadian tour. Despite being admittedly "nervous as hell", Taylor says it was the success of that 8-show stint that gave him the motivation to record his songs. He tracked 9 originals and 2 covers at the refurbished recording studio within Columbus Theatre in Providence, with Andrew and Brad Barr backing him up. Since the recording of Peace in the Valley, Taylor has opened shows for Martin Sexton, Leif Vollebekk and the David Wax Museum.

I reflected that it would be good to persuade him to move to a place that is not so far away… and possibly but down on some of their team sports activities and devote the time to playing couple sports like tennis together. But sometimes, all this could be a time of testing… if a relationship can withstand this difficult and strenuous time, then it shows that both people are strong enough to retain your individuality yet able to flow together as a couple.
MH and I also find it frustrating at times that we have so little time together. Even though we see each other every night before we sleep, sometimes we're just to tired to talk… especially MH… I discovered that the male species gets more easily tired of using his voice and runs out of words faster than the female of his kind. The male just feels numb after a hard day's work and just want to stone in front of the TV or computer. This can sometimes be very frustrating indeed for the female who has a lot of thoughts and feelings she is bursting to share or just has an earnest desire to connect and communicate and bond. Or maybe it's just me. MH says it's just so amazing that I can have so much to say every day.
But we do have our private 'time outs' throughout the week… like movie night on Mondays/Tuesdays, bus rides home after bible study on Wednesdays, dinner together on Fridays, and McDonalds breakfasts on Saturdays. These are little moments that I treasure. When the whole world seem to be rushing by, it's good to take a moment to stop and let it rush buy while you stop and savour the moment with someone you love. Nice thought.

Orange Files a Patent Infringement Claim Against Cub Elecparts Inc.
26 Jan, 2017, 12:52 GMT
The Taiwan Intellectual Property Court has conducted the evidence-preservation procedure against Cub Elecparts Inc.
TAIPEI, Taiwan, Jan. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- To protect the company's rights and intellectual property, Orange Electronic Co., Ltd. (4554) ("Orange") has filed a complaint with the Taiwan Intellectual Property Court, accusing that Cub Elecparts Inc. (2231) ("Cub") infringed on Orange's "Tire pressure detecting apparatus and tire pressure detector identification copying method for the same ("ID Copy") invention patent, and is therefore requesting that the Court conduct an evidence-preservation procedure against Cub.
The Court approved the request and conducted the evidence-preservation procedure last Thursday (Jan. 19), collecting a large amount of evidence and keeping it at the Court. Following a long-term investigation, Orange believes that the TPM-related products manufactured and sold by Cub, such as Sensor AID and Uni-sensor, infringed on Orange's invention patent and TPMS technologies in connection with the ID Copy intellectual property rights. To protect Orange and its shareholders' rights, Orange has recently requested that the Taiwan Intellectual Property grant an evidence-preservation procedure, which the Court has agreed to and carried out.
Since its establishment, Orange has focused on TPMS research, development, and manufacturing. Orange is the technology pioneer in the domestic TPMS industry, the leading player in Taiwan and North America's AM markets, and has successfully entered Taiwan and China's OEM automobile supply chains. Furthermore, due to its focus on the research and development, manufacturing, and marketing of single TPMS products, it has obtained impressive research and development results as well as technology know-how.
Lastly, due to the competitive market saturated by large international players, Orange highly respects and understands the importance of patent and intellectual property rights. Orange has already obtained 57 invention patents from various countries such as Taiwan, the United States, the EU, Japan, and China. The invention patent in question is TPMS's ID copy technology, which is the key technology that contributes to Orange's great success in the North American market. This ID Copy patent has revolutionized the traditional TPMS's complicated and prolonged programming process. Not only does it overcome the tire installation- and programming-related issues, it also greatly simplifies the installation procedure to save the tire industry precious time and labor cost. As a result, since 2010 it has been the first replacement part manufacturer recommended by the Tire Industry Association in Asia in its Supplier Guide, and has been included ever since.
In addition to investing large resources in TPMS research and development and testing to establish its patent portfolio and to strengthen its competitive advantages, Orange also places tremendous focus and respect in its competitors' intellectual property rights. Orange institutes specific divisions to monitor and analyze industry-related patent developments to ensure that Orange's product development will not infringe upon other party's patents. Therefore, in the history of developing Universal TPMS, Orange will not distribute products until both internal and external experts have provided analysis and followed the issuance of related patents in applicable countries such as the United States, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom. As a result, Orange is the only Taiwanese TPMS manufacturer that has obtained the parameter setting method of tire monitor patent in the United States.
In regards to this matter, Orange has filed a patent infringement claim against Cub to demand damages compensation, injunction against the distribution of the infringing products, and other injunction against patent infringement, to ensure Orange's rights are protected.

Six years ago, when I had just been appointed as the Director for Economic and Business Development in Espoo the Helsingin Sanomat daily newspaper came to interview me at the Keilaniemi metro construction site. Since that day, the Tapiola metro tunnel has served as the venue for Slush, Europe's largest growth company event that specialises in bringing together startups and international investors and the metro stop at Aalto University has been used as the inspiration for a new augmented reality concept created by a group of international students that allows people to enjoy a virtual art gallery experience while waiting for their train. On Espoo Day, the acoustics at Otaniemi station were put to the test and given a seal of approval by legendary Finnish band Retuperän WBK, while cyclists have also enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to make use of these underground cycle super highways.
Investors meeting startups in the as yet unfinished metro tunnel during Slush 2013.
It has been great to witness how the metro has already proved so inspiring for so many and been put to good use as the physical backdrop for such a huge number of events, encounters and experiences. That said, I could not agree more with Arja Miller, Chief Curator at Espoo Museum of Modern Art (EMMA), who in an interview in the August issue of Kauppalehti Optio magazine said: "West Metro, please come, we need you," before adding: "We are delighted at the number of people who have discovered Emma already, but for tourists in particular, direct metro access will make a huge difference." The metro expansion will herald a new sense of dynamism for the entire capital region. International tourists will definitely feel the benefits, but so will local visitors, for whom the new rail map will be an excellent and convenient way to get to know the area better.
At Tapiola metro station, a brand new landmark awaits travellers. Emma jättää jäljen (Emma leaves a trace) by the artist Kim Simonsson is an enormous white sculpture that also incorporates a digital dimension. As the name already suggests, Emma really does leave a trace – her handprint and the character featured in a series of videos will lead visitors to explore the art on display in EMMA and elsewhere in Tapiola.

Espoo is the city of sustainable growth. Other cultures are part of the fabric of everyday life here. There is huge demand in our area for new highly skilled jobs and new and innovative services. Together, they will act as a driver for a renewed sense of urban dynamism and provide a full range of employment opportunities for Espoo residents. The metro will play a key role in making this a reality.
The metro gets people moving. I've been so pleased to hear about the positive effect it is having on the recruitment prospects of a business based just a few hundred metres from the Urheilupuisto station. The business now attracts candidates from all over Helsinki, with many citing the excellent public transport provision as an inducement to applying.
Very soon, all that Espoo has to offer will be just a short metro ride away.

New Baldur's Gate on the Way?
Baldur's Gate is a PC classic and one of the first games ever released by Bioware. Originally released in 1998 and accompanied by a sequel, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, in 2000, the series came to an end with a final expansion pack in 2001. Based on Dungeons & Dragons rulesets, the games are cult classics that helped to spawn the Neverwinter Nights series and other Bioware titles.
Now, eleven years later, it seems a former Bioware employee may be bringing back the series. Trent Oster, an ex-Bioware developer has purchased the site BaldursGate.com and remade it with the eerie skull image above and a cryptic message, which seems to change periodically. Oster's new studio, Beamdog, is rumored to have something new in the works for the Baldur's Gate franchise. A complete edition of Baldur's Gate II is apparently coming to Steam at some point, but according to Trent, that isn't the Beamdog project: "We're not related to the Steam complete edition, I can tell you that much. Other than that, we're hoping to announce something soon."
I played Baldur's Gate way back in the early 2000s, and the game was tremendous for its time. Anyone else looking forward to a possible reboot of this classic series? Let us know in the comments!

Just as long as BioWare isn't involved, I'm all about it.
Awwww snap, another 100+ hours of my life to waste.
I was more of a Neverwinter Nights kinda teen.
I'd definitely be interested in a new Baldur's Gate. So long as they don't do what Bethesda did to Fallout (turn it into a first person game, reduce the importance of building a good character) I'll be happy.

The United States has entered a period of its history when there is considerable unhappiness with the current health care system but few clear, bold visions for a better one. There is slow but growing recognition that lack of universal coverage is only one of several problems, which also include unsustainable costs and poor quality of care. While health care providers, payers, opinion leaders and policy makers readily acknowledge the situation is urgent, there is little consensus around bold solutions.
Certainly the entrenched players in health care are resistant to such solutions, but we believe another reason for slow progress towards better health care—and better health—is a failure of vision. We need a radically different delivery system, to be sure, but we also need a radically different approach to the community determinants of health. Without a vision of the role that health care and community prevention should play in an integrated health system, we cannot agree upon a strategy for achieving it.
The Lown Institute is working toward the next health system by laying out a detailed vision for a radically better, uniquely American health system; identifying key chokepoints and pathways; and disseminate the proposed vision and potential pathways to policy leaders, public opinion makers, and community groups that can help lead a shift in public discourse.
A comprehensive strategy for achieving a universal, affordable, effective, and accountable health system, written by Lown Institute leaders Vikas Saini and Shannon Brownlee.
Our principal event is the Lown Annual Conference, a unique gathering of clinicians, patients,
policy makers, and activists that offers bold thinking, dynamic speakers, and an opportunity
for attendees to learn, share, and leave inspired to advocate for a better system.

Employee Spotlight: Koby Johnson
At Wiley Education Services, we talk a lot about our people. Institutional partners frequently cite the expertise and collaborative nature of our people as a key benefit to working with us. So what does a Wiley employee look like and how do they contribute to the workplace culture? In this Employee Spotlight series, we sit down with Wiley colleagues across our four offices to learn more about who they are and what they do – both in and outside of the workplace.
Get to know Koby Johnson, Senior Director of Admissions.
Koby began at Wiley in 2010 and rose through the ranks to become the Senior Director of Admissions. In this role, he oversees the Chicago office's entire student recruitment team for our university partners. Koby is responsible for ensuring that each student at Wiley's partner schools receives a high-quality, consistent recruitment experience. His goal is to guarantee that all students feel that they are supported by someone who works directly at the institution, and that all university partners feel that they receive quality student applicants.
Koby is a natural born salesperson but it might surprise some to learn that when he enrolled in college, his path was not in sales, business, or anything related – rather, he started school at University of San Francisco as an Art History major. He hoped to become a docent at an art museum but after several semesters he decided to change course. He instead set his sights on travelling the world and enlisted in the United States Army. As a member of the armed forces, Koby completed airborne training and was stationed in Fort Benning, Georgia. He would eventually be deployed to Mogadishu, Somalia to support humanitarian efforts. After his deployment he was assigned to Bamburg, Germany and ultimately finished his army career honorably at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
When Koby completed his service with the Army, he moved to Chicago and enrolled in DePaul University to complete his degree in Commerce. Koby dabbled in staffing and recruiting for several years after completing his degree and eventually ended up at Wiley (then called Deltak), where he was awarded the Wachman Scholarship and earned his Masters of Business Administration from the University of Scranton.
Koby lives in Naperville, Illinois with his wife, Theresa, and little girl, Lucy. Theresa and Koby were married last July in Cancun, Mexico and have been enjoying the newlywed life. Koby also has a son from a previous marriage – Koby Jr. – who is currently active duty in the United States Navy as a submariner aboard the USS ILLINOIS out of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Koby enjoys travelling and hopes to visit Italy in the near future. In addition to travelling, Koby likes to hit the gym, work on home improvement projects, and collect tools.

I want everyone to value yourself, knowledge, talent and discover what you have to offer. I look around and see people just going through the motions in this life but they are not really living. We are all so busy, on the go with frustration, so focused on our cell phones we don't take time to observe the world around us. You don't notice the stranger helping another, the smile/laughter from your children or sadness in their eyes when they go unseen, lost communication between couples that start to drift separate ways, unaware of a friend in need, a coworker struggling to be noticed, or lose sight of the beautiful scenery around you. Time flies by in a flash and before you know it's a new year and you are stuck in the same situation. It's time to change that! It's time to LIVE YOUR LIFE with happiness and joy. Be PRESENT in this world and take notice to what's going on around you and with others.
IT'S A NEW YEAR! One word for you CHANGE! Don't fear it, embrace it.
Assess yourself, who are you? Are you the person you dream of becoming? Are you successful? Do you have the dream job? Are you comfortable in your skin and body? Are you happy with your life? Are happy with your career? Are you happy in your relationship? Are you healthy? Do you know what your purpose is? What's your attitude? How do you respond to others? How do others respond to you? Have you lost yourself or your way? How will others remember you or will they??
It's time to figure these things out. YOU are the only one who can CHANGE these things to make yourself a better person and find these answers. Make your dreams become a reality. Take a look at each of those questions and answer them. If you can't answer in a positive response then it's time for change, RIGHT!
Who are you, who do you want to become and how can you get there. What needs to change? You can have the vision and believe in the secret but at the end of the day if you don't GET UP and take ACTION then nothing will change. You need to open your mind to endless possibilities and create a plan, it's never too late. Some can figure it out on their own, others need guidance. Reach out to a true friend, trainer, mentor, coach, image consultant, or maybe all of these can help you in specific areas.
Find your confidence! Find something that inspires and empowers you. Have a clear vision of your goals for motivation that brings you the drive and determination to get off your ass and reach success. You find motivation through your thoughts. These thoughts are what brings on that drive to succeed because you have goals to accomplish and you have a clear vision of your reward when it's reached.
How do you look and feel about yourself. Starting on the outside with your image can kick-start that confidence and self-worth you need to start making a difference. It's a PROVEN FACT that you are more confident and happy when you feel good and look great. Then you work on the inside to find self-love. We are all beautiful but you have to feel it and be comfortable in your own skin to shine! This is the year to find your best-self!
Ask yourself when situations arise: "what would my best-self do in this situation?" Find a positive attitude in life. Everyone has choices. Wake up in the morning and choose to be happy. Nobody wants to be around negative people.
This year I'm starting new myself. I'm making positive changes, choices, and I'm on a mission to bring you inspiration, empowerment, and motivation to find your best-self. I'm also going to give things away for FREE! Yep!
I will have a new blog coming out by the end of the month and my Facebook page is rising to a whole new level from image, style, confidence to success in business and how to get there. I'm going to teach how to get RESULTS. How to find yourself, your image, dress for success, power of color, shop smart, dress for your body shape, and also how to become successful with a positive attitude, motivation, tips on what works, interviews from other successful people, networking tips, leadership, training, gain self-worth, find confidence, and so much more. Stop procrastinating and create your own destiny.
Make this an AMAZING YEAR and reach your goals and then create more. It's your life change it and don't let others get in the way of your dreams.
Please share the love and visit my Facebook.com/poshimageconsulting page and Twitter.com/poshimage page and like and follow. If you do I will like your pages as well!
Thank you for reading my post.

High Intensity Interval Training (aka HIIT) alternates between high intensity exercise and short periods of rest, then repeats the sequence or circuit.
High intensity, short duration programs have been found to match or surpass results of moderate intensity, long duration workouts.
If you've been having a hard time squeezing exercise into your daily regimen, you may be the perfect candidate for High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). In fact, anyone can benefit from practicing HIIT training because it can be done in the privacy of your own home with little to no equipment. It's not only convenient and effective, but it can also help boost your metabolism and get you burning more calories during and post-workout.
HIIT workouts have been shown to burn more calories than traditional workouts, especially after the workout. The post-exercise period is called "EPOC", which stands for excess post-exercise oxygen consumption. This is about a 2-hour period after exercise when the body is using more energy to restore itself to pre-exercise levels.
The workout is known to wear your down fast, which is why a little goes a long way.
Initially it may sound intimidating, but there's no reason to fear this workout. You'll improve your strength, endurance, and even shed some pounds. HIIT training is high metabolic training where we're trying to push the body to 100 percent of it's maximal potential.
If this sounds like the workout for you (just remember it's all about giving it 100 percent each time!), then read on — The Get Fit Now Team has broken down how HIIT training works and its benefits:
- Burn more calories
- Metabolism stays high AFTER workout (EPOC)
- Fat burning increases during and post workout
- Complete an effective workout in less time
- Increases power
- Increases speed
- Increases endurance
Everyone can do it.
The beauty of HIIT training is that anyone can do it safely. HIIT training can be done even for 80-year-olds. They're not going to go as fast as I am, but their 100 percent is going to look completely different than mine or yours. The key is to listen to your breath during the workout because it is a clear indicator of the performance, If you're pushing yourself and you're out of breath, then you know that you're reaching higher training percentages than normal.
It can go on as long as you want.
The best part about HIIT training is that you can squeeze it in at any time of the day. Your session can last as long as 50 minutes, or as short as 10 to 20 minutes. "If I'm pressed for time and only have 20 minutes, I'm going to go hard. If I know my max push ups is 20, then I'll set a goal of 25," explains Melissa, our personal trainer at our Sandy Springs studio. In fact, HIIT training is all a mental game and your only competition is yourself.
Using your body weight is important.
A lot of people seek out sources in regards to training in general, when they have not yet mastered their own body as a tool. Simply by doing a routine with your own body weight, such as performing squats, jumping jacks, push-ups, high knees, burpees, and mountain climbers is enough to create a hard 5-minute workout.
Create a HIIT plan — and a good playlist.
HIIT training will work in your favor if you create a blueprint that has all the exercises you plan on doing in a block of time. Therefore, if you've jotted down that you will do 20 burpees in a minute, stay committed and complete ALL of them. Speed is also important and is what will get you to the high training zone you're working towards using 100 percent effort. Music can get you into that mental state of mind that keeps you focused. It doesn't matter if it's rap, rock, opera, or classical. It's whatever moves you. 🙂
Here is a sample of a HIIT workout that Get Fit Now Fitness Studio has put together….why not give it a try?!
We would love to hear from you and let us know if you have tried a HIIT workout, and if so, what did you think? We LOVE your feedback!

|Check out more of Erik Johansson's surrealist pictures!
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with.
~Stephen Stills
Oh, I want to write all the stories. I want to write them all the time and all at once! In December, I took stock of all my open projects. I've blogged about how important it is to finish. I believe that it is one of the keys to improving as a writer. Good stories need a beginning, a middle, and an end – and the process of creating a story has the same components.
Yet over last twelve months I managed to accrue several unfinished* projects.
When I get stuck, or my current draft starts feeling like a slog, that's when one of my other unfinished stories starts to look oh so much more appealing. Writing a good story isn't just mentally difficult, it's emotionally challenging. I believe writing a good story, one that's at the top of my game, should scare me. It's natural when things get tough for that little voice to start saying that maybe I should jump ship.
This is the danger of multiple projects. I'm certainly not going to say you shouldn't have a few irons in the fire. There are solid, legitimate reasons to let a certain piece of writing marinate for a time and that time can be spent on another project. But, it's important to examine your reasons when the going gets tough, because that's when you'll hear the siren call of an unfinished project. I know, that other project looks amazing! And suddenly you've got so many great ideas for it. That's what your journal is for, scribble down those ideas and get back to the project at hand; because it is crucial to commit emotionally to the story you're writing. It's scary. As a writer you know that it will cost something, but that's your job – to give a little piece of your heart away with every story.
The good news is that all those other stories vamping around in the unfinished pile will wait until you get to them – and when you do you will be fully present when it's their turn.
* I have finished things! I currently have ten stories in various slush piles, just no publication announcements yet. So the grind goes. The cure is to keep writing more and better material and to keep launching it out there.

OnePlus has introduced two very compelling smartphones this year, the OnePlus 2 and OnePlus X. The former is their flagship offering, while the latter is the even more affordable mid-ranger. Both of these phones required you to have an invite back when they launched, after which OnePlus decided to scratch the invite-only policy for the OnePlus 2. OnePlus X was invite-only (except on a specific day in a week) until recently, but that's not the case anymore. OnePlus has decided to give up the invite-only policy on the OnePlus X as well, at least in most regions. The invite policy is still in full effect in India though, but not for long, read on.
This China-based company went official on their website and said that the OnePlus X will become invite-free for Indian consumers starting November 5th. All the variants of the device are included in this offer, the Onyx Black, Champagne Gold, and the limited edition Ceramic models. These devices will be invite-free starting February 5th through Amazon India, for those of you who are interested. The OnePlus X Onyx Black and Champagne Gold variants are priced at Rs. 16,999 ($251), while the limited edition Ceramic variant can be purchased for Rs. 22,999 ($340) in India.
"The invite system has been crucial to letting us scale our operations and has given our fans a unique way to share our brand story with the people in their lives. It has been our constant endeavour to enhance the smartphone experience for all of you in taking risks by pushing ourselves and showing real improvements. That's why we're making the OnePlus X invite-free, forever, for a more cheerful buying experience," said OnePlus India in their official blog post. As far as specs are concerned, OnePlus X is definitely a well-specced device for the price. The OnePlus X features a 5-inch 1080p display, 3GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage (expandable). Qualcomm's Snapdragon 801 SoC fuels this phone, and a non-removable 2,525mAh battery is available on the inside. The 13-megapixel shooter is placed on the back of this device, and Android 5.1.1 Lollipop comes pre-installed here with OnePlus' Oxygen OS on top of it.

October 20, 2000
October 20, 2000 As the chilly autumn weather moves in, the Cherokee has gone topless. The Webboat crew has completely removed the cabin roof that housed the hidden dinghy davits. This makes way for the newly designed roof. Meanwhile, we're sure the Huckins is glad to have a shed roof over her head. (Despite the coolness, the weather has been sunny and still. Crossing the Pamlico Sound Sunday, it was so smooth you could see the reflection of clouds in the water. This calmness was called an "Irish hurricane" by old timey sailors, but around these parts it's "slick ca'm".)
More rotten wood has been detected. These shots are from the interior of the aft cabin. Overall, surprisingly little rot has been found for a boat that is over fifty years old.
Robbin and Jeanette are training their heat guns on the pilot house sides, removing several layers of old paint. They finished removing all unused blocking and remaining hardware/thru-hulls from the engine room. They scraped the bottom of the engine room again in preparation for steam cleaning.
Tom and John have begun cutting wood (white oak) to replace rotten frames. The first wood to be fitted is the sheer clamp in the bow/rope locker. Bryan is preparing to have fuel tanks made. The decision was made this week to break the front windows of the pilot house – instead of going straight across, the three-panel window will have a slight angle on the port and starboard windows.
Get a good look – this is the last you'll see of the current Cherokee paint job. Next week the painter, Leonard, will begin sanding the hull. Yesterday he mowed all around the site, because he likes to work in tidy surroundings.
J.M. Brown, lifelong fishermen from Marshallberg, dropped a bucket of mullets, spots, and bluefish off for the Webboat crew. J.M. remembers when Atlantic Beach was nothing but a sandy dirt road, and you couldn't drive past Salter Path. He used to ride the mail boat to Ocracoke when the island had no roads or cars. "Money changes everything," he remarked. "Outsiders have bought up so much land and taxes have gone so high the locals can hardly afford to live there anymore." J.M.'s son George is the crane operator who lifted the Webboat shed roof. His other son Julian is a commercial fisherman. His deceased uncle Claude Brown was the "last pioneer" of Marshallberg, who kept livestock on Brown's Island and fished his nets right up until the day he died. Seems to me, that pioneer spirit is alive and well… Signing off for now, Barbara "Fish Doctor" Blake

Missouri wasn�t the only school in town to feel the tremors of a conference shake-up this summer.
McKendree, one of Columbia College�s top rivals in the American Midwest Conference, announced this month that it will join the NCAA, highlighting a recent wave of regional schools to leave the NAIA for Division II membership in the more well-known association.
Within the past year, Lindenwood in St. Charles and William Jewell in Liberty have also been accepted as NCAA candidates.
Illinois-Springfield, which competed in the AMC through the 2008-09 school year, is a full NCAA member.
Yet don�t expect Columbia College, one of the nation�s most successful NAIA programs, to explore a similar move.
The Cougars� five athletic programs not only fall well short of the 10 required for NCAA membership, but Athletic Director Bob Burchard said the college is �comfortable� in the NAIA, an association of nearly 300 mostly small colleges. In the AMC, every school is either in Missouri or on the edge of a bordering state.
�We are very comfortable with the NAIA,� Burchard said. �It�s a historical affiliation for us, and it allows us to compete in a grouping of schools that we are very comfortable with in terms of travel � and how that impacts class attendance. And we feel like, with our ability to fund our sports at the top level, we can compete at the top 10 percent nationally.�
Other schools, however, embraced the cachet that comes with NCAA membership. McKendree Athletic Director Todd Reynolds said the school applied to the NCAA in part to �level the playing field.�
�We are surrounded by NCAA schools here,� he said of the Lebanon, Ill., college. �And we have lost students to them just because the school is in the NCAA. � It�s not so much moving away from the NAIA as it is moving to the NCAA.�
McKendree, which has 20 programs, will remain in the AMC for the next two years. The school will join the NCAA as a provisional member in 2012-13.
Park University in Kansas City replaced Illinois-Springfield in the AMC last season.
Burchard said the league is evaluating potential schools to replace McKendree.

- The Sox lost the July 12th game to the Yankees. Our dumpster fire bullpen served up a two-run homer to a rookie playing in his third ever major league game and the Sox lost 8-6.
- The Red Sox were swept by the Angels in a four game series
- The Angels outscored the Sox 22-4 in the four-game shellacking
- Eduardo Rodriguez, the rookie phenom, lasted 1.2 innings while surrendering 6 hits, 3 walks, 2 home runs, and 7 earned runs without recording a strikeout.
- Clay Buchholz is scheduled to meet with Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday. The Red Sox are calling the exam "precautionary", but this blogger is predicting that Andrews finds elbow ligament damage, Buchholz undergoes Tommy John surgery, Buchholz doesn't pitch again until late 2016 or early 2017, and Buchholz has thrown his last pitch as a Red Sox.
- The Red Sox are currently 9.0 games out of first place in the AL East and their playoff probability according to Baseball Prospectus is at 9.5%.
- The Red Sox players exhibited body language during last night's sweep-clenching beatdown that is usually reserved for people who have recently watched their beloved dog run over in the street in front of their own eyes.

Eulogy for the 2015 Red Sox
1 comment:
Here is my two cents worth:ReplyDelete
1&2. I am still believe Ben C. deserves to keep his job. But I am steadily sliding towards the let him go camp. The next week's dealings could make or break his job. Farrell, as far as I am concerned, should be fired now. He has not shown enough on or off the field to merit keeping. If Ben C. really believes Farrell is part of the solution as he said in Houston to reporters, then Ben should be fired as well.
3. I think the Sox can trade both Napoli and Victorino for a "useful" player. Nap certainly seems to be trying to boost his value in recent days. They both need to traded or DFA'd by Aug.1 along with Koji, De Aza, Nava, Ogando, Breslow, and Ross. In addition the Sox should check the potential trade return on Tazawa, Miley, and Hanigan.
4. I personally am not against trading Pedroia in the right deal, but I think that would be an off season project. But I would contact the contenders needing a 2B (KC, LAA, and whoever else) and shop Brock Holt. This would be selling high (what will you trade us for an All-Star??) and very likely the available player you could get the best arms for.
5. There is ZERO chance of Ortiz being traded.
6. The bright light to 2015 will be the emergence of Bogaerts and Betts and the arrivals of Blake Swihart and Eduardo Rodriguez. By Aug. 1 or sooner they need to be joined by JBJ, Castillo, Brian Johnson (what in the hell are doing with him?), Henry Owens, Pat Light, Matt Barnes, Travis Shaw, and maybe Garin Cecchini. let's find out who can help going forward.

A Children's Supplement and Teacher's Resource for the
Historical Fiction Series by Susan E. Kirby
|"A family,
like a quilt, can be pieced together in many ways. And a quilt, like a
family, is rich with stories. Lacey's great-grandmother has a trunkful
of family quilts and stories she loves to share with Lacey. And the stories
the old quilts tell help Lacey understand not only the generations that
have come before her, but her own family as well."
The children's book series, American Quilts, was written by Illinois author Susan Kirby. She uses quilts as the theme of the four books in the series. One doesn't have to be a quilter to enjoy the books. They are centered around the family history of Lacey Tandy. Each book begins in the present day with Lacey and her great-grandmother. The reader is quickly sent back in time as Gram Jennie tells the stories of Lacey's family. Although fictitious, the stories are surrounded by historical facts.
This website was put together as a supplement and resource for the books. Follow the links to the left to find information on Mrs. Kirby, each of the books, games and educational activities, and more. Teachers can also find links to the Illinois Learning Standards as well as other useful links.
American Quilts is published by Aladdin Paperbacks of Simon & Schuster.

text: Big Mouth Direct, Inc. offers an exciting program to area developers. An area developer agrees with a franchisor to open a certain number of units by a set date in a specified, exclusive territory. The area developer pays a development fee up front for this exclusivity, and a franchise fee each time they open a unit. They will benefit from financial incentives as they open additional units, enjoying reduced fees in exchange for building the brand successfully in their territory.Area developers can also recruit and train franchisees to launch new units in their territory. The area developer receives a percentage of the franchise fee for each new unit sold to a franchisee, along with a percentage of the ongoing royalty fee. An area development agreement with Big Mouth Direct may be attractive and suited to an individual or company looking for a significant investment opportunity to which they can bring their strong management experience, proven track record and, often, knowledge of the industry concerned. Big Mouth Direct, Inc. is motivated to use the area development model as its main method of expansion wherever possible because it prefers to (a) deal with one entity operating several units and (b) allocate the recruitment and support of franchisees to experienced representatives who are often more familiar with the territory than the Big Mouth Direct Inc. because they already do business there. Big Mouth Direct Inc believes that having the right area developers in place can greatly accelerate the growth of its franchise system.

When you educate a girl, you educate a nation.
When you give opportunities to a girl to evolve to something higher than her current state, she inevitably raises everyone around her to that new standard.
Her man or any potential male out there wanting her attention has to raise their standard to meet hers.Same for other women in her life, be it girlfriends, aunties, mothers. And when she has her own family she raises them up to the standard she has been exposed to. She has become a role model.
Change happens just like that – one female at a time and when more women get an education, it totally lifts up our game.
If you have a daughter,niece, granddaughter – champion her education and personal development. Your investment will not be wasted.

Our Stories
Experiences at first sexual encounter influence risk of HIV and gender-based violence in teenaged and young women in Kenya, study finds
Study finds that those who have a first sexual encounter that is forced are four times more likely to experience gender-based violence later in life
Toronto, August 20, 2018
By Madison Thakore
Dr. Sharmistha Mishra
Adolescent girls and young women in Mombasa, Kenya are more likely to experience higher risks of HIV and gender-based violence when they are involved with sex work venues or have sexual experiences at a young age, suggests a study co-led by St. Michael's Hospital and the University of Manitoba in Canada.
Published in the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes (JAIDS), the research suggests that the conditions of a first sexual encounter, such as a woman's age, the man's age, use of condoms, and whether or not the encounter is consensual can be indicators of future risk of HIV infection and gender-based violence.
The research team found that adolescent girls and young women in Mombasa, Kenya, who are forced or coerced in their first sexual experience, are four to five times more likely to face ongoing gender-based violence throughout their lifetime. This research also showed that one in four participants experience gender-based violence after their first sexual experience, with 37.5 per cent prevalence amongst those involved in sex work.
Dr. Sharmistha Mishra, a scientist at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute of St. Michael's Hospital and one of the study's lead authors, and her team found that women who experienced their first sexual encounter before the age of 15 were two times more likely to be at risk of HIV acquisition. This was especially prevalent for those in the sex work industry and those who frequented sex work venues.
"We wanted to understand early risk and vulnerabilities for HIV because many prevention programs for key populations reach young sex workers several years after they have already experienced high-risk encounters," Dr. Mishra said. "There are vulnerabilities that appear in the first few years of becoming sexually active and entering sex work more formally."
The study's results were drawn from a cross-sectional biological and behavioural survey conducted among sexually active adolescent girls and young women in Mombasa, Kenya. Community organizations, including past and current female sex workers working with the International Centre for Reproductive Health Kenya, identified participants at local sex work hotspots who then participated in interviews and HIV testing. Participants were referred to HIV prevention and care programs in Mombasa.
"Global health partnerships are strongest when there is a generation of new knowledge that informs programs led on the ground," said Dr. Mishra, speaking of this work's partnership between St. Michael's Hospital, the University of Toronto, the University of Manitoba, and the National AIDS and STI Control Programme in Kenya.
This research is part of a multi-component study designed to count how many young women are involved in sex work in Mombasa, Kenya; measure early HIV risks through a representative survey; and conduct mathematical modelling to understand the impact of not accounting for the early risk many young women face.
"We've identified a need to provide HIV prevention and treatment plans for adolescent girls and young women at an earlier age," Dr. Marissa Becker, associate professor at the University of Manitoba and co-lead of the study. "We hope the findings of this research can assist HIV prevention programs to adapt their strategies to reach vulnerable young women and teenaged girls at a younger age and intervene on risks early on."
Dr. Becker, Dr. Mishra and their team are continuing to conduct programmatic and mathematical modeling studies in this area, with a hope to implement and evaluate new programs and interventions. They are also looking at how their findings in Kenya are applicable to other countries.
This research was funded by an operating grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
This paper is an example of how St. Michael's Hospital is making Ontario Healthier, Wealthier, Smarter.

Another great post. Thanks, A.M.. This shows the DECEPTIVE character of this base Schwartze Muslim who PRETENDS to be religious, but is nothing but SCUM ! DS
I've received numerous comments about BHMO's "private note to the Lord" at the Western Wall.
This appears to be the "last word" on the matter from a reputable Middle East News source.
PLEASE FORWARD to those who admire BHMO's phoney "humble sincerity."
(I wonder whether the fawning, pro-Obama, American Press will dare print this?) A.M.
IRIS.Org.Il -- 7/29/08
OBAMA'S "PRIVATE" NOTE to GODWAS ACTUALLY A MEDIA STUNT!On Sunday I detailed to one friend and newspapercolumnist how I was nearly certain that the private,humble, pious note of Barack Obama to God was a cynicalpublicity stunt. I didn't publish it here because I,too, am guilty of trying to appear "moderate" andmaintain my credibility. I also thought that furtherpublicizing the story would be counterproductive, byrepeating the chillul Hashem [blasphemous defamation]
that a Jewish student and an Israeli newspaper allegedlyviolated Obama's sacred privacy.My reasoning was simple: who leaves a private note toGod trailed by a phalanx of people, on King David Hotelstationery? That makes it identifiable as genuinely histo anyone skeptical of the note's authenticity.Here is the official statement to that effect by thenewspaper, Maariv:Obama's note was published in Maariv and otherinternational publications following his (Obama's)authorization to make the content of the note public.Obama submitted a copy of the note to media outletswhen he left his hotel in Jerusalem.What is despicable is that Obama allowed a "yeshivastudent" and an Israeli newspaper to be painted asvillains for days in the international media ratherthan admitting that he himself encouraged itspublication.For months there have been credible stories of howObama has thrown a parade of people close to him underthe bus, including his own grandmother ("a typicalwhite person" with fear of blacks).Now we see that Obama can't even have talk to Godwithout using Him for a publicity stunt.Here is the article about the incident prior to theconcrete confirmation from Maariv:What initially seemed to be a journalistic scoop ofdubious moral propriety now seems to be a case of anIsraeli paper being played by the Barack Obamacampaign. Maariv, the second most popular newspaperin Israel, was roundly criticized for publishing thenote Obama left in the Kotel. But now a Maarivspokesperson says that publication of the note waspre-approved for international publication by theObama campaign, leading to the conclusion that the"private" prayer was intentionally leaked for publicconsumption...If the Maariv statement about pre-approval ofpublication of the note is true, it would mean thatthe Obama campaign had managed the event brilliantly,if deceptively, getting the double benefit ofappearing to be victimized by the invasive Israelipress and prayer-thieving Jew while at the same timeleaking out his humble Christian plea to the Lord.Already by the weekend, a (relatively) slick videoappeared on YouTube that blended Obama's Western Wallprayer with various church scenes, crosses aplenty,a dove of peace, and a soundtrack based on AmazingGrace.The video closes with a "vote" button and aninvitation to visit the official campaign website.Revelation of this latest Obama collaboration withthe media might detract a bit from the perceivedsincerity of the prayer and strike some as anespecially cynical use of the Kotel [Western Wall]
and an obstensibly private prayer to the Deity as acampaign prop.Remember, the complete stories and much more can befound by visiting the IRIS blog at:

Thriftiness, I'm convinced, lends even the most mediocre fare a flavorful radiance that can only be achieved by repurposing formerly wilting produce. The satisfaction of resourcefully using otherwise neglected ingredients seems to tuck in a particular palatable delight. However, I say this only so far as my experiments in the world of sugared confections go. I have a decidedly less-stellar performance record of savory culinary adaptations in the kitchen (read: pantry stir-fries gone awry). But I was truly ecstatic over my first batch of homemade marmalade, finally making use of a bag of delicious (but seemingly bottomless) Japanese grapefruits given to me by a good friend.
Although I have never envisioned myself as a jam-maker or marmalade brewer (?), thanks to the inspiration from a favorite blogger (thank you She Who Eats) and a Saturday afternoon to while away while my laundry dried outside in the intermittent sunshine, I felt emboldened to give marmalade-making a go.

Take to Thanksgiving Day with Cute Digital Crafts in PowerPoint and Video
Today comes to Thursday, Thanksgiving Day 2009. The day brings us fun games to play, cool crafts to create, pretty parties to celebrate, delicious dinners to enjoy and great parades to participate. All such amazing activities are worth a special story to record in popular PowerPoint or video. Thanks to Internet and multimedia software like PowerPoint and PPT2Video, we can share our stories of Thanksgiving without boundary.
Before making a story video of thanks, let's track back to some fun facts of Thanksgiving.
The most familiar story of the first Thanksgiving took place in Plymouth Colony, in present-day Massachusetts, in 1621. More than 200 years later, President Abraham Lincoln declared the final Thursday in November as a national day of thanksgiving. Congress finally made Thanksgiving Day an official national holiday in 1941.
Sarah Josepha Hale, the enormously influential magazine editor and author who waged a tireless campaign to make Thanksgiving a national holiday in the mid-19th century, was also the author of the classic nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
Myth 1: The first Thanksgiving was in 1621 and the pilgrims celebrated it every year thereafter.
Myth 2: The original Thanksgiving feast took place on the fourth Thursday of November.
Myth 3: The pilgrims wore only black and white clothing. They had buckles on their hats, garments, and shoes.
Myth 4: The pilgrims brought furniture with them on the Mayflower.
Myth 5: The Mayflower was headed for Virginia, but due to a navigational mistake it ended up in Cape Cod Massachusetts.

Have you wished that your local thyroid doctor understood diet and natural medicine? You now have a new option in your area.
Since 1996, Integrative Health has provided safe, effective, and natural solutions for people with thyroid disease. As of May 2019, we are offering our comprehensive care through telemedicine.
"Dr. Roz has been the best thing to happen to me in a long time. I was told my thyroid levels were "normal" yet I felt awful. Upon seeing my thyroid scores, Dr. Roz confirmed my levels were off and immediately put me on the path to recovery. Throughout the whole process I was listened to and never felt like I was going at this alone. My whole outlook on life has changed thanks to Dr. Roz." –Francis G
You can get help today with:
"Dr. Raquel is heaven sent. She has been wonderful. I have been suffering from adrenal and thyroid issues for years and my PCP has not been receptive to my concerns. I always knew there was something wrong but could not put my finger on it. Dr. Raquel put me on a simple plan of recovery, targeting my thyroid. I have never had so much energy or felt so good." –Sarah
Our doctors have training in Naturopathic Endocrinology, general practice, and functional medicine. Our practice is focused exclusively on thyroid disease. We treat:
"I was lost on what to do with my health. I had seen dozens of doctors. I went to see Dr Ruiz with reserved skepticism. I was blown away. He has been the most knowledgeable thyroid doctor I have seen. Going forward, I will only entrust my care with Dr. Ruiz." –Kacie E
Telemedicine makes it easy. Think of it as a housecall. Here is how it works:

text: At last Autumn is properly here, the wind is whistling through the cracks in the windows and through the trees. The rain pat, pat patting against the glass, warm mugs of tea and woolly jumpers topped off with a good Horror. Now I don't know about any of you but the Autumn months make me yearn for Horror novels, walking past the park when the suns going down at 7pm and the leaves are blowing in the wind and the swings too its so eerie I just want to run home and read a good scary story. I thought I'd share a few of my favourite horrors with you to help you through to Halloween. Personally I love Halloween the horror channels are full and I have an excuse to dress up and live off Toffee apples! I've always loved Halloween every since I was a child, I used to love being terrified beyond belief before I went to bed and I'd sleep with the light on so none of the ghosts or vampires could get me.
