Top 5 tips on building habits/
In the newsletter over the last couple of weeks, we have been talking about good daily habits and how they can, well, make life better. Here's my top five tips on building great habits:
1. Think about who you want to be. Do you want to be fitter, healthier and less tired? Grab a habit. Why do you want to be like this? To enjoy life more? To see more of your friends and family? Defining these things NOW will help you keep the right focus when the habit gets hard. Keep it in mind.
2. Do some research on the best steps to take to become that person and what the good habits to get into are. Do you want to sleep better? Know your stuff. This is a great article advising about bedtime habits and what to eat and drinks. If you find a lot of advice, try one or two things. Keeping your bedtime and rising time the same, eating three meals a day and physically wear yourself out during the day is a pretty good start.
3. Work out how you're get these changes happening in your life. Create a habit that you can achieve in a small way for a certain period of time. Floss once to start with. Then twice in two days. Then work up to a week. Give yourself a trigger. Make it the same time every day. Put the floss in a place where you will see it and put a big note up to remind yourself WHY you're doing this. Remember why you wanted to put in place that habit in the first place. See 1 above.
4. Adjust adjust adjust. Make your habits work for your own routine. Can't ditch the coffee but want to drink more water? Get your water habit going first and reward yourself with the coffee as a special treat. Can you find the 'trip up' point when you deviate to get the coffee? Is the coffee shop on the way to work? Check out the map to find an alternative route and take that once a week - without the coffee. Build up to twice a week and then three times. Eventually you can walk that way without the coffee every day. Remember the benefits and avoid the trip ups.
5. Be kind to yourself - you are going to fail. Everyone does. It's just getting used to the fact that after you fail you can start again and you realise that failing doesn't mean you're a failure. And the shorter the time between failing and starting again, the more likely it is becoming a habit.

Move to new campus 75 percent complete
Financial District, NEW YORK– The move to the new campus is about 75 percent complete, according to Chief Executive Officer Duanne Moeller. Facilities staff plan to complete the campus move and renovation one week before freshmen arrive for orientation Aug. 25.
So far, 52 Broadway is in "good shape," Moeller said.
The first phase of the move ended June 11, and Moeller handed the keys to the Lower Lobby over to Empire State Building staff June 15. Facilities Manager Rich Switzer led Sher-Del Transfer moving company and the facilities and IT departments to pack and transfer furniture, books and other supplies from the Lower Lobby to 52 Broadway.
Phase two, moving the student lounge, begins July 9, and phase three, moving the 15th floor and Admissions will begin in August.
Fresh paint and new carpet are transforming the sixth floor into faculty offices. Some faculty members are already jockeying for their preferred office spaces.
The college's lease with the ESB terminates at the end of September. Admissions, Advancement and President D'Souza's offices will be the last to leave the ESB in mid-August.
Many students and staff worked more than 12 hours per day for the week of phase one and expect long hours during phase two as well.
Facilities Associate Chad Abbott ('13) did not seem to mind.
"Getting to see the college come together piece by piece is such a cool experience that I am so blessed to have," he said. "It's a great feeling to be the boots on the ground pulling everything together."
Moeller is grateful King's has a "great group of summer students" working.
"They've just been integral to the whole move," he said. "We couldn't have done it without them."
The transition completion date is Aug. 16, before Statesmanship Institute Training for House leadership teams.
Last week the occupants on the fifth floor, formerly a public high school, left their classrooms.
Construction has begun in the ground-floor lobby as permits and plans are gradually approved. Ideally, the lobby will be completed by Aug. 15.
The comparatively larger library is set up and holds the same books, shelves and 10 desktop computers from the Lower Lobby library. The new media lab will offer eight additional computers for the growing student body.
Although there is no formal student lounge in the plans, Student Body President Samuel Tran ('14) says that even with a less centralized hangout space, the ground floor student lounge, a quiet lounge by the library and the café will encourage social gatherings.
"As the school establishes itself at 52 Broadway, we should definitely keep student space on campus a priority," Tran said. "In the meantime, the city is our campus and we have great places to hang out."
Director of Student Organizations A.J. Aran ('14) added, "The Financial District is filled with places to meet recreationally—such a better area than Midtown."
Aran also confirmed Student Organizations will have a designated space on campus.
The college will lease 330 Fifth Avenue until January but is currently trying to sublet it. Socrates in the City will no longer share space with King's.
Moeller said the discovery of the new location was timely, explaining that the college was unsure of its next move after losing its lease at the end of January.
"It's absolutely amazing that in six months we found a new space, negotiated the deal, closed the deal and have moved in," he said. "I want to thank God because in New York City, that's a total miracle."
Moeller declined to comment on the total cost of the move.

12th October 1984
Edinburgh Playhouse
So where did it all go wrong for Echo & the Bunneymen? Back in 1986 they appeared to have the world at their feet, but two short years later they had split up amid poor sales, political infighting and a struggle to find a drummer.
Formed in Liverpool in 1978, the band had "Paid their Dues" over the following years, building up a sizeable, loyal following with their gruelling gig schedule. Their debut album Crocodiles, with its Velvets/Doors/New Wave musical leanings and darkly oppressive lyrics had been warmly received by both the press and public.
The band had ridden the wobble caused by the rather less accessible second album, before attaining mainstream success with their 1983 collection Porcupine and its concurrent singles (Back of Love, The Cutter, Never Stop); all three of which broke into the top 20. 1984 brought their masterwork, Ocean Rain and a sell-out UK tour. The band consolidated these successes with the Gold-record garnering compilation Songs to Learn and Sing; a new recording from this collection Bring on the Dancing Horses providing the lads with their seventh consecutive top 30 placing.
And then it all started to go more than a little awry. The band rather unwisely chose to take a year off, and found it extremely difficult to pick up the baton when they returned to work – although the cause was hardly helped by drummer Pete de Freitas' ongoing substance abuse issues. When they finally succeeded in cobbling together a new album, simply called Echo & The Bunneymen, it was an overproduced mess which, not surprisingly, failed to sell in anything like the numbers of its predecessors.
In 1988 lead singer Ian McCulloch quit the band, shortly before de Freitas lost his life in a motorcycle accident, and the band were effectively no more. Although, as is often the case, there were multifarious reformations and reincarnations over the years – each more derisible than the last.
So – back to my original question. Where did it all go wrong? Well I have a theory, (which is Mine, and belongs to Me), that Echo and the Bunneymen's inexorable decline began around 9PM on Friday October 12th 1984, when Ian McCulloch attempted to knee one of their fans in the nuts.
The gig that evening had begun promisingly with some odd taped Gregorian chanting type stuff leading into a fine version of Nocturnal Me. An excellent My Kingdom followed, with de Freitas' drumming propelling the thing along sublimely.
We had just enjoyed the atmospheric delights of Ocean Rain and The Killing Moon, when the band attempted to cranked up the atmosphere a touch more with The Cutter. But just as McCulloch was about to launch into the chorus a fan jumped onstage, grabbed the mike and bellowed "Spare Us The Cutter", before being swiftly huckled offstage by a roadie. At which point McCulloch, clearly pissed off at being interrupted, calculatingly aimed a knee at the lad's groin. What got me was McCulloch had not done this as the guy approached him, nor when he had the mike grabbed from him, but only once the interloper was securely half-nelsoned by the burly roadie. And I remember thinking "What a cowardly thing to do".
The band restarted the song, and everyone carried on as if nothing had happened. But I could not forget that sly little attempt to hurt the stage invader – not in self-defence, but a calculated attempt to punish. And I sometimes wonder if I was not the only chap in the hall who came away from proceedings more than a little disillusioned with E&TB, or to be more precise Mr McCulloch. And pondering whether what went on was perhaps an indication of a growing arrogance and complacency within the band.
After the incident the rest of the gig, for me anyway, just seemed a bit flat, even though roof-raising renditions of Crocodiles and Over The Wall soon followed. There was, rather typically for EaTB perhaps, no place in the set for hit singles Silver, Never Stop or Back of Love, although they did find space for a brace of b sides: Angels and Devils and Do It Clean.
But it was the knee/scrotum interface incident which is my lasting memory from the evening.

The Deterioration of a Raging Bull/
In the 1920s, German Expressionism films communicated the inner emotions and conflicts of characters with lighting and the design of sets. The visual design of these films expressed the inner thoughts of characters through minimal dialogue.
Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull (1980) is a biopic centering on boxing champion Jake La Motta (Robert De Niro) and his self-destructive behavior, which ultimately destroys both his personal and professional life. The film's use of stylized cinematography, lighting, and set design provide an in-depth understanding of Jake La Motta and his deterioration as a character. These techniques also demonstrate the internal life of its characters rather than their external façade. The design of the sets and its established atmosphere also express Jake La Motta's diminishing stature and emphasize his obscure characteristics.
The use of black and white in the film allows for a focus on character. The lack of color causes the role of blood to be downplayed because its popping reds are never shown. This allows other parts of the visual design, including light and sets, to further communicate emotions and conflicts. In the course of the film, color makes its way into a single scene, a home video montage sequence of the title character's life outside of boxing with his family, along with his marriage to Vickie (Cathy Moriarty). This sequence provides a stark visual contrast from the rest of the film and exhibits realism in comparison to expressionism.
The choice of lighting in the film also allows a look inside the character's psyche to better understand his mental state. In the third act of the film, Jake La Motta's insecurities and jealousy drive him to physically harm his wife and brother, Joey (Joe Pesci). In a scene that follows, we see Jake La Motta sitting in front of a broken television. The television does not have a signal and is full of static and noise. This parallels his anger and frustration as he sits in darkness. The light from the television casts harsh shadows on his bruised face, which highlights his internal conflicts. The deep shadows suggest a darker personality and reveal the animal within him. The harsh shadows also represent his violent behavior and provide suggestions of guilt and regret as he sits in isolation. Jake La Motta's withdrawal from the outside world to the confines of his living room in complete darkness also demonstrates his unwillingness to overcome his madness; even when his rage is not being physically displayed on his family or during his fights, he conceals the fury within him. The lighting reflects his masked aggression which is buried within his soul. These are the characteristics and behavior traits that ultimately cause Jake La Motta's downfall.
In the course of the film, both inside and outside of the ring, Jake La Motta is an animal. In his personal life, his anger causes him to lash out at his family. In his jail cell following his arrest, the lighting patterns illuminate certain parts of the room. This creates a zigzag effect on the screen, which causes a portion of the cell to be filled with light whereas the rest is in complete darkness. This establishes a sense of repulsion within the room and creates a bleak tone. Jake La Motta angrily beats his fits and head onto the wall then sits in agony. Jake La Motta thus "beats himself up" over his mistakes as the beast within him takes control. The lighting of the jail cell establishes the essential atmosphere to demonstrate his diminishment at the end of his career. In this scene, he is caged behind bars and attempts to release his aggression through physical harm. This also resembles his professional life and his confinement to the boxing ring where his physical strength was his sole escape. In other words, he is in the darkest point in his life and through his self-destructive behavior, he has reached complete isolation.
These inner conflicts are also paralleled through the set design and its connection to his life inside the ring. Martin Scorsese's frequent use of Catholic imagery is seen clearly throughout the film. Jake La Motta takes Vickie to his father's apartment after their first meeting. The kitchen, living room and bedroom consist of countless references to Catholicism, through the display of crosses and hangings on the wall of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. Their sexual scenes in the bedroom are also intercut between two fights, both against Sugar Ray Robinson in 1943. These references provide suggestions of guilt, sin and atonement for him as his marriage fails due to his affair and as his career worsens at the hands of Sugar Ray Robinson in the ring. The juxtaposition of fighting with love making also suggests his inability to differentiate between the two. Vickie ultimately becomes his life partner and Sugar Ray Robinson becomes a frequent rival of Jake La Motta's.
Jake La Motta's deterioration both in his life and career becomes evident during his fight against Tony Janiro. Vickie's innocent remark when she claims that his rival is "good looking" causes him to question his wife's loyalty. In the fight between Tony Janiro and Jake La Motta, the boxing ring is relatively wider. This allows us to understand the condition of his behavior. The width of the ring allows Jake La Motta to demonstrate his wrath and aggressively move from one end to the other and pin his opponent. This maximizes the movement area and therefore emphasizes the action. The use of slow motion showcases his brutality, a behavior carried over from his personal life with his wife. The camera is also placed at a slightly lower angle, which emphasizes his domineering size. The use of close-ups adds intensity to the fighting techniques and shows his ferocity. The viciousness of the fight allows us to experience how his personal affairs from his family began causing his self-deterioration. Jake La Motta's insecurities over his wife had resulted in him taking out his anger on a fighter, and as a result, being incapable of finding balance between his career and personal life.
The visual design of Jake La Motta's final fight against Sugar Ray Robinson also demonstrates his deterioration inside the ring. In their final meeting, the overall atmosphere during this particular fight is much more intense. The extensive use of slow motion editing allows us to feel the alienation within the ring. The fighters are also surrounded in dense smoke and the audience is almost never visible. This allows us to focus on the fighters, which feel separated from reality. This also adds to the notion of a jungle-like atmosphere within the ring. The impact of each punch is felt through the distortion in the sound, creating the impression that Jake La Motta is seriously injured. The noise of the audience is also muffled resembling his state of consciousness. In fact, even the cameras photographing the action appear louder and much more intensified, along with the brutal punches which are accompanied by animal shrieks. Jake La Motta's beaten face becomes unrecognizable over the course of the fight. These elements of visual design create a distinct atmosphere which enhances the cruelty and intensity of the fight.
In this fight, his diminishing stature is also emphasized by the larger ring size and choice of camera. In his earlier fights, he was placed in a smaller ring which accentuated his physical size and strength. This larger boxing ring creates the impression that is role is decreasing and suggestions the deterioration of his strength. This also ties into his overwhelming feelings of insecurity, jealousy and inferiority that plague him throughout the rest of the film. These feelings ultimately alienate him from everyone, including his wife and brother. In the final series of brutal punches, we are able to get a glimpse of the domineering Sugar Ray Robinson. The camera focuses on him and tilts down, effectively lighting him from behind, thus making him appear larger and more separated from the background. This, in turn, causes a monstrous display of the victorious Sugar Ray Robinson. This lower angle emphasizes his position over Jake La Motta. Sugar Ray Robinson is intercut between images of his opponent, resting on the rope and his appearance in comparison to the diminishing Jake La Motta draws attention to his physical size. The camera placement and expressionism in this sequence allows us to feel the burden Jake La Motta feels during the match. In addition, through Jake La Motta's subjective perspective, we also get a distorted view of reality that reflects his mind state. The blurry images and distorted sound are accompanied with the feeling that the boxing ring is off balance. This allows us to feel him weakening, both physically and emotionally.
It's through Expressionism techniques that Martin Scorsese emphasizes Jake La Motta's deterioration both inside and outside the ring in Raging Bull. The choice of lighting helps emphasize the hidden characteristics in the personality that emotionally disturbed the title character. The visual design of the fights helps create an atmosphere that shows us his diminishment over the course of the film. These techniques help focus on the inner conflicts rather than the outward appearance of the character. Jake La Motta ultimately had to defend himself against his inner demons.

I heard someone ask if there was more to life than this. I say it is what we make it. As people choose to move out of fear and living a more authentic life I believe this question will be asked less and less.
It is through clearing/healing our fears, connecting with the Divine, ourselves and others that we can move into seeing the magical mysteries, sacred moments and miracles.
There are numerous activities that people could involve themselves in if they could only see them. The problem is they are mired down in the illusion of "I can't, I won't, It isn't possible, I will never, They will never" and on and on.
If they could just stop for a moment, turn on fun music and dance out of their body all the yuck they are feeling then dance into their body their new intention of "Living, loving, and being who they really are, their authentic self." It would create a shift of I am enough, I am the one I have been waiting for, I can do anything I really desire to do, the possibilities are endless.
Movement is key. We have to start moving our bodies. Our bodies are meant to move and the more we move with intention the more we will see the positive shift that a lot of people are looking for bringing back the sacredness of life.
Turn on your favorite music and dance your way into a more fulfilling life.

First, let's focus on what matters.
How do we know if public transportation service is getting better?
We know we need better public transit service, but it's not always clear which investments will deliver results for riders.
To know if our public transportation system is working for us, we have to decide what elements make up good service. The Transportation Alliance recently reviewed research and survey data, including past reports published by the Transportation Alliance, to identify Five Basics of great public transportation service.
By focusing on the Five Basics, we can get comprehensive, relevant, and useful view of how well our system is serving riders.
Next, let's put data to work.
Once we decide what elements are important, we need to harness data to better understand them.
In Baltimore, we lag behind other regions in our use of data and smart tech to evaluate transportation system performance. A great example is the state of our system-wide real-time bus arrival data. Though MTA was originally a pioneer in this area of bus technology, we need a complete overhaul of the real-time arrival hardware on MTA buses. Meanwhile, in many other cities, accurate real-time data has been available for many years.
Better data makes better results possible, but only if we commit to continuous improvement.
Data isn't enough by itself. We need a public commitment to continuous improvement in public transportation service, in terms of the technology we use, the analytics and metrics we measure, and the policies and practices that result in a better everyday riding experience.
Open and accessible data brings stakeholders to the table.
Want to build public trust and support? Want to activate an engaged community of advocates to solve challenges? Transportation departments and agencies should make their data open and accessible to the public, including collaborating where it is helpful to provide better quality data.
Then, let's monitor improvement.
We can use visual dashboards to monitor improvement and facilitate understanding among our community of transportation stakeholders.
In business and civic life, visual dashboards are used to communicate complex information at a glance in a visually pleasing way. Recently, more transit agencies have begun to use dashboards to make critical data easily accessible to transportation stakeholders.
Examples include the MTA Service Checker and MTA Subway Performance Metrics Dashboard (NYC), WMATA Scorecard (DC), MBTA Back on Track (Boston), MuniForward (San Fransisco), TriMet Performance Dashboard (Portland), Move Seattle Dashboard (Seattle), Valley Metro Performance Dashboard (Phoenix), and the Chicago RTA Performance Dashboard.
Visual dashboards for transit agency data have also been created by advocates and professionals outside of the transit agency, including the NYC Bus Profile Dashboard and MetroHero (DC).
In Maryland, the MTA has its own Performance Improvement page with dashboard-style functionality. However, the data displayed is very limited, not rider-focused, and is not open and accessible.
See TransitCenter's article on characteristics of good dashboards for transit performance.
