Welcome to the Ingalls Library & Museum Archives!
Salvador Dali and Atelier 17
Submitted by Leslie Cade on
The Print Club of Cleveland, the oldest museum affiliate group in the nation, has every year since 1924 issued an annual print exclusively for its members. After admiring a recent work by Dali – The Sleep of Nautilus (1938) made for the Steuben Glass Works – the club asked the artist to submit proposal drawings based on mythological themes for their 1945 print. Dali's first proposal, Rapt d'Afrique, was rejected as being too sensational.

Book Digitization at the Ingalls Library
Submitted by Susan Hernandez on
In addition to providing us with Facebook, Instagram, and cat videos galore, the digital revolution has allowed libraries and cultural institutions across the world to make their holdings available online.

Emery May Holden Norweb, Grande Dame
Submitted by Kaitlin Schulz on
Emery May Holden Norweb, who was known as a grande dame of Cleveland, was one of the most influential women in the history of the Cleveland Museum of Art. She was born on November 30, 1895 in Salt Lake City. Her grandfather, Liberty Holden, was the owner of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and her father was Albert Holden, a successful mining engineer. At the start of the First World War, Emery was driving ambulances and working in hospitals in France, and it was during this time that she married R. Henry Norweb. R. Henry Norweb was a United States diplomat, so throughout the couple's marriage they lived in numerous places around the world, including Tokyo, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, Portugal, and Cuba.

Celebrating Ohio winter holidays wouldn't be the same without snow, so what better image to share in December than Yamamoto Shōun's delightful Children Playing: Snowman? Look at these adorable children, rolling snow, blowing on their fingers, and creating their snowman with big eyes and a stick mouth! The baby perched shoulder high dangles a toy, as two others behind him roll a giant ball of snow into shape. The Japanese patterns on their clothing really catch the viewer's eye, as do the expressions on their faces.

Fall Semester, September 1 - November 30
Why do small groups exist?
Small groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren't always easy to find. That's why small groups exist—to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you.
Why should I join a small group?
It is through doing life together that our problems become smaller and God uses others to bring healing, support and encouragement to our lives—whether we realize we need it or not. Your small group will quickly become a place where others don't just know your name, but care about what is happening in your life.
Ready to lead a group?
Leading a small group isn't about being perfect; it's about serving others by giving them a place to connect. Hosting a group is simple—choose a topic that interests you and select a time and location to meet with others to share it. We give you essential tools to make your small group successful through Leadership Training and a directory where you can register your group so others can find it easily. We believe people's lives are changed one semester at a time by moving one step toward Christ, and as a connect group leader you get to play an important role in that process.
If you're ready to lead/host a new Connect Group, fill out the form below, and a member of our team will reach out to schedule an interview.

It's the selfie seen around the world--literally! This mom snapped a pic right after her c-section to commemorate her daughter's first minutes in this world. Have you ever seen such a beautiful family? Everyone's smiling in that blissed-out, euphoric way--including baby Carmen!
MUST SEE: Mom Catches Teenagers Taking Selfies in T.J.Maxx, Flawlessly Sums Up How We All Feel
In fact, many people think the selfie was photoshopped. After all, most babies don't give off those kinds of radiant gummy grins until they're six weeks or older. Well, at least not usually. But before you think this family is out for some kind of internet fame, there are other photos of sweet baby girl Carmen in her mom's Instagram account--and she has the same thrilled expression!
MUST READ: The Expansion of Kensington Palace Could Mean Baby #3 Is on the Way
Here is the little bathing beauty at 3 months old!
And you have to admit you've never seen a more radiant mermaid!
So it's entirely believable that Carmen was beaming when she made her appearance in this world! Just looking at these baby pictures is making us beam too!

A University Takes Its First Rebranding Bath
Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane
The Problem
Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco, is the only liberal arts institution in Morocco and North Africa but its brand did not tell the story of the campus community and did not communicate its value. The university needed a strategy that would move it beyond fragmented communication actions relying heavily on press and ad inserts, inconsistent branding, negative perceptions and a rising competition.
The Solution
Based on field research, I developed a story that reflected the value of Al Akhawayn University and a brand and marketing strategy that repositioned it and unified its voice.
I created a unique, refreshed visual identity and repositioned the brand using a personable voice and appealing messages told by students and alumni. Incorporating the look, feel and objectives of the new brand, I redesigned the entire website of the university and developed new concept, design and story-rich content for all its marketing communication material at different touchpoints: viewbooks, flyers, reports, newsletters, social media platforms, videos, photographs, stationery, memorabilia, event packs, booth designs, web stories and more.
Given the small budget and the need to better reach target audiences, it was important to identify new, diverse and cost-effective marketing venues. I targeted key audiences with relevant stories, used cost-effective and integrated marketing channels and aligned all marketing actions to the overall strategic objectives and mission of the university.
The Results
The new brand story and new marketing strategy of Al Akhawayn University resulted in high levels of recognition and recall, enhanced perceptions, improved targeting, increased appeal and reach, increased student and alumni advocacy, diversified marketing venues, increased brand visibility, increased website visits by 80% (soon after the first launch), reduced advertising cost by over 50% and increased returns, increased application rates, and showed high levels of engagement from prospective students.

Moses spearheaded field research that revealed that lapsed anglers tend to be driven by a desire to recreate the fishing experience that made them fall in love with the sport. Charting new territory was appealing but not as powerful as recapturing that initial rush.
Moses needed a campaign concept that would drive Arizonans to (re)discover the unforgettable experiences that AZGFD works to preserve. Adventure Renewed did just that, with visuals depicting the faded image of the great outdoors being brought back to life and captured through the saturated perspective of a mobile screen; the idea being that these are moments you'll want to remember and recreate.
The campaign appealed to both first-time anglers and advanced outdoorspeople alike, letting them know that improving their quality of life was easily accessible. All they needed was to buy or renew their fishing license – simple as that.
To drive our message home, we launched an interactive campaign complete with a landing page and a drip campaign designed to nurture interaction. Retargeting ads continued the conversation and a tag board encouraged social engagement by sharing photos of their outdoor adventures with the hashtag #adventurerenewed.
In the first month alone, the campaign increased license sales by 33% and combo license sales by 52%. This generated a total net revenue of $52,000, roughly tripling the return on media investment. The results exceeded all client goals and we'd be "line" to you if we said we weren't pleased.

Handmade Diaper Bag
I can't believe it but I actually finished my diaper bag! I made a pattern and sewed it in one evening and one toddler nap-time! I'm pretty happy with it but I made it smaller than I had originally planned. I really wanted a ginormous bag since I'm going to be toting around two wee-ones soon but this will do hopefully.
It has six pockets for all the baby crap!

Two people from Jefferson were among 82 arrested in eight Southeastern states as part of a massive child pornography sting.
Carol Chellew, 56, and Doug Chellew, 56, Jefferson, were taken into custody in the Operation Southern Impact III operation, according to a news release from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Specific charges weren't identified in the release, but the agency said most of the charges revolved around the possession or distribution of child pornography.
"During the operation, 134 search warrants were executed and 215 knock and talks were conducted in those eight (8) states," the GBI said. "During those search warrants and knock and talks, 861 digital devices were previewed and 1,613 digital devices were seized. Of those devices seized 203 were mobile phones."
The Jefferson Police Department was one of the agencies involved in the sting operation. The operation began four months ago, the GBI said, and across the state, 31 people were charged.

Yesterday morning was a definite bla day.
Got up. Weighed myself. Up again. More bla.
Got to the garage and my lovely cat threw up all over the treadmill. Was already running late so had dried puke pickup duty to look forward to at the end of the day. Double bla.
Get to the door. Library delivered another book. Picked that up and while locking the door and walking outside have this little precious monologue going in the head "Yup, you are a liar. Liar, liar pants on fire. You gained again. You don't journal what you eat. You lie to yourself about being committed. Liar, bla bla bla".
Fastforward an hour - opened the package from the library and it is the new Bob Harper book "Are you ready".
Fastforward another hour - leaving to a doctor appt I see a large bus parked in the overflow parking lot. Drive over to tell them it private property and the scram - guess what? Biggest Loser poster plasted all over the side of the bus. It is Dan from Biggest Loser. Didn't get to meet him but spoke to his dad for a bit.
So the universe was talking, actually screaming at me yesterday. "Here a resource! Go and use it!" So, I am.

Cut oil output, Opec tells non-members at 'historic' talks
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) was on Saturday seeking to persuade other oil producers to lower production as part of a newly-struck global pact to stem a crude glut and lift painfully low prices. The Vienna meeting, which includes major producer Russia, aims to nail down details on implementing the accord reached late last month.
Analysts however remained divided over the gathering's impact as doubts lingered regarding countries' willingness to freeze output. "We do not expect the outcome of this meeting to play a significant role in rebalancing the oil market," Vienna-based analyst group JBC Energy said.
Opec had agreed on November 30 to lower its monthly output by 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) to 32.5 million bpd as of January. Under the deal, OPEC also wants oil-producing nations outside the group to lower their output by 600,000 barrels a day.
Arriving shortly before the start of the talks, cartel chief Mohammed Barkindo of Nigeria expressed optimism about the chances of reaching an agreement to cut output by 600,000 bpd "and even more".
"This is a very historic meeting due to the presence of Opec and non-Opec members," he said. "The political atmosphere has changed."
Moscow — the world's largest oil producer along with Opec kingpin Saudi Arabia — has already signalled that it would provide half of that production cut in the first half of 2017. Speaking to reporters before the meeting, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said Moscow would hold to its commitment.
"We have stated our obligations and will abide by the figures we have talked about," he was quoted as saying by Russia's Interfax news agency. "For the non-OPEC countries gathered here, I think it will be about 600,000 tonnes in total."
Meanwhile Kuwait's prime minister formed a cabinet on Saturday that includes a new oil, electricity and water minister. Marzouk, a member of a merchant family, was a board member in national
oil conglomerate Kuwait Petroleum Corporation and also the head of the Kuwait Bourse Company.

[Happy Valentine's Day!! Please welcome our friend Lance to the blog today who reminds us how important it is to stay away from STDs… Sexually Transmitted Debt 😉 We first ran this piece about two years ago, but had to bring it back for anyone who's slipped into dangerous territory again… Always gotta stay vigilant, friends! Can't be too careful out there!]
There is nothing better than meeting "the one" and falling in love. They have everything going for them in life: great job, perfect hair, amazing personality, adventurous and outgoing, and don't forget… loaded with debt!
Nothing ruined a relationship faster (other than an emerging case of psychosis) than learning the person I was dating was drowning in debt. Even worse was the lack of recognition when they didn't think it was a big deal look at more info.

In the world of social media hashtags are more than representations of your pictures verbally. They are words that connect each other to different ideas and allow people to see your image. I don't want to get too much into the theory of how hashtags work but essentially they are unique identifiers that allow your image to get connected to words and key phrases.
This is especially important because services like Instagram do not index your pictures for you. They are indexed on the database end, but not for the users end. That means if you do not use a hashtag or any other identifier to your picture such as geo location, and or friend tag. You are at the mercy of people organically clinking your post on the shear chance of just physically looking at it.
In the Instagram world, thirty hashtags are allowed per post. Some of the key things I have noticed in the hashtag world is having a strategy laid out that way you are using the hashtags to their highest efficiency. Some strategies I have used over the years is splitting the thirty hashtags into a 30/70 split, which means one third of the hashtags envelope some sort of sets of locations while the other sixty percent of the 30 hashtags are used with global identifiers.
While that split is not always necessary, playing around with the hashtags and locations is a great way to get increased visibility with your profile and your website. I suggest trying it out with a combination of geo tags and fellow tagged friends for a worth combo on getting quality followers, this of course, followed with consistency will give you the result you want.

Jesus was a real human being who lived on the earth. It's not just the Bible that says this. Numerous other scholars from various backgrounds including the Jewish historian Josephus and the Roman historian Tacitus describe the existence of a man called Jesus.
Jesus was killed by the Romans. Again Josephus and Tacitus are among those who describe how the Roman governor of Palestine - Pontus Pilate - commanded that he was killed and how the soldiers crucified him. Other writers around in the 1st century such as Mara bar Serapion write of the death of Jesus.
Then something amazing happened. His followers started telling people he was alive and that he was the promised redeemer sent by God. The Christian faith grew exponentially in the Roman world - eventually taking over as the religion of the empire. But is there actually any evidence to suggest that Jesus rose from the dead? We believe that there is:
Shortly after his death, the religious authorities in the area wanted to put a stop to the claim that Jesus rose from the dead using any means necessary. The most effective way of doing this would be to produce his body and irrefutably show that he was dead. But they couldn't do this, the tomb Jesus was laid in was empty. When we consider whether anyone could have moved the body we find that no-one had the means and motive to do so. The Romans and Jewish leaders could have moved it but wouldn't want to and couldn't produce the body later when they wanted to. The disciples of Jesus would have had difficulty moving the body due to their high profile in the city, and the presence of armed guards. However, more importantly, they would have had no motive in doing so as they never gained anything from the spread of Christianity but instead suffered terrible persecution. The only option that holds water is that the account of the resurrection is accurate and that Jesus' body was moved as a result of divine intervention. Jesus was raised from the dead.
There were also an incredible number of witnesses who claimed to have met the risen Jesus after his resurrection. In fact there were over 500 people who claimed to have seen Jesus at the same time. This number of witnesses should be enough to catch our attention but what is more amazing is how these people acted. As the early Christian movement expanded it was met with extreme hostility by the religious leaders of the day. People were threatened, tortured and executed for proclaiming that Jesus was risen. But still these witnesses to the resurrection continued to spread the news. They definitely believed that Jesus was risen from the dead.
Of these witnesses to the raised Jesus there is one man who particularly stands out: the apostle Paul. Paul had been an important Jewish figure who had been heavily involved in the persecution of the Christians and had been instrumental in many executions. His vigour in trying to remove this new movement made him the least likely person to suddenly switch sides. But that is what happened. Paul abandoned his high position with the Jewish authorities of the time to become a Christian who spent the rest of his life trying to share the hope of the resurrection with as many people as possible. He, like many others, was willing to endure a great deal of suffering to preach that Jesus rose from the dead. His conversion adds to the evidence that Jesus really did rise from the dead.
Other evidence includes the change in attitude of Jesus' closest disciples after his resurrection, the conversion of James, and the "Jerusalem Factor" that considers the improbability of starting a made-up religion in 1st Century Jerusalem.
Individually each of these pieces of evidence would probably not be enough to cause us to believe that Jesus rose from the dead. But when we start to put them all together, and as we find more evidence, it starts to become a hard thing to deny.
We think that this is a good reason to believe in the God of the Bible. He said that he would send a redeemer who would die and rise again. A man called Jesus who claimed to be that redeemer lived and was killed by the Romans. This man is the subject of a faith which started in unfriendly circumstances, grew massively against all the odds and is now the main faith in the world. We believe the only explanation of this is that Jesus did rise from the dead.

The main tour route consists mainly of state rooms in various stages of reconstruction and restoration work: the west wing salons with excellent stucco decoration and an allusive installation of the original furniture, a Baroque chamber theatre, an impressive banquet hall from the early 19th century, the main arcaded Renaissance courtyard, a restored summer dining room with paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries and the neighboring vaulted salon with extremely valuable stucco and painted decorations. The tour finishes with the chateau chapel with excellent stucco.More information
This tour includes the main courtyard, a small courtyard not included in main tour route, which is defined by the 'Old Castle' in the northeast section of the building. The Late Gothic fort on this site underwent an early Renaissance reconstruction after 1550. Only after 1580 did the remaining extensive grounds follow. Visitors pass through the oldest part of the chateau complex. It includes spaces untouched by builders and renovators, which show the degree of devastation of the post-war decades. The tour concludes with the ascent to the tower and the view from it onto the chateau grounds and the surroundings. The fact that the climb to the tower is physically quite demanding must be reckoned with.More information

The New York Times dutifully, because Jeb Bush is a Republican, offers a long list of favors and advantages he took for himself as a member of his prominent political family.
It ranges from large to small, with something of a humorous item buried down the rabbit hole of the end of the article.
Readers can judge for themselves the significance of the large list. But this one seems to be something of a rabbit punch, if you will.
The stream of requests to the White House from Jeb Bush, a young but well-connected Republican leader in South Florida, ranged from the weighty and urgent to the parochial and mundane.
In one case, an entrepreneur who had attended a fund-raiser for a George Bush PAC in 1985 handed his son a letter requesting a contact at the Department of Agriculture to advance her business plan: increasing the consumption of domestic rabbit meat. [emphasis added]
Mr. Bush, sounding a bit embarrassed, pursued it nevertheless. "The enclosed letter is a bit unusual but it is serious," Mr. Bush wrote in a letter to Mr. Collamore a few days after the fund-raiser. "Can you get to me a name at U.S.D.A. to help her out?" Mr. Collamore dutifully tracked down the right person. "If anything else is needed, please don't hesitate to let me know," Mr. Collamore wrote to Mr. Bush.
If such an odd request left Mr. Collamore annoyed, he never let on. Years later, he traded a series of admiring emails with Mr. Bush during the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York, where Mr. Bush's father, brother and son George P. Bush had gathered. Mr. Bush could not make it, so he asked Mr. Collamore to give his son a hug in his place.
Mr. Collamore did one better: He arranged for Mr. Bush's son and daughter-in-law to attend the United States Open tennis tournament.
"A nice break," he wrote Mr. Bush, "from all this convention stuff."

Ketron Midjay (Bonus)
This online bonus material supplements the Ketron Midjay review in the November 2007 issue of Electronic Musician.
Blast from the Past
A couple of decades before all of my electronic instruments moved inside my computer, I used a clumsy combination of gear to play back MIDI sequences to augment my progressive banjo gigs. At the center of the operation was the Indus MIDI DJ, a hardware sequencer with perhaps the most cryptic 4-character LCD in history, and only four buttons to navigate a confusing dungeon of menus and nested submenus that would probably give Piranesi nightmares. You could record, edit, and play back 16 channels of MIDI data, but I pity the fool that tried to edit anything in that device.
I did all of my sequencing and editing in Voyetra Sequencer Plus, and dumped everything into the MIDI DJ—which stored the data on 5.25-inch floppies for playback at gigs. I took along a couple of sound modules, a MIDI Thru box, a raft of MIDI cables and power strips, and, of course, my floppies and banjo. By the time I was finished tweaking my sequences and setting up my gear, it was all I could do to warm up and get ready to play.
Anyone who has run that gauntlet of preperformance setup anxiety can attest that things are lots easier now. To use the Midjay in live performance situations, you''ll need to thoroughly familiarize yourself with its user interface. In that respect, it is very much like the MIDI DJ, albeit with a much-improved display and a ton of additional features.
User-Friendly Fire
The first greeting I received from the Midjay when I connected it to my computer was a warning not to remove the cable or power down during an alleged data transfer. I saw no progress bar or any other evidence of a data transfer. As it turned out, however, that warning was akin to the penalty warning for removing tags from pillows; the unit defaults to this mode and defers control to your computer for transferring files between the Midjay and the laptop.
My usual technique for testing a device''s ease of use is to tackle basic operations without opening the manual. It''s a good measure of the care taken to make a piece of gear idiotproof. As much as the Midjay strives to include so many amenities in a single unit, it is by no means intuitive. Because buttons perform multiple functions, it''s easy to reach for a cursor button and accidentally alter a file name, for instance. Although the unit has a clearly labeled start and stop button, you can also inadvertently start playback of files by toggling the Enter button. While some might find having redundant keys useful, I found it confusing. Certain functions you might expect from the controls aren''t implemented. For example, the alpha dial wouldn''t scroll through alphanumeric characters when I had to name a song file.

Emotions run the show in golf: Learn to Manage them
April 05, 2015, 02:59:16 AM »
Hi kakigolfers, dok baca baca terjumpa article ni, what a great article, moga manfaat kita semua, dan geng geng yang suka menyumpah from tee to pin tu baca juga ye hehe, menyumpah wont make your next shot better, just make you an annoying golfer. Golf is all about the next shot
How many times have you heard broadcasters say during a golf tournament, "If Rory or Rickie or Stacey or Inbee can control his (or her) emotions today, they can win this event." That applies to you and me, too; if you don't have an answer for your emotions, you'll struggle to win, or not play as well as you'd like.
I know in my own professional golf career, negative emotions were a major cause of grief. I just didn't have any answers when emotions spiraled, and started to go from hesitation to confusion to frustration and even anger. I was continually knocked off my focus by lingering negative emotions, and in my opinion, it was a game-changing factor in an inconsistent career.
I think we can all agree that golf is a difficult and an emotional game. In fact, understanding emotions may be more important in golf than any other sport.
Three main reasons
You are alone. There are no teammates to take the blame or lean on when you aren't at your best.
Time is not your friend. There is far too much time in between shots to mull over what happened or what's going to happen.
Chemicals don't help. Stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol that can help boost performance in other sports won't help you in golf.
Check Your Emotional Muscles
How prepared are you to deal with the "emotional hazards" in golf? How much "emotional muscle" do you think you have?
Before I explain some simple biology about emotion in golf, and give you a few ideas to help, click here to take a quick quiz and check the level of your "emotional muscle" to see where you are.
Chances are you need to build your emotional muscles to get to the next level in the game. Working on your swing motion and short game is important, but building emotional muscles will help you leverage all of your talent, work and efforts.
So let's start…
If you find emotions might be keeping you from better performance, a little understanding about performance and the brain may help you. After all, performance starts in the mind.
Some great work by Dr. Joseph Ledoux of the Centre for Neural Science, New York University and Dr. Daniel Goleman, a Harvard educated Psychologist and author of "Emotional Intelligence" has helped highlight the importance and role of the emotional brain in performance in corporate leadership — and now in sports.
The Alligator and the Computer
Generally, two sections of the brain are important to your game. To keep is simple, let's call them the alligator and the computer. The alligator, or the emotional brain, is the ancient part that has protected human beings from danger through time. It is what leads to "fight or flight." When threats arise and you need to escape trouble, the alligator kicks in.
The computer, or the thinking brain, makes the decisions. When the alligator perceives a threat and starts snapping, the computer decides on the level of the threat and the action. Is it important enough to respond?
What does this mean to you and your golf game?
When survival was the daily priority for human beings and reacting to threats was a constant reality, the alligator was a caveman's best friend. But threats are generally not life threatening today. You're a golfer, not a caveman, and your brain can't differentiate between a life-threatening situation and a four-foot putt for par and your best score of the year. Your alligator's threats are a sudden hook out of bounds, a ball buried in the bunker, three putts, a missed green with a wedge and other golf "threats".
The Little Troublemaker
There's a little, almond-shaped part of your brain, the control center of the alligator, called the amygdala. It's the troublemaker, pushing you around on the golf course and causing you to lose your cool. Even if you play like Rory McIlroy on one shot or one hole, the overstimulated alligator can make you play like Charles Barkley on the next.
When the amygdala "hijacks" your brain and the alligator overrides your computer, the computer responds to the threat, and your ability to reason and think logically are reduced. Your working memory becomes less efficient while your blood pressure, adrenaline and hormone levels rise.
Some great work by Harvard trained Brain Scientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor highlights that we can manage responses. Within 90 seconds from the initial trigger, the chemical component of your negative emotion dissolves from the bloodstream and the automatic response is over. The emotion is expressed. So, showing some emotion after a bad shot or bad break isn't bad. After all, you're human.
But, what's important is if you allow the negative emotion to heat up past those 90 seconds, you have chosen to allow the circuit to continue to run. Those 90 seconds gives your brain time to engage the computer which has an inhibitory circuit for the alligator (amygdala). You can then choose a more "performance-friendly" response.
If you allow the circuit to run and the negative emotion to continue, it can take 3-to-4 hours (coincidentally the same amount of time it takes to play a round of golf) for the hormones to clear your system, with the possibility of more hijacks being triggered along the way.
So, simply, the control center of the alligator can undo all of your preparation and sabotage your (and my) golf score. If you've ever heard the saying "I was so mad I couldn't think straight," this means the alligator is in charge, the computer is over-run and rational decision-making goes out the window. You might know the feeling during a round when things start going south and you can't reverse it.
Build Your Emotional Muscles
Emotional discipline is like a muscle you can build. In order to build your emotional muscle, here are a few simple ideas that can help you keep the alligator in its cage and make sure the computer is making clear, stress-free decisions.
Know yourself, Know You!
It is very common for you as a golfer to consistently play to your weaknesses and to the course's strengths. Clearly understand your own strengths, limitations and triggers in the game. What do you do well, what is not so comfortable for you, and what bothers you and triggers a negative reaction?
A lack of awareness can push you to do things you can't do in your game. How many times have you tried to do things on a golf course that you know you can't do, but tried them anyway and ended up frustrated and frazzled? Clearly understand what you can and can't do and always to play to strengths.
The 90-second rule
Tame the alligator with the 90-second rule. The ability to notice what's going on as it arises, and to slow down before you respond, is a crucial emotional skill. Brain experts tell us an emotion is expressed in about 90 seconds. It's fine as a golfer to feel and express the emotion within reason in that 90-second window. But, when you feel the emotion building, take a breath and be aware. This awareness will help you control your feelings and soften them before they damage the rest of your game.
Stay in the Moment to Stay Calm
The future and past are distractions for you and stir emotion. Unfortunately, on the golf course there is little you can do about either one. Carrying the past with you will also distract from the current moment and can have a major impact on your execution. Your destiny lies in the present moment. While the future is where your goals and achievements live, you achieve them through playing in the moment.
Emotions are the engine in the vehicle of performance, and the skills associated with building emotional muscle are indispensable to achieving competitive advantage for you in the game of golf.
If you want to enjoy the game more, activate your potential to bring your game to the next level, and be more effective in everything you do, spend some time building your emotional muscles.

New research data such as this from the Sapienza University of Rome shows that due to demographic changes, the new accessibility design codes are out of date by the time the ink has dried. We are living for longer, re-entering the work force after retirement, setting up new businesses in our sixties, doing post graduate studies in our seventies, and so on. Today we are "actively ageing". The data on the needs of our changing population is clear. In the next 10 years the New Zealand population over the age of 65 will increase from 16% to 20%. Therefore, the provision of accessible assets in our urban environments will need to increase. Here I recommend five ways we can improve accessibility in the built environment, so we are future-ready.
1. Incentivise future proofing in accessibility
I believe it is imperative that buildings built today are relevant to the demographic projections ahead, most especially in an increasing ageing population. Currently in New Zealand only 2% of housing is designed for accessibility, but 25% of the population has some form of disability. If local authorities could incentivise smart design of future-proofing considerations, then we might be the future benefactors of inheriting more resilient building stocks. Housing that is not designed specifically for an accessible user group can still incorporate Universal Design principles. For example, if bathroom dimensions are carefully planned then a standard bathroom could be converted later into an accessible bathroom. This would mitigate major renovation building work, such as moving walls. In New Zealand, a scheme such as Lifemark promotes specific spatial allowances and measures that make designs suitable for accessibility.
2. Realise that we all need inclusive design
In the early days of accessible design, architects usually thought they needed to design to the needs of wheelchair users or the visually impaired. Gradually, under the definition of Universal Design, we have seen a widening of the objectives to ensure that our cities and buildings are inclusive for all. It is likely that we will all need Universal Design at some stage in our lives. This can even occur on a temporary basis due to a physical injury. Inclusive design can make these users welcome in a building and in turn promotes a speedier recovery psychologically.
With the advent of digital mobile technology, urban users can potentially become visually or audio distracted in the urban realm. Therefore, architecture and interior design needs to provide "design cues" that are much stronger. We often hear of accidents occurring in both urban spaces and inside buildings due to a lack of accessibility. By applying some foresight, we could alleviate the burden these accidents put on our health systems. Technology can, of course, have benefits for aged care with the provision of inactivity sensors, movement sensors, cameras and home-based care remote diagnosis units.
3. Combine common sense with building codes
In cities there is generally a myriad of different building types, each from different eras. Many of these buildings, even as late as the 1980s and 1990s, fail to live up to current Universal Design objectives. However, we know that people love our built heritage and it adds to the diversity of our cities. Heritage buildings draw people into the cities for work and leisure. For example, Age UK lists its favourite accessible National Trust properties on its website. These include heritage gems such as Stourhead Gardens and Waddesdon Manor.
We need to balance common sense accessibility codes with heritage objectives so that there is a balanced outcome for both building owners and accessible users. Although we want all building users to enjoy heritage environments, there may need to be compromises between heritage objectives and Universal Design. Fortunately, proactive facilities management can actively contribute to making heritage buildings more accessible.
4. Create a new innovation industry around accessibility
Although there may be a pending infrastructure deficit in accessibility, there is also an opportunity to innovate. We need to create a Universal Design industry around retrofitting buildings,. This will only to make them more sustainable and resilient, but also more accessible. There is an increasing urban design awareness of the value of street activation to guide pedestrian movements. Including accessible user groups in our cities means greater diversity and vibrancy. I also think that other industries – new industries – will assist planners, architects and designers in these goals.
For example, British supermarkets are using special bespoke cash registers for some checkouts. Therefore, shoppers with dementia and other mental health disabilities can check-out their groceries in a time and manner more appropriate to them as users. Businesses are realising social capital benefits from such measures as well as economic returns.
5. Set achievable targets for each development sector
We are fortunate in New Zealand to have industry bodies such as Barrier Free Trust, Be Accessible and Lifemark. These organisations champion new thinking on Universal Design. They ask us all if the right questions are being asked at the right time. The project team have a responsibility to ensure the right industry bodies are engaged early and that clear accessibility objectives are set. Discussions around inclusivity in the built environment affect every sector: healthcare, aged care, workplace design, retail, hospitality, transportation and education. As we continue to build links between disciplines and sectors, accessibility innovations will be harnessed.
It is positive that the demographic projections have been outlined. The challenge is to connect the existing building stock and new supply with the future demand. Industry is starting to drive change in other fields. In the software industry Microsoft has developed a tool for MS Word that helps people with dyslexia read. Software design, combined with a deep sense of empathy, can empower employees and create increased productivity and engagement.
As outlined here, I believe that we need to make our cities more inclusive through a number of measures such as incentivising accessible future-proofing. We need to include us all in the definition of the Universal Design umbrella. It is imeprative to combine common sense and current building codes. There is an opportunity to galvanise an innovative accessibility design industry. Stakeholders can benchmark and set goals at all levels of the accessibility supply chain.
In my view the industry is well placed to tackle the Universal Design challenges ahead if we base our designs on the projected demographic. Often Universal Design principles can be included at no extra cost, if implemented early in the design process. If we act collectively as practitioners, researchers and legislators, then we will have diverse and integrated patterns of living in our cities.

Slingshot's Andrew Kim caught up with Kim "Reignover" Ui-Jin during the North American League of Legends Championship Series (NA LCS) summer split. They talked (in Korean and translated to English) about Team Liquid's poor start to the summer split, goals going forward and his future as a streamer.
Andrew Kim: It's hard to say that Team Liquid isn't in a difficult spot right now because the team was in a rough spot last split, and another (difficult) beginning this split isn't promising. As a member of Liquid, are you particularly nervous or concerned about this?
Kim "Reignover" Ui-jin: I'm of course very concerned and nervous. The performance is very underwhelming both for me individually and the team, so I am concerned but I think it'll be fixed if I work even harder. The coaching staff will everything they can, I'm sure, but I want to do well as a player.
AK: In 2018, Riot will be removing relegation and start franchising. A lot of the users seem to be split on whether or not relegations is good or bad. What are your opinions on the matter?
KUJ: Just looking at the removal of relegation, it might prevent new teams from coming in, but I know that there will be financial incentives to do well. I'm not that invested into the idea. It's just something that's happening around me.
AK: What do you think of Echo Fox's scrim strategy? It kind of looks like the old CJ Entus strategy, but I want to know your thoughts on it.
KUJ: We'll have to see, but they seem to be doing very well when we faced him, so I think it could work out.
AK: In NA esports, streaming is very crucial to the culture, with mandatory stream hours in contracts for some teams. If you were to make the decision to become a full-time streamer, what kind of conditions would have to be met?
KUJ: Even after I retire, I'm not sure if I'll stream at all. I don't enjoy streaming that much. If I enjoy it, I'll probably do it. If I don't, then I guess it'll be more likely I'll do something else. I think it depends on my interest.
AK: Do you think professional players have the time to not only stream but also manage a YouTube channel and other activities like streamers do?
KUJ: For me, the schedule isn't so tight that I can't do those kinds of things. I have plenty of time to play solo queue, so I turn the stream on. I think I have plenty of time to do that.
AK: A lot of teams consider the summer split to be the most important, and Team Liquid would be no different. But with the performance of this split not really being the deciding factor on whether a team will be in the league next season, have you noticed any shifts in mindset among players of the league?
KUJ: Well everyone is just looking to win. It's not like anyone wants to fight in the relegation tournament. It's (still early), and there's plenty left to play, so I'm mostly thinking what I can do to become better.
