Battlehawks 1942 was the first of a World War II trilogy that Lucasfilm Games released, the other two being "Their Finest Hour" (1989) and "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe" (1991).
The manual for Battlehawks 1942 included a 100 page illustrated overview of the Pacific war.
Introducing a flight simulation game without joystick support for the homecomputers (in the 80s dominating the market) was a somewhat strange, disputed decision made by Lucasfilm in 1988. Air combat manoeuvers such as the Split-S or the Immelmann turn, explained in detail within the Battlehawks 1942 manual, could not be correct performed on homecomputers without a joystick, using only keys or mouse (on the other hand the mouse was a more accurate device for the reargunner's place in the bombers).

The Washington Redskins have appeared in five Super Bowls to date,
winning three of them. The Washington Redskins last victory was in Super Bowl
XXVI when they dismantled the Buffalo Bills. Players like John Riggs and Doug
Williams performed brilliantly for the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl wins,
and in an attempt to return to those halcyon days the once- great head coach Joe
Gibbs was summoned from retirement to coach them once more. So far this
nostalgic exercise has been an abject failure.

California Wine Country
This is your delicious guide to modern California wine. The most insightful class on our Cali wine regions wines you can take. This class will take your palate on a flavor-packed trip across California. From Napa and Sonoma to Santa Barbara and the South Coast, this definitive class takes a lush, in-depth look at California winemaking, geography, and history.
You'll also get the skinny on cutting-edge winemakers and regions. There is a profound shift in California winemaking: a generational shift going on that's shaking up the old-school establishment. It's time to get excited about California wines again!
and now a bit of history…
The History of California Wine
Wine Institute of California
Winemaking in California began more than 240 years ago. In 1769, Father Junipero Serra, a Franciscan missionary, brought settlers from Mexico into San Diego. He established a mission there and the first known vineyard in California. As he moved north along the route that became known as El Camino Real, he and others established 21 missions linking San Diego in the south to Sonoma in the north. To each, Father Serra brought the cultivation of the grape. The first wines were produced for sacramental purposes and the daily table needs of the missions. The grape variety planted came with the missionaries from Mexico and was known as the Mission grape.
About 1830, the commercial era started through the efforts of a Frenchman, Jean Louis Vignes.
Arriving from Bordeaux, he saw the land's potential and soon imported cuttings of many varieties of the native European Vitis vinifera. His vineyard was located in what is now downtown Los Angeles. Shortly thereafter, a group of German Utopians started a large vineyard in Anaheim, now home to the world-famous Disneyland. In 1848, the discovery of gold forever changed the northern half of California. With it came a tremendous increase in population, wealth and settlements. Among those attracted to the pursuit of gold were many immigrants from France, Italy, Germany, Great Britain and other countries. A few struck it rich.
Many of those who did not, especially the Europeans, knew much about growing grapes and making wine, and realized that the land offered unlimited potential for vineyards.
Between 1860 and 1880, the industry grew rapidly as numerous wineries were established.
The fact that the quality of California wines improved during this period is generally attributed to Count Agoston Haraszthy who brought many vine cuttings back to California from his trips to Europe. With the completion of the transcontinental railroad system in 1869, California wines were soon well represented in the eastern United States and in many European countries.
Around 1880, the University of California established a major research center in Berkeley and experimental vineyard plots in many areas of the state. This development evolved into the now famous Department of Viticulture and Enology at the University of California at Davis.
By 1890, the industry was producing more than 10.9 million cases of wine per year. Additional cuttings were imported from Europe to supply the increasing number of vineyards. At the Paris Exhibition in 1890, nearly half of the California wines entered earned gold medals. During this period the vine pest phylloxera appeared in California. By the turn of the century it had ravaged many vineyards. Old vineyards were uprooted and new ones planted with Vinifera varieties that had been grafted to American rootstock, which was immune.
A more devastating blow to the California wine industry was the adoption of Prohibition in 1919, which banned the production and sales of alcoholic beverages. Having rebounded from phylloxera, winemaking virtually ceased until Prohibition was repealed in 1933. A few producers had remained in operation making sacramental wines, but most vineyards were either removed or replanted with table grapes or thick-skinned varieties that could be shipped great distances from home winemaking, which was still allowed.
After the repeal of Prohibition, the wine industry faced the arduous task of rebuilding from scratch. The Wine Institute of California was established in 1934 to support these efforts.
Before then, progress was slowed by the Great Depression and then World War II. Back on its feet in 1949, the industry produced more than 49.2 million cases. Growth was steady through 1960, when the annual output was 54.3 million cases. Expansion and redirection highlighted the California wine industry during the 1960s.
Although California has been harvesting grapes since the 18th century, the Golden State really became a global winemaking celebrity in 1976. That year California wines entered the infamous Judgment of Paris blind wine tasting competition, surprising the wine world by beating French wines in both red and white wine categories.
In the 1970s, production and sales of California wines reached record levels. To meet growing demand, new vineyards were planted. Between 1960 and the present, total vineyard land increased from 100,000 acres (40,500 hectares) to more than 535,000 acres (216,700 hectares) and the number of wineries grew from 227 in 1966 to well over 3,400 in 2010, shipping 242 million cases to the U.S. and abroad. European wineries and winemakers offered their own form of flattery by purchasing vineyard land and joining the California wine industry. Vintners from France, Germany, Italy, Spain and many other countries are now part of California's wine industry.
International acceptance and recognition followed national success. Exports began to increase significantly for the first time since 1900. They doubled in seven successive years during the late 1940s and early 1980s. In 2011, exports reached a record $1.39 billion in winery revenues and 50.6 million nine-liter cases.

Electric scooters are a great way to get around the city, especially if your own mobility is impaired. However, you'll need to operate the scooter carefully to make sure that you don't injure yourself. Fortunately, most of these injuries can be avoided by following the appropriate safety precautions.
Wear a Helmet
Only a small amount of those who ride electric scooters wear a helmet. Because electric scooters are a fun and inexpensive way to get around, it's better to purchase and wear a helmet than it is to rely on other modes of transportation.
Don't Treat It Like Just Any Scooter
If you're someone who used to ride on scooters that didn't have a motor 20 years ago and you're just jumping on a motored one now, keep in mind that an electric scooter won't be the same as riding on a traditional scooter. Also, if you haven't ridden a scooter in a while, you'll need time to practice and learn how to operate one safely. Try practicing in a parking lot or in your driveway before venturing out farther.
Follow the Law
One of the first steps when remaining safe while using an electric scooter is to learn the law. This will not only keep you safe but will reduce the risk that you'll suffer an injury. Not only that, but you'll also avoid any fines.
Some states allow electric scooters to be ridden on a sidewalk, while others don't. It's generally a bad idea for two people to ride one scooter and may lead to a violation. Also, some states restrict how old you must be to ride an electric scooter. Make sure to follow the rules of the road when using the road. Don't run a red light and make sure to stop at stop signs, for example.
Ride a Scooter While Feeling Refreshed
The worst time to use an electric scooter is after a long and exhausting day. Under these circumstances, you might make mistakes that will make it more likely that you'll suffer an injury. Also, try to restrict your adventures on an electric scooter to nicer days when you don't have to navigate slick sidewalks.
Don't Take Risks
Avoid performing tricks when using an electric scooter. Instead, it should be used as a tool designed primarily to get around quickly. Don't ride your scooter on dangerous terrain, such as a very hilly or mountainous area. They are not designed for off-roading. However, after you have some experience with a scooter, you'll be able to reduce your chances of an injury.Share
29 January 2019
One day I was playing a game of basketball with a friend, and the friend I was playing ball with tripped and took a hard fall to the ground. He hit his head hard, but he insisted he was okay and just wanted to go home and take a nap. I knew in my heart that he was not thinking clearly, and I didn't feel right letting him go home. I talked him into letting me take him to the hospital, and after some tests, it was determined he had a bad concussion. The doctors told me that if I had let him go home and sleep, things could have taken a turn for the worse. I created this blog to remind everyone to look out for each other after injuries. Not everyone thinks clearly after a head injury, and just being a good friend could save a life.

There are three outcomes of the Stages of Growth X-Ray™ process, that I have used over the years in explaining the value of this process to CEOs.
The X-Ray starts by creating Alignment and this process is the best I've seen that immediately creates a language of growth so people understand and can articulate their issues and if you get everyone aligned around critical issues, it's very easy to get Engagement because, after all, the participants in this process are coming up with those issues themselves, and they are gaining understanding and perspective on how their team mates view their issues and if you can engage people in a dialogue around the issues they care about you can start down the path toward Implementation since those participants have identified the action steps needed to address each of those challenges and commit to getting their team involved in getting the work done.
It's easy for a CEO to know and understand where he/she wants their company to go and how it will get there. As an owner, you live with the day-to-day challenges of running your company and addressing those challenges.
The X-Ray process starts out by immediately creating alignment around what the participants view as the company's top five challenges. In a very short period of time, the entire team now agrees on areas of concern that need to be addressed. For the first time, everyone can articulate what those challenges are using the same language. And those challenges are prioritized.
The Gallup studies show levels of disengagement among companies at increasing rates. The latest poll has it as high as 71%. If a CEO is running a Stage 4 company with 45 employees, that means 32 of those employees have checked out. We can't assume leadership teams are immune to this and the X-Ray process is designed to increase engagement by helping each person find their voice, be able to articulate what they are frustrated with, and share their concerns in an environment that is safe and designed to focus on organizational issues, not point the finger at any one individual. When people are communicating real concerns, they get engaged. When people feel they are being heard, they get engaged. When people feel valued for their ideas and solutions, they get engaged.
The X-Ray process creates engagement as soon as people start talking which happens within 5 minutes of starting the process. And that conversation continues throughout the entire process allowing people's ideas and concerns to be identified, shared, discussed and validated. At the end of the X-Ray, everyone has a voice in what the company's top five issues are, what the purpose of those issues are, who will own and be accountable for each issue and what the outcome will be once those issues are resolved. That is the very essence of engagement.
The X-Ray process kicks off the implementation piece by helping people get clear about what everyone felt their top issues were.
Once there is clarity about the WHAT, the company can get to work on the HOW. Now the participants from the X-Ray can engage their team, the rest of the company, on what the focus will be going forward.
All team members will be involved in tracking and measuring the progress of those top issues. It's now not so easy to get hijacked by those 'shiny white objects' because there is a 30x30 inch reminder (their Stage of Growth Map) about what the company said they needed to work on over the coming months. The rubber does meet the road when it comes to getting results, but any company that has gone through the Stages of Growth X-Ray process has already increased their chances of success because there is alignment among the participants, there is engagement within the company and everyone understands the steps necessary for implementation.
The challenge for today's businesses is significant. 80% of all new fail in the first 5 years. Of those remaining 20%, 80% fail with the next 5 years.
Are you ready to defy the odds?
Our Stages of Growth X-Ray™ program helps a CEO and his/her management team begin the process of engagement.
Kittridge Connection, Inc. has taken the concepts of the 7 Stages of Growth as outlined through James Fischer's research (author of Navigating the Growth Curve) with over 650 successful companies to uncover why some companies were better able to navigate through the challenges of growth.
Fischer's research found that the complexity level of entrepreneurial organization increased due to only one factor: People! As you add people to your organization the challenges increase and the complexity can prove overwhelming for a business owner who hasn't been down this path before.
He named this model the 7 Stages of Growth. Kittridge Connection, Inc. has created a unique and impactful workshop that helps a CEO uncover the 'hidden agents' that might be creating obstacles to growth. It's through the facilitated Stages of Growth X-Ray™ program that the management team identifies issues, creates alignment around those issues and gets to resolution quicker.
The Stages of Growth X-Ray™ online assessment tools allow each participant to put a name to an issue, taking away the uncertainty of areas of concern and giving each person the opportunity to identify strengths and weaknesses from their own perspective.
Each participant evaluates over 100 potential research-proven issues specific to their stage of growth. When they come together in the facilitated workshop, their time is spent on resolving what everyone agreed are their top issues, this is all about alignment and they take that first step toward engagement by coming to consensus as a team, knowing they are now all on the same page.

Founded in 1986 (as the Centre for Psychoanalytic Research) the Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis (ACP) is devoted to the teaching of psychoanalysis, the training of analysts and research in the psychoanalytic field within the Lacanian orientation. The Centre offers a comprehensive program of training in psychoanalysis comprising the three components of psychoanalytic formation (personal analysis, clinical supervision and theoretical and clinical studies) which may lead to registration with the Centre as a Practising Analyst. Applications for candidature as an Analyst-in-Training can be made by members of the ACP who have commenced their formation and are actively participating in the activities of the Centre. Anyone with an interest in the study of psychoanalysis can apply to the relevant convenors to join in the Centre's activities.
ACP Training document (PDF, 100kB)
For further information contact: Lena Andary, Convenor of the Training Committee, 0417 533 536, firstname.lastname@example.com
In this two semester, introductory program, students will be introduced to concepts that lie at the heart of psychoanalysis. The course is
both theoretical and practical, with an emphasis on the famous case studies that Freud used to introduce his discovery of the unconscious. It also explores the conceptual frame works that different schools of psychoanalysis have used to construct models of intervention. Psychoanalysis is both a body of theory and a clinical praxis. It also has a powerful research function. All these will be touched upon in the course over the duration of the year. In one and a half hour, weekly seminars, the teaching will cover the basic ideas of psychoanalytic practice, and the way they are implemented in the clinic.
As the source from which all psychotherapies derive, psychoanalysis aims most potently to produce truthful knowledge, and this will be
theme of the course, which is suitable for both those who intend to practice clinically, and others with a more general interest. Over the many years the course has been running, this seminar format has proved an accessible way to introduce psychoanalysis.The course consists of 24 seminars over two semesters:Day: Thursdays Time: 7.30pm-9.00pmSemester 1: February 21st to May 30th Semester 2: August 1st to October 3rd Venue: Treacy Conference Centre, Parkville Contact: Dr Peter Ellingsen T: 0408 125 076 E: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis offers a program of theoretical and clinical studies aimed at engaging participants in a systematic study of the founding concepts of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis. The program covers eight foundational subjects taught over eight semesters, each 14 weeks long. Sessions are held on Saturday morning for three and half hours, delivered from the Treacy Centre in Parkville. Taken together the program provides a solid theoretical foundation for anyone interested in studying psychoanalysis and those wishing to become Analyst's in Training with the ACP.
Foundational Areas of Study
1. Crucial
problems in the psychoanalytic experience and contemporary clinical
practice. Across the year the following problems will be addressed
through the study of psychoanalytic cases.
2. Theory of the Unconscious Participants are
introduced to the foundational concepts of Freud's work, their
elaboration by Jacques Lacan and their application in clinical practice.
This involves a comprehensive study of the formations of the
unconscious and the epistemological, philosophical and clinical
questions they give rise to.
3. Theory of the drive and sexuality The
theory of infantile sexuality put forward by Freud is fundamental
because it distinguishes sexuality within the field of psychoanalysis
from that of instinct and reproduction. This subject includes a close
study of the structure of the drive, Lacan's unique theory of the
object, and the complex topic of sexual identity.
4. Theory of discourse and repetition This
area of study involves a close examination of Freud theory of
transference which is fundamental to the appearance of repetition
compulsion in psychoanalytic practice. We consider Freud's theory of
repetition and Lacan's extension which situates it as the effect of
language on the speaking being. Lacan gives the name "Discourse" to the
particular social bonds that are possible as the result of this effect,
arguing the "Analyst's Discourse" marks a new form of social bond
possible for the speaking-being.
5. Psychopathology: neuroses, psychosis and perversionThe
subject begins with a study of the general theory of psychopathology
and clinical structures developed by Freud and extended by Lacan. Each
clinical structure of neuroses, psychosis, perversion and their subsets
are studied in depth and current nosological categories are critically
6. Ethics and Praxis The
fundamental ethical questions posed by the clinical practice of
psychoanalysis. This includes an exploration of the Lacanian concept of
the analyst's desire, and investigation of the contributions made by
Freud and Lacan to the field of ethics.
7. Psychoanalysis with Children and AdolescentsThis
subject is devoted to the study of the theory and clinical practice of
psychoanalysis with children and adolescents. It includes consideration
of the typical problems encountered in the work and the many
epistemological, ethical and technical questions that arise. The program
includes an examination of the contribution made by pioneers in the
field: Melanie Klein, Donald Winnicott, Maud Mannoni, Rosine and Robert
Lefort and others.
8. Special Clinical Problems
the final semester of the program we allocate time to
investigate clinical and conceptual questions that arise in the
treatment of special conditions such as addictions, severe depression,
psychosomatic phenomena, borderline conditions, atypical psychosis,
transgender/sexual identity issues and other problems that arise in
contemporary clinical practice.
Participation in any of the
subjects is open to any member or interested person but enrolment must
be organised via the course co-ordinator and fees apply. Not all
subjects are taught every year.Day: Saturdays Time: 8.45am - 12.30pmSemester 1: March 2nd to June 22nd Semester 2: July 27th to November 30thVenue: Treacy Conference Centre, Parkville Contact: Dr Serena SmithT: 0409 firstname.lastname@example.com
Inclusion in the ACP's register of practising analysts is pursued by members applying to the ACP Register Committee, and it is dependent on the committee being satisfied that all the components of a psychoanalytic training have been adequately carried out to the extent that the candidate can be recognised by the Centre as a registered practising analyst.

Edge of Dawn, Lara Adrian (Review)
Edge of Dawn (Midnight Breed 11), Lara Adrian
Everyone knows they exist and Mira has everything she needs, acceptance in the order the one thing she has always wanted, other than Kellan. She does not have Kellan Archer, the breed who stole her heart at a young age. It has been years since his disappearance and assumed death but she cannot move past her love for him or his loss.
When she finds out he is alive and the leader of a rebel band, she tries to fight her feelings for him. Unfortunately even hurt by his betrayal she cannot get over her love for him and her happiness he is not dead.
Bookswagger Marcia: Three Crowns, swagger jacked, decent read. Edge of Dawn was an okay read, I know I have said this before but if I had half ratings this would have been an in between. If you read the series you will probably buy the book to keep up with the characters and this was a much anticipated story so maybe I just hyped it up to much in my mind and let my own self down. I just love Mira and Kellan it just took too long to get to the great stuff. So expect a slow start, stick with it people it will get better I think a lot of the boring stuff in the beginning of the book was for readers new to the series. If I had to hear one more time how sad she was about Kellan and I admit I was sad about Kellan too but at one point I wanted to slap Mira and let her know. Ok chick this is a romance novel you are going to get a HEA please be patient you are killing me. But I digress, good read, heats up you may want to check it out at your local library first this is an expensive one even digital.

The HF-125 is our new high frequency controller that operates at 7000 cycles per second. Some fan companies want their fans to run at his frequency. It will also stop any fan buzz.
Electromagnetic interference aka "EMI"
This invisible problem has effected audio equipment, ignition systems, fuel injection systems, and even alternators. The wire from the controller to your fan is emitting this EMI invisible noise. The best way to deal with this is to shield the wire from the controller to your fan. See our MORE/PDF on this EMI cure.
We received this email from Frank on his alternator EMI problem:
"Its hard to count the number of people who insisted that either the alternator or your controller was defective. No description of how or why, just EMI can't do that!
If I ever do this again, I'm buying shielded wire to start with!"
Before you purchase that brand X controller, check their DC current rating and history of failures! The Auto Cool Guy starts at 55 amps - to a monster 200 amp unit!
The Auto Cool DX-150 for push button radiator temperature control.
* Rated at 150 amps max

Make sure you send us your mailing address!
Be sure you email the size sensor you need!
We are not getting Pay Pal notes?
The Auto Cool Guy supplies the Standard Brass Sensor with your controller.
However, if you purchase a Brass Plug Sensor or one of the Copper Inline Sensors, we do not supply the Standard Brass Sensor as the default sensor with your order.
Send us an email on the size of sensor you have ordered! We are not getting the pay pal notes?
We get a vast amount of calls and emails from pissed off guys that purchased the brand X controller from that
"Racing Company."
The Auto Cool Guy
ends up selling them a reliable Auto Cool Controller!

Polus Solutions has extensive development resources available to build custom applications or expand on the Coeus and Kuali Coeus functionality. Our development team has been involved with the Kuali Coeus project from the beginning. They have also been the primary resource for Coeus development. We have worked with a number of institutions to support Coeus and Kuali Coeus by providing design and development expertise.
Some of our more specialized software offerings are the Kuali Coeus Overlay service and a mobility application which allows research administrators, investigators and approvers to not only view documents but also take actions on the documents. This application works for both Kuali Coeus and Coeus.
Kuali Coeus offers a rich base for research administration management. However to the end user the interface can be overwhelming. Providing the end user with an interface that makes their experience simple, efficient and complete should be one of the goals of any implementation. Polus Solutions has developed a product which will provide just such an experience. Polus Solutions' Kuali Coeus Overlay product will allow institutions to tailor the user experience to their own requirements while still providing the complete functionality of the application. The best part is the overlay does not customize any of the base Kuali Coeus code. This will make taking upgrades and patches much easier compared to the traditional customization approach. When an institution wishes to upgrade to a newer version of Kuali Coeus they simply need to download the latest release, apply the overlay we have developed for them and conduct their normal upgrade testing procedures.
With Polus Solutions' mobile app users can access proposals and protocols from mobile devices and an internet connection. The rich features of the mobile application will allow users to work with proposals and protocols without being tied to a computer. The mobile application can be run on iOS and Android devices. Being able to access either Kuali Coeus or Coeus will greatly increase your user's access to the system. With the mobility app research administration becomes much more efficient by allowing users to conduct their work anywhere and anytime which is convenient for them.

Are you generating leads for your business with your nonfiction book?
Or are readers reading one novel and also buying the other books in your series?
Maybe, you are in-between these things. You are making some money with your book, however, it really isn't a business at this point.
Maybe you aren't making money, you aren't happy, you aren't where you want to be as an author."
The ultimate reality is that 99.99% of authors actually make less than $500 a year, which comes the soul searching time.
Wether you admit it or not, chances are you aren't the top 0.01% of authors, so this article applies to you, so listen up.
If you aren't the 0.01% it's time to look at changing your mindset and adopting, specifically, a "business mindset" as an author.
Almost 11 years ago, I found myself stuck in a job I hated.
This wasn't even a job because I wasn't even getting paid.
Instead, I was trying to establish myself in a boutique hybrid traditional/digital marketing agency in St. John's, NL, Canada.
At the time, digital marketing was all the rage, everyone wanted to be a part of this industry.
During the next year, I did everything for this agency and it mostly wasn't related to digital marketing.
The thing I hated the most, that I remembered, was picking up client prints at the printer.
I was the only one without a car but I always got tasked to pick up the prints.
I still remember, not having a car, at the time, walking through snowbanks in the middle of winter holding up client prints so that they didn't get wrecked."
This was almost an office joke, as they knew that I was the only one who didn't have a car.
After a year of this, I said F*uck this and I decided to take a job working security 40 hours a week at nights, where I trained myself, and developed my skills to work in digital marketing.
Then I started taking on my own clients after a year of doing this.
Keep in mind, it took me almost 7 years of struggling working with clients and working dead end jobs to get to where I am now…
Where we are bringing in steady monthly income with our business.
However, during that time, 7 years ago, I had a clear goal to build a business.
The mindset that I had to develop to succeed in my business is what I'm sharing with you in this article."
What's important, for you to do, as I did, is to set the intention to make a living with your writing.
Let's talk about how you can set that intention.
The reality is, no matter where you are amongst these use cases of writers that I mentioned, you are serving an audience with a product that helps, entertains, or makes someones life better."
If you didn't know, surprise! That's a business.
If, as an author, you aren't thinking along these lines "that you are a business!!"
Then it's time to level up, power up, or shut up, and make your author side gig into a business.
According to Robert Brill, contributing writer for Forbes.com's article "Five Ways To Power Up Your Mindset For Entrepreneurial Success." he says:
"I've found that many successful business owners have a "playbook" for growing their business that has nothing to do with the practices of selling, the work being offered, creating customer success or delivering organic growth."
In this article, I'm going to give you the 5 motivations, or according to hacktheentrepreneur.com "mindset hacks" so you can start developing what I call the "Authorpreneurs Playbook" and start taking your writing seriously…
It's time.
The 5 mindset hacks are the following:
- 1.Show Gratitude – The everyday practice of creating opportunity out of setbacks
- 2.Eliminate Limitations – How can you get rid of what's holding you back from making a living as an author?
- 3.Find Mentors – Find out who's doing what you want to achieve and learn from them
- 4.Have Purpose And Vision – Say what you say you are going to do, write it down, and move toward it every day
- 5.Believe In Yourself – What do you have to tell yourself to start and keep believing
1. Show Gratitude
Micheal Kay in his article from inc.com "Why Expressing Gratitude Is Crucial In Business" had this to say about the importance of Gratitude in business:
Expressing gratitude is one way to help your business thrive, and often, it tends to get lost in the day-to-day. It distinguishes you from a sea of competitors, and even small acts of appreciation can solidify your key professional relationships. It can create a connection that becomes the basis for a powerful alliance you never considered."
How To Show Gratitude
As an author, there are many ways through your books, and you're writing, that you can show gratitude to key mentors, colleagues, or prospects that have provided value, or that you are looking to provide value too.
In a recent conversation with a friend of mine Kare Anderson, former NBC, and WSJ reporter, she mentions, in her most recent book "Mutuality Matters" that…
"More than your money, title, attractiveness, charisma or even your strongest talent, your capacity to create mutuality enables you to become the Opportunity Maker with whom others must align."
As authors, there are many ways we can show gratitude with how we promote our books, similar to the ideas of mutuality, as Kare mentioned, which might include:
Citing Others:
Citing others in your books, blogs, podcasts, or articles, and then contacting them and letting them know that you cited them is a great way to give gratitude to those you know and a great way to attract key partners and prospects.
How you can do this?
How can you include others in the writing of your next book? Maybe you can send a a question out to key people and include it in your book, as part of the finished book.
Editorial Reviews:
Writing about a specific topic that's relevant to a reporter, editor, or thought leader in your specific industry is a great way to promote your book, and a way to connect with leaders, and prospective partners.
How you can do this?
Research before you write.
Go to Amazon.com and look at 100 other books that are similar to the kind of book that you would like to write.
Try to get in touch with some of the authors on their author pages, or social media profiles.
"Like" them on Facebook, "retweet" what they say to your social media following, and get their attention by following the other ways to show gratitude that I've mentioned here.
Podcast interviews, as an example, are a great way to show gratitude for someone that you might admire, who has valuable information you can share to your audience.
How you can do this?
Be specific with how the podcast will help the person you interview.
For example, paying for online training that your guest has developed, or buying their book, and catering your podcast around these products will give them a reason to share your podcast to their followers.
This is also one of the best ways to build or grow an email list!
2. Eliminate Limitations
You don't have enough time, money, contacts, or you've never ran a business, your book will never be a bestseller, shall I go on?
These are self-limiting beliefs, squash them!
For several years, I worked full time in my business while I worked in security, retail, shipping, in hospitality, and even as an overnight janitor in a food court where competitors to my digital marketing business had their offices.
When I was mopping the floor, and a colleague would see me, I wouldn't hide myself.
I would walk toward the person, mop in hand and spark a conversation.
I believed mopping the floor built character, made me hungry, and showed I was willing to do whatever it takes to succeed in business, and my colleagues, and prospects seen that too."
According to Kamanzi Constable, in his article from Entrepreneur.com "Stop Listening to These 5 Self-Limiting Beliefs Stunting Your Business" he mentions 5 self-limiting beliefs that I also avoided, that allowed me to succeed:
- My content isn't good enough – I don't have enough book reviews, my book isn't written well, my emails aren't getting enough clicks, sound familiar? You know what content your audience likes don't get caught up in the self-limiting belief that your content isn't good enough.
- I can't raise my prices – Just because I moped 3 hours a day for a couple of bucks above minimum wage doesn't mean that I wasn't charging competitive pricing for my digital marketing business during the day. The same applies to you, if you have value to deliver charge fair prices in your industry.
- I don't have enough credential – I don't have a degree, a doctorate, or whatever, don't let this hold you back, there are a lot of entrepreneurs without college degrees, for example Steve Jobs, the founder of frickin' apple does not have a college degree.
- I don't have enough resources – Financial resources are the reason why books make it to a bestseller, or why a business succeeds over another in the same market. However, there are many free options for authorpreneurs to get started building their platforms. For example, you can build a website for free on WordPress, or you can self-publish your book on Amazon instead of paying a hyrbid publisher.
If your funds aren't where you want them to believe, don't let them stop you as an authorpreneur. There are a number of different ways to grow your business:
- Crowd funding.
- Venture capitol.
- Bartering.
- Building as funds come in.
3.Find Mentors
The biggest thing with any marketing strategy to promote your book, or business model is that you have to be able to visualize where you want to go, who you want to help, and how.
Of course, you can go it alone, and ignore entrepreneurs and competitors, colleagues, and individuals in your market, or who've wrote similar books as yours, or you can seek mentorship from them.
Learn what they've learned and use them as a model of what you want in your life, and business.
In the article from smallbiztrends.com "5 Benefits of Having a Small Business Mentor" they mentioned that…
"Business mentors have "been there, done that." They can offer you expert advice and guidance based on actual experiences — successes and failures included."
Who are the biggest competitor authors in your industry, or book category? What are they doing as Authorpreneurs to promote their books, and build their author platforms?
Take stock, who do you know that has succeeded in a certain area of business, or life where you also want to succeed in?
Don't be afraid to take on multiple mentors to help you improve your writing, book marketing, or even a personal mentor that can help you with your self-limiting beliefs.
4.Have A Purpose And Vision
Do you know how many authors I've worked with over the years who spend a 1000 hours a year writing books, who've published 50 books on a specific topic, don't sell any, and just keep writing.
Too many!
You are a writer, gotta get writing, right?
However, these writers are undervaluing their writing, and they are completely ignoring their audience.
Why not set out to achieve sales for your book, as a metric of success to gauge what your audience likes and dislikes.
You need to be specific to what your vision is and how you are going to achieve it.
This is a brand, and a business that sells products i.e; your books!
So, let's visualize what that looks like.
What are your goals, and your vision for your authorpreneur business?
Are you going to sell books, or also offer online training complementary to your books?
Will you work with marketing, or distribution partners to sell your books?
How Can You Nurture Your Vision?
A great technique for nurturing your vision and purpose is to make your goals visual. Some people use vision boards; others opt for treasure maps. And still others set goals identifying specific dates for their achievement.
Is there something you've been wanting to accomplish? Then write down clear, actionable goals that will lead up to this big win.
I believe that anything written down is more likely to come to fruition.
5.Believe In Yourself
I'm not going to go deep down the rabbit hole on this concept.
I've covered a lot of things on self limiting beliefs that I'm not going to repeat, this is at the core of your own belief in yourself.
The big thing with believing in yourself, just like I did working all those dead end jobs for several years, make the intention everyday when you get up in the morning to find a way to frame new opportunities:
1. Verbalize six things you are grateful for.
2. Visualize the way the day will go.
3. Write down the 10 things you want to achieve in your life, stated in the present tense (e.g., "I have a $100 million dollar advertising business").
Feel the positivity build and thrive!
It's time to start thinking about your writing as an author as a business.
Or if you are an entrepreneur, and your books aren't an asset…
It's time to change that mindset, and start achieving what you envision as an authorpreneur.
Use this article and the 5 mindset hacks when considering going from writer to entrepreneur, or entrepreneur to writer, or anyone in-between:
- 1.Show Gratitude – The everyday practice of creating opportunity out of setbacks
- 2.Eliminate Limitations – How can you get rid of what's holding you back from making a living as an author?
- 3.Find Mentors – Find out who's doing what you want to achieve and learn from them
- 4.Have Purpose And Vision – Say what you say you are going to do, write it down, and move toward it every day
- 5.Believe In Yourself – What do you have to tell yourself to start and keep believing
Cheers and happy thoughts. I always think now when I get up in the morning:
"How can I reframe what I thought to be obstacles the day before into opportunities today."

HONOLULU, Hawaii — The Pacific Aviation Museum reports a new collaboration with the artists of Walt Disney Animation Studios & Disneytoon Studios.
To honor the World War II-era B17 Flying Fortress, "Swamp Ghost," artists Mike Gabriel (director, "Pocahontas," "The Rescuers Down Under" and the Oscar-nominated short, "Lorenzo") and Klay Hall (director, Disneytoon Studios "Planes") worked to create original nose art, to be exclusively displayed at the museum.
"We hope that the creation and display of the Swamp Ghost nose art serves as a tribute to aviation history and to all those who serve," said Greg Coleman, VP, Walt Disney Animation Studios and Disneytoon Studios Worldwide Marketing.
During the war, The Walt Disney Studios made more than 1,200 insignia for the US and Allied forces, many of which featured iconic characters, including Donald Duck. Disney characters were often painted onto the nose section of aircraft during this era.
"Walt Disney's "Donald Duck" was one of the most iconic and likable characters during the 1940's," says Klay Hall. "He was very popular amongst servicemen, possessing a feistiness with a "can do" attitude. He seemed like a natural fit for the Swamp Ghost nose art."
The history of Swamp Ghost, the airplane, is a unique one. The B17 ran critically low on fuel during a mission and had to be ditched in a jungle swamp in the Papua New Guinea area in 1942. All the men walked away from the plane unharmed.
It was thought lost until 1972, when it was spotted by a Royal Australian Air Force helicopter, completely intact, resting in a swamp. The plane never received an honorary name or piece of nose art (that usually happened after a few missions). The plane gained the name "Swamp Ghost" because of where it was found.
The plane was then carefully extracted from the swamp and ultimately moved to the Pacific Aviation Museum, where it has been exhibited in its "as is" condition since 2014. The exhibition of Swamp Ghost and its nose art joins a collection of more than 40 aircraft at the museum.
"My fervent hope was to do honor to the insignia and nose artwork that the Disney artists created back in the 1940s during the war, by doing a Swamp Ghost design that was totally convincing to the time in which the Swamp Ghost was flying," said Gabriel. "Klay and I analyzed every aspect of the nose art designs that were created to try and convincingly capture the look, feel, and colors of the time, in order to authentically transport the viewer back to the time. I hope when people see the nose art Klay and I have created, they sense the deep attachment and commitment we have to this exciting project."
"This is not only an honor for us to be a part of, personally," said Klay Hall, "it is in remembrance and tribute to our fathers and grandfathers who served their country during that time and those that serve today."

Last week's VUWSA executive meeting came and went in almost exactly twenty minutes, a new record for the time I've attended them. Notable absences this week were Paul Zhong, who apparently does exist because he called to organise a meeting with Max while he was in Otago, and James Sleep, who made his absence known in 14-point, bolded font on the back page of his work report.
Work reports flew past. James forwarded his previous period's report to Salient editor Sarah Robson from deep within whatever bureaucratic hellhole he was trapped in at FINSEC (the financial sector workers' union), properly formatted and all. Alan still needs to make up six hours, Tom five, and Zack three. Alan had seven hours of work struck from his report from the previous period as the exec deemed it unlikely that he would be able to make them up.
The likelihood of blanket fee increases hung over the meeting like a blanket. Max spent a (proportionately) large section of his report talking about VUWSA's engagement with students regarding the fee setting.
James has secured the Debt Monster (large, green and fuzzy) for some sort of activity around campus next week, which will serve to shock the financially disassociated student body into action. VUWSA also received a letter from the university regarding their protest policy, obviously trying to avoid a repeat of last year's fruit-throwing fracas when fees were set.
Max told the exec that it has been agreed the Student Services Levy would not increase next year, after an increase to $510 for full-time students for 2010. He stated that VUWSA had also secured partial refunds for students who only completed one paper this year.
Zack Dorner updated the executive on implementation of the Sustainability Policy. He was working with Mark and Melissa to develop an annual action-plan, as well as a way to make future events more sustainable. Zack suggested this may be in the form of a checklist for organizers. The executive is now taking the sustainability of grant applications into account. How grants that require a large amount of international travel will be addressed is yet to be seen.
Events for the coming weeks were run through with Masha. Bridie is organising a clinic for the Education (Karori) Campus. There was mention of reopening the VUWSA office at the campus, hopefully as part of a scheme to start exiling underperforming executive members.
Despite the thirty-minute meeting a fortnight ago, and the twenty-minute one this time around, it might still be too soon to assume that a trend's developing.
Next Eye On Exec promises to be a doozy, with the VSM Select Committee report to be released next week. Enjoy your socialist utopia while you can!

I take issue when people seem to think that AI is only AI if it resembles what we've been shown in movies. I actually unsubscribed from a podcast when one of the hosts said that none of what is currently being touted as AI counts because it's essentially not AGI or super AI. #petty 😒
That being said, I think this framework laid out by Ben Evans is pretty spot on: 👌
Indeed, I think one could propose a whole list of unhelpful ways of talking about current developments in machine learning. For example:
- Data is the new oil
- Google and China (or Facebook, or Amazon, or BAT) have all the data
- AI will take all the jobs
- And, of course, saying AI itself.
More useful things to talk about, perhaps, might be:
- Automation
- Enabling technology layers
- Relational databases.
Machine Learning's current superpower is level of automation that seems almost magical. Of course this also means that products can claim to be AI/ML based but really just be a crazy automation stack. And maybe using some "new" terminology to talk about AI/ML/DL will help lead to constructive conversations and a better informed public instead of turning everything into a discussion about Terminator. 🤖
This might be my favorite part of the post: ❣
Talking about ML does tend to be a hunt for metaphors, but I prefer the metaphor that this gives you infinite interns, or, perhaps, infinite ten year olds.
ML is amazing, but it isn't omnipotent or truly intelligent in the way we would probably consider the meaning of that word (at least our limited, ego-driven meaning of it). Yeah, it can be like a superpower, but its superpower is that it's the quietest assembly of unlimited 10 year olds you've ever (legally) put to work. ⚡

I'm not often one for shortcuts, but this post is about a major one: Cake Mix. I love baking, but honestly, I hate making cakes and cupcakes from scratch. I also hate using those boxed cake mixes! I feel like you can never really be sure what exactly is in them in plain English, and since I don't know exactly what Polyglycerol Esters Of Fatty Acids is (are?), I'll leave it out of my baking, thankyouverymuch.
But this brings us back to the original issue — I just don't like making cakes from scratch. So you're thinking, "Awesome. Cake Mix. Why bother? Making cakes from scratch is easy". Sure it is, but this is more than just a short cut. This isn't just any cake mix; it makes the perfect cake or cupcake. Like a bakery, or dare I say … better. Plus, it's great to use in all those recipes that call for a boxed cake mix, except you'll know exactly what's in it.
I'll also take this opportunity to toot my own horn and tell y'all that this is the mix that I used to make some Bourbon and Candied Bacon Vanilla Cupcakes about a month ago that won best overall in a cupcake competition. So maybe the award was in an office competition, but that's a minor detail. The competition was stiff!
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/3 cup instant dry milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Whisk all ingredients together. Store for up to three months in a mason jar or sealed baggie.
To Prepare:
In any recipe requiring cake mix, 2 cups mix replaces 1 box of cake mix
- 2 cups cake mix
- 1 stick melted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla ( I always use Nielsen Massey Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Paste. It's vanilla bean scraped into their already amazing vanilla extract. And no, I wasn't paid to say that. It's just really really amazing stuff.)
Fold all ingredients together, then beat on medium for two minutes.
Bake at 350.
For 2 round cake pans: 15 minutes.
For (24) standard sized cupcakes : 18 minutes.
