Alyssa Goodman is the Robert Wheeler Willson Professor of Applied Astronomy at Harvard, co-Director for Science at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, and Research Associate of the Smithsonian Institution.
Alyssa utilized OmniGraffle to create the brilliantly informative and aesthetically beautiful Path-to Newton project which visualizes the prevailing thought patterns and discoveries leading up to Sir Isaac Newton's discovery.
You can find Alyssa on the web at her Harvard page.
Some other people, places, and things mentioned:
Andrew J. Mason: You're listening to the Omni Show. Get to know the people in the stories behind the Omni Group's award-winning productivity apps for Mac and iOS. My name's Andrew J. Mason and today we're talking with Harvard professor, Alyssa Goodman about her use of OmniGraffle.
Andrew J. Mason: Welcome everybody back to the Omni Show. Today, we have Alyssa Goodman, who is a professor of applied astronomy at Harvard University. She's also the co-director for science at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, and she's a research associate for the Smithsonian Institute, and from what I hear, a very smart individual. Alyssa, thank you for joining us today.
Alyssa Goodman: Thank you very much. I'm excited to hear what we're going to talk about.
Andrew J. Mason: For our audience, one of the reasons we asked Alyssa to join us on the show is because she has developed this phenomenal, phenomenal data visualization, including Isaac Newton and how he came to his discovery, including many, many significant data points. And it could be so complex and it has so many data points, but it's so beautifully designed and aesthetically pleasing, that the right information just kind of pops out to you. So this massive project with many data points, all designed in OmniGraffle and so beautiful and we wanted to talk about that.
Andrew J. Mason: But before we head there, Alyssa, do you mind sharing with people how you kind of got to where you are teaching at Harvard and kind of in your current field of study?
Alyssa Goodman: Sure. I started out life in physics. All my degrees are in physics. I wound up in astrophysics through climate change. We can talk about that later if you want. But anyway, I became a professor in 1992 in astronomy at Harvard and yeah, I'm much older than I look. Anyway, so I came to Harvard in 1992, joined the faculty and I had a lot of interests in data visualization. And our dean in the 90s was Jeremy Knowles who found out about these interests and encouraged me to pursue them.
Alyssa Goodman: And ultimately, I started teaching data visualization at Harvard and made a lot of friends in that world. And we started a project called astronomical medicine, where we were using medical imaging software to look at high dimensional astronomy data. And that's turned into something called Glue, which is a whole other story, not what we're talking about today, but it means I have a sort of side career in data visualization, as well as astrophysics.
Alyssa Goodman: But what does that have to do with the Path to Newton or prediction, which is what I think we want to talk about? Well, the answer is I mentioned that I got to astrophysics through climate change and that's because I was an intern at Columbia, NASA Goddard at Columbia University in 1983, with none other than Jim Hanson. James Hanson is the person most famous for sounding the alarm about climate change simulations way back in the 80s, being something that we should pay attention to. And so I started being very interested in computer simulations and climate change and worried about climate change.
Alyssa Goodman: And again, what does that have to do with the Path to Newton or prediction? The answer is, in 2008, when I was done with a job leading a Scientific Computing Institute at Harvard, I took a sabbatical at WGBH, a public television station in Boston. And they asked while I was there, what I thought the most important thing that the public doesn't know or appreciate about science is, and would I like to work on that. And I said, "Oh, that's easy. The value of computer simulation." And they said, "Tell us more." And I said, "Well, the future of the world depends on the joint action of climate simulation, financial simulation, global health simulation, something that's very relevant right now. And people don't even really know what simulation is and they certainly don't teach it in school."
Alyssa Goodman: So my very smart colleagues there said, because I also used the word modeling and they said, "Do you mean 3D models? 3D printing?" I said, "No, no, no, that's not what I mean. I mean, forecasting, weather forecasting, but for climate, for the economy." "Oh," they said. And so over the course of that year, which was 2008 to 2009, might notice that the economy collapsed, there was a swine flu epidemic, oh and climate change kept going.
Alyssa Goodman: So we eventually designed a project that year, that morphed years later into what's now called the Prediction Project to explain the value of modern predictions, where you can associate uncertainty with them and numerical data driven prediction and where that came from, historically. And so we go all the way back to Mesopotamian sheep entrails and priests reading entrails on the ground.
Alyssa Goodman: And in between Mesopotamian sheep entrails and modern climate change simulation is a long time and we wanted to highlight kind of where you go from just kind of having observations and data about the universe and speculating about it, to having real predictive, mathematically instantiated theories, like the theory of gravity. And so Newton's theory of gravity in all of science, is probably the most robust and predictive theory that we have. So we decided to trace the history of that back to its origins and that's where the Path to Newton came from. And I think you have some specific questions about that.
Alyssa Goodman: But the Path to Newton is part of this giant prediction project, which arguably started a little over a decade ago and now consumes, I don't know about a third of my research life. And what we do, is we have a big online site where people can learn about prediction. We have formal online courses through edX and LabXchange, and we have two flavors of prediction classes at Harvard. One is a freshman seminar and one is a so called general education class, which is a broad class for undergraduates.
Andrew J. Mason: Okay, great. So we see this love of data visualization, all of these details, starting to work together. And can you talk to us a little bit about how does this lead you to the Path to Newton?
Alyssa Goodman: Okay. Sure. So basically, I have a bad memory and I'm not a historian. And luckily, my daughter is a historian, so she's taught me some things about how to think about history and how not to impose your own ideas and collect information, but really I have a terrible memory. And so we were trying to collect information in a narrative format about, if you started with Newton and you went backwards, what is it that Newton had to know in order to create his predictive theory of gravity? Now he did also invent calculus on his own in order to make that work, but that's a side point. Let's just say you get to the birth of Newton, what was known that was useful to Newton?
Alyssa Goodman: And there's a famous quote attributed to Isaac Newton about how he stood on the shoulders of giants. But it turns out that he actually made that statement if he made it at all, ironically about Robert Hook and was a dig. But let's pretend that it wasn't ironic. The idea was to figure out who those giants and what the giant ideas were and to see how far back we could go.
Alyssa Goodman: And ultimately, two diagrams were created. One is the Path to Newton and I'll explain how OmniGraffle played into that. And another one is something that we now call the Padua Rainbow, which I should also show to you and you don't need any fancy graphical software to make or see that. But it basically shows how you go from a world where you just kind of start noticing things around you, to where you record observations, to where you actually sort of make rules about the way the world works, to where you make real predictive theories and explanations. And so that's a sort of separate conversation.
Alyssa Goodman: But you asked what the elements are of the Path to Newton, and the answer is we were trying to find those kinds of events. Where did the observations come from? Where did people start writing them down? Where do they make rules about them? Were these ideas and rules and data, was it right? Was it wrong? Was it helpful? Was it unhelpful?
Alyssa Goodman: If you go back to ancient Mesopotamia, if I look here at the Path to Newton, the oldest date we have on here is 2000 BC. So, if you go 4,000 years of the history of the kind of physics that leads to Newton's theory of gravity, it's kind of hard to remember what happened, no matter how good a writer you are. And so we worked with some writers and it just wasn't going really well.
Alyssa Goodman: And so one day, my colleagues at HarvardX, which is the part of Harvard that makes content for edX, they basically dared me to show them what I meant, in terms of how this history of ideas worked. And so I can give you for your website, if you want, the whiteboard diagram that I drew almost from memory after doing a bunch of reading and research about this history. I drew a bunch of bubbles on a whiteboard and a bunch of arrows and a bunch of this person was important. And every once in a while, I'd have to look up a date on Wikipedia, because like I told you, my memory is really bad. When did Ptolemy actually live? How do those circles go again?
Alyssa Goodman: And so I made an exception rudimentary version of this, what you see now as the Path to Newton, and the huge swats of it were missing. For example, I didn't know much about India and Indian mathematics, I just knew it was important. And I only knew about sort of Avicenna center or Avicenna, depending on how you say that. I knew a little bit about the history of Islamic science as it related to medicine, but I didn't know much about physics. And so anyway, there were big blank pieces, okay? But all this stuff about Aristotle or whatever, eventually connected to all this stuff about Copernicus. So it was very Western centric, Western thought centric, which is terrible.
Alyssa Goodman: But anyway, so then we gave this diagram, which they were kind of surprised I could draw. So they saw that I wasn't sort of blowing smoke, to a writer, to a professional writer and he tried to write something which was just so over simplified in order to be possibly followed, that it wasn't bad, it just didn't capture all the information.
Alyssa Goodman: So, I went on sabbatical in 2017 and I was at a beautiful apartment in Vienna, Austria. And I'm sitting there with a bunch of history of science articles and with this article that the writer wrote and with OmniGraffle, knowing that I had OmniGraffle for other projects that I'd used it for in small ways. And I started just for myself, trying to build something in OmniGraffle so that I could understand A implied B and B implied C, but C doesn't really imply D and C kind of went to E, but then E came back to D. And it was so not linear that you really needed OmniGraffle or something that could connect a lot of dots.
Alyssa Goodman: But then what you also needed was the ability to kind of filter this information and to turn layers on and off, like, let me see all the ideas that were right, or let me see all of the ideas that were wrong. Or let me see what the Greeks did compared with what the Egyptians did. And so I used the ability to have layers and grouping and art boards and all that kind of stuff in OmniGraffle to experiment with filtering.
Alyssa Goodman: And it turns out that, that filtering, we eventually wanted to offer in the online tool that you see now, but we worked with a graphic designer to really fix up what I had done. So her name is Katie Peek. And so what I had done, some scientists might think look nice, but nowhere near as nice as what Katie Peek has created, the beautiful pink and green and brown and et cetera diagram that you see now.
Alyssa Goodman: So, but it turns out that all of that grouping and that filtering kind of capability of OmniGraffle was really useful to me in sorting out the information for myself. But then it turned out a really good graphic designer could use symbols about colors for which ideas were right and shapes for which were ideas and which were books later on, so that not as much filtering was actually necessary.
Alyssa Goodman: There were elements of the project that really are kind of a timeline. And so if you look at the top, there's stuff about the history of mathematics and the history of instruments and how do different instruments play into the story. And those are just kind of slightly straightforward timelines and we just use bars to show them.
Alyssa Goodman: But it's also interesting that in that same year, 2016, '17, I was on this full sabbatical and I was hanging out with a lot of humanities people at Radcliffe, and I was, and still am involved in something called the timeline consortium, where we're building a standard for time tag data, thankfully with support from the Sloan Foundation and there's a lot of big organizations that you've heard of, who were involved in using this timeline standard. And we were really talking about comparing linear series of events. You have the history of Mayan culture and the history of Greek culture, and they didn't happen at the same time, but you want to be able to have two timelines and slide them and be able to compare them and scale them.
Alyssa Goodman: And so we thought that was already pretty flexible trying to do that, but the historians said, "Well, wait a minute, what about more of a kind of mental map of a history of ideas? And then you need these connections between timelines that happened simultaneously in different parts of the world." And I was like, "Oh my God, we can't build that into the standard."
Alyssa Goodman: But what's really interesting is that the way that the Path to Newton came out, it's not a timeline. It's exactly what these historians were asking for. It's a kind of logical history of ideas that sort of has a timeline component, but doesn't. And so it's funny because I'm working now with people at Eon Timeline in Australia, as part of this timeline consortium, who are using the standard. And I'm thinking that version two of our prototype timeline software should integrate with OmniGraffle and actually let you have this kind of history of ideas, be a kind of very, very sophisticated timeline. So I'll have to talk to Kent about that.
Andrew J. Mason: Poor Kent. I feel like every single show I've been doing from here on out has somewhere embedded had a product feature or request put into it. But what's amazing about this document, is how you achieved this marriage between a beautiful display of sequential information. I mean, there's a wonderfully displayed timeline, but there's also this associative component to it, where you're jumping in a way that makes sense to the brain. There's so many data points there, but your mind just doesn't get overwhelmed by seeing it all. It makes sense when you look at it.
Alyssa Goodman: Well, right. So we also used the features of OmniGraffle that let you link things. So each one of the bubbles and each one of the pictures of people links out to a webpage ... Sorry. Well, originally we did it that they linked out to web pages that describe the individual events. But now, you'll see that we have this JavaScript tool, where we've embedded the actual output of OmniGraffle into one side of a two paneled JavaScript set up, that the left hand side is the narrative that the writer let's say, would have been trying to write a long time ago. But without the visual, really doesn't make sense. And by the way, what the writer had written that I was working with in Austria, was about six pages long. And if you print out the whole narrative on the left hand side, it's 40 pages long. By the way, the person who made that beautiful JavaScript work is named Francisco Ortiz. So shout out to him.
Alyssa Goodman: Anyway, what we decided to do was link from the diagram into places in the document, and then to link out from the document to deeper, richer information, rather than sending people from the Path to Newton out, mostly not directly to the web. The exception to that is, at the bottom, there are a bunch of books, historical books, and Harvard's library is trying to be very generous and they are in the process of scanning, they've gotten quite far, all of the books that Harvard owns that are on the Path to Newton, and making them publicly accessible in an incredible viewer that lets you zoom in and out and see the ink stains on the page. And also, they've done character recognition on all of them. So now there's this very rich resource for historians of science and for people who are just interested, where they can get to the original manuscripts, going back to the 1400s.
Andrew J. Mason: What advice might you have to somebody who's just getting started in this idea of data visualization? OmniGraffle is an amazing tool; it has so much capability. But if you don't know necessarily where even to begin with visualizing data or how to visualize data, this field is changing all the time. Like you mentioned, when you first got started there 1992, what's changed since then? There wasn't even an iPhone or commercial internet; it was just getting started. So it keeps moving all the time. Do you have any tips for people that are just kind of getting started?
Alyssa Goodman: We have a blog, actually we can plug our blog. We have a blog called 10QVis.org; that stands for 10 questions to ask when you want to create a visualization. And so we have a bunch of examples there, and we have a bunch of categories for people who are both new and not new, to think about it, to think about whether they have addressed those questions.
Alyssa Goodman: The one thing that's important about visualization, is that it's not an exact science. And a lot of people who come to me and want advice on visualization, want me to give them some kind of prescription. And it's kind of like the difference, this is an analogy I can give you that people might understand.
Alyssa Goodman: There are two kinds of people who use computers; two general types. The ones who want the instruction manual, and like, "Where do I click? And what do I do? And what is the order of things that I must do?" And then there's other people who just kind of mess around. And if you're going to do, I don't know, accounting, it's really good to be the first kind of person you don't want to be messing around. You want to follow some rigorous system, right? But if you're going to do science or if you're going to do data visualization, you really need a hybrid of both of those things. And in data visualization, it's even more the latter, the kind of mess arounds.
Alyssa Goodman: Some people comes to me like, "What color should I make this line?" And it's like, "Well, that depends on what you do with the rest of it." And so there is some sort of golden rules that you get from people like Edward Tufte, things like a data ink ratio, and you don't want to have a lot of ink compared to the amount of information; ink being pixels that aren't blank. The information you're showing, you don't want to have extra lines on a page because they make your brain vibrate and show you things that you don't want to be focusing on.
Alyssa Goodman: And so there are cute little kind of cognition tricks, and I don't mean to it in a demeaning way, I mean, in a easy to remember way. And for those, I would really recommend Edward Tufte's work. Our blog, the 10QVis blog. There's a little bit more directed toward people who are making visualizations that involve large amounts, or not even large amounts, but some amount of real data. So less information visualization and more quantitative data visualization. And in the visualization world, it's called scientific visualization.
Alyssa Goodman: But one thing that's interesting, is that people tend to separate words and pictures. And so I just use three terms that get used in the visualization community that I think should be banned as separate things, and that community itself is coming around to not doing this, but they used to treat information visualization separate from data visualization, separate from scientific visualization. Okay. And so the kind of thing that the Path to Newton represents would be information visualization, information graphics. An XY graph would be data visualization. A 3D plot of something, like a 3D view of a tumor or something in a medical scenario, that would be scientific visualization.
Alyssa Goodman: But the important part is that software like glue, like what we're trying to do and what you see and also the Path to Newton, is not separate those three parts; the sort of text data and spatial visual. We don't want to separate those parts of people's brains. We want to let them use them all together. And so that's why the Path to Newton has a textual narrative and a very interactive graphic, where you can kind of remember where you were in the chart, you can see the chart. But then you can also just directly go back and forth. So you can click on the text and go to the chart, click on the chart, go to the text.
Alyssa Goodman: And what glue does, just because you asked, is it does that, but also includes sophisticated kinds of data visualization. So graphs, and plots, and maps, and charts and things that people think about as let's just say, very sophisticated versions of the kinds of graphs you could make in Excel. Or if the listeners are familiar with Tableau, it's like Tableau, but it understands 3D volumetric data and arbitrary 2D maps and things like that.
Alyssa Goodman: So we could actually make a version of the Path of Newton in glue, but that would be serious overkill. We have not done that. But anyway, I guess the sort of shtick here is to not separate graphical views of things from narrative discussions or word-based discussions from data driven displays of information. And the only data aspect of the Path to Newton, is the fact that it's a timeline, or it's like a timeline; there is a sequence of real times.
Andrew J. Mason: Well, Alyssa, after knowing you for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, right now, as far as I can tell, you are the person that ranks at the top of the list of people I know, in terms of knowledge of data visualization. So I have a question about, what do you see at the forefront of this field? What's coming down the pipeline in the next 5 to 10 years. Do you have an inkling as to what that could be, what the field looks like?
Alyssa Goodman: Yes. And we're working on it right now, actually. And I think not enough people are working on it and so I do hope a lot of people hear this, okay? So in the gaming industry, there are amazing, very fast 3D graphics and there are controllers to let people move around in three dimensional environments. In the kind of visualization that's important to surgery and to understanding high dimensional data in other nonmedical sciences, for example, in my astronomy work, we studied the structure of the galaxy. And if people want an example of what this 3D visualization looks like, they can go Google the Radcliffe Wave, which is some work we published earlier this year that got a lot of publicity, so it's easy to find the interactive graphics that go with it.
Alyssa Goodman: But anyway, what we did there, is look at data in 3D and learned something new about the structure of the galaxy and we're doing that more and more. And clearly, I mean, you certainly can think about surgical applications for this kind of thing. And so what does this have to do with gaming? Well, you might've seen for example, that the HoloLens from Microsoft gets used to kind of train surgeons with virtual surgery or even gets to overlay information. So mix augmented reality, right? So mix the real world that you see with projected information in 3D and tell the surgeon where to cut and things like that.
Alyssa Goodman: And that's great and very high tech and has specialized applications. And we own a HoloLens, We have an Oculus, we have all kinds of things, but the device that makes me happiest these days, is called a Merge Cube and it's just a rubbery cube that has different patterns painted on the side. And what is this for? It's for, if you want to show, and I'll use the medical example, because it's easier for people to understand than the galaxy or the solar system. Well, actually no, let's talk about the solar system because it's less gross, okay?
Alyssa Goodman: So let's say, and I can actually show you this now, but it's a podcast, so I won't. But I have my phone and I have this cube in my hand. And on my phone, I have an app which will project virtually the solar system onto the cube that I'm holding in my hand. So I look at my phone or my iPad screen, and I make sure that the camera of the device sees the cube. And then I can project the solar system so that the solar's the cube in the view of my camera. So I see my whole office and this cube turns into a three dimensional moving model of the solar system. And then I tap a button on the phone to say, "Stamp that there, leave that there," and then I don't even need the cube anymore. And I can just move the phone around it as if I have this mixture, this so-called augmented reality of a world of data and a world of the actual world around me.
Alyssa Goodman: And so everybody knows how to move a phone around in three dimensions or move an iPad. Yes, you can do this with goggles as well, but you don't really need the goggles to do it. And so, one of the things we're doing is for example, we're adding to glue the ability to just tear off a window that has your beautiful 3D data in it and have it basically floating in the room and you can walk around it.
Alyssa Goodman: And then ultimately, we want to be able to make it so that people can make selections of regions within that data and can manipulate it in very sophisticated ways. And that's where we are looking at things like game controllers and gesture based controls. And so, a lot of people have seen Minority Report and so, some combination of voice control and gesture control.
Alyssa Goodman: But it turns out, we've been looking into this for a decade. And one thing we know, is that we need something that people are willing to do that doesn't involve a lot of special equipment or a lot of money or going to another room. And I think that game controllers might work for some people, but things like a decorative cube that costs $20 that you leave on your desk is probably more likely to work with somebody's phone and their iPad.
Alyssa Goodman: And so I think that's a very long winded answer to your question, but the short version is we have to make more use of the high dimensional nature of the rich data sets that people have these days and simple devices like people's iPhones and little anchoring cubes, like for example, this Merge Cube, can make it possible for them to use these devices that they have just kind of lying around, to have a really rich interaction with their data. So I think that taking some of that richness, that's been developed mostly for the gaming world into the world of science and medicine would be fantastic, and so we're working on it.
Andrew J. Mason: That is so cool. Talk to me, I know this is a little bit like my question previously about where to begin, but I hope you hear maybe the nuance in it. What do you do with somebody who says, "I just don't know where to go next with how I'm looking at this data." Any ideas on how to have maybe fresh eyes in being able to develop their data further?
Alyssa Goodman: Yeah. I have a colleague who actually was the original developer with another person, so the two people are Chris Beaumont and Tom Robitaille. And so Chris Beaumont was a graduate student here at Harvard and he was here when the phrase big data became very popular, and he used to like to use the word wide data instead of big data. And what he meant by that, and the answer to your question about what more can people do with their data, is consider the interaction of many different data sets.
Alyssa Goodman: So you don't necessarily need one monolithic, giant data set, but it might be more interesting ... Let's say you're doing some, oh, I don't know, epidemiological study, and you have numbers about case counts for, oh, I don't know, say COVID-19. And you have those numbers, but then you also have information about the demographics of particular neighborhoods. And you have information about genetic variability by age for some trait, but you have ages from the demography file and you have ages from the medical records. And what if you wanted to link together these three different data sets by age and see if there's any kind of weird correlations between genetics and location and COVID exposure or COVID susceptibility, or something like that.
Alyssa Goodman: Well, so normally you'd have to build some gigantic, so-called big data file. But not to plug glue again, but that is what it's for. So it glues together different data sets as well as different plots. And so Chris and Tom Robitaille were really the young scientists at the time who said, "This really is about the connection between different data sets and different resources and we should make that easier." If they find a way to connect different data sets and different kinds of information, kind of like what you see in the Path to Newton. In other words, you connecting their textual information, literary information, ideas, biographies of people. It's not quantitative data, but it's different kinds of information, and that's the value. It's not just a giant biography of everybody on that chart. It's a biography along with a history of ideas.
Alyssa Goodman: And so, in the COVID example, it's like, "Well, I don't just want death counts or case counts, I want to know about these people." And well, it might be hard to combine all that information, but if you use software and visualization creatively, you can make these combinations today. That would have been really, really hard to make, even 15 years ago.
Andrew J. Mason: So almost cross sectioning and slicing the data. I can almost see a 3D version to see a perspective you haven't seen before.
Alyssa Goodman: Exactly. And so when we say high dimensional, we don't mean ... And that's the thing about not using the term scientific visualization to mean literally visualization of three dimensional or four dimensional spatial data. You can make dimensions out of anything you want. And the software that does the best job of that is really Tableau. And some people have a hard time figuring out Tableau because of that model where everything is kind of a dimension or a measure. I'll leave that comment for those who know how to use Tableau. But there's a paper called Polaris, which was the visualization paper that was written before Tableau that really lays that out quite well for people who are very interested.
Alyssa Goodman: And so yes, that idea of cross sectioning information is very valid. And what I'm saying is that in addition to that, you want not to have to merge all the information into one giant data structure, which is what most people think you have to do, so they don't do it. And so the advice I could give, is learn how to use tools that let you integrate different data sets and have different views of them, because you can learn much more from wide data than you can from big data. So thank you, Chris Beaumont.
Andrew J. Mason: Alyssa, I can't tell you how thankful we are that you decided to join us on this show. Do you have any final thoughts or words of wisdom for people that are just kind of moving forward in the state of the visualization field?
Alyssa Goodman: I can tell you that the reason that the website for Path to Newton is not called Path to Newton, but it's called pathto.org, is that it turns out that this format is of interest to other people. And so we're currently working on the Path to Darwin, which you see a little bit about on the website.
Alyssa Goodman: I think it's much more interesting to learn about science if you actually understand why people did what they did in order to get to the results that they have, whether they're right or wrong. And so, people in the history of science have thought that for a long time, but teaching actual science, not the history of science, alongside of its history, I think is going to be a really valuable new approach. And tools like Graffle and the Path to website and that kind of JavaScript integration of texts and graphics, makes it a rich experience.
Alyssa Goodman: The Prediction Project has a lot of video and there are links out to video from the text in the Path to Newton, and there will be in the Path to Darwin as well. So it basically takes all the kinds of modes of learning that people can have and mixes them together so that people can kind of choose their own adventure is the phrase people like, to go learn it however they like. And I think that's what really excites me about a kind of technology and learning, not porting PDFs and lectures to the web.
Alyssa Goodman: And that's great in terms of making material accessible to people who it was not accessible for before, but I think tools like what we're talking about here, make it a richer experience, where you can learn more in a more fun, shorter amount of time. And sometimes it's really important, like in case of epidemiology and sometimes it's just enriching, like the Path to Newton.
Andrew J. Mason: Alyssa, we are so honored that you joined us on the show. Thank you so much for your time here today. And I just foresee the audience gaining so much knowledge and insight from your time with us, so thank you for that. As always, thank all of you for listening today. This has been just such a cool show to be a part of, and we're just so grateful to have it keep going. If you want to keep up with us and what we're up to, check out the Omni Group at omnigroup.com/blog, or head to @theOmniShow on Twitter.

LISTEN: Meredith Shock Writes the Ultimate 'Happy Songs'
Summertime means a lot of fun songs are being released from both major label and independent artists in every genre. Nashville songwriter Meredith Shock has followed suit, and released "Happy Songs" to capture that feeling.
This mid-tempo bop was recorded at Magic Square Recording with producer Jordan Grubbs. The result is a country-meets-70s pop/rock production that sounds like an unreleased Colbie Caillat track, and I am here for it. The lyrics paint a perfect picture of the feeling you get when you go for a drive, cruising to your favorite music on a summer day.
When I asked Meredith her inspiration for the song, here's what she had to say:
"I was inspired to write 'Happy Songs' when I was driving to work on a Tuesday morning and I started listening to the radio. There was a love song that just made me happy, because it reminded me of how a person was making me feel. I couldn't help but smile and think 'Wow! She's got me singing along to the happy songs I'm listening to.' It kind of was full circle, writing a happy song about singing along to happy songs. But, I think that happens when you love someone and you just relate to a song; sometimes, that just makes you happy, so I wanted to write about that moment. Considering some of my songs definitely aren't always that happy [laughs], I wanted to release something that was!"Meredith Shock, on 'Happy Songs'

Be a light bringer, let it freeze or like breeze through your finger let it slip, sleep not on it nor let it slip a knot on you, 'cause its a hole deep and steep and you might slip, like a bird on a tree ready to fly away, be joyful like friday.
Like a serpent be wise, make your own paradise, though price high and wages won't rise, conflict reprise is not the option nor a skin lotion, or love potion, making it your portion is a mental concoction and a frequency distortion
Hold yourself dear, not a deer to a hunter's light peer, avoidable pain bear, causes wear and tear, be strong, eschew fear, clear off in your highest gear, don't stay, nor make it a life's way, a tree in stormy weather sway, away you fly off from a hostile bay
To journey alone you don't need a loan nor mortgage that makes you age, caged bird's loss of freedom perpetually in rage, enrage would get you derange, hurry, do not tarry being happy is your right, flight from misery let it be his story not your history
Being in my World is actually like being on a voyage with a Small boat. Small enough to navigate most difficult strait, large enough to survive a tempest. My leaning is toward extraction of knowledge from within myself and encouraging others to do the same. For this reason i describe myself as an Educator. Educator in the old fashion usage of the word in the sense of bringing forth knowledge from within by the recognition that every sentient being is a repository on primal knowledge of Self, Nature, Time, and the primeval Source of manifestations.

Breakout board based on the integrated analog / digital converter MCP3221 (SMD type SOT-23-5) of Microchip. The integrated allows the A / D conversion with a resolution of 12 bits (4096 steps) as a function of the supply voltage. If the device is powered at 5 V, the extension of the dynamic range at the input is 5000 mV then the translation, intended as a voltage value corresponding to the smallest portion sampled (one bit of the 4096 possible) is obtained by the ratio 5.000 / 4.096, or Vdd / 4,096. The maximum input voltage for the conversion, is also a function of the supply voltage. Specifically, the voltage on pin AIN may be at most that of the supply voltage. The A / D converter has an output type I²C-Bus running clocked at 100 kHz in the I²C Standard Mode and up to 400 kHz in fast mode. The sampling at a maximum rate of 22.3 ksps in I²C Fast Mode. The breakout board is interfaced with Arduino without the aid of any specific library, as it uses the Wire library already available basic IDE. The integrated used can be programmed with its own address between 8 available, so you can use up to 8 boards connected to the same communication lines SDA and SCL. Power connections, which digitize the analog input signal and the I²C bus are made available through the connectors on the side of the card; the same is repeated on a row of pitches to 2.54 mm prepared to mount a pin-strip that allows the quick breakout board on the electronic board where you want to add the ADC.

The Breakout board
|The breakout board are prototyping boards that contain the affected component already welded, whose connections are brought outside whisker of connections that can be used easily by step and termination; generally connections are pitches to 2.54 mm, such as those of the classic integrated DIP. To help those who would like to use SMD components but does not have the means or the skills to weld, they identified a number of integrated (including sensors, switching power supplies, chargers, linear amplifiers etc.), And mounted on bases ready for use. These breakout board are both a help for those who want to have ready in a "traditional" format ?? the best SMD electronics, and for those who-while managing to work with components SMD- need to have these items available on prototyping boards to apply to existing circuits and do tests, or to build prototypes that integrate the functions of its integrated, before making the final printed circuit of an apparatus.

68-year-old regulates traffic for 4 hours daily in Mumbai's Nalla Sopara
Ramdayal Yadav has been regulating traffic after his son's death in an accident
Retired army man Ramdayal Yadav, 68, voluntarily regulates traffic near the crowded Nalla Sopara (East) police station every day.
He served in the Indian army as a cook from 1962 to 1982. He opted for voluntary retirement service after the death of his son in an accident at Bhayander. He has three daughters, of whom one is widowed, who is the one he lives with.Before moving in with her to Nalla Sopara in 2013, Yadav lived in Kandivli, where he first began to regulate traffic after seeking permission from the police. "Owing to heavy traffic, people used to honk a lot near my house. When I found out that only one traffic constable had been stationed in the area, I decided to do something about it," says Yadav.
After shifting, he sought approval from the Tulinj police station to continue the practice. "This daily routine keeps me physically and mentally fit," said Yadav. Since Yadav is not authorised to fine motorists, Yadav alerts the traffic officials when he notices anyone flouting traffic rules.
Kerubhau Kolhe, senior police inspector, Tulinj police station, said, "He has made our job easier, given that it is difficult to manage traffic in this area. Yadav stands near the police station for four hours every day. Thanks to him, motorists are beginning to obey traffic rules."

NASA and ESA are working with the British Antarctic Survey to study how humans survive conditions resembling a long duration spaceflight or staying on the Moon or Mars. Fortunately, there is somewhere on Earth where people are as isolated as astronauts – Antarctica.
During Antarctica's long winter, people on the Concordia research station feel as if they are on another planet. There are sub-zero temperatures, it is difficult to breathe inland as the air is so thin, and some parts of the continent are cut off for months on end, leaving people isolated with no way home.
In this film ESA medical doctor, Beth Healey (who spent a year on the continent) uses a video diary format to describe what it was like to overwinter on the Concordia station. The psychological and physiological challenges are similar to those experienced by astronauts on the International Space Station and will help assess how people will perform on future missions to the Moon, Mars or beyond.

Being Ananias
I try to read some of the Bible each day. Sometimes I don't get much out of it. Other times characters come to life and stir my imagination. That happened when I read about Ananias last week.
His name came up in the daily readings as our lectionary makes its way through the New Testament book of the Act of the Apostles. That book tells the story of the early church. If the book were a movie, Ananias would not even be considered for supporting actor. He gets a cameo role at best. He fails to qualify for Andy Warhol's fifteen minutes of fame. You get the idea. But without him, or someone like him, the story of the church would be really different.
Here's a recap of his story which you can find below. Ananias lived in Damascus, at the end of the road where Saul (henceforth referred to as Paul) had a dramatic conversion experience. On that road, Paul became a penitent former-persecutor of Jesus (which is one definition of a Christian, according to the theologian James Alison). Paul was struck blind in the conversion process and stumbled his way into town, where he starts praying. Ananias hears a call from God to go and bring healing to Paul. Ananias wonders if the call is a wrong number, as is true in many biblical accounts of call stories. Ananias knows of Paul's reputation as someone out to get Christians. It was not safe to be around Paul. Ananias could not believe Paul could be changed. But God's voice spoke of Paul's mission. So when God told Ananias to go, Ananias went. He prays with Paul, helps him regain his sight, baptizes him, welcomes him into the community.
I don't think we hear about Ananias again. But he's been on my mind and in my imagination. I sense he has lessons for me this Monday morning. Maybe they'll resonate with you as well:
Ananias says "Here am I." Somewhere in his inner being there was a willingness to be of service, even if he has no idea what that would look like. In what sense can I say "Here am I" today?
He listened for God's voice. Somehow he was paying attention enough to hear God ask him to do something totally counter-intuitive. What would it look like if I was that spiritually attentive today? How can I pay more attention? Some call it mindfulness.
He changed his own mind. At first, he was not open to going, but he was on some level a learner. Where do I find the courage and humility to recognize that a course correction might be in order?
He believed Paul could change, or at least, be changed. Do I deny the possibility that others can change? Or is it just easier for me to slot folks into categories?
He is willing to see possibility, no matter how unlikely that potential was. Do I have the trust and the courage to see a threshold where most people see a dead end?
He welcomes Paul, providing a pathway for Paul's inclusion in the community. He could have tried to get revenge. He could have savored resentment. It was within his rights. He could have set up litmus tests. He could have stood in the way. But he opened the door. Where am I being called to that kind of ministry?
The fact that we know little about Ananias allows us to wonder, in a way that challenges our faith this morning. His story calls us to think about how we might be useful in someone else's life, for God's sake.
Who are the people who have been like Ananias for you?
Is there a way that you can be Ananias for somebody today?

Government announces support for air transportation sector during COVID-19 pandemic
News release
March 30, 2020 - Ottawa, Ontario - Department of Finance Canada
The Government of Canada is taking strong, immediate and effective action to protect Canadians and our economy from the impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The air transportation sector has been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As governments around the world impose border restrictions and advise their citizens against non-essential travel to protect people's health, the sector has faced significant declines in air passenger traffic, staff layoffs, and grounding of planes.
Today, Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced that the government is waiving ground lease rents from March 2020 through to December 2020 for the 21 airport authorities that pay rent to the federal government. The government will also provide comparable treatment for PortsToronto, which operates Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport and pays a charge to the federal government. This support will help airports reduce cost pressures and preserve their cash flow as they deal with the effects of COVID-19 on their revenue streams. This will provide relief up to $331.4 million, reflecting payments in the same period of 2018.
These measures are part of the Government of Canada's COVID-19 Economic Response Plan - a comprehensive plan to help ensure that Canadians can pay for essentials like mortgages, rent and groceries, and to help businesses continue to pay their employees and their bills during this time of uncertainty.
The government continues to assess and respond to the impact of COVID-19, and stands ready to take additional actions as needed to stabilize the economy and mitigate the impacts of the pandemic.
"We recognize the impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have on people and the economy, and that certain sectors, such as the air transportation industry, have suffered tremendously. As we have said since this crisis began, we have Canadians' backs and stand ready to do anything and everything in our power to support those who are suffering. The support provided today is the next step in Canada's COVID-19 Economic Response Plan to help workers and businesses get through this unprecedented time of turmoil."
Bill Morneau, Minister of Finance
"From March to December 2020, the Government of Canada intends to waive rent for the 21 National Airport System airport authorities, and will provide comparable support to Billy Bishop airport. We want to provide relief for these important entities who are still open under difficult circumstances, and are helping to help bring Canadians home. We are appreciative that they continue to support the flow of people and goods during this challenging time."
Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport
Quick facts
The 21 airport authorities that will receive relief are:
- St. John's International Airport Authority
- Gander International Airport Authority Inc.
- Halifax International Airport Authority
- Charlottetown Airport Authority Inc.
- Saint John Airport Inc.
- Greater Moncton International Airport Authority Inc.
- Fredericton International Airport Authority
- Aéroport de Québec Inc.
- Aéroports de Montréal
- Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport Authority
- Greater Toronto Airports Authority
- Greater London International Airports Authority
- Thunder Bay International Airports Inc.
- Winnipeg Airports Authority Inc.
- Regina Airport Authority
- Saskatoon Airport Authority
- Edmonton Regional Airports Authority
- Calgary Airport Authority
- Prince George Airport Authority Inc.
- Vancouver International Airport Authority
- Victoria Airport Authority
Relief will also be provided to PortsToronto, which operates the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport and pays an annual charge to Transport Canada based on the revenues it earns under the terms of its letters patent.

Part 1 of this drug diversion blog series focused on the ways healthcare workers gain access to and redirect controlled substances. Part 2 explored the actions hospitals are taking to address the problem. In this blog post, we're taking a look at why some hospitals may be slow to act, and what happens when their response is delayed.
Drug diversion denial
Drug diversion has the potential to compromise patient safety by increasing the likelihood of tampered or diluted drugs will be administered to the patient. This could lead to increased risk of patients being exposed to infectious disease or experiencing inadequate sedation/analgesia. It also damages the lives of healthcare providers who are diverting medications and has a negative impact on hospital reputations. So why are some hospitals reluctant to take action?
According to a recent survey of more than 650 hospital executives and providers, many are in denial about substance use and drug diversion in their own hospitals. The study found that 26% of executives and 29% of providers mistakenly believe that substance use is less prevalent among hospital employees than in the general population. While 85% of providers are concerned about the problem of drug diversion and misuse – and 50% report observing suspicious behavior – less than 20% think drug diversion could be a significant problem at their facility.
Training is key
Although 60% of providers in the survey said they had participated in drug diversion training or discussed the problem at work, the remaining 40% reported having no formal training to help them recognize or address the issue. However, education is key to helping healthcare providers identify the warning signs of drug diversion and possible addiction. When healthcare workers are informed, they can report their observations and reports of suspicious behavior can be investigated by examining ALL the related data. This includes patterns of activity in the electronic health record (EHR) associated with medication ordering, dispensing, and administration as well as documentation of care provided.
Significant impact
When healthcare organizations fail to train their employees and put in place adequate controls to prevent and report drug diversion, they can face serious legal, operational, and regulatory sanctions from the DEA, state and local authorities. Instead, healthcare organizations must put in place and enforce a comprehensive drug diversion management program that involves operations, compliance and internal audit functions. Effective diversion prevention programs should primarily focus on the movement of controlled substances through their facilities. However, they may need to expand scope to pay special attention to the use of high-cost medications and performance-enhancement medications to thoroughly assess possible diversion.
Given the absence of adequate monitoring and controls, drug diversion can occur and persist. Below are a few examples of healthcare organizations where diversion occurred and resulted in significant negative impacts for the healthcare system:
- A medical center in Dallas failed to notify the federal Drug Enforcement Administration about missing painkillers, sedatives and other addictive drugs. Two of the hospital's nurses died of overdoses and two other nurses were arrested for stealing drugs.
- One hospital in Atlanta reported an estimated loss of more than one million doses of controlled substances, resulting in a three-year probation of its pharmacy license and a $200,000 fine from the Georgia Pharmacy Board.
- A hospital in Massachusetts reported the theft of more than 16,000 pills and paid $2,300,000 to settle its case with the Department of Justice (DOJ) for failing to have appropriate controls in place to comply with the Controlled Substances Act.
- A multi-state health system reported the theft of more than 20,000 pills and settled its case with DOJ for $1,550,000.
Technology solutions
Across the country, many healthcare systems are using technology solutions to track patterns that can uncover drug diversion. Analytical software tools can speed up the monitoring and detection process by allowing timely review of data. In Part 4 of this blog series, we'll delve deeper into how hospitals are using technology to help prevent and detect drug diversion.

World Bulletin / News Desk
An accused ethnic separatist said Friday he is willing to negotiate with Nigeria's government over his trial for treason and related offenses.
"Nnamdi Kanu is not averse to a political solution in resolving the present politically orchestrated ordeal. Nnamdi Kanu welcomes a genuine political solution to this case," his lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor told a news briefing in Abuja.
But he added that negotiations can only take place after Kanu has been released from the detention he has been in since last October.
Kanu, an ethnic Igbo seeking to carve out a separate country for his kin in Nigeria's southeast, is being tried for treason, operating an illegal radio station, and leading a subversive group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The lawyer added: "Kanu will not renounce his ideology, IPOB is bigger than him. He cannot say yes or no to renouncing it. But he is opened to political resolutions of the problem."
He stressed, "But Kanu must be released unconditionally."
Nigerian courts have repeatedly refused Kanu's application for bail due to the gravity of the treason charges against him.
The Igbo are considered one of Nigeria's three main ethnic groups.
The online CIA World Factbook estimates the Igbo population at 18% of Nigeria's total population of 182 million, or approximately 33 million people.

Barcelona legend, Xavi Hernandez, has decided to turn down the opportunity to replace Ernesto Valverde as the club's manager immediately, according to ESPN.
Following two days of phone calls and meetings, Xavi who is currently in charge of Al Saad, told Barca sporting director Eric Abidal and CEO Oscar Grau, that he was opento the possibility of joining the club in the summer.
It is believed that Valverde's job was not in immediate danger, following a 3-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final.
But Barca changed their minds and sent Abidal and Grau to hold meetings with Xavi.
Xavi however prefers to take over from the start and not in the middle of a season.
Valverde is expected to take training on Monday morning with his squad.


text: Hi there guys, One of my apps uses a great deal of files and check their lastmodified timestamps, as I guess many other do. When I was profiling it, I noticed that it was taking a great deal of time, getting the lastmodified attribute, so I gave it a look. And I found out that internally mono uses UTC time, meaning the libs always get the LastWriteTime in UTC. Then they convert it to LocalTime before any usage. Meaning that if the required is UTC, its converted back to UTC. That is two unnecessary conversions. I have run some tests (100000000 times getting the LastWriteTimeUtc), and have found out, that it wastes about 10% converting back to LocalTime. I don't have a number on the conversion from utc to localtime, but I seen that you use some tricks on the DateTime.Now, so I would guess that it isn't that light either. I know that an optimization of 20% is close to nothing on things are are very little used, like file manipulation. I don't know if this was intentional ou its simply a mistake, as it in fact allows to simplify the implementation, but why isn't utc used instead of local? The same happens with the other GetLast*Time and SetLast*. I haven't proposed a patch, because I don't know it makes sense to fix this or not. I would appreciate your comment on this. Thanks, SpigaZ out. PS: Here are some snippets of the code in question. //// File.cs: public static DateTime GetLastWriteTime (string path) { MonoIOStat stat; MonoIOError error; CheckPathExceptions (path); if (!MonoIO.GetFileStat (path, out stat, out error)) { #if NET_2_0 if (error == MonoIOError.ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND || error == MonoIOError.ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) return _defaultLocalFileTime; else throw new IOException (path); #else throw new IOException (path); #endif } return DateTime.FromFileTime (stat.LastWriteTime); } public static DateTime GetLastWriteTimeUtc (string path) { return GetLastWriteTime (path).ToUniversalTime (); } // DateTime.cs public static DateTime FromFileTime (long fileTime) { if (fileTime < 0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException ("fileTime", "< 0"); return new DateTime (w32file_epoch + fileTime).ToLocalTime (); } #if NET_1_1 public static DateTime FromFileTimeUtc (long fileTime) { if (fileTime < 0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException ("fileTime", "< 0"); return new DateTime (w32file_epoch + fileTime); } #endif

The TV show "Loki" takes place from the moment Loki is given the opportunity to steal Tesseract. As soon as he moves to another dimension, unknown people attack Loki. They call themselves TVA – Time Variance Authority. These people work outside of space and time to preserve the true history. But what does it mean?
"Loki ss 2": release date, announcement
Thanks to a colossal budget, favorite actors and talented off-screen staff, the sequel to the TV series "Loki" will be released in 2023.
Even before the release of the season 1, the creators of the picture announced the development of new episodes. But the shooting of the season 2 started only in June 2022, so the premiere of new episodes is unlikely to take place before the summer of 2023.
p.s. The premiere of the season 2 of the TV series "Loki" is scheduled for release on October 6, 2023!
Project "Loki" refers to the Phase Four of the MARVEL Universe, which will end in 2023.
Being vile and vindictive from childhood, Loki never enjoyed great love from his father Odin, who later gave the throne to another son, Thor. Envy often accompanied the relationship of the brothers, but if Thor was fond of pranks, then Loki seriously tried to unleash all kinds of misfortunes on the head of a relative.
So many years have passed, the parents have long been dead, and evil forces have invaded the planet. The interests of Thor and Loki constantly clashed. But one day Loki crossed all the boundaries and had to be detained. Standing in handcuffs, the protagonist gets a fleeting opportunity to take advantage of the situation. With the help of a magic stone called Tesseract, he is teleported to another world. And immediately becomes a hostage …
The Time-Keepers hang a collar on him, forcing him to pass all sorts of tests, after which his fate must be decided in court. While awaiting the verdict, Loki gets to know the world he is in. The bureaucratic system works well, but it also contains many errors that oppress workers.
At this time, one of the best TVA detectives Mobius decides to get to know Loki better and tries to take him straight out of the courtroom. Thanks to his acquaintance with the judge, Mobius succeeds, and he decides to talk with his ward. In this world, the detective deals with the most dangerous criminals as Loki.
By showing the villain how his fate would end, Mobius hoped to impress and succeeded. But such a hindrance as the approaching death did not upset Loki, who managed to escape from the detective. Only the death of his mother made him return and think about the deeds he had done, because he was indirectly guilty of her death.
Which side will the main character take now? Will he be able to fight on the side of TVA or will he continue to commit atrocities? The hunt for him is open, but Loki is not going to give up, because there are many exciting discoveries ahead of him!
Actors and their roles
- Loki – for some time led Asgard in the absence of his brother; committed many crimes, for which he was wanted both in time and outside it; got to TVA, where he saw that magic did not work and had to adapt to everyday life; cannot accept the idea that he helped the killers of his mother find her – Tom Hiddleston.
- Mobius – investigates crimes committed in time; became interested in the new ward, since he appeared in many cases; has a personal relationship with the judge who helped Loki's exit from court; tries to force Loki to side with him – Owen Wilson.
- Sylvie – Loki in female form; is a negative character; trying to destroy the Sacred Timeline – Sophia Di Martino.
Interesting Facts
- Work on the "Loki" project began in 2020, but was suspended in March due to the coronavirus. They returned to filming only in September of the same year. Atlanta, Georgia was selected as the location. The first season started on June 9, 2021, with a total of 6 episodes of 45 minutes long. Season 2 will consist of 10 episodes.
- Tom Hiddleston, the leading actor, has been considering the possibility of further working on his character for several years, and MARVEL not only supported his idea, but also helped to make the actor's dream come true. Tom was given the chance to become the centerpiece of his own project.
- Loki's character is also known to appear in other TV shows filmed for Disney +. MARVEL is preparing to release several more projects, some of which have already been rumored in the press. The scene from the movie "Avengers: Endgame" with the theft of Tesseract was not originally intended as a continuation of Loki's storyline. After 6 years, the first thoughts appeared regarding the TV series.
- It was originally planned to show Loki as an insignificant character in history, because at the time of recent events he was more than 1000 years old. However, during his long life, he had something to tell the audience. The second version was the development of his relationship with Thor, but finding it uninteresting, the writers decided to show adventures out of time.

How to Uncover Your Standards of IntegrityOctober 27th, 2007 by Ryan
As we step into our roles as men of integrity, it becomes natural for us to live by our own internal code of ethics. A set of values and standards from which every decision, every situation, and relationship stems from.
What is integrity? It is defined as "Steadfast adherence to a code of values; completeness and soundness; virtue. I define it as being "true to the wholeness of one's own Self".
"How can we develop our own code of ethics, our standards of integrity, to guide our life?
The following is a workshop to uncover your own standards of integrity from the book "The Energy of Money" by Maria Nemeth. It will take approximately 10 minutes, at the end of which you will have your own personal set of standards to live by for the rest of your life.
Step 1: Take out a clean sheet of paper. On the left side, write down the names of all the people who have qualities you admire. The following is a list to help you brainstorm.
- Family; cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, parents, siblings.
- School; teachers, mentors, classmates.
- Friends; from childhood, work, school, clubs.
- World Leaders; spiritual, political, professional.
- Athletes; professional, Olympic, from your school.
- Healers; doctors, practitioners, psychics, therapists.
- Musicians & Artists; actors, singers, dancers, rock stars.
- Fictional; from movies, stories, religions, cultures, books.
Step 2: Review the list. Look at the first name on the list and write down all the qualities that you admire in that person, one per line. Then go to the second name, and write down all the qualities you admire in them.
If there are any qualities that they both share, simply put a check next to that quality. Don't worry about having the qualities line up next to the names, just write them all out. Do this for each name so that certain qualities begin to have lots of check marks next to them.
Here is what it will look like:
Step 3: Now that you have a list of all the qualities you admire. Look at each quality for a moment and consider the following:
When I read this word, does my heart seem to tingle or open? Do I get excited and want to be around people who have this trait?
Your heart is your guidance system. When it finds anything that resonates with your inner being, it will light up and give you that exciting blissful feeling inside your chest.
So, for each word that gives you this type of reaction, put a star next to it. When you are done, write all the qualities with a star on the new sheet of paper.
Step 4: Review the list. Each quality that you've put down is highly significant to you. Your heart reacts strongly to these qualities because it has receptor sites for each one.
You have these qualities within you.
If you didn't, then your heart would not react to them. Because you can see these qualities in others, it means they exist inside you. These qualities describe your authentic nature.
Step 5: Print the list on a card. At the top write "These are my Standards of Integrity" and at the bottom write, "I know these are mine because I can see them in others."
You can laminate it and carry it with you or place it in on your work desk. If you feel stuck, confused, or unmotivated, re-read it. These words will evoke power within you, your seeds of greatness.
Stumble it!

I really like the line, "I know these are mine because I can see them in others."
I suppose it's easier to see things objectively in others than ourselves, and I also tend to believe that we tend to project ourselves out psychologically.
Whether my reasoning has merit or not, your idea does. Keep writing!

This has been such a helpful post for me so I thank you very much. I really appreciate the list of people and other touches of genius. You have really done some piece of work here. Thank you.
I've even explored further with this by creating my own unique characatures for each quality I find admirable. For example, I value "proactive determination and resilience", but I give this quality a kind of character by calling it "The Practical Dreamer", sort of like an archetype. And, like an archetype, it can be used for communicating with and learning lessons. This is just something to I'm playing around with. I feel like I'm too into it now lol it's just so great.
Thanks again.

I like how you write 'seeds of greatness'.
First, nothing starts from big things already, every success does indeed come as a fruit of labor. Also, pen is a good instrument to start your thoughts clearly.

"Don't ever give up hope, stay healthy," Marianne Simion wrote to her mother Emma Warschauer in April 1942. Marianne had fled from Berlin to England in 1939, where she now worked as a kindergarten teacher. Through a Red Cross letter, she was able to reestablish contact with her mother, who was living at a Jewish nursing home in Berlin, and let her know she was alive.
The Red Cross Message Service
The International Red Cross began setting up a message service in 1936. Red Cross letters enabled emigrants to stay in touch with relatives who had remained in Germany or had already been deported, even if they could not use the regular postal service. From 1940 onwards, corresponding by regular mail with countries at war with Germany was prohibited.
Hidden Information
Family members were allowed to write messages of up to twenty-five words on a standard form, but it often took several months for the messages to reach their recipients. Fearing censorship, the letter-writers used harmless-sounding phrases to relate bad news. For example, relatives' deportation was often described as a "trip" or "emigration."
Deported to Theresienstadt
When Marianne received no word from her mother for several months, she sent another message to her mother's address in August 1942. This was answered anonymously: "Unfortunately, your beloved mother emigrated to Theresienstadt in late June." Mother and daughter stayed in contact through Red Cross letters until April 1943. In January 1944, Emma Warschauer died in Theresienstadt at age 82.

Village Church raises $66,000 for homeless veterans
A "Drive-By Drop-Off" of gently used furniture and household supplies to help homeless vets has sparked a wave of donations for the Village Church Homeless Veterans Initiative. Since donors drove to the church on Saturday, Sept. 26 – and received a free car wash -- the church has collected $66,000 in addition to a truckload of furniture and household goods for veterans moving into apartments across North County. Under the direction of church deacon Jason Karches, volunteers ages 8 to 80 washed more than three dozen cars and assisted Interfaith Community Services of Escondido with the collection of living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom items needed to set up a home. Social media spread the word and checks started arriving from near and far.
"Village Church cares about our veterans," said the Rev. Dr. Jan Farley, associate pastor. "The ongoing support we receive for our Homeless Veteran Initiative shows how much the community appreciates the men and women who have served our country."
The Homeless Veterans Initiative continues to accept online donations at https://villagechurch.org/give/online-giving or checks can be sent to the Village Church, Box 704, Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. 92067 (please add on memo HVI for Homeless Veterans Initiative).

A New Jersey aluminum products manufacturer entered into a settlement agreement with OSHA Jan. 4, affirming a $1 million fine and accepting 15 repeat and 55 serious violations stemming from a series of injuries at its Delair, NJ, plant.
Aluminum Shapes LLC also agreed to implement enhanced abatement measures to address the violations.
Those measures include developing a comprehensive safety and health plan, adding more employee training and retaining a full-time safety professional with experience in lockout/tagout and confined space compliance, according to a Department of Labor news release.
History of noncompliance
The company has a long history of noncompliance with the current settlement agreement coming after it was fined $1.9 million in 2017 after OSHA's eighth visit to the Delair facility since 2011.
In those intervening years, the agency cited Aluminum Shapes for 60 violations with fines totaling $516,753.
Confined space safety, machine guarding ignored
During the 2017 inspection, OSHA learned that two employees were hospitalized after two separate incidents at the facility, which led to chemical burns and broken bones.
The first incident occurred when workers entered a tank to drain residual sludge containing sodium hydroxide, aluminum oxide and decomposed metal. They reported to their supervisors that they were experiencing burns to their skin from the chemicals, and they were directed to re-enter the tank.
This led to one worker being hospitalized.
In the second incident, a machine operator suffered a broken pelvis after being caught between the unguarded moving parts of a metal fabrication machine.
The company challenged the violations stemming from these incidents – leading to the current settlement agreement – which included failure to:
- provide appropriate PPE
- conduct air-monitoring prior to permit-required confined space entry
- have an attendant during permit-required confined space entry
- complete a required confined space entry permit to identify, evaluate and control hazards in the space
- provide confined space training
- utilize proper lockout/tagout (control of hazardous energy) procedures
- provide workers with locks and hardware to lock out equipment being serviced, maintained, or repaired
- lack of specific procedures for the use of blocking devices
- utilize group lockout procedures, and
- train workers in lockout/tagout.
Employees lost jobs following 2017 fines
Following the 2017 fine, the company announced 51 layoffs, which amounted to about 13% of its staff.
Aluminum Shapes said in a statement at the time that the "onerous" OSHA fine forced it to "undue the growth" in employees made between 2015 and early 2017, in which it added more than 100 workers to its staff.
The statement also said the company cared deeply about employee safety and had invested "time and money toward safer production processes and equipment."

Cadillac, Michigan Speed Traps
Mitchell St. & River St.
The city police like to sit in the Mancino's parking lot at night and clock people on Mitchell Street; the intersection of Mitchell & River is where the speed limit drops from 35 to 25.
North Blvd.
North Boulevard all the way from downtown Cadillac to Cadillac West is 25mph; anywhere along this route is bait for city police. One particular spot is near Kenwood Rd. (the dirt road near Laura Lee's Landing) where there aren't a lot of houses and feels much more rural; Kenwood is well-hidden from North Blvd. and you can't see the cruiser until it's too late.
Plett Rd.
from Diggins Hill to 13th St.
Haynes St
Police will sit on either side of the road near AAR facing the high school (especially during the school year) and catch speeders, etc. It's only 25 through there, but most go faster than that.
Downtown Mitchell St
The city cop likes to hide behind the Vogue Cleaners store on the west side of Mitchell St. He is often there between 5:30 and 7:30 AM pulling over people on their way to work. He will have his car behind the building with just the nose showing so he can shoot at cars that are going down Mitchell St.
