I Messed Up.
There's just something about student government types. As this week's guest will tell you, and MJ can attest, there's often one big misconception floating around out there about them. More often than not, we peg these student leaders as the folks who have it all planned out; they're typically credited with having their lives under complete and total control. This is false. While student leaders can usually put on a good front when it comes to playing up the poise, we're all in the same boat when it comes to navigating this grand journey that we call life. That means that we get caught up in all the same rip tides and under currents, too. Chief among these is the tendency to compare ourselves to others as they breeze past us on this journey. Biographies and polished Facebook profiles can leave us feeling like our own plans have capsized on top of us. As this week's guest, Brian Shea, reminds us, however, it's not even a race to begin with; the course is ultimately ours alone to chart.
Wake up.
Eat breakfast.
Get ready for the day.
Go to school.
Do homework.
Go to practice.
Do more homework.
Watch television.
Go to bed.
Yikes, even just typing my daily high school schedule is making my skin crawl. Some people crave routine – it allows them to structure and balance their lives in a predictable way. I'm not one of those people. I like to keep myself on my toes, and that's part of the reason why I found my college experience so liberating. If I wanted to be a night owl, I could schedule my work and classes for later times. If I wanted to wear sweatpants to class, I wasn't going to get detention for violating a dress code. If I wanted to make grilled cheese for breakfast, there were no parents there to yell at me. The world was my oyster.
You may not know me by name, but if you've gone to college, you know me. I was that guy who would wake up and start working at an ungodly hour, get involved in a bunch of student organizations, say hello to everyone who passed by, find a pun for every situation, and fake a coughing fit when walking behind cigarette smokers. (I know, we're a dime a dozen.) While my Outlook calendar was usually more colorful than my social life, I was doing things that I loved. Outside of the classroom, things like Relay For Life, service-learning, and student government took up most of my time. I had always aspired to do great things in the world, and now that college was giving me the opportunities, I wasn't going to just turn them down in order to have more free time! That sounded like a silly idea to me. I had enough free time. I was in "achiever mode." I liked it. No need to change.
You're probably guessing that I'm going to regret that last sentence. Not yet. Actually, going into my senior year, my "achiever mode" was still a source of happiness for me. As a marketing major, I knew that I probably wouldn't secure a full-time job offer until the spring (at the earliest). I was fine with that. In September, however, I was informed that an insurance company was taking applications for two marketing-related positions that would start the next July.
Cool. Awesome. Why not apply, right? If I get an offer, I can always turn it down. I'd be stupid to not at least throw my hat in the ring. Definitely. Great.
I applied for both positions, interviewed for both positions, and received full-time offers for both positions. It truly seemed like the company wanted me. They offered me a great starting salary, there was ample room for growth, and it was located right where I wanted to live. After a few days of deliberation, I accepted one of the job offers.
I shouldn't have.
As I mentioned before, I always wanted to do great things, and I wanted to do them really well. I wanted to be successful. Unfortunately for me, a few years of "achiever mode" had caused me to lose sight of my definition of "success." I was comparing myself to others instead of comparing myself to the person I was yesterday. When considering the job offers, I was placing stock in things that truly didn't line up with my values and goals.
Have you ever heard that song, "Successful," by Drake and Trey Songz? The lyrics say, "I want the money, money and the cars, cars and the clothes." While that may be their vision of success, anybody who knows me realizes that I never spend money (even gift cards – I still have some Blockbuster ones!), I drive old and economical cars, and I am the least fashion-forward person on this side of the Mississippi. My definition of "success" probably isn't the same as Mr. Songz' or Drizzy's, but at some point while I was in "achiever mode," I had evidently lost sight of it. I had strayed from my progression toward my ideal self, and I spent the rest of my senior year trying to figure out what my career goals actually were.
Eventually, in the spring, I settled on one: I want to make the largest possible positive impact through my work.
Awesome. I found myself. This is the happy ending, right? Well…not exactly. While I realized I probably wasn't going to fulfill my career goal through my entry-level marketing job at an insurance agency, I didn't have any other options. Even though I had plenty of confidence and a great deal of conviction, throwing away a high-paying job without any semblance of a backup plan wasn't the easiest thing in the world. Nonetheless, that's what I did – four days before I was supposed to start.
Now, objectively speaking, how much does that SUCK for the company? This college kid makes a commitment to you in the fall, you've done all your onboarding work, you've prepared to train him as soon as he walks through the door, and four days before the big day, he bails on you! That's horrible. If I had told them, "thanks, but no thanks," from the get-go, they could have invested their time and resources in somebody else. They told me that in an e-mail, and they were absolutely right. I deserved that blame. With that being said, I don't regret my decision for a second. In fact, it's been the best decision of my professional career.
Later that month, I found a job at a non-profit organization that could help me to achieve my goals. Perhaps more importantly, I was well-suited to help the organization further its mission. In my final interview, the hiring manager asked where I saw myself in five years. My response? "I don't know what position I'll hold or how much money I'll be making, but in five years, I want to be making the largest possible positive impact through my work."
Two and a half years later, I'm still at that company, still in the same job, and still trying to be better than the person I was yesterday. I'm far closer to my ideal self than I was three years ago. (Don't think I have myself fooled – I'm absolutely not perfect, and I certainly never will be, but I won't let that stop me from striving to get better.) In my view, I've switched from "achiever mode" to "achieve mode." I'm now focusing on the verb. I'm chiefly concerned about the impact of my work. I'm defining "success" in my own terms. I'm not comparing myself to others. I'm laser-focused on what I want to accomplish, and I'm pursuing it with passion, enthusiasm, and a heck of a lot of caffeine.
On my desk at work, there is a note that says "DGB." It stands for "Do Good Better," and every day when I sit down and fire up my computer, that is exactly what I'm trying to do. That (and a side of Pepsi) is what keeps me going every day. That is my goal. What is yours?

Options to start Thriving as an Introvert
Group Workshops
A few times a month, I host short online workshops. Mostly, we're 4-10 in the group so you'll receive individual attention. This is a great option for those who can't afford private sessions, or if you want to get a sense of the work I do, and how I work. And if you're an introvert who doesn't like large crowds, this will really help to set you at ease.
Currently there is a Tapping Circle once a month, and other short workshops from time to time. Register for a Tapping Circle with this link.
I also collaborate with other awesome presenters on topics that will interest introverts – for instance "How to Have a Difficult Conversation with Courage" Here is a list of all current short workshops (90 minutes). You can register directly from there.
Work with me in Private Sessions
Because I believe you're unique, I offer various options starting from 3 weeks, to longer 6 month support.
Heal Recurring Patterns
Are you in a place where something uncomfortable, sad, annoying, hurtful or scary keeps happening and you're just DONE with that now?
Meet your Unique Strengths
What would it mean to you to FINALLY let go of comparing yourself with others, and accept and acknowledge your beautiful uniqueness?

I. The sun was going down on the Dedlow Marshes. The tide was following it fast as if to meet the reddening lines of sky and water in the west, leaving the foreground to grow blacker and blacker every moment, and to bring out in startling contrast the few half-filled and half-lit pools left behind and forgotten. The strong breath of the Pacific fanning their surfaces at times kindled them into a dull glow like dying embers. A cloud of sand- pipers rose white from one of the nearer lagoons, swept in a long eddying ring against the sunset, and became a black and dropping rain to seaward. The long sinuous line of channel, fading with the light and ebbing with the tide, began to give off here and there light puffs of gray-winged birds like sudden exhalations. High in the darkening sky the long arrow-headed lines of geese and 'brant' pointed towards the upland. As the light grew more uncertain the air at times was filled with the rush of viewless and melancholy wings, or became plaintive with far-off cries and lamentations. As the Marshes grew blacker the far-scattered tussocks and accretions on its level surface began to loom in exaggerated outline, and two human figures, suddenly emerging erect on the bank of the hidden channel, assumed the proportion of giants.
When they had moored their unseen boat, they still appeared for some moments to be moving vaguely and aimlessly round the spot where they had disembarked. But as the eye became familiar with the darkness it was seen that they were really advancing inland, yet with a slowness of progression and deviousness of course that appeared inexplicable to the distant spectator. Presently it was evident that this seemingly even, vast, black expanse was traversed and intersected by inky creeks and small channels, which made human progression difficult and dangerous. As they appeared nearer and their figures took more natural proportions, it could be seen that each carried a gun; that one was a young girl, although dressed so like her companion in shaggy pea-jacket and sou'wester as to be scarcely distinguished from him above the short skirt that came halfway down her high india-rubber fishing-boots. By the time they had reached firmer ground, and turned to look back at the sunset, it could be also seen that the likeness between their faces was remarkable. Both, had crisp, black, tightly curling hair; both had dark eyes and heavy eyebrows; both had quick vivid complexions, slightly heightened by the sea and wind. But more striking than their similarity of coloring was the likeness of expression and bearing. Both wore the same air of picturesque energy; both bore themselves with a like graceful effrontery and self-possession.
The young man continued his way. The young girl lingered for a moment looking seaward, with her small brown hand lifted to shade her eyes,――a precaution which her heavy eyebrows and long lashes seemed to render utterly gratuitous.
"Come along, Mag. What are ye waitin' for?" said the young man impatiently.
"Nothin'. Lookin' at that boat from the Fort." Her clear eyes were watching a small skiff, invisible to less keen-sighted observers, aground upon a flat near the mouth of the channel. "Them chaps will have a high ole time gunnin' thar, stuck in the mud, and the tide goin' out like sixty!"
"Never you mind the sodgers," returned her companion, aggressively, "they kin take care o' their own precious skins, or Uncle Sam will do it for 'em, I reckon. Anyhow the people――that's you and me, Mag――is expected to pay for their foolishness. That's what they're sent yer for. Ye oughter to be satisfied with that," he added with deep sarcasm.
"I reckon they ain't expected to do much off o' dry land, and they can't help bein' queer on the water," returned the young girl with a reflecting sense of justice.
"Then they ain't no call to go gunnin', and wastin' Guv'nment powder on ducks instead o' Injins."
"Thet's so," said the girl thoughtfully. "Wonder ef Guv'nment pays for them frocks the Kernel's girls went cavortin' round Logport in last Sunday――they looked like a cirkis."
"Like ez not the old Kernel gets it outer contracts――one way or another. WE pay for it all the same," he added gloomily.
"Jest the same ez if they were MY clothes," said the girl, with a quick, fiery, little laugh, "ain't it? Wonder how they'd like my sayin' that to 'em when they was prancin' round, eh, Jim?"
But her companion was evidently unprepared for this sweeping feminine deduction, and stopped it with masculine promptitude.
"Look yer――instead o' botherin' your head about what the Fort girls wear, you'd better trot along a little more lively. It's late enough now."
"But these darned boots hurt like pizen," said the girl, limping. "They swallowed a lot o' water over the tops while I was wadin' down there, and my feet go swashin' around like in a churn every step."
"Lean on me, baby," he returned, passing his arm around her waist, and dropping her head smartly on his shoulder. "Thar!" The act was brotherly and slightly contemptuous, but it was sufficient to at once establish their kinship.
They continued on thus for some moments in silence, the girl, I fear, after the fashion of her sex, taking the fullest advantage of this slightly sentimental and caressing attitude. They were moving now along the edge of the Marsh, parallel with the line of rapidly fading horizon, following some trail only known to their keen youthful eyes. It was growing darker and darker. The cries of the sea-birds had ceased; even the call of a belated plover had died away inland; the hush of death lay over the black funereal pall of marsh at their side. The tide had run out with the day. Even the sea-breeze had lulled in this dead slack-water of all nature, as if waiting outside the bar with the ocean, the stars, and the night.
Suddenly the girl stopped and halted her companion. The faint far sound of a bugle broke the silence, if the idea of interruption could have been conveyed by the two or three exquisite vibrations that seemed born of that silence itself, and to fade and die in it without break or discord. Yet it was only the 'retreat' call from the Fort two miles distant and invisible.
The young girl's face had become irradiated, and her small mouth half opened as she listened. "Do you know, Jim," she said with a confidential sigh, "I allus put words to that when I hear it――it's so pow'ful pretty. It allus goes to me like this: 'Goes the day, Far away, With the light, And the night Comes along――Comes along―― Comes along――Like a-a so-o-ong.'" She here lifted her voice, a sweet, fresh, boyish contralto, in such an admirable imitation of the bugle that her brother, after the fashion of more select auditors, was for a moment quite convinced that the words meant something. Nevertheless, as a brother, it was his duty to crush this weakness. "Yes; and it says:'shut your head, Go to bed,'" he returned irascibly; "and YOU'D better come along, if we're goin' to hev any supper. There's Yeller Bob hez got ahead of us over there with the game already."
The girl glanced towards a slouching burdened figure that now appeared to be preceding them, straightened herself suddenly, and then looked attentively towards the Marsh.
"Not the sodgers again?" said her brother impatiently.
"No," she said quickly; "but if that don't beat anythin'! I'd hev sworn, Jim, that Yeller Bob was somewhere behind us. I saw him only jest now when 'Taps' sounded, somewhere over thar." She pointed with a half-uneasy expression in quite another direction from that in which the slouching Yellow Bob had just loomed.
"Tell ye what, Mag, makin' poetry outer bugle calls hez kinder muddled ye. THAT'S Yeller Bob ahead, and ye orter know Injins well enuff by this time to remember that they allus crop up jest when ye don't expect them. And there's the bresh jest afore us. Come!"
The 'bresh,' or low bushes, was really a line of stunted willows and alders that seemed to have gradually sunk into the level of the plain, but increased in size farther inland, until they grew to the height and density of a wood. Seen from the channel it had the appearance of a green cape or promontory thrust upon the Marsh. Passing through its tangled recesses, with the aid of some unerring instinct, the two companions emerged upon another and much larger level that seemed as illimitable as the bay. The strong breath of the ocean lying just beyond the bar and estuary they were now facing came to them salt and humid as another tide. The nearer expanse of open water reflected the after-glow, and lightened the landscape. And between the two wayfarers and the horizon rose, bleak and startling, the strange outlines of their home.
At first it seemed a ruined colonnade of many pillars, whose base and pediment were buried in the earth, supporting a long parallelogram of entablature and cornices. But a second glance showed it to be a one-storied building, upheld above the Marsh by numberless piles placed at regular distances; some of them sunken or inclined from the perpendicular, increasing the first illusion. Between these pillars, which permitted a free circulation of air, and, at extraordinary tides, even the waters of the bay itself, the level waste of marsh, the bay, the surges of the bar, and finally the red horizon line, were distinctly visible. A railed gallery or platform, supported also on piles, and reached by steps from the Marsh, ran around the building, and gave access to the several rooms and offices.
But if the appearance of this lacustrine and amphibious dwelling was striking, and not without a certain rude and massive grandeur, its grounds and possessions, through which the brother and sister were still picking their way, were even more grotesque and remarkable. Over a space of half a dozen acres the flotsam and jetsam of years of tidal offerings were collected, and even guarded with a certain care. The blackened hulks of huge uprooted trees, scarcely distinguishable from the fragments of genuine wrecks beside them, were securely fastened by chains to stakes and piles driven in the marsh, while heaps of broken and disjointed bamboo orange crates, held together by ropes of fibre, glistened like ligamented bones heaped in the dead valley. Masts, spars, fragments of shell-encrusted boats, binnacles, round-houses and galleys, and part of the after-deck of a coasting schooner, had ceased their wanderings and found rest in this vast cemetery of the sea. The legend on a wheel-house, the lettering on a stern or bow, served for mortuary inscription. Wailed over by the trade winds, mourned by lamenting sea-birds, once every year the tide visited its lost dead and left them wet with its tears.
To such a spot and its surroundings the atmosphere of tradition and mystery was not wanting. Six years ago Boone Culpepper had built the house, and brought to it his wife――variously believed to be a gypsy, a Mexican, a bright mulatto, a Digger Indian, a South Sea princess from Tahiti, somebody else's wife――but in reality a little Creole woman from New Orleans, with whom he had contracted a marriage, with other gambling debts, during a winter's vacation from his home in Virginia. At the end of two years she had died, succumbing, as differently stated, from perpetual wet feet, or the misanthropic idiosyncrasies of her husband, and leaving behind her a girl of twelve and a boy of sixteen to console him. How futile was this bequest may be guessed from a brief summary of Mr. Culpepper's peculiarities. They were the development of a singular form of aggrandizement and misanthropy. On his arrival at Logport he had bought a part of the apparently valueless Dedlow Marsh from the Government at less than a dollar an acre, continuing his singular investment year by year until he was the owner of three leagues of amphibious domain. It was then discovered that this property carried with it the WATER FRONT of divers valuable and convenient sites for manufactures and the commercial ports of a noble bay, as well as the natural embarcaderos of some 'lumbering' inland settlements. Boone Culpepper would not sell. Boone Culpepper would not rent or lease. Boone Culpepper held an invincible blockade of his neighbors, and the progress and improvement he despised――granting only, after a royal fashion, occasional license, revocable at pleasure, in the shape of tolls, which amply supported him, with the game he shot in his kingfisher's eyrie on the Marsh. Even the Government that had made him powerful was obliged to 'condemn' a part of his property at an equitable price for the purposes of Fort Redwood, in which the adjacent town of Logport shared. And Boone Culpepper, unable to resist the act, refused to receive the compensation or quit-claim the town. In his scant intercourse with his neighbors he always alluded to it as his own, showed it to his children as part of their strange inheritance, and exhibited the starry flag that floated from the Fort as a flaunting insult to their youthful eyes. Hated, feared, and superstitiously shunned by some, regarded as a madman by others, familiarly known as 'The Kingfisher of Dedlow,' Boone Culpepper was one day found floating dead in his skiff, with a charge of shot through his head and shoulders.
The shot-gun lying at his feet at the bottom of the boat indicated the 'accident' as recorded in the verdict of the coroner's jury――but not by the people. A thousand rumors of murder or suicide prevailed, but always with the universal rider, 'Served him right.' So invincible was this feeling that but few attended his last rites, which took place at high water. The delay of the officiating clergyman lost the tide; the homely catafalque――his own boat――was left aground on the Marsh, and deserted by all mourners except the two children. Whatever he had instilled into them by precept and example, whatever took place that night in their lonely watch by his bier on the black marshes, it was certain that those who confidently looked for any change in the administration of the Dedlow Marsh were cruelly mistaken. The old Kingfisher was dead, but he had left in the nest two young birds, more beautiful and graceful, it was true, yet as fierce and tenacious of beak and talon.

Kirkus Discoveries says of "Friendship on Fire"...
"In this easy-to-read self-help book, relationship therapist Miles offers a treasure map to happy,healthy relationships.Miles refers to a successful romantic relationship as a "friendship on fire" (from the famousunattributed quote), hence the book's title. According to the author, true love is a compassionate, sensualbond that lasts because you find your soul's true home with your partner. She believes that the friendshipoffers safety, while the fire provides the sparks, and that the secret is an equal partnership—both partiesare advocates and protectors for one other.
"Throughout the book, Miles provides suggestions and adviceon how readers can recognize their own friendship on fire. Alot of the material here is old-fashionedcommon sense—it often involves not only listening to what the other person says, but putting yourself intheir shoes so you can hear what he or she is getting from you. This premise appears to be based on thebelief that a person needs to understand oneself before he or she can hope to form a cohesive relationshipwith another. Miles also touches on the big stuff, like the death of a child, and the little things, such asbeing ignored at a spouse's company function, using realistic examples that allow readers to visualizethemselves in each scenario.
"But this is not a book to read straight through. Miles fills each section withhomework for the reader to complete alone or with a partner. For example, she suggests keeping a journal that can either be private or sharedwith a lover. As with any therapy, Miles believes that a successful relationship can only be attained if each participant does the work. Fuel for thought for a loving, lasting relationship."
"It is rare when one has the privilege to interact with an individual who has dedicated a career of 32 years to the betterment of our families and their precious children. Dr. Linda Miles is this person and I have had the honor of serving with her on Florida's Commission on Marriage and Family Support Initiatives."

Wilco – A.M. (Deluxe Edition) (1995/2017)
FLAC (tracks) 24-bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 01:11:07 minutes | 818 MB | Genre: Rock
Studio Master, Official Digital Download | © Rhino – Warner Bros.
At the beginning of the '80s, Green On Red (a group that emerged out of the Paisley Underground scene) rehabilitated the most rebellious country music. A few years later, other American indie rock groups enjoyed reviving the flame of this plague-stricken genre. Filtered over time and with a lo-fi aesthetic, this alternative country mixes the heritage of Gram Parsons with the Flying Burrito Brothers, Neil Young, the Byrds from their Sweetheart Of The Rodeo period and the Rolling Stones from Exile On Main Street. Led by Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy, Uncle Tupelo affirm themselves as one of the most gifted representatives of the genre. But the duo split, with Farrar leaving to found Son Volt and Tweedy heading off down the Wilco path. With A.M., the first shining album from his new combo which appeared in 1995, the songwriter from Illinois confirmed his talent in the art of fusing all his roots influences from the past by giving them a sound that's considerably rougher and more contemporary. Above all, Jeff Tweedy writes with a pen made of hardened steel. It follows that compositions such as I Must Be High, Casino Queen, Box Full Of Letters and Passenger Side are quick to forget their heavy influences (Stones, Parsons, Young…) and underline the talent of the gentleman. As well as the original album, this remastered Deluxe Edition offers eight bonus unpublished tracks such as first versions of Outtasite (Outta Mind) and When You Find Trouble, in fact being the last studio recording for Uncle Tupelo.

Life is progressing for you in ways that it has not done so in years. The pace is quickening and the changes more apparent. You will lose things or let go of things along the way – including relationships, beliefs, beliefs systems as well as ideas about what your life should look like. This is inevitable. The Wheel of Fortune turns up today to alert you that your life is in rapid movement towards the life that does belong to you. As you move forward, the load, that you have been carting around for years, is lessening and it will continue to do so until there is nothing left other than your true self.

The Boston Red Sox have a FAT $17 million contract on the books for whom else, but everyone's favorite player, Pablo Sandoval. Sandoval has disappointed Bostonians with his lack-luster play and his inability to admit that he is not fit enough to make it through the entirety of a season. So, the question remains. What will the Red Sox do with Pablo Sandoval?Embed from Getty Images
Rumors have been spreading over the past few weeks that the Red Sox could ship the third basemen back to San Francisco, where he won 3 World Series championships. For me, this is a dream come true.
The "Panda" as most people like to call him, was a complete marketing tactic from Red Sox ownership. At the age of 29, the Red Sox signed Sandoval to a 5 year $95 million contract. In previous years, Sandoval was a cornerstone to the Giant's three World Series titles, making the signing at the time understandable.
Once Sandoval reported to Spring Training in 2015 looking like he was 9 months pregnant, I knew the signing was going to come back and bite them. Signing a player near the age of 30 is risky, but signing a player near the age of 30 and 40 pounds overweight is another thing. From the start of Spring Training to now in 2016, Sandoval has looked nothing like he did in San Francisco.Embed from Getty Images
Sandoval has always had a big frame, carrying around a little extra fluff on the edges. In San Francisco this never stopped him from being a consistent player. Sandoval averaged around 16 home runs, 80 RBIs, and would hit close to .275. Once he landed in Boston, this all changed. The little extra fluff around the edges turned to a gut that rivaled a sumo wrestler. That extra weight hampered his play tremendously. Sandoval went down in every statistical category and spent more time on the DL than on the field. In 2016 Sandoval only played in 3 games, but still was paid $17 million.
The Red Sox have some major decisions to make. It will be exceptionally difficult to trade Sandoval away. Like I stated previously, the Red Sox have fielded offerings for Sandoval from the Giants. These talks are most likely nothing more than a rumor. No team is dumb enough to trade for a player that doesn't have a team friendly contract and can't hit out of a paper bag.Embed from Getty Images
The Red Sox need to utilize Sandoval the best they can. Sandoval will never play up to the contract that he has been given. I believe that he could be used in a spot start, either at DH or third base. Travis Shaw has run away as the starting third basemen and rightfully deserves that. If Sandoval plays every day he will be not only be endangering the team, but his health as well.
The Red Sox front office signed Sandoval to bring fans to the ballpark. The once talented third baseman with a cute nickname has now turned to an overpaid and overweight disaster. Sandoval's contract has restricted the Red Sox to make big moves and sign players that could put their roster over the top. It also may lead to their inability to sign young talent deserving of big contracts, such as Mookie Betts, Xander Bogaerts, and Jackie Bradley Jr. It is imperative for the Red Sox to utilize Sandoval the best they can and if they are given the opportunity to move him, they must capitalize on it.
The Red Sox are full of young talent and continue to improve. If the Sox want to be back in the playoffs for years to come, they will need to figure out what to do with their biggest problem, Pablo Sandoval.

"Ready ... Steady ... WAIT!!!!"
I heard the first major differences between the two "brands" of our mother tongue (which folks on both sides of "the Pond" still call "The Queen's English", God only knows why!?!) when I was a wee fellow of about four-years-old. My parents were really big into sports cars, and sports car rallys. These were all-night, balls-out auto races through the middle of nowhere...not so much for speed...but for accuracy in navigation, driving and timing. Dad would drive. My Mom, Grandma and I (along with others, all freezing our @$$es off!) would work one of the several "check-points" - usually some place chosen by the rally organizers to be as far from civilization as possible.
Grandma "manned" the "mark". When a car would approach our checkpoint, there was an invisible "boundary line" called the "mark". Grandma would sit in her metal folding chair, obscured from the view of the road by a manzanita bush or some-such desert chaparral, and say "MARK!!" as soon as the front bumper of the sports car crossed the invisible line.
She would have to speak into an old fashioned hand-held heavy black plastic telephone receiver that had about 50-yards of wire connecting her end to the main receiver at the "desk" (a folding table) at the actual check-in point - this receiver was usually manned by my Mom - who "marked" the time and recorded it on the clipboard-form carried by every navigator. This was in the day before "wireless" communication. Oh, there were "walkie-talkies" - but those could be carried by people in the cars, too...and since the location of the check-points was top-secret...nobody wanted unwanted chatter to get out into the airways...
Anyway...there are pictures of me as a baby sitting inside and atop of any number of my Dad's toys...a white MG TC, a British Racing Green MG TD. He was a big MG fan. I still remember my lessons. Without Googling... I can tell you that "MG" stands for "Morris Garage".
I learned that MG's did not have "hoods" and "trunks". Oh, no! The front one was called the "bonnet" - and the rear one, the "boot". MG's had "tyres" instead of "tires". When there was a bad wreck during one of the rallys (oh...the Brits would say "Rallye", but I digress) - you did not call the "tow truck" - rather you summoned a "recovery lorry". "Tyres" do not go flat...they get what's called a "puncture".
I have a feeling that Amy Suzanne and I are going to run into the same type of differences when we arrive in India. While most of the written/e-mailed correspondence we have had to date with the wonderful people in India have been just fine...there seems to be a similar "separation by a common tongue" in some of the instructions we have recieved. We have submitted and re-submitted visa applications and other important paperwork a few dozen times because the instructions given to us were so unclear. There seem to be an awful lot of people "in the loop", too....like a relay race where you are never sure who gets (or has!) the baton next. There seems to be far too much "on your mark, get set...WAIT!!" going on as well. There's a lot of stuff that couldn't be done before the last two weeks, anyway...but getting my multiple-entry travel visa squared-away is coming right down to the proverbial wire!!
As of right now...the final package of original signed documents is going UPS One Day Air Early Delivery (by 8:00 A.M.!!) to Houston. If tradition holds, this means I just might get my visa back in my hands the Friday night before we are due to leave. Today we made plans to talk to the Houston people, find out the actual location of my U.S. Passport ("...yeah...who's got the freaking baton NOW, Captain??") - and I may need to fly up to San Francisco to actually file for my travel visa in person!! Hopefully we will get this answer tomorrow morning and this will cut up to five days out of the process!!
Blimey! I do believe that I can just about see the finish-line up ahead through my "windscreen" !! It looks like I'm entering a bloody "roundabout". But I think I can make it!! That's if I don't run out of "petrol" first!

Musical Harmony and the "Seeing Harmony" Software
Traditional harmony theory is surprisingly complex, given that all we really want to know is why some chords sound so nice!
The short-cut to understanding is the acoustics of 3-tone combinations.
The Geometry of Harmony
Study of musical acoustics shows that there are two distinct components that cause the "instability" of certain chords. The first is "dissonance" ("sensory dissonance") and the second is "harmonic tension" (sometimes referred to as "musical dissonance"). Tension is a consequence of the relative size of neighboring intervals – as illustrated in the following Table and Figure.
What's the Big Deal?
The study of harmony perception has focused almost exclusively on interval effects. Basically, how much dissonance is contained in any chord? Clearly, total dissonance plays a role in the overall sonority of chords, but without the 3-tone "tension" factor, none of the mysteries of harmony can be explained (Annals of the New York Academy of Science, 2001), (Music Perception, 2009), (American Scientist, 2008) (Der Spiegel, 2008) (English translation of the Der Spiegel article).
And, if you've ever wondered what kinds of harmonic cadences your brain strongly responds to, read this article in
Seeing Harmony
Download some freeware [Windows
(ZIP version here) and Macintosh compressed version] that allows for the visualization of the (1) total dissonance, (2) total tension, (3) total harmonic instability, and (4) the major/minor modality of any combination of tones.

OSHA's New Data-Collection System: How To Prepare Ahead Of The December 1, 2017 Filing Deadline For Electronic 300As
Webinar: ID# 1026148
Recorded On-Demand
On-Demand ($149.00)
About This Course:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) just proposed a rule to delay the compliance date by which certain employers must submit their completed 300A form electronically from July 1 to December 1, 2017. It believes the delay will give the Trump Administration time to review the rule requirements published in 2016.
Following the close of a public comment period on July 13, OSHA's data collection system is expected to launch August 1, six months after the originally scheduled February 2017 launch date. And, assuming the data collection system launches as planned, you will only have a 4 month window of time to figure out how to electronically submit your 300A forms for 2016 injury and illness data.
Don't delay! Join us for a comprehensive webinar and live Q&A that will familiarize you with OSHA's new electronic reporting system so you're well prepared for the upcoming filing deadline.
You'll learn:
Whether your company must submit OSHA 300A forms electronically—and how to tell if your organization is exempt from the requirement
OSHA 300A form filing mistakes to avoid as you acclimate to the new electronic data-collection process
The 2016 injury and illness data that must be reported electronically
And more!

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects the basal ganglia, and whose incidence is growing in western countries. There has also been a gradual reduction in the average age of the disease's onset, which affects an ever more frequent age group of people still actively employed and working. In recent years the drug therapy has changed, giving patients with Parkinson's disease a life expectancy that is only slightly below the general population's. Unfortunately what drug therapy hasn't changed is the quality of life of Parkinson's patients, at the time one of the worst among those of patients with neurological diseases.
The low incidence of drug therapy on Parkinson's patients' quality of life is correlated with the type of drugs available. They are in fact drugs that act only on dopaminergic transmission, which despite being the most affected symptom in Parkinson's disease, is also not the only one involved. In fact Parkinsonian patients have cholinergic and noradrenergic alterations in addition to problems in other important anatomical structures such as the cerebellum and the frontal lobe. What is the consequence of all this? Some symptoms such as altered gait and balance and posture disorders do not respond to drug therapies that are available, and therefore lead to a rapid deterioration in the patient's living conditions. In addition, the progressive increase of drugs that is usually prescribed to try to counter the clinical worsening, as well as not confirming any benefits, are responsible for the development of additional symptoms such as dyskinesias and freezing. In these cases, in addition to being ineffective, the drugs can also cause damage.
The consequence of all this is that the patient must resort to expensive treatments such as a brain stimulator implant linked to to the subthalamic nucleus of Luys, or a PEG implant for the administration of Duodopa. Even these systems, however, have major side effects or complications (cerebral hemorrhage, implant infection, deadly polyneuropathy) and are therefore reserved for very selected cases.
Since 1950, rehabilitation has been proposed as a therapeutic alternative.
At Moriggia Pelascini Hospital, Prof. Frazzitta developed an intensive rehabilitation program aimed primarily at patients who present all those problems that do not respond to drug therapy: gait disturbances, freezing, posture disorders, balance disorders with falling episodes, dyskinesias, and dystonias.
The multidisciplinary program includes the participation of neurologists, physiatrists, physical therapists, speech therapists, neuropsychologists, and nurses in order to better address the various issues related to this widespread neurodegenerative disease. In particular, the path includes one hour of front-to-front treatment with expert physiotherapists in order to improve body function and motor performance; an hour of treatment with the most modern and specific rehabilitation equipment; finally, a third treatment with exercises to improve hand function and independence in daily activities. In addition, patients with speech and swallowing disorders follow a group speech therapy-rehabilitation program. An individualized rehabilitation program is instead used for patients with Parkinsonism (multiple-system atrophy and progressive supranuclear palsy).
The protocol was tested in a population of patients in the intermediate stage of Parkinson's disease and an objective assesment measurement was used that is based on energy consumption. At the end of the rehabilitation treatment, in addition to presenting significant clinical improvement, patients also demonstrated an optimization in calorie consumption, which is an index of objective improvement in centrally based muscle activation.
A 12-month follow-up (the first to ever have been planned) compared a group of patients in the intermediate stage of the disease who had undergone intensive rehabilitation treatment and a group who was completely lacking rehabilitation treatment; it showed that there is a significant difference in the clinical evaluation parameters and all the advantages were in the rehabilitated group. And even more interesting, the group subjected to rehabilitation had been able to reduce their drug dosages, while the control group required further increases in drug dosages without any benefit.

Professor Jane Cummings, Chief Nursing Officer for England, launched the largest ever national campaign to get patients up, dressed in their own clothes, and moving to boost their recovery at her 2018 Chief Nursing Officer summit.
For many, wearing pyjamas reinforces being sick and can prevent recovery. The #EndPJParalysis campaign aims to get older people back home to their loved ones living much happier and fuller lives. Making the most of valuable patient time is particularly important – as figures show nearly half of people aged over 85 die within one year of a hospital admission.
Studies show that three-in-five immobile, older patients in hospital had no medical reason that required bed rest and doubling the amount of walking while in hospital reduces the length of stay. Muscles quickly age when not used, leading to loss of strength and physical abilities. For people aged over 80 years, 10 days on hospital bedrest is the equivalent of 10 years muscle aging. And considering that the human body takes longer to rebuild muscle than it does to lose it, this can exacerbate the difficulties of patient rehabilitation after their illness.
"One of the most valuable resources is a patients' time and getting people up and dressed is a vital step in ensuring that they do not spend any longer than is clinically necessary in hospital. I urge all those caring for our older patients to help end PJ Paralysis and get involved in the 70-day challenge and show the impact they can make." – Professor Jane Cummings
As an organization, Healthperm fully supports the campaign and we encourage all our nurses who care for older people, nationwide, to help them to get up and active especially if they are in hospital. The campaign will run from 17 April to 26 June 2018 to finish in time for the NHS 70th anniversary celebrations on 5 July.

From time to time I get asked to comment on an incompleteness proof. Many of these proofs are so obviously flawed that it is easy to demonstrate where the flaw is. While initially I thought that I would deal with them all on the same page, I discovered that as more flawed proofs accumulate one page was becoming rather cumbersome, so I have now put them on separate pages, even if some of them can be dealt with in a few paragraphs. A list of the pages dealing with these obviously flawed proofs is given below.
It is noteworthy that in many such proofs, the quality of the proof seems to be in inverse proportion to the esteem with which the authors view their own work.
For a detailed analysis of less obvious errors in some incompleteness proofs, see Errors in incompleteness proofs and Analysis of incompleteness proofs.

There is now a paper that deals with the matter of language and the diagonal proof, see On Considerations of Language in the Diagonal Proof.
There is now a new page on a contradiction in Lebesgue measure theory.
I found that making, adding or deleting footnotes in the traditional manner proved to be a major pain. So I developed a different system for footnotes which makes inserting or changing footnotes a doddle. You can check it out at Easy Footnotes for Web Pages (Accessibility friendly).
I have now added a new section to my paper on Russell O'Connor's claim of a computer verified incompleteness proof. This shows that the flaw in the proof arises from a reliance on definitions that include unacceptable assumptions - assumptions that are not actually checked by the computer code.
