GOP “Self-Destructing”

May 15, 2021

This seems true to me.

Another factor at work here is the success of the Biden presidency so far, with its 63% approval rating.  That’s an awful lot of people in support of what’s happening in pandemic control, the infrastructure jobs bill, consumer optimism, environmental responsibility, as well as the relief that comes from having a basically honest human being in the White House and the concomitant hike in the respect accorded to the U.S. from foreign allies.

5 Step Blueprint You Need to Embody for Next Level Success

May 15, 2021

As leaders, we know success is a habit. We create success from a set of behaviors that we repeat over and over again until it becomes our second nature. But how do we navigate to the next level when we feel stuck?

In my career as a Success Coach, I’ve worked with incredible clients at various levels of their professional career and entrepreneurship ventures. The most consistent commonality between all those who felt stuck for some time is that they had a hard time seeing themselves as a success. 

Not seeing yourself as a successful leader, or not feeling ...

“Trump Left Us Alone on the Battlefield” — Another Comment

May 15, 2021

I wanted to offer another observation on the moron pictured at left, one of at least 600 thus far who committed a federal crime while believing that Trump would be there for him in the end, and issue his sorry ass a pardon.

Yes, it’s pathetic indeed, but at least it’s stupid and evil people who are getting hurt here, and it makes us feel good to know that justice is being served, and that innocent people aren’t being injured.

When you think about the typical low-brow Trump supporters, that, sadly, is very rarely the case.  Think about the ...

New study says mammals can breathe through *checks notes* their butts?

butt oxygen

I breathe through my nose and, when I have a cold, my mouth. You probably do the same. It works well and it's kept me alive for over 35 years, so I really can't complain. But what if we were totally missing out on a novel way of breathing that nobody ever told us about? What if our bodies — and those of other mammals like pigs and rodents — were capable of breathing through a different, but also familiar orifice? I'm talking of course about our butts.

No, this isn't a painfully late April Fools' joke; Scientists from ...

It took a bit longer than expected due to the pandemic, but Apple finally announced the iPhone 12 last October during a prerecorded event at its Cupertino campus. Alongside the new phone models, Apple also pulled back the curtain on a series of MagSafe accessories that would be compatible with the iPhone 12. A few months later, doctors expressed their concerns about MagSafe technology's effect on pacemakers in the medical journal Heart Rhythm. Shortly after, Apple responded on its support site, and now, this week, the FDA has finally weighed in.

Wind Will Help Power the New American Economy

May 15, 2021

On Tuesday, the Biden administration announced the first major offshore wind project in the U.S.

When completed, the 84-turbine wind farm near Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts should generate enough electricity to power 400,000 homes and businesses, according to estimates from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

This massive project is just the beginning, though. That’s because in March, the Biden administration launched a clean energy initiative calling for 30 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030.

The Martha’s Vineyard wind farm will only generate 800 megawatts, which covers less than 3% of the overall goal.

“We’re going to power ...

On Tuesday, the Biden administration announced the first major offshore wind project in the U.S.

When completed, the 84-turbine wind farm near Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts should generate enough electricity to power 400,000 homes and businesses, according to estimates from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

In recent months, the price of larger TV models has shot up around 30 percent compared to last summer, according to market research company NPD. The jump is a direct result ...
