Interactionism = [ Mind & Body interaction ] + [Some of my personal Philosophy]

Decisions made, guided you to where you are today

Every day we go through life hoping that (1) tomorrow gets better or (2) today never ends. But we never wish for the same thing every day, month, or year; because we never know where life would take us. One time or another we wonder why is this happening to me (good or bad)? We wonder how this fairy tale or disaster chose us, but some choose to embrace what is happening while other choose to dwell on it. That is what makes us different. Others learn to let go of regret and grudges while other choose to beat their self up for the choices they have made. It is hard to understand how and why people make decisions for themselves and many times we will never know. But we must also keep in mind that we can’t just judge someone for their decisions because their past made them who they are today. Embrace who you are and who surrounds you because everyone you meet (no matter if they come and go or stay) contributed to who you are today.

A Short Poem Witten On A Windy Day In October Titled : Passing-Wind [Cognitive-Fart]

Just at the onset of winds,

Accompanied by the coming of this fall,

Change direction,

Have I found myself tangled,

Increasingly,

Amongst the turbulence of minds,

Which elude me,

As,

Do the matured,

 Leaves of the season flee,

From the soundness,

Offered to them,

By the stern, 

& the prevalent,

Nature of their gracious hosts

Where as the days,

And the bitter,

Chill of the the months to come,

Will inevitably syphon the warmth,

From all things,

Within It's breadth,

It would Appear, 

As if,

The cycle of foliage, within,

This Great North Eastern valley,

Bore a wisdom, Unbeknownst,

To the sturdy,

Masses of branch & bark,

Which sheltered them

——————{Con't }{Page 2}——————

The narrowest puddles will soak,

Through soul & sock dampening the foundations,

On which trotted travelers tread upon,

Achey,

Heels & shallow,

Breaths held captive,

Within the unsettling,

grasp of each,

 breeze,

Presented to them,

As a frigid reminder of the lack of weariness having,

Un-Folded, within,

The first Quarter century of One's Expedition. 

Quick Quote of the Day (musicians)

"What gives notes their value, is the space in between them" original quote from Christian Simmons

In playing with other musicians I sometimes find that we can get so caught up with the notes we want to play that we miss the beauty of space.  It is important to remember that music is a living dynamic thing.  The "rests" in a piece of music are just as (if not more) important than the notes.  There can be no loud without soft....there can be no notes without silence.  Honor the "rests"

God bless

Behavior Intervention Therapy: MCBT and EFT Tapping as a Stress Reliever - Working Towards Publication

***MODERATED*** Law Enforcement: Historically and Contemporaneously ***PLEASE REVISE POST***

What are your thoughts on policing and the black and brown community? I know for a fact that my nephew will be black, I do also know that I will have to coach him on how to dress, act and speak when around the police. and these actions will be fueled by the systemic racist systems we abide by in our own country. What are your thoughts on the never ending racial debate we have in America?

Nuero-Marketing: Mass Marketing tactics were originally based on the Door-to-Door Salesman

This is an example of the first model of marketing advertising developed in the early 1900's.

It argues that consumers are rational decision makers & and could be persuaded via the presentation of information. It was based on tactics utilized by the door to door salesman the most effective method of marketing during the most early development of mass media marking. This model has since been antiquated and replaced with more reliable models of marketing based on market research suggesting that EMOTION plays a much more important role in decision making rather than LOGIC.

Optimization Through Excel

Learned to optimize equations through Excel's add-on called Solver. It allows you to minimize or maximize your equation (function) with a set of variable constraints and known objectives.
For example:

In Excel the givens were inputted to be:

where g1-g3 are the constraint equations and f is the equation trying to be minimized. Excel can be programmed to input equations.

Then the add-on Solver is opened:

As shown B8 is selected to be minimized. Then the variable constraints are noted as x1-x5. Once this was done the equation constraints were set. After all the conditions were inputted the equation was solved.

The final variable constraints are shown in B10-B14 to be the final minimized optimized solution for the equation and the given parameters.

Inspiration

Upon entering college, students are likely to hear an array of different things, from the importance of wearing shower shoes to warnings against crazy, messy roommates. They tell us college will be the best four years of our lives, that we’ll make lifelong friends with the girl waiting in line at the omelet bar, or fall madly in love with that cute boy down the hall. They tell us to work hard and succeed so that in four years we can go out into the workforce and complete our transition into adulthood.  We hear so many great things about college all through grade school and junior high, that when we’re finally high school seniors, we can’t wait to graduate and embark on our new journey.

            Upon entering college, however, you learn things, and not just inside the classroom, but outside as well. You learn that even when you try and give it your all, it’s sometimes not enough. You learn to deal with that disappointing heartache and you realize that life doesn’t have to move at lightening speed. You can slow down, take a breath and truly enjoy the experience; instead of flying through it like an exam you spent all night studying for. A degree is not a badge or a metal of honor, it’s not something you display for recognition or praise. It’s something you work hard towards in order to better yourself and your future, so that when it’s finally achieved, you have something to show for all those all-nighters and difficult professors, not to mention those 15 pounds gained freshman year. 

            No matter how glorious it seems, however, the road to that degree is not easy. It comes with difficult decisions and sacrifices, responsibility and hard work. Whether those decisions lead you to graduate a year early or a year late, finishing is what truly matters. So yes, they’ll tell you grand tales and exciting stories, but remember, they’re just that. Because in those stories and tales, they don’t say that sometimes life gets in the way; that your ideal college experience doesn’t always work out the way you want it to. If and when that happens, I want you to remember something. College is what you make it, not what they tell you it’s supposed to be. So receiving a poor grade isn’t the end of the world, having to take a semester or year off to sort things out doesn’t make you a failure. It makes you human; it means you’re actually living. So decide. Choose. Be responsible and work hard, and above else, finish. Please don’t ever not finish.
