Book Charts Serial Killer?s Psych Evolution, Bill Bonin?s Mind Revealed in His Diaries, Written Murder Stories & Interviews

Image
Los Angeles, CA— Millions of gallons of ink has been spilled trying to explain the inner workings of serial killer Bill Bonin's mind, but most fell short of what has been revealed in a new comprehensive historical biography, Without Redemption: Creation & Deeds of Freeway Killer Bill Bonin, His Five Accomplices & How One Who Escaped Justice . Those previous versions didn't have what co-authors Vonda Pelto, Ph.D., who had sessions with at LA Men's Central Jail, and Michael B. Butler possessed— segments from Bonin's handwritten jailhouse diaries and the complete murder confession stories . Hidden away for over 40 years, they came to Pelto within a treasure trove of official investigative documents given to her by a former public official. Her first book, Without Remorse: The Story of the Woman Who Kept Los Angeles' Serial Killers Alive , covered Pelto's entire time at LA Men's Central Jail, as a Clinical Psychologist, dealing with over a dozen seria

Sonar From The Air

Image
I spent most of my career in the sonar business.  It was always assumed that sonar can only work when both the transmitter and the receiver were in the same body of water; air to water sonar was not possible because sonar can not break the air-water interface.   Sure, there were planes that could “dip” a device into the water that would transmit and receive sonar signals, but that is still considered a water-water sonar.  Thanks to the innovative minds of Stanford University, there may now be a way to transmit and receive sonar from an airborne platform.  Who would have thought? Stanford engineers explain that the Photoacoustic Airborne Sonar System, or PASS, fires a laser into the surface of the water, its intensity pulsed to the desired acoustic frequency, and as this laser energy is absorbed, it creates ultrasonic waves in the water that can act as effective sonar waves, bouncing off underwater objects before returning up to the surface.  “If we can use light in the air, where lig

The Cecilia Dapaah scandal is a classic homegrown African problem

Image
Allegations of corruption recently forced Cecilia Dapaah to resign from her position as Ghana’s minister of sanitation and water resources. Following news reports that the minister and her husband had stashed large sums of money in their home in Accra and could not readily explain the source of the cash, the country’s Office of Special Prosecutor (OSP) moved to arrest her. It all started when Dapaah reported to the police that two young ladies, who were domestic workers at her home, had stolen money and personal items belonging to her and her husband. As much as $1 million, €300,000, and over one million Ghana cedis were allegedly taken. According to the news reports, the theft occurred over several months last year, and the minister herself waited several more months before reporting the matter to the police just recently. An overwhelming majority of Ghanaians are outraged by the revelations. They have accused the minister of looting state resources. There is, however, a vocal mi

Tattoos ? Why Do Women Do It?

Image
Barbara Morris Right out of the gate, I’ll say it: : I don’t like visible tattoos on a woman.  Some tattoo designs are beautiful and artistic but belong on a canvas, not a human body. I’ll accept tattoos on a man because men are — well, they are men. Does a would-be tattooed woman ever stop to think about the INTERNAL  effects of various inks that pierce the skin to create often hideous designs? Probably not. What’s important in contemporary culture is being part of the Facebook culture, or perhaps the Chinese-owned and regulated TikTok — doing what others do to gain approval or social acceptance. The important thing is to get as many “likes” or “followers” as possible. That’s the definition of stupidity. Too harsh? Think about it. I occasionally watch the TV show “Say Yes To The Dress,” where soon-to-be brides try on different wedding dresses to find the dress of their dreams. Parents and friends help the bride make a decision. Invariably, beautiful young girls choose strapless

Do You Eat When You?re Not Hungry?

Image
Pat Garner Guilty! Here is my top 10 list of why we eat when we’re not hungry. Someone said we must eat 3 meals plus snacks daily, or we’ll die. Seriously. We have nothing else to do, so we eat. We’re addicted to it, and we eat more sugar. Comfort food is sooooo yummy. To deal with our stuff. To be social – someone took the time to make something, so I better eat it. The clock said so, or see #1. We love the crunchy, salty, savory, sugary feel and taste. Mom said to clean your plate. Wine is best paired with good food. What do all of these have in common? They are related to habits. A Duke University study says at least 45% of our waking behavior is habitual. While we’d like to believe “we’re in charge,” we’re driven by our subconscious or unconscious mind. It’s amazing and yet disturbing. Happily, there has been an increase in grounded findings based on neuroscience that has helped clear a path over the last few years. To build an effective NEW habit, you need five es

Article Describes Why ?X? Is a Terrible Brand Name for Twitter

Image
       The choice of "X" as the new brand name for Twitter may be a terrible choice, according to internationally known author and film producer, Gini Graham Scott.  She has written an article about all the reasons why it isn't a good name and should be changed before it undermines what has been the Twitter platform.  Here's the article which originally appeared on Medium at "Why X Isn't a Good Brand Name for Twitter" explained in a new article on Medium by author and AI expert.  Features all the negative words and associations with X that undermine the brand. https://ginigrahamscott.medium.com/why-x-isnt-a-good-brand-name-for-twitter-1fd33e7f3c8e .             Ever since I read that Elon Musk changed the name of Twitter to "X", I've been thinking that "X" is not a very good choice of a brand, since it seems like a negative symbol, because it is used in so many words with negative connotations and meanings. For example, "X

Bad News ? Yellow Freight Is Declaring Bankruptcy, Good News ? UPS Strike Is Off

Image
Yellow Freight Yellow Freight has told its employees that it is declaring bankruptcy on Monday.  Yellow is the US’s third largest LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipper  and employs over 30,000 people. This is not good news for any company that ships less than truckload LTL shippers are an alternative to Fed Ex or UPS if you are shipping over  150 pounds  but less than a full truckload. Here are some  alternatives to Yellow:  Old Dominion Freight Line XPO Logistics Estes Express Lines ABF Freight System SAIA Inc. UPS Strike Is Off Whoooo, that was close. The Teamsters were set to strike against UPS on August 1 unless there was a settlement . The two sides had not held talks for three weeks, so it didn’t look good. However, they did settle. Rank and file still have to vote on it, but it is expected to pass. What we did not need was for Yellow to go bankrupt and UPS to go on strike at the same time. So, good news.

The New Rules for Turning Event Attendees Into Brand Advocates

Image
When we hopped on a Zoom call with Spiro 's Amy Blackman to chat about turning event attendees into brand advocates, we had a bunch of questions prepared about social media. But when we started to ask them, she surprised us: "I actually don’t think it’s about that,” she said. Blackman, a strategic partner at the experiential agency, acknowledges that she might think about the topic a bit differently due to her background: The Long Beach, Calif., resident previously managed musicians for 20 years, and has a master's degree in cultural anthropology plus an MBA from Georgetown. She takes a more academic-driven approach to the topic of creating brand advocates, she explained. Amy Blackman Photo: Courtesy of Amy Blackman Something that particularly inspires her? The concept of “ community of practice ,” a framework designed to drive innovation for companies or ideas. She started thinking deeply about its implications for events during the pandemic, when she served as acting

Are You Ready to Enthuse Your Audience?

Image
Photo by E.S. Attract the Right Job or Clientele: Are You Ready to Enthuse Your Audience? Creative communications of many types will enthuse your audience, but only some recognize the fact or want to take responsibility. The typical approach in the sales environment is to memorize scripts; sadly, not everyone acknowledges the lack of enthusiasm associated with doing so. We each have varying abilities, and we must capitalize on our best. For example, I use humor to engage people, but only some of us know how to stir laughter. The essential element is speaking to the prospect’s interests and addressing their needs, wants, and desires to enhance our business. The question is, Are you ready to enthuse your audience? Image by E.S. My Story The sales profession is highly competitive because each team member wants to be the one receiving recognition plus extra monetary bonuses. Teamwork, as it should be, hardly exists due to the competition underlying the profession. Entrepreneurship
