It’s usually serving food that makes people happy. You have an idea or a great recipe and want to serve it. However, your business is local. When you see shows such as The Bear,  Bobs Burgers , or even certain movies, you realize that the people are sourcing ingredients locally.  They’re going to farmers’ markets, not shopping at Costco or Sam’s Club but right to the source. But why do this if you can quickly get everything you want by going to a grocery store? Well, it’s about standing out, and your chosen ingredients do that. It’s

Stuffing Your Face Super Fast???Speed Eating and Weight Control

How fast you finish your meal may significantly affect how well you can control your weight and your health. Photo by Gardie Design & Social Media Marketing on Unsplash Joey Chestnut , a speed-eating champ , kept his title as champion by eating 62 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes at the Brooklyn, New York event on Coney Island, July 4th, 2023. In 2022, Chestnut ate 63 hot dogs and buns to win. He became the hot dog-eating world champion in 2021 when he ate 76 hot dogs and buns in one sitting. The record for women is 48.5 hot dogs and buns, held by Miki Sudo, who has won eight times . In 2023, Sudo won first place with 39.5 hot dogs and buns. We have to wonder how people prepare for these championships and what they need to do afterward because common sense tells us there must be a price to be paid for this type of eating. Yes, it's all in the training . “ Every practice, I record it and I try to push a little bit harder and figure out what I can do differently. You

If We Do Not Help Ourselves?

Image
Zenobia Silas-Carson I recently joined a Facebook group, “Seniors Who Need Help with Anything.”  I tried to find rules or limitations thrown in by the administrators, but I joined anyway to see what it was all about. As soon as I joined, I could see there was little organization, no rules of compliance, and little thought had been given to the many differences in states and cities. Still, I introduced myself and just observed. Chaos among the elders broke out almost immediately. One woman said we needed to be more explicit about our reasons for being here and perhaps break into states where each one from that state could try to help others find resources for their individual needs and even find a friend or two along the way. Since there was no clear agenda, some people thought this was a dating site; one person expressed interest in finding housing and was answered with malicious phrases like, “Where is your family?” “Don’t you have any children?” “Try public housing,” and so on.

Cheating or Plagiarizing with AI Made Easy: There?s Software for That Now

Image
Writing should always be original and free from plagiarism, whether it's for a creative project, a research study, or a school paper. However, AI has introduced various cheating tools that enable dishonest behavior. Photo by Raghav Modi on Unsplash “The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.” ? Omar Khayyám In this case, the moving finger does not write but points to a word or phrase, then a mouse click, a save, and an insertion into a manuscript. It's all so easy. It takes seconds, and within an hour, anyone can have a research paper, a book, or a summary of anything, and claim that it is their own product. Amazon and other publishing platforms require that you attest to the fact that this material is your original product and not produced by AI. In fact, according to reports, hundreds of AI produced books have been removed from various publishin

On Gratification

Image
For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI “Immediate gratification” is a part of our existence, but it shouldn’t represent our primary focus. (And I realize that I transitioned from corporate consulting to individual advisory work because it is more immediately gratifying than the sloth-like movement of bureaucracies.) If the gratification is in a book being published, that’s far from immediate, and probably why so many people complain (endlessly) about the “burdens of writing,” as if everyone is trying to create  War and Peace.  But if the gratification is in writing   the book, then it is immediate and ongoing.  That’s why I love writing—I love the daily creation. It’s gratifying to see your kids succeed in life, and have kids of their own, for example. But you’d better enjoy raising them or they’re not going to get there!

Do You Know What is Important to Your Audience?

For Immediate Release: Dateline: Centreville , VA “When speaking in public, your message – no matter how important – will not be effective or memorable if you don’t have a clear structure.” – Patricia Fripp, Hall of Fame keynote speaker, executive speech coach, sales presentation trainer, & author of FrippVT You’ve researched your audience. You’ve prepared your presentation content. You’ve practiced it thoroughly. But are you sure your presentation answers all of your audience’s concerns about your topic? If you’re honest with yourself, your answer has to be no. This article explores how to determine your audience’s concerns about your topic, adapt your presentation slides to conform to your audience’s concerns, and answer your audience’s concerns fully. Your Audience Determines Your Topic Emphasis One way to determine your audience’s concerns about your topic is to ask them even before beginning your presentation. I always arrive at the speaking venue at least an hour be

Message from God for Heaven on Earth Day 2024

Image
noreleaswith see  This message from Source God was delivered to the participants of our celebration of the 11th anniversary of the opening of Heaven on Earth Day . I love that he addresses current matters; many in our program commented on their appreciation of his recent decision. God’s Message: World events will eventually shift in your favor. We are still in readjusting mode, and it is closing. Heaven on Earth will be a turning point for most if not all. Those stuck in the past will only be there if they aren’t careful. Reincarnation will exist for those who don’t embrace the new and let go of the past, including its dark parts. Those unwilling to look at their dark parts will have ample time and examples to see them if they are not careful. This is not a threat. It is a necessary evil, so to speak, to bring awareness to the vehicle to remain stuck or see and take responsibility for what is within. Those unwilling to go within will be stuck in the theater (outer), an example of

The Parade of Learning

Image
For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI When I was a senior at Rutgers, I had a job in the Dean of Students’ office to help pay my tuition. As we neared graduation he asked me how I was doing. I told him I felt great, and had a strange sense of power. “That’s the power of learning,” he said, “and you should never loose it.” College should teach us how to learn, not how to memorize. It should teach critical thinking skills and not how to “get our ticket stamped.” Life-long learning is “on us.” We need the self-accountability to continue to learn in order to continue to grow, to continue to contribute. It’s best to lead the parade but it’s fine just to be in the parade. It’s not good to watch the parade from the sidewalk because, in due time, the parade has moved on.

Is Breakfast the Most Important Meal of the Day? Challenging It Could Change Your Health

Image
Is breakfast the “most important meal of the day”, and should we rethink it now to save our health for later? Photo by Eiliv Aceron on Unsplash Many people say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day . But is it, and what happens if you skip the traditional breakfast? Will you wilt and be sluggish, and will it shrink your ability to be creative or study? And where did the idea originate? You guessed it: Lobbyists were involved once the idea was offered by Edward Bernays , a nephew of Sigmund Freud who patched together several factors that could be used to create a new persona for breakfast. A physician agreed with Bernays that a heavy breakfast of bacon and eggs was better for you than a light breakfast. The physician then sent this statement to about 5,000 doctors and asked them to sign it. Newspapers reported the petition’s results as if they were a scientific study . Bacon and eggs became king as the best breakfast for everyone. We see the same sort of consu

Don?t Let Performance Anxiety Knock You Out of Anything in Life

Image
Anxiety is part of life, but when it becomes truly debilitating and affects aspects of your life that are highly important, it’s time for change. Photo by David Menidrey on Unsplash Performance anxiety has long been a major part of studies on motivation. All of us will, at one time or another, experience some degree of anxiety about our “performance” in many areas of our lives: school, socializing, intimate relationships, careers—anytime a group or person judges us. People usually link performance anxiety to sports, like not being able to sink the putt or take the kick in the final championship. I once had a darts champion come to me for a consultation. He was a successful executive nearing retirement, and now he was “ choking ” when it was his turn in a darts contest; he was losing his edge. Previously, he threw without a problem and won most tournaments he entered. Now, he was falling behind. I referred him to a sports psychologist who could help with his performance anxiety.
