These are the two winds that allow a leader to soar.” “ Gifted leadership occurs when heart and head–feeling and thought–meet. As we develop congruency between our heart and head, we experience “gifted leadership.” Daniel Goleman (Emotional Intelligence) says: We can begin achieving congruency between our heart and head by aligning our behaviors to our Natural State. but when He entered a temple and saw the moneychangers, His adaptive style kicked into high gear (Matthew 21:12-13, NIV). Jesus exhibits qualities consistent with His natural state – love, compassion, honesty, etc. Psychology refers to this tension as “cognitive dissonance.” Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort a person feels when their behavior does not align with their values or beliefs. We can operate in our Adaptive state for a period of time but will begin to experience tension and stress when we surpass our capacity. We would become more directive and action-oriented to ensure the safety of our family. Consider this example, at home we mostly operate in our Natural State, secure, laid back and chilled but if a fire were to break out, our adaptive style would kick us into survival mode. I learned that we all have a “Natural State” and an “Adaptive State” which represent the behavioral tendencies we select depending on our situation and environment. How do you know if there is congruence between your heart and your head? I found a great answer when I participated in the Biblical DISC® certification workshop, offered by Lead Like Jesus. It’s such an important step in goal achievement and if we miss it, we can end up travelling a long way down the wrong path!” “ A key ingredient to achieving your goals is to make sure your goals are totally congruent with who you are as a person. Australian author and mentor, Rachael Bermingham describes the importance of congruence this way: If we aspire to lead like Jesus, we must develop the level of consistency and congruence that He demonstrated (Hebrews 13:8). Only through the bringing together of head and heart-intelligence and goodness-shall man rise to a fulfillment of his true nature.” “One day we will learn that the heart can never be totally right if the head is totally wrong. Our heart and head are interconnected and exist within a symbiotic relationship. Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) cautions us to “above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” However, Proverbs 4:23 (ESV) tells us “above all, be careful what you think because your thoughts control your life.” The same verse, in different translations of the Bible, appear to provide different perspective and focus. It’s possible to have ‘head knowledge’ of God and His Word without its filtering down into ‘heart knowledge’.”īut even the Bible can contribute to our confusion. Sometimes it is hard to get the message from our heads to our hearts. The heart represents our affection, emotion, and personality. The Bible speaks of the brain as the center of our thinking and has much to say about the condition of our minds. “But the relationship between head and heart isn’t just physiological. David Jeremiah, founder of Turning Point for God, and Senior Pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church says: In other words, we are taught to think negatively resulting in feeling negatively towards others. Social scientists agree that discrimination is a learned behavior impacting how we view, feel and act toward our differences. However, other psychological theories state that how we think may be associated with our upbringing. Examples include the harm to others caused by road rage, and currently mass shootings, which are reported daily. Psychologists have long proffered how we feel about someone, or something, can affect our behavior towards them. So before we jump more deeply into aligning the head it’s fair to ask which comes first, the heart or the head? This journey can cause us to experience a philosophical dilemma, commonly called the “causality dilemma.” Much of this discomfort occurs because our society encourages competition and individual accomplishment and because there is so much conflicting information, especially within the social sciences. Which came first the chicken or the egg? The past few months, within the four domains of leading like Jesus, our focus has been the heart however, perhaps the most challenging transition is aligning our heart (feelings) to our head (thoughts).

Stockmar wanted to make sure that he handled communication efficiently in a controlled airport environment and would be doing his landings at Charlie Brown Airport (FTY)." He had expressed to his wife Sharon Champion that during the BFR Mr. Dodgie Stockmar for a bi-annual flight review. Champion had a 12:30 appointment with Mr. In reference to events prior to the crash of Glastar N75419. The son of the deceased registered owner / pilot stated, "On the 19th of May of the year 1999. According to the FAA aviation safety inspector conducting the on-scene examination, the son of the deceased pilot stated, his father was receiving a bi-annual flight review at the time of the accident from the CFI. They departed on the accident flight with the CFI going along as an observer. The engine was running and the airplane remained in the nose down attitude until it disappeared from view below the tree line, and it was heard colliding with the terrain.Ī friend of the CFI contacted the NTSB, and stated that the CFI sat down with the deceased pilot on the day of the accident and discussed a pending flight review, which had been scheduled the following day with another instructor. The other witness stated he observed the nose of the airplane pitch straight down. One witness stated he observed the nose of N75419 pitch up about 10 degrees, before the nose pitched straight down, and disappeared from view below the tree line. Both witnesses stated the airplane was observed in straight and level flight between 100 to 200 feet above the trees. Two witnesses observed N75419 in the vicinity of Charlie Brown Airport. A helicopter (N11TV) was asked to assist in locating the crash site, and he reported over the wreckage at 2002:54. A short time later, the inbound pilot reported seeing emergency vehicles but no wreckage. He asked another airplane that had reported inbound for landing to make a low pass over runway 8, with a left turn out to see if they could locate N75419. The controller attempted radio contact with negative results. N75419 was not on the downwind leg or on radar. He cleared the departing airplane and turned back to locate N75419. He turned his attention to another airplane calling for departure. The local controller observed N75419 lift off, turn crosswind, and then turn downwind. There was no other known recorded conversation with N75419. The pilot stated at 1933:59, "four one niner cleared for takeoff runway. The pilot stated, "we're gonna stay in the pattern." The local controller cleared N75419 for takeoff at 1533:55 (UTC). The pilot was asked by ground control if he was going to stay in the pattern or depart. The FAA controller stated the pilot had made a full-stop landing to runway 08 at Charlie Brown Airport, cleared the runway, and taxied back for another VFR departure. The flight originated from Charlie Brown Airport, about 3 minutes before the accident. The commercial pilot flight instructor (CFI) and private pilot dual student sustained fatal injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed.

I can also see how that might be inconvenient for someone who wants to use the lists pages as diary pages. □ I love that I can change from my list page to my actual planner pages and, when I flip back, I’m still in the same list - I do have more than one but I have to manually click out of the one I’m in to pick a new one. I actually used the list view to create a list of pros and cons that would eventually turn into this blog post. These lists can probably function as journal entries if you want to use them as such (although I haven’t checked to see if there’s a limit to how many “lists” you can have, and you can’t change the section title - they’re called lists no matter how you use them). I tried to use this as a journal section and it didn’t work out well because it auto-formats as a list… which made it a pain in the ass to then remove the “journal entry” (the text doesn’t automatically wrap around, and the delete button appears at the end of the line). This list does not auto-migrate (I was hoping it would!) but the heading for this section does. This allows you to add one label of your own choosing, which will appear over a checklist section on the daily page. You can change some labels (specifically, “custom list”). Sadly, they don’t show up on the mobile app. Artful Agenda has them in all three spots! Sometimes these spots lag a little bit but that’s minor. Some of my favorite old planners had motivational quotes on either the monthly, the weekly, or the daily pages. Motivational quotes are a big one for me. I’ve used a lot of planners where I didn’t really love the layout, but I loved one of the “something extras” that they put into the layouts. (Is it just me or does Google Calendar’s color picker leave a LOT of great colors out?) You even get a few tabs to flip from one view to another. Multiple layout views mimic what I would find in a paper planner, and you can even adjust your calendar colors so that they are more in line with your aesthetics. This is the ONLY digital planner solution that I’ve found that is as aesthetically pleasing as a paper planner. What I Loved: Artful Agenda is beautiful. Read on to learn about what I loved (and didn’t love!) about Artful Agenda. Well, the short version is no… but that doesn’t mean it won’t be a good solution for you. I’m on a mission to simplify my life - could Artful Agenda be just the program to do that? The digital planning solution I found is called Artful Agenda, a subscription app-and-website combo that promises to combine everything you love about digital planning with the beauty of paper planning. It’s never really worked for me in the past, but none of my past solutions has been working particularly well this year either, so it was worth giving it a shot. Since I’ve had such a hard time finding my planner peace, I decided to give digital planning a try. I’m still on the lookout for my perfect planner solution for 2020, and I’m sure some of you other planner perfectionists are, too.

Perasi received raves for his 2013 tome Paul McCartney: Recording Sessions (1969-2013). I think he would do anything for me.Out now by noted author Luca Perasi is Paul McCartney: Music Is Ideas. “At the end of the day when it’s all said and done,” John shared shortly before his death. Positive or negative, John’s views on Paul’s music didn’t detract from the deep feelings he held for the man since he had known since he was 16. Received similar praise with John noting that it proved Paul could write lyrics. John firmly believed that this Sgt Pepper‘s song had a good lyric. John thought the Revolver song one of McCartney’s best. Likewise with ‘Got To Get You Into My Life’. He held ‘For No One’ is slightly higher esteem deeming it “one of my favorites”. In his 1980 Playboy interview Lennon simply noted Paul’s 1964 song ‘Things We Said Today’ as “good”. While John had a degree of respect for the Get Back project songs which would eventually be repurposed for the final Beatles album Let It Be, it was ‘Let It Be’ and the Long and Winding Road that he dubbed the Beatles last great burst of creativity. While John declared the song “one of his best” in 1972 he also contended that it was most likely written as a joke. Well done.”įans might debate John’s take on ‘Why Don’t We Do It On The Road’ as Lennon’s estimation of the White Album era song sits somewhere between a backhanded compliment and hidden nugget of praise. I have got so much accolade for ‘Yesterday’ but that’s Paul’s song, and Paul’s baby. She left and he wishes it were yesterday, that much you get, but it doesn’t resolve or anything. If you read the whole song, you don’t know what happened. ” Although the lyrics don’t resolve into any sense, they’re good lines. “Paul wrote the lyrics to ‘Yesterday,’” John reflected in one interview. “ I should have written that song,” Lennon once confided, “ it sounds like a song I’d write.”Īs much as John rubbished it, Lennon could not deny that ‘Yesterday’ may just have been Paul’s greatest moment. The Beatles‘ early hits never earn too much praise from John though feeling charitable he once referred to McCartney composition ‘All My Loving’ “a damn good piece of work”. Paul recently noted that it may have been the only complimented Lennon ever paid him. And one of my favorite songs of the Beatles.” “ That’s Paul’s song completely, I believe. “ was a great one of his,” John once enthused. Revolver‘s ‘Here There and Everywhere’ was another of Lennon’s favorites. The angel in him was saying, ‘Bless you.’ The devil in him didn’t like it at all, because he didn’t want to lose his partner.” “‘ Hey, John.’ Subconsciously, he was saying, ‘Go ahead, leave me.’ On a conscious level, he didn’t want me to go ahead. “ I always heard it as a song to me,” he told Playboy in 1980. Lennon was of course quite famous at contradicting himself. Then he turned it into ‘Hey Jude.’ I always thought it was about me and Yoko but he said it was about him and his.” ” It started off as a song about my son Julian because Paul was going to see him. “ That’s his best song,” John told Hit Parader in 1972. Nonetheless, there were odd moments where Lennon expressed the admiration he held for Paul’s talents, which in the eyes of many a Beatles fan rivaled if not eclipsed his own. When it came to fellow Beatle Paul McCartney‘s songwriting John Lennon‘s views could vary wildly.Ī self-professed jealous guy with little or no filter, his snipes at Paul’s work could be scathing.

Sapphire’s original Dual-X cooler hasn’t changed since we last saw it on another product. Here is a summary of the Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 OC specs: The memory frequency is lowered to 600 MHz in 2D mode. The Sapphire version really clocks its memory at 5000 MHz, which is 200 MHz or 4.2% higher than the reference card’s specs. The barely visible marking reads H5GQ2H24MFR T2C, which translates into a rated clock rate of 5000 MHz. There are eight FCBGA-packaged chips of GDDR5 memory from Hynix Semiconductor on board the Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 OC for a total of 2 gigabytes. The GPU clock rate is dropped to 300 MHz in 2D mode and its voltage is lowered to 0.893 volts then. The GPU voltage of our card was rather high at 1.218 volts in 3D mode although the GPU quality level is 82.7% (it’s quite high according to the ASIC quality test). Unlike the reference AMD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition which clocks its GPU at 1000 MHz, the Sapphire version is pre-overclocked by 5% to 1050 MHz. The GPU contains 1280 unified shader processors, 80 texture-mapping units and 32 raster back-ends. Its power system, located between the video connectors and the GPU chip is formulated as 5+1+1 (GPU + memory + PLL).It is managed by a CHiL Semiconductor CHL8225 controller.The card’s 28nm Pitcairn XT GPU was manufactured on the sixth week of 2012 (early February). It is used to exhaust the hot air from the cooler out of the system case.Īs the reference Radeon HD 7870, the Sapphire version has two 6-pin power connectors and one MIO connector for building CrossFireX configurations out of two such cards.Ĭontrary to our expectations, the PCB follows the reference design. The Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 OC is equipped with one dual-link DVI-I, one HDMI 1.4a, and two mini-DisplayPorts.Īs you can see, there’s a vent grid above the connectors in the card’s mounting bracket. The card measures 253x106x39 millimeters, which is in fact equal to the reference AMD Radeon HD 7870. You can see the cooler’s thick heat pipes from the opposite side. The card’s model name can be read from a sticker on the edge of the cooler’s plastic casing. The face side of the Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 OC is covered by the already familiar Dual-X cooler. ~ Neera li wanting to help Dail recover from his insanity, and her depiction as devoted to her work, but not a duty-obsessed machine. ~ The relationship between the three main characters What's more is these characters actually have a personality! You heard me, a personality, not tropes! Something Sonic games haven't seen since 2009!Įxhibit A: The scene where Milla politely asks to touch Lilac's hair tendrils, and although weirded out, Lilac politely complies.Įxhibit B: Call it padding, but the entire sleepover scene.Įxhibit D: On the battleship, when Lilac overhears Milla has been separated from her parents and has been surviving on her own for a very long time, instead of a cliched one liner, Lilac shows genuine concern for her.Įxhibit E: I REALLY wish they explored this more but: And, if the former is avoided and the latter is done right, it can lead to real diversity, something that involves different ways to play the exact same game, rather than different games altogether! Instead, they have to stick to the game's core mechanics, while having their own separate methods of adapting to those mechanics, whether it's melee combat, ranged combat, or defensive combat. They shouldn't deviate from a game's core mechanics at all for the sake of superficial "variety". Nothing else!Īnd that's one of the whole points of multiple playable characters in video games. Not even any swear words or pathetic attempts at dark, gritty realism, a la Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic '06, and Sonic Unleashed and its werehog stages! You're either an agile melee combatant (Lilac and Carol), a slow, cautious defensive combatant (Milla), or a long-range projectile combatant (Torque and Spade). No slow, tedious treasure hunting, no equally slow and tedious mech shooting. That leaves the upcoming Torque and Spade to handle long-distance, projectile combat. Why? Because instead of making them deviate from the Sonic formula, they instead stuck to it at all times, while providing different methods of adapting to that formula.įor example, Lilac and Carol are technically fast, aggressive melee fighters, while Milla is more geared towards defense and support. No, seriously! When you look at the three playable characters, plus the additional two that are coming soon as DLC, Galaxy Trail seemed to do those characters right, compared to Sega handling its own Sonic characters wrong. I always feel like Freedom Planet wasn't just a giant middle finger at Sega's constant attempts at deviating Sonic from his signature speed, but also at their terrible attempts at adding in additional playable characters. You know how out of the numerous criticisms made for the Sonic franchise, the worst of them all tends to be the insane amount of playable characters, not only for being outright annoying but also constantly deviating from the traditional Sonic formula with their own gimmicky gameplay?

Morris Lessmore about the curative powers of story. Morris Lessmore, which is also his Academy Award-winning short film, to name a few). In 2009, he co-founded Moonbot Studios a multimedia storytelling company exploring books, apps, films and video games. The studio’s projects have won numerous awards and accolades, including an Annie Award, multiple Webby Awards and inclusion in the iTunes App Store Hall of Fame. Since beginning his career as children’s book author/illustrator, Joyce has written or illustrated nearly 50 books including kid favorites George Shrinks, Dinosaur Bob and His Adventures with the Family Lazardo, A Day With Wilbur Robinson, The Leafmen and the Brave Good Bugs, Rolie Polie Olie and his 13-book series, The Guardians of Childhood. He continues to publish bestselling books through Moonbot’s imprint with Simon and Schuster, including The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. DUST have just released their latest sci-fi short film. Morris Lessmore, an animated short film about the curative powers of story. Morris Lessmore, The Mischievians and The Numberlys. Number 13 is based on the Dark Horse comic by Robert Love and David Walker. In this animated short, Roch Carrier recounts the most mortifying moment of his childhood. Dark Horse use the phrase A heart of gold and a fist of laser cannons to describe the series. At a time when all his friends worshipped Maurice 'Rocket' Richard and wore his number 9 Canadiens hockey jersey, the boy was mistakenly sent a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey from Eatons. Unable to convince his mother to send it back, he must face his. interactive iOS Apps, Morris Lessmore and The Numberlys. His latest book, Ollie’s Odyssey, was released in 2017. Moonbot Studios first introduced The Numberlys as a Webby Award-winning app in 2012, followed by a bestselling picture book and festival favorite short film in 2014. Named by Newsweek magazine as “one of the 100 people to watch in the new millennium,” he has worked on projects with nearly every major film studio, including BlueSky, Disney, Dreamworks Animation, Twentieth Century Fox and Pixar. The property is Moonbot’s second multi-platform story, crafted after the success of the studio’s Academy Award winning The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. His feature films include Epic, Rise of the Guardians, Robots and Meet the Robinsons. His television series include George Shrinks and Rolie Polie Olie, for which he won three Emmy Awards. Heres an awesome live-action short film called The Secret Number with a solid story that doesnt rely on special effects. PROJECT OVERVIEW: The Numberlys Pilot was part of Amazon Primes Pick Your. Joyce’s latest films are animated shorts: The Numberlys, co-directed with Brandon Oldenburg, and The Cask of Amontillado, co-directed with Joe Bluhm and based on the Edgar Allan Poe story. It was created over a period of two years by a team of young filmmakers from the Savannah College of Art and Design. The description for Numberlys name-checks such black-and-white classics as King Kong and Metropolis, and while you can certainly see those influences in the sprawling cityscape fo the app, it’s also clear that Moonbot was able to create a striking world all of its own for this app.It was directed by Colin Levy, and its based on the short story by Igor Teper. The story is set in a monochromatic universe dominated entirely by numbers, and it follows the adventures of five roly-poly creatures in their quest to introduce letters into their dull, gray world. Numberlys is Moonbot’s follow-up to Morris Lessmore, and like its predecessor, it offers up a very distinctive visual style. But more important, it’s just a really great story to get lost in for a while. It’s a breath-taking example of the new kind of story-telling that the iPad can foster. That philosophy is on display to perfection in The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. In interviews elsewhere, the brains behind Moonbot have said that they’re not really trying to do movies or books or games-rather, they’re creating apps that draw upon elements from all three categories. Growing Numbers: The Numberlys creates a visually distinct monochrome world dominated by numbers. Everything neatly fits in with the action, and it’s a terrific way to get drawn into the saga of Morris Lessmore, particularly for younger readers. You help Morris piece together fragments of a torn up page. A bowl of alphabet soup becomes a canvas for forming words. When a windstorm blows Morris out of his comfortable life, you can make houses fly off with a flick of your finger. Instead, the app comes loaded with interactive features that augment the storyline. But Moonbot went beyond merely repurposing the Morris Lessmore film. |
