Businesses Can Take Control Of “Suddenly September” With One Calendar That Turns Bottom Lines From Summer To Serious

September 4, 2018
In television, it’s called a “cold open.” Google that term and The Office is likely to show up on the first page of results; maybe more than once. Appropriately. [1] The month of September often feels that way on the calendar. Summertime was that not-exactly-programmed period after credits rolled on the season finale of whatever. A comedy, maybe. Or a cliffhanger. Possibly a really serious series finale. Regardless, then came summer — like a commercial ....

Who forgot to order the *#$% ventilators? Studied direction “by the book” have designated priorities for COVID-19

April 20, 2020
Ongoing coverage of novel coronavirus disease 2019 continues to feel like a story being told from a point that never quite starts from the beginning. [1-3] If there’s a strategy to this, a part of that would undoubtedly serve interests of seeking to establish “winners” and “losers” in the blame game. Labeling COVID-19 “Chinese Virus” may be argued inaccurate from the perspective of a narrative that does not originate until first US patient presentation in ....

Part History, Part Fashion, Part Science Fiction: Detroit Marks Final Stop For Must-See Original “Star Wars” Exhibition

July 3, 2018
The most fantastic, enduring bits of art are always underpinned by deeper forms of substance. Details. Philosophy. A thoughtful integration of myriad pieces that had come to create the whole. The so-called “Star Wars universe” is both a fantastic example of this and a challenging one. [1] It’s not uncommon for a movie to beget merchandising and sequels. But the first (chronological) entry in 1977 expended to other mediums, comprehensive language development, and impassioned arguments ....

Twenty years after fire team responses on September 11, 2001, legacy of “911” and “fundamentals” must be remembered as well

September 11, 2021
Prior to twenty years plus one day ago, reference to “911” evoked a very different sort of imagery. Popular Mechanics once suggested the opening credits of late-1980s television series Rescue 9-1-1 for reference. [1,2] On September 10, 2001, 911 was a “modern emergency apparatus” that began to take hold throughout the United States in the 1970s — thanks to the foresight and infusion of financial backing from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. For people who were here, those ....
