Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action, Mother's Day 2008
Anti-war / anti-nuclear weapons activists converged on the Naval Submarine Base Kitsap-Bangor on Saturday May 10th, 2008 in a Mothers Day commemorative action. Participant's engaged in a traditional vigil and nonviolent civil resistance direct action to oppose the weapons of mass destruction as they exist in their offensive capacity on the base. The offensive capacity of the weapons is in contravention of several legally binding international agreements. Unfortunately, the United States Government is in flagrant violation of these treaties. The abnegation of international law by the Government of the United States of America imperils the world. Decision-makers behave in ways that are Machiavellian. They employ the Hobbesian model of power-politics where "might makes right" and the "ends justify the means", which is then applied to international discourse. However, there is a better way.
By respecting international laws and agreements, the United States can help to promote and create an international environment of equity and respect.
One of the problems with the trident nuclear missile programs is that in addition to their purported role as a well-intentioned defense, these missiles also serve as a basic international bully mechanism. The trident missile system deployed via Bangor submarine base is estimated to be capable of wreaking a several months' long nuclear winter over much of the globe.
Instead of operating in the realm of power-politics where the application, or the threat of application, of brute force hangs over international proceedings: I challenge the Government and the People of the USA to pursue a better way. I challenge the Gov't and People of the United States of America (including myself) to work for a foreign policy that truly values human rights, human dignity, human health, environmental health, fairness and equity, truth, honesty, respectfulness (for ourselves individually, for each other, and for the Earth). The means create the ends.

Regarding the award-winning physicist Dr. Elliot McGucken at Princeton University, the late John Archibald Wheeler stated, "More intellectual curiosity, versatility and yen for physics than Elliot McGucken's I have never seen in any senior or graduate student. . . Originality, powerful motivation, and a can-do spirit make me think that McGucken is a top bet."
Dr. E would go on to heal the blind with his NSF-funded, award-winning Ph.D. dissertation which also laid down the foundations of Light Time Dimension Theory. Over the years, LTD Theory added foundational *physical* postulates, principles, and equations en route to becoming numerous books, with this one forming the simple, illustrated introduction.

The great thing about the beach is that it presents an entirely different universe from season to season, from day to day, from hour to hour, from second to second, with the ever changing wind, tides, clouds, and sun. A split second with tumbling surf and a sinking sun can make a vast different, resulting in entirely different photographs.

Did you know that John Muir, Thoreau, and Emerson all loved epic poetry and poets including Shakespeare, Milton, Homer, and Robert Burns?
I recently finished my fourth book on Light Time Dimension Theory, much of which was inspired by an autumn trip to Zion!
www.facebook.com/lightimedimensiontheory/
Via its simple principle of a fourth expanding dimension, LTD Theory provides a unifying, foundational *physical* model underlying relativity, quantum mechanics, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, and the second law of thermodynamics. The detailed diagrams demonstrate that the great mysteries of quantum mechanical nonlocality, entanglement, and probability naturally arise from the very same principle that fosters relativity alongside light's constant velocity, the equivalence of mass and energy, and time dilation.

Garrison Green was developed according to the principles of New Urbanism. The result -- a compact, pedestrian-friendly urban community that’s located just minutes from downtown Calgary. In addition to more than 1,000 homes in a variety of styles and price levels, Garrison Green also offers seniors and assisted living housing, as well as the Cypress Green affordable housing complex. This is thanks to a partnership between the city, province, CLC and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
Garrison Green is also home to Peacekeepers Park. This park is the site of an annual event that pays tribute to the men and women who serve in Canada’s peacekeeping forces. CLC is committed to honouring the past, while creating vibrant communities for Canadians.

Garrison Green a été aménagée selon les principes du nouvel urbanisme. Le résultat? Un quartier compact et invitant pour les piétons, à quelques minutes du centre-ville de Calgary. En plus des quelque 1 000 résidences de styles divers pour tous les budgets, Garrison Green comporte des résidences pour les aînés et des logements avec assistance, de même qu’un complexe d’habitation abordable, Cypress Green. Le projet résulte d’un partenariat entre la ville, la province, la SIC et la Société canadienne d’hypothèques et de logement.
Garrison Green est aussi le site du parc des Casques bleus, lieu de commémoration annuelle à l’intention des hommes et des femmes qui ont participé à des missions de maintien de la paix. La SIC s’engage à rendre hommage au passé tout en créant des communautés animées pour tous les Canadiens et Canadiennes.

The statewide organization asked me to coordinate Coach Cafe' Ann Arbor in 2011. I was also on the planning team (and resident techie) for the ICF Michigan Annual Forum 2013. (Int'l Coaching Federation, for which I'm a member.)
A video explaining profession coaching (by those external to your immediate organization, is there. There is also a link to an article on how to select a coach.
Coaching by those external to your organization is recommended, as internal coaches and managers, while useful in providing support/perspective, may have PAAR, that is power, authority, accountability & responsibility for your work, and therefore may not be fully objective or fully able to support what is best for your development.

Beedie School of Business' CIBC Centre for Corporate Governance and Risk Management, the Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE), and the UN-backed Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI) hosted an event on February 28, 2013 featuring keynote Dr. Wolfgang Engshuber, Chair of PRI. This was followed by a panel discussion on the role of responsible investment in comprehensive risk management and ways to build healthy, sustainable capital markets.
Panel speakers include:
Robert Adamson, Business Administration Faculty, CICA Fellow in Corporate Governance and Risk Management, Executive Director, CIBC Centre for Corporate Governance and Risk Management, SFU Beedie School of Business

The goal of this project was to experience controlling relational properties of form (i.e. position, direction, space, and gravity) to achieve an intended design outcome. Restricted to five geometric unit forms with at least three in an oblique orientation to one another and the base, this design expresses a clear concept and features the relational elements of form and the means of connecting unit forms as important sources of visual interest in the solution while considering intentions for mass or space dominance.
Constructed from wood, matt board, cardboard, and paper, it was crucial to apply the basic principles design while creating compositional strength from all angles.

Principles of Design Portfolio that I had to do for school awhile ago. You may have notcied I spelled Principles wrong on the actual Photoshop Document.
When Keith (Principles Agency Creative Director) was in Manchester on the TV Big Blue wheel TV shoot, towards the end of the day, the above happened.
It wasn't staged. Some mystery lad just legged it on set wearing nothing but ankle socks and shades, waggled it about a bit, then shot off again.
The shoot was on the day of the Rangers v Zenit St Petersburg UEFA Cup Final, so we just assumed it was some Rangers fan who'd had one too many.
We turned it into a viral and posted it on YouTube. Sure enough, the lad in question stepped forward.
Jamie was a student living in a tower block overlooking the filming. He did it for a dare. He reveals his identity here:

1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt
One of a Kind
Walter P. Chrysler built his company on the principles of engineering excellence and innovation which had distinguished his career in the 19th century railroads, at Buick and Willys Overland.
The first Chrysler featured an efficient and powerful high compression six-cylinder engine, force-feed lubrication, tubular front axle and four-wheel hydraulic brakes, refinements then unprecedented in series production automobiles at the time.
The success of these and other innovations in 1934 culminated in Chryslers introduction of the Airflow, a streamlined, unit body breakthrough in automobile design.
Its timing could hardly have been worse.
Mired in the dashed expectations of the depression, customers were loath to experiment with something so new and intuitively untried and risky.
Sales plummeted and Chrysler quickly reverted to making more conventional looking automobiles.
Their mistake may largely be traced to springing the dramatically different Airflow with its distinctive appearance upon an unprepared audience.
But one remained immediately recognizable: The Copper Car.
It was built by LeBaron with a copper hardtop, sill trim and bumpers.
It survives in this unique, distinctive configuration today.
After its round of appearances it was sold to actor Bruce Cabot (First Mate Jack Driscoll in King Kong among many other roles).
In 1954 its engine was replaced by a Chrysler Hemi V-8.
It was acquired by the Harrahs Collection in 1960 and was bought during its 1985 dispersal auction by the most recent owner who two decades later commissioned a complete restoration by Chris Kidds Tired Iron Works.
During restoration the original Spitfire Eight engine was returned to its home under the Thunderbolts hood along with a dual carburetor induction system.
The drive system powering the retractable hardtop was re-engineered for smooth, reliable operation.
Completed in 2009 it debuted at the Amelia Island Concours d' Elegance where it won the Camille Jenatzy Award for the Most Audacious Exterior, then took third in class at the Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance in August and a class win (scoring 100 points) at the Newport Beach Concours at the St. Regis Resort.
Everything about this car, as its recent 100 point score confirms, is to the highest standards of materials, craftsmanship, historical accuracy, fit, finish and function.
A dramatic statement of vision and innovation, with its brilliant copper hardtop and trim it is one of a kind, a dramatic statement of leadership in engineering, design and creativity in the 1940s, and no less a statement today.
Overlooked fundamentals of effective counter-terrorist preparations.
