I believe this is a good comparison of Republican presidential candiates.  In any case, I agree with it.

This is quite likely an academic exercise because most of us do not have the resources to give away money, even if it is viewed by some as a good investment toward motivation of team members. 

Once we understand that others’ needs provide buttons we can push to motivate them toward certain goals, we can progress in a somewhat calculated way designed to increase the odds of success.

In response to a question I was asked recently, this is an edited version of part of a leadership course I developed some years ago.  The course was delivered in seminar format so there is a lot of support material, delivery, and discussion not included here.

searched on “can I wear boxer shorts to basic training,” I assure you that though my first-hand knowledge on the subject is many years out of date, whatever you wear to Basic Training will be just fine because you won’t be wearing it for very long.

Why do some insist on bearing defensive arms?

Well, maybe it has to do with events like this that seem to get only little to moderate press coverage so the general population will know what is going on.

Consider that in the last 2 weeks,

• Putin, former KGB, has disbanded the governmental leadership body.
• Putin has selected a nobody to a position of some power.
• A spy scandal poisoning suspect is going to “run” for “office.”
• Putin’s hostility toward the US has become increasingly more obvious.

During our time inside Tony’s we had noticed quite a few people headed toward the main gate, exiting the park, apparently not willing to gamble on the weather improving.  As we left the restaurant and started up Main Street toward the castle the rain had slowed to a drizzle, but at that point it made little difference.

Hmmmm.  Where were we?

Oh yes, I believe we were here, at

and approaching a crowded and unmoving exit area as we attempted to leave Stitch’s exit-the-attraction gift shop.

As we showed my annual pass at the parking toll plaza for Magic Kingdom I couldn’t help but wonder how the cast members there feel about the change of parking fees from $10 to $11 (that matches Universal Studios now). 

For those not old enough to remember the comedian and showman Jack Benny, you’ll just have to figure it out with your fingers, but for those of sufficient vintage, you’ll understand that yesterday we celebrated the anniversary of whose number was Jack Benny’s permanent age, just a wee bit shy of forty.  Hard to believe I came back from Vietnam 40 years ago and we were married the following year.

My guava tree is about 3 years old, from a cutting of my good friend’s tree which isn’t doing very well at all, but mine sure seems to be.  Photo 1

Last year, the first season of bearing, when the tree was only 2 years old, I got roughly 60 fruit.
