Fiction ** Collector USB Flash Drive




Fang-Chun Tsa created The Collector USB Flash Drive.  It uses Micro-SD cards as it’s own memory. You can insert up to three Micro-SD cards into the USB flash drive to expand the memory capacity of the flash drive. 

Have Micro SD cards of different sizes?  No Problem.

But getting one 'may' be a problem as I cannot find this product for sale.


Tetrahedron Superyacht



This Trimaran seems more like a House Boat.  It is also a HYdrofoil Small Waterplane Area Ship (HYSWAS).  Made from Carbon Fiber and Duplex Stainless Steel, the Tetrahedron is 25 Meters (82') long. With a take-off speed of 15 knots (17.2 mph) and a flying speed of 38 knots (43.7 mph) this vessel has a range of 3,000 nautical miles.  This ship was conceptualized from the Maritime Applied Physics Corporation (MAPC) ship 'The Quest(1995).

This Innovative concept vessel can accommodate six passengers. At low speed the yacht sits gently on three underbelly hulls. Long distances are achievable with reduced out-of-water drag and stormy ocean conditions would incur virtually no slamming. It is designed to travel smoothly through rough water by controlling Pitch, Heave & Roll Forces. The pyramid-shaped superstructure will appear to fly low over the water and the submerged torpedo-shaped hull ‘levitates’ the Pyramid out of the water by rotating hydrofoils on the submerged hull.    

 Can anyone say SG1?  


I don't know about you, but this is an amazing idea for a ship.  

A Hydra-foil wing gives it lift.

Lack of Nutrition is the Leading cause of most deaths and disability.....





Risk Factors for Disability

  • Do you want to waste away? Keep eating the wrong things and you will have up to 15 years of disability before you die, 
  • Where do you learn about nutrition?  Not the stuff that is Junk Science, but the real stuff?
  • What is Lifestyle-Medicine?
  • Why is it that Doctors do not talk about my primary health risk?  
  • Why isn't this on the news or taught in every medical school?

My Risk Factors
  • I can control for Diet, and have a decent diet since I am Vegan.  
  • I don’t smoke, so that is not an issue
  • My BMI needs to come down.  
  • My blood pressure should follow my diet and exercise.  
  • My fasting blood glucose should be better than normal due to my bean consumption.  
  • I do need to increase my physical activity.  
  • I don’t drink any alcohol, so that goes away.
  • Being Vegan works to keep my total cholesterol low.
  • I am not a drug user, so that is N/A.
  • My main occupational risk is sitting too much.
  • I can control the Ambient Particulate Matter with a filter.

READ ** The Marshmallow Test: Why Self-Control Is the Engine of Success


I fished reading the book The Marshmallow Test: Why Self-Control Is the Engine of Success by Walter Mischel and wanted to make a note to myself. 



Are you only into immediate rewards or can you wait and reap twice what you could get now.  A Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Daniel Kahneman (Thinking Fast and Slow) has a similar model of “fast” and “slow” thinking that has many parallels to what is described by Walter Mischel.

Mischel describes two systems in the brain: "
hot" (limbic) and "cold" (prefrontal cortex).  The Hot system deals with immediate threats and rewards.  The Cold system deals with delayed consequences.  The key to self-control is cooling the hot system where appropriate.  When the Limbic System Kicks in it may shut down the prefrontal cortex and prevent cooling if you cannot recognize a hot button before it takes over.  We need to learn to recognize Hot-Buttons and activate our Prefrontal Cortex to work on delayed rewards that are larger than immediate rewards.

As a child would you wait for twenty minutes to have two marshmallows or have one right now.   Can you delay rewards? Could you as a child?  And what does that have to do with the rest of your life?  In this book Walter Mischel explains that your ability as a child to delay gratification is a Key Indicator to life time performance.  The Marshmallow test (Delayed Gratification) has the ability to predict higher SAT scores better social and cognitive functions, a healthier lifestyle and a greater sense of self-worth.

Nature or Nurture?  Do our Genes define our level of self-control or is there an
epi-genetic control that can turn self-control on or off?  Can willpower (our cognitive ability) substantially increase this crucial ability via our brains plasticity to gain more self-control?  Genetics clearly plays a role in the level of self-control you have, but Genetics are not your destiny.  If you really want to, you can increase your self-control if you approach it with a growth mindset and that willpower is not a limited resource over which you have no control.
Not only do you at times not need willpower, you can often remove the source of temptation by not buying it and surrounding yourself with people who can help you.  You may also want to have an effective pre-commitment strategy and cues. 

* MAKE UP "IF...THEN" RULES. We tend to react to cues out of habit. Create new habits with new cues. IF I go to a restaurant, THEN I will start my meal with a salad. IF I get an email notification, THEN I will finish the next item on my to-do list before reading the email. When well-rehearsed and practiced, the desired behavior is triggered automatically without effort.

* COOL THE NOW, HEAT THE LATER. Vividly imagine the negative consequences of immediate gratification: Whenever you are tempted to smoke, visualize the picture of a cancerous lung. If you are tempted overeat, visualize the picture of a person who is unfit and out of shape.

* DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM THE SITUATION. Refer to yourself in the third person. Instead of saying "I've to finish the report by tomorrow", I can say "Chuck has to finish the report by tomorrow." This way you distance yourself and change your role to that of an observer. This makes the completion of the task easier.

* SHIFT YOUR FOCUS FROM HOT TO COOL PROPERTIES. Shift your attention from the hot to the not-so-hot attributes of the stimulus: Instead of looking at the chocolate as a tasty flavorful treat look at it as a brown square, wrapped in paper. By focusing your attention on the on the cool attributes of a stimulus, we can decrease its appeal.

To see the TABLE OF CONTENTS

In the science of self-control it is said “good things really do come to those who wait”.  But like most things, taking control of any area of your life starts with asking the question: Would you like to? 



Sitzfleisch, the ability to sit in a seat and reach a goal, despite obstacles.

How many things are in the world that are temptations, that if we just followed a few simple rules, we could live a life of reaching goals.

Digital Security


Knowledge of Security is Paramount to everyone in this Digital Age, and many people are not aware of the security threats that are in the digital world.  We fear a spider more than a link, but a link can hurt us far more, if we do not take precautions.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. ~ Benjamin Franklin.

You can only stop what you know.  If you are unaware that it can happen, then you are vulnerable.

Were do you learn about Digital Security?  From those who do security, and you can get a YouTube-PHD while watching and learning about what can protect you from harm.

What you will find below is my notes as I go through the information and update the links - No-Link, means that I have not watched it yet.

I was going to put this out on Google+, but they limited me to ... 50 boards.  I thought about putting this on Pinterest, but the videos' would not be of interest to that genre, and twitter is way to short
