Home/Others/AT & T will offer three different levels for its streaming service
AT & T will offer three different levels for its streaming service
The next AT & T streaming service will offer three different subscription levels when launched in late 2019.
The first level will feature films from the WarnerMedia catalog, while the second will feature WarnerMedia TV series and "hit movies," according to WarnerMedia. The Hollywood journalist. The third level, and apparently the most expensive, will combine films from this library catalog with original series. This will likely include HBO programming, which AT & T sees as a big gain for subscribers.
The third batch will also include "more content licensed from third parties" in the future. AT & T CEO Randall Stephenson did not suggest the cost of each level.
WarnerMedia CEO John Stankey told reporters that the ultimate goal is for subscribers to want to access all three levels, while starting at a point that suits them financially. It's essentially a bundle, but instead of the subscribers choosing from different cable packages, everything is available via a first-level streaming subscription. The largest expenditures will provide members with original television programming and access to WarnerMedia's large library of movies and TV series.
That's exactly what Disney would like to do
The AT & T and WarnerMedia multicast approach may sound familiar – this is exactly what Disney apparently seeks to accomplish. Disney will also launch its Autonomous Streaming Service in the fall of 2019, but The Hollywood journalist notes that the company plans to consolidate two other leading services, Hulu and ESPN +, to provide consumers with digital package options.
Disney owns ESPN and will become Hulu's largest shareholder when its 21st Century Fox acquisition is finalized. Disney could then offer a package similar to what AT & T wants to accomplish with its streaming service.
This is a gesture that makes sense when we look at the current streaming space and what will happen. More and more companies are launching stand-alone streaming applications to compete with giants like Amazon and Netflix, including retailers such as Wal-Mart and niche platforms such as VRV from Crunchyroll. Consumers only have a percentage of their monthly or annual entertainment budget. Companies such as Disney and AT & T, which offer discounted bundles to multiple service subscribers, are one way to attract consumers to a supersaturated market.
Disney has not officially announced plans to consolidate its services, but CEO Bob Iger has hinted in previous investor calls that the company is willing to explore these options. Now, with AT & T and WarnerMedia suggesting that this is the path they want to borrow, it seems more than likely that Disney will announce something similar because the launch date of its own streaming service is approaching.

The Phi and I have discovered an old, but new to us, book series. Junie B. Jones is a updated version of Ramona. She is about 6 years old or so and an imaginative and mischievous little girl. The books are chapter book but are still pretty fast reads. We can get through one book on 2 or 3 nights.
The Phi has taken a big liking to Junie B. Jones and now will go straight to the "P" section of the kids books to find one of the books we haven't read yet.
I am looking forward to the coming months where The Phi will start to read. The letter sounds are there and it is just a matter of days before she starts putting things together.
I love reading and I am hoping The Phi will have the same love!
chone has the mushy gushy valentine one if you want to read it. im going to start reading the twins the sweet pickle books.

Art History at the University of Bern
The Institute of Art History at the University of Bern is divided into five Chairs, each of which is responsible for a particular specialty: Pre-modern art history (ÄK), early modern art history (KN), modern and contemporary art (MG), history of architecture and historic preservation (AD), and the history of textile arts (TK). The Institute's broad range of seminars, lectures, excursions, and practical experience – often in English – provides an exciting and wide-ranging forum for exchange, dialogue, and research. These opportunities are augmented by the multifaceted and wide-ranging interests of the faculty, as well as frequent visiting faculty members whose international professional networks add to the Institute's diverse offerings and courses of study.
The Institute's range of course offerings covers the full spectrum of western art, from the early Christian era to the present. Alongside the traditional art historical media of architecture, painting, printmaking, drawing, sculpture, and decorative arts, the Institute also offers the possibility of in-depth study of modern and contemporary art forms, including new media. The Institute's program concentrates attention on the historical and social conditions of artistic production, as well as the religious, social, and aesthetic functions of artworks and architecture, their forms and genres, contents and meanings, and also the artistic and literary reception of art production. The analysis and history of art theory and the historiography of art history are also a key element of the Institute's program, which aims to cover the history of art in all of its manifold aspects.

Field Trip 3: Hydroplutonic Kernow
Cornwall's Best Kept Secrets
by Jo Thomas
Our journey into the unfamiliar begins with an exploding map. A straightforward Ordnance Survey style representation of the Gwennap mining district, but with the secrets of the strange complicity between water and the earth's core hidden in its folds.
It falls to the good people of Urbanomic, and their trusted associates, to reveal the truth of this scarred and traumatised landscape between Falmouth, Redruth and Truro. The clues are layered through the remains of over 200 years of industrial activity and on this blazing hot day in May, we take a tour to piece the story together.
On the way to our first investigation scene, in the 'wonderful poetry particular to geologists', James Strongman reminds us of the 300 million years of underground shenanigans that have brought us here today. Collisions of pre-historic continents, gigantic granite batholiths and huge reservoirs of metal rich fluids, all resulting from, as geophilosopher Robin Mackay instructs us, the Hydroplutonic Conspiracy – the complex collusion between water and heat from the earth's core that is as old as the world itself.
At Kennall Vale, near Ponsanooth the sound of rushing water and the dappled shade of a lush, green forest are welcome sanctuary from the glare of the sun. But this is no place for rest or peaceful reflection. This is a site where the convolution of mankind's involvement in the Hydroplutonic Conspiracy has racked the landscape. Using the ruins as their pulpit, our guides teach us of the Gunpowder Works that occupied this area throughout the 19th century. Where 60-70 employees, helped by 39 water wheels within a five-and-a-half-mile stretch, exploited the hydraulic capital of the Kennall River to carry out the processes necessary to churn out 4-5,000 barrels of gunpowder every year for use in the nearby tin and copper mining industry.
Shaun Lewin, our party's Transversal Oecologist, warns us against romanticising the 'nature reserve' we see around us. The trees would have been planted to absorb possible explosions at the works, 'some sort of green blast chamber' and the whole site is polluted with by-products of the gunpowder making process. Walking through the remains of the buildings and fractured water wheels covered in the fuzz of green moss, embraced by trees growing through their forms, it's hard not to imagine this as the last traces of some long lost ancient civilisation.
But the works only closed 100 years ago, only just beyond living memory. The fact that the river, which was so valuable to so many people in so many ways, is now merrily gushing its way unfettered through a nature reserve is astounding. Is it a waste of natural energy or a return to the way things should be?
As our journey continues, evidence of Kernowian Syndrome, the local manifestation of the Hydroplutonic Conspiracy, reveals itself to us with a persuasive frequency. At Perran Wharf, established by the Fox family, coal from South Wales to power the steam engines to pump water out of the mines, timber from Norway to line the mine shafts and guano from Peru to provide concentrated nitrogen for gunpowder making were all brought, by water, as close to the mining district as they could get at that time. The nearby Norway Inn is named for its part in this history.
Only a few miles further on at Devoran, we lunch at the spot that was once Cornwall's busiest port, 'the main artery of the Hydroplutonic Conspiracy', during the mid 19th century after the discovery of what was thought to be the largest copper lode in the world. Kenna Hernly tells us of the Redruth and Chasewater railway that carried 60,000 tonnes of material a year back and forth between boats stacked four and five deep and the inland mines. By the 1870s the copper market had crashed and the railway and port went into decline. Now pleasure boats nestle in the old ore bins and the railway tracks hide beneath a very straight road. A level-crossing gate and plaque are preserved, but now just form part of a fence around an empty field. A few of us on the tour try to imagine what it must have been like, but it's just too much of a leap for the mind to make. Is there any real way to bring something lost back to life, or at least to imagine the stories of the people that walked and sailed this area, and should we even try?
At what's left of the Point Mills Arsenic Works near Bissoe we settle on the parched ground to hear from philosopher Ian Hamilton Grant about theories that suggest mining and the associated exploitation of the natural world is, in fact, just an extension of nature itself. If we humans are made of organic matter and minerals, then are we nature's way of creating ideas, the expression of nature's consciousness? If this is the case, I think, nature must be a ritual self-harmer. The orangey flakes of iron oxide in the stream and the small, grey, metal box monitoring its toxicity levels are a reminder that the repercussions of some of our more invasive ideas continue to pose a threat.
Nowhere is this more apparent than at Nangiles, where our guides tell us of the flash flooding disaster in 1992, when millions of gallons of polluted water spewed up from the many miles of tunnels forming the Great County Adit out into the Carnon River and onwards to the Fal. The oyster industry in the Fal has never recovered. It is tempting to see this as evidence of water getting revenge on humans for our part in the Hydroplutonic Conspiracy.
At Gwennap Pit, an open-air oratory fashioned from an area of mining subsidence used by John Wesley, founder of Methodism, we gather to hear agrosopher Paul Chaney talk of 'the new industrial human'. He tells how previously agrarian communities went from a reliance on the earth and God's generosity to exploiting that earth without any reciprocal relationship. It seems a day that started with the birth of the universe has brought us back to the realities of the present.
Though everything we have heard speaks of underground and hidden histories, the effect is to focus our attention on the surface, the actual and the now. By peeling off the romanticised skin of Cornwall and forcing us to peer into its guts, Urbanomic have implanted the knowledge of the conspiracy in us all. Nowhere will ever be quite as it seems again.

Glass Sculpture "Crashing Wave" Extra Large
BENS24750
Glass artist Ben Silver creates the most extraordinary glass sculptures. His designs of colorful sea life and cresting waves capture the beauty of these natural shapes with Ben's own colorful style. Ben began glassblowing in 2007 at the Eugene Glass School. He has attended the Pilchuck Glass School as well as Corning Museum of glass for further education with some of the best teachers in the country. "The learning never stops", says Ben. "Glass is possibly the most difficult medium to master, but it's also an endless opportunity to expand, which is why I love it." Ben currently lives in Oregon where he has his own glass studio. He visits Hawaii often to get inspiration from what he calls "paradise on Earth."

June 10, 2018 (JUBA) - The South Sudanese presidential spokesman, Ateny Wek Ateny has dismissed reports claiming he has been sidelined and sacked from his post.
Ateny, in a statement issued on Sunday, described as "fake" such claims, which he largely attributed to his adversaries and distractors.
"It is true many people, especially friends and family members as well as my detractors have written to me privately to clarify if I am suspended or relieved. This is not true. I am still working as normal in the office of the president discharging my duties as the press secretary", he told Sudan Tribune.
The presidential aide blamed his distractors over the ongoing rumor.
"I have been neither suspended nor relieved. This fake news is from those who envy me for doing my job. They abhor the government and at the same time they don't want me to be in the government", further said Ateny.
"But, I am happy to inform all of you that I am still the Press Secretary in the Office of the President", he added.
It remains unclear from where the reports that circulated on social media originated.
This is, however, the third time a report on Ateny's sacking has been subjected to public debates. Also, several officials at the presidency have dismissed the veracity of reports about his sacking, but claimed the prevailing general feeling that he lacks technical knowledge, qualifications and prerequisite skills required for the job, resulting in him uttering statements viewed as display of lack knowledge.
"Sometimes if even we at the presidency who are his colleagues do feel that he operates outside ethical parameters but there is no improvement. We have hoped he would improve the way he communicates with the public and messages from the presidency to the public; unfortunately he ends up uttering statements out of proportion," a presidential aide told Sudan Tribune on Sunday.
Worryless Mr. Ateny, lawlessness mind are carrying nonsense around visioning evil wishes in their negative brains.
Your voiceless spokesperson deserved to be fired, him and Makuei Lueth (Makuei Kacha) are the ones spoiling your government images through hate speeches.
Denying your own dismissal!!! It soon coming Ya Ateny! You are one of the people who are distracting and misinforming the President! Peace is coming and you and alike are going out!!!

Nothing shows up in the logs or output of dmesg.  My CPU is a Xeon E5520 2.27GHz and does have 'vmx' in the flags.

A: For some reason, my installed kernel (3.10.0-327.10.0) did not match my modules.  Removing and reinstalling did not fix.  I had to remove the latest kernel, download 3.10.0-327 and install it, and all is well now.  Absolutely no idea why...

Q: How to remove spacing in menu I'm using a menu example I found on this site. Here is jsfiddle. The example shows a background color for the page and another for the menu bar. On my site, the colors will be the same. But when the colors are the same, the sum-menu items appear too far below the main menu item. Would someone please explain how I can remove that space so that the sub-item, like Splash Tasks, is right below the main item, like Splash Mode?
Here is the code being used:

        Home

          <button class="dropbtn">Splash Mode</button>

            Splash Tasks
            How to use Product Mode

          <button class="dropbtn">Product Mode</button>

            Product Tasks
            How to use Product Mode

A: .dropdown-content a:first-child {
    padding-top: 0;
}

That will remove the padding top of the first element in the dropdown menu
In the css you give space to the dropdown elements here:
.dropdown-content a {
    ...
    padding: 12px 16px;
    ...

2018 Slam Questions
1. Is it ethical to prefer certain nonhuman animals over others? If so, what moral criteria should we rely on to determine these preferences?
2. How should we decide whether something an individual has accomplished is an achievement? If something an individual has achieved results in very harmful consequences, should it be considered an achievement?
3. On what moral grounds can universities defend accepting many more graduate students in certain fields than their job markets can sustain? What are the moral arguments about training people for jobs that do not exist?
4. Does Apple have a moral obligation to make the iPhone less harmful and addictive?
5. Is it possible to be a decent or good gentrifier? I can't afford to live in the pricey apartments in the city where I live or houses in the suburbs. I can only afford places that will displace others. What should I do?
6. Must breast feeding be regarded solely as a maternal obligation?
7. We have codes of ethics in my company for individual decision-making. Shouldn't we adopt codes for A.I. algorithms currently used in policing and law enforcement? What ethical guidelines are essential?
8. I have been a nurse for over 20 years. One of the most difficult situations is when there are cross-cultural conflicts. Recently, a woman from Taiwan entered the hospital and was diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumor. The attending physician, in the presence of her family (also from Taiwan), shared this news with her. Everyone was understandably anguished. The family was also distressed the doctor chose to tell the patient about her condition, as the family did not want her to know. How can we use ethics training to best deal with cultural conflicts such as this one?
9. Suppose you are a famous ethicist and have a controversial view. Your view has led to a loss of credibility, and even an audience that you are trying to reach. In short, bad consequences. Wouldn't it make moral sense to refrain from defending those views publicly if this action led to more beneficial consequences?
10. Are superheroes morally responsible for the harm they do to innocent bystanders and to property in their fights with evil?
11. What should I rely on from ethical theories and practice to determine if a policy at my high school is fair?
12. In our media-saturated society, isn't it now morally wrong to continue to search for jurors "who know nothing" for high profile cases?
13. My best friend is an actor. I go to his performances when he gets parts. All of them are pretty awful. Is it unethical for me to fake admiration for my actor friend's performances?
14. My neighbor in the apartment building where I live has a service dog. The apartment owners do not allow pets. I have been suspicious about her exemption from the rule. I decided to do a little surveillance—and my suspicions have been verified. What should I do?
15. To enhance test passing rates, several school systems today devote both resources and time to test preparation--in the process narrowing the curriculum for children to including only those subjects tested. This is legal. Shouldn't it be unethical? When teachers are enrolled in an unethical system, where fulfillment of their responsibilities requires them to harm their students, when do they owe it to themselves and to their students to refuse?
16. Is it ever ethical, and under what circumstances, for an elected official and a lobbyist to be friends?
17. What are your moral responsibilities if you are going to join a movement that has begun online and participate in hashtag activism?
18. What attributes or virtues should an ethical stand-up comedian have?
19. Where and what should be the ethical boundary between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation?
20. If a drug dealer knowingly sells drugs laced with fentanyl and is arrested, should they be charged with attempted murder?
Questions #19 and #20 come from the 2018 event of A2Ethics' Sister City in Slamdom: Winnipeg, Manitoba. The superhero question is a spin-off from our friends at the University of North Carolina's Parr Center for Ethics talk by Philosophy Outreach Director Steve Schwartzer, "The Challenges of Superhero Ethics."

mismoodi on su vaimu seis?
kor står det til med ånda di?
Juhan Viiding (1948–1995) was a professional actor in the Estonian Drama Theatre, acting in several important roles (Peer Gynt, Hamlet etc), wrote film scripts, staged and played in films as well. And, he was one of the most important and most playful poets in the 20th century in Estonia, publishing his most well-known works under the pen-name Jüri Üdi. Jüri Üdi was the principal mould for poetic language for a whole generation; he revolutionised the language of Estonian poetry.
Juhan Viiding's poetry was born of the conditions of historical injustice, stagnation of society and censorship. Allegory and reading between the lines are two keywords reading his poetry. He debuted semi-underground with The Song of a Realistic Angel (1968). In his lines – as well as on the stage – he was light, with lambent wit, radiant, at the same time painfully serious and tense, fighting for the personal freedom of everybody.
His expressive manner of reading and singing his poetry made him a living legend. He is the father of Elo Viiding, one of the most interesting poets of contemporary Estonia.

Hot, long last training hike.
Wednesday morning Ray drops Jen and me off at the I-10 underpass to backpack from 25 minutes from home up to Big Bear, CA. in the San Bernadino Mtns. Jen and Melissa have both backpacked from the US/Mexico border on the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail) to beyond Idllywild. We still have to backpack from the Seven Pines Trailhead junction on the PCT down to the I-10 freeway. We will finish that section on a weekend trip. Unfortunately, Melissa is unable to do this portion of Section C with us.
Here is a link to the Murray Hill Peak Hike we took today, loaded with full backpack weight minus food and extra camera gear weight.
Murray Hill Peak in the distance is a local 7 mile, 2000 feet elevation gain, hot hike. Jen and I started today's hike up to the top at 6am.
About 40 minutes into the hike we join the Clara Burgess Trail.
When I did a search on Clara Burgess I found this interesting history on the Desert Riders.
We aren't looking forward to the 91 degree predicted temperature today. However it is important that we heat acclimate. I've gotten heat exhaustion before and it's not fun.
It's always a joy to see the blooming cactus. This year and last year have been bad wildflower years.
Last Saturday at the Salton Sea.
Erika, Jen and I spent late afternoon and evening at the Salton Sea last week. What a joy. And what a great opportunity it was for me as Erika knows so much more than I about flash. This was a first shooting with a skilled photographer. I loved it. I keep saying I need to join a camera club and not be so solo learning photography. Anyone local reading this, let me know if you want to go shooting sometime, ok?
Erika taught Jen and me a lot.
Erika took this photo of me.
Erika knew this background would be great.
The shoreline is covered with dead Talapia.
Before we headed out to light write an old Gas Station (I posted this picture a few days ago.), I took a couple of shots out over the Salton Sea.
This is the I-10 Freeway underpass in the San Gorgonio Pass near the Whitewater River. Erika, Jen and I went down and light wrote with flash color. Didn't see any PCT hikers, nor anyone else sleeping under the underpass. This is where Jen and I begin our 60 mile backpack up to Big Bear next week.
Jen on our 5:30pm hike today. Training for next week's backpack is slow going these days for me.
Erika and Jen at the Salton Sea.
Two nights ago at the Salton Sea with Erika and Jen. Had a blast night light painting.
Last night we ended up shooting moonlit windmills.
Roger drove up to our park cars while in the desert photographing the moonlit windmills. Thought we were in big trouble until we found out Roger shoots weddings and owns lots of camera gear. We had fun hanging with him for a while.
A Woman Loved By Many.
Rest in peace my friend. Photo of Susan taken at our Ranch in 1989.
ISO 10,000 for this morning hike shot.
PCT 2013, A Backpack from Warner Springs to Hwy 74.
Jen, Melissa and I backpacked a section of the PCT from Warner Springs to Palms to Pines Hwy 74 above our home a couple of months ago.
They have been waiting for me to show some of the photos I shot. At the WPPI Convention I bought Animoto's video software.
Click the link below to watch my first attempt at putting together a slideshow of some of the backpacking photos, hopefully showing how much fun we had.
Copy of PCT 2013, Warner Springs to Hwy 74.
After clicking on the link above, viewing is best when enlarged for full screen (bottom right). And if your stream is slow and stops click in the bottom right corner (in the small screen view) to change to one of the these different stream sizes: 480p (good for computers), 360p (for smart phones).


I like your ideas on government. I'd like to be able to look at a bill and watch it morph over time. Then perhaps one could watch the law change through decades as congress reauthorizes it over and over again.
1. tasting freedom and desiring to have more freedom in all aspects of life.
2. Transparency and the benefits of open source, especially on the perspective of using a wiki to see a congressional bills progress and updates.
Thank you, the designer Joolz is linked from the footer.
As a Sarasota County voter, I'd like to take you up on that offer.
"open." I'd love to have a peek inside to see just how secure it is.
integrity of my vote rests?
I guess I think everything has its place. I think it's more about giving people choices than forcing things to be one way or another. And, in terms of government giving leaders, as much as, the people choices.
Forcing people to be/have/do something… whether close or open… never leads to freedom.
Which I think you get, as you constantly use the phrase, "if you choose".
But, if you give the choice, then support what you support… people are empowered.
Pure free market capitalism is not crash prone at all. Regarding individual business: Free market capitalism is a profit and loss system; and the loss is the most important part. It's what sweeps away the companies which aren't best serving the public. Mr CEO is fine to take all the risks he wants.
The current recession/depression has nothing to do with a failure of capitalism. It is a 'failure' of central banking (fiat currency, artificially low interest rates, inflation, deflation, stagflation, stock market manipulation…none of these are accidents), corporatism, deficit spending (wars, etc), huge government (a billion and one programs, run extremely loosely, burning money), and government intervention (subsidies, bailouts, 'too big to fail').
If you look into how Capitalism works, you'll find it has many prerequisites. "Pure free market capitalism" must have a larger frame work surrounding it in order for it to function as advertised. This framework must attempt to guarantee freedom of entry and participation, guarantee competition, and require full disclosure and openness from both parties in regards to all available information, including potential gains and losses and that both parties comprehend those. Open-source is surprisingly compatible with these things.
Most people who talk about free markets forget about its fundamental requirements.
Anyhow, I really have been not just a user/fan for a long time, but have been trying other ways. Of course, some not so new. I am just put my own social bookmark site built on WordPress in beta (Blogrity.com), as it is a bit different from Jean-Baptiste Jung's WPVote.com, which I lurve (love.) I am looking to open a link directory built on WordPress too, which the site already exists but built on a different script made by a code ninja friend.
I am really happy on how WordPress has progressed and I really meant when I shook your hand at WordCamp Chicago – thank you!
I got my first taste of open source with WordPress. Now, I have added firefox and thunderbird to my tool box.

We regularly hear about many weight loss programs in the market. These programs assure you for lose weight fast. It is also quite upsetting to see many peoples, whom have given their best shot at finishing the programs, then conclude that weight loss programs in general are a total waste of time. They completely lose their sense of self importance and self confidence.
While, choosing an efficient weight loss program would need a great deal of carefulness. Someone who tries to lose some weight through the aid of a structured program is likely to find success than someone who does so only on his or her own. To find best weight loss program, you can visit at https://thedailyreviewer.com/the-shepherds-diet-biblical-belly-breakthrough/.
The program meets your preferences and personal preferences. Unless a plan is in line with all these ingredients, no subject how well-structured it is, it will not be the best and most effective program for you. If you do not need yourself quitting in the middle of weight loss program, see to it that you choose the one which you know you would like and is also simply perfect for the needs you have and goals.
The program doesn't make says of helping you lose a great deal of weight in a very short time. If they do then, that program might be unsafe or an overall total scam. Always remember, a program that seems too good to be true is usually too good to be true.The program comes with diet and exercise strategies. The role of diet and exercise in reaching weight loss is certainly proven and recognized. Consequently, any program that lacks any of these two elements would be very doubtful to bring a positive results.

Mull of Galloway September Open Studios
by Glenda Waterworth | Events, News
I'm delighted to be joining forces with my fellow Spring Fling artists once again for another Open Studios weekend – Friday September 20th – Sunday September 22nd, 10.00am – 5.00pm each day.
Jane Fraser and Gaby Reynolds will be joining Linda Irving in her studio on the road to the Mull of Galloway lighthouse and I'm delighted that Liz Perry will be joining us and exhibiting her work alongside mine here at Fineview Studio.
Liz has an ongoing series of work called 'Memories of Fire' based on her observations of the old forge in our barn here, so it is very appropriate for the work to be seen here where the inspiration came from.
The Rhins of Galloway is the name for the funny handlebar shaped penninsula just west of Stranraer in southern Scotland. You will find us on the edge of Drummore, Scotland's most southerly village. Linda and Jane are both at Linda's studio, just a couple of miles further south on the road to the Mull of Galloway lighthouse.

You're smart, so why are you still struggling? Here's 10 good reasons
My youngest son knows he's gifted when it comes to building with Lego bricks. He can follow directions like nobody's business. He'll tell me when I've accidentally skipped a step. He'll even build new designs straight "from his brain", as he likes to say. They're so good I often post them to instagram so my fans and followers can see his mad building skills.
When it comes to bricks, he knows he's a genius. But when I tell him he's also smart in other ways, he balks.
He's quick to point out all the things he doesn't do well. Like handwriting, or math, and his social skills could use some sharpening, too.
He's 11.
We are all smart in some ways and less so in others.
Fusion Creatives (like me) have a wider breadth of knowledge, but they don't necessarily go as deep as a Chaotic or a Linear might. That can often cause us to think we're "not smart" - especially when compared to others. Yet, being able to see how all the pieces work together gives us a unique advantage that Chaotics only dream about (Linears don't dream about it, they just hire it out.). Likewise, Chaotics are gifted with a focus on the experience of something, while Linears are gifted with the ability to understand, formulate, and implement systems and processes (Not sure about your type? Take my free quiz here).
Like I said in my book, we're all creative. In that same vein, we're all smart. It's just a matter of discovering your zone of genius. For my 11 year old, that's Legos, empathy, and compassion. He is incredibly good at caring for people he cares about. He understands feelings. Pretty smart for an 11 year old. Heck I know some middle-agers who could learn a thing or two from him!
In all my years of working with creative entrepreneurs, however, I find the same pattern coming up over and over. Time and again, I say that six figures is a goal that every creative entrepreneur needs to strive for (for the health and well being of their business and themselves), but I still see smart, brilliantly gifted creatives struggling to make a living wage doing what they love. Even some of those that do hit the six figure mark are still struggling. If you're keeping score, I've seen it with millionaires, too. It's just more zeroes on the end of the problem.
But why? When it's so obvious that you're talented, and maybe even smarter than your industry leader, why do you keep struggling?
Disclaimer: This list makes a few assumptions. I'm no medical practitioner, so I'm making the assumption here that you're an otherwise healthy individual. I'm also assuming you have comparable levels of access and ability as your peers. We're essentially dealing with the "inner game" here, not the socio-economic factors that are often beyond our control. Often there are mental and situational gymnastics at play that are actively (albeit subconsciously) sabotaging your success. Here are 10 reasons I've seen show up in one form or another with my clients (and myself).
I wonder if they might apply to you.
1. S.O.S. - Shiny Object Syndrome
Do I really need to say more than this?
Okay. Fine.
You're easily distracted - either by big ideas, the "shoulds" of others, FOMO, or you've just got too much on your plate for you to focus on one thing long enough to see success. Something has to change.
Yes, I get that sometimes that's easier said than done. That's why I created Dreamblazing and built A-Club around the concept of a 30-hour project. What are you willing to invest 30 hours in? That's about an hour a day for a whole month to move closer to your dreams. Most of us can handle that - and see real progress to boot! It may be slower going, but as Confucius said, it doesn't matter how slow you go so long as you keep moving!
As a Fusion creative, I find it challenging to pick just one thing and stay focused relentlessly on it. I get bored or frustrated. I mean, maybe SOME people can sit for six hours and work on the same thing that whole time, but not me. I need to get up, move, and put my mind on something else. It's in that task shifting that I often get new perspectives on my big projects that help me refine my focus.
Is it less efficient? Maybe. There are different definitions of multi-tasking and task switching. Multitasking is where you're doing multiple activities related to the same goal - like when you're playing piano, you have to use both your hands and your feet as well as read the music on the page. When you drive, you have to watch your gauges, the road, and your mirrors, while your hands and feet are controlling the vehicle. That's multitasking, and based on that definition, most of us can do it with relative ease - when everything is related to the same goal.
Task switching is more problematic, because it's often unrelated tasks. The phone rings, an email pings, your kid comes in and tells you they're hungry. Then it's time for an appointment. You've been bouncing around, letting your day run you. Research says rapid task switching can "waste" up to 40% of your day. That sounds a lot Shiny Object Syndrome to me - where you're trying anything and everything under the sun with no clear, consistent direction.
But that's not what I do. I have no more than three specific projects on my calendar each day. It could be a coaching call, client work, or my own content creation. Then I have routine tasks, like lunch, piano practice, PEACE time. They are scheduled blocks of time wherein I am focused solely on the task at hand. So I'm not multi-tasking in the traditional sense of the word, but I am working on multiple projects in the same day. That limits my time loss due to "task shifting". I've incorporated weekly co-working times in A-Club for this reason. We work in 45 minute blocks then do a debrief at the end.
We get a LOT done in 45 minutes.
If you're throwing spaghetti at the wall and not seeing any forward momentum, it's time for a change. Which brings me to reason #2...
2. You don't have a clear, effective plan
If you fail to plan, you're planning to fail. So goes the old adage. Chaotics in the room are reeling, I know. Planning doesn't have to be rigid, or feel like a prison. It's more like a road map. If you don't care where you're going, then you don't need a map. But if you want to see the ocean, you need to know three things: where you're at now, where the ocean's at, and what's between you and the ocean. Then, you've got to move in the direction of the ocean. Otherwise - SQUIRREL! - and you're no closer to the ocean that's calling your name.
Eisenhower said that plans are useless. By that, he meant that once you've made a plan, you have to be willing to accept that nothing may go according to plan... because, remember, you can't control the strike zone. Eisenhower also said that planning is everything, by which he meant the act of making the plan. Why? Because it answers those three questions: Where am I? Where am I trying to go? What's between me and the goal? You can't begin to make a clear, effective plan without that data.
But even with a plan, you've still got to take action. Which brings me to reason #3...
3. You're not doing the work
The truth hurts, right? But there's no judgement here, because there could be any number of reasons why the work's not getting done. Maybe you're sick, or a family member died and you need to take a hiatus. That's what I did last year when my Aunt died. Sometimes we just need to take a break, step back, and analyze our priorities. That's actually an appropriate thing for a business owner to do.
I have a client who has a day job and she's been working on building her own business for a couple of years now. She told me up front that she had, at most, 5 hours per week to work on building her business. We often joke about "riding the snail" because it took almost a year for her to develop her opt-in. That seems like a long time, right? Well, it was just her, and that was as fast as she could move. But she kept moving. We didn't judge or compare her progress to anyone but her. And just a few months later, she's got paying clients. It's not enough to quit her day job yet, and she's still moving very slowly, but she's making progress. As long as she keeps doing the work, it's only a matter of time until she can kiss her boss goodbye.
But there are times when she needs to take a break. She's a Chaotic, and she does her best work when her energy is high. When her energy starts flagging, she can't just power through like a Linear or Fusion might. She's not a machine. She needs to stop. And when she stops, the whole business stops.
She owns that. There's no judgement. It's just reality. Until you build your business to the point where parts of it can run without you, the simple fact remains that if you're not doing the work, you're not going to see the success you're looking for.
But you could also be hustling all the time and feeling like you're working, and you're focused on the wrong work. As the owner, your focus needs to be on IPA. No, not the beer (although, some days you might feel like you need a drink!). In this case, IPA has two meanings: Income Producing Activities, and Important Personal Activities. These are the things that only you can do that must be done by you in order to get the benefit from the activity. Simply put, as the business owner, you can't be trying to do all the things all the time, which brings me to reason #4...
4. You don't have (the right) support(s)
Whether you're trying to do too much, or just trying to do it all by yourself, the fact remains that you're going to need help to grow. Whether that help comes in the form of automation, apps or other digital assistance, or that help manifests as a full/part time VA or other team member, you can't build a six figure business by yourself. Even if you're selling one item for $100,000, you've still got to market and execute on delivery (see "shipping" in the next point).
You're going to need help. It's finding the right balance of help that makes the difference. Depending on where you live and the demands on your life and work, you may need more or less help than someone else. I urge you to NOT compare your needs to others and be honest with yourself. If you've got a chronic illness (I've had several clients who struggled with this), don't expect to move at breakneck speed toward your goals. And be willing to ask for help with things you could maybe easily do by yourself so that you free up your "spoons" to work on the other things that need your attention.
Let go of the guilt, shame, or anxiety you might be feeling, too. They only compound the problem.
You can't follow the path from Phoenix to the ocean if you're in Cleveland. Own the reality of where you are (without judgement) and the resources at your disposal to achieve success. Do what you can as you are able, and don't begrudge the fact that your rate of progress might be different than someone else's.
It doesn't matter whether you need a coach, a consultant, a mentor, an accountability partner, a community of people, a babysitter, a bookkeeper, or any number of supports, all that matters is that you start somewhere and get the help you need to succeed.
5. You're not "shipping" consistently
At the time of this writing, I am a lousy piano player. I want to improve, but frankly, I find no enjoyment in practicing. I block out an hour on my calendar, but resistance gets the better of me and many days I don't sit down, open the lesson book, and do the work. But when I DO the work, wonder of wonders, my skills improve. I can play a few songs you'll actually recognize!
None of that matters if I don't put that skill set to use by performing or recording the music I'm making. That's shipping. You can plan, and practice, and do the work all day and if you never execute, if you never "ship", you stay stuck. People don't know about your work. It may as well be collecting dust in a storage unit somewhere. This, above everything else, keeps you from seeing success.
At the moment, I'm no Chopin. But I can play what I've written, and people like it enough to come to my shows and buy my music. So I keep working on it, keep sharing it, and keep looking to see who is showing up. If I didn't share it, I'd just be working in an echo chamber, which doesn't promote growth (for myself or my business). Remember, feedback doesn't happen until you ship, and it's in feedback where you learn the most about your offerings.
Seth Godin, who appears to have coined the term, even developed a workbook to help you map your shipping strategy. But again, there's a difference between planning, doing, and sharing what you've done with the world. Even after you've shared it with the world, there's a dangerous assumption I see too many creative entrepreneurs make, which is where point #6 comes in.
6. You're not asking for the sale
Curse that Ray Kinsella! So many people have mis-quoted "Field of Dreams" that it makes me want to cry every time I hear it. "If you build it, they will come" has become the subconscious mantra of so many creatives - and it needs to STOP!
Remember, it took Ray MONTHS and his family ended up on the brink of losing everything before the first player came from beyond the corn.
One dead ball player does not a business make.
It always slays me when a client tells me how, by some magical miracle, they got a lead, a sale, or a new client. After a little investigating, I learn that it was after they shared a post, or made an offer (for something else) that opened the door to the new business.
This is when I remind them: It's not magic; it's marketing. (tweet this)
If you're doing the work, make the ask. Invite people to learn more, to work with you, to buy your stuff. That's not being pushy. That's letting people know you're open for business.
If you never let people know you're open for business, how are they supposed to buy from you?
The reason Field of Dreams worked is because that one dead ball player went back and told his dead ball player friends about the field. Which means someone has to be the first to learn about you and then spread the word!
Don't rely on just one person. Invite lots of people. Ask for the sale. And once you've asked, be ready to accept their payment! It may sound silly, but there's a fear here that leads us into #7 AND #8!
7. You're not open to receive (money)
"What are you talking about? Of course I'm open!" you say. "Are you nuts?"
Allow me to get into a little brain science here. I've said before that we train people how to treat us. We also train our brains. Sometimes, we've unconsciously trained our brains to turn money away.
This isn't just about money, though that's usually how it materializes (no pun intended). It's the moment you deflect anything meant to be a gift. It could be a compliment, an actual gift, help (see point #4), new business, and yes, money.
It's often tied to the stories we've programmed into our brains about money. If you think money's the root of all evil, why would you want it in your possession? If you don't feel deserving of it, you'll push it away.
It's sneaky. Insidious, even. You deflect a compliment here, a small token of appreciation there. Next thing you know, you've become my mother - that person who always complained that no one would help her, but every time someone offered, she said "I can do it myself!"
As I've said before, just because you can, doesn't mean you should. And just because you're good at it doesn't mean you should be doing it (hear me Fusions?!?!). Open up to the offers that are all around you. You don't have to accept them all, but try saying yes to a few you might have otherwise brushed off and see how that opens your money flow.
8. You're not comfortable with having (money)
"You're talking crazy again, Lisa. I'd LOVE to have more money. I just DON'T!"
I hear you. I've personally worked on this for years. on the surface, it looks like #7, but it's different. You're great at receiving money, you just can't hold onto it. I've seen "master manifesters" who can literally get a total stranger to put them up in a swanky hotel for a week, or buy them thousands of dollars in clothes and jewelry, but can't manage their money to save their butt. I've experienced clients who spend their money as soon as it comes in the door - a reflexive action, not a move of necessity. Sometimes the money needs to move quickly, and you may have already planned where it needs to go - especially if you're still in Early Struggle, when money can be tight. But this is the act of spending without considering your budget. Impulse buying, being overgenerous, or generally giving money (or possessions) away without considering your real needs first.
When people think that having money is a problem, they dump it as soon as they can.
The story I told myself was that having money was a BIG responsibility, and that I wasn't capable of handling it. Despite having training as a financial advisor. Despite years helping other people handle and manage their own income. Due to years of inaccurate brain programming, I simply believed that getting money was okay, but having it was too big a task for me to handle. As a result, money always went out as fast as it came in.
So I shifted my story and started recognizing that I am capable. It is appropriate and safe for me to have money, and that having money is beneficial to me. It allows me to be more generous with people. It allows me to help more people. It allows me to care for my own health and well being. I looked for proof of this new story; evidence for the file clerk in my head.
It was slow going at first, but as the evidence mounted to support my new money story, things began to shift. Not only could I price my offerings differently, I also retained more of my income. That retained income allowed me to be generous in new ways - like launching the Incubator. It also allowed me to have experiences I'd only ever dreamed about.
While I'm not what I'd call rich, I think Mae West said it best when she said "I've been rich and I've been poor. Believe me, rich is better!" If that idea triggers you, it might be worth looking at the stories you tell yourself about having money.
9. You're overextended
Sometimes, it's a symptom of #8, and sometimes it's a function of circumstance, but over-extension rarely leaves anyone feeling like they're successful. You don't have to be a struggling artist subsisting on your credit cards to experience this phenomenon. I've witnessed multi-millionaires, driving $80,000 cars, living in multi-million dollar homes scrambling because they're investment rich and cash poor.
One of the reasons Apple has weathered so many storms is because they have a large cash reserve. Many companies that survived the Great Depression were companies that had little to no debt or plenty of cash on hand. According to a report on Bitcoin Börsen, at a time when credit was easy, people were actually borrowing money to invest in the stock market. So it's little wonder that the market tanked as debt became harder to acquire. Charles Merrill, co-founder of Merrill Lynch, wrote a letter encouraging all clients to "lighten your obligations or, better still, to pay them off entirely" since Merrill Lynch had decided to only invest in larger companies that had no funded debt. They saw this as a way to weather the coming financial storm, and it seems, nearly 100 years later, that it worked.
I've faced this one, too. Unexpected medical bills that wipe out your savings (if you had any to begin with). Family troubles. Collapsing business markets. Bankruptcy. It happens. Debt happens, and it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you, or that you're a bad person. It means you've got a leverage problem, and your best bet is to find your way out of it as fast as possible. Create some financial breathing room for yourself or ask help from the experienced debt consolidation services so you'll likely feel a lot more successful.
10. Impostor Syndrome
I'll defer to Tanya Geisler, when she says:
"Maybe you'll 'be ready' to sign the deal, say YES to the opportunity, write the book, start the organization when you've FINALLY got the degree, lost the weight, received the promotion, made the move, found the right partner…you can fill in your own blank here. That's your Impostor Complex talking and it's throwing stall tactics your way."
Smart people often struggle with Impostor Syndrome. Each type comes at it from a different angle. Chaotics look at what they can't do yet and see it as a detriment. Fusions look at everyone around them, and comparisonitis and perfectionism paralyzes them. Linears look at what they don't have yet and drive harder at a time when backing off might be a better choice for their health and well-being.
Impostor Syndrome stunts your growth, because you're constantly questioning yourself instead of staying the course on your own 20-Mile March. Hands down, consistency is the number one thing that helps a creative entrepreneur achieve success. It also helps negate Impostor Syndrome. Stay focused on the steps instead of the "strike zone" and you'll keep moving toward your definition of success.
This list is not exhaustive.
Like I said, these are the reasons I that crop up repeatedly with creative entrepreneurs I meet or work with. You may have a few of your own. If so, please share them in the comments and be part of our rising tide!
If you're ready to get support to navigate these challenges, there are still a few spots open in A-Club, and I'm accepting new applicants for the Creative Freedom Incubator as well. Don't let another month go by without the (right) supports for your growing business!
Two Ways To See Success Quickly
Entrepreneurs dream of success. We crave it. We stalk it. And some of us continue to be eluded by it. You've probably written down a number -- or certain other goals -- and then began bowing at the altar of "if only." "If only I could have x, then I'd be successful." "If only y […]

How to calculate the Perimeter of a Circle?
The perimeter of a circle is most commonly referred to as the circumference of a circle and we will use the word circumference for our explanation below.
Look at this diagram, here you can see the diameter – the distance from one side of the circle to the other side.
Now to calculate the circumference of the circle we multiply pi (∏) by the diameter (d) of the circle.
∏ is a fixed value equal to 3.14, or to be exact 3.1415926535897932384 but = 3.14 will do for our calculations.
Calculating the circumference using diameter.
We now know what the diameter is and the formula to use so now let's calculate the circumference.
And there you have your answer, the circumference of a 10cm diameter circle is 31.4cm. If you want to be really exact you could leave your answer as 10∏.
