Q: Convert text files into Excel workbooks and call a macro on another module I am trying to convert text files into Excel workbooks, open them, and then call a macro on another module (Call DataCleanBehfMRI). Then do the same thing, looping through text files in other subfolders.
Folder structure:
V:\Behavioral\Twin_behaviorTry\19510196-1\WorkingMemory.txt

V:\Behavioral\Twin_behaviorTry\19510197-1\WorkingMemory.txt

etc.
So each "WorkingMemory.txt" file contains data to run Macros on, for each subject (19510196-1,19510197-1, etc.).
I tried to loop through individual files, within multiple folders and tried to adapt it with text files but it just skips the code from Workbooks.OpenText filename:=folderPath & filename, _ to end if.
Sub LoopSubfoldersAndFiles()

Dim foo As Object
Dim folder As Object
Dim subfolders As Object
Dim MyFile As String
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim CurrFile As Object

With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    .EnableEvents = False
    .Calculation = xlCalculationManual
End With

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set folder = fso.GetFolder("V:\Behavioral\Twin_behaviorTry\")
Set subfolders = folder.subfolders
MyFile = "*.txt"

For Each subfolders In subfolders

    Set CurrFile = subfolders.Files

    For Each CurrFile In CurrFile

        If CurrFile.Name = MyFile Then

            Workbooks.OpenText filename:=folderPath & filename, _
              Origin:=xlMSDOS, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:= _
              xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=True, Tab:=True, Semicolon:=False, _
              Comma:=False, Space:=True, Other:=False, FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), _
              Array(2, 1), Array(3, 1), Array(4, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

            Set wb = ActiveWorkbook

            'Call a subroutine here to operate on the just-opened workbook
            Call DataCleanBehfMRI
            'close open work book

            wb.Close SaveChanges:=False

            filename = Dir
        End If
    Next

Next

Set fso = Nothing
Set folder = Nothing
Set subfolders = Nothing

With Application
    .EnableEvents = True
    .Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
    .ScreenUpdating = True
End With

End Sub

A: Instead of the line:
If CurrFile.Name = MyFile Then

Try using the line:
If Dir(MyFile) = CurrFile.Name Then

And it should work, hopefully.

A: I see at least 3 issues with your code.

*

*The first was already mentioned in  Mikku's comment and Vikram's answer:  If CurrFile.Name = MyFile Then will never be true as you are comparing a filename (eg WorkingMemory.txt with the string *.txt. You can correct this by using the Right-Function to compare only the rightmost 4 chararacters. As an alternative you could use the like-operator: If CurrFile.Name like MyFile Then which will consider the wildcard - character. I would give the advice to use the lcase-function so you can catch also a file WorkingMemory.TXT:
If lcase(CurrFile.Name) like "*.txt" Then

*The second thing is that you shouldn't use the same variables for collections (subfolders, CurrFile) and the variables you use to loop over this collection using For Each. Although it seems to work in this case, there is no guarantee. In your case, no need to save the collection into an intermediate variable, use a logic like For Each subfolder in folder.subfolders and For Each currFile in subfolder.Files.

*The third thing is that in Workbook.Open, you are using a undeclared variable folderPath, so the filename will be wrong (and the open will fail). Advice: Put Option Explicit at the top of your module, this enforces that all variables needs to be declared and you catch such errors much easier. I would suggest to use an intermediate variable to create the full filename before you open it.
Some other things to mention:

*

*Workbook.Open is a function that returns the opened workbook, so you can assign the result directly to your wb-variable.

*Pass the Workbook-Variable as parameter to DataCleanBehfMRI-routine so that this routine knows which workbook is should handle.
Sub DataCleanBehfMRI(wb as Workbook)

*The Dir-command at the end of your inner loop is useless, it looks like it is a relict from earlier attempts.
So your code could look like this:
Const baseFolder = "V:\Behavioral\Twin_behaviorTry\"

Set folder = fso.GetFolder("V:\Behavioral\Twin_behaviorTry\")
Dim subfolder as object
For Each subfolder In folder.subfolders
    For Each currFile In subfolder.Files
        If lcase(currFile.Name) like "*.txt" then
            dim fullFileNameas string
            fullFileName=  baseFolder & subFolder.Name & currFile.Name
            Debug.Print "I will open now " & fullFileName
            set wb = Workbooks.OpenText(filename:=fullFileName... )
            DataCleanBehfMRI wb
       End If
    Next currFile
Next subFolder

If the routine still doesn't do what you expect it to do, you should use the debugger and step thru your code and see what happens.

Rugby: New Zealand more focused on Springboks than World Cup for now
TOKYO (Reuters) - New Zealand are focusing all their energy on the World Cup opener against South Africa on Saturday with coaches happy to have their most challenging match of the pool stages first up.
FILE PHOTO: Rugby Union - New Zealand Press Conference - The Lensbury, London, Britain - November 6, 2018 New Zealand assistant head coach Ian Foster during a press conference Action Images via Reuters/Peter Cziborra
The two old rivals, who have won the World Cup five times between them, meet in Yokohama to kick-start the tournament and lay down a marker for the weeks to come.
With Italy, Namibia and Canada the other teams in Pool B, regardless of Saturday's result New Zealand and South Africa would expect to qualify for the quarter-finals.
It means the All Blacks, who are chasing a third consecutive World Cup, will be holding nothing back on Saturday.
"We're actually not thinking too far ahead in this tournament right now because this weekend is a pretty big weekend, isn't it?" assistant coach Ian Foster said on Tuesday.
"And it's kind of made it really good for us as coaches because we can just put all our energy into that first game.
"Whichever way it goes then I guess we can sort out the plan that we follow after that."
South Africa come into the tournament having only lost once in their last seven matches, including a draw with New Zealand in July. The Springboks were victorious when the two sides met in Wellington this time last year.
That means New Zealand are way of the threat posed by coach Rassie Erasmus' team and are looking at the match more as a standalone contest than a World Cup tone setter.
"We're at a heightened state always when we play South Africa," said Foster. "I know the World Cup is big but I guess our focus has been on this game for a while."

Gardening in October in Victoria is absolutely glorious. There are beautiful sunny days and plants are getting into their growth cycle and really taking off. Here are some things to do in your garden this month.
The best thing about spring is there are lots of things to plant.
This month, it's all about palms. The jungle look is on-trend and palms certainly say tropical jungle. Despite looking tropical, there are plenty that do well in cooler climates like Victoria's.
For example, Bangalow palms (Archontophoenix cunninghamiana) are popular in Victoria. An adaptable plant, it has a single stem and grows in partial shade to full sun. But if you're in an area that gets frosts, consider a dwarf date palm (Phoenix roebelenii). Ideal for smaller gardens, this elegant palm grows to about 3m tall and grows well in sunny to part shaded position.
Plant palms in a pot and bring them inside for the jungle look indoors. The kentia palm (Howea forsteriana) adapt well to indoor conditions and thrive in low light. Only water when the top of the soil starts to dry out.
It's also a great time to plant perennials and annuals. Good choices are French marigolds, and alyssum and for a riot of colour, select petunias. All three are hardy sun lovers.
There are plenty of edibles to plant too. Capsicums, eggplant, zucchini, and of course tomatoes. There are dozens of tomatoes to choose from. Mix it up with some heritage varieties. They have great colours and flavours.
A favourite is the Black Russian. They are great producers of large flavoursome, reddish-black fruit.
Spring is a great time to be out in the garden. There is so much to do. Give spring flowering plants a prune to remove spent flowers. This will also encourage bushy growth.
Improve garden beds with compost before planting out vegies, herbs and flowers. Add some dolomite lime where you're planting tomatoes. Adding some dolomite will help prevent blossom end rot (a brown rot that occurs on unripe fruit where the flower originated).
Digging all the goodies into the soil will help enrich the soil, increase its organic matter and ensure it retains moisture.
As plants burst into life, the entire garden will benefit from some fertiliser. Use liquid feed for plants that are actively growing.
Don't neglect pots either, give them some slow release fertiliser and keep an eye on watering needs. Pots tend to dry out quickly as the weather warms.
This month, there's plenty to pick. Continue to harvest winter sown vegetables. Legumes such as snow peas, peas and broad beans are ready. Harvest continually and they will keep producing. Lettuces and silverbeet are ready to pick as are carrots. Pick bunches of fresh herbs too.
So there you have it, lots to do in the October garden.

A Necessary Inspiration
Posted on August 5, 2019 by MontanaWomenWriters under Marsha Nash Sultz, Montana Women Writers, Uncategorized
By Marsha Nash Sultz
Sometimes inspiration sneaks up behind you and whispers in your ear. Sometimes it knocks you over the head with great vigor. In my case, frustration once drove me to create a solution for the unknowable.
Years ago, I was interested in family genealogy to the point of obsession. Where did I come from? Whose genetic oomph propelled me to become me? I was hip-deep in Ancestry.com when I discovered that my great-grandfather's information ended abruptly. He was born during the Civil War in a small town in Tennessee and raised as an orphan. The courthouse records, and the courthouse, were destroyed by the townspeople to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Yankees.
What? Who destroys their own records?
After searching to no avail for another month I sat back, dumbfounded and upset. I wanted to know the beginning of Great-Grandpa Sam's life. The only thing I knew from my Aunt Margie was that he was a sweet man, an orphan who was raised by neighbors. That wasn't enough for me.
What does a writer do when confronted with a bad ending? She writes a new one.
I took the bare bones of setting, time period and characters and created my own small town, Benson's Furnace, Tennessee. I led with a skirmish set during the Civil War in which a wounded Confederate captain is forced to remain behind, in secret. What ensues is forbidden love, betrayal and misunderstanding between certain female citizens of the town and our Captain. Twenty-five years later, he decides to return to Benson's Furnace to atone for his past behavior.
My story becomes a saga of Southern post-war life in a small town where no one wants to talk about the past. Unfortunately, the captain's appearance brings up memories of southern defeat and shame and the unthought-of parentage of Sam, an unintended result of the captain's liaison with the wrong woman.
This story is wildly different from Sam's real life. He married a local girl, fathered three children and moved to West Tennessee to become a cotton farmer.
Do I owe Sam the truth? Did my imagination bend reality to the point of denying the existence of an authentic life?
I can't help but think that I've improved the story while paying tribute to a relative whose history remains a blank in the record book. As they say in bad detective movies, names have been changed to protect the innocent.
Besides, everyone needs a satisfying ending – to a story, to a novel or to a life.
Threads of DNA
Posted on May 27, 2019 by MontanaWomenWriters under Janice McCaffrey, Montana Women Writers, Uncategorized, writers
By Janice McCaffrey
I've been a genealogist for over forty-years. When I began there were no computers. I wrote letters to government registries, cemetery offices, and church personnel asking for help. Even enclosing the SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) didn't guarantee a reply.
With the onset of online digitized records, books, family trees, and photos, I felt like a kid in a candy store. And most of the goodies were free!
Then Genealogical DNA testing came into vogue. First I had my son send his saliva off for three tests: 1) his ethnicity 2) his fathers, fathers, fathers DNA matches and 3) his mothers, mothers, mothers DNA matches. Years later I sent my own sample to a different organization. I like to imagine how my ancestors might have lived through the centuries.
Long before the DNA results I'd learned that there is no royal blood coursing through my veins. My ancestors were hard working farmers and tradesman (blacksmiths, weavers, saddle & harness makers, teachers, telegraph clerk, and prison turnkey). They migrated from the United Kingdom to Canada and eventually my father to the US moving to better lives. But, yes, we had bastards born out of wedlock, alcoholics, gamblers who lost fortunes, and some say insanity (though not proven).
A couple years ago my daughter and I visited Marseille France. The first day we strolled along the rampart of Fort Saint Jean beside the vibrant blue and green hues of the Mediterranean Sea. We stayed in Panier, the mysteriously ancient looking Old Town, and soaked up its ambiance. Then riding in a rental car keeping up with speeding traffic I caught a second's image of a handsome bearded man standing on the sidewalk laughing with friends. He wore the traditional Moroccan jabador—mid-calf, off-white, cotton tunic worn over baggy trousers—and Muslim taqiyah cap.
I fell in love!
And a story began to weave itself through my brain. My protagonist, Madge a sixty-something widow, visits Marseille and finds herself on a quest. She must travel back in time to 12 century BC Lebanon to save the Phoenician civilization from the marauding Sea Peoples (see Ancient History Encyclopedia online for historic background).
Every few weeks I check my DNA results because people's names are added as new DNA results match mine and as the organization's DNA bank grows they tweak individual ethnicity reports. Recently I noticed that my ethnicity percentages had been recalculated a smidgen. Geographic areas are listed with descriptions of its peoples and their migrations. The West Middle East region had been added to my report. I clicked on it and read the history. At first I sat silent—in awe.
Then in delight—I laughed out loud.
Traces of the ancient DNA I proudly carry match Phoenician remains. Threads of my DNA are telling me stories to share.
Hope & Joy in a Classic Tale
Posted on December 10, 2018 by MontanaWomenWriters under Fiction Writing, fictional characters, Holidays, Janice McCaffrey, Montana Women Writers, Uncategorized, writers
While pondering the upcoming holidays my stream of consciousness meandered over past memories and future dreams. A few quiet moments of reflection led of course to Dickens' ghosts. My favorite version is The Muppet Christmas Carol with Michael Caine.
I love the little mice bookkeepers working dutifully and diligently in the cold office under the supervision of the kind-hearted Bob Cratchit performed by Kermit. Best of all though is the interplay between Rizzo the Rat acting as sidekick to Gonzo while he narrates the story as Charles Dickens himself.
My thoughts bumped over the moral of the story and what it means in today's world. I got stuck on 'don't be stingy' but wanted more. So what else is Dickens telling us?
On enotes.com's website where they proclaim "We're the Literature Experts" I found an article by Christian Themes (literary essentials: Christian fiction and nonfiction) titled A Christmas Carol Themes. Let me paraphrase:
Scrooge's initial penny-pinching reflects the values taking hold during the Industrial Revolution. Dickens illustrates what happens when individuals view relationships and other people through their financial worth. The author exposes the tremendous gap between the rich and the poor.
Then he illustrates a solution, individual redemption. The world becomes a better place almost immediately after Scrooge changes his outlook. The story implies that a renewed connection to humanity is, in fact, the very essence of redemption. His change is not introspective and personal; it is outward-looking and social.
While the results of Scrooge's change didn't alter the social structure itself, the compassion he showed to individual people did change the social relationships they shared. Despair turned to hope. isolation to belonging, and unhappiness to joy.
Wow! And I thought it was just fun to watch.
Yes, it's a Christian based tale, but certainly can be applied to all of us no matter our beliefs. Let's follow Scrooge's example, enhance our relationships, and join Tiny Tim in his prayer.
"God bless us, every one!"
Besides Having More Money: The Rich in Fiction
Posted on October 15, 2018 by MontanaWomenWriters under Fiction Writing, fictional characters, Karen Wills, Montana Women Writers, River with no Bridge
By Karen Wills
There's a famous, though perhaps apocryphal, exchange between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. Fitzgerald says, "You know, the rich are different from you and me." Hemingway responds, "Yes. They've got more money."
I've been pondering wealth and its effects and just how authors have depicted very rich characters in fiction. Pat Barker's novel, The Silence of the Girls, is set during the Trojan Wars with characters out of Homer's Iliad. One of her characters, Agamemnon, is a nasty, boundary-ignoring king who never learned to share. He possesses vast wealth and vast power. He takes Briseis, a high-born captive woman awarded by the army to Achilles, away from him. He is brutal to Briseis, lacks honor in his dealings with Achilles, mistreats the powerless, and lies to his soldiers. But he pays a price in his greatest hero Achilles' refusal to fight, the scorn of his Greek officers, and the costs of prolonged war. Although we don't see it in Barker's story, which centers on Briseis, Agamemnon comes to a bad end in spite of all his gold, concubines, and power when he returns home to his wife.
Move ahead to Charlotte Bronte's novel, Jane Eyre, in which a plain governess discovers that the wealthy, brooding, yet attractive master of the mansion has a mad wife kept in the attic. It appears to Jane that our tortured hero is an innocent victim of fate. But wait, in the sixties another British author, Jean Rhys, started puzzling over the madwoman. The result was a new novel, The Wide Sargasso Sea. Since reading it neither I, nor many others, have been able to see Mr. Rochester as anything but a money and power-hungry monster. His naïve first bride loses freedom, fortune, and sanity at the hands of this now rich and powerful villain. He even eventually gains smart, loving, caring Jane as his wife. But before that, the madwoman/victim inflicts some serious damage of her own.
Now back to F. Scott Fitzgerald and The Great Gatsby, that story of wealthy scofflaws pursuing an amoral version of the American Dream. I'll focus on Tom Buchanan, born into the upper class with an ego-fed sense of entitlement and an Agamemnon-like disdain for those less privileged. When Tom's wife commits a hit and run, he buys them out of trouble that threatens to upset their lives. As the story ends, fate hasn't seemed to exact a price for his corruption and carelessness with the lives of others. But I take comfort in the fact that The Great Gatsby was written and set in the mid-twenties. We all know what happened at the end of that decade.
These three characters, arrogant and immoral, are three different authors' depictions of the very rich, written and set in three different time periods. They tend to be villains and authors find them useful antagonists. I've been trying to think of any wealthy character who challenges these recurring character types.
Can you think of any?

What Our Characters Keep
Posted on August 13, 2018 by MontanaWomenWriters under fictional characters, Karen Wills, Montana Women Writers, writers
"All these items you're safeguarding are, in essence, the relics of your life's defining moments." Chip and Dan Heath, The Power of Moments
Authors can depict and clarify fictional characters by their keepsakes. Sometimes such objects are discovered and loved in a protagonist's childhood because they're connected to influential adults.
In Richard Powers', The Overstory, Nick Hoel, destined to become an artist, is fascinated by a series of photographs taken every month since 1903 of the sentinel chestnut on his family's farm in Iowa. He keeps the stack of photos intact throughout his life which becomes as singular as the chestnut itself. The tree and the photographs ultimately shape Nick—his values, his devotion to one woman, and his fate.
In another of my favorite novels, A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, the aristocrat Count Alexander Rostov is sentenced during the Russian Revolution to life under house arrest in the Metropol, Moscow's most luxurious hotel. Moved to a cramped attic room, he must choose only a few possessions to take with him. One choice is a portrait of his deceased younger sister, Helena. He loved her, and her portrait also evokes memories of Idlehour, his family's country estate. He associates the painting with his idyllic boyhood as part of a refined, privileged, and noble family. The siblings' history shows the foolishness and sometimes cruelty of the old life as well. Both Helena and Idlehour are part of the beloved lost past. But our charming Count might still have a most surprising future.
In Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch, thirteen-year-old Theo rescues a precious painting following a terrorist attack on the museum where the work by the Dutch master Fabritius is part of an exhibit. The attack leaves Theo's mother dead. He carries the little painting with him for years, never revealing that he has it. Its beauty sustains him through grief, loneliness, and one of the most interesting friendships ever created by an author. At the novel's end, he ponders everything that has happened, and realizes that he kept the painting first and foremost because it is so touching and exquisite.
He thinks, "And I add my own love to the history of people who have loved beautiful things, and looked out for them…while passing them along literally from hand to hand, singing out brilliantly from the wreck of time to the next generation of lovers, and the next."
What our characters choose to keep safe can help define them. If we accept that a bit of ourselves exists in each of our characters, perhaps their keepsakes help define us, too.

Rep. Adam Putnam
"We believe that we have to unleash that creative spirit. We believe that we can rely on the private sector with help from the government to do those things which individuals cannot do for themselves."
Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers
"Our colleagues on the other side of the aisle often offer solutions that are based in Washington, D.C. – either a greater role for the federal government or more spending at the federal level, and I couldn't disagree more."
Rep. Paul Ryan
"We Republicans believe that the more money a worker has in their paycheck, the more freedom they have for themselves and their family. That's good for the economy."
Rep. Eric Cantor
"What we've got to do in order to compete though is make sure we don't beat ourselves at home. If you look at the litigation environment in this country, if you look at the overly burdensome regulations in this country, if you look at the tax structure, we are tying the hands of our companies behind their backs."

SHOCK REPORT: NIH Is Developing 'Behavioral' Vaccines…
(Slay News) – The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) is developing new "behavioral" vaccines, according to reports.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the taxpayer-funded NIH, has been working on the new vaccines that seek to change people's behavior.
NIDA outlines the development of the vaccinations in its strategic plan.
The agency promotes the promise of "anti-addiction vaccines aimed at eliciting antibodies that block the effects of a specific drug."
The plan states that the vaccines are being developed to combat drug addiction by altering a person's behavior.
Certainly, drug addiction is a huge problem across America.
Opioid addiction leads the way and takes more than 140 American lives every day.
The opioid problem is, in part, due to lethal fentanyl being peddled.
Addiction to other drugs, including meth and, of course, alcohol, also has tragic and often deadly consequences.
The quest for an anti-addiction vaccine began in earnest when Drs. Nora D. Volkow, NIDA director, and Francis S. Collins, then-NIH director.
In a New England Journal of Medicine Special Report in 2017, they called on scientists and pharmaceutical companies to help develop vaccines specific against opioids.
The quest for such treatments continues.
According to Chemical and Engineering News, in the case of heroin, the behavioral vaccine works by stimulating "a person's immune system to produce antibodies that bind to heroin.
"The antibodies would block the drug from crossing the bloodstream into the brain, stopping the person from experiencing a high and preventing a relapse."
In short, these antibodies "would shut down the narcotic before it could take root in the body, or in the brain," according to The New York Times.
Many critics of the vaccine are uncomfortable with the biological approach to addiction embraced by NIDA.
NIDA plan would overlook the root cause of the addiction, which often comes back to previous trauma.
However, NIDA sees the problem in less personal terms.
"We have identified many of the biological and environmental factors [of addiction] and are beginning to search for the genetic variations that contribute to the development and progression of the disease," Volkow, NIDA's director, said in 2007.
A flier promoting Volkow's presentation to the Commonwealth Club of California in 2013 reads that she believes "that all addictions can be eliminated if the brain's receptors can be controlled."
Some regard such remarks as Orwellian or disturbingly similar to the more subtle dystopia envisioned in "Brave New World."
NIDA's "brain disease" model not only enriches psychiatric drugmakers and Big Pharma, but it ignores all the societal reasons for drug addiction.
"Even the most effective anti-addiction vaccine can't cure the underlying factors that make people prone to using drugs, including poverty, violence, and lack of opportunity," Angela Garcia wrote in the Los Angeles Times.
"[The] underlying issues of addiction causality, including inequality, hopelessness, and the human desire for pleasure, cannot be addressed by a vaccine alone."
Certainly, drug addiction has features of a social disease, and the areas where it's concentrated reveal something about our broader culture and the daily conditions in which people find themselves.
People don't seek an escape from drugs or alcohol for no reason at all, and some do become addicted.
Nor should we ignore the fact that even as lawsuits against opioid makers and sellers have proceeded, the opioid treatment drug Suboxone was a top seller in 2018 with sales of $859 million.
Drug addiction can clearly be a drug industry profit center.

Indeed, Acura set out to create a sports-sedan that would set an industry benchmark in the sports-sedan segment, and they have definitely accomplished that goal with the TLX! With a host of new features and technologies, and many returning exceptional Acura features, we think this latest model has something Acura enthusiasts will be thrilled with, too.
The TLX is the successor to the TL.
The TLX is the newest member of Acura's re-envisioned performance-luxury sedan lineup.
Available trims include the TLX, TLX V-6, and TLX SH-AWD with available Technology and/or Advanced packages.
The TLX features two new, high-output direct-injected i-VTEC engines and two advanced new transmissions including the world's first Dual Clutch Transmission with torque converter.
The TLX features the latest versions of Acura's precision-handling technologies.
The TLX has an all-new body and chassis design featuring the next generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure.
The TLX is built from advanced lightweight materials that reduce weight while maintaining performance and safety.
The TLX is the most dynamically advanced Acura ever.
All three trims carry a long list of standard and available features.
The TLX has a new 60/40-split folding rear seatback and a new trunk design that has a wider and deeper opening, lower lift-over height, fully flat cargo floor, and two new optional under floor storage compartments—all of which lend to improved cargo capacity!
The TLX offers the next-generation of AcuraLink® technology (Acura's cloud-based and car-embedded connected car system) such as Siri Eyes-Free technology that when paired with a compatible iPhone, allows the driver to use the features of Siri using familiar voice commands.
The TLX 3.5 liter V-6 trim has the all-new Electronic Gear Selector which utilizes an intuitive push-button array in place of a traditional gear lever.
The TLX SH-AWD trim has a model-exclusive idle-stop capability for improved fuel efficiency.
New camera and radar technologies are used in the TLX to advance Acura's safety systems.
A new Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) system in the TLX (available in the Advance Package) uses the new camera and radar technology to recognize painted lines, Botts' Dots, and Cat Eye markers to determine lane boundaries when driving.
New Motion-Adaptive Electronic Power Steering technology in the TLX assists with more precise driving and responsiveness.
To significantly reduce the intrusion of wind, road and engine noise into the cabin, air paths were reduced by a whopping 50% in the TLX (compared to the TL) via special attention and detail paid to TLX body sealing.
The TLX is the first Acura model to utilize acoustic spray foam.
That certainly is an impressive list of new technologies and Acura "firsts"! If you'd like more in-depth reports, Acura has provided extensive details on the 2015 TLX powertrain, body, chassis, and interior.

9. Develop a System and Stay Organized.
Have a method to process orders, pay bills, pay employees, pay taxes, maintain your licenses, etc. Set up an accounting and record-keeping system so you can properly account for all business disbursements, payments received, invoices, accounts receivable/payable. Speak with an accountant about the taxes your new company is responsible for paying, and get copies of the IRS's Tax Calendar for Small Businesses and Publications 334, Tax Guide for Small Business, and 583, Starting a Business and Keeping Records. Keep important company documents in a safe place and have backup systems in place should anything happen to your physical work space or your electronic record systems.
10. Other Issues to Consider.
Business Plan. A business plan is not only a good idea to help you clearly outline your goals and ferret out potential opportunities, costs and obstacles, but it may be required if your business intends to seek a loan or venture capital funding. The SBA and organizations specific to your profession/industry can provide helpful planning resources.
Insurance. As an entrepreneur, you should expect the unexpected. You'll want (and may be required) to obtain certain types of insurance for your business. General business policies can cover everything from product liability to company vehicles. You may want to obtain health and disability insurance for yourself and your employees. You might also consider a personal umbrella policy. You and the entity should both be named as insureds on any general liability insurance for the business, and the entity should also be the named insured on all property insurance covering any property owned or leased. Contact an insurance agent or broker to answer questions and give you policy quotes.
Intellectual Property. Intellectual property — copyrights, trademarks, domain names, patents, trade secrets — can be some of the most valuable assets a company has. Make sure that any intellectual property you create (or hire someone to create for you) or utilize in your business is properly protected. You also want to make sure that you're not infringing on a third party's intellectual property rights. Consult with an intellectual property attorney to learn more.
Support Team. Your new venture will be much more successful if you have a great support team around you. From family, friends and business partners to mentors, advisors and professional service providers, your team can make or break your endeavor. These people will be your sounding board, your cheerleaders, and remind you that you're not alone.
Starting a business is a thrilling and slightly overwhelming undertaking, but with a bit of planning (and some key professionals to help advise you), you could be up and running and playing by the rules in no time.
