Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, Orwell’s narrative is timelier than ever.1984 presents a startling and haunting vision of the world, so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the power of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions—a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time.
Michael Gerber dispels the myths surrounding starting your own business and shows how commonplace assumptions can get in the way of running a business. He walks you through the steps in the life of a business from entrepreneurial infancy, through adolescent growing pains, to the mature entrepreneurial perspective, the guiding light of all businesses that succeed. He then shows how to apply the lessons of franchising to any business whether or not it is a franchise. Finally, Gerber draws the vital, often overlooked distinction between working on your business and working in your business. After you have read The E-Myth Revisited, you will truly be able to grow your business in a predictable and productive way.
At a small air base in Louisiana, family man and seasoned fighter pilot, Tuck Westerfield's life could literally crash down around him. In this business of flying fighter jets, the odds of staying alive are stacked against him. Haunted by the memories of dead friends killed in air mishaps, this Vietnam vet and father of three must deal with a devious commander, an animal-crazed neighbor, whose husband hates pilots, a beautiful, but suspicious wife and a rebellious teenage daughter. The last thing he needs is another war. But when Iraq invades Kuwait in the middle of a muggy Louisiana summer, duty calls. Tuck and the other pilots in his squadron head to the Middle East. Back in Louisiana, Gina Westerfield and other military wives learn that war is hell on the home front, too. Later, when tragedy strikes, everyone at Beauregard Air Force Base must pull together and live on or forever be consumed with grief.
Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.
One of the major objections to documentation is that it will become outdated and have to be revised. Almost immediately.…

“We’re raising our girls to be perfect and we’re raising our boys to be brave,“ says Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, in her new TED Talk. We teach girls to be “perfect, and pretty, and nice,” while boys are expected to be “tough, and brave and strong. I immediately see how girls are afraid to try things that they won’t be good in.”
She urges: “I need each of you to tell every young woman you know to be comfortable with imperfection.” #LeanIn
The new Illustration I did for international Women’s Day 2016.
If you piece together women from across the world, it creates one big picture. Shout outs to all my sisters, celebrating womanhood.
PS Please credit me if you use this image anywhere else except tumblr. Some wads cropped & photoshopped my signature out of the image last year and it made some rounds on the internet-o-sphere. #createorcredit yo. @dizzylittledotty on IG or Lauren Carney Art on FB.
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY 2016 EVERYBODY!
GREAT WORK, @laurencarneyart!
Pleased to share this work by @laurencarneyart Thanks!
Today, the Supreme Court began hearing arguments in "Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstadt," which will determine the constitutionality of Texas's notorious omnibus anti-abortion bill HB2. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan were not having it.
“The case, which is also the most significant the court has seen since Roe v. Wade, will determine the constitutionality of Texas’s notorious omnibus anti-abortion bill HB2, which was passed in 2013 despite Texas Senator Wendy Davis’s famous 11-hour filibuster against it. Hanging in the balance is not just abortion access in Texas, which has already decreased dramatically since Governor Rick Perry passed the bill, but reproductive rights across the country. If the court upholds HB2, it will set a dangerous precedent for other states to restrict access to necessary reproductive health care.
“We were hearing reports that [some of] the judges, particularly the female justices, were really commenting on and referencing the extreme [nature] of the [HB2] measures,” Beth Lynk, the state policy press officer for Planned Parenthood, told Broadly.
Indeed, Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg were particularly aggressive in questioning HB2’s validity. At one point, Sotomayor replied, “I’m sorry, what?” when the lawyer representing Whole Women’s Health confirmed that a woman who could have once taken the abortion pill safely and legally at home “now… has to travel 200 miles or pay for a hotel” in order to satisfy HB2’s requirement that she take the pills - which are ingested hours apart - in an abortion facility. (Of which there are now only 19 in Texas; if HB2 is upheld that number could drop to ten or fewer.) While Justice Kennedy questioned whether it was really possible to say that HB2 had caused the closure of so many of Texas’s abortion clinics, Kagan commented that the situation in Texas was “almost like the perfect controlled experiment as to the effect of the law, isn’t it? It’s like you put the law into effect, 12 clinics closed. You take the law out of effect, they reopen,” suggesting that HB2 has indeed put “undue burden” on abortion access.
When I asked Hernandez if she had seen the transcript from today’s arguments, she replied that she hadn’t yet, but people inside had told her, “RBG just killed it.”

This is so amazing in so many ways. #SCOTUS got it right. When women weigh in on important decisions, their voices are heard, their rights are protected. Way to go, ladies.
Women's work is not child's play--nor is running a business. I dish with fellow female entrepreneurs about sexist punches, intimidation in the marketplace and the pros and cons of bragging.
In December, I sat down to revise my resume. I was facing the loss of a major client and knew I needed to start prospecting for new work. As I began describing all the work I’d done in the last two years (during which that client had taken most of my time) I realized I’d done A LOT.
There’s a certain confidence in knowing you know what you’re doing. Or, at least, you know it better than anyone else in the room.
You don’t have to be an expert. You just have to be the best option for the person who hires you.

Women-owned businesses make up 30% of American companies. That’s an improvement over prior years but still not parity with the percentage of the workforce made up by women.
Get busy building your dream or someone else will hire you to build theirs.
We shouldn’t try to shoehorn girls in to our own concepts of what the childhood of a scientist looks like.
We love this: The opposite of “science” isn’t “girl.”
Couldn’t have said it better. Be YOURSELF. The world needs your voice. There is no one else just like you.

A lot of women become entrepreneurs because the work establishment doesn’t work for them. Whether it’s the hours expected which extend beyond the school day and force daycare expenses, or the subtle assumption that care is a mom’s responsibility, entrepreneurship offers the flexibility women need to work and care for families.
But even when work is not competing with families, the ability to be recognized for the work being done inside the traditional business organization is very difficult.
We need a system that quantifies work not by hours spent in the chair, but by actual work product output.
At Clemson Road Creative, we’re building that system.
Emotional Intelligence – the X factor for great leaders?
“Traditional leadership criteria like IQ and technical ability while important, are not enough for effective leadership in global, multi-cultural organisations in the digital age.”
Emotional intelligence is so very important and can actually be learned. We should be cultivating it.

Its pretty incredible how accurate the science of astrophysics has gotten. New Horizons actually arrived 72 seconds early after travelling for almost 10 years straight to its destination.
Hello! The person who calculated the arrival time of New Horizons was Yanping Guo, mission design leader and one of the women who made up 25% of the New Horizons team. She configured the entire mission trajectory, including Jupiter and Pluto flybys.
Women’s contribution to the sciences has a long history of being erased, so let’s not forget the women who made New Horizons possible!

Switching Between Roles
You can call me a “facilitator of learning” or “architect of learning experiences”. It is not about being one thing as opposed to another, it is figuring out when to move into each role. Great teachers do this. It is important that educators do not feel guilty about standing up in front of students and sharing knowledge, only if they are the only ones to do this all of the time; that’s a different story. Being able to go out of these different roles is why teaching is both an art and a science. To me, the “art” is in making those connections and tapping into something personal, but the “science” is understanding when and why you need to do this.
As consultants and educators, we at Clemson Road Creative work daily on balancing authority with inquiry. The switch between roles really is intuition and experience.
