More About Me

I'm passionate about

Reading and Writing can be improved in nine hours of work which creates a more positive and assertive response from individuals - irregardless of IQ (including "gifted.).

An idea worth spreading

No form of communication is established without precison eye hand coordination of linear movement - including what you are now reading.

Talk to me about

Why you have difficulty processing information. Why you wanted to go into one field, but knew you had to change to a different area.

People don't know that I'm good at

I rewrite the brain. I regenerate synpatic junctions - from brain injury, ADHD, including average and gifted students.

My TED Story

My main concern in life is why are some students "smarter" than others. Yet, those who feel they weren't as "smart" studied, and tried, but did not accomplish what others did with less study. There are various reasons. But my goal was and is to remove that cloud from these individuals to attain their professional accomplishment or know why they will have difficulty.

  • A comment on Conversation: Whose responsibility is it to educate our young people on healthy eating, physical activity, and positive self esteem?

    Nov 1 2011: The federal government is the first to step in. It has by providing food stamps, free or reduced lunches in schools.
    Food stamps and free or reduced lunches do not count calories. An average person needs about 2000 calories a day. A gallon of ice cream is about 10,000 calories or the equivalent of five days of calories. Instead of providing food stamps that buy pretzels, chips, fried foods, sodas, etc - have stamps that provide 2000 calories per day. if you buy a gallon of ice cream - food for five days - that is the person's decision - but they don't get the chips, pretzels, sodas, fried food with it. In school, free or reduced breakfast and lunch should be equal to about 1000 calories - the family should provide the other 1000 - and if they are on food stamps, they get 1000 worth of calories for the student, and 2000 for themselves. Overweight individuals should not be allowed to get food stamps because they can be detrimental to their health, and should only be allowed food stamps for 2000 calories per day when they are within an average weight per a group of similar people.
  • A comment on Conversation: A conversation with GE: What are the best ideas for alternative energy management at home?

    Feb 27 2011: To create more efficient energy in a home, two main things must happen. 1. The climate and terrain must be taken into account. 2. Homes need to be redesigned. For example. if the home is located in a hilly region make use of the hill, location of the main door, wind conditions - if you are on top of the hill - expect a high energy bill so the terrain has to be used. If the home is in a colder area, naturally more efficient insulation, size of windows for light, room size, ceilings need to be taken into consideration. Roofs need to be changed to allow free flowing wind to generate electricity from small wind tunnels. Any inside heating devices need to be restructured to not only heat water for personal use, but continued within the house when needed. Need cooling: breezeways need to be part of a home, again depending on climate and weather conditions.
