  • Write a Better Book Other Martial Artists Will Buy and Read
    © 2013 Kris Wilder & Lawrence Kane Page 1 Don’t Write That Book: Write a better book other martial artists will buy and read Kris Wilder and Lawrence Kane © 2013 Kris Wilder & Lawrence Kane Page 2 © 2013 Kris Wilder & Lawrence Kane Page 3 © 2013 Kris Wilder & Lawrence Kane Page 4 “Build it and they will come.” — From the movie Field of Dreams “‘Build it and they will come’ is the greatest lie ever propagated on potential authors.” — Kris Wilder Introduction The belief that if you build it they will come is a complete and utter fallacy, especially when it comes to publishing. Unfortunately thousands upon thousands of authors across the world pour their blood, sweat, and tears (sometimes literally) into their work based upon this myth. Without proper preparation and promotion even the best book on the planet will be read by few and purchased by less. It takes forethought to navigate the world of publishing and deliver a product that will actually reach its intended audience. Let’s take a look at the entertainment industry for a comparison that illustrates this point. One of the most successful television shows of all time was Seinfeld. Seinfeld, however, had poor ratings in its first season and faced the very real possibility of cancellation. Nevertheless the network took a risk, promoted the heck out of the show and, well… the rest is history. But this success did not come lightly. It required good casting, solid storylines, and witty dialogue in addition to a well thought out advertising campaign. Another TV show that you might be familiar with, Firefly, had all the same strengths of casting, storylines, and dialogue.

    Impacts and Responses to the 1995 Heat Wave: A Call to Action ; 4 Stanley A. Changnon, Kenneth E. Kunkel, and Beth C. Reinke Midwestern Climate Center, Illinois State Water Survey, Champaign, Illinois ABSTRACT The short but intense heat wave in mid-July 1995 caused 830 deaths nationally, with 525 of these deaths in Chicago. Many of the dead were elderly, and the event raised great concern over why it happened. Assessment of causes for the heat wave-related deaths in Chicago revealed many factors were at fault, including an inadequate local heat wave warning system, power failures, questionable death assessments, inadequate ambulance service and hospital facilities, the heat island, an aging population, and the inability of many persons to properly ventilate their residences due to fear of crime or a lack of resources for fans or air conditioning. Heat-related deaths appear to be on the increase in the United States. Heat-related deaths greatly exceed those caused by other life-threatening weather conditions. Analysis of the impacts and responses to this heat wave reveals a need to 1) define the heat island conditions during heat waves for all major cities as a means to improve forecasts of threatening conditions, 2) develop a nationally uniform means for classifying heat-related deaths, 3) improve warning systems that are designed around local conditions of large cities, and 4) increase research on the meteorological and climatological aspects of heat stress and heat waves. 1 .Introduction atmospheric research, and for assessing potential im- pacts of global warming.

    Midwest Urban Heat Wave Climatology: What Constitutes the Worst Events? A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science Alek J. Krautmann June 2012 © 2012 Alek J. Krautmann. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Midwest Urban Heat Wave Climatology: What Constitutes the Worst Events? by ALEK J. KRAUTMANN has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by Ryan Fogt Assistant Professor of Geography Howard Dewald Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KRAUTMANN, ALEK J., M.S., June 2012, Geography Midwest Urban Heat Wave Climatology: What Constitutes the Worst Events? Director of Thesis: Ryan L. Fogt The onset of heat waves can be subtle and do not result in structural damage like many other meteorological events. Components to consider that comprise a heat wave include: duration, daytime high and overnight low temperatures, other atmospheric conditions, human impacts, and location. Nonetheless, even with these deterministic factors, heat waves lack a meaningful uniform meteorological definition. This Thesis focuses on what constitutes summer heat waves in the Midwest by identifying the thresholds of high temperature that are representative of the most extreme events. Heat waves are classified based on surface observation records from Columbus, Indianapolis, Kansas City, and St. Louis. The large-scale weather features are examined for the most significant events. In addition, changes manifest in the number and duration of past heat waves are presented. The historical significance and characteristics of the most extreme heat waves on record are also discussed.

  • Download Case Study
    September 2018 Population Health: The Translation of Research to Policy Case Studies and Commentary Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholars The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholars (HSS) program was designed to build the nation’s capacity for research, leadership, and policy change, while addressing the multiple determinants of population health. One of its goals was to produce a cadre of scientific leaders who could contribute to this research and spearhead action to improve overall population health and eliminate health inequities. This report, edited by Robert A. Hiatt, MD, PhD, University of California, San Francisco, takes a case study approach, using six diverse examples of science to policy translation generated by Scholars in the HSS program from 2003 to 2016. Because the HSS program was discontinued in 2017, the Milbank Memorial Fund published these case studies in 2018 in hopes that many audiences, including students, would use them to learn about the connections between research, decision making, and policy.

  • Heat Wave-Specifi C Implementation Plan
    The Grand Challenges for Disaster Reduction outlines a ten-year strategy crafted by the National Science and Technology Council’s Subcommittee on Disaster Reduction (SDR). It sets forth six Grand Challenges that, when addressed, will enhance community N A T L I I O C resilience to disasters and thus create a more disaster-resilient N N A U L O S C C IE Y Nation. These Grand Challenges require sustained Federal N OG CE OL investment as well as collaborations with state and local AND TECHN governments, professional societies and trade associations, the private sector, academia, and the international community to successfully transfer disaster reduction science and technology WAVE HEAT into common use. To meet these Challenges, the SDR has identifi ed priority science and technology interagency implementation actions by hazard that build upon ongoing efforts. Addressing these implementation actions will improve America’s capacity to prevent and recover from disasters, thus fulfi lling our Nation’s commitment to reducing the impacts of all hazards and enhancing the safety and economic well-being of every individual and community. This is the heat wave-specifi c implementation plan. See also sdr.gov for other hazard-specifi c implementation plans. What is at Stake? DEFINITION AND BACKGROUND. A heat wave is a prolonged period of warm season temperatures well above normal for the area, often accompanied by high humidity. Heat waves can persist from a couple of days to several weeks and are often accompanied by periods of little or no rain and, in cities, by poor air quality. Heat waves are among the most deadly of all weather events.
