To wrap the year up, I have a great three-day event at Mid Ohio in October, with the Northern Ohio Region. It is good to support other region’s events, as they support ours. Track events are not just about fast laps. One of the most important functions of the AGM is the general election.

And now here's your host, Harvard Law School grad, feminist rockstar, and Master Coach, Kara Loewentheil. Hello my chickens. How are you? I am amazing. I always say that because it’s always true. But here’s why it’s always true. I was just coaching one of my clients about this last week and I was saying to her that our evaluation of our own mental or emotional state is an optional thought. How we choose to categorize or characterize or describe our own mental and emotional state, that description is not objective. It’s not a circumstance. It’s an optional thought. So I might have a day filled with negative thoughts and emotions, but during the day and at the end of the day, I can choose whether to call that a bad day or just an average day or an awesome day. See what I mean? I get to decide what to think about my own experience and my own thoughts and feelings. It’s not just true that a day when you have negative thoughts and feelings is a bad day. Like, that’s not objective. That’s a decision to describe it that way, that bad means I had negative thoughts and feelings.

I just got off a meeting with my team that was so much fun, so exciting. I know that’s not words usually applied to meetings. We are planning some amazing upgrades for The Clutch that are just going to take everything to the next level and make it so much easier for all of my students, all of you to create the change you want in any area of your life. And it’s going to be so beautiful and a clean new design, it’s going to be gorgeous. I’m so, so excited for my students who are already in The Clutch and those of you who are going to join. It feels like I’m renovating a house to make it even more amazing. So excited about that and I will of course share more as we get closer to the unveiling. It has been a big season of changes personally really and in the business. Moving out from my little one-bedroom into a three-bedroom apartment with a view.

  • Keri Hilson FAN TV
    Presents KERI HILSON Keri Lynn Hilson (born December 5, 1982 in Decatur, Georgia) is a Grammy award nominated American R&B singer- songwriter signed to Timbaland’s Mosley Music Group. She is also a part of a collective of writers and producers known as The Clutch, and has written hits for many artists including Britney Spears, Usher, Ciara, Ludacris and Omarion. After performing on Xzibit’s song Hey Now (Mean Muggin’) and Timbaland’s album Shock Value she released her debut album, In A Perfect World…, in 2009. It spawned the hit singles Energy, Turnin’ Me On and Knock You Down which featured Kanye West and Ne-Yo and reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Hilson has been writing music for other artists since 2001, including Britney Spears, Ciara, Usher, and Ludacris. Despite having made a name for herself as an arranger and background vocalist, lending her vocal talents to many of the songs she wrote on, Hilson remained behind the scenes for the most part until 2004, when she was featured on Xzibit’s single, “Hey Now (Mean Muggin)” and made her performing debut singing the track live at the 2004 MTV Europe Awards. In 2006, Hilson reappeared on the music scene in the video for Nelly Furtado’s single “Promiscuous”. Meanwhile, she signed as an artist with Timbaland’s newly formed Interscope associated label Mosley Music Group and the pair started work on her debut album ‘”In A Perfect World…”. The same year, she was featured on “After Love” from Diddy’s album Press Play which was originally written for Danity Kane.

Hopefully you’ll think it’s a treat too. So as some of you know and a few of you were actually there, we did Clutch College Live a few - god, was that two weeks ago? Time has lost all structure and meaning. I think it’s February 1st when I’m recording this and January was 75 years long. So we did Clutch College Live during this month, sometime in January. Clutch College Live is usually a live event in person. Obviously because of the pandemic that’s not what we did. We did it online. But it’s a three-day all-day event where I teach and coach live and we have amazing guest coaches come and run small groups and we go really in depth on specific topics. You have to be in The Clutch to sign up for these. These are special additional events. Once you’re inside The Clutch you’re eligible to register and sign up for them.

  • Modeling and Estimation for Stepped Automatic Transmission with Clutch-To- Clutch Shift Technology Dissertation
    MODELING AND ESTIMATION FOR STEPPED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH CLUTCH-TO- CLUTCH SHIFT TECHNOLOGY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sarawoot Watechagit, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Krishnaswamy Srinivasan, Advisor Professor Chia-Hsiang Menq ______________________________ Professor Gregory Washington Advisor Department of Mechanical Engineering Copyright by Sarawoot Watechagit 2004 ABSTRACT A major problem in designing controllers for automatic transmissions in automobiles is that many of the relevant variables characterizing the performance of the power train are not measurable because of sensor cost and reliability considerations. This dissertation presents the development of model-based estimation for a stepped automatic transmission with clutch-to-clutch shift technology, to provide real-time information about some necessary but un-measurable variables. Specifically, model-based real-time estimation of clutch pressures for the clutches involved in the gear shifting process is developed and validated. In this dissertation, mathematical models for all systems affecting the dynamic behavior of the transmission, namely, the torque converter, transmission mechanical components, shift hydraulic system, and vehicle and driveline are developed. The main focus, however, is on the development of mathematical models describing the dynamic behavior of the transmission mechanical components, viz, the dynamics of the gear sets inside the transmission and the shift hydraulic system. This dissertation presents the development of a nonlinear dynamic model for the shift hydraulic system for the transmission of interest. The result of the model development presented here includes a fully detailed model, which is complex and highly nonlinear, as well as a simplified ii model which is used for real-time implementation.
