On Sunday I completed part one of the KMG General Instructor Course. I took the course at First Defense Krav Maga in Herndon, VA with five other students. Our instructor was Nick Masi.
GIC1 is the first of a multi-part process for becoming a fully certified KMG instructor. In the United States, we divide the curriculum into three parts. GIC1 is 5 days while GIC2 and 3 are each 9 days. In some parts of the world, like Australia, the GIC is divided into two 12-day courses. Elsewhere, GIC1 and 2 are each 9 days, while GIC3 is 5 days. In any event, the material taught within a given country is the same as other countries, and the entirety of the training is 23 days.
In this post I will provide five reasons that KMG students may consider taking the 5-day GIC1 in the US.
1. Concentrated training. A five-day class is a commitment to training, and the chance to improve your skills on a daily basis is tough to beat. Our instructors had mentioned this phenomenon before, and I felt it in action during the course. While it is possible to begin feeling overwhelmed by the details, overall familiarity with the material prior to the class will help you benefit from the opportunity.

3. Learning the system. When you learn KMG through weekly classes, you can lose sight of the forest due to the trees. It can be tough to recognize that you are learning a system, not a collection of isolated techniques. During the curriculum review, you work the material in clusters according to the problem at hand or the principle at work. Suddenly all of the choke releases or other techniques seem to make more sense because you recognize how they are related.
4. Introduction to teaching. Our GIC1 offered several opportunities to learn how to teach a KMG class. We started by taking turns leading various elements of the warm-up process, such as elevating the heart rate, beginning mobility, stretching, and power drills. Next we took turns teaching a mini-class of 10-20 minutes. On the last day we each taught a complete but short class of 20-30 minutes. This process encouraged us to deliver clear information, to follow the KMG teaching process, and to be creative so as not to bore our fellow students. I really enjoyed this part of the class!
|I still need to work on multiple aspects of striking!

Having a positive sense of self can and is to be our own fairy tale ending. But to have that we must choose to look behind our relationships at ourselves and be prepared to work at and incorporate emotional and spiritual growth into the equation. Sadly, relationships can't and don't give us the fairy tale ending.
I've had to fight to exist in my life, to find things out, to bring reasoning back into the equation. Therefore, perhaps fairy tales don't exist, or if they do maybe not in the way we think. The concept sounds idyllic, but reality bites and we're back to real-life. Whether it's families or work, there will always be added stress and no fairy tale endings.
Marriage sadly doesn't change life, or the stress elements of life. In some ways, marriage brings about more stress because of family's expectations on both sides. It simply changes our status. Although the status allows us to change the way we feel about ourselves, marriage isn't as easy as we think. Sadly, our story doesn't begin at the marriage stage, marriage is simply a continuation of 'our story.'
Perhaps we must look at this topic differently. What we if we were to let go of the excuses, the complaints, the assumptions and the negative energy, so that we begin to work from our core? What if we were to start building on and changing the way we see our lives and each other and bring respect into the equation?
What if we were to stop dwelling on what we can't change and change the things we can, including attitudes? Perhaps then we'd get more of the fairy tale life. What if we were also to look for the reasons and lessons in all situations and change the elements that continue to add to our everyday stress?
For us to have a chance of our fairy tale life, we must take all stress and the many complications out and replace them with a life that just ticks over without the stress, better communication and where relationships run like clockwork.
I believe that then becomes our happy ever after life with a fairy tale ending. It's the attitudes that make it so, not things.

Ingredients for 4 plates:
- 1 tbsp of oil
- 3 tbsp of oatmeal
- 0.8 litre of stock
- 1 small leek
- some bangers (which might only be permitted temporarily- to smooth the transition)
Heat the oil in a pan. Add the oatmeal and fry it for a bit, before you add the chopped leek. Reduce the heat and keep stirring until the leek has softened.
Add the stock. Season and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, add the chopped bangers and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
Serve the soup with some bread. You should buy the bread a day in advance since people eat less bread, when it is a bit stale.
* The initiative for an export ban on Swiss arms is on the ballot of the November 29 polling. The other initiative, the Swiss will have to decide on that date is the prohibition of minarets in Switzerland. Both are amendments to the constitution. We Swiss have the tendency to put the weirdest things into the constitution. Like we constitutionally prohibited both Absinthe and the Society of Jesus, nevertheless, both have been legalized some years ago, since we Swiss apparently have gained in strength to withstands such threads to society. However, some seem to think that the Swiss are not quite ready for harmful effects of minarets, and that world peace might suffer due to my ingenious mind.

Cooper's box thorn: Lycium cooperi, Solanaceae (nightshade family)
So I've been holding out, waiting for these berries to burst from their protective sheaths, anxiously anticipating the day the color of the shiny green bulbs would ruddy and reveal to me their true species....would they be the luscious red wolf berries (aka goji berries) that I had been naively rooting for, or the hard orange berries that are no where to be found in the context of consumables? Would I be able to offer guests bowls of delicate, delectable berries to cool off a hot summer sunset? Would I be short on space to store all the jams and sauces I would make with these scarlet buttons? Maybe I'd have birds flocking to my shoulders and we'd all be popping berries into our mouths while singing selections from The Sound of Music.
A bit of a crushed fantasy happening in slow motion, I learned that the leaves on my plants aren't succulent-like and plump, as they are in L. Andersonii, the species most commonly associated with edible fruits. My first taste was back in April, and from a box thorn plant with considerably smaller branching arms than the ones I've been eyeing on my property. In May, I noticed vermillion clusters along the mesas that form the entry to Pipes Canyon, and verified that the swathes of color were tiny juicy bites. With June on the horizon, disappointment set in, my bushes still thickly coated in flat paddles-like leaves, the shriveled trumpet flowers clinging to the emerging green fruits. Yesterday in the afternoon heat, the bushes all seemed a warm wash of color, and peeking under a particularly dense branch, my suspicions were confirmed. No, I will not be plucking and processing hoards of plump little morsels from the magical desert terrain. Yes, these are cooper's box thorn bushes, the ones that seem to be absent from the table. But I'll see it as destiny, I'll trade in my greed for gratitude—how many new plants would I have missed if I were wading knee-deep in berry blood?
This is the 30th and final post in the plant-a-day project. The desert is a rich, mystical playground for plants, and I'm happy to have shared my observations and wanderings. This is just the tip of the thorn, there's so much to explore.

Whiskey distilled from beer. Seven Stills is leading the craft beer inspired whiskey movement. While traditional whiskeys are distilled from a low quality beer, Seven Stills distills finished beers resulting in whiskeys with innovative flavor profiles. Chocasmoke is the first whiskey in our Seven Hills Series: a project to create a unique craft beer inspired for each of the seven hills of San Francisco.
This whiskey is made from a smoked chocolate oatmeal stout and is our dedication to the Twin Peaks. Distilled from a chocolate oatmeal stout with peat smoked malt. Layers of deep malt flavor range from creamy oats and vanilla to rich dark chocolate, burnt malt and heavy peat smoke. This whiskey opens up with rich chocolate, vanilla and honey. The taste profile is toasted malt, chocolate, and oak and finishes with a lingering peat smoke. Since each whiskey is handcrafted in extremely small batches (this one from 500 gallons of beer brewed at Mill Valley Beerworks), supply is extremely limited. This first release yielded 358 bottles, each hand wax dipped and had numbered. Gold Medal Winner at the 2014 World Spirits Competition.

When is butter not butter?
When you order a buttered bagel at a Dunkin' Donuts restaurant.
Craig Polewaczyk of Worcester was recently disappointed after taking a bite of a bagel ordered with butter. He complained that it didn't taste like butter and was told he was right. Even though 1) he asked for butter and 2) his receipt said "butter," the bagel was schmeared with margarine. No apology or refund followed. So, he asked me whether the chain was deceiving its customers.
So I asked Dunkin' Donuts what was going on. Dunkin' acknowledged its use of a "butter-substitute vegetable spread" when butter is ordered, with the caveat that some franchisees might differ in their offerings.
"For food safety reasons, we do not allow butter to be stored at room temperature, which is the temperature necessary for butter to be easily spread onto a bagel or pastry," said Dunkin' spokeswoman Lindsay Harrington. "As a result, the recommended in-store procedure at Dunkin' Donuts is that individual whipped butter packets be served on the side of a guest's bagel or pastry but not applied. The vegetable spread is generally used if the employee applies the topping."
That decision, and the chain's lack of disclosure, is not fair to consumers, said Barbara Anthony, who leads the state Division of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.
"You really do need to be candid with the consumer with what you're doing," she said. "The seller knows the difference, but the consumer doesn't. That's why this is an unfair practice and a misrepresentation � the consumer's in the dark."
It's quite possible, Anthony said, that a customer ordering butter is told they're getting margarine, they'll be fine with it. But what if they're not? What if they have a health issue? Or would they opt to spread butter packets themselves if they knew that was an option?
Regardless, she said, the chain is on a slippery slope with its supposedly buttery bagel. "Butter" is not a generic term, it's a dairy product. And while Dunkin' can certainly serve "vegetable spread," the chain has to be honest about it.
"The company," said Anthony, "really does need to revisit its policy and tell people what it is."

(American, 1998, 103 minutes, color, 35mm)
"The unanimous winner of the 1998 Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival and the Camera d'Or and Prix du Public (Audience Award) at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, Slam is an emotionally charged, uplifting film about a talented young man who discovers himself through the love of a woman and through his extraordinary talent at spoken word poetry 'slamming'—a combination of poetry and rap which is exploding across America. Spoken word poetry 'Slams' are competitions in which poets go one on one against each other using only their words and their emotions; competitions begin at the local level and culminate each year in a national grand slam competition. Pushing poetry to its next evolutionary level, slam poets combine rap and hip hop with traditional poetry to create a potent art form that is part performance art, part word magic. Using this extraordinary new medium, (which can be seen in everything from Gap commercials to theater to clubs and now in film) writer/director Marc Levin examines such subjects as personal freedom, finding one's own voice and redemption through artistic expression. You have never heard a movie like Slam.
"Saul Williams, along with co-star Sonja Sohn, is the IFP Gotham Award winner of the newly established Perry Ellis Breakthrough Award for his role in Slam. Williams wrote the pieces he performs as Raymond in Slam and is considered one of the country's premiere performance poets. In 1996, he won the Grand Slam Championship at New York's legendary Nuyorican Poets Café. He has recordings on Mouth Almighty/Mercury, Ninja Tunes and Rawkus Records. His first book of poetry, The Seventh Octave, was recently published by Moore Black Press. Williams is a graduate of Morehouse College, where he studied drama and philosophy, and holds a Masters of Fine Arts degree in acting from New York University.
"Sonja Sohn, also winner of the IFP Gotham Award's Perry Ellis Breakthrough Award, acted in a number of plays in New York City. She has performed her poetry at venues ranging from the Public Theater to the Nuyorican Poets Café to Woodstock '94. She wrote 'Run Free or Die,' which she performs in Slam. She recently completed a Sydney Pollack pilot for CBS. Her musical group 'Finy Dolo' just returned from London, where they recorded an album of poetry put to music.

"Capturing life on film is a sorcerer's game, whether the form be drama, cinema-verite documentary or some hybrid of the two. When movies come alive, it's because filmmakers have succeeded in stringing together a succession of images [that have] the look, sound and feelings of real life. Marc Levin, the director and co-writer of Slam, has been using the term 'drama verite' to describe his new film about an inner-city rapper and poet who goes to jail on a minor drug charge. Mr. Levin, an award-winning documentary filmmaker, draws a useful distinction. Slam is a fictional work that presents itself as life in the raw—as discovered fact—because its gritty, jumpy, semi-improvised scenes were shot, documentary style, in the District of Columbia's clangorous prisons and on its mean streets. Still, I'd rather start by describing this profane and sometimes profound movie in simpler terms, such as stirring, powerful and thrilling.
"The poet, Ray Joshua (Saul Williams), can't begin to fathom the disaster he's brought down on himself when the cops pick him up on suspicion of a murder he didn't commit and find some marijuana in his pocket. Until then he has dealt dope in the projects just as matter-of-factly as he has recited his rhymes. . . . Once in prison, though, Ray's horrified to realize that he's only one more talented young black man with a blighted future. What he does with his realization is the essence of the film, which is anything but a conventional prison drama. Think of 'Soul on Ice' reworked by Shelby Steele, with the emphasis on personal responsibility.
"Mr. Williams's performance is eerily beautiful. Ray runs with an Olympian's expansive grace, walks with the lowered shoulders and insouciant step of a fashion model and suggests, when his face is in repose, a psychic state on the border of solemn and mournful. Slam was written by its cast in conjunction with its director, so Mr. Williams, a prize-winning performance poet as well as a trained actor, is in fact the author of the show-stopping pieces—part rap, part hip-hop, part plain old poetry—that Ray declaims with a fierce passion reminiscent of Dylan Thomas."
— Joe Morgenstern, The Wall Street Journal
"The story of how Slam was made is as striking a narrative as the film itself, due to the film's cast of characters and to the collaborative way in which it was created. Marc Levin, one of the film's producers and writers as well as its director, is an award-winning documentary film maker. Richard Stratton, another of the film's producers and writers, is a novelist and journalist who served eight years in a Federal penitentiary for importing marijuana. Henri M. Kessler, a third producer, is a former club owner and party promoter.
"Mr. Levin, Mr. Stratton and Mr. Kessler are all white, but the three principal actors whom the film introduces, and who all crafted their own parts, are black. Both Saul Williams, who plays the central figure of Ray, and Sonja Sohn, who plays his lover and mentor Lauren, are poets and actors, while Bonz Malone, who plays the prison leader Hopha, is a writer and former graffiti artist who has also served time.
"How these larger-than-life personalities came together to form the patchwork quilt of Slam is a story that starts with Mr. Levin's own background. Born in New York and reared in New Jersey, the son of political activists, Mr. Levin, 47, owes his sensibility partly to the ferment of the late 1960s, when he came of age. The dynamic gray-haired director has made a career of filming documentaries that explore such issues as the drug war and race relations. When asked about the challenges he has faced as a white film maker exploring this terrain, he said, 'That's always been the spot I've been drawn to in American culture—the place where black and white cultures meet.'
"In structuring Slam, Mr. Levin allowed his actors to create their own lines and decided to shoot in a spontaneous, documentary-like style that was dubbed, by his crew, 'drama verite.' The actors spent nine months developing the story and their characters before filming started. Much of the dialogue was to be improvised on camera.
"After getting approval [to shoot] from the prison administrators [at the District of Columbia Detention Facility], the team drove down to Washington in late July of 1997 for a two-week guerilla-style film shoot. The financing of Slam, which cost a little over a million dollars, only fell into place at the end: until then, Mr. Kessler had maxed out his credit card.
"The film has sly humor, notably in the scene where Marion Barry, the former mayor of Washington has a cameo role as an anti-drug judge. The film makers also cast some real inmates in various roles, all the while improvising and working under time constraints. This gave rise to scenes such as the one where Mr. Williams, playing Ray in his jail cell, embarked on an extended verbal riff with an actual prisoner, Bay, in the cell next door. 'We were freestyling back and forth, for 45 minutes,' Mr. Williams said. 'They didn't even say, 'Cut.' They just changed the film and let us keep going.'

Here are some snippets from the article:
- Sharad Sundaresan, a programmer for Microsoft in Redmond, Wash., entered the part-time program at the University of Chicago. For three years Sundaresan boarded an 11 p.m. flight out of Seattle on Friday and arrived in Chicago at 5 a.m. He hung out at the airport until the school's shuttle bus picked him up for a full day of classes and then went back to the airport on the shuttle and caught a 7 p.m. return flight to Seattle. Tuition was $75,000 and flights cost another $30,000. E-mail, instant messaging and conference calls allowed Sundaresan to work on group projects with classmates in four different cities. "No regrets," says Sundaresan. "It afforded me the chance to keep my job, and the quality of the education and the networking opportunities were the same as the full-time program." The reward for his degree: a management consultant job at McKinsey & Co. and no debt.
- "... everyone is too busy to stop their careers and go through a concentrated two-year program.", says John Fernandes, president of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the M.B.A. accreditation group.
- The average base salary for a graduate of a U.S. school was $75,000 last year, the same as in 2000, while tuition has jumped 8%annually during that time. And getting a job isn't as easy. In 2000 the top schools placed 90% of their students in jobs by graduation. Last year only 70% of students at these schools had jobs. Cox's Niemi thinks that banks are hiring more undergrads with business degrees because they are cheaper and come with less of a sense of entitlement.
- Tuck's dean, Paul Danos, thinks that full-time is superior to part-time. "The total immersion experience students get in a full-time program allows them to create skills and get a depth of understanding that you can't get any other way," says Danos.

Middlebury College Theatre Program Presents Victory: Choices in Reaction
April 7, 2011
Adventurous Play Explodes History with Rock n' Roll Attitude
Middlebury, VT—The Middlebury College Department of Theatre and Dance will present Victory: Choices in Reaction by Howard Barker on April 28th through 30th at the Mahaney Center for the Arts, Seeler Studio Theatre. The play recounts the politics and history of 16th century Britain through a distinctly contemporary lens.
Set in Great Britain in 1660, the play unfolds as the country's brief experiment with republicanism ends, and the monarchy is restored. A puritan widow sets out on a grim journey to recover the body of her husband, a victim of the violent coup. Along the way, she goes from prim and proper to rude and resourceful. She protects her children against the dangers of the new world order, surviving in a society where greed is king.
Though the action takes place in the 1600s, the play makes allusions to our own time. Contemporary audiences may find something familiar in the themes of unchecked principles of banking and lending, and in the excesses of the privileged few. Director and Theatre Professor Richard Romagnoli plays up these parallels. "This play assumes the audience is hungry for an adventure," he explains. The sound and costumes will jump-start the audience's thrill ride by blowing apart any traditional sense of a period look and feel. Instead of petticoats and breeches, Victory's characters will don everything from Mad Max-type armor, to girly Betsey Johnson dresses, and to rock star outfits. Romagnoli notes, "It's been partially stripped of its historical context: Handel's rhythmic Water Music has been replaced with the Sex Pistols' pulsating, percussive punk." The resulting mix is extreme, visceral, and raw.
Audiences are advised that Victory contains strong adult language and content, and is recommended for mature audiences only.
The production at Middlebury features actors Lucy Van Atta '12, Lili Stein '11, Meghan Leathers '13, Molly O'Keefe '12, Matt Ball '14, Christopher Grabowski '12, Elias Alexander '12, Nathaniel Rothrock '12, Charles Giardina '12, Dave Malinsky '11, Michael Kessler '11, Noah Berman '13, and Thomas Scott '14. Apurva Damani '13 is the stage manager; Hallie Woods '12 is the assistant stage manager, and Kelsey Ferguson '12 is the assistant director. The set is designed by Hallie Zieselman with Ryan Bates '11 assisting; lighting by Mark Evancho; and costumes by Jule Emerson, assisted by Carlie Crawford '11.
A Behind-the-Scenes Lunch and Discussion for Victory will take place on Tuesday, April 26th, at 12:30 P.M. Performances will take place at 8:00 P.M. on April 28th, 29th, and 30th. All events take place at the Mahaney Center for the Arts, Seeler Studio Theatre. Tickets for Victory are $10 for the general public; $8 for Middlebury College faculty, staff, and alumni; and $6 for Middlebury College students. For tickets or information, contact the Middlebury College Box Office at http://go.middlebury.edu/tickets or 802-443-6433.

While studies indicate that millennials still value marriage, it's clearly not as high on the priority list.
Singles capitals of the U.S.
While studies indicate that millennials still value marriage, it's clearly not as high on the priority list as previous generations. Not surprisingly, this has contributed to millennials pushing off marriage more than their parents and grandparents. Some contributing factors include education, finances, and career ambitions but the most cited reason is simply not having found the right person.
As this trend has emerged and technology has become ubiquitous, dating apps and websites have been on the rise as young singles attempt to find a partner. Yet, despite these trends, millennials still say they'd prefer to meet a new romantic partner spontaneously or through friends.
To see which cities around the U.S. give young singles the best chance of meeting a potential partner, ConsumersAdvocate.org looked to see where singles represent the largest percentage of the population.
Data is from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) 2015 release of 5-year estimates. The ACS reports marital status information only for individuals over the age of 15. Using this data, ConsumersAdvocate.org calculated Percent Single by dividing the "never married" population by the total population over the age of 15. For the purposes of this study, the total population over 15 is referred to below as the Total Adult Population. In the event of a tie, the city with the larger Total Single Adults population served as the tiebreaker. In order to be considered, a city must have a Total Adult Population of 500,000 or more.

I find most fan podcasts annoying but there's a couple that are amazing. Attitude Era podcast is really good, and I've listened to RBR Weekly Wrestling Talk for about 10 years now. It's very inside jokey at this point but that obviously won't bother a long term listener.

Ballerina Tutu Cupcakes
Alexis cake for her pink and zebra print party
The next year I created a cake that was one of my favorite cakes I've worked on. She's quite the artist, and had an art party at a local studio where all the girls got to paint and make some projects. I loved making the fondant pieces and designing the look of this cake. I also made some crayon sugar cookies
Alexis' art themed party cake and sugar cookies
Last year I was gone at a work conference for her birthday, so I wasn't able to make her cake. But I did create some Elsa, Anna, and Olaf fondant toppers for Frozen cupcakes!
This year, I decided to do ballet themed cupcakes because that's a special connection she and I have, I used to do ballet as well and love watching her get excited about her recitals!
I wasn't sure what kind of ballet cupcakes to make, so I looked around online for ideas. I found an adorable tutu marshmallow pops on Pinterest that are pretty popular. I thought that rather than create the pops, I could turn those into a cupcake design.
The cupcakes were easy to decorate, I just piped on the icing as normal and then topped with a decorated marshmallow. The marshmallow serves as the tutu bodice and is easy to make by adding some sprinkles to a damp marshmallow.
Here's how I made the cupcakes -
Tutu cupcake ingredients:
- Cupcakes
- Buttercream icing
- Sprinkles
- Marshmallows
- Toothpicks

The latest surrounding the Houston Astrodome is the Harris County Taxpayer Protection Act failed to proceed through the state legislature. Had this bill passed it would have forced Harris County to hold an election for voters to approve the proposed Astrodome Redevelopment. Consequently, Phase I design which includes raising the floor to create 1,400 parking spaces is proceeding, with construction projected to commence in approximately 18 months.
Additionally, the Astrodome Conservancy, formed in the summer of 2016, continues to explore opportunities for opening up the Astrodome to the public for short-term uses. The Astrodome was recently granted State Antiquities Landmark Status and despite various set-backs lives to see another day.

Reliability Analysis and Optimization
Improving rotating equipment reliability is core to the mission of RBB Engineering. We use our knowledge of rotating equipment design and analysis methods, component manufacturing processes, equipment operating conditions, and our in-depth knowledge of the physics behind each of the potential failure mechanisms to quantify the current reliability of rotating equipment. We use this analysis as a baseline, and explore how changes in equipment design, component manufacturing methods, operating conditions, or lubrication affect the reliability of the equipment, along with its cost. By using this methodology, the lowest total cost of ownership design can be developed.

Inspiring innovation
Innovation is a skill that we think everyone can learn and benefit from. Below you'll find everything you need to start inspiring the girls in your life to be curious about innovation and passionate about how technology can help improve our lives – including their own!
Making innovation easy
Trying to be innovative can feel intimidating at first, especially if you're not used to thinking that way. But with a little encouragement, young girls can come up with some really amazing technology ideas – as they showed us during last year's Girls Who Innovate competition!
That's why we've created a framework to help educators, parents and influencers teach their girls about innovation, and to guide them through some simple exercises to help them get started. Just download these two documents:
Display this PowerPoint presentation on a computer, monitor or screen
Print one worksheet for each participant
These materials are designed so that even large groups can complete an Innovation Session in a relatively short amount of time, and make it easy for you to cover the topics of innovation and ICT in a way that's both thorough and accessible. Best of all, once the innovation session is complete, your girls/students can submit their ideas to the Girls Who Innovate competition between April 16, 2018 and May 25, 2018.
Encouraging our girls to be innovative, and to pursue careers in STEM is one of the best things we can do for them, and for our communities as a while. The ICT industry needs the contributions of women in order to be as innovative as possible!
Girls in ICT Day + Girls Who Innovate
As part of our Girls in ICT Day celebration, we're hosting our second Girls Who Innovate competition. Learn more about how this contest is a great opportunity for girls aged 9-18 to start a journey that can lead to a rewarding STEM career here.
Share the innovation
Are you planning on conducting your own innovation session? Record it with pictures or video, then submit your session to [email@example.com]. Your example will give others helpful ideas on how to conduct their own sessions, helping to spread the innovation learning even further. You can also share your Innovation Session on social media using the hashtag #GWI2018.
