Inertia is an object’s tendency to resist changes in motion. So, if something isn’t moving, it’s going to resist being moved. On […]
ADA: Too Much or Not Enough?

They’re the most easily preventable. […]

The Ten Commandments of Adult Learning: Why is Learning Hard Work?
The more we learn, the easier learning gets, right? That makes sense, but it’s not necessarily true. Claude Messier—a physiology professor of the University of Ottawa— was quoted in an article published by the Scientific American saying that “the brain is a lazy bum.” Let me give that some context. The article reports that the brain runs on about twelve […]
Four Defensive Driving Principles
The LLLC Defensive Driving Principles™ Many people talk about defensive driving, but not many know exactly what it is. So, let’s talk specifics. True defensive driving boils down to behaviors, and we’ve created an easy-to-remember mnemonic to define four principles and behaviors that are essential defensive driving habits. It’s called The LLLC Defensive Driving Principles™, but we […]
