SEPTEMBER 20, 2018
New York time in Aberdeen, Maryland. The media will give more than 15 minutes of fame, then it will facilitate suicide. That seems to sum up the kind of phenomenon which has played out yet again. This time it began a bit after 9:00 A.M. As usual, there were multiple fatalities and multiple injuries. The surprise was that the alleged shooter is still alive. It was a she. And she is in critical condition.

Yes, you could get beat up and die. Or the penalty will be dished out later, as in being jumped or your windshield smashed a month later for seemingly no reason.
Martin O'Malley - Lots Going For Him

MAY 30, 2015
His current job as Governor of Maryland generates myriad opportunities for media to interview him about the crisis in Baltimore. Those in the Anyone-But-Hillary camp now have Martin O'Malley. They will probably pull out all stops to fundraise and maximize media opportunities. But O'Malley has lots more going for him than that. At the top of the list is his age. He is 50 years old versus Hillary Clinton's 65.
Was It a Cultural Bad Fit? - "Joseph Mott v. Accenture"

The red flag in this kind of supposed age discrimination lawsuit is this: The plaintiff Joseph Mott was 61 years old when hired as an in-house lawyer role by management consulting firm Accenture. Yet, in his lawsuit he contends he was terminated for age discrimination.

For example, in Baltimore, Maryland, only one in five jobs which city residents work at are based within the city.

The Washington Post reports that SAGECare has begun to be active in the more conservative Maryland/Virginia region. Members of the LGBT community worry about feeling "safe" if and when they relocate to a retirement development. After all, they remember vividly the era in which an alternate sexual orientation was best kept under wraps. In liberal states, SAGECare has been able to certify about 300 retirement facilities as okay for LGBTs to settle in.

Research by LinkAKC found that more than 80% of us humans depend on our dogs for our mental health needs. And, in this era of extreme narcissism when we need someone, anyone to listen, more than 80% turn to our dogs. Here is the coverage of that survey. These findings should be no surprise.

Speaking Of...
SEPTEMBER 14, 2008
Took a driving trip through Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia, visiting some Civil War battle sights and museums. Maryland, though technically part of the USA during the Civil War, is really, as a friend reminded me, part of the South in many ways. A scene from Antietam National Battlefield, "Bloody Lane" and Pennsylvania monument. Looks remarkably like this in 2008, due to the efforts of battlefield preservationists.

In tony neighbors, such as gentrified sections of Baltimore, Maryland, there are walk-ins. The memory of the fatal home invasion of the Petit household, Cheshire, Connecticut, is stuck in our consciousness. The mother and two young daughters were murdered. It was during the day.

Another - Kay Prezio - bunks in Baltimore, Maryland, but comes West now and then. The idea of sisterhood was introduced during the second wave of feminism. Essentially it was political. Instead of the world continuing to be entirely a man's, we and our sisters were told that we could re-make it into an entity in which we also had power. And that we did. That was the 1970s. We were young. We were on the way to the top of corporations.

She grew up in a suburb of Maryland where those government spooks and military types lived. International clothes designer Vicky Tiel made it quickly, right after she graduated from Parsons.

How she did is a story she tells in her book "It's All About the Dress: What I learned in forty years about men, women, sex, and fashion."

The meme of this second decade of the 21st century is: moments. Twitter captures them in text and photos. It even has a section marked that way. Selfies give our moments visual power. And, smart marketers such as kglobal public affairs blur the line between personal and professional moments, especially on Facebook.

Public Speaking - Excellent Storytelling Tips
Great Public Speaking
AUGUST 29, 2011
If your story takes place in a restaurant say, "I was at Jerry's Sub Shop in Rockville, Maryland, the other day." Specify the location of a joke or story. This gives the audience something concrete to think about, which makes them more involved mentally. When crafting a story, use people, places, and things the audience knows. When the audience is familiar with the elements in your story, they will become even more involved.
