“A supernova is a stellar explosion that briefly outshines an entire galaxy, radiating as much energy as the Sun or any ordinary star is expected to emit over its entire life span, before fading from view over several weeks or months.[1] The extremely luminous burst of radiation expels much or all of a star’s material[2] at a velocity of up to 30,000 km/s (10% of the speed of light), driving a shock wave[3] into the surrounding interstellar medium. This shock wave sweeps up an expanding shell of gas and dust called a supernova remnant. A great proportion of primary cosmic rays comes from supernovae.[4]  Supernovae are more energetic than a nova. Nova means “new” in Latin, referring to what appears to be a very bright new star shining in the celestial sphere; the prefix “super-” distinguishes supernovae from ordinary novae, which are far less luminous. The word supernova was coined by Walter Baade and Fritz Zwicky in 1931.[5] It is pronounced /ˌsuːpərnoʊvə/ with the plural supernovae /ˌsuːpərnoʊviː/ or supernovas (abbreviated SN, plural SNe after “supernovae”).” – Supernova – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernova

About Edna St. Vincent Millay

“From 1925 to 1950, Edna St. Vincent Millay lived and worked on a farm in the hamlet of Austerlitz in Columbia County, New York, a farm which she named Steepletop. The name was drawn from a wild flower which grew all over the property: Steeplebush, or Hardhack, technically Spirea Tomentosa. Steepletop then encompassed 700 acres including a wonderful garden designed, planted and

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you – Joseph Heller

“Privacy today faces growing threats from a growing surveillance apparatus that is often justified in the name of national security. Numerous government agencies—including the National Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, and state and local law enforcement agencies—intrude upon the private communications of innocent citizens, amass vast databases of who we call and when, and catalog “suspicious activities” based on the

Very often, at the end of a class, I’m supposed to offer a survey on the behalf of my host. Also very often, at the end of a class, there’s some questions and thoughts from the audience that may take precedence over a ‘proper’ close (“Thank you, good night, drive safe!”) and invitation to fill out the survey. Other times, well, I just forget in the moment of relief that things went well, etc.

There are a few things that always tend to show up in my presentation decks, like a thank you slide, an agenda slide, and social connection reminder slides. I am making this image so that I can create a standard reminder slide for a survey, right before the thank you slide. This also means that I made a survey for times when my host is not asking for one: something I really should have been doing anyway, given the incredible importance of feedback. And here it is, my 3 question customer service feedback survey! You can even use it to give me feedback anonymously on this post, and thanks in advance for the insight.

A presentation without a chance to fill in the survey is like a web site without analytics.

Without it, how do you know how you are doing?  I have been incredibly touched by some comments (take a look at my testimonials for some kind words about my work) and others that corrected me, or gave me a different way of thinking. Insights are incredibly valuable, and surveys are loaded with them.
