Learning Disorders

Do you suspect that your child or teen may have a learning disorder? We can test for learning disorders in reading, writing, and math, sometimes called dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. We provide a full scale IQ test for your child or teen to determine their intellectual strengths and need areas. We then complete a full scale achievement test to determine your child's level of functioning in a variety of academic areas. We also have more specific testing that can assess whether dyslexia is present. We will go over the results of the testing and outline your child's unique academic strengths and areas of need. We then give you a plan for improvement and a comprehensive written report that outlines all of the testing, results, interpretations, and recommendations. P.S. We also assess adults for learning disorders!

What are the different types of learning disorders?

Psychologists distinguish among three broad types of learning disorders:

Specific Learning Disorder with Impairment in Reading:

Problems relating to reading such as pronunciation, spelling, reading speed, and phonics. May also be called Dyslexia.

Specific Learning Disorder with Impairment in Writing:

Symptoms may include poor or illegible handwriting, difficulty thinking and writing at the same time, omitted words, and inconsistent spacing. May also be referred to as Dysgraphia.

Specific Learning Disorder with Impairment in Mathematics:

Difficulty learning math facts such as understanding word problems, working with money, fractions, and understanding concepts related to time. Also known as Dyscalculia.

There is significant variability within those categories An evaluation can help to describe the unique challenges your child faces and produce a plan for treatment specific to your child. Even if your child doesn't qualify for a diagnosis of a learning disorder, testing can provide you with insight into your child's strengths and problem areas and give you direction on how to help them. We are located in Cary NC and are convenient to Raleigh, Apex, and Holly Springs.

Did you know..

Having a learning disorder doesn't mean your child or teen isn't smart! On the contrary, having a learning disorder means that your child has difficulty using their intelligence. It means your child has the ability to learn, but the knowledge isn't getting in.

About Dyslexia

When people think of dyslexia, they often think of letter reversals or writing backward. Dyslexia captures much more than that: problems with spelling, speed of reading, pronouncing words, and reading comprehension. In fact, it's perfectly normal for children to read and write letters backward or reverse letters as they learn to read.

Your child might have dyslexia if they have more difficulty than same-age peers in some of the following areas:

-Difficulty identifying rhyming words

-Reads slowly

-Difficulty "sounding out" words

-Cannot describe what he or she just read

-Has trouble finding the right word or name for things

-Poor spelling

-Difficulty reading out loud smoothly

Psychologists actually do not use the word "dyslexia" as a diagnosis. In our language, these symptoms are known as a Specific Learning Disorder with Impairment in Reading.

Do you like to explore new things? Are you always looking for a new adventure to embark on? If so, then you have the Explorer archetype within you.

This archetype is all about seeking out new experiences and learning as much as possible about the world around you.

In this blog post, we will discuss how to unleash your inner Explorer and use its power to achieve your goals. We’ll also provide tips for tapping into your Explorer’s energy when it starts to fade. So read on.

What Is The Explorer Archetype?

The Explorer archetype is one of the twelve personality archetypes identified by Jung and is all about new experiences and adventure. This can make them great problem-solvers, as they are constantly exploring different ways to approach a situation.

READ MORE: What are Archetypes?

Everyone has the Explorer Archetype within them. It is just a matter of tapping into it and letting it shine.

Explorer Archetype Characteristics

The Explorer archetype is all about seeking new experiences and expanding your horizons. If this sounds like you, here are some of the key characteristics of the Explorer archetype

Here is a list of characteristics of the Explorer Archetype.

○ Adventurous
○ Ambitious
○ Independent
○ Daring
○ Discovery
○ New Experiences
○ Freedom
○ Authenticity
○ Being Trapped
○ Conformity
○ Aimlessness
○ Being deceived
○ Journeying to feel alive
○ Escaping from boredom

The Explorer is also highly independent, preferring to chart their own course in life. They are often creative and expressive, seeing the world in a unique way. This can make them a great asset in any team, as they can offer a different perspective that may not have been considered before.

This Jungian Archetype is also similar to the Adventurer Archetype from the Masculine Archetype Deck I created.

The Explorer is also a great problem solver, as they are not afraid of challenges and are always looking for new ways to overcome them. They may have a strong sense of wanderlust, always wanting to explore new places and learn about different cultures.

Shadow Aspects of the Explorer

Although the Explorer archetype is associated with positive qualities such as curiosity, adventure, and fearlessness, it can also have shadow aspects.

When the Explorer is out of balance, they can be reckless, heedless of danger, and even foolhardy. They may also become narrow-minded and inflexible in their thinking, refusing to consider other points of view.

Shadow Aspects of the Explorer Archetype:

  • Reckless
  • Heedless of Danger
  • Foolhardy
  • Narrow-minded
  • Inflexible opinions

In order to stay in balance, the Explorer needs to maintain a sense of detachment and curiosity about the world around them. They must also be willing to take risks, but not so much that their safety or well-being is endangered. And finally, they must be able to listen to others, even if they do not agree with them.

If you find yourself struggling with any of the Explorer’s shadow aspects, there are ways to deal with them.

First, take a step back and assess the situation.

Are you really in danger? Or are you just being reckless without justification?

Next, try to be more mindful of your surroundings and the possible dangers involved.

Finally, open yourself up to other points of view and consider that you may not be right all the time. This last step can be difficult for the Explorer, but it is essential in order to maintain balance.

Pop Culture Examples Of The Explorer

There are many examples of the Explorer in movies and pop culture. Here are a few:

  • Indiana Jones is the quintessential Explorer. He is always on the hunt for new adventures and treasures.
  • Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games is a great example of the Explorer in action. She is always willing to take risks and push herself beyond her comfort zone in order to survive.

  • Captain James T.Kirk from Star Trek is the ultimate Explorer. He is always looking for new worlds to explore and challenges to overcome.
  • Sir Ernest Shackleton is a real-life Explorer who is known for his many adventures in the Arctic and Antarctic.

Each of these examples of the Explorer archetype demonstrates different aspects of the persona. However, they all share one common trait: a thirst for adventure and exploration.

Example of The Explorer Archetype For Brands

Many brands show a personality that is built off the Archetypes.  An example would be the Explorer.

Subaru is a great example of a brand that embodies the Explorer archetype. They are known for their adventurous spirit and have a history of making vehicles that can handle any terrain. Their commercials are full of outdoor activities and their slogan is “It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.”

Other brands that might appeal to the Explorer archetype include Patagonia, The North Face, and REI. All of these brands emphasize outdoor activities and promote a sense of adventure. They are perfect for people who want to explore the world and push their boundaries.

Explorer Archetype Brands:

  • Jeep
  • NASA
  • Subaru
  • North Face

There are a few ways that brands can tap into the Explorer Archetype. One is to create campaigns and content that focus on adventure and exploration. This could be anything from traveling to new places to trying out new products or experiences.

 Another way is to showcase the brand’s unique perspective on the world. The Explorer is always looking for new ways to see things, so highlighting this in your marketing can be really effective.

Finally, it’s important to engage with your audience in a way that encourages curiosity. Ask them questions and give them opportunities to explore your brand and its offerings. This will help them connect with the Explorer Archetype and feel inspired to venture out on their own.

Why Working In Retirement Doesn’t Always Work

As we’ve all heard, even the best-laid plans can go awry.

When those plans involve retirement, the stakes are high. Let’s say you were planning on continuing to work in retirement to supplement your monthly income. It’s easy to see how a change in those plans could impact you significantly.

Sadly, some people interviewed by Business Insider found that to be the case in a recent article.1 Among the workers interviewed was a salesman with 42 years of experience and a veteran of the screen-printing industry. Each of them said that finding a new job as an older worker was a challenge, and they wondered if their experience was common.

The answer may be yes, at least as a trend. A study from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco found that age can impact callback rates.2 The study found that older female candidates for administrative positions were called back at a 47% lower rate than their younger competitors. For women seeking sales-related positions, the rate was 36%.

There were discrepancies among male applicants, as well. Receiving a call back is just one measurement of job search success, but it can be a strong one. As other pre-retirees and retirees discovered, even if you aren’t looking for a job, layoffs or forced retirement could change your plans.

A ProPublica.org study that workers who enter their 50s holding full-time, long-term positions were often being pushed out of their positions by employers. Overall, the study found that of this group, 56% experienced employer-driven job loss, and only 16% were still working.3

The ProPublica study also points out another uncomfortable finding. Of those people who had some employment setback, such as an employer-driven job loss, only 10% were able to ever earn as much as they did before their employment setback. Even looking at data years later, those workers remained noticeably behind their peers who didn’t experience an employment disruption.

While that’s a lot of doom and gloom, there is reason to be hopeful about your future, as long as you are heading into it with your eyes wide open. Pre-retirees and retirees who know they’ll be depending on continuing income sources to reach their retirement goals can plan accordingly. Additional budgeting can trim your bottom line and working with a financial services professional can help you prepare a workable strategy for income in retirement.

The point that this research makes is important: It may be natural or easy to assume that you’ll be able to keep your full-time, long-time job if you continue to perform, and you want it. And that could be a dangerous idea.

If you have questions on how your retirement strategy can be changed to adapt to the future, you may want to reach out and set up a time to talk with a financial services professional.

That way, if your best-laid plans go awry, you’ll have a backup plan in place to help you adapt on the fly. At the end of the day, everyone wants the retirement they’ve always dreamed of — make sure you develop a strategy that can help you absorb the unexpected and stay on course.

Whenever there's a compliance scandal in the news, one of the first questions to come up is, "Why did they do it?"

Fundamentally, we're asking ourselves, “What motivated this employee or team to act unethically?”

Like many of you, the Rethink Compliance team likes to geek out on behavioral science and psychology. To be effective as compliance professionals, we have to understand what motivates what we do. Why do employees make unethical decisions? How can we persuade them to make better decisions?

That's why we're excited to share this article from Suzan McGinnis, senior director of advisory services, in the latest issue of ethikos magazine, "Can Choices Be This Simple: Survival or Status?"

If you're an SCCE member, you can read the full article here.

Suzan teams up with Jinger Gustafson, assistant professor and department chair of educational leadership at Minnesota State University, Mankato, to explore why employees make ethical — or unethical — choices. Using Maslow's hierarchy of needs, they explore how survival and status factor into ethical decision-making at work.

Suzan tells the story of how a trip overseas opened her eyes to the way company culture can influence employee behavior. Work plays a large role in our lives. "The fact for most of us is that a job is our livelihood and, for some, our family, extended family, and community,” she writes.

When Suzan saw how much our needs for safety and status influence our decision making, she was inspired to "recalibrate [her] thinking and future approach to ethics training."

One of our mottos here at Rethink is, "Start with your audience." It's easy to get caught up in what you want to tell employees about a compliance topic and forget about what else might be going on in a person's life. Human needs for things like safety and status fundamentally motivate what we do in and out of the office (or home office). An effective compliance program acknowledges those needs and connects with employees on a human level.

Evacuated residents from the besieged city of Severodonetsk in Ukraine are suffering from chronic dehydration after weeks living underground, according to a doctor with Médecins Sans Frontières.

Dr Andrei Slavuckij, who is currently based near Kramatorsk, 100km east of Severodonetsk, told Prime Time that many evacuees are in a poor medical state.

Analysts believe that Russia is verging on an important symbolic victory in Severodonetsk, which is the administrative centre of Luhansk, one of two large Eastern provinces that make up the Donbas region.

Thousands have fled Donbas in recent weeks after Russian president Vladimir Putin pledged to "liberate" the region.

"Many of them were in quite chronic kind of dehydration – specifically some children and elderly as well," Dr Slavuckij said.

"There were lot of complications of their chronic conditions, because many of them – they were living without the continuous treatment they need. There were some bad wounds that were not treated properly since long time. So, physically and mentally, those people are completely exhausted."

Some of the last remaining residents, many of them elderly and vulnerable, are leaving under bombardment in dangerous conditions.

"Many of them are elderly people who do not want to leave. But, surprisingly, also some mothers and children are staying behind. They don't know where to go, they're scared," Dr Slavuckij said.

"It’s only after direct shelling starts permanently that some of them finally decide to leave. So it's quite dangerous then. People are hiding in underground mainly. Some of them, they live on the basement floor. And what they lack is simple water, clean water, and sometimes food."

In Severodonetsk, for example, from a former population of 120,000 people, less than 15,000 people remain.

Both sides say that Russian forces, and local pro-Russian separatists, now control between a third and half of the city.

With much of the infrastructure in the wider region destroyed, including internet and mobile phone networks, it’s also hard to get reliable information about access routes, as relief groups attempt to assist to the wounded, Dr Slavuckij said.


If you’re interested in the art of hand drumming, learning how to play the djembe is a great place to start. This West African instrument is simple to learn, as there are just three fundamental ways to strike the drum. Once you master those strokes, you can move on to progressively more intricate and impressive percussion patterns.

Dive into the origins of the djembe and learn how to play djembe drum in the tutorial below.

What Is a Djembe Drum?

The djembe (pronounced “jem-bay”) is a goblet-shaped drum from West Africa. Traditionally, the djembe drum is carved from a single piece of African hardwood, and an animal skin is stretched over the top to create the drumhead. Loud and versatile, the djembe can make a wide variety of sounds and can be heard even over an ensemble of other drums.

The name of the drum comes from the African phrase, “Anke djé, anke bé,” which the Bamana in Mali used to call their people together. The phrase translates to, “Everyone gather together in peace.”

The djembe drum is a goblet-shaped drum carved from a piece of African hardwood.

Is the Djembe Drum Easy to Learn?

Mastering the djembe can be a lifelong pursuit, but you can get started easily. Learning how to play the djembe drum comes down to mastering just three fundamental tones: bass, tone, and slap. Once you understand how to make those sounds, you can use them in several basic patterns, and from there, you can learn increasingly complex rhythms

How to Play Djembe

Step 1: Get Into Position

The djembe can be played  either standing and sitting. To play standing, you need a strap, so this tutorial focuses on the sitting position.

First, sit on a stool or in a chair that has no arms. With your upper legs parallel to the floor, gently wrap your legs around the drum and tilt it slightly forward, which allows the sound to come out of the drum. Make sure to remove any jewelry, which can impede the sound and damage the drum.

To learn how to play a djembe drum, start by sitting with your legs wrapped around the drum and the drum tilted slightly forward.

Step 2: Learn the Bass Tone

The bass tone is the lowest sound that the djembe makes. To make this sound, use the entire bottom side of your hand, including the fingers and palm. Keep your hand flat, and strike the drum a little off center. Once you hit the drum, immediately lift your hand off the surface—otherwise, you’ll mute the tone.

The bass tone is played by striking the entire hand just off center on the surface of the djembe drum.

Step 3: Master the Open Tone

The open tone is a sound created on the edge of the djembe drum. To learn exactly where to strike it, place your fingers on the drum, lining up your knuckles with the outer edge of the surface (keeping your thumbs off the drum). Strike the drum, keeping your fingers together.

Step 4: Practice the Slap Tone

The most difficult of the three to master, the slap tone is an aggressive sound that’s often used as an accent beat. To make this sound, line up your hands in the same way you’d set up for an open tone. Slightly separate your fingers. When you strike the drum, aim to hit the edge with your palm and allow your fingers to just slightly rebound off the surface of the drum.

To play the slap tone, aim to hit the rim of the djembe with the top portion of your palm, allowing your fingers to rebound off the drum’s surface.

Step 5: Play a Basic Pattern

Now that you have a grasp on all three tones, incorporate them into simple patterns. Start with a basic quarter note exercise—bass, open, bass, slap—which will help you get comfortable with the three tones, as well as alternating hands.

An essential step in learning how to play djembe drums is practicing basic patterns that combine the three main tones.

Now that you understand the fundamentals of how to play the djembe, you can progress to more advanced patterns. Practicing consistently is key to mastering this instrument, so pull out your drum often, or find a group of fellow drummers to play with. You’ll have fun, make good music, and find a new way to express yourself.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK) or Britain, is a sovereign state in Europe. Lying off the north-western coast of the European mainland, the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to its west and north, the North Sea to its east and the English Channel to its south. It includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and numerous smaller islands.

The UK consists of four countries – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland – and has a total area of 243,000 sq km. It is the 22nd-most populous country, with an estimated 64.1 million inhabitants. Its capital city is London, an important global city and financial centre with an urban population of 10,310,000. London is one of the three “command centres” of the global economy alongside New York City and Tokyo. It is the world’s largest financial centre alongside New York and has the largest city GDP in Europe.

The UK has a high-income economy, the world’s sixth largest by nominal GDP and tenth-largest by purchasing power parity. It has been a member state of the European Union (EU) and its predecessor, the European Economic Community (EEC), since 1973; it is also a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Council of Europe, the G7, the G8, the G20, NATO, the OECD and the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

The UK is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance. The parliament meets in the Palace of Westminster and has two houses: an elected House of Commons and an appointed House of Lords. All bills passed are given Royal Assent before becoming law. Governments are elected for a fixed five-year term.

The UK has three distinct systems of law – English law, Northern Ireland law and Scots law. Both English law, which applies in England and Wales, and Northern Ireland law are based on common-law principles, such that the law is developed by judges in courts, applying statute, precedent and common sense to the facts before them to give explanatory judgements, which are reported and binding in future similar cases. Scots law is a hybrid system based on both common-law and civil-law principles.

The courts of England and Wales are headed by the Senior Courts of England and Wales – the Court of Appeal, the High Court of Justice (for civil cases) and the Crown Court (for criminal cases). A new Supreme Court of the UK was formed in 2009 to replace the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords. It is the highest court for both criminal and civil appeal cases in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and any decision it makes is binding on every other court in the same jurisdiction, often having a persuasive effect in other common law jurisdictions. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, including the same members as the Supreme Court, is the highest court of appeal for several independent Commonwealth countries, the British Overseas Territories and the Crown Dependencies.

HM Treasury, headed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is responsible for developing and executing the British government’s public finance policy and economic policy. The Bank of England is the UK’s central bank and is responsible for issuing notes and coins in the nation’s currency, the pound sterling. Pound sterling is the world’s third-largest reserve currency after the US Dollar and the Euro.

UK-source income is generally subject to UK taxation no matter the citizenship nor the place of residence of the individual, nor the place of registration of the company. UK income tax liability for individuals who are neither resident nor ordinarily resident in the UK is limited to any tax deducted at source on UK-income, together with tax on income from a trade or profession carried on through a permanent establishment in the UK and tax on rental income from UK real estate. The UK applies Value Added Tax (VAT), capital gains tax (CGT), inheritance tax (IHT) and stamp duties on properties.

Individuals who are both resident and domiciled in the UK are additionally liable to taxation on their worldwide income and gains. For individuals resident but not domiciled in the UK (“non-doms”), only income and gains remitted to the UK are taxed but, from 2008, non-doms wishing to retain the remittance basis are required to pay an annual tax.

Corporation tax is levied in the UK on the profits made by companies and on the profits of permanent establishments of non-UK resident companies and associations that trade in the EU. A company is resident in the UK if it is UK-incorporated or if its central management and control are in the UK. Double taxation of income and gains may be avoided by an applicable double tax treaty and the UK has one of the largest networks of treaties worldwide.

The UK has sovereignty over 17 territories which do not form part of the UK itself: 14 British Overseas Territories, which include Anguilla, Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Gibraltar and the Turks and Caicos Islands, and three Crown dependencies – the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey in the English Channel and the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea.


Bridging finance is a type of financing that allows you to borrow money for your business and repay the debt over time with payments. However, many people are unclear about what bridging finance is, so in this article we will talk about the basics – what it is, how it works and who can use it.

What is Bridging Finance?

Bridging finance is a term used to describe the process of obtaining funding from different sources, such as private equity or venture capital, in order to support a business’ growth. It can be a difficult and time-consuming process, but it can be incredibly rewarding when it’s successful.

There are a number of factors to consider when seeking bridging finance, including the company’s stage and its overall financial profile. Ideally, bridging finance will help companies grow faster and achieve their full potential. However, it’s important to remember that not all companies are suited for bridging finance. If you don’t have all of the necessary components, don’t waste your time and money trying to apply for funding. Instead, focus on developing your business until you do.

There are a number of ways to get started with bridging finance. Start by talking to your bankers and other financiers to get an idea of what they might be able to offer you. Once you know what you need and where you stand, start looking for potential investors. There are a number of online resources available that can help connect you with interested investors.

How do you choose a bridging finance company?

When looking for a bridging finance company, it is important to consider a few key factors. First and foremost, you need to decide what type of bridging finance you need. There are three main types of bridging finance: bridge loans, loan factoring, and loan syndication.

Bridge loans are short-term loans that are used to bridge the gap between two financial milestones. They are typically used to help companies get through difficult times while they wait for longer-term financing options to materialise.

Loan factoring is a financial services industry term that refers to the process of lending money against receivables – in other words, lending money to businesses so that they can continue to pay their bills on time. This type of financing can be useful for companies that have high levels of debt but low levels of cash flow.

Loan syndication is a more complex form of bridging finance. In this scenario, several lenders work together to provide a combined loan amount to a single borrower. This type of financing is often used by companies that need large amounts of money quickly – for example, when they’re about to go public or when they’re trying to raise money from investors.

How much they charge and how long the payment plan is

Bridging finance is the process of using one form of financing to help bridge a gap in another form of financing. In order to qualify for a bridging finance loan, you will need to have some form of qualifying debt, such as a personal loan or mortgage. Once you have this debt, you can then apply for a bridging finance loan, which will help cover the remaining balance on your other debt. The length of the payment plan will vary depending on the lender, but most loans offer terms of between six and twelve months.

Bridging finance

Why do people use these services?

There are many reasons why people may need to use a bridging finance service. Some people may need to bridge a financial gap between two different periods of their lives, while others may need to bridge a temporary cash flow issue. Regardless of the reason, using a bridging finance service can help you get the money you need quickly and without having to go through the hassle and stress of seeking traditional financing options.

One common way that bridging finance services are used is to help individuals who have retired or are in the process of retiring from their jobs. This can be a difficult transition, and oftentimes individuals don’t have enough money saved up to cover their expenses while they’re out of work. By borrowing money from a bridging finance service, these individuals can cover their costs until they start receiving their pension or until they find another job.

Similarly, young professionals may also find themselves in a bind when it comes time to buy their first home or pay off some debt. Unless they have an extremely high salary or are investing heavily in property, most people won’t be able to save up enough money to cover these costs on their own. In these cases, a bridging finance service can come in handy by providing them with short term loans for the necessary amount.

This type of loan is extremely important because it can make a huge difference in an individual’s financial situation. Many people would settle for very little to put a roof over their head, but bridging finance services will often be willing to offer them more than they would expect. In many cases, this allows an individual to cover a portion of his monthly housing costs while he’s out of work or waiting on his pension to kick in full time. With this flexibility, these individuals are able to remain debt-free and maintain their standard of living without putting anything at risk.

If you’re looking to start or grow your business, one of the most important things you can do is find and secure funding. But securing funding can be difficult – there are a lot of options out there and it can be tough to know which ones are right for you. In this article, we’ll discuss what bridging finance is, overview some of the different types of bridging finance available, and offer some tips for finding the best funding solution for your business. So whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been working on your business for awhile but want to take it to the next level, read on to learn more about bridging finance and how it can help your business achieve its goals.

What Does Code P0304 Mean?

A misfire is just what it sounds like; a cylinder that is not firing as it should.  The P0304 code is caused by a misfire on the number four cylinder. The Misfire monitor diagnostic is based on variation in crankshaft velocity. The PCM determines this information using the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor. A misfiring cylinder slows down momentarily, so by monitoring the cam and crank sensor signals, the PCM can calculate when a misfire occurs.  A P0304 code tells you only that a misfire has been detected, not WHY the cylinder is misfiring.  That’s why with this code, a thorough diagnosis is mandatory.

Misfire Monitor

Ignition Systems

Waste spark distributorless ignition systems (DIS) are common on many cars.  Identifying and understanding a waste spark DIS can help with troubleshooting a misfire.

Your car has a waste spark DIS if there are fewer coils than cylinders. The system shares a coil with two spark plugs corresponding to companion cylinders – the cylinders which are opposite in the firing sequence.

The following Youtube video series describes the GM waste spark distributorless ignition system:

What are the common causes of code P0304 ?

  • Cylinder #4 Spark Plug
  • Cylinder #4 Coil
  • Cylinder #4 Wiring
  • Cylinder #4 Fuel Injector

How do you troubleshoot code P0304 ?

Often, the best way to troubleshoot a single cylinder misfire is to swap ignition components between the misfiring cylinder and a good cylinder.  If the misfire moves with the sparkplug (for example) then the sparkplug would be the cause of the misfire.  If switching components to a good cylinder doesn’t eliminate the original misfire then there could be a problem with compression.  See articles P0300 & P0301 for in depth troubleshooting of the four misfire causes: fuel, spark, timing, and compression.

Ideas Made to Matter

The curse of knowledge: Why experts struggle to explain their work

Experts in a given domain often have a hard time communicating with nonexperts. They dive into the weeds; they ignore context; they talk over heads and beyond interest.

“That is the curse of knowledge,” saida senior lecturer in managerial communication at MIT Sloan. “We have to work really hard when we are communicating information to people who don't have the same level of expertise that we have.”

This skill becomes particularly important in conversation with senior managers or external clients and stakeholders.

In a recent webinar, “The curse of knowledge: Why smart professionals struggle to explain their work,” Kazakoff explored this challenge and offered one simple solution, among others, to help bring the worlds of experts and nonexperts closer together. Here are highlights from his presentation:

Understand the process of understanding

Kazakoff began with the fundamental description of communication. How, on the most basic level, do we communicate with each other?

Drawing from engineering, he outlined a three-step process that begins with the encoding of information. All of our ideas exist first in our heads; we encode these either in visual form, as words or pictures or graphs, or in audio form, by speaking. In the second step, this information is transmitted to other people. Finally, recipients decode the transmissions that they receive.

“You take in visuals through your eyes and sounds through your ears, and your brain decodes this back into information,” Kazakoff said. “I believe that every communication problem we have happens in this process of encoding and decoding information.”

The challenge arises because one brain — yours — encodes information, but many, many different minds decode that same information, Kazakoff said. Decodings that seem obvious to experts can be difficult for or misinterpreted by other people.

“One of the critical challenges of professional communication is to recognize and internalize the variety of ways that people decode things,” he said.

To illustrate the way experts have a hard time unknowing a topic in which they’re immersed, Kazakoff showed the audience a picture of a rose. He then showed the same picture highlighting an unexpected image hidden within the petals of the rose. Once revealed, this image became a defining feature of the rose.

“When we see a pattern or recognize something or know something, we forget what it was like before we knew that thing. We can't unsee [it],” he said. “This is why experts struggle to communicate about their own domain to nonexperts. There is a tremendous amount of context and knowledge that makes it hard to recognize what it was like before we knew what we now know. "

Use headlines, not labels, in your presentations

Kazakoff has developed a battery of tactical tools for overcoming the challenge of encoding and decoding (solutions that he covers in an executive education course he teaches, "Persuading with Data"). In his webinar, he honed in on just one of those solutions, an often overlooked practice that can improve comprehension in slide decks, which are ubiquitous in the realm of business communications.

The short of it: Write headlines, instead of labels, on the top of each slide. A label simply describes what the topic of the slide is. In contrast, a headline explains the most important idea on a slide or the one thing you want the audience to take from a graph.

“This is one of those things that is simple to understand, somewhat difficult to do, and that has a tremendously powerful impact on your audience. It forces you to decide the point of each slide and the presentation as a whole,” Kazakoff said.

Headlines offer experts multiple benefits:

  • They help presenters refine the point they’re trying to make and they help narrow the variety of ways in which the audience might decode the information that’s being presented.
  • They can help reduce the number of off-topic questions.
  • Beyond slide presentations — in a meeting or conversation, for instance — a headline approach can help presenters define the core ideas they want to communicate.

What makes a good headline? Kazakoff says it ought to contain a verb. Presentations that use headlines in that way create a basic narrative or argument when the slides are threaded together. Reading the headlines alone would make the point of the presentation, and if the audience agrees with the logical progression of the headlines, they will accept the conclusion.

“These are actually surprisingly difficult skills to master,” he said. And they require practice; they benefit from formalization. “We have classes here at MIT of course, but I’d suggest you think about different ways that you can go through cycles of this to help make it into a process, a framework, and a reference point that gets better as you work with it.”

Lively Web

Lively is a web-deployed integrated development environment for web and Cloud applications. The earliest IDEs were developed at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in the 1970’s, including Smalltalk 76, Interlisp-D, and Cedar. Today the most prominent IDEs include Eclipse, Microsoft Visual Studio, and Apple Xcode. The deployment environment of the IDE is the personal computer or workstation—largely unchanged since its invention. This violates one of the key precepts of the early IDEs, where the development environment was the deployment environment. This precept served IDEs well, because, among other advantages, it minimized deployment bugs. However, in the new millennium, developers abandoned this principle: the deployment environment is the web and the Cloud, but the development environment remains the desktop.

Selected modern IDEs attempt to alleviate this problem using test web servers on the desktop for many platforms. In contrast, Lively is a web-deployed IDE for web applications, the first such environment— Smalltalk 76 for the web. Following in the tradition of Smalltalk, Lively does not distinguish between development environment, user display environment, or graphical subsystem. Objects typically have a graphical representation, known as a morph. Many actions, including connecting objects, can be realized with either a programmatic or iconic graphical action.

The repo rate hike would probably increase the price of residential rentals and could affect the consumer price index (CPI), FNB’s home loans department said on Thursday.

Property strategist John Loos said in a statement that the SA Reserve Bank’s decision to increase the repo rate to 5.5% would likely create greater demand for property rentals.

This was because people looking to buy property for the first time could delay purchasing until the interest rate hiking cycle appeared to be past.

In addition, more people were likely to sell their homes in order to downscale due to financial pressure. In both scenarios, people would be more likely to rent accommodation.

“This all leads to one likelihood… stronger growth in demand for rental properties,” Loos said.

The interest rate hike would likely further reduce the number of people buying property in order to rent it out, leading to slower growth in supply of rental properties.

According to the FNB estate agent survey, those buying properties in order to let, accounted for around 8% of total home buying, down from a quarter of the total buying market in the 2004 survey.

“The combination is likely to see higher rental inflation, just as we saw the last time interest rates peaked around 2008.”

Residential rental comprised 16.2% of the overall CPI, and therefore increased rental prices could in turn place additional upward pressure on CPI inflation and interest rates.

The impact could be contained, if food, oil and other CPI items remained relatively stable, but the prices for many such items were globally determined.

“Ultimately, if interest rate hiking goes far enough it will eventually dampen rental demand too, because tenants also have their financial limits and they also often have debt.”

On Wednesday, Sarb governor Gill Marcus announced that the repo rate increased by 50 basis points, from its previous level of five percent, and would take effect from January 30.

“The forecast average inflation rate for 2014 is 0.6 percentage points higher at 6.3%,” Marcus said.

The year-on-year inflation rate, as measured by the CPI for all urban areas, measured 5.3% and 5.4% in November and December last year. This resulted in an average annual inflation rate of 5.7% in 2013.

She said that the global financial crisis had moved into a new phase which was posing challenges to emerging market economies, including South Africa.


Kyudo, the Japanese art of archery | Sunday Observer

Kyudo, the Japanese art of archery

5 June, 2021

Kyudo, or the Way of the Bow, is the Japanese martial art of archery that puts more emphasis on art than martial. In Japan, Kyudo is a discipline and training in it is an exercise of the mind as well as the body. The sport has a rich history spanning centuries and has entrenched itself as part of Japanese tradition and culture. While originating solely within the borders of their island nation, Kyudo has since reached out to many parts of the world, becoming an international sport practiced by thousands of people globally.

While archery, the skill of using the bow to shoot arrows, dates back to prehistory and is pretty universal in all parts of the world, Japan’s unique kyujutsu, the precursor to Kyudo, can be traced as far back as its neolithic era, known as the Yayoi period. For a majority of its most developmental periods of history, Japan’s ruling system was governed by the military (Samurai), which increased the need for military education. This gave rise to several schools of martial arts, including the first official Kyujutsu school, the Henmi Ryu in the 12th century. The Genpei Civil War, which directly led to the establishment of the first military dictator, the Shogun, also further expanded the need for archers and the development of yabusame, mounted archery.

Matchlock firearms

After the 15th century rolled around and the Portuguese first reached the shores of Japan, matchlock firearms were introduced, swiftly outclassing the bow and kyujutsu. While most were still skeptical at the cost of producing even one Japanese matchlock, or tanegashima, compared to the bow, the daimyo and future shogun Oda Nobunaga armed his forces with as many as he could and with it, unified all of Japan under his rule.

Japan’s enthusiasm for guns that followed led to it being the world’s leading producer of firearms at the time. After the warring period passed, in the Edo period, guns fell into relative disuse while archery became a popular ceremonial pastime. With the introduction of Buddhism and the rising spirituality of the period, Kyudo was developed and popularised among those even beyond the warrior class. Today, it is even taught as an extracurricular sport at high schools.

Kyudo differs most obviously in the equipment they use. Japanese bows, or yumi, are massive at a standard height of two metres tall, surpassing the height of the archer themselves. Yumi are also asymmetrical in shape with the grip, or Nigiri being placed at two-thirds its length from the top. The traditional Yumi made of bamboo is relatively fragile and is prone to breaking even in the hands of an experienced Kyudoka, or Kyudo practitioner.

Most modern Yumi are made of sturdier materials and lacquered to withstand most climates. The arrows, or ya, are made into two types, both of which are shot in one demonstration of Kyudo. Haya, or the first arrow, spins clockwise and otoya, the second arrow spins counter clockwise. The alternate spin directions are to avoid collisions in mid air. The distinctive glove used by kyudoka to help draw the string, known as the yugake, alternates the number of fingers that are covered depending on the weight of the bow used.

Ultimately, however, the biggest difference between Kyudo and the general, more popular sport of archery is the purpose behind practicing it. While some schools do teach accuracy of the arrow hitting the target as the goal even in Kyudo, in most schools the ideology taught is “seisha seichū” or “correct shooting is correct hitting”. Whereas most forms of archery allow for flexibility as long as the arrow hits its mark, every part of Kyudo is deliberate and of utmost importance. And while it may seem like it values form above accuracy, the true idea is that with perfect form, perfect accuracy will also follow.
