Learning Challenge: The Happiness Jar

This week I am starting the Happiness Jar Challenge in the Learning by Heart challenge list.  For this assignment,  I created a "Happiness Jar" assistant for my phone and laptop, so I can just add the happiest moment of a day into it as it happens, and keep a constantly updating list as to what was my happiest moment of that day.  Next week I will report on the results and give a few examples of the happiness moments in my life

    This sounds like a really cool challenge, I think I may partake in this on my own as well. I think that reflecting on the bright moments throughout the week helps giveperspective on if you are utilizing your time in the right way for you. By that I mean, if you can not seem to find the happiest moments of your week, then you are probably not spending your time in the right ways. This challenge would be a great way keep yourself in check in that regard. I personally try to reflect one my week, both thegood and bad parts, at the end of every week.

Introduction to a UAS Pilot and Aerospace Engineer

Hello all, I am John-Paul Burke, a Aerospace Engineering Graduate student at the University of Oklahoma and Research Assistant for Dr. Andrea L'Afflitto at the University of Oklahoma's Advanced Dynamics Laboratory.  My hobbies and work overlap, with most of my current projects being the design, testing, coding, and flying of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) also known as drones.  Personally, I own 3 different UAS models, and enjoy flying them whenever possible.  As an FAA licensed UAS pilot, the ability to fly and allow others to experience the joy of piloting is amazing, because seeing the excitement on others faces when they fly (and crash) a UAS for the first time is infectious.  Below are several of my videos taken of or by my drones, with an apology in advance for the quality of the one taken by the drone, due to the UAS being a restoration project and so the camera is not quite up to full quality yet.  Restored Parrot Drone First Flight Test, personal v...

Week 10 Story: Into the Arena

Image
"Arjuna! Arjuna! Arjuna!" the chants from the crowd resounding throughout the arena.  Arjuna smiled slightly, then loosed another flurry of arrows, dropping all the targets released.  During each shot, the only thing he remembered was his trainer Drona's advice, "See only the head, not the body."  Eager to show even greater prowess, he hopped on his horse and galloped throughout the arena, hitting target after target without fail, prompting even more cheers from the crowd.  Finally, the time came for the greatest exhibition, and an iron boar was loosed into the arena.  To any witness, the next five arrows that Arjuna released were faster than the wind itself, and all hit the boar straight in the mouth, as if they were but a single arrow.  The boar dropped dead, and the arena rang with the mightiest cheers anyone present had ever heard. Arena, from  pinterest As Arjuna reveled in his glory, not all were pleased for the great prince.  Duryodh...
