How Do You Treat Others? Take A Different Strategy For Different Results By Bryan Golden June 23, 2022 Share How do you treat other people? Are you ever condescending or rude? Do you feel some people are more important than others? Do you think that a person's Education, Occupation and Economic Status determine their significance? Perhaps you take the opposite tact. Do you treat everyone as being important? Do you feel a person's worth is intrinsic and independent of their Job, Wealth or Social Status? Are you polite and considerate? The manner in which you treat others has a direct bearing on how they respond to and treat you. As the opening quote so aptly states, people tend to meet your expectations. Of course, this doesn't happen 100 Percent of the time, but it does hold true in many circumstances. Suppose you bought a vacuum cleaner and it stopped working 10 days after the Store's Return Period had ended? Aggravated, you rush back to return it. As you approach William, a customer service associate, you are annoyed and expect to be told that there is nothing the Store can do for you. Being ready for a fight, you snap at William as soon as he asks how he can help you. William spends his day facing upset and irate customers. Now he has to deal with you. Do you think William will go out of his way to help you out? Probably not. What if you take a different strategy? Granted, you are upset that the vacuum cleaner broke and you realize that technically the Store doesn't have to help you. But you also understand that there is always latitude in spite of Formal Return Policies. Walking up to William you have a smile and the attitude that you know William will be able to help you resolve your problem. You treat William with respect and ask for his assistance. This strategy will give you a much better chance for a satisfactory resolution of your problem. People do indeed react to how you treat them. They will subconsciously adjust their performance to meet your expectations. Expect little and you'll get less. Let someone know that you believe in them, their capabilities and potential and you will get more than you anticipated. It's difficult, if not impossible, to force a person to behave in a particular fashion. Even in situations where you may wield power over someone via employment or other circumstances, coerced cooperation will lead to resentment and an unstable relationship at best. At times, you have to treat people in a way that is the opposite of how they are acting. This is often difficult to do. It's a real challenge to treat someone well when they are treating you poorly. Although treating them as poorly as they are treating you may be tempting, the chances of you reaching your objective are close to zero. Usually, the only thing that will happen is having the situation deteriorate further. Treating someone well who is treating you poorly doesn't necessarily guarantee success, but it does give you the best chance of a positive solution. In these cases, treating someone well requires a lot of patience, persistence and perseverance. Treat people as you want them to act. Let others know you recognize their potential and believe in their capabilities. Do these things and you will be pleased with the results. Bryan is the Author of "Dare to Live Without Limits."

Driving Assistance Technology: Nearly 250,000 Deaths Could Be Prevented Over The Next 30 Years September 7, 2023 Share Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are the eyes and ears of your car. They use sensors and cameras to detect Potential Hazards, warn drivers, and can take corrective action automatically. These Safety Systems are common on new vehicles, and have the potential to save lives by preventing crashes – but how many? New research by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety estimates that available ADAS Technologies could prevent approximately 37 million crashes, 14 million injuries, and nearly 250,000 deaths over the next 30 years. This would represent 16% of crashes and injuries and 22% of deaths that would otherwise occur on U.S. roads without these technologies. Click to view the report summary. “The findings from this latest study on the AAA Foundation’s work in emerging technologies suggest that ADAS have the potential to transform Road Safety,” said Dr. David Yang, President and Executive Director of the AAA Foundation. “However, the full Safety Benefits of ADAS will not be realized unless they are fully understood by the consumer, used properly, and widely adopted.” The future Safety Benefits of ADAS could be larger or smaller, depending on many factors, including the rates of consumer uptake, use, and the future development of these Technologies, as well as many other factors. But Technology limitations still exist, and while ADAS may save 250,000 lives over the next 30 years, nearly 900,000 lives will be lost on our roads if current trends continue. So how do these systems work? Here are a few of the most common ADAS features: Forward Collision Warning: Detects a Potential Collision with a vehicle ahead and alerts the driver. Some systems also provide alerts for pedestrians or other objects. Adaptive Cruise Control: Cruise Control that also assists with acceleration and braking to maintain a driver-selected gap to the vehicle in front. Some systems can come to a stop and continue, while others cannot. Automatic Emergency Braking: Detects Potential Collisions with a vehicle ahead, provides forward Collision warning, and automatically brakes to avoid a Collision or lessen the severity of impact. Some systems also detect pedestrians or other objects. Lane Departure Warning: Monitors vehicle’s position within the driving lane and alerts the driver as the vehicle approaches or crosses lane markers. Lane Keeping Assistance: Provides steering support to assist the driver in keeping the vehicle in the lane. The system reacts only when the vehicle approaches or crosses a lane line or road edge. Blind Spot Monitoring: Detects vehicles in the blind spot while driving and notifies the driver of their presence. Some systems provide an additional warning if the driver activates the turn signal. Unlike full automation, which is not yet commercially available, ADAS works to form a vehicle’s “safety net.” The study found that the Safety Benefits of ADAS will vary depending on the type of system and how it is used. Last year, AAA Engineers examined Automatic Emergency Braking Systems, which effectively prevent rear-end crashes but also when encountering bicyclists or vehicles crossing paths. “While these systems can be helpful for drivers, they are not perfect. So it’s important that drivers be aware of their vehicle’s limitations and remain fully engaged while behind the wheel,” said Mark Jenkins, Spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. According to recent Foundation research featuring Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), drivers may initially lack the appropriate knowledge to use it properly. This can lead to misuse or mistrust, especially in situations beyond the system’s capability (i.e., edge cases). But with time and exposure to various edge-case events, drivers may better understand and use ACC more effectively. The Foundation’s research reinforces the importance of the Safe System Approach (SSA). It’s a strategic way of leveraging the engineering and behavioral countermeasures proven effective at preventing Traffic crashes and the injuries that can result from them. “The future for ADAS is bright, but it’s not a cure-all,” said Jake Nelson, AAA’s Director of Traffic Safety Advocacy. “While these Technologies offer substantial Safety Benefits, we cannot engineer our way out of traffic injuries and deaths on U.S. roads. Investments in a diversity of proven Traffic Safety measures, including but not limited to vehicle Technology, is in order.” AAA urges automakers to adopt a standard naming convention for vehicle Technology to ensure drivers understand the capabilities of catchy, marketing-driven branded names for popular systems.

“Lost To The Future” - Global Search Narrows For Missing Gibson ES-345 Cherry Red Guitar Played By Michael J. Fox From The Original Film South Florida Sun Times Nov 12, 2025 In One Of The Most Iconic Scenes In Film History, A Gibson ES-345™ Cherry Red Guitar Took Center Stage In The Film Back To The Future—And Today, It’s Making History Again. To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the beloved Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment film starring Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, and in honor of October 21 —officially recognized as Back to the Future Day—Gibson, the legendary global instrument brand, in partnership with Universal Products and Experiences proudly announces the Back to the Future Collection. Featuring limited-edition ES-345 models from Gibson Custom and Epiphone, as well as an exclusive apparel line, the Back to the Future Collection is designed to thrill both guitar enthusiasts and fans of the iconic film. Music and film fans can stop by the Gibson Garage Nashville and London locations to see the entire Back to the Future Collection in person, and worldwide via: www.Gibson.com . This summer, Gibson and Michael J. Fox launched a global “Lost to the Future” search for the original Gibson ES-345™ Cherry Red guitar played by Fox in Back to the Future during the unforgettable “Enchantment Under the Sea” dance scene—a moment that inspired generations of musicians after Marty McFly’s electrifying performance of Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode.” Despite efforts to find the guitar during the filming of the sequel, the guitar’s whereabouts remained a mystery. Fans worldwide have been submitting tips at: www.LostToTheFuture.com, and after thousands of submissions, Gibson has narrowed the search and is actively pursuing a handful of promising leads to locate and authenticate what may be the most significant guitar in movie history. “Bringing this guitar to life has been a passion project for many years, and it’s incredibly exciting to finally see it become a reality,” says Mark Agnesi, Director of Brand Experience at Gibson. “We couldn’t be prouder of how these guitars turned out—they’re truly special. This is the guitar that inspired me, and countless others from my generation, to pick up playing in the first place.” The Back to the Future 1955 ES-345™ Collector’s Edition from Gibson Custom is limited to just 88 guitars worldwide, a nod to The Time Machine from the film, and features a stunning Cherry Red finish with exclusive design details. The Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345, limited to 1,985 guitars globally, celebrates the year the blockbuster film hit theaters and offers fans an accessible way to own a piece of cinematic and musical history. In addition to the guitars, there’s also an exclusive range of Back to the Future apparel and accessories, including tees, hats, collectible guitar pick tins, a guitar strap, and an AXE HEAVEN® mini guitar that will delight collectors and fans alike. Although the movie’s high school dance takes place in 1955, the guitar used was a Gibson ES-345™, a model originally introduced in 1959. Supplied by Norman Harris of Norman’s Rare Guitars, the Cherry Red ES-345™ visual appeal and sonic presence made it a perfect fit for the film’s “Enchantment Under the Sea” scene. The Back to the Future 1955 ES-345™ Collector’s Edition—a masterfully crafted homage to the guitar that bridged generations. Built with a thinline, three-ply ES™ body of maple-poplar-maple and a solid maple centerblock for enhanced sustain and reduced feedback, this instrument is as sonically rich as it is visually striking. The mahogany neck, joined with hide glue and featuring a long tenon, sports a 1961 Authentic Thin D-Shape profile and a bound rosewood fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets. True to the original guitar’s rare design, it includes a single parallelogram inlay at the 12th fret—a detail unique to the original guitar that was used in the Back to the Future film. Equipped with a pair of unpotted Gibson Custombucker pickups featuring alnico 3 magnets, the guitar offers a wide tonal palette. Each pickup is hand-wired to individual volume and tone controls using CTS® potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors. A mono Varitone switch adds further tonal flexibility, while aged gold hardware and a Bigsby® B7 vibrato tailpiece complete the upscale ES-345™ aesthetic. The Murphy Lab’s expert aging process gives the guitar a beautifully worn-in look, honoring both the legacy of Gibson’s craftsmanship and the cinematic moment that made this model iconic. Limited to only 88 pieces—a nod to the film’s time-traveling speed—the Collector’s Edition is handcrafted by the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee. Every detail, from the reverse-engineered 1950s specs to the and-stained Cherry Red finish, has been meticulously recreated. Each guitar comes housed in a Lifton hardshell case adorned with Marvin Berry and The Starlighters graphics, along with a curated selection of case candy, making this a truly timeless collector’s piece. The new Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345™ is a replica of the legendary Gibson ES-345™ based on the model that Michael J. Fox aka Marty McFly plays in the film Back to the Future. A loving tribute to this cultural icon, the Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345™ features a five-ply layered maple semi-hollowbody with a solid maple centerblock for enhanced sustain and improved feedback resistance. The top has four-ply binding with single-ply binding on the back. The mahogany neck has a comfortable rounded C profile and is topped with a single-ply bound rosewood fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and is adorned with pearloid split parallelogram inlays that are a hallmark of the ES-345™. The 60s Kalamazoo headstock is equipped with a Graph Tech® nut and Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines with cream Keystone buttons. The Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown are inlaid in mother of pearl. On the back of the headstock, in a nod to the 1985 film, you’ll find a Hill Valley Music store decal. The Back to the Future ES-345™ has gold hardware, including an Epiphone LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and a Bigsby® B70 vibrato tailpiece, and just like the guitar in the movie, the original Stop Bar studs are left in place. The Back to the Future ES-345™ is powered by two of Epiphone’s acclaimed Alnico Classic PRO™ pickups, each with individual volume and tone controls. A mono Varitone provides even more tonal versatility. It even comes packed in a vintage-style hardshell case with Marvin Berry and the Starlighters graphics. The Epiphone Back to the Future ES-345™ is limited to only 1985 units worldwide, and they’re sure to go fast, so unless you have a flux capacitor-equipped Time Machine so that you can go back in time to get one later, you’d better grab yours now while you still can. Back to the Future Apparel Collection Launching alongside the Epiphone and Custom Shop ES-345™ guitars, Gibson’s apparel division will release a collection of exclusive, film-inspired merchandise. Ranging from AXE Heaven mini ES-345™ Cherry Red guitars to guitar pick tins, straps, T-shirts, and hats inspired by the film, the Back to the Future collection promises to be an exciting addition to any fans collection. About Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment’s Back to the Future: Released 40 years ago on July 3, 1985, Back to the Future introduced audiences to Marty McFly (Emmy and Golden Globe winner Michael J. Fox), a small-town California teenager who is accidentally transported back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean invented by his eccentric friend, Doc Brown (Emmy winner Christopher Lloyd). Stranded in the past, Marty must ensure his teenage parents (Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover) fall in love or risk erasing his own existence. With time running out, he teams up with a younger Doc in a last-ditch effort to harness a bolt of lightning and return to 1985. The film became the highest-grossing domestic release of 1985 and one of the most enduring movies of the decade, earning more than $385 million worldwide. It received four Academy Award® nominations, including Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound, Best Sound Effects Editing and Best Original Song for Huey Lewis and the News’ “The Power of Love.” The film won Best Sound Effects Editing.
