I received a few rejection letters. I need to find new journals to submit the papers to. Just as a lot of researchers say, publishing in academic journals is challenging. Here is the link to an example from one researcher: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.chas.0c00111

Allstate requested information on my car accident and I provided it. (I now have a new claim number. The information provided will be processed under the new number.)

From my Twitter account:
The Bible is filled with stories of struggles. Just about everyone in the Holy Bible (e.g. Moses and Joseph) had a life filled with struggles and challenges. https://t.co/H1weGmdJtC

I am interested in why individuals choose to become specialists in their fields (independent contributor track) rather than a manager/leader and also why some may switch from the independent contractor track to the management track. I will look for prior research in this area.
I recently made a comment about this area in LinkedIn:
So far, I found one article on the shift from independent contributor to manager:

Some people may be surprised that I learned programming in high school (at President’s College in Guyana, a country in South America and member of the CARIbbean COMmunity). Computer Studies was one subject/course at the school. I had an expatriate teacher who was very knowledgeable. He taught us a lot. However, I found some of the classes to be boring. I actually fell asleep in some classes (partly because the classes were in the afternoon - after lunch). For the GCE examination, I completed a Pascal program to solve simultaneous equations. I chose that topic because I had recently learned to solve simultaneous equations in Math class. I worked really hard on that program. My teacher provided really good guidance. I remember the euphoria I experienced when I got the program to run/compile and work. I also recall the down feeling I experienced when a classmate asked what happens when a user enters an incorrect character/entry. I tried it and the program crashed. I then tried to make the program provide messages when that occurred.
My GCE O-Level certificate shows that I wrote the Computing Studies exam (and, of course, completed the required project). To see the certificate, click the statistics or economicsandIT label/tag.
I grew up liking grapefruit. There was a grapefruit tree in the backyard (of my childhood home) that provided lots of the fruit. I liked the yellow color of the skin. It was clear on the inside. I liked to cut the fruit in halves (across), sprinkle some sugar on each half and then eat (the pulp and juice) with a spoon. I know now that there is the risk of excess potassium from eating grapefruit. That would not deter me from eating the fruit or drinking grapefruit juice though.
Earlier today I mentioned the colored drinks I purchased at Starbucks (the pink drink and the green matcha tea). Talk of colors made me think of my Sunny & Bright Pinterest board/category that features foods and other things that are yellow. The yellow foods include a lemon loaf (which is incidentally a Starbucks copycat), a yellow smoothie, saffron rice, mango ice cream, pineapple and more. The link to the board is: https://www.pinterest.com/fahmeenaodetta/sunny-bright/
The board includes a few photos showing sunny and bright places. One of those places is the Starbucks in Gainesville, Florida. I took the photo showing bright light streaming in. I completed quite a few assignments in that Starbucks.
I suspected that matcha provides many health benefits. I learned from a recent article that it provides benefits such as protection of the brain and fighting off infections. The benefits are way more than I expected! This recent article from Women's Health provides details:

I learned of matcha from YouTuber Mike Chen. I saw him go for matcha several times on one of his channels (I believe it was Strictly Dumpling). I get matcha from Starbucks. It has a "different" (maybe unusual) taste. I like that it is green. Isn't it interesting that I get colored drinks from Starbucks - the pink drink and the green matcha? I will get matcha when I visit Starbucks again.
While working on a paper for publishing on online communities, it occurred to me that the shepherding program described in one of the included articles is a lot like the pastorial system I experienced at President's College. A look at how that program was run and its success would make a great paper for publishing. Excerpts from the paper I am working on are included below.

I fell which led to the emergency room at Doctors Community Hospital.
I also received a text from Allstate about my insurance claim.
I received a rejection letter from a journal. I then forwarded applicable information to a new journal.

Some things at President’s College were very elite. For example, we were taught to ride horses by trained “professionals.” We used bed linens/sheets made from custom-designed fabric that identified the school. Some things were “on a lower level.” We sometimes fetched buckets of water. My bucket was larger than a regular bucket so I would have more water for bathing or other activities.
I am still working on updating my hand hygiene (electronic monitoring) paper for publication. I have passed the half way point. In the paper, I consider previous research that utilize both qualitative and quantitative designs, similar to another paper I prepared.
