SUPERTASKERS AND THE MULTITASKING BRAIN
Research has found that performance deteriorates when trying to focus on more than one task at a time. Studies show accident risk is higher when driving while using a cell phone than when intoxicated. A study revealed people take longer to switch between tasks when multitasking. However, some "supertaskers" appear able to perform cognitive feats of multitasking that were previously thought impossible, giving new insights into attention and how the brain manages multiple activities simultaneously.

Pastors face many challenges in ministry including meeting high expectations, dealing with conflict, financial instability due to frequent moves, difficulties forming deep relationships, and lack of participation from church members. To support pastors, churches should provide positive affirmation for their good work, respect boundaries for their personal time, supply resources to improve their ministry, get involved in church activities, and love the pastor's children unconditionally. Affirming pastors can help ensure they remain motivated in their important work.

This document discusses several genetic inheritance patterns beyond simple dominance and recessiveness:
1) Codominance - Both alleles contribute to the phenotype, such as a cow that is both red and white producing a roan coat color.
2) Multiple alleles - A single gene can have more than two alleles influencing a trait, such as four alleles determining rabbit coat color.
3) Sex linkage - Some traits are determined by genes on the X chromosome, making them more common in one sex, like color blindness being more prevalent in males.
Commas are used to separate elements in a sentence including independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions, items in a list, and adjectives of equal rank. Commas also set off nonessential elements and are used in dates, addresses, and introductory phrases. The document provides examples of proper comma usage in different contexts and cites references.

"A good character is, in all cases, the fruit of personal exertion. It is not inherited from
parents; it is not created by external advantages; it is no necessary appendage of birth,
wealth, talents, or station; but it is the result of one's own endeavors - the fruit and
reward of good principles manifested in a course of virtuous and honorable action." - -

Elizabeth Todd, a spokeswoman with the U.S. Department of Labor, said OSHA investigators went to the
site Monday and have opened an investigation, which will consist of interviewing workers and other
actions to determine whether violations of federal regulations occurred.
If investigators find a violation, which they must report within six months, the violator might be fined.
Todd declined to comment further, including identifying which construction company at the site is under
investigation.
Gregorio Casar, business liaison for the Austin-based Workers Defense Project, said that the complaint
he filed Monday is directed at JMEG, an electrical subcontractor. He said he filed the complaint on
behalf of the workers and said that they are being given inadequate breaks.
"The immediate goal is for this situation to be rectified," Casar said. "It makes no sense as to why this
high-end construction project ... is putting people's lives at risk."
JMEG's website says the company is "providing electrical construction services" at the track site. An
official with the company said he did not know anything about an investigation and directed a reporter
to call the site's general contractor, Austin Commercial. Officials with that company responded through
Loignon, who said "Austin Commercial has assured us that they are complying with the required break
structure for workers at the site."
OSHA probes bistro death
By Lauren Stanforth, Sunday, June 24, 2012 - - SCHENECTADY — The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration will investigate the death of Bangkok Bistro co-owner Israel Silva, whose head became
wedged in the mechanism of his restaurant's dumbwaiter early Saturday.
Schenectady Fire Chief Michael Della Rocco said his department and police evidence technicians took
witness statements and photographs at the scene in preparation for OSHA's investigation that likely will
start Monday. The dumbwaiter, or food service elevator, was used to hoist food from the restaurant's
kitchen in the basement to the dining room on the first floor of the 111-year-old building at 268 State St.
Della Rocco said Silva appeared to have had his head in the dumbwaiter shaft around 1:20 a.m. Saturday
because he was trying to repair it when the elevator suddenly became operational. Della Rocco said it
was unclear if someone had turned the elevator on. A flight to Albany Medical Center Hospital was
called off after it was determined Silva had died at the scene from head trauma.
While passenger and freight elevators must be inspected regularly under federal guidelines, Della Rocco
said he didn't know if the same was true for dumbwaiters, small elevators that were used decades ago
to quickly transport items from one floor to another. An online database maintained by OSHA shows
that such fatal accidents nationwide are rare. A search of the database showed that apparently only one
other person in the U.S. has died in a dumbwaiter accident since 2002. That incident occurred at a hotel
in Branson, Mo., in 2005 when an employee who was also trying to fix a dumbwaiter suffocated after
getting his head stuck in the mechanisms.

A note on the door of Bangkok Bistro Sunday said the restaurant will be closed indefinitely. Condolence
messages were left on the restaurant's Facebook page and two flowers were left on the bistro's
doorstep in honor of Silva, whose nickname was Bobby. "Rest in Peace Bobby," read one note left with a
red rose, "you will always be in our heart." People gathered Sunday at a family home in Niskayuna
declined to comment.

Worker recovering after 19-foot fall at Madison construction site
Friday, May 25, 2012/By SALLY CAPONE, Staff Writer - - MADISON - A 23-year-old worker at the
Walgreens construction site in Madison, who apparently slipped while working with a steel
beam and fell some 19 feet to the ground last Thursday, May 17, is home from the hospital,
said his employer, Jeffrey Vandermeyde, owner of Vandermeyde Welding-Iron Work Inc., based
in the Hewitt section of West Milford Township. “He’s doing well and recovering well,”
Vandermeyde said Monday.
The employee, Thomas Block of Sussex County, is recuperating from injuries suffered in the fall
following surgery at the Morristown Medical Center. Police said that at about 7:32 p.m. May 17,
police Detective Edward Mitchko and Patrolman Carmen DeCaro responded to the Walgreens
construction site on Main Street at Greenwood Avenue on a report of a construction accident.
Found Victim On Ground - - The officers found Block prostrate on the ground, bleeding and in
obvious pain. With the assistance of Patrolwoman Jenna Landrigan of the Morris Township
Police Department and the Madison Fire Department, Block was secured on a backboard and
transported to the Morristown Medical Center for treatment. Patrolwoman Landrigan was off-
duty at the time and happened to be jogging by the accident scene. Madison police said she
helped Mitchko and DeCaro stabilize the victim until the arrival of medical personnel.
The Madison Volunteer Ambulance Corps and paramedics from the Morristown Medical Center
responded to the scene and the victim was taken to the Morristown hospital. Construction at
the site, where the skeletal structure of the future Walgreens has been erected, halted after
the accident and is expected to resume this week, Vandermeyde said. The U.S. Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) confirmed Monday it had opened an investigation
into the fall.

What Safety Leaders Do – - The Insider’s Handbook for
Safety Leadership Tips, Tactics, Secrets & Ideas
Today there is a procedure for everything that is important. Yet,
more than 99% of groups fail to have a road map for safety
leadership. The reason is that leadership is different. While most
of those other procedures are ‘one size fits all,’ safety leadership
is not. Each team, work group, and company has a different
culture, history, exposures and corporate structure which means
there isn’t a cookie cutter mold to safety leadership. To be
successful, each organization must customize their program to fit
their unique organization. To effectively ‘customize’ your
company’s safety leadership program, you first need access to all
of the cutting edge leadership tactics, tips and secrets – - which is
exactly what this book provides! Then, you can pick the ideas that
are right for your group; putting proven methods to work for you
– - to get the results you have always aimed to achieve. 204

ISMA-Involved Safety Meeting Activity
Activity: Expect from Me, Expect From You
Estimated Time: 15 Minutes
Materials Needed: Dry Erase Board and markers.
Reference materials: See ISMA below:
The ISMA:
In a group discussion format generate discussion on the following question:
What is expected from management in order to succeed in safety?
Chances are, there will be a lot of good comments about what management needs to
do in order to achieve safety success. But, management is only part of the equation, so
challenge the group with the next question;
What do you have to do to be successful in safety, meaning, no injuries?
Our people know what to do so that they return home each night safe and whole. Once
this list is on the board, challenge them to begin today.
The Take-a-ways:
Our power to decide is not greater tomorrow than it is today! And, our workers know
what to do and when to do it. It’s the natural ‘human’ urge to make a job faster, more
convenient or quicker. It’s in this effort that we often cut a corner here and there.
Challenge your workers to begin acting and doing those specific items outlined in the
above activity. If they decide to act today, injuries will be a thing of the past!

Tools for Pros!
Do You Have Safety With-it-ness?
In the December 15, 2008 New Yorker, Malcolm Gladwell published an interesting article on education.
The article focused on how teachers are evaluated. The article is entitled, Most Likely to Succeed, How
Do We Hire When We Can’t Tell Who’s Right for the Job? introduces a concept called with-it-ness; and
asserts that today’s most gifted teachers have it!
Gladwell writes,
“Another educational researcher, Jacob Kounin, once did an analysis of “desist” events, in which
a teacher has to stop some kind of misbehavior." In one instance, “Mary leans toward the table
to her right and whispers to Jane. Both she and Jane giggle. The teacher says, ‘Mary and Jane,
stop that!’ ” That’s a desist event. But how a teacher desists—her tone of voice, her attitudes,
her choice of words—appears to make no difference at all in maintaining an orderly classroom.
How can that be? Kounin went back over the videotape and noticed that forty-five seconds
before Mary whispered to Jane, Lucy and John had started whispering. Then Robert had noticed
and joined in, making Jane giggle, whereupon Jane said something to John. Then Mary
whispered to Jane. It was a contagious chain of misbehavior, and what really was significant was
not how a teacher stopped the deviancy at the end of the chain but whether she was able to
stop the chain before it started. Kounin called that ability “with-it-ness.”
Gladwell, and researcher Jacob Kounin, simply define ‘with-it-ness’ as the ability to be proactive - - to
stop an event before it happens. And, they assert that with-it-ness, along with feedback, is the key trait
to teacher effectiveness. Safety with-it-ness, or our ability to be proactive or to stop an event before it
happens, is also the measure of safety effectiveness. So, the simple question is, do you have safety
with-it-ness? Here are three simple questions you should ask every day in order to have a high level of
safety with-it-ness.
First, what on this job can change my life forever? Having worked in the electric industry for nearly 20
years, I have had the misfortune to analyze dozens of electrical contacts and other serious incidents.
What is amazing about many of these tragic events is that on most of these jobs, the energy source was
the only hazard on the job that would change the workers life forever. And, it was the energy source
that went unguarded or that the worker didn’t take the appropriate action to protect himself against.
Before starting any job, ask a simple question; what on this job can change my life? You may find an
energy source, trench, fall exposure, vehicle traffic, etc. Usually however, there are only one to three
things on each job that are ‘major’ life changing hazards. Find them. Take proactive steps to control
them…work with safety with-it-ness.
Am I in a transition? Several years ago the quest to summit Mount Everest hit 1,000 official requests.
When reviewing those attempts, statistics show 200 of the 1,000 climbers perished. The interesting
thing for me is that of those 200 who died, 150, or 75%, died climbing down the mountain. One could
Matt Forck | www.safestrat.com | (573) 999-7981
Safety Strategies…for LIFE!
13. SMS-Powerful Information for a RESULTS driven safety culture! 13
argue that the focus and energy and planning was dedicated to reaching the summit and climbers lost
sight in transition, underestimating the focus and planning that phase of the climb demands.
Our jobs are often similar with transition situations often leading to incidents and injuries. Our
equivalent of descending the mountain might be when a construction job is finished and the only task is
cleaning up, or backfilling or climbing down off of a roof or elevation. Transition is simply the last task
before break or lunch. It might be the day before a long vacation. Having safety with-it-ness means we
actively look for transition situations knowing that there is added danger in these times. If you don’t
believe me, think about those 150 climbers. Jeff Evans, a man that has successfully climbed and
descended Mount Everest says it this way; “Reaching the summit is optional…Going home isn’t.”
What’s new? The Occupational Safety and Health Administration published the following on an OSHA
facts sheet, “Young workers, ages 14-24, are at risk of workplace injury because of their inexperience at
work and their physical, cognitive, and emotional developmental characteristics. They often hesitate to
ask questions and may fail to recognize workplace dangers. OSHA has made young workers a priority
within the agency and is committed to identifying ways to improve young worker safety and health.” In
other words, they are new, and because they are new, there is added risk of incident and injury.
But being new doesn’t just apply to young workers. Having an added risk of injury or incident applies to
new tools, new equipment, a more seasoned worker in a new job, etc. Safety with-it-ness means you
and your organization understand the added risk of ‘new’ and take pro-active steps to review and train.
This small amount of time making ‘new’ more comfortable and getting your workers more comfortable
with ‘new’ tools and equipment can save more time later…and can save lives.
In short, good teachers are able to stop events before they occur; and for us to make it through each
day safe, we need to employ that same skill set - - or as I like to say, we need safety with-it-ness!
