Bill McCormick "This is a tone reel for my novel, The Brittle Riders. Tone reels are industry oriented shorts
that use footage from other sources to create a single feel, or tone, so that investors and others will grasp
what we’re trying to create. And, let’s be honest, The Brittle Riders is not easy to match with anything out
there. I began to understand how hard it would be when the third company that does these things turned
me down. Oh, sure, they wished me luck too, but they still turned me down.
Freddy Noriega, of Fredits.net, not only accepted, he nailed it.

Dean Lesner "... I've been chipping away at a TV series pilot script off and on in my spare time for a
few years. Whenever I have 10 15 minutes worth of content, I create a storyboard as a PowerPoint
presentation, insert some of my own acoustic guitar music, and generate a YouTube-ready video.
Admittedly a low-budget approach, but I suspect it will work well if I'm pitching the story to a studio.
It's also easy to translate the captions into other languages. That's important to me because I think
the series is more likely to appeal to an audience in South Korea.
Wishing you best of success in your effort. Link " (FB)

Visual Basic on YouTube." (FB)

Lee Webster "In the past several years, I have embarked on a journey to explore the rich customs and
traditions of diverse cultures worldwide. From attending events featuring tribes and indigenous communities
in Panama City, Indonesia, and the Maori community of New Zealand, I witnessed their traditional
presentations firsthand. Along my journey, I had the privilege of visiting renowned landmarks.
I marveled at the architectural marvels of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia,
experienced the grandeur of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and witnessed the regal charm of Buckingham
Palace in London, England/UK. The Sistine Chapel and Vatican City in Rome, Niagara Falls in Canada,
the Azores of Portugal, the Alaska Yukon Route, the Grand Ole Opry in Tennessee, Pearl Harbor, and the
captivating Hawaiian Volcano in Hawaii are among the other extraordinary places I have been fortunate
to experience. I recently updated the BNG website to include an expanded list of member authors. By
showcasing their talents and achievements, we aim to provide recognition and support within our
community. https://bngbrainstorming.wordpress.com/.../09/bng-authors/ " (FB/LN)

Whitney Rix Victory II "I am working on the closing of a MIT trained AI group, I myself was directly
connected to the late Dr. David Waltz and had Minsky's neurology notes at roughly the same time,
Vanessa Waltz was my business partner. So, I'm a young 1st Generation in modern AI. Would anyone
want tips, to learn or learn models, like the Ethical Business Integrity Module? A little primer:
Note: This is an educational model, be it in a school or corporation setting.
Predecessor work: A New Model of Integrity: An Actionable Pathway to Trust, Productivity and Value
(PDF File of Keynote Slides)
My thinking is to benefit others using AI for good, showing them how to avoid data corruption,
protect those using 5G slicing for telemedicine and other sensitive technologies." (FB)

Justin Lancaster "I pulled some all-nighters to pull this off.
Who knew I was a Data Scientist?
I was about 6 weeks into this course when I realized my Ph.D. training and experience had prepared me
well as a data scientist. Learning how to apply Rapid Miner and other No Code tools was powerful.
Also useful to get an updated deep dive in 2023 AI/ML methods." (FB)
