From time to time, I get thank you letters from Sumeru authors. Here's the latest...

"I’ve said it before, but I will say it again. Thank you. This has been the most productive and enjoyable process with a publisher I have ever encountered. I truly appreciate your dedication and also your openness to engage, discuss, suggest, and listen." John W. Traphagan, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Religious Studies, Professor, Human Dimensions of Organizations, Fellow, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Professorship in Japanese Studies, University of Texas at Austin

His book, Embracing Uncertainty: Future Jazz, That 13th Century Buddhist Monk, and the Invention of Cultures is due out in a few weeks.

Last year I developed an online Specialist High Skills Major certification course for high school students to learn about Project Management. The material was commissioned by the Ontario Council for Technology Education, for use by the Ontario Ministry of Education across the province. This is some feedback I received today from OCTE about my work: "This year the project management certification in YRDSB alone had 452 students complete their certification. It was the most completed elective certification. This speaks volumes about the content that you developed." I'd be interested to know how many students across the province completed the certification. In any event, I'm very happy to have been able to impart some important skills to a lot of young people!
