The Closet Pitch
Yes! Clean out that storage closet once and for all. I just helped a client do this, and I want to share a few things that might be useful for the closet you have been ignoring... and the skeletons inside.

My client had recently moved, and didn't have time to purge or organize before transitioning from old place to new. As a result, her storage closet was riddled with random items (because it had a door to close and hide it all behind). Sound familiar? Well, it happens all the time. Time to reclaim your space!
1 - Items that are not working in the new (or current) space. This is often a frustrating endeavor, but it's time to realize that even alternative facts won't make your drawer organizers from your last residence fit your new space, and those pictures that looked great on your former living room wall don't catch the light in the same way in your new (or now) house. Yet, these items get tucked away in the storage closet in hopes you will find someone to give it to or eventually sell it. A big crutch in the letting go process is the "waiting to give it to someone who will need it" crutch. We always want to help someone out (or in some cases, pass the obligation of the item onto someone else), but then the unwanted item ends up chewing up valuable real estate in your space for way too long. So go ahead, give yourself permission. Donate it. And those things that need to be returned that didn't work for the new space that got shoved in the storage closet to collect dust and be forgotten? Put them in your car with the receipt and make sure it gets returned before it's too late. Or donate them.
4 - The bag of bags, or should I say the whole closet, considering how they seem to fill up space like some magic growing jello. Like many people, my client was keeping every bag that was ever given to her, and all the ones she paid for like the ones from Ikea, etc. We looked through them all, and kept a select few that were in good shape. We used some to bag donation items, and, get ready, donated the rest.How many shopping bags does one household need? If you go shopping and use about 5 recycled bags, then keep that amount in your car, and get rid of the remainder. Rest assured, more reusable bags will come into your life; someone is always giving away a free bag. Oh! And if you get paper and plastic bags every time you go to the grocer's and keep them for trash, then take one bag and fill it up with other bags; whatever doesn't fit in that one bag, you recycle. You will keep getting more every time you go shopping; have faith that you will not run out.
By focusing on items in these 4 piles, and not worrying about the organizing part yet, we saw a huge difference in reclaimed closet space. My client even had drawers in the closet that (I didn't know she had) she could never get to, now ready to be filled with items worthy of storing.
Dolores Wilk with Central Arkansas Pride said the Travelers tried to offer an alternate option that included Central Arkansas Pride picking another person to throw the first pitch. Wilk said that was not a decision they were going to make.
\"In 2022 we can't move forward as planned with an event that's meant to celebrate diversity,\" Baker said. \"There are still a lot of people who live their life in the closet whether that is because of societal pressures, maybe its family issues or at work.\"
The more focused and specific your idea, the better (and always include a few examples of what you would write about!). So, think on how you can turn an idea into a really great pitch that will get accepted even faster. For example:
Your elevator pitch is your quick, personal selling statement. It can be used when riding in an elevator with the person next to you, when meeting employers at career fairs, and as the foundation for cover letters and email introductions.
Please help us refine this process by following the guidelines below, and being patient while we work through the pitches. Unfortunately, our small team is only able accept a small amount of the submissions received, so the best way to ensure publication is to follow these guidelines.
Listed below are the Semifinalists of the Spring 2023 ScreenCraft Virtual Pitch. These exceptional pitches were selected from almost 1,000 submissions. Congratulations to these writers who have made it this far and thanks to all for submitting!
The entrepreneurs would spend fifty-four hours over a weekend refining their idea in order to pitch it to investors by the last day. Opening pitches were limited to 1 minute and final pitches to judges were 5 minutes. Out of that experience he said was the need to create a tool that would help others perfect their pitch and be able to give all their important key points about an idea within a strict timeframe. Hence, Pitcherific was born!
Lauge and his innovative team developed Pitcherific which is a free online tool that allows users to create, train, and improve their pitch. Take some time and check it out! The tool is easy to use with three simple steps: 1. set a template and time 2. write the pitch 3. practice.
Close-Tell about the status and your next. Depending on your goal for pitching in the first place (e.g. a contact or a meeting), ask the person you are pitching to about it and tell what it will mean to you, to get it.
Third place went to Breena Hansen, a business administration student from St. Norbert. Her pitch was for Clean Comfort Food Delivery, a business that would prepare and deliver healthy meals to clients. She won $5,000, plus in-kind services.
What we got to see of the pitch did not seem bad; we were not, of course, privy to the info they handed over to the investor team after they finished. The Browns gave their different points-of-view; Janelle was awesome, in particular. Kody is really a great pitch-man; perhaps an infomercial is in his future. But, they could not avoid the question: Where has all of the fabulous marketing plan gone? After all, with 15 million hitting their site in a single month and only 500 resulting sales, it seems a stretch to be asking for $2.5 million. And, as behind-the-scenes camera comments revealed, the investors were not convinced.
Sitting in a dark theater, the audience waits in suspense. Then the red curtains are pulled back, the stage glows beneath the shining lights, and the music begins. It echoes off the walls and out into the halls, growing to a beautiful fever pitch.
With statcast data available in spring training ballparks, we can access pitch-level data from the good folks at baseball savant. God bless them. There are a few metrics that measure what I would consider pitcher mechanics and here they are:
Scherzer shows a little tighter spread between all of his pitches and lacks the clear outliers showcased by Rodriguez. The more interesting part to me is that the pitches get closer together from game one to game two. Could that mean anything? Could he be getting ramped up and more consistent, more repeatable?
Now the ultimate question in baseball analytics, how can we actually use this to win? I believe checking in on pitcher components throughout the season may be able to help us identify fatigued players who need rest in order to get their components back into a form that is more in line with areas of succes. This would require measuring the game by game spread or variation of the points. If that number is larger, is that a measurement of inconsistency? If it is lower, does it correlate with success? This analysis really brings up more questions than it answers, as per usual:
As of now, Warner Bros.' plans for Superman movies on the big screen are not clear, as the character remains in a creative limbo. Following a report from late last year that the studio was eyeing Jordan to possibly play Superman, a new report from Variety states the Creed star met with the studio earlier this year to pitch his vision for the potential movie, so the desire to cast Jordan as the character seems to be mutual.
After Christopher Reeve famously played Clark Kent in a series of four Superman movies, the DC superhero has had some trouble finding his footing with his modern movie releases. Brandon Routh took over the role for the 2006 movie Superman Returns before Henry Cavill came on board as Kal-El for the unconnected 2013 movie Man of Steel. Cavill would go on to reprise the role in the crossover movies Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, though he hasn't had any solo sequels. Last year, it was reported Cavill was done playing the character, but more recently, the actor teased his time as the Man of Steel isn't over, saying in an interview that the "cape is in the closet." 041b061a72
