OG INSPIRATION

By: Odell Glenn
  • Summary

  • To inspire, motivate, empower, enrich the lives of others through education, career planning, from my own experiences, non-profit organizations, various authors, faith-based communities, coaches, entrepreneurs, professionals, and small business owners. The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience, to turn obstacles into opportunities to the utmost and to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences. ”We have an innovative God and He is constantly challenging us to reflect His glory, to utilize the characteristics He has given each of us to move forward toward righteousness, and we must often be innovative in that task.”

  • Novel Demonstration Kits for Fundamental Mechanical Engineering Concepts
    Jan 24 2023
    The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of South Carolina offers academic programs and research opportunities in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, and nuclear engineering led by experienced faculty. USC-ME is a Tier 1 research department, ranked #31 nationally and #1 in the state by the National Research Council. The Mechanical Engineering Department at UofSC is among the front-runners in innovation and technology and boasts one of the largest mechanical engineering programs in South Carolina. With approximately 900 undergraduate students, 180 graduate students and 34 full-time faculty, 5 full-time instructors, and 11 staff members, the department provides world-class, diverse, interdisciplinary, and cutting-edge engineering education to our students. High-quality engineering education is a key activity conducted within the Mechanical Engineering Department at UofSC across a range of courses ranging from introductory general engineering skills to highly specialized cutting-edge concepts. It is critical that students are well-educated in the fundamental concepts of general and mechanical engineering so that they can be developed into competent, successful engineers to make meaningful contributions to the engineering community. Mechanical engineering students, Annsley Gray, Michele Lunga, Matt Moore, and Evan Watson under the direction of the course instructor, Dr. Joshua Gray, corporate sponsor, Dr. Subramani Sockalingam, and faculty advisor, Dr. Odell Glenn, created a project entitled "Novel Demonstration Kits for Fundamental Mechanical Engineering Concepts" aimed to create a learning environment that would prove successful for students attempting to pass two historically rigid classes in the mechanical engineering department to further their degree achievement. The senior design team developed in-class demonstration kits incorporating novel approaches on the following key concepts related to EMCH 200, Statics and EMCH 260, Solid Mechanics: Force and moment equilibrium, Moment of inertia, Friction, Stress-strain, Mohr’s circle, Beam bending, Torsion, and Material failure. The team engaged in weekly meetings with the project sponsor and faculty mentor, market research, as well as interaction with students in these courses. Product Specifications were established through discussion and student testimonials during EMCH 200 classes and Supplemental instruction sessions. Ensuring that these needs are met will guarantee the project sponsor and their goal of consumer satisfaction. The three design concepts were #1, "The Length Game Design". Students will use the torque along the length of a wrench (also known as the moment arm) to find the force exerted on the wrench. The mechanical engineering students constructed the wrench from pre-manufactured ratchets.  The topics covered in this game are torque, mechanical advantage, and moment. Three topics for which concepts have been considered difficult for students to initially grasp. The 2nd design concept entitled "Seasaw Demonstration"  Moments and equilibrium design concepts were implemented here. Students used a 3D-printed design with premanufactured weights. In this design, students are given an unknown weight and a known length ratio for each side. They will then use the force balance equation to determine the weight needed on the other side to balance the seesaw.   Design #3 was entitled "3D Vector Plot Diagram". Visualizing 3-D can be very difficult for students to grasp especially in freshman and sophomore-level courses. Here students use strings on a smaller-scaled 3-D cube to simulate the x, y, and z-axis. The goal is to get students to visualize 3-D components. All 3 of these designs have been developed and are ready to be implemented in classrooms for trial testing. Annsley Gray is a senior mechanical engineering student having internship experience in manufacturing settings with reliability engineering and will be working at Sylvamo Paper Mill as a reliability engineer post-graduation. Michele Lunga, also, our team leader and coordinator, has an eye for detail and organization. She plans to continue with manufacturing and design after graduation. Matt Moore is a senior mechanical engineering student who plans to pursue a career in the aerospace or automotive field, as well as pursue music on the side. Evan Watson is a senior mechanical engineering student and has a strong interest in hands-on engineering and problem-solving. Each of these students will graduate in either Fall of 2022 or the Spring of  2023. I have had the distinct pleasure of instructing these students during the rigor of Engineering Statics, Engineering Solids, Engineering Dynamics, Engineering Lab II, and Fluid Mechanics as well as their present advisor for the final Senior Design. To witness the year-long final assessment and implementation of rigorous coursework in a design project from these students was nothing less than amazing.

  • GodSpeed with Daniel--Daniel Krynzel
    Jan 10 2023

    In 2008 the real estate crash took Daniel out and he lost everything. He turned to drink and had nothing. He lost the house the cars, the toys, the money, and worst of all...custody of his children. After he got sober he started back into the business. He jumped back into the mortgage business and had massive financial success. Searching for his purpose, he then became a Coach, where he trained Realtors on lead gen and sales. And yet even after he had achieved all his goals and had all of the money he wanted (he had the house, the cars, the toys, the family life) he was still unfulfilled. He felt empty. This is when God stepped in...he told Daniel that his purpose was much bigger than what we were doing and that if he had the courage to listen to his direct guidance, he would be massively emotionally fulfilled and finally be living his true calling. This is where Godspeed with Daniel and this powerful App that connects people and puts people in direct conversation with God, called The God Walk App, was born. Now he lives a life of true fulfillment, a life most men could only dream of, not only having the money, the body, and health, the love of his life but also waking up every day talking with God and living his true purpose making a massive impact on the World.

  • Dr Rosemary Downer- Child Psychologist / Christian author
    Sep 14 2022

    Dr. Rosemary Downer earned her doctorate degree in child psychology from The University of Maryland College Park in 1997. She served at The U.S. Department of Agriculture as a social science researcher for 20 years and as an adjunct professor at Bowie State University for 24 years. She is now retired from both positions and is currently a private consultant doing research and evaluation and also doing what she dreamed of doing for years, and that is to write nonfiction books to edify the body of Christ.

    Today, Dr. Rosemary Downer writes nonfiction Christian books both to challenge and inspire the body of Christ. She is a published author of The High Call of Forgiveness, It's A Mandate, The Self-Scarred Church, The COVID-19 Test: Church or God? Religion or Relationship? and several parenting handbooks. Additionally, she is the author of a comprehensive ministry development course--Find and Occupy Your Place and the Continuum of Care Youth Ministry Development Handbook. Dr. Rosemarie Downer is also the founder and former president of 15 years of BRYDGES (Building Responsible Youth by Delivering Genuine Enrichment Services)

    Dr. Rosemarie Downer is a dedicated follower of Christ who aspires to having the closest relationship with Christ possible. Her service in the body of Christ primarily involves teaching and preaching. She also spent well over 30 years serving in youth ministries. Other focus areas in her ministry include women and single adults. As well, she often ministers on issues that address emotional healing and well-being. She counts every opportunity to minister an ultimate privilege from God the Father and does not take it lightly.

    ​The pivotal scripture verse for her ministry is 3 John 2 – “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” Her most favorite Bible verse is Philippians 1:6: “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Her favorite Bible character is Moses because he had the relationship with Abba Father that she so very deeply desires. Moses was able to talk to God the Father face-to-face and without riddle because of the close relationship he had with Him. That is her desire!  One can contact Dr. Rosemarie Downer through her website at https://www.booksbyrosemarie.com and purchase her books through Amazon.
