When a corporation or existing business creates a separate team (built from employees and / or contracted staff) to search for a repeatable and scalable business model.

In the same way a start up is these devisions are in a phase of development and research for markets.

This approach is rare as most companies tend to acquire existing assets in the market rather than build from scratch themselves.

A new form of lower leg exercise created by Ralph Drabble on accident. You need to have a table very close at hand to do this. While walking up to the table, you slightly bang your shin bone against it emitting a loud 'YEOOW!', then hopping back and massaging your shin and ankle. This is repeated several times to complete the set. Not only does it toughen the shin bones, it also makes the ankles more flexible.
Ralph: (he's walking into the room) Hey! Do you want to help me with my Shinups? I haven't done them in a while. My shins are getting so weak and I usually have tough shins, you know?!

Bryant: Sure! I know how. Just walk into the table and give your shin a gentle bang, right?

Ralph: Yeah, and then you MASSAGE (like he's drawing it out) your shin and ankle really good. And then you just do it again. It's easy!

June: (bangs her shin into the table) YEOOWW!! Like that?!

Ralph: Yeah, you've got it now. It might sting your ankles but it works wonders for weak shins!

Bryant: Sweet! (stubs toe on the table) YEOOWW!!

Ralph: (runs over and massages Bryant's shin for him) That's it. We should put these on video. Anyone could do it!

June: Neat, forget push ups! You want tough lower legs? Try Shinups! (slaps Bryant on the shin and gives Ralph a high five)

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
