Hummingbirds use their wings to generate rotational lift. They have a unique joint at the shoulder that lets them move their wings in a figure-eight motion providing power on the upstroke and downstroke.

Thanks. I had not seen his work. I'm now following him on Twitter.

He uses visualizations in his articles the same as I do. His focus is on business strategy which is why it would not come up in a search with "tutor mentor" as key words.

Here's a graphic from his article at https://medium.com/wardleymaps/i-wasnt-expecting-that-dcfe122a2234

I've used the #FigureEight loop in many of my articles that focus on service and learning. Here's one. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2021/11/creating-service-and-learning.html

I'm a sucker for "Schoolhouse Rock!". Grew up with it as part of a delicious breakfast. Tonight ABC airs a 50th Anniversary Singalong Celebration special like network specials of yore. Looks goofy as hell. But I'll add it to the YouTube TV library anyway. 📺 8/7c on ABC and Stream Next Day on Hulu.
