A fascinating 10-minute animated talk by Philip Zimbardo about the different "time zones" or "time perspectives" that people can have and how the different zones affect people's world views.
The six different time zones are: - Past positive: focus is on the "good old days", past successes, nostalgia, etc. - Past negative: focus on regret, failure, all the things that went wrong - Present hedonistic: living in the moment for pleasure and avoiding pain, seek novelty and sensation - Present fatalism: life is governed by outside forces, "it doesn't pay to plan" - Future: focus is on learning to work rather than play - Transcendental Future: life begins after the death of the mortal body Find out which time zone you're in by taking this survey.

Landfill Harmonic, a documentary on making music from trash (source: An upcoming documentary entitled Landfill Harmonic chronicles the work of Favio Chavez, who is using trash to inspire his local community in Cateura, Paraguay. The documentary follows Chavez, landfill technician and director of the appropriately named Recycled Orchestra, as he constructs musical instruments made of trash sourced directly from the landfill. He provides these instruments to local youth both to inspire them and to try to keep them out of gangs – an unfortunate and all-too-common fate for many in Cateura. At first, building the instruments was a difficult task for Chavez, a landfill technician with only basic carpentry skills.
Like Freshkills Park, Favio Chavez and his Recycled Orchestra are finding opportunities in what is, to many, simply a blighted landscape. Freshkills Park featured in the New York Times!
