Bloc-notes | Arts plastiques Licorice Pizza: A Toot and a Snore A Toot and a Snore I’ve got something a little different today. Something you can’t just push play on, and walk away while it hums in the background. Myself, I had to put on headphones and give this a careful listen. The John Lennon / Paul McCartney boot A Toot and a Snore in ‘74 has something of an infamous reputation. I’m going to turn the mic over to Wikipedia at this point for a description of what A Toot and a Snore is all about: A Toot and a Snore in '74 is a rare bootleg album of the final recording session in which John Lennon and Paul McCartney played together, which gained wider prominence when McCartney made reference to the session in a 1997 interview. For the most part, Lennon is on lead with his guitar, while McCartney sings harmony and plays drums. Bootleg Zone has an excellent transcript of the recordings if you care to follow along. The entire recording is about half an hour.

Canal-U - Accueil Documentary Heaven :: Food For Your Brain | Free Online Document Everyone Sits in the Prison of His Own Ideas - TNW Entrepreneur “Everyone sits in the prison of his own ideas. A human being is a part of the whole called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” – Albert Einstein There are several ways to build a succesful company. Apple doesn’t do market research, or so they say. When Jeff Hawkins was developing the first PalmPilot he walked around with a wooden prototype in his back pocket. Chad Hurley and Steve Chen built YouTube because they needed an easier way to share videos with their friends. You’re already locked up in the prison of your own ideas.

King Tubby KING TUBBY - Explosive Dub O engenheiro de som King Tubby (Osbourne Ruddock) começou a carreira fazendo as misturas no gravador de 2 pistas de Sir Coxsone Dodd. Gravava as vozes numa pista, e os instrumentais na outra. O produtor Bunny Lee foi quem inaugurou, mais tarde, o hábito de colocar no lado B dos singles a versão, inundando o som (a maneira de King Tubby) com muitas massas e ecos de ressonância.A maior parte dos proprietários dos velhos sound-systems continuaram em Kingston, conseguindo superar, com maior ou menor dificuldade, os períodos de confrontos políticos, de menores vendas de discos, ou interdição de bailes.

Veille documentaire AM&AA Members Group News "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." — John Quincy Adams I’ve created a leadership checklist that should act like a hub and spoke of effective leadership practices. The challenge is distilling effective leadership practices into one-liner reminders that are easy to evaluate the behavior, where possible. I used a specific “user story” format (“As a leader, I …”) to both make each line item a standalone story, but also to test these as personal “unit tests” for leadership. It’s a work in progress. Top 10 Leadership Checks As a leader, I seek first to understand, and I listen to people until they feel heard (empathic listening.) Core Checks As a leader, I am a self-starter and I take the initiative. Action As a leader, I ask, "What do we want to accomplish?" Change As a leader, I anticipate and prepare for changes. Communication As a leader, I challenge ideas while respecting other opinions. Decisions and Choice Problem Solving
