A Crash Course on Creativity

With the power to cross borders and languages, music serves as a compelling tool for unlocking creative potential. Creativity: Music to My Ears is a six week course designed to explore several factors that stimulate creativity in individuals, teams, and organizations. In each session we will focus on a different variable related to creativity, such as reframing problems, connecting and combining ideas, and challenging assumptions. All of the projects in this experiential course will deal with some aspect of music, including listening, creating, and sharing. No musical talent is required - just an interest in exploring the role that music plays in our lives. To deepen your understanding of music, throughout the course we will include video clips from experts in the music industry, including world-renowned Warner Music recording artists, Stanford music scholars, and industry executives who work to bring new and innovative musical expression to a global audience. « Less

pour appliquer By James M. Lang For two years I taught in a special program in which the same cohort of students took two consecutive courses with me: freshman composition in the fall and introduction to literature in the spring. In the composition courses, I worked hard to help students move beyond the standard strategies they had learned in high school for writing introductory paragraphs: Start with a broad statement about life ("Since the beginning of time, people have been fighting wars ...") and narrow down to a specific topic. In both years that I taught the two-course sequence, I was startled to see many students come back from winter break and—on their very first papers in the spring class—revert directly back to those tired strategies that I had worked so hard to help them unlearn in the fall. One such student came into my office early in the spring semester to show me a draft of her paper, and it included a lame reverse-pyramid (i.e., general to specific) introduction.

Instead of going the traditional way and sticking to pencil and paper, you should explore the arena of computer aided drawing. Chances are you do not have software installation privileges on the work computer you use therefore online tools would be the best way to go. Below you will find my gathered list of 15 online tools for sketching and drawing.

Războiul împotriva conştiinţei „Am fost supuşi unei intense programări – care a fost denumită ‚războiul împotriva drogurilor’ – în ultimii 40 de ani, destinată creării artificiale a unui inamic intern în societăţile noastre şi convingerii omenirii că există aceste grupări rele, nelegiuite, care nu se ocupă decât cu aceste lucruri teribile şi păcătoase, fumând tot felul de droguri şi făcând una sau alta. A fost creată o imagine foarte întunecată, în jurul acestui subiect şi oamenii devin foarte iraţionali când este abordată această problemă. Şi, de fapt, ceea ce s-a uitat, în toate acestea, este realitatea că statul ne trimite la închisoare pentru ceea ce este, în esenţă, explorarea propriei conştiinţe. Este un abuz grotesc la adresa drepturilor umane. Este fundamental eronat dacă eu, ca adult, nu deţin suveranitatea asupra propriei mele conştiinţe şi, atunci, nu o deţin asupra nimic altceva. Graham Hancock

TZM Response To ‘Kony 2012′ Campaign Recently, a viral phenomenon flared up as a result of a video campaign entitled ‘Kony 2012′, which encourages the viewer to become passionate about chasing down a man named Joseph Kony, who is apparently involved in gang warfare, rape, severe child abuse, slavery, murder and the like in Uganda and it’s neighbouring countries. This is obviously extremely inhumane and abhorrent behaviour to say the least. The methods in which the film presents the problem are very emotive, and judging by the public response, appears very effective on pulling on the viewer’s heartstrings. The suggested method of then bringing KONY to “justice” is a mass publicity campaign and hence political pressure plus funding to the affiliated organisations, via military intervention. So essentially the solution is to catch the “Bad Guy” and therefore this behaviour we want to see eradicated will no longer exist.

SushiBot Serves Up An Order Of 3,600 Per Hour The SushiBot moulds rice mounds by the thousands so sushi chefs don't have to. Talk about “fast food,” a Japanese company just unveiled its SushiBot at the World Food and Beverage Expo in Tokyo. The countertop-sized robot makes the chef’s job easier by balling rice up into the small elongated mounds upon which fish and other ingredients are placed. At 3,600 mounds of rice per hour, it’ll be all the chef can do to keep up. The rice formations are taken from a large inner bowl with care so that not even a single grain of rice is damaged, according to Takeshi Kawamata, a representative of SushiBot maker Suzumo.
