Jillian Pransky Mindplay to Expand Love in Your Life Friendship is as important to our health as getting enough sleep, eating well, and exercising. In this talk Jillian Pransky tells us that this is old news. 2,500-years ago Metta meditation was presented as a path to befriend our selves and develop a greater capacity to connect deeply with others – in the playground of our mind. Combining Metta with yoga practices will melt tension, release stagnant energy, and train the mind to be more spacious and present. About Jillian Pransky I’ve lived that magic of when you truly are doing exactly as you should be…and doing it with your whole heart. Jillian Pransky is an international presenter, National Director of Restorative Therapeutic Yoga Teacher Training for Yoga Works and co-founder of the Bright Spirit Yoga Teacher Training. As a student of Buddhist Nun Pema Chodron since 1998, Jillian’s yoga is infused with Mindfulness practices, steadfastness and ease.

Solo Exhibition by the New York Artist Liam Everett at Paul Kasmin Gallery Project Space NEW YORK, NY.-Paul Kasmin Gallery Project space, in collaboration with Romer Young Gallery, San Francisco, present a solo exhibition by the New York artist Liam Everett. Everett’s installation Cura consists of a recent group of paintings, which the artist refers to as the “eclipse paintings.” Working with acrylic, salt and alcohol, Everett’s paintings both “record and arrest a seemingly alchemical process” and reflect his continued exploration of the perceptual experience. Focusing on the motion of light and its inherent ambiguity as an entity tied, inseparably, to our temporal reality, Everett establishes an immediate, hyper-present relationship with the now. Working with a spare palette of whites, grays and blacks, with hints of underlying color, Everett’s paintings exist at the interstice between deliberate and provisional - at once form-full and formless, finished and unfinished. LIAM EVERETT currently lives and works in San Francisco.

How to Create Content that Lasts Be the First to Write on the Topic! Google generally respects the "first-mover advantage." In fact, in its patent application for its search engine algorithm, Google states that the age of a webpage can be used as a factor in determining ranking. In other words, all else being equal, an older webpage is likely to get better ranking than a newer one. This is why it's often futile to try to create a webpage on a certain topic that addresses the exact same points in the same way as a webpage that was published earlier (but, of course, if the newer one has details that the older one lacks, then there is an opportunity for traffic). How do you capture the first-mover advantage for your Hubs? How Do You Become a First Mover? Do you know a specific topic that has only just begun to be discussed or explored on currently-available webpages? Any of these scenarios would suggest topics that are ripe for an informative, engaging Hub on them now. Write About What You Know!

Is Psychology Missing the Play Revolution? What do gardening, spoken word, video games, engineering, running, making beer, talking to strangers, going to the theatre, fixing bikes, dealing with trauma, and drumming have in common? All were topics at TEDxNavesink-PLAY, a day-long event at the Two River Theater in Red Bank, New Jersey on May 10 2014. Yes, play. For me—a developmental psychologist concerned with the power of play throughout the life span—this was a conference-goer’s dream. Peter Gray spoke on the decline of play and the rise of mental disorders. These and other presentations illustrated one of the themes of my own talk, “Play Helps Us Grow at Any Age.” When babies and their caregivers play, they 1. go beyond themselves by doing things without knowing how (for example, they carry on conversations even though the baby don’t yet know how to speak) 2. relate to not only as who the baby is right then, but also as who s/he is becoming (for example, a speaker)— at the very same time Open yourself up to play.
