The 42 Degrees Company is an international independent company, set up in early 2017 by private investors for the development of nutritious, ready-to-go self-heating drinks.
Its goal is to provide solutions and relief for the growing number of emergencies around the world such as natural disasters, humanitarian crises and conflict.
Our Mission: To offer people hot drinks anywhere, anytime.
An international company whose headquarters and production centre are located in Valladolid, Spain.
In early 2017, our group acquired a factory located in Valladolid, Spain, with the aim of supporting and supplying humanitarian organisations and people in need. The factory was originally established in 2005, and the purchase included the patent, technology and production facilities of self-heating cans of beverages and liquid foods.
After significant investment in the production facilities, improving the quality and safety processes, we have started producing assorted beverages including coffee, chocolate, chai latte and others. We are also able to produce soups and liquid foods on demand.
Our products are aimed at people in need and those who do not have access to hot and nutritious food with the energy they require, as well as people on the move who want to enjoy a hot drink and its benefits. Three minutes is all it takes to have a hot drink, no matter if the people are in an area hit by a natural disaster, in a war zone, on a train, on a mountaintop or anywhere in between.
We are committed to being an innovative, altruistic and green company. We work with humanitarian and civil organisations, and we adhere to The United Nations Global Compact as “participants”. Additionally, our factory is designed to reduce emissions and our cans are recyclable and produced keeping the environment in mind.
The factory has top-of-the-line equipment, and each can is very safe and easy to use. We work internationally with top suppliers to ensure that our products are of the best quality, are healthy and that everyone who enjoys our products is always satisfied.
The self-heating can is patented, and we are certified and meet all international standards, requirements and certifications, including religious dietary guidelines. Our shareholders have international experience and a long history in the food and beverage industry, ensuring that each product is of the highest quality.
The 42 Degrees company was founded to offer solutions for first aid and relief in situations where providing hot drinks would be almost impossible without our patented self-heating can technology.
The 42 Degrees company is a participant of the United Nations Global Compact, and abides by the agreement’s 10 principles regarding Human Rights, Labour, the Environment and Anti-Corruption. Click on the logo to learn more about the Global Compact.
The 42 Degrees company is a certified partner of associations working for the disabled, as part of its outstanding Corporate Social Responsibility policy.

The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office says Wednesday afternoon's officer-involved shooting in the Eden Isles area remains under investigation, and a 16-year-old faces attempted first degree murder charges.
"St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s detectives were canvassing the area attempting to develop leads and further information following several recent vehicle burglaries and auto thefts that have occurred in and around the subdivision, when they observed a Dodge Charger driving suspiciously on Moonraker Drive," according to the sheriff's department's news release.
"Detectives ran the vehicle’s license plate and discovered the vehicle had been reported stolen out of New Orleans. They then attempted to initiate a traffic stop on the stolen vehicle; however, the vehicle fled and a pursuit ensued."
Officials say several units were damaged in the pursuit.
"As deputies attempted to stop the Dodge Charger, the suspect vehicle accelerated towards a deputy who had exited his vehicle. At this time, the deputy fired his service weapon in the direction of the vehicle, striking a passenger," according to the sheriff's office.
That passenger, 17-year-old Kendrick Neveaux of New Orleans, was taken to a local hospital. The driver, a 16-year-old from Marrero, and a 15-year-old from New Orleans were taken into custody and later arrested.
All face charges of felony possession of stolen property, simple marijuana possession, possession of a stolen firearm, and conspiracy to commit theft of a motor vehicle. The 16-year-old faces an attempted first degree murder charge and Neveaux was also charged with contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.

THE NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLERDr. Kai-Fu Lee—one of the world’s most respected experts on AI and China—reveals that China has suddenly caught up to the US at an astonishingly rapid and unexpected pace. In AI Superpowers, Kai-fu Lee argues powerfully that because of these unprecedented developments in AI, dramatic changes will be happening much sooner than many of us expected. Indeed, as the US-Sino AI competition begins to heat up, Lee urges the US and China to both accept and to embrace the great responsibilities that come with significant technological power. Most experts already say that AI will have a devastating impact on blue-collar jobs. But Lee predicts that Chinese and American AI will have a strong impact on white-collar jobs as well. Is universal basic income the solution? In Lee’s opinion, probably not. But he provides a clear description of which jobs will be affected and how soon, which jobs can be enhanced with AI, and most importantly, how we can provide solutions to some of the most profound changes in human history that are coming soon.

After so many blog posts in which we’ve covered all kinds of various legal topics and tips, we thought it’s high time you got to know something about us, too.
So here it goes: who we are, what we do, and why we do what we do.
We are a London-based legal tech startup founded in December 2014. In a nutshell, we help businesses, entrepreneurs and individuals to find the brightest and most qualified lawyers for their particular need. And when it comes to solving problems, we like to cut to the chase.
We started our business because we think the process of finding the best legal assistance should be much quicker and simpler than it currently is. Why sift through endless yellow pages listings and mixed reviews on the Internet, if you can get your hands on a free online base of tailor-made recommendations for experienced lawyers – exactly those that would be just right for your particular case?
Ok, but how does the Linkilaw process work, exactly?
As our customer, you first (1) fill out a form in which you state your case. Tell us exactly what is your legal problem or dilemma – full confidentiality guaranteed. By doing so, you then (2) immediately get access to a free online marketplace with quotes and information about the pre-vetted, licensed and verified solicitors specializing in the legal area that’s relevant to your situation. You’ll (3) receive hand-picked recommendations with quotes included from our expert legal community. Have a look at the proposed profiles, and when you find a lawyer that you think would be the right pick for you, (4) contact him or her for an informal chat – no commitments or strings attached. If it turns out that it’s not the best match, no problem! Just contact another of the lawyers recommended to you. You’re free to choose until you find the very right fit – no compromise on quality, ever, and no paying for things you don’t need or want.
We like efficiency, so we have even come up with an acronym for our three fundamental company values: HIT. Honesty, integrity, and transparency. These are so close to our heart because they embody the reasons why we had started Linkilaw in the first place. Namely, due to a lack of honesty and transparency, the process of hiring a lawyer is often very non transparent. Our mission is to fight against such harmful malpractices. Our values are not hollow platitudes we put up merely for show, but something we actually live and breathe.
Another quality we have ingrained in our company philosophy and culture is open and sincere communication: among the staff, Linkilawyers, and naturally, clients. This is because we pay special attention to outstanding customer care and going that extra mile in order to give our clients the service they deserve.
And lastly, we are also firm believers in continuous and constant learning, hard work and excellence that we apply both to our own company and those professionals we recommend through our marketplace. We don’t like to waste our clients’ time and money, which is why we put so much focus on recommending only the best lawyers – not just overall best, but most knowledgeable and experienced in the particular area of your legal issue.
But enough talking for now, allow us to prove we mean what we say. If there’s a cloud of legal dilemma on your mind, get in touch and contact us for a free quote. Thanks to our fantastic team of lawyers, we’ll make your problem go away as quick and convenient as possible.

WATCH ABOVE: Former Edmonton Eskimos CEO Len Rhodes is running for the UCP in the upcoming spring election.
The sudden departure of former Edmonton Eskimos president and CEO Len Rhodes appears to make more sense now — he is entering politics.
Rhodes has been appointed as the candidate for the United Conservative Party in the new Edmonton-Meadows constituency.
According to Elections Alberta, he registered on Thursday. Rhodes said he had been thinking about getting into politics for “some time,” but was waiting for what he said was the right party under the right leadership.
“My contract with the Edmonton Eskimos was going to be expiring at the end of 2019, and when I had expressed that it wasn’t going to renew, it accelerated the date to where I could depart,” Rhodes said.
Three other people — Joel Mullan, Arundeep Singh Sandhu and Sant Sharma — have been vying for the nomination for months, but at a news conference Thursday, the party said they had appointed Rhodes.
Party leader Jason Kenney said there is a party rule allowing him to appoint up to four candidates so high-profile people can run. Kenney said Rhodes was not able to mount a nomination campaign due to his commitment to the Eskimos.
“Len has an impressive track record as a chief executive officer of several major employers, most recently of the Edmonton Eskimos, capped off by his chairmanship of the successful 2018 Grey Cup Festival,” Kenney said, also citing Rhodes’s experience with the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce.
The provincial election is expected to take place some time this spring. The writ has yet to be dropped.
Rhodes announced on Feb. 11 that he was leaving the Eskimos organization. At the time, he said he wasn’t sure yet what his next opportunity would be, but did say that he hoped it would keep him in Edmonton.
His last day with the football club was this Wednesday.
“In the time that I’ve been privileged to call Edmonton home, I have grown to love this community and its people, and it’s this love that has called me to public service,” Rhodes said.
Edmonton-Meadows is the new name of the Edmonton-Mill Creek constituency with the boundaries slightly redrawn.
This riding is in southeast Edmonton, encompassing the east side of Mill Woods, along with other neighbourhoods to the east, all the way to Anthony Henday Drive.
The seat is currently held by New Democrat Denise Woollard.

I make the coffee and listen to the idle talk that floats above the din of the dishwasher, and the register, and the bell above the door.
I know I'm not invited.
"Would you like a large or a small?," I ask.
They sip their coffee and plan their day, and what they will say to their daughter, and "Do you want to go?," and "Why don't we do this more often?".
Anything is possible at this moment and the world is so simple. Just a cup of coffee in this cafe.
And then they drain their paper cups and gather the loose bits of trash scattered on the table. A guilty look passes between them. Chairs scrape the floor as they slowly rise and fish absently for their car keys. They have appointments to keep and places to go.
They throw it all into the rubbish basket. The cover swings closed with a bang.
The bell above the door jingles softly on their way out and the door closes behind them.
The silence is deafening. I make another pot of coffee and the dishwasher drones on.

An increasing number of students are returning to school after the winter break with shiny new mobile devices in hand. This excites me as I rely entirely on my students devices and a BYOD policy to integrate technology into my classroom. That said, I’ve trained lots of teachers who are hesitant to embrace mobile devices. Many teachers fear that allowing students to use their devices in class will only distract them and compromise the learning environment. My experience has been the exact opposite. Allowing students to use their devices in the classroom has been absolutely transformative!
When class begins, my students know they need to put their devices volume off and screen down in the corner of their desks. When it’s time to use their devices, I simply say “screens up” and they know they can use their devices.
If you treat your students’ devices as learning tools, the perception of them in the classroom also changes. Students begin to recognize the value of their devices for research and exploration. They shift from potential distractions to tools that engage.
When students are taking a quiz or exam, use a phone cubby to neatly store their devices. I bought this Christmas ornament organizer and used that to create my phone cubby. Students know they must put anything with a screen in the cubby during testing.
“What if every student doesn’t have a device?” My answer, “They can share.” If you create a culture of sharing in your class, then using devices encourages collaboration. It does not create a huge divide between the haves and have nots as many teachers fear. In fact, I prefer the energy in the room when multiple students share devices. They lean in, they ask questions, and they have conversations.
I’ve got go-to apps I use with students all the time. I encourage students with devices to download different apps to use both inside and outside of the classroom. Using a variety of apps with students cultivates technology fluency. Students begin to understand how to leverage apps for learning. Over time, they develop the ability to evaluate a situation and select the best app or tech tool to a given task.
Over the course of the next few weeks, I will be sharing my favorite apps with ideas for how teachers can use them with students!
If you have tips for managing mobile devices, please share them.
AWESOME!! I want to know everything! Definitely want to impliment it in our classes this year. Thank you for sharing.
I am sharing your post with our teachers. Hopefully your tips will alleviate some of their concerns about BYOD. Great ideas!
I like the term “screens up”. Establishing classroom protocols and language is so important in any case. Thanks for this tip. I also like your use of an ornament box. I have tried a basket, and students panicked because they couldn’t find their phones quickly.
I have had students use mobile devices for Today’s Meet and found success, which I wrote about in a recent blog post (http://kdesjadon.blogspot.com/).
I’ve transformed some of my assessment pieces (tests in physics class) to be application based enough that the students may use their devices and the internet and any of their notes to answer the questions. I’ve loved it so far! In “real life” assessments, students are usually allowed tools. Why not use this as an opportunity to ask more engaging and applicable questions?
I’m glad to hear this approach has been well received by students. Real life challenges make so much sense.
I have always been NO PHONES in class…well I can see it coming, and there’s a change on the way. I can’t fight it anymore. We have a no electronic devices during the class time policy, which I can see as a “fight the battles you can win” type of thing. I can’t win this one, so it’s time to use them to my advantage during class. The times they are a changing!!!
Nice share!! it’s important to create a learning environment by implementing technology, that’s how students & teachers can leverage a common platform for sharing information, though managing these devices is an utmost requirement which can be achieved setting the devices in kiosk mode and allowing only required apps, websites and content to be accessed.

World-renowned architects are just as deserving of museums shows as some of history’s greatest painters. Last year, New York’s Museum of Modern Art hosted a Frank Lloyd Wright exhibition marking the 150th anniversary of the late architect’s birth, while most recently, Paris’ Pompidou Center opened a major retrospective honoring the work of Japanese architect, Tadao Ando.
Tucked away in the center of Milan lies a 20th century architectural marvel that goes by the name Villa Necchi Campiglio. The Necchi Campiglio family, members of Milan’s wealthy industrial elite of the 1930s, commissioned leading Italian architect Piero Portaluppi to design this utterly stylish safe haven to distance themselves from the traditions of everyday life.
In 1977 Ian Schrager and Steve Rubell opened Studio 54, a nightclub in an abandoned CBS television studio on west 54th Street in Manhattan’s Theater District. In just six weeks and with no liquor license, the duo revolutionized New York City nightlife, making Studio 54 an overnight sensation and the most popular late night destination in the entire world.
I went up to San Francisco last week and saw the luxuriously spacious Vija Celmins exhibition curated by Gary Garrels. Celmins, an acclaimed Latvian-American artist, came to LA in the mid-1960s and worked in Venice Beach, making surreal paintings, drawings and sculptures that are at once elegantly understated and maniacally intense.
10, FEELS LIKE 2, featuring the work of New York-based contemporary artist Adam McEwen, is the latest site-specific exhibition commissioned by the Lever House Art Collection. The show’s immersive installation plays off the landmark structure’s iconic architecture – for which the Lever House Collection is named – and the sleek materiality of the building’s lobby-turned-gallery space.
Is there an art to good design? The Museum of Modern Art’s latest exhibition entitled 'The Value of Good Design', certainly suggests there to be, arguing that while utility and aesthetics are not generally unanimous, at the highest level of design we oftentimes expect them to be.

Excellent, this agent is a true professional. I have sold many properties and never had the service that this agent gave.
A vendor was selling a 4 bedroom House and found Cheryl via OpenAgent to sell her property.
We can highly recommend this agent and Paradise Property as an agent that works for you and does so in an ethical and friendly manner. I bought our last house through her and have now sold a house. Both were well-managed and communication was fantastic. Advice was always happily given on house presentation, the best way to sell in our local area and ways to deal with unexpected situations during the buying and sell process.
This is a review a vendor left on Cheryl through the OpenAgent site.
This agent is an excellent agent, very professional yet friendly and easy to converse with. She is honest and tells it like it is, not like other agents I have dealt with. My property was sold on the first open house for the price I asked. I highly recommend this agent to any sellers or buyers.
This agent is a fantastic agent and really knows what she is doing. We first purchased our house through this agent and knew as soon as we decided to sell we were going to have her as our agent. This agent’s attention to detail, advise and ongoing support is fantastic. Throughout the sale process, we where kept up to date and always had a open stream of communication. I will be recommending anyone who is looking to see to contact this agent.
Cheryl Paradise has sold 15 properties in the last year. They’ve recently sold properties in Parkinson, Calamvale, Algester, Drewvale, Sunnybank Hills.
A recent sale was a 4 bedroom house at 54 Kakadu Street, Parkinson. Their highest sale in the last 12 months was a 4 bedroom house in Parkinson for $1,269,999.
Cheryl Paradisewill get back to you shortly.
What can Cheryl Paradise help you with?

Marques Houston stars in Battlefield America, written by Chris Stokes who brought you You Got Served.
This time around Houston plays Sean Lewis a successful business man/marketing agent who is about to become partner until he is unexpectedly detoured with community serves.
There he meets Sarah Miller [Mekia Cox] who runs a community center for troubled youth. Marques’ character, Sean is a successful, cocky yet charismatic me type of guy who is forced to teach a bunch of disheveled misfits he dubs as Bad Boy, but the boys and Sean clash. However, Houston’s character finds a way to get along with the “Bad Boys.” He helps them learn to tighten up their dance skills to compete in Battlefield America.
Marques explains to CelebNMusic247 how he was amazed by the kids who were actually in it, battling it out in the film.
Houston chopped it up with CelebNMusic247 telling us how Chris Stokes wanted to explore the world of dance in Marques Houston Is Ready To “Battlefield,” by taking a different approach. This time around instead of doing a movie about adults competing, Houston explains how the movie focusing on 8 to 12 years old kids who actually compete in the Long Beach area.
We here at CelebNMusic247 have to say the movie is entertaining and the dance sequences are filmed great. Stokes uses his signature techniques [the camera shaking] to give viewers the feeling of being in the scene. He has a great approach when filming the actual action, being an action fan.
Marques and I had a great time talking as he explains how they found real kids who were actually battling and could act.
When CNM247 asked him about the evolution of Dance since his days in his early days in the group Immature, Marques explains that dance has truly evolved and has really become whole other thing since his days in the beginning. [Listen to the full interview to hear Marques’ full answer].
Check the interview to get all the details with Marques Houston and what he told CMN247 about Battlefield America.
FYI: For you Marques Houston fans, he revealed exclusively to us that he is working on a new solo album due out in 2013.

A nor’easter was no impediment for the 2nd Annual Saturday Summit on Social Justice, which, despite the wind and rain throughout the day, saw more than 100 students in attendance at The Masters School's campus.
The Saturday Summit on Social Justice (SSSJ), which was co-hosted by The Masters School and Rye Country Day School on Saturday, October 27, is a full-day conference that gives local independent school students, faculty and administrators the opportunity to come together to explore and examine the important roles that diversity, equity and inclusion, and social justice play both in and outside of our school communities.
“I think it’s important for us to be together in this space and to feel safe together, even if you’re not a minority, to be an ally and let others know that you’re not alone in whatever you are going through,” said Youssef Aly ’19, a summit participant. Beyond sharing about their own experiences, participants came away from the summit with a better understanding of different issues and how those issues impact their peers. Ella Paolucci, a student at Masters’ CITYterm semester program, was interested to learn about how the practices of institutional and individual racism influence each other, and how individuals were impacted by institutions that are racially biased.
“The topics that we discuss are sorely needed,” noted Ali Morgan, Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Rye Country Day School. Morgan emphasized that it is important “to have a full Saturday to spend time together, to learn, grow and connect.” With each student coming into the day with a unique, individual perspective and background, there were many opportunities for the students to listen and learn from each other.
Another highlight, said Brown, was a presentation by The Defamation Experience, a nationally acclaimed three-phase interactive diversity event in which the audience engages in civil discourse that challenges preconceived notions. The summit closed with a pizza dinner and dance, and parents were invited to participate in the final session of the evening.
For those who are interested in attending in a future summit, Brown confirmed that there are plans to have a Saturday Summit on Social Justice in the fall of 2019.

Today, the former president and foreign minister, Lennart Meri, would’ve celebrated his 90th birthday; a Statesman with a capital S, he’s one of the founding fathers of the Estonian post-occupation success story, and one of the politicians in Estonia that everybody truly respected.
My best friend celebrates his birthday on 29 March, the same day Lennart Meri was born. And on many occasions, when I call him on his birthday, I don’t say “happy birthday”. I say, “Happy Lennart Meri’s birthday”. That is the degree of respect we, the people whose formative years were during Meri’s presidency, have for him. One can’t have that degree of respect unless one’s a true mensch (Yiddish for “a person of integrity and honour”).
In 1996, I sent the newly re-elected president Meri a congratulatory email. I sent it to the official email address of the president, truly expecting him never to see it. A day later, a reply came from lmeri@vpk.ee – the personal email address of the president. “Thank you so much for your good wishes,” it read. The man must’ve got thousands of emails every hour. And he took the time out of his schedule to actually write back to a young fan he didn’t know, because he cared enough.
Having returned from Finland on the evening of 23 August 1991 to what was now the independent Republic of Estonia, foreign minister Lennart Meri is attending a press conference at the ministry of foreign affairs on Toompea Hill with Toivo Klaar and Tiit Pruuli. Photo by Peeter Langovits, from the archive of the foreign ministry.
Yes, I am biased. I honestly admit I loved and admired the man. But so did hundreds of thousands of people in Estonia – and abroad. Perhaps to this day, Lennart Meri remains the most liked, the most respected politicians that post-occupation Estonia (and maybe the pre-occupation one, too) has ever had.
Another aspect to Meri’s popularity was that he wasn’t a typical politician. He wasn’t constrained by party lines because he didn’t belong to one. He served as foreign minister in the government of Edgar Savisaar, the now-former leader of the centre-left Centre Party. But when he was elected president, he was the favoured candidate of the centre-right Pro Patria Alliance. He had broad support from both left and right-leaning people because he wasn’t a traditional politician.
Most of his life, Lennart Meri was a writer and a filmmaker. He travelled extensively, and during the Soviet occupation, also beyond the Iron Curtain, and thanks to his diplomat father (Georg Meri was a diplomat in Estonia before the Soviet occupation), he had been educated abroad. He had studied in nine different schools in four different languages, and he was fluent in Estonian, English, German, Finnish and Russian. Already during the Soviet occupation, Meri attended the University of Tartu and got a degree in history. Unfortunately, due to the Soviet politics, he was unable to work as a historian, so he turned to arts to earn his living.

In 1958, Meri published his first book, titled “Tracing Cobras and Karakurts”. It was a travel book about his trip to Central Asia. But he’s probably most famous for “Silver White”, in which Meri contemplated, using both science and fantasy, over the past of Estonians and other Baltic Sea nations. Many think that “Silver White” is one of the most masterful disquisitions about the past of Estonians.
Lennart Meri, the politician, started to develop after he was finally allowed to travel beyond the Iron Curtain in the late 1970s. He started to establish close relations with politicians, journalists and Estonian expats and worked tirelessly to remind the free world of the existence of Estonia, and the fact that it was occupied by the Soviet Union.
“I knew Lennart Meri from 1985. The beginning was very typical Lennart Meri-like, because I was in Finland, in Turku, and then someone set up a meeting between us in July of 1985. I drove from Turku to Helsinki or Espoo, where he was, and it was the worst rain storm ever, and he said, come at 11 or 12, so I got up in the morning. And, of course, Lennart Meri was not there. This was before mobile phones. So, I stood there at the front door of this house for an hour. Then he came an hour, hour-and-a-half later, laughing. And then he proceeded to smoke my Marlboros,” president Ilves remembers.
In 1990, almost two years before the Soviet Union officially collapsed – but a few years after it already started to crumble from every corner – the then-leader of the Estonian government, Edgar Savisaar, invited Meri to become foreign minister. And thus, the former writer and filmmaker officially entered politics and was handed the enormous task of rebuilding Estonia’s foreign service, Estonia’s diplomacy.

Photo by Peeter Langovits, from the archive of the foreign ministry.
The last time Estonia had its own government and its own foreign service was in 1940. Fifty years of Soviet occupation had done its job and government-wise, there was almost nothing to rebuild on. The work had to start from the scratch.
One of these bright young people who at the time went to work for the foreign ministry and has stayed there for the past 30 years is the current deputy chief of the Permanent Representation of Estonia to the EU, ambassador Clyde Kull.

According to Kull, many people working at the foreign ministry at the time didn’t actually work for the ministry but were employed elsewhere – because of the lack of structure. They were technically employed elsewhere and got paid from elsewhere, even though they worked for the ministry. The foreign ministry employed its first advisors – Kull among them – only in March 1991, which was still half a year before the Soviet Union ceased to exist.
France was the first major Western power to recognise Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian independence. Just five days after recognition, French foreign minister Roland Dumas paid a visit to Estonia and was received in Kadriorg by the chairman of the Supreme Council, Arnold Rüütel, and foreign minister Lennart Meri. Photo by Peeter Langovits, from the archive of the foreign ministry.
President Ilves says he considers the Estonian foreign service one of the best foreign services – if not the best – of a small country that he has ever seen. “Clearly you can’t compare it to the British Foreign Office, or the French, let alone the State Department in the US,” he explains.
Even though in the first round of the presidential election, Rüütel had got 45% of the popular vote, the second round of the election was held in the parliament. On 5 October 1992, 59 of the 101 members of the Riigikogu supported Meri as president. He was sworn in the next day.
To this day, the post-occupation Estonia has had four presidents, two of them former foreign ministers – the other one being Toomas Hendrik Ilves.
Thus, I have to ask, is having been a foreign minister somewhat a perquisite for a successful presidency?

In 1996, during the second term of Lennart Meri’s presidency, Ilves accepted the position of foreign minister in the Estonian government.
“I became foreign minister because he called me up and demanded that I move to Tallinn and become foreign minister. And then he called prime minister Tiit Vähi and said, make him foreign minister,” Ilves recalls.
How about the disagreements? “We had disagreements over ambassadorial appointments, how long people should stay as ambassadors, because I was afraid of something called clientitis, which is that if you’re too long in one place, you begin to represent more the country you’re in rather than the country you’re from, so we had a big disagreement about that,” Ilves remembers.
At 6:15 PM on 21 October 1992, President Lennart Meri issued Decree No. 1 from Kadriorg, appointing the first constitutional government of the Republic of Estonia after the restoration of national independence, with Mart Laar as prime minister. Photo by Peeter Langovits, from the archive of the foreign ministry.
President Meri was the type of person who tended to call people one or two o’clock in the morning. “He had an interesting work style. He had a thirst for thoughts, ideas; he always had a starting point, he vaguely knew what he wanted to ask or get, but he needed input from others, and then he gathered these inputs during the night from everywhere, and by the morning, he was holding a pen, putting all that down on the paper along with his own thoughts,” Kull recalls.
“The best example of this was when we were together on his first work visit as president, to Brussels. We had a meeting at NATO. It was the first time when a Central or Eastern European president came to give a speech in front of the NATO ambassadors. And we already were in the cabinet of Manfred Wörner, the then-secretary-general of NATO, with whom we had a small meeting before going to the hall.
“This calm quality was very intrinsic for him, but it also characterises his work style,” Kull adds.
After the appointment of Mart Laar’s government, its members and the president posed for a group photograph in the foyer of Kadriorg Palace. Photo by Peeter Langovits, from the archive of the foreign ministry.
When Meri died in March 2006, I had been working as a journalist for eight years – five of them as a jack of all trades – an online journalist. Every emotion in my body had died by that time. Bad things happened all the time and when the said bad things happened, I usually sighed, worried about the fact that I had more work to do, that my weekend was ruined, that I couldn’t go out to drink that night because I had to work until 2AM.
But the day Lennart Meri died, I cried. The TV was on in the office and they showed old videos of president Meri, and I was just standing there next to my desk, watching it, and I couldn’t help but well up. The emotions that I had suppressed all these years, they weren’t dead. I just needed a personal loss, a personal affection, to release them. Yes, the day Lennart Meri died, I cried. And so did many others.

so e9 sip is on hold for a bit while i kick off e10 tgraph. was looking for another problem to try hadoop with and came across a classic graph one, pagerank. a well understood algorithm like page rank will be a great chance to try pig, the query language that sits on top of hadoop mapreduce.
so we need a graph to work on. my first thoughts were using one of the wikipedia linkage dumps but it feels a bit sterile. instead it's a good excuse to do a little crawl of the following graph of twitter.
this will also be a chance to try to document a project via a blog. skorks' incessant blog rambling has convinced me to give it a go.

Earlier today, I posted about how confused I was about what direction to take with my next mobile device.
Then on my way home, I was listening to podcasts and caught Upgrade #65: Holiday Firewall with Jason Snell and guest host Merlin Mann.* At about the 1:30:00 mark, they talk about how confusing it is to pick the right Apple product today. Good to know that others are as confused about their options as I am.

A remarkably beautiful animation inspired by William Blake.
"Tyger" is a dazzling animation by Guilherme Marcondes, created for an annual festival thrown by the British Council in Brazil. The only requirement was that it reference English culture in some way, so Marcondes chose William Blake's "The Tiger" for inspiration. Marcondes writes on his Website that he loves the poem because it "gives us a hint of wonder along with a fear of progress." We love this short, which had us wondering aloud, What immortal hand or eye/Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

"At the end of the day the skill set of the person oversees the gender"
Priyanka Nadig is the Assistant Manager-Materials Engineering at Intech DMLS Pvt. Ltd, a Metal Additive Manufacturing company in Bangalore, India. Intech provides solutions for the aerospace, automotive, health, and general engineering applications. At Intech, her research is primarily channelized towards reducing the manufacturing cost, development of new alloys, process optimization and characterization. She also collaborates with multiple leading academic institutions and carries out research activities that are both strong academically and from the business perspective.
Through her past experience, she has gained expertise in different manufacturing domains such as FMCG and Steel Industry. As an undergrad in mechanical engineering from Sir.MVIT, Bangalore, India, she constantly kept herself engaged with projects in the field of metallurgy. The subject intrigued her so much that she received a Master’s degree in Material Science and Engineering from the University of Sheffield, UK.
Priyanka, could you let us know about your background and what brought you into 3D printing in the first place?
3D printing gives an opportunity to understand the printing machine, materials that can be printed and the behavior of materials on changes in the machine settings. As engineers we have to constantly find the best fit of machine settings (parameters) and the material to arrive at the right product with properties that suit the application. This challenging approach is the very reason that brought me into 3D Printing.
I had taken a course on Rapid Manufacturing in my undergrad, but during that time the technology was not very popular and not much was spoken about 3D printing revolutionizing the manufacturing industry. Few years later I attended a seminar on 3D printing and could relate to the training that I received. It was exciting to know how rapidly the technology had already engulfed several areas of applications.
Could you explain furthermore what INTECH DMLS is and the services that you are providing?
I would like to take this opportunity to Introduce Intech DMLS Pvt Ltd, Bangalore, India as the forerunners in the field metal 3D printing and solution providers of Additive manufacturing (aka 3D printing) in the metal space.
We have the largest installation of commercially available 3D printers which is complimented by a sophisticated design studio for development of a fully functional part/component using the DMLS technology. Intech has a wide range of Alloys in Aluminium, Inconel, Steel and Chrome based. Successfully completed projects related to industries such as Aerospace, Tool and Die, Automotive, Medical, Oil and Gas and General Engineering. The printed parts are shipped ready for validation and testing to our customers. We are also associated with hospitals and leading medical professionals and developed medical devices for surgeries and orthotics.
Intech also works continuously on developing new products and one of the exciting products launched recently at Formnext 2017 is the software called AMOptoMet.
AMOptoMet is a predictive software with a high degree of accuracy assisting prediction of parameters for powder bed systems. AMOptoMet eliminates months and years of experimenting and understanding of Additive Manufacturing build technology. This tool helps reduce extensive research and development and limiting design of experiments to establish feasible parameters for printing. The software helps you gain complete control of what you want to print, be it high speed printing outputs, specific surface quality or varying densities with powders from any manufacturer literally. This tool is a must have for those who intend to minimize cost and maximize production.
Could you tell us more about your role in the company and what you do?
At Intech we always work as a team and the typical activities involve characterizing the properties of powder and printed metal parts with every change in the machine parameters. Based on the results, the right combination of parameters and the metal powder characteristics are established that fit the end application. AMOptoMet has reduced the time spent on this activity considerably and we are continuously working on including more features for the same. Other activities include projects related to waste optimization, developing alloys and parameter optimization that yield the expected material properties. Meanwhile, my team and I are also working on several exciting innovative projects for the health industry that could benefit the rural mass in the developing countries.
Metal 3D printing industry has been growing a lot the past few years, what do you think could help to scale up to mass production?
If we can reduce the cost per part, more industries and applications can crop up and different avenues for 3D printing will be generated. At the moment, I am currently focusing on this aspect at Intech DMLS to achieve the shift from batch to mass production. Several iterations have already led to scaling up in the productivity of machines, shift in design approach, effective powder management etc. In parallel, our activities pertaining to development of new alloys will also contribute to scale up mass production.
Have you ran into any challenges from being a woman engineer in 3D Printing?
So far I have not seen any gender bias because at the end of the day the skill set of the person oversees the gender. Many girls after graduating would shy away from taking up manufacturing jobs for many reasons. However, the trend is slowly changing, manufacturing industry’s attitude has become much more welcoming and encouraging for women in the recent years. In fact, some manufacturing companies find pride in recruiting, retaining and advancing women. The element of surprise that a lady is seen on the shop floor is gradually receding.
We are constantly working on updating the software AMOptoMet to make metal 3D printing easier. Some of the new features include integrated microstructural image analysis, optimized heat treatment cycles, powder management etc. We are also coming out with an orthotic medical device that is going to have a huge impact in the developing countries.
Impressive use has been mostly in the aerospace industry, especially in the Jet engine where the number of parts were reduced from 1000s to only 18. Life changing impact has been on the health industry such as implants, devices to assist surgeries, highly customized cranial structures, prosthetic arms etc.
3D printing gives an opportunity to address the product end to end-from the concept to the stage of actualization. There are several herculean tasks between pre-processing and post processing, giving an opportunity to understand the design fundamentals, quality, metrology, metallurgy, machining, surface finish etc. A 3D printing engineer ends up growing in all dimensions. The most interesting part about 3D printing is the fact that the technology is constantly evolving every day and as engineers we have to keep ourselves abreast with the rapid evolution.
3D printing is an intersection of science, art and technology and women are out there to prove to the world that they are here and to get things done the right way. Be it jewelry design or giving engineering solutions, women do it with efficacy. The technology has opened plethora of opportunities to showcase their talents in various fields, making us much more empowered and financially independent.
What do you consider game-changing technologies in additive?
Technologies such as Binder Jet , multiple laser printing, flexible and printed electronics and in-situ process monitoring technologies like melt pool analysis, development of AI and machining learning in process improvements, multi material printing etc.
What do you think of the metal 3D printing industry today? And how would you like to see it evolve?
The use of 3D printing has shifted from prototyping to printing functional parts that are actually up and running. With the evolution of this technology with newer and novel alloys, close monitoring systems the trend will soon change from batch manufacturing to mass customization and production.
Irrespective of the application, 3D printing requires equal contribution from various domains such as print shop, design, software development, materials engineering, testing, R&D, sales and marketing etc. to print a successful functional part. With so many options on the platter, women coming from diverse backgrounds can choose the right profile and get involved with 3D printing.
Women expertise.. Classy women.. Big Kudos to u..

Britain UK telecoms review – is Openreach too hot to touch?
What should be done with Openreach, the mechanism for competition in UK broadband? The regulator's announcement was a cautious 'leave it as it is'. Here we consider the other options. Divest Openreach from BT? Would public ownership be in the national interest?
Today the UK regulator Ofcom has unveiled its conclusions in a 10 year review of the UK telecommunications industry. At the centre of it all is Openreach, the British Telecom division that controls competitive access to broadband customers around the country. The burning issue is whether Openreach should remain part of British Telecom, or whether Ofcom should force them to separate. It would seem that the regulator will stay more or less, with the status quo. It's also being reported that BT is dangling a £1billion carrot in front of the regulator.
vision that a 10Mbits/s broadband should be a service that the public has a right to, like water or electricity. In that context, should it be split from BT? What could we make of a more radical idea to put Openreach into public ownership?
Openreach is the strategic vehicle underpinning that vision. It is a company that is highly visible on Britain's streets but whose business is little, if at all, understood by most ordinary people. The company was set up to enable competition in broadband services, and it is critical precisely because it controls the broadband access to homes and businesses around the country.
Openreach is the practical example of a regulatory concept known as 'functional separation'. This means that BT is under a legal obligation to keep the functions of its local loop – the part of the network that reaches homes and businesses – separate from the backbone or 'trunk' network. Openreach owns and manages that local loop function. It reports to the BT board, but it must allow BT's competitors to offer services over it. It is obligated to ensure that it treats all competitors on a fair and equitable basis. Thus, Openreach is a mechanism for competition, and it enables the likes of Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone and even smaller providers such as Zen Internet, to offer broadband and phone services direct to households.
There is general agreement that this mechanism has worked. That's why the UK has multiple broadband providers and the UK market is ahead of others in terms of its competitive offerings. So, that's a good thing.
But there is considerable controversy over how much BT controls and influences Openreach and whether it does so in ways that are anti-competitive or discriminatory. BT's competitors, including Vodafone, have been calling for change.
Meanwhile, BT's chief executive has revealed an offer of £1 billion additional investment - which would seem to be a ploy to avoid change.
Openreach owns the part of the telecoms network that requires the greatest investment. The old copper wires that go into people's homes are not sufficient for the higher speed broadband, and new fibre cable is needed. Some areas, notably rural places, still do not have broadband at all. Government policy is calling for new investment to upgrade the broadband infrastructure and increase the coverage of the broadband network into rural areas.
The point is that Openreach is critical to achieving that policy, but the source of the funding for investment is a key issue. BT is reluctant to invest unless it sees a revenue stream. Hence, it only installs the new fibre cable to street cabinets and not right up to homes and businesses. And only in urban areas. The government has been subsidising the rural upgrade to the tune of £1.7 billion.
At the same time, Openreach has recorded a profit of £1.282 billion for 2015, reflecting a margin of 10.4% . That's a margin that many businesses would envy. If claims from rivals are true, that BT is indeed loading up the costs, then the true profit could be even greater.
The government is patting itself on the back that its broadband policy has worked. It claims that something called 'super-fast' broadband is 'available' to some 80 per cent of UK homes and businesses. However, this claim is basically meaningless. 'Available' means that the fibre cable which is essential to deliver super-fast broadband, is somewhere in the vicinity. Usually that means the fibre goes to the street cabinet, which may be several hundred metres away. It does not mean that competitors are able to connect to the street cabinet or that 'access' is supplied to the home. Statistics for super-fast broadband access are harder to find and seem to vary between 20% and 30%. That indicates that a large part of the investment in fibre is currently being wasted. It may also indicate slow take-up due to BT's resistance to allow competitors onto the fibre.
Then there is the question as to how 'superfast' is defined. The regulator, Ofcom, defines it as above 30Mbits/s. The government defines it as more than 24Mbits/s, but at the same time says it wants universal access of 2Mbits/s which was the speed set in the 2009 EU Telecoms Package. The actual policy goal is therefore confusing.
Many users paying for superfast services will find they do not achieve the promised speeds. For example, I myself have been told that I could only get the Ofcom-defined 30Mbits/s download speed if I take a 40Mbits/s service, and even then, I would only get 16 Mbits/s upload speed. The speed depends on the distance of your property from the street cabinet where the fibre is located, and the download speed is also affected by the distance from the exchange. Having said that, these speeds would be a considerable improvement on the current 4.5Mbits/s.
There are other question marks around Openreach. The way it charges out its services to competing networks, for example. How fairly and equitably it provides access to the fibre in the street cabinets is key to the take-up of superfast broadband. In my own case, I've been asking my network provider, Vodafone (Demon), every year, when I am going to able to get superfast broadband (knowing that the new fibre street cabinet had been installed). Every year, I've been told they did not have the agreement with BT. I believe that competitors may now have it, but it has been a long time coming.
Openreach management of the existing copper-based network remains a critical outstanding issue. The UK will remain dependent on the copper local loop as long as the fibre only runs to the street cabinet. There is evidence of BT's under-investment in the copper network, and that the regulatory benchmarks are incentivising the wrong way.
Openreach engineers speak of joints decayed by water and limescale, and problems being ignored in the interest of meeting artificially-set regulatory targets. They speak of management by numbers, whilst street cabinets are left in disrepair. If this is correct, then it signals an investment issue. The best way to check it out is to do some leg-work. I doubt that the Ofcom chief, Sharon White, has ever spent time standing in the tipping rain watching an engineer's bum sticking out of a hole in the street while he fixes a rotten joint box. It probably is not her idea of fun. However, I do wonder whether she would benefit from doing so?
The government has a vision that Internet should be available to all citizens, in the same way as the utilities such as water and gas. It also wants to retain the policy of competitive suppliers to the end-user (a policy which was first drawn up in the early 1990s). If Openreach is critical to achieving that vision, then its place in the industry structure should be central to any new strategy. Moreover, the health of the network infrastructure should be the foundation of that strategy, because without a healthy infrastructure, the rest of the plan will crumble.
Ofcom has l not dared to do much more than tinker around the edges of the existing structure. That is not only a shame, but perhaps a missed opportunity.
Separating the Openreach business completely from BT's other businesses and putting it into a brand new company is one option. This is a concept known as structural separation. Several of BT's competitors are calling for this option to be selected.
Bubbling under all the regulatory noise is the notion that a publicly-owned local loop network could be a move that is in the national interest. Such an entity, freed from the vested interests of a network operator, could act in the interests of the wider economy. It wouldn't be an easy option, but it is an interesting one to consider.
The difficulty would be to determine where and how to transfer the existing assets and business. But surely, with an appropriate vision, that could be achieved. BT won't like it – but then BT has resisted change ever since it was privatised in 1984.
Overall, what's needed is an industry structure that will underpin the government policy vision for the long term future of broadband in the UK, and dare I suggest, a reformed regulator that has the teeth to enforce a fair and equitable arrangement.
Openreach is a hot potatoe - but is it too hot to touch?

Is there hope for the Middle East?
Many Christians think that it is biblical to believe that the Middle East will suffer from a never-ending war until the return of Jesus. But that’s not in the Bible. It is time for Christians to reassess their Bible prophecy interpretations when it comes to the Middle East, as otherwise we will soon be in danger of standing against God’s plans rather than for them.
The never-ending war in the Middle East is an extra-biblical teaching that I also used to believe in, mainly as it was presented as Bible truth. But in fact the Bible gives a lot more nuanced picture about the Middle East in the End Times than that.
What the Bible seems to teach clearly is that there will be one final End Time war between Israel and many nations. This conflict will be ended by divine intervention. And it is not a never-ending conflict but a conflict with a clear beginning and end.
“Then the Lord will go forth, and fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a very large valley; half of the mountain shall move toward the north and half of it toward the south. Then you shall flee through My mountain valley, for the mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah."
According to Zechariah, this Final War will end with the remnants of the nations and Israel worshipping God together. If we combine the prophecies of Zechariah and Revelation, it would seem that this Final War would mark the beginning of Jesus’ 1,000-year rule of peace on earth, after which Satan will be released to stir the nations for the last time.
But why is this teaching about the never-ending war in the Middle East so popular? It seems to be the prevalent paradigm about the Middle East, and most charismatic Christians seem to take it for granted.
We suffer from selective memory, and as since the end of World War 1 the Middle East has been in nearly never-ending turmoil, we tend to perceive the Middle East as natural place for violence. What we forget is that the Middle East was a relatively peaceful place for centuries, but that after World War 1 the European powers divided the Middle East arbitrarily in such a way that it didn’t follow any facts on the ground. For example, Kurdish people ended up living in four countries—Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria—when they should have in fact been given a country of their own. Most of the conflicts today in the Middle East are result of that Western intervention. For that fact alone, the Western powers owe a massive debt to the Middle East.
Also, in the Old Testament Israel and Judah seemed to be in continual war. Subconsciously, we tend to project those wars into today and future, without being aware of this projection. But just because there were many wars between Israel and her neighbours in the ancient times, it doesn’t necessarily follow that there should be wars in future.
Many teachers of Bible prophecy simply lump the Bible prophecies about End Time Israel with Jesus’ prophecy about many wars without caring much about the details. But details matter—especially when God is talking!
Jesus says that there will be many wars, but He doesn’t locate any of them on the map. They might be in Europe. They might be in America. They might be in Asia. They might be in the Middle East.
And then we read Bible prophecies about wars around Israel very carelessly.
This can’t be applicable to today, as the Jews lost most of the distinction between the tribes after return from Babylon. But the fulfilment of this prophecy fits neatly to the Hasmonean dynasty. It was the ruling dynasty of Judea and surrounding regions during classical antiquity. Between c. 140 BC and c. 116 BC, the dynasty ruled semi-autonomously from the Seleucids in the region of Judea. From 110 BC, with the Seleucid empire disintegrating, the dynasty became fully independent, expanded into the neighbouring regions of Galilee, Iturea, Perea, Idumea and Samaria, and took the title "basileus". Some modern scholars refer to this period as an independent kingdom of Israel. In 63 BC, the kingdom was conquered by the Roman Republic, broken up and set up as a Roman client state. The Kingdom had survived for 103 years before yielding to the Herodian Dynasty in 37 BC. Even then, Herod the Great tried to bolster the legitimacy of his reign by marrying a Hasmonean princess, Mariamne, and planning to drown the last male Hasmonean heir at his Jericho palace.
The Hasmonean dynasty started in the area of Judea first and from there it expanded to the surrounding regions. It is a lot easier to apply the prophecy of Zechariah 12:1-7 to the Hasmonean dynasty shortly before times of Jesus than to the End Times.
That makes a lot of a sense, as straight after, in Zechariah 12:10-11, the prophet refers to the crucifixion of Jesus that happened in times of the Herodian dynasty.
Here we seem to switch to End Time prophecy, through a transition that is made through referring to an event that took place soon after the end of the independent kingdom of Israel.
We need to study the Bible carefully, and not assume that every prophecy talks about our times, or the End Times. If God cares about Israel, He has cared about Israel at all times, hence it would make sense that at least some of the Old Testament prophets would have prophesied about the Hasmonean dynasty.
And the Bible doesn’t prophesy that Israel will have a never-ending war with her neighbours. In this article I look into a prophecy by Ezekiel that shows how Israel will have a time of peace with her neighbours in the End Times.
Just because we will die one day, it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t attempt to live well before it! The Final War is inevitable, but that doesn’t mean that before that we have to live in continual war. Or, just because I know I will die one day, it doesn’t mean that I should go and kill myself today. There’s no point in living as if we were at the end of the world when we are not.
Let’s work while it’s still day!
The rise of Islamic extremism has made the political picture of the Middle East even bleaker than it used to be, and today, we hear many theories about the Islamic antichrist. What many fail to realise that the antichrist can never be an Islamic extremist, as he will be the man of lawlessness (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12). If the Bible prophecy clearly defines the antichrist as man of lawlessness, why do we even try to make that prophecy fit into a caliph or imam whose agenda is to bring everyone under law—Sharia? Surely God would have defined the antichrist as someone who would bring false law rather than lawlessness. And I would imagine that Satan will want to release every imaginary sin onto earth, when the opportunity for his rule comes, rather than bring everyone under law.
Most teachers of Bible prophecy don’t study history, hence they miss the fulfilment of prophecy in the past. I don’t know a single charismatic Bible prophecy teacher that even seems to be aware of the Hasmonean kingdom that fulfilled many Old Testament prophecies. But how can you teach about the Bible prophecy if you don’t know history?
I believe that God has better plans than Never-Ending War for the Middle East. I’m basing that partially on Bible prophecy but also on what the Holy Spirit is and has been speaking about the Middle East.
God spoke to me about this satellite—the NileSat—five years before it was launched because He had good plans for the Middle East. For the last five years we have been airing Christian programming in Arabic via that channel. So have many other ministries. Did you know that last year, just one Christian channel airing in the Middle East in Arabic got well over 10 million contact requests?
In 2005, God spoke to me about a coming harvest in the Middle East that would be gathered in with the help of the internet, satellite TV, small groups and large-scale public evangelism. I write more about that in my book Five Movements: Winning the Battle for Your Prophetic Gift.
Recently when I was on holiday, the Holy Spirit began to speak about how He the season in the Middle East when full-scale mass evangelism will become possible in our lifetime. Think about tens or hundreds of Reinhard Bonnkes released to the Middle East!
It doesn’t look like that but that’s the way it will be!
I believe that what is taking place in the Middle East right now is Satan trying to preempt God’s plan. He’s trying to kill a generation. What did he do when he got to know about Moses who would deliver Israel? He got every Hebrew child killed. What did he do when he heard about Jesus? He got every child in Bethlehem killed. Right now, Satan is on a rampage to kill a generation of potential future deliverers in the Middle East.
What did he do when he tried to stop the return of Jews to Israel? He released the Holocaust through his servant Adolf Hitler. But even that failed, and the Jews returned to Israel nevertheless.
God is greater than Satan, and no matter what Satan will try, God’s plan will always defeat the plan of Satan.
Right now, we are experiencing the birth bangs of the great deliverance of Arab and Muslim people in the Middle East. Pray with me, and stand with us, until we see the wave of salvation transform the Middle East!
Perhaps it is true that peace won’t ever come to the Middle East before Jesus returns. But He can return to the Middle East now, through the Holy Spirit residing in the hearts of millions of Arabs and former Muslims.
Transformation is evolving in the lands of the rising sun.

As creatives, we often take our creativity for granted. Because we're creative, we apply our efforts to our creative pursuits rather than spending time thinking about what creativity actually is.
But Barbara Grace, a phenomenal woman that I can spend hours talking to, does exactly that. She spends her time thinking about creativity - what it is, how we access it, how we can nurture it, how we use it in every aspect of our lives and much more.
Creativity isn't only about art - it's about life and how we choose to live it.
The ability to transcend traditional ways of thinking and to create new ideas, forms, methods etc.
The process by which we we utilize our creative ability.
Which is a long winded way of saying what we intuitively know about creativity - that if we have it, we can do things differently, right?
She likens it to linguistics, and says that creativity is just another language - one that we all knew how to speak when we were little, but that some of us have simply forgotten. Personally, I like this metaphor for creativity, because it means that we can re-learn how to speak it, much in the same way as we might go about learning any other language. Through lots of practice, engaging with other people who know how to speak that language and possibly immersing oneself in it.
This is an empowered view of creativity, and not one that leaves us feeling like we missed out on the talent boat.
Why is it even important to spend time thinking about creativity?
Because we don't always have it.Because sometimes we forget how to speak this language. We stumble and stutter feeling like we don't have another creative thought to draw on.
For an artist, that could spell disaster.
But it doesn't have to. Once we understand the creative process, and our own creative nature better, we sill once again speak Creativity fluently and our art will benefit.
Barbara is the brains behind The School of Modern Psychology. http://www.schoolofmodernpsychology.com/. - a beautiful haven where people can come to gain clarity, transform themselves and reach for their highest potential.
Understanding creativity should be a mandatory learning area for any artist. Once we really understand how creativity works, we will be able to overcome those "blocks" and blank moments, attacks of the inner critic and the self doubt that ensues.
Imagine being a confident, productive, self-assured artist at the top of your creative game?
Imagine knowing proven strategies that develop creative thinking, nurture it and help you to access it whenever you need it?
That's what Barbara's school offers, and she doesn't only work with artists. She works with anyone who wishes to transform their lives, who want to achieve their goals, upgrade their thinking and live the life they want.
