10 Insanely Awesome Inspirational Manifestos
There are certain messages that serve to get you “back to one” when you find you’re going off course. Whether you use tools such as a manifesto, a personal mission statement, a vision board or a list similar to Benjamin Franklin’s “13 Virtues”, taking the time to identify with one and then keeping it handy is worthwhile – and perhaps even imperative. But in a lot of cases you don’t have to “reinvent the wheel”; there are some awesome inspirational manifestos that have already put out there for you to look at and use as a means to set you back on course. 1. This is one of the best known ones on the web. 2. Baz Luhrman, best known as the director of films like “Strictly Ballroom” and “Moulin Rouge!” 3. the lululemon manifesto The corporate manifesto for thsi athletic wear company may very well be a bellwether for a shift in the culture of the new enterprising set. 4. While this one may be directed at women in business, it certainly can apply to a much larger demographic. 5. 6. 8. 9. focus Related:  Inspiration

In a world that puts end-based and goal-oriented happiness first, it's a genuinely valid question. However, it turns out that the secrets to consistent happiness might be closer than we think. Here are seven things the happiest folks do every day you should be incorporating into your daily routine. 1. Other than making your body feel great, exercise also helps your brain. 2. We choose what we eat, what we don't eat, and all the good and bad things we do to our bodies. 3. Happy people don't let life's punches get them down too hard. 4. Thoreau was a firm believer in immersing ourselves into the natural world. 5. We derive the most pleasure from social interactions when we have a deeper connection to the people with whom we are interacting. 6. It's easy to complain. 7. We often do not realize that we have the power within us to change a bad mood to a good one.

מניפסט סוריאליסטי המניפסט הסוריאליסטי הראשון נכתב ב-1924 על ידי אנדרה ברטון, משורר ומנהיג הקבוצה הסוריאליסטית, שכללה משוררים, סופרים וגם אמנים. המניפסט נכתב כזרימה חופשית של מחשבות, ללא תכנית נוקשה. בפתח דבריו מהלל ברטון את הדמיון. לדבריו הדמיון מצוי בשפע בקרב ילדים אך כחלק מתהליך הגדילה וההתבגרות מוכנס הדמיון למסגרות ברורות והגיוניות (מסגרות החינוך, לדוגמה) כדי שלא יפריע בתפקוד החברתי היום-יומי. כשמגיעים האנשים לגיל עשרים תופסת את מקומו של הדמיון תועלתיות צרה, מלאת חוקים וסייגים. הדמיון על פי ברטון נשאר משוחרר מכבלים בקרב: ילדים משוגעים (למרות כל ההגבלות והעונשים הכבדים המשוגעים ממשיכים לנהוג לפי כללי העולם הדמיוני שלהם. על פי ברטון ניתן לשחרר את הדמיון בעזרת: כתיבה אוטומטית התייחסות רצינית אל החלום (על פי תורתו של פרויד) שבירת הקו המפריד בין הערנות לשינה ועל ידי כך שחרור המחסום שיוביל ליצירה של ממשות חדשה - סוריאליסטית. ב-1929 פרסם ברטון את המניפסט הסוריאליסטי השני, ובו פירט מה היו הניסיונות של הסוריאליסטים להרוס את הרעיונות המרכזיים של אהבת מולדת, משפחה ודת. מקורות כתבה: אלה טל

Bear 71: A Real World Multi-User Experience  You’ll know by now I’m a huge advocate of digital convergence, and this piece is one of the very best I’ve ever seen, it takes the concept to new heights… It’s called Bear 71, an interactive, multi-user documentary experience and installation that debuts at the Sundance Film Festival. Bear 71 Live observes and records the intersection of humans, nature and technology in a live, Internet connected event. Questioning how we see the world through the lens of technology, this multi-user, interactive story blurs the line between the wild world and the wired one, and allows users to explore the bear’s natural habitat in a number of very cool ways, including the Nature grid, though an array of motion sensors, live streaming web cams, GPS equipment and the like… It launch last weekend to 30,000 visits a day without any paid media.

16 Goals To Set For Next Year That Are More About Enjoying What You Have Than... Milestones are markers that you’re evolving – they do not create emotional fulfillment in the way we think they will. This confusion is why with the dawn of each new year, our resolutions are to change our lives, rather than to change ourselves. But what if we made goals that were more about loving what we have rather than chasing what we don’t? What if we realized that it’s what we were seeking in the first place? It’s something to consider – if not even try just a little. Here, a few ideas to get you started: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16.

Sneak Preview of the Tim Burton Exhibit at LACMA (74 Photos) Click images to enlarge Yesterday Kyle and I had the opportunity to see a sneak peak of the upcoming Tim Burton exhibition at the LACMA’s new Resnick Pavilion, which opens to the public on Sunday, May 29. The exhibit is a retrospective of Burton’s career, starting with his early work as a kid growing up in Burbank and how he slowly became the creative genius we know today. The exhibit is filled with a mix of everything like paintings, sculptures, videos, short films, movie props and even a huge, black light installation. My favorite part was seeing all of the old drawings and sketches he did when he was younger. There were also a ton of movie related sketches and items such as Jonny Depp’s costume from Edward Scissorhands, 3 Batman mantles and even the eyeballs used for Large Marge from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. I really liked the show overall, but Kyle mentioned that the exhibit could have been way more creative overall.

Fifteen Things for When the World is Shitty and Terrifying. | I Am Begging My... Laquan MacDonald was seventeen and murdered by a Chicago police officer in cold blood. I watched a video of his murder, along with most of America, right in between reading about how Americans are terrified of letting refugees from war-torn Syria into the country, and reading about how a man with a rifle opened fire at a Planned Parenthood in Colorado yesterday. I can’t think of anything else to say that hasn’t already been said about how horrible and sad and awful and bleak and shitty and unfathomable all of those things are. I can’t. Open your closet. 2. running around playing. If you see a parent looking stressed out, give them an encouraging smile, as if to say, “You’re doing a great job.” 3. 4. again. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. Think about all the times you got busy, and didn’t visit your relatives like you said you would, or didn’t give the dollar in the checkout line because times are rough and who even knows what the March of Dimes is.

Sheryl Sandberg - Today is the end of sheloshim for my... Traverses La seconde question à poser concerne Merah et sa surveillance - ou plutôt son défaut de surveillance. La première chose qui m'a frappé, c'est l'extrême professionnalisme du terroriste. Merah avait reçu une excellente formation et j'ai tendance à le croire quand il prétendait avoir suivi des sortes de cours particuliers. Sa formation est celle d'un tueur professionnel maniant parfaitement une gamme d'armes diversifiées et bien entretenues, sachant repérer ses victimes et agir avec un sang-froid parfait. C'est pourquoi je n'ai pas cru une minute à la thèse de la culpabilité d'anciens militaires. Les militaires ne sont pas des terroristes et n'en ont pas la formation. Ce qui me conduit à une seconde réflexion: Merah n'a certainement pas agi seul - ainsi qu'en témoigne maintenant l'envoi de ses vidéos très proprement éditées et montées (25 minutes de séquence !) Qu'on ne vienne donc pas nous parler de "dégénéré", de "loup solitaire", de "fou pervers". Il y a plusieurs réponses.
