CURIOSITY: Making Hope Possible Rather Than Despair Convincing
"To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing" – Raymond Williams (Welsh novelist & critic 1921-88)
So much of what makes hope possible or despair convincing is in the words, messages, and body language we use, hear or interpret in our communication and building of our relationships. Curiosity creates hope and that begins with you. Continue reading
How To Use Curiosity To Create The Change We Need
I have been reading Naomi Klein's latest book 'This Changes Everything' (Alfred A. Knope Canada 2014), a book I would highly recommend. Even though it comes in at close to 500 pages, every page is well researched and her general message is one of optimism about the future of our planet. In it, Klein suggests humans have been trying to conquer nature for the past 300 years, using it to for our purposes, even at its expense and that of humans. Evidence of this includes cutting down the rainforests, removing minerals from the earth, destroying the landscape, while having little regard for animals, vegetation and water. When we look at where our world is at and where it is heading, we quickly understand this approach isn't working.
Klein talks about a need for humans to live in partnership with nature, respecting all aspects of it and working to support it so sustainability is possible for every living species. This requires us to understand how nature works, and what it needs to be resilient and hence sustainable. With understanding comes respect for all species, respect that leads to sustainability for all. As I read Klein's book I couldn't help but connect her thoughts on this larger issue with our work (smaller scale) and wondered – just how much understanding of our earth does each of us actually have? Based on our experience in leadership development alone, most of us rarely take the time to understand each other on a daily basis, let alone the time to understand other species. How will humans ever see the value of understanding other species if they rarely see the value of understanding their own, be it family, colleagues, bosses, or friends? I think we can all agree we all want the planet to remain habitable, not only for ourselves, but for future generations as well. What no one seems to agree on is how exactly to do it.
So we wondered, what do we do so we can move from our current need to conquer nature, and each other, to a place where we seek to understand and respect it? We have no idea 'what' is needed specifically to get there, however we do know one of the basic strategies of 'how' to get there is curiosity.
If the human race can shift from telling others what to do, shift from a position of imposing 'power over' each other and nature, and move to a place where we seek to understand one another, we will be moving towards respect for, and partnership with nature, a move towards sustainability of our planet Earth.
Only when we are curious can we be present to fully listen to what is being said, suspend judging to learn from others, and ask the open, curious questions required to help us all begin to change the paradigm of conquer and control to one of partnering which can lead to respect, understanding and sustainability. That is the power of curiosity and everyday we all hold that power to make change.
We cannot rely on politicians, CEOs, large organizations and/or other seats of power to create the needed change for our planet any more than we can rely on them to create the change needed in our individual lives. We need to begin acting in a curious way, each one of us, being open to how we can show up differently, how we can connect with others, understanding larger needs and forming communities that can create the momentum needed to start to move towards sustainability. Every single person on the planet is responsible for this and can help.
As Margaret Mead once said: "Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has."
- What do you know about global warming?
- How can you find out more?
- How curious are you about other species you share your world with?
- How much do you understand about them?
- What are you doing to support sustainability of our planet Earth for us, for our children and future generations?

LAGOS, Nigeria — The deadly H5N1 bird flu virus has been detected on a large commercial chicken farm in Nigeria — the first reported outbreak in Africa, the World Organization for Animal Health said Wednesday.
The outbreak appears to be restricted to birds, and no human infections have been reported, the Paris-based organization said.
Nigeria said the outbreak was on a farm in Jaji, a village in the northern state of Kaduna. Agriculture Minister Adamu Bello told reporters in Abuja that the deadly strain of the virus was detected in samples taken Jan. 16 from birds on the farm.
"The significance is that it's a completely new continent that we need to be looking at," said Alex Thiermann, an expert for the World Organization for Animal Health, known as the OIE, said of the virus' arrival on the world's poorest continent.
All 46,000 chicken, geese and ostriches on the Nigerian farm have been killed and their bodies disposed of, Thiermann said. Nigerian authorities have banned the movement of birds and people off the farm.
Officials also are investigating whether birds were transferred to other farms in the past 21 days, and they, too, are being quarantined, he said.
Thiermann said it was not yet known how the virus entered Nigeria, but migratory waterfowl likely played a role because the country is on a "major flyway." No cases of bird flu have been reported elsewhere in Africa.
A laboratory in Padua, Italy, identified the H5N1 strain in the Nigerian birds, OIE said in a statement, adding that further tests were being carried out to determine how closely the Nigerian strain matched the H5N1 strain detected elsewhere in the world.
The Italian Health Ministry said the bird flu strain is very similar to those found in Siberia and Mongolia.
88 confirmed deaths
Bird flu began ravaging poultry across Asia in 2003, forcing the slaughter of more than 100 million birds and jumping to humans. The World Health Organization has confirmed 88 deaths from bird flu out of a total of 165 cases of human infection. Almost all the cases have been in Asia, but the disease recently has been detected in Europe and the Middle East.
The Chinese government said Wednesday a 26-year-old woman has contracted bird flu. The confirmation brings to at least 11 the number of people in China who have been infected. Two of them have died, according to WHO.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Though all the people who contracted the disease so far are believed to have been infected through contact with sick birds, experts are concerned the disease could mutate into a form easily spread from human to human, potentially triggering a global pandemic.
Sub-Saharan Africa, with about 600 million of the world's poorest people, is particularly ill-equipped to deal with a major health crisis. With weak and impoverished government institutions in regions where many people keep chickens for badly needed food, experts say any mass killings of the animals — often a first step in controlling bird flu — will be difficult to pull off.
Thiermann said some African countries have "very weak" veterinary systems.
International help needed
The World Health Organization said Nigeria has about 140 million poultry and the country's overtaxed veterinary services needs international help. It called on other African countries act quickly against any suspected outbreaks.
"If the situation in Nigeria gets out of control, it will have a devastating impact on the poultry population in the region," said Samuel Jutzi, head of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization's Animal Production and Health Division. "It will seriously damage the livelihoods of millions of people and it will increase the exposure of humans to the virus."
Two other west African nations — Gabon and Mauritania — imposed measures Wednesday to fight potential outbreaks in those countries.
Nigeria, Africa's most-populous nation with 130 million people, said it would work to halt the flow of any sick birds into uninfected zones.
"We shall quarantine and stamp out all livestock in any farm suspected of having avian influenza and pay full compensation to the owners," Bello said.
"We feel that they are doing everything they can and they certainly need help," he said of Nigeria.
Nigerian officials said Wednesday that initial tests on chickens that mysteriously died in Kano, a state neighboring Kaduna, showed no signs of bird flu. Salihu Jibrin, head of the state's livestock department said at least 60,000 birds have died in Kano state in recent weeks. Tests were ongoing.
Awalu Haruna, secretary of the Poultry Farmers' Association of Kano, accused the government of being slow to respond to the epidemic of poultry deaths in the state.
"The government should have quarantined the affected farms to prevent further spread," he said. "But as I speak this has not been done. There is still movement of humans and birds in and out of these farms."

Casual Summer Dresses0August 2nd, 2013Dresses, Our Fashion Choice
There's no easier way to look polished and stay cool than to slip into a casual summer dress. Admittedly, choosing just one dress per day can be difficult! Once that's settled, let the fun begins as you style your look.
This long tank dress with a deep side slit takes you from the farmer's market to an outdoor music festival and on to parties under the stars. Check out the stripe placement on this casual dress! It's a clever way to accentuate an hourglass figure.
Stripes are trending this summer, but make the style your own. Try jeweled sandals for the party or skimmers for the market. You've got a completely different look that directs your jewelry and handbag decisions. This spaghetti strap dress is available with black stripes on white, royal blue or dark pink (pictured here).
A darling lace bodice trim gives this floral sleeveless dress a modern twist. Toss this summer dress into your suitcase and voilà! You've got the pivotal piece for your vacation wardrobe. Add a cardi for air conditioned stores and offices and this dress goes from work to play. Choose a handbag with a pop of red or green to play up the print, and you're ready for the summer, wherever it takes you.
Why can't I resist the geometric print on the front of this fuchsia tank dress? Perhaps a better question is why would I resist a fun summer dress? The bright print and deep scoop back are center stage, so I'd keep the accessories minimumal. This knit dress goes from the beach to dinner and a fun night out without skipping a beat. Just love that energy!
When summer is in full swing, why wear anything but a dress?Tags: casual dresses, dresses with stripes, print dress, summer dresses, sundress, tank dress

Brand New Track!
He spent a few years in his childhood in Gagnoa, Ivory Coast, which gave him the gimmick "This is Vegedream from Gagnoa", present in several of his songs (Ramenez la coupe à la maison, La Fuite, Marchand de sable Part. 3, La Moula, Mama he, Reviens dans ma vie or le Le 4 Mai C'est La Loi de Naza).
Member of the group LA SYNESIA which he founded with his friends, he started a solo carreer with "La Fuite", which became viral. He released a first album "Marchand de Sable", then a reedition with 10 unpublished tracks.
In 2018 the song "Ramenez la coupe à la maison", played after the win of French soccer team of the 2018 world cup, became the official French team victory anthem, which gave him a massive exposition in the medias with 108 million views on YouTube. He's also in the soundtrack of the film Taxi 5 with his song "Du Temps".
He made lots of collaborations, with Naza, Dadju or Keblack.

Bittihiisi | Krushing | Krushord | Salaneuvosto |
hey guys how do I get the volca bass connected in between my concertmate and mpk25 using ableton, I have a 3.5mm audio cable but not sure if this is enough. HELP
The way I explained. You can't really have it "in between" the keyboard(s) & Live, since you can't route MIDI through the Volca, only in it. So - MIDI out from the DAW into the Volca & audio out (as you have it) from the Volca into Live.
Bittihiisi | Krushing | Krushord | Salaneuvosto |
I gotta question, as you say here's nothing there that's impossible.
Could you please help me, I downloaded GarageBand on my Mac and I am trying to hook it up with my mpk25. When I plug it via usb, keys and pads work great, however, play/stop buttons + rewind back/forward buttons simply won't do anything. Any ideas how to make them work as it supposed to?
Your help would be much appreciated

There you are, breathing your way into downward dog, and as you look down between your hands, you get distracted by the spots and dirt on your Gaiam yoga mat. Where did that come from? Think about it, it's with you wherever you go--the truck of your car, your locker at the gym and, of course, countless hours of yoga classes. There's no need to treat your mat as a disposable item, though; it is remarkably easy to keep them clean and germ-free.
Commercial Products
Many companies now produce products to clean yoga mats. Gaiam, leaders in the yoga industry, offer a Yoga Mat Wash that's made with organic essential oils that are antiseptic and antibacterial. This will not only clean your yoga mat but also give it a refreshing scent.
Homemade Cleaners
Prefer a homemade approach to cleaning? Make a solution of water and tea tree oil, a natural antiseptic/antifungal. Fill a small spray bottle with the solution and keep it on hand to wipe down your mat after each class.
Spot Cleaning
According to Yoga Journal, if your mat is slightly soiled, use a spray bottle and damp sponge or soft rag to apply a solution of 2 cups of water and 4 drops of dish soap. Rub the soiled areas. Wipe the mat with clean water; then rub with a dry towel. Hang or lay flat to air-dry.
Deep Cleaning
If your Gaiam yoga mat has become really dirty, submerge it in a bathtub filled with warm water and mild detergent. Use very little soap; residue can cause the mat to become slippery. Thoroughly wash the mat and rinse in clean water. Roll the mat up in a large, dry towel, pressing lightly to remove the excess water, unroll and hang to air-dry, keeping it away from direct heat and bright sunlight.
Additional Tips
Gaiam recommends washing your yoga mat with 1/4 cup of vinegar to revive stickiness after long-term use.
Store your Gaiam yoga mat in a mat bag when not in use.

Goodreads: The Problim Children
Series: The Problim Children #1
Source: Gift
Published: Feb. 2018
The seven Problim children live in the Swampy Woods while their parents explore for the Queen of Andorra. But then one day their house goes KABOOM! Faced with being homeless, they cheerfully move into their grandfather's old mansion in the town of Lost Cove. But their neighbors are not at all pleased. Sam surrounds the house with fog, Mona has a human catapult in the yard, and their baby brother Toot rides a pig while releasing outrageous farts. Worse, the town is convinced the children are cursed–and they will do anything to have them taken away and separated..
Natalie Lloyd's previous two books, A Snicker of Magic and The Key to Extraordinary, enchanted me with their warmth and their joy. They celebrate family and encourage loud living. I was eagerly looking forward to The Problim Children as a result. However, though the book is a solid middle-grade novel, I find that is lacking a little something special, the thing that make Lloyd's other books so special.
I think that the large cast of characters in this one may have been a little too much for Lloyd to handle gracefully. Thea comes across as the most complex and realistic as she is the only Problim whose head readers get to look inside. (I assume future books will focus on different Problims.) Her brothers and sisters come across simply as one specific character trait: Mona is creepy, Sundae is weirdly cheerful, and Toot farts. A lot. They do not have a lot of personality, but instead seem to be trying too hard to be quirky.
The plot is fairly standard. The children have inherited an old mansion and suspect that there are clues inside that will lead to hidden treasure. Meanwhile, a nasty neighbor is doing her best to demonstrate that the children are neglected and must be shipped off to live in several different continents. I do not mind that the plot is one that appears in many a middle-grade. I know full well that Lloyd can make any plot her own. However, I think her signature will need time to come out in the sequels.
The Problim Children is a fun book that celebrates the strength of family and inspires readers with the message than any problem is a gift. I think it will be very popular with middle school readers. I simply hope that we see stronger characterization in the sequels.

Deals on this lens do not materialize very often, so I thought I would post it here.
Cameta Camera (an online dealer whom I whole-heartedly recommend) has a factory demo 300mm with a full Olympus warranty available for $4,999.00 (that's a cool $2,000.00 off regular list price). I don't think that prices will stay at that low level if Olympus does in fact introduce an E-5 successor in six weeks.
Link is here:
Olympus Zuiko 300mm f/2.8 Digital ED Telephoto Lens - Factory Demo includes Full 1 Year Warranty
BTW, Cameta also has some pretty incredible deals on micro4/3 packages on their site right now.

|You see those faces in the doorway? NONE of those people were there at the time this picture was taken,
Their images only appeared after this wedding photo was developed. Woooooooooooh.
And it's not because I don't believe in love. I believe in love! I have met actual, real people who are in love in with their life partners. Hell, I'm even related to some of them.
I just think that Valentine's Day is literally the worst day of the year to express that love. A bunch of flowers given on a random Thursday is a million times more romantic than one given on the 14th of February. (And I am saying this as someone who would love to be given a bunch of flowers occasionally. Even on Valentine's Day. Honestly, I'm not picky.)
But what do I know of love? Absolutely nothing.
So for insightful observations on the nature of true love, I would like to direct your attention once again to the always amazing Australian songwriter, Tim Minchin.
Because, you know, you can be happily married to a woman you met in your teens and still recognise that "It's just mathematically unlikely that at a university in Perth / I happened to stumble on the one girl on Earth specifically designed for me".
And, maybe it's just me, but if someone ever told me "I don't think you're special / I mean, I think you're special / But you fall within a bell curve", I'd respect them a hell of a lot. Because I do like a man with a good understanding of mathematical probability.
There's a longer version of this song. Worth mentioning because this version contains the lines
You're lovely but there must be girls as lovely as youAnd you know, I can never un-hear a spanking reference. Especially when it's being said by Tim Minchin. Shame he's so very obviously in love with his wife. (And if you listen all the way to the end of that longer clip, you'll appreciate that Mrs Minchin sounds every kind of awesome.)
And maybe more open to spanking or table tennis
I'm just saying
Unfortunately, come to think of it, my table tennis skills are terrible. Bang goes my chances of a threesome.
|Well, this went slightly off-topic.
I feel obliged at this point to mention the VALENTINES Corbin Bend collection of VALENTINES stories of VALENTINE-ness. Buy them all now! Or at least, my one.

After the exhilarating psychedelic ride of their acclaimed debut, Moonchy & Tobias's new album Atmosfereis more subdued and subtly intoxicating. Multi-instrumentalist Todd Tobias crafted a series of bright, labyrinthine soundscapes within which vocalist Pat Moonchy luxuriantly weaves. While the songs on their debut were sung in an imaginary language, here Moonchy sings in her native Italian. Atmosfere feels like a sun-dappled morning after Moonchy & Tobias's intoxicating dark night of the soul. It's the perfect companion – but also a succinct and compelling stand-alone that is as beautiful as it is mysterious.
Moonchy & Tobias are Italian vocalist Pat Moonchy and American instrumentalist Todd Tobias. Moonchy is one-half of the experimental band Sothiac, plays in duos alongside trombonist Angelo Contini and jazz drummer Lino Liguori, in the Tai-No Orchestra, and with German krautrock pioneers Faust. Ohio native Tobias is a long-time collaborator with Robert Pollard (Guided by Voices), and provided the musical backing to Pollard's vocals in the freak-rock trio Circus Devils. Tobias has also released a series of themed instrumental albums under his own name, and a duo album with Chloe March titled Amialluma. Moonchy & Tobias released their self-titled debut album on Tiny Room Records and Hidden Shoal in 2018. Atmosfere was on October 18, 2019.
