Two professors talk about looking at gun violence as a public health issue. In other news, the state of California shared links from an anti-immigrant hate group on its Department of Social Services website. Plus, a play about Leonardo Da Vinci is now on stage in San Diego, and the playwright gives us the inside scoop.

Leonardo da Vinci's painting of The Mona Lisa, also called La Gioconda has captured society's collective imagination. Her hold on the audience is so intense there is a widely known phenomenon called, The Mona Lisa Effect referring to the experience of feeling like the subject of an image is looking directly at the viewer no matter where one is standing in the room. Simply put, people feel like Mona Lisa is staring at them and her eyes follow them around the room. According to scientists at Bielefeld Unversity in Germany, La Gioconda does not look directly at the viewer. Her gaze is said to be about 15 degrees to the right looking at the viewer's ear or over their shoulder. They concluded that ironically, The Mona Lisa does not demonstrate the Mona Lisa effect.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection released their plan this week for Friendship Park, taking community input into account, and revising a plan that caused a public outcry. But park advocates are not satisfied, and said it furthers the border wall plan set forth by former president Donald Trump. And, Imagine: You are at the grocery store, ready to check out. You put your card in the reader. It is declined. And you have no other way to pay. That is what is happening to thousands of San Diego residents who have had their EBT cards hacked and drained of funds. Next, some people give birth at home by accident. But increasingly, mothers are choosing midwives and home births over doctors and hospitals. And, Leonardo Da Vinci may be better known for painting the Mona Lisa than for writing thousands of pages of journal entries. But, playwright Mary Zimmeman was so intrigued by his writing that she took his words and crafted a play around them. “The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci” opens at The Old Globe in Balboa Park on Saturday. And, finally, a San Diego author shares her new young adult novel, “This is Not a Personal Statement.” Tracy Badua's book follows 16-year-old overachiever, Perla Perez, whose life is thrown into disarray after she is inexplicably rejected by her dream college.

Have you ever seen the painting “The Last Supper” by Leonardo Da Vinci? If so, did you see the yellow sun globe around Jesus head? Did you ever depict what it meant on a deeper level? You see a lot of the stories in the bible are meant for allegory and metaphors as it was meant for a deeper truth. For example back in ancient days the Egyptians gave the name Neter to the great and supreme Force of all, the “One God,” the source of all Creation, all that is and all that shall be. They felt that to know this one God was to know the many faces, qualities, and attributes of this sacred source, and the more they learned of these faces, the closer they got to the divine origin. From the Neter emerge the Neteru, there are countless Neteru, so from the One come the many. These Neteru are Cosmic principles, laws, and forces of Universal Nature and the Consciousness that permeate the whole universe. They are the means by which the Neter sustains creation and manifests through it. You and I are a part of God's creation. How we express ourselves are different, but nonetheless a part of the many faces of the source of all creation. The ancient Egyptian people reasoned that no one on Earth could ever lay claim of ownership to the Great Orbit of the Day. It must belong to the unseen Creator of all. It became, figuratively speaking, not man's, but “God's Sun”. God's Sun was truly the light of the world. Come listen in and find out if “God's Son is God's Sun” allegorically and see if there's any expression of truth figuratively for us to live by today.

Work doesn't have to be devoid of meaning and fulfillment. You can lead a meaningful and purpose-driven life (and find your purpose) and your work and career can be a valuable part of it!   Michael Gelb, author of How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci and the Healing Organization shows you how to find more fulfilling work, more meaningful work, and how to pull more meaning out of your work.   Key Points Discussed:  What we can do at work to begin to change the world. Being more successful by being consistently kind and focusing on the needs of those around us. Shifting businesses to the notion of stakeholders rather than just shareholders. How do we as individuals choose which companies to work for to support that which supports us? Planned obsolescence and how exploitative it is of customers and the earth. What we can do when we are in a company that is performing shock experiments on its employees and customers? What do we do if we're in the barrel and can we actually make a difference when we're feeling we can't? Out of all companies, which one expresses the most positive story or best model for us to understand moving forward? Healing ourselves and aligning our daily lives around a higher intention. The truly human leadership by Bob Chapman at Barry Wehmiller companies. The power of an idea that is just right for its time.   Visit: https://michaelgelb.com/    To find out more visit: https://amzn.to/3qULECz - Order Michael Sandler's book, "AWE, the Automatic Writing Experience" www.automaticwriting.com  - Automatic Writing Experience Course www.inspirenationuniversity.com - Michael Sandler's School of Mystics https://inspirenationshow.com/ https://www.dailywoohoo.com/ - Sign up for my FREE daily newsletter for high-vibration content. …….

How Leonardo da Vinci's Mindset Changed the World.Timeless knowledge and motivation from Leonardo da Vinci. An active painter, theorist, sculptor, and architect, his famous mindset and quotes are still taught to this day.Spoken by: John Mydrim Ballantyne DaviesMusic:Audiojungle Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Leonardo Da Vinci revolutionized the way people were painted during the Renaissance, and his "Mona Lisa" is the most famous painting in the world and is a cultural icon for beauty, in part due to what is usually described as her alluring and mysterious smile. What has made the "Mona Lisa" so popular for more than 500 years? It can be boiled down to one word: innovation.  Da Vinci was an innovator his entire life. He saw possibilities everywhere. The painting is a culmination of his curiosity and studies he undertook during his lifetime. Leonardo was interested in just about everything. One thing he was interested in was human anatomy, and he made many anatomical studies of the human body, including the facial muscles used for smiling. He discovered the complex system of muscle movement needed to produce a smile, and the data he collected during dissections he performed helped him produce the world's most revered painting. This week's CX Decoded podcast guest knows about innovation, data collection and omnichannel approaches when it comes to beauty as well. Michelle Pacynski, vice president of digital innovation at Ulta Beauty, has led Ulta through much of its digital transformation in the past 10 years, a time in which the company revolutionized how beauty products were assembled and marketed to enthusiasts.   We caught up with her to find out what brands can learn from the beauty industry about a host of topics, including the high level of engagement of beauty enthusiasts.

First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy was the driving force behind a brilliant act of cultural diplomacy: bringing Leonardo Da Vinci's masterpiece, Mona Lisa, to the American people. After convincing everyone from her husband, President John F. Kennedy and French President Charles De Gaulle, to the French Cultural Minister and the Director of the National Gallery of Art, Mona Lisa was brought to the United States in January 1963. Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, spoke with a distinguished panel about the 60th anniversary of this extraordinary exchange, which drew nearly two million visitors. Episode guests include: His Excellency, Philippe Étienne, Ambassador of France to the United States; Bénédicte de Montlaur, President and CEO of the World Monuments Fund; and Kaywin Feldman, Director of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.   Find all our podcasts at: https://www.whitehousehistory.org/160...

I mange år hang et portrett av Jesus i en trappeoppgang hos en familie i USA, uten at det vakte særlig oppsikt. Men etter flere år skulle det plutselig endre seg. Da ble det oppdaga av to kunsthandlere som kjøpte det for en billig penge, for så å oppdage at det ikke var hvilket som helst maleri – men det fortapte "Salvator Mundi" av selveste Leonardo Da Vinci.

Jennifer Granholm Hablar de adelantos científicos es una de las cosas que más hacemos en Hablando de Tecnología. pero hablar de temas como la fusión nuclear, especialmente cuando se trata de la fusión nuclear de ganancia neta positiva, es algo que no hemos hecho nunca. Y hay dos razones de peso para eso. Primero, los temas de física nuclear son altamente sofisticados y requieren de expertos altamente especializados a los que no tenemos acceso regularmente, y segundo —y más importante— este tipo de noticia no salen en los medios regularmente. Sobre todo, no de esta magnitud. El descubrimiento que acaba de anunciar el pasado martes 13 de diciembre la Secretaria de Energía de los Estados Unidos, Jennifer Granholm es comparable en magnitud al del alunizaje del Apollo 11 sobre la luna, el 20 de julio del 1969, la invención del teléfono en el 1876, las observaciones planetarias de Galileo en el 1610 y el descubrimiento del logaritmo en el 1614 y la invención del paracaídas en el 1485 por Leonardo DaVinci, a pesar de que para la época no existía el avión siquiera. Fíjate que entre descubrimiento y descubrimiento transcurrió más de un siglo, y en algunos casos ha habido siglos que han pasado sin pena ni gloria, como fue el caso del siglo 18. La fusión nuclear no es un concepto nuevo. De hecho, la bomba de hidrógeno —que tan temida es en el mundo militar— funciona a base de ese concepto. El problema hasta ahora es que se había tratado de una reacción perdidosa. es decir, que requería aplicar más energía de la que se producía. El verdadero logro de los científicos del Laboratorio Nacional de Lawrence Livermore en California, es que alcanzaron la “Ignición Mediante Fusión”, una reacción controlada en la que la energía producida sobrepasó la energía invertida. Y todo esto dentro de un ambiente contenido. ¿Y por qué esto es importante? Porque se espera que la fusión nuclear sea la contestación a la encrucijada energética que enfrenta la humanidad y que ponga punto final al uso de combustibles fósiles como lo ha hecho la humanidad hasta ahora.   Como sabes, llevo algún tiempo cogiéndolo un poco más suave con Hablando De Tecnología. No porque se me hayan agotado las ideas o el entusiasmo, sino porque he estado invirtiendo tiempo en otros proyectos como mi página de turismo Puerto Rico By GPS. Pero esta noticia era demasiado importante. Y créeme, esto sí es tecnología como la definimos en el programa “la ciencia al servicio de la humanidad”. mejor ejemplo no existe.

Every word of this podcast is wrong. Five years ago, a Star Wars movie premiered that may have divided fandom more than any that has come before or since. This week we revisit The Last Jedi and discuss what we liked, didn't, and how you can Enjoy Stuff!   Are you a fan of The Last Jedi? Do you pretend it doesn't exist? Or are you able to still be a fan, no matter what your opinion? This week we look at the divisive movie and break down the pros and cons….and have fun while doing it!   News RIP to some beloved educators and entertainers. Sesame Street's Bob McGrath and talented actress Kirstie Alley have passed away William Gibson's novel Neuromancer is coming as a series to Apple TV+ The Goonies house has sold for $1.5 Million to a real collector! Indiana Jones gets a name (Dial of Destiny) and a trailer   Make sure you check out our TeePublic store to get ready for the holidays and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua thinks they made some good decisions on how to construct the new Disney+ Willow series. The warmth, humor, and slightly-lighter than you'd expect a fantasy is what he is looking for. Jay thought that the Leonardo DaVinci exhibit at the Biltmore Mansion in North Carolina was a very cool experience. Immerse yourself in the geniusness of the legendary artist.    Sci-Fi Saturdays/MCU Location Scout Starship Troopers (1997) was a fun romp through a future where humanity is fighting for their lives against giant bugs that are the scourge of the galaxy! (Would you like to know more?) There are new locations for the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special on MCU Location Scout.   Enjoy Movies! In 2017 our Christmas present was another new Star Wars movie. Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi presented a very different idea of how a Star Wars story could be told. It's themes of failure as mentors, shades of gray, and hope are great messages in stories. The effects and designs were stunning. And the future of the galaxy was given a path.    Yet, the movie was not necessarily well-received (insert understatement here). Fans were torn as they moved to both sides of the spectrum further than ever before. Some didn't like the humor. Some didn't like the performances. And some really didn't like how our original heroes were treated.    Jay and Shua break down a lot of these discussion topics and expose themselves by sharing their opinion about the film.  Are you able to Enjoy The Last Jedi? Has it changed your perspective of fandom? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Reach out” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

What is a polymath?  Some people have never heard of the word polymath, and they need to. Many of the world's most famous scientists and thinkers were polymaths. People who had a wide range of interests and who could turn their hand to most things and explore it all. Think of Leonardo Da Vinci and many of the great thinkers who have changed our world. The derogatory name for a polymath is the jack of all trades and the master of none.   That was a label I carried for years, sort of given to me by my mother and hinted at by a few people over the years. That is the point have the ability to do many things, and it is time to celebrate my diversity. Our show today has no guest; it is about my polymathery and how the podcast is changing so that I can explore my passions and interest. Check out the show as we explore where we are going next. It is all very exciting. As I said on the show if you have thoughts, about or direction, a favourite show or you are a polymath.

Five centuries after his death, Leonardo Da Vinci is attracting more attention for his art, his science and his mechanical inventiveness than ever. Humanities West celebrates his continuing cultural contributions with an encore presentation of "Leonardo's Legacy," our February 2019 program, again featuring Martin Kemp, a world-renowned Leonardo scholar, who will treat us this time to his latest research on Leonardo's study of the science of optics and how that study influenced his artistic creations. And Deborah Loft will reprise her popular lecture, "Leonardo's Artistic Legacy: Homage and Irony," which looks at the visual elements that make his work distinctive, and follows his significance through time to our contemporary culture.

Concierto/Viernes Temáticos: Música visual (II). Leonardo da Vinci: la música de lo invisible. . Pintor, escultor, arquitecto, ingeniero, pionero del vuelo, anatomista, científico: estos fueron, entre otros, los innumerables oficios con los que Leonardo da Vinci desarrolló su talento. Pero una de sus primeras biografías (Giorgio Vasari) ya señalaba que su primer trabajo fuera de Florencia había sido el de músico. En este concierto, se proyectan imágenes de creaciones de Leonardo mientras I Fagiolini interpreta obras, tanto de su época como posteriores, que incitan a contemplar el arte a través del prisma del sonido. Se plasma así en la práctica una premisa del propio Leonardo: “La música no puede considerarse sino la hermana de la pintura”. Explore en canal.march.es el archivo completo de Conferencias en la Fundación Juan March: casi 3.000 conferencias, disponibles en audio, impartidas desde 1975.

Leonardo Da Vinci es considerada una de las personas más creativa de la historia. Su mente inquieta y su curiosidad le llevaron a ser pintor, arquitecto, escritor, escultor, filósofo, inventor, músico… Y muchas otras cosas más a lo largo de su vida. Y no solamente esto, sino que se convirtió en una referencia en varias […] La entrada Así es una marca creativa – CREATIVIDAD #231 se publicó primero en Toni Colom.

Quando se fala em Renascimento, normalmente a imagem que vem à mente das pessoas que têm ao menos alguma noção do que se trata é a de pintores e escultores geniais, como Leonardo Da Vinci e Michelangelo Buonarroti. No entanto, o Renascimento foi muito mais do que meramente um movimento artístico. Seus impactos vão da cultura e das artes à economia e arquitetura, em um contexto de resgate de uma antiguidade idealizada. E ainda há o debate sobre este ser apenas um de muitos renascimentos ocorridos em outros lugares. Convidamos a Prof. Sara Tatiane para conversar sobre esse movimento e responder essas e outras questões.

Es probablemente la persona con el mayor número de talentos en diferentes disciplinas que haya existido nunca. Leonardo Da Vinci fue pintor, escultor, ingeniero, anatomista, arquitecto, botánico, poeta, filósofo… y os vamos a contar también como ha dejado su huella en el cine y la televisión. Nuestra sección de aniversarios nos recuerda que hace 75 años fallecía uno de los genios de la comedia cinematográfica como fue Ernst Lubitsch, autor de películas como 'Ninotchka' o 'Ser o no ser'. Charlamos con la actriz Lola Marceli sobre cómo se hacen las escenas de desnudo en los rodajes y Jack Bourbon nos trae en “Cine incómodo” una de las películas malditas por excelencia del cine americano: 'El conquistador de Mongolia', cuyo rodaje tuvo lugar en una zona contaminada por la radiación atómica.

What I learned from reading Hackers and Painters: Big Ideas From The Computer Age by Paul Graham Subscribe to listen to Founders Daily (my new daily podcast)[4:00] How To Make Wealth by Paul Graham [4:01] Wealth is stuff we want: food, clothes, houses, cars, gadgets, travel to interesting places, and so on. You can have wealth without having money. If you had a magic machine that could on command make you a car or cook you dinner or do your laundry, or do anything else you wanted, you wouldn't need money. Whereas if you were in the middle of Antarctica, where there is nothing to buy, it wouldn't matter how much money you had.[6:00] All a company is is a group of people working together to do something people want.[7:00] It turns out, though, that there are economies of scale in how much of your life you devote to your work. In the right kind of business, someone who really devoted himself to work could generate ten or even a hundred times as much wealth as an average employee.[8:00] And the people you work with had better be good, because it's their work that yours is going to be averaged with.[9:00] In the Company of Giants: Candid Conversations With the Visionaries of the Digital World by Rama Dev Jager and Rafael Ortiz.  (Founders #208)[10:00] A very able person who does care about money will ordinarily do better to go off and work with a small group of peers.[10:00] Paul Graham's Essays (Founders #275)[11:00] What is technology? It's technique. It's the way we all do things.[12:00] Sam Walton got rich not by being a retailer, but by designing a new kind of store.[12:00] Sam Walton epiosdes#150 Sam Walton: The Inside Story of America's Richest Man by Vance H. Trimble.#234 Sam Walton: Made In America by Sam Walton.[13:00] Use difficulty as a guide not just in selecting the overall aim of your company, but also at decision points along the way. At Viaweb one of our rules of thumb was run upstairs. Suppose you are a little, nimble guy being chased by a big, fat, bully. You open a door and find yourself in a staircase. Do you go up or down? I say up. The bully can probably run downstairs as fast as you can. Going upstairs his bulk will be more of a disadvantage. Running upstairs is hard for you but even harder for him.[14:00] So few businesses really pay attention to making customers happy.[15:00] What people will give you money for depends on them, not you.[16:00] Hackers and Painters by Paul Graham[20:00] The other way makers learn is from examples. For a painter, a museum is a reference library of techniques. For hundreds of years it has been part of the traditional education of painters to copy the works of the great masters, because copying forces you to look closely at the way a painting is made.[21:00] Relentelssness wins. A great product has to be better than it has to be.[21:00] Relentlessness Wins: Many painters might have thought, this is just something to put in the background to frame her head. No one will look that closely at it.Not Leonardo. How hard he worked on part of a painting didn't depend at all on how closely he expected anyone to look at it. He was like Michael Jordan. Relentless.Relentlessness wins because, in the aggregate, unseen details become visible.[22:00] All those unseen details combine to produce something that's just stunning, like a thousand barely audible voices all singing in tune.[24:00] The right way to collaborate, I think, is to divide projects into sharply defined modules, each with a definite owner, and with interfaces between them that are as carefully designed and, if possible, as articulated as programming languages.[25:00] It turns out that looking at things from other people's point of view is practically the secret of success.[25:00] You only get one life. You might as well spend it working on something great.[26:00] The Other Road Ahead by Paul Graham [26:00] Subscribe to listen to Founders Daily (my new daily podcast)[29:00] Use your product yourself all the time.[29:00] Mind The Gap by Paul Graham[29:00] When people care enough about something to do it well, those who do it best tend to be far better than everyone else. There's a huge gap between Leonardo da Vinci and second-rate contemporaries.[32:00] Technology will certainly increase the gap between the productive and the unproductive.[33:00] So we should expect to see ever-increasing variation in individual productivity as time goes on.[34:00] Paul Graham's answer to how big of a difference can a single developer or a small team make?The answer is increasingly much. Increasingly much.Achrimedes said if he had a lever long enough he could move the world.Well nowawadys from your bedroom —thanks to all the infrastucture that exists — a combination of open source and services like AWS — the lever is enourmoulsy long.You could be sitting in your bedroom programming … a single person … and if you make something that people like and is novel it can really have a huge effect.That is very exiciting. You guys may take this for granted but anybody who is as old as me realizes how that was not the case 20 years ago.It will be interesting to see how far it goes because it is certainly not over yet.(How far can it go?)Always further than people expect.[37:00] Beating The Averages by Paul Graham [37:00] Paul Graham on Econtalk: I found that the interesting parts of programming you can't make scientific. [Startups are the same.] What makes a programmer good at programming is more like what makes a painter good at painting. It is something a little less organized. It is taste. A sense of design. A certain knack.[40:00] In business, there is nothing more valuable than a technical advantage your competitors don't understand.[40:00] A startup should give its competitors as little information as possible.[41:00] Taste For Makers by Paul Graham[42:00] Whatever job people do, they naturally want to do better.[43:00] It's surprising how much different fields' ideas of beauty have in common. The same principles of good design crop up again and again.[44:00] If something is ugly, it can't be the best solution.[46:00] In most fields the appearance of ease seems to come with practice. Perhaps what practice does is train your unconscious mind to handle tasks that used to require conscious thought.[48:00] "It is my opinion," Ferrari once wrote, "that there are innate gifts that are a peculiarity of certain regions and that, transferred into industry, these propensities may at times acquire an exceptional importance... In Modena, where I was born and set up my own works, there is a species of psychosis for racing cars." — Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans by A.J. Baime. (Founders #97)[50:00] The recipe for great work is: very exacting taste, plus the ability to gratify it.I use Readwise to organize and remember everything I read.

In 19th century American cities, the smell of rapid industrial growth was overwhelming. This was particularly concerning, because at the time, people thought smells actually caused disease. Melanie Kiechle tells us about the official smell committees that were created to track down offensive odors and the lengths cities went to in order to cover those smells up. And: Buried in a folio of a 15th century monk's writing is a poem about the absolutely annoying noise of blacksmiths–not just the pounding of their hammers, but the gnaw and gnash of their voices. Adin Lears explores the noises of early English voices and writing. Later in the show: Leonardo DaVinci is often thought of as a painter who later became a scientist. But Francesca Fiorani argues that DaVinci was obsessed from his artistic beginning with the science of sight. Indeed, his paintings were a kind of lab experiment in light, shadow, and perception. Plus: We can learn a lot about cultures through their food. Kara Keeling and Scott Pollard have spent decades exploring the significance of food in children's literature, from Winnie the Pooh's honey pot to Ojibwe rice gathering in Louise Erdrich's The Birchbark House.

Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa has been described as, “the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world.” She's been immortalized in everything from Andy Warhol's pop art to Dan Brown's bestselling novel, The Da Vinci Code. But there was a time when the Mona Lisa was not well known, if you can imagine – and it took a man named Vincenzo Peruggia to launch her into stardom. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the tradition of The Lady in Gold and The Hare with Amber Eyes, the remarkable history behind one of the world's most beloved paintings, Leonardo da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine More than half a millennium ago, a young woman sat before a Grecian-nosed artist known as Leonardo da Vinci. Her name was Cecilia Gallerani, and she was the fourteen-year-old mistress of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan. Her lover, a ruthless man, was aware that da Vinci's brilliance as a painter would not only capture his mistress's beauty but reflect his own political prowess. Indeed, with this beguiling painting--in which Gallerani holds a strange white ermine close to her breast--da Vinci revolutionized the genre, changing not just what a portrait looked like, but also its purpose. But despite the work's importance in its own time, no records of it from the three hundred years following Gallerini's death exist. In What the Ermine Saw: The Extraordinary Journey of Leonardo Da Vinci's Most Mysterious Portrait (Doubleday Books, 2022), Eden Collinsworth illuminates the eventual history of this exquisite oil painting, as it journeyed from one owner to the next--from the brutal Milanese Duke to a Polish noblewoman to the Nazis, who added it to Hitler's private collection, to the Czartoryski Museum in Krakow where it is currently displayed. Along the way, Collinsworth reveals a bewildering maze of social alliances and cultural upheavals, polarizing political divisions and territorial fragmentation. Expertly researched and deftly told, What the Ermine Saw is an enthralling account of Renaissance Italy and its actors, a comprehensive study of artistry and innovation, and a reminder that genius, power, and beauty always have a price.

When mindfulness, creativity, and innovation come together, the result is powerful leadership and impactful inventions that can change the world.   Faisal Hoque is the founder of SHADOKA, NextChapter, and other companies that focus on enabling sustainable and transformational changes. Throughout his career, he has developed over 20 commercial business and technology platforms and worked with public and private sector giants.   His bestselling book, Everything Connects: Cultivating Mindfulness, Creativity, & Innovation for Long-Term Value (Fast Company), is currently #2 on Wall Street Journal and USA Today.   Faisal grew up in Bangladesh and his world travel has inspired him to write several books with a focus on individual and organizational leadership, creating long-term value, and resilience.   Deep, daily mindfulness about our intentions and actions is essential. Faisal highlights the example of Leonardo DaVinci — he was constantly striving to determine who he was as an artist, sculptor, engineer, and entrepreneur, and then apply it to his real life. Mindfulness about your value-add is absolutely essential as you work to make meaningful contributions in the world.   Generically, mindfulness applies to awareness of where our mind lands, but more specifically it applies to our self-awareness and acting intentionally rather than merely in reaction to external forces. Mindfulness impacts not only you but every relationship you are in.   Faisal calls empathy the foundation of transformational leadership. Leaders are self-aware, they are influential, and they are looking for ways to recognize and utilize the talents of others. Without effective mindfulness of the self, leaders can't expect to be effective in leading or inspiring others.   Interview Links: Faisal Hoque   Resources: 20,000 Scaleups Scaling Up Summits (Select Bill Gallagher as your coach during registration for a discount.)

Today's ID the Future completes a talk by award-winning British engineer Stuart Burgess, who explains how the human ankle and wrist joints offer powerful evidence of engineering genius. Burgess is answering evolutionist Nathan Lents, who has argued that human joints are badly designed and, therefore, evidence against intelligent design and for Darwinian evolution's blind trial-and-error process. According to Burgess, Lents ignores—and seems to be ignorant of—the many ingeniously engineered features of our joints, leading Lents to make easily refuted claims. For example, Lents says an ankle with fused bones would be a superior design to a healthy human ankle. Not if the person hopes to play squash or tackle any number of other activities that require the suppleness and responsiveness of Read More › Source

On this ID the Future, Stuart Burgess, one of Britain’s top engineers, explains how the skeletal joints in the human body are masterpieces of intelligent design. He also responds to claims by some evolutionists that human joints are badly designed and supposedly evidence of Darwinian evolution's blind trial-and-error process. This presentation was taped at the 2022 Westminster Conference on Science and Faith in the greater Philadelphia area, which was jointly sponsored by Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, and Westminster Theological Seminary. Here in Part 1, Burgess focuses on the ankle joint, showing that it packs an extraordinary amount of functionality into a small space, beyond anything human engineers have managed to achieve either in prosthetics or robotics.
