This time I talked to Ariel Aloni. He is a grandson of even two Bauhaus students: the architect, Arieh Sharon, probably the most famous Israeli architect, and the Bauhaus weaver Gunta Stölzl, the only woman who was successful in becoming a Bauhaus master.  As Ariel says: “There was no conversation with Sharon without the Bauhaus popping up!” And that is also true to his architecture. In his buildings in Israel and Nigeria Sharon still refers to what he had learned from Hannes Meyer and Hans Wittwer at the Bauhaus, and then elevated the concept by adapting to the climatic conditions that were very different from Northern Europe. In Nigeria he went even further and added also architectural aspects of the local Yoruba tribe.  After a career of nearly 60 years as an architect Arieh Sharon left roughly 800 buildings and is today known as the father of Israeli architecture and as one of the consequent pursuers of Tropical Modernism. He is less known for his work as a construction site manager for the ADGB Trade Union School in Bernau near Berlin, but we will get to that project, too.  There is no Israeli architecture prize that Sharon did not win. And even today everyone in Israel knows who Arieh Sharon is. It is time we get to him, as well.  Website on Arieh Sharon ariehsharon.org  Exhibition "Arieh Sharon – From the Bauhaus into the World" bauhaus-denkmal-bernau.de bauhaus imaginista Online Journal bauhaus-imaginista.org Cover for this episode: © ariehsharon.org

Are you working on any blank pages in life right now? Be it a project to begin, a dream to chase, or a town to settle into - we all stare at these hypothetical blank pages at some point in our lives.  Honoring these blank pages is a common thread woven through each episode of the Your Brand of Beautiful Podcast, which is why this first mini-epsiode is so fitting! About once a month, you can expect a mini-episode to drop where I will read one of my online journal entries (which are found on my website, in case you're wondering!) Our first mini-epsisode is titled: Another Blank Page. If you especially love these shorter episodes, let us know! It always helps to hear what you think.

What happens when a “natural” task suddenly feels “foreign”?? For many musicians struggling with injury, the feeling of “not knowing your own body” is very common. But this feeling is usually even more prominent in those suffering from Focal Dystonia - in which their brain literally switches or crosses signals to the body! In this episode of the Tuned and Strong Podcast, Dr. Joanna Cowan White shares with us her experience of developing, living with, and recovering from focal dystonia. Join us as she discusses her thoughts, feelings, experiments, and creative outlets during her journey to reclaim her performance abilities!

2021 geht zu Ende - und wir blicken zurück auf die erste Staffel Kasha Today. Was blieb ungesagt, was haben wir neu entdeckt, wie bringen wir dieses große Russland wirklich herüber? Bleibt gespannt auf die nächste Staffel und heiße Themen 2022. Links und Tips 7 x 7: Online-Journal zu russischen Regionen CETKA Plattform

#RechtFrei ist unsere neue Rubrik, in der wir alltagsnahe Rechtsthemen für Bürger:innen betrachten. Die eigene Freiheit endet da, wo die Rechte der Anderen anfangen. Doch muss man die Rechtslage kennen, um seine Freiheit so zu leben, dass alle recht Frei sein können in unserer schönen Stadt Marburg. Doch nutzen wir auch alle Freiheiten und Hilfen, die uns zustehen? Daniel führt euch durch die Themen, sucht einerseits nach gelungenen Projekten rund ums Recht, berichtet andererseits auch über Aufreger aus der Rubrik #RechtFrei. Und er lädt in unregelmäßigen Abständen Gäste vom Fach ein, um euch die rechtliche Seite des Stadtalltages näher zu bringen. In dieser zweiten Folge nimmt Daniel euch mit auf einen Ausflug hinein in eine Zeitschrift mit dem Untertitel „Wir machen Jura für Nichtjuristen“. Legal Layman heißt das Blatt, was so viel bedeutet wie juristischer Laie. Anna Murk und Justin Völkel bilden die Chefredaktion und stemmen gemeinsam mit Redakteurin Katharina Zimmermann das Projekt. Die drei sind juristische Fachleute und haben sich auf die Fahnen geschrieben, Jura und Recht anderen Menschen so zu vermitteln, dass diese es verstehen. Die Zeitschrift könnt ihr kostenfrei unter dem Link: https://legallayman.de/zeitschrift/ lesen und bekommt so niederschwellig wichtige Themen des Alltags juristisch erklärt. Ein Baustein von Annas Dienstleistungen im Namen einer verständlichen Sprache des Rechts ist die Gründung der Zeitschrift Legal Layman im vergangenen Jahr. Es gibt sie ausschließlich im Netz als Online-Journal, kommt jedoch sehr wertig daher und könnte sicher 1:1 in eine Print-Variante überführt werden. Fünf Ausgaben der Zeitschrift sind bislang erschienen. „Legal Layman – Wir machen Jura für Nichtjuristen“, lautet das Motto von Wirtschaftsjuristin Anna und ihrem Redaktionsteam. Und weil das Recht nicht nur Jurist:innen, sondern alle betrifft, sollten auch alle es verstehen können. Ein toller Ansatz und eine gelungene Umsetzung in Form der Zeitschrift Legal Layman. Falls ihr Fragen rund um das Thema Bürger:innenrechte in der Stadt habt, die ihr schon immer beantwortet haben wolltet, dann schreibt uns unter: menschen.aus.marburg@gmail.com.

Summary Video conferencing has rapidly increased in popularity, but the cognitive and attentional load can make it exhausting. In this week’s Leadership Today podcast we look at five ways to stop Zoom killing your focus.    Transcript Hello and welcome to episode 92 of the Leadership Today podcast where each week we tackle one of today’s biggest leadership challenges. This week we look at five ways to stop Zoom killing your focus.  Zoom and other video conferencing services have seen a rapid rise in popularity. People have flocked to video conferencing as the next best thing to a face-to-face meeting, particularly when trying to build social connection. During a global pandemic, video conferencing has proven to be a lifesaver for many people forced to work from home. It’s a testament to the quality of Zoom that the brand name is now synonymous with web-based video conferencing. We are becoming increasingly dependent on access to Zoom, as evidenced by a recent outage that disrupted millions of people including online schooling and businesses.  And Zoom isn’t just a back up for when we can’t be face-to-face. Research conducted last year showed Zoom was rated positively for qualitative data collection in health care interviews, coming in ahead of face-to-face, phone and other video conferencing options when they factored efficiency into the equation. Amidst all of that success and celebration there are recurring and largely anecdotal concerns emerging about the impact of video conferencing on our attention and energy levels. People report feeling drained and exhausted at the end of a full day of Zoom calls. It’s too early for there to be specific research about why this might be the case, but the field of attention research gives us some clues to why Zoom is killing our ability to focus. Let’s face it, weird things happen on Zoom calls that would never happen in a ‘real’ meeting. We see people fixing their hair as they stare at themselves. People keep looking away from the camera to a second screen so you end up having a conversation with their ear. People eating anything looks disgusting - seriously, stop eating while using Zoom. We see people talking but no words are coming out - you’re on mute! Surprise people and their pets appear out of nowhere. People keep trying to talk at the same time which leads to a flurry of “no, no, you go first”. As we look behind people it feels like we are in a dozen different rooms at once. And, while we’re talking backgrounds, why not include an even more distracting virtual background? Sure, you’re on a beach, or drifting through space. In a sign of just how confused we are, we even feel the need to wave goodbye at the end of a Zoom call. It’s exhausting. What are the challenges of Zoom calls, or indeed most other video conferencing tools? There are three main issues: Visual distractions. We are not used to seeing ourselves in action, and it’s easy to become fixated, or at least distracted, by how we look. It’s easy for the meeting to then feel like a performance. Simultaneously seeing multiple faces is also strange. We wouldn’t normally have people lined up in a grid like the start of the Brady Bunch, but rather be attending to one or two faces at any point in time. Reseach has repeatedly demonstrated that visual distractions significantly decrease our ability to focus and increase stress. Auditory distractions. The inability for everyone to speak at once is a real issue. The small delays and “loudest person wins” nature of Zoom make auditory processing a challenge. The audio itself is of a higher quality than a typical phone call, but it still feels more draining than a landline phone call due to these artefacts.  You can’t look into someone’s eyes. I might try to fake eye contact by staring at the camera, but then I can’t see you. Thankfully, research demonstrates that people are lousy at figuring out if we’re making eye contact in real life anyway. In fact researchers found that we can’t pick the difference between someone looking into our eyes versus looking predominantly at our mouth. But on Zoom, the distance between the camera and the person’s face is larger than a real human face - the effect of not making eye contact is more pronounced. All of this leads to an increased cognitive and attentional load. We end up suffering from what researchers call continuous partial attention. So Zoom - is it worth it? That largely depends on the work and what you’re trying to achieve. If you’re after interaction, trust and engagement, it’s hard to beat face-to-face. If face-to-face is not possible, Zoom is a great backup. We just need to recognise and manage the risks. In particularly we need to minimise visual distractions - research has show that this leads to a 16% boost in performance for time-sensitive, high focus work, while also reducing stress by 18%. Reducing auditory distractions will also help.  So how do we reduce distractions and the cognitive and attentional load of Zoom calls and meetings. Here are five suggestions: Hide the self view. Check that your video feed looks okay at the start of the call, then use the menu on your own image so you can no longer see yourself. Just keep in mind that others can still see you - there’s a reason webcams have little lights on them to show when you’re on. Search Zoom call fails on YouTube for some great examples. Use the speaker view. Rather than having everyone on screen at once in equal size boxes, shift to just being able to see the speaker. I’ve found this really helps me to focus on one person at a time, rather than trying to attend to a sea of faces. Mute when not speaking. Muting yourself reduces the audio distractions for others. We need to treat a Zoom call like it’s not fully duplex, particularly as group sizes increase. Despite any claims to the contrary, the experience of multiple people trying to speak at once is far more painful on Zoom than in real life.  Make it interactive. In the field of online learning there’s a popular myth that people can’t attend to any video that’s longer than 6 minutes. There doesn’t seem to be much concrete evidence to back that up and, in fact, research shows that you can increase beyond that easily by making the video more interactive. The same principle applies to Zoom calls. Use polls, chat, breakout rooms, annotations, reactions - anything to spice things up and make it less of a presentation. Reduce the length of your meetings. Recognise the cognitive and attentional load by making meetings shorter. As a rule of thumb I reduce the length of Zoom calls by a third to what I would expect people to engage in face-to-face. And if none of that works, hey, here’s a crazy idea - why not try a phone conference call instead? Use a bit of variety and gain ideas and input from your team about how to improve things. Now I’m sure a lot of these technical issues will become smoothed out over time. Someone will figure out how to mount a camera behind a screen to mimic face-to-face, and I’m sure the audio challenges will reduced. Perhaps people will listen back at this episode in 5 years and think - well, how quaint! However, keep in mind the broader principle that focus and distractions are enemies. Anything we can do to reduce visual and auditory distractions at work are going to make a difference, whether it’s online or in an office. What have been your Zoom experiences? Make contact via the Leadership.Today website and let me know. I love a good story. Have a great week.   References Archibald, M. M., Ambagtsheer, R. C., Casey, M. G., & Lawless, M. (2019).

Kay Dickersin knew she was leaping to the front lines of scholarly publication when she joined The Online Journal of Current Clinical Trials. Scientific print-publishing was—and still is—slow and cumbersome, and reading its results sometimes required researchers to go to the library. But as associate editor at this electronic peer-reviewed journal—one of the very first, launched in the summer of 1992—Dickersin was poised to help bring scientists into the new digital age.

Alexandre Ritter has become a champion of Armando Trovajoli's work Sconcerto. Once you hear this amazing piece, you'll understand why.   Written for Franco Petracchi, this work has been largely unplayed until Alex got his hands on it. The process was complex, but Alex worked it out to record the entire piece and publish it on YouTube.  This piece is destined to become one of the major concert works for orchestra.  It's jazzy, colorful, mysterious, and magical.  But that's not all Alex is doing these days. We dig deep into Bille, how Alex uses it in his teaching, and we get into the debate of using the 3rd finger in the lower positions like what’s printed in Bille—Alex makes a compelling case for it. While we were talking, he actually grabbed the bass and played through several examples for me! Alex and I also talk about the experience of leaving Brazil to study in Georgia, how philosophy has influenced his thinking, job prospects in Brazil, and much more!

Ep. 59: Special Guest Jen Rulon Coach & 9x Ironman Athlete Today I interview 9 time ironman athlete and accomplished triathlon coach, Jen Rulon, about the importance of strength training for endurance events, proper timing for carb loading, and her most recent experience as a TEDx presenter. TOPICS: 1. Introducing our guest, Jen Rulon [3:36] 2. Benefits of strength training [8:59] 3. How much rest is enough for recovery [13:24] 4. Using nutrition for recovery [17:18] 5. Carb loading before an endurance event [24:13] 6. Jen’s TEDx Talk [26:53] 7. Quick tips for getting started endurance training [40:29] Cassy Joy: Good morning everybody! I’m excited to be back. I took a little bit of a hiatus; a break so I could get some work done on my book, but we’re back, better than ever. I decided that I really want to enter into a phase where I am interviewing some of the people who I love and respect in this industry, and one of the first names that came to mind is a dear friend of mine. Her name is Jen Rulon, and Jen and I both live in San Antonio, Texas, and she’s an incredible lady for a lot of reasons. But just to give you a brief bulleted overview, and then I’m going to let Jen take it away, tell you a little bit more about herself, but she is a 9-time Ironman athlete. The lady is just incredible. I’m constantly in awe of watching her incredible successes with these events. She’s also a coach; she’s coached and motivated athletes not only to get their first triathlon, but some of them to get up to their third ironman triathlon. And she really does an incredible job of guiding her athletes to learn beyond the physical aspects of just doing the training and the event itself. She has learned how to structure live with the Ironman triathlon training, so really how to combine, I know that’s a passion of hers; how to look past just the training and incorporate it with your everyday life, and I’m going to have her tell you more about that. But she received her Master’s degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in exercise science, and started her business, JenRulon.com. You will also see some of her knowledge shared in Runner’s World, Men’s Online Journal, WebMD, and she was just most recently a TEDx speaker. I’m so thrilled to introduce you guys to the very sweet, very knowledgeable, and very strong Jen Rulon. Thank you so much for coming on the show, Jen. Jen Rulon: Thanks for having me, Cassy. Wow, what an introduction. It’s pretty crazy, sometimes as a business owner, as an athlete you just sort of sit there, and you’re like, “oh, I need to do this better, I need to do that more.” And I’m like, dang, I’ve done a lot! {laughs} Cassy Joy: Yeah you have! That’s so funny. It’s so true, it’s so true. We sit down at our computers, and we work; us type-A trying to make it better and better personalities. It’s pretty cool to sit back. You have accomplished a lot, and I’ve always admired you. I was thinking about it; I moved back to San Antonio and started working at LuLuLemon. Jen Rulon: Yeah. Cassy Joy: Which I think is where you and I first connected. Jen Rulon: That’s correct. Cassy Joy: Is it? Ok. And that was almost 7 years ago. Jen Rulon: Has it been that long? Cassy Joy: {laughs} Isn’t that incredible? Jen Rulon: Oh my goodness. Wow. We’ve done a lot, girl! Cassy Joy: We have. A lot has happened. You know, in 2011 I started Fed and Fit, so that’s happened. We just; a lot has happened.
