Send us a textYou've been tossing mindset seeds onto concrete, wondering why they won't grow. Walton & Yeager's research confirms that powerful beliefs—like “you belong here” or “you can grow”—won't take root just because we say them. Beliefs need fertile ground. When your culture, systems, or norms contradict your message, people don't just ignore it—they lose trust in your leadership.

fWotD Episode 2837: Japanese battleship Tosa Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 9 February 2025 is Japanese battleship Tosa.Tosa (土佐) was a planned battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Designed by Yuzuru Hiraga, Tosa was to be the first of two Tosa-class ships. Displacing 39,900-long-ton (40,540 t) and armed with ten 410 mm (16.1 in) guns, these warships would have brought Japan closer to its goal of an "Eight-four" fleet (eight battleships and four battlecruisers). All work on the ship was halted after the Washington Naval Conference and the signing of the Washington Naval Treaty. As the vessel had to be destroyed in accordance with the terms of the treaty, it was subjected to various tests to gauge the effectiveness of Japanese weaponry before being scuttled on 9 February 1925.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:35 UTC on Sunday, 9 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Japanese battleship Tosa on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ivy.

Lorenzo Tosa, Paolo Paticchio"Il treno della memoria"In viaggio per diventare i testimoni di domaniDeAgostini Libriwww.deagostinilibri.itIn un freddo gennaio del 2005, un diciottenne del Sud Italia attraversa i cancelli di Auschwitz per la prima volta, ignaro che quel momento segnerà la sua vita per sempre. Nei vent'anni successivi, grazie al Treno della Memoria, Paolo si troverà a guidare tanti gruppi di giovani attraverso le ferite del Novecento e i luoghi simbolo dell'orrore nazista, in un percorso che si snoda tra Berlino, Cracovia e il campo di concentramento di Auschwitz-Birkenau.Ma questo viaggio non è soltanto un ritorno al passato: è un'avventura unica che porta i ragazzi e le ragazze a confrontarsi con il presente, con il silenzio, con la Memoria e le ombre di chi non è più tornato. Tra emozioni e momenti di condivisione, Paolo osserva le loro reazioni: c'è Nicola, sempre nascosto sotto al suo cappuccio nero; c'è Matilde, piena di curiosità e spirito critico e c'è Halima, che accanto ai disegni dei bambini di Terezín appende quello di una mamma e di un figlio migranti, sospesi su una barca in mezzo al mare.Tra lacrime e interrogativi, nuove amicizie e abbracci scambiati davanti ai blocchi di cemento di un memoriale o fuori da una famosa fabbrica, ognuno di loro tornerà a casa cambiato.Questo libro nasce dai tanti Treni della Memoria che hanno attraversato l'Europa sino a oggi e vuole essere una chiamata a non dimenticare, ma anzi a vigilare, da “testimoni dei testimoni”, sull'eredità di ciò che è stato e tramandarla.Lorenzo TosaGiornalista e scrittore, già direttore di «Next Quotidiano», attualmente collabora in Italia con «Style Magazine», periodico del «Corriere della Sera», e in Francia con «Radici».

She calls out the traditional "one-size-fits-all" approach for what it is—a waste of time and money—and demands a paradigm shift.Slayton exposes the systemic barriers holding educators back. She dares us to disrupt the status quo, arguing that only by addressing these deep-rooted issues can we empower teachers to grow and thrive. With transformative frameworks like Levels of Readiness and Feedback Stages, she challenges leaders to rethink how we support teachers' growth, meeting them where they are and guiding them toward adaptive, lasting change.Upcoming Coaching Conferences:VASCD Power of Coaching ConferenceSimply Coaching Summit (this is currently being rescheduled- check back soon for more information and a new link!)Let's Stay Connected!Website | Instagram | Twitter | Linkedin | Facebook | Contact Us

Marie Tosa, a postdoctoral researcher in the department of botany and plant pathology at Oregon State University, spent two and a half years trapping and tracking the movements of western spotted skunks across thousands of acres in forests in the western Cascades, roughly 60 miles east of Eugene.   Little is known about the small, nocturnal carnivores which weigh between one and two pounds and burrow inside logs and hollows to avoid predators like bobcats and owls. Tosa’s field work unearthed new information about the behavior of these skunks, including a home range of up to 12 square miles they can cover while hunting for food. She also found that western spotted skunks may be vulnerable to extreme winters, which are becoming more frequent due to climate change, and the importance of old growth forests for their habitat. Tosa joins us to share more of her findings and remaining questions about their resilience to climate change.

Send us a textEver wonder how some schools just seem to have it all figured out? It's not about special circumstances. It's about the people – the teachers. And according to Dr. Shannon Lafargue, the key to unlocking their full potential lies in fostering a culture of collective teacher efficacy with a strong coaching growth culture.In this episode we will discuss how Dr. LaFargue created a supportive environment where teachers felt empowered, valued, and inspired to do their best work. It's time to ditch the traditional "accountability" model in favor of a more collaborative approach, replacing it with "observation coaching". We often talk about the need to buil;d collective teacher efficacy, but not often do we talk about how.

When developing a business centered around Japanese prints, there are many factors to consider: the audience, the history, and how you want to be perceived by the public. The appeal of the Japanese aesthetic, along with your own personal aesthetic and brand identity, can also be just as important to your business. On this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with Malene Wagner, a gallerist, curator, writer, and art historian whose business operates under the name Tiger Tanuki. Malene shares her passion for collecting and selling Japanese prints, and we explore the European perspective on Japanese prints and printmaking. We also dive into Japanese aesthetics and how they are interpreted through a Western lens. Additionally, Malene discusses how these aesthetics influence her brand, Tiger Tanuki, the role history plays in shaping her business, and her upcoming book.

Simply click on the highlighted word or phrase. Artists works follow after the note if available. Pieces are mokuhanga unless otherwise noted. Dimensions are given if known. Print publishers are given if known. Malene Wagner & Tiger Tanuki - Instagram, website ukiyo-e - is a multi colour woodblock print generally associated with the Edo Period (1603-1867) of Japan. What began in the 17th Century as prints of only a few colours, evolved into an elaborate system of production and technique into the Meiji Period (1868-1912). With the advent of photography and other forms of printmaking, ukiyo-e as we know it today, ceased production by the late 19th Century.  Uniqlo -  a Japanese clothing brand known for its affordable, minimalist, and high-quality everyday wear. It focuses on functional designs, using innovative fabrics like Heattech for warmth and AIRism for breathability. Uniqlo is popular worldwide for offering essential wardrobe staples and often collaborates with well-known designers and artists to create unique collections. Clear Day With A Southern Breeze (1831) is a print usually known as "Red Fuji." From the series Thirty Six Views of Mt. Fuji this print was actually pink, red was used in later impressions by publisher Nishimuraya Yohachi.  The Great Wave off Kanagawa - is a woodblock print designed by Katsushika Hokusai in 1831. It is very famous.  Yayoi Kusama -  is a pioneering Japanese artist known for her immersive installations and polka dot motifs that explore themes of infinity, identity, and mental health. Born in 1929 in Matsumoto, Japan, Kusama began her artistic journey through painting and avant-garde practices, eventually moving to New York in the late 1950s, where she became a key figure in the pop art and feminist movements. Her works, range from large-scale installations like the "Infinity Mirror Rooms" to her vibrant sculptures and paintings. Kusama's art is a deeply personal expression of her own experiences with mental illness, transforming her obsessions into stunning visual experiences that resonate globally. Today, she is celebrated as one of the most influential contemporary artists, with exhibitions and installations that captivate audiences worldwide. From "Life Is The Heart of A Rainbow", Installation (2017) MANGA - was an exhibition from May 23 - August 26, 2019 held at the British Museum in London, England.  shin hanga - is a style of Japanese woodblock printmaking that emerged in the early 20th century, marking the end of the nishiki-e period. Originating around 1915 under the direction of Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962), the art form responded to the foreign demand for "traditional" Japanese imagery. Shin hanga artists focused on motifs like castles, bridges, famous landscapes, and bamboo forests. The style was initiated when Watanabe discovered Austrian artist Fritz Capelari (1884-1950) and commissioned him to design prints for Watanabe's budding printing house. This collaboration led to the evolution of shin hanga into a distinctive new style of Japanese woodblock printing. The shin hanga movement thrived until its inevitable decline after the Second World War (1939-1945). sōsaku-hanga - or creative prints, is a style of printmaking which is predominantly, although not exclusively, prints made by one person. It started in the early twentieth century in Japan, in the same period as the shin-hanga movement. The artist designs, carves, and prints their own works. The designs, especially in the early days, may seem rudimentary but the creation of self-made prints was a breakthrough for printmakers moving away from where only a select group of carvers, printers and publishers created woodblock prints.  Tomoo Inagaki (1902-1980) - introduced to mokuhanga by Onchi Kōshirō and Un'cihi Hiratsuka in 1923. Beginning in 1924, Inagaki published his first prints in magazines such as Shi to hanga (issue 13), Hanga (issues 6, 9/10, 11, 14), and Kitsutsuki, and exhibited with the Nihon Sôsaku-Hanga Kyôkai (Japan Creative Print Association). He became a member of the Nihon Hanga Kyôkai (Japan Print Association) in 1932 and participated in various post-war international competitions, including the Paris, Tokyo, and Lugano biennales. His cat prints have been highly collectible. More info can be found at Viewing Japanese Prints, here. The Rival Cats - 18" x 24" (1960's - 1970's) Oliver Statler (1915-2002) -  was an American author and scholar and collector of mokuhanga. He had been a soldier in World War 2, having been stationed in Japan. After his time in the war Statler moved back to Japan where he wrote about Japanese prints. His interests were of many facets of Japanese culture such as accommodation, and the 88 Temple Pilgrimage of Shikoku. Oliver Statler, in my opinion, wrote one of the most important books on the sōsaku-hanga movement, “Modern Japanese Prints: An Art Reborn.” Frances Blakemore (1906-1997) - was an American-born artist, writer, philanthropist and curator of modern Japanese mokuhanga. She lived in Japan for over fifty years and helped to support the burgeoning sōsaku hanga print movement of the 1950s. Blakemore worked in mokuhanga (collaborating with Watanabe Shōzaburō) and making self-printed and carved prints. She also worked in oils.  Japanese Bath (1937) - 11 7/8" x 9 5/8 " Yoshitomo Nara - is a renowned Japanese contemporary artist and is celebrated for his distinctive paintings and sculptures featuring figures with large heads and expressive eyes, often exploring themes of innocence, rebellion, and solitude.  Change The History (2007) acrylic on wood 74-7/16" × 55-1/2" × 3-1/8" Mingei - is a Japanese term that translates to "folk craft" or "people's art." It refers to a movement that emerged in the early 20th century, emphasizing the value and beauty of traditional, handmade crafts created by anonymous artisans. Mingei focuses on everyday objects, such as pottery, textiles, furniture, and utensils, that reflect the culture and daily life of the people who made them. Lawrin Smith - is the author of the book "The Prints of Yoshitoshi: A Complete Illustrated Catalog" (2009). This comprehensive catalog focuses on the works of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. The book provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of Yoshitoshi's prints, showcasing his significant contributions to the ukiyo-e genre and his influence on modern printmaking. Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that celebrates the beauty of imperfection, transience, and the natural cycle of life. It combines two concepts: "wabi," which refers to rustic simplicity and tranquility found in nature, and "sabi,"which denotes the beauty that comes with age and wear. Wabi-sabi values simplicity, asymmetry, and the unique characteristics of objects and experiences, encouraging appreciation for the impermanent and humble aspects of life. This philosophy is reflected in various forms of art, architecture, and design, emphasizing natural materials and handcrafted items, and fostering mindfulness and acceptance of the imperfections that make life beautiful. A-yo - is a renowned Japanese artist associated with the Gutai Art Association, an avant-garde group that emerged in post-war Japan. Known for his vibrant colors and distinctive style, Ay-O's work often incorporates elements of nature, light, and movement, reflecting themes of playfulness and spontaneity. He engages with materials in innovative ways and has explored performance art as part of his creative expression. With extensive exhibitions both in Japan and internationally, Ay-O has made significant contributions to contemporary art, emphasizing the joy of creation and the aesthetic experience. Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) was a French-American artist and a key figure in modern art, known for his significant influence on the Dada movement and conceptual art. He initially trained as a painter but became renowned for challenging traditional notions of art through his controversial works, such as "Fountain"(1917), a readymade sculpture of a urinal that questioned the definition of art and the role of the artist. Duchamp's other notable pieces, including "The Large Glass" (1915–1923) and "Bicycle Wheel" (1913), explored themes of chance and perception. His innovative ideas about art as a conceptual experience rather than a purely visual one continue to resonate, solidifying his status as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.   Fountain (1917) replica (1964)   Naoko Matsubara - is a contemporary Japanese printmaker known for her expertise in mokuhanga. Born in Osaka, she studied at Kyoto Seika University, where she specialized in printmaking and mastered the techniques of this ancient art form. Matsubara's work often blends traditional methods with contemporary themes, exploring the relationship between nature, culture, and identity. Her prints are characterized by intricate details, vibrant colors, and a deep appreciation for the materials and techniques involved in woodblock printing. She teaches and promotes mokuhanga both in Japan and abroad, exhibiting her work in galleries and museums worldwide and receiving numerous awards for her contributions to the field. Naoko's interview with The Unfinished Print can be found, here.    Gihachiro Okuyama (1907-1981) - was a prominent Japanese printmaker and painter associated with the sōsaku hanga (creative prints) movement.

The genre reflects societal attitudes toward love and relationships and has a rich history despite facing censorship at various times. Today, shunga is recognized as a significant part of Japanese art history, appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and cultural context.

Send us a textIn this episode, Dr. Jacy Ippolito and I discuss a wide range of coaching topics! Here are the key points:Isolation of Coaches and Leaders: Many coaches and leaders feel isolated due to the lack of clear roles and a sense of needing to be the "hero." This isolation can hinder effectiveness.The Coaching Continuum: The concept of "levels of coaching intensity" is introduced. These levels range from building relationships (Level 1) to analyzing practice (Level 2) to transforming practice (Level 3). Alignment is Key: Successful coaching is not just about individual efforts but about a whole-system approach. Alignment between coaches, leaders, and teachers' goals is crucial for optimal outcomes.Curiosity vs. Fear: Analyzing practice requires a shift from fearing judgment to embracing curiosity about student learning outcomes. This curiosity fuels the desire to transform teaching practices.Resistance as a Systems Issue: Resistance to change is often rooted in systemic issues, not individual shortcomings. Building a culture of coaching and addressing the underlying causes of resistance are more effective than "fixing" teachers.BEGINNING OF SCHOOL YEAR SPECIAL[IN PERSON PD}  Breaking Through Resistance and Building Buy-InCONTACT US to qualify for the special and to get on our mailing list.[[FREE]] Sibme Coaching AppLet's Stay Connected!Website | Instagram | Twitter | Linkedin | Facebook | Contact Us

Jessica Searle spent all of her early years dealing with dysfunctional parents. Drugs, alcohol and even abuse were part of her young life. She left home at 13 living in the Mission district of San Francisco where she was jumped into a gang. Finally finding herself in Utah, any hope of change vanished as she continued down the path of drugs, and bad relationships. She lived that way for 25 years until she was finally done. Enrolling in The Other Side Academy changed her life. Now she is articulate, authentic, and purposeful. She is not the person she spent 38 years becoming. She has a light in her eyes and hope in her heart. Her story is one of triumph over insurmountable odds.

Leticia Ledezma's young life was full of struggles. Her young dreams of growing up to be a lawyer soon gave way to following her brother into the street life where she remained for the better part of 25 years. Her current bright smile was, for so long covered in drugs and abuse and pain and hopelessness. A continuous cycle of bad relationships and a life that found her booked into jail 40 times, with no idea how to escape what she found a “normal”. Then things changed as she was introduced to The Other Side Academy. Now over 7 years sober and living a great life, describes her transformation where she is full of hope, optimism and purpose.

Dylan's Gibson's young life started in trauma; duplicitous, addicted parents, a predator baby sitter, divorced parents at age 9. All of which he thought to be “normal”.

Being authentic requires emotional regulation. Dr. Jody explains how emotional regulation forms the foundation of our authenticity, which in turn shapes the relationships we build. As leaders, she emphasizes that "fixing" everything isn't always our primary role. Instead, prioritizing human connection creates a fertile ground where the real work can grow.⁠⁠Dr. Carrington equips us with practical strategies for becoming our most authentic and emotionally regulated selves.

In his early life, Joel Josewski's outgoing personality got him into nothing but trouble. Jumping in with both feet can be a good thing if you're pointed in the right direction. However, in his youth, often, he was not. Though he graduated high school at an alternative high school, his addictions led him down a road of lies, coverups, and crime. On his way to prison for a very long time, his attorney convinced him to apply to enroll in The Other Side Academy. 2 years was a long time but it was shorter than the prison term ahead of him. Like most the things he has done in his life, there he found himself jumping in with both feet. That was 9 years ago. Now, still at TOSA, he serves as a faculty member mentoring and helping others whose shoes he has walked in, find their way back to themselves. His is an incredible story of redemption and service.
