NCT Renjun's Recent Visuals Go Viral, Fans Come To His Defense.

Students need to be able to make a great argument to find success at school, and in many professions. They need to come up with an idea, find evidence, analyze their evidence, and tie it all together with a well-written bow. Thus, for many decades, students have written essays. We've taught them to write thesis statements, organizing sentences, transitions, topic sentences, and conclusions. We've taught them how to punctuate their quotations and how to analyze them. We've typed up fixes for common errors, guided peer editing workshops, created revision stations, and so much more to help them write better essays. Then they go home. And so often they just don't see the relevance of their essays to their lives. They see argument all around them - in the children's books they read their little siblings, the political ads on Youtube, Instagram carousels on big issues, polarized podcasts playing in the background of their lives, infographics hither and yon, Tik-Tok videos trying to convince them to dump their gummy bears in Sprite and stick it in the freezer, and in a million other places. So what if, mixed in with our essays, we pushed students to NOTICE how argument surrounds them. To learn from new ways ideas are shared and supported, outside the traditional essay sphere. Today's request for this summer's “Plan My Lesson” series comes from a teacher looking for ways to practice argument that don't revolve around an essay. This is a fun one for me, because I've designed SO many projects like this. But it's also challenging, because I've designed so many projects around this! I'd like to give you about 50 ways to practice argument without an essay, and I probably could. We could get into designing literary food trucks and arguing for each detail as a reflection of the book, hexagonal thinking for argument, designing infographics, recording podcasts, holding mock trials, creating visual research carousels to argue for an issue, real-world quick prompts with real-world audiences, argument one-pagers... honestly, there are so many ways to go. But we've covered a lot of this on the pod already, and we have just ONE class period to plan here. So instead of diving back into one of these topics, let's explore a new one - using children's books to search out fresh craft moves when it comes to argument. Today we'll explore one lesson in which students see how an author can combine visuals, humor, argument, and counterargument to make a clear, persuasive case on an issue. Sure, to children. But the same rules could apply for any argument! After exploring some fabulous mentor texts, students will try it out for themselves, focusing on the hesitations of their audience (or in other words, counterargument).

In this podcast episode, host Michelle Frechette  and guest Sam Waines from Barn 2 Plugins dive into the world of video content creation within the WordPress community. They discuss practical tips on equipment, editing software, and the importance of audio quality. Both share personal experiences, challenges, and lessons learned, emphasizing storytelling and authenticity as keys to audience engagement. The conversation also covers adapting to trends like short-form video and balancing technical skills with creativity. The episode offers actionable advice and inspiration for aspiring content creators looking to improve their video production and connect with viewers.Top TakeawaysContent Is King—Even with Imperfect Production: Across the discussion, Michelle and Sam stress that storytelling, relevance, and usefulness matter more than having flawless lighting, audio, or editing. Viewers are drawn to authentic, valuable stories, not just polished visuals. Imperfection is not a deal-breaker if the message resonates.You Don't Need Expensive Gear to Get Started: Michelle began her podcast with just her built-in Mac mic; Sam started with a $12 lav mic. Both reinforced that starting with what you have—whether it's free software like Audacity, basic webcams, or a phone—is more than enough. You can upgrade incrementally as your content and skills grow.Audio Setup and Environment Make a Big Difference: Simple adjustments like mic placement, soundproofing with rugs or curtains, and checking input levels (especially after software updates) can dramatically improve audio quality. Sam recommends keeping recording levels around 25–50% and watching for clipping using tools like OBS or native Mac settings.Mentioned In The Show:Barn 2 PluginsNomad With UsDaVinci ResolveBlue YetiSony a6400WordPress.orgElementorStreamYardZoom Adobe RushAudacityDescript GarageBand iMovie Screen StudioMira teleprompter software

Zusammenfassung:Nach einer kurzen Pause steigen Alois und Oliver im gewohnten Deep-Tech-Duett in das wohl umstrittenste Thema der Gegenwart ein: Was passiert mit Kreativität, wenn Künstliche Intelligenz im Takt vorgibt? Ausgangspunkt ist die Band „Velvet Sundown“, ein komplett KI-generiertes Musikprojekt, bei dem nicht nur die Songs, sondern auch die Storys und Charaktere aus der Maschine kommen – und trotzdem klingt das Ergebnis erstaunlich „echt“.Die beiden fragen sich: Wie kreativ kann eine KI eigentlich sein? Und was bedeutet das für Künstler, Kreative, aber auch für die Gesellschaft insgesamt? Während für viele Kreative KI noch immer wie der sprichwörtliche „Evil Twin“ wirkt – eine Bedrohung, die das eigene Werk kopiert, verändert und verwertet, ohne dass sie selbst gefragt oder entlohnt werden –, sehen andere in der Maschine längst eine neue Muse. Ein prominentes Beispiel: Der Dirigent Kristjan Järvi, der in der KI keinen Feind, sondern einen Resonanzraum für eigene Ideen sieht. Für ihn amplifiziert KI die eigene Kreativität, liefert Inspiration, macht Experimente und Variationen möglich, die vorher schlicht nicht machbar waren – und das rund um die Uhr, wann immer der kreative Funke zündet.Die Hosts diskutieren, dass genau darin eine Riesenchance liegt, vor allem für alle, die gerne prokrastinieren oder auf Inspiration warten: KI wird zum Brandbeschleuniger der kreativen Schaffensphase. Gleichzeitig eröffnet die Demokratisierung von KI-Werkzeugen ungeahnte Möglichkeiten – plötzlich kann jeder ohne Vorkenntnisse Songs komponieren, Visuals erschaffen oder eigene Podcasts musikalisch begleiten. Die Schattenseite: Es droht eine neue Spaltung. Nicht nur zwischen Early Adopters und Skeptikern, sondern auch zwischen denen, die die Tools wirklich beherrschen und ihren individuellen Stil einbringen – und denen, die sich mit Standard-Lösungen zufriedengeben und so zur großen Gleichmachung von Kunst und Content beitragen.Nicht nur die Kunstszene steht vor einer Bewährungsprobe: Auch das Urheberrecht gerät ins Wanken, weil heutige Gesetze mit dem rasanten Fortschritt nicht mehr mithalten. Während einige Künstler sich durch KI-Tools betrogen fühlen, fordern andere offene Experimentierräume – und neue Regeln, die den kreativen Remix und die Zusammenarbeit von Mensch und Maschine fair regeln.Im weiteren Verlauf der Folge machen Alois und Oliver klar, dass es auch auf gesellschaftlicher Ebene um eine Lernkurve geht: Wer die Potenziale von KI nutzen will, braucht nicht nur Offenheit, sondern auch echte Datenkompetenz („AI Data Literacy“). Diejenigen, die bereit sind, sich in neue Tools und Arbeitsweisen einzuarbeiten, werden massiv effizienter und produktiver – egal ob als Künstler, Texter, Programmierer oder Wissensarbeiter. Wer sich verweigert, läuft Gefahr, abgehängt zu werden. Die Hosts fordern daher mehr niedrigschwellige Angebote, Weiterbildung und das Bewusstsein, dass KI zwar viel verändern, aber die kreative Rolle des Menschen niemals komplett ersetzen wird. Im Gegenteil: Menschliche Kuratierung, individuelle Ideen und die Fähigkeit, Workflows zu orchestrieren, bleiben zentral – und werden durch KI eher noch wichtiger.Am Ende bleibt die Erkenntnis: KI ist weder Bedrohung noch Heilsbringer – sondern ein neues Werkzeug, das Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Kultur genauso herausfordert wie einst Buchdruck, Schreibmaschine oder Computer. Wer diese Welle reitet, profitiert. Wer stehen bleibt, wird schnell überholt. Entscheidend ist die Bereitschaft, die neuen Möglichkeiten zu erkennen, zu gestalten – und dabei den eigenen kreativen Wert neu zu definieren.

This week on Collecting Issues, we're talking about The One Hand and The Six Fingers—two five-issue series from Image Comics (2024) by Ram V, Dan Watters, Laurence Campbell, Sumit Kumar, Lee Loughridge, and Tom Muller.Set in the gritty, retro-future city of Neo Novena, these stories unfold from two perspectives: a weary detective facing a familiar case on the eve of retirement, and a brilliant student who wakes up with memories of a murder. What starts as a ritual killing slowly unspools into something much stranger—where nothing is real, everything loops, and the world might just be a cage.We're talking:Murder, glyphs, and glitching cogsNoir tropes used with purpose—not ironyRobots doing people jobs, people thinking like machinesHow these two comics were written in conversation, not collaborationThe big existential ending (and why it works)If you like Blade Runner, The Matrix, Memento, or Dark City, this one's worth your time. But seriously—read the comics before listening. It's impossible to talk about them properly without giving things away.Time Stamps:00:00 Introduction to 'The One Hand and the Six Fingers'01:13 Spoiler Alert: Read Before Listening01:30 Engaging with the Audience04:22 Plot Overview: The Future and Parallel Stories05:00 Detective Ari Nasser's Last Case05:49 Johannes Vale's Mysterious Journey07:04 Creative Teams and Artistic Styles08:08 The Noir Aesthetic and Setting10:09 The Mystery Deepens30:54 Existential Revelations and The Matrix38:14 Literary Influences and Themes40:01 Post-Capitalist Themes and Inspirations40:42 Philosophy Bites and Post-Work Societies42:17 The Sunset Limited and Philosophical Debates43:05 Comic Book Collaboration and Glyph System47:27 Art and Visuals in the Comic59:20 Character Analysis and Stereotypes01:04:18 Final Thoughts and Upcoming ReadsFollow the Podcast:Join the Discord and read alongRead Our SubstackFollow us on InstagramFollow us on TiktokWatch us on Youtube Hosted on Acast.

How to Ask Better Questions Without Saying "Why?" Stakeholder Whispering: Secret to Better Communication Episode 261 (Bill is based in New Mexico) In this conversation with Bill Shander we explore: How to uncover what your stakeholders really need—beyond what they ask for Why your first idea is often just an automated response How to apply the Socratic method to guide people toward their own insight Why asking “why” directly can feel hostile, and what to say instead The power of “chunky segmentation” to clarify vague communication How to balance divergent and convergent questions to get to the truth What aporia means—and why a little confusion leads to breakthrough thinking Why your visuals must reflect meaning, not just style When and how AI can support visual storytelling and insight Why it's crucial to practice stakeholder whispering on yourself first ----- About our guest, Bill Shander: Bill has been teaching data storytelling and visualization for about 10 years for clients around the world and on on Linkedin Learning. He is the author of "Stakeholder Whispering: Uncover What People Need Before Doing What they Ask" You can find his book here: Stakeholder Whispering ----- Key lessons from this conversation: 1. Most stakeholders don't know what they really need. Insight: Stakeholder requests are often surface-level assumptions, not true needs. Your job is to dig deeper. 2. Your first idea is usually just an automated response. Insight: Pause before acting. The first idea might be convenient, but often lacks strategic depth. 3. Use Socratic questioning to help people uncover their own truth. Insight: Ask layered questions to lead stakeholders into self-awareness rather than handing them answers. 4. Avoid hostile “why” questions—ask with curiosity instead. Insight: Reframe your language: say “Tell me more about…” instead of “Why did you do that?” 5. Translate ambiguous requests using “chunky segmentation.” Insight: Break vague statements (e.g., “We do masterclasses”) into discrete elements to clarify meaning. 6. Push stakeholders into a state of puzzlement (aporia). Insight: Confusion can be a productive step toward clarity—help stakeholders get there. 7. Visuals are communication tools—not just decoration. Insight: Choose visuals based on the real message, not just what's easy to draw. 8. AI is a helpful partner, but only if you know your message. Insight: Tools like AI are only effective after you've clarified your intent and message. 9. Leaders should hire people who push back. Insight: Order-takers may be efficient, but real innovation comes from collaborators who challenge assumptions. 10. Practice stakeholder whispering on yourself first. Insight: Self-questioning sharpens your ability to lead others through discovery and insight. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

In Episode 55, we stress tailoring presentations to a church's focus, and using the 5 Ws and H to share a ministry's vision. Prepare well, secure slots early, and use stories and visuals. Keep financial asks clear, seeking larger support from home churches. Engage post-presentation with a table and follow-ups. Churches may give love offerings, regular gifts, or non-financial support like space. Gratitude and consistent updates foster lasting partnerships, emphasizing preparation and authentic relationships.[1:00-3:00] Tailoring Communication: Corrie stresses customizing presentations to a church's schedule and mission focus, whether a brief pitch or longer talk, to resonate with the congregation and highlight the ministry's alignment with their goals.[4:00-9:00] Vision vs. Financial Ask: The hosts distinguish between informing congregations about the ministry's impact and making financial asks, emphasizing vision casting. Corrie suggests securing presentation slots via the pastor or missions committee, ideally a quarter in advance.[11:00-15:00] Visuals and Storytelling: The hosts highlight the power of visuals (e.g., Bible translation examples) and storytelling to engage audiences, noting that stories increase retention significantly and should be paired with context for impact.[23:00-30:00] 5 Ws and H Framework: Corrie explains using Who (people served/team), What (activities), When (timeline), Where (location), Why (purpose), and How (methods) to structure clear, compelling presentations, ensuring context before specific stories.[34:00-39:00] Post-Presentation Engagement: Corrie shares tips for lobby engagement, like setting up a table with ministry materials and signup sheets, using body language to manage conversations, and following up to build relationships.If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with your network.

Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/episode-90-tim-jonesPodcast episode #90 is the first of our Manchester special and features the charming and uber-talented Tim Jones. Tim has an incredible track record when it comes to OOH, both from his time at BBC Creative and more recently at Meanwhile, the agency he set up with long term creative partner James Cross and Al Marchant.Meanwhile have enjoyed great success since launch in 2022, thanks not just to their creative work, but savvy association with Bez of the Happy Mondays, himself an icon of the North West. It's no surprise Meanwhile were Campaign's Start Up Agency of 2023.We discussed Tim's extensive OOH portfolio, including the 7m tapestry for the BBC World Cup in Russia which formed the centre pice of the History Will Be Made campaign and was meant to have an additional segment, allowing for the next bit of history. Tim told us how he was prepping the new piece to incorporate Harry Kane lifting the trophy. Oh Lord. How many years of hurt?! Too much. Anyway, it wasn't meant to be, but a brilliant story about what goes on behind the tapestry.Then there was the Netflix Diamond Heist and how Meanwhile placed a 9-carat diamond onto the side of a billboard.Next Travel Supermarket with a vertical stack of inflatables in a shopping trolley on the side of a building. How will they stay up? What happens if a member of the public throws darts at them? And a million and one other daft questions that have to be answered in order to get creative work to run.On and on the stories went, the Manchester tram that toots the theme tune of Coronation Street, the BAFTA winning work for BBC Tokyo Olympics, the award-winning launch work for Chester Zoo, the iconic Park Run work for Mental health Day.Thank you Tim. It was a total pleasure. We can't wait to see what you and Meanwhile do next.
