Trinh Le: Beautiful Mover

Let’s talk about dance in a way that’s not too technical and complicated. Getting people out there, moving to the music, shaking, jumping and rocking, is no small feat. Some teachers have the exceptional ability to do much more than instruct students to dance. These teachers possess an intangible something extra that inspires people to move like they have never moved before. A musical force of nature to behold, Trinh Le is that kind of teacher. A human dynamo! Wow! How does she do it?


North Tillamook Library at Manzanita, Oregon– Good Things Grow in the Midst of Great Beauty

The key to understanding people and the world around us begins with education. One way to learn about the world is by developing a love of books. Each month, we profile a library. Large, small, urban, rural, post-modern, quaint or neo-classic; do you have a library that you love? Tell us about it. This month, Patricia Vaccarino writes about the North Tillamook Library at Manzanita – Manzanita, Oregon

 


I, Too, Have a Dream

I see a transformative way forward for our endangered species. One missing piece is transformative leadership. I have an idea.

 


The Pencil Test finesses the fit

 When Holly Powell opened her first bra shop in Portland, Oregon in 2011, she wanted a name that was pronounceable and memorable.  “Lots of women’s lingerie stores have French names that people can’t pronounce. I wanted something that said very clearly to the world, ‘we do big boobs.’”


The Beauty in Movement

A recent article in the New York Times asserted that dance is the new kale. But for those of us who have made a commitment to dance, viewing this exhilarating art form as simply another trend is missing the point. Being a dancer takes time, focus and practice. For me and for many of the dancers I know, we are not engaging in a passing fancy. We’re dedicated to the artistry and the physicality of movement.  


Remembering Billy Mitchell

Remember Billy Mitchell? He was the General in charge of American air combat units toward the end of World War I. He warned the military leadership that if they did not invest in air power, eventually enemy air raids would sink our battleships. At the time, when American air power was in its infancy, it was unthinkable that bombers could destroy battleships. But Billy Mitchell persisted in telling all who would listen, including the public and the media, the time would come when air power would soon become a dominant force of war.  He ran a series of successful bombing “test” runs to prove his point.


Why We Need Global Governance… Now!

Our species is in serious peril.  Why We Need Global Governance… Now! We must think outside the box because the future lies outside the box.

Building a Global Superorganism: A New Paradigm for the Era of Climate Change

Perverse as it may seem, the greatest threat that we may face is each other, and a regression into tribalism. Indeed, violent warfare has been one of the major themes in human history, going back as far as we can see.   Peace has often seemed like it’s only a brief intermission.   We are facing the very real prospect of an era of “climate wars.”  Or worse. 

 


Flying Saucer for Civil Intercontinental Aviation

While Flying Saucers still remain an amusing topic of urban legends today, the potential benefit of the flat and symmetric saucer shape (round or triangle, etc) for transportation means of civil aviation has been utterly ignored. In fact, the saucer shape would grant the Flying Saucers some critical advantages over other flying vehicles so that they might become the best option for the commercial intercontinental passenger transportation in the future. Accordingly, Flying Saucers would completely change the philosophy of intercontinental aviation, and thus travelling by Flying Saucer might become a new fashion for intercontinental flights in the world in the coming decades.
