Isadora Duncan The act of expressing yourself

Isadora Duncan The act of expressing yourselfIsadora Duncan The act of expressing yourselfWhen she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance.Now, had she been anyone otzu sich than zu sichself, that stint would likely have turned out like most of our own ambitious pursuits at that age frustrating, difficult, and a little discouraging.But Duncan was different. Not only was she already incredibly talented (enough to command money for zu sich work even at that age), but she also had a rare kind of confidence that treated setbacks as fuel something to nourish and elevate the fire already burning inside of her.Its likely no surprise, then, that when she moved to New York to join a theatre company, she found herself constrained. The rigidity of the existing style, their way of operating all of this seemed to her the work of a misguided past, one that didnt cherish movement as an art.Her intuition was right, and the journey she took over the next few ye ars and decades, throughout European cities like Paris, Budapest, Berlin, and Athens, ultimately proved that.Today, she is remembered as The Mother of Dance, with much of the modern art owing its fluid, expressive style to her influence. Inspired by the ancient Greeks, she brought it to life.While Duncan never finished her gestaltal education, learning in her own time was always a big part of how she lived, and it was partly this drive that manifested as original expression.Whether its at work, or through hobbies, or simply in the way that we live, we, too, are always expressing fragments of who we are. A big part of living a fulfilling life is doing so in a way that is true. In this department, we can look to Duncan, who embodied it bySeeing inspiration as a form of freedomRecognizing the one-sidedness of criticismAccepting the immoderation of geniusAn expression is a physical form we give to a part of ourselves, connecting us to the world.See inspiration as a form of freedomEver s ince the Industrial Revolution, the clock has become its own deity. It tells us when we start work, when we eat, when we move, when we sleep, when we connect when we live.This is so normal for us today that we forget that, in many ways, it isnt normal at all. The obsession with time, habits, rigidity, and routine is relatively recent. In a pre-capitalist society, we had some form of these things, sure, but they didnt control us like they do today.In some ways, they have worth. In fact, they even generate freedom. We all have things we need to do, things we cant get around, and this kind of organization lets us satisfy them.At the same time, only living in an environment where this is the norm also dulls inspiration.In her autobiography, one of the things Duncan consistently refers to as the bedrock of her expressive spirit is the fact that she had a childhood where she wasnt constantly watched.They didnt have much growing up, and the expectations of her mother (who raised her) were open-ended. Beyond playing music for her kids and spending time with them, she didnt push any agenda, letting them explore their own world, create their own adventures.It was the freedom of this lifestyle at an early age, along with never having predetermined commitments (other than surviving and getting by), that drove her to see what she could do.Inspiration has two faces the first is a product of action, when you actually sit down to produce something, say, like a piece of writing or a piece of music the second, the one that fuels the first, however, is born out of a will to freedom and exploration in a nonlinear way.Inspiration is an expressive manifestation of freedom, and its leid found in places with walls. The modern world has a bias towards structure, which does have a place, but for that structure to produce something of value, it needs the fuel in pockets of undefined space.Recognize the one-sidedness of criticismEven in her teenage years, Duncan was very direct about wh at she wanted, confidently telling people she had a different vision of dance that she was going to spread in the world.This, naturally, led to ridicule and laughs early on, but as she built up her work, her skills, and her image, these instances became less frequent. That said, even then, she had her critics.On one occasion, she invited a man, who had said nasty things about her, to watch her in person. She felt bad about what he had said, but she was also adamant that she could change his mind if he saw her do her work in person. Except, thats not what happened.But the reason for this, she discovered, had nothing to do with her the man was near-deaf and could barely hear the music she was dancing to, only seeing one side of the act.Given that Duncans big revolution in dance was how her movement connected itself to the music, the emotion, and the space in the room in the way that previously mechanical styles didnt not hearing the music meant that he wasnt really even seeing the p erformance.The act of expressing yourself is an act of differentiation, and people at different skill and competence levels differentiate themselves in various ways that dont work for everyone.Whether its in art or in a conversation, expression is a two-person game. There is the person expressing themselves and then there is the receiver, who has to do their part.Good, productive criticism, of course, is vital for feedback and improvement, but only if its coming from someone who actually understands what you are trying to do. If you are not even on the same wavelength, then its not worth feeling bad about what someone says.Any time you embody a part of yourself into physical form via expression, youre opening yourself up to both connection and miscommunication. And theres an important distinction.Accept the immoderation of geniusWhen we use the term genius, we think of it as a noun, something that represents a person or a group of people, as if its a way of being. But genius is humb ler than that. Its a verb.Nobody is a genius all the time, and nobody is a genius in every context, but most of us have sprinkles of it that show themselves when we have done the work for it to manifest. People like Duncan embodied it more often than the average person, sure, but even they had limits.Growing up, before she left school, she was told one of two things that she was either completely useless or that she had a spectacular mind. There was nothing in between. Even when she started working, people either bowed to her or they basically ignored her.There is an old quote often attributed to Albert Einstein (he likely didnt say that, though) that says something like If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. And it captures an important truth, easily ignored.Genius isnt sprinkled into us in moderation at birth, where if you have it, its always a part of you, shining through in all that you do. There are some reli able tests in the psychological literature that measure a form of it (IQ) well, and it does count for a lot, but its not enough.More often than not, genius is immoderate, and its manifestation depends on the person, yes,- what they are born with, what their skill level is but it also depends on the situation.At school, Isadora Duncan was a failure. In the dancehall, she gave form to brilliance.The best we can do is tilt our experience towards the direction of the immoderation rather than getting stuck in a place that we can neither give something to or get something from.All you need to knowEvery action we take is a form of expression. It takes the cloudy amalgamation of experience we have accumulated in our mind and gives it a concrete form in the world around us.Isadora Duncan isnt a familiar name outside of some artistic circles, but whether directly or indirectly, most of us have at some point felt her influence via the lifeforce of her expression.Here are three things we can l earn from herI. See inspiration as a form of freedom. Production and creation require things like routine and schedule and structure, but if thats all you have, then whatever it is that is expressed through your production and your creation wont be truly alive. Inspiration is an embodiment of freedom, and it lives in a world without walls.II. Recognize the one-sidedness of criticism. Expression, naturally, opens itself up to criticism. While criticism is a valuable form of feedback, one that should consistently be taken into account, the source of the criticism matters. If someone isnt even seeing or hearing you, what they have to say isnt relevant to the world you live in.III. Accept the immoderation of genius. Genius isnt a way of being. Its more of an act, and it comes through when a person with certain skills and abilities is matched to the right environment. Nobody is a genius everywhere, and almost all of us have some immoderate form of it. The task is to recognize where that is and double down on it.People use all kinds of words and labels to describe who they think they are, but the only evidence of who we are is in what we express when we interact with the surrounding world.A movement itself is an expression, and in every moment, it recreates the unsayable.Want to think and live smarter?

How to Conquer Four Common Law School Exam Catastrophes

How to Conquer Four Common Law School Exam CatastrophesHow to Conquer Four Common Law School Exam Catastrophes1. Allow Time for Small DisastersBe sure to prepare for the obvious Murphys Law. If you have an in-class exam, set more than one alarm clock in case one does notlage go off and allow more than enough time to get to the exam site. Many professors will not have sympathy for traffic jams, car problems and being unable to find a parking space. (In practice, many judges have little tolerance for this either.) Make sure you specifically organize everything you could possibly need to bring to your exam, a few hours before exam time, and be sure to bring it to the exam. Inevitably there is one person who goes to an open book exam and forgets their notes or outline. Do not let that person be youGet to your exam at least a half hour early and get settled in. Similarly, if you have a take home exam due at a specific time on a specific date, assume that timeline is set in stone, and prepare to hand in your exam a minimum of 20 minutes before that time. Again, unexpected problems can creep up when you last expect them. Allowing extra time to deal with any challenges will certainly help you confront them with confidence rather than a panic attack.2. Be Wary of Ghosts in the Machines Both home computers and even the law school computer network can become your enemy during exams. Computers binnenseem to know when you really need them to work properly and do everything to make your life a misery at the worst times If you do nothing else during exams, save your work on your computer and save it often. I would also save it to a disk or CD-ROM. I will admit that I have not had the presence of mind to do this in the past, and it cost me dearly. I lost a great deal of one of my drafts of a law review article I wrote due to a power failure. Computers crash, word processing programs freeze and even the school computers can go down at the wors t times. So be prepared.3. Protect Your EnvironmentYou would be amazed at how rude other students can be during exams. Yet, in an effort to coexist without a confrontation, we do nothing to stop something that is distracting. I Instead of suffering in silence, try to be healthfully selfish. Exam time is not the time to tolerate annoying behavior such as mumbling, food crunching and pen clicking. I once had a student sit in back of me during a Civil Procedure exam and eat an entire hoagie The hoagie smell drove me crazy, but I tried to ignore it even though it distracted me the entire time. Did it make a difference between an A- and B+? Who knows? But it very well could have. Be firm with rude people. Tell the person their behavior is distracting and ask them to stop. If the person refuses, do not waste any time. Find the class monitor or the professor and explain the problem. It will be dealt with. Try not to care what your classmates think about you. Theyre not payi ng for your student loans. Quite frankly, most people will be relieved you acted because they were just as irritated as you were by the annoying behavior.4.Dont Forget It is All in Your HeadAnyone who saw the movie The Paper Chase knows that a large part of succeeding or failing in law school is psychological. It is your approach that makes the difference. You can choose to panic at the first exam question you dont know how to answer, or you can see that exam question as a chance to shine and show the professor what you know. Its easy to let yourself skim the exam question without property reading it and spew a lot of non IRAC drivel in answering the question. The better way to tackle an exam question is to take a deep breath, read the instructions closely and either tackle it or make a mental note to come back to the question later. At the first sign of panic, try to reassure yourself that you have prepared adequately and recall exam taking strategies that can assist you in d ealing with the challenge you are facing. For example, quickly read all the fact patterns and questions to get a feel for the entire exam. Decide which exam questions you will tackle first. Begin with the question you feel most comfortable with so that you can build your confidence. Spend time considering what your professor wants you to do. Re-read the facts and write down the issues. If you are unsure of the issue, consider your memorized materials and brainstorm. It is also important to think of the facts from both sides of the issue. Consider both in your exam answer, but thoroughly discuss which side has the better argument. Also thoroughly analyze the topic and interweave the significant legal facts. Be explicit in how the facts relate to the rule and how you reached a conclusion. Write a version of the applicable rule and organize a structure for the question. Write the answer. Discuss the relevant issues in depth. Raise then dismiss the irrelevant ones. Proof read the answer to be sure all the issues you found earlier were addressed. Move on to the next question. If it is a timed exam, keep an eye on the clock. Whatever the exam strategy, allowing yourself to feel overwhelmed, anxious or fearful will hinder your ability to recall the concepts and rules youve devoted so much time to mastering. If you approach exams in a confident, prepared, organized manner, exams will be an opportunity to shine, not an insurmountable obstacle to law school successSandra J. Ware, Esq. is the author of Guerrilla Tactics for Law School Academic Success. She served on the law journal and was appointed as an Academic Success Tutor during law school.

Ancient Awl Rewrites History

Ancient Awl Rewrites History Ancient Awl Rewrites History A corroded scrap of copper has rewritten the history of technology in the Middle East. It also sheds light on very early trade practices. According to a recent paper, the artifact is a copper awl, and it was found in a grave at Tel Tsaf in the Jordan Valley of Israel, about 25 miles south of the Sea of Galilee. Calibrated carbon dating places the grave in the late sixth millennium or early fifth millennium B.C.E. The awl came to light in 2007 during an excavation conducted by Yosef Garfinkel of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The published results were co-authored by Garfinkel, Danny Rosenberg, the head of the Laboratory for Ground-stone Tools Research in the University of Haifas Zinman Institute of Archaeology, Florian Klimscha of the German Archaeological Institute in Berlin, which is conducting the renewed project at Tel Tsaf, and Sariel Shalev of the Department of Archaeology at the University of Haifa, who conducted t he chemical analysis of the awl.The grave site (in the round structure at the top left) contained various high position goods in addition to the awl. Image Wikimedia Commons The corroded item was analyzed by PXRF, a technique for chemical compositional measurement in which X-rays of a known energy are directed towards a target or sample, causing the atoms within the material to emit fluorescent X-rays at energies characteristic of its elemental composition. Rosenberg said that until this unique find was discovered, the oldest evidence of metallurgy in the flche was several centuries younger, dating from the last quarter of the fifth millennium B.C.E and thus we have a unique opportunity to study the very early roots of this advanced technology and how it was introduced to this area. Chemical examination of the metal suggests it may have come from the Caucasus, mora than 600 miles away. According to Rosenberg and Klimscha, While the long-distance commercial ties maintained by village communities in our region were already known from even earlier periods, the import of a new technology combined with the processing of a new raw material coming from such a distant location is unique to Tel Tsaf and provides additional evidence of the importance of this site in the ancient world. According to the paper, The Beginning of Metallurgy in the Southern Levant, published in the journal, PLOS One, Tel Tsaf was an extremely wealthy community for its time. The site has the remains of complexes and buildings, and the scale of its grain silos was unprecedented in the ancient Middle East. According to the authors, it is possible that metallurgy was first diffused to the southern Levant through exchange networks and only centuries later involved local production. This copper awl, the earliest metal artifact found in the southern Levant, indicates that later metallurgy in the region developed from a more ancient tradition. It seems possible that the Tel Tsaf copper awl was the re sult of smelting and melting, but the poor preservation and heavy corrosion of the object make the chemical analysis difficult to interpret. The copper awl was found among other grave goods that make the grave a very elaborate burial. The grave contained the skeleton of a woman about 40 years old. The burial included a necklace of 1,668 beads made of ostrich egg shell. It is the most elaborate burial of its period in the entire Levant, the paper says, and the authors take that as a sign of the prestige value of metal objects at the time. View the current and past issues of Mechanical Engineering. For Further Discussion Thus we have a unique opportunity to study the very early roots of this advanced technology and how it was introduced to this area.Danny Rosenberg, Zinman Institute of Archaeology, University of Haifa

Four underrated benefits of succeeding in autumn

Four underrated benefits of succeeding in autumnFour underrated benefits of succeeding in autumnYou probably didnt sharpen brand new pencils or pack a new backpack once summer had officially had its last hoorah, but if youre like most professionals, the autumn season proposes a renewed dedication to work. Co-founder of Early Stage Careers, Jill Tipograph says this back-to-school energy is an unconscious drive that many have adopted since elementary school, offering a burst of productivity and ambition.Starting from the earliest stages of our lives - through college and professional or graduate school - the cycle of dreaming big and getting underway is prevalent across industries, she explains. In the professional platzsetting, early autumn is when the full complement of staff is finally all present and accounted for.During this period, Tipograph says teams overflow their calendars with deadline-driven, year-end commitments such as financial deadlines, project updates and finalizing performance plans and compensation plans to cap off the business year. Though you might associate goal-making with the New Year, the harder you push during the final three months of the year, the stronger you set yourself up for success in January.Here, some of the underrated of plugging away from now until that ball drops on New Years EveYou will stand outWhen youve managed younger employees or interns, who have stood out the most to you? Likely, the eager, hardworking and dedicated busy bees who worked alongside you during a late-night deadline or who were always the first ones to raise their hand for any task, no matter how large or small. Though youre arguably further along in your career than those entry-level kiddos, Tipograph says when you work diligently in the fall and keep your colleagues and manager up to date on what youre tackling, you position yourself as a stellar employee. The effort, she adds, wont go unelendiced when review season arrives in quarter one, either.Yo u can actively differentiate yourself by pushing to do more and wrap up loose ends for the team, based on work started earlier in the year. Everyone on every team wants to be able to document completed work for their year-end self-assessment, she explains. Helping make that happen leads to being recognized as the one who gets things done, building your professional credibility even at the earliest stages of your career.As she puts it you want to be the part that others will always remember for your good work, since those accolades will stay with you throughout your career.You give yourself time to look backIn high school, those three-paragraph essays required you to think creatively and retrospectively about a given topic. Though you likely wont be graded anytime soon, conscious business coach Christine Agro recommends diligently reflecting on the progress - and pitfalls - you experienced over the past year.Look back at what you wanted to accomplish this year, check off and have a moment of celebration for all that you have done. And, look at what you didnt get done, eliminate what is no longer relevant and highlight what you still want to accomplish, she explains.Then, you can start to think on how you will be even more prudent and accomplished in the months to come. Break the remaining goal into small actionable pieces and remember to celebrate as you complete each piece. We always forget to stop and celebrate, she adds.You become more flexible with work/life balanceIf summer is defined by overindulging, autumn is when we are prescribed a dose of reality. Perhaps you put on a few pounds from all of those rooftop cocktail hours, or you fell off the fitness bandwagon thanks to triple-zero temperatures. Now that youre back into a more predictable erfahrungen, Tipograph says professionals who set goals for themselves not only in the office but in their health routine learn valuable lessons about expertly managing their work and life balance.Whether you encoura ge your group of friends or your favorite coworkers to join you for morning or afternoon runs, or you develop a strategy for actually making lunch-time workouts, the art of compromise and strategy not only fuels your body, but your mind.If your fitness routine involved spending time outdoors after work, that may no longer be an option and you need to actively plan to engage in a different way, she explains. Plan to keep your workload at a steady clip while also planning for important things like eating well and getting exercise.The point here is test out valuable trade-offs, rather than doing less. Giving up an important aspect of your day to day, is never good, try things out and adjust the plan to find different activities that can still blend with your work commitments in the community where you are living.You will know how youre feeling about your jobWhen youre wasting away on a lake or an ocean, dreaming of all the places youve yet to seen and adventures youd like to take, comi ng back into a stuffy office can feel daunting. This is when Tipograph says you can figure out if the honeymoon period of your job is over and you need to be re-energized - or if it is time to look for a new gig soon. When the latter is true for you, it is time to start planning, well, now. But if you think you could perform at a higher level with more responsibility - you have to ask for it.If you are feeling that the novelty has not only worn off, but is perhaps tossed out with yesterdays half-eaten bagel, you need to have a strategy, Tipograph says. She suggests picking three things you like about the work and actively ask for more engagement.This is not to say that you would dismiss other aspects, but asking your manager to help you do more of the type of work you love and feel most productive doing, while not mentioning the other things, is a positive approach to getting back to a more balanced view of your role, she adds.
