Quote of the Day - Anais Nin

Aanois

"I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.” - Anais Nin. Anaïs Nin was an author born to Spanish-Cuban parents in France, where she was also raised. She spent some time in Spain and Cuba but lived most of her life in the United States where she became an established author

Why I Fell In Love With the Movie "Moving Art - Flowers" by Louie Schwartzberg

Alouiehu

"What of an act of desperation? Is it only to understand how, or is it better to understand why? The night was still…too still, yet the chatter in my head would not cease. So I reached out for something, anything to silence the noise." What I needed was…

  • A reason.
  • A moment.
  • An embrace
  • Light
  • How or why I ended up watching the movie - "Moving Art - Flowers" by Louie Schwartzberg on Netflix one night probably doesn’t matter. What does matter is that I saw just what the Universe needed me to see on that very day, at that very moment. What happened after I clicked play was an awe inspiring dance of the senses that had me on my knees by the end of the movie. See for yourself


    And Now A Word About My Favorite Online Language Platform - Duolingo

    Aduolingo

    Ok, so I have been trying to learn German for awhile now. I purchased some CD's from, lets just say, "Another Vendor" and never got anywhere. So one night Mike and I were binge watching TED Talks on Netflix and came across one by Luis von Ahn. You might also know him as the inventor of Captcha. You know those annoying (by his own admission) letter and number sequences you sometimes have to enter so that you can proceed further into a website or platform. It helps distinguish you from a program that is just trying to spam that particular site. In any event. on his TED Talks show he spoke also about Duolingo. Duolingo allows the user to learn a foreign language for FREE. Yes, FREE. In turn they hope that you will, after you have advanced enough, translate foreign books, articles and papers for their clients. You don't HAVE TO but it would be nice if you "pay it FOrward" and do some translating for Duolingo which is where they make their money. They do not allow advertising on their platform which makes it a joy to work on. After 1 year of faithful studying I have advanced to level 14 and am translating. It is really fun.

    The other good thing about Dulingo is that the lessons you learn force you to not only annunciate the language correctly but you also learn to spell the words as well. They just received some additional funding too. You can read all about it on techcrunch by clicking here. Duolingo can be viewed by going to duolingo.com.

    Happy Presidents Day!

     

    Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin talks about what we can learn from American presidents, including Abraham Lincoln and Lyndon Johnson. Then she shares a moving memory of her own father, and of their shared love of baseball.

    Doris Kearns Goodwin writes insightful books on the US Presidency (JFK, LBJ, FDR and Lincoln, so far), telling each president's personal story against the backdrop of history.
