Victoria Beckham just revealed the secret to her 20-year marriage with husband David Beckham.
She said they were able to stay together because the kids are their priority and they support each other.
Victoria also said that it was "love at first sight" when she first met David.
Victoria Beckham and husband David Beckham have married for practically forever (a.k.a 20 years), and that's impressive—especially for celebrity couples. Apparently, there's a secret to Victoria and David's decades-long union, and it's pretty practical.
"You know, I think that the kids are our priority, and everything we do revolves around the children," the fashion designer and recent beauty mogul shared with Hoda Kotb on Today. The couple shares four children: Brooklyn, Romeo James, Harper Seven, and Cruz.
"But we both work really hard. We love what we do professionally," she continued. "We support each other and, you know, we're very lucky to have found each other and lucky that we're growing together."
Victoria also said it was "love at first sight" when she first met David. She was Posh Spice in the Spice Girls at the time, and he was a famous soccer player in England, and they quickly became known as Posh and Becks.
David joked to W in 2007 that Victoria "stalked me" before they met but, he says, "I fancied her." David explained that he saw a Spice Girls video in 1996 before he met Victoria and said to his friend, "'That one there, that's the girl I'm going to marry.'" Called it!
Things haven't been seamless in their marriage, though. The couple has faced a slew of cheating rumors over the years, which they've vehemently denied in public. Of course, it doesn't seem to have fazed their marriage.
Now, Victoria says it's a lot to manage her family's schedules and stay close but "communication is key," and she and David are "very present in the kids' lives."
"You know, we love our family. Everything we do revolves around our family," she explained. "I think it's just being focused, working hard, [and] having a great support team around us."
They also get some solid support from the grandparents, which is clutch. "Both of our parents are very, very present and help with the kids," Victoria said.

A Summer of Celebration - City of Boise Announces Fourth of July Fireworks, Opening Day at Four Municipal Pools
Mayor Lauren McLean and the Boise Parks and Recreation Department are excited to announce that fireworks will once again light up the sky above Boise on the Fourth of July in 2021. The event is part of a summer of celebration as Boise recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We have made huge strides in recent months in the fight against COVID-19 and I can't imagine a better way to celebrate our citizens' resiliency than with a state-of-the-art firework display for all to enjoy," said Mayor McLean.
As is tradition, the fireworks will launch from Ann Morrison Park. Citizens can bring a blanket and chairs to the park to enjoy the show, but attendees should keep six feet of physical distance between themselves and anyone outside their household. For the health and safety of everyone on site, there will be no food or drink vendors this year.
The fireworks will start at 10:15 p.m. (dusk) on Independence Day. Ann Morrison Park will be closed to vehicles all day on the Fourth of July, but people who plan to watch the fireworks are still welcome to walk or ride a bike into the park throughout the day. Outside food and drinks are also permitted in the park, but please remember no glass bottles or containers are allowed, and alcoholic beverages are not allowed within 250 feet of the Boise River Greenbelt. Thank you for leaving drones, pets, and fireworks/sparklers at home.
Additional details on parking, road closures and helpful tips for attendees are available online.
Pools Opening Day & Swim Team Clinic
The City of Boise is also pleased to offer summer fun and recreation for families at four of the city's outdoor municipal pools. The 2021 swimming season at Borah Pool, Fairmont Pool, Ivywild Pool and the Natatorium & Hydrotube kicks off on Friday, June 11. Season pass holders can start reserving swim time in two-hour blocks up to seven days in advance using the Boise Parks and Recreation Department's online registration system. Parks and Recreation will continue communicating with pool season pass holders about this process as opening day approaches. More information about the upcoming season, including how to buy a $15 season pass, can be found on the city's pool information web page. Borah, Fairmont, and Ivywild Pools along with the Natatorium & Hydrotube will be open for swimming through Labor Day weekend.
Boise Parks and Recreation will also host a modified Swim Team Clinic in 2021. The program will be open to youth ages 9 to18-years-old. Due to capacity limits, swimmers who participate in year-round competitive swimming are not eligible for Swim Team Clinic this summer. Space is limited and only inter-squad competition will be allowed due to health and safety protocols in place for the 2021 season.
Registration for Boise residents will start Monday, May 17 and Wednesday, May 19 for non-residents. Anyone planning to register for Swim Team should sign-up for an account through the Boise Parks and Recreation online registration system.

Preparing for roaming traffic on the network in some of Portugal's busiest tourist destinations, and prioritizing the right roaming agreements between Portuguese and oversees operators, is a vital part of ensuring that networks perform well during the critical tourism period.
Latency was a significant issue for roamers in some of Portugal's leading tourist destinations, however average download speeds were more than suitable for most use cases across the board
Spanish tourists consistently used more data per day on average compared to Portuguese users in the locations tested
Spain, followed by the UK, were the two most common origin countries of roamers visiting these locations in Portugal, based on Tutela's data
Spanish and UK users were the most prevalent "tourists" on Portugal's mobile networks in the popular tourism destinations of Porto, Lisbon, Madeira, Lagos and Albufeira during the summer of 2018, according to Tutela's analysis of over 4.3 million records collected between 1st July 2018 and 30th September 2018.
However not all mobile tourists are alike; one important consideration as operators plan for the upcoming summer season will be how much additional data use roaming users will add to the network. Across the five travel destinations tested, Spanish roaming users used more data on average than their Portuguese counterparts during the 2018 holiday season, in particular in Madeira. However, German tourists tended to use less data each day than Portuguese natives. Being able to accurately predict the data load different roaming agreements will bring to a network will allow Portuguese operators to optimize their preparations and avoid either network congestion or network over-deployment. It can also be vital insight for successful negotiation of beneficial roaming partnerships.
Then it is important to consider the mobile experience that provided to roaming users on a host network, as this will likely inform customer feedback to their providers back home, and could impact future roaming partnerships. One trend that bears considering is the higher latency that roaming users tend to experience. While this is not something that host operators can necessarily address due to how web traffic for roaming users is routed – generally through the local provider network, then via international transit services, before finally travelling over the home operator to be processed. However, awareness of and preparation for the higher latency is a crucial part of network and expectation management.
In four of the five locations in Tutela's testing, Portuguese users had lower latency than roaming users from the UK, Germany or Spain. Meanwhile, in Madeira, where UK users experienced the lowest overall latency, Portuguese users still experienced less latency than roamers from Germany or Spain.
The impact of this higher latency is likely tangible for users. Tutela uses two latency thresholds for our "basic" and "excellent" consistent quality metrics. When a record is better than the basic threshold of 100 ms, there is a high probability that users can make VOIP calls, which many travellers may wish to do using their free data allowance to avoid paying for international calls. However, for UK tourists in Lisbon and Porto, and German tourists in Madeira, users are likely to struggle to make reliable and consistent VOIP calls.
Meanwhile, for all Spanish, UK and German tourists, and indeed Portuguese users in Madeira, Lisbon, Lagos and Albufeira, latency was far higher than the "excellent" threshold of 50 ms. The impact of that is likely less important for most tourists – initial loading on HD video streams may take longer, for example, which could lead to a reduced user experience for those users who are used to being able to conduct such activity on their home networks.
In the upcoming era of 5G, this problem should be surmountable. 5G brings with it a change in approach from a "one-size-fits-all" network, to a highly dynamic network that is customized for different use cases. Not only will the rise in software defined networking allow operators to tailor their network resources to tackle exactly these kinds of problem, but 5G's overall ultra-low latency will reduce this latency "tax" on international traffic traffic.
Vodafone, which operates networks in both Spain and Portugal, have already begun work to demonstrate the benefit that 5G can bring to roaming. Earlier this year, Vodafone used a trial 5G network to allow two professional gamers to play video games without interruption whilst travelling between Portugal and Spain.
A resource currently over-provisioned for roamers in Portugal's tourist destinations according to Tutela's data is download throughput, which may be an avenue for scaling back to focus on latency in future. While UK roamers universally experienced higher latency for example, UK and Spanish roamers experienced faster download speeds than Portuguese native users in both Albufeira and Lisbon.
However, Portuguese users had faster speeds than in Lagos and Madeira, and significantly faster in Porto. This could be due to the mix of devices on the network (specifically more premium devices from roamers), but also may be some degree of traffic prioritization at work. What is notable is that all countries tested had average speeds in excess of Tutela's excellent consistent quality threshold for download throughput (4 Mbps), meaning that, at least from a throughput perspective, the network should be able to handle HD video streaming, once the initial lag is overcome.
One of the most important findings of Tutela's analysis is the sheer difference in quality of experience between roaming and national users, despite traffic using the same host networks. As we head once more into the summer tourist season, Portuguese operators can use the insights from last year to prepare for the impact of new international users and their expectations of the network.


Why Strong Leadership Is Vital in Tech Transitions
Aaron Weis helps drive vehicle coating organization Axalta out of the complex system of the major corporation it split from
By	David Baez
Axalta senior vice president and chief information officer Aaron Weis's core philosophy is "do what you say and say what you mean." He focuses on being straightforward when explaining what his department is setting out to do and then following through on that explanation, which he says results in clearer goals and more open dialogue. By providing that perspective to a growing organization in a complex, highly technical field, Weis ensures that Axalta works for the people that rely on it.
Axalta Coating Systems
Axalta develops, manufactures, and sells a wide selection of performance and transportation coatings around the world. Their customers range from among the largest global vehicle original equipment manufacturers to small, family-owned businesses who repair cars and coat products such as electrical components and radio telescopes. The thread that ties them all together, though, comes when vehicles hit the road.
"As we look to build the IT team, I have stressed that each person be the business. Don't think of engaging the business, but act like you are the business."
Axalta has been publicly traded since a November 2014 IPO, but the company has been on a journey since it was a division of the massive chemicals conglomerate, DuPont. It was eventually carved out and purchased by The Carlyle Group in early 2013. Along with the carve-out came the predecessor's complex IT infrastructure processes. What was needed was a far leaner operation—a paint company that would become the only global coatings company focused almost exclusively on industrial customers and the industry leader.
"Lean and Aggressive"
In January 2015, Axalta hired Weis as chief information officer to help provide that high-quality experience by trimming the fat, streamlining information technology to support dozens of business systems, and building a global department in line with the new company's long-term vision. Part of the reason Axalta chose to bring in Weis was that he had been in this situation before with Sensata Technologies, which had a similar relationship to Texas Instruments as Axalta had to DuPont. For the first year and a half on the job, he did away with a system that had been modeled on a complex conglomerate's infrastructure, one designed to serve multiple divisions whose focuses were not related to each other and in which much of the IT leadership had been outsourced to partners. His number one priority was to optimize by consolidating ERP and other systems, reworking infrastructure and operations, and distilling SAP. "I needed Axalta IT to be as lean and aggressive as our products are and as our businesses are in the marketplace. We needed to shed the legacy of complexity," Weis says.
RIDING WITH NASCAR
Axalta and the University of Michigan are venturing on a new partnership to benefit the research and education missions of the university. Along for the ride is four-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon, who is also the current Axalta global business advisor to Axalta chairman and CEO Charlie Shaver and his executive team.
Under the multiyear agreement, Axalta and the university will collaborate on a number of business and research and development initiatives. The first public display of the partnership occurred during the Aug. 28, 2016, Pure Michigan 400 race week at Michigan International Speedway. Axalta hosted several U-M students for events including garage tours, reception dinners, and prime views of races. Students also took part in special panel discussions on the roles of engineering and business from a career perspective.
According to Axalta, the partnership also includes a multiyear commitment from the leading global supplier of liquid and powder coatings to support U-M faculty research through collaborative projects that aim to address future opportunities in the coatings segment.
In building his team, Weis looked for people who had IT knowledge and skills but also relevant business experience. It was important to him that the people he worked with understood the context of what was going on in the transition. For example, the new head of global operations for IT spent a number of years running a global customer service department. Another member of the team spent part of her career in procurement and supply chain. Now, when the business speaks about things beyond IT, they understand what is being said and how to resolve challenges. Weis himself has experience outside of IT as a manager for an automotive company.
"If you look at the people we've brought in, each one has some robust business experience—people who know what good looks like," Weis says. "As we look to build the IT team, I have stressed that each person be the business. Don't think of engaging the business, but act like you are the business."
Axalta IT Front And Center
It's all part of Weis's plan to bring IT front and center in the company, to get it to the point where it is not merely an implementation department, but part of Axalta's overall decision-making. "We're creating direct linkages into other areas," he explains. "Innovation, supply chain, research and development, engaging with the revenue side and strategy side—we're facilitating the broader discussion of the company."
The team looks for ways to use predictive analytics to prevent inequalities, as well as partner with other areas of the business to figure out how to better support value-added services for customers. As an example, they're looking at extending capability to mobile devices: "We are figuring out how to use IT to provide competitive differentiation," he says.
One of the factors Weis talks to his team about is how easy it is to get wrapped up in the tech itself and lose sight of exactly how that tech is strengthening the company's goals—something Weis is determined to prevent. On his first day of the job, he used an overhead projector and put up a slide of a gymnasium with no words on it. "What is this?" he asked the assembled employees. "A gym," one said. "A place dust collects," joked another. Then, finally, someone said, "It's a way to get stronger." That was the answer Weis was seeking. "That's the philosophy I bring to IT. It is easy to get concerned about equipment. We get focused on that tech, but that's just tech. The whole point is, how do we make the business stronger? If we don't do that, all that stuff is a waste of time."

Strauss T6 Water Dispenser
Ian Hughes · 19 October 2011
Quick verdict
Not the only way to get purified and heated or chilled water, but a stylish one. Despite its cost, we still think it's a great addition to your kitchen.
Read full verdict
Customisable.
You might need to replace all your crockery and glassware to use the built-in shelf and it's not what you'd call cheap.
Us Brits do like a cuppa. It's said that our empire was built on tea - arguably not the drinking of it, before the historians among you start to get in touch - and thankfully, that's about the only thing that's left over from our colonial days; the love of a good brew.
So when somebody comes along with a gadget that claims to help us make the perfect cup, we tend to take note. The Strauss T6 is just such a gadget.
Hot and cold water on tap is hardly revolutionary, but that doesn't mean you have to settle for the bog standard set up either. Office workers all over the world will be familiar with the handy little machines that dispense cold filtered water that's fit to drink, but will also spit out a jet of H2o that's hot enough to brew your favourite mid-morning pick-me-up.Now, thanks to the T6 you can have the same convenience at home. But in a much more stylish package.
Style and simplicity
It's a handsome gadget by anyone's standards and it sits on your work surface replacing the need for a kettle, a water filter and a zip tap, and because it comes in 12 (yes, 12!) different colours, you won't have to stare at something that sticks out like a sore thumb in your colour coordinated designer kitchen.
The unit is plumbed in to your cold supply by one of the Strauss engineers, and usually it takes just minutes. Then, after a quick demo, you can chuck the kettle in the recycling bin and start using your filter jug as an avant-garde vase.
With minimal controls, you can dispense cool, filtered, purified water that beats just about anything you'll find in a bottle. The dual filter and UV lamp setup takes care of the purity and the custom functions take care of the amount you can dispense. Or you can fill any sized container by holding a button down.
The T6 also heats water to near boiling in seconds, and that's where the perfect cuppa comes in. Apparently the perfect temperature for tea and coffee is around 91 degrees Celsius and that's exactly what this unit will give you. Does it work? Well, yes it does. The first cafetiere of coffee I brewed was noticeably smoother and Mrs Pocket-lint was happy with the tea too.
Near-boiling water also saves time when cooking as you can fill a pan in seconds and leave pasta and vegetables to the last minute. There's an 'extra hot' button that does what you'd expect too. Heating to full capacity took a lot less than even our fast-boil kettle and we never found we were running low on temperature once. Once we enabled the child lock, we stopped worrying about jets of scalding water being unleashed by curious toddlers too.
Handy for families
Talking of little 'uns, the 'mix' setting is something we wished we'd had years ago. You can set it to pour out a particular amount of water at exactly the right temperature for a baby's bottle, at the touch of a single button. And, crucially, as the water is purified, it's better than waiting for a kettle to cool down while a baby screams in your ear waiting for the next feed.
So, we've got water at any temperature, dispensed in customisable, one-touch amounts, from a gadget that looks brilliant and is easy to use.
Downsides
There are a few minor issues. We found the cup holder didn't really fit anything we had, so it tended to be stowed away, which the engineer had warned meant that drips would end up on the counter rather than the integral drip tray. Even with the stark warning, we didn't actually see any drips at all, but over time maybe that might be something that could be an issue. So we ended up folding the little shelf away. This meant there was a certain amount of splash back, as what the T6 lacks in volume through the nozzles it makes up for in sheer force.
Filling some bottles was a bit awkward too, as the nozzles are set very close to the unit - we have a couple of CamelBak bottles that are quite wide and had to be held in position. Not the end of the world, but we found that just about everything you do with the T6 is a two-handed operation, and disabling the child lock while holding something in place can be a bit tricky.
The unit was also noisy at times, particularly when we weren't really using it. Undoubtedly a small price to pay for the convenience of instant temperature controlled water on tap, but we were still a little surprised at times. You can set the unit to power down and back up again at convenient times, so it didn't keep anybody awake at night, but in smaller, open plan living spaces, it's something to consider.
But, in all they're minor grumbles about what is an elegant, convenient addition to the average home.
The other big thing to consider is the cost. The T6 is not particularly cheap, either to buy or at first glance, to run. By joining the Strauss Water Club you're sent filters and UV lamps at timely intervals, but even on the longest, most economical plan this still works out at around £12 a month. Add to that the cost of the energy used to chill and heat the water simultaneously, admittedly offset by no more kettles and the unit's energy saving settings, and you have to do the maths before you consider shelling out.
If you drink your recommended allowance of bottled water and enjoy the ritual of a morning brew safe in the knowledge that you're doing everything you can to make the best cuppa possible, the Strauss T6 is well worth considering. We certainly didn't want to part with it once we got into the flow of using it daily.

Avcioglu goes back to go forward in ERC
By ERC
Turkish talent Orhan Avcioglu will be taking a step back to go forward when he makes his long-awaited return to the FIA European Rally Championship on Rally di Roma Capitale next week.
Avcioglu was an ever-present in the 2018 ERC as he made his full-time step up to international level in a Toksport WRT ŠKODA Fabia R5.
He had planned a second season-long ERC campaign at R5 level in 2019 only for funding issues to dictate otherwise. But as part of ongoing efforts to return to the championship's top tier for 2020, Avcioglu will contest the all-asphalt event in Italy from 19-21 July, although he will step down from ERC1 to the more accessible ERC3 category in a Peugeot 208 R2.
"We are back, albeit we are missing a rear diff and a turbo, but it's okay," the Istanbul resident said. "We are super-happy and very grateful to Toksport WRT for providing this opportunity. The plan is to do the remaining four rounds of the championship in the ERC3 class. This will give us the best opportunity to be prepared for a full-time return in 2020.
"The 2018 season was a good learning curve for us to get to know all the rallies in the ERC. The plan was to build on that experience this year. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to find financial partners to fund our R5 project so we are happy to announce that we will start Rally di Roma Capitale, one of my favourite events, with a Peugeot 208 R2 in the ERC3 class."
A multiple 2WD class title winner in Turkey and the 2017 FIA Balkan Rally Trophy champion, the 33-year-old rallied two-wheel-drive machinery up until 2013 and in fact started his career with Peugeot power in 2005. He scored overall FIA European Rally Championship points on five out of eight starts in 2018, including a season-best fifth place on the Cyprus Rally.
Avcioglu also has previous experience of Rally di Roma Capitale, finishing P12 overall and P10 in ERC1 on the event last season.
Orhan Avcioglu's planned ERC3 schedule
Rally di Roma Capitale (Italy), 19-21 July, asphalt
Barum Czech Rally Zlín, 16-18 August, asphalt
Cyprus Rally, 27-29 September, gravel
Rally Hungary, 8-10 November, asphalt

For the Horde? Russian History and the Mongol Empire
Flowers of the Mind 3. Asvina (week 1) 2021
Wallace Stevens – "The imperfect is our paradise" from "Poems of our Climate", Parts of a World (1942)
۞۞۞
During the week a fragment of reported speech was relayed to me from that the COVID zero fanatic, Brendan Crabb – not a doctor, but a molecular scientist – who alas advises my remote outer province of the empire on health policy. In a discussion about how to bring the endless war against the virus to an end, Professor Crabb was reported to say that if the pandemic were compared to World War II, then we are in 1943, not 1945.
Ah, if only I could intervene and question Professor Crabb on the analogies he draws from outside his field.
"Whose conduct of the war in 1943 were you thinking?", I might say.
"Surely, Germany. You have launched Operation Barbarossa and been defeated at the Battle of Stalingrad. You are over-extended. Fanaticism and medical malpractice is rife. Defeat is certain, but dissent is ruthlessly extinguished."
Is what I am writing a novel? The Novel would be the convenient term to give; but these fragments of imagination, essay, history, memoir, introspection, story, invented speech rather form Prose Art. The novel is an art form living off the interest of its former greatness.
From a podcast with Rod Dreher, General Eclectic (September 22), I learnt the story of Saint Galgano, Galgano Guidotti (1148 – 3 December 1181). who plunged a sword in the stone when he renounced his disordered, worldly, violent life. The sword in the stone is venerated at Montesiepi Chapel near Siena. Modern scientific tests suggest the sword is authentic, but more miraculously surely is that this story of the saint gives rise to a whole lineage of stories about Excalibur.
Such thoughts could lead to magic, but Dreher, a former Catholic and convert to the Eastern Orthodox faith, leads me, a very secular man, to contemplate becomes C.S. Lewis "The Inner Ring", my ostracism and the inspiration of Kierkegaard's Knight of Faith.
"When around one everything has become silent, solemn as a clear, starlit night, when the soul comes to be alone in the whole world, then before one there appears, not an extraordinary human being, but the eternal power itself, then the heavens open, and the I chooses itself or, more correctly, receives itself. Then the personality receives the accolade of knighthood that ennobles it for an eternity…. The knight of faith is the only happy man, the heir to the finite while the knight of resignation is a stranger and an alien."
Kierkegaard, Either/Or, Fear and Trembling
Louise Glück won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2020, a welcome return to sense after the Nobel's committee's recent wandering into Bob Dylan and sexual harassment controversies. Though I have read Glück for decades, I bought her Collected Poems during the year and read two of her poems during the week – "Otis" and "Ancient Text".
In "Otis" she echoes the forlorn wandering and wasting time by the sea of Otis Redding's song, "Sittin' by the Dock of the Bay".
This is the end, isn't it?
And you are here with me again, listening with me: the sea
no longer torments me; the self
I wished to be is the self I am.
In "Ancient Text", Glück personifies an old text, just as she had the flowers of her garden in The Wild Iris (1992), the flowers of her mind, which accepts its fate to be continuously misread.
….If I was, in a sense,
an obsessive staggering through time, in another sense
I was a winged obsessive, my moonlit
feathers were paper. I lived hardly at all among men and women;
I spoke only to angels. How fortunate my days,
how charged and meaningful the nights' continuous silence and opacity.
Louise Glück, "Ancient Text" from Seven Ages (2001)
From The American Mind podcast I learn that the American elites are denouncing themselves again as the causes of how democracies die. From this podcast I learnt that the authors of the sloppy and silly How democracies die (2017) have crept out from their rock to advocate their ideas that conflate democracy with their political opinions.
"To save our democracy, we must democratize it. A political system that repeatedly allows a minority party to control the most powerful offices in the country cannot remain legitimate for long. Following the example of other democracies, we must expand access to the ballot, reform our electoral system to ensure that majorities win elections, and weaken or eliminate antiquated institutions such as the filibuster so that majorities can actually govern."
Levitsky and Ziblatt "The Biggest Threat to Democracy Is the GOP Stealing the Next Election" The Atlantic 29 August 2021
Alas, it is too late. I had already been inoculated against these bad ideas when I read Levitsky and Ziblatt's 2017 book. To reform our governing institutions we need to recognise that we now live in a post-democratic society, and do the hard reflection on rebuilding institutions and rediscovering virtue today.
So many scenes of protest, police violence and totalitarian drives in Melbourne this last week. And from Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago I read: "without a response from public opinion, a mutiny even in a huge camp has no scope for development"

Want creativity, innovation & a meaningful life?
(Unless you want creativity, innovation & a meaningful life)
Michael J. Gelb - November 29, 2018, 10th Annual Global Peter Drucker Forum
About ten years ago the magazine of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics published an article entitled "What Can I Do With My Liberal Arts Degree?" The article begins by asking a question that many parents have asked their children when they announced that they wanted to study philosophy, history, art or music:
"What the heck are you going to do with a degree in that?"
The assumption is that the study of "soft", human-centered questions has little practical value, unless one is seeking a career as a philosophy, history, art or music teacher. If you want to be successful in an era of high technology and big data, then the so-called "hard" disciplines of science, technology, engineering and math are presumed to be the preferred path.
This notion manifests in the STEM initiatives sponsored by many companies and governments today — promoting the importance of Science, Technology Engineering and Math.
But, now more than ever, we need to integrate the hard and the soft, the technological and the human, the scientific and the artistic ways, of making sense of our world. Brilliant thinkers like fellow panelist Fred Kofman make compelling cases for Why this integration is essential.
My passion is exploring and teaching How we can find this balance within ourselves. How can we in real terms discover the integration of yin and yang?
Learning from Leonardo da Vinci
Baby ducks learn to walk by imitating their mothers. Learning by imitation is fundamental to many species including humans. The good news for us, as adults, is that we can choose whom we wish to imitate. If we are interested in the balanced, full expression of our human potential then Leonardo da Vinci can serve as an unparalleled role model.
When I was a child I had 2 heroes, Superman and Leonardo da Vinci. I remember when I discovered that Superman was only a comic book character, but Leonardo was real.
His "Mona Lisa" and "Last Supper" are among the greatest miracles of human expression. His scientific and technological innovations were far beyond his time — he conceived the concept of automation, sketched out the ball bearing, and invented the parachute before anyone could fly!
That's thinking ahead!
Leonardo serves as a universal archetype of the fulfillment of human potential and a practical role model for the integration of technology and humanities.
Before I share the 7 principles for thinking like Leonardo, let's consider the context in which our contemporary understanding of the Humanities arose.
The Marriage of Art & Science
Humanism and the idea of individual creative potential go hand-in-hand. Prior to the Renaissance, the notion of individual creativity didn't exist, because the concept of individuality as we now understand it didn't exist. Paintings, for example, remained unsigned, and painters, anonymous, because the individual was considered unimportant. All creative power was vested Above.
Gothic cathedrals like Chartres were the products of thousands of people toiling anonymously in collaborative efforts that continued over hundreds of years. The great cathedrals were designed to give the person who entered them an overwhelming feeling of insignificance in the presence of an omnipotent and omniscient Deity.
A remarkable shift occurred during the Renaissance, when the power and potency of the individual began once again to be celebrated, as they had been in classical times. In 1486, the Renaissance scholar and philosopher Pico della Mirandola offered his Oration on the Dignity of Man, heralding the shift from the medieval worldview, which disempowered the individual, to the revolutionary notion that we humans are blessed with powers of free will and creativity that are unlimited and virtually godlike.
500 years ago, Pico emphasized the importance of reengaging with the humanities. And he articulated the idea that creativity is part of what makes us uniquely human. Leonardo da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man" and Michelangelo's "David" are the best-known symbols of this humanistic rebirth of individual creativity. But there is one man, Filippo Brunelleschi, who was the pre-eminent force in the emergence of the new human-centered worldview, for he both literally and figuratively created a new human-centered perspective. Just as the Gothic cathedrals had communicated a message about humanity's place in the universe, Brunelleschi's architecture sent an equally profound but different message, as best exemplified by his dome for the Florence cathedral.
Standing beneath Brunelleschi's dome, one feels oneself to be at the center of Creation. One does not feel overpowered and belittled, but exalted and uplifted in this space. Humankind's potential is also affirmed in Brunelleschi's invention of three-dimensional perspective in art; which he taught to Masaccio, who produced the first Renaissance painting and to Donatello who created the first Renaissance sculpture. And Brunelleschi also registered the world's first patent for an invention (his remarkable ox-hoist) – thereby formalizing the legal and economic expression of the value placed on individual creative capital.
Ever since Brunelleschi got the first patent there's been an evolving relationship between creativity, the humanities and business. Then as now, technological developments drive profound change.
The feudal system of the Middle Ages collapsed for many complex reasons but accelerating technology was key, starting with the invention of the long-range cannon, which could blast through the walls of the feudal fortress. As fortress walls crumbled the printing press, magnetic compass, mechanical clock, microscope and telescope expanded European horizons exponentially. The breakthroughs that drove the transformation of the Middle Ages into the Renaissance were all made possible by the funding that became available as innovative accounting and banking systems evolved.
Brunelleschi, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael and all their fellow geniuses wouldn't have created much of anything without the Renaissance equivalent of corporate sponsorship. If the Sforza, Medici and a succession of Popes hadn't provided the cash, the Florence cathedral would've remained open to the elements and there would have been no "Last Supper," "David" or "School of Athens."
The entrepreneurial spirit provides the most energy and opportunity for creative expression. And now, as we face unprecedented global environmental, financial and social challenges, the ability to integrate science, technology, profit, art and the humanities is more urgent and important than ever.
Historian of science George Sarton writes:
"Since the growth of knowledge is the core of progress, the history of science ought to be the core of general history. Yet the main problems of life cannot be solved by scientists alone, or by artists and humanists: we need the cooperation of them all."
Leonardo gave practical advice to his students on how to cultivate that cooperation through the marriage of art and science. I spent years studying Leonardo's notebooks and literally walking in his footsteps and aiming to see the world from his point of view with one unifying question: What can we learn from him to fulfill our human potential?
Here's a brief overview of the 7 da Vinci principles as described in How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day :
1. Inspire Curiosity: Curiosità
Who asks the most questions?
Who has the most vivid imagination?
And who has the most energy?
Curiosity is our birthright.
Passionate questioning allows children to learn rapidly in the first five years of life. But then we send them to school, where they learn that answers are more important than questions.
Geniuses like da Vinci, however, maintain a passionate curiosity throughout life. And the most creative, innovative businesses are alive with the spirit of Curiosità.
2. Cultivate Independent Thinking: Dimostrazione
Besides the strictures of the Church, what was the biggest impediment to independent thinking at the time of Leonardo?
Information was hard to get. Books were rare. And only available in Latin, which you wouldn't have learned unless you were from a noble family. (Leonardo taught himself Latin when he was 40 years old so he could read the classics as they became available).
What's the impediment to independent thinking today? Too much information! How do we cut through the tsunami of spam to think for ourselves?
Leonardo provides relevant guidance. He noted,
"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions."
3. Sharpen Your Senses: Sensazione
In business, this translates into listening well and being observant — simple advice that's difficult to heed in an increasingly distracted world.
Leonardo guides us to sharpen all our senses, and put more dolce in our vita, by cultivating the appreciation of beauty.
4. Embrace Uncertainty: Sfumato
The essence of creativity is to be willing to be surprised. That's the -nova in innovation.
Leonardo counsels us to smile in the face of uncertainty and ambiguity so creative ideas can emerge.
5. Balance Logic and Imagination: Arte/Scienza
Like Leonardo da Vinci, be a whole brain thinker. Use mind mapping, a practical method inspired by Leonardo's note-taking, to integrate logic and imagination and generate more ideas in less time.
6. Balance Body and Mind: Corporalità
In addition to being an artistic and scientific genius, Leonardo was also an exceptional athlete, widely known as the strongest man in Florence, and an accomplished fencer, horseman and juggler.
We think of creativity as an intellectual exercise, but it requires tremendous energy. Leonardo gives specific practical advice on how to cultivate health and wellness. He advises,
"Learn to preserve your own health."
7. Make New Connections: Connessione
Leonardo noted:
"Everything connects to everything else."
Like Peter Drucker, he guides us toward a systems perspective, to look for connections and patterns, to take a more holistic view of ourselves and our organizations. STEM to STEAM
In a meta-study coordinated at MIT, researchers discovered that scientists and engineers who are involved in an artistic pursuit, in other words, engaged in the humanities, are much more likely to be outstanding scientists and engineers.
Indeed, compared to general scientists, technologists, etc. members of the US National Academy of Sciences are 1.7 times more likely to be involved in the humanities/arts, members of the British Royal Society are 1.8 times more likely to be involved in the humanities/arts and Nobel Laureates are 2.8 times more likely to be engaged in the humanities/arts.
STEM must be replaced by STEAM.
Science, Technology, Engineering, ART and Math.
And Leonardo da Vinci can serve us as the supreme role model for the power of STEAM.

superhero, animated film, narrative structure, the hero's journey
2019 is a phenomenal year for the development of the Malaysian animated film industry as it has successfully produced two superheroes animated films in total. However, the animated film industry in Malaysia is still not competitive at the international level. This can be seen from the 17 animated films that have been produced from 1998 to 2019, only two superheroes animated films managed to get the attention of the audience. This is due to the lack of knowledge of the concept and function of the hero character in animated films. Therefore, the main objective of this paper aims to demonstrate how the Hero's Journey narrative structure can be applied in BoBoiBoy Movie 2 (2019). This research method involves the use of video analysis tools namely Kinovea and Motion Picture Analysis Worksheet to explain on how the Hero's Journey of this film conveys the storytelling. The results of this study found that each semicircle Hero's narrative structure has an important meaning across from one half-circle to the other half-circle. As a result, it explains the concept of peace and chaos as well as stasis and changes in the narrative structure of superhero animated films. This paper will provide information to researchers on the importance and use of the Hero's Journey approach to analyze superhero animated films.

The Story Behind The Nemalux Logo: Our Brand History
Everyone likes a good story. Did you know our logo has a technical background?
The Nemalux logo is derived from universal and mathematic patterns used in many scientific and engineering disciplines. Generally, this pattern is related to electromagnetic phenomena, including the phenomenon of light. It can be considered a hyperbolic or Euclidian pattern. The pattern in many ways represents the Nemalux history and experience in wireless SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Physics.
The Nemalux logo is a rendering of a phenomenon called the Doppler Shift. In brief, if an observer moves toward a light at high speed, the light appears to change colour to a shorter (bluer) wavelength. The Doppler Shift is also observed when a vehicle sounding a siren or horn approaches, passes and recedes from an observer. Compared to the emitted frequency, the received frequency is higher during the approach, identical at the instant of passing by, and lower during the recession.
The Nemalux logo is also similar to a Smith Chart, a graphical aid designed for electrical and electronics engineers specializing in radio frequency (RF). Also, the Nemalux logo, which includes arcs of a circle whose ends are perpendicular to the disk's boundary, is modeled after the Poincaré disk model in hyperbolic geometry, which are intrinsic parts of the universal patterns.
As with our logo, we at Nemalux continually strive to develop state-of-the-art LED lights based on sound scientific principles. We are passionate about building expertise in every aspect of our company. Our story continues to grow.
We'd love to help with your industrial LED lighting solutions. Please feel free to contact our staff at any time.
Nemalux takes pride in designing and manufacturing industry leading industrial and hazardous location outdoor LED lighting solutions.

Usona Institute Publishes Synthesis and Characterization of cGMP 5-MeO-DMT
MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Usona Institute has published a multigram-scale process describing the synthesis of 5-MeO-DMT in the open-access journal ACS Omega. The newly developed procedure emphasizes scalability, controllability, and reproducibility with detailed chemical and physical characterization to support further clinical research with 5-MeO-DMT as a potential treatment for mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and eating disorders.
Though several synthetic routes to 5-MeO-DMT have been previously described, none were amenable to providing material with sufficient quantity or quality to initiate controlled clinical trials with this substance. In addition to identifying a viable route of manufacture, solid-state characterization studies led to the development of the novel succinic acid salt of 5-MeO-DMT to provide a stable, water soluble, crystalline solid appropriate for formulation into a sterile injectable solution.
"The motivation to advance 5-MeO-DMT clinically is built upon several decades of investigation describing pioneering human exploration with this substance. Almost invariably, early research has indicated that 5-MeO-DMT warrants further examination. Providing access to high purity pharmaceutical-grade drug represents the first step towards designing controlled first-in-human studies to better understand the safety and potential therapeutic efficacy with this unique substance." – Alex Sherwood, PhD, Usona medicinal chemist
5-MeO-DMT is a potent, short-acting, and naturally occurring psychedelic. Increasing references in published data indicates that it may have both therapeutic and patient access advantages over other long-acting psychedelics due to its unique pharmacology and shorter duration of psychoactivity. Recent academic studies with 5-MeO-DMT in a non-clinical setting have suggested potential clinical benefit in many of the same conditions as other potential psychedelic treatments currently in clinical research, such as psilocybin, MDMA, and others.
Usona's medicinal chemistry team continues to build a library of known and novel psychedelic research compounds for early screening and discovery. This work is now available to the multidisciplinary psychedelic research community. Making this development publicly available is the result of Usona's Open Science commitment to advance scientific knowledge and research for the common good.
Usona Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit medical research organization (MRO) that conducts and supports pre-clinical and clinical research to further the understanding of the therapeutic effects of psilocybin and other consciousness-expanding medicines. Usona relies on the generosity of donors, partner organizations, and scientific collaborators who share in a commitment to advance research that has the potential to alleviate depression and anxiety in people for whom current medical treatments fall short in offering relief and a better quality of life.

Pro Boxing vs. Amateur Boxing — What Are The Differences?
Boxing is one of the earliest forms of combat in human history. While humans have been fighting since the times of Adam, the earliest evidence of hand-to-hand combat can be seen in Sumerian carvings from the 3rd millennia BC.
Initially, boxing started to evolve and consolidate itself into a professional sport in the mid-19th century, mainly in Great Britain with the introduction of the Queensberry Rules. And as time passed, the sport evolved into two categories – Amateur and Professional boxing.
Both types of boxing have the same basic foundation, but each has its own distinctions which we will discuss in this article.
Pro Boxing vs. Amateur Boxing Events
Boxing has two main streams of sports. The professional world is slightly different from the amateur world. This has an impact on both their training and fighting.
The main differences are:
Salary: Professional boxers get the big purse, multi-million dollar deals, and exposure. Amateur boxers on the other hand get lower salaries and less exposure. Moreover, amateur fighters usually get paid indirectly or via the Olympic committees of their country or the amateur boxing promotions.
Point Scoring: Professional boxing is all about entertainment. That is why you will see more action in a professional fight. On the other hand, amateur bouts are all about point scoring and keeping it technical. So you will notice lesser knockouts in an amateur bout.
Headgear: Amateur boxers have to wear headgear in most bouts, especially in the Olympics. Professional boxers on the other hand, do not wear headgear.
Gloves: Amateur gloves are colored either red or blue with a white patch in the middle. This allows the judges to count their points. The fighter's punch will only count when the white lands on the opponent's face or body.
Rounds: Male amateur boxers have a maximum of three rounds with three minutes in each round. Females have four rounds with two minutes in each round. The fighters are allowed a one-minute rest period in between the rounds.
Ring Size: In amateur boxing, the ring size cannot be smaller than 16×16 feet and no larger than 20×20. Although, in professional boxing, the ring size can vary, depending on the promotion's choice.
Standing Eight Count Rule: In amateur boxing, a boxer who has received heavy blows receives a standing eight count from the referee. This is done in order to save the boxer from getting knocked out. After three standing eight counts in a row, the fighter loses. In professional boxing, no such rule exists. A professional bout will only end in a knockout, TKO or a doctor's stoppage.
What Makes An Amateur Boxer?
Amateur boxing is found mainly at the collegiate level, at the Olympics, Asian Games, and Commonwealth Games. Other arenas where you will see amateur boxers compete are sanctioned by amateur boxing athletic commissions.
Athletes will start training at young ages and work their way up in their respective leagues. After developing enough skills, amateur boxers usually represent their countries in the Olympic games. Some of the most notable fighters who have competed in the Olympics include Floyd Mayweather, George Foreman, Pernell Whittaker, Roy Jones Jr, Deontay Wilder, and Gennady Golovkin.
Most amateur fighters immediately turn pro after their Olympic careers. This is considered to be the traditional route toward becoming a professional boxer.
What Is Professional Boxing?
Professional bouts can last up to twelve rounds with three minutes each and a resting period of one minute between each round.
One of the key strengths of a professional boxer is their stamina. Professional boxing is extremely taxing, that is why professional boxers run so much. And that is one of the main reasons why amateur boxers rarely compete against professionals – because they cannot keep up with a pro boxer's pace.
If we look at the uniform, professional boxers have to fight without a vest or a shirt. Additionally, headgear isn't allowed in their fights. Their shoes, gloves, and shorts can be of any color with their sponsor's branding on their clothes.
Stoppage Rules
Professional bouts can end with a knockout, technical knockout, or a doctor's stoppage. A doctor's stoppage occurs when a fighter is unable to continue fighting if the doctor declares so.
For this reason, fighters usually have cutmen in their corners to treat cuts in between rounds.
How Does One Go From Amateur To Professional Boxing?
After an amateur boxer has proved themselves in the amateur leagues, they can move on to the big leagues and start making some real money.
Many professional boxing scouts are on the hunt for young amateur talent. So one of the most common ways to go professional is to build up enough repute for yourself so that promoters start noticing you.
The conventional route towards becoming a professional boxer is to start young, train hard, get an excellent mentor/coach, get your amateur boxing license, win some fights, excel at a tournament, hire a manager, get yourself a professional boxing license and when you have built up a great record, go pro.
Can Amateur Boxers Compete Against Professionals?
You might be surprised but professional fighters can compete in the Olympics against amateur fighters.
Although amateur boxing is quite different, a large number of pro boxers compete in the 2016 and 2020 Olympics.
There are many reasons why top-level boxers may never switch back to amateur boxing, the most obvious one is money. Because there is little to no money in amateur boxing. Moreover, the charm and fame of professional boxing is something that the amateur leagues severely lack.
Although amateur and professional boxing seem quite similar at the first glance, they are immensely different from each other.
