About | MzTEK - 0 views

  •  
    "MzTEK is a non-profit organisation with the aim of addressing the imbalance of women artists working in the fields of new media, computer arts, and technology." My London cousin knows these women and says they are really dynamic and terrific. Although their offerings are f2f, they do have online communities. I like the statement that they are aiming to correct an imbalance, which we may be able to use.

Half an Hour: Beyond Institutions: Personal Learning in a Networked World - 0 views

  •  
    Presentation by Stephen Downes to the London School of Economics, pretty ironic for Stephen to give a lecture on how learning is different now, August 2014. "People are looking for learning that isn't so much the repetition of their professors' ideas, but learning that they can apply, that is a part of their life, whether it's part of their life in work, part of their life in their hobbies or their avocations, or part of their life just in what interests them. They expect universities to be flexible."

5 Steps for Creating Healthy Habits | The Chopra Center - 0 views

  • Step 1: Set Goals by Baselining Your Health
  • Step 3: Identify Harmful Patterns
  • Visualizing your desired outcome is a useful tool in your journey. “Seeing” yourself as you wish to be has helped smokers quit, obese people lose weight, and sports champions achieve their goals. In order to change the printout of the body, you must learn to rewrite the software of the mind.

  • Step 4: Make Steady Changes
  • One way to break that cycle is to reward ourselves in a different way. Instead of eating cake, we can go play a game or listen to music.
  • Some of the choices that trigger dopamine's release: eating sweet foods, taking drugs, having sex.
  • So begin with a victory you can define and which means something to you.
  • How long does it take to form a new habit? An average of 66 days, according to a 2009 study from University College, London. Repetition and giving yourself time to adjust are the main factors in forming a new behavior pattern.
