"George Michael: 20 Essential Songs"



 MUSIC & CREATIVITY

BY Christopher R. Weingarten et al. via Rolling Stone


George Michael, was an English singer, songwriter, and record producer who rose to fame as a member of the music duo Wham! He was best known for his work in the 1980s and 1990s; and sold more than 100 million records worldwide. In the early hours of 25 December 2016, Michael, aged 53, was found dead in bed at his Oxfordshire home.The best of the pop icon's hits, duets and reinventions... Revisit 20 essential George Michael songs, from his days in Wham! to his late-period dance singles.


Following his early-Eighties breakthrough with Wham!, George Michael swiftly transitioned from teenage pretty boy to outspoken pop force. "I think it says something for the power of the music," he told Rolling Stone after the release of his smash 1987 solo debut, Faith, "that I've managed to change the perception of what I do to the degree that I have in this short a time. Because it's something that a lot of people thought wasn't possible." In the years that followed, the singer-songwriter would go on to collaborate with idols such as Aretha Franklin and Elton John, and confront social and sexual taboos in increasingly bold fashion on four Number One albums and a lengthy string of Top 10 singles. Here are 20 of the Michael's best, from Wham!'s breakthrough up through his final U.S. hit.

"THE SURPRISING SCIENCE OF HAPPINESS"




  CREATIVITY & LIFE

  DAN GILBERT AT TED TALKS




Dan Gilbert, author of "Stumbling on Happiness," challenges the idea that we’ll be miserable if we don’t get what we want. Our "psychological immune system" lets us feel truly happy even when things don’t go as planned.

Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert says our beliefs about what will make us happy are often wrong — a premise he supports with intriguing research, and explains in his accessible and unexpectedly funny book, Stumbling on Happiness. Dan Gilbert  asks why are we happy? Watch now this great talk...

"INK MASTER" Lesson in Feminist Strategy




CULTURE & DISRUPT
 "INK  MASTER"
Lesson in Feminist Strategy
BY EMILY DREYFUSS VIA WIRED.COM


HOW INK MASTER BECAME AN UNEXPECTED LESSON IN FEMINIST STRATEGY: America didn’t get its first woman president this year. That title went to a reality TV star instead. But on reality TV tonight, odds are that America will get its first woman Ink Master—contestants Kelly Doty and Ryan Ashley Malarkey are two of the three finalists. And if it happens, it will very likely be because the women on the show took a hint from the Obama administration.

 
This season #INKMASTER went from TV’s most masculine reality shows to the home of a Feminist uprising... The women on the Spike TV show formed an alliance that systematically worked to highlight each other’s strengths and pack the finale with as many women as possible. It was an example of “amplification,” which holds that women can help each other’s voices be heard in masculine environments by supporting and highlighting each other. The tactic recently made headlines when the women of President Obama’s cabinet told the world they employed it to have their voices heard in the White House. Ironically, that kind of amplification was exactly what Hillary Clinton didn’t receive. READ FULL ARTICLE VIA WIRED.COM
