[/center]
Between the two World Wars that would change the course of modern history, a smaller yet deeply impactful conflict took place. The Spanish Civil War was fought from 1936 to 1939. On the one hand, it was a local conflict on the margins of Europe. On the other hand, the conflict can also be seen as a microcosm of war in the 20th century. Not only did the Spanish Civil War foreshadow the global conflagration to come, but it also had its roots in the modern era s central divides: urban versus rural, religion versus secularization, rich versus poor, progress versus tradition, democracy versus fascism and communism.

The only exposure many of us have had to information about the Spanish Civil War comes from the cultural reflections of the time, such as artistic masterpieces like Pablo Picasso s painting Guernica and Ernest Hemingway s novel For Whom the Bell Tolls. Beyond these representations, however, the shadow of the war lives on as new information continues to emerge about the authoritarian rule of General Francisco Franco in Spain and the nation he built out of the rubble after the war between the left-wing Republican government and the right-wing Nationalist insurgency.

In this course, you will have the opportunity to explore this fascinating, complex, and often brutal time in history. How the Spanish Civil War Became Europe s Battlefield takes you to the front line and introduces you to the competing coalitions on each side to look at the issues of a perennially confounding military, political, and social history. Taught by Professor Pamela B. Radcliff of the University of California, San Diego, these 24 scintillating lectures survey the aspects of an endlessly multifaceted history. Along the way, you will investigate key questions, such as

How did Spain transition from a seemingly peaceful democracy to a nation torn by war?
What role did the Catholic Church and the international community including Soviet communists, Italian fascists, and German Nazis play in the conflict?
How did ordinary soldiers, citizens, clergy, workers, and business owners experience the civil war?
Why did the Republican side lose, and what did this mean for Spain s future?
Next, you will reflect on the complicated legacy of the war. Since the Nationalist leader General Francisco Franco took power and held authoritarian rule for decades after the war, information about the war itself was limited until the later decades of the 20th century. Only recently, scholars have been able to evaluate terror campaigns, concentration camps, and other wartime atrocities. Professor Radcliff delves into these so-called memory wars of the 21st century to show how multiple narratives of the war continue to proliferate.

How the Spanish Civil War Became Europe s Battlefield is a magnificent overview of an astonishing history from the political polarization in the Second Republic to the urban warfare during the war years.

Examine the Roots of Spanish Nationalism

In July 1936, Spanish military leaders conspired to overthrow the democratically elected Spanish Republican government. But their coup s partial failure turned into an almost three-year-long total war that claimed about a half a million lives and resulted in the exile of 250,000 Spanish nationals.

To set the stage for this monumental conflict, Professor Radcliff goes back to establishment of a democratic Republic in 1931, when the nation was bifurcated largely on urban and rural lines. The interior of the country was largely agricultural, traditional yet impoverished; whereas, the urban centers, led by progressive intellectuals, were perceived as elite and out of touch.

Political polarization from these geographic and class tensions came to a boiling point in 1936 when military garrisons led by General Franco attempted a surgical coup. Although the coup failed, the spasm divided the military and ushered the country into local violence and, ultimately, state collapse.

Trace the Course of the War

The summer of 1936 was one of the bloodiest seasons in Spanish history, in which tens of thousands of civilians including the poet Federico Garcia Lorca were massacred in lawless states that resembled the Wild West. In this opening act, a series of decentralized groups coalesced in two broad camps: progressive Republicans, as well as socialist workers and communists, on the side of the government and Catholics, Nationalists, and even outright fascists on the side of the insurgency.

At the time, the war seemed to represent a larger European contest, where democracy, fascism, and communism were competing to define the region s future. For that reason, it attracted international attention from the major world powers, from fascist Germany and Italy to the Soviet Union, Britain, France, and the United States, as well as from ordinary citizens including the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, memorialized in the writing of Ernest Hemingway.

In How the Spanish Civil War Became Europe s Battlefield, Professor Radcliff surveys the war over its three-year span, delving into each side s strategies, alliances, and propaganda. In addition to Franco, you ll meet such figures as Manuel Aza a, the Republican president; Largo Caballero, the revolutionary socialist who influenced the radical wing of the Socialist party; and Dolores Ibarruri, a prominent female labor leader immortalized through passionate speeches written under the pen name La Pasionaria.

Legacy of War, Lessons for Today

As you will discover, both Republicans and Nationalists gradually centralized their military operations and employed repressive tactics on soldiers and civilians alike. The violence, however, was asymmetric, with the Nationalists ultimately prevailing. General Franco became el caudillo ( the leader ) of an authoritarian regime for more than 35 years.

Professor Radcliff rounds out the course with a deep consideration of the war s legacy. Even today, the ghosts of this 20th-century war still haunt contemporary Spain, with no national consensus on how it fits into the trajectory of Spanish history. After the war, Franco s regime buried records of atrocities. The true death toll and economic accounting have only recently come to light, leading to battles in scholarship over how to interpret the war.

Was the Spanish Civil War a victory of totalitarian fascism or was it a backstop against the rising red tide of communism? Was Franco a ruthless war criminal or a defender of the faith? Most important, what can the war tell us about democracy today as many of the same divides over rich and poor, progress and tradition, religion and secularism, continue to inspire passionate intensity?

There are no easy answers, but How the Spanish Civil War Became Europe s Battlefield offers a powerful survey of a defining moment in Spanish and European history.

TTC - Post-Impressionism: The Beginnings of Modern Art

In the late 19th century, a revolution was underway in the art world. In the span of just a few years, some of the most remarkable artworks of the period emerged in close succession. These groundbreaking painters, and others, formed the multifaceted movement art historians call Post-Impressionism.

[/center]
1886: The tiny, shimmering dots of Georges Seurat s A Sunday on the Island of La Grande Jatte reveal a totally new way of painting.

1888: Paul S rusier s daring landscape The Talisman casts aside centuries of pictorial realism.

1889: Vincent van Gogh s The Starry Night explodes from the canvas with seething energy, wild brushstrokes, and passionate feeling.

1894: The ghostly faces and red sky of Edvard Munch s Anxiety probe beneath the placid veneer of civilized society.

This was a time of vast change, both in European society and in art. But of all the innovators in painting of the 19th century and those that followed, perhaps the most pivotal and transformational of all were the Post-Impressionists.

It was this college of artists who most radically broke with the artistic conventions of the past; developed entirely new ways of seeing and painting; and paved the way for abstraction in art and movements like Cubism and Modernism. Centered in France, and radiating outward to the larger world, Post-Impressionism forever changed the language, conception, and methods of painting, giving viewers new ways of perceiving and understanding visual experience.

In the process of changing the art world so thoroughly, the Post-Impressionists produced an incredible number of the most beloved paintings in the history of art, including works from artists such as Paul C zanne, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Henri Rousseau, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

Post-Impressionism: The Beginnings of Modern Art takes you deeply into this extraordinary world of color and light, where you will experience a galvanizing and game-changing era in painting across 24 lectures. In the brilliant presentation of Professor Ricky Allman, of the University of Missouri Kansas City, this course tells an epic story, unfurling a spectacular panorama of paintings, revealing the artists reimagining of their tools, methods, and goals. As Professor Allman puts it, Now that the Impressionists have unlocked the door, the Post-Impressionists are going to blow it off its hinges.

To know this history-making era in painting, and the phenomenal spectrum of masterworks it produced, is to experience one of Western art s most glorious moments. The spellbinding imagery of Post-Impressionists continues to touch us deeply today.

Encounter Painters of Vision and Genius

Broadly speaking, the Post-Impressionists were more interested in what they felt than what they saw. They not only invented extraordinary new pictorial techniques and visual effects, but they also looked for ways to go beneath the surface level of reality, to tell deeper and more compelling truths. Within the wide spectrum of painters presented in the course, Professor Allman will guide you on an in-depth exploration of the work of

Paul C zanne. Take the measure of C zanne s massive impact both as a painter and a major influence on other artists. In his iconic landscapes and still lifes, observe how he distilled subject matter to essential underlying forms, painting objects from more than one angle at once, dismantling and reassembling visual perception and opening new ways of seeing.
Georges Seurat. Track the process by which Seurat pioneered the technique of divisionism or pointillism, where colors applied separately on the canvas are blended by the viewer s eye. Witness his use of this technique in Bathers at Asni res, La Grande Jatte, and in his electric evocations of Parisian life and culture, giving the world a uniquely different way of painting.
Vincent van Gogh. In two detailed and penetrating lectures, get to the heart of what made Van Gogh one of the most famous artists of all time. Observe how his troubled youth, passionate spirit, personal relationships, and his mental illness figured into the development of his work, leading to paintings of searing visual intensity, glorious color, and larger-than-life emotion.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Go behind the scenes of Toulouse-Lautrec s dazzling paintings of Parisian night life the lush, sensual views of caf s, music halls, circuses, and brothels that remain some of the most beloved images of the Belle poque. Learn about his work process, and how he pioneered wide visibility for his art through the medium of prints.
Witness the Transformation of an Art Form

In addition to the most iconic painters within Post-Impressionism, you ll explore a rich range of lesser-known artists, as well as key sub-movements, which round out the story of this revolutionary era in art.

Among these, you ll learn how a group of painters known as Neo-Impressionists used the parameters of optics and color theory developed by Seurat to pursue a political use of art, seen in the work of extraordinary artists like Paul Signac, Th o van Rysselberghe, and others. You ll meet the artists called the Nabis, including painters such as Pierre Bonnard and douard Vuillard, who sought deeper levels of reality within imagery of daily life. And you ll discover the remarkable creations of the Symbolists, such as James Ensor, Evelyn de Morgan, and F licien Rops, who used dream, horror, and myth to challenge and provoke their viewers.

As the inquiry progresses, you ll devote lectures to seminal painters such as

Paul Gauguin. Within a complex legacy, come to grips with the greatness of Gauguin s work, from his early landscapes and still lifes and bold, symbolic paintings to his luminous, mystical evocations of Tahitian life. Against this background, look into the dark side of his personality, his treatment of women, and his artistic misrepresentation of other cultures.
Suzanne Valadon. Follow Valadon s highly unusual journey to becoming an important Post-Impressionist painter, in the wake of a career as a model for other major artists. Study her extraordinary work, highlighting her beautiful, empathetic depictions of women and domestic life, and her complex, richly colored, boundary-pushing compositions.
Gustav Klimt. At the end of the Post-Impressionist era, enter the world of this unique, visionary artist. From his glowing portraits of beautiful society women to his symbol-rich, golden-toned canvasses, see how he straddled Post-Impressionism, Art Nouveau, and the Sezession movement, creating paintings of astonishing visual power.
Travel into a World-Changing Era

These thrilling and richly informative lectures rest on the exceptional knowledge, insight, and artist s eye of Professor Allman. Throughout this inquiry, he brings his own lived experience as a fine arts painter to the discussion of the works at hand, offering revealing insights into the paintings from an artist s perspective.

For example, in highlighting the unusual atmosphere of Odilon Redon s Evocation of Butterflies, Professor Allman points out that the ethereal texture of the orange background appears to be shaped by the flapping of the insects wings, as if the painter s brushstrokes are evoking gentle currents of air. And he delves into the painterly secrets of Henri Rousseau s famous depictions of jungles, based in an ingenious method of layering multiple varieties of green, with each plant seeming to have a different temperature of color.

Finally, across the span of the course, Professor Allman brings alive the dramatic social and historical backdrop that shaped these great works of art, providing detailed biographical information of numerous painters. He also shows that the many factors altering the fabric of European life, thus, shaped its art, such as the 19th-century Industrial Revolution; rail travel; photography; popular culture; the Franco-Prussian War; and the ideas of Hegel, Nietzsche, and Freud.

In Post-Impressionism: The Beginnings of Modern Art you ll relive a breathtaking and transformative era in painting. Its deep impact on aesthetics and visual culture is still a force in the world today.

The incredible wealth and diversity of wildlife is one of the great treasures of our planet. In North America alone, our ecosystems teem with an amazing range of wild creatures, from majestic elk, moose, bears, bison, mountain lions, caribou, and wolves to some 800 bird species, and an astonishing number of smaller mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

[/center]
Although we are coinhabitants with the animal life in our biosphere, many of us live far from the places where wild creatures thrive. But wherever we may live, it s easy to miss the full richness of the wildlife around us unless we know where to look and what to look for.

Here is where the skill of wildlife tracking offers an extraordinary window into our natural environments. Wildlife tracking, encompassing many areas of knowledge, is the practiced facility of identifying and following the tracks, trails, and other evidence of animal life we find in woods, deserts, rivers, lakes, mountains, plains, and our own backyards. The knowledge we gain, as well as the insight and heightened awareness tracking gives us, allows for a deeper experience of the ecosystems we enter, and the ability to locate, appreciate, and enjoy the animal life we find there.

Tracking opens a compelling and powerful way to relate to animals and the ecosystems they live in, bringing us into intimate contact with wildlife and the ever-changing environments they call home. In Nature Watching: How to Find and Observe Wildlife, you ll travel into the wonders of the natural world, learning and practicing the skills of tracking, as you explore the wild, natural environments that inspire you. Your guide is Casey McFarland of CyberTracker Conservation, a senior professional tracker, teacher of wildlife guides, and a passionate advocate of the wilderness and the magnificent spectrum of life that awaits you there.

Delve into the Wonder and Mystery of Animal Behavior

These 24 exciting episodes introduce you to the core skills of wildlife tracking, illustrated through a rich range of location photography, video footage, and Mr. McFarland s expert and inspired teaching. A grasp of the skills of tracking gives you the chance to

Go into the field and see things most others don t see; to read the landscapes of wild places, as professional trackers do;
Observe animal life across a broad spectrum, from beetles and cicadas, soaring hawks and swallows to wild canines, felines, hooved animals, bears, rodents, and the wild inhabitants of more faraway places;
Deeply sensitize yourself to natural landscapes and ecosystems, and to blend in and go unnoticed;
Recognize the trails; tracks; and the marking, feeding, bedding, and mating behavior of a wide range of mammals, birds, reptiles, insects, and more;
Discover the amazing world of animal communication, found in marking spots, buck rubs, animal calls, and the many other ways that animals gather and transmit information; and
Know the deep sense of connection and intimacy with nature that tracking brings.
Casey s gripping commentary brims with real-life tracking adventures, as you travel the world in his company, on the trail of the remarkable creatures that populate our biosphere. In each lesson, you ll study a key skill of tracking, concluding with a field assignment, where you ll put the skills and information you ve learned into practice. You will be able to take your new knowledge into wild places, building the skills of tracking in whatever environment you choose.

And Casey makes it clear that the principles of tracking we learn in our home ecosystems apply everywhere in the world. You can use your knowledge of the tracks of the bobcat in the United States, the bedding behavior of caribou, or the mating rituals of hummingbirds in wild environments across the planet.

Learn to Track Nature s Wild Creatures in the Field

In this practical and hands-on course, you ll take a detailed overview of what expert trackers do, as you build skill with essential elements of tracking, such as

The Lore and Magic of Animal Tracks. Over the course of four episodes, learn to identify the paw, hoof, and foot prints animals leave on the landscape. Study how tracks look in different ground and weather conditions. Learn to read the age of tracks; whether tracks are front or back, right or left; and the gait patterns that tell us much about an animal s behavior.
Tracking the Amazing World of Birds. Discover what tracking teaches us about the avian world: Take a deep dive into bird feathers, which reveal a bird s style of flight and other vital clues; bird nests, how birds build them and what they tell us; and bird language, the remarkable range of bird vocalization and inflection, and the information birds convey;
The Potent Language of Animal Marking. Across various episodes, grasp how animals are just as involved in communication as we are. Investigate the multiple ways animals use scent, to mark territory, transmit information, create community bulletin boards, and participate in mating rituals, and how as trackers we can decipher a world of information from their marks;
Going Invisible and Recalibrating Your Senses. Look deeply into what tracking requires of us as visitors to wild places; learn the principles of camouflage, appropriate clothing, and unobtrusive movement in the field; begin the process of retraining and heightening your senses and awareness, so as to become highly sensitized to the environments you enter;
Bedding, Nesting, and Mating in the Wild. Take an intimate look into animal behavior through their bedding spots, highlighting those of deer and bears; see what tracking uncovers about the tunnels and digs of prairie dogs, badgers, and other burrowing creatures; and delve into animal mating rituals, and find intriguing evidence in the field of those of elk and rabbits;
The Art of Trailing. Over two episodes, study the core skill of following an animal in the field over a distance. Learn the strategies expert trackers use, paying attention to many clues beyond the tracks, scanning the landscape ahead, and monitoring the direction of air currents. Grasp how to glean important information by listening, and how to re-find the trail if you ve lost it.
Enjoy an Intimate Immersion in Natural Life around You

Throughout these richly informative episodes, Casey illustrates the principles and methods of tracking through demonstrations and engrossing stories of tracking in the field. Among many examples, you ll travel with him on the trail of wild elk in Wyoming, mountain lions in Colorado and Chile, macaques in Taiwan, elephants in Kenya, and follow the astonishing migration route of the blackpoll warbler from Alaska to Brazil.

Through these encounters, and with your new skills, you ll experience how tracking takes us vividly into the lives of animals, as they lead us to where they feed, and where they bed, hunt, mate, and raise their young revealing how they see the world, and offering us a unique perspective other than our own.

In Nature Watching: How to Find and Observe Wildlife, you ll encounter the stunning beauty and diversity of our planet, its wild creatures, and its rich ecosystems, as you discover a different and richly rewarding way of knowing the world.

TTC - Propaganda and Persuasion
Released 5/2023
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch

[center]
Persuasion is a central element of our daily lives. Whether it is a politician angling for a vote, a business advertising a product, a parent asking a child to get dressed, or a friend suggesting a certain restaurant for dinner, we are constantly trying to persuade others to our point of view, and experiencing others attempts to persuade us.

[/center]
Persuasion along with its cousins: propaganda, manipulation, and coercion has always been part of the human experience. The 20th and 21st centuries, however, have seen the rise of mass media and an explosion of digital messaging, making it critical for us to understand the tools and science of persuasion.

Today, not only do we need to be able to influence others, but we must be able to recognize when the techniques of persuasion are being used on us. Propaganda and Persuasion gives you a one-of-a-kind opportunity to explore the powerful, fascinating and occasionally dangerous world of influence. Taught by Professor Dannagal G. Young of the University of Delaware, these 12 eye-opening lectures arm you with the tools of effective communication and the insight to understand and perhaps resist persuasion in all its forms.

As you will discover, the domains of persuasion and propaganda include politics, advertising, relationships, public health, social media, and more. Professor Young walks you through each of these, beginning with a historical account of persuasion. Here you will

Go back to the time of Aristotle to learn about two types of persuasion, the rational logos (the head) and the emotional pathos (the heart), and the overlap between the two.
Witness the rise of the concept of the masses alongside newspaper and radio, as well as the development of the publicity man and the field of public relations.
Explore the dark side of propaganda as it was perfected during the Third Reich.
See how post-war America opened new opportunities for the advertising Mad Men of Madison Avenue.
Consider new challenges in our era of digital communications and social media.
Successfully navigating our contemporary world means understanding persuasion in speech, media, messaging, imagery, and more. Propaganda and Persuasion is, therefore, an invaluable resource for your life as a citizen, colleague, consumer, and human being at large.

Explore Mass Media and Persuasion

One of your first lectures in this course is an examination of how mass media completely upended civilization in the early 20th century. Thanks to books, newspapers, and radio, even though people were spread out geographically, those individuals (called masses ) could receive the same messages and perhaps even be influenced in similar ways.

Public relations and consumer marketing are so prevalent in our lives today that it can be astonishing to step back and consider that entire communication fields had to be invented. For example, you will meet Edward Bernays, considered the father of public relations, who in the early 20th century recognized the opportunity of mass media and developed communications for the anonymous masses.

And, of course, there was a dark side to these developments. Professor Young shows how Adolph Hitler learned from the American propaganda techniques of World War I and perfected them in the engine of death that was the Third Reich. Examining the control of media and messaging in Nazi Germany lays bare the distinction between persuasion which requires a free choice and propaganda.

Mass persuasion is fraught with difficult ethical questions. What is the difference between ethical persuasion and manipulation or coercion? How can you employ the techniques of persuasion while still respecting an individual s free will?

Unpack the Mechanisms of Persuasion

To dive into these thorny issues of persuasion and propaganda, Professor Young introduces social science frameworks that explain why people respond to certain kinds of persuasion. For example, if someone says they value health, but their diet or exercise habits suggest otherwise, what s going on? What is their motivation?

Human beings are complex and nuanced creatures, so a study of persuasion is really an examination of the deepest recesses of our minds. Sometimes we are persuaded by Aristotle s logos (cool rationality); whereas, other times we need an appeal to pathos (an emotional hook) to move us. But, as you will discover, the question of logos versus pathos is not an either/or, but rather a both/and proposition. We are persuaded by reason and emotion, often at the very same time.

One of the more astonishing developments in the second half of the 20th century is the development of meaning-making advertising. Whereas older advertisements tended to sell the features of a product, post-war advertising began leaning on the power of meaning-making. For example, you couldn t advertise the flavor of Coca-Cola through the medium of television, but you could pair the soft drink with a scene of unity linking the brand of Coke to a larger meaning.

One way to create meaning is through the power of stories. Professor Young will show you how storytelling, as well as jokes and humor, can disarm you as the reader or listener. When listening to a story or a joke, you might let your guard down and be more susceptible to persuasion without even realizing it.

The ethics of such persuasion are complicated and have become even more important in the digital age.

What Does the Future Look Like?

The first generations of masses were bombarded with persuasion in advertising and politics. Today, our lives are deeply integrated with digital communication and social media. Not only must we recognize the effects of native advertising and social media influencers, but we must also actively guard against the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories.

In the final lectures of this course, Professor Young examines recent political campaigns and the viral spread of conspiracy theories. Some conspiracy theories are outlandish and obviously false, but misinformation is often about feelings rather than facts, making it harder to debunk. What s more, with so many messages out there, many of which are tailored to our preexisting attitudes, it becomes harder and harder to resist the influence of persuasion.

What do we do about this? How should we live as citizens committed to the truth? What does the future of persuasion look like? Propaganda and Persuasion is a powerful antidote to the insidious forces of propaganda and manipulation. With Professor Young s guidance, you will be a savvier consumer of information and a healthier citizen.

TTC - Start Late, Finish Rich
Released 1/2023

You don t have to be rich to live rich. In fact, you can build wealth on as little as five dollars a day and retire a millionaire, provided you re strategic and savvy about your finances. Even better: It s never too late to start.

[/center]
There s hope for those of us out there who would love to transform ourselves into millionaires, even if we don t feel like we have the potential. Whether you re living paycheck to paycheck or have a comfortable income and simply want to live your dream life, there are ways to acquire wealth that don t require you to walk into a bank or brokerage firm. You don t even need a lot of time or even a budget. All you need are a set of core strategies, tips, and insights that can help you achieve financial independence and become richer than you thought you could ever be.

New York Times best-selling author David Bach knows this better than anyone. His celebrated books, The Automatic Millionaire and The Latte Factor: Why You Don t Need to Be Rich to Live Rich, have changed people s lives. Now, in Start Late, Finish Rich, David distills and updates all the learnings from his more than 20 years of financial experience into an engaging, entertaining, and enlightening series that can put you in better control of your finances and back in the driver s seat of your dreams.

Why You re Richer Than You Think

David knows that no matter when you start taking control of your money (and your future), you have hope there s a way to do it. And his goal is to take that hope that s already inside you and give you the structure and techniques proven to build wealth over your lifetime.

In Start Late, Finish Rich, you ll learn how to

Create financial freedom starting with as little as five dollars a day,
Practice automatic millionaire habits that can change everything,
Retire early or transition to a life you dream of living,
Build effective retirement and security accounts,
Dodge dangerous retirement pitfalls and investing mistakes,
Determine the best financial apps and investments out there,
And so much more.
Potent, Powerful Financial Advice

These lessons are packed with potent, powerful advice the same advice Davie has taught to millions of people in seminars, live events, courses, and best-selling books. With Start Late, Finish Rich, you ll get to hear the same insights as audiences at the world s leading financial service firms, Fortune 500 companies, universities, and national conferences.

Pay Yourself First: When it comes to money, a lifestyle-sustainable plan starts with paying yourself first. When you earn a dollar, the first thing you do is take some of it and pay yourself. (And it needs to go directly from your paycheck into your retirement account so you don t pay taxes first.)
Learn Your Latte Factor : Frivolous spending on things like lattes adds up, and can convince us we don t have money for our future. Find out where the money is going in your life and put it to better use. If you don t believe you can find $5 a day, then you re never going to believe you can find $10, or $20, or $50.
Own, Don t Rent: A huge financial mistake is not buying a home. Yes, it s expensive, but it s worth it to scbang and borrow and figure it out. Remember that you re not buying a dream home, you re getting into the game of real estate. And real estate is the escalator to wealth.
Find Your Value: Financial conflict is about spending money in a way that doesn t match up with your value system. The way you fix finances is to determine what your values are, then get them to work together congruently. Do that, and you have an unbreakable force pulling you where you really want to go in life.
Ultimately, Start Late, Finish Rich is as much about values as it is about money; attitude as much as accounting.

I don t believe it s all about the numbers, David says. It s really all about what s most important to you, which is: What s your why ? Why are you doing all of this? What do you care the most about?

And if you don t already know your why, David and his masterful series will help you figure that out.

TTC - How to Talk about Race
Released 9/2023
MP4 | Video: h264, 1280x720 | Audio: AAC, 44.1 KHz, 2 Ch
Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 12 Lessons ( 5h 22m ) | Size: 4.4 GB


[center]
There was a time, not too long ago, when talking openly about race was considered in poor taste. If you had good manners, you just didn t talk about politics, religion, or race not with your family or friends, and certainly not with your coworkers. Even now, many people feel the topic of race is better left alone. What if we say something that s misunderstood? What if we re labeled a racist

[/center]
Professor Anita Foeman understands those worries. In How to Talk about Race, she addresses those specific concerns and others, giving common-sense guidance and step-by-step instructions you can employ to develop a safe and productive dialogue about race. Having spent her professional life researching, teaching, writing, and facilitating conversations about race, Dr. Foeman believes the ability to engage in a productive dialogue is an important start even if we can t solve every problem.

The Real Stories

It s impossible to understand race and culture in the United States without listening to individuals tell their unique stories. After all, while groups of people have shared similar experiences, it isn t until you hear a personal story that you can understand the human impact of race, beneath the gross generalizations.

In this course, you ll meet many fascinating people who have agreed to share their stories. As you get to know them, you might realize that your assumptions about their lives if you had made those assumptions based only on their race would have been far afield from their actual lived experiences. Among the many individuals you ll hear from in this course are

Daniel and Scott. Daniel is a Black man who was adopted from Haiti as an infant by a white American family; Scott is his father. From Daniel, you ll hear what it was like to always know you were different from your family, and the skills he had to develop even at a young age to begin to understand his identify. From Scott, you ll learn about specific decisions the family made to help Daniel and the family unit be able to freely address issues of race.
Meg. Meg is a white woman in a white family who describes her great-aunt as being prejudicial about almost any group of people. After sitting through years of discomfort caused by her relative s comments, you ll hear why and how Meg spoke up. You might be surprised by the simplicity of the question she finally asked her great-aunt, and the changes it caused in both of their lives.
Talon. Talon Silverhorn, a citizen of the Eastern Shawnee tribe of Oklahoma, grew up on a reservation, fully immersed in his culture. But he has relatives who were removed from their homes as children and taken to Indian boarding colleges. He once described his American experience as living under the staircase like Harry Potter, but in his own home.
Avoiding the Pitfalls

Maybe you ve wanted to enter in discussions about race but have never known how to start. If you re a person of color, you might want to talk to your white neighbors about the privilege you see them enjoying due strictly to their race, privilege they are possibly blind to. But should you? If you re white, what s the best way to engage with your white niece s Black fianc and his extended family? Is there anything you can say to them about race that won t make you seem like a racist? Or is it best to just pretend that race doesn t exist?

Dr. Foeman has heard all the above questions and more. In this course, you ll learn why just pretending race doesn t exist is not the best answer. You ll also explore how to begin and continue the dialogues you want to pursue without ruining relationships in the process, getting yourself in trouble before you even know what happened. Dr. Foeman cannot promise complete comfort in these discussions, but she can help you avoid common pitfalls if you

Bring Your Humility. Whenever you re speaking about race to someone outside your own group, you will probably have gaps in understanding; admit it. Acknowledge that you re struggling to find the right words, and that you might stumble or say the wrong thing.
Speak Only for Yourself. No one can speak for an entire racial group, which might include millions of unique individuals. Be clear in conversation that you re speaking only from your own perspective.
Show Up and Keep Showing Up. Yes, you might feel uncomfortable, misunderstood, or even angry. But if you care about the issue of race, don t give up. Remember that you re trying to bridge a challenging divide, not to convert anyone to your point of view. Try to end the conversation by letting the other person know that you hope the two of you can speak again.
Walking the Talk

For many of us, learning how to talk about race in a calm and productive manner is a big step forward. Each positive interaction can bring a greater sense of peace and control into our lives. But what if you want to take an even bigger step forward, making a positive contribution to racial discussions at the community, regional, or even national levels? How can you build on the insights you ve gained from this course?

Dr. Foeman points out many ways to join with others who want to make a positive difference in racial issues in our country. In particular, she highlights

Braver Angels. Braver Angels is a national organization that brings together people across the political spectrum to listen, dialogue, and build alliances. Local groups and leadership are balanced with equal numbers of Republican- and Democratic-leaning individuals. Although the organization is not focused solely on race, race is part of the political discussion. Opportunities exist for action at the local, regional, and national levels with Braver Angels and its connections to other like-minded groups.
The Villanova Model. This four-stage dialogue program is offered as a formal course at Villanova University and informed by the Program on Intergroup Relations at the University of Michigan, but it can be implemented without the course structure. This program which emphasizes the important distinctions between debate, discussion, and dialogue can help you learn to build alliances within, and in addition to, the family.
I Come From ... Foeman shares this activity which is intended to open the door to complex thinking, addressing differences and similarities between individuals. Developed as part of the Villanova Model, it can also be used on its own in any small group where people strive to understand each other with respect to race and/or culture.
Whether you ever join a formal group or not, How to Talk about Race will help you make a difference. You will not only employ the skills you have learned in this course, whenever the topic comes up, but you will also see everything going on around you through this new lens of the possible. In fact, it s safe to say you ll never see things the same way again.

Released 7/2023

Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 10 Lessons (4h 9m) | Size: 3.45 GB

In 1988, the TV series Star Trek introduced audiences to the holodeck. This fictional device used holograms to create fully immersive virtual worlds in which crew members on the starship U.S.S. Enterprise could roam freely and interact with the environment, objects, and characters as if in real life. Many of us have likely found ourselves wishing at some point that we, too, could enter the holodeck and go on these fantastical adventures. Guess what? That day may finally be here.

[/center]
In Imagining Tomorrow's Entertainment, you will meet expert Eric R. Williams, Professor of New Media Storytelling and Emerging Technologies at Ohio University, where he heads up the cinematic virtual reality arm of the Game Research and Immersive Design (GRID) Lab. Eric will take you on a 10-episode tour beyond your wildest dreams and into the future of entertainment. Your mission during this journey will be to find out what is possible and probable in this rapidly approaching future. You will also have fun testing out these new technologies for yourself.

The world of entertainment is constantly changing and evolving. Today, we are no longer leaning back to consume our favorite stories. Instead, we are leaning forward and actively participating in their creation. This is XR, or Extended Reality, which is an umbrella term under which several other entertainment technologies reside, such as

Augmented Reality (AR),
Virtual Reality (VR),
Mixed Reality (MR), and
Augmented Virtuality (AV).
XR also includes everything else in between these five terms. Think holograms, video games, and even 360-degree interactive movies. The landscape is shifting beneath our feet and into our hands, heads, and bodies.

The Storyplex

As you prepare to leap into the future in Imagining Tomorrow's Entertainment, you will meet a handpicked selection of rising leaders in the field who will blow your mind with what is already out there. But to begin a big trip, you first need a roadmap to guide you, and Eric knows just where to get one. This roadmap is called the Storyplex a new paradigm for storytelling where you will step out of the passive reality of classical realism and into an active reality called collaborative realism, where there is an interactive relationship between you and the story. The Storyplex concept, developed by Stephanie Riggs, author of The End of Storytelling, is a dynamic network of technology, narrative, and humanity.

The gateway drug to experiencing the Storyplex is 360-degree video, as this is how we can step outside of the framed content of our flat screens into a spherical space where the story appears to be happening all around us. You will get a taste of it here in this series.

Video Games and Esports

When discussing interactive entertainment, one of the biggest sectors to consider is video games. The video game industry is a 190-billion-dollar juggernaut, out-stripping both film and music in terms of revenue. Unlike the passive experience of television and film, games can offer agency and immersion and VR can engage a player's entire body, making video games a more active experience.

Today, video games have become more than home entertainment. The rise of electronic sports, known as esports, is a direct result of competitive online gaming and can now be seen as the evolution of traditional sports. This industry is rapidly growing and has become a global phenomenon. If you haven't heard of it, these numbers may convince you: Currently, 15 million active users watch 3 billion minutes of content each month.

It didn't start this way, but these professionals that are now esports athletes can now make the big bucks competing on the world stage not unlike their traditional athlete counterparts in the NFL or the NBA. The only difference? This world stage is now digital, built upon a technological infrastructure to create the experience and an IT network critical for broadcasting, Twitch streaming, chats, Discord, and Twitter. Within the last decade, this industry has grown to where there are now whole professional careers built around it including broadcasters, team managers, psychologists, trainers, and beyond.

In this new world, games are not limited to our living rooms. The playground is now global, and players can engage in real-time with anyone on the planet. This progression also has vast implications for human psychology and connection. Now, you can be together worldwide with friends, family, and even celebrities as if they re beside you.

Enhancing Our Stories

Do you remember the Choose Your Own Adventure game book series from the '80s and '90s? What made those books so popular was that they gave their readers agency the ability to control their fictional destinies. So interactive storytelling is not new, but it is changing as we move from interactive books and role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons to the immersive technologies of the 21st century. The younger generation does not want to be told stories; they want to be part of stories. When you have agency over your entertainment, your scope and engagement in the story can be expanded.

One of the tools growing in popularity as we head in this direction is Cinematic Virtual Reality (Cine VR), which uses 360-degree cameras and full-sphere surround sound (ambisonic) microphones to capture sight and sound in a way that enhances your perception of reality both visually and aurally. Cine VR techniques are not only key in the entertainment industry; they can also serve as training tools for any number of specialized sectors, like training pilots and drivers.

When we blend the physical and digital, we get Augmented Reality (AR), which creates a bridge between worlds by using

Location,
Objects,
Proximity, and
Motion Recognition.
Of all the technology we will explore in Imagining Tomorrow's Entertainment, AR has the greatest potential to immerse the audience in the story. It also has the greatest hurdles, however, as it is currently accessed with flat-screen devices, such as a phone. But it's only a matter of time before that could change, and there could be special glasses or other tools to experience AR. The key to AR's growth is the accessible and silly fun of games like Pokemon Go, which had an explosion in popularity after its release and is enjoyed by an unexpectedly wide demographic of players.

With the help of the Storyplex roadmap and Eric as your guide, you will take flight into Imagining Tomorrow's Entertainment. At the end of the journey, you will not only gain knowledge about the many kinds of exciting new technology already happening and developing currently, but you will also feel inspired to challenge yourself as a viewer, creator, and connoisseur. Now, you, too, can have the opportunity to help draw new road maps and reimagine the entertainment of tomorrow.

What Will You Learn?
Investigate new technologies using collaborative realism and virtual reality in storytelling, entertainment, and sports

Look at the evolution of video games and toys for kids

Meet rising leaders in the field of interactive digital entertainment

TTC - Storytelling and the Human Condition
Released 2/2023

Genre: eLearning | Language: English | Duration: 12 Lessons (6h 21m) | Size: 5.33 GB


[center]
Storytelling is the language of the subconscious mind. It can help us understand truths that facts and maxims alone cannot communicate

[/center]
The stories we tell ourselves are central to how we engage with the world around us. Stories help us make sense of the world, tell us who we are and why we re here, and define our purpose for existence. Stories empower us to learn from the experiences, successes, and failures of others, and can guide us as we make difficult choices in our own lives. They can entertain us; instruct us; and, above all, connect us to the world, to people in other times and places, to each other, and to our innermost selves. Stories remind us of the remarkable constancy in human nature and the human experience, while simultaneously helping us to learn and grow.

We are perpetually interested in questions related to the human condition: What does it mean to be human? Why are we here? What is the best way to live? These stories comprise The Great Conversation the iterative dialogue between thoughtful people across time and place about questions of origin, purpose, and destiny. Studying stories from The Great Conversation across media, across history, and across culture allows us insight into how people have answered these questions for themselves. Doing so helps us become better able to understand who we are and how we can live life richly and, well, in the here and now.

To examine the connection between the storytelling impulse and our implicit desire to understand our lives and our place in the world, you will go on a globe-spanning, time-travelling, media-traversing tour in the 12 lectures of Storytelling and the Human Condition. Your guide is award-winning journalist, author, and storyteller Alexandra Hudson, founder of Civic Renaissance, a community of lifelong learners, which she invites you to join at Civic-Renaissance.com. In this course, she will illuminate the many ways stories shape our lives throughout history and across cultures.

In the Beginning

We re storytelling and story-listening creatures from day one. According to narrative paradigm theory, conceptualized by communication scholar Walter Fisher, all meaningful human communication occurs through storytelling. This theory argues that, whether we realize it or not, each of us are storytellers, or listeners of stories, at different times in our lives.

This isn t just true for our own moment but for people in all times and places. Every civilization and culture have stories they use to explore the big questions of the human condition, beginning from their earliest, pre-literate days. From the art on the walls of caves to oral storytelling traditions to the (much later) impact of writing and literacy, stories are always central to living lives of meaning in our world. As you examine ancient and influential stories like the Enuma Elish of Babylon, the creation story of Genesis, or the histories of Hesiod, you will gain a better understanding of how these earliest of stories share many of the same questions people have pondered across the history of our species.

The stories that Alexandra presents explore the breadth of the human experience: beginning with origin stories and progressing through themes such as suffering, humor, love and sex, pride, death, freedom, and much more. In each lecture, she crosscuts culture, era, and medium to show how stories from different disciplines, people, and places are in conversation with each other across generations and continents. All great art tells a story, as Alexandra shows. Whether you are examining ancient creation stories, analyzing the plays of Shakespeare, diving into modern poetry, or considering the lyrics of a song from the 20th century, you are invited to see how the drive to understand our world and ourselves in story is universal.

The Plot Thickens

The human condition, said 17th-century French polymath Blaise Pascal, is defined by the greatness and wretchedness of man. As there is duality to our nature as human beings, there is duality to our stories. Great stories lay bare a culture s values and expose truth where we might otherwise not wish to see it, stories to be used for good or for ill. You will learn in this course that as we explore the duality of stories and our human nature, we can see the way that we can use stories to nurture what is best in each of us and diminish what is bad all for the purpose of leading richer, more joyful, and more meaningful lives. Storytelling and the Human Condition explores questions, such as

How do some stories perpetuate division by creating us vs. them divides?
Why do we find it necessary to manufacture stories that exonerate us, and help us avoid personal guilt and accountability?
Who (or what) do we blame for human suffering? Why do we feel the need to blame someone at all?
Does it matter if the stories that are most important to us are true, if they help us live our lives with greater meaning? What is the relationship between history and myth, and how can both reveal higher moral truths?
What, if any, is the role of humor and laughter in the face of division, tragedy, and suffering?
Why do we sometimes delight in stories of other people s humiliation or comeuppance?
Why do we so often misplace our meaning in transient things such as lust, love, power, and possessions and what can we learn from some of history s greatest stories and storytellers about lasting personal fulfillment in life?
You ll discover that when it comes to the stories that we tell ourselves, there are few hard and fast rules about the recipe for a life well-lived. But there seem to be certain guidelines to good living that people have arrived at, independently of one another, across history, and that we might benefit from rediscovering, today. As we know, the best courses are conversations that don t offer pat, monolithic answers. The human condition is too complex for that. But we ll find that throughout this course, our thinking is refined, and our discussions lead us to more nuanced questions.

We re All Stories, In the End

Throughout Storytelling and the Human Condition, you will better appreciate the pervasive power of stories. You will explore stories from across history and culture and see that stories are told not only in written form, but also in painting, music, literature, oral poetry, film, and so on. As noted, all good art tells a story of the human condition, communicating timeless truths about our shared fate and hope as part of the human community.

What lessons do we take away from the poetry of the first published African American author Phyllis Wheatley, the stories of Russian novelist Dostoevsky, or a classic film like Dr. Strangelove? What are the merits to the stories we re surrounded by today, such as popular sitcoms like NBC s The Good Place or the HBO satirical drama Succession ? Does art always need to set out to explore deep questions in order to teach us lessons? As Alexandra highlights throughout the lectures, not necessarily but it usually does, anyway. Humans create based on our experience of the world, which makes our art a perpetual reflection of our experiences, passions, and pursuits our greatest hopes and achievements, as well as our darkest thoughts and impulses.

Whether it is a story of thwarted love, a character-building morality tale, an epic adventure, or something as simple as a nursery rhyme, the stories we create and share are a collection of the experiences and desires that make us human. Storytelling is the language of the subconscious mind. It can help us understand truths that facts and maxims alone cannot communicate. As you will discover, the exercise of storytelling, of mining our lives and experiences for stories and insights into the human experience, is the practice of the examined life and the life well-lived.

What Will You Learn?
Explore origin stories; questions of suffering, meaning, and death; and the breadth of the human experience love, pride, guilt, freedom, and more

Examine how stories have helped to form the character of children, adults, and even entire cultures

Study the stories of Phillis Wheatley and Hannah Arendt and discover how they used storytelling to transform their struggles into strength and created stories of beauty and grace from their trauma

Join historian, biblical scholar, and best-selling author Jean-Pierre Isbouts to walk in the footsteps of Jesus

[/center]
As the largest religion in the world, Christianity is comprised of thousands of denominations reflecting 2,000 years of ideas. While many branches of the faith vary wildly, they all spring from the same source: a rabbi from Galilee in the far provinces of the Roman Empire. To better understand Christianity today and, thus, our world you will journey back to the source and reflect on the man at the center of the Christian faith, the historical Jesus of Nazareth.

Christians all have their own unique understanding of Jesus

The Son of God, who shares in his father s identity;
The Messiah, who came to usher in the kingdom of God;
The preacher, who spoke out against the oppressive powers of his day;
And Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world today.
Who was this man? Where did he come from? And how would he have viewed his own ministry? As an investigation of these questions, Searching for the Historical Jesus takes you back two millennia to explore the history, context, and character of a humble rabbi who changed the world. Presented by Dr. Jean-Pierre Isbouts, a professor emeritus at Fielding Graduate University, and filmed on-location in Israel and Jordan in the Holy Land, these 15 thought-provoking episodes bring Jesus and his world to life through the lens of a historian of faith.

Not only can this history give us a better sense of our world today, but it can also deepen our own faith, whether Christian or not, as we reflect on

The way Roman political structures created hunger and homelessness in the exploited province of Galilee;
The colleges of Jewish thought and their interaction with Greco-Roman philosophy;
Jesus s Sermon on the Mount, miracles, prayers, and other works of ministry; and
The transformation of Jesus s teachings into a church that spread around the world.
From the nativity in Bethlehem to Jesus s entry into Jerusalem, and to his trial and crucifixion, Jean-Pierre reveals what we know from historical and archaeological evidence, including the Gospels, the writings of Josephus, and 21st-century excavations. He also delves into the mysteries of the faith, connects the Gospels to the Hebrew Bible prophets, and considers how Paul and other church fathers transformed the local message of Jesus into a world religion. You will travel in the footsteps of the historical Jesus, examining the story of the man and the faith he inspired, in the heart of the land where he lived and taught.

Full of vivid detail and psychological insight and illustrated with wonderful cinematography and 3-D animation, Searching for the Historical Jesus offers an excellent companion piece for anyone wrestling with history or with walking in faith.

Get to Know the Biblical World

After surveying the historical sources and archaeological evidence at our disposal, the first stop in your journey is an exploration of biblical Israel. At the turn of the Common Era, Judea was a province of the early Roman Empire and was under the control of the vassal king Herod the Great.

As you will learn, Jesus s home of Galilee was an agricultural region in the north. Herod and his successors exploited the region for tax revenue to fund public works projects. Most Galileans likely were subsistence farmers, living on the knife s edge of survival, so the king s tax program led to the hunger and homelessness we see throughout the Gospels.

Jesus s father, Joseph, was most likely a tradesman working on some of these public projects. Jean-Pierre shows you the textures of life in this era the long days at work, the multi-family dwelling units, and the rebellious political fervor that would have been brewing thanks to Herod s quasi-security officer state.

You will also reflect on what it would have been like for a young Mary to become pregnant out of wedlock. What would Joseph and their families have thought? Where did the story of the Virgin Birth come from? Where is the line between historical knowledge and religious belief?

Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus

Looking beyond the miracles and mysteries, the story of Jesus the man is fascinating and enlightening and raises many questions for historians. For example, the prophet Micah wrote that the Savior would come from Bethlehem, and sure enough, the Gospels recount Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem when Jesus was born. But why were they there? Why did they travel so far from Galilee?

Evidence ranging from historical records to the Jewish Mishnah offers clues to the time, but we can only speculate today about human motivations 2,000 years ago. We know Jesus would possibly have been taught scripture by the Pharisees, but what was his relationship with Jewish leaders? Further, what was his relationship with his family like? Was he speaking from experience when he counsels his disciples that they may need to leave their families?

Over these 15 rich episodes, Jean-Pierre offers historical details that may help us understand the motive behind the message. We travel with Jesus from Galilee to Perea as he is baptized by John the Baptist, and then he prepares for his own ministry. We follow him into Jerusalem and speculate what he might have felt upon seeing the sacrifices and money changers in the Temple the den of thieves. And we walk with him through the Garden of Gethsemane before his final moments in this life on the cross.

The Son of Man or the Son of God?

Walking in the footsteps of Jesus, we see a man grappling with the challenges of a particular time and place. We see the Zealots reacting against the powers of Rome, and we witness Jesus modulating the political message of John the Baptist into a social message of love.

Although he called himself the Son of Man, Christians view Jesus as the Son of God. We cannot understand the historical Jesus without delving into the theology of how one man s ministry became a movement in large part thanks to the apostle Paul, who carried Jesus s message throughout the Roman Empire.

From the high priests of Judaism to Gnostic Christians to the Catholic Church, Jean-Pierre examines the mystery of Jesus after the brutality of his crucifixion. With generous quotes from scripture, 3-D animation, and beautiful cinematography of historical sites, Searching for the Historical Jesus brings to life a man whose message shaped the world.

What Will You Learn?
Discover the historical context of Judea during the Roman Empire

Explore the world of Galilee and the people who lived during the time of Jesus

Trace the development of Jesus s ministry from the Sermon on the Mount to his trial and crucifixion

Consider Jesus s religious views when placed against the backdrop of history

Imagine you could visit a Museum of Lost Art. If this imaginary museum contained just the artwork we knew was lost whether from theft, purposeful destruction, vandalism, war, or the forces of nature it would still contain more masterpieces than those in all of the world s current museums combined. Among its many treasures, it would hold

The lost scrolls of the Library of Alexandria;
The looted antiquities of the Iraq Museum;
Religious art smashed during the Reformation;
Countless treasures stolen by the Nazis; and
The single largest art heist of modern times.
In Lost Art: The Stories of Missing Masterpieces, art historian and art crime expert Noah Charney guides you through just such an imaginary museum. In 12 fascinating lectures accompanied by stunning images, you will hear the stories behind the theft and/or destruction of some of the world s most famous pieces of art. From the earthquake that felled the Colossus of Rhodes in 226 BCE to the Taliban s iconoclastic destruction of the 500-year-old Buddha Statues at Bamiyan in the 21st century, no one knows how many great works of art have been destroyed or lost throughout history. Only very few have ever resurfaced.

We can only imagine how the artists of those works might feel. To have struggled, sometimes for years or even decades, to produce a work with painstaking clarity having used a paintbrush with only one bristle, in at least one case only to have it lost or destroyed. Or consider Pythius and Satyros, the Greeks who built the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, only to have it ruined by earthquakes. And what about the architects of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon or did they ever really exist? You ll be fascinated and surprised by these many stories of lost art.

What We Don t Know

In Lost Art: The Stories of Missing Masterpieces, you ll hear some familiar names, such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Goya, and you might recognize many of their works. Although we don t know how many of their works have been lost or stolen, many have been documented as such. Overall, we have no way of knowing about the thousands and thousands of pieces of art that were destroyed or stolen without any record of their existence to pass on.

And then there was Michelangelo, who purposefully destroyed many of his own drawings. In his time and place, there was great cultural significance placed on sprezzatura the concept that what you do should come to you easily which, in his case, included creating some of the most significant art the world had ever seen. Consequently, he burned up scores of his work-in-progress drawings into the fire, leaving behind only what he considered to be perfection.

As you will see, the destruction and loss of art can be the result of many factors, both intentional and simply inevitable. Noah will take you through discussions about dozens of artworks and historical sites whose whereabouts are completely unknown at this time, including

Paintings from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The biggest art heist in modern history occurred in Boston on March 18, 1990, when 13 paintings were stolen from the Gardner Museum. The FBI values the works by Vermeer and Manet, among others, at $500 million. Some believe the mafia was involved. The museum is still asking the public for leads.
Nativity by Caravaggio. One of the most notorious and long-running unsolved thefts of 1969, this Caravaggio painting was stolen from the Oratory of Saint Lawrence in Palermo, Sicily, and it has continued to be on the FBI s Top Ten Most Wanted Art list since. Current thinking is that the Sicilian mafia was behind the theft and still has possession of it.
Hanging Gardens of Babylon. These ancient gardens are considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World, although their actual location has remained elusive through the 21st century. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were noted for the beauty of their plants, their architecture, and their engineering; however, no one can find them, not even a reliable trace. Were they simply a legend?

What We Do Know

The US Department of Justice has ranked art crime as the third-highest grossing criminal trade, behind only the drugs and arms trades. And in Italy alone, more than 20,000 pieces of art are annually reported as stolen. In this course, Noah will highlight some of the very few works that have been recovered, including

Goya s Duke of Wellington was stolen from the National Gallery in London by Kempton Bunton, an older man who was furious that British pensioners were forced to pay for a license to watch television a fee many could not afford. In a Robin Hood-style effort, he sent a series of ransom notes to raise the money to buy the licenses himself. Bunton eventually returned the painting anonymously and turned himself in.
Leonardo da Vinci s Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre in 1911 by an Italian handyman and two compatriots who believed the painting should reside in Italy, not France. Two years after the theft, the handyman tried to sell the work to a Florentine art dealer who promised to keep the painting safe in Italy. Instead, he called the security officer. It was only after the painting s theft and return that the Mona Lisa became the globally famous piece it is today.
Edvard Munch s The Scream was stolen in 1994 from Norway s National Gallery in Oslo, while everyone s attention was on the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics 125 miles away in Lillehammer. The thief was eventually caught, and the painting returned.
Acts of Nature

Due to the fragile nature of many art pieces, time and the environment are its natural enemies. Even artworks made of stone and metal cannot withstand the elements, indefinitely. You ll consider works that have been affected by the progress of time and the vicissitudes of nature, such as

The Artwork at Pompeii. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 CE, almost 2,000 people were killed. The eruption also smothered uncounted paintings, frescoes, mosaics, and other artworks. Ironically, much of the artwork that archaeologists have revealed at Pompeii in recent years would have been lost during the intervening centuries if they had not been preserved under the ash.
The Colossus of Rhodes. Three of the ancient wonders of the world were destroyed by earthquakes, including the colossal bronze statue standing at the harbor on the island of Rhodes. It stood for only 54 years before a violent earthquake broke it at the knees. The statue toppled over and crashed backward to the ground.
Florentine Artwork. In November 1966, flooding caused the banks of the Arno River to burst. More than 100 people died, and, by some estimates, millions of cultural objects were lost. These included more than 1,500 significant artworks by Uccello, Bonaiuto, Donatello, Ghiberti, and dozens more.
While no one knows how many pieces of art large and small would be in an imaginary Museum of Lost Art, consideration of that museum has helped us recognize and better appreciate the artwork that is in existence today. None of it is permanent; all of it is fragile, and even the most robust pieces have a temporal quality. That very nature helps you appreciate what needs to be appreciated today.

TTC - Experiencing Shakespeare: From Page to Stage

Four hundred years after his death, William Shakespeare's plays continue to live on vibrantly and remain among the most staged, even in modern theater. But just what is it about his work that has made him a household name? While little is known about the man's life, thankfully, we have a written guide his words to help us decode how his plays were meant to be interpreted and performed.

[/center]
If you've ever been curious about everything that goes into a modern theatrical production of a Shakespeare play, here is your chance to peek behind the curtains in Experiencing Shakespeare: From Page to Stage. Professor Alissa Branch, award-winning actor, director, and creator of an advanced Shakespeare performance curriculum presents 12 riveting lessons that reveal how today's actors go about exploring, rehearsing, and performing Shakespeare s plays. She is accompanied by Brooke and Kam, two professional stage actors who will help you see the bard s work from the perspective of the players.

The Pact between Performers and Audience

Experiencing a play in performance involves a willing suspension of disbelief. When you go to the theater as an audience member, you make an unspoken pact with the actors telling the story, agreeing to involve yourself in the imaginary circumstances of the play. Likewise, the actors agree to do their best at every performance to present the story in a way that makes it feel spontaneous and exciting, as if it were unfolding for the very first time right in front of the audience.

For this magic to happen, there is a tremendous amount of work that must happen beforehand, and the performers must make many decisions. In Elizabethan theaters, there was a back wall to the stage, but not much scenery was built or changed from scene to scene or performance to performance; the audience was expected to imagine what they could not see by listening to the words that described the action.

This means that acting Shakespeare requires the actor to paint the scenery with their words, to use their body and voice to express and create an entire onstage world for the audience. Fortunately, Shakespeare gives the actors many clues in his texts about how to do that.

Just Who Was This Legend?

To understand his plays, it is helpful to know about the man behind the words and the theater culture in which he lived. But if you're a Shakespeare enthusiast, you might already know there is debate about who Shakespeare was. Some 19th- and 20th-century scholars claim that the name "William Shakespeare" was just a front for some other author who for their own reasons of royal rank or possibly even gender did not want their identity to be publicly known.

But here are some facts we can firmly establish about Shakespeare

He was a playwright from Stratford-upon-Avon who lived from April 1564 to April 1616.
He was the son of a successful glove-maker, which makes it almost certain that he attended the town's grammar college.
He was married with three children and eventually left his family to pursue theater in London.
He worked as an actor; a successful playwright; and, eventually, a partner in a popular acting company.
He retired in Stratford and seemed to have died there at 52.
It is useful to know that he attended English grammar college because these colleges prized classical literature and history, taught pupils Greek and Latin, and required a lot of oral recitation of knowledge from every student. This makes it clear that Shakespeare received an education rigorous enough by any modern standards to have learned the skills necessary to become a playwright.

And there s also the genius of Shakespeare s language. He utilized 17,677 words across his body of work, inventing new ones, and innovating how they were used. In fact, scientists assert that his work alters the way our brains respond to language!

Exploring the Toolbox

Throughout these lessons, Professor Branch guides you on an exploration of specific tools that modern actors use in rehearsal to unlock Shakespeare's verse and bring his plays to life onstage. The language he wrote for his characters can be intimidating, and today's actors are responsible for figuring out how to honor its complexity.

One of the essential tools available to help us decode this is Shakespeare's use of iambic pentameter or blank verse which means one line is made up of 10 "beats" positioned in a roughly "unstressed/stressed" pattern. This heartbeat-like rhythm naturally falls into the tendencies of the English spoken language and helps to support the acting by giving clues with the emphasis of critical words and moments. Some of the other important tools include

Letting the Verse Lead: Unlike modern plays with submerged objectives, Shakespeare's characters often say exactly what they want; so, analyzing their language is the key to actors' understanding of physical movement.
Rhetoric: Shakespeare s characters use persuasive verbal techniques like witty banter, emotional augments, and logical reasoning in both verse and prose to accomplish their goals.
Soliloquy: Shakespeare often uses a monologue spoken by a character, not to be overheard by other characters in a play. Shakespeare breaks the "fourth wall" and gives his audience unique access to his main characters when they turn and address the audience directly.
Verse versus Prose: A closer examination of the shifts that Shakespeare makes between writing in poetry and prose provides instruction on the characters' feelings and behavior toward each other.
From the First Rehearsal to Opening Day

Once you have considered how actors and directors dive into the texts, Professor Branch gives you an intimate, behind-the-scenes peek at the rehearsal process and the designing and directing of the plays. From decisions made during practice to the myriad of jobs needed to support the actors producers, props persons, costume designers, stage managers, and more there are a staggering number of responsibilities.

Every production team must ask themselves three crucial questions when preparing to bring a play to the stage

Who will watch this performance?
What experiences, perspectives, and biases might this audience bring that is different from the perspectives an Elizabethan audience might have?
Why are we performing this particular play for this particular group of people?
Now, with Experiencing Shakespeare: From Page to Stage, you can take a deeper look at these questions. You will look back into the playwright s background, the theater culture of the Elizabethan era, and the acting toolbox Shakespeare embedded in his plays all of which will come together to bring you a richer appreciation of the genius behind the words and how they are performed today.

What Will You Learn?
Find out why, more than 400 years after Shakespeare s death, his plays persist in being among the most staged

Learn about theater culture in the Elizabethan era to get a deeper, humanized understanding of Shakespeare s texts for performance purposes

Discover the brilliant tricks that Shakespeare used to give clues and hints to actors, including his use of iambic pentameter and other tools like antithesis within the words themselves

Take a look at the rehearsal process, beginning with an initial read-through, called "table work"; then blocking movement; and, finally, scene repetition

Examine the many behind-the-scenes jobs required for a production of this level, from set builders and prop managers to producers and choreographers, with special attention to the costume designer and stage manager

TTC - Creation Stories of the Ancient World
Released 1/2023

Thus it is said of Ptah: He who made all who gave birth to the gods, and from whom everything came forth the Egyptian Memphite Theology

Creation stories, found within many ancient cultures, are narrative accounts of the ultimate origins of the universe, the earth, and humanity. Often embodied as epic poetry, and told through the acts of divine beings, creation stories illuminate the values, beliefs, and creeds of the earliest civilizations.

Within the scope of the ancient world, the cultures of the Mediterranean produced a stunning wealth of literary accounts of creation. Here, we find compelling creation stories in texts from cultures such as ancient Mesopotamia, often called the birthplace of civilization, and the majestic empire of ancient Egypt, as well as lesser-known cultures such as Ugarit and the Hittite civilization, and the more familiar Greek and Israelite worlds. Within this tradition, you will look at

The Sumerian Debate Between Bird and Fish, which refers to four deities who set up the divine rules of heaven and earth, laid out the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, and populated the marshes with fish and birds, instructing them with regard to divine rules.
The Baal Cycle of ancient Ugarit, which develops a theme that recurs in other cultures of the Mediterranean: that of a storm-god who battles other gods in a struggle for universal supremacy, and who ultimately rules over and sustains the earth and the cycles of nature.
How the creation stories of the ancient Mediterranean cultures offer distinct conceptions both of how human beings came to exist, through divine acts, as well as why, with accounts explaining human existence in terms ranging from labor for the gods to an exalted role as the pinnacle of creation itself.
In 12 dynamic and thought-provoking lectures, Creation Stories of the Ancient World offers you a penetrating look at the origin stories of the great civilizations of the Mediterranean. With the inspired guidance of Professor Joseph Lam of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, you ll delve into the creation accounts of civilizations ranging from Mesopotamia (Babylon) across the breadth of the ancient Near East to Greece in the West, and encompassing traditions from Egypt, Syria, Anatolia, and ancient Israel.

Discover Seminal Conceptions of Universal and Human Origins

Studied together, the creation texts produced in the Mediterranean shed fascinating light on the cultures they represent, and, more broadly, on the larger unfolding of human societies, offering vivid views into ancient conceptions of space, time, causality, and the forces governing the natural and human worlds.

For each culture, you ll follow Professor Lam through excerpts from iconic texts, uncovering key themes and conceptions regarding universal origins, set against the historical and political backgrounds that produced these written accounts. You ll also learn how the texts were understood within their cultures, and the ways in which shared thematic material between traditions indicates a high likelihood of cultural contact across the Mediterranean as these cosmologies developed.

And Professor Lam will demonstrate how creation stories served a number of interrelated purposes, from theological understanding and conceptualizing the forces of nature to the affirmation of social and political realities. These insightful lectures unpack the rich creation traditions of a pivotal region of the ancient world.

Explore the Power, Majesty, and Meanings of Ancient Creation Texts

Within the course s richly detailed inquiry, you ll explore origin stories in traditions such as

Creation Accounts of Ancient Mesopotamia Take the measure of the Babylonian Creation Epic, Enuma Elish, which portrays the genesis of the world and humanity through a nucleus of deities, placing the city of Babylon at the center of the universe. Also study the Atrahasis Epic, with a contrasting depiction of humanity s creation, set within the narrative tradition of the Flood;
The Egyptian Creation Traditions Encounter the pantheon of Egyptian gods related to creation, encompassing groups of deities and also the gods Amun, Ptah, and Khnum. Study Egyptian images of creation, from those depicting the spontaneous emergence of life from a primordial chaos to those of deities spitting or speaking other deities into existence;
The Hurro-Hittite Kumarbi Cycle In two passages from this important text named for the Hurrian deity Kumarbi, witness how universal cosmic order is established through the struggle of two entangled lineages of deities who compete for supremacy. Also study the text s account of how the world was created, with the heavens and earth cut apart from a single whole;
The Theogony of Hesiod Delve into this great work of Greek epic poetry, portraying the begetting of the gods and the development of the cosmos through generations of divine conflict. Follow the story of succession from the battle between the gods Ouranos and Kronos, where an act of castration establishes the order of the world, to ultimate cosmic stability under Zeus; and
The Judeo-Christian Genesis Chart the contours of the seven days of creation in the biblical Genesis 1, depicting human beings as the embodiment of divine presence in the world. Grasp the contrast between this account and the portrayal of creation in the Garden of Eden story (Genesis 2), which highlights humans as tillers of the soil, reflecting the daily realities of ancient Israelites.
Demonstrating a phenomenal knowledge of these traditions, and incisive interpretive skills, Professor Lam leads you in a richly layered investigation of the texts, the thematic interconnections between them, and their core societal functions. His commentary makes clear how the stories served as validation of the political orders that produced them, as reflections of the vital role of agriculture in these cultures, and as explorations of the boundaries between the human and divine worlds.

In the creation texts of the ancient Mediterranean region, we can witness how ancient peoples conceived of the creators of their world, and the natural order of that world. As such, creation stories show us how early cultures made sense of the human condition, in theological, philosophical, and political terms. This ancient perspective influenced the later cultures that would follow, meaning the stories ancient peoples used to understand their world have been woven into the larger tapestry of world history and culture, touching our lives our art, literature, religion, philosophy, and more even today.

What Will You Learn?
Explore some of the best-known and most-celebrated examples of the creation story genre, including the Babylonian creation epic of Enuma elish

Look at some examples of the genre that might be less familiar, such as the Ugaritic Baal Cycle

Investigate certain patterns or themes that recur throughout these stories and see that some of them are specific enough that the connection does not seem to be accidental

Ponder questions about the stories social and political significance within their historical contexts

Take a psychoanalytical approach with some of the stories to help uncover the depths of meaning within a story

You are a member of the only species that has survived in the genus Homo since its 2.5-million-year evolutionary journey began. Homo habilis, H. erectus, H. neanderthalensis plus many other species we know of and perhaps dozens yet to be discovered have all come and gone. Homo sapiens alone has endured.

[/center]
Who were these long-ago ancestors of ours? Where and how did they live and die? And how are we even able to learn about these humans, some of whom became extinct millions of years ago? These are only a few of the myriad fascinating questions explored in Early Humans: Ice, Stone, and Survival. In 20 captivating lectures, Professor Suzanne Pilaar Birch shares her expertise and passion for discovery as she peels back the millennia to expose the emergence and lives of early humans. You will learn about their environmental challenges, the methods they used to meet their basic needs, their cultural development, and the fascinating advances in our own technologies that have allowed us to take their few physical remains and develop a much fuller picture of who they were and, thus, who we are, today.

Although we might imagine a timeline of the past 2.5 million years as a straight path from the emergence of the genus Homo to modern H. sapiens in the 21st century, the truth of our family tree is much more convoluted and fascinating than that. As Dr. Birch explains, there have been times when specific aspects of human culture developed simultaneously in disparate regions on the planet, and times when several Homo species existed on the planet at the same time. This makes the journey more complex, but also infinitely more interesting.

Tools of the Trade

Who were our direct ancestors? How far back can we trace our lineage? Moreover, how can we answer such important and complex questions at such a distant vantage point? We attempt to answer them with both the most basic and the most modern of techniques: trowels and brushes in the field and cutting-edge technologies in the lab.

One of the first advanced technologies that allowed archaeologists to get a scientific view into the past was radiocarbon dating. Developed in the mid-20th century, this technique estimates the age of organic material by using the known radioactive decay rate of carbon-14. Radiocarbon dating ushered in a new age for archaeological research, allowing scientists to approximate ages back as far as 50,000 years.

But as powerful as radiocarbon dating is, we now have many more tools to see more accurately and ever farther back in our own history. These include

Optically Stimulated Luminescence. This method of dating operates on the principle that granules of quartz commonly found in rock and sand absorb electrons when exposed to sunlight. In the lab, the sample s trapped electrons are released and measured, and a date for archaeological site formation can be calculated as far back as 100,000 years ago.
Thermoluminescence. This is another trapped-electron method, revealing when a sample was last heated above a certain temperature. It is extremely helpful in dating ceramic artifacts.
DNA analysis. Perhaps the most powerful tool is the ability to analyze ancient DNA. Using genomics, scientists have discovered how ancient humans moved around the globe and if they interbred with other groups. They have also been able to estimate the astonishingly small number of ancient humans who survived the mega-colossal Toba volcanic super-eruption only about 10,000 people.
These, and other technologies, have allowed us unprecedented access to the secrets of our past. As new techniques are introduced, the potential to solve even more of the mysteries of humanity s earliest days increases.

Sharing Our Genus

We used to think we were the first animals to use tools, to organize ourselves into social groups, and to use language for communication. We now know that many other animals can claim those characteristics. What separates us from other hominids is our brain, which has grown relatively larger over time.

The current wisdom is that Homo habilis known as the handy man is the earliest member of our genus. This species brain size, measured as a percent of its body weight, represented an increase of about 50% over the genus Australopithecines. In Early Humans: Ice, Stone, and Survival, Dr. Birch will introduce you to many more extinct species of our genus, including

H. erectus stood notably taller than H. habilis and walked upright. H. erectus is one of the longest-lasting hominin species, persisting for more than 1.5 million years, overlapping with what we now know are multiple human species that developed during this same period, and potentially giving rise to several of them.
H. floresiensis is one of the most recently discovered species in our genus. So far, it has only been found on the island of Flores, Indonesia. Despite their small body and brain size, H. floresiensis made and used stone tools.
H. naledi was discovered recently in South Africa. Scientists believe H. naledi lived between 236,000 and 335,000 years ago and seemed to have the cultural practice of burying their dead.
The Family Album

If you were creating a family photo album of our shared Homo cousins, you certainly wouldn t have many concrete visual materials in your book. While scientists have gleaned as much information as possible from every artifact and bone that has been found, relatively few remains have been uncovered, compared to the number of humans who lived. But some discoveries have been so exciting, that these individuals have been named, not just numbered.

One of the first famous specimens was Lucy, discovered in 1974. A human ancestor, Australopithecus afarensis, Lucy was able to climb trees and stand upright. You ll meet many other famous specimens in this course, including

Turkana Boy who was discovered in Kenya. This H. erectus specimen is a male who lived about 1.6 million years ago and would have been between seven to 11 years of age at the time of death. More than 100 bones of his skeleton were found. Turkana Boy had modern limb proportions and would not have been able to live in trees.
Omo I and Omo II who were discovered in Ethiopia. Estimated to have lived about 195,000 years ago, these two fossils are the oldest commonly accepted examples of Homo sapiens.
Mungo Lady who was discovered in New South Wales, Australia. An H. sapiens, Mungo Lady s burial, approximately 42,000 years ago, represents the oldest known cremation in the world. It s thought that the body was burned, the skeletal remains crushed and then burned again, and then covered with ochre, transported from several hundred kilometers away.
The Iceman who was discovered at the end of the 20th century in the Italian Alps near the border between Italy and Austria. An H. sapiens, The Iceman died about 5,300 years ago and his naturally mummified remains are the earliest known, direct example of a tattooed individual.
Today, we now can apply sophisticated science and powerful analytical methods to these specimens, and many others, in order to answer our questions about the trajectory of human history. But, as you will discover, we shouldn t lose sight of what it means to be able to ask those questions in the first place. After all, isn t it our awareness of the existence of those who came before us one of the things that truly makes us human?

We all use signs and gestures in our daily communication, whether its nodding or shaking our head, waving to get someone s attention, or other hand gestures and body language we employ to emphasize what we say. But for about 500,000 Americans, signs, gestures, facial expressions, and body movements are their primary form of communication. In American Sign Language for Everyone, Professor Julia Silvestri a native user of American Sign Language (ASL) and member of the Deaf community will show you how to use this unique language to meet people, share information about the world around you, express your opinion, and enjoy ASL literary forms.

In 24 engaging lessons, Dr. Silvestri will teach you the manual alphabet the handshapes for all 26 letters used for fingerspelling proper names or English words you cannot yet sign and dozens of other signs to enable you to converse using ASL and expand your ability to effectively communicate with those around you. During the lessons, you ll have many opportunities to practice signing and then self-test your vocabulary, as well as to watch your professor in conversation with another signer. You can also review the lessons as often as you like to improve your fluency in this fascinating and powerful visuospatial language.

What Is American Sign Language?

ASL is a relatively new language, only about 200 years old. In the early years of the United States, various groups of people developed their own forms of sign language. However, nothing was standardized until Dr. Thomas Gallaudet brought Laurent Clerc, a Deaf teacher from France to the United States. In 1817, they established the college now called the American college for the Deaf. At that college, local and indigenous sign languages were mixed with French signs to become the new American Sign Language.

As you ll learn in this course, ASL is

American. ASL is uniquely American, used natively only in the United States and some areas of Canada. While English speakers can communicate easily in any English-speaking country, the same is not true for ASL. About 300 unique sign languages exist around the world and they differ greatly from region to region.
Sign. ASL users communicate with signs, gestures, facial expressions, and body language. The signs you will learn in this course will form a basic foundation for communication; thousands more are available as you expand your signing. The American Sign Language Dictionary contains about 40,000 signs and, like any spoken or written language, it continues to expand.
Language. ASL is a complete, natural language with the same linguistic properties as spoken languages word formation, word order, grammar, and sentence structure. ASL is not a word-for-word translation of English. In fact, its only relationship to English is the occasional use of fingerspelled English words; but those words are technically not part of ASL. Like any language, ASL has regional accents, dialects, variations in rhythm, and slang.
New-to-You Language Terms

ASL and English are not at all similar. As Dr. Silvestri points out, one quick shortcut to thinking about those differences is to remember the character Yoda from the Star Wars films. While English typically follows subject-verb-object order, ASL grammar is more closely represented by Yoda s speech patterns in which the object often comes first. In American Sign Language for Everyone, you ll learn ASL grammar and syntax that differ from English, including

Topicalization. This is a mechanism of syntax that brings the main topic up to the front of the sentence. English doesn t use topicalization, but Japanese does. In ASL, topicalization helps create the diamond shape of communication the topic is presented first in the top center of the signing space, followed by as many additional details as desired, and finally a question or restatement of the topic idea.
Role-Shifting. As the signer is presenting details and opinions related to the stated topic, they can use role-shifting, a grammatical device to indicate perspectives other than that of the narrator. This is achieved by body movement, eye gaze direction, and facial expressions. It s also used in telling stories with multiple characters as a visual way of indicating who is speaking at a given moment.
Classifiers. Classifiers are handshapes that that give information about a previously presented topic. The different types of classifiers can indicate pronouns, movements, location, size, texture, and many other features.
Literary ASL

The lessons in this course are grouped into four sections: culture, conversation, community, and composition. In the first three units, you will learn about signs, introductions, and how to have conversations describing the world around you and your opinions. The final unit will introduce you to some of the most expressive and creative aspects of ASL.

Many linguistics experts believe signed languages are more expressive than spoken or written language. You will see those principles in action as signs, full body movements, and a wide variety of dramatic facial expressions intuitively convey meaning that would require many additional words in English. You will learn about

Storytelling. ASL lends itself to storytelling, with the signer adding meaning with body language and facial expression, layer upon layer. By using role-shifting, the storyteller can juggle many characters at once, indicating who is speaking and in what mood without having to use the attributions and descriptors that can sometimes slow down a story in English.
Visual Vernacular. Visual vernacular is a storytelling mechanism and sign-language art form that uses visually iconic sign language and body expression accompanied by mime. This form uses a greater number of generic signs and fewer signs that are specific to ASL, allowing meaning to be conveyed to anyone, whether the viewer knows ASL or not. It is a completely visual art form and has been compared to manga, video games, and performance art.
Poetry. ASL poetry serves the same function in the Deaf community as English poetry serves in the English-speaking world; we use it to teach our children from the youngest ages, express our concerns, and explore our feelings about the world. You ll learn how to create poetry using the phonological parameters of handshape, movement, orientation, location, and facial expression.
In American Sign Language for Everyone, you will gain insight into the art forms of this expressive and powerful visuospatial language. You will also build a strong foundation in ASL to connect and communicate with members of the American Deaf community. A whole new world of expression will be open to you.

What Will You Learn?
Explore the history of sign language and deaf people, and delve into the basic cultural norms of sign language communication

Master the building blocks of ASL, including gestural language and communication, the ASL alphabet, numbers in ASL, the importance of introductions in Deaf culture, facial expressions and greetings in ASL, and the linguistic parameters of ASL

Develop proficiency with questions, commands, everyday activities, food signs, time signs, and transportation and location signs

Expand narrative skills using ASL literary forms and learn how to craft simple compositions across a variety of ASL literary genres

TTC - Epigenetics: How Environment Changes Your Biology

Epigenetics is the science of living DNA, charting the chemical pathways that spur DNA into action by turning genes on and off

Epigenetics is the science of living DNA, charting the chemical pathways that spur DNA into action by turning genes on and off. This rapidly advancing field has overturned traditional ideas about heredity, revealing that both behavior and the environment can affect the way our genes work. Adding a new twist to the nature-versus-nurture debate, epigenetics researchers have discovered that

We Inherit More Than We Suspect. Changes that affect the activity of DNA can be passed from parents to children.
Epigenetics Works Quickly. Twenty minutes of exercise or just one meal can transform how your genes function.
Pollution Gums Up Genetic Machinery. Pollution from a wide range of chemicals has a long-lasting effect on gene expression.
While the Human Genome Project of the early 2000s was hailed as the key to understanding human heredity and disease, this historic effort was just the beginning. It has taken epigenetics to fill in the picture, explaining how the fixed code of our genome is implemented in countless cellular activities. The same goes for the genomes of every living thing on Earth; epigenetics calls the shots.

Epigenetics: How Environment Changes Your Biology covers this vital science in 12 in-depth, half-hour lectures, presented by noted British epigeneticist, physician, and science communicator Dr. Charlotte Mykura.

Lively and authoritative, Dr. Mykura explains how epigenetics is ubiquitous, influenced by activities like diet and lifestyle. For example, aging is largely an epigenetic phenomenon. So is our susceptibility to many diseases, as well as our body s ability to fight infection. You learn how epigenetics governs the X and Y chromosomes, the miraculous process of building an embryo, and the transmission of environmental experience between generations. And you investigate how epigenetics evolved in the first place and where the epigenetic universe might take us next, especially in the realm of medicine.

Enter the Epigenetic Jungle

Dr. Mykura begins with something we all learned in middle college: that the double helix of DNA is ingeniously organized to encode the complete genetic blueprint for an organism a masterplan that is present in practically all cells. Skin cells, nerve cells, bone cells, muscle cells, and female egg cells, among others, all have the entire plan. But that raises the question: How does DNA know what to do, where to do it, and when? After all, a foot doesn t grow out of your head, even though the instructions are right there in the cells of your scalp along with information for every other body part you have.

Epigenetics: How Environment Changes Your Biology clears up this mystery and more. It turns out that the graceful spiral-staircase structure of DNA familiar in introductory textbooks is not what the molecule looks like in action. That s why this course focuses on living DNA folded, twisted, constantly shapeshifting, and performing biological wonders thanks to epigenetics.

Dr. Mykura often refers to the epigenetic jungle, which includes your

Chromosomes and Genes. In humans, DNA is divided into 46 chromosomes, comprising some 20,000 genes, which are segments of DNA that code for proteins the workhorses of cellular metabolism.
Regulatory DNA. Between the genes are long stretches of non-coding DNA. Once called junk DNA because it was thought to be useless, scientists now suspect it plays a crucial role in epigenesis.
Methyl Groups and Histones. These are the masterminds of epigenetics, binding to DNA, transforming its shape, switching genes on and off, and performing other important functions.
A chromosome will spend most of its life looking something a bit like a hairball, says Dr. Mykura, with each of your 46 chromosomes forming its own hair ball clump. But there s method in that fuzzy mess, she explains, as a host of epigenetic molecules move into place to control the compaction and expression of different genes. In her explanation of the epigenetic jungle, Dr. Mykura is like an explorer making sense of the intricate ecology of the rainforest.

Discover a New World

Unlike some scientific revolutions, epigenetics has developed slowly, with mounting evidence pointing at extraordinary conclusions. An early hint came in the aftermath of the famine that gripped Nazi-occupied Holland during the last winter of World War II. One would expect health repercussions in the children born to malnourished mothers who survived the famine. But the health effects have persisted in subsequent generations, as if these descendants inherited something borne from their ancestors experience. Incredibly, these offspring appear to have inherited traits governed by epigenetic markers, not changes in their genome. This suggests there might be some truth to the long-discredited idea of inheritance of acquired characteristics, promoted by 19th-century French biologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. Dr. Mykura presents and evaluates the evidence for this startling hypothesis.

She opens your eyes in other ways, too, exploring the epigenetics of

Diet. The worldwide obesity epidemic is happening far too fast to be explained by genetic changes. Epigenetic imprinting is the likely culprit, caused by poor diet and capable of being inherited.
Smoking. Tobacco smoke bathes lung tissue in over 60 cancer-causing compounds, overwhelming DNA damage-repair enzymes. With our epigenomes stunned by cigarette smoke, we re vulnerable to cancer.
Cannabis. The increased use of cannabis has seen a parallel growth in mental illnesses like schizophrenia, partly due to the epigenetic effects of cannabinoid compounds that behave like neurotransmitters.
The idea that specific foods and chemicals pose a health risk is hardly new. But Dr. Mykura zeroes in on exactly how harm is done at the cellular level and, alarmingly, how that damage can alter the epigenetic modifications that are passed on to our offspring. On a more positive note, she points out the beneficial epigenetic alterations that come from regular exercise, a plant-dominated diet, and periodic fasting, among other lifestyle choices.

Fascinated with biology since she was a child, Dr. Mykura pursued that interest through medical college and a research doctorate. In her decades of immersion in the life sciences, epigenetics has been a revelation to her. Epigenetics is like discovering a whole world you never even knew existed, she marvels. Whenever you really look at the hive of activity that brings our DNA to life, what you find is epigenetics. In this course, you, too, will be impressed by this powerful new science.

What Will You Learn?
Learn the difference between the static DNA illustrated in textbooks and the living DNA activated by epigenetics

Study the ways genes turn on and off

Discover the connection between your diet, health, and heritable traits
