'I found that the best way to deal with the situation was to breathe deeply, to imagine that I was like a huge tree and then to start the forte theme full of presence' Violinist Arabella Steinbacher shares her insights into Ravel's Tzigane. Read more here: https://trib.al/XnlVVc5

DE OVERMAN REGE MERIDIES OCCIDENS AQVILO AC ORIENS Into the OVER-CROSS, as a new value. Classical Latin, DE, as employed with the ablative, being medieval, as in the 13th century writings of Ramon Llull († 1315). In English, thus indicating Universality: Of the Overman, He the King (REGE), is (EST, generally implied in Latin) the South (MERIDIES), the West (OCCIDENS), the North (AQVILO, as in Joachim of Fiore, † 1205, Liber Figurarum) and the East (AC ORIENS). #ΛOΓΟΣ #Cross #Overman

There are always going to be forces in the world that would prefer people to be ignorant and gullible. Fortunately, history shows that other figures devote their lives to sharing knowledge. Today from my illustrated #Tolkien blog: https://lnkd.in/gyUeEXtF

"Silence is a profound melody." Early in my leadership journey I remember encountering Viktor Frankl's wisdom, "In between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response." Through the years with success and failure, I have learned that in the space between is the opportunity to listen. With practice, it's possible to turn down the volume and filter out the noise. It's possible to listen and make a better choice. Those "better" choices, Frankl contends are the choices that lead to growth and freedom. Long before the language of Emotional Intelligence was popular, Frankl provided a simple, yet profound picture of the power of self-awareness and self-regulation. Practice today and you might just hear a new melody that will shape your leadership journey and provide lift to those around you.

Demonic warrior in Kimono covered in blood of the enemies. The inspiration for this illustration was from a Japanese legend ‘Shuten Doji’ but in a human/demon form. I am really a fascinated by the Japanese culture and their history. #characterillustration #conceptart #characterdesign #illustration #characterillustrator #animeillustration

In 1519, Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés led 600 men to the coast of Mexico to conquer the Aztec Empire.   Upon arriving, Cortés realized his forces were vastly outnumbered by the Aztecs.   Fully committed to the mission and to eliminate any thoughts of retreat, Cortés ordered his ships to be burned.   Cortés removed the option of retreat and forced his men to fully commit to the mission ahead. The only way for his men to survive and return home was to win.   Where in your work or life are you feeling you may be at the point of no return?   Do you need to “burn the ships?”   What course of action do you need to take that will eliminate any possibility of retreat?

important professional update: I've recorded the 2nd of Chopin's Trois nouvelles études I'm reminded also of Scriabin's piece from 4 Morceaux Op.51 (my recording: https://lnkd.in/eGSb-Cyy) the main connection to me is their melodic ambiguity the link between them is also temporal: the Chopin is 3 (RH) against 2 (LH) while the Scriabin is 2 (RH) against 3 (LH) https://lnkd.in/edZqKT-K

Most #Olympic mascots in history have been colourful animal characters, but why has #France, the host country of the 2024 Olympics, chosen a hat with an almost unpronounceable name?   The #Phryge (pronounced as “Free-juh”), the official mascot of the 2024 Paris Olympics, represents freedom is based on the Phrygian caps with deep significance in the history of France. Its origin goes back thousands of years, making appearances in the Trojan War, the legend of King Midas, and even the American Revolution.   Also known as the liberty cap, the Phrygian caps can be seen on everyday objects in France, such as coins and stamps. They are also an international symbol of liberty worn by freed slaves in Roman times and appearing on different emblems in North and South America!   #INTLINGO #TranslationCompany #TranslationService #LanguageExpert #Language #Translation #Olympics2024 #ParisOlympics
