Tom Petty: My past use of Confederate flag was ‘downright stupid’ | MSNBC

Modern AfroIndio Times

Tom Petty: My past use of Confederate flag was ‘downright stupid’ | MSNBC – Petty told Rolling Stone that he always regretted using the flag in that manner, and wishes he’d reflected on how others might perceive it. “People just need to think about how it looks to a black person. It’s just awful. It’s like how a swastika looks to a Jewish person,” he said. The rocker went on to say that Americans should be more concerned about losing innocent black men to police killings, than a symbol of “southern heritage.”

Watching the film “Lucy” over the weekend I was amazed that the director said he had talked with at least a dozen Nobel prize scientists over the course of a decade. Whomever these scientists were, they seemed to live in an alternate Universe, where educational theories and research such as Howard Gardner’s MI theory, the psychology of “flow” and the educational application of neuroplasticity research is unknown.

In one of the interviews with a “leading” scientist who helped advise the film he talked about the power of ADHD drugs. Its like he was clueless to what educational researchers know about mindfulness training and how skills are self-constructed by learners over time, through long term practice and application. The film is correct in saying that most people use only about 10% of their brain’s potential, but there is no chip implant or…

Collected Poems of Alexander Pope : The Reader’s Library, Volume 12

Title: Collected Poems of Alexander Pope : The Reader’s Library, Volume 12

Author: Pope, Alexander

Publisher: William Ralph Press

Volume: The Reader’s Library, Volume 12

Language: English

Subjects: Fiction, Drama and Literature, Poetry

Collection: Poetry

Description: Alexander Pope (1688-1744) is widely considered to be the best poet of the Augustan age, and perhaps English verse’s best satirist ever. Pope was mostly self-taught having been denied a formal protestant education because of his family’s Roman Catholic beliefs; he also suffered from the effects of Pott’s disease his entire life, which left him deformed and of small stature never growing past the height of four feet six inches. Despite these challenges, Pope flourished in English society and was likely its first professional literary writer having garnered significant income from the sales of books to the public as opposed to traditional patronages, capitalizing mostly on his excellent translations of Homer and an edited edition of Shakespeare. A close friend of Jonathan Swift in their famous Scriblerus Club, he was quite famous in his time, and while his reputation declined in the 19th century, he is now considered the most canonical poet of his era and the true master of the heroic couplet (followed closely by his predecessor, John Dryden) and English poetic satire. This edition of his poems collects all of his major work, and most of his minor and early poetry as well.
