How to Get Up in the Morning | Zibby Lindholm | TEDxYorkSchool


Zibby Lindholm has always loved to share her opinions with the world. After years of others wondering how to build similar confidence, Zibby decided to share her experiences and her solutions. She provides a path that people may take to develop their thread of confidence. Throughout her talk, she seeks to prove that confidence is not an innate quality, using the talk itself as an example. When not obsessing over the latest Marvel or Star Wars movie trailer, Zib can be found skipping around campus to visit with all of her classmates. On the other hand, her natural habitat is the water and one can find her kicking names and taking ass in the waves. Or playing *drowning* in a game of waterpolo. She absolutely loves sleeping in and diving into new books from the comfort of her king-size fleece blanket. Always up for a vibrant discussion about science or Harry Potter, she will happily seek out the strangest of adventures. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Changing the world through fashion: Eva Kruse at TEDxCopenhagen


On the brink of potentially dangerous climate change and with attention on corporate social responsibility soaring to new heights, the world needs innovators — both people and businesses — who can lead the push toward more sustainable solutions. The fashion industry has the potential to be one such innovator, working proactively to address critical environmental, social, and ethical challenges on a global scale.
Consumers — you and I — can play a pivotal role in transitioning the fashion industry towards more sustainable business models that significantly reduce the social and environmental impacts of the industry.
My talk is about what every one of us can do to improve our personal footprint and the environmental and social impact of the fashion industry.

She is also board member of several organizations and companies among them for instance: Nordic Fashion Association, Wonderful Copenhagen and Birger Christensen.

In 2005, Eva Kruse was one of the co-founders of Danish Fashion Institute and Copenhagen Fashion Week.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Аудиокнига. А.Круз "Бандит". Часть 1. Читает Андрей Кравец.


Случайность? Иногда хочется верить, что это именно так и ты, по большому счету, ни при чем. Что это не испытание на прочность. И не воздаяние за прошлые грехи.
Владимира Бирюкова, «странника», способного перемещаться по разным реальностям, во время перехода «случайно» затягивает в мир, поразительно напоминающий лихие 90-е в уже совсем не Советской России. Причем прототип, которого Владимиру предстоит заменить, — бандит, член ОПГ, браток, со всеми вытекающими. И скоро Бирюков начинает понимать, что действительность, окружающая его и на первый взгляд вполне пригодная для жизни, гораздо страшнее мира монстров и близкой Тьмы.
