1/5/2024 0 Comments Great minds think alike![]() According to ACAS, one in seven people are neurodivergent, with conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia. So why are we so slow to catch on? Why are we still encouraging groupthink and conformity, rather than embracing the ways in which we diverge from one another?Ĭoined in the 90s by the Australian sociologist Judy Singer, the term “neurodivergent” describes someone who thinks differently from the majority of society (“neurotypical”). #aspiepower /A71qVBhWUU- Greta Thunberg August 31, 2019 And – given the right circumstances- being different is a superpower. I have Aspergers and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm. When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. “I can 85% smell it and almost taste it, I’m normally about right”, he told Jessie Ware on the Table Manners podcast. Greta Thunberg describes being autistic as a “superpower”, while Jamie Oliver describes being dyslexic as a “gift”-enabling him to put together flavours and concepts in his head. Asked whether he would get rid of his ADHD if he could, JetBlue founder David Neeleman commented-“I’m afraid of taking drugs once, blowing a circuit, and then being like the rest of you”. Many of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs, creatives and thinkers certainly feel this way. What if it is difference, not sameness, that makes us thrive? When we rebuild the proverb, we are provided with a new narrative. Quick to spot greatness when it reminds us of ourselves, we trip up in the glare of our own reflection- dismissing difference, ignoring nuance. Our collective misremembering speaks volumes. “Great minds think alike, though fools seldom differ.” Somewhere along the way, the latter half of the proverb dropped into the ether. “Great minds think alike,” the saying goes.

The festivities will begin at noon on Monday, June 6, with the 4th annual MoonDogs luncheon. Previous guests included Hall of Fame player Harmon Killebrew in 2002, Hall of Fame announcer Herb Carneal in 2003, and World Series Champion Frank Viola in 2004. Oliva adds to the list of appearances by Minnesota Twins legends on opening day. Tony Oliva will be on hand throughout Opening Day, in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Minnesota Twins 1965 World Series appearance. In less than two weeks, the lines will be chalked, the grills will be cooking, and the "Dog Pound” will be barking as the MoonDogs kick off their Home Opener presented by Wells Fargo. at Franklin Rogers Park against the division rival St. But for many American Jews, Koufax’s legend had already been firmly established eight days earlier.(Mankato, MN) (Mankato, MN) The Mankato MoonDogs Baseball Team, a member of the Northwoods League, is proud to announce its Home Opener, featuring Tony Oliva, will be on June 6, at 7:05 p.m. Koufax would be named the series’ most valuable player. Koufax delivered again, holding the Twins scoreless and delivering the championship to the Dodgers. The Twins would even the series again, and Koufax was called on to pitch the decisive Game 7 with just two days rest. This time, he delivered, holding the Twins scoreless and giving the Dodgers the lead. But the Dodgers would even the series at 2-2 before Koufax’s next start, in Game 5. Koufax would go on to pitch in Game 2, which was played in Minneapolis the following day, and lost, 5-1. Fifty years after the 1965 series, multiple national publications, both Jewish and not, would publish reminiscences about Koufax’s decision. And because Koufax was a secular Jew, his commitment to observing the Jewish Day of Atonement amounted to a public testament that the day’s restrictions did not belong to the Orthodox alone.Īnd it wasn’t only the Jews who found the story compelling. (The Tigers won the pennant anyway.) But Koufax’s refusal to play became a major point of pride for American Jews, who saw that it was possible to live in two cultures at once. Hank Greenberg, the Detroit Tigers slugger, skipped a game during the 1934 pennant race because it fell on Yom Kippur. ![]() Koufax wasn’t the first Jewish baseball star to sit out a game because of a Jewish holiday. And a mythology quickly grew up around it, including the claim (unverified and probably false) that Koufax showed up in synagogue in Minneapolis that day, and the story (likely true) that a rabbi visited him at his hotel after the holiday to offer him a pair of tefillin in gratitude. Jewish baseball fans around the country swelled with pride at the thought that one of their own - a star of the most quintessential of American sports - would decline to play on the game’s biggest stage out of religious conviction. The decision would become the stuff of American Jewish legend. Koufax had also thrown a perfect game less than a month earlier, becoming just the sixth pitcher of the modern era to do so.īut Octowas also Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. ![]() The Dodgers ace was having the best year of his career in 1965, leading the majors with 26 wins and racking up 382 strikeouts, a Major League record at the time and still only one fewer than the all-time single-season record held by Nolan Ryan. It should have been Sandy Koufax on the mound that day. In the third inning, the Twins scored six runs, pulling ahead 7-1. Don Drysdale was pitching for the Dodgers and he got hammered. On the afternoon of October 6, 1965, the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Minnesota Twins assembled on the field of Metropolitan Stadium outside Minneapolis for Game 1 of the World Series.

I don't forget sitting for hours on end, either on touchscreen or at my iCade, trying to last just a little bit longer, cursing out that disc gun, the giant walking green skulls, or the stupid fire pit at the bottom. Super Crate Box: It would be easy to forget that this was actually a 2012 title, since it came out in the first week of January. The same can be said for seeing a penguin ride along on the fuzzy mythological beast." If a man and a penguin riding a yeti while outrunning an avalanche ever gets old, I will weep bitterly. Watching the yeti run wildly or slide along on its stomach never gets old. Not only are they useful, they’re also pretty funny. I'll let Rob Rich explain why it made our list: "Penguins, snowmobiles, eagles, and yeti can all be used to put some real distance between the accident prone man and the avalanche. Ski Safari: There are endless runners, and then there's Ski Safari. And it’s with no hesitation or trepidation that I suggest that everyone reading this should buy it. It’s a game that’s likely to please zombie fans as well as anyone who remembers the one without the green-skinned shamblers fondly. Rob Rich feels the same way: "Virtually every aspect of Organ Trail: Director’s Cut oozes style and cleverness. By combining the look and feel of an 80's PC Oregon Trail game, and combining its mechanics with a modern-day zombie apocalypse, the elements brilliantly wind up informing each other and forming a sublime take on a classic. Organ Trail: Director's Cut: Often times, pixel art is used just as an art style, and not to convey an actual retro feel. You would have to be crazy not to take this hot rod out for a nice long joy ride."ġ5. Yet despite the good looks, it is definitely a keeper for its gameplay according to Blake Grundman: "Even with the most critical of eyes, Need for Speed: Most Wanted is still easily one of the best racers on the platform to date. From being packed full of features, and looking absolutely amazing to boot, it's showing that the difference between consoles and mobile, at least on a technical level, is a rapidly-shrinking gulf. Need For Speed Most Wanted: If one game was to define how far iOS gaming came this year, EA and Criterion's racer, adapted to iOS by Firemonkeys, might be it. Plus, what other game has people in frog suits flying planes? It's the only game on this list, for sure.ġ6. So was Pocket Planes, thanks in no small part to the fact that there was more surface strategy to employ, and the ability for players to have a say in their fate as they expand their airline's reach into a globe-traversing empire. Pocket Planes: Nimblebit hates our free time. Sure, there's modes that require quick thinking as well that are plenty of fun, but the premise of One Polymer is what kept me coming back.ġ7. Polymer: Play the "One Polymer" mode in this unique sliding puzzle game from indie-musician-turned-developer Whitaker Trebella to see its genius: it encourages long-term strategizing and planning to make a high-scoring match, not just quick reactions like in other puzzle games. Rather than rest on the laurels of novelty and squander the core mechanic, developer Hope This Works Games offers a new way to think about color matching in almost every level."ġ8. But it shines because it is never content to keep throwing the same tricks at players, as Eli Cymet explains: "Polara boasts tight and varied gameplay, and consummately constructed stages. Polara: This endless runner mixes in the color-switching of classic shmup Ikaruga with endless runner gameplay. The high quality of the game, which transcends its silly people-organization concept by just continuously iterating and evolving on it throughout the game, made it something special.ġ9. The silliness made it a great fit on a surface level for the publisher. Girls Like Robots: Based on quality, Adult Swim Games probably had the best 2012 of any mobile publisher, with a succession of high-quality games with absurd premises. Have an opinion of your own?

He said golf comes up every game he works. Oshie, Dallas’ Joe Pavelski and Vegas’ Mark Stone. It also helps to have something outside hockey to talk about with avid golfers like Washington’s T.J. “And then I think just the pressure situations that come with being in a big hockey game or playing in a big golf tournament: just being susceptible to that for the whole year.” “In officiating, we get one look at it in really high speed and you have to make a decision and be really decisive,” he said. Rank thinks golfing helps make him a better referee, specifically in making split-second decisions and handling the spotlight.

Mid-Amateur Championship from earning a spot at the Masters. Rank finished fifth at the Crump Cup Memorial Tournament at Pine Valley in New Jersey. “I’m fortunate enough to have a net and kind of a half-simulator in my garage, so I hit balls a bunch in there when I’m home,” Rank said. Limited to eight to 10 rounds of golf during the hockey season, Rank identifies 70% as a referee and 30% with his other sport. Rank wasn’t sure he’d be able to keep those separate passions going to this level: He has worked more than 450 NHL games and ranks 164th in the world among amateur golfers he has reached as high as 34th. ![]() As an adult, he’s able to do the same thing - just replace playing with refereeing.

With an increased focus on English subject matter, recent bodies of work have concentrated on the "bright young things" of 1920s London and the Bloomsbury Group, whose male members, with the exception of Duncan Grant, were educated at Cambridge. Inspired by an exhibition of illuminated manuscripts at the Fitzwilliam Museum, which included a vitrine containing the pigments used to create them, he has recently begun to make his own paints, the results of which can be seen in these paintings on linen and painted works on paper.īas' practice has always been intrinsically linked to an exploration of history and literature and stems from the artist's interest in figuring historical and mythological narratives within the imagery and iconography of popular culture, fashion, queer culture and mysticism. In his depiction of this, Bas makes a gentle nod to Théodore Gericault's The Raft of the Medusa, 1818–19, though allusions to classical themes and genres are always viewed through the prism of his interpretations as an observer and an outsider-whether trying to follow in the footsteps of Lord Byron, portraying punters, or depicting freshers, a term unknown to the artist before his Cambridge sojourn.īas is as prodigious in his experimentation with painting materials and techniques as with his reference points and source material. Debauchery of a more inclusive and contemporary kind is witnessed in the artist's depiction of Caesarian Sunday, the first of Cambridge's summer drinking parties traditionally held on the Sunday of the May Bank Holiday weekend, and the notorious after-exams party Suicide Sunday, held in June, and its traditional cardboard boat race. ![]() The notoriety of this thrill-seeking fraternity was cemented when an eponymous book, written under the pseudonym Whipplesnaith, was published by Chatto and Windus in 1937, featuring photographs of members perched atop steeples and squeezed between pillars without climbing ropes and often dressed in dapper evening attire.Īn aura of camaraderie, transgression, eroticism and decadence permeates other works on display, which feature Cambridge societies such as the secretive Adonians, famed for their fabled dinners in which fellows and old boys invite the most attractive male undergraduates. Following a period of research while in residence at Jesus College Cambridge in 2016, Bas has developed new subject matter including the famed "Night Climbers of Cambridge," a group of students whose nocturnal ascents of the ancient buildings of the university and town, taking photographs while trying to avoid detection, gained them a cult following during the early decades of the 20th century. 1/4/2024 0 Comments Happy bones ny![]() Custom-made perforated mesh panels are an example of the “industrial craft” vibe shaped by GVID and UM’s interaction, and angular shapes in light grey suggest a mechanical slant to things.
