XQ Institute is launching XQ: The Super School Project, a challenge to reimagine and design the next American high school. Harnessing the best of American ingenuity in cities and towns across the country, XQ aims to help spark a movement to rethink the American high school—an institution that was designed to meet the needs of the Industrial Revolution and hasn’t changed in more than a century.
“Our nation is radically different than it was 100 years ago. Nearly every aspect of our daily lives—from how we communicate to how we work and play—has changed dramatically,” said Laurene Powell Jobs, Chair of the board of XQ Institute. “But our high schools have stayed frozen in time. Together, we have an opportunity to help fuel a movement for students, to inspire great high schools, and even to rethink school itself. Our passion at XQ is to help educators everywhere foster students who are curious, engaged, and creative—armed with the new literacies, knowledge, and skills needed to thrive,” she added. “To do that, we must use our collective imagination.”
From the Model T to the Tesla and the switchboard to the smart phone—everything has changed except for how we prepare our kids for the future. XQ: The Super School Project is a rallying call to America to change the outdated model that has failed to prepare our students for the demands of the global economy, and an open call to every community to rethink high school for today and tomorrow. XQ Institute will provide a fund of $50 million to support at least five selected schools over the next five years. It will also partner with them to provide expert support and guidance to turn their ideas into real Super Schools that can inspire the country.

Stashimi Inc., a new LA-based music, news and entertainment group dedicated to saving our collective attention spans, today announced that it will be releasing its flagship mobile app in conjunction with a signature event series dedicated to supporting emerging artists.
Working with a diverse list of rising talents like Mr. Carmack, Terrace Martin, Jesse Boykins III, SOSUPERSAM, Yung Jake and more, Stashimi will host producer workshops, EP releases, intimate shows with incredible lineups, and a touring university lecture series with former NPR hip-hop podcast Microphone Check, created by Ali Shaheed Muhammad (A Tribe Called Quest) and journalist Frannie Kelley.
"Artists drive culture, and Stashimi honors and reinforces that. Stashimi respects journalism, even thinks it’s necessary, but its allegiance is to the musician. And we second that emotion,” says Frannie Kelley and Ali Shaheed Muhammad.

Construction is complete at A/D/O, a new 23,000 square-foot creative space, which opens to the public in Greenpoint, Brooklyn following the holiday season. At the core of A/D/O is its Design Academy, which aims to inspire pioneering work and be a forum for interdisciplinary debate. A/D/O will provide unique opportunities for professional development while inviting the broader public to explore design through a range of installations, exhibitions and events.
The Design Academy at A/D/O will offer an ambitious seasonal program geared towards design professionals, which stimulates relevant dialogue and new work through talks and workshops, special exhibitions and commissions and designer residencies. Its first program, entitled “Utopia vs. Dystopia: Designing Our Imagined Futures,” investigates the role design plays in a world of rapid change. Partnerships with design firms MOS Architects, OLIN, Stephen Burks Man Made and Turner-prize winning collective Assemble, as well as talks from Yves Behar and Alice Rawsthorn among others, are important components of this inaugural season, which will kick off with a three-day festival January 27-29, 2017.

The Ad Council’s I Am A Witness campaign is bringing together the top digital companies in the teen space for the second iteration of the award-winning and unprecedented effort aimed at transforming the “silent majority” of kids who witness bullying each day from passive bystanders into a united, empowered and active collective against bullying. The campaign is the first to create an anti-bullying emoji adopted by Unicode and natively available on nearly all smartphones across the world. There will be activations throughout the month of October to coincide with Bullying Prevention Month.

Imagine trying to make a decision with only half the information. Today, nearly all organizations across the public and private sectors rely on data to make better decisions about everything from employee salaries to new legislation. Data provides decision makers insight into what the baseline is, where collective needs are, and where resources should be allocated. But half our world’s population—women—are underrepresented and many times completely unrepresented in these datasets.
Inaccurate data often results from gender bias in the design of surveys or questionnaires, or from someone other than the woman or girl responding to a survey on her behalf. Misrepresented or incomplete gender data collection yields results that misses the mark on understanding women’s needs or their economic and social contributions. Policies and initiatives around healthcare, education, economic opportunity and more are built based on what’s available—gender-biased data—and fail to fairly serve women and girls. How can we close the gender data gap and pursue the global ambition towards gender equality and a fuller understanding of the whole population?

L'arte di intrattenere con le giuste atmosfere i momenti di incontro e relax dei vostri ospiti e del divertimento nel ballo tutta la notte, è una questione di dettagli che vive nell'esperienza e di attimi. Non si raggiunge con una playlist uguale per tutte le occasioni. E' un lavoro artistico che necessita della giusta sensibilità e cultura musicale per rendere la vostra festa di matrimonio un evento che resterà nella memoria collettiva di tutti i presenti. Anche il crescendo della serata, l'arte di far urlare e cantare i ritornelli delle canzoni al cambio di mixaggio, è una caratteristica legata all'esperienza. Potrete indicarmi i vostri gusti musicali ed io su queste ed altre caratteristiche creerò come un sarto, la vostra serata.
Indicatemi la vostra data, la location, il numero approssimativo di ospiti, sarò felice di aiutarvi ad organizzare un fantastico wedding party. La vostra serata.

The art of entertaining with the right atmosphere the moments of meeting and relaxation of your guests and the fun in the dance all night, is a matter of details that lives in the experience and moments. You do not reach it with an equal playlist for all occasions. It’s an artistic work that needs the right sensitivity and musical culture to make your wedding party an event that will be remembered in the collective memory of everyone present. The growing of the evening, the art of making the chorus of the songs scream and sing at the change of mixing, is also a characteristic linked to the experience. You can tell me your musical tastes and I will create your evening as a tailor.
Tell me your date, location, approximate number of guests, I will be happy to help you organize a fantastic wedding party. This is your night.
