Looking at the 14 key traits of genius, from curiosity to creative maladjustment to obsession, Professor Craig Wright, creator of Yale University's popular “Genius Course,” explores what we can learn from brilliant minds that have changed the world. Einstein. Beethoven. Picasso. Jobs. The word genius evokes these iconic figures, whose cultural contributions have irreversibly shaped society.

Yet Beethoven could not multiply. Picasso couldn’t pass a fourth grade math test. And Jobs left high school with a 2.65 GPA. What does this say about our metrics for measuring success and achievement today? Why do we teach children to behave and play by the rules, when the transformative geniuses of Western culture have done just the opposite? And what is genius, really?

Professor Craig Wright, creator of Yale University’s popular “Genius Course,” has devoted more than two decades to exploring these questions and probing the nature of this term, which is deeply embedded in our culture. In The Hidden Habits of Genius, he reveals what we can learn from the lives of those we have dubbed “geniuses,” past and present.

Examining the lives of transformative individuals ranging from Charles Darwin and Marie Curie to Leonardo Da Vinci and Andy Warhol to Toni Morrison and Elon Musk, Wright identifies more than a dozen drivers of genius - characteristics and patterns of behavior common to great minds throughout history. He argues that genius is about more than intellect and work ethic - it is far more complex - and that the famed “eureka” moment is a Hollywood fiction. Brilliant insights that change the world are never sudden, but rather, they are the result of unique modes of thinking and lengthy gestation. Most importantly, the habits of mind that produce great thinking and discovery can be actively learned and cultivated, and Wright shows us how.

This book won't make you a genius. But embracing the hidden habits of these transformative individuals will make you more strategic, creative, and successful, and, ultimately, happier.

Has the age of antibiotics come to an end? From a young girl on life support in Arizona to an uncontrollable outbreak in 20XX at one of the nation’s most prestigious hospitals, FRONTLINE investigates a deadly type of bacteria that our modern antibiotics can’t stop. (Aired 2013)

Addie Rerecich was a happy 11-year-old girl who loved sports and talked a mile a minute. But when a mysterious pain in her hip landed her in the hospital in 2011, she began a downward spiral into the nightmare of a new kind of antibiotic-resistant infection that is confounding doctors across the world.

Addie’s precipitous decline might sound unusual, but as FRONTLINE reveals in “Hunting the Nightmare Bacteria”, medicine’s struggle with deadly drug-resistant infections is becoming all too real. After decades of antibiotic overuse, the crisis of untreatable infections has only deepened. Most major drug companies, squeezed by Wall Street expectations and facing steep scientific hurdles, have abandoned the development of new antibiotics. Correspondent David Hoffman takes viewers behind the story of one major drug company’s efforts to overcome the new drug-resistant superbugs—and why, despite those efforts, the drug pipeline is running dry.

Should YOU become a copywriter? (For some people the answer is no)

Learn how to add text to a flat surface, a round surface, a sphere, and an irregular surface on objects in Fusion360. These same concepts can be applied for an image or logo (just import an svg image in your sketch, then use that profile for embossing/debossing).

I'm not an expert, this is just how I do it and hopefully this can be helpful to you too!

Timestamps:
0:00 - Intro
0:26 - Flat surface
3:11 - Rounded surface
9:35 - Spherical surface
13:15 - Irregular surface

(For reference, I am using Fusion 360 version 2.0.9)

Sorry for the background noise, this is my first time ever making a video so I didn't realize the bad audio!

Prince William has suggested entrepreneurs like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Sir Richard Branson should focus on saving the Earth rather than engaging in space tourism.

The Duke of Cambridge said great brains and minds should be "trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live".

Talking to BBC Newscast's Adam Fleming, he explained how the inaugural Earthshot Prize will aim to reward people providing inspiring and innovative solutions to problems facing the planet.

The prize's name is a reference to the "moonshot" ambition of 1960s America, which saw President John F Kennedy pledge to get a man on the moon within a decade.

We out here in Seattle,
Washington, the blackest one,

we got a very special guest
man, don't be alarmed.

Y'all might be hearing sea
planes and boats on-boarding

We came out here for one
reason, one reason only.

- Four-time WNBA Champion,
five-time Olympic gold medalist,

two time national champion,
four time FIBA champion.

Without further ado, we
got Seattle Storm's own

you're one of my all time
favorite point guards

and this is definitely
truly one in the bucket list

who was the first person to bust your ass.

I mean, when I came into
the league, it was still,

- You know, I'm lucky
at that point guard spot

- But it's actually the first
time I remember thinking like,

And it was when Cynthia Cooper came back.

So she had retired and then she came back

and she only played, I think she got hurt,

I had heard, it's like
legend, I'd heard about it.

- So that was kind of when
it first got put on the map.

And I like to think
that my class, my year,

we were kind of the first
class that chose a college

that's going to help me
get ready for the WNBA?

A female's McDonald's
All-American Game then?

- Cause I didn't remember,
- [Sue] yeah no

all of the guys and the
girls that are gathering,

Like I was like, I do
not remember any females.

And then there was like
something else with the WBCA.

I don't think that
McDonald's came until like,
