Hillary Clinton's coronation is already devolving into chaos.

Adam Savage makes things and builds experiments, and he uses costumes to add humor, color and clarity to the stories he tells. Tracing his lifelong love of costumes -- from a childhood space helmet made of an ice cream tub to a No-Face costume he wore to Comic-Con -- Savage explores the world of cosplay and the meaning it creates for its community. "We're connecting with something important inside of us," he says. "The costumes are how we reveal ourselves to each other."
For all of my nerdy friends all over the globe, here’s something interesting for you :)
What draws people to terrorism? What propels them to commit mass murder? This week, we explore why some young people are attracted to terrorism.
"The strategy of the Islamic state is quite simple and very well spelled out, and it is, first of all, take advantage wherever there is chaos in the world, create chaos wherever the enemy allows us to do....Second, we will appeal to the youth, the rebelliousness, the idealism, the adventure, the search for glory, the desire for change that the youth have...We will offer them something great." GREAT PODCAST!!! Take some time and learn what's really going on in our world. ISIS is not recruiting in mosques, but rather in universities, appealing to the outcast and those looking for a cause greater than themselves.
Ann Morgan considered herself well read -- until she discovered the "massive blindspot" on her bookshelf. Amid a multitude of English and American authors, there were very few books from beyond the English-speaking world. So she set an ambitious goal: to read one book from every country in the world over the course of a year. Now she's urging other Anglophiles to read translated works so that publishers will work harder to bring foreign literary gems back to their shores. Explore interactive maps of her reading journey here: go.ted.com/readtheworld
This will be my video of the week for my students. It is a very interesting video and kept my attention until the very end. Thank to Ann Morgan, I will be expanding the diversity among my book shelves.
In the past 18 months, I've lived in over 9 countries. All of these trips have been with me, myself, and I. Here's 32 lessons I learned traveling alone.
There is so much excitement in traveling.
Pratik Kelime Listesi & Useful Word List
Hepimiz bazı zamanlarda sıkıntı çekmişizdir hislerimizi -ana dilde de olsa- açıklamaya çalışırken, duygu durumumuzu tamamen ifade edemediğimizi sezmişizdir ve bu sebepten içimiz içimizi kemirmiştir.
Peki hislerinizi tam olarak ifade edip edemeyişinizin, yaşamda ne kadar da belirleyici etkileri olabileceğini hiç düşündünüz mü? Dil olmadan düşünce, düşünce olmadan dil olmaz. Kelime haznemizi genişletelim; dilimizin sınırlarını genişleterek dünyamızın sınırlarını genişletebiliriz.
I think it is a common feeling for every human that sometimes we are not able to transfer some of our emotions and thoughts to our friends or family in a perfect way. We may feel very uncomfortable about this feeling; the lack of communication. However, communication with people makes very big differences in our lives.
“We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.” as A. P. J. Abdul Kalam says. Now I share a list about feelings to make us more comfortable in relationships. Thought comes before language or thought and language are interdependent processes? Whichever you believe, you should expand your vocabulary. Then the limits of your language also expands limits of your world!

YES! Teaching synonyms in my conversational English classes is one of my favorite things to do!
when you try to grasp a new grammatical concept in a foreign language that doesn’t exist in your native one
Today at my Linguistics Society meeting we had a professor who does language documentation give a presentation on Copala Triqui and Oaxaca, two indigenous Mexican languages for which he builds dictionaries…and lemme tell you man
The Oaxacan dialect he’s documented has five different verbs for wearing things on the body, and Copala Triqui has seven. But the neatest and most mind-melding part was how not all of these verbs made the person wearing the thing the subject. Some would make the person the grammatical subject, some would make the thing worn the subject, and two Oaxacan verbs would make the body part on which the thing was worn the subject. So the sentence “Juan forgot to wear a hat” cannot be said anywhere approaching literally in Oaxacan because the verb for “wearing a hat” takes “hat” as the subject and “forget” requires an agent capable of forgetting, i.e. Juan, as a subject. Thus it’s grammatically impossible. And in Copala Triqui, things like how tight a piece of clothing is, whether the clothing item is traditionally worn at the part of the body you’re describing (i.e. a shirt on the torso or a shirt on the legs), which part of the body it was worn on, etc. determines the verb used to describe the wearing.
Best part of the presentation: “Basically, the closest gloss we have for this sentence is, ‘My legs are at pants.’”
This is excellent
Language is beautiful, yet confusing,.

All I can think of when I see this is the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. I recommend this book SO much!! When I started reading the first book, I was like “ugh, another vampire romance novel” but OMG I was SO wrong! By the halfway point in the first book, I was hooked and couldn’t wait to finish the trilogy. If you’re a fan of witches, vampires, time travel, and historical fiction, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU! 9/10 will read again.
