In the key of genius

 

Derek Paravicini and Adam Ockelford: In the key of genius

Born three and a half months prematurely, Derek Paravicini is blind and has severe autism. But with perfect pitch, innate talent and a lot of practice, he became an acclaimed concert pianist by the age of 10. Here, his longtime piano teacher, Adam Ockelford, explains his student’s unique relationship to music, while Paravicini shows how he has ripped up the "Chopsticks" rule book. (Filmed at TEDxWarwick.)  

A beautiful talk and performance.

City2.0 and Food

Cities have experienced an explosion of interest in food justice all over the world in the last few years alone. We're thinking more urgently and more intentionally about how our food is grown, shipped, prepared, and shared than ever before.

The Farming Technique That Could Revolutionize the Way We Eat
 Aquaponics is a method of combined fish and vegetable farming that requires no soil. The farmer cultivates freshwater fish (aquaculture) and plants (hydroponics) in a recirculating water system that exchanges nutrients between the two.
