I have always had a soft spot for industrial style interiors, which is evident in my endless pins of the style on Pinterest. The industrial style resembles a look similar to most old factories and industrial spaces, showcasing neutral tones, utilitarian objects, and wood/metal surfaces. The result: a 'warehouse look' that combines the industrial feel with other styles to create a more homely and inviting space, other than 'unfinished' like the appearance of most warehouses.
Many interior design enthusiasts incorporate the industrial style into their homes, highlighting it's popularity, through features such as stainless steel surfaces, metal light fixtures and vintage furniture, complemented by a neutral/one-tone colour scheme.
One of my favourite looks for the industrial style is exposed wire. To me, it is the embodiment of the industrial style design, along with stunning subway-style tiles or bare brick and mesh boards. Mesh mood-boards are commonly found in offices for a modern look, although I think they are best suited to an industrial style kitchen (see pictured) where pans, utensils and even herbs can be placed.
Industrial kitchen's are my favourite by a long mile. The use of blackboard paint and metal work perfectly well in creating the most gorgeous interior that will make everyone jealous. Exposed wire metal light fittings work a treat here, complementing the mismatched dining chairs (picture 3) and contrasting the brass (picture 2).
These industrial style living room's capture the industrial style beautifully by the use of exposed brick and light fixtures. The plain, one-tone colour scheme makes the room's feel like a warehouse, yet homely at the same time with the introduction of cushions, rugs and plants.
What's your favourite part of the industrial style?
Mesh is one of my favourite looks for the industrial style and it is so easy to replicate without breaking the bank and costing an arm and a leg. Mesh isn't the easiest of materials to locate, but a local art store (e.g. Hobbycraft), or building material supplier (Wickes), should have it in stock.
Once your mesh is acquired, the hardest part, all you have to do is pin it to the wall. This can be anywhere, from the kitchen, to your desk, to your bedroom – whatever your preference. A scroll through Pinterest highlights the popularity of the industrial style mesh moodboard above desks in offices and bedrooms, entwined with fairy-lights, motivational words and pictures – very Tumblr-esque and definitely Insta-worthy.
Tip: For a more bold look, you could paint the mesh black.

Koma Gandy to Helm Men's XVs Through Spring 2020
"Koma came back from Connacht Rugby inspired with ideas from Andy Friend and his coaching colleagues. She has been generous enough to give our club the extra commitment of leading the Men's XVs program this Spring, and then the Summer Sevens program to follow. This should put the program in great shape for a new head coach in the Fall of 2020, while generating momentum for our Sevens program this Summer."
John Greally, Director of Rugby
The Village Lions have formally named Koma Gandy Head Coach for the men's XVs program through Spring of 2020. Already part of the Lion's coaching set up as Men's 7s coach since 2017 and a player favorite, Koma recently spent two weeks embedded with the Connacht provincial coaching squad.
"I'm very excited to have the opportunity to work with the Lions 15's program," Koma shared. "This spring's trainings will be focused on building and executing on the fundamentals, and seeing how we use them to find success in our game play."
"We've seen what Koma can do with her work on the 7s program. Her experience speaks for itself and I'm excited to get to work playing for her"
Mike Tagliaferro, Captain
"Koma has been a tremendous asset to the Village Lions organization and it's only fitting that she steps into this role for the Men's 15s program," offered Lions' President, JP Lindsey. I'm excited to see how she will continue to push our program in the right direction and what new skills we can learn to take us to the next level."

Mobilizing for education: so that every child, boy or girl, has access to quality education as a fundamental human right and as a prerequisite for human development.
Building intercultural understanding: through protection of heritage and support for cultural diversity. UNESCO created the idea of World Heritage to protect sites of outstanding universal value.
Pursuing scientific cooperation: such as early warning systems for tsunamis or trans-boundary water management agreements, to strengthen ties between nations and societies.
Protecting freedom of expression: an essential condition for democracy, development and human dignity.
UNESCO is combined from the General Conference, which meets every two years, and is attended by Member States and Associate Members, together with observers for non-Member States, intergovernmental organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and from the Executive Board, which ensures the overall management of UNESCO. It prepares the work of the General Conference and sees that its decisions are properly carried out.
UNESCO is known as the "intellectual" agency of the United Nations. At a time when the world is looking for new ways to build peace and sustainable development, people must rely on the power of intelligence to innovate, expand their horizons and sustain the hope of a new humanism. UNESCO exists to bring this creative intelligence to life; for it is in the minds of men and women that the defenses of peace and the conditions for sustainable development must be built.

Falcons falling to Div. II...»
Koenig selected into NEO Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame
Nik Zirounis , The Town Crier
When Matt Koenig stepped down as Canfield's head baseball coach following the 2018 season he left behind an enormous legacy at the school.
Over thirteen seasons as bench boss, Koenig collected 242 wins. Ninety-four of those victories came in conference play as he won nearly two and a half times more than he lost. Canfield captured seven outright conference championships during Koenig's tenure. In 2011, the Cardinals reached the Regional Semifinals. One year later, the Koenig led club was Regional runner-up. The longtime coach's most shining moment happened in 2007 when Canfield claimed a Division II state crown. Thanks in part to those accomplishments, Koenig was honored as a selectee into the Northeast Ohio Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame class of 2019.
"I would like to congratulate all of this year's honorees," wrote NEOBCA secretary John Bakalar in a press release last week.
Koenig was joined in the hall by Bob Hagner of Mapleton, Bill Goddard of Wadsworth, Don Hertler of North Canton Hoover, Bob Neff of Canton McKinley, Don Ramer of Mayfield and Medina's Dale Wyegandt. The inductees were introduced between games one and two of the NEOBCA All Star game played this past Tuesday afternoon at Akron's Canal Park. There was a gathering afterwards for the select group at Barley House in downtown Akron. For Koenig, who is a five-year member of the NEOBCA, the induction gave him an incredible feeling.
"Anytime the words Hall of Fame are involved it makes you say wow," he mentioned over the phone a few days before the big event. "It's made me reflect on a lot of accomplishments. I've been a part (of the NEOBC) for some time. There are a lot of good guys (in the NEOBCA). It's growing."
The Canfield baseball program did its fair share of growing when Koenig took over the reins in 2006. His career with the Cardinals was one of the best runs for any coach. A big highlight was when the Cardinals corralled their 800th win in school history with Koenig in charge. Of course, the outcome the coach liked the best was the 8-6 win over Springfield Kenton Ridge in June of 2007 that gave Canfield its only baseball state title. That historic victory still runs through Koenig's mind on an almost daily basis.
"No doubt 2007 was the highlight of my career," he said. "It was extremely special. We all still talk a lot even though those kids have grown up and some have kids of their own. We have a special relationship."
Koenig's Cardinals made another charge towards state title glory five seasons later but were thwarted a couple of wins shy by the slimmest of margins.
"We almost made it to state in 2012 but we were eliminated (in the Regional finals) on a walk-off homer," Koenig said. "That was a huge disappointment and probably my hardest loss."
Although Koenig stepped away from the baseball team prior to the start of the 2019 campaign, it didn't mean he was totally eliminating himself from the program. He followed intently as Canfield ran roughshod over the All American Conference's Red Tier this season with an unbeaten league record. He was also cheering on the Cardinals and new head coach Gary Knittle as they advanced into the District finals.
"I'm still a huge fan and enjoyed watching them win this year," Koenig said.
Some may think retirement from coaching means Koenig has all the time in the world to hang out at the ball yard and watch the current crop of Cards compete. The former team leader insists that's not the case, however. He and his wife of 16 years, Susanne, have two girls, Mackenzie and Marina and one boy Cameron. All three Koenig kids keep Matt and Susanne hustling throughout the busy week.
"We have our hands full," Koenig said. "Our oldest daughter (Mackenzie) is going to be a freshman and all three kids play sports, so it was the right time to step down (from coaching). I still miss it though."
While Koenig may miss being as involved as he once was with Canfield baseball, the NEOBCA didn't miss the chance to include him in its hallowed Hall of Fame. It's doubtful that anyone in the Canfield baseball community would disagree with that organization's decision to enshrine him.

Vengeance of the Last Roman Legion: Book 1
Deep in the blackness of a long-forgotten crypt in rural France, an ancient and deadly nightmare has awakened. Its prey is already long dead.
But it will not be denied the revenge for which it has waited two thousand years.
In AD 9, during the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus, three legions were trapped and cruelly massacred in the Teutoberg Forest by an army of brutal and deadly German tribes led by a traitor named Arminius. Of the twenty thousand legionaries, civilian men, women, and children, only a few hundred survived.
Centurion Lucius Cassius Aquilius, the senior surviving officer returned to Rome filled with a lust for vengeance.
With the help of an aged alchemist, Lucius leads an elite Roman legion of nearly five thousand men into a cold and sealed crypt, waiting for the day they would emerge to find and kill their enemies.
But they have overslept. The year is 2021, more than two thousand years since the Teutoberg Massacre. The world has changed into something that Legatus Lucius Cassius Aquilius and his loyal legionaries cannot comprehend. But their cause has not died.
They will still march into Germania to seek their long-awaited vengeance.
Meanwhile in Brussels, a NATO legal investigator named Alex Braden begins to uncover a series of strange and fatal events in France and Belgium. At first, he is at a loss to explain them as they lead to an inescapable solution. But it is a solution that is totally impossible.
A living Roman legion has arisen from the past, marching into modern-day Germany. The greatest and most dangerous army history has ever known is out for revenge.
And no one knows they are coming.

To mark Quality Plumber Week (1-7 October), The Association of Plumbing & Heating Contractors (APHC) is calling for the industry to debate the pros and cons of introducing a single mandatory plumbing license.
John Thompson, Chief Executive of the APHC, said: "Having a license to practice is currently a hot topic, which requires industry debate and scrutiny, as there are widely differing opinions on the subject.
The industry can get involved with this debate by attending a free regional workshop, details of which can found on the APHC's website. The launch workshop, on 2 October in Leicester, also includes APHC supplier members and companies exhibiting, including Altecnic, BPEC, Gti Direct, Monument Tools, Simpro Software, Spirotech, and Testo.
"It's not too late to attend a workshop, but you need to be quick. Failing that we will be hosting a seminar at PHEX Manchester on 17 October," said John.
The APHC would also like to see plumbing and heating contractors post photographs of their work on social media using the hashtag #QPW18. John said: "We'll be giving away prizes for photos of work posted on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and I know that Polypipe are running their own competition.

Marquette to retire Wade's #3 Saturday
January 30, 2007 By WRN Contributor
Marquette University says it will retire Dwyane Wade's jersey #3 during a halftime ceremony of this Saturday's game against Providence at the Bradley Center.
Wade played for the Golden Eagles from 2001 to 2003, helping them to a 53-13 record and two NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the Final Four in 2003.
The Miami Heat made Wade the 5th overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft.

We're excited to introduce another terrific four letter brand. Jyju has all the characteristics of a perfect brand - it's easy to pronounce, spell and remember! Your users will love JYJU.
Comes with the premium domain name JYJU.com and logo.


Are you failing to make a good impression in the workplace? Do you need to get ahead at work? We have just the advice you need! Follow these funny, yet undeniably useful office rules and you will soon see results.
These office rules are humorous and not to be taken too seriously; however, some office rules go that one step too far. Check out these crazy but very real office rules that have made employees (and managers alike) cringe! If you have ever used one of these excuses to take time off work - let us know about it!
Never walk casually from one room or desk to the other - this just looks like you are skiving off work. You need to look purposeful, so others believe you have reason to get up and move away from your desk. In reality, you could just be off to the smoking room, but if you walk there like you mean it, people will never suspect!
This is important, even if you are a neat freak at home - you need a messy desk and cubicle at work. A messy desk implies you have work piled up to your eyeballs and are inundated with tasks to get through. Therefore no-one will want to bother you! Some people might argue that it is good office etiquette to have a tidy desk, but they are just looking for more work.
This is a legendary tactic to look important and busy at work. For all your colleagues know, you could be carrying around blank papers! Remember, walk briskly, with an irritated look on your face, and carry a few documents with you, and you will most definitely look the part!
Want to look like you're a workaholic and take your job seriously? Just set your alarm at home for some insane hour, get up, email work with something (anything work related in fact), and bingo -you look like you have been up all night slaving away at work projects while everyone else is fast asleep in bed!
Never dare make yourself a drink without also offering the boss one too. You don't need to offer the rest of the rabble a beverage, but if you want to get noticed by important people - make sure you keep their coffee cups filled!
No, Jargon is not a person, it's the irritating, nonsensical catch phrases and words that only those in the industry understand. Why say it like it is when you can talk in useless code? Well, if you want to get ahead you will have to overcome your hatred for jargon and learn it!
You should try to leave the office at least 10 minutes after you're 'allowed' to leave. It shows that you are not running out the door soon as the clock strikes 5pm!

Ashtoreth - Rites I & II
drone / dark ambient
Rites I&II by ASHTORETH
Cyclic Law
Slowly but certainly, Peter Verwimp is becoming the forerunner for the new wave of Antwerp ambient. Throughout the years I have seen him perform his enigmatic guitar drones and soundscapes numerous times. From petite venues and living rooms to forests and stages everywhere, Ashtoreth manages to turn everything into a place for rituals and meditation.
I think it was only a matter of time before a quality label like Cyclic Law would become interested in this shamanic approach to ambient. With 'Rites I & II', the first installment of a series, Ashtoreth delivers a long ceremony and a deep meditation.
'Rite I: Earth' opens with heavy guitars and powerful vocals. When I heard these for the first time, I wasn't sure if I was listening to Ashtoreth or to an intro for a Conan album. This is a somewhat different approach from the slowly in-fading soundscapes. But mostly, it immediately grabs the listener's attention for its brutalist approach. Gradually, however, the track evolves. The distortion fades away and other soundscapes appear. They sound like the breathing of the earth. Then, hints of melody appear, in perfect Ashtoreth tradition. In a way, this first track feels like a journey from something bad and scary to a feeling of piece of serenity.
'Rite II: Fire' is somewhat shorter but still long enough to be a narrative drone ambient highlight. It drives on gloomy drones and shamanic voices, a bit like we're used from Peter Verwimp by now, but let that not be a turn-off. This track is downright eerie, a perfect addition to the heaps of dark ambient masterpieces released by Cyclic Law. So yes, this is a stunning piece of work and it comes with equally stunning artwork by GootSlaper. I don't think this needs much more explanation. 'Rites I & II' is one of those albums that deserve a spot in your ever widening and mind-altering collection.
p.s. It's also wildly inspiring music for writers. I know from experience...


You've probably heard the Parable of the Sower, and that we're called to make our hearts good soil, ready to receive God's Word. But what about our call to be sowers, to be people who plant the seeds of the Gospel? Y2AM has a special challenge for you this Advent: are you ready to #BeTheSower?

Contemporary Arts
Baltic Triennial
Estonia 100 art programme
13th Baltic Triennial is curated by Vincent Honoré
Center for Contemporary Arts, Estonia, kim? Riga and the Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius, is pleased to announce Vincent Honoré as the new curator for the 13th Baltic Triennial in 2018, currently under the working title Give Up the Ghost.
Honoré is a London-based writer and curator as well as the founding director of DRAF (David Roberts Art Foundation), which he conceived as a factory of prototypes structured around research, production and performativity in 2008. Previously, he worked as a curator at Tate Modern in London between 2004 to 2007 where he developed exhibitions and projects with Pierre Huyghe, Jeff Wall, Louise Bourgeois, Hans Haacke and Catherine Sullivan, among others. Prior to this, he worked in the curatorial department at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris during its opening years from 2001 to 2004.
Established in 1979, the Baltic Triennial is a periodic exhibition of young Baltic artists, often expressing non-conformist attitudes, that has steadily grown to become a major international exhibition in all of Northern Europe. Marking a centenary for the Restoration of Independence of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, the 13th edition will be jointly organised for the first time by CAC Vilnius, CCA Tallinn and kim? Riga, and will take place across all three respective countries over the course of 2018.
In response to his appointment, Vincent Honoré commented that: "The Baltic Triennial is one of the most experimental events of its kind. I am thrilled to be selected as curator for its 13th edition, and eager to start a collective research that will deal with infiltrations, displacements and hybridisations as valid forms of production. I expect the Triennial to be a place of disorder, exploring definitions and identities through action."
The selection committee consisted of Kęstutis Kuizinas, director of the Contemporary Art Centre (CAC) in Vilnius, Lithuania; Maria Arusoo, director of the Center for Contemporary Arts (CCA) in Tallinn, Estonia; and Zane Onckule, programme director of kim? Contemporary Art Centre in Riga, Latvia.

Q: multi-target .NET Core project - error referencing types in other assemblies I have a couple of referencing errors in Dna.Net.Core.Smtp project:

What's wrong with this picture?


The HTC One and HTC One Mini users in Canada will now get to taste the KitKat flavor in their devices very soon, as the KitKat version of OS is sent for the certification and all the six network providers in Canada have begun testing the OS update – Bell, Rogers TELUS, Virgin Mobile, Wind and SaskTel. Out of these, Rogers has already started the certification of the Android 4.4 update for the HTC One Mini.
As the testing has already started, the certification too won't take long and we will be seeing the actual rollout of the Android KitKat update to these devices very soon, and that could be in a week or two. The providers in the US were faster in sending the updates to the HTC One users, and we expect the network providers in Canada to take around the same time to send the update to the users. Once the certification is done, the roll out of the KitKat OS will be done via the Over-the-air option, and as the company had earlier said, the HTC One would be the first device from the company to receive the update, thus the HTC One Mini users might still have to wait for at least a week more, after the HTC One update is rolled out.
The Android 4.4 update for both the devices will have the latest version of HTC Sense, i.e. version 5.5 which is said to be having a lot of improvements from the previous version, and this includes bug fixes, enhancements to the Blinkfeed and the Video highlights. We will be able to confirm the actual change log and list of features updated in the new OS version when it is pushed out to the devices after the certification is done.
For now, you can check the HTC Canada page to check out the live status of the update for the HTC One through the different network providers.

This slot brings together thrilling gameplay, great sound effects and fantastic graphics to provide players with a very well-rounded casino experience. Thanks to a number https://finnebrogue-wheel.bhc-stage.co.uk/?p=53708 of exciting in-game features, spinning Gonzo's Quest feels like a rewarding experience for many players, old and new alike. Despite its age, this game remains a very popular slot, with a lot to offer its players. When enjoying time on online slots; please play responsibly.
Experienced slots players will be familiar with the term RTP.
Another feature that sets Gonzo's apart from the rest is the Free Fall symbol.
The Gonzo's Quest Megaways slot is the Megaways version of the iconic Gonzo's Quest slot which was released by NetEnt back in 2012.
20 fixed paylines are present, and you can take advantage of a nifty autoplay option if you don't want to sit manually spinning for hours on end.
Join Gonzo and escape into the Mayan jungle on the adventure of a lifetime with this remake of the classic slot game.
After looking into the game, it becomes obvious that the Gonzo's Quest Megaways slot is a truly impressive successor to one of the most successful, most popular slot games ever released.
Now you have more reason to focus much on appreciating the smooth animation going on in the screen, especially the leveling up of the multiplier meter. On the other hand, the RTP of 96 % means that there are games better for the player, however, this value can be considered an average and it's nothing to frown upon. As I already mentioned, some players would welcome additional bonus features, as the game can become a bit boring after some time. There are 5 "reels" with 3 symbols each and the number of winlines is 20. You can't choose the number of active winlines, it always remains "locked" at 20.
Gonzos Quest Faq
Every avalanche additionally will increase the multiplier by one. This successful multiplier retains rising with every successive avalanche as much as a most of 5x. A non-winning spin will reset the multiplier, and also you'll land extra avalanche wins to extend it once more. At the top corner of the screen, you will see an Avalanche Meter. Whenever you get a winning combination, the Avalanche Multipliers feature is triggered.
Gonzo's Quest Megaways Faq
Gonzo's Quest – Scatter and WildJust like all slots games, Gonzo's Quest is loaded with features and the standard wild symbol. The wilds can replace other symbols to create winning combinations. However, players will find the Free Fall symbols which can unlock 10 Free Falls when at least three symbols are displayed on the reels. When you press the spin button for each bet, instead of the reels spinning as they do in most online slot games, new symbols fall from above. If no winning combination occurs, try again and hope for better luck.
He's written more words on all elements of iGaming than he likes to remember, and he's contributed material to a number of well-known brands. Joe may be seen playing 5 a side, at the gym or playing games on his Playstation when he is not writing. The gambler wins frequently but with the low payout on the bet placed. There are different categories of slot volatility in the gaming world. Again, the NetEnt team understands the importance of attaching games with a jackpot as one most excellent marketing tools.
Gonzos Quest Slot: How To Play
With impeccable graphics and spectacular animations, thrilling spinning actions are guaranteed especially when you trigger the game's bonuses. Another feature that sets Gonzo's apart from the rest is the Free Fall symbol. The free falls feature is triggered when a reel is filled with at least 3 scatter symbols. Once this happens, the player is awarded bonus games with 10 free falls, which is the same as 10 re-spins. During the bonus round, more free falls can be won by landing the reels on more free fall symbols.
This wheel gives you the chance to earn more free spins, but the chance that you end with fewer spins is greater. It depends on how much risk you want to take, but rationally you can better accept the free spins. During the free spins you have a chance to win big prizes because the multiplier now has values of x3, x6, x9 and x15. The multiplier that is active at the end of the free spins will be taken back to the base game.

Popper (1974/2005) on creativity and problem-solving
Popper on creativity – and problem-solving
Sir Karl Popper makes some remarkably useful comments on creativity and problem-solving in his fascinating and inspiring ([1974] 2005) autobiography:
Unended Quest – An Intellectual Autobiography (Popper 1974 / 2005)
In Chapter 10, Popper (2005) notes:
`"A hungry animal divides the environment into edible and inedible things. An animal in flight sees roads of escape and hiding places."…
…critical thinking may consist not only in a rejection of any particular trial or conjecture, but also in a rejection of what may be described as a deeper conjecture—the assumption of the range of "all possible trials".
This, I suggest, is what happens in many cases of "creative" thinking.
What characterizes creative thinking, apart from the intensity of the interest in the problem, seems to me often the ability to break through the limits of the range—or to vary the range— from which a less creative thinker selects his trials.
This ability, which clearly is a critical ability, may be described as critical imagination.
It is often the result of culture clash, that is, a clash between ideas, or frameworks of ideas. Such a clash may help us to break through the ordinary bounds of our imagination.'
(Popper 2005, pp. 49-50)
He then goes on to say:
`…it seems to me that what is essential to "creative" or "inventive" thinking is a combination of intense interest in some problem (and thus a readiness to try again and again) with highly critical thinking; with a readiness to attack even those presuppositions which for less critical thought determine the limits of the range from which trials (conjectures) are selected; with an imaginative freedom that allows us to see so far unsuspected sources of error: possible prejudices in need of critical examination.'
(Popper 2005, p. 50)
Popper also makes interesting remarks in Chapter 11 on Music:
`…to return to objective music. Without asking a what-is? question, let us look at Bach's Inventions, and his own somewhat longish title page, in which he makes it clear that he has written for people wanting to play the piano. They will, he assures them, learn "how to play with two and three parts clearly . . . and in a melodious way"; and they will be stimulated to be inventive, and so "incidentally get a first taste of composition".
Here music is to be learned from examples. The musician is to grow up in Bach's workshop, as it were. He learns a discipline, but he is also encouraged to use his own musical ideas and he is shown how they can be worked out clearly and skilfully. His ideas may develop, no doubt. Through work the musician may, like a scientist, learn by trial and error.
And with the growth of his work his musical judgement and taste may also grow—and perhaps even his creative imagination. But this growth will depend on effort, industry, dedication to his work; on sensitivity to the work of others, and on self-criticism. There will be a constant give-and-take between the artist and his work rather than a one-sided "give"—a mere expression of his personality in his work. From what I have said it should be clear that I am far from suggesting that great music, and great art in general, may not have a deep emotional impact.'
So the above talks about systems theory, and self-correcting feedback loops. The learning process itself can also be seen as a systems-cybernetic process. Lovelock (1995) states:
"The attainment of any skill, whether it be in cooking, painting, writing, talking or playing tennis, is all a matter of cybernetics. We aim at doing our best and making as few mistakes as possible; we compare our efforts with this goal and learn by experience; and we polish and refine our performance by constant endeavour until we are satisfied that we are as near to optimum achievement as we can ever reach. This process is well called learning by trial and error."
(Lovelock 1995, p. 47).
Which all points toward creativity as the consilient bridge between Science and the Arts. Namely creativity works the same way, in science and the arts.
Popper then goes on to dismiss the Romantic view of creativity,
`The relation between music and the human emotions can be viewed in a number of very different ways.
One of the earliest and most seminal theories is the theory of divine inspiration which manifests itself in the divine madness or divine frenzy of the poet or musician: the artist is possessed by a spirit, though by a benign spirit rather than an evil one. A classical formulation of this view can be found in Plato's Ion…
…It should be noted that in developing these views Plato is far from serious: he speaks with his tongue in his cheek.'
(Popper 2005, pp 70-1)
Before reading Popper's autobiography I was under the (mistaken) impression that he did not really understand creativity, and how it works. (Based on a remark he made much earlier in his intellectual career, about creativity being a mystery, in his first book The Logic of Scientific Discovery, 1934. But look what happened – how his view matured and changed – once he started investigating creativity!)
A great paper on it, for example is this one:
Naraniecki, A. (2016). Karl Popper on the Unknown Logic of Artistic Production and Creative Discovery, Culture and Dialogue, 4(2), 263–282. doi: https://doi.org/10.1163/24683949-12340015
A quote I like from the above article is:
`Popper's fame during his life was a result of his tireless work in political and scientific philosophy, however, a central concern which runs through all of his work is that of creativity. Artistic creation, particularly musicology was also a major interest of his and one which greatly informed his scientific studies.
Bryan Magee stated in Popper that, "If Popper is right, there are not two cultures – one scientific and the other aesthetic, or one rational and the other irrational – but one." (8)
This article supports Magee's observation by drawing out the common arguments concerning the process of creative discovery that run through his scientific and lesser known aesthetics.
This unity was owing to an underlying anthropology that he referred to as "evolutionary epistemology." Central to this for Popper was the view that a defining evolutionary characteristic of life was that it searches, and does so adventurously.
(Naraniecki 2016, p. 267)
Likewise – after reading more Popper, I came to see his Evolutionary Epistemology is in fact how creativity works. Csikszentmihalyi (brilliantly) uses systems theory to explain the same process of creativity, or cultural evolution.
As it turns out, Csikszentmihalyi's dad and Popper also used to go mountain-climbing together, back in the day. …Fascinating stuff! Well; if you like – and are fascinated by – that sort of thing. Namely: creativity.
Anyway if this is of interest, maybe see my article on it in The Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology (2017).
Popper on universal creativity
Popper and the creative "problem-solution" schema
In his 1974 / 2005 autobiography, Popper also says that art is about all problem-finding and problem-solving::
`The musician may make it his problem to depict emotions and to move us to sympathy, as in the St Matthew Passion; but there are many other problems he tries to solve. (This is obvious in such an art as architecture, where there are always practical and technical problems to be solved.)
In writing a fugue the composer's problem is to find an interesting subject and a contrasting counterpoint, and then to exploit this material as well as he can. What leads him may be a trained sense of general fittingness or "balance". The result may still be moving; but our appreciation may be based on the sense of fittingness—of a cosmos emerging from near chaos—rather than on any depicted emotion.
The same may be said of some of Bach's Inventions, whose problem was to give the student a first taste of composition, of musical problem solving.
Similarly, the task of writing a minuet or a trio poses a definite problem for the musician; and the problem may be made more specific by the demand that it should fit into a certain half-completed suite.
To see the musician as struggling to solve musical problems is of course very different from seeing him engaged in expressing his emotions (which, trivially, nobody can avoid doing).'
(Popper 2005, pp. 74-5)
What is striking about all this, is noting that Popper was talking about the problem-solution schema for art (all art, including music, painting, or whatever) back in 1974.
Also – this (terrific) book came out in 1976
Csikszentmihalyi, M., & Getzels, J. W. (1976). The Creative Vision: A Longitudinal Study of Problem-Finding in Art. New York: John Wiley and Sons.
One is also reminded of David Bordwell's and also Brian Boyd's (brilliant) uses of the problem-solution schema in looking at cinema (movies) and literature (e.g. in Film Poetics (2008), and On The Origin of Stories, 2008)
And also of how Stanley Kubrick talks about "the [creative!] problems" in making his movies.
In short, it appears that Popper is just as important as E O Wilson's Consilience (1998) in solving the Two Cultures Problem.

But in short, if looked at in the right way: All creativity is problem-solving.

Here's your chance (once again) to catch up on some of the best X-Men stories of all time. Marvel Comics has just announced the X-Men Milestone series.
The current state of the X-Men sub-universe within the Marvel U might be… a bit up for debate. It's been hit and miss since the dawn of the Blue and Gold books. Now that Uncanny is back though, there's a bit of hope. And honestly, it's good to see Marvel's merry mutants back in any form.
For too long they were almost an afterthought really. Yep, once the biggest and most popular characters in the Marvel U, the X-Men were almost non-existent. I'm not going to get into the (supposed) reasons for that (Google it), but now they're back. There's even a big crossover event hitting in February with Age of X-Man.
Botton line – what's happening right now may or may not be to your taste as a fan. Chances are though, this new series of graphic novels will be. Simply put, these are classics. Marvel's just announced new line of X-Men graphic novels all feature triple-A stories.
The Dark Phoenix Saga, Mutant Massacre, and Fall of the Mutants are the initial wave. Release dates? Actually there weren't any in the press release, but I'd expect them soon. Oh, and then expect more, as Marvel also says that additional volumes are on the way.
