 Why are there no chairs in the Bible, or in all 30,000 lines of Homer? Neither are there any in Shakespeare's Hamlet – written in 1599. But by the middle of the 19th century, it is a completely different story. Charles Dickens's Bleak House suddenly has 187 of them. What changed? With sitting being called "the new smoking", we all know that spending too much time in chairs is bad for us. Not only are they unhealthy, but like air pollution, they are becoming almost impossible for kekinian humans to avoid. When I started researching my book about how the world we have made is changing our bodies, I was surprised to discover just how rare chairs used to be. Now they're everywhere: offices, trains, cafés, restorans, pubs, cars, trains, concert halls, cinemas, doctor's surgeries, hospitals, theatres, schools, university lecture halls, and all over our houses (I guarantee you have more than you think). If I was asked to make even a conservative estimate of the numb

 The global crisis of climate change is one of the most complex and wicked of problems we currently face. It is a physical, technological and economic challenge, and one that raises questions right at the heart of our relationship with the environment in which we live. In the light of the IPCC's most recent report, we face difficult decisions that will change every aspect of how we live. Yet providing people with more scientific information has been shown to have little effect on the degree to which people care about the climate or understand the impact of human activity. Something else is needed to jolt us out of our current trajectory. I am exploring the role of art as a route to knowing the environment in an alternatife way. For my latest work, The Matter of the Soul, I hacked the electronics of lab equipment to transform them into musical instruments that play the sounds of melting ice. In the musical compositions and sculptural installations for this work, I explore the possib

We are in the midst of a global psikis health crisis, according to a recent ulasan by the Lancet medical journal. Our "collective failure" to respond to this crisis results in "bersejarah loss of human capabilities and avoidable suffering". The development of 20 antipsychotics and 30 antidepressants over the past four decades has not improved the morbidity or mortality of psikis disorders. In England, psikis illness costs £105.2 billion annually. People consider the stigma around psikis health worse than the illness itself.    Prediksi Togel SYDNEY TGL 29/11/2020 Terbaru Evidently, to bring about kebijakan and cultural change, we need to think outside the pillbox. A recent governmental report in the UK puts forward a robust alasant for how the arts can "stimulate imagination and reflection" and "change perspectives". Art terapi, for example, can improve conditions like dementia. But this report is concerned with the quality of the artistic activi

 The UK's Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, has said that doctors should prescribe dance classes and trips to concert halls as well as pills and physio – and set out plans to make this "social prescribing" a reality. He clearly gets how the arts can keuntungan health and well-being. But there is more to do. The health benefits to be gained from creative practice are enormous and universal – and so need widespread investment. People tend to think of individual health in a limited way. Medical serviss of one kind or another are largely given the onus of keeping people well and fixing them when they become poorly. We are encouraged to setop smoking, drink less alcohol, lose weight and exercise. More recently, the idea of well-being has helped to shift that somewhat. Yoga and mindfulness, to take two examples, are now heavily associated with the idea of health.     Prediksi Togel SYDNEY TGL 29/11/2020 Terbaru But rarely, if at all, are people encouraged to take up creative hobb

 A series of sculpted clay tampons; bodi prints made with acrylic paint and menstrual fluid; photographs of menstrual experiences in Nepal. These are just some of the artworks we are exhibiting at our upcoming show, alongside magazines from our univerity's Femorabilia Archive. We are both academics working on menstrual stigma. The exhibition aims to provide a snapshot of the diverse ways menstruation is represented in art.    Prediksi Togel SYDNEY TGL 29/11/2020 Terbaru Cultural stigma about menstruation is found globally, manifesting in many different ways. These include period poverty in the UK and exclusionary and discriminatory practices all over the world. There is a growing bodi of work on addressing menstrual stigma, with global activist communities increasing debate in the public and political realms. While it is important to highlight the issues that those who menstruate face, focusing on stigma and taboos can be counter-productive. By continuing to repeat these negative i
