Agradeço ao Alexson pelo envio do encarte e Bom Domingo a Todos, de preferência ao som de "Crazy in Love".
Version 2.0 extraiu diversos singles, dentre eles "Push it" que foi nomeada na categoria Melhor Gravação Alternativa no Winter Music Conference, "I Think I'm Paranoid" e "Special", que foi um dos maiores sucessos do Garbage, sendo nomeada no Grammy nas categorias Melhor Canção de Rock e Melhor Canção de Rock por Grupo ou Dueto. Version 2.0 também foi indicado ao Grammy por Álbum do Ano e Melhor Album de Rock. Como podem perceber, a formula 2.0 foi perfeita e o Garbage acertou em cheio, superando o seu disco de estréia.
Agradeço ao leitor Olegas x que também havia pedido esse encarte. Ofereço ao meu colega de turma Arthur, que é um grande admirador da banda!
We asked a few of our students to think of things they'd like to ask our new CEO Johanna Frelin. Check it out!
What's your goal for Hyper Island in 5 years?
I want to build a stable, sustainable company that lives up to our vision “World Leading, Lifelong Learning”. Build to Grow – is my mission. I think we will have developed both our programs and courses in Sweden and abroad as well as our worldwide network (speakers, coworkers, students, alumnis) will bit by bit change the world.
What's the most valuable thing learned from SVT that will not be viable at Hyper Island?
Here are a couple of things (I can´t choose):
-How to produce a TV show aimed for 11 year olds.
-To be head of a huge organization with 600 coworkers.
-How to be a political lobbyist.
-Age Management.
If Hyper Island was a movie - what movie would it be?
Warm, funny and dramatic at the same time, where people go to learn odd things, scary, with lives at stake. It must be Harry Potter.
What's your favorite color?
Black!
Who would play your part in a movie about your life?
Julianne Moore - she can play anybody and is both serious and charming at the same time ;)
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Horseback riding, skiing, boating, travelling and being with my kids and friends doing all those things above.
What's your favorite bar?
The Bar of Låktatjokko – in the middle of nowhere close to the Norweigan border far up north, you can only go there by ski or scooter (Between Björkliden and Riksgränsen).
Are there going to be more Hyper Island parties now that you're onboard?
Haha! Like you need a CEO to arrange parties….
April Fools: We got great response and many actually thought it seemed like a great idea. Maybe it'll be reality one day!
Read the press release.
The Hyper Island Kindergarten will aim to prepare children from the age of 5 for the later challenges of elementary school and beyond.
The strong focus on collaboration, group-dynamics and learning-by-doing is the core of Hyper Island’s methodology and the kindergarten will follow this tradition. The Hyper Island Kindergarten will have a strong emphasis on the learning-by-failing aspect of Hyper Island’s methodology as research has proven it to be at the core of children’s personal development.
The kindergarten will open next year, when Hyper Island is also planning to open a high school. The location and more information will follow as it develops. Stay tuned!
A reminder: Today is the last application date for International applicants. Nordic applicants have two more weeks until April 15.
Apply on our programs site. Good luck!
