Creativity and Affect | Self Improvement & Personal Growth ... - David

Creativity and Affect

The authors of this volume attempt to cohere the field of creativity and affect in a scholarly fashion by categorizing and characterizing some of its major features, including environmental influences; underlying processes; specific affective states; the role of atypical or pathological personalities; unconscious processes; physiological components; proactive and reactive stimuli; intrinsic motivation; eminence versus everyday creativity; and testing of assessing the affective component of creativity. The authors also examine and discuss the role that emotions, feelings and moods play in the creative process. This volume also provides a vehicle for students and psychotherapists, with which they can fully appreciate the feelings generated by the creative process and the various stages of it. How does a creator feel during its more mundane phases? Can he or she tolerate the frustration of failing and being unsuccessful most of the time? What is the real joy of achievement, success, and ultimate acceptance by ones peers in a given field? Do we have to exhibit major psychopathological features in order to achieve eminence in specific fields? What is the role of mind altering substances, mood disorders, and the like? This volume answers these questions and more. Author: Shaw, Melvin P./ Runco, Mark A./ Shaw, Melvin P.

Continental Coal commences production from Penumbra mine in South Africa

EBR Staff Writer Published 28 November 2012

South African thermal coal production, development and exploration company Continental Coal has achieved first thermal coal output from its Penumbra Coal Mine in the country.

Underground operations at the mine add to the two other operating thermal coal mines of the company.

Continental CEO Don Turvey said that first coal production from the Penumbra Coal Mine is a significant milestone for the company after 14 months under development.

"Penumbra will soon be making its first export thermal coal sales and generating its first cashflow," Turvey added.

"It is set to be a long-life and low-cost operation which should generate significant and sustainable returns for shareholders."

Hosting reserves of 5.4 million tons and resources of 68.3 million tons, the Penumbra mine is projected to generate 750,000 tons of ROM coal a year over an initial 10 year mine life at nearly $57 a ton.

Coal from the mine will be transported to the Richards Bay Coal Terminal by rail and sold under existing off-take agreements, with export sales scheduled for December 2012.

alphadogg writes "Dr. Joseph E. Murray, the Nobel laureate who conducted the world's first successful organ transplant, died Monday at the Boston hospital where the pioneering surgery was performed. He was 93. On Dec. 23, 1954, in Operating Room 2 of the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in Boston, Dr. Murray took the healthy kidney of Ronald Herrick and sutured it into the donor's dying identical twin, Richard. With that 5?-hour operation, Dr. Murray and his team saved a life, sparked an ethical debate that still echoes today, and opened medicine to a new frontier. Murray, who focused on plastic and reconstructive surgery for most of his career, was recognized with the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1990."

Moon rocks discovered in Minnesota, but more rocks missing

The Minnesota National Guard said it found some missing Apollo 11 moon?rocks. The discovery in Minnesota now leaves 11 states, including Massachusetts, Texas and Wisconsin, still missing their Apollo 11 moon?rocks.

The Minnesota National Guard said Monday it found a few small fragments of the moon's surface in storage in a state building in St. Paul. They'll be turned over to the state Historical Society on Wednesday.

The moon?rocks came from the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the moon. Some of the rocks, pebbles and dirt they collected have gone missing after U.S. states and territories and 135 countries each got tiny samples encased in plastic. Authentic moon?rocks are considered national treasures and can't legally be sold in the U.S.

RECOMMENDED: Are you scientifically literate? Take the quiz

Minnesota's moon?rocks disappeared sometime after then-President Richard Nixon gave them to the state, along with a state flag that was carried on the mission.

Joseph Gutheinz, a University of Phoenix instructor and former NASA investigator who leads an effort to find missing moon?rocks, said Minnesota's discovery leaves 11 states, including Massachusetts, Texas and Wisconsin, missing their Apollo 11 moon?rocks.

He said the lunar samples from the first moon landing command high sums on the black market, and some have been stolen or otherwise migrated away from the public domain.

"To a collector, it's invaluable," said Gutheinz, whose students have been looking for Minnesota's moon?rocks since 2002.

He added, "Somebody in the National Guard there decided to do the right thing and rather than walk off with something that had a great value on the black market, said, 'Hey, this doesn't belong to me.' "

The handoff to the Minnesota Historical Society will take place at an event with students at STARBASE Minnesota, a math and science program.

Villegas, Gainey share early lead at Disney

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) ? Camilo Villegas stopped getting angry with his golf game and started having more fun. The change of attitude paid off Thursday at Disney, and he can only hope it has come soon enough for him to keep his card.

Villegas ran off three straight birdies late in his round on the Palm Course for a 7-under 65, giving him a share of the early lead with Tommy Gainey in the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic, the final PGA Tour event of the year.

Disney is depleted of some of the top players, with only one from the top 50 in the world. Most of the attention ? and tension ? is toward the bottom of the money list.

Villegas is No. 150 on the list, a precarious place to be. Only the top 125 keep their full tour cards for next season, and if the Colombian were to fall out of the top 150, he would have to go to second stage of Q-school to try to get his card.

"Trust me, people remind you, 'Hey, you're 150th on the money list.' And I'm kind of like, 'Life is good. Just keep going.' If you're good at this game, if you're out, you'll be back in. Who knows? Just take it one shot at a time."

Gainey won three weeks ago at Sea Island by closing with a 60, and he's now 17 under in his last two rounds. He also played the Palm, which was 1.7 shots easier than the Magnolia, where the final two rounds are played. Gainey doesn't have much to gain this week, other than an additional year of being exempt. Even if he were to earn $846,000 for winning, it still wouldn't be enough to crack the top 30 and qualify for the Masters.

The group at 67 included Kevin Chappell, who is No. 123 on the money list and in jeopardy of going back to Q-school if three players pass him. Chappell, who played in the final group a year ago and tied for third, overcame an early bogey and was solid the rest of the way on the Palm.

"I feel like if you give me enough opportunities, which I've had, I've got to play well at least one week," Chappell said. "If it's the last week of the year, that's great."

Chappell is well aware of his standing on the money list, though he was doing his best to hit good shots and try to make putts. He changed coaches this year and was making decent progress until getting a six-week break when he failed to get past the first round of the FedEx Cup playoffs.

"I got engrossed with the golf swing, and when I came back to the fall finish, I was playing golf swing. I wasn't playing golf," Chappell said.

The first two days of Disney are a pro-am, and it's common for some players to ask to be paired with friends ? Mike Weir and Dean Wilson, Harris English and Brian Harman. A year ago, the tour put Luke Donald and Webb Simpson in the same group as they battled for the money title.

This year is a little different.

Rod Pampling is at No. 124 on the money list. He was paired with Billy Mayfair, who is at No. 125. Right behind them were Gary Christian and Alexandre Rocha, who are at No. 127 and No. 128 and right in the mix to keep their jobs.

Pampling opened with a 70 and Mayfair a 72. Christian and Rocha each had a 71.

"I was a bit surprised by that," Pampling said with a grin. "We're all grinding. ... You don't need the guys right behind you and next to you. But that's OK. Billy is easy to play with. And it's not going to change anything, anyway."

The biggest change belonged to Villegas.

He won back-to-back events in the FedEx Cup playoffs in 2008, going over $4.4 million in earnings and finishing the year at No. 7 in the world. He has fallen so far that Villegas didn't qualify for any of the majors this year and is No. 214 in the world.

At some point this year, he realized that he played golf for a living and figured it wasn't worth getting overly frustrated about his scores.

"The game comes and kind of bites us, and the last year and a half hasn't been pretty, I can tell you that," he said. "Even though I kept putting in the hours, sometimes it doesn't matter. You put those hours in and if you're not having fun, you're not going to get much out of it. So I've definitely changed a little bit the attitude. And, yes, I've been playing a lot better. ... I've had a great attitude the last few months and I've been really close."

The tough part will be going to the Magnolia course Friday, which didn't yield a score better than 68 among the early starters.
