“You’re so talented!”, “You are gifted – a natural!”, “You’re doing so well in school, you must be really smart!” – children receive these messages (or their negative counterparts), along with many other messages on a daily basis from their peers, parents and teachers. Are these just words or do they mean more? How are children affected by the words we use to praise, coach and criticize them?

Meet Stanford University’s Professor Dr. Carol S. Dweck to learn more about her fascinating research into “self-conceptions (or mindsets) people use to structure the self and guide their behavior”, and how you can apply a Growth Mindset at home, at school and in your career.

Sir Ian McKellen & Laura Linney stop by Google NYC to chat about their latest movie Mr. Holmes directed by Bill Condon, which opens Friday July 17th, 2015. Moderated by Alan Seales.

Long-retired and near the end of his life, Sherlock Holmes (Ian McKellen) grapples with an unreliable memory and must rely on his housekeeper’s son as he revisits the still-unsolved case that led to his retirement.

“In New York in a Dozen Dishes, longtime restaurant critic Robert Sietsema (currently, ny.eater.com) offers a gastronomic portrait of the city through the lens of 13 dishes. Some, like fried chicken and pizza, are well-known and universally consumed. Others, like cuy (South American guinea pig) and Pakistani goat brains, are more challenging and obscure. Each dish is described by means of anecdote, historical fact, and personal history. The book also contains recommendations for where to find the best examples of these dishes in the city and surrounding areas, and a recipe that would allow you to make each dish – though it’s really easier just to eat them in restaurants.
Robert Sietsema was born in Michigan; grew up in Chicago, Minneapolis, and Dallas; went to college in Austin and grad school in Madison, Wisconsin, before discovering that he always belonged in New York. He’s worked for Gourmet and the New York Times, is married, lives in Greenwich Village, and has a daughter.”

When artist Salvatore Iaconesi was diagnosed with brain cancer, he refused to be a passive patient — which, he points out, means “one who waits.” So he hacked his brain scans, posted them online, and invited a global community to pitch in on a “cure.” This sometimes meant medical advice, and it sometimes meant art, music, emotional support — from more than half a million people.

U.C. Berkeley History Ph.D. candidate and jazz & blues singer Kim Nalley sketches the life and music of Eleanora Fagan. Awarded “Most Influential African-American in the Bay Area” and shortlisted for a Grammy, Nalley portrayed Holiday on stage in the theatrical biopic “Lady Day in Love” in 2005, followed with a tribute CD entitled “Ballads for Billie,” a sold-out concert series at Jazz at Lincoln Center and will reprise her tribute on July 17, 2015 for SFJAZZ. As a popular writer, Nalley has written for Sfgate.com “CityBrights” and for JazzWest. As a scholar, Nalley has written several jazz themed history papers including “This Bitter Earth: Infertility in Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan” and “Two Gardenias for Civil Rights: Robin Carson’s Portrait of Billie Holiday.” Her research of Holiday includes interviews of people who knew Billie personally, painting an intimate singing portrait of the woman whose name is synonymous with jazz-singer. The audience will be invited to ask questions for the Q & A portion of the talk.

A Mac isn’t exactly a gaming PC but can you game at all on a MacBook?

Last year I tested whether a Mac Pro was remotely usable as a gaming PC to see how far games on OS X have come but this around I used a MacBook Pro 13″ running OS X 10.10 Yosemite with Steam running games like Minecraft, League of Legends, Tomb Raider, Borderlands and more. I also load up Windows 10 using Boot Camp and test the Windows vs Mac gaming performance in games like Grand Theft Auto 5 and Shadow of Mordor.
