Do you know how many countries there are in the world? 21-year-old Lexie does because she took on the adventure to visit them all. She broke the Guinness World Record for the youngest person to travel to every country in the world. To give this achievement some context, more people have been to space than have traveled to all 196 sovereign nations and approximately less than 20 of those people are women. In this TEDx talk, Lexie shares her stories from around the world to inspire others, especially young women, to follow their dreams, to get out of their comfort zone and to stimulate personal growth. Lexie Alford was born in a small town called Nevada City, California. She has been traveling for as long as she can remember with her family who started a travel agency. She traveled to all 196 countries by 21 years old, breaking the Guinness World Record for the Youngest Person to Travel to Every Country by over 3 years.

Речевая смелость говорящих и пишущих современников не знает границ. Ни стилистических, ни грамматических, ни эстетических – никаких, одним словом. Это безвизовое раздолье, в конце прошлого века вызывавшее восторг и азарт, сегодня уже не кажется привлекательным. Тускло, шаблонно, плоско. Грубо. Попытка преодолеть свою речевую серость выливается в путаное многословие. Что делать, если своя речевая бедность уже осознаётся и вызывает недовольство? Как перевести мысль в слово с минимальными потерями для первой? Как можно (и нужно ли?) развить образность в своей речи?

Об этом и поговорим.

Ақын Мақпал Жұмабай поэзия мен музыканы егіз деп есептейді. Ол бұл дәрісінде неліктен поэзия мен музыканы бір бірімен табыстырғанын түсіндіреді. Оның пайымдауынша, өлең әу бастағы болмысында музыкалы болды. Жер бетінде пайда болған өркениеттердің әдеби тариxы солай дейді. Ақындар өз өлеңдерін әуендетіп айтты. Оны әсерлі жеткізу үшін музыкалық аспап қолданды. Ақын деген ғасырлар бойы біз білетін бүгінгі “қалам мен қағаз ұстаған ақын” бейнесінен өзге болды. Олардың сол замандағы образы төрт элементтен тұрды: сөз, дауыс, музыка, аспап. Мемлекеттік «Дарын» Жастар сыйлығының лауреаты (2006 ж.), ҚР Президент қоры грантының иегері (2016 ж.)

World renowned beatboxer Tom Thum takes you on a journey through sound. With shades of driving drums, stomach churning bass, deafening silence and soulful pitch perfect vocals, Tom invites his audience to explore the sordid love affair. This musical phenomenon showcases that what makes him whole, his music.

Climaxing in his own personal ode to silence, Tom unveils the newest piece in his arsenal, the gorgeous “Love has left here”. Not only showing his amazing ability to carve lush, emotion inducing arrangements through nothing more than the textures in his throat, it’s his unprecedented ability as a singer that is the real show stopper.
It’s been said many times that Beat Boxer Tom Thum appears to have not only a symphony orchestra but also a jazz band, techno DJ, 80’s synth pop group and collection of exotic world instruments all residing somewhere in his throat.

Propelled to Internet stardom with his 2013 TEDx performance at the Sydney Opera House, Tom’s 15 minute showcase quickly became the highest viewed TEDx video of all time with over 70 million views and counting. Now recognised worldwide for his obscure talent to warp and manipulate his vocal chords, Tom Thum provides confirmation to his audience that there is no sound he cannot mimic to perfection.
