From the comfort of his pad in London, Kanye West went on a three-hour vent session via Twitter discussing several topics which ranged from his early desires to design at a young age to his present-day need to reshape the world’s broken systems. In the process, Kanye announced the launch of his new design company — DONDA — named after his late mother, Donda West, who passed away in 2007. “DONDA is a design company which will galvanize amazing thinkers and put them in a creative space to bounce there dreams and ideas.”

The newly established design company will be comprised of over 22 divisions with a goal to make products and experiences that people want and can afford. The team will consist of architects, graphic designers, directors, musicians, products, A&Rs, writers, publicists, social media experts, app guys, managers, car designers, clothing designers, DJs, video game designers, publishers, tech guys, lawyers, bankers, nutritionists and others. It’s a massive list with conquer-everything-at-once strategy but being the creative genius Mr. West is, we can really see him make some strides in the proper direction.

Have you always been one with the force, but never had certification?  Well, now you can take a course at Queen’s University Belfast in the UK that will build communication skills and promote personal development by using the psych of Jedi Knights.

According to its publicity material, the course ‘Feel the Force: How to Train in the Jedi Way’ teaches the “real-life psychological techniques behind Jedi mind tricks”. It also claims to examine the “wider issues behind the Star Wars universe, like balance, destiny, dualism, fatherhood and fascism”.

The one-day course costs £23 and Dr. Baird, course leader, hopes to attract 30-40 students.

You don’t need to have any prior Jedi training or other qualifications, but one thing – “light sabers are not provided,” so we’re guessing you have to bring your own?
