Le Pacte pour les droits et la citoyenneté se met en place à Saint-Etienne - [PACTE pour les droits et la citoyenneté] Un amphi de la faculté de lettres, Université J Monnet, 120 personnes présentes, avec dans la salle des représentants d’organisations signataires du Pacte et de « collectifs militants » (RESF42, « Pour que personne ne dorme à la rue »), des élus dont plusieurs adjoint représentant la Municipalité de St Etienne, conseillers généraux et régionaux.

Une salle vivante et réactive. En introduction B Vennin souligne la nécessité de créer un front commun pour la défense des droits : le travail en défense est nécessaire, mais épuisant s’il n’est pas adossé sur une perspective plus large et plus stratégique. Droits et libertés sont liés les uns aux autres, et pour les défendre il faut être nombreux à mener bataille et formuler des exigences appuyées sur des choix politiques. Prenant le relais, JP Dubois a d’abord mis en évidence une crise de la citoyenneté et de l’espérance, espérance d’une alternative au-delà des « alternances (7 en 30 ans !). Polytopia project.

Observatoire des inégalités. Revista de Investigación en Gestión de la Innovación y Tecnología. ESTRATEGIAS, CONOCIMIENTOS E INNOVACIÓN. Número 19, octubre - noviembre 2003. 1. Introducción: La gestión del conocimiento y la estrategia. En la última década se ha escrito mucho acerca de conocimiento organizativo en general y de Gestión del Conocimiento en particular (especialmente en los últimos tres o cuatro años), en un intento de posibilitar la concienciación de la importancia de este asunto para las empresas, ayudándolas en la implantación de proyectos dirigidos al conocimiento.

Para cualquier empresa, conseguir posicionarse y permanecer viva en el mercado globalizado (donde paradigmas como el tiempo, la distancia y el espacio fueron rotos con la realidad de las tecnologías de la información) es un objetivo primordial. Evidentemente, para ello es necesario disponer de una serie de recursos, una buena administración, ser ágil, producir con calidad y, por encima de todo, ser innovadora. La capacidad de tener nuevas ideas es fundamental para las organizaciones del siglo XXI. En lo que respecta a este trabajo, nuestra pretensión es: 2. Figura 1. Figura 2. 3. 4. Bohemian Grove. Coordinates: Bohemian Grove is a 2,700-acre (1,100 ha) campground located at 20601 Bohemian Avenue, in Monte Rio, California, belonging to a private San Francisco-based men's art club known as the Bohemian Club.

In mid-July each year, Bohemian Grove hosts a two-week, three-weekend encampment of some of the most powerful men in the world.[1][2] Introduction[edit] The Bohemian Club's all-male membership and guest list includes artists, particularly musicians, as well as many prominent business leaders, government officials (including U.S. presidents), senior media executives, and people of power.[3][4] Members may invite guests to the Grove although those guests are subject to a screening procedure. A guest's first glimpse of the Grove typically is during the "Spring Jinks" in June, preceding the main July encampment. After 40 years of membership the men earn "Old Guard" status, giving them reserved seating at the Grove's daily talks, as well as other perquisites. History[edit] DARK SECRETS: INSIDE BOHEMIAN GROVE.

Scenarios 2020. RSS Feeds. Drop in US crime reveals complex role of poverty. A plunge in US violent crime over the last two years despite the economic downturn appears to confirm what experts have long known -- that poverty alone does not drive delinquency. The latest figures released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) show the lowest level of violent crime since the 1960s and a 5.5 percent decline in 2010 alone, following a 5.3 percent drop the previous year. Robbery is also down nationwide -- by 9.5 percent in 2010 and 8.0 percent in 2009 -- despite soaring unemployment and a grim economic outlook. Experts differ on what could explain the decline and insist more research is necessary, but say they have long viewed poverty as a poor indicator for violent crime and a weak one at best for property crime.

"There is no single satisfying answer to what causes changes in our crime rate, just like there is no single cause of weather," said Catherine Gallagher, a criminologist at Virginia's George Mason University. "There were two things that happened in 2009. World Leaders Agree on Roadmap to End Poverty By 2020. Geneva – July 21, 2011 It took years to decide, but last night in Geneva 164 CEO’s of the top fortune 500 companies, many country leaders from all continents, all CEO’s of the top 200 largest aid organisations, as well as US president Barack Obama, agreed on a plan to end poverty on a global scale by working together as one community, while agreeing on one roadmap with an accompanying set of behaviors. The roadmap involves a clear guide for (profit and non-profit) organisations, institutions, and governments to end poverty by 2020. Although participation is voluntary, it is said that this initiative will become the next global standard for governments and businesses’ social responsibility.

The idea is simple: all existing aid workers, students, and volunteers in the world unite through the Internet in one open software program, where communities can be established for every sub-initiative to end poverty by 2020.

U. QUEENSLAND (AUS) — People are at their happiest at retirement age and their most miserable in their geriatric years, according to a new study that shows how happiness changes over a lifetime. The study also debunks the idea of the middle-age blues, blaming an over-representation of unhappy respondents in previous surveys. Collecting data from more than 60,000 people in Australia, Britain, and Germany, researchers found people were happiest as they entered retirement age (55-75), and most miserable close to death (80-90). For a representative 18-year-old with a happiness level of 7 on a 10-point scale, the peak happiness age was 65 in Australia, reaching 7.3, compared with Britain (7.2 at aged 70), and Germany (7 at 65).

American City of Future (1925) #2. Think Global / Act Local & Communicate Digitally / Connect Analogue - A 360 Degree View of Thinque's Solutions. Recently, we have had the privilege and fortune of connecting globally and locally with multinational organisations in a diverse range of markets. Technology combined with future-minded human connectedness and connection is making this possible. Recent projects we have been working on have included a national 'Thought Leadership and Social Media Marketing' roadshow for one of the world's leading financial services organisations, scenario planning with Australia's leading bank, a 'leadership styles' program with an American pharmaceutical company, employer branding advice for one of the world's thought leading HR companies, executive coaching with pharmaceutical leaders, and an international innovation roadshow with an American-Japanese printing and digital solutions provider.

Given the depth, breadth and global nature of these programs, we thought it apt to visually demonstrate some of the services and solutions that we offer at Thinque. Why are past, present, and future our only options? But things get awkward if you have a friend. (Use your imagination if necessary.) Low blow, Dr. Dave. Low blow... But seriously, I always figured if there was more than one dimension of time, that moving "left" or "right" would be the equivalent of moving to a parallel universe where things were slightly different. That is to say, maybe time really is 2 dimensional, but for all the reasons you mention, we're normally only aware of one of them—and for the most part, the same one that most of the people we meet are aware of. But take, say, a schizophrenic person—maybe they're tuned in differently; moving sideways through time instead of forward... or maybe moving through (and aware of) both simultaneously. They can't form coherent thoughts because they're constantly confronted with overlapping and shifting realities.

I dunno... that's all just speculation, of course, but I find that thought fascinating. DavidSibbet.com. Gavinkeech: Polytopia Project Map GEN010. This iteration/generation of the Polytopia Project map (derived from notthisbody's conversation mapping +) was designed by utilising the raw information distributed to me in Australia, as it emerged in Italy, during the lead up to the Polytopia Presentation to be handed out (printed) at the TransVision 2010 conference. notthisbody, wildcat, spaceweaver and starwalker over the course of the weekend (back in the day), sent live voice recordings and ongoing 'generational conversation maps' of their discussions which consisted of distilled analysis of core values for what the Polytopia Project encompasses. Working along side them over the couple of days and integrating the highly distilled, yet raw information from their live analysis of terms, fundamental values of what the polytopia project stands for, was a great experience and one i was stoked to be involved with.
