Q&A: Steve Cushman on civic duty, the port, convention center. Com. Introduction This contribution is based on my work in radioactive waste management (RWM) in Europe, which extended for a decade until 2007 and included projects sponsored by the Swedish Nuclear Inspectorate and the European Union (Wene and Espejo 1999, Espejo et al, 2005, Espejo 2007).
The key problem that underpinned all these projects was the need to understand and clarify the participation of local stakeholders in a national policy process, namely, the management of nuclear waste, in order to have truly democratic decisions. Stakeholders often feel that inclusion is not practiced. Achieving it requires good practices to increase local influence on what is essentially a national policy process. This paper offers an introductory discussion of systemic principles and recommended practices for local stakeholders to influence national policy-making. Overall we need systems to engage and involve local stakeholders in fair and ethical national decisions processes. Principles 1. Guardianship.

This is a self-learning programme that people can enrol at no cost. Our purpose is disseminating organisational cybernetics in education, government, business and third sector organisations. The Programme is a resource for those interested in learning how do enterprises of all kinds work or don't work. The notion of Organisational Systems is developed in the book Organizational Systems: Managing Complexity with the Viable System Model by Raul Espejo and Alfonso Reyes (Springer 2011). The Programme is based on the ideas of the Viable System Model as developed by Stafford Beer and enhanced methodologically by Raul Espejo's academic and consultancy work since the mid 1980s. The Online Learning Centre uses published and unpublished papers available as downloadable pdfs or eBooks; exercises to facilitate learning; short videos and online templates.
Organisational Systems - Programme Content The programme has seven modular components: Joining the Programme on Organisational Systems. Reality Sandwich | Evolving consciousness, bite by bite. The floodwaters lapped at the wheels of our Ford Escape as we left West Virginia early in the morning on Saturday, March 13. As meaningful as our experiences had been, we were still glad to be leaving the dramatic rivers and mountains and valleys that had been our home for a week. Most of our time was spent with our crew, an all-ages collection of willing and well-meaning souls from Cookeville, living inside a beautiful old church in the Kanawha River Valley.
We ate together each evening and some read books or played cards at night before an early bedtime, but by day, we worked rehabbing trailers for locals in need. Standing in the back of one holler on a beautiful early March morning, I instantly watched the last 14 years of my life flash by as I visualized the hollers of Tennessee and the rural life I'd recently left to live in a college town full time.
In the depth and dirt of a decaying window frame, I faced some rot inside my mind, shame still contaminating my soul. Untitled. Nicolas Steno. WE Party - 100% World Peace Club.

Barbershop quartets, such as this US Navy group, sing 4-part pieces, made up of a melody line (normally the lead) and 3 harmony parts. Etymology and definitions[edit] The term harmony derives from the Greek ἁρμονία (harmonía), meaning "joint, agreement, concord",[4] from the verb ἁρμόζω (harmozo), "to fit together, to join".[5] The term was often used for the whole field of music, while "music" referred to the arts in general. In Ancient Greece, the term defined the combination of contrasted elements: a higher and lower note.[6] Nevertheless, it is unclear whether the simultaneous sounding of notes was part of ancient Greek musical practice; "harmonía" may have merely provided a system of classification of the relationships between different pitches.
In the Middle Ages the term was used to describe two pitches sounding in combination, and in the Renaissance the concept was expanded to denote three pitches sounding together.[6] Historical rules[edit] Types[edit] Close position C major triad. Treatise on harmony - Jean Philippe Rameau. Jean-Philippe Rameau. Jean-Philippe Rameau (French: [ʒɑ̃filip ʁamo]; 25 September 1683 – 12 September 1764) was one of the most important French composers and music theorists of the Baroque era.[1] He replaced Jean-Baptiste Lully as the dominant composer of French opera and is also considered the leading French composer for the harpsichord of his time, alongside François Couperin.[2] Little is known about Rameau's early years, and it was not until the 1720s that he won fame as a major theorist of music with his Treatise on Harmony (1722).
He was almost 50 before he embarked on the operatic career on which his reputation chiefly rests. His debut, Hippolyte et Aricie (1733), caused a great stir and was fiercely attacked for its revolutionary use of harmony by the supporters of Lully's style of music. Life[edit] The details of Rameau's life are generally obscure, especially concerning his first forty years, before he moved to Paris for good. Early years, 1683–1732[edit] The Cathedral of Saint-Bénigne, Dijon. Napoleonic Code. First page of the 1804 original edition The Napoleonic Code ‒ or Code Napoléon (the official name being the Code civil des Français) ‒ is the French civil code established under Napoléon I in 1804. The code forbade privileges based on birth, allowed freedom of religion, and specified that government jobs should go to the most qualified.[1] It was drafted rapidly by a commission of four eminent jurists and entered into force on 21 March 1804.[1] The Code, with its stress on clearly written and accessible law, was a major step in replacing the previous patchwork of feudal laws.
Historian Robert Holtman regards it as one of the few documents that have influenced the whole world.[1] History[edit] The categories of the Napoleonic Code were not drawn from earlier French laws, but instead from Justinian's sixth-century codification of Roman law, the Corpus Juris Civilis and, within it, the Institutes.[2] The Institutes divide law into the law of: personsthingsactions.

As video cameras seem to be getting smaller and smaller, their image quality seems to be getting better and better. The introduction of the iPhone is the perfect example of this phenomenon. The image sensor on Apple’s wildly popular multi-function phone is pretty amazing for what it is.
The image is perfectly crisp and clear. With the iPhone, users have the ability to produce high quality videos with a device that fits in the palm of their hand. The Original iPhone Film Festival was created to showcase the talent, imagination and creativity of iPhone filmmakers. “When the iPhone 4 was released I was one of the first to receive one through a pre-order,” says Original iPhone Film Festival Founder, Matt Dessner. The Zacuto iPhone Point ‘n’ Shoot Zacuto is just one of many sponsors of this festival. “There were so many exciting possibilities and I wanted to support this new form of filmmaking,” says Dessner. iPhone app launched at Cannes.

This extensive property is owned by the conservative billionaire Philip Anschutz and it was here last summer that the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, and a number of his staff spent their now hugely controversial July weekend. Prescott accepted the invitation apparently to discuss aspects of the tycoon's ownership of the Millennium Dome, but also to satisfy a curiosity about a western ranch that he had harboured since he was a young boy growing up in the cowboy-free frontier of South Yorkshire . "I'm curious about it, I saw the cowboy films over my young years, didn't you? " he told a BBC interviewer this week. Prescott's host at Eagle's Nest prefers western-style clothes with large belt buckles to hold up his jeans rather than a business suit, and his 35,000-acre ranch certainly has a working herd of cattle, but Philip Anschutz is a lot more besides. Fair enough, one might say.
