Krov nad glavom: Uništeno sve što omogućava građanski otpor - Društvo. Addicted to Ideology? With Gabor Maté. SUPER DONUT | Institut za političku ekologiju. IPE DONUT Index research project a.k.a. SUPER DONUT: Sustainability on the periphery – distilling numbers for tomorrow In 2017, IPE started a collaborative research project on indicators of sustainability under the working title SUPER DONUT. The main pillar of the project consists in (1) critically questioning the conceptual underpinning of the widespread macroeconomic modelling of transition towards a sustainable social metabolism in the 21st century (with a special emphasis on societies on the Southeastern semi-periphery of Europe); and (2) choosing indicators of social metabolism and development suitable for a scientific understanding of the sustainable social metabolism and for communicating with various social groups.

The project represents the umbrella research programme for quantitative representation of nation states’ anthromes’ degrowth potential, based on a selection of indicators of excesses and shortfalls within contemporary anthromes’ metabolism. Unlike a Globalized Food System, Local Food Won't Destroy the Environment. Recent and inspiring testaments to human ingenuity and goodwill have two things in common: They involve smaller-scale farms adapted to local conditions, and they depend more on human attention and care than on energy and technology. In other words, they are the opposite of industrial monocultures — huge farms that grow just one crop. (Image: Sustainable Food Trust) If you’re seeking some good news during these troubled times, look at the ecologically sound ways of producing food that have percolated up from the grassroots in recent years.

Small farmers, environmentalists, academic researchers and food and farming activists have given us agroecology, holistic resource management, permaculture, regenerative agriculture and other methods that can alleviate or perhaps even eliminate the global food system’s worst impacts: biodiversity loss, energy depletion, toxic pollution, food insecurity and massive carbon emissions. Massive subsidies for globally traded commodities. Countering the Myths. Shutterstock reveals 2019's trending colours. It's hard to believe that we're hurtling towards the end of 2018.

It feels like only yesterday that Pantone revealed its enigmatic Colour of the year, and over the last twelve months we've seen the creation of the world's most unignorable colour and a trend for bold and saturated hues. Designers and fans of colour theory are already wondering what 2019 has in store, and now Shutterstock has the answer. Today, the global marketplace for images has released its 2019 Color Trends report based on pixel data and image download data.

By studying the actions of its users, Shutterstock has been able to identify the top three universally popular colours, as well as pin-pointing local favourites from different countries from around the world. And just as we saw with the rise of vivid hues back in the summer, it looks like people can't get enough of turbo-charged colours if this report is anything to go by.

"If we look to the ideas influencing culture today, technology stands at the forefront. Neoliberalism's Dark Path to Fascism. Neoliberalism generates little wealth. Rather, it redistributes it upward into the hands of the ruling elites. (Photo: Mr. Fish / Truthdig) Neoliberalism as economic theory was always an absurdity. It had as much validity as past ruling ideologies such as the divine right of kings and fascism’s belief in the Übermensch. None of its vaunted promises were even remotely possible. Concentrating wealth in the hands of a global oligarchic elite—eight families now hold as much wealth as 50 percent of the world’s population—while demolishing government controls and regulations always creates massive income inequality and monopoly power, fuels political extremism and destroys democracy. As a ruling ideology, neoliberalism was a brilliant success. “As a political project, it was very savvy,” he said. “The great thing about freedom of the market is it appears to be egalitarian, but there is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequals.”

Neoliberalism generates little wealth. 7 Reasons Ben Shapiro Is So Dominant In Debates. Chart: The Evolution of Standard Oil. One Of America's Poorest Cities Has A Radical Plan To Remake Itself. The Problem with 'The Journal of Controversial Ideas' A group of academics recently announced plans to launch a new journal focused on research that its authors fear could lead to a backlash, putting their careers and perhaps even their physical safety in danger. With these concerns in mind, the journal will allow authors to publish their work anonymously, subject to peer review. Some are applauding the launch of what will be titled The Journal of Controversial Ideas. They view it as a needed response to an academic and potentially broader culture that is increasingly afraid to grapple with sensitive topics and seeks to suppress ideas that may have merit but are socially unpopular. However, we think the creation of a journal like this, while serving as a prophetic warning about the new moral culture taking hold of academia and the future of our institutions of higher learning, may be a counterproductive way of dealing with the problems it addresses.

Scientists Warn the UN of Capitalism's Imminent Demise. Capitalism as we know it is over. So suggests a new report commissioned by a group of scientists appointed by the UN Secretary-General. The main reason? We’re transitioning rapidly to a radically different global economy, due to our increasingly unsustainable exploitation of the planet’s environmental resources. Climate change and species extinctions are accelerating even as societies are experiencing rising inequality, unemployment, slow economic growth, rising debt levels, and impotent governments.

Rather, these crises are part of the same fundamental transition to a new era characterized by inefficient fossil fuel production and the escalating costs of climate change. Energy shift Those are the stark implications of a new scientific background paper prepared by a team of Finnish biophysicists. For the “first time in human history,” the paper says, capitalist economies are “shifting to energy sources that are less energy efficient.”

U tržišnoj trci pobeđuju mediji koji se pokoravaju logici: što dramatičnije, što krvavije. To, međutim, posredstvom odnosa pamćenja i odlučivanja, pogoduje desničarskim politikama. Da li je u Sjedinjenim Državama opasnije biti policajac ili drvoseča? Da li u Nemačkoj veća opasnost preti od terorističkih napada ili podvrnutih tepiha u dnevnoj sobi i klizavih pločica u kupatilu? I zašto na ova pitanja – za koja je čitaocu odmah jasno da su trik-pitanja i da tačni odgovori nisu prvoloptaški – ogromna većina ljudi odgovara pogrešno? Odgovor je u heuristici dostupnosti (availability heuristic), koju su sedamdesetih definisali psiholozi Danijel Kaneman i Amos Tverski.

Prosto rečeno, mozak nam nudi prečicu prizivajući iz sećanja ono što ima veze s temom o kojoj razmišljamo. Uzmimo prvi gornji primer.

Foto: Marko Miletić / Mašina U izlogu radnje Springfield u centru Beograda postavljeni su šiljci koji onemogućavaju da na sokli izloga prespavaju beskućnici ili na nju sednu prolaznici.

Šiljci, koji su inače usmereni protiv beskućnika, predstavljaju i neposrednu opasnost za decu, stare, i osobe sa posebnim potrebama. Fotografije postavljenih šiljaka ispred izloga Springfildove prodavnice u Bulevaru kralja Aleksandra 28 u Beogradu su se danas pojavile na društvenim mrežama, a Nedeljnik piše da oni stoje tu već mesec dana. Nisu sasvim jasni razlozi za postavljanje ovih šiljaka, ali oni će svakako upasti u oči velikom broju ljudi s obzirom na to da se nalaze u veoma prometnoj ulici ispred autobuske stanice. Menadžerka ove radnje nije želela da nam da izjavu već nas je uputila na svoje nadređene za koje nam je dala nepostojeći broj.

U Beogradu je ovo prvi neposredni slučaj postavljanja šiljaka, inače trenda poznatog kao neprijateljska arhitektura (hostile architecture). I.K. i M.M. DW на русском - Искусственный интеллект в полевых условиях. Is Science Stagnant? We recognize these limitations: The survey results are striking, but provide only a partial picture. However, we’ll soon see supporting evidence suggesting that it’s getting much harder to make important discoveries across the board.

It’s requiring larger teams and far more extensive scientific training, and the overall economic impact is getting smaller. Taken together, these results suggest strong diminishing returns to our scientific efforts. When we report these diminishing returns to colleagues, they sometimes tell us that this is nonsense, and insist that science is going through a golden age. These are, indeed, astonishing discoveries. And while the discovery of the Higgs particle is remarkable, it pales beside the pantheon of particles discovered in the 1930s, including the neutron, one of the main constituents of our everyday world, and the positron, also known as the antielectron, which first revealed the shadowy world of antimatter.

Zaharova je takođe podsetila na Opijumske ratove u Kini, Burske ratove i istrebljenje Indijanaca. ”Evo vam još jedne interesantne činjenice: prema otkrivenim dokumentima Nacionalne arhive Velike Britanije, engleske vlasti su aktivno pribegavali korišćenju hemijskog oružja sa ciljem da se uguši ustanak Arapa u Mesopotamiji (današnja teritorija Iraka – prim. red.) na proleće 1920 godine”, naglasila je Zaharova.

Stara Drenčina, 23-26.avgust 2018. prošle godine sam imala čast da budem deo 1.konvencije prirodnog graditeljstva u Vukomeriću, nakon čega je usledio poziv za 6.modul Akademije prirodnog graditeljstva u Staroj Drenčini :) put je protekao lagano, sad smo godinu dana stariji, a najveći problem bio je – pronaći ih u selu :) konačno: stižemo i do kuće puž, a anegdotu o vlasnicima možete čuti samo uživo :) kad smo obišli gradilište, došli smo i do imanja na kojem smo smešteni – kakva lepota i svaka čast ekipi, na čelu sa Krunom, koja je od ove dedovine napravila momčinu :) uživali smo u svakom trenutku i u svemu: od ambijenta, preko ekipe do radova :) u petak krećemo – prvo sa pričom o zemlji, pa o zemljanim podovima… još pre dolaska izražavam zabrinutost da se 75 kvadrata poda može uraditi u dva ipo dana, ali su svi puni entuzijazma da me uveravaju u suprotno :) kreće mešanje zemlje, pa loptice-đulad od zemlje i slame u ogroomnim količinama… i izrada poda… Matko svira polazak :)

Architect Has Transformed An Old Cement Factory Into His House, And The Interior Is Mindblowing. When Ricardo Bofill discovered an old cement factory in 1973, he saw a world of possibilities. Then, la fábrica was born, and approximately 45 years later, the structure has been turned into a spectacular and extraordinary home. The factory, situated outside of Barcelona, was a WWI-era pollution machine which had closed down and this came with many repairs to be done when Ricardo Bofill and his team purchased it. After some years of partial deconstruction, the determined architect laced the exterior of the property with vegetation and furnished the interior as a modern living and workspace. To this day, la fábrica is a work in progress, to which Bofill likens his life, as his visions for the future still change shape. More info: Ricardo Bofill.

The world’s first pay-what-you-can grocery store just opened up in Toronto and the shelves are stocked entirely with food that was destined for a landfill. The Feed It Forward store “sells” food and ingredients that are donated by larger grocery supply chains who aren’t allowed to sell the products. The produce is usually salvaged because it’s misshapen or bruised in some way, despite being perfectly edible.

Other products are donated because grocery stores aren’t allowed to sell the goods if they are too close to their expiration date, even though they may still have a shelf life for several months to come. Some food is thrown out simply because there is too much warehouse stock to accommodate it. Customers at Feed It Forward, however, are free to fill up their baskets and pay whatever they can afford.

Organic agriculture key to feeding the world sustainably: Study analyzes 40 years of science against 4 areas of sustainability -- ScienceDaily. Washington State University researchers have concluded that feeding a growing global population with sustainability goals in mind is possible. Their review of hundreds of published studies provides evidence that organic farming can produce sufficient yields, be profitable for farmers, protect and improve the environment and be safer for farm workers.

The review study, "Organic Agriculture in the 21st Century," is featured as the cover story for February issue of the journal Nature Plants and was authored by John Reganold, WSU regents professor of soil science and agroecology and doctoral candidate Jonathan Wachter. It is the first such study to analyze 40 years of science comparing organic and conventional agriculture across the four goals of sustainability identified by the National Academy of Sciences: productivity, economics, environment, and community well being.

Critics have long argued that organic agriculture is inefficient, requiring more land to yield the same amount of food. Who we are - Damanhur Community Blog.
