Cartier: "Painted Love" by AIR

Futuribles 4 octobre 2012 9h00 - 18h00 S’inscrire à la formation en ligne OBJECTIFSPermettre aux participants de faire le point sur l’architecture du système français de protection sociale au regard de ses évolutions structurelles et des conséquences de la crise, ceci à la lumière des comparaisons internationales, européennes en particulier. Outre une présentation fouillée des analyses et données les plus récentes, cette formation entend fournir à ses participants les clés de compréhension pour envisager les divers scénarios d’avenir de l’organisation générale de la protection sociale, ce au début d’un nouveau quinquennat. L’accent sera également mis sur les dynamiques d’innovation, à partir d’exemples concrets, dans le monde entier. La réflexion portera sur les capacités de transposition, en France, d’innovations importantes repérées dans différents contextes.

Watch flying robots build a 6-meter tower A quadrotor just before a precision landing on a brick (credit: Markus Waibel/ETH Zurich) ETH Zurich roboticists and architects used a fleet of quadcopters to build a 6 meter (20 feet) twisting tower out of 1500 foam bricks, IEEE Spectrum Automaton reports. The ceiling of the room where the assembly is taking place was equipped with a motion-capture system. A computer uses the vision data to keep track of the quadcopters and tell them where to go. First, the robots grab foam bricks from a special brick dispenser on the ground. Next the quadcopters receive the exact coordinates of where the bricks should go based on a detailed digital blueprint of the tower.

Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein [Note: This list of Einstein quotes was being forwarded around the Internet in e-mail, so I decided to put it on my web page. I'm afraid I can't vouch for its authenticity, tell you where it came from, who compiled the list, who Kevin Harris is, or anything like that. Still, the quotes are interesting and enlightening.] "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.

DSK à 7sur7 (Laurent Gerra).avi Planet confirmed that could have water Kepler-22b is the first confirmed planet in the “habitable zone,” the area around a star where a planet could exist with liquid water on its surface, that has been discovered by NASA’s Kepler mission. The planet’s radius is about 2.4 times that of the Earth. It is located about 600 light years away. Its orbital period is shorter than that of the Earth: a "year" on Kepler-22b is 290 days instead of 365. There were two other planets confirmed this year by other projects in the habitable zone, but their stars are much cooler than our Sun, and their orbits are more like that of Venus or Mars, scientists say. Kepler-22b is 15% closer to its star than we are to the Sun. "If the greenhouse warming were similar on this planet and had a surface, its surface temperature would be something like 72 Fahrenheit, a very pleasant temperature here on Earth." Share your thoughts about searching for life on other planets The warmer a planet, the more evaporation of water there would be, Borucki said.

Фото и рисунки, арт и креативная реклама La stratégie du choc An Ingenious Way to Financially Bootstrap a Resilient Community Here's Marcin, a farmer scientist (not many left). In this video (click the link above if you can't see it embedded below), Marcin used Kicksarter to ask for $40,000 in support of his global village construction set project. Fortunately, he was successful and raised over $63,000. If you haven't heard of it before, the construction set project is a do-it-yourself lab/facility based on Marcin's farm in Mayesville Missouri. The lab/facility is developing open source designs for many commonly used industrial, construction, and farming tools (from a tractor to a brick maker to hydraulic system). Basically, this kit is supposed to make it easier to bootstrap resilient community. This project shows that it is possible to get meaningful funding for projects that matter. Is this a Backdoor Way to Financially Bootstrap a Resilient Community? I've featured Marcin's work on Global Guerrillas many times before, as a great example of open source innovation in hardware.

Stunning Cut-Out Book Art By Brian Dettmer That Will Leave You Scratching Your Head | blurppy Artist Brian Dettmer is a talented artist and his media of choice happens to be books. With a little bit of careful carving, he can make amazing creations from already printed pages. While there are a number of artists who work with books, it seems safe to say that Brian has definately earned his nickname ” the book surgeon.” (Is it just me or does that sound like a bad guy from the hit TV show Dexter.) Dettmer is originally from Chicago although he currently resides in Atlanta, GA. Brian is known for his detailed and innovative sculptures with books and other forms of antiquated media. Dettmer’s work has gained International acclaim through internet bloggers, and traditional media.
