As he dug into personal data more and looked closer at company privacy policies, he wondered what it might be like if individuals profited from their own data. That is, companies make money using the data we passively generate while we browse and use applications and visit sites. Enter Zannier's Kickstarter campaign to sell his own data for $2 per day of activity. I started looking at the terms of service for the websites I often use. Clearly this is more of a statement and conversation starter, but what if? There's about a week left in the campaign, and it's well past the goal.

Will the Future of the Internet Be Decided By Hollywood? Hollywood lobbyists are pressuring the US Congress to pass a major legislative reform, which would provide for the systematic filtering and blocking of sites suspected of encouraging piracy of copyrighted works. This Wednesday, November 16, the members of the House of Representatives will gather to consider the Stop Online Privacy Act (SOPA) bill. (This legislation) would mean the end of the Internet as we know it. Democrat Zoe Lofgren, the elected representative for Silicon Valley, spoke of the “many prominent human rights activists and Internet engineers (who) have voiced concerns” which she believes “deserve serious consideration”. The “death penalty” for Internet sites The movement to remove websites that are allegedly in breach of copyright has come a long way. Currently under discussion in the Senate, the bill would create a procedure to make a targeted site simply disappear. War of the lobbyists Stopping piracy is also the aim of the SOPA bill.

Psychology | The Trauma & Mental Health Report Metaverse Roadmap: Pathways to the 3D Web In-Vesica Beginnings Healer In-Vesica mixed media collage by Allison L. Williams Hill The beginnings of understanding and communing with Spirit in-vesica move us to our origin but, in this world, feels like a strange state. Being lead in faith is not a lesson most of us receive while we are impressionable. When we step over the threshold after trusting that which is unseen, a tremendous load of skepticism, distrust, and uncertainty lifts. Vesica Piscis is the geometric term for two circles intersecting each circle's center. It is within that space where a medium is receptive to all kinds of knowledge and gathers information; a psychic "sees" any existence past, present or future, and a healer administers energy to a being in need. River II by Allison L. A medium bridges the physical world and the spiritual world, the seen and the unseen. <A HREF=" The books above are only some of what I've come across over the years. in-vesica.

Future Scenarios What Will The Internet Look Like In 10 Years? The Internet Society engaged in a scenario planning exercise to reveal plausible courses of events that could impact the health of the Internet in the future. While obviously not intended to be a definitive overview of the landscape or all potential issues, we believe the results are interesting and, we hope, thought-provoking. We are sharing them in the hope that they will inspire thought about possibilities for the future development of the Internet, and involvement in helping to make that happen in the best possible way.

Profiles: The Demon-Lover “The Hour of the Wolf,” a film that is probably the darkest of Ingmar Bergman’s journeys into his shadowy interior, the protagonist, an artist beset by night sweats, is fishing off a craggy promontory on an island where he has come to live. A pesky young boy materializes and by degrees invades the artist’s tranquillity. They grapple; the boy scrambles onto the artist’s back, tearing at his neck and trying to devour him. The artist smashes the boy against the cliff, then beats his head in with a rock, and finally, with a curious gentleness, lowers the vanquished demon of childhood into the sea. The flat, windswept island in “The Hour of the Wolf” (1968) recalls Fårö, in the Baltic Sea, where Bergman, now eighty, spends most of his time. Bergman, who watches “The Phantom Carriage” once a year on Fårö, and who cast Sjöström memorably as the aging professor in “Wild Strawberries” (1957), also revisits his family in his work, but his method is the opposite of Lagerlöf’s idealization.

Envisioning Technology 2011 We've just released our newest work. A technological study on the Future of Money. Click here to find out more. Vagina: A New Biography Georgia O’Keeffe’s work became increasingly revolutionary at the same time that she began a highly erotic relationship with photographer Alfred Stieglitz. Gertrude Stein also experienced a great leap forward in her work, both in its experimentation and its sensuality, following her relationship with Alice B. Toklas. And for Edith Wharton, Emma Goldman and Kate Chopin, periods of great creativity and daring in their lives and work all coincided with periods of sexual awakening. Could a profound connection between a woman’s brain and her experience of her vagina affect her greater sense of creativity—even her consciousness? Spurred by the experience of an unexpected medical crisis – an injured pelvic nerve that temporarily affected her own physical sensation – Wolf set out to uncover why and how the brain and vagina are really best understood as “one system.” Be Sociable, Share!
