Manifesto Crisis as catalyst. Risk as renewal. Classical strategic planning is based upon the assumption of a slowly changing future. That assumption is wrong. Climate change, technological innovation, resource shortages, political and social volatility, and more frequent technical and natural disasters point to a newly emerging context for strategic planning. VUCA conditions lead to a shift in how we understand and enact strategic planning. “Seeing the world as a ceaselessly complex and adaptive system… involves changing the role we imagine for ourselves… from architects of a system we can control… to gardeners living in a shifting ecosystem that is mostly out of our control.” VUCA and its consequences demonstrate that complexity and crisis themselves are the new context for governance and design. Dealing with transition can produce fear, resistance, and anxiety. Thankfully, there are a range of useful tools for addressing long term planning under uncertainty.
DIY Special Effects: The 'Matrix' Bullet Time Shot with a Ceiling Fan and a GoPro A lemon splashes into a bowl in a still from the demonstration of this DIY "The Matrix" bullet effect. Mark Rober, who has been experimenting with cameras for some time now on his YouTube channel (even sending one into a gorilla cage to document the animal up close and making a "Scooby-Doo"-style moving-eyes-in-a-portrait surveillance cam), has done something really cool this week. READ MORE: Movie Lovers We Love: Joey Shanks Shows Filmmakers How to Do Special Effects in Their Garage In order to replicate the slow-mo bullet time effect from "The Matrix" with, you know, no FX budget, Rober set up a curved background, two flashlights and a GoPro camera onto an upside down ceiling fan.

Turning orgasm into art The black-and-white video begins with a woman sitting at a table with a book in front of her. She looks into the camera and states her name, the name of the book, and begins to read. It seems she’s overwhelmed by the words — there’s a slight twitch, a smirk, a straightening of the back, a desperate breath in — and she struggles to continue reading. Eventually you realize there is more to this scene than it at first seems — maybe when you notice the ever-so-slight buzzing sound in the background, or maybe not until the moans begin. Either way, before the end of the video there is the unmistakable appearance of an orgasm. But you never see just what has produced it: Is there someone or something under that table? This is the setup of art photographer Clayton Cubitt’s new video series, “Hysterical Literature.” I talked to Cubitt, also known as Siege, by email about his fascinating new project, the line between high and low art, and authentic portraiture in the age of self-branding.

Although the project has now ended in Platform21, it doesn't mean we are dropping the repair mentality. So rediscover the joy of fixing things and share your repair knowledge.

Bringing Back Wonder Woman Dear privileged Hollywood women, We need you. It’s time. You can no longer remain silent. You must act. As I write this, I understand the sad truth that many people (ie too many of our young) today do not know Wonder Woman: her power, strength, ideals or her significance to women’s empowerment and history. In 1941, a psychologist named William Moulton Marston began writing comic books under a pseudonym. Along with this obsession for the truth, Marston loved Greek mythology and believed in women’s overall higher moral compass. “The next one hundred years will see the beginning of an American matriarchy–a nation of Amazons in the psychological rather than physical sense,” adding that, “women would take over the rule of the country, politically and economically.” Marston, a complicated man, was very much interested in bondage and the relationship between dominance and submission. Marston’s vision ultimately led him to work for DC Comics, home of Superman and Batman. Please and thank you,
The big list of 100 tools, tips and tricks to work more efficiently online 7.2K Flares Filament.io 7.2K Flares × What does it take to be productive? It’s a question I often ask myself and to be honest I don’t have a great answer for it yet. One key discovery I’ve made over the past year or so is that I need to have great habits in place. That’s why I’m working on a solid running routine and on a set wake-up time and sleep time. These things have been incredibly helpful for me and I know both Joel and Leo have discovered the same. One other realization I had is that, as I now spend so much of my day working online, there are a heap of new apps being created all the time to help us all become more productive. That’s why I thought of compiling a full list of 100 tools, tips and tricks for you to reflect a bit on your own productivity. Of course, a sure fire way to fail might be to try and use all 100, which Joel pointed out to me when we discussed this post! 10 awesome music sites to get into your zone “In the case of music, it’s a little different. 1. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Komiksový hrdina Ludvík Svoboda. Všimli si ho i v Americe | Média 25. dubna 2013 17:52 | Lidovky.cz PRAHA - Skutečná dobrodružství největších světových hrdinů“ stojí v záhlaví barevného magazínu Real Life. Jednou z hlavních postav čísla z podzimu roku 1944 je „colonel Ludvík Svoboda“. „Ředitel Vojenského historického ústavu Aleš Knížek vytahuje zašlý časopis ze zažloutlé obálky téměř obřadně. Komiks jako válečná propaganda Hrdinou čtyřstránkového vyprávění je český generál Ludvík Svoboda. A dokonce se do bublin vyplněných angličtinou dostalo i česky psané zvolání Věrni zůstaneme: „Kroky nacistických bot se možná dorážejí v jejich milované Praze. Komiksy jsou mezi angloamerickými bojovými jednotkami dodnes využívány jako druh válečné propagandy (v afghánské misi se například rozdávají v amerických obchodech pro vojáky Postal Exchange), ale překvapivé je, že si jejich autoři všimli i úspěchů československých vojáků. Jak se o Svobodově příběhu nejspíš dozvěděli? Jak se komiks dostal do Československa?
The Refracted Light: Imaginary and Impossible Colors STARE AT THE TOP square for a minute or more. Do not move your head, and keep your eyes right in the middle of the square. Slowly move your eyes to the square below. Glorious, isn't it? You are seeing some colors that are impossible to actually portray in the real world, other than transiently as you see here. Here is the problem. There are some deep, rich red colors which do not stimulate either your green or blue cone cells. A camera mimics human vision by also having three classes of sensors, and like the eye, there is no color which will give a signal in the camera's green which will not also give a signal in either red or blue or both. RAW Photo Processor was set with UniWB and no color space assigned, which gives basically the actual signal received by the pixels. Human color vision as it is has the potential to see these supergreen colors, unadulterated with excess red or blue. Following is a chart which represents the full gamut of real saturated colors seen by human vision:
College of Production - CoP Show: Future Fiction Riot grrrl: searching for music's young female revolutionaries March 1993, and a storm is about to hit. Two bands – one American, one British – have embarked on a tour of the UK, sweeping across the country with a message and a mission. Bikini Kill and Huggy Bear proclaim in words, deeds and noise that it is no longer OK for men to push women to the back of the room with actual and threatened violence, nor are women just there to hold the guys' coats while they mosh. The new ethos is screamed loud and clear: girls can have the stage, and they can run the show. I was one of the many participants in this revolution as a writer, fan and gig promoter, following the bands on several dates and putting on their show in Leeds. But to tell the full story, we need to go back to the start. To be a girl in 1990s America meant being fed on media lies that to be acceptable you must be impossibly thin and as pretty as a photoshopped picture. I'd been publishing a zine on my own for years – the Leeds-based Ablaze! And across the rest of the UK, bands sprang up.
