"Cities of Innovation: Amsterdam as a Hyper-Connected City"


By Bas Verhart via Meeting of the Minds
As the world moves into an accelerated phase of mass urbanization and mega cities are developing across the globe, the governments of many smaller cities are looking for ways to differentiate themselves and to attract talent from around the world. Two cities stand out in their drive to be different: San Francisco and Amsterdam. Even though both are relatively small in comparison with the mega cities popularized by international media, one could say these “boutique cities” think differently and act more nimbly than their mega counterparts. It is no coincidence that Lonely Planet selected these two hyper-connected cities as the #1 and #2 destination cities for 2013.

" My Architectural Philosophy? Bring the community into the process" Alejandro Aravena the 2016 Pritzker Prize laureate


Sustainability, Design & Disrupt 

 Bring the community into the process

Alejandro Aravena the 2016 Pritzker Prize laureate

“If there is any power in design, that’s the power of synthesis.” 

When asked to. build housing for 100 families in Chile ten years ago, Alejandro Aravena looked to an unusual inspiration: the wisdom of favelas and slums. Rather than building a large building with small units, he built flexible half-homes that each family could expand on. It was a complex problem, but with a simple solution — one that he arrived at by working with the families themselves. With a chalkboard and beautiful images of his designs, Aravena walks us through three projects where clever rethinking led to beautiful design with great benefit.
Alejandro Aravena works inside paradoxes, seeing space and flexibility in public housing, clarity in economic scarcity, and the keys to rebuilding in the causes of natural disasters.

“Muchos Venden la Innovación de la Boca para Afuera" 

Por  Margarita Hantke

El Premio Nacional de Ciencias 1994, Humberto Maturana, y la epistemóloga Ximena Dávila, llevan años estudiando y reflexionando, desde un prisma biológico-cultural, las relaciones que se generan en las organizaciones y cómo inciden en el bienestar y en que haya verdadera innovación en estas comunidades. También, cómo las entrampan en dinámicas que les impiden despegar.

"The Science of setting Goals"

How to make New Year’s resolutions
 Nadia Goodman via Ideas TED

How to make New Year’s resolutions that actually work out this time.


It’s the time of year when optimism strikes anew and we think to ourselves: our New Year’s resolutions will totally work out this time. Never mind that we abandoned them by Valentine’s Day last year. And the year before. And, well, you know the drill.

But what if this year really could be different?

INXS Never tear Us apart, filmed in the beauty and magic Prague


Rock N'Roll and Cities

filmed in the beauty & magic Prague






"Never Tear Us Apart" is a single released by Australian rock group INXS in August 1988 and  was filmed in Prague, one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. It was also included on the band's sixth studio album, Kick. The music was written by Andrew Farriss, who recorded a blues-style demo and gave it to Michael Hutchence who wrote the lyrics. This videoclip directed by Richard Lowenstein.




"Never Tear Us Apart" is a sensuous ballad, layered with synthesizers and containing dramatic pauses before the instrumental breaks.   


 Kirk Pengilly lends a cathartic saxophone solo near the end. According to the liner notes of Shine Like It Does: The Anthology (1979–1997), the song was originally composed on piano as a bluesy number in the style of Fats Domino. Producer Chris Thomas suggested a synth-based arrangement instead.


 The video for the song, featuring an extended intro, was filmed in various locations in Prague along with "Guns in the Sky" and "New Sensation", all directed by Richard Lowenstein.


 The single reached #24 in the UK, and stayed on the charts for seven weeks. In the U.S., it reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. After his death in 1997, Michael Hutchence's coffin was carried out of St. Andrews Cathedral by the remaining members of INXS and younger brother Rhett, as "Never Tear Us Apart" was played in the background. This song is now thought of by many original INXS fans as Hutchence's anthem.

The song was used in the opening sequence of the director's cut of the 2001 cult film, Donnie Darko. It would have been featured in the original release had the rights for it not been deemed too expensive by the producers. ("The Killing Moon" by Echo & the Bunnymen served as its replacement.)


In 2006, the song was voted "Nation's Favourite Lyric" by viewers of pay TV music channel VH1 in Australia.



Recently, the song has been adopted by The Squadron, the Newcastle United Jets supporter group, and sung in unison at the start and 90th minute of their A-League association football matches. This is in homage to the line, "cause we all have wings, but some of us don't know why", used now in reference to the Jets symbol of their club. The song's popularity among supporters has prompted a move to have the song be played at the beginning of each match, first happening on 18 October 2008, when the Jets defeated the Melbourne Victory 1−0.



In February 2014, after the Channel 7 screening of "INXS: Never Tear Us Apart" mini-series, "Never Tear Us Apart" charted again in Australia via download sales. It peaked at #11 on the ARIA Singles Chart, surpassing its original peak position of #14 back in 1988.






INXS LYRICS
"Never Tear Us Apart"

Writer(s): Andrew Farriss, Michael Hutchence
 



Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why


I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

"Happy New Year" pinup tribute

PinUp Gallery

HappyNewYear
 Barbara Rush - New Years 1950s


This picture gallery celebrete the New year with  pin-up girl, iconic pieces of pop culture... They were considered inspiring, but mostly as inspiring female patriots that were helpful for good luck in the war. Prior to World War II they were praised for their beauty and less focus was on their sexuality. However, during the war, the drawings transformed into women playing dress-up in military drag and drawn in seductive manners, like that of a child playing with a doll.
