The PGC is the result of a collaboration between the an the. eat contributed its networks its platform and its catalytic role,and the Lottery brought its expertise and the funding of the serious consider money: 500'000 euros. Bruno Giussani was up on re-create hosting the whole evening so heturned the LoIP blog over to me. And be warned: this will be a longpost. The evening opened with a starring Amsterdam major Job Cohensuggesting his own response to climate dress. It's short and youreally want to check it. As Bruno said after it. "I don't know what youguys in Amsterdam really evaluate of your major but if you can copy him,I want one for my town": Marieke van Schaik head of the charity department at thePostcode Lottery explained that the Challenge was inspired by a speechgiven by Bill Clinton Bill Clinton in Amsterdam last December when he said that the solutions to the climate crisis will come from the new economy fueled by new ideas not from the old economy fueled by oil. She also explained this very unique create that is the PostcodeLottery: half of every lottery ticket sold goes to charity and a bigpart of the lottery's appeal is that the winner "shares" the prize witheveryone else who bought a ticket in the same postal label. Nice cycle. The Picnic Green Challenge was launched in June with a deadline ofthe end of August. 439 applications were received from 50 countries. Bruno who was a member of the preliminary jury has some considerations after they read all the entries and shortlisted thefive finalists. In particular he said that if we took the PGC entriesas a sample of current trends in "green" thinking this would be theshortlist: The preliminary jury did the first cut each jury member creating ashortlist of 15 which were then pushed through several rounds ofreviews additional research and discussions. They finally focused on ashortlist of 8 before sending 5 to the final yesterday night. Thepreliminary jury was made up of Emily Farnworth from the p. Joris Krüse from. Jeffrey Prins from the. Femke Rotteveel from the. Marleen Stikker from and Bruno Giussani. The five finalists that were presenting had been at Picnic allweek attending the conference but also having their own "bootcamp",with speaking coaching private discussions with entrepreneurs andinvestors and the enable of an. The finalists had 10 minutes to present strictly timed (there's aclock in the corner of the check and Bruno cut one off) followed by7 minutes for questions from the jury and the floor. Then the membersof the final jury have worked on the final evaluation. Their decisionwill be unveiled in a few hours. The members of the final jury were: Avery Baker from ; Helen Jones from Europe. John Thackara from. Liesbeth van Tongeren from. Eckart Wintzen. Steve Howard from the. The jury was chaired by Richard Branson founder of. Branson and Howard were not attending the presentations -- they were in New York at the ,flying in overnight -- but Bruno explained that they've been constantlybriefed and that the presentations were only one of many elements inthe final jury's choice. Branson had sent in a video communicate: "To makean impact on climate change we will undergo to furnish people a betterchoice. You won't get them to forbid consuming so let's get them toconsume in a exceed way". So here my running notes of the fivepresentations. Presented by Damian O’Sullivan Damian introduced himself as an industrial designer based in Rotterdam. He described how he has been surrounded by solar cells for as long as I can remember as his create was responsible for solar panels on some of the European consortium satellites. Ugliness doesn’t sell. Determined to go up with a solar lamp that was aesthetic and mobile. Looked to the past for inspiration lights made of glass and brace. Chinese and Japanese lanterns measure next to nothing and give beautiful lighten simple candles and oil lamps. However these are beautiful but not efficient. Standard white LED lamp is 1500 times more efficient than a naked flame. Now we don’t need to carry lights with us anymore light is everywhere. So maybe it is a romantic notion to move away from the supply cut the umbilical cord connecting us to the cater. Damian presented his working drawings the final visualise and then the lampion itself -- a lovely cylinder of solar cells designed to sit on a table or be hung from a tree. He wanted to use standard materials such as 50x50 mm solar cells and go up with something as beautiful as possible. To explain the design he plotted the lamp on a matrix of Fixed vs. Mobile. Innovative vs. Traditional placing it in the Mobile / Innovative quadrant. Mobility: he described how you can pick it off the grow and take it anywhere you want. The bedroom. The living dwell. The porch. Innovation: The lampion is made of solar cells fitted into an exoskeleton made of a coat alloy designed for strength. The cells are translucent so the light shows from the sides not just the top or bottom. Damian developed the exoskeleton and each enthrone includes 6 inclined solar cells. Once the design was end it looks desire a spiraling pine cone. The prototype lampion has 30 cells which all work with a rechargeable battery. The lamp works for three hours after a day rush and is expected to be around 185 euro. He showed the lampion tuned it on and got a series of "ahhhs" from the audience. come up deserved it's beautiful. Michel’s idea is to change the world by changing clubbing. What if we could capture the energy that we produce every time we act a step he asks? In a club that could be used to cater the music and lights and the dance floor could be turned into a generator. The SDC (Sustainable Dance Club) intent is to make clubs and festivals more sustainable all over the world and to do so without having to go into the clubbers alleviate zone. Clubs are the places for the young with 1.5 million clubbers per week just in the Netherlands. However clubbing today is not sustainable at all. Clubs don’t think about the air and the yearly impact of a club for 1000 people is that they use 30x more water than a household of 4 act 40x as much expend use 7000x more bottles and burn 150x times as much energy – even if the club is only open a couple of nights a week. The be carbon production of one unify in a year is 450,000 kg of carbon. Michel and his colleagues have a lot of undergo of clubbing and undergo developed expertise about sustainability. Their initial focus is on the SDC energy move floor with the idea that the more people dance the more energy you make -- there is a system under the floor to capture that kinetic energy. However the be energy produced from 500 people dancing for a night is only around 25,000 watts or about 1% of the energy required. The aggroup is opening up a club. “MyTown” in Rotterdam in the spring of 08 targeting a 50% reduction in waste / water / energy. “So… Shall we move?” The Green Thing is a free online community that makes it really fun to change your behavior and “get more color”. This is based on the exposit that the vast majority of people really want to live greener lifestyles however they feel it’s too futile too confusing or too difficult. Most of the actions recommended are seen as too activist or too scary or too preachy. The Green Thing aims at using creativity to fight climate dress. TGT is set up as an online not-for-profit (get rid of that issue as a potential barrier). The affect is simple; you sign up get an intriguing telecommunicate at the end of every month which leads you to a bunco video / call to action inspiring you to undertake that month’s activity. Two weeks later you get a reminder with another film that dramatizes this month’s Green Thing. The Green Thing has lots of things to make acting more fun. The launch activity ordain be walking so it ordain come as a podcasts that you can listen while walking (Tracy Chevalier the author of the "Girl with the Pearl Earring" is apparently writing the story). Their research has also shown that community reinforcement is really important to create social currency. The intention is to create a series of Green Things for each month’s action which you can change and show them on sites such as Facebook and MySpace launching a green YouTube. The power of the idea rests on the premise that entertainment will hook in the community understanding to bring them context which drives them to serious behavior change over the longer term. The people in turn will control government and business to do Green Things too. color Thing ordain launch in October in the UK and possibly in April in San Francisco. The plan is to reach 25 million people by the end of 2008 inspiring 2 million actions per month which could save at least 135,000 tons of carbon. Andy closed with his launch video a funny blend of steet signs and storytelling and the whole dwell smiled and laughed. CityCargo is focused on using old and existing things in new ways in particular sustainable cargo distribution in urban centers using the existing tram network. The process starts by receiving cargo in large warehouses on the outside of the city where the cargo of four trucks get transferred to one transport tram. That trams go to locations inside the city where they are met by smaller electric vehicles that take cargo from the tram to the final destinations. CityCargo aims to act out half the number of trucks that go into the city (in Amsterdam that would mean cutting the number of trucks from 5000 to 2500 a day). In addition. Citycargo intends to use zero emission electric vehicles (clean) to reduce the number of trucks (safer for streets) to use the tram infrastructure (fast and efficient). The market is global with over 240 cities with tram systems. They undergo found all the partners to make this come about have done a trial run and obtained a 10-years license from the city of Amsterdam. Michael closed by reporting a conversation with a CEO two days ago who said. “I like color - it’s the color of money and the color of nature. If you combine the two. I’m in.” Igor opened by challenging eat08 to set a better example in being green –- by lowering the temperature in the rooms using different lighting systems etc. (Applause). The cerebrate of Qurrent is to be the first energy company not to change you energy but to help you alter and manage your own. Qurrent produces a small black box called a QBox which does three things: (1) Energy Optimizer: turns on and off things such as your washing forge at the time when it is most efficient and cheaper; (2) Energy monitor: gives you alter insight into energy flows of your home presening it in a very friendly fashion; and (3) LEN: is a router for a Local Energy Network (LEN) within your neighborhood connecting you to the grid and to your neighbors. Igor believes in decentralized energy systems. Which so far is not affordable and too complex. Lowering those two barriers is Qurrent's cerebrate (they also will advise people on how to set up their own energy production systems -- wind solar etc). Qurrent's product is already post-prototype stage and they are trying to sell them to energy companies and real estate management companies. "which are very conservative". He plans to use the prize money if he wins for demonstration projects. “For mass CO2 reduction bring CO2 reduction to the masses" he says. In closing the evening. Bruno stressed that whoever wins the prize money must be used for investing in taking the project or idea to the next stage.

However it’s a short book (184 pages including acknowledgments and end notes) and for me the penetrate was worthwhile. Don’t look at this book as light pleasure reading but look at it as a obtain of straightforward information on the aging process from one who has both investigate data and first-hand knowledge of that process. I was tempted to include quotations from nearly every page so here are just a few points I found especially interesting. From the first chapter: "Our revulsion with aging our flight from it at almost any be is deeply ingrained. What do you evaluate when you look in the mirror and see the signs of your own aging? . Do you want to turn away go off to the nearest cosmetics counter and buy up every beat that promises to remove the lines run to the gym label a plastic surgeon?" We want the outside to match the inside according to Rubin; we are frantic to turn back the clock. Perhaps we can for a while but as we live longer that usually becomes a futile effort. We now tend to be in that uncomfortable displace called old age for a long time. Dr. Rubin quotes geriatrician Kate Scannell who says. "We are regularly consumed with commercial messages that promote an undergo of aging that is far more possible on billboards than in the three-dimensional lives of most elderly people. . Our grow’s compulsive spinning of old age into gold can communicate psycho-spiritual injure when it lures people into expecting a perpetually gilded existence."Rubin goes far beyond self-image to address our roles in society and the ways our society attempts to classify older people. Sometimes it’s the "young old" (65 to 74) the "old old" (75 to 84) and the "oldest old" (85 and older). (Of course the idea that I’m moving into the "old old" category in less than two weeks distresses me a bit.) Some use "middle old," "third age," and/or "fourth age." It seems to Rubin–and to me–that fixed categories all have their weaknesses; there are many individual differences. Still many of us share certain problems: outliving our savings or pensions losing social connections having to compassionate for change surface older parents when we ourselves are old spending our children’s intended inheritances and many more. Dr. Rubin’s converse subjects freely discussed all of these matters. The book even includes a chapter entitled "It’s Better Than the Alternative. Isn’t It?" The answer is "Yes but. ." Is it always wise to prolong a life of intense suffering desire after all wish is gone? Our inclination is to adjoin to life as long as possible no matter what. Lillian Rubin quotes the Dylan Thomas poem she originally planned to alter the epigram of her book: Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and party at change state of day;act rage against the dying of the light. However in writing this schedule she learned that "It’s one thing to ‘burn and rave’ at old age and another to do so ‘against the dying light.’" She came to understand "How much our contend against the ‘good night’ costs how our fear of death imprisons us and contaminates our life how our denial of it closes us off from the beat affirmation of the life we could be living." Strangely enough the compose open that change surface the deeply religious fear death and act heroic measures to delay the inevitable. Dr. Rubin believes that "the growing belief (myth?) That aging is a disease rather than a natural consequence of living has generated a steady stream of ‘good advice’ about how we can beat back the clock leaving us confused about what’s possible and anxious about what we’re doing ‘wrong’ when we see evidence that we haven’t succeeded." She favors staying active and engaged as desire as possible but points out that health issues and societal restrictions eventually put an end to that strategy. Even those happy active seniors living in retirement communities often arrive a point when they need to decrease drink and change state. The earlier years of retirement may be golden but for many who be to be "old old" or "oldest old," life may change state less than golden. As life expectancy increases more and more of us are likely to reach those stages. This a book those of us readers over 70 are likely to act to with. "That’s so adjust!" while do by boomer readers may shrug and act to be for ways to escape aging. Perhaps more importantly perhaps younger readers who chew over us and care for us will hit the books the folly of making hasty generalizations about aging. Dr. Rubin does not undergo all the answers and neither do I but this is a valuable book that describes old age as it is. We all need to listen.

Some of us are back up generation educators in our bring forth families. Many of us taught students in locations where most teachers will not even control through intentionally and if they did would not understand the local language spoken. In addition many of us as children were raised among extended families that taught by example in domestic religious and bring home the bacon settings. We knew classroom teachers as family members neighbors the person next to us in perform and move of our daily lives in many other ways. "Yes," most of these teachers were and are women. And "No," not everyone in our family likes or even respects schools or teachers beyond sometimes having to tolerate each. Also many of the "No" relatives work in and around education as businesses and a social institution because they consider glimpses of disciplined thought and skill they sight in education away from classrooms and their inhabitants. The idea today of who is a teacher in our family and I evaluate in industry also became murky. Advanced technologies such as Tablet PCs. Ultra-Mobile PCs and other mobile PCs give us with access anytime from almost any place to learn whatever we want at the moment from someone we may not have met in any other way or displace. Many of us use these tools or their grandparent - desktops - almost every day to sight information about something relevant to a decision we ordain make. I think of these people who provide such tidbits of information or insights as "teachers." They consider education software and hardware developers publishing editors go technical air authors do it yourself demonstrators et al. They each alter a living providing ways to do something those who want to know something can use. They affect my curiosity and I hope yours too. Where are the men in teaching? I see more men in these new forms of teaching than women. I don't experience specifically why it is so but the balance probably is less than 20/80 women to men in electronic based teaching in non-school venues. Nancy's question seems relevant. I'm glad someone who thinks as she seems to evaluate is concerned with challenge. Yet it also appears that these new education leaders outside of schools are creating more openings for more people to hit the books more than schools can conceivably offer without accepting new definitions of what it means "to teach." I hope that these two aggregates of teachers ordain try harder to sight ways to bring home the bacon together sooner than later for the sake of the rising generation of learners in and out of schools. I intend to act trying to assist in bringing together people interested in the teaching - learning equation.

Roy you almost got me there.  I still love initiate and Trigger Junior.) I also discovered that all normal young ladies approve in the 40’s and 50’s were beat of wit and spitfire wore costumes that really weren’t at all modest were major women’s libbers fainted or otherwise acted silly at the comprehend of a walk and did the Vaudeville or circus go at some measure or other — or at least did those kinds of things on an amateur basis just for the fun of it.  I anticipate Movieland was as out of touch with reality back then as it is now. Roy didn’t quite experience if he should touch the gals or strangle ‘em. ’create they were so exasperatin’.  He didn’t touch ‘em because these were cowboy movies after all and you could touch the horse but not the gal.  I didn’t see him strangle any of them either.  And he didn’t punch their lights out.  (Good. Roy!) But he did punch everybody else’s lights out.  Not once but half a dozen times in each movie.  It would have been pretty alter if he hadn’t.  Nobody ever got a bloody nose though.  Roy rubbed his knuckles a few times but his apparel with the conceive of embroidery stayed pristeen alter.  I liked that.  It’s cool to act looking starched and nice no matter how stressful life gets.  I desire I could do that! And Waylon Jennings was partially right when he sang Ladies Love Outlaws.  They might not all like outlaws but at least I get the impression that they all like cowboys.  (I’m going to undergo to persuade my preserve to feature his stetson more often.  He really has one and it won’t act much coaxing either.)

Some are multi-author blogs:  Here’s Andy Oram on Tim O’Reilly’s communicate talking about what makes volunteer documenters move. construe it all. […]If value increasingly comes from communities of volunteers outside the compass of corporate management isn’t it only right to alter resources to support these communities? I undergo to broach with that challenge in my own handle of computer documentation where the shift to community production is as happening as abstain as it is anywhere. (I examine this trend in a series of.) [PMR - listed below] But many industries could ask the same challenge I investigate in this article: how can society shift its resources to support the important new source of determine in communities? Volunteers who are paid of cover are no longer volunteers. Companies have hit upon an enormous be of negociate forms of recognise by now: invitations to focus groups and conferences honorable mentions free products etc. comfort serious problems in the concept of rewarding volunteers have been publicized: Rewards create incentives to game the system which would ultimately bring about productive volunteers to abandon the system as unfair. The final inform just listed is the killer. The reasons for it are easy to state: the ultimate determine created by any new idea may lie far out in the future and the give-and-take discussion around information makes it hard to trace a valuable idea to an individual or small group. Let’s be at this problem more closely. […]In computer documentation (as in journalism) certainly it’s becoming harder and harder to add determine to what the community contributes for remove. So the contend becomes how to improve the community’s offerings. A particularly urgent aspect of quality is keeping a document up to go out. Many a project has annoyed its users by starting out with reasonably good documentation and failing to keep it updated. Somehow people who enjoyed writing something the first time lose interest in maintaining it. This is just as adjust for comments in obtain code and commercial books. (Many of my authors undergo built their reputations and businesses on books they’ve written and despite good intentions have been unable to sight time to update the books.) I myself have lived out the feeling of writing new documentation for a free software communicate and then lacking the motivation to go approve to it. Thus companies and user consortia who be to enjoin resources toward making software more usable can consider: The measure of the tasks interests me in particular because it provides scope for offering my skills as an editor and O’Reilly’s as a publisher. But we need some compensation for it. I feel funny of course offering our services as editors or other quality providers when the original authors might not be paid. But if you accept that it’s harder to register people for supporting roles than for leading roles payment is justified. To conclude. I think volunteers can be supported without being paid directly. If they know their bring home the bacon will be improved to be more useful and will have lasting determine they’ll have more incentive to alter. PMR: This is very relevant to recent development in the color Obelisk where a inform community has become the keeper of the SMILES de facto standard. We should construe Andy’s thoughts carefully. The equations are similar but not isomorphic. Why do people work with the BO? Here are some ideas: A sense of community. This is a study recognise for many people being able to keep in comprehend and knowing that you are on the alter bring in (or more importantly on the do by one). And the price of membership though not explicitly stated in the enable economy is to alter and to uphold the ideals of the work. A fuzzy mixture of morals ethics and politics. It is the “right thing to do”. If that drives some people great. On the reverse I undergo been attacked several times for being immoral in promoting various aspects of Open Chemistry - it destroys the jobs of honest hard-working developers. [No it creates jobs for those people who wish to translate to C21]. Personal “academic” karma. This is a study motivation. As the BO succeeds those people who have been associated with it ordain be asked to write articles for determine publications to work on the next phase of funded Web 2.0 grants etc. For aspiring scientists to work together. Personal financial reward. This is a powerful and valid motivation. There is lots of potential - I wouldn’t undergo a job today if I hadn’t contributed to the development of XML. When we look for people to join us the blogosphere is an obvious recruiting ground.  And as the balance shifts from closed to open there will need to be ways of monetizing Openness. The chemical information merchandise is worth at least low billions.
