There are a number of practices I cultivate on a regular basis to draw from on those days I most need to host myself. In the midst of feeling challenged or feeling hooked, hosting myself usually starts with a noticing that I’m feeling “off” or hooked, acknowledging something is “rumbling” in me that I have not yet named and am not yet able to articulate with any clarity.

Emerging findings in neuroscience research suggest why inspiring and supportive relationships are important -- they help activate openness to new ideas.
Once considered science fiction, the ability to do 3D printing – to produce objects on demand at relatively low cost – has become a reality. And the trend is going to pick up steam in 2013. Forbes reports. Here’s a look at 10 trends to watch in 3D printing next year and beyond.
Good news from Germany: A ‘global transformation of values has already begun’. It’s proving tough to leverage changing attitudes into sustainable behaviour — but a transition to a more sustainable society ‘would be welcomed by a significant part of world society’. In a 400-page report called World in Transition: A Social Contract for Sustainability, the German Advisory Council on Climate Change (WGBU), the heavyweight scientific body that advises the German Federal Government on ‘Earth System Megatrends’, reviewed a wide-range of values surveys. A significant majority of the German population, it found, views growth and capitalism with scepticism and ‘does not believe in the resilience of market-driven economic systems’. This post-materialist thinking is not limited to the well-off and educated. In South Korea, Mexico, Brazil, India, and China, the report also found, a significant majority supports ambitious climate protection measures, and ‘would welcome a new economic system’ to achieve that.

For 3D printing to make its way into the mainstream, science needs to give us materials that can do more than just be hardened plastic. Researchers at the University of Warwick have just taken a huge step in the right direction with the introduction of a 3D-printable electrically conductive plastic. They’re calling it “carbomorph.”
From the roots of the word Economy as the 'Rules of the household' into a whole fluent explanation of how we should look at nature's cero waste economy to design or economic system. She says -We never really had a science of economics- She ends with speaking about a gift currency of how money is issued to make the transaction happens but disappears afterwards. Highest evolution is a gifted currency.

In a 2010 study on the effects of failure and success on organizational learning, a team of researchers found that failure was a crucial ingredient for longer term success. Failure isn't the goal, however, when it happens we can either run from it or celebrate it.

Good talk by Delia Dumitrescu about her roadtrip to innovation.
“Peer production needs to grow beyond the immaterial into the material world, producing not just information, but also physical goods and services. But is that even possible? The reproduction of physical things is possible if three conditions are met: * you need access to the complete design, * to the required resources and * to the necessary means of production. In the following section, Michel Bauwens trys to briefly outline how generalized peer production may become able to fulfill these conditions.”

Ein tolles Projekt. Auf der Webseite bzw. mit den Tools dort, kann man sich seinen eigenen Stuhl designen. Man kann mit einem leeren Blatt beginnen, oder auf den Designs anderer aufbauen. Die Software erlaubt es auch den Stuhl auf seine Statik und Stabilität zu überprüfen, bzw. die Modelle anderer einfach in den gewünschten Dimensionen zu skalieren! Produziert wird dann mittels CNC-Fräse. Must see!
