SOMEthing to THINK ABOUT

the reshaping of the Middle-East

Embedded journalism in Aleppo (Syria). Very brave or suicidal camera-men under sniper-fire. Urban warfare and a ghost city, where the poor, who had no money to flee the city, try to survive in the warzone. The rebels are only lightly armed, so they say. Random shootings and the sound of an approaching tank. Then a dramatic scene. An 18-year boy is carrying a heavy machine-gun. He cannot handle it. Suddenly the machinegun starts firing. Almost killing a group of fellow-warriors.

Allah akbar.



And they need heavier weapons?



THINK PEACE, ACT PEACE.

The First Nation of Aamjiwnaang’s burial grounds is located in Sarnia, Ontario. These people have been there for hundreds of years. And about 70 years ago, they got some great new neighbors. The first thing you notice when you visit Sarnia, Ontario, is the smell. Imagine a mixture of gasoline, melting asphalt, and a trace of rotten egg smacking you in the face and crawling up your nose every time you breathe. It’s a cocktail that will make you unpleasantly high and dizzy.
De grootste Europese autofabrikant Volkswagen laat mens en robot voor het eerst schouder aan schouder werken tijdens de productie.

Volkswagen doet al langer een beroep op robots, maar die werden altijd door beschermende kappen afgezonderd van het werkvolk.

Daar komt nu verandering in: in de motorenfabriek in het Duitse Salzgitter werkt een robotarm zij aan zij samen met mensen. De machine helpt bij de inbouw van gloeikaarsen.
De robot moest voldoen aan speciale veiligheidsvoorschriften om te mogen samenwerken met mensen.
De Deense producent Universal Robots spreekt van de eerste "samenwerkende robot" bij Volkswagen. De autofabrikant bevestigt dat. (Belga/MI)

WHAT HAPPENED IN 1163


SiTU ALERT: THINK PEACE


CAN'T YOU HEAR THE

THUNDER?

Streets of New York

Nowhere in America do poverty and wealth exist so closely to one another as in New York City. Even from the darkest corners of Brooklyn, one need only look up and across the East River to see the great temples of Wall Street wealth looming over the night. Since the birth of the city, New York’s poorest residents, whether Irish, Jewish, black, or Puerto Rican, have made their own gold from the streets of the city. Sometimes the elements of crime were needed to harvest this gold.

Eye-movement tracking 

Eye-movement tracking
Het volgen van oogbewegingen wordt al langer in neurowetenschappelijke onderzoeken gebruikt om te weten te komen hoe mensen naar afbeeldingen kijken, hoe ze gezichten bestuderen en waar hun aandacht op gefocussed is bij specifieke situaties. Deze kennis wordt onder andere ingezet voor marketingdoeleinden (neuromarketing), maar ook nieuwe devices ontwikkelen toepassingen waarbij gebruik gemaakt wordt van oogbewegingen.
Zo maakt de Samsung Galaxy S4 gebruik van eye-tracking technologie waardoor het scherm "bestuurd" kan worden door oogbewegingen en verscheen er op Smartplanet een artikel over de nieuwe training software Mindflash, waarbij de online training op een tablet automatisch stopt of vertraagd wanneer iemand wegkijkt van het scherm. 
Dit lijken me leuke toepassingen, maar ik werd er door aan het denken gezet. Wat als Google besluit om eye-tracking te integreren in Google Glass, zouden we dan straks mee gaan maken dat adverteerders moeten gaan betalen per seconde dat iemand naar een advertentie kijkt. En dan zou je ook kunnen denken aan betalen voor content die aangeboden wordt via Google Glass, maar dat je dan alleen betaalt voor wat je daadwerkelijk bekijkt. Het geeft in ieder geval een andere dimensie aan "pay per view".

Raine Island is a harsh cradle for new life for thousands of Pacific green turtles that come to nest each year. Waiting for them is one of the ocean's most ferocious predators - the tiger shark.

Let's meditate on this.

Marilyn Monroe: the unseen files

A new book reveals the extraordinary contents of Marilyn Monroe's private filing cabinets, thought lost for over 40 years after her death


Studio print from the Marilyn Monroe archive - Marilyn Monroe archives
Detail of a test print from the Marilyn Monroe archive Photo: MARK ANDERSON
In November 2005 Millington Conroy, a businessman living in Rowland Heights, 40 miles east of Los Angeles, contacted Mark Anderson, a successful magazine photographer, to discuss an unusual commission.
He had in his possession two metal filing-cabinets, one brown, one grey, containing private papers and a collection of furs, jewellery and other assorted memorabilia, all belonging to Marilyn Monroe. Would Anderson be interested in photographing the collection?
The material – about 10,000 documents – had been thought lost for more than 40 years since the death of Monroe on the night of 4 August 1962. Now, here it was, a treasure trove, languishing in a Californian suburb.
It was the commission of a lifetime, the largest undocumented Monroe archive in existence. Yes, of course Anderson was interested, and, with the help of the biographer and Monroe aficionado Lois Banner, he set about creating a record of the archive's contents, which is now to be published for the first time as a book.
There are letters from Monroe glowing with admiration for Robert Kennedy; a half-finished love letter to her ex-husband Joe DiMaggio found in her room after she died from a drug overdose; unseen pictures of Monroe as a child and young woman; touching fan mail; rare insights into her marriage to the playwright Arthur Miller; and extensive documentation of her squabbles with the Hollywood studio Twentieth Century-Fox.

SiTU MEMO: MAJESTIC 12

Membership


All the alleged original members of MJ-12 were notable for their military, government, and/or scientific achievements, and all were deceased when the documents first surfaced (the last to die was Jerome Hunsaker, only a few months before the MJ-12 papers first appeared).

The original composition was six civilians (mostly scientists), and six high-ranking military officers, two from each major military service. Three (Souers, Vandenberg, and Hillenkoetter) had been the first three heads of central intelligence. The Moore/Shandera documents did not make clear who was the director of MJ-12, or if there was any organizational hierarchy.

The named members of MJ-12 were:
