Toute la vie d'un montagnard qui aurait rêvé de ne jamais quitter son domaine, sa montagne, ses forêts, et qui a dû malgré tout partir et laisser tout cela pour essayer de vivre une vie qu'il pensait normale, en ville.Ayant tout lâché pour revenir dans sa véritable existence, la seule qu'il aime et connaisse, mais vieillissant et malade, il revoit toute sa vie, ses amis, sa famille avec toutes les insertions correspondantes d'histoires, anecdotes et aventures vécues ou entendues depuis sa prime enfance...Peu à peu, au fur et à mesure de toutes ses réminiscences, il parvient doucement à se mouvoir et à se préparer pour sa dernière marche en montagne, dans la fameuse grotte découverte dans son enfance, la grotte secrète, qui est depuis toujours pour lui la Barme de l'ours.Accompagné de ses souvenirs, fatigué de vivre, il s'en va...

Parfois ou très souvent, les situations de la vie nous mettent sous le poids de la terre. Et toute belle histoire n'est jamais assez bonne tant qu'il n'y a pas au détriment d'un quelconque drame à un instant T, un bout d'incident pour pimenter notre vie ou même notre vécu.De "La traversée nocturne" à "Les tresses d'une vie" jusqu'à "Le Journal Noir", chacune de ces nouvelles nous étalent à différents degrés, les conséquences que peuvent avoir nos actes ; les coups de la vie qui nous rappelle que la vie d'un être peut basculer du jour au lendemain ; mais aussi le caractère animalier qui peut être caché en l'espèce humaine puisqu'étant inné en chacun. Et dans "Le Journal Noir" la mort trouve toute sa raison d'être, son essence essentiel parfois à la vie. Entre amour et jalousie, haine et colère, sincérité et culpabilité, abstraction ou réalité ; chaque personnage de ce bouquin s'y sent bien concerner. C'est un recueil de nouvelles qui narre un vécu d'une psychologue qui était partagée entre la vie et la mort sur un lit d'hôpital à travers "Les tresses d'une vie" mais aussi qui mélange fiction et existentialité à travers "La traversée nocturne" et "Le Journal Noir".

Depuis le début de l'exploration des mondes sous-marins, les découvertes vont de surprises en surprises : Les archéologues ont découvert au fond de la mer de Galilée en Israël une pyramide géante de forme conique construite à partir de blocs de basalte et de roches. La pyramide pèse quelque 60 000 tonnes et a 10 m de haut. Selon certaines hypothèses, de telles constructions ont été utilisées comme tombeaux. La pyramide mystérieuse a été détecté pour la première fois en été 2003 pendant l¿échosondage du fond de la mer. Ensuite elle a été étudiée par des plongeurs. Vous connaissez naturellement les pyramides d¿Égypte, la plupart des pyramides.

On impose la paix non seulement par le feu, mais aussi par le mouillage d'encre sur papier. Je vois dans mes rêves poétiques une sorte de fleuve qui inonde mon pays. Ce fleuve dont sa source est dans un point de la poussière, coule de l'Est vers le centre. Il ravageant non sans égal et les habitants et leurs biens matériels. Moi, assis sur un mirador, je tente de jetter un regard ensorcelé dans l'intimité de ce fleuve. Je dénonce par mes vers un plan machiavélique d'un bébé contre sa mère, du troupeau contre son berger, d'un portier contre son patron, de la vigne contre le vigneron, du poisson contre l'eau, ... Je dénonce le majeur conducteur du naufrage de la mort dans la terrasse qui mène chez moi. Ce conducteur-là, qui se passe pour mon fils montre son air arrogant envers ma personne.J'ouvre la porte des horizons étoilés dans l'azur, d'une paradisiaque image du royaume céleste. Le ciel bleu me couvre le cerveau, inonde mes rêves et mes passions que je partage avec vous, mes frères. Je projette un avenir radieux ; je saisis l'aurore de l'horizon que j'arrose dans mon pays. La paix-même chantée dans mes vers.

We are currently witnessing the emergence of a ¿third culture¿, driven by unprecedented developments that are changing the playing field. These include advances in AI, big data analysis and robotics. The traditional ¿two cultures¿ view (S. P. Snow) distinguishes between the sciences and the humanities. The wisdoms these two cultures offer are separated from each other, with little to no interaction or mutual comprehension. However, over the past two decades, and for the first time in human history, a new, third culture has appeared. This new culture, rooted in new technologies, not only pursues its own form of rationality but also supports advances in the original two cultures, deepening and expanding our individual and collective consciousness so that we can see more and do better. It will eventually give rise to new forms of consciousness based not on biochemical signals, but on copper wires and lithium chips. These new machine intelligences will change the world and force us to realise: we are no longer alone. The human species¿ position in the twenty-first century will be fundamentally redefined: not as a conductor leading the orchestra, but a single string player within it.

This book offers a unique, critical exploration of concepts and practices of social sustainability through both a critical concept analysis as well as empirical studies of practices that undermine social sustainability. It addresses the questions: What is the main role of social relations and social practice in the transition from fundamentally unsustainable societies and local practices towards a sustainable future? And how does economical sustainability reduce or enhance social sustainability? The chapters in this work define and understand social sustainability in relation to principles such as solidarity, community, welfare, reciprocity, and regenerative co-existence. These principles are analyzed through the lens of emotions, respect, carefulness, sensitivity, and art, to establish counter-principles and narratives to principles like growth, efficiency, capitalism, and mastery of nature. Such counter-narratives to mainstream understandings and histories of economy aid in shedding light on a variety of different aspects of sustainability. The book presents a methodological plurality including conceptual and empirical approaches, praxis-oriented and inductive approaches. The chapters present interdisciplinary approaches concerning welfare, ecology, sociology, organization and economy, social psychology and aesthetics and therefore appeal to a broad audience of scholars and academics.

The book is about accountability processes and how they contribute solutions to our current environmental and global political problems. This book is different to other literature in this field. This is so because the dominant accountability discourse is shaped by what is defined as a neoliberal business case for social and environmental reform. This book assumes a nirvana stance within globalisation where all citizens operate within the parameters of the free market and will recover from adverse economic and political damage. Further this book uses neoliberalism and free-market reforms aims as examples to implement efficient management technologies and create more competitive pressures. Central to the argument of the book are perspectives on authenticity, expressivism and interpretivism which are found to provide a radical reworking of our understanding of being in the world. These frameworks offer a starting point for rethinking the way individuals, businesses and communities ought to be dealing politically with accountability and ecological crises. The argument builds to an accountability perspective that utilises work from expressivism, interpretivism, classical liberalism and postmodern theory. The theoretical quest undertaken in this book is to develop connections between accountability, democratic, ethical and ecological perspectives.

Dieses Open-Access-Buch gibt aktuelle interdisziplinäre Forschungseinblicke rund um das Fab City-Konzept. Ein Ansatz, der beschreibt, wie Produktions- und Konsumptionsweisen gestaltet werden können, sodass einerseits globale Kollaboration in und durch Communities von der Ideengenerierung bis zur Produktentwicklung physischer Güter mittels quelloffener Technologien (Open Source Software und Hardware) ermöglicht wird und andererseits die Produktion dieser Güter lokal und somit möglichst nahe am Ort des Bedarfs sowie dezentral im Sinne einer verteilten Produktion erfolgen kann, beispielsweise in Fab(rication) Labs. Ziel ist die Schaffung einer möglichst nachhaltigen Produktion bzw. Wertschöpfung. Ökologisch nachhaltig, indem lange Transportwege vermieden und auf Grundlage von Kreislaufprinzipien lokale Stoffkreisläufe geschlossen werden. Ökonomisch nachhaltig, indem durch quelloffene Technologien Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen und durch föderierte Ansätze Abhängigkeiten vermieden werden. Sozial nachhaltig durch ein partizipatives Wertschöpfungssystem, in dem der Zugang zu Wissen und Knowhow sowie zu Produktionsmitteln unbeschränkt ist. Über den gesamten Produktentstehungsprozess und -lebenszyklus enthält das vorliegende, bilinguale Werk in deutscher und englischer Sprache Beiträge aus den Bereichen Citizen & Collaborative Innovation and Design, Circular Design & Economy, Open-Source-Software-Tools für die Entwicklung von Open Source Hardware, Digital Product Passport, föderierte (Open-Source-) Systeme, die Verbreitung von Open Source Hardware sowie technical literacy und economic governance.Prof. Neil Gershenfeld, Director of MIT¿s Center for Bits and Atoms, and Chairman of the board of The Fab Foundation:¿For many years the growth of cities has been an inexorable trend, with cities acting as regional magnets and engines;the resources enabling a Fab City can also help expand opportunity beyond cities. There is now an opportunity and need for labs that can develop, deploy, and measure the frontiers of Fab City technologies. This book provides a much-needed snapshot of the current state of that challenge.¿Tomas Diez, Executive Director of the Fab City Foundation: ¿This book is an invitation for large-scale collaboration to build distributed system that can support the development of alternative modes of production, in line with the social and ecological needs of our time.¿

Shilajit or salajeet is natural organic-mineral product of predominantly natural biological origin, formed in the mountains (in mountain crevices and caves). Shilajit is a sticky, tar-like substance found in the rocks of the Himalayas, Altai, Caucasus, and other mountain ranges. Shilajit is not derived from a plant, instead, it is a complex organic-mineral substance that oozes out of the rocks in mountainous regions. The formation of Shilajit is a result of the decomposition of plant and microbial matter over centuries. Shilagit has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries and is believed to have various health benefits. It is often consumed as a dietary supplement and is rich in minerals, and other organic compounds.

Effective leadership is a commitment to interaction and connection with people, some of whom are difficult to deal with on occasion.One thing I have learned over many years, in a variety of leadership and team roles, is conflict naturally happens when people come together. Conflict results when people with varying viewpoints, cultures, experiences and agendas attempt to connect or co-operate in a relationship, a venture or even a common cause of great importance. CONFLICT is simply a bi-product of the interaction and connection between people. Handling it effectively is a part of the leadership process! Resolve to be an 'effective' leader and welcome 'creative conflict' as an opportunity to help your team grow and succeed. Canada's Ideaman, Bob Hooey, partners with committed leaders and organizations to equip and motivate for profitable grown and enhanced success. He teaches secrets of idea-rich business and leadership development built on solid foundations and taking strategic action.He is the prolific author of 33 business and leadership success books and travels the world sharing his innovative Ideas At Work! Creative Conflict Idea-rich leadership strategies for team success.

The book brings together perspectives on entrepreneurship research, education and practice to understand social entrepreneurship in its wider societal, political and economic context. Its unique contribution comes from its interdisciplinary approach that spans from the societal to the organizational level, with specific focus social innovation and management. It views management of social entrepreneurship and social enterprise in light of its societal context and employs social innovation to critically assess social entrepreneurship as driver of change. The emergence of social entrepreneurship as an academic field is linked to several societal trends such as public austerity, financial crises, new social challenges and a growing counter-movement to globalised capitalism. Generally seen as organisations serving both social and economic objectives, social enterprises, social innovation and social entrepreneurship have their roots in civil society, civic activism or the solidarityeconomy, but also manifest themselves as for-profit companies, with new organisational forms emerging and old ones changing. The contributions in this book elucidate these developments and the role of social entrepreneurs and social enterprises. Furthermore, the book offers great insight into the specific ways of managing, leading and creating innovation in social enterprises as well as perspectives on how to understand their social impact or value creation.

This book investigates the lived experience of CEOs in their quest for wholeness and presents a model of spiritual intelligence for contemporary leadership. The experience of ethical and spiritual crisis in the post-modern society especially in organizational leadership, calls for deeper quest and spiritual intelligence. Four essential themes emerged from the analysis of the in-depth interviews with top leaders of different organizations across the globe: (1) Sensing Crisis, (2) Embracing Crisis (3) Awakening Hidden Wholeness, (4) and Serving Greater Good. From the analysis of the themes, a model of spiritual intelligence and leadership wholeness is constructed. This Spiritual Intelligence Model portrays the intra-dynamics of leaders¿ ongoing quest for wholeness penetrating through their existential, learning, spiritual, and moral dimensions of being and the five ethical dimensions of wholeness permeating through the personal, organizational, social, global, and environmental spheres of life. This book gives a fresh perspective on spiritual intelligence and leadership practice today.
