My TED Talk about the role humans play in the digitization game!
Half of the jobs today did not exist 20 years ago - at the beginning of the digital revolution. And now, as we enter the next stage of technolgical growth. the half-life of our jobs will be cut in half again. Exponential computing power and intelligent algorithms drive human productivity into another dimension and new technologies disrupt long established business models before lunch. How come only a small digital elite sees the potential while the majority of people is either afraid, ignorant or overconfident when it comes to our the digital future? The answer is deeply routed in our middle class intellectual way of thinking of how to educate our children and how to live a successful life. It is not the technology but our mindsets that threaten our future wellbeing.
The challenge is to disrespect those traditional middle class values, throw our outdated career concepts over bord and encourage our talents to be more entrepreneurial. We need to start now. We need to start encouraging people to become leaders and change the game. We have to enable people to be more gritty. To be more persistent. To take responsibility for themselves. Then they will learn by themselves and master change.

A native of Fukuoka, Japan, San Francisco-based singer-songwriter Maya Hall’s initial encounters with music – like many musicians who go on to make a career of it – began early - and naturally. Maya’s inner nightingale first blossomed via sing-a-long videos her parents bought for her when she was young, and, in the process, taught her basic English skills. At the incredibly early age of 6, she got a cassette player/tape recorder and independently started recording herself singing harmonies on top of the recordings. Japanese Karaoke Boxes were common hang out haunts in Maya’s teen years, and she and her friends frequented them after school and sailing activities- whenever they got the chance, and, it provided her a platform to sing her heart out. During her college years and before her move to the US, she soon became musically recognized in her community, taking part in a variety of different acts in Fukuoka and Tokyo. It was during this period she began to truly begin to create a foundation for her artistry and intrinsically sculpting her personal musical style. Today, it has grown to encompass a conglomeration of contemporary jazz (Norah Jones), folksy singer-songwriters (Joni Mitchell) and gentle, introspective Indie rock (Fiona Apple, Sharon Van Etten, Keren Ann).
Maya took her first major leaps in her journey with music after moving from her small seaside town to the metropolis of Tokyo. Fresh on the heels of a 10+-year stint with a collegiate competitive sailing team, one afternoon Maya strolled the streets of Tokyo’s Koiwa neighborhood where she lived and noticed a new “Live Jazz Bar/Café” that had opened. She spotted the owner of the café pouring coffee in a fashionable manner, also noticed on the wide-open heavy steel door was a flyer posted: “Looking for bands and players. Book a Show!”. Noticing there were no customers, Maya felt herself magnetically getting sucked into the café.
“As soon as I walked in, to my own surprise, I directly announced to the owner, ‘I saw the flyer outside and I want to sing’,” Maya wistfully recalls. “I was so nervous. He looked slightly surprised by my odd approach. But then he picked up a nearby guitar and asked me if I wanted to sing a song.” She chose the Norah Jones version of the classic jazz standard “Nearness of You”, and sang along coyly and bewitchingly.
And that was that. The humble, serendipitous beginnings of Maya’s singing career. Without delay, the owner invited Maya to join the Jazz Jam Session Night that was held every Thursday night at the “live bar” club. Still building up her confidences, these thrilling jazz nights became her first experiences singing in front of crowds which, thus far, was the most terrifying experience she has ever had – floating about in a new Country with different ideas and customs. She immediately became a regular performer at the Jazz bar.
But, greater shores were beckoning, and in 2014 a wide-eyed, shy Japanese girl arrived fresh faced and full of ambition in the enchanted City by the Bay in the US – San Francisco. Knew she had the urge to pursue her growing musical desires and ambitions although ,other than that, had no real direction in mind other than setting herself on a new Californian adventure, one rife with bigger musical pastures.
Although she was new to the land and the people, she quickly began performing at open mic nights (her first was at SF/s legendary Hotel Utah) and performed her first official U.S. show at Bazaar Cafe. The evolved into forging valuable connections within Bay Area music circles, becoming an integral part of the local singer-songwriter set. All of these connections let to Maya finding herself in the studio in 2015 to work on her debut album with Tommy P (11 Ave Records), a local producer and singer-songwriter she met in the SF songwriter community. She released her highly-anticipated debut record in April 2016. Today, Maya continues to play shows in San Francisco, albeit at larger renounced clubs such as Brick and Mortar, Bottom of the Hill, Doc’s Lab and Neck of the Woods, The Lost Church.
Maya Hall is currently working on her 2nd studio album and plans to branch out with a cross—country U.S. tour, to share her unforgettable music with other regions of the States.

Ali Zülfikar, born in 1970 in Turkey, studied at the Firat University. When we look at his pictures, the first thought is: A masterpiece. About 140 international exhibitions worldwide as well as numerous films about his life and his art are already known to us. Zülfikars works now decorate the Contemporary Art Fair in Paris Cutlog 2013. There are portraits full of power and strength which are held in black and white tones. Zülfikar treats their structures with a special essence that is used in movement of natural kilim dye. With this type of design he makes the image surfaces cracked.
The contours are breaking and it creates fissures and gorges. Those effectsrealise in his portraits the faces of older people: A true viewing experience! Zülfikar provides credible the age rings of human life on display and demonstrates an aesthetic of mature existence: Graceful faces that proudly represent their scars and wounds and radiate wisdom.
A second issue is that Zülfikar is fascinated by trees. His formation of the branches, processed with the same cracks, provide a special magic here. A blood-red resinous tribe, whose bark is torn and worn, bears the title “A part of me”. The traces of color are like the colors of a storm, a force of nature that pulls us over.
A poetry in pictures with the feeling that the life force of the tree is inseparably connected with us. The symbiosis between humans and the world of plants describes his oeuvre. All his work is dedicated to the experience of existence. Older men and women are similar to tall trees that may show their age rings with majesty. The most outstanding portrait of an old woman seems to be one thing with a golden curtain, which acts as the background of the image.
At the same time, you may think that this area is a part of her hair. Fascinating is the creativity Zülfikars who can be completely lost in the faces of the human world. In addition to the large-scale paintings that repeatedly re-interpret the age issue and which are similar to lithographs, one picture jumps completely out of line, it’s the portrait and figurative painting. It doesn’t tie in with traditions but with a great sense of presence and a deep understanding of the three-dimensionality of space.
For a comprehensive flood of media images that acts predominantly in the two-dimensionality on us, we are literally littered, Zülfikars works are downright opposed to their spatial depth, which is a rare quality in painting today.
The process of life cannot stop in front of it – a bold but harmonious break in style. Zülfikar is like a painting philosopher, who is dedicated to the cycle of birth and death on more diverse way. Alberto Giacometti has described it as: “…It is the space that you dig to create the object and in turn the object creates the space. Is the space itself which is located between the model and the sculptor.” What does Giacometti mean with the space located between the model and the artist? A “space consciousness”? So it seems to me, because that is what Ali Zülfikar creates: a deep subtle visual space in a mysterious silence. He seems to have not only created that space between them (the artist) and his model but also newly discovered by the colors and techniques. But this space is not based exclusively on his painting works: This space is shown as an image of dreams and is created layer by layer out from the depths of the image, captured in perspective and at the same time becoming free. So I see Zülfikars painting, which arises out of itself and develops to their own color and structure by itself. I am also drawn into the spell of Zülfikars pictures: I cannot stop looking at them. The given light is green, cold, spherical and dramatically as if Zülfikar decided at times that there is no change and no turning back. We are connected with his figurative paintings that infuse the room. It becomes clearly with the structural quality of the painting that arises from such a mysterious sphere, slowly emerging from antiquity, from a forest, a time or of a dream.

Introduction The current structure and characteristics of mountain beech forests in Italy are the results of long-term human-forest relationships that developed over centuries (Savoia, 1984; Nocentini, 2009). While in Italy today coppice and high forest management are found almost equally, in the Emilia-Romagna region, North Italy, it is coppice that prevails (about 80%), located mainly in its mountain areas (Regione Emilia-Romagna, 1983). The main reason for this situation has been the past charcoal production, recognizable by the bushy form of the trees due to their suckers and by the presence of abandoned man-made platforms within the undergrowth, places where ancient human societies had transformed the wood into charcoal.Charcoal platforms are considered real archaeological sites and the anthracological study of the charcoal fragments contained in their substrate is able to provide information on the previous forest composition and on the history of forest exploitation and management practice.Early studies about charcoal platforms were conducted in the Pyrenees (Davasse, 1992; 2000; Bonhôte et al ., 2002). More recently, charcoal kiln studies have spread throughout Europe, particularly in Germany ( e.g. Nelle, 2003; Pèlachs et al. , 2009; Ludemann, 2010; Paradis-Grenouillet, 2012; Deforce et al. , 2013; Knapp et al. , 2013; Rouaud, 2013; Tolksdorf et al. , 2015).In Italy, charcoal kiln studies have been few, anthracological analysis on charcoal platforms having been carried out in the Ligurian Apennines (Montanari et al ., 2000; Cevasco and Parola, 2013; Pescini et al ., 2017). Other researches have focused on the census of charcoal platforms in Tuscany, Central Italy (Carrari et al ., 2017). This article presents the frst anthracological analysis applied to charcoal platforms found in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines at high altitude, specifcally in the abandoned Volume IX ● Issue 2/2018 ● Pages 169 –178 *Corresponding author. E-mail: aleben87@yahoo.it ARTICLE INFO Article history: Received: 2 nd July 2018Accepted: 30 th December 2018 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/ 10.24916/iansa.2018.2.4 Key words: anthracologyTuscan-Emilian Apennineshigh elevationethnographic researchhistorical-social elements ABSTRACT Anthracological analyses were carried out on charcoal platforms located in the Monte Cimone and Corno alle Scale mountain areas in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines (Northern Italy), at high altitude. Analyses of charcoal fragments contained in these man-made structures have allowed the reconstruction of human-forest relationships over the last centuries, in particular the exploitation of forests for charcoal production. Comparison of our anthracological results with ethnobotanical and historical-social information has made possible an improvement in our knowledge of this activity that was fundamental for the past mountain economy.

Gary Brand is a Marin County-based photographer and architect.
Walk patiently along a few ocean beaches in the Bay Area, and you just might find objects of stunning beauty that also provide clues to a lost world, fossil sand dollars that are as much as 2 million years old. These fossils, not shells but skeletons called tests, show up only near Daly City and Point Reyes, so it’s a privilege to find intact specimens that have survived the rigors of the coast for many centuries.

Everything is about work safety.
The contractor carries the full responsibility to test the operating resources and the equipment for their correct condition. It is mandatory to repeat-test all electrical devices in your company according to BGV A3 DGUV since 01.01.1998. The legislator has adopted this regulation in the Code of Social Law (§ 209 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 SGB VII).
The test should not only protect you and your employees from the dangers with the handling of electrical devices but also against the liabilities in the case of accidents, caused by defective machines, and herewith against the economic damages that come as a result of this. Only the proof of the correctly executed test can release you from the liability.
Timely reporting and if necessary the implementation of maintenance and servicing appointments for your facilities and operating material.

Myra Oh (@myraoh) is a charming, talented, and sought-after (hello 47.8k IG followers!) female tattooer based in Florida. She is known for her black and grey designs that mix traditional tattoo styles with softer floral elements. Her studio is filled with plants, minimal design, and the best soothing music for getting needles poked into you (think Best Coast and Real Estate on repeat). She recently opened her own studio, Swan Tattoo, in Jacksonville.
I’m Myra Oh, I’m a woman, a tattooer, a printmaker, an illustrator, a small business owner, a plant collector, and a Californian who loves Florida.
I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for the first 20 years of my life. I started attending The Academy of Art’s weekend and summer classes in San Francisco when I was in the 9th grade. In 2002 I attended the Oxbow School, a single semester art program in Napa, Ca. I continued on to San Jose State University for a couple of years before dropping out. I started my tattoo apprenticeship when I moved to Jacksonville, Fl in the summer of 2007. My interest in tattooing started in high school when I began making friends that had tattoos and I went to a tattoo parlor for the first time.
I wish more women were pursuing careers and lifestyles that make them happy, without fear of judgment for adhering to or breaking social norms/gender roles.
I’m not aware of any misconceptions people might have about me, I don’t really know what people say about me, I hope only good things, haha.
Tokyo, because of its ability to be calm and busy at the same time, the graceful flow of millions of people commuting around the city. So crowded, yet pleasant, I’ve never seen anything like it.

Thomas F. Cadwalader Jr., an insurance agent and World War II veteran wounded in the D-Day invasion of France, died Monday of prostate cancer at Joseph Richey House in Baltimore.
The former Tuxedo Park resident was 94.
Mr. Cadwalader was born in 1912 at a West Mount Royal Avenue home to parents who traced their lineage to a Declaration of Independence signer and a Revolutionary War general.
"He was a very modest man, and a man of the utmost integrity. A very loyal friend," said his wife of 61 years, the former Phyllis Jane "Jonnie" Clegg Norrie.
Mr. Cadwalader grew up mostly at the family's second home in Harford County, graduated from Gilman Country School in 1930 and earned a bachelor's degree in 1934 from the University of Pennsylvania, where he also played lacrosse.
An experienced horseman, Mr. Cadwalader enlisted in the Maryland National Guard's 110th Field Artillery regiment and quickly landed an insurance agent job with Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company.
He entered active duty in February 1941 and served in Europe from October 1942 until September 1945 with the 110th Field Artillery Battalion of the 29th Division.
While riding a train to London on leave on Nov. 28, 1943, Mr. Cadwalader struck up a conversation with the woman who would later become his wife. The two agreed to write. They wrote for two years and were married in his wife's hometown of Jersey on the Channel Islands in January 1946.
When he landed on Omaha Beach in Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944, Mr. Cadwalader was serving as an artillery liaison officer with the second battalion of the 115th Infantry. While directing artillery fire from high in a tree the next day, a German sniper shot him in both hands. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.
After he recovered, Mr. Cadwalader rejoined the 110th Battalion and was discharged as a captain on Dec. 19, 1945. He retired from the Maryland National Guard as a colonel in 1958. He worked as an insurance agent until his retirement in 1972.
Throughout his life, Mr. Cadwalader was active in charitable organizations. He was on the boards of The Benevolent Society of the City and County of Baltimore and St. Paul's School for Girls. In addition, he was a founding member of St. Stephen's Traditional Episcopal Church.
Mr. Cadwalader remained active later in life by playing tennis, winning medals in the sport during the 1999 Senior Olympics.
Services will be held at 11 a.m. tomorrow at St. Stephen's Traditional Episcopal Church in Timonium.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by a brother, Benjamin R. Cadwalader of Gibson Island; a son, Robert Norrie Cadwalader, of Linthicum Heights; daughters Elizabeth Jane Cadwalader of Baltimore and Sophia Francis Hayes of West Chester, Pa., and Joppa; nine grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.

Vibrant Pictures is the lead up to their EP which will be emerging mid-February 2019, followed by a tour to celebrate. The EP will cover various genres and flavours that the word has to offer from Gypsy Jazz to Psychedelic Blues.
With debut releases in the pipeline, Alex from muzic.net.nz had a chat with new Auckland group, The RVMES.
Where did the name ‘The RVMES’ come from?
How did the four of you get together?
Well to start the tale off we take a seat at a poker table outside under the stars years ago where Edwin, Logan and a few other cool cats sat sipping whiskey and placing bets until pockets were looking pretty dry. That’s where the two of them met, and after a few hangs and chats after the poker game they began to work on Edwin’s solo project in 2017 with Logan on drums.
The other meeting was at a Dead Beat Boys punk gig where Miro was playing his guts out on stage. This cat was jumping all over the show like a madman along with the rest of them, bloody awesome it was! Rewind around 6 years before this at different schools Edwin and Miro had a mutual friend who named dropped us to each other saying we should have a jam and that both lads had some skills, but alas it never happened until much later following the Dead Beats gig! After that meeting they tee’d up a jam and hit it off nicely so they started a covers project and played some cool shows around Auckland. Then boom! They started sharing riffs and ideas for original music and away they went.
Edwin’s solo project came to an end and then soon after some quick organization, The RVMES was formed with the three let’s say Musketeers. There was just one spot to fill. Sam Bartells one of Edwin’s buddies flicked over a dude's number to get in touch with about a bassist. And low and behold it was Ronaldo! We sent him over a few tracks we had written and had a jam a few days after and he came along and slayed every part. Couple days after that we had our first little gig at the Kingslander and we knew that was it. The RVMES was born.
Is The RVMES the only project you guys are working on at the moment?
We all have a few different projects. Miro has the Dead Beat Boys, ‘12’ which is electronic house music with real instruments and also tinkers with his own solo stuff which is … different (Miro laughs inappropriately loud) Ronaldo is big into the Brazilian scene, being Brazilian and all it only makes sense. He plays classic covers from his country around the city. And then we have Blackbird which is our covers band that we play all around Auckland which consists of Edwin, Logan, Miro and when Ronaldo can make it he does. And of course, we always slide our originals in our sets. Who wouldn’t!
Covering genres from gypsy jazz to psychedelic blues, is the groups music very guitar-centric?
Our songs are very guitar-centric and with this question alone Miro is stirring in his seat because he loves diversity in his playing. The synthesiser is going to be pulled out in practise now and you have only have yourselves to blame! (laughs).
Are there any specific artists that have been a large influence on the direction that the band has decided to follow?
There's always a massive reggae/funk/ska/psychedelic/blues feel to what we do which is super cool and we really should mention the old gods like Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix. Really though we think that they are just earth on which we grow, what we end up writing is often a mixture of that and what we hear around us today the inspires us. There are so many great artists around in today’s time that we feel are equally as critical to the band’s sound as those old ones.
Tell me about your hand-made tees. The design looks great!
We love the idea of handmade merchandise by the band, it’s more personal and sentimental to whoever wears our Tee’s! We made all the stencils and designs ourselves and did the bleaching as well ever so carefully. But trust us there was a few mistakes and trial runs in the process but now it’s pretty under control and consistent.
Your debut EP set for release mid-February. How easy was the writing process?
It’s amazing how quickly this band can pump out a song. One small idea at a rehearsal turns into a three-hour long idea trading circle, and damn it’s a beautiful thing to see. Nobody is afraid to put something on the table to try. We’re just guys who love music and writing it, but also have the ability not to clash over our ideas but work with them and even meet halfway to make a sound we like. We don’t know whether other people find our songs good, but if we like them that’s got to be worth something right? Before that though, you have your debut single being released on December 1st. What made you decide to pick ‘Vibrant Pictures’ for the debut release? - It’s just such a tight song with a vibe that matches hand in hand with Summer and sunshine. Give that baby a listen and you’ll see what we mean!
Where can people check out the band?
On all your classic platforms! Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and when the single is released you can find it on Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, Amazon and many more through our friends at DRM!
The RVMES (say it with us 'The Rooms' nice!) is a freshly formed band to the New Zealand scene and are reaching out as far as their little fingertips will reach to pluck the ripe apple of music and share it with everybody they can in New Zealand, and of course, beyond.
Taking everything into consideration from Psychedelic Blues, Gypsy Jazz, Rock'n'roll, Reggae, Soul and many more flavours, they weave together their songs with ultimate freedom and feel.
There are no releases to display for The RVMES.
After December's release of the collection of singles, III, which signified the departure of their vocalist Jason, the Inside the Muzic crew were invited to chat with Will, Jared, and new vocalist Rhys about everything Primacy. Check out the video below: Alex (Interviewer): Alrighty.

My in-laws are here visiting, and we wanted to take them somewhere picturesque and typically Dutch. When I heard about Giethoorn, the pretty little village with canals instead of streets, I knew it would be perfect. Especially since we were also planning to go up north to visit Groningen, so it was right on the way. We're trying to do some more exploring and get to know this tiny country we call home.
Giethoorn is another corner of the Netherlands that somehow recalls the Shire to mind.
We rented a boat, as one does. They happened to be out of the basic metal boats, so we were forced to get an amply sized one with cushioning. Which in retrospect was totally worth the extra €15 anyway.
Here's our skipper and our mini skipper, at the wheel.
The place is unbelievably quaint and photogenic.
House after immaculate house surrounded by flowers.
The houses themselves are quite colourful as well, with many of them sporting the typical brightly painted shutters.
And of course, since the "streets" are actually canals, instead of cars they have boats.
The waterways are periodically crossed by wooden bridges.
We stopped near one of these bridges to find a shop to buy fresh bread for a boating picnic.
Tony, bless his heart, followed directions and ended up walking all the way back to the boat dock for bread. But meanwhile we discovered a cheese shop with tasty samples.
Right next door was a mineral store full of all sorts of treasures.
It was almost like a small museum, complete with impressive fossils.
Axa and Raj took the opportunity to find a surprise gift for Grammy.
Next to the town is a wetlands nature preserve with a miniature lake.
Here's a closeup of that traditional boat someone is sailing off in the distance.
There's some cute farmland. Even the horses were miniatures.
We also found a little treehouse.
At only a couple of hours by train from Amsterdam (and less by car) Giethoorn is a perfect day out if you want some delightful and unique countryside. We definitely enjoyed our time there!
