Asynsis Shanghai Villa published in Perspective Magazine, Hong Kong
Shanghai Xijiao State Guest Hotel environs, Hongqiao VIP Corporate Guest Villa for Jinbo Design + Construct Group: Exclusive corporate hospitality villa in the environs of Xijiao State Hotel.
Preferred residence of numerous heads of state such as US President Barack Obama, Queen Elisabeth II, Emperor Akihito, Chairmans Mao and Deng.
Developed from fusion of two initial concepts: Modernist Japanese minimalism (referencing Carlo Scarpa) and Mannerist Renaissance Architecture with a touch of Moorish style in the Atrium fountains.
Facilities: 3 guestrooms, 4 bathrooms, study, walk-in robe, dining + ensuite, kitchen, salon, gallery, atrium, fountain, terrace, wine cellar, games room;
over 4 floors with extensive use of alabaster, onyx, granite, quartz, exotic marbles and delicate stone-inlay/mosaic flooring.
The first public power station was fired-up in 1882 by Thomas Edison.
Today there are over 62,000 in operation, producing gigawatts of electricity - to light homes, drive factories and connect the world in unimaginable ways.
Now, 133 years later, there’s a new breed of power station. Unlike the rest, it’s not designed to produce electricity. But instead a precious resource treasured and pursued by over 60 million businesses around the world today …
Profit.
The mc2POWERSTATION harnesses the incredible, natural energy of enterprise, and converts it to money, through a process known as Profitable Marketing.
The genius of the mc2POWERSTATION is in its simplicity. Spend less on marketing than the income it creates. And you generate profit.
For Profitable Marketing to work, there are two essential ingredients - low marketing costs combined with high performing campaigns.
Any other form of marketing short-circuits businesses, shields them from opportunity and drains their batteries (plus those of their owners!)
To convert your business to run Profitable Marketing, hook up to mc2POWERSTATION. You will reduce costs and increase sales ...
And generate more profit from your business.

Designing Creative Teams: Play makes Hay!
Play releases most Potential, Most Easily, Adding Most Value.
What works for Teams also works for Nature. Why?
Good Form follows True, Beautiful Flow.
It’s built into the way the world works, from geometry to nature, people and society. It’s called Universality and it works for everything…including Football (so it must be true)!
Like a Penrose tiling, finite shapes can create infinitely varied patterns.
This is how universality explores possibilities most easily.
Does that sound familiar? It should — because it’s Play.
Play in terms of recreation, making plans, models and theatre to explore new concepts, ideas and hypotheticals.
What the new sciences of complexity tell us is that Nature can self-organise to evolve, and it does it with lateral, playful dynamics that explore as much information in a possibility-space as possible, most simply & quickly.
Teams are a collective consciousness. So they both work best when they’re connected in as many and varied ways as possible.
When they’re both bottom-up as well as top-down.
Vertical and lateral, focussed and playful in turn, especially when problems need solving and new thinking is needed.
Look at the circles in this background image and how they change relative positions and sizes. That’s just what creativity is — playing with permutations and potentials to find the most ideal and fit for purpose arrangements.
Creativity is both divergent as well as convergent — and it yields moments that flip modes — or even keep both (or several), in superposition, most easily.
In terms of Nash Equilibrium, the most potential is released for the least energy cost during self-organised critical, phase-transition regimes (known as dynamical systems universality); when co-operation replaces conflict.
The geometry of the natural world into which we’re all embedded is fractal and recursively self-similar, it’s feedback-led, bottom up and top down in symphonic harmony, adaptive & resilient, rhyming and resonant, delivering gestalt (wholes that are more than the some of their parts — synergies). That’s what empathy is: emotional fractals and self-similarity between individuals and within teams.
So the best teams are the ones that are best curated and synergised by empathic mentors that tolerate and encourage equality & pluralism.
It’s what the French called an Espirit de Corps and is why a happy, healthy and creative team is also a pluralistic democracy that thrives on diversity, simplexity, shared information and humour, on leadership from the front delivering fulfilled potential for both individuals and the unit — on an emergent unity of shared purpose and meaning, rather than as an imposed, authoritarian “dick-tatorship”.

PRESS RELEASE
NEW RESEARCH GETS INTO THE UNDERBELLY OF THE SHARING ECONOMY
A U.S. Study by Leo Burnett Decodes What Brands Need to Know About the Future of American Entrepreneurship
CHICAGO – A new study by global advertising agency Leo Burnett, “The Sharing Economy: Where We Go From Here,” reveals the surprising and unspoken realities of the sharing economy in America and what’s truly happening in it. The research provides insights into how people perceive, and participate in, the sharing economy.
“The sharing economy is taking on a life of its own, but it is much more nuanced than we realized,” said Chief Strategy Officer Mick McCabe, Leo Burnett USA. “Our research reveals the psychology and the behaviors of sharers that can help guide brands including why people share and why they do not.”
Sharing has more texture than what’s largely reported in the media. People are chiefly motivated by practical needs, convenience and the ability to save or make money. A nominal 35 percent of people are primarily motivated to share by altruism, community and the environment.
About Humans Being
Inspired by Leo Burnett’s HumanKind philosophy, Humans Being is a thought leadership series and ongoing exploration that pieces together the story of us. It’s a study on the changing face of humanity in culture, society, emotion, values and the human condition. We explore the intersection of where cultural trends become norms and ultimately mores. Humans Being “Sharing” follows the “Relationships” and “Technology” editions that explore the cultural and technological influences on relationships and the changing role of technology in society.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
