Future Urban Design for the Emergence of a Fluid Sense of SelfUniversity of Oxford
Given the growing pace of urbanisation and the need for developing cohesive, and resilient communities, it is crucial to discuss how we can better design the space of our future cities. Inspired by the movement of open spaces in cities across the world, resilience theory and the concept of smart cities, I demonstrate that city and human resilience are tightly interlinked and it is possible to positively influence both through utilising the transformative power of open spaces and smart technologies in novel ways. Moreover, drawing on my main line of research on resilience of complex adaptive systems (e.g., people, places and natural systems), I present synthetic ways to rethink urban design and harness the transformative function of flexible structures such as open spaces and pervasive technologies such as Internet of Things to help people and communities explore new sociocultural possibilities that open them up to explore new possibilities, and eventually shifting our shared social realities toward new horizons.

From climate change and urbanisation to resource scarcity and geopolitical shifts, our world is experiencing disruptive change that impacts how development work is planned and delivered.
At the same time, this development practice is also increasingly impacted by ‘internal disruptors’ such as the emergence of new donor nations, a growth in crowdsourcing and the rise of social enterprise.
How can international non-governmental organisations (NGOs) prepare themselves for the disrupted future ahead? They could arguably start by learning from Southern NGOs — many of which already manage disruption in the here and now and are invaluable in building agency and achieving lasting change.

The technologies and people we are designing experiences for are constantly changing, in most cases they are changing at a rate that is difficult keep up with. When we think about how our teams are structured and the design processes we use in light of this challenge, a new design problem (or problem space) emerges, one that requires us to focus inward. How do we structure our teams and processes to be resilient? What would happen if we looked at our teams and design process as IA’s, Designers, Researchers? What strategies would we put in place to help them be successful? This talk will look at challenges we face leading, supporting, or simply being a part of design teams creating experiences for user groups with changing technological needs.

Flourishing Societies Framework - DwD Workshop Peter Jones
How might we move or collective thinking and action beyond single-issue social action?
Does it make sense to build our urban worlds and future societies by winning one political issue at a time?
Can we design civic business models for our cities and society?
All social services, determinants of health, and economics are complex and interrelated. So why do we expect any political body or activist group to get it right? Only meaningfully diverse, multi-stakeholder groups can envision the variety of interests and outcomes in complex social systems. In February's Design with Dialogue Peter Jones workshops tools for co-creating civic design proposals.
A significant design challenge of our time is anticipating the relationships of multiple environmental and social problems as a complex system of nonlinear relationships. However, we cannot think about, model or discuss the relationships well, especially in the heat of discussion with deliberative groups and decision making processes. We need not only better engagement and dialogue processes for citizen deliberative problem solving, we require relevant tools.
With the OCADU Strongly Sustainable Business Model Group and with Strategic Foresight & Innovation students we designed a relevant framework from the common language of business model tools, adapted for civic decision models for flourishing cities and settlements.
The Flourishing Cities framework adapts a design tool for strongly sustainable business models as a visual organizer for engaging stakeholders in co-creating normative operational guidance for civic groups, community planners, and local governments. Flourishing can be understood as “to live within an optimal range of human functioning, one that connotes goodness, generativity, growth, and resilience,” or as John Ehrenfeld states it:
“Flourishing is the possibility that human and other life will flourish on this planet forever.”
This visual model enables a participatory mapping of propositions, values, and preferences that might yield significantly better group decisions for sociocultural and ecological development and governance in any planning engagement.

These are the low resolution slides of my workshop to the International Labor Organization (the oldest agency of the United Nations!) on how to plan the business model for your social enterprise, using the CLEVER social business model canvas, with a focus on balancing revenues, profit, and impact - and avoid mission drift.
Presentation by Peter Jones at RSD4 Banff, Alberta, 2015. Society can be defined as an object of culture, as culture is a medium for the collective development of social systems. Societies are not designed by a deliberative process, but are social entities that emerge over time as response to historicity and cultural development, and function largely by tacit agreement as observed in social norms.
In the 1960’s social systemicists such as Ozbekhan, Fuller, and Doxiadis advocated deliberative civic planning as a normative science for designing sustainable and preferable societies and settlements. Even though their original methodologies of normative planning (Ozbekhan), anticipatory design science (Fuller) and ekistics (Doxiadis) did not gain the results hoped in applications over time, these arguments could be lodged against most systems methodologies. Yet when we consider their views of the human capacity to design future outcomes as a serious social and political project, we in our fragmented polities in the postmodern era might take heed. An argument follows that we, as cultural innovators in our own societies, having access to the wisdom of successful past transitions or redirections, have also failed to motivate and enact changes requisite to our common concerns.
A systemic design approach is proposed toward constructing such idealizations as a necessary initial condition. The approach reconciles wisdom from our sociocultural histories with collaborative design practices of the current era to construct shared pathways to desired and feasible societal futures.
This is work in progress, but is minimally presentable. Dino Karabeg, David Price, and Sam Hahn are updating this daily, and intend to release this (as updates) perhaps every couple weeks. Find out more at communityofimpact.info.

Describes the vision for the creation of a community of practice and a technology platform to connect projects that have related missions; projects from around the world working on climate change, for example.
Currently pi network is not tradable on binance or any other exchange because we are still in the enclosed mainnet.
Right now the only way to sell pi coins is by trading with a verified merchant.
What is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone verified by pi network team and allowed to barter pi coins for goods and services.
Since pi network is not doing any pre-sale The only way exchanges like binance/huobi or crypto whales can get pi is by buying from miners. And a merchant stands in between the exchanges and the miners.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
how to swap pi coins to foreign currency withdrawable.DOT TECH
As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.
Below is the contact information for my personal pi vendor.
Telegram: @Pi_vendor_247
What website can I sell pi coins securely.DOT TECH
Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell to these crypto whales and holders of pi..
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.
How can I sell my pi coins?
Selling pi coins is really easy, but first you need to migrate to mainnet wallet before you can do that. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.

What price will pi network be listed on exchangesDOT TECH
The rate at which pi will be listed is practically unknown. But due to speculations surrounding it the predicted rate is tends to be from 30$ — 50$.
So if you are interested in selling your pi network coins at a high rate tho. Or you can't wait till the mainnet launch in 2026. You can easily trade your pi coins with a merchant.
A merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell them to Investors looking forward to hold massive quantities till mainnet launch.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.
how to sell pi coins at high rate quickly.DOT TECH
Where can I sell my pi coins at a high rate.
Pi is not launched yet on any exchange. But one can easily sell his or her pi coins to investors who want to hold pi till mainnet launch.
This means crypto whales want to hold pi. And you can get a good rate for selling pi to them. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor below.
A vendor is someone who buys from a miner and resell it to a holder or crypto whale.
Here is the telegram contact of my vendor:

3. What is the Essence?
“For peace to reign on Earth,
humans must evolve into new
beings who have learned to see
the whole first.”
― Immanuel Kant
4. The Good Country Index
“Do (countries) exist purely to serve
the interests of their own politicians,
businesses and citizens, or are they
actively working for all of humanity
and the whole planet? The debate is
a critical one, because if the first
answer is the correct one, we’re all in
deep trouble.”
12. What is the function of
social finance…
impact investing…
charitable giving?
13. Hypotheses
Function of social finance… charitable
giving… is to make the world a better
place… more specifically to proliferate
social good…
The fundamental bottleneck to this is the
absence of very early stage risk capital
(resources) for projects that are social
mission focused
14. What Is Our Opportunity?
Develop a prototype for a solution that
will solve a systemic problem!... To totally
change the game… to make a difference
at a global level…
Provide capital for very early stage socially
focused projects
Provide context for later stage projects
(mission driven and otherwise) to support
change activity, develop partnerships…
develop their projects
Ramp up capacity for the movement for
change in our local area
15. What are Projects …
Ecosystem?
PROJECT: A group of people working
towards the same goal… with a shared
mission… vision… story
ECOSYSTEM: A group of Projects working
towards the same goal… with a shared
mission… vision… story
They might share the same people,
infrastructure, partners, clients etc.
16. An Ecosystem of Projects
TIME
TIME
The
UNIFICATION…
COVERGENCE
of Mission…
Vision… Story…
Goals… Intent
17. What is an Ecosystem?
“An ecosystem is a
community of living
organisms…”
“…ecosystems are
defined by the
network of
interactions among
organisms, and
between organisms
and their
environment…”
The whole is
greater than
the sum of
its parts!
24. The Power of Stories: connect to
world through stories
In media and social media driven world
Stories are disproportionately more
important at any other time in history
Viral dynamics
Emotive
So… what mix of projects is in
alignment with this reality?

34. The Paradigm Shift
Systemic of View of Projects… from one
project at a time to groups of projects
Systemic View of Resource Allocation…
from funding one project at a time to
funding one ecosystem at a time!
Flow capital directly from financially
motivated investors to socially
motivated projects
35. What is a Social Venture?
There are many definitions. I am
offering the following…
‘Projects, the objective of which is to
bring about positive social change’
Note that, there is no reference to said
projects necessarily having to make
money in this definition
37. What is the Problem Being
Solved?
Lack of resources (cash and in-
kind) for germination stage and
pre-proof of concept social
innovators… which is a systemic
problem
… why is this a systemic problem?
38. The Systemic Problem
Seed stage social innovation
projects (as defined) carry very
high risk and very little financial
return potential (by definition)
This is to be contrasted with
financially motivated projects
which behaves like…
39. ‘Financial Driven’ Angel Investments…
return distributions
Socially motivated
investments don’t
have this return
potential
Seed stage Social
investments have
high risk and
moderate return
potential
All seed stage projects are risky but some that are profit
motivated do really well!... This compensates for all those that
do poorly…

41. Traditional Funding Mindset…
Single Project Scalability Principle
Scalability: support the one project that
has the highest probability of doing
extraordinarily well.
Problem…
Ignores 9/10 projects
Reinforces survival of the fittest
Underlying Perspective
Competition versus cooperation
42. Social Change and Cultural Change…
proliferating social entrepreneurship
The Problem with the One Project Scalability
model…
Is it better to fund 1 * $200,000 into a great
project that will scale… or 10 * $20,000 into
smaller unproven projects?
Not clear from a financial perspective
A definite NO from a cultural change
perspective
43. The Cultural Mix
Is it better to have?...
Highly
Scalable
Projects
Moderately
Scalable Projects
From the perspective of the
system... The world!... How do
we scale the entire system?
