A reality check and new body culture
The world around us seems sometimes totally out of control, our lack of ability to catch it and being here and now is difficult. Naturally we come to a point where we feel loose of control and everything feels as a giant chaotic state. We stop and drop out. The capability to grip disappears. Most people drop out of fashion, music, film or digital trends at one point. We tune out and our kids tune in, soon they are also turning out. Their kids continue this merry goes round in a faster and faster way than before. Not unlike the wheel of life and death, (Dharma wheel) this cycle goes on and every time we believe that we see, hear or feel as everything never have been done before. But this, but this is far from the truth. And how many parents have not shaken their heads while the youngest turns up the volume to 11. Parents who scream out; turn of that noise off, you call it music? Its dam noise”, forgetting that they heard the same thing from their parents.
Where is the borderline between young, old, hippies or punks?
The difference between young and old, hippies or punk, local or global culture get mixed and melt different cultural elements together.

If the mobile phone was the modern cigarette Smartphones are the new Heroin, you get highly addicted, but not the same abstinent physical illness.
About a week ago day on the tram this young, drunk and homeless boy sit next to me and talk to everyone and he screams out that he did not understand much about it all. I replied as I sat next to him that it was good to hear because I do not understand anything as well.

I was thinking what do I really know? And I got this lost feeling that everything happening around me is unreal. One see and read all the news about education, terror, war, friends, social media, jobs not jobs, the terrorists in Afghanistan the war in Iraq, Steak or Sushi for dinner, red or blue, Athens or Rome, Facebook or Twitter, blog or web site? And then I just get dizzy. There are so many choices. When I start thinking like this I feel that I am totally losing the grip into the big chaos that surrounds me.

1) Over 1.8 million people, mostly children under 5, die each year from water-borne diseases due to contaminated water sources in many communities. Current water testing supplies are too complicated, expensive, and require resources not available in remote areas.
2) Safe Water World has developed field-ready kits for microbial water testing that are low-cost, easy to use, portable, and do not require incubation. The kits include various tests and materials packaged for use in remote areas.
3) The kits improve upon current testing methods by being lower cost and easier to use while still providing accurate results. Safe Water World aims to empower communities to test their own water and seek improvements, and help organizations identify contaminated water
The document discusses The Watt Campaign, a holistic program that empowers students to lead energy efficiency campaigns in their schools. It combines guidance, community, measurement, and incentives to initiate and sustain efficiency programs. The Watt Campaign's tools and resources help students start with a "Vampire Energy Hunt" and continue long-term efficiency efforts. If successful, such behavioral programs could achieve energy savings of 10-30% with no capital costs, freeing up funds that could be used to hire teachers or buy textbooks and computers.
A new product called the ZimbaPlus system aims to provide safe drinking water from wells to individuals by addressing issues with existing chlorine dispensers.

The goal is to provide a multidisciplinary STEM education using a low-cost, portable kit.
The document summarizes a project that tracks the routes of informal recyclers ("catadores") in São Paulo using GPS to understand their foraging strategies. This information could then be turned into an online platform to help catadores formalize and scale up their recycling services by improving coordination between cooperatives and establishing relationships of trust with companies and residents. The goal is to help catadores take advantage of a new Brazilian law recognizing them and leverage technology to strengthen the recycling system through participatory management.
The document proposes using art therapy techniques to help children in Pakistan cope with trauma from the 2010 floods. Over 14 million people were affected by the floods, with 1/5 of the country under water.

12. WHAT: creating a market place and generating demand for used saris
and products made from used saris
WHY: >25,000 sari-pickers, >10M used saris collected per year =
massive, underutilized and under-marketed fabric catalog
HOW: optimize sari collection process and enable inventory
management through use of mobile technologies; in
addition, create market place (web platform) to increase
global access of used saris and products made from used
saris

Welcome – thank you. To Brian and Betsy. Why we’re here tonight. For how long. Brian, Betsy, Tom and I started talking earlier this spring on how we could lervage the best of Bose and its innovative culture to be part of MIT…
We’ll start with pitches. Did everyone get pizza? There are lots of ideas, they’re happening all over the world and each endeavors is different. I can make no guarantees that we’ll identify how to move Mount Everest by the end of the evening. But I can say, our hope for the evening is to inspire insights and dialogue between Bose employees and the teams featured here tonight. Be open. To something new. What looks viable from one context may not be true from another. Don’t feel you need the answers; but ask questions – even if you can’t weigh in on a specific project. Choreography… Teams – where to go…
Hi everyone, my name is Cole Shaw, and I am one of the co-leads of the Imaginate | Diiaki workshops. Our goal is to improve 21 st century skills in emerging markets like Mexico, Brazil, and Chile, and inspire students to become innovative thinkers and entrepreneurs. We do this by partnering with local universities to run multi-week, hands-on product design workshops that make university students apply their book-smarts to solving real-world problems. We believe that the types of skills they develop are also attractive to companies, who anecdotally report having a lot of difficulties identifying talented employees in emerging markets (and the US). Tonight, we want to learn more about how to bring value to companies like Bose, that operate in emerging markets.
IDEA : Working with communities around the world to develop and sell high value, locally sourced natural products, focusing on sustainable communities that grow and harvest their own natural pigments in order to increase income generation and create jobs for the local people. PROBLEM : In remote communities across the world, people often do not have access to sustainable sources of income. By developing new products, they could meet the strong demand for natural products in the developed world. SOLUTION: In the mountains of India, we found a way for rural communities to increase their income and generate employment by using byproducts of the textile dyeing process to create naturally dyed crayons from abundant locally sourced materials. Not only do the crayons provide a new source of income but they are also environmentally friendly and locally sustainable. Our goal is to replicate this process with other organizations and ultimately to adapt this process to other products. BUSINESS MODEL Instead of working with local communities around the world to develop products that are aimed at the base of the pyramid, we work with communities to develop and sell their products to a high-end market. Because these products will be relatively inexpensive to produce but will be high quality, they can sell for a relatively high profit margin. Depending on our involvement with the product ’s development, we would get a share of the profit. SECRET SAUCE We have been working with a community in the Himalayas in India for the past year and developed two iterations of natural dye crayons that we are helping the community to do pilot sales for. Based on experience with this product and an understanding of what other possible products we could develop with similar ingredients, we could either work with other organizations on crayons or wax-based products or the same organization with different products such as pastels or other art supplies.
Find a team – or two. Just to keep it moving. We’ll remind you in 20 minutes, that you’re welcome to switch.
