The document discusses cyber-utopianism and how views have shifted to cyber-dystopianism. It outlines how early visions of the internet empowering people through open sharing of information have been replaced by fears of dystopian outcomes that mirror science fiction warnings. These include environmental damage from data usage, loss of privacy and autonomy to mass surveillance and centralized control, and the rise of intelligent machines that could surpass and threaten humanity. The document suggests we are living in a "Black Mirror world" and outlines how different dystopian scenarios from science fiction are playing out in reality through current internet and technology trends.

With the blockbuster success of the movie "Gravity", experts are asking why we're more interested in space fiction than fact. The answer is as old as the stars.

5 Summer Camp Concepts for the Next 5 YearsTravis Allison
I was asked to do some thinking about the future of our industry and present to a group of progressive summer camp owners.
I believe there are 5 things camp directors must do to excel in the next 5 years:
1) It is all about VISUALS
2) Get comfortable with TECHNOLOGY
3) Learn to RELAX
4) Make your marketing about THEM (not you)
5) Make BOLD STATEMENTS
Presentation at ECIPE Seminar "How to Accelerate the Expansion of the Digital Economy?" on 15th July. Quick overview of new trends in manufacturing and regulatory implications.
The shift to programmatic is often painted as the replacement of people in the media process with machines. In truth, people are still needed, perhaps more than ever. This session will discuss how people and machines can coexist in programmatic to do what each does best.
As the guest speaker at a DevFaction Meetup Group, I presented this talk on the power of visual storytelling. I also shared strategies for creating content that is meaningful and culturally relevant through embracing ancient archetypal patterns and universal human emotions. Inspired by the work of Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung.
Focus on story, don't be seduced by sexy tools: How journalists can create gr...Mirko Lorenz
This is a presentation for journalists and anybody interested in why and how stories can have impact. This is all about on how to find the best form for a strong story.
This is not easy. There are so many options and new tools. The key message of this presentation is that the focus should be on creating the story.
Which calls for an understanding why some stories are strong and lasting, while many are not. Additionally one must understand how the creation process works, which is best done by example and practice (of course).
The original presentation was held as the TASC Storycamp for the finalists of the African Story Challgenge, in Marrakesh, on August 11, 2014.

I made this presentation at the ECIPE Workshop: "Will 3D Printing change everything?" held on October 6th, 2015. It looks at sectoral disruption driven by adoption of 3D printing, while it also presents short-term regulatory aspects that will affect the diffusion of this technology. The presentation also provides a more general reflection on the wider economic and societal perspective surrounding the widespread adoption of 3D printing.
Because today every time we choose an algorithm, a dataset, a framework, even a plugin, our decision may have tremendous consequences on people near and far around us.
As we, in the tech industry, slowly come to realise the power we wield, we urgently need to train our brains into an ethical decision-making framework.
How can we make sure our choices won't harm others?

The New Norm(al): Confronting What Open Means for Higher EducationBonnie Stewart
The opening provocation/keynote for #altc 2017, this talk examines open educational practices for a time of institutional decline & pervasive corporatism & sensationalism. It challenges the idea of norms and normal in the figure - and implied objectivity - of the Bell Curve, and posits instead the figure of the cyborg as a model for openness in fraught but important digital spaces.
Taboos are a global phenomenon. Some cultural. Some universal. They change with time and seasons. Are they good? Are they bad? Or are they something else entirely?
Taboos help set the standards by which we live as a society. There are even niche taboos within communities (e.g. Comic Sans among designers, or in agile, missing stand up and iteration planning, commiting code without unit tests, and YAGNI etc.). But do these boundaries help or hinder us? Do they protect or enslave us? How can we tell?
This talk explores the history and nuance of taboo in society at large and in the agile community, and challenges them all. I present four standards by which you can judge taboos, challenge them, and use them to better yourself and your work.
Taboos will be broken during this talk. Are you ready to be a little uncomfortable?

Responsibilities of the office bearers while registering multi-state cooperat...Finlaw Consultancy Pvt Ltd
Introduction-
The process of register multi-state cooperative society in India is governed by the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act, 2002. This process requires the office bearers to undertake several crucial responsibilities to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks. The key office bearers typically include the President, Secretary, and Treasurer, along with other elected members of the managing committee. Their responsibilities encompass administrative, legal, and financial duties essential for the successful registration and operation of the society.
PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.
RIGHTS OF VICTIM EDITED PRESENTATION(SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Victims of crime have a range of rights designed to ensure their protection, support, and participation in the justice system. These rights include the right to be treated with dignity and respect, the right to be informed about the progress of their case, and the right to be heard during legal proceedings. Victims are entitled to protection from intimidation and harm, access to support services such as counseling and medical care, and the right to restitution from the offender. Additionally, many jurisdictions provide victims with the right to participate in parole hearings and the right to privacy to protect their personal information from public disclosure. These rights aim to acknowledge the impact of crime on victims and to provide them with the necessary resources and involvement in the judicial process.

Introducing New Government Regulation on Toll Road.pdfAHRP Law Firm
For nearly two decades, Government Regulation Number 15 of 2005 on Toll Roads ("GR No. 15/2005") has served as the cornerstone of toll road legislation. However, with the emergence of various new developments and legal requirements, the Government has enacted Government Regulation Number 23 of 2024 on Toll Roads to replace GR No. 15/2005. This new regulation introduces several provisions impacting toll business entities and toll road users. Find out more out insights about this topic in our Legal Brief publication.
In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.
