This document provides summaries of several science and technology related stories from Greece:
1) It discusses initiatives by Greek organizations to promote science to the public through events like "Science Society" and surveys showing Greek interest in scientific discoveries.
2) It describes how a team from Aristotle University won first place at the Harvard Trading Agent Competition for their "software agents" project developing automated trading programs.
3) It highlights a Greek "EnviFriendly" project being recognized among the top 5 "Best of the Best" environmental projects in Europe for developing eco-friendly technologies reducing agricultural pollution.
The Invisible Technology, Will Nanotechnology Transcend BiologyUMinventor
Lecture given at the Natural Science Section meeting of November 2010 in Chicago. It explores the promises and dangers of Nanotechnology, how Ray Kurzweil\'s Singularity promises similar hopes to those of Spiritual Science but from a materialistic perspective. We then look at the future perceived by Rudolf Steiner where Humanity becomes the 10th Hierarchy and co-creators of the future.
Knowledge Generation, Use and Management in Sustainable Infrastructure Engine...William Hall
Engineers (and many others) have difficulties understanding intangible stuff like “knowledge”.
Engineers are good at establishing and applying formal rules and standards to discover and build solutions for well analyzed problems, but they are not so good at solving problems involving people or other chaotic components. Engineers work in and with organizations comprised of people who are inherently error prone and sometimes chaotic. By recognizing these problems of knowledge and organization, engineers can build systems to minimize uncertainty and manage knowledge.
This presentation covers some key frameworks of understanding for sustainability practice:
* The "tragedy of the commons"
- Garrett Hardin
- Elinor Ostrom (Nobel Laureate)
Models of governance
* Herbert Simon (Nobel Laureate)
- Theoretical basis for decision support
- Theory of hierarchically complex systems
* Intersecting theories of organization and knowledge
Engineering for sustainability unavoidably involves understanding the social use of resources
* People, communities and their imperatives
* Social systems & infrastructure
Knowledge & decision support

Technology and outdoor education: Some experiential possibilitiesJames Neill
There is a philosophical tension in outdoor education about the role of technology. On one hand, outdoor educators seek to distance participants from technology in order to provide “a place apart”. On the other hand, most outdoor education programs rely on a growing plethora of outdoor and safety gear, electronic navigation and communication, and transport technologies. Despite this, outdoor education tends to be somewhat unadventurous in its pedagogical use of technology. Instead, we might experiment with a wider spectrum of technologies (from low tech to high tech). By considering possibilities from across the technological gamut – e.g., from survival programs (low tech) to urban challenges with mobile electronic devices (high tech) – we might enrich our understanding of outdoor learning processes and engage different types of participants.

A new paper in New Biotechnology examines the unique set of circumstances that gave rise to the first biotechnology programs in Europe, some of their biggest achievements, and what the future holds. The paper is called “Thirty years of European biotechnology programs: from biomolecular engineering to the bioeconomy.”For the authors — Dr. Alfredo Aguilar, Dr. Etienne Magnien and Dr. Daniel Thomas — it was a collision of scientific discovery and a fluctuating political landscape that allowed the first programs to take shape.

The Rise of Citizen-Scientists in the Eversmarter World - Alex Lightman - H+ ...Humanity Plus
Alex Lightman
Executive Director, Humanity+
The Rise of Citizen-Scientists in the Eversmarter World
Knowledge may be expanding exponentially, but the current rate of civilizational learning and institutional upgrading is still far too slow in the century of peak oil, peak uranium, and "peak everything". Humanity needs to gather vastly more data as part of ever larger and more widespread scientific experiments, and make science and technology flourish in streets, fields, and homes as well as in university and corporate laboratories. In this talk, H+ Executive Director Alex Lightman will give an introduction and overview of the big picture of H+ the organization, the magazine, and the conference, and how the participants can make the most of their experience and relationships at the conference. The case for ending embargoes and other beaver dams in the rivers of potentially global knowledge will be made. Lightman will offer a vision of a properly functioning Eversmarter world, ending with a call to action to become a citizen-scientist, and a recruiter of other citizen-scientists.
Alex Lightman is the Executive Director of Humanity+ and the chair of the H+ Summit @ Harvard and of the inaugural H+ Summit held December 2009 in Irvine, California. He is a director of Fortune Nest Corporation (Bahrain, Beijing and Beverly Hills, CA) and of Inova Technology. He is an award-winning educator, an inventor with several US patents issued or pending and the author of over 800,000 words, including 12 articles in h+ magazine, and Brave New Unwired World: The Digital Big Bang and The Infinite Internet, the first book on 4G wireless. He has advised NATO, the US Dept. of Defense, and a number of governments on Internet Protocol version 6, the 128-bit successor to the current Internet, IPv4. Lightman's advocacy led to the only Congressional hearings held on US Internet Leadership, conducted by The Government Reform Committee and at which Lightman testified, leading to implementation of Lightman's recommendations to mandate IPv6 for the US government and require IPv6 as part of government information technology contracts. Lightman studied Civil and Environmental Engineering, and graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1983 (Course I-A), and attended graduate school at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. He lives in Santa Monica, California, where he runs marathons, and attempts his first Ironman triathlon, in the UK, on August 1, 2010.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.
