Dam engineering: Building water reservoirs (either elevated or not) in cities in 21rst century urbanism of green cities is much more friendly than dam engineering)
Nathan Martin argues that to create innovative technology experiences, companies should think like "gutter technologists" by disregarding technological conventions and rules. He advocates using the lowest possible technology in new combinations to solve problems creatively. Martin provides examples like the Nike Chalkbot that combined old and new technologies to engage audiences in new ways. The document encourages companies to "squint" at technology without expertise to find unexpected solutions and inspire memorable experiences for users.

This document discusses basic hazard management. It covers several topics:
1. Hazard management includes processes like emergency management and crisis management, which rely on indicators to understand impacts on areas like labor and regulations.
2. Climate change is expected to increase temperatures by 1-2 degrees Celsius by 2100, leading to many changes in human activities. This presents both opportunities and uncertainties.
3. Practical applications of hazard management already exist for floods, earthquakes, and crisis management of events like strikes or diseases. Regulations, building standards, and other measures aim to reduce flood risks.

This document discusses how businesses can get started with social media. It explains that social media includes sites like Facebook, blogs, YouTube and Wikipedia. Businesses should choose the social media that fits their industry and set objectives. They should also allocate time, energy and imagination to social media as it isn't free. The document provides tips for social media like taking a course, finding your voice, addressing negativity, and sticking to goals. In the end, it questions whether a business needs a Facebook page to get started with social media.
The document discusses how feedback has been lost in software development processes over time, but is essential for validating decisions, improving processes and teamwork. It provides examples of how feedback works in agile practices like Scrum and explains that feedback is only useful if it is translated into action. The presentation concludes that software development is rediscovering the importance of frequent, high-quality feedback at its core.
Tim Harper is an engineer and serial entrepreneur who has founded several companies in the nanotechnology field. Over the past 10 years, nanotechnology has been incorporated into numerous commercial applications including household cleaners, food, cosmetics, sports equipment, displays, drug delivery, and more. As science progresses in complexity over time, it enables new technologies like semiconductors in the 20th century and is now enabling nanotechnologies and synthetic biology in the 21st century. These new technologies will allow for control over materials and eventually control over living things and whole systems, fundamentally changing our relationship with the natural world.
Exploring alternatives is part of the design process.
TDD is a way to do incremental design, or design while you write code.
So can we use TDD to explore design alternatives?
Turns out, I've seen a lot of design exploration during the 30+ code retreats I facilitated and attended. While I don't have a definite proof, it seems that TDD could be used for this purpose.

What has caused the return of the water hazard is unknwon- What is special is that unlikely events can create catastrophic losses and vulnerabilities with the poor segment of the communities. Issue is to differentiate direct causes and indirect causes of risk. So, one can focus on the real causes in order to prevent negative impacts of the risks, when it wil return a next time. In absence of data or statistical records, it is hardship to predict when the flood in mountain will be back. So, best is to prepare new options and scenario based on modelings. I has been said, it was God event and also people or the engieering works, urbanisms, pilgrims, aged techonologies. all these searches for risks sources are confudig with the risk impacts (direct or secundary). The real concern, according to me is people. Uttarakhand was a disaster made by men. Some, experts started to see the truth and root causes of the disaster- I believe, before the next occurence, they will take the opportunity to re-organize Uttarakhand urbanism and geography according to the numbers and sizes of the villages and municiplaities in relations with these debris and sediments zones aswell as carbages in link to the river channels and flows, so that when there is monsoon or heavy rais i Himalaya, river can expend in the river beds in the valley, which is quite a normal weahter phenomenum, but mainly if there is a municipality service to control the waste and the waste management services, to prevent waste and carbages accumulation, which could create artificial water reservoirs mountains. If no water drainage of the reservoirs is not made, the risk is like dam rupture, under the water elevation, the water pressures and tenses on the debris, garbages, sediments that are components of the reservoirs walls will reached a dangerous limit before the reservoir rupture. Then Uttarhakand gentle river flow can become a real monster.
Georges RADJOU (BIRD CEO) has design a universal wage. In principle, it is for the Annual Ministerial Review (Part 3, United Nations)- The Indicator of Sustainable developmen tin Post 2015 MDGs and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be quite a popular issue. Who has not dreamed to be paid for an activity as equally as his business employer. In fact, the Indicator of universal wage, which is a wage for all, for their contribution as outcome of societal participation aimed at reducing the gap between rich people (high paid caliber workers) and poor people the low paid workers- Therefore thus a universal wage, with a limited number of pillar- The desin of the indicator is based on 2 indicators: one to tell people, whe their wages is not enough i.e. the purchasing power is insufficient compared to the cost of living. Opposite, the indicator to tell you earn too much, and they are too many poors. So, you should not react if there is pay cut (particularly) if all your needs have been already satisfied. Tese are for the top earners, whose leaving standards have been multiplied by a great number i.e 3, 5, 10 folds of basic workers wage and needw.
This is a prototype project- Project prototype is Guy Standing, a Professor innovator which has shown the cash transfer in India could work on the basis of the Z-score curve and the support of a network of partners like United Nations Research Institute in Social Development (UNRISD) and the Children Fund (UNICEF), and the political stamina of new India governement (s) willig to implement cash transfer in India- This is also, part of new innovative idea in social development at a period where economies need more cash for not leaving vulnerable public by the side of development.
This document discusses strategies for using armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) during the conflict in northern Mali. It outlines plans for a siege of Gao using AFVs from Mali, Niger and Algeria alongside humanitarian support. It acknowledges that the actual operations incorporated elements of this plan but differed in places and timing due to the uncertainties of war. France's rapid response after Mali requested assistance is noted as exploiting their ability to project air and ground forces into the region on short notice. The document also estimates reconstruction costs for Mali ranging from €1-3 billion.

Sustainable development principle applied to electrical cars and network- I applied, the sustainble development principle is not so clear with electrical cars network- Like oil sand- if a supply chain is sustainble, it has to be all along the supply and not only at the user level
Floodplain. Where dou you start from? Ravine erosion (embankement, walls and ravine bed)- The 3 D simulation gives a perspective of the erosion and deposition o sediments.
This document contains 3 graphical simulations showing the impact of crises on oil prices and how equilibrium can be restored. It discusses the Iran-Iraq war and how Kuwait maintained oil production volumes to avoid costs, which became inevitable when Iraq invaded Kuwait and burned oil fields. It also discusses the Arab revolutions in 2011 and their impact on lowering oil prices and increasing costs due to a supply and demand imbalance. Maintaining stable oil supplies and prices involves complex dynamics and tradeoffs between producers, consumers, and geopolitical events.
This document discusses Airbus's initiatives to promote innovation through research and development. It provides Airbus's total R&D budget which is 4% of total income or €2.4 billion, with €22 billion in international trade. The document also shows Airbus's investment budget is focused on the aerospace, health and other industries, as well as public research. Finally, it outlines Airbus's innovation platform that connects academia, industry clusters and the company to drive innovation.
The document proposes using tall structures like highway lampposts and stadium masts, combined with latex ropes and boats, as an applied art for tsunami risk reduction. It describes laboratory experiments testing the elastic properties of latex ropes, and simulations of how a mast-boat-rope system could help reduce risks by lifting boats inland as tsunami walls pass. The system is proposed as an innovative tsunami management technology and risk reduction strategy.
Case of 3 islands being located in what was going to be the Channel sea. The global temperature and the sea rise occured during the quaternary. Between -20,000 years and -10,000 years between France and England was a cold season wi in average peak of cold would be around - 20,000.
The document describes a proposed early warning system (EWS) project using RFID sensors to protect a village from flood risks. The system would involve:
1) Installing flood detectors along waterways and within a 100km risk zone to monitor water levels and map flood advancements.
2) Developing an integrated flood management information system using the sensor data, drones, and other technologies to detect and respond to flooding.
3) Establishing coordination centers to transmit warnings via various technologies and help direct emergency response operations.
At time a time of recurrent disaster and tsunamies.
When South east Asia tsunamy Dec 26,2004 stroke, the world was awaken and found our world less safe. Hyogo framework of disaster and risk reductions took all its importance.
It is a project against tsunamies, I developped during my MBA studies at International Institute of Management IIM MBA CNAM under supervision of Professor Gilles Vallet, head of Project Management at CNAM.
It is a technology pole against tsunamies similar to these poles that you can see in Football stadiums in modern cities to put light on the game during evening games.
The technology pole is based on a study of car crash accidents in Swedish motorways and how the highway poles can absorb the kinetic energy of the car when leaving the road.
It prevent the violence of the stop due to the car colliding the highway pole and avoid to kill the car driver and passengers.
These absorbant property of poles were used in the project. I have replaced cars by boats or several boats and they are link to latec cable rope to the high poles. In case of unpredicted tsunamies. People would find shelter in nthese boats.
After all when you go to Disneyland park. All the aquaboggan and the water fun fairs are just about capturing the essence of the water adventure with insubmersible raft. What is working for pleasure in fun fair parks should also works in case of a disaster. One need to live a culture of sharing risk without disturbing the whole cycle of life.
Muhammad Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for establishing Grameen Bank and pioneering microcredit and microfinance to help alleviate poverty. Grameen Bank provides small loans, usually around $30-$50, to help the poor establish small businesses and become financially self-sufficient. By providing access to affordable credit, microcredit aims to help the billions of people living on under $2 per day and is aligned with the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals of reducing extreme poverty.

This is a personal work introducing micro-lead times to contrast with lead-times-macro leadtimes.
It is helping to explain while the anti seismic architecture fails in some part of the world due to not compliance with the urbanism code.
This model of supply chain manegement is also valid for water hazards and planning with disregard for flood regulation and codes. It is usefull to be assisted with a consultant to fill the gap between planners and disaster managers
Traditional flood protections like embankments and walls have risks such as flooding, rupturing, lack of sustainability, and being aesthetically unpleasing. The document proposes using mobile flood screens that behave like rolling curtains to stop flood flows as a new protection method. The flood screens would be fixed to steel poles and have a mobile part that can lift up as water levels rise during a flood to protect land areas. This global architecture approach replaces walls with steel poles and uses a reinforced screen box that acts as a protective barrier against flooding.
