'You're a chav'
I buy all my clothes, save underwear, from Oxfam and the same,
Ready made meals never see my kitchen -
Instead large pans of boiling Epicureanesque broth and grain
Bubble and steam ready for their little freezer boxes, neatly labeled.
I read dusty little unshiny secondhand books; Lacan, Foucault, Rumi, too many to mention.
There's even a little Brian Cox and Greene in ...

Some Sort of Baby Food
Some Sort of Baby Food
It's just where to start, just where to begin,
The boy with a bomb in the Ostermilk tin,
With a chemists collusion the passing of cash,
Salt-peter, sulphur and ground charcoal ash.
The boy was quite young being just eight or nine,
The making of gunpowder well in his time,
A bomb or a banger 'just questions of scale',

Grains Of Sand
Peer amid the Pyramids
Can you count the grains of sand?
There are more than enough there
to build pathways to a new land.
Cement them all together then
and let's do the same with man,
make the effort to bring strength
and peace that all can understand.
For in the end there will be a need
for peace if mankind is to survive,
as only without these conflicts can
we hope to ha...

The Nearly Moon (revised draft)
I watch and stand
and let a passing cloud
hit by moonlight
make a rimmed spectacle
of a distant want.
I shift my weight and
and recall wordless
feelings before
putting into words
those useless
It's the words,
with their wanton
un-mouthed ache,
that bleat silently
against the ear
tangle those
as yet un-marked

polar bear love song
Oh polar bear rolling,
So tousled, so rumpled
such spikeywet furrings
so fluff and so jumpled
And growlings and strokings
And grumping and gruffing
And paddy paws loving
Bear tender and rubbing
And rolling and butting
And nuzzling caresses
Oh polar bear loving -
It always impresses!

Winter Walk
December evening crisply cold
solitary stroll in falling snow
with soft breath starflakes cloud dispersed
soundless feet through lamplight of old globes
like full moons lifted in Atlas arms

from the gaping box into the steaming washtu...

Fire in my head
Burns in my heart
Rams in my gut
Soothes in my flesh
A sword to stroke
Love thrusts on it
Up and deep
It's more than this
Riding on you
Giddy up down
And you in me
The thread is my blood
A psychic bind
A fetish chain
Which ties us
Always to you
And each other.
You resist
A bit.
But never for long...

Buried Birds
Where do birds bury their dead?
I know they do…
Walking in woodlands,
Parks, leafy streets
Cross-cut with instant meadow
Inter-lacing gardens, cross-hatched
With secretly nesting winged-wonders
Emerging to eat, scavenge, court,
Talk, endlessly talk..
Now the muffling commune of ice
Has freed blind stores of food
Beyond this killer camp of cold

Perfect line
We are all dots … just waiting
to be connected to each other.
We mirror fingerprints to find a match.
Planets align as ink lines draw freely.
For a while, on borrowed time,
we find formation in crimson skies.
In backlit flight we say goodbye
To a once engaging perfect line.

I'm a Prick
I get confused when poetry compares women to flowers.
I guess men waste words on paper
just for the sake of getting laid.
It isn't like she is actually chlorophyl or petals.
He can't promise eternal love
or endless orgasms.
I recycle every soppy poem I write.
Maybe I've never been in love,
or I'm just not a prick.

The Waiting
It's been a disgustingly long time since I blogged! I'm not quite sure why I've been so remiss. But I HAVE been writing, so I'll share something now. This is a little mini-narrative I concocted, when asked to write a poem on the theme of either 'violence' or 'silence'. I think that the following falls into both categories. But see what you think...

it is not cowardice
to opt out and walk away
when it becomes misery filled
then it is not worth it

practical considerations hatched
out of the egg of failure

Viewed from below
the world is shallow
an irregular trickle
that settles so little
time and space just to wallow
and splash a feint shadow
to flush out tomorrow
and fashion a tableau
in which God and the Devil
by turns pull and tug
a perpetual struggle
for control of the plug.

In a reprieve over zero degrees

On the floor, its like they corroded.

And I've burnt the Christmas cake.

And the robin, that looks drunk.

whistling through your teeth,
tapping on the wall.

It's a soccer ball. It's an electrical generator. It's innovation and social entrepreneurship out to save the world. It's everything that's wrong with international development today. .
Since learning of the SOCCKET a couple weeks ago, I've been perplexed by the lack of critical chatter in the development blogosphere. We shredded 1 millions shirts, bruised World Vision over its Superbowl t-shirt debacle, and happily beat the hell out of PlayPump. So why the awkward silence over the SOCCKET, which to me looks to become PlayPump 2.0? Even Bill Easterly was surprisingly light-handed on his blog after his initial tweet saying that "Lant Pritchett gave this [SOCCKET] as a hilarious example of what's wrong with development today". I thought this was a prelude of much snarky scrutiny to follow. Instead he writes, "Now I'm not going to do what you expect and get all crotchety at this point and say this is all useless nonsense." I say, "Why not?"
As far as I can tell, the SOCCKET is just another example of donor-driven development deserving of some seriously snarky jibes. Maybe everyone's just getting tired of pointing out the same basic fallacies again and again to well-intentioned social entrepreneurs and the donors they market to. And, as TOMS shoes has proven, people's aspiration to do something both easy and good for the world (and, in the case of TOMS, the appeal of winning social kudos for displaying these philanthropic impulses) trumps our efforts to say, "hold on a minute, there's a problem here; this is not good aid!"
The SOCCKET sounds pretty cool. I'd like to have one quite frankly. It's a soccer ball with a gyroscopic mechanism inside that captures the energy of motion and converts it into clean electricity. It's a soccer ball and it's a mobile six-watt power generator. Cool. I'd take mine to the beach. According to the story on their website, Unchartered Play, the maker of the SOCCKET, was founded to "show the world that doing good and doing good business need not be mutually exclusive." The thing is, I wonder both about the good they claim to be doing and about how their business model demonstrates 'good business' rather than say, so-so charity.
Cost-Benefit Failure. Uncharted Play says that 1.6 million people are killed by alternatives to the SOCCKET. Specifically, they are referring to the effects of harmful emissions from kerosene lamps, diesel generators, and wood burning stoves. I'll accept that. But what I won't swallow is that the SOCCKET is a sound alternative to these. There are already many far cheaper and more efficient solar/LED alternatives to kerosene lamps available for lighting (like this or this or this). There are also many other clean-burning alternative cookstoves out there. Although the SOCCKET is cheaper than some of these, I can't imagine how it could possibly compete as a family's primary source of cooking heat. Plugging a hot plate into a soccer ball with the power output equivalent of four AA batteries is just not culturally or practically commensurate with cooking on a fuel-burning stove. As far as diesel generators go, this is really a stretch. Communities use diesel generators to produce large amounts of electricity – as in several thousand watts of electricity. You would need 1000 SOCCKETs to equal the power output of a single 6000 watt diesel generator.* That would cost donors $60,000 (at $60 per SOCCKET) vs. $2-5,000 for a decent diesel generator. I don't know how to calculate the comparison between diesel fuel for the generator and food fuel for the caloric input required to power 500 hours of kids kicking these SOCCKETs around for a charge, but I'm guessing the diesel's cheaper.** Maybe I'm thinking too much like an economist here, but this doesn't seem like a sound option for replacing community diesel generators. I hope this isn't an example of the 'doing good business' thinking at the foundation of Uncharted Play.
Targeting Failure. Uncharted Play says that 1/4 of people in the world live without access to reliable electricity. Again, I'll accept that. And then I'll wring my hands and ask "What can I do about it?" I can give a soccer ball/electrical generator to children living in one of 19 countries through their 'unique distribution process'. Now, certainly these countries were selected because they represent some of the most glaring cases of need, right? Wrong. Eleven of the 19 countries have rates of access to electricity higher than their own statement of global need. Let me say that again – most of their targeted countries have above average access to electricity. For example, you can give a SOCCKET to a kid in Brazil, where 97.8% of the population has access to electricity. Or China (99.4%), Mexico (98.5%), Cuba (97%), Dominican Republic (95.9%)…shall I continue? As I read their list of places where you can donate a ball, few rank in the bottom half of their respective regions for access to electricity.*** I mean, if you were going to target an electricity access intervention based on need, there's just no way that Brazil, Mexico, and China make the cut.
Now, certainly there are pockets of people in these countries that don't have access to electricity, and we might assume that their distribution partners are targeting intra-nationally to reach these people. But many of their targeted countries have largely shown a capacity to supply their populations' demands for electricity through governmental and/or private service providers. The basic problem here is that distribution is based on the supply of distribution partners rather than a mindful targeting based on unmet demand. Shoot, there I go again sounding like an economist, what with all this talk of supply and demand.
Market Force Failure. Speaking of supply and demand, the most egregious thing about this 'good business' model is that the buyer, the distributer, and the user are all three different. In other words, the families that get these things don't have to be convinced they are worth the $60 Unchartered Play is charging for them. They get them for free. Of course kids eyes are lighting up with free soccer balls that are all gadgety with a plugin light. Ask their parents to cough up even $30 for one, though, and I bet you'd have a pretty hard time moving these things in rural villages across Malawi or El Salvador or Laos. I'm not sure the SOCCKET would survive long if its makers were accountable to the end users for the value of the good – unless maybe they sold them online at The Sharper Image.**** Take TOMS shoes for example – priced at over $50 a pair in the US, they only fetch $1.25 in the Haitian marketplace. Ouch.
Luckily for Unchartered Play, the business model divorces their revenue from consumers' cost-benefit calculations. They don't have to convince the end user that the SOCCKET is a good deal, they only have to convince a donor that they're a good deal. How do you do that? Insinuate that you can provide poor villagers with reliable electricity, save 1.6 million lives, and save up to 30% of families' incomes. Paint a mental image of needy children discovering joy, line up smiling celebrity endorsements, and use words like 'innovation' and 'eco-friendly'. Tell them, "give a SOCCKET – for $60 you can make a world of difference."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the 'business model' of a charity, not a social enterprise.
Oh, Joy! PlayPump 2.0. Play is great – awesome even. I totally support the right of children the world over to play. I think keeping 'joy at the forefront of our lives' is a great aspect of Uncharted Play's mission. But will it still feel like play when daily access to a basic need like light or cooking heat is tied to it? In the marketing pitch, the SOCCKET runs on child play. But I suspect that with extended use in the real world, kids and parents will tire of having to invest 30 minutes into kicking the ball around to get back 3 hours of relatively limited light. Might the reliance on child play end up being a source of child labour?
The PlayPump is an instructive forebear to the SOCCKET. Its maker, Roundabout Water Solutions, also talked about joy, claiming to "bring joy and access to clean drinking water" by utilizing the rotational movement of children at play to pump water. According to them, "Playing on a roundabout or merry-go-round has always been fun for children, so there is never a shortage of 'volunteers.'" But, this claim was not borne out in the field. Owen Scott, an aid worker with Engineers Without Borders Canada in Malawi documented his observations in a remarkable series of six blogs, noting "Each time I've visited a PlayPump, I've always found the same scene: a group of women and children struggling to spin it by hand so they can draw water." WaterAid refused to adopt the PlayPumps technology, in part, because it's "reliance on child labour." Owen's fourth post in the series includes a video of local teachers pleading with aid organizations to stop building the PlayPumps.
Like the SOCCKET, the PlayPumps were a relatively expensive and relatively inefficient solution to a basic needs access problem that required an inordinate amount of kinetic energy input for the output given back. Like SOCCKET, they were marketed to donors who paid to have them built by the hundreds (thousands?). Eventually, the realities of the lame cost-benefit equation could no longer be ignored and their construction has all but ceased, replaced by the reliable if unremarkable, proven if uninnovative, old school hand pump.
To use Laura Freschi's language when talking about the PlayPump, I suspect the SOCCKET will for a time "represent the triumph of bad but photogenic solutions in a broken aid marketplace" and be shown to be another "donor-pleasing, top-down solution that simply [doesn't] fit many of the target communities." To use Owen Scott's language when talking about the PlayPump, I think the SOCCKET illustrates well the "triumph of rich-country whimsy over poor-country relevance. It illustrates how standards, like basic cost-benefit analysis, that are routinely applied to public expenditure in developed countries, aren't applied to our foreign aid spending." It is the quintessential donor-driven development intervention. It is a solution dreamt up by innovators in the rich world, marketed and sold to donors in the rich world, and dumped into needy communities. Because it's free, there's no incentive for communities to even bring up the opportunity costs involved. I guess that's where we, the snarky development bloggers come in.
Why it Matters. Look, I actually like these guys over at Unchartered Play. I like their mission; I like what they're trying to do. I think they'll sell lots and lots of SOCCKETS. They seem like a smart, innovative, and distractingly attractive team of people. The co-founders are even fellow Harvardians. I'd like to be friends with these folks. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure this blog post blunts that possibility. So why am I socking it so hard to their beloved SOCCKET? (bah-dump-bump.)
The SOCCKET is a pretty cool innovation that deserves a shot to live or die in the marketplace. What bothers me, though, is that its impact in the developing world as a solution to scarce electricity access is just way oversold. It's not just that I figure the cost-benefit ratio of their product fails to be competitive against other alternatives to kerosine lamps and wood burning stoves, or against diesel generators. It's not just that they are grossly mistargeting countries on energy access grounds. It's not just that their business model side-steps direct market forces that might otherwise determine that their product's cost exceeds its actual value – making them functionally a charity, not a sustainable social enterprise. It's not even that the SOCCKET has yet to prove its relevancy in the field under extended use. It's all of this coupled with the fact that their super slick marketing all but guarantees that thousands of these things will get fabricated and shipped all over the world, crowding out donor dollars that could be going into field-tested, rigorously-proven development interventions that have actually been shown to 'make a world of difference'.
I know that when innovation is involved, competition for aid dollars isn't a perfect zero-sum game, but donor dollars make, to a substantial degree, a finite pie. They aren't as sexy or innovative or gadgety, but bed nets, deworming pills, bore holes, some improved cooking stoves, or chlorine dispensers at water sources beat the pants off of the SOCCKET as 'tools to address major issues facing society today.' And, when donors get caught up in the excitement of well-marketed, but ultimately ill-conceived interventions, less money is available for that which is proven. Granted, these proven interventions don't help much with the last part of Uncharted Play's mission statement to keep 'joy at the forefront of our lives'. … Unless you think supporting proven cost-effective interventions that help people live longer, healthier, more educated lives is something worth getting all joyful about.

Making Silicon Chips
From Sand to Circuits
The surprising process behind Intel® technology
The World's Most Advanced Manufacturing
Today silicon chips are everywhere. Intel creates industry-leading and world-first silicon products. These Intel® chips are some of the most complex devices ever manufactured, requiring advanced manufacturing technology. Step into a modern "fab" where Intel makes its chips, and you'll discover a range of sophisticated processes spanning close to a million square feet of space.
Driving all Forms of Digital Innovation
Intel chips power Ultrabook™ devices, smartphones, tablets, high performance computing, data centers, and the Internet. They automate factories and are embedded in automobiles and everyday devices. The most sophisticated processor can contain hundreds of millions or billions of transistors interconnected by fine wires made of copper. Each of these transistors acts as an on/off switch, controlling the flow of electricity through the chip to send, receive, and process information. Chips today may have multiple cores.
Silicon, the principal ingredient in beach sand, is a natural semiconductor and the most abundant element on Earth except for oxygen.
To make wafers, silicon is purified, melted, and cooled to form an ingot, which is then sliced into discs called wafers. Chips are built simultaneously in a grid formation on the wafer surface in a fabrication facility or "fab."
A chip is a complex device that forms the brains of every computing device. While chips look flat, they are three-dimensional structures and may include as many as 30 layers of complex circuitry.
Clean Rooms
Chips are fabricated in batches of wafers in clean rooms that are thousands of times cleaner than hospital operating rooms.
Bunny Suits
Fab technicians wear special suits, nicknamed bunny suits, designed to keep contaminants such as lint and hair off the wafers during chip manufacturing.
The way a chip works is the result of how a chip's transistors and gates are designed and the ultimate use of the chip. Design specifications that include chip size, number of transistors, testing, and production factors are used to create schematics—symbolic representations of the transistors and interconnections that control the flow of electricity though a chip.
Designers then make stencil-like patterns, called masks, of each layer. Designers use computer-aided design (CAD) workstations to perform comprehensive simulations and tests of the chip functions. To design, test, and fine-tune a chip and make it ready for fabrication takes hundreds of people.
Fabrication and Test
The "recipe" for making a chip varies depending on the chip's proposed use. Making chips is a complex process requiring hundreds of precisely controlled steps that result in patterned layers of various materials built one on top of another.
A photolithographic "printing" process is used to form a chip's multilayered transistors and interconnects (electrical circuits) on a wafer. Hundreds of identical processors are created in batches on a single silicon wafer.
Once all the layers are completed, a computer performs a process called wafer sort test. The testing ensures that the chips perform to design specifications.
High-performance Packaging
After fabrication, it's time for packaging. The wafer is cut into individual pieces called die. The die is packaged between a substrate and a heat spreader to form a completed processor. The package protects the die and delivers critical power and electrical connections when placed directly into a computer circuit board or mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet.
Intel makes chips that have many different applications and use a variety of packaging technologies. Intel packages undergo final testing for functionality, performance, and power. Chips are electrically coded, visually inspected, and packaged in protective shipping material for shipment to Intel customers and retail.

This week's story was The Apple Pie That Papa Baked by Lauren Thompson. We discussed the format, how the book starts at the end of the story (or process of making apple pie) and works back to the beginning. Then we used story cards to put the steps of making an apple pie in order.
Each student got to take a turn clipping their story card onto our story line (jump rope), and at the end we ended up with the complete story line pictured above.
Then we told our own story. Our story began, "On the last day of summer vacation I..." Each student took a turn adding something to the story, after each addition we recapped all the previous additions to the story. There were lots of giggles when someone tried to sneak something in about going "potty" on their turn. Ah, to be a preschooler again.

One of the signature segments of "The Colbert Report" is "The Word," in which Stephen Colbert takes an issue of the day and comically deconstructs it to its bare essence, usually in four syllables or less. With the news that Colbert will replace David Letterman on CBS's "Late Show" next year, the Comedy Central host should be mulling one key word: Reinvention.
Colbert, who has brilliantly portrayed a blowhard conservative commentator for nearly a decade, is a great choice to succeed Letterman, who announced his retirement last week after 32 years of helping reinvent late night TV comedy.
But Colbert's biggest challenge will be to create a new character: himself.
Colbert first came to prominence in 1998 on "The Daily Show," playing an obnoxious newsman, probably best known for the "Even Stephven" bit in which he squared off in escalating bitter debates against Steve Carell, then one of the fake news show's correspondents. Carell, of course, went on to greater fame in "The Office" and movies like "The 40-Year-old Virgin," showing strong versatility.
U.S. & World
There's little doubt that the equally talented Colbert is capable of stretching and filling the Letterman role, leaving behind the friendly shadow cast by Jon Stewart and "The Daily Show." Still, it might take Colbert a while to find his comic voice outside of his iconic Bill O'Reilly-takeoff persona – and for fans to get used to him as himself.
As Colbert said Thursday in a statement, "I won't be doing the new show in character, so we'll all get to find out how much of him was me."
What is clear is that he'll arrive at CBS armed with one of the sharpest, quickest wits in show business.
At 49, Colbert is among a generation of performers equally influenced by Letterman and Johnny Carson. Like Letterman – and one of his new major network competitors, Letterman acolyte Jimmy Kimmel of ABC – Colbert knows the value of a well-aimed barb. Like Carson, Colbert is comfortable with a wide range of guests, including authors, politicians and academics.
Like recently minted "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon, Colbert has a strong singing voice and is adept at mixing music with comedy (perhaps a good reason to keep Letterman sidekick Paul Shaffer and his "World's Most Dangerous Band" around). Colbert and NBC's Fallon, who memorably teamed on an epic version of the pop treacle "Friday" in 2011 and waged a fake feud to get flavors of Ben & Jerry's ice cream named after themselves, now find themselves in a potential Letterman-and-Leno-like TV cold war.
Colbert, who reportedly is bringing his writers with him to "Late Show," is poised to distinguish his edition of "Late Show" by consistently delivering a strong, topical monologue with more political edge than his rivals. Maybe he'll even carry "The Word" with him a half-mile over from his Comedy Central studio to the Ed Sullivan Theater, where he'll reign through at least 2020, barring an unwise move from New York.
In the meantime, the word is out on Colbert as he vies to prove that his defining role will be playing himself.

Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) are the most commonly used type of medication for back pain. They work by blocking a substance called prostaglandin. Normally, prostaglandins dilate blood vessels (leading to increased blood flow) and promote inflammation, both of which can contribute to pain. By stopping the usual actions of prostaglandins, NSAIDs help reduce pain and inflammation.
NSAIDs are available over-the-counter or by prescription. They are either seletive or non-selective. The prescription versions are generally stronger and last longer.
Non-selective NSAIDs include:
Selective NSAIDs include:
Regular use of non-selective NSAIDs, especially long-term use, can have serious complications like ulcers, bleeding from your gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and kidney damage. (Selective COX-2 inhibitors, however, may be associated with a lower risk of ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding.) You are at particular risk of developing ulcers from these drugs (including bleeding ulcers) if you:
NSAIDs can cause or worsen the following conditions:

Legal professional
I'm keen to re-design legal-proceses and -products.
Manager Internal Control
I'm working as Manager Internal Control for Aegon, with special interest in Privacy and Behavior. In those topics I notice a lot of text and little visuals in for example Privacy statements or Code of Conducts. For Enterprise Riskmanagement Aegon had a visual frequently used by Riskmanagement and business in reports. With my team we are working on a new privacy statement and I was tipped by Aegon Global Privacy Officer on this site and subject.
For my education (Master Riskmanagement) I am investigating the possibility and benefits of a more visual statement.
Contract management
I work as a contract manager in the aerospace industry. I often work with engineers to make sure that a program's needs are met through the resulting contract. I find that engineers and members of the program team find contracts boring and/or "in the way" of doing what the members of the program team needs to do.

Lawyer and Legal Tech Entrepreneur. Specialized in IT and IP Law.
As a Lawyer involved in the technology business, I can tell there are great validated assumptions to have some certainty that legal services can be completely transformed and redesigned to better serve its users.
Traditional Law Practice: Criminal, Civil and Administrative Litigation (70%). Contracts Drafting and Negotiation (30%). New Law: Legal Products Development (Standardization of legal processes/services offered as products).
Most of the legal difficulties faced by people and organizations in Mexico derive from the lack to access of legal information and advice. And lawyer`s bad reputation and expensive fees tends to keep them away. That´s my call after going through 3 different law firms practicing mostly criminal and civil litigation for around 10 years (2008-17). Having a LLM experience (UC Berkeley- class 17) gave me (i) the opportunity to contrast Mexico´s reality and my ideas with a community of top ranked professionals from all around the world, and (ii) the tools
to idealize and create My Dear Lawyers (my proposal to solve people-lawyers distancing).
My Dear Lawyers was launched last November 20th by Co-Founders Luis Rivera, Daniel Guillén Zolezzi and myself. We develop and produce standardized and affordable legal products to cover people´s primary legal needs.

The law is a tool that everyone should be able to understand and use.

Visual thinking, product design, drawing, design for interaction.
As a designer, I find it very important that the quality of all our products, be it physical or virtual, is very high. With which I mean a high `ease-of-use' and accessibility for as large a group as users as possible.
In the context of Legal Design Thinking, one can easily see that the current state of legal documents does not meet this standard. There is a movement going on to improve this, and

In my daily work as an ICT lawyer I always try to provide legal advice in a creative non-conventional manner that suits the requirements of my client and his audience (eg. consumers, website users etc). Improving my legal design skills will help me being a better lawyer.
It is also a great excuse to introduce a more playful approach into the legal profession. Having a basic capability in legal design is a skill set I believe every attorney/lawyer should have available.

Your skills
Why do you think Legal Design Thinking is important? Why would you want to become one the Visual Contracts co-creators?
Im a young lawyer passionate about legal technology and innovation. Im currently studying a masters degree in Information Technology Management. I have worked in IP for sometime now. Im the chapter leader of Legal Hackers Monterrey.
I have always been a very creative, open-minded, possibility-driven kind of person. During law school, many of my fellow classmates continuously teased me that I was not going to be a practicing lawyer because of my non-traditional approach at law.
Legal Counsel/ Attorney At Law
I am an Attorney at Law and organization strategist who helps solving corporate disputes and fundamental liberties issues. People associate lawyers with hefty fees and this is not far from the truth.

I look for ways to make things better and to create products or services that make the world a better place.
I would like to use my legal skills to help people in most efficient and effective way possible through integrating legal design, business viability and technology.
Inclusive Designer and User Researcher (and ex Lawyer)
In my previous life, I was a Human Rights and Public Law lawyer working across education, prison, deprivation of liberty, social security, housing, and immigration. I've also worked in International Law at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, in Ramallah, and elsewhere. Wanting to explore innovation and design solutions to social issues, I left legal practice in 2017 to retrain as a Designer. Now, as a User Researcher and Designer, I work across information, physical and digital product, and service. I specialise in Inclusive Design, seeking to research and design products, services and information that is accessible to and inclusive of all in society.
I am a recent graduate of IT Law MA and the experiences I gained during

My background is in architecture. I'm architect. Throughout over 20 years I have been serving other designers in the industry. First on visual communication, making their visions into images and animations using always the latest computing power and most advanced rendering solutions. Later on, these days, core focus is on BIM (building information modelling) pipelines including the visual collaboration.From where we get to the point: visual contracts. We know that lot of troubles still emerge at real construction sites specially among sub-contractors when they clash on contract borders. For that to happen less we built an application to capture the spoken promise into a trusted video contract.
Attorney-at-law specialized in commercial contracts, IT and privacy law.
As an attorney-at-law at Pellicaan Advocaten I am always aiming to deliver the best services to my clients. In my opinion it is essential that my advice and the contracts and statements I draft are as accessible and clear as possible. As the law can be very complex and full of terms that have a certain judicial overtone this can be challenging.

Establishment means the Queen does not belong equally to us all
Posted: Wed, 15 Feb 2012
In a speech at Lambeth palace, the Queen told the Archbishop of Canterbury how inclusive the Church of England is and how important its establishment is to the nation.
She said "The concept of our established Church is occasionally misunderstood and, I believe, commonly under-appreciated. Its role is not to defend Anglicanism to the exclusion of other religions. Instead, the Church has a duty to protect the free practice of all faiths in this country. It certainly provides an identity and spiritual dimension for its own many adherents."
Terry Sanderson, president of the National Secular Society, said:
"The Queen has a strong religious faith. For her to express her enthusiasm for that faith among religious leaders is appropriate and I'm sure they appreciated it. But her depiction of the Church of England as inclusive is a little hard to swallow.
"In the past public office was reserved exclusively for communicants of the Established Church. The National Secular Society has been concerned since its foundation in 1866 about the lack of inclusiveness of the Anglican Church in England. On four occasions, our founding president, Charles Bradlaugh was elected to represent the people of Northampton but was each time refused permission to take the necessary oath to take his seat in Parliament because he was an atheist. That only changed because progressive campaigners and secularists pressed for a more inclusive society.
"In its history the Church of England has excluded Catholics, Jews, atheists – indeed, the Act of Settlement still forbids a Catholic to take the throne. So this rewriting of history is a bit disingenuous.
"In a vastly diverse society such as ours, it is unsustainable that this tiny denomination (less than a million people attend CofE services on the average Sunday) should have such extensive privileges.
"Yet, still today, the Church of England alone enjoys world-class privileges which are the very antithesis of inclusivity. Above all, it continues to enjoy representation in our legislature through its nomination of 26 bishops in the House of Lords. It is the only religious body in a western democracy to have such power. The bishops who sit in Parliament have real power, and exercise it. A quarter of publicly funded schools are under the control of the Church of England, far more than any other religious body. The entire running costs of these schools are paid for by the state, yet many of them exclude local children in favour of those from farther away whose families are, or claim to be, Christian.
"The Queen is regarded by many as a great unifier in Britain. But her position as both head of state and head of the Church of England sends the wrong message to the many, many people in this country who are not Christians – or who are not even the right kind of Christians.
"Prince Charles has already signalled that he intends to change the Coronation Oath so that he can be the defender of all faith rather than the defender of the faith (Anglicanism). So this will essentially cut the exclusive link between the monarchy and the Church of England. It also further alienate those without faith as being somehow unworthy. The best, indeed only, way to ensure inclusion for all is for there to be no religious promise in the accession oath. Although it is unlikely that the Queen would want to change the oath she made at her own coronation, it is clear that the days of the Church of England's privileged status are numbered.
"The Monarch should reign over a country of equals. That is certainly not what the establishment represents, and multi-faith establishment raises more problems than it solves."

'Grow Heathrow' Eviction Threat! Our support needed
by Shaun Chamberlin on August 24th, 2010
The beautifully tended squatted community garden in Sipson, Heathrow has been served a court summons for eviction.
On the 1st of March this year the neglected plot on the planned site of the third runway was reclaimed, and for the last six months the Transition Heathrow team have worked with residents to rejuvenate, nay transform, the former market garden. They have shifted over 30 tonnes of rubbish from the site and set it to growing seasonal food, hosting workshops, teaching permaculture skills and even laying on a banquet for eighty people!
This 'Grow Heathrow' project is part of a budding land movement in the UK linking communities who are taking back control of our food production, as well, of course, as supporting the successful No Third Runway campaign.
Their work in building resilience into the community is a great example of developing alternatives to the dominant system which is hurling us all towards environmental (and economic) catastrophe.
They are in negotiations with the landowners for long-term community ownership, but in the meantime they need our support. They ask for three things: Read more »

An essay is thus, a literary initiative to describe and comprehend a situation, to the best ability of the author. Writing a meaningful and strong essay has been one of the most intriguing mysteries of the academic world. As the scope of an essay is immense, close to infinity, there can be in no proven or scientific parameter to gauge the intensity of an essay. An essay can be anything and everything which can perfectly explain and comment on a given subject.
