Sustainable Development

I`ve passed Sustainable Development final exam and last quiz! :)
Author: ANNAmain • Date: 28 April 2014 at 12:06 PM No comments

I`ve finished The Age of Sustainable Development course by Jeffrey Sachs en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Sachs  . The chain of changes started when I met Jeffrey Sachs at Gaidar Forum 15 of January 2014, it was the first day of the Forum, Green energy section.  At 21 of January 2014 the course started.

I founded the course class.coursera.org/susdev-001  by a chance, having no ideas such course exists. Then I studied it for 14 weeks. 

14 weeks of new experience. I was exciting by the course, so well structured so it made the whole picture. Having my own academical experience, I daresay it is not easy to make the whole picture of so complicated, important subject. Deep involvement by the author, prof.  Sachs, was the best to linkthe knowledge to real processes of our life. So first of all I want to express my deep respect and gratitude to prof.Jeffrey Sachs about that course.

It was several moments when I moaned about quezes,  because such style of education cut my integral vision into small pieces, a painful process sometimes.

One day I`d realized it was helpful so I developed more tolerance to it.

I communicated with many people from the course which becomes my friends.

Several of them became my best friends who shared their experience participating our activities during the course: Natalia Viliaeva from Russia  www.facebook.com/natalya.vilyaeva  , Tony Toledo from Philippines www.facebook.com/tony.toledoRaven Moondancer from USA www.facebook.com/raven.moondancer  , Ilia Alomia from Equador www.facebook.com/ilia.alomiaAnita Venter from South Africa www.facebook.com/flowerfountain   .

I was inspired by my friends who did the education work being persistent and patiend and so with more success. An exellent students! The great lesson for me how to do things in order to make it done in particular way, strict and straight, with full attention, even being busy.

Being a witness how people work with full attention to educational process, I made new atempts to improve my own results.  I studied how to be accurate to small details more (much more) then I used to be before.

Learning Sustainable Development I developed new sustainability within.

Yesterday I passed the final exam. It was the same challenge as I had by quezes to cut my integral vision into pieces and be careful with all of it.

Now I have passed the last 14 quiz. Several new details from it compliment my plans so well so I want to start writing, mind mapping, sketching immideately.

Where is my pens, brushes, my tablet pc for mindmapping?

smile


It was the deep feeling of involvement because many things from the course concerns my life purposes. Many of them represented in the plan I prepared during last 4 years.

I am carrying  the project seems world wide,  concerns many parts of Sustainable development goals in action, with social inclusive, knowledge community, integrated with business and culture life,  changing, challenging.

I observe last 4 month from January to the present moment as one of the most important period in my life. Just 4 month and things becames so clear in natural way, this is a kind of magic I can`t stop wondering.

Now I have to make some yoga trening to adjust myself into more sustainable mind set. A small pause is required.

Then I will start to write mindmaps, draft documents for the project and I hope to go ahead.

Sustainable Project: How to create
Author: ANNAmain • Date: 23 April 2014 at 09:28 AM No comments

Sustainability is our future as we all want to have a future. That`s why we should pay attention about it while we are creating a project with a good potential. Today so many things comes and disappears in short time, our time itself is so fast so it needs to make right start for the development. I am doing it now.

What is a sustainable base to any project? Of course, resourses available, includes own skills and time. For sure, a sustainable project needs courage, enthusiasm and knowledge. Some risks should be put under insurance.

The question is: what can be the core to drive everything faster? How to guarantee the project work in different circumstances?

Many things changes, or can change, for sure will change, so how to impart a project with flexibility under control?

The base thing nesessary for such work is a concept.

Our bodies need skeleton with specific features, possibilities of stretching and firm support. The same way a sustainable project needs a concept. Concept is the bones, chords, joints and so flexible structure which make a project alive and normally growth. Flexible and firm, it allows us to react quickly, to be proactive in many situations, to catch a chance and prevent from overuseing a situation to cause the danger of premature aging.

Not an easy thing!

So…

So sustainability needs a concept bases on knowledge, analysis, experience and skills.

Also it needs to be creative to provide something new to the world in order to make it better place.

That`s the reason I delay my painting until the concept will be finished.

The main concept has finished. Surrounding concepts (middle and smaller "bones") are half-finished which is enough to start.

I will write more later, now I have to make post, do my yoga and go on, go on, go on!

Sustainable Development: Knowledge Management
Author: ANNAmain • Date: 21 April 2014 at 12:22 PM No comments

We live in informational era. This is the blessing, this is the curse because of too many facts, fictions, opinions, declarations, claims, adverts etc are floating around, knocking into our mind. So the most important thing is to divide right from wrong, constructive from destructive.

This is the way of sustainable development: to create new system of knowledge, flexible enough to use information in creative way, protected enough to be safe from destructive forces. So the first task is to gain it is to organize all information in new clusters, new neuro network, suitable to use it in time.

This is ther eason I pay so much attention to organize datas. This is nothing interesting just to read a book in order to spend unexpectable free time. I prefer to create something or just to meditate instead. But choosing a sourse of information I strongly chek it structure: is it a golden mine or a kind of one-moment scrap-heap of common facts, useless tomorrow.

Sometimes I see a strange agglomerates of information which takes my attention. it is no clear from the first view what a trreasure of knowledge can be hidden inside. So I start to make a kind of digging and invest my time to it.

That example show how I investigated Mahabharata teaser. In 2 minutes it was incredible density of information which is unusual so I desided to put everything in a kind of conspect. Plans and scenes, one by one… as I knew the original Mahabharata well enough to understand characters and circumstances, I was charmed with such huge density of information.

I started in order just to sketch some features concerns movie directing, then I realized this is a golden mine of information and drew every scene.

It was 96 different scenes in 2 min tieser.

From less then 1 sec to 10 sec each, full of dynamics. I was charmed how  the information of original saga was packed in special effects, camera movements, color of scenes, movements of characters. I founded how they created new message inside the ancient one. It took from me about 2 hours to make the conspect of 2 min introduction movie and I enjoyed every moment of it.

Now several words how to create sustainable informational clusters in own neuro network using the example of my conspect.

At first I had just the strong feeling this is something worth my attention. No ideas why, except I love Mahabharata and the old movie. Sometimes such feeling is the best compas, the same as captain Jack Sparrow had.

Then I started to make a draft conspect to investigate my own intuition. I was ready to make a part and stop in case the feeling comed down. But I founded much more then expected. It was still no clear idea how to use it, but it is not so nesessary in such cases. So I did the full conspect.

At the first page I wrote just the scene, character and camera movement.

Than I founded much more important information and did some notes. Then I founded the colors of scenes changes so it was a kind of information insode. I made notes about it too.

Then I marked the endurance of scenes because I realized it was important too.

The title of the movie appeared here and there, so I marked it too, with the particular place it occupied at the scene.

This example represents typical development of a project. Starting from deep feeling of perspectives, then collect information. then found better way to collect, then make special notes to analyse, and at the final stage it will be clear what shape the future project can  be.

Some words about the process.

Several times I was so tired, near to drop the conspect. But the feeling of importance drove me.

Now I have 4,5 pages conspect consists of 96 scenes with full description. I realized it as the best support to my future activities with movies.

At the end I made all conspect together and signed it t make sure I didn`t forget the exectly date and several small things around it. So it repreents a kind of self discipline towards drafts, sketches and others work information. This is really good to construct new activities using previous works easy and quick. So I made notes by hand for all progect although I have several laptops and planshets around.

The conclusion: as we want to construct sustainable development, all nesessity information should be organized the same sustainable way.

Thank you for your kind attention, I hope this example can be helpful for you.

Now I am going to paint Adizes Corporate Lifecycle: Energies dance.

Preparation make at least 30% success: is it right or wrong?
Author: ANNAmain • Date: 16 April 2014 at 11:11 AM No comments

Sometimes I feel furious about delay and want to grab my brushes and start to paint whatever it will be. I want it right now. It is good for new unknown things, for investigations, such a free fly through possibilities. However some projects need to be well prepared in order to make optimisation and clear understanding rather then just an impulse.

I force myself to make several conspects step-by-step descriptions about film directinf. I can`t clear explain why I need it. Because obviously I am not Holliwood and can`t make somethink like Avatar although my imagination force me for it.

Why I don`t start just to do a film with all matherials I already have? Why I don`t try to make something simple and sufficient?

May be because I want to be sure what more I can do. Not something from yesterday but from tomorrow.

I would like to investigate new things in one or more leel above my today possibilities. That`s why I am still on planing of my films, still polishing projects, learnig more, changing concepts.

Sometimes it needs more tricky ideas to overcome natural limitations, such as I have no movie about many previous paintings, only photos. As I don`t want the film boring, it should be think and rethink about possibilities. So I make many preparations trying to catch a liece of general idea here and there.

It seems, in usual things people know professionally this is no needs in long preparations. Having an impulse to create something I need just my tools, not more. Hoever in more lage, long term projects information comes by pieces so long preparation allows it to make better clusters in the brain neuronetwork.

That thoughts made me more tolerant with the delay so I have to analise how films are directed step by step.

Organizing the future
Author: ANNAmain • Date: 11 April 2014 at 07:47 AM No comments

So many things are waiting, so much I want to do. Last year I was working hard under 2 big progects "Cyber War, Section I" and "Adizes Corporate Lifecycle" and everything was clear. That year I want to base everything for United Nations Millenium Development Goals.

It`s not so easy because of many things I have to put into one concept. Like a MIndMap allows to change directions keeping the whole purposes, my today activity aimes to make the strong base to 50years future. May be even more… so it needs to be well organized.

After my boiling activities of the beginnning of the week I this is the time to be more quiet and gather my energy. I have to organize my work place well, to get another things out, to prepare everything for the project work in right places. Also to make some aesthetics in my surrounding. So this s the end of the week and quiet small movements, slow, careful shell over the huge energy waiting to the right moment penetrate from tomorrow to today.

A Grain of Sand: making Unity
Author: ANNAmain • Date: 08 April 2014 at 11:53 AM Comments(1)

This is the pure mistery how a process comes to the reality from unvisible world.

IN many ways to start, the right one is to make feelings so fine and the mind so silent and sharp just to be a witness how the smallest grain of isea`s sand drops into right media to became a pearl in future.

Sometimes I feel how something happens but have no ideas to what exectly it links. Unable to put things into one unity, in right sequence I feel myself burdened with many pieces. Just to survive I make drawings which can show me some hidden additional info. Then I try to combine it with events, circumstances, ideas, projects, time lines, people…

Several different events seems so different so I can`t count for what part of a puzzle it can be applyed. How and when all pieces comes together?

Sometimes a smallest grain make it possible.

Today it happened when I roamed here and there trying to catch the moment of truth and suddenly broke my middle lamp for painting.

Bammm!

No middle lamp any more.

This is the second time I do it with the same lamp and the same circumstances. And this is the second time it becomes the grain of sand.

Revising my project books yesterday I realized about 17 projects ready to be implemented, made in details, but with no right sequence. So it was delayed.

Today, exectly 30 min ago, I realized what to do and how the right sequence should be. Not should… how it must be to give "healthy birth" (the term by Dr.Ichak Adizes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichak_Adizes   whith whom I work now to visualize ideas into art objects with educational potential) to whole entity I carry.

That vision worth all waiting I suffered from. All small pieces comes together that way.

From the small grain of base concept, through our Coursera course "The Age of Sustainable Development" by Jeffrey Sachs  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Sachs , the course I will have my final exam next week…

All terms and subjects appears as a perls beaded on one string. So beautiful it is.

So rare that exciting feelings when the whole entity  blossoms into lotus of real projects, each petal is a new project which are united in one steam stretching to heaven.

I keep that feeling strong. Now, having it, I realized what my several days drawing means.

So, I see the whole post looks as a kind of puzzle. I made it to celebrate that significant moment, in which uncertain potential drops into future reality. Waiting produce fruits.

My deep gratitude to my friends who accompany me in all of my search.

My special thanks to Natalia Viliaeva www.facebook.com/natalya.vilyaeva , FreeCat the Hidden www.2a.ru , Maria Chudina www.facebook.com/maria.chudina.1  ,my best offline friends,

and my online friends from many countries all over the world:

Tony Toledo from Philippines www.facebook.com/tony.toledo , Raven Moondancer from USA www.facebook.com/raven.moondancer , Ilia Alomia from Equador www.facebook.com/ilia.alomia , Anita Venter from South Africa www.facebook.com/flowerfountain .

I will specify everything and everyone later, in the best moment for each.

For now it is the moment to pay my respect to human spirit who make union possible.

Thank you friends, I am going to work.

Sustainable Development: hidden infolinks
Author: ANNAmain • Date: 29 March 2014 at 11:04 PM Comments(3)

Time flows like a river, and it never stops. I dedicated 2,5 month being involved if FB activities.  It was completely unexpectable journey, because originally I was oriented to new project work in Sustainable development. However I delayed all for the sake to try if I can make some extras for people and if people accept it.

I had no ideas about to start one new unexpectable project before I hosted one event in a closed FB group and then tryed to illustrate the results.

Why I did it?

Codes. Pictures could enscript a huge amount of information to make access to deep subconsciousness proceses, much more quicker then normal thinking.

It is a long, long time since I finished my book writing in which I illustrated everything by myself. So 2 days ago it was a fresh air reminded me how it is cool to code clusters of information that way.

People perfer to  underestimate pictures and overestimate words. But words speak less then picture could because of special coding processes in human brain, usinf archetypes, dynamics and links to previous information.

So I guess members of the event just have a glance to pic having no interest how and what it scripted.
 

Lol, I coded in it many things.

Just starring to each picture I can make a big mind map or several, in a half of hour, with full details, with planing, with additional links to processing fields.

Some explanation if somebody wants to learn my method.

That one described lock-codes. In simple description by words it represents limitations, but it is not everything which encoded here. Angles and thikness of lines has meanings. Colours have meanings. Layers too.

That one coded 2 MindMaps concerns SWOT analysis (mutations) and several possible problem could be resolved from that processes. The same about lines, angles and colours.

That one is an illustration to remind me about the area of interest of Tony Toledo, my friend. That way I don`t forget it.

That one deducated to three operating matrix, one concerns the group and two concerns my own possibilities and projects by connections with UN.

That`s not just a funny pics. This is links. The maximum density of information, in it raw form as it represents in neuronetwork.  Better then zip archivetion.

A special technigue I developed to restore unwritten mind map from pic codes.

smile

So I like it.

Cool, do you think?

So.

Poor people who can touch just the surface of words.

Words use brain processes which cover much more then open.

So back to practice.

For me this is the time to close facebook for a while.

The only mathod to gain extra efficient work is to clean out extra words.

Swimming in freedom.

Pure information. Pure kinestetics.

Open new project line and go on, and go on.

Natural beauty, welcom!

Changes are coming, future are somewhere near
Author: ANNAmain • Date: 27 February 2014 at 01:47 PM No comments

We all have strong commitments with our future. Some people can feel it, some not. Some people trying many things to come into conclusion what`s not the true, what`s true. I feel future by several different senses. So it is important to gather all in one.

The way I have my visual diary, such as small funny drawings, is the best instrument to provide knowledge by intuition. From deepest feelings, senses from inside which feed all of my activities and motivate me all time, during years. This is so holographic view so I need to divide it`s streams sometimes.

Human languages have no appropriate words to describe it. May be we should create the special language. Now I use an analogy to describe how it is.

The first sense is Feelings of footprints of future. The same way as a dog can smell a feromons of the right person in crowded place. It is not the best feelings because I can`t see, I can`t decide and everything is unclear. Sometimes I don`t like everything around just keep the sense this is right place to start somehow.

The second is Locate as a dolphin. The same way as a dolphin`s sonar I can try a large curcle around, what`s it.

This is something which have my personal signs. I know one thing strongly, the essense of Sea must be presented in all right directions.

Of course it is a kind of symbolic description, but also the sea itself. Every time I found right way a sea is presented. So this is the core thing I will never forget.

The next feeling is Right Base & Tools.

As others Capricorns I prefer to have a solid base I trust and to have a high place I can observe horizon. While I can stand with right project which allows me to keep Sea Feelings, especially to see a real sea in front of me, I can be persistant, it doesn`t matter what`s going around. I can create from zero without any support, in such situation many people give up but I never do it. Because the choosen direction is proved as right.

Next feeling is Vision of Structures.

It comes simultaneously with the Base and Tools feelings. The best representation of it is Mind Maps.

It is not difficult for me to make a MindMap. It`s easy, because I feel it just above the subject. It covers the subject the same way as information links n Internet. I can see it, I can feel it. The point is how to make it more nerrow to put into real MindMap, so the size doesn`t frightened people.

The next is Right Place and Freedom to creation.

I made several different places at my home to cover all of my needs. No reason to be outside. Sometimes I force myself to go out, that`s why my Greecs Corfu holidays is so important - I will spend all of my time outside, sleep at my balcony and in the sea.

One of the last steps which allows me to be sure what to do is the text. People start from discussions and communications because others steps are unavailable for them. Poor people. That`s why they communicate for hours by words while the core answer is near above words.

I use words in professional way as a writer. Words must be organized in nesessery and sufficient position. Because it`s just the last step. That`s why I don`t like a mass in words. But I have to suffer with it because people generally prefer to communicate by words only. The thing I desire is to educate them to think in more efficient way. I see some attempts now exists, like scribing. It is good, but not enough from my taste.

Anyway, here it is the right words about.

I could speak about how 1 signal system provides an intuition, a holography picture of future, and how 2 signal sustem (words) destroy it, but this is the subject for later.

Just have a glance how the Future is coming, then take a breath and go on.
