Six principles of aikido negotiation by Irina Khakamada Aikido is the art of winning by being weaker. In this case, victory depends on: 1) the ability to return aggression, not putting a block, but letting it pass by. You are sensitive to your partner, like a partner in a dance. Maybe the role of a partner is unpleasant for men, well, then stand proudly at the wall ... without resources; 2) the ability to give the other party the freedom to make mistakes; 3) the ability to calculate the opponent's psychotype; 4) the ability to catch "your" wave in negotiations and sail on it, like on a board. The steeper the wave, the more interesting it is to slide on it. You have probably already understood the basic rules for conducting such negotiations: Forget about pride, which is not at all in the macho tradition.

The primary sector tends to make up a larger portion of the economy in developing countries than it does in developed countries secondary sector = economic sector in the three-sector theory which describes the role of manufacturing. It encompasses the industries which produce a finished, usable product or are involved in construction. This sector generally takes the output of the primary sector (i.e. raw materials) and creates finished goods suitable for use by other businesses, for export, or for sale to domestic consumers (via distribution through the tertiary sector). Many of these industries consume large quantities of energy and require factories and machinery tertiary sector = the area of industry that deals with services rather than materials or goods amenities = things that make you comfortable and at ease premises = building and land near to it that a business owns or uses real estate = property in the form of land or buildings retrofitting = addition of new technology or features to older systems earthship = brand of passive solar earth shelter that is made of both natural and upcycled materials such as earth-packed tires, pioneered by architect Michael Reynolds.

Are intended to be "off-the-grid-ready" homes, with minimal reliance on public utilities and fossil fuels. They are constructed to use available natural resources, especially energy from the sun and rain water. They are designed with thermal mass construction and natural cross-ventilation to regulate indoor temperature. The designs are intentionally uncomplicated and mainly single-story, so that people with little building knowledge can construct them off-the-grid = system and lifestyle designed to help people function without the support of remote infrastructure, such as an electrical grid. Off-the-grid homes aim to achieve autonomy; they do not rely on one or more of municipal water supply, sewer, gas, electrical power grid, or similar utility services. The term "off the grid" traditionally refers to the electrical grid only grey water = water which has been used at least once already. Typically it is filtered waste-water from sinks and showers. black water = water that has been used in a toilet. Earthships utilize anaerobic digestion in their septic tanks, which naturally separate solid waste. The black water is used in concrete cells containing plants, separate from the grey water plants in the greenhouse; it may also be used in exterior planters. Studies on the safety of growing food plants in a black water system show low levels of E. coli bacteria.

The law of measure (the boundaries of "necessary" and "sufficient", the law of action or the law of karma are just a special case of the law of measure). 3. The law of time (all events taking place in our world can only occur within a certain cycle of time. Then they become reality. Otherwise, if the time matrix does not coincide with the course of events, then the events remain in the unreal world. They never will happen). 4. The law of love (This is not the creation of greenhouse conditions for a person. If someone is truly loved, then they put him in a position where the best qualities begin to appear in him, and in parallel with this, the strength of the spirit is strengthened).

Conclusion How to live? Stop being afraid, stop worrying. To be in the right resource state (children's consciousness = interest + energy). Remove negativity and anger from your life, give happiness and love, live outside the matrix….

Etna, Europe’s highest and most active volcano, does not produce “10,000 times” more carbon dioxide (CO2) than “mankind has in our entire time on earth”. Contrary to a years-old meme containing this false statement, the combined activity of all volcanoes on earth is actually estimated to be a fraction of the CO2 emitted by human activity. In an email to Reuters, Boris Behncke, vulcanologist at the Etna Observatory of Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) ( here ) described the meme as “complete nonsense” and “misinformation”. According to the U.S. Geological Survey ( here ), published scientific estimates of the global CO2 emissions for all on land and submarine volcanos “lie in a range from 0.13 gigaton to 0.44 gigaton per year.” This is a fraction of the CO2 produced by human activity. In 2021, the global CO2 emissions from energy combustion and industrial processes alone reached a record high of 36.3 billion tonnes (or gigatons, GT), data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) showed ( here ). A graph by the IEA tracking the increase of emissions since 1899 is viewable ( here ) “On a global level, volcanoes currently emit just a few percent of the man-made CO2 production,” Bechkne said, highlighting that CO2 emissions of human activity have dramatically increased in the past decades, while volcanic emissions have not. Simon Carn, Professor of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences at Michigan Technological University, concurred and said the best estimates for Mt. Etna’s volcanic CO2 emissions are at “~3 million tons per year.” “Hence Etna’s CO2 emissions are roughly ~0.01% of anthropogenic emissions in a typical year. A single eruption of Etna would emit much less CO2, and so the percentage would be even smaller.” Large eruptions can indeed emit significant amounts of CO2, but these events are rare and are still small when compared with human emissions ( here ). https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-volcanoes-co2-idUSL1N2XV1HA

The campaign was preceded by a prolonged Russian military buildup since early 2021, and demands by Russia to legally prohibit Ukraine from joining NATO. At about 03:00 UTC (06:00 Moscow time, UTC+3) on 24 February, Russian president Vladimir Putin announced a military operation in eastern Ukraine; minutes later, missile strikes began at locations across the country, including Ukraine's capital Kyiv. The Ukrainian Border Service stated that its border posts with Russia and Belarus were attacked.[45][46] Multiple countries condemned the attack and imposed sanctions on Russia. The attack, which has been met with international condemnation, comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday recognised two breakaway regions held in eastern Ukraine by pro-Russian rebels as independent states and ordered troops into the territories. src: Wikipedia T / Cl The Russian spy boss humiliated by Putin Sergey Naryshkin was put on the spot for suggesting Russia consider giving the West one last ultimatum. If scriptwriters were behind the Kremlin’s videos, they would be in high demand by streaming platforms The dramatic intensity of the scene would make it stand out in any movie or piece of fiction, but it’s not fiction – it happened on Monday. Since then, all the world has seen the video of what took place. Russian President Vladimir Putin brings together his security council and asks each of its members whether they support the decision to recognize the independence of the self-proclaimed republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, located in southeastern Ukraine. It’s the turn of Sergey Naryshkin, head of the SVR foreign intelligence service, who breaks from the script and suggests that the West be given one last chance to return to the Minsk agreements, the series of international pacts signed between Russia and Ukraine to avoid war in the Donbas region of Ukraine. He suggests this could be done by giving the West a short-term ultimatum. Putin interrupts him dryly: “What does that mean? Are you suggesting we start negotiations or recognize sovereignty?” And that’s when the moment comes. Naryshkin starts to stutter, he doesn’t know what to say, he mumbles “yes” then “no,” and his face turns white for seconds that seem to last an eternity. “Speak clearly,” Putin interjects. Feeling the pressure, the spy chief does a U-turn and goes one step further: he says he supports the annexation of Donetsk and Luhansk into the Russian Federation. But he is again called out by Putin: “We’re not talking about that. We’re talking about recognizing their independence or not. Yes or no?” So the nervous Naryshkin takes back what he said once again: yes, yes, he supports it. “Thanks, you can take your seat.” https://english.elpais.com/opinion/2022-02-23/the-russian-spy-boss-humiliated-by-putin.html T / Cl Visa, Mastercard Suspend Services To Russian Banks Hit By Sanctions Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggered an array of sanctions from governments around the world targeting Russian government, businesses, financial institutions and high profile individuals and oligarchs. Sanctions from Western nations include excising select Russian banks from SWIFT, the international financial-messaging system. The measures have largely unplugged Russia from the international financial system and have crippled its economy, plunging the ruble to a record low and prompting queues outside banks and ATMs as people try to withdraw cash in case limits are put in place. Many reportedly intend to convert their savings to more stable currencies like the euro or U.S. dollar to protect their savings as fears over the currency mount. Mastercard and Visa have blocked a number of Russian institutions from their payment networks in compliance with Western sanctions, the companies announced Monday and Tuesday, as they pledged to work with regulators to enforce any future restrictions amid a plummeting ruble and run on Russian banks. https://www.forbes.com/sites/roberthart/2022/03/01/visa-mastercard-suspend-services-to-russian-banks-hit-by-sanctions/?sh=63fa5dcf77d5 ]]> active textbook Interview with Izac Adizes by Vedomosti.ru Why Russians don't use their brains http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewEb_lAd0zc

Biofuels include fuels derived from biomass conversion, as well as solid biomass, liquid fuels and various biogases. geothermal energy = energy derived from the heat in the interior of the earth tidal energy = form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into useful forms of power - mainly electricity. wind turbine = device that converts kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy primary sector = any industry involved in the extraction and production of raw materials, such as farming, logging, hunting, fishing, and mining. The primary sector tends to make up a larger portion of the economy in developing countries than it does in developed countries secondary sector = economic sector in the three-sector theory which describes the role of manufacturing. It encompasses the industries which produce a finished, usable product or are involved in construction. This sector generally takes the output of the primary sector (i.e. raw materials) and creates finished goods suitable for use by other businesses, for export, or for sale to domestic consumers (via distribution through the tertiary sector). Many of these industries consume large quantities of energy and require factories and machinery tertiary sector = the area of industry that deals with services rather than materials or goods amenities = things that make you comfortable and at ease premises = building and land near to it that a business owns or uses real estate = property in the form of land or buildings earthship = brand of passive solar earth shelter that is made of both natural and upcycled materials such as earth-packed tires, pioneered by architect Michael Reynolds. The name is based on the idea of a ship or a space ship. Both of those structures need to provide everything for their inhabitants to survive: shelter, power, waste management, water, and food. Are intended to be "off-the-grid-ready" homes, with minimal reliance on public utilities and fossil fuels. They are constructed to use available natural resources, especially energy from the sun and rain water. They are designed with thermal mass construction and natural cross-ventilation to regulate indoor temperature. The designs are intentionally uncomplicated and mainly single-story, so that people with little building knowledge can construct them off-the-grid = system and lifestyle designed to help people function without the support of remote infrastructure, such as an electrical grid. Off-the-grid homes aim to achieve autonomy; they do not rely on one or more of municipal water supply, sewer, gas, electrical power grid, or similar utility services. The term "off the grid" traditionally refers to the electrical grid only grey water = water which has been used at least once already. Typically it is filtered waste-water from sinks and showers. black water = water that has been used in a toilet. Earthships utilize anaerobic digestion in their septic tanks, which naturally separate solid waste. The black water is used in concrete cells containing plants, separate from the grey water plants in the greenhouse; it may also be used in exterior planters. Studies on the safety of growing food plants in a black water system show low levels of E. coli bacteria.

TEDxParis 2012 - Laurent Alexandre Le recul de la mort - l'immortalité à brève échéance (Delayed death and immortality in the near future) 4 scenarios of life expectancy trends http://www.youtube.com/embed/KGD-7M7iYzs

Life expectancy has been prolonged from 25 to 50, 70 and almost a 100 years since 1500 ad.

Four scenarios are possible: life expectancy may continue its steady increase, go through the roof thanks to technology, reach a plateau because our bodies are programmed to last a limited number of years, or decrease due to global warming, pollution, etc

There are many arguments in favour of life expectancy increasing significantly: DNA manipulation, mother cells, artificial organs, electronic implants, computer and robot-aided surgery, nano implants, nano diagnostics, simulations...

Moore's Law predicts computers will soon have the ability to deal with what was unthinkable still recently. For example, DNA sampling was extremely costly and took many years to complete a decade ago but now its cost has dropped to only USD 100...

As a result of continuous progress in various fields, death is expected not only later, but increasingly later as more medical and technological advances are made available and/or become affordable.

In red oceans, industry boundaries are defined and accepted, and the competitive rules of the game are known. Here, companies try to outperform their rivals to grab a greater share of existing demand. As the market space gets crowded, profits and growth are reduced.

The noble Brutus 6 Hath told you Caesar was ambitious: If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer’d it. 9 Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest– For Brutus is an honourable man; So are they all, all honourable men– 12 Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral. He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious; 15 And Brutus is an honourable man. He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: 18 Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: 21 Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. You all did see that on the Lupercal 24 I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; 27 And, sure, he is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. 30 You all did love him once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him? O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts, 33 And men have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me.
