March 22 in Belgium

March 22 was Belgium's 9/11
There is a before, and a horrible after.

Our thoughts go to the victims of barbaric violence, perpetrated by radicals.

32 people died in Zaventem Airport and Maelbeek train station.
It could have been each and everyone of us passing through, on the way to work, to family, to love. Many of us escaped; in fact almost all of us are the "lucky ones".

United we stand, for a while at least, and we should not fear the political recuperation.

Many questions remain on underinvestment, under-estimation of the threat, under-performing political systems.
Yet, in all the carnage and violence, it's comforting to see the small signs of kindness, of courage under fire, of deep commitment by police forces and first responsders.

Over the last 15 months, since Charlie Hebdo, Verviers, the foiled Thalys plot, the shooter at the Jewish museum, the Paris attacks of 13/11 and now this brutal confrontation in the core itself of European values.

Let's not forget that the overwhelming majority of terror acts does not occur in Europe, but in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
The "war" is not East vs West. This is not about Islam. This is about power, and power-shifting.

We should not allow our open and pluralistic socieites to become closed, and "in fear".
We should teach our children respect and love. We should lead in humanity.
Hopefully we can do that for other next generations as well, and not just our own.

Our response must be measured, and we have to keep faith in justice for all, and respect for each human's "human" rights. Let's promote that idea, instead of violent rhetorics.

Post-Resolutions

Hello, it's me again…. Adele jumps back to world stage with a fantastic "ear-worm". You can't get it out of your head. However, and immensely more sadly, David “Starman” Bowie left us with the best parting gift before being incinerated into dust to dust. Belgian radio station #StudioBrussels made world headlines by immortalizing a “starman” constellation - 

What were your resolutions in January? Is it worth making them anyway?

Mine include for this year: write more blogposts (check!); better health thru sports; more and better music to soothe the souls…. And more time for friends.

Here is a list of what you and I can learn from Steve Jobs: start ticking some boxes:

(credit to http://www.lifehack.org/343539/10-things-can-learn-from-steve-jobs)

1. Love what you do

 “What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating, I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. And so I decided to start over.” — Steve Jobs

2. Cut out or avoid the bozos

Bozos are incompetent, stupid, and negative people. Steve Jobs had no time for these people and got rid of them when he could. They are like weeds and they will also hire like-minded people. They will have a negative impact on morale. Even if you are unable to fire them, you can make strenuous efforts to have as little to do with them as possible. Surround yourself with positive and upbeat colleagues who will inspire you.

3. Surround yourself with culture to be more creative

The best way to be creative is to surround yourself with culture, art, and history. Enriching his life with cultural influences was an essential element in helping his passion for design to flourish. Apple products are the perfect example. Serendipity and connecting the dots may be more important than we think.

“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.” — Steve Jobs

4. Don’t be afraid to take risks

 “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” — Steve Jobs

5. Qualifications are not everything

Steve Jobs never actually graduated from college. He discovered and taught us that what really counts is to have a positive mindset and how you nurture your skills. Paper qualifications are important, but they must always take second place in developing our skills.

“Truth be told, I never graduated from college. And this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation.” – Steve Jobs, Stanford Commencement Address in 2005

6. Keep it simple

When the engineers were developing the iPod, Jobs insisted that there should be no buttons at all and that the only button would be the on/off one. The engineers were skeptical to say the least, but Jobs would not relent. Keeping the whole operation simple was essential to this and many other projects. In the end, the scroll wheel was developed and is still a feature of IT today. We can learn from Steve Jobs that laser focus can sharpen our minds and help us to prioritize.

“That’s been one of my mantras — focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.” — Steve Jobs

7. Money need not dictate your projects

Jobs wanted to change the world and put a “ding in the universe,” as he himself put it. His projects were all designed to create amazing products to make the world a better place. Making money was not his primary aim. Here is a very valuable life lesson. If we focus on making profit without worrying too much about giving value or in helping society, then perhaps we should rethink our objectives.

“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me… Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.” — Steve Jobs

8. Learn to be bold

At the age of 12, Steve Jobs telephoned Hewlett Packard to get some spare parts he needed for a project he was working on. As a result of that telephone call, HP gave him a summer job and he never looked back. The lesson we can learn here is to always try, even if we are turned down.

“If you don’t ask, the answer will always be no.” – Nora Roberts

 9. Question everything

Steve Jobs often told interviewers that he had always questioned everything. For example, he questioned his religious beliefs when he saw starving children. He advised people to question rules and assumptions. This questioning was the foundation for many of his most creative ideas. That should be an inspiration for us when we examine how we live and work. If we continuously question why something is always done in a certain way, we are well on the way to success.

Steve Jobs questioned everything about the building of his yacht Venus, which was to be sleek and minimalist and cost $138 million. The owner of the Dutch shipyard where it was built, Henk de Vries, said that Jobs was always telling them that they could do better!

“Everything was questioned and that made it very challenging,” — Henk de Vries

10. Technology can change the world for the better

Apparently, Steve Jobs as a kid was struck by an article which listed the most efficient species with regards speed and locomotion. He noticed that the condor was in the first place while human beings were way down the list. Put a human being on a bicycle and that combination shot to the top of the list, way ahead of the condor. Jobs later used this in an ad for Apple when he called his computer the bicycle of the mind. That sort of smart technology is the way to change the world for the better.

Steve Jobs was an inspiring example we need to follow.

Gram

Today's "Gram" inaugurates a new serial project, trademark Wacondah ventures, right?

Confined to our frustrations, we suffer; it is so much better to try to compile & cross-reference statements on current affairs and voice opinions. Lead example used to be the "Journaal" by Mark Grammens, who in the best of Anglo-Saxon journalistic tradition, tried to question our reality and comment the commentators!

Today's frontpage:

World-famous Belgian painter Luc Tuymans is all over the news: he was convinced of plagiarism and fraud by a lower court, for having shamelessly copied a photograph through painting.
While you can argue about that, and cite the "imitatio" principle honoured by timeless traditions in all types of art; one can't help to wonder "why" he was convicted.

His lawyers state that is was full of "parody" and thus exempt from the copyright protection act under Belgian law. However, the judge did not follow this line of argumentation.

For the time being, the photographer is right and should have her work protected in the public domain.


But beneath it all; isn't this case about "hybris"? Maybe it has to do with the way Tuymans looks down on other people (which is his absolute freedom of speech-protected right). I think there is an element of "attitude" that was judged yesterday. In any case, there will be an appeal. If I were the photographer, I'd drop the case and bask in the attention of media,to promote my work and be remembered forever as having been copied by a "Master" yourself! In addition, by dropping the case, you'd be able to demonstrate a much grander attitude. People are indeed remembered not only for what they produce, but for how they behave. Grandiose! Attitude!
If I were Tuymans, I'd put up a big smile, and share some of the royalties to initiate a new collaboration; but sourly, and surely, that's not gonna happen.
We should like artists for their work; but it's even better if we can also like them for their morals and attitude!
So, having promoted Tuymans here; I think it's only fair and square to post a link to young photographer Katrijn Van Giel

Question of the day: do the produders of radio commercials conspire to "not" make us laugh? Clearly, there is a general lack of imagination. Airtime is expensive, and so is my time: as a result we turn to other media. Note to self; next car should have the best state-of-the art private media channels.


Benoit Poelvoorde; of "C'est Arrivé Près de Chez Vous" fame, declares that his dog is fed up with interviews! Up for the watchlist: "La rançon de la gloire"

Viewing: American Sniper (slated for best-actor Oscar later this year?): Clint Eastwood directs Bradley Cooper in a high-intensity based-on-a-true story: are snipers cowards, or defenders of freedom?
Listening to: Spotify! and Parov Stelar
Thinking: Voltaire is en vogue after last week's attacks on Charlie Hebdo: let us therefore "Judge a man by the questions he asks, not the answers he gives"!
Travelling: Paris, Barcelona, Santiago, Daegu, Washington, Algonquin Park(*), Stockholm, Dakar (that's what's on the agenda so far)

Je suis Charlie

all our thoughts go out to the victims of the barbaric attack on "Charlie Hebdo" yesterday in Paris.

Eight puzzling questions:

1. why did one of the terrorists pauze to pick up a shoe on the ground before entering the runaway car after executing an already wounded police officer?
2. the attack seemed carefully prepared and orchestrated: however: how come did they end up in the wrong appartment building and why did they have to ask for directions to the right adress?
3. appearantly, the police found one of the perpetrator's identity card in the Citroen C3 car. This points to poor tradecraft? Or was it a deliberate clue? Do they want to be caught?
4. Surveillance cameras are ubiquitous in Paris and on French highways: the last runaway car must be known by the police. The exfiltration plan was appearantly well-prepared, yet sloppily executed - they choose random 2nd and 3rd stage vehicles: how long can you stay underground in our society?
****update: suspects located at 11.00 in the AISNE region*** (2015-01-08)
5. French TV coverage is very limited in images; it seems as if there is a ban on information release at this stage. There is an appearant lack of investigative reporting going on.
6. Charlie Hebdo was a very high-profile "soft" target. Close protection was "in place" and "in person" yet unsufficient against a direct hit. Appearantly, there has been increased pressure in the last weeks, why wasn't security beefed up?
7. Almost 24 hours later, no claims for responsibility have been posted on the Internet?
8. How plausible is it that a returning Jihadi trains his brother in just a couple of months in the art of urban guerilla warfare? Both seemed extremely well-trained, cold-blooded and methodic. are there training camps in Europe? And how difficult is it to get modified AK47s these days?

New Year's resolutions

This guy has it right in today's FT

In his brilliant article on the January Jinx that could be titled "hmmpphh.... got to have a good New Year's resolution --  just to abandon it a couple of days later when the first work party kicks in again"; it is refreshing to read things such as

• Most resolutions, he explains, fail because no thought is given to how they will be implemented or measured.
• “The idea is to cultivate a model of frequent re-examining.” By creating new habits, you improve your productivity in small steps.
• Continuous self-improvement should be approached in a spirit of optimism. “It’s about making good things better.”

voilà; so a part from planning (my own agenda as a referee) for the boys' games of soccer in the next months and marking a couple of Sprint and Olympic distance triatlons; I'll try to up the ante and train for the 1/2 'Halven van Damme"

and a bonus one that everybody should try: "alco-lessing"; for at least a day! (objective attained already ;-) cross that one of my list

So We Wish you a lot of Optimism in 2015

World Toilet Day - 19 November

 with #toiletogram on instagram, but also on the Wacondah Flickrstream; a collection of pictographs from around the world to reflect on our cultural differences and the essence of being wo)man! Le corps est un tube digestif!

Please reflect on the fact that 1 billion people are condemned to practice open defecation and that more than 2 billion people lack access to safe sanitary services!!

Do not go gentle into that good night

Dylan Thomas, 1914 - 1953

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Matt Damon digs the real "Ice Bucket Challenge"

the only thing missing in here is that in fact more than 2 Billion people do not have their right to safe drinking water fullfilled.... and that more than a billion people are forced to practice open defecation daily.

We are f*cked

While reviled and bashed by some, it still remains an interesting read; "10 Billion" by Stephen EMMOTT details the next decades' evolution of life on planet earth, pointing out some harsh truths that we seemingly WANT to keep on ignoring.

Finish it in a speed-read session and then reflect on his conclusions "we are f*cked".
Asked what the one thing would be to teach someone that could change the course of things, the answer is
"Teach my kids how to shoot a gun".

While you can, remain an optimist!
But it doesn't hurt sometimes to delve a bit deeper into realism...

Proven - Big MoFo Bang happened, almost instantanously, everywhere, at speeds higher than speed of light: question: what came right before?

Source: FT.com - http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/dd301e00-ade1-11e3-bc07-00144feab7de.html#axzz2wV5hjpjc 

"Astronomers say they have found the first evidence of “gravitational waves”, ripples in the fabric of space-time, bolstering the Big Bang theory of the birth of the universe 13.8bn years ago."

Scientists can now be more confident that the Big Bang triggered expansion at an unbelievable rate, with the newborn universe growing a trillion-trillion-trillion times in an infinitesimal fraction of a second.

“Detecting this signal is one of the most important goals in cosmology today,” said John Kovac of Harvard University, the project leader. Cosmologists not directly involved in the research joined the team in acclaiming the discovery as a landmark in understanding the universe.

Everything we can see today – galaxies, stars, planets and people – originated in tiny “quantum fluctuations” in space that were amplified exponentially by cosmic inflation.

Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves almost a century ago and modern astronomers have been looking for them for several years with increasingly powerful instruments. Now the Bicep 2 radio telescope at the US polar base in Antarctica has achieved success.

“This is the most important result in our field so far this century,” said David Wands, professor of cosmology at Portsmouth University in the UK. The last discovery of comparable significance came in 1998 when astronomers found that mysterious “dark energy” was counteracting gravity and fuelling the expansion of the universe today.

The Bicep 2 telescope was built to analyse the “cosmic microwave background”. This faint radiation, which perfuses space, is often referred to as an “afterglow of the Big Bang”. It was released when the universe was 380,000 years old and, for the first time, cool enough for light to pass through space.

Although the microwave background has been mapped with increasing accuracy by satellite observatories – most recently by Europe’s Planck telescope last year – these maps have so far just shown variations in the temperature or frequency of the radiation.

Bicep 2 found subtle variations in the polarisation or orientation of the electromagnetic waves. Gravitational waves spawned by cosmic inflation would have squeezed space as they travelled through it, producing a characteristic polarisation pattern in the radiation.

“The swirly B-mode pattern [that we detected] is a unique signature of gravitational waves,” said Chao-Lin Kuo of Stanford University, another team scientist.

The South Pole is an ideal place to look for such signals because the atmosphere there is so cold, dry and stable.

The team says the polarisation is stronger than many cosmologists expected. Three years of data analysis ruled out other possible causes of the pattern and left primordial gravity waves as the only plausible explanation. “This has been like looking for a needle in a haystack but instead we found a crowbar,” commented Clem Pryke of the University of Minnesota.

Scientists will be looking to the next release of Planck satellite data later this year, which will include polarisation analysis, to confirm – or possibly disprove – the Bicep 2 discovery. Then they will be able to build confidently on inflationary theory as the basis of cosmology.

La trahison des élites

18 mars 2014

SELON UNE ÉTUDE – La NASA prévoit la fin de la civilisation

Une étude du Centre de vols spatiaux Goddard de la NASA relayée par la RTBFexplique que la civilisation tel que nous la connaissons aujourd'hui pourrait bien disparaître dans les prochaines décennies en raison d'un problème de gestion des ressources naturelles et d'une mauvaise répartition des richesses.

L'étude se fonde sur un nouvel outil analytique, baptisé "HANDY", pour Human and Nature Dynamical, mis au point par le mathématicien Safa Motesharrei du Centre national de synthèse socio-environnemental. L'étude a été publiée dans le Elsevier Journal Ecological Economics.

En étudiant l'histoire des civilisations, les chercheurs ont ainsi mis en évidence les raisons qui ont contribué à leur chute, que ce soit les Mayas ou encore l'empire romain. Une série de facteurs liés entre eux seraient donc à prendre en compte, parmi lesquels le climat, la population, l'eau, l'agriculture ou encore l'énergie.

Selon la RTBF, Safa Motesharri et ses collègues expliquent qu'il y a deux scénarios possibles pour l'homme du XXIe siècle. Le premier serait la réduction, par la famine, des populations pauvres. "Dans ce cas, la destruction de notre monde ne serait donc pas due à des raisons climatiques, mais à la disparition des travailleurs", note le site belge d'information.

"Le second scénario catastrophe repose sur la surconsommation des ressources qui entraînerait un déclin des populations pauvres, suivi par celui, décalé dans le temps, des populations riches", ajoute-t-il.

Fait notable, selon les chercheurs, plusieurs empires ont disparu notamment à cause de l'aveuglement des élites qui, jusqu'au bout, se croyaient protégées et ont refusé de réformer leur système de vivre-ensemble.

Si ces scénarios paraissent difficiles à éviter, les scientifiques mettent en avant la nécessité urgente de "réduire les inégalités économiques afin d’assurer une distribution plus juste des ressources, et de réduire considérablement la consommation de ressources en s’appuyant sur des ressources renouvelables moins intensives et sur une croissance moindre de la population."

In honor of Statler & Waldorf, laugh more in 2014!

Wonder in Stilte

 -- Wonder in Stilte --

Waarom - leren we van kindsbeen af niet beter zwijgen?

Moeten - we niet leren verwonderd en zwijgzaam kijken?

Wij - die nederiger zouden moeten zijn en wat minder mens.

Altijd - op zoek naar lawaai, en vuil.

Alles - vernietigend, alles klasserend, alles benoemend en bemoeiend.

Proberen - te zwijgen, proberen te luisteren, proberen te aanvaarden.

Uit - respect en kinderlijk ontzag voor wat vaak onverklaarbaar mooi is.

Te - spraakzaam veelzeggend en vol quatsch,

Leggen - we onszelf woorden in de mond

Terwijl - rondom ons

Stilte -

Beter gepast zou zijn.

in de tunnels van Brussel hangen intelligente verkeersborden

moeilijk valt te beschrijven
wat voor chaos er op onze wegen
heerst.
vallende blaren, een lichte mistbank,
aangekondigde regen,
de weergod heerst
zeker deze week, met honderden kilometers toegeschreven
aan allemaal "kleine" incidentjes
die de ganse week lang
deed stilstaan

zogezegd

want meteoroloog of verkeersinfarctchirurg
ontkennen steeds
wat niemand durft te verdedigen

wij kunnen niet rijden

wij hebben geen respect voor andere weggebruikers,
laat staan voor onze kinderen op de fiets

wij hebben geen opvoeding

wij gedragen ons aggressiever dan de rest van Europa
en toch vinden we onszelf excellente chauffeurs

wij snappen geen bal van wat in andere landen al jarenlang bewezen is
onze overheid moet rits-campagnes promoten,
omdat we te egoïst zijn om ze toe te passen

wij zijn uit op moord
in onze steden rijden auto's niet zomaar naast elkaar,
maar om te dichtst op elkaar
zonder ademruimte voor voet of fiets of andere tweewieler
en als een taxi een brommer bespeurt, lijkt het of de jacht echt is aangeblazen.

wij kiezen slechte vertegenwoordigers
onze maffieuse verkozenen, die nochtans een hele industrie te verdedigen hebben
trekken resoluut de kaart van de immobiliteit,
de ministers zouden beter van titel veranderen.

de helletocht van elke dag is een zelfmoordmissie voor bromfietsen
gigantische kraters in de baan, opengeboorde middellijnen, oneven opgevuld met barslechte tarmac
razende, gefrustureerde automobilisten die doof en blind en dwaas voor zich uit staren, zich onbewust van anderen, en die in plaats van te anticiperen, snel nog wat gas bijgeven om het gat dicht te rijden.

hoe zit dat nu met onze verkeersopvoeding?
en waar zit die smart verkeerstechnologie?
en waar is de verkeerspolitie als er voor de zoveelste keer een ring rond stil staat?
en wie gaat er eens werk maken van grote infrastructuurprojecten?

het toppunt van droefnis:
in de tunnels van Brussel hangen intelligente verkeersborden,
met tijdens de spits, een kort woord
file
geen verdere uitleg nodig
te failliet voor meer woorden

Poem: "Annual Review, the poetry of management"

- inspired by a story from Lifehack, combined with the soundtrack of The Great Gatsby.

Keeping track of your achievements.

Writing about a goal, is (almost) equal to committing it to memory.

Translate it into action, remains then to be seen.

Mention how you made or saved your money; by starting an expense spreadsheet.

Talk about your development goals, this year, for me, it was becoming a referee. 

It is all about stepping out of thebox, and expanding your boundaries.

Set my goal for the next three months, would be: say thank you more often to friends and family.

Don’t shun away from areas to improve, in my case, writing more often, publicly.

It is joy, it is fun, teaches you music and clarity.

Like Gatsby, who believed in the green light,…

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

Een groot fotograaf gaat heen - In Memoriam Rony Heirman

zonder twijfel zullen we nog veel stilstaan bij het grote sterven.
er komt een moment in je leven, dat je beseft dat het vanaf nu zal beginnen.

Mensen om je heen, die een gezegende leeftijd naderen, leggen plots het hoofd; rustig en sereen.

Zo ook kwam vorige week de tijd voor Rony Heirman, wellicht Vlaanderens beroemdste portretfotograaf van de laatste halve eeuw.
Vaarwel Rony, het ga je goed op je laatste tocht! Wij koesteren in elk geval prachtherinneringen aan je gulle lach en je zachte hand.
