Galtung y Trascend

Johan Galtung es un matemático y sociólogo noruego cuyo trabajo en pro de la resolución de conflictos hace necesario que figure aquí. Porque en muchas de sus entrevistas afirma que la creatividad es fundamental en la resolución de conflictos.

...un gran invento POR DESGRACIA

Las ideas están en todos los sitios. 

Un gran invento en su área (por desgracia) fue el AK-47, más conocido como Kalashnikov, en honor a su creador.

Un arma que ha estado y está presente en todas las guerras que ha habido en el planeta desde los años 50.

Y su precio, tirado. Por los suelos.

Por cierto, aparece hasta en la bandera de Angola.

Y, cómo no, tiene su página correspodiente que incluye el manual de funcionamiento...

PARAR LA GUERRA ENVIANDO CARTAS...

Desde la coalición Stop the War, proponen envian cartas a Tony Blair, primer ministro británico. Muy defenestrado en los últimos años. 

También proponen una manifestación en septiembre en la cumbre del partido laborista.

Aquí va la carta, para quien desee apoyarla on-line...

Dear Prime Minister, Most people in this country are, we believe, horrified at the bloodshed and destruction unfolding daily in Lebanon. There can be no justification for the conduct of the Israeli government and armed forces, which are laying waste to a country in an operation which will hugely damage the prospects for peace in the Middle East.
We are dismayed that the British government, almost alone in the world, is not calling for a ceasefire to enable the suffering to stop. This either shows a deplorable indifference to the plight of the Lebanese people or an attitude of total subservience to the foreign policy of the US administration. Either way, our country is being humiliated and our isolation from world opinion underlined once more.
We therefore call on the government to change its position and join the vast majority of the world’s states, the UN secretary-general and the Archbishop of Canterbury in calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the Lebanon to save lives and prevent the destruction of that country.

comopodriamos...PARAR LA GUERRA DEL LÍBANO?

Siempre surgen ideas tan diferentes como seres humanos hay en el mundo.

Una de ellas, de las más activas, es la coalición "Stop the war"

KOESTLER

Arthur Koestler fue un hombre de perfil humanístico: periodista, escritor, divulgador de la ciencia y mucho más. 

Una de sus obras, "The act of creation" es una maravilla en cuánto al análisis de la creatividad humana y sus manifestaciones. Una maravilla de libro que resulta cuasi imposible encontrarlo en español. 

Para entender mejor cómo creamos, qué naturaleza tiene el acto de crear, cómo se manifiesta...merece la pena contar con Koestler.

Y acuñó un término que aporta mucho sentido al acto de crear: BISOCIACIÓN.

O lo que es lo mismo, unir dos campos aparentemente diferentes para crear algo nuevo.

Tenemos información, necesitamos ideas y buenas prácticas...

¿Cómo podemos ponernos a generar ideas?

Fundamental: cuando generamos ideas, GENERAMOS IDEAS.

Ya llegará después el momento de evaluar, criticar, reelaborar...

Porque cualquier ocurrencia, pensamiento enfocado a solucionar un problema, aunque parezca extraño, raro...quién sabe, puede estimular, despertar en otra persona otra idea que sí pueda ser aplicable.

En California, también saben los efectos del fuego.

Aunque no me gusta la cara del su gobernador, aquí va la página del departamento de bosques de California:

The Timber Harvesting Plan Review Process NAVIGATION: CDF Home > Resource Management > Forest Practice > The Timber Harvesting Plan Review Process Last modified on July 5, 2005 When a THP is submitted to CDF Within 10 daysof receipt: The THP is assigned a number. Copies are distributed to all state and federal reviewing agencies. A Notice of Intent is sent to landowners within 300 feet of the THP, the office of the county clerk within the THP county, and the local CDF unit headquarters. A Notice of Submission is sent to anyone who has requested notification in writing. A first review of the THP is done by a multi-agency team that includes CDF, the California Department of Fish and Game, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, the California Geological Survey, and other agencies as needed. This first review is meant to assess whether the THP is complete, accurate and in proper order. Any incomplete applications are returned to the Registered Professional Forester (RPF) who prepared the THP. The RPF must answer any questions or concerns raised by the review team before the THP is processed any further. Once all review team concerns are clarified and the THP is deemed complete, it is officially "filed." A Notice of Filing is sent to the person who submitted the THP, the office of the County Clerk, and to anyone who has requested notification in writing. The public may submit to CDF comments concerning a filed THP. Comments will be accepted by the Department in writing or via e-mail up until the close of business on the designated final date for public comment. The public shall be informed as to where they may send their e-mail comments on all public notices and postings. All comments regarding plans shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the Director at the regional office where the plan is filed. CDF responds in writing to public comments that raise significant environmental issues. Addresses for written comments to CDF facilities can be found at CDF Contacts. The names of the assigned e-mail mailboxes for electronic comments are as follows: [e-mail] - Santa Rosa [e-mail] - Redding [e-mail] - Riverside [e-mail] - Fresno Public comments pertaining to CEQA documents normally reviewed by the Environmental Coordinator in Sacramento, should be sent to: [e-mail] - Sacramento. E-mail Comment Requirements and Limitations Incoming e-mail messages will not be accepted by the system if they exceed 6 megabytes in size. Incoming e-mails with virus-laden attachments will be scanned and rejected by the CDF virus wall. Undecipherable e-mail messages shall be discarded. It is the responsibility of the sender to provide the Department with clear and complete messages when providing public comment through our e-mail system. Hypertext e-mail links to other web pages or publications shall not be deemed the equivalent of written comment. Not all comment formats may be compatible with current CDF software. Obscene, threatening, or offensive comments may be reported to CDF Law Enforcement Staff. Within 10 days of the Notice of Filing: The review team may conduct a Pre-Harvest Inspection (PHI) to examine the proposed logging site. More than 95 percent of all plans receive a PHI. Within 20 days of the Pre-Harvest Inspection: A second meeting is held by the review team to discuss the Pre-Harvest Inspection reports and to finalize any recommendations or changes needed for the THP. 30 days after the Pre-Harvest Inspection: The public comment period ends. Frequently, however, the public comment period is extended to allow time for all agencies involved in the THP process to complete their reviews,or for additional study of a specific THP issue. Following the Review Team's final recommendation: The final recommendations are sent to the Registered Professional Forester for response. After the RPF's response is received and the public comment period closes, the THP goes to the CDF Director, or the Director's representative, who has 15 working days to approve or deny the THP. The Director considers all Board of Forestry and Fire Protection rules, the review team's recommendations, and any public comment that was submitted concerning the proposed timber operation before making a decision to approve or deny the THP. CDF prepares and sends or e-mails a written response to each person or group who submits public comment on a THP. Once a THP is Approved: CDF Unit Forest Practice Inspectors will periodically inspect the logging operation to ensure compliance with the approved THP and all laws and regulations. Any violations will be promptly acted upon. Enforcement actions range from violation notices requiring corrective actions, assessment of civil penalties and fines, and criminal proceedings through the court system. Action may also be taken against the licenses of the timber operator and/or the RPF on the operation. When a THP operation has been completed, the timber owner has the responsibility for submitting a completion report to CDF. CDF then inspects the area to certify that all rules were followed. The landowner must restock (replant) the area according to the Forest Practice Rules requirements. A stocking report must be filed with CDF to certify that these requirements were met. If the landowner fails to restock the land, CDF may hire a contractor to do the work and bill the landowner.
