N°27 - April 2013
To get more hours out of your day,look at something awesome
Quartz, Susan H. Greenberg, April 15, 2013
“If you’re feeling pressed for time, you’re not alone. Surveys show most working Americans feel that way. But what if there were a way to expand those precious minutes and hours? Research suggests there may be one: Elicit a sense of awe.”
Handwritten notes are a rare commodity.They’re also more important than ever
Harvard Business Review, John Coleman, April 5, 2013
“It may seem nostalgic, but I still believe there’s room for the handwritten note in personal and professional com-munication. They cost something, mean something, and have permanence in a way emails and text mes-sages don’t. They let the people in our lives know we appreciate them enough to do something as archaic as pausing for 15 minutes to put pen to paper in an attempt to connect and sustain a relationship with them.”
Does your agency have a 200-yearstrategic plan?
Government Executive, John Kamensky, April 15, 2013
“Does it make any sense for the government to think long term? NASA developed a 200-year strategic plan, at one point. They engaged futurists and science fiction writers to help develop a plan for interplanetary explora-tion. Maybe it makes sense for NASA, but what about other agencies?”
Corporate reporting needs a rebootHarvard Business Review, Paul Druckman April 17, 2013
“The common thread is that today’s model of capitalism overemphasizes short-term financial data and neglects information that gets at the true sources of sustainable value creation — things like innovation, brand equity, customer loyalty, and key stakeholder relationships. Corporate reporting today emphasizes compliance, boilerplate and legalese. As a result, we have a mas-sive glut of filings, press releases, analyst reports and articles focused on financial data.”

The modern female eunuchThe Atlantic, Kirsten Kukula & Richard Wassersug
April 1, 2013“In the modern world the most empowered negotiator on the planet is the U.S. Secretary of State. It may be more than a coincidence that three of the four most re-cent individuals to occupy that role have been women: Madeleine Albright; Condoleeza Rice; and Hillary Clin-ton. These women have filled a post that would have commonly been held by eunuchs in the Byzantine, Ot-toman, and Chinese empires.”
Selon Gartner, seuls 10 % des déploiements de réseaux sociaux sont réussis
Le Monde Informatique, Jean Elyan avec IDG NS 3 avril 2013
« Selon la société d’études Gartner, alors que les tech-nologies de réseautage social sont employées par 70 % des entreprises, seuls 10 % parviennent à les utiliser correctement, la plupart ayant plus une approche « je livre et je prie pour que tout se passe bien ».

Basic Income, a new human rightBasic Income Europe, You Tube Video, March 28, 2013
“Basic income or citizen’s income is a proposed system of social security that regularly provides each citizen with a sum of money unconditionally. In contrast to income redistribution between nations themselves, the phrase basic income defines payments to individuals rather than households, groups, or nations, in order to provide for individual basic human needs. Except for ci-tizenship, a basic income is entirely unconditional. Fur-thermore, there is no means test or impact as a result of other income; the richest as well as the poorest citizens would receive it.”
Mathematicians predict the future with data from the past
Wired, Klint Finley, April 10, 2013
“Turchin — a professor at the University of Connecticut — is the driving force behind a field called “cliodynamics,” where scientists and mathematicians analyze history in the hopes of finding patterns they can then use to predict the future. It’s named after Clio, the Greek muse of history.”
La rigueur due à… une erreur sur Excel ?Europe 1, Gaétan Supertino avec agences, 18 avril 2013
« Une querelle entre économistes de renom fait rage depuis une semaine au sujet d’une influente étude publiée en 2010. Signée Carmen Reinhart et Kenneth Rogoff, économistes de Harvard les plus fréquemment citées par les partisans de l’austérité aux États-Unis, en Grande-Bretagne et dans l’Union européenne, elle se serait en réalité construite sur une erreur de calcul et une mauvaise utilisation du célèbre tableur. On vous explique. »
Bitcoin is just the poster currency for a growing movement of alternative tender
Quartz, Scott Smith, April 10, 2013“Bitcoin has jumped from a technical curiosity to “mainstream” financial news. It has become an object of economic escapism—but the kind you can’t escape from. Whether it continues to grow as a phenomenon has yet to be seen, but the underlying curiosity tells us that there is growing skepticism about global financial systems’ long-term viability, and a correlated grassroots interest in returning to smaller scale, offline, more local-ly-focused systems of exchange.”

China local authority debt ‘out of control’CNN, Simon Rabinovitch, April 17, 2013
“A senior Chinese auditor has warned that local govern-ment debt is «out of control» and could spark a bigger financial crisis than the US housing market crash.”
How the decline of the traditionalworkplace is changing our cities
The Atlantic, Emily Badger, April 19, 2013“We normally talk about all of this as a revolution in technology, or in the nature of work itself. But something else also happens when technology enables people to change where they work and how they use time: The environment around us needs to respond, too.”

La novlangue Européenne ou la subversion du sens comme outil stratégique
Alliance Géostratégique, Michel Ruch, 22 mars 2013
« On observe par exemple que la rhétorique européiste fait un usage intensif des mots « stabilisation » et « sta-bilité » (de la zone Euro) dans un contexte d’ instabilité endogène produite par la dérégulation instituée de la fi-nance et de l’économie ; ou le couplage automatisé des mots « stabilité-et-croissance » dans un contexte de dégradation et de récession ; ou l’expression absurde de « croissance négative » pour éviter le mot « réces-sion » ; ou le stéréotype « politiques-de-convergence » en pleine divergence des économies en Europe. »

Chinese president says BRICS cooperation benefits world economy
Xinhua, An, March 19, 2013Xi Jinping: “Cooperation among BRICS countries can help build a more balanced world economy, improve global economic governance and promote democracy in international relations”
Géopolitique du crime organiséGrenoble ESC, Jean-François Gayraud, 2 avril 2013
« Dans toutes les écoles de commerce, devrait exis-ter un enseignement de criminologie. Il faut éveiller les étudiants à ces dures réalités, avant qu’ils ne soient confrontés à ce monde cruel, impitoyable et cynique. Faire oeuvre de prévention en sensibilisant les jeunes générations de décideurs aux logiques et méthodes du crime organisé et de la criminalité en col blanc me paraît être une exigence de premier plan. »
« La science bute sur trois énigmes majeures »
Le Journal du Dimanche, 16 mars 2013« Il est un des plus grands mathématiciens du siècle. Âgé de 69 ans, il a quitté l’URSS en 1974 et travaille actuellement entre la France (à l’Institut des hautes études scientifiques de Bures-sur-Yvette) et les États-Unis (New York). Titulaire de nombreux prix, notamment du prix Abel en 2009, l’équivalent du Nobel des maths, ce savant franco-russe touche-à-tout porte un regard curieux sur l’état des sciences, des maths à la physique en passant par la biologie. Pour le JDD, Misha Gromov explique «les trois principales énigmes» de la science actuelle : l’univers, la vie et l’esprit humain… »
Will we ever… communicate telepathically?BBC, Ed Yong, April 5, 2013
“There’s tantalising evidence that technology could one day allow us to transmit thoughts telepathically between two brains. The question is how far can we go?”
Next nature saves old natureNext Nature, Van Mensvoort, April 7, 2013
“Synthetic biology is the technology of designing and building biological devices from scratch. It goes beyond tinkering with existing genomes of organisms by adding one or two extra genes. Researcher can already chemi-cally synthesise very large sections of DNA, which that allows them to engineer biological systems.”

Chômage : la fiction des emplois vacantsNouvel Obs, Veronique Radier 26 mars 2013
Jean-Louis Zanda, chercheur à Pôle Emploi: «Avec la montée du chômage, je ne pensais plus entendre ce genre de discours sur les difficultés de recrutement, qui émane des fédérations professionnelles.» Car il en a déjà démonté les ressorts dans une étude publiée en 2010. «Cette idée repose sur un malentendu : un emploi vacant, c’est juste un recruteur qui exprime un besoin à un instant donné et non un poste bien défini durablement à pourvoir.»

Critical issue: Will the fertility rate in the developed world continue to increase?
Ross Dawson Blog, April 8, 2013“Developed countries around the world experienced a massive baby boom in the 1950s, which then fell dra-matically to see the fertility rate fall to below the repla-cement rate in almost every developed country in the world.However the fertility rate has been rising in many deve-loped countries over the last years, in contrast to the faster-than-expected decline in the fertility rate in deve-loping countries, as shown in the chart below.”
Why China is finally abandoning its one child policy
Forbes, Richard Lehmann, March 28, 2013
“One of the first announcements by the new administra-tion taking charge in China this month may lead to the phasing out of the one child policy, which has been in effect since 1979.”
Fracking: The next bubble?Salon, Brad Jacobson, April 1, 2013
“Currently, natural gas remains cheap, around $3.50 per thousand cubic feet. In the short-term at least, this has been good for consumers, as it has translated into lower energy bills. But in the near-term, it has been deadly for the companies drilling for shale gas and their stakeholders, who are losing their shirts.”
Quatre milliards d’euros d’économiesd’énergie grâce aux rénovations thermiques
20 minutes Reuters, 21 mars 2013« En France, les 20% de logements les plus anciens engloutissent à eux seuls la moitié de l’énergie consom-mée par le parc immobilier, selon cette étude. L’idée de puiser dans ce gouffre de consommation n’est pas nouvelle, le Grenelle ayant fixé dès 2007 un objectif de 400.000 rénovations thermiques par an à partir de 2013. Mais seuls 120.000 logements privés et 25.000 logements sociaux bénéficient actuellement d’une ré-novation énergétique performante chaque année, selon le ministère du Logement. »
Fire ice: ‘The next shale gas’ProActive Investors, Jamie Nimmo, April 12, 2013
“Highly combustible and with a sherbet-like appea-rance, it is known as fire ice. Methane hydrate, a secret trapped beneath the ocean waves, is being tipped as the world’s next major energy resource.”
