The three principal types of culture integrations -Ideational, Idealistic, and Sensate-never exist in pure form; they are ideal types. In recognition of this Sorokin adds a Mixed category. Actually there are only two polar types of culture mentalities, the Ideational and the Sensate. The Idealistic is a mixed type combining the virtues of the ...
The trampoline is resilient. These same qualities of "brittle" and "resilient" apply to economies and financial markets. When an economic or financial system is brittle, it is less able to absorb the impact of a shock or ongoing stress--say, a geopolitical disruption to oil supplies, or the ongoing, grinding problem of geological peak oil.
Discussion. Paul Kingsnorth: "IN HIS BOOK A Short History of Progress, Ronald Wright coins the term “progress trap.”. A progress trap, says Wright, is a short-term social or technological improvement that turns out in the longer term to be a backward step. By the time this is realized—if it ever is—it is too late to change course.

"distributed revision control takes a peer-to-peer approach, as opposed to the client-server approach of centralized systems. Rather than a single, central repository with which clients synchronize, each peer's working copy of the codebase is a bona fide repository. Synchronization is conducted by exchanging changesets, which define unique versions...
"Distributed revision control (or Distributed Version Control (Systems) (DVCS), or Decentralized Version Control) is a fairly recent innovation in software revision control. It provides some significant advantages over the more traditional centralized approach to revision control, and it has some defining characteristics that separate it from centr...
The first DVCS is Reliable Software's Code Co-op (1997). First generation DVCSes include Arch and Monotone. The second generation was prompted by the arrival of Darcs, followed by a host of others,...Mercurial at http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/Full list of revision control software, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_revision_control_softwareEssay on various revision control systems, especially the section "Centralized vs. Decentralized SCM", at http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/scm.html,Distributed Version Control Systems - Why and How by Ian Clatworthy, Bazaar/Canonical at http://people.ubuntu.com/~ianc/papers/dvcs-why-and-how.xhtmlFrom its inception, the Arduino was developed to engage artistic and design-oriented minds. Barragán, an artist and designer, created the Wiring microcontroller to be used as a tool for a parsing data to electronics. He intended it to be used by a “non-technical” audience: “artists, designers, and architects,” in short, not requiring ...
Description. "The diamond is a map that points to three phases that groups pass through as they move from questions to insights. Groups begin with divergent thinking, sit for a while in the chaos and uncertainty of “The Groan Zone” and later move into convergent thinking."
