I’ve walked through this space numerous times during the past couple of days. To truly understand it’s power, one must experience it personally. It is both the street as we know it and not the street. The space instantly brightens one’s mood and makes downtown sparkle amidst the grit and noise and wear.

this is amazing.
When you put that set of horrendous work conditions and external factors together, it creates an evil barrel. You could put virtually anybody in it and you’re going to get this kind of evil behavior. The Pentagon and the military say the Abu Ghraib scandal is the result of a few bad apples in an otherwise good barrel. That’s the dispositional analysis. The social psychologist in me, and the consensus among many of my colleagues in experimental social psychology, says that’s the wrong analysis. It’s not the bad apples, it’s the bad barrels that corrupt good people. Understanding the abuses at this Iraqi prison starts with an analysis of both the situational and systemic forces operating on those soldiers working the night shift in that ‘little shop of horrors.’

A group of more than 200 Japanese pensioners are volunteering to tackle the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima power station. The Skilled Veterans Corps, as they call themselves, is made up of retired engineers and other professionals, all over the age of 60. They say they should be facing the dangers of radiation, not the young. It was while watching the television news that Yasuteru Yamada decided it was time for his generation to stand up. No longer could he be just an observer of the struggle to stabilise the Fukushima nuclear plant. The retired engineer is reporting back for duty at the age of 72, and he is organising a team of pensioners to go with him. For weeks now Mr Yamada has been getting back in touch with old friends, sending out e-mails and even messages on Twitter. Volunteering to take the place of younger workers at the power station is not brave, Mr Yamada says, but logical.

“I am 72 and on average I probably have 13 to 15 years left to live,” he says.
“Even if I were exposed to radiation, cancer could take 20 or 30 years or longer to develop. Therefore us older ones have less chance of getting cancer.”

“We are not kamikaze. The kamikaze were something strange, no risk management there. They were going to die. But we are going to come back. We have to work but never die.”

Elderly Japanese citizens have volunteered to expose themselves to radiation from the damaged nuclear reactors to help stabilize the damaged plant.

Get up in the morning. Check Google Analytics. Worry about your Twitter stats. Calculate the trend in follower growth. Wonder how to drive traffic. Increase your posting frequency. Talk to fellow social media influencers. Investigate good-looking new Tumblr followers. Flirt with them on Twitter. Put up a gratuitous picture of yourself on your blog and go fishing for compliments. Feel really good about yourself. Pretend to speak French fluently. Use inside jokes. Be snarky. Drop names. Publicly complain about the amount of mails received. Never reply. Announce reaching Inbox Zero. Get a thousand likes on a random picture. Take advantage of networking opportunities. Build your brand. Consider search engine optimization. Pity the fools. Guest post at high-profile magazine. All of the lights all of the time…
By hndrk, read it all.
