La nuova versione hyperMILL 2009.2 con la completa integrazione nel CAD in Autodesk Inventor 2010, in SolidWorks, in  thinkdesign e nel software proprietario hyperCAD rappresenta un enorme vantaggio costituito dal fatto che ora gli utenti possono usare le applicazioni CAM all’interno dell’ambiente familiare del software CAD.

hyperMILL può essere dunque attivato direttamente nel CAD, tramite l’apposito pulsante hyperMILL presente nell’interfaccia utente del programma CAD per essere utilizzato in modo più semplice.
Questa soluzione consente inoltre di evitare problemi di importazione dei dati, nonché errori di scrittura o lettura, in quanto, sia il sistema CAD che quello CAM accedono allo stesso modello di dati.
È possibile passare in qualsiasi momento dal sistema CAD al sistema CAM e nel caso in cui vengano modificati i dati CAD, le operazioni CAM definite vengono automaticamente aggiornate.
Con la versione hyperMILL 2009.2 gli utenti delle varie piattaforme CAD ora hanno a disposizione l’intera gamma delle nuove funzioni del software CAM, tra cui

• il concetto ottimizzato di corsa rapida,
• la lista lavorazioni ampliata,
• la funzione Joblinking,
• il perfezionamento della libreria utensili
• le funzioni di “Trasformazione” e “Mirror” (Riflessione)

it’s a way to achieve immortality.

If something comes to life in others because of you, then you have made an approach toward immortality. ~ NORMAN COUSINS

Davi, okrog četrte ure, so neznanci ponovno lotili lokala Cafe Open v Ljubljani. Tokrat so v vrata lokala vrgli granitno kocko in razbili steklo. Med dogodkom je bil lokal prazen in zaprt.

Gre že za drugi incident povezan z omenjenim gejem in lezbijkam prijaznim lokalom. Spomnimo, konec junija so neznanci Open napadli, ravno ko je v njem potekal literarni večer, del prireditev Parade ponosa 2009. Neznanci so takrat v lokal vrgli gorečo baklo in fizično napadli glbt-aktivista Mitjo Blažiča.

Ponoven incident povezan z lokalom Cafe Open, ki v Ljubljani poskuša vzpostavljati odprt in strpen prostor, je zaskrbljujoč. Upamo, da dogodek ni ponovno dejanje homofobije in sovražnosti, in da ni povezan s sodnim epilogom junijskega napada, ki ga pričakujemo prav v teh dneh.

Vsem, ki se zavzemajo za vključujočo družbo sporočamo, da bo Open svoja prizadevanja za odprto družbo kljub incidentom in napadom pogumno nadaljeval še naprej.

Še en dober teden za Slovenijo. Pa naj še kdo reče, da se nič ne dogaja. V zadnjem času namreč največ vlagamo v kulturo. In šport. In povezavo med obema.

Pred parimi dnevi smo si v tekmi z Rusi rezervirali karto za na svetovno prvenstvo v fuzbalu. Sicer zdaj samo čakamo, da nam Rusi zaprejo cev s plinom. Ampak ni panike, se bomo pa z medico greli. Še najmanj to gane premieja Pahorja, ki je po tekmi z nasmeškom na obrazu vidno zadovoljen v orgiji glancal papućice toples nogometašem, ponosom Slovenije.

Posnetek tega čudovitega, srce parajočega dogodka, si lahko ogledate tukaj. SDjevci so ga namreč z brado gor in z Zdravljico v ušesih nalimali kar na svojo stran.

Na drugi strani države, v Ljubljani, pa so se kulturno-fizičnih aktivnosti udeleževale druge princeske kraljevine Slovenije. Danes okoli pete ure zjutraj je nek biser ljubljanski v Café Open z vso svojo ponosno močjo zalučal granitno kocko, eno tistih, ki se kotalijo po gradbiščih mestnih ulic. Morda je to znova napad na lgbt lokal, še posebej, ker terminsko zelo lepo sovpada s prihajajočo obravnavo primera napada na Open letos junija. Morda pa je to samo še ena ovčica, ki je hotela poleteti, saj ima v glavi le helij, na tleh pa je bila lahko samo zaradi obtežitve z granitom.

Malo težko zdaj vreščimo, da gre Slovenija naprej, a ne?

If you want to stop pucks the Zen way, it is important to understand that no matter how many games you have played and no matter how many times you have played a particular team, EVERY game is different. If you go into the game thinking, “Oh, yeah, this is the team that beat us 9 to zip. We have no chance in hell with them,” well, then you probably will have a self-fulfilling prophecy and may just suck once again.

When you are able to goaltend with a Zen mind, you go into the game with a clean slate. Every single situation is new, meaning you are not attached to any particular outcome. Just because you’ve gotten scored on 5-hole the last 5 times these guys have shot at you, does not mean that the next time you can’t say to yourself, “Keep my stick on the ice and close my 5-hole ASAP!” It’s possible.

Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind really is all about keeping an open mind and being available to whatever options or outcomes are possible. When we have a beginner’s mind playing inbetween the pipes we believe in absolutely nothing therefore absolutely everything is possible!

An excellent video that very thoroughly refutes many of the arguments the unknowing-certain tend to make about “having an open mind”.

A vacation dinner conversation.

Me: “What do you think you’re gonna have?”

Hubby: “I’m not sure, I’m between the salmon or the chicken”

Me: “Really?”

Hubby: “Yeah why?”

Me: “I don’t know… I guess cause I read the whole menu, and I was pretty sure you’d decide on the pork”

Hubby: “The pork, really?

Me: “Yeah, they have a shredded Mayan pork”

Hubby: “I like that?”

Me: “Well, you love pulled pork, don’t you?”

Hubby: “Yeah, I guess so”

Me: “Then why wouldn’t you like this pork?”

Hubby: “Uhm… I don’t know…”

Dinnner arrives.

Hubby: “This is one of the best dinners I’ve had”

Me: “I figured you’d like it”

Hubby: “I guess I forgot that I liked pork”

Me: “Why do I know what you eat better than you do?”

Hubby:  “I have no idea.. but thanks!”

I’ve mentioned that hubby has come a long way with regard to expanding his food choices beyond hamburgers, pizza and pasta but I think sometimes, even years later, he forgets that his new repertoire is rather large.  And, he definitely has trouble translating the fact that he enjoys a particular taste to trying a new food item.

Hubby has many idiosyncrasies when it comes to food (which I’ll have to explore in other posts). But, I think he’s finally settled into a happy place and he’s open to trying almost all new things.

Although there was that one Ginger Incident that I think has irreparably damaged him.

One of my happiest days was convincing hubby to try sushi.  In my eyes, this was a huge accomplishment because when I first met hubby he “didn’t eat seafood”.  Not just a couple of items, this was a proud declaration he made that any and all seafood items were disgusting.  So, little by little I introduced him to light, white flaky fishes.. “oh, these are pretty good”.  Then we moved to steak like fishes “wow, these are really good”.  So, I felt pretty excited to start a slow sushi introduction… and, all was going well until the ginger.

Hubby:  “What’s this pink stuff?’

Me: “It’s actually ginger”

Hubby: “What do you do with it?”

Me: “Well, I actually don’t like it, but a lot of people love it.  Some people put it on their sushi, other people just eat pieces of it.  It’s used as a palate cleanser and it’s supposed to aid with digestion.”

Hubby: “Will I like it?”

Me: “I have no idea.. you should just try it.  I personally think it’s gross, but like I said, many people love it”

Hubby: “You don’t like it.. but I should try it??”

Me: “Yes, you should try it”

Hubby: (pops a piece into his mouth …… gagging, spitting, choking sounds…). “What the Hell?  Why did you make me eat that?”

Me: (giggling) “I told you I thought it was gross”

Hubby: “But you didn’t tell me it would be the worst thing I ever put into my mouth”

Me: “Honey, how would you know if you didn’t like something if you never tried it? Now you know, and you never have to eat it again”

Hubby: “Yeah but, I’m not sure if I can ever trust you again”

What’s the takeaway from this ?? Well, every single time after the Ginger Incident that I’ve suggested that hubby try something new I get… “Is this gonna be anything like that ginger, cause if it is, I’m gonna hate you……”

Recently I have been reflecting on the growth and changes I have made in the past few years and I am fascinated by how growth, changes, and really deep transformation have occurred on a mental as well as physical level.  I have had times when growth, awareness, and change in my way of thinking brought about significant changes in my approach to my body and my yoga practice and I have also had times when it was the growth, awareness, and change I made in my approach to my physical practice that brought about noticeable changes in my way of thinking.

When I began my practice over a decade ago, I was very aggressive on the mat.  I imagine that, if I had a video recording of me practicing at that time, what I would see would be a lot of effort, force, and aggression on my face and in how I held my body.  That was a period in my life when I mistook aggression and rigidity for strength.  And that belief was reflected in my body, in my speech, and in how I saw and engaged with the world.

As I grew in my practice and became more self-aware, I found myself gravitating towards the desire for a more conscious role in my journey of personal transformation.  Without even intentionally asking for it, my physical practice helped open me up in a way that gave me a sense that I may have a choice in how I want to be in this world.  And as I continue to learn and do more things that support my growth and increase my awareness, the shift in my mental state influences how I am on the mat, opening me up to the possibility that I don’t have to be aggressive in my practice but that I can choose to be kinder, more patient, more compassionate and loving in my practice.  That, in turn, sends a clear communication to my body that it is safe to open up even more.

What I am learning is that the kinder I am to myself on the mat (and kindness here has no correlation with the level of strength or intensity of the practice but refers merely to the mental attitude towards the practice), the more I open up my mind and the more I open my mind, the more aware I become, the more choice I have,and the greater my sense of freedom.  And that sense of freedom, choice, and awareness in turn supports my physical practice in new, unexpected ways.

An Open Letter to Cyrus Irani, the TEDx Vancouver organizing team and everyone who has raised concerns about the event,

Welcome to a crash course in the difficulties of shaping and guiding something that belongs to the Public Trust!

That people feel passionately about the TED Lectures is beyond question.  The organizing team are passionate enough about it that they’ve dedicated their time and energy to making it happen. The people who have made their thoughts known since the event was announced many months ago – who put their ideas forward to speak at the event, who applied to attend and, perhaps especially, those who have turned up the volume across the social media channels over the past day – are just as passionate about what TED means to them.

It’s been a fascinating conversation to watch, a very public conversation and I’ve tried to bite my tongue on it but I just can’t do it.  There’s a few things that I am feeling compelled to say.

But first an admission: I will be attending TEDxVancouver.  I will be listening and speaking to people at the event that day with an open mind.  It’s about respect.  Make no mistake, I am honoured to be a part of the first TED event in Vancouver.

My expectation is that the presenters at TEDxVancouver will deliver an amazing, inspirational and life-affirming day and that optimism and a renewed commitment to action will reign.

But that doesn’t mean that I am exactly enthralled by how the organizers have handled things or that I’m 100% in agreement with what the dissenting voices are saying.

For those of you coming a late to the party, a little background.

TEDx Vancouver was announced some time during the early summer, I believe, and during those early months people could apply to present a lecture.  I applied to present but was not chosen.

Then the organizing team opened the registration for attendees.  I applied to attend (I know how ridiculous that sounds and I will leave it to others to pick this aspect of the whole thing apart and offer creative solutions) and was accepted.

I printed my evite when it arrived and happily waited for the event.

Then yesterday the TEDx Vancouver organizers announced the line-up of speakers and the shit hit the proverbial fan.

Twitter and Facebook lit up with links, opinions and commentary like your drunk uncle had just found a secret stash of roman candles in the attic.

People were outraged that only 1 of the 11 speakers chosen to present that day is a woman.  There were questions about the racial mix of the speakers’ panel and the intellectual pedigree of some of the speakers.

People wanted to know: is Vancouver really best represented by video game designers, television personalities, film makers, web strategists, environmental entrepreneurs and Terry McBride?  (Does any Vancouverite really want an honest answer to that question?)

Was the agenda of the organizing team too narrow in its scope?  Did the organizing team bother to look any further than the corporate rolodex at the EA headquarters where the event is being held?

Some people weren’t ‘feeling’ the vision.  They weren’t sure that venture capitalism, advertising and cinematic special effects were the stuff of ‘inspirational genius.’

The voices that were speaking out wanted something.  And they were passionate about it, but what did they want?

They wanted to be heard.  They wanted to feel like they were a part of TEDxVancouver even if they weren’t going to attend the actual day.

I’m not sure that their outrage really had too much to do with the speakers on the panel.  I think that it’s actually more about how the organizing committee communicated their vision for TEDxVancouver to the public over time, and how they handled the backlash when it happened.

The best expression of how people felt was written by Stephanie Vacher in this post that appeared shortly after the news broke.

A very eloquent and thoughtful letter.

Those are not the terms that I would use to characterize TEDxVancouver’s response posted on their site the next day.

Their letter, in my opinion, sucks.  It’s appallingly generic and does little more than gloss over the concerns expressed by Stephanie and others.  It reads like a form letter from Telus and I think it exposes the true root of the problem.

The Root of the Problem: a perceived lack of accountability/communication on the part of the organizing committee for 2 things that people feel very strongly about: a very personal vision of what the City of Vancouver represents to them and the founding ideals of the TED brand. Then mix in a sensitivity to how the rest of the world perceives Vancouver and its relationship to the TED brand.

Especially in this city of boundless interconnection and frenetic, highly-caffeinated intellectual and artistic energy you’ve got to meet people on their turf and share the info.

It is better to have transparent processes and more open public communication when handling things that are so connected to people’s aspirations and sense of place.

To me, that is what we have learned over the past 36 hours.

I think that Raul Pacheco-Vega, PhD said it best in his response to the letter posted online:

There is one point that I think is far from obvious and that I want to address in print. TED’s success in promoting “ideas worth spreading” hinges on successfully exploiting the scalability properties of information flow in a networked society. In other words, for TED to succeed, the videos and talks need to go viral and have the broadest reach in the shortest amount of time. Best medium to accomplish that? The online world.

And the online world favors transparency and accountability.

Medtem, ko se v naši mali državici ne dogaja absolutno nič lgbt-related zanimivega, razglabljanje o predlogu sajvemokaterega zakonika pa že vsakomur oblikuje gube na čelu, se zunaj podalpskih meja marsikaj dogaja. In četudi se ne, si že ustvarijo zanimivosti oz. novice sami. Pa poglejmo, kaj navdušuje (predvsem) lezbični svet v tujini:

1. Lady GaGa je prisostvovala večerji v čast varovanju človekovih pravic. Purana je prispeval Obama. Kar mi ni jasno je to, zakaj prisotnost in/ali mnenje gospodične GaGa kar naenkrat tako veliko pomeni. Oprostite, ampak njen pokerski obraz ni nič kaj poseben.

2. Lizzy the Lezzy. Megapopularna animacija na sceni. Sami presodite, če vam je všeč.

3. Ameriška lgbt scena se je znova fino organizirala. Postavili so portal. Ne takšnega, kot je tle L word chart. Gre za Gay Girls Job Board, kjer s pomočjo filtrov prikažejo ponudbo delovnih mest, ki so lesbian friendly. Me prav zanima, kako bi to delovalo pri nas: Zaposlimo medicinsko sestro pripravnico za delo v domu starejših občanov v Spodnjem Dupleku. Lahko je lezbijka, saj zaupamo, da ne bo maltretirala starejših tetk in se hotela z njimi poročiti, četudi iz izključno materialnih razlogov in ne zato, da bi potem hotela še kakšne šmrkavce posvojiti.

4. Vsi so zopet navdušeni nad našimi najljubšimi gay dvojčicami, Tegan & Sara. Dekleti sta namreč izdali nov album z naslovom Sainthood. Prvi singl lahko poslušate kar na njuni spletni strani. Meni osebno je kar všeč. Onidve tudi.

5. Izkaže se, da imajo čez lužo punce veliko več lezbičnih nadaljevank in nanizank, v katerih se najdejo, fantazirajo, ali pa samo sproščajo, jokajo in nasmejejo, kot jih imamo mi. Tako je, imajo jih več kot nič. Slavnih (in debilno prevedenih) Ženskih zadev oz. The L Word je konec in to brez, da bi ugotovili, kdo je naredil gledalcem uslugo in ubil Jenny. Just for the record, ni bila Shane. Ona pač ni taka. Zdaj me je že malo zaneslo, kajneda? Kakorkoli že, na ameriških tv programih si mlade nadobudne lezbijke lahko pogledajo kopico nadaljevank. Bojda je ena najpopularnejših We have to stop now , notri pa vidimo tudi Suzzanne Westenhoffer, malo manj simpatično lezbično komedijantko od kraljice Ellen DeGeneres. Poleg mnogih drugih so gledljive baje tudi Girltrash in Plan V.

6. Za konec pa še link do članka v eni najbolj popoularnih lezbičnih revij, The Curve Magazine. V članku avtorica ponuja instant prepoznavanje bejb, s katerimi se res, ampak reeees ne želite zapletati. Od vaših, khm khm, sostanovalk dalje.

Lep večer vsem pa se vidimo ta vikend. Najprej v Openu na – svežih kot kumara in slastnih kot mamina potica – koktejlih, potem pa Natakarica taxi prosim! in dalje na Metelkovo pet z Meto in plesat z Guilty Eve in Nibeye, članici DJ skupine Female’S'Cream.

اة المتش شغال و انا مش بتفرج عليا

و اة انا والله العظيم مصري وكمان نفسي ان مصر تكسب

و لو مصر كسبت هفرح و لو خسرت مش هزعل

و دي النقطة: انا مش لازم حياتي تقف يوم ما المنتخب يلعب ولا لازم يجيلي اكتئاب لو خسر , لو ان شاء الله كسبنا هفرح بس لو خسرنا اذا hard luck

من نظري في مجموعة كبيرة كل معرفتها بالرياضة ان هيا تتفرج علي الكورة امال فين التنمية الزاتية و ان انا العب رياضة و محدش يقول مفيش وقت مهو الوقت موجود اهو عشان المتش ما تستغلة صح و تلعب انت بدل ما يتلعب ب اعصابك لمدة ساعة و نص

و  فين قدرة اناس و رغبتها علي الحلم الناس سلمت دماغها اللي صدت و انا اسف في اللفظ بس اة دة نوع من انواع الاعطال او الصداء اللي بيصيب الانسان ان قدرتة علي الحلم تروح و يكون طموحة و حلمة هوا حلم حد تاني

في حاجة الكورة مش من اهتماماتي اصلا بس كنت فرحان جدا لما فزنا المتش اللي فات بتاع الجزاير هنا في مصر لية ؟

عشان اصحابي كلهم فرحنين و جو عام من الانبساط طاقتة الايجابية عالية جدا كان جو ممتاز لان انا كنت عايز اغير الجو بتاعي

Po naravnih zakonih je tako, da je eden od teh tipov gay. Seveda zaradi družbenih zakonov nikoli ne bomo vedeli, kateri.

If studying and learning from the past only serves to create more of the same problems we are experiencing, as Otto Scharmer eloquently presents in his book Theory U, and the way to a different future is by sensing into and connecting with future possibilities – a view, by the way, supported in much of Peter Block’s work around Civic Engagement and the Restoration of Community, what is required to shift us – individually and collectively – into living into an emergent future rather than one that flows from the past?

This question excites me. Intuitively I completely get it – even as I work to get my head around it well enough to explain it to others and to live more fully into it in my life and work.

It requires tapping into new  or underused leadership skills and capacities like activating intelligences in addition to cognitive – the intelligences that come from an open mind, open heart and open will.

Shifting the shape of leadership – internally and externally is the most significant struggle I witness in the people, teams and organizations I speak to and work with.

In Theory U,  Scharmer speaks about the social field which he describes as the totality and type of connections through which the participants of a given system (organization, community, family, social network) relate, converse, think and act.  When there is a shift in the social field, people connect with a deeper source of creativity and knowing and move beyond the patterns of the past.  When this happens it is a memorable moment.   It results in outcomes that include a heightened level of individual energy and awareness, a sustained deepening of one’s authenticity and personal presence and a clarified sense of direction as well as significant professional and personal accomplishment.  It is felt individually and collectively.  And it has been far too rare an occurrence in the past, sometimes because it feels elusive rather than something you can create or co-create with intentionality and sometimes because it almost doesn’t seem real.

What does it take to more permanently shift the social field?  Awareness.  Intentionality.  The willingness to hold the space for this to happen and emergence to occur.  Presence.  Things that now and in the past we often say we don’t have time for because the business at hand is too pressing. We need results!  Current leadership practices and organizational and social culture do not support creating the conditions to sense into and connect with future possibilities and this is the point of resistance and struggle in many organizations right now.  Individuals see it, sense it, come close to it, yearn for it and then the risk feels too great to step partially or fully into needed new leadership practices.

Scharmer says the essence of leadership is to shift the inner place from which we operate both individually and collectively.  It may well be the single most important leverage point for shifting the social field in this century.  This is enormously exciting to me as I am more and more boldly emphasizing growing capacity through self-awareness, personal and, dare I say, spiritual journey – however that shows up for people.

How can we learn to better sense and connect with future possibilities that are seeking to emerge? Presencing is one means of sensing, tuning in and acting from one’s highest future potential – the future that depends on us to bring it into being.  There are many avenues to presencing, individually and collectively.  A few of them: meditation, physical exercise like running, mindfulness in any activity including walking, connecting to nature, yoga, Aikido and Shamanic practice.  Any practice that requires us to activate a different source of intelligence: the intelligence of the heart, which gives us much greater capacity to listen into the emerging field of the future.

I know this experience of listening into the emerging field of the future.  It is what happens when I follow the energy flow of intuition around work, life and the things that matter most in my life and journey.  It is what happens when I am willing to let go and let come, when I can let go of attachment (or at a minimum identify it when it shows up) and surrender completely into what is wanting to happen (instead of trying to direct it or manage it).

Taking a note from Scharmer’s work on Theory U, I am immersing myself in this study and will start by observe, observe, observe, then retreat and reflect, then act in an instant.  I am deeply curious about the future I am sensing into and connecting with and what magic will emerge for me and others as I do so.

انا مبتفرجش علي المتش دالوقتي

Recently I did a reading for Glen, whose catastrophe of a relationship had just detonated. It had been tempestuous from the start, punctuated by Jenna’s coldness, extreme mood swings and unsubstantiated accusations. Her exaggerated jealousy had alienated Glen from his friends. Even his grown children saw little of him.

Her demands on Glen were relentless: she wanted more time, money, energy and love. Marriage came up with abrasive regularity. Worn down, Glen finally agreed and bought her a DeBeers engagement ring. it wasn’t good enough for Jenna and she exchanged it for a more expensive one. She went on a $10,000 shopping spree at Barney’s and he paid the bill.  Glen missed a doctor’s appointment because his fiancee had taken his new BMW 750i Sedan out for a spin.

Glen was in an active Mercury time. When we’re engaged with  Mercury, omens, signs and synchronicities flood our lives. Why? Because Mercury is the Messenger. Mercury directs information flow, sometimes in weird ways, giving us clues and hints, answers to the questions that we seek.

And Glen’s life was overflowing with them. Jenna complained that he hadn’t replied to her emails–but he had mysteriously never received them. While waiting in a Starbucks line, he noticed a man reading “Why Is It Always About You?” a self-help book about narcissism. Days before before they split up, Glen dreamt that he was trapped in an iceberg surrounded by wilting roses with thorns the size of crocodile teeth. He woke up in a cold sweat. If he had paid attention to these Mercury prompts, he might have saved himself a world of trouble.

After the break up, he heard from a friend he hadn’t spoken to in years. She invited him to  dinner with she and her husband that weekend—another Mercury clue . Glen accepted. Venus, the planet of relationships, was also giving him the high sign to accept this sorely needed support.

Next time you’re uncertain of what step to take next, turn to Mercury. Look for clues. They’re swarming about you constantly, and not just during a Mercury time. Stop, listen, look and learn. It doesn’t take detective work. Just be curious and alert. Have an open mind. As you surf the seas of information, pay attention. Then it’s a pretty safe bet that you won’t get swept away.

Want to know what signs to look for so that you can point yourself in the right direction? Check in with your Mercury and the rest of the cosmos with me in an Evolutionary Astrology reading.

Na spodnjem naslovu je okrogla miza, ki je spet ena od tistih, kjer se eni pogovarjajo o drugih, brez da bi drugi imeli možnost sodelovanja. Zanimivo je, da nihče, razen predstavnikov verskih skupnosti (od katerih eni niti ni nujno priznati opravilne sposobnosti), ni izrecno proti posvojitvam otrok s strani istospolnih parov. Kljub vsemu pa ima človek celo oddajo občutek, da iz vseh po vrsti (razen iz Pribca) vejejo predsodki, ki pa si jih ne dovolijo izraziti, ker jih ne znajo utemeljiti. Vsa homofobija se izrazi na vprašanju, ali bi bili otroci, rojeni v istospolnih družinah, morda lahko v večjem deležu istospolno usmerjeni, kot otroci iz heteroseksualnih družin. Kdor za odvrnitev te “nevarnosti” začne navajati raziskave, ki dokazujejo, da je ta bojazen odveč, je homofob, ga. Ivelja.

Da o drugih traparijah ne izgubljam besed…

veste, življenje je lepo. in popolnoma preprosto. zeleno je zeleno. in besede so nekaj s čimer, mi ljudje, pojasnjujemo in opravičujemo svoja dejanja. rada imam tiste redke trenutke, ko sem mirna. ko vse stoji na svojem mestu, ko veš, da tako preprosto mora biti. najbrž živimo oz. poskušamo v življenju dosegat to mirnost in prepričanje, da je vse vredu in ok. obstajajo ljudje, ob katerih imam takšen občutek. občutek, da lahko storim vse, da zmorem popolnoma vse, ker ni omejitev, so le tiste v glavi in pa morda posledice s katerimi se boš moral sprijaznit ali pa jim ubežat. danes ne bežim. sedim v absolutni sredini tega prostora. in popoln mir je tukaj. po tednu dni, bežanja in hitenja, je danes tu mir. ob steni gorita dve sveči in ustvarjata intimnost prostora. velika črna televizija, vedno znova in tako hitro, da ne dohajam, spreminja sliko in zamenjuje besede. moški glas, ki ga ne poznam. in zvok sporočila. sporočilo tiste vrste, za katerega veš, da bo sprožil plaz novih besed, pa čeprav kar tako, samo nočeš, da bi se to piskanje končalo. in se ne. nov zvok za sporočilo. čas je že bil. ko se neko obdobje v življenju konča, je najbrž primerno ali pa spontano, da spreminjaš tudi ostale stvari, takšne malenkosti kot so, da miza v dnevni sobi stoji bolj levo kot ponavadi, da ne zapiraš zobne paste, ker je lahko tudi odprta, in da lahko sediš na glavi, četudi te bo jutri bolela. mhm. črna čokolada z pomarančnim nadevom. za procent srečnejša postanem, ko se mi stopi v ustih. neumno morda, pa vseeno. takšne male stvari mi lepšajo življenje. danes je bila na obisku prijateljica. in je ena redkih oseb, ki me zares pozna in ki ve, katere besede imam v glavi, pa jih še nisem izrekla. in eden izmed tistih zares iskrenih ljudi je, ki bodo rekli, da so veseli, da si ostal sam, ker ne potrebuješ tistega nekoga, ker si dovolj že sam po sebi, takšen kot si. in takšne besede me resnično pomirijo in ustvarijo vakum okrog mene, ki ga nihče nekaj časa ne more porušiti. rada imam ljudi. pozabila sem že kako zelo imam rada različne ljudi, njihove poglede na svet, neumnosti, ki jih govorijo. in ja, počutim se malo bolj svobodno, malo bolj dosegljivo in sposobno doseči tisto, kar je namenjeno meni. zares ni več tistega pritiska nekje znotraj, ki se je takrat naselil v meni. vse je na svojem mestu, ja. in danes se mi zdi prav, da je tako.

It is amazing how in the human race we need others in our lives to some capacity but are still quick to tribe up. What I mean by that is, we will create a small circle of influence and then stick to it no matter if we have outgrown it or even if we find out later that it harms us.

I see this a lot with those that I work with who are from street gangs. They want a better life. They have matured enough to know that this street life will not allow them to reach a single positive goal they want to set for themselves. However, the loyalty built to that “tribe” gang is so strong that often they cannot walk away. In some instances, that circle itself will threaten if a member tries to move away in a pro-social setting. This is just one example of how the human race has not evolved much despite all the technological advancements we have made.

Do not think that this is any different in the corporate world. Stand back outside of a large corporate environment and you will see many smaller groups that have formed for mutual advancement and protection. Let one person try to rise up and move to a higher group, because either he has the capacity or has outgrown the need for the group he is in, and the back stabbing will start. They do not use guns or knives to eliminate the upstart that dares to defy the group mentality, instead they use malicious words, gossip and false accusations. It is the same behavior but with a different weapon. In some ways, a more deadly one because the individual cannot always tell who is gunning for him. At least in a gang, he has a good idea!

The truth is, we as humans all need to grow and realize that no one is really our enemy. There are people that live and think the way we do. There are people who do not. It does not lessen us or them if they live different, think differently or dare to go outside the societal norm. Almost every great achievement in history has required someone to go outside the societal norm. Often, they are outcasts of the very circle that gave birth to their greatness because people fear change. Others will rally around them in hopes that their vision can be brought to fruition. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi are examples of challenging the societal norm.

When we can begin, especially in business, to look at people for what they can teach us, then we can really rise above the petty tribal squabbles of those who stopped growing. Some people will teach you what NOT to do or how NOT to be. Some people will be your mentors. Sometimes, you will excel beyond your mentors and need to develop new ones. This does not devalue your mentor so do not be afraid to keep them in your circle of influence as a friend or someone of value to your growth. Instead just add to your circle a new mentor.

A mentor should be someone that exhibits something that you want. It could be a way of communicating. It could be their values that led them to success. It may be a simple thing such as a peaceful aura even in stressful times that you wish you had. You can have mentors for each thing that you wish to harvest.

As I reread the quote I started with. I cannot think but that it was a very wise person that must have said it. When we in business can truly understand the meaning of those words, we cannot help but to find success.

Včeraj je Ellen DeGeneres gostovala pri gospej Oprah. Pridružila se jima je tudi Portia, žena od Ellen. Kot je bilo pričakovati je beseda kaj hitro prišla do njune poroke in kako se ob tem počutita. Izkaže se, da bloody fenomenalno. Kaj pa je boljšega kot enake pravice za vse? Poleg palačink z nutello in sladoledom, pokapanih z rumčkom, postreženih na trebuščku lepe punce, seveda.

Have you been focusing on one kind of thought? Thoughts of limitations, fear, doubt, and lack? Concentrating on one kind of thought is building a conscious of errors and they come into your life as conditions of error.  Take your concentration to a higher thought away from the low vibrations of fear.  Lift your consciousness to a higher level of thought.  Thoughts of abundance, thoughts of well being, thoughts of clear pure love.  You will find your life will become full of conditions of the positive consciousness you are putting out.

We’re in the studio recording RADIO LOA today.  Tomorrow I’ll be taking Mom back to the doctor for another consultation and therapy so today is a full on ‘keep my head in my work’ day.  I’ve got on my red shirt and my jeans and I am ready to go!

OPEN MIND ha fornito hyperMILL a SIPA Gruppo ZOPPAS INDUSTRIES , scelto per ottimizzare gli stampi per bottiglie in plastica.

hyperMILL, fornito come licenze tornio/fresa 5 assi, si è integrato in modo molto rapido nel reparto produttivo di SIPA, dinamica società produttrice di soluzioni per il packaging e l’imbottigliamento.

hyperMILL è stato scelto tra altri CAM concorrenti perchè in SIPRA cercavano un prodotto che gestisse torni e frese 5 assi in un unico ambiente.
I benefici percepiti dopo la prima licenza installata come prova, sono risultati talmente evidenti che hanno subito ordinato 2 nuove licenze.

Hidup di luar negeri sendiri, khususnya berada di benua yang mungkin menjadi pilihan terakhir buat orang Indonesia buat kunjungan wisatanya yaitu benua Afrika…

Yup, betul sekali saya tinggal di Dakar, Senegal-Afrika. Sebuah negara yang terletak di Afrika Barat ujung banget pokoknya deh, perjalanan dengan pesawat aja harus ditempuh dua puluh jam…!! Can you imagine how it had been ??

Memang dari dulu saya adalah tipe seseorang yang suka tantangan dalam hal apapun itu. Apakah itu berkaitan dengan pelajaran, hidup, masak memasak, sampai dengan taking care of my family!! Dari dulu pula saya punya cita-cita untuk bisa hidup di luar negeri, punya pengalaman baru, culture yang berbeda, suasana dan kondisi yang berbeda pula.

Ternyata oh ternyata Allah SWT mendengarkan doa saya, begitu suami tercinta mendapat kesempatan untuk hengkang dari negeri  tercinta Indonesia Raya, bukannya takut saya malah setuju, aneh kan?? Kalo penempatannya di negara maju atau at least gak di negara yang tertinggal seh mungkin gak masalah buat orangtua saya ataupun untuk mertua saya tapi ini kan Afrika. Teteup aja kekeh sumarikeh…Yuuk mari kita berangkat, and the adventure begins….!!!

Sesampainya di Dakar Senegal, kesan pertama adalah gersang dan jadul…Airportnya aja ya minimal banget dah turun lewat tangga terus naik bis, kagak ada belalainya!! Bertemu dengan komunitas Indonesia di KBRI, seneng tapi lama-lama karena orangnya cuma sedikit jadi segala sesuatunya bisa jadi bumerang buat kita sendiri…..

Disini tantangan dimulai, mungkin masalah keterbatasan keadaan yang kita miliki saat ini seperti belum punya kendaraan sendiri dan ditambah sarana transportasi yang gak begitu baik, yang mengharuskan kita berangkat pagi untuk berebut kendaraan umum (sama kayak di Indonesia seh berebut juga kalo pagi ma sore) itu masih wajar dan kita cukup tangguh kok. Masalah mahalnya semua harga yang dua kali lipat dr harga barang di Indonesia dengan kualitas yang lebih jelek, itu juga kita sekeluarga bisa hadapi dengan cara ya kalo ada duitnya dibeli – gak ada duitnya ya gak dibeli…Gampang kan????

Yang berat untuk saya adalah tidak ada seorangpun tempat mengadu untuk keluh kesah ataupun hanya sebagai temen untuk mendengarkan. Kenapa, karena disini komunitasnya sedikit, sedikit hiburannya pula jadi kalo ada sesuatu diantara orang Indonesia itu jadi makanan buat jadi omongan dan celaan orang. Disini yang berat harus bersikap dengan pura-pura baik ramah, gak boleh berbuat dan bersikap seperti diri sendiri. Sibuk pakai topeng dan cari posisi aman…Capek juga harus bertindak laku seperti itu terus. Semua orang  opportunis alias cuma ngambil keuntungan aja dari kita, tapi mereka bantu kita gak?? Yang ada kesalahan aja yang diingat di kepala mereka….

Yang lebih capek lagi adalah di depan mereka menjadi teman, dibelakang mereka menjadi lawan….Emang sih katanya AA GYM jangan pernah bergantung kepada manusia karena pasti dapatnya cuma kecewa aja!! Saya juga selalu berusaha biar selalu berbaik sangka kepada semua orang yang ada di Dakar ini, berusaha ikhlas membantu semua orang, dan tidak mudah terpancing emosi kayak cita-cita saya itu yang saya tulis dalam artikel sebelumnya  ”super woman and super mom” tapi yang namanya manusia kan gak sempurna jadi ya kadang-kadang jebol juga pertahanan saya…

Tapi kemana saya harus mengadu?? Jika semua orang yang disini bisa menjadi lawan buat saya dan suami saya, bahkan untuk hal yang positif aja, bukan memberi selamat karena kemudahan dan keberuntungan seseorang tapi dijadikan makanan untuk dibahas..Alias iri dan berusaha menjatuhkan bukan memberikan semangat untuk maju?? Padahal sepengetahuan saya, orang hebat itu adalah orang yang bisa berlapang dada memberikan selamat atas keberhasilan seseorang ataupun memberikan semangat agar orang selalu dapat maju ya kan??? Dengan begitu katanya Allah SWT akan membukakan juga pintu kemudahan buat dia juga…

AA GYM bilang dari buku yang saya baca, berbuat baik sebanyak-banyaknya dan berharap dibalas oleh Allah SWT semata itu saja cukup, jangan pernah berharap dari manusia. Syukur kalo dapet hal yang positif dari manusia…..

Jadi kesimpulannya adalah tempat yang aman dan nyaman untuk mengadu ya sama Sang Pencipta Allah SWT, yang gak akan pernah menjadi lawan dan akan selalu menjadi teman…Memang seh gak mungkin bisa langsung kasih solusi karena kalo langsung kata Irma bisa mati kita kalo Allah SWT langsung ngasih solusinya….

Tapi repotnya kalo lagi dateng tamunya,kan gak bisa berkeluh kesah sama Allah SWT, itu jadi moment yang paling berat banget buat saya….Tapi seperti biasa pula namanya hidup, hal ini juga akan berlalu dengan terus berjalannya waktu ya kan?? Itu perasaan positif yang harus diingat dalam alam bawah sadar saya….

Jadi kesimpulan yang bisa ditarik, kata hati itu adalah selalu menjadi petunjuk dari Allah SWT, jadi selalu dengarkan kata hati anda….Dan hanya kepada Allah SWT lah tempat mengadu mengeluh bersyukur serta memohon ampunan atas dosa saya….

Doa yang selalu saya panjatkan adalah agar selalu diberi kekuatan untuk menghadapi semua tantangan hidup di dunia ini, yang tentunya akan membentuk saya menjadi seseorang yang lebih baik dan lebih dekat lagi dengan Allah SWT, sehingga mendapatkan keselamatan di akhirat.

Jadi kalo lagi bete, inget aja walaupun mama ayah saudara dan temen sejati jauh dr sekitar saya tapi ada yang selalu menemani dan dekat sekali kemanapun kita pergi termasuk benua Afrika yaitu Sang Pencipta Allah SWT.
