Here we present the collected writings of Damodar K. Mavalankar (1857-?). In the menu to your right, you will find links to all known articles by Damodar, along with collections of his letters, and portions of the diary he left behind. These we have arranged in chronological order, as much as possible, with the exception of serialized articles, which we have arranged according to the publication date of their first installment. Below you will find an alphabetical listing of the same.
Two compilations of Damodar's writings have been composed posthumously. The first (Damodar: The Writings of a Hindu Chela) was completed in 1940 and represents his full collected writings, including biographical notes, articles, personal letters, references to Damodar by others, his diary, etc.. The second (The Service of Humanity) was first published in 1982, and is composed of materials drawn from the larger collection and brought together in such a way as to demonstrate the heart of Damodar's life and wisdom. A third book, by the compiler of the first volume (Sven Eek), Damodar and the Pioneers of The Theosophical Movement, contains letters from Damodar and provides much biographical and historical context.
Below, and at the top of the right-hand menu, you will find a customized search engine. This search feature is designed to target only the writings of Damodar and to return results drawn from Google's database. It is a powerful tool to use in searching through these collected writings.


Founded in 1889, the IPU has traditionally reflected in its ranks the low proportion and visibility of women in national politics. Disgruntled that they were unable to have an impact on its programmes and policies, a small but active group of women took the initiative to set up a women's caucus in IPU in 1978.
Up until 1983, meetings of women MPs were held occasionally during IPU's statutory sessions, taking the form either of meetings proper, a luncheon or a gathering over tea. In 1983, the women MPs voiced the possibility of establishing an autonomous association under the auspices of the IPU: after thorough analysis, an option in favour of mainstreaming was made in the belief that women's interests would be better served if they got together at each IPU Conference to determine the means through which they could exert an influence on the policies, working and decisions of the Organisation.
Since 1986, a whole-day session is held on the eve of the IPU Assembly (formerly Conference), so that women MPs may decide on strategies in advance in order to make known their views and concerns during the session. In April 1990, the role, objectives and working methods of the Meetings of Women MP were formally set out in a document and the Co-ordinating Committee of Women Parliamentarians, a permanent structure, was established in order to co-ordinate its activities and ensure continuity. Held under the chairmanship of a woman MP from the host country, the Meeting of Women MPs is formally opened in the presence of the highest governmental and parliamentary authorities of that country. Technical support is officially provided by the IPU Secretariat since 1985.
In April 1998, women parliamentarians recommended that in every IPU member Parliament one woman MP should act as a "focal point" to relay to all other women MPs - whatever their political party and even if they belong to the other Chamber - information on the Union's activities to promote partnership between men and women. The aim is to increase awareness of the Union's work in this field within national Parliament, but also to enrich the Union's activity through their reflection and national experience as Members of Parliament.
In 1999, new provisions of the Union's Statutes and Rules were introduced, officially recognising the Meeting of Women Parliamentarians and its Coordinating Committee. Rules of the Meeting and of its Coordinating Committee were adopted in Brussels, at the 100th Conference of the Inter-Parliamentary Union. In addition, by virtue of one of the new provisions of the Statutes, the President of the Coordinating Committee of Women Parliamentarians is henceforth an ex officio member of the Executive Committee. This initiative has made it possible to add a voice to those of the women MPs already elected to the Executive Committee, so that they may represent all of the Union's female members.
Promote an increase in the number of women MPs as delegates to Inter-Parliamentary Meetings.
Promote greater participation of women MPs in all senior posts of the Union.
Allow women to learn more about the status of women in their own and other regions and about strategies or mechanisms developed by other countries to meet the concerns of women.
Establish contact with other women MPs whether or not they participate in IPU meetings.
Pre-study items on the agenda of each of the IPU Conferences from the perspective of women legislators in order to develop strategies to make their delegations receptive to their concerns and to promote their objectives in the plenary sittings of the Conference and Committees.
Identify suitable subjects for study by the Inter-Parliamentary Conference.
Increased gender sensitivity within the IPU which has been able to develop a sustained programme on women's issues, centred particularly on women's political participation and comprising a series of world comparative surveys (both statistical and substantial), a series of specialised meetings and comprehensive strategies to remedy the current gender imbalance with regard to political participation.
Awareness that women's low political integration is a major cause of democratic deficit worldwide.
Advocacy of the principle of equality between men and women, coupled with an acknowledgement of their differences and complementarity.
Promotion of partnership between men and women as an avenue to reach a more democratic form of government and a more democratic society at large.
Action to eradicate violence against women.
Generating awareness of the impact of the media on the status of women and the public image of women politicians.
Increased visibility and influence for women MPs.
Establishment of a formal mechanism through which the Meeting of Women MPs reports on its work and presents recommendations to the Governing Council.
More regular inclusion on IPU's agenda of items concerning women or presenting special interest for them.
Amendment in 1988 to IPU's Statutes providing that its Executive Committee should include at least two women among its twelve members. The first woman ever to enter that governing body was elected that year and, since then, it has always included between two to five women; on two occasions, a woman was elected as its Vice-President.
Amendment in 1990 to the IPU's Statutes stipulating that Parliaments which comprise women members must include at least one woman in their delegations to IPU statutory meetings. A gradual and notable increase in the percentage of women delegates has followed.
Amendment in 1991 to the Rules of the IPU Assembly providing for gender balance within all drafting committees.
Amendment in 1995 of the language of IPU Statutes and Rules to eliminate any wording likely to convey a message of superiority of one gender over the other.
Setting up of a Gender Partnership Group in 1997.
Amendment in 1999 of the Union's Statutes and Rules, which now officially provide that a Meeting of Women Parliamentarians, assisted by a Coordinating Committee, will meet on the occasion of each session of the Inter-Parliamentary Conference and will report to the Council on its work.
Adoption of Rules of the Meeting and of its Coordinating Committee.
The President of the Coordinating Committee has been an ex officio member of the Union's Executive Committee since 1999.

Colin Kennedy's "The L.A. Boys," a documentary about the skaters behind one of the most influential video sections of all time, is out now. Take a look at one of his earlier projects: the visionary "QUIK" featuring Austyn Gillette. Here's what Berra said about "QUIK" when it was first released in 2013:
One of the best looking guys on and off the board is without a doubt Austyn Gillette and Colin Kennedy put into motion with him a project he had been talking with me about for at least a year. The result was one good looking dude, one good looking style, and one damn fine looking video project, QUIK. -SB
"The L.A. Boys" is available now on iTunes, and on the following platforms: Vimeo on Demand (side note: this is the best viewing option for skaters in Europe), Amazon, Google Play, VUDU, Playstation Video, and on Xbox. If you have even the faintest interest in the late-'80s tectonic shift towards what was then known as "street style" skating, you need to see this movie. It will give you goosebumps.
The Berrics will be releasing exclusive content from the filming of "The L.A. Boys" throughout the week. Stay tuned!

Shareholder Alert: Robbins LLP Reminds Investors Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR) Sued for Misleading Shareholders
SAN DIEGO & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 10, 2020--
Shareholder rights law firm Robbins LLP reminds investors that purchasers of Nektar Therapeutics (NASDAQ: NKTR) filed a derivative complaint against the company's officers and directors for alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 between November 11, 2017 through the present. Nektar develops drug candidates for cancer, auto-immune disease, and chronic pain in the United States. The company's lead clinical-stage drug is NKTR-214, a modified version of cytokine IL-2

Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR) Accused of Misrepresenting the Viability of its Drug NKTR-214
According to the complaint, Nektar touted to investors that NKTR-214 was a promising new universal cancer treatment drug. Nektar further asserted that it could improve the drug by adding polyethylene glycol molecules to IL-2, a process known as "pegylating," to extend the half-life and reduce side effects. To investors' surprise, on October 1, 2018, a report published by Plainview LLC claimed that NKTR-214 did not live up to Nektar's claims and expectations for the drug's safety and efficacy. The report revealed that Nektar had withheld 69% of response rates on dosed patients in its PIVOT study "in an unprecedented level of data opacity." In addition, the report alleged that pegylation impaired the efficacy of NKTR-214, rendering it " completely useless for treating cancer." On this news, Nektar's stock price fell over 9% over the following two trading sessions to close at $55.33 on October 2, 2018, and continues to decline, closing today at around just $21.50.

Thanks Razor. Am jealous of your 22 miles and your new trainers. I bought a Nike baselayer (that doesn't look much like a baselayer) for £10 yesterday, but it isn't as exciting as new trainers!
Ouch Jevans! - Sounds a rough ride. Ummm, does it help that I shall learn from your example and think I'd better learn how to change a tyre and make sure I take the stuff with me!
Ginger - your tip sounds painful! But yes, I can see how that would also be really painful.
I'm too sore after yesterday and too few hours sleep last night due to a feverish Smidge in my bed. So I decided to give it a miss. Will be back into it tomorrow.
My big girl is 8. She is the one who got me into running. She is very highly strung and in most things will crumble like a biscuit when under pressure of something that she is not sure about. However, she really is an excellent runner and that has built up her self-confidence no end. Why do i hesitate to let her do tri? Cos she is already running 5k Parkrun every other week and I don't want to push her too much. Even though I am not a pushy parent and this is definitely her desire.
Sorry, a bit of a ramble. I just have to get my head round the practicalites. I don't know any other kids who do tri's. Anyone got any tips?
I'm getting some new trainers on Friday hoping it will give me a lift.
I'm not serious about the last one lol defiantly look to see what races out there first.
When I signed up, I noticed that the Crystal Palace Tri has kids' races.
Maybe minichilli wouldn't need that much training other than swimming, if she's already a good runner? The cycle and run legs are very short.
I guess it partially depends if you think she's likely to get upset if she struggles with it, as well as on the swimming practicalities.
Chili - learn away! I know I have! Last time I changed a tube/fixed a puncture it took about 2 hours, so I definitely have some practising to do.
ST - Oh dear. With Tigers making it through, it sounds like you may end up risking further important training sessions! Hope you managed to get your brick in elsewhere.
Had first physio session - ouch it hurt, but has done some good, bit more flexing in the wrist, loads of exercises to do.
Cycled 1:15 on bike, listened to David Bowie greatest hits, not bad but will go back to Queen or U2 for my faster session.
Decent kit from Start Fitness online too - check out the More Mile stuff - Tri tops, shorts and suits, all good price and decent quality too. I'm not on comission by the way!
Did the Chernobyl 10k yesterday in Preston - full of a cold, felt crappy (get my excuses in early) but still managed 44mins - quite happy with that. Stiff today, although icy bath when I got home helped a lot.
Planning next race now - aiming for a 10K in Feb, then a Half marathon in March. Sprint TRi in March too, probably Ribby Hall in Lancs. Was planning to do Blackpool marathon too - heard its been cancelled???
I shall see if I can find to local kids races.
Steady - hope your wrist heals up fast.
Another terrible night with a feverish Smidge. Am so tired I could cry but didn't want to miss another day of training so have just done 10miles of hills on the bike. First ride in the dark. I have lights and high vis vest but still found it scary.
Gingergav .................which half marathon are you doing and which Sprint is that in March?
44min for 10k when your feeling crap.... not bad in my books mate, well done .
Gingergav - 44 min for 10k is only in my dreams, i'm more like one hour, so well done, recover well.
Gingergav - more praise.... 45 mins for a 10k is about 3 years away for me (2 if I am feeling optimistic!). Rock on!
I think I'm in recovery today, so hope to make it to my circuits class tonight. I made sure to keep well hydrated yesterday, so I wonder if that has helped. Or maybe it was the cafetiere of coffee I treated myself to... ;o) Either way, I'm hoping feeling human is within my grasp and I'll get some running miles in this week.
Ooo - interesting point for thoughts... I'm taking the approach of trying to do all disciplines every week, but with a particular focus on one of them. So last week was Bike Week, this week is Run Week, next week will be Swim Week... with the aim being to do just a bit more that usual, or do a key session (e.g. really long swim, or focussed long run, or maybe just an additional run session). What do people think of that? It's just to try and make it managable in my schedule as I build up endurance in all sports. And it means I have weekly goals that I can work on over a three week period. What do others do?
You're all so nice to me! I'm filling up!
I have had my comeuppance though - paying for running with a cold - the cold weather on Sunday has shifted my cold onto my chest. Feels like i'm being sat on. No training for me tonight.
The Sprint i'm looking at is at Ribby Hall, Wrea Green, nr Kirkham, Lancs in March - date yet to be set, but its run by Tim Armit in association with Fylde Tri Club. He runs 3 events a year - Ribby Hall in March, St Annes Tri in April, then Fleetwood Tri in September. He is calling them Fylde Tri-logy, I think. All sprints with pool swims.
The Gt North West half marathon in Blackpool is a good one, on Sun 27th FEb. I'm fancying that one but only coming back from holiday the day before, so might go for the St Annes Twin Pier half on 13th March. There is also the St Annes Ultrafit Fire Station 10 miler on 20th March. I'll definitely do one of these! Blackpool half has good PB potential - very flat but often windy.
JEvaNs - you are very organised! My weekly goal is often "do something", which usually equates in a perfect week to a club run on Tuesday nights (6-8km), swiss ball work on a wednesday at home (even 10mins kills me), run on own on a thursday (6-8km again), swim friday (pool, up to 1.5km if feeling tip top), club bike ride saturday morning (50-80km), run sunday afternoon (5-8km), rest monday. More usually it ends up as 2 runs only, short swim or no swim (oops), and bike ride if its dry (turbo for an hour if not). Very rare that each week goes to plan!
I find it very hard to be organised to, I find the more I plan the less I do. Although going through a bad patch at the minute, since being ill over Dec/early Jan I've lost my get up and go I just can't shake this last bit of virus just feel knackered all the time plus still got lots of mucus which isn't good.
Still gonna go and put my gear on now and just try and do 5k off road, will let you all know how I get on.
Go for it, Silver Trucker - you always feel better for getting out there, even if it's hard work. I often find the thought of going out when its cold and damp is worse than the reality! Picture the faces of people seeing you going past thinking "blimey, he's committed, running today"!
bootsie take care and remember to take it slowl and steady on your return.
Bootsie - Sorry to hear that you are bed-bound - hope you're feeling better soon.
Gingergav - i think I was typing last night when you filed your post so missed it. Congratulations on a great run.
Jevans - that sounds very impressive. Am very interested to hear how you feel it helps. I looked up some different training programmes and found many of them too complicated to even finish reading through! Then I found one that suggested running 3 times and week, cycling 3 times a week and swimming 2 times a week. Make at least one day a brick session. Have one day off. I can cope with that simplicity so that's what I'm doing - roughly.
The good news is that Smidge slept last night and so did I. Just as good is the fact that I didn't wake up sore this week from my 10miles hilly bike ride.
Today being Tuesday meant a swim at lunchtime (46 lengths) and a 4 mile run this evening because I still can't quite fit in 5 miles before taking daughter No.2 to Brownies. Because I have introduced bike training over the past few weeks I have dropped my overall running mileage just slightly. However, the cross training is deffinitely making me stronger. My time for the hilly 4 miles has gone down from 42:35 to 38:40.
On my three week rotating training, I think I am generally doing 2-3 sessions on the bike (which may include spinning if that is more accomodatable!), 2-3 runs a week and 2 swim sessions, but I shift my focus each week to make sure I am increasing my endurance in all three. It just gives me confidence that I am improving in all three things and not just drifting, which I think I could do otherwise. E.g. I might have 4-6 weeks where my training has had to accomodate other things and potentially my running may not go over 10 miles a week and my longest run isn't more than 5 miles and that worries me as I know I need to increase my running mileage. So at least with a weekly focus, even if everything else goes out the window I know I have done my 8 miles running or 20 miles on the bike or very long swim each week.
So, even though this is my fourth day when I probably won't be able to exercise, I know that I need to run, if nothing else, on any of the other days I am able to train. I think it's probably just psychological!!
I quite like the idea of your three week rotation, or a variation thereon, JEvans.
I kind of suspect that I'm not going to manage multiple sessions of all three disciplines every week. Especially the swimming - not that I find the swim especially hard, but the timing of lane sessions and the getting to and fro put more constraints on it. Maybe if I make one week in three a swim focus week it'd help.
lol its easy to dish out advice.. much harder to follow it.. doing better today.. managed a short trip in the car.. and been awake all day so far!
going to do a bit of piltaes today because my back is really suffering from being in bed and sitting all day.. didn't sleep much at all last night iwth th epain.. can't wait to get back to training!!! not rushing it because its only 3 1/2 weeks to brighton half marathon.. tihnk i have enough trianing in the bank for it so just need to get to it fit and healthy now!
Bootsie - glad to hear you're on the mend and being rational. Better to go into a race undertrained than overtrained.
My training plan goes in a 4 week rotation, with the 4th week easing off a bit to recover for the next 4 which are slightly harder and so on.
Today being week 2 on plan a 35 min run, reality 35 mins on treadie which consisted of run 4 mins walk 1 min, with 5 mins w/u and c/d on bike. Managed to keep the speed consistent at 5mph for the run sections.
JEvans- have heard Zumba is good but as it is dance based and i have 2 left feet, would make a good comedy if i gave it a go, thats why i do running.
JEvans, you're on the right lines with your 3-week rotations, but work also on periodization - build for 3 weeks then drop back and do less on week 4, then start your next cycle of building at a bit higher level than before. If you want more information on this type of training, search on macro, micro and mini-cycles.
I'm looking forward to my first tri in May. It's a wee sprint effort. Feeling ok about the swim, I did a bit of swimming in my yoof and it seems to have come back to me. The bike should be ok, although as a mountain biker my first go on a road bike the other week was 'interesting' (no suspension ). My running, however, is rubbish. I'm really slow and once I get to 3/4 miles that's me done. I'd like to start going a bit further so that's what I'm working on at the moment.
I'm thinking I should build up a base first before trying to go faster. Is that the case, or should I be looking at speed too?
Sounds like you are on the right track there JEvans!
I have kind of been to a Zumba class. I was actually supposed to be helping lead an NCT session in the next room but it was boring so I sneaked into the back of the Zumba class. To me it felt like areobics to thumpy dance music. And yes there were 75 other ladies all in a big hall. Although it was billed as 'dance' based it didn't seem particularly dancey and wasn't hard enough to break in to a sweat. Whilst it might exercise different muscles it wasn't enough to increase my heart rate too much.
Bootsie - still sounds rough but good to hear you are feeling a bit better.


Chances are your statrer is getting too hot from the exhaust manifold, is thier a heat shield on the starter if not "get one" if thier is its probably a exhaust leak right around the starter. but the problem is the actual starter is getting too hot, figure out a way to keep it cool. Protect it.

Q: Ensuring Data completeness and validity on third party storage I'm dealing with untrusted external storage and need to ensure the storage provider does not withhold any records in a query.
Example:
I have two trusted entities TA and TB, those entities should be able to alter the data that is stored in the cloud/untrusted storage, but nobody else.
So my solution I equip TA and TB with Public-Keys and i have a data structure that can be compared to a table with versions say
 Ver | Data | Signature       | Signee
  4  |  ... | (AAAAAAAAA)_TA  | TA
  3  |  ... | (ZZZZZZZZZ)_TB  | TB
  2  |  ... | (YYYYYYYYY)_TA  | TA
  1  |  ... | (XXXXXXXXX)_TA  | TA

So when I retrieve such a table from the storage provider, I can easily verify
the signatures and check whether the signature is correct, whether the signee was allowed to change the table or not.
However, I would also like to check for record completeness. Say TA uploads version 4, but TB is only aware of all records up to Version 3. Now the storage provider may withhold Version 4 completely when TB queries it.
As there is no direct sidechannel between TA and TB, there is no way to exchange the current version. Is there a way to circumvent this?
I was thinking of periodically inserting dummy records to at least have some time certainty. However, this approach lacks scalability and would result in a lot of storage and signing overhead.
What is the actual system property i am looking for (it is hard to find research for something you do not know the name of)?

A: If the problem was about record integrity, I would recommend to use MAC (Message Authentication Code). In this case you should use symmetric key cryptography, and it is much more efficient than cryptographic signatures (asymmetric).
I thought about two directions:

*

*You can reduce your problem to record integrity. If you have specific important data that you want to verify, you can just create specific table in the storage that saves when each of the trusted entities updated each of your important variables.
Important data can be something like: number of records (total, new, according to some category), latest version, etc.
When someone does a change that affects important data, he updates the relevant record in the spacial table, and sign on the record - and the record contains also the date of the last update.
Now, to prevent the untrusted storage from returning old records or such things, each of the trusted parties must update the records at least once every some time period (for example - one day)- the records might not changed (only the date in the record), and the sign will change (now the sign is on later date).
When entity reads information, he can verify that the data is authentic and was true for (in the example) at most one day before. If the date of the returned record is older than one day, than it should not be considered.
You can change the frequency of the periodic updates according to your needs. For this option you can use MAC instead of signatures as well (to improve efficiency).

*You can try another strategy: You cannot validate the completeness of every update, but you can try to catch the untrusted storage if it tries to lie! You can do it by scheduling updates and query for them.
Last thing - You wrote:

As there is no direct sidechannel between TA and TB, there is no way
  to exchange the current version. Is there a way to circumvent this?

I believe you meant communication channel. Side-channel is something else. If it was me, I would just create such communication channel to solve the problem. And by the way, similarly to the first option I describe, you can create such a channel:
Create a table of messages from the different entities where they announce about the important changes they did and sign about them with the date of the change:
Entity | Changes | Date | Signature (or MAC)
Like in the first option every entity must add such a message once every some predefined time period - and you have trusted communication channel between the entities.

A: This problem is not fully solvable without dummy records:
Let's call the state when the current version is version 3 "state 3", and the state when the current version is version 4 "state 4". No matter how you sign these states - as long as the attacker is telling you "state 3 is the current one" (showing you the entire database as it was during state 3), you can't know if this is true or if state 4 exists in the meantime.
Thus, you will have to periodically sign "no change" updates. You won't be able to avoid the signing overhead, but you don't have to store all of these. You make a separate "lastupdate" table:
 Signer | Last | Timestamp | Signature
  TA    |  4   | 2013-1... | (TA;4;2013-1...)_TA
  TB    |  3   | 2013-1... | (TB;3;2013-1...)_TB

meaning "Signer TA confirms that as of 2013-1..., the last version sent by me was 4".
If the storage provider cannot show you a current confirmation from all signers that they didn't issue a newer version, you have to assume that he is hiding something (or something broke - either way, the data is not up to date). Any new signed statement replaces the older ones from that signer, because they are irrelevant now.
Now, if you don't have just one versioned "thing", but a large number of them, you don't necessarily have to have one such dummy log per "thing". For example, you could calculate a hash (or hash tree) over all the most current lines by your signer (e.g. "Thing A, Version 3. Thing B, Version 7. Thing C, Version 2.") and then just put the hash or the root of the hash tree in the lastupdate table.
If you really want to avoid additional signatures, and some things get updated all the time, you could include the hash and timestamp in the signatures of the version records you sign - the most current signed record would then be sufficient proof for freshness, and if it were too old, you could still use the "lastupdate" table. This is not worth the complexity, IMHO.

ALEXANDRE LEMILLE: CIRCULAR ECONOMY 2.0
Your Public Value
Alexandre Lemille, founder and managing director of Wizeimpact, explains what circular economy 2.0 is, and how our global economic system could be changed to address the well-being of all on the planet.
Listen to the podcast:
http://yourpublicvalue.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/podcast-alexandre-lemille-2.m4a
Highlights of our conversation:
Public value means playing in a new field, where business, society, and the environment are fully embedded and function together. It also means going away from our current system, how we are organised and governed.
With the circular economy, we can now invest in a new economy that focuses on a regenerative system. The underlying assumption of the circular economy is no longer to operate with revenues against services, but to rely on the stock already existing to increase the resilience of a given company, and also manage the stock coming back to this given company. Circular economy is about best avoiding future risks by responsibly managing stocks. Stocks here are biological, technological, or knowledge. There is an urgent need to discuss this approach at systemic level if we want to help our planet.
Lemille's work on circular economy 2.0 is about skills and knowledge. Although these are intangible resources, they are key to the success of circular economy.
Waste and waste management are linear concepts. Once a product is consumed, it becomes waste and has to be managed. In a circular economy, the concept of waste no longer exists. Products are designed in such a way that they become "accessible" and have a specific function before they return to the service provider and are offered to someone else. All unused resources are seen as highly valuable. Just like there is no waste in a forest, where everything is being reused.
Recycling is also a linear concept as it destroys material and needs a lot of energy. It is far more efficient to reuse, not necessarily recycle. The various loops in circular economy (reusing; maintaining and repairing; redistributing; and remanufacturing) are the ones creating value to society.
The African Circular Economy network is active in 29 countries to find innovative approaches that would boost circular economy on the African continent and lead by example at global level. This could also represent an opportunity for Europe if partnerships are maintained with such economic model. The African continent could become a leader in a global circular economy.
Back to a human scale
Circular economy 2.0 includes the human sphere and addresses both inequality and environmental challenges. Economy is a tool that is meant to optimise the well-being of people on this planet. We apply the circular economy concept (no waste) to society and believe that there should be no inequality nor poverty. Our planet has vast biological, human, and technological stocks that are interconnected and could be used for our well-being. These are endless flows of energy that need to be considered differently to welcome our growing population.
In other words, the challenge is to re-design an economy at human scale. This would be an economy that would be low energy, low tech, based on well-being and back at human scale. Artificial intelligence and new technologies are needed. But so is the value of people who could play an even more active role in the next model. This means letting go the growth belief.
To change the current economic model, a fundamental reform of our tax system is needed, increasing taxes on scarce resources and removing a certain amount of labour taxes. A circular economy 2.0 should be designed at systemic level, taking into account the interconnectiveness of the existing stocks [biological, human, and technological]. Corporates should play a key role as they have the most impact, but the economic re-design must be achieved by regulators, just as New Zealand did by adopting a well-being budget.
Success will come if the starting point lies in peoples' needs. The next economic model will no longer be product-based, but service-based. It will be a long-term economy –a 'being economy', instead of a 'having economy'- with less pressure on the economic return and where relationships will become one of the most valuable resources.

Internal culture encompasses the personality of your credit union – what you collectively value, how you do things, your commonly held beliefs and expectations. It manifests itself everywhere: in how your employees treat one another, the care they take in performing their jobs, and the way they treat your members.
An organization's senior leadership is directly responsible for defining its culture and typically has a significant influence on the organization's culture- but remember that culture also reflects the collective mindset of employees. When your employees understand and embrace your organization's culture, it translates into a better and more consistent member experience. Consistently good experiences build trust and loyalty, which in turn build business.

Q: rest_framework_mongoengine yields the "Invalid data. Expected a dictionary, but got str." exception I've been playing around with the mongoengine framework and came across the above mentioned exception. Seems like I'm missing something and that's what I would like to clarify, hopefully with your help.
Here is my MSV:
models.py
import mongoengine

class PersonAddressModel(mongoengine.DynamicEmbeddedDocument):
    country = mongoengine.fields.StringField()

    age = mongoengine.fields.IntField()
    is_married = mongoengine.fields.BooleanField()
    address = mongoengine.fields.MapField(
        mongoengine.fields.EmbeddedDocumentField(
            PersonAddressModel
        )
    )

serializers.py
from rest_framework_mongoengine import serializers
from .models import PersonInfoModel, PersonAddressModel

class PersonAddressSerializer(serializers.EmbeddedDocumentSerializer):

    class Meta:
        model = PersonAddressModel
        fields = '__all__'

class PersonInfoSerializer(serializers.DocumentSerializer):

    def create(self, validated_data):
        return PersonInfoModel.objects.create(**validated_data)

    class Meta:
        model = PersonInfoModel
        fields = '__all__'

views.py
from rest_framework_mongoengine import viewsets
from .serializers import PersonInfoSerializer
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework import status
import djongo

class PersonInfoView(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    lookup_field = 'id'
    serializer_class = PersonInfoSerializer

    def create(self, request):
        serializer = self.serializer_class(data=request.data)

        try:
            serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)
            serializer.save()
        except djongo.sql2mongo.SQLDecodeError:
            return Response(
                status=status.HTTP_503_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE
            )

        return Response(
            status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED
        )

Here is the json object I'm trying to post:
{
    "name": "John",
    "age": 20,
    "is_married": false,
    "address": {
        "country": "Canada",
        "town": "Toronto"
    }
}

But it doesn't work, what am I failing to understand about all this?

Welcome to the first ever Polish website dedicated to space design and breakthrough (alternative) technology watches of the XXth century. The content is focused on presenting detailed information about collectible timepieces of the 1950-1970's including technical aspects, servicing hints and an additional average price reference. Many servicing descriptions are shown for the first time on the internet to preserve lost knowledge about old forgotten watches.
The website is an upgrade of the 2005 edition and will be under constant construction as I grow my collection.
Browse my galleries and read interesting bits... feel free to use this website as a source of knowledge. It has been created by a collector for everybody to use. I hope that you will find it interesting and different from other sites. In many fields it is still the first ever website showing so many indepth technical details of vintage forgotten spacedesign watches. Enjoy!
