Camiel and the Rurals

Two of the most amazing bands that I have discovered this summer of 2014 are the Dutch band Camiel and the Rurals.  great chill music. but just get a quick pick of their skills.

Sigueme from Camiel is a song in a spanish monologue that actually has a very soft touch. Very mellow what a great tune.

and the Rurals are another great band ... their single "a little something is a nice thing"

and if you want it ..... you got it.

Chris Malinchak.. If U got it.

The Third Industrial Revolution

 Here is a great article about something that might be disruptive. But yet to see if it happens.

Towards a third dimension

The old way of making things involved taking lots of parts and screwing or welding them together. Now a product can be designed on a computer and “printed” on a 3D printer, which creates a solid object by building up successive layers of material. The digital design can be tweaked with a few mouseclicks. The 3D printer can run unattended, and can make many things which are too complex for a traditional factory to handle. In time, these amazing machines may be able to make almost anything, anywhere—from your garage to an African village.

The applications of 3D printing are especially mind-boggling. Already, hearing aids and high-tech parts of military jets are being printed in customised shapes. The geography of supply chains will change. An engineer working in the middle of a desert who finds he lacks a certain tool no longer has to have it delivered from the nearest city. He can simply download the design and print it. The days when projects ground to a halt for want of a piece of kit, or when customers complained that they could no longer find spare parts for things they had bought, will one day seem quaint.

Other changes are nearly as momentous. New materials are lighter, stronger and more durable than the old ones. Carbon fibre is replacing steel and aluminium in products ranging from aeroplanes to mountain bikes. New techniques let engineers shape objects at a tiny scale. Nanotechnology is giving products enhanced features, such as bandages that help heal cuts, engines that run more efficiently and crockery that cleans more easily. Genetically engineered viruses are being developed to make items such as batteries. And with the internet allowing ever more designers to collaborate on new products, the barriers to entry are falling. Ford needed heaps of capital to build his colossal River Rouge factory; his modern equivalent can start with little besides a laptop and a hunger to invent.

Like all revolutions, this one will be disruptive. Digital technology has already rocked the media and retailing industries, just as cotton mills crushed hand looms and the Model T put farriers out of work. Many people will look at the factories of the future and shudder. They will not be full of grimy machines manned by men in oily overalls. Many will be squeaky clean—and almost deserted. Some carmakers already produce twice as many vehicles per employee as they did only a decade or so ago. Most jobs will not be on the factory floor but in the offices nearby, which will be full of designers, engineers, IT specialists, logistics experts, marketing staff and other professionals. The manufacturing jobs of the future will require more skills. Many dull, repetitive tasks will become obsolete: you no longer need riveters when a product has no rivets.

The revolution will affect not only how things are made, but where. Factories used to move to low-wage countries to curb labour costs. But labour costs are growing less and less important: a $499 first-generation iPad included only about $33 of manufacturing labour, of which the final assembly in China accounted for just $8. Offshore production is increasingly moving back to rich countries not because Chinese wages are rising, but because companies now want to be closer to their customers so that they can respond more quickly to changes in demand. And some products are so sophisticated that it helps to have the people who design them and the people who make them in the same place. The Boston Consulting Group reckons that in areas such as transport, computers, fabricated metals and machinery, 10-30% of the goods that America now imports from China could be made at home by 2020, boosting American output by $20 billion-55 billion a year.

The shock of the new

Consumers will have little difficulty adapting to the new age of better products, swiftly delivered. Governments, however, may find it harder. Their instinct is to protect industries and companies that already exist, not the upstarts that would destroy them. They shower old factories with subsidies and bully bosses who want to move production abroad. They spend billions backing the new technologies which they, in their wisdom, think will prevail. And they cling to a romantic belief that manufacturing is superior to services, let alone finance.

None of this makes sense. The lines between manufacturing and services are blurring. Rolls-Royce no longer sells jet engines; it sells the hours that each engine is actually thrusting an aeroplane through the sky. Governments have always been lousy at picking winners, and they are likely to become more so, as legions of entrepreneurs and tinkerers swap designs online, turn them into products at home and market them globally from a garage. As the revolution rages, governments should stick to the basics: better schools for a skilled workforce, clear rules and a level playing field for enterprises of all kinds. Leave the rest to the revolutionaries.

33 Resilient Cities Announced by Rockefeller Foundation

24 years for Argentina for a World Cup Final, 10 years of preparation for Germany. And the time really flies.

the German goal and the argentinian side


memories and more to have a feeling.

with another world cup final with another world champion this time Germany, facing how we  sometimes are young at some point and then with just a blink you find yourself older with all your youth gone away and no more the same fit body and no more  the dreams you once had and once you wish to had. Life moves on and everything you want to do you have to try your best,  cause even if you don`t succedd you will move on to know that you tried your best. Winning is the result of  preparation,  hard work, strategy and constantly trying to refine your performance. You cannot discourage yourself from failure, if you tried your best you have to rethink if you tried really in the best possible manner and if you really made  everything possible in the best possible way.

Life goes so quickly, that one day you are a kid  and the next you are an adult with all responsibilities.

Don`t wait for tomorrow , because when you realize is already tomorrow.


the selfie side

and what about some great Brazilian music, beatiful Brazilian beaches, a vivid culture and a much more than a football nation is what Brazil is, this world cup leaves a hint that a society first has to focus on their social problems and then success will come but also that being who you are with true soul is the best way to keep being the best. Enjoy the Brazilian music. 




and a little bit more to go back to routine, to work, to pay bills, after living just another event that makes us feel alive know that time just go forward.
