Done in three days in Joshua National Park (USA)...Pluie de Météorites des Perséïdes.

The Perseids is the name of a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids are so-called because the point they appear to come from, called the radiant, lies in the constellation Perseus.

Really looks like the nervous system in the human body (a bit "chaotic" too)

"One month (October 2009) of traffic information (1534 vehicles) is condensed in a 24h day. The arteries are colored in a away capable to represent average traffic speeds (the greenish and cooler represents high traffic velocity, and the reddish and hotter, corresponds to sluggish traffic). There is a visual emphasis on areas where the traffic is predominantly slow."

David Terrar and Dennis Howlett on Enterprise 2.0.
Yes it is obvious that social media and enterprise have not met each other. Few early adopters (Coca-cola, Dell, StarBuck,...) have experimented social tools in the marketing area, others as a kind of social intranet (IBM,NASA,...) but the all in one Enterprise 2.0 (= a social platform with bottomup stream of information, integrating providers and customers voices to deliver the best "social service" to one customers' community) is not born.
Is it an utopy? is it a good medicine against crisis mood ? In my point of view the 20ie century pattern for enterprise had to change. Why?
- because of Information Technology. The enterprise cannot resist to the pression of customers' information nor to providers' information. This is a fact.
- what about the employees: they are best informed than their leaders! This is also a fact.
If Dennis Howlett is very sceptical with "enterprise 2.0" buzz, what about Enterprise Y ?

Apart of the flagrant desiquilibrium existing in the Europe Union, between the top contributing countries and the remaining countries, apart of the constantely growing european bureaucraty contrasting with stagnant democraty, I think urgent to try to understand why Euro currency is so high against the USD despite low interest rate and deep recession.

One expert assets investor told me in 2006 he did'nt understand exchange markets, all the indicators were pointed to a situation which never happened. Now, after reading Financial systems and terrorism expert Loretta Napoleoni, I wonder myself if we maybe underestimate the the phenomenon of economic interdependence after September 11th, 2001.

As Loretta Napoleoni told us:
1- "...the Patriot Act, which was a piece of legislation aimed at blocking the funding to terrorist organisations, eventually created a terrible and detrimental situation in other Countries, in this case Europe as a whole, turning Europe into the money laundering capital of the world, all of this between September 11 and now..."
2- "...Many of the problems that you have heard about regarding the banks are precisely linked to deregulation, to the lack of legislation and to the fact that the banks were granted high levels of freedom with very little control by the State.
What happens with deregulation? In essence, it amounts to the removal of financial barriers and the removal of financial legislation and the controls between two countries. But who has benefited from this?...From the mid-sixties through to 2001, a certain amount of new money, namely the bills printed annually by the Federal Reserve, was illegally taken out of circulation in America in suitcases or cardboard boxes that left the country in the form of boxes required for removals, etc, illegally in other words, and this money went towards satisfying the demand for cash, not only from criminal elements, but also from terrorist organisations and various other sectors of the underground economy..."
3- "...the Patriot Act was only introduced in the United States and is only applicable to the Dollar, so it has totally revolutionised the cash flows of the legal economy and the underground economy alike...no one wanted any Patriot Act introduced in another country that would enable outsiders to scrutinise any dealings between a bank and its customers...the international banks advised their customers to abandon the Dollar Zone and switch to the Euro. The Euro was the new European currency that had just recently come into circulation, so it offered numerous opportunities and, above all, Europe did not have any legislation similar to the Patriot Act and indeed there were tax havens in existence in Europe that worked very well, with no one checking up on anything..."
5- "... this money laundering is occurring via the real estate sector and it is thus very difficult to control because, for example, the Deeds Registry Office on the Costa del Sol has no way of communicating with the Deeds Registry Office in London, so they will never know whether the same company is busy making purchases in various locations in Europe, either simultaneously or at different times and, furthermore, there is no system in place to monitor the financial and cash transactions in Euro that may be taking place across European borders, there is no such thing!"

Europe has become the money laundering capital of the world. This is one more aspect we have to take in account as we think about Europe Union as the only mean to maintain peace and economic development in the old Western Continent.

Do you think Europe Union free market is good for Europeans?
