Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons (or simply Commons) is an online repository of free-use images, sound, and other media files. It is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Files from Wikimedia Commons can be used across all Wikimedia projects in all languages, including Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikivoyage, Wikispecies, Wikisource, and Wikinews, or downloaded for offsite use. The repository contains over 30 million media files. In July 2013, the number of edits on Commons reached 100,000,000.

History

The project was proposed by Erik Möller in March 2004 and launched on September 7, 2004. A key motivation behind the setup of a central repository was the desire to reduce duplication of effort across the Wikimedia projects and languages, as the same file had to be uploaded to many different wikis separately before Commons was created.

Several sister projects (e.g. Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Spanish, Basque, Polish, Czech and Slovak Wikipedias) moved all their media content to Commons and stopped allowing local uploading. Some projects, such as the English Wikipedia, have more compliant copyright policy and allow to upload and keep files which are not acceptable at Commons, e.g. fair use images.

Living Architecture

Living Architecture is a not-for-profit holiday home rental company in the UK. It was founded by philosopher and writer Alain de Botton, who launched the scheme in 2010 as the first programme of its kind. Each holiday home has been uniquely designed by a world-renowned architecture practice and is available to rent out by the general public throughout the year.

The houses include:

In 2012 Living Architecture is collaborating with cultural organisation Artangel, for a temporary room which will sit on top of the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London's South Bank. The commission is launching as part of the London 2012 Festival and is being deisgned by David Kohn Architects and artist Fiona Banner.

Don Edward Beck

Don Edward Beck is a teacher, geopolitical advisor, and theorist focusing on applications of large scale psychology, including social psychology, evolutionary psychology, organizational psychology and their effect on human sociocultural systems. He is the co-author of the "Spiral Dynamics" theory, an evolutionary human development model. He spent many years adapting the work of his mentor and colleague, developmental psychologist Clare W. Graves, Professor Emeritus in Psychology at Union College in New York.

Theory development

Beck first met Graves in 1975 and worked with him closely until his death in 1986. Graves had published his theory of human development in 1974, a "bio-psycho-social systems" framework of value systems as applied to human sociocultural evolution which posits that the psychology of the mature human being transitions from a current level of cultural existence based on current life conditions to a more complex level in response to (or cope with) changes in existential reality. Graves's model demonstrates the dual nature human social emergence with change states between communal/collective value systems (sacrifice self) and individualistic (express self) value systems.
