“There is one key area in which Zuma has made no attempt at reconciliation whatsoever: criminal justice and security. The ministers of justice, defence, intelligence (now called "state security" in a throwback to both apartheid and the ANC's old Stalinist past), police and communications are all die-hard Zuma loyalists. Whatever their line functions, they will also play the role they have played so ably to date: keeping Zuma out of court - and making sure the state serves Zuma as it once did Mbeki.” MadeHardStatesPlayPastDiesLinesJusticeRolesSecurityCommunicationKeysAreasFunctionPoliceCourtCriminalsMinistersReconciliationDefenceApartheidCriminal JusticeThrowbackLoyalistsZuma Author:Mark Gevisser
“I'm interested in the murky areas where there are no clear answers - or sometimes multiple answers. It's here that I try to imagine patterns or codes to make sense of the unknowns that keep us up at night. I'm also interested in the invisible space between people in communication; the space guided by translation and misinterpretation.” PeopleTryingSometimesNightSpaceAnswersClearImagineCommunicationAreasPatternsInvisibleMake SenseCodeMultipleTranslationsSpace BetweenMisinterpretation Author:Taryn Simon
“For all the advances in technology, science and communications, there are signs that we are failing in areas where it matters most: our personal relationships and society in general. The atomisation of society evidenced by the startling increase in recent decades of single person households and the identification of loneliness and isolation as one of our most pressing new social problems, should give us cause for concern.” GivingShouldPersonsMatterProblemSocialCausesTechnologyFailingLonelinessCommunicationAreasConcernIncreaseDecadesIsolationHouseholdIdentificationSingle PersonPersonal RelationshipsSocial Problems Author:Cory Bernardi
“We should not be living in human communities that enclose tiny preserved ecosystems within them. Human communities should be maintained in small population enclaves within linked wilderness ecosystems. No human community should be larger than 20,000 people and separated from other communities by wilderness areas. Communication systems can link the communities.” PeopleShouldHumansCommunityCommunicationAreasPopulationTinyWildernessLinksLinkedEcosystems Author:Paul Watson

“The fifth doorway to experiencing Love for No Reason is the Doorway of Communication, which corresponds to the energy center located in the throat area. This doorway relates to speaking and listening with compassion, rather than judgment. There are some wonderful tools and techniques available to help us speak and listen with compassion that I've included in this chapter.” ReasonHelpingEnergySpeakCompassionWonderfulCommunicationListeningJudgmentAreasToolsAvailableTechniqueRelateNo ReasonThroatChaptersFifthDoorways Author:Marci Shimoff
“By leaning on companies, by leaning on infrastructure providers, by leaning on researchers, graduate students, post-docs, even undergrads, to look at the challenges having an untrusted internet, where we have to put our communications on wires that are owned by a phone company that we can't trust, that's working in collaboration with a government that we can't trust, in areas around the world, we can restructure that communications fabric in a way that it's encrypted.” WorldWayLooksGovernmentChallengesCompanyStudentsCommunicationInternetAreasPhonesAround The WorldPostsCollaborationGraduatesFabricInfrastructureWireResearchersProvidersGraduate StudentsRestructure Author:Edward Snowden
“Spiritual models for me are the communities of Tibetans living in exile in India, or the banjars of Bali, which exist in times of difficulty, oppression. Alternative spaces-perhaps this kind of communication can take place over the Net? Probably only up to a point as the Net's controlled by the military. But the idea is to live outside multi-national, monocultural, commodification prison, outside the grey areas of power-mad, monied collusion.” KindIdeasSpiritualCommunitySpaceMilitaryCommunicationModelsAreasIndiaDifficultyMadPrisonOppressionAlternativesControlledGreyExileTibetanBaliCommodificationCollusionGrey Areas Author:Anne Waldman
“And it's absolutely true that male sexual behaviour and female responses to male demands change a lot when they start communicating - and the levels of the communication that I've seen on the ground in very, very poor areas are so high and I think why don't we have that here?” ThinkingChangePoorLevelsCommunicationDemandAreasFemaleResponseMalesCommunicateBehaviour Author:Emma Thompson
“In two areas above all others the Christian demonstration of love and communication stands clear: in the area of the Christian couple and their children; and in the personal relationships of Christians in the church. If there is no demonstration in these two places, on the personal level, the world can conclude that orthodox Christian doctrine is nothing but dead, cold words.” IfsWorldChildrenTwoGodChristianSpiritualityChurchLevelsClearCommunicationColdCoupleAreasDoctrineOrthodoxDemonstrationOrthodox ChristianPersonal RelationshipsChristian DoctrineLove And Communication Book:True Spirituality Source: True Spirituality
