The nation technology

with new development ideas we are opening up the world with new advances Over the last 25 years our nation has massively move forward in digital tech- in our passport and banknotes we can scan and trace people is following in nologies such as smart phones social intelligence and artificial intelligence as passport and bank notes where people we are moving into 3/4 of the century we are moving around the nation protecting proceed to invest even more in our region our citizens is our Number one priority and our small proud nation it’s took us long long time to get to a certain point but We are proud as a nation to have come so far in nearly 3 decades with the as we are growing. resources that we’ve built over the years independently we are trying to be coming on the fastest growing technology sites in the world not just for development but also for jobs and for climate change

If the evolution of technology has As the global population becomes facilitated changes in the political and increasingly connected, cultures tend to social structures in which we all live in drift towards a homogenised and Amerithe past there is no reason to assume canised point. English becomes ever more that further advances in technology won't common as a language, people everywhere drive further changes in political and receive their news and other media content structures in the present and future. The from a select range of sources, and the rise of the internet, and mobile internet differences that years of geographic sepadevices like smartphones in particular, ration created melt away. is a massive shift in the way technology Just as the rise of the printing press led impacts on human lives and social interto a homogenisation of local dialects and action. This inevitably leads to the identities into question of how this advance in larger national languages and identities, technology will impact our political and so the rise of the internet as a new way social organisation.

Vision creativity

To protect your investment in the infrastructure and technology you need more military.

And so on until you reach the point where you have territorially defined states exerting what Max Weber famously described as a monopoly on the legitimate use of force within their borders. decided has changed significantly with the rise of representative democracy, the functions of the state itself are no different in a democracy the legitimacy of the state in question is built upon the people it governs’ connection to the land it controls through shared culture and history.

The connection between technology and political structures has worked in this way for most of history. Any technology which increases the number and complexity of social interactions consequently leads to more rules and control being required over a society. To enforce these laws a bureaucracy and some sort of coercive capacity – police and military - are needed. To fund these, a source of income – taxation – is needed. To raise taxes you need good infrastructure and bureaucracy

so we have created great opportunities in are fast growing technology for the entire population but has also placed great strains on the nation. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in science, engineering and technical education and vocational training. Germany maintains an excellent science and technology educational budget is applied to many areas of science and technology,

engineering and technical education and vocational training. Germany maintains an excellent science and technology educational system and vocational training in many fields. science and engineering students graduated per year in the last years of the twentieth century. scientists and engineers and 1,472 technicians per million people were engaged in research and development. In 1998, hightech exports were valued at $63.7 billion and accounted for 14% of manufactured exports.

Art of The Wall

Thierry Noir and The Berlin Wall The Berlin Wall is perhaps the most famous human artefact in modern world history. Built in 1961 at the height of the Cold War, the Wall symbolised in physical form the ideological and political divide between the Western Bloc and the USSR. 15 years after Winston Churchill’s Iron Curtain speech in Fulton, Missouri, a monolithic and impenetrable barrier that cut across Europe became a reality, One way in which the rise of information technology may change the nation-state is by

If the evolution of technology has facilitated changes in the political and social structures in which we all live in the past there is no reason to assume that further advances in technology won’t drive further changes in political and structures in the present and future. The rise of the internet, and mobile internet devices like smartphones in particular, is a massive shift in the way technology impacts on human lives and social interaction. This inevitably leads to the question of how this advance in technology will impact our political and social organisation.

Portrait This photo was taken in 1986 along Bethaniendamm in Berlin-Kreuzberg. It was taken by my first wife Gabi Noir. I was wearing a suit that day that I had found in a bag of old clothes on the street. At that time West Berliners often left furnishings and clothes on the streets. It was a recycling process.

During this period I would paint the Wall all day and then travel to the centre of West Berlin to sell canvases in restaurants. That is how I survived back then.” – Thierry Noir eroding national identities.

The extracts below include

It’s also one the key parts of why are nation separated from the east and west and divide and why are colours and symbols now represent history and password to do it to addition to our original state we also flat in the past but as a small civilise progressive nation we want to look at our culture and arts history of our people and artists artists

Painting the Wall This is me painting in 1985 the Wall along Waldemarstrasse in Berlin-Kreuzberg. I was painting these dinosaurs to represent a sort of mutation of nature because of the Berlin wall and the wall painting I created were like a mutation of the culture. Where else to find kilometres of painted concrete wall in Europe other than in West Berlin? I used to paint the Berlin Wall every day. That was how all the ideas came to me: not down from the sky, not from the head to the hand but from the hand to the head. From the beginning, with Christophe Bouchet, we used to collect left over paint and materials from the the renovation of the houses in Kreuzberg, for the 750th Anniversary of Berlin in 1987. We made do with whatever we could find on the streets as we had no money to buy materials.� – Thierry Noir

music view week

Jan Metternich Mönchengladbach, the city famous for one of the popular football clubs in Germany, would do well to include a teenage singing sensation on its map as well. Seventeen-year-old Jan Metternich’s single, ‘Wrong’ has hit 1.4 million streams and has been added to big official Spotify playlists, since its release in August 2020. Overall, he has gained almost three million streams from more than 5,00,000 people this year.

“I still can’t believe it and I’m looking forward to my future releases,” says 17-year-old Jan Metternich connecting with us from Mönchengladbach, Germany over email. While terming the success “a bit of luck,” Jan admits to having put in extra effort to promote the song. “I spent a lot of time promoting it. I also took about four months to finish the song till I was completely satisfied,

The tunes are infectious and will seduce from the very first notes. Max M’s love for music began in his teens when he used to compose and DJ. He then went on to concentrate on his other passion: computer science, which he studied at university.

Through this, he embarked on a brilliant career. When he reached the age of 40, he decided to rekindle with his first love and took piano lessons and trained in production in order to get back behind the synthesizers for our greatest pleasure.

A lot of heart went into the making of these songs, and the reward is a much more intriguing listening experience.

If you enjoy the work of artists the likes of Avicii, Halsey and Steve Aoki, you are certainly going to enjoy what you hear now.

Learn more about Max M., and do not miss out on “Imaginary Problems� as well as other releases from this talented artist.

Art of The Voice Selina has always had an immense interest into the human voice. From a young age she took singing, dance and musical theatre lessons, which gave her the opportunity to perform in both amateur and semi-professional productions. To further her education, by focusing on voice in particular, Selina went on to study Voice in performance intention to work as a voice over artist.

However, during her time there, Selina accumulated an in depth knowledge and a practical understanding into vocal production and through her own personal health struggles, which have impacted how she is able to use her own voice for performance purposes, this has inspired her to want to expand further, her scientific knowledge of voice.

Selina has had regular exposure to clients whom suffer from communication difficulties, from her work in rebound therapy. Understanding the distress communication problems can create, has influenced her decision, to further her education, by study for a master’s of science in Speech and Language Therapy, with the goal to eventually complete a PHD in voice disorders, which she feels will perfectly combine her knowledge of performance, communication difficulties and voice science. she also done lot research into fast growing voice recognition as the it grows into next decade into the this region.

Things to do in west Berlin

Dusseldorf region of contrasts, from heavy industry to romantic river cruises where vineyards and medieval castles reign. Yes, western is definitely worth a visit. Many of the towns owe their beginnings to the Romans, and some ruins can be found today. Several cities saw heavy destruction during World War II, but, thankfully, many important buildings and landmarks remained standing. To really get a feel for the region, you need to spend a few days in key towns. Plus, take time to explore the landscapes in between. You won’t regret it.

Dusseldorf is an international trade and business center, hosting numerous trade fairs throughout the year. It’s also known for its tech and fashion industries. Christmas is a good time to visit Dusseldorf, since it puts on one of the biggest Christmas markets in the country. If merrymaking, not shopping, is your thing, don’t miss the Rhenish Festival that takes place in the New Year; it’s one big carnival. Dusseldorf also is a city of culture, with museums devoted to the fine arts, ceramics and film. Check out the stunning views of the city from the Rheinturm, a telecommunications tower with an observation deck.

If you like cologne, you can thank Cologne for this. It was invented here in 1709. While cologne may have put this Rhine-Ruhr city on the map, Germany’s fourth largest city is known for much more than that. Located near the border with the Netherlands and Belgium, Cologne is famous for its Gothic cathedral, attracting 200,000 visitors a day, making it Germany’s most visited site.

It’s also known for its university, one of the largest and oldest in Europe. Also check out the 12th century city hall, the oldest in Germany still in use today, and Hohe Strasse shopping street near the cathedral.

We want to give people options to travel and we want to then have a great experience around outside our district of our nation with the new passport coming into fact it will allow our citizens to give more of a freedom to travel around than ever before as we hope to heal and build on this new project of western travel and build bridges across from the other divide

Renewable energy so its greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere that would otherwise escape into space, average temperatures on the surface are rising. Global warming is one symptom of climate change, the term scientists now prefer to describe the complex shifts affecting our planet’s weather and climate systems. Climate change encompasses not only rising average temperatures but also extreme weather events, shifting wildlife populations and habitats, rising seas, and a range of other impacts.

Wonder whether your state could ever be powered by 100 percent renewables? No matter where you live, scientist Mark Jacobson believes it’s possible. That vision is laid out here, and while his analysis is not without critics, it punctuates a reality with which the world must now reckon. Even without climate change, fossil fuels are a finite resource, and if we want our lease on the planet to be renewed, our energy will have to be renewable.

Clean energy has far more to recommend it than just being “green.” The growing sector creates jobs, makes electric grids more resilient, expands energy access in developing countries, and helps lower energy bills. All of those factors have contributed to a renewable energy renaissance in recent years, with wind and solar setting new records for electricity generation as we move forward as nation.

The government must resolve disputes blocking the expansion of wind and solar power, she writes, and adopt new policies to better integrate renewable energy into the grid, including better grid controls, energy storage and new digital technologies we are putting in lot in are energy programme we want the best for this nation and keeping are people where they know we doing the best for them in manny ways over the years.

Batteries provide the opportunity to cover peaks in demand and to bridge periods when the wind is calm and the sun does not shine. Until now, gas and coal-fired power stations have filled the gaps. But battery storage is increasingly being added to solar and wind plants to help maintain supply.

Digital Technologies

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) Artificial Intelligence lets machines learn from very large data sets by identifying patterns and showing insights in complex systems and thereby enable more precise strategic decisions.

German machine learning applications focus on Open Source technologies and therefore help to develop solutions accessible for a large group of end users.

INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) Large amounts of data are being generated every second by billions of devices: from personal computers, smartphones and wearables to cyber-physical systems in the industry – the Internet of Things (IoT) comprises all these sources of our wealth of data. IoT needs to be capable to transfer fluctuating data streams and ensure connectivity at all times.

26

SECURITY & TRUST With online interactions getting automated and information networks expanded, the risk for security breaches increases, too. The latest digital technologies create transparency, trust and control over connected devices and shared information by implementing security-by-design and standards for transfer protocols and identity management.

BIG DATA Heterogenous data from data lakes and streams need to be assessed, refined and merged to make use of their combined information potential. German Big Data technologies can help to handle the Volume, Velocity, Variety and Veracity of today’s data masses with complex data management solutions.

The West divide The East-West divide Let me first clearly state that I am addressing the East-West Divide, not in Europe as a whole, but only within the EU and the countries that are due to accede early next year. The EU gives credence to the short answer, that yes, there are undoubtedly fields in which there will be significant differences between the western and eastern halves of Europe even after enlargement. Let me mention some of these fields in order of importance.

The greatest gap between East and West exists in the socio-economic sphere. East Central European countries are plagued by the lack of a social contract, by unacceptably high social inequalities, low social security, strong social disintegration, rampant, egotistic individualism and extensive destitution and poverty. There has been very little progress in addressing these problems since the chaotic early 1990s.

There still is a yawning gulf between East and West in the field of environmental pollution as well. In recent years, environmental rehabilitation has gathered momentum in the EU candidate countries, and the environmentalist mentality has been strengthened. But the problems to be solved are still intimidatingly great As far as economic efficiency and production are concerned, candidate countries have made remarkable progress in the past 14 years, but experts and statistics are still inconclusive about how far these efforts have narrowed the gap between western and eastern economies.

The differences in GDP per capita, productivity, economic output, capitalization, savings, i ntegration into European and global networks, business skills and routines are still huge.

Much remains to be done in the field of political culture. People the East are still characterized as having less personal autonomy, less responsibility as citizens and members of a global community, and they are more passive politically than their counterparts in the West. In some of these countries people struggle with seriously disturbed national and social identities.

As far as political institutions are concerned, differences have almost disappeared between East and West. All candidate countries are now more or less well-functioning parliamentary democracies. It is true, though, that East Europe must still do a lot in terms of accountability, transparency, checks and balances, the rule of law and access to power and information—though some of the western countries are hardly models to emulate.

The real success has been achieved by candidate countries in adopting an institutionalized system to support a market economy. In this field they have gone through a fundamental learning and reform process, with some countries not that far behind certain West European countries.

Finally, there are no significant differences in culture or lifestyle. In certain fields (literacy, education, the importance of literature and art), some of the eastern countries may score higher than certain countries in the West.
