The monument as an excuse

-
Mon u ment - A memorial or a repository of a notion that withstood the test of time. Monuments make the past active by creating a symbol that continues in time. It is a legend to follow and direct, both in principle and purpose. The term opposes time as much as it represents it. It is known for significance, survival, rarity, representation, and narrative. From statues to boundaries, monuments are marked in space and time, accommodating and expressing it simultaneously.    
 
1. A structure that lacks size but has significance - something erected in memory of a person, event, etc., as a building, pillar, or statue
2. A structure that has survived - any building, megalith, etc., surviving from a past age, and regarded as of historical or archaeological importance.
3. A structure that is rare - any enduring evidence or notable example of something: a monument to human ingenuity.
4. A structure of ideas that best represents - an exemplar, model, or personification of some abstract quality, esp. when considered to be beyond question: a monument of middle-class respectability.
5. A place - an area or a site of interest to the public for its historical significance, great natural beauty, etc., preserved and maintained by a government.
6. An account -  a written tribute to a person, esp. a posthumous one.
7. An object -  as a stone shaft, set in the ground to mark the boundaries of real estate
8. A person - considered as a heroic figure or of heroic proportions

Swifties vs Ticketmaster

 Swifties vs Ticketmaster  The un-suspecting Swifties had a moment as they experienced the destructive power of a live event and ticketing monopoly firsthand. Eager to procure pre-sale tickets for a live-event staged by one of the most loved and followed musicians of our time, Swifties were let down in millions.  Swifties are sharp, smart and skilled social media stalwarts. They are die-hard loyalists and amazingly knit together. They can hate as much as they can love.  Source:  https://www.reddit.com/r/TaylorSwift/comments/bhd5ko/taylor_swifties_4eva/ Endless e-queues that started at midnight, followed by  sky-high ticket prices for group bookings were just the beginning. Triggering a similar reaction, just like the one in America.  Swifties and the swift mindset are wreaking havoc against a lesser felt monopoly.  Legions  of new anti-monopolists are being birthed through out SE-Asia.    No creative work is complete. Creativity wins when people give in. Look at a creative in any field

IN YOUTH WE HOPE & IN AGE WE EXPECT  across the multiple sporting events and initiatives unfolding across the world these days, there is one consistent thread. the world is getting ready to welcome a new set of champions. At the Australian open, in the winter olympics, in the U23 AFC, or the under 19 world cup of cricket a new bunch of athletes are taking centre-stage. A new crop of countries are producing the latest champions. A whole new sports culture is emerging from kids coming from mixed families. What is surprising is ... the reputation these kids come with.  The future is interesting because it looks different from the present. Countries often invest in future sports initiatives to avoid the mistakes of the past. investments are made, foreign coaches are sought, facilities are improved and diets are changed only to place an athlete on a podium.  Today development and training has followers. Even before these athletes start achieving, they develop huge fanbases. If in

BARD still BARF

So Bard is made available to simpletons. So I asked Bard to write a post on what happens if a smart person would use Linkedin and Airbnb as a merged platform ... draft 1 was crap ... here is draft 2 and draft 3 which were same as draft 1 LinkedIn and Airbnb are two of the most popular online platforms in the world. LinkedIn is a social networking site for professionals, while Airbnb is a home-sharing platform. While these two platforms may seem unrelated at first, there are actually a number of ways that they can be combined to create new and innovative experiences. One way to combine LinkedIn and Airbnb is to use LinkedIn to find potential hosts for your Airbnb listing. When you're looking for a place to stay, it's always a good idea to choose a host who is trustworthy and reliable. LinkedIn can be a great way to vet potential hosts, as you can see their work history, education, and other professional information. This information can give you a good sense of who the host i
