Caliphate
In its earliest days, the first caliphate, the Rashidun Caliphate, exhibited elements of direct democracy (shura).[1] It was led, at first, by Muhammad's immediate disciples and family as a continuation of the religious systems he had introduced. The Sunni branch of Islam stipulates that as a head of state, a caliph should be elected by Muslims or their representatives.[2] Followers of Shia Islam, however, believe a caliph should be an Imam chosen by God (Allah) from the Ahl al-Bayt (the "Family of the House", Muhammad's direct descendents). From the end of the Rashidun period until 1924, caliphates, sometimes two at a single time, real and illusory, were ruled by dynasties. The first of these was the Umayyad dynasty, followed by the Abbasid, the Fatimid and finally the Ottoman dynasty. The caliphate was "the core leader concept of Sunni Islam, by the consensus of the Muslim majority in the early centuries".[3] History[edit] Rashidun (632–661)[edit] Rashidun Caliphate at its greatest extent

Seven Rules for Managing Creative-But-Difficult People - Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic
by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic | 3:00 PM April 2, 2013 Moody, erratic, eccentric, and arrogant? Perhaps — but you can’t just get rid of them. In fact, unless you learn to get the best out of your creative employees, you will sooner or later end up filing for bankruptcy. Conversely, if you just hire and promote people who are friendly and easy to manage, your firm will be mediocre at best. Suppressed creativity is a malign organizational tumour. 1. 2. The solution, then, is to support your creatives with colleagues who are too conventional to challenge their ideas, but unconventional enough to collaborate with them. 3. As novelist John Irving said, “the reason I can work so hard at my writing is that it’s not work for me”. 4. 5. The moral of the story? 6. 7. A final caveat: even when you are able to manage your creative employees, it does not mean that you should let them manage others.

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
Biography[edit] Rafael Lozano-Hemmer was born in Mexico City in 1967.[1] He emigrated to Canada in 1985 to study at the University of Victoria in British Columbia and then at Concordia University in Montreal.[2] The son of Mexico City nightclub owners, Mr. Lozano-Hemmer was drawn to science but could not resist joining the creative activities that his friends did.[3] Initially he worked in a molecular recognition lab in Montreal[4] and published his research in Chemistry journals,[5] a far cry from his now famous installation works that are featured around the world. Though he did not pursue the sciences as a direct career, it has influenced his work in many ways,[6] providing conceptual inspiration and practical approaches to create his work. Lozano-Hemmer is best known for creating theatrical interactive installations in public spaces across Europe, Asia and America.

net.art
net.art refers to a group of artists who have worked in the medium of Internet art since 1994. The main members of this movement are Vuk Ćosić, Jodi.org, Alexei Shulgin, Olia Lialina, and Heath Bunting (irational.org, Daniel García Andújar, Heath Bunting, Rachel Baker and Minerva Cuevas). Although this group was formed as a parody of avant garde movements by writers such as Tilman Baumgärtel, Josephine Bosma, Hans Dieter Huber and Pit Schultz, their individual works have little in common. The term "net.art" is also used as a synonym for net art or Internet art and covers a much wider range of artistic practices. In this wider definition, net.art means art that uses the Internet as its medium and that cannot be experienced in any other way. Often net.art has the Internet as (part of) its subject matter but this is not required. History of the net.art movement[edit] The net.art movement arose in the context of the wider development of Internet art. Online social networks[edit] See also[edit]
