“I see a world in the future in which we understand that all life is related to us and we treat that life with great humility and respect. I see us as well as social creatures, and when I began to look back and say, ‘what is the fundamental bottom line for us as social creatures?’…I couldn’t believe it because it seemed so hippy dippy, but it was Love. Love is the force that makes us fully human.”
– David Suzuki.
Who is David Suzuki?
David Suzuki is a television host, radio presenter, author, a geneticist, an environmentalist, and one of the most inspiring people for me as a designer-
httpv://au.youtube.com/watch?v=v3ekcwB1oAI
“We need to design communities so that the people who live in them use their cars less and have a lower impact on the environment, and a better quality of life in return.”
I cant help but feel a sense of pride as an architect and designer, that i (even on a small scale) can change the quality of life directly through design.
I first came upon the wise words of David Suzuki in ‘The 11th Hour’ a documentary on the environment, our impact on the earth and the pleading of environmentalists and activists to reverse the damage already done, hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio (no.. don’t laugh, he does a good job) –
Myself and a half dozen other design students trundled along for the first screening of the 11th hour in Melbourne a couple months back, i’m sorry to say that the main reason we went along was that we were members of an offshoot of GBCA (green building council of Australia) called ‘Future Green Leaders’ – and admission (and after movie drinks!) were free.
The first half of the ‘The 11th hour’ mercilessly depicted the atrocities of humankind and our blatant disregard for the environment – it left me feeling uncomfortably humble and quite small (metaphorically) in the grand scheme of things – suggesting that the snowballing that is the earth’s destruction is already a tumbling avalanche, and that we are not just at the 11th hour, but the time is in fact 11:59.
However, hope is offered – (thanks Leo!) though it is up to all of us as individuals to reverse the negative effect we have had on the earth.
“Yeah, we’ve heard this all before,” I hear you say, “I’ve seen already seen an inconvenient truth, we need to change our ways, the earth is in deep shit blah blah blah.”
The message has been drummed into us from environmentalist, activists and politicians for years now, however, for me, it was the visual impact of this movie that particularly spurred me into actively thinking about environmentally friendly design (and lifestyle!) and from it I have adopted heroes such as David Suzuki, who’s passion for the environment is a real inspiration.
and finally, a nice (very relevant) quote that I particularly liked –
“We’re at a point in our history, with 6.4 billion of us, that we have to imagine what it would be like to redesign design itself, see design as the first signal of human intention, and realize that we need new intentions for our future where materials are seen as things that are highly valuable and need to go in closed cycles—what we call cradle to cradle, instead of cradle to grave… So, the design itself changes from mass production of things that are essentially destructive to mass utilization of things that are inherently assets instead of liabilities”
—William McDonough, architect and designer.

모든 순차벳에서 10회 실시후 2유닛 이하의 승,
패일 경우는 그 벳에서 10회 반복거나 어느시점에서 50만원이 되면
그날은 접습니다. B 세컨이 네번 이상 붙지 않은곳에
세컨 붙이기 — 옆줄과 비슷할수도 있겠으나 말그대로 뱅이나 플이 연속쪽으로 어느하나가
세컨이 않붙었을때 세컨에 베팅합니다.
또한 특별한 이유가 없는한 모두
플레이어에 베팅하기 — 뱅커 커미션 누적되면 장난아니며 그리고 위에서 피력했듯이 100개이상의 테이블이 있는곳에서는 얼마든지 가능합니다.
뭐 위의 A,B가 아니더라도 개인이 원하는 아님 좋아하는 포지션을 이용해도
무방합니다. 단 절대 항상 매번 똑 같은 포지션만 골라서 베팅해야한다는 것 하고 절대로
베수벳이나 더블벳이 아닌 고정벳만 해야한다는것이 포인트 입니다.
어설픈 본인의 시스템이 주장하는 바는 다음과 같습니다.
이러한 점은 위의 시스템으로 똑같이 반복했을때 절대로 패가망신은 있을수 없다는 확고한 믿음이 있기
때문입니다. 아마 본인도 더 많이 해보아야 확실하겠지만 (현재 위와같이 매번 워터프로트에서 겜해본 결과 아직은 두 번째 벳까지 가지안호 첫 번째에서 승하였습니다.
그래도 어느 누군가 테스트해도 본인에게
안맞을지언정 피해를 끼칠일은 없을거라 생각하여 이렇게 글을
씁니다. 바카라는 절대로 촉에, 기술에 의존해서는
않되는 겜블이라는 것 — 정말이지 많은 분들이 그림과 시뮬과 촉과 운을 믿으며
베팅하는게 바카라라는 생각입니다. 본인은 바카라 완전 초짜지만 절대로 그림 촉
운 이러한 요인들로는 이길수 없는 겜이라 생각합니다.
