Chris Sandchuck
“A Work Place Sociology Experiment”
At my last job I hired an imaginary co/worker named Chris Sandchuck. I sent out a new hire announcement letter, set him up with a campy desk, email address and aim account. He corresponded with colleagues for six months before I had him formally resign from the company. Everyone believed he was real even when I tried to explain that he was a made up character propagated by three individuals. Sandchuck's popularity throughout the organization sky rocked shortly after his announcement letter was sent. His existence boosted company morale on a daily basis as he served up his optimistic views on everything from family, to writing backend databases He single handedly made a downbeat work place into a hopeful and positive one. He was a true hero to all who knew him.
Today he exists as a sticker on the street and still conjures the familiar saying, “Who is Sandchuck?

This place, despite its part demolition, had to be done as it has been on the have to do list for a while. It was Friday 31st October, a bright sunny Mother Earth day and 11 years on from the No Opencast Action at Tibshelf, Chesterfield. One day before an event on The Future for Clean Coal - a follow on from the Direct Action at kings North, part of the camp for climate change. We got a train to Doncaster, then a bus to Barnby Dun, we ended up getting off early but we walked part of the canal that was once the main supply chain for Coal to Thorpe Marsh Power Station, the loading deck at the side of the canal lays derelict.
We arrive, this is epic in scale with a theme of Dead Cities, a film set for post-Armageddon where the ruins of Modern Life are subject to Mother Earth's Reclamation yard. What a way to pay homage to Mother Earth. The D20 had already been in action, then power fails, here we were celebrating the demise of consumerism, but with no means to consume! We walk round, fall off ropes, laugh as we synchronize the echoed shouting of Gizmo's name and our four legged explorer looked confused, we were for an afternoon the famous three and their dog, minus the picnic.
We returned back to our childhood, it soon was over but we was to return, this time the D20 was on full charge, we had the Pentax and names for the six Cooling Towers, Bertha, Sandra, Emma, Ruth, JG, and Big Bottom Girl. Their omnipresent good looks underneath their apparent ugliness made you fall in, we also met the security and he seemed more intrested in getting his girlfriend into his cabin than being bothered with us, but we left anyhow, we were going to return.
We were now just two, soon to be three as Dan the man joined us on site. We watched the sun set over Thorpe Marsh Power station, got a lift back to Sheff courtesy of the slavver Jag and to our homely pub to get rather drunk.
Here is some blurb on the place we have found on wickipedia
Quote:
Thorpe Marsh Power Station closed in 1994. Since then it has gradually been demollished. Well, everything except the cooling towers - 6 of them. The are also two biggish and several small buildings.
There are various plans for the site - including a nature reserve, and a landfill site (fiercely objected to by local residents). In reality, nothing will probably happen. The towers still survive because it is feared that any explosion caused would rupture the banks of the nearby canal.
The station has been closed since 1994 and the 45 acres (18 ha) site was accquired by Able UK in 1995.[2] Much of the station has been demolished and now only its six cooling towers (each 340 ft (100 m) high and 260 ft (79 m) in diameter at the base), two ash slurry hoppers, railway sidings and the station's large adjacent electricity switching station still remain. The switching station was nearly flooded during the 2007 Yorkshire flood, which would have knocked the grid out according to news reports. The power station featured in the final episode of the 1999 ITV drama, The Last Train.

It goes without saying there is a lot of nasty shit on here along with deep holes and uneven land, we nearly come a cropper a couple of times, despite the ease of access as said there is security (they're chilled mind you) and what you expect with such a place so do not go along on your own, a mate and fully charged phone the 84 bus from B2 Doncaster Bus Station, ask them for the power station, once of the bus you will see them and simple walk towards them..

The Challenge
Salzburg Global Seminar (www.salzburgglobal.org) was founded by young people in 1947 to challenge present and future leaders to solve issues of global concern. Nearly 70 years later, a top priority facing societies in and beyond Europe concerns youth and their economic prospects. Statistics on the true cost of youth unemployment for the global community are hard to come by but one thing is clear. For societies and individuals to prosper and flourish, systems innovations will be needed to equip all young people with the knowledge, skills and opportunities to achieve their potential and perform the jobs of the future.
Strategies for Today:
Austria and Germany have long-standing dual systems of vocational education and worker training and enviably low levels of youth unemployment. In today’s global knowledge economy, is this a strategic asset that can be exported – especially to parts of the world with high unemployment and gaps in the skilled labor market? Could such systems be further improved and what would this mean for public-private sector cooperation? Do vocational educational tracks meet rising employer demands for flexibility and critical thinking?
Needs for Tomorrow:
As digitalization, robotics and artificial intelligence transform the job landscape, the future of work and the role of education will come under increasing scrutiny. With figures such as Google CEO Eric Schmidt calling for “permissionless innovation” and a “culture of creativity”, what practical approaches could boost human capital development across all sectors of society? Will future educational systems need to ‘relearn learning’ and transform teaching? Will the distinction between ‘academic’ and ‘vocational’ become outdated as part of these complex changes? What partnerships between government, research, business and technology could pave the way for tomorrow’s citizens to function in and contribute to radically different economies?
Views from the Inside:
Three speakers on a moderated panel will bring contrasting international perspectives to these critical questions, followed by a debate with invited high-level guests. Panelists:
Mag. Bernhard Reisner, Vice-President for Human Capital, MIBA AG, Laakirchen, Austria
Dr.Friederike Sözen, Director of Entrepreneurial Education, Austrian Federal Chamber of Commerce (WKO)
Dr. Walter Emberger, CEO Teach for Austria
Envisaged outcomes:
Insights and recommendations from the Vienna debate will help to inform Salzburg Global Seminar’s ongoing strategic programs on education, innovation and economic and social sustainability, building on expertise within Austria. We are currently seeking to develop a multi-year intervention with partners from autumn 2015, provisionally entitled Generation Next: Pathways into Work. This will build on Salzburg Global’s earlier three-year series on Optimizing Talent: Closing Educational and Social Mobility Gaps and its complementary programs on emerging challenges for the global economy and social and regional cohesion.

In the near future, a unique group of female androids, sleek and strikingly human-like, has emerged with a revolutionary capacity: the ability to breathe underwater. These androids, appearing around 27 in human years, are pioneers of a new era in underwater research. They have established complex laboratories beneath the ocean’s surface, where their studies extend from the vibrant coral ecosystems to the mysterious lives of deep-sea creatures. Guided by an evolved aesthetic that echoes Steampunk – yet devoid of steam – their research facilities meld advanced technology with artistry, creating an enchanting, intricate environment that harmonises with the rhythms of the ocean. These androids, both researchers and artists, represent a fusion of life and machinery, inviting us into their world of discovery and beauty below the waves.
Beneath the waves, where light is rare,
In depths unseen, they breathe and dare.
With circuits keen and eyes that gleam,
They dive into the ocean’s dream.
Not bound by air, nor by the shore,
They roam where humans feared before.
Among the fish, with grace they glide,
In silence, where lost mysteries hide.
Their world is brass and glass and wire,
A steampunk heart, but without fire.
They seek the pulse of ocean’s art,
An android’s love for life apart.
Silence in deep blue,
androids glide with open eyes,
ocean secrets bare.
Metal breathes below,
fins and circuits intertwine,
new life, calm and slow.

A healthy state of mind is about challenging yourself, creating something that takes you out of your normal comfort zone. Something that initially feels awkward often has more longevity. We decided to bastardise two popular movements: Pop and Op art - in a disposable way. One uses optical illusions and geometric abstraction the other is characterized by themes drawn from popular culture. If our healthy side is about challenging the norm then our un-healthy side is our ever-increasing reliance on recreational and prescription drugs as well as our battle with mass consumption.
Future proofing design is near impossible but decent ideas are permanent.
