International Bands
I think this is a good idea for a music topic! Name a band that is pretty much strictly in your country! (or more then one) It COULD be lets say: a band started in Canada thats known in the USA but not anywhere else... you get? Heres the ones I know:
Billy Talent (Canadian)
Nickelback (Canadian)
Free Tacos (Canadian but strictly Albertan)
Rural Alberta Advantage (Canadian)
Michael Bernard Fitzgerald OR MBF (Canadian)
Sataniques Navire (Canadien)
jeux de miroirs (Canadien)
Samatha et les Mangemorts (Canadien)
Jouez jusqu'Ã (Canadien)
Dieux des anges déchus (Canadien)
Oublié et mal aimés (Canadien)
PartyOf17 OR Stranka od sedamnaest (Croatian)

RE: International Bands
There was actually a time when I fancied listening to rock bands from Russia for some reason. Funny though as I never understood a word they said, though considering the heavy flow of instruments, it was harder to make out which was a word and which was a beat on the drums.
It would be great to be able to listen to a more diverse source of music which gets you more open to possibilities.

Again it seems you have missed his point though. We are all a plague on the earth, not just the ones from poor countries. Also the poorer nations probably have less impact on the planet than developed ones.
not really. as burning coal and gas certainly isn't good but has gotten very clean over the years whereas they slash/burning the rainforest for grazing land for their animals. The earth can take our C02 if we have the plants to devour it. The earth has seen a significantly higher CO2 release before humans just by volcanic activity... burn the rainforest and we're all ****ed.

This conversation is closed.
Revolution! ... or peaceful protest? What is the best method for change, and why should we be talking about it?
So, you want a revolution.
Is America due for radical change? What changes would you make? How would you go about making them? What methods bring real results?
And finally, what do you believe is the breaking point for revolution/rebellion?
My opinion to come shortly.
Closing Statement from Mandy Fisher
The conversation may be closed, but the topic is only beginning to brew. Thank you all for your comments. Let's continue the conversation, and perhaps we'll find we arrive at a feasible solution.
Until next time...
Aug 28 2013: In today's financial society, the best form of revolution is to keep your money in your pocket. Let's be clear, the rich get richer because we take our money and put it in their pocket. If we stopped that, they wouldn't get richer. In fact, they would get poorer.
We tried to produce such a movement four years ago. Everyone was pretty aggressive about it, including me. My personal results were: I paid off all my debt and managed to save a considerable amount of money. This form of revolution works. It's call an embargo.
When people think of revolution they think of bloodshed and glory. That's old time thinking. That is why nations today use the embargo and sanctions method. It works.
So, people on the lower levels can create change in todays' society by simply not spending their money on anything but the essentials
Some companies will go out of business but bigger companies will simply buy them and their inventory up. Things will consolidate until the Advertising industry will let business know they have to change.
Aug 28 2013: If you are really a monkey John you get a whole tree full of bananas for this response. Supply and demand the unbreakable law and absolutely our best defense against corporate greed, waste and short-sightedness. It is really our only weapon and should be our weapon of choice as you suggest John. Since the government has been taken over by corporations it will work just as well if you are looking to change the government.
I also am minimizing my spending habits and working towards self-sufficiency. Grow your own food, unplug from the grid, turn off the TV and learn from the internet.
Aug 28 2013: You had me until you said learn from the internet.
I have been "online" since the late 70's through bulletin boards where we exchanged ideas on what we were doing up to today where you have to shovel through a big pile of..... processed straw to find that needle of truth.
Aug 28 2013: Mike, there is an abundance of material on saving money on the INTERNET. People should not confuse saving money with investing money.
I'm an old BB person myself. :) All the way back to 1978. My first BBS went up in 1982. Remember FIDO NET?Aug 28 2013: LOL that is the one statement I totally 100% agree with, the key word being LEARN.
Like anything you have to be smart about how you use it, so learn from TED or khan academy and not a stupid YouTube video.
And FYI: did you know people are watching as many educational YouTubes as dumb ones now; the internet is starting to mature.Aug 28 2013: Let me define internet a little MIke because Corporations thrive their also: A) I have minimized there also by cutting my facebook friends down to six people who I believe are changing the world for good. I eliminated all the people who are just talking about it. I did the same with my email and phone list. In other words if someone contacts me I know it is important and I am all ears. If some idiot slips through it only takes a couple seconds to put them on my No contact list. B) If I want to learn something new I usually go to Wikipedia first so I can learn the terms along with the subject. C) If I want a visual demonstration I usually go to Youtube and put HD at the beginning of the search. I love almost everything I see on TED also. D) If I want to spread an idea I make a website, I have about 150 so far.
E) Other sites I like: Kahn Academy, Al Jazeera news, Pirate Bay, AmazonAug 28 2013: Keith, do you actually run 150 websites? Please explain.
Aug 29 2013: Why? The real answer to your question is funnel marketing. You can easily see a portion of what I have on the internet by searching my name. Offline I have 2 terabytes of websites and data that are constantly being updated, organized and republished back on the internet. I also work for a number of clients.Aug 29 2013: I am interested in how people use the internet to pursue ideas that are important to them, and the idea of running 150 different websites is a program of action that is new to me. So I wondered how hosting so many separate initiatives works for you, and why, for example, it makes better sense to you than having just a couple or three that you run.
It seems like a huge commitment of attention.
Aug 29 2013: I focus on one thing at a time conscientiously and let my sub-conscience handle the rest. When the sub is ready with a solution it simply get's my attention, usually while I am asleep, I wake up, write down the idea and go back to sleep. If it is a big idea I may just start working and not stop until I have layed out the entire framework which could take hours or days. The longest project I have had I started in 1969 and finally finished in 2010, it was the question: why is everybody nuts?Aug 29 2013: Ah, one of the central questions on which people were writing then- Bateson, Marcuse... What form did your resolution take? I could imagine a book, an essay, an infographic...
Aug 29 2013: On my TED profile under "about me" I have submitted the question, answer and solution. If anyone is interested in tons of documentation and verification I would suggest the book "Left in the Dark" by my good friend Tony Wright. His lectures are two to three hours long and I have tried in vain to get him to simplify and shrink them so we could hear him on TED. He also has two websites: http://www.leftinthedark.org.uk/ and http://www.beyond-belief.org.uk/Aug 29 2013: short answer: polluted fuel
Aug 28 2013: Great idea for a TED conversation..........

"Keep your money in your pocket".......what are ways you can cut back on spending?
Aug 28 2013: They are numerous.
Step one: Get rid of all processed sugar products from your life. This will increase your health, reduce your medical costs and prolong your life. 3/4 of the super market is processed sugar. It's cheap profit for the manufactures and harms the human body.
Step two: Find ways to reduce your energy use at home.
Step three: make a spread sheet of your bank account for the last three months and see where you actually spend your money. Look for ways to get rid of expenditures.
Step four: Always look for ways to not spend money. Stay at home, go the bed early. Get rid of any unused devices you have plugged in that consume energy like old analog TV's.
Consider getting an instant hot water heater to replace your tank hot water heater.
The list goes on and on.
Good luck.
Aug 28 2013: My EX has always been a vegetarian health nut, I sent her the following email which bears repeating: The reason human diets are so destructive is resistance. Water soluble food like fruits and vegetables flow through our system with ease and keep our pipes clean and healthy. Oil and glue on the other hand stick to the walls and clog passage ways. Oil like in meat and glue like in white and brown rice glutens are both destructive and form resistance which if not cleaned out ferment into algae, fungus and then disease.
I love all your other suggestions, very good work John.
Aug 28 2013: Great suggestions.......how about starting a conversation on the topic when the TED staff gets back?Aug 28 2013: A prudent reserve in the pocket is good, hopefully stored in a community credit union where it will serve your community instead of the Giant abusive corporations with no liability.
- +1
Aug 28 2013: Yes, it would be great if it worked that way.Aug 28 2013: John,
There is a guy on radio who talks about living without debt, living simply and winding up with money to spare.
You sound like him. And I agree.
But, do you have to be so hard on those who have provide goods and services making a profit? I have no problem with that. I have a choice to purchase or not some product or service. I like a big Mac every once in a while, someone owns the local Mc Donalds that I frequent. If he hadn't made profits and continue to do so, there may be no Mc Donalds there, where I can defy my doctors orders... it's a tough call
Aug 28 2013: Mike. We have no obligation to simply spend money to make people rich. No obligation at all. It is not anti American to save money and cut down on personal spending. I'm sure it will have some effect on prices, initially, but the forces of inventory vs sales will prevail in the capitalist system and scale accordingly. It is a quiet revolution, of the practical kind, with the purpose of creating change in our government and industry.
We spend too much of our money on frivolity.
I eat very healthy -mostly fruit, nuts, vegetables with some yogurt and a few grains. I'm extremely healthy. I never eat anything with processed sugar in it. The result of this diet is just about every medical problem I had went away and I've lost 36 pounds in three months, with no anxiety nor increase in physical activity. I never get hungry anymore. I have plenty of energy.
My cost for food has decreased about 50%.
I never eat Big M's burgers or the king, or any burger. I never drink milkshakes or soda pop. Just water.
The owners of most of these fast food chains will simply retire and live on their bank accounts, maintaining their current life-style. Those employees who lose jobs will find another way to feed themselves. People don't just lay down and die because times are hard.
They get creative.
Aug 29 2013: John,
A big Mac a month is good for the soul. but, it is good you've shaped up.
I am going to start soon on a better life style.....
No, I won't ... all I have left are my vices.Aug 29 2013: John,
The earliest days were online with colleagues at work doing work stuff. I think it was about 1980, when I spent a small fortune for a vic 20 and joined a local club where we had access to a BBS.
Great times sending inane messages back and forth. Later, I got a vic 64 and about a month later, I got a deal on a PC with dos. Put the 64 back in the box, with discs, tape player, et. el. It's still in the garage.Aug 23 2013: I think the term revolution carries very heavy weight. Mainly because it's used to describe events of tremendous scale. Like the question states, Revolution simply means change. The best method for change, at least I believe, is achieving little victories. Small victories in one's community in different areas bring about a multitude of leaders.
Plant a garden, read to children, start a book club, run a basketball camp. Once these leaders tackle bigger issues, will you see followers, organization, mission and ultimately, change.
I do not promote violence or destruction, nor do I promote laziness or a refusal to be the change we want to see, but sometimes violence IS being lazy. But we've already seen how destructive laziness on our part can be right?
So for me, the best method to bring about change, is to encourage people to change what matters to them, then organize them to conquer the world. Isn't that what TED is kind of?
Aug 23 2013: I think revolution is usually meant to mean the more dramatic, all-at-once sort of change rather than the incremental change you describe.
I agree that there is a great deal to gain from the sorts of small, on-the-ground sorts of demonstrations of the possible that you describe. And I agree with your point that violence and some other forms of protest can, in fact, be lazy sometimes and substitutes for productive problem-solving and experimentation with potential solutions.

Aug 23 2013: Perhaps instead of thinking revolution, which is external, we should think evolution, which is internal.

What methods bring real change? The methods that are different from the accustomed. The methods that you choose to apply in your own life. Hopefully inspired by great thinkers and ideals. I would suggest to start here: http://www.thegatesnotes.com/Books
It strikes me these different methods that bring real change includes war, however in my opinion this would not be a change to persue and could be discarded to a primitive (reptilian) method.
How do you think of technological evolution? Technology bringing people closer to each other, in specific through augmented reality:
No social pressure, no change:

It just doesn't work. To replace the current government only results in injecting another, as some of you have said, which may or may not be just as bad, but most certaintly just as controlling (eventually). Revolution is akin to a temper tantrum of a small child. The child is opressed (in the child's view) by something, and thus, explodes in a fit of fury and dismay. The child sometimes gets her way, and sometimes is punished instead. Either way, the temper is subdued, and control is maintained. Illusion of freedom is given temporarly to keep the screaming babe calm, for now.
The world is so interconnected. A single government is not realvent anymore. The days of killing the king and declaring independence are gone- it's bigger then that. The true puppet masters will never be reached by the people, no matter how angry, or how powerful they may become. Sure, we can make a big mess, kill off half our population, bring chaos and disorder- all in vain. They are excellent housekeepers, and no mess is too big to clean up.
So, what can we do? I am beginning to think that the only avenue for awakening is to live by example. Peacefully detach one's self from the soceity in which they disagree. Perhaps bring enough people together to purchase a large track of land; creating a community based on a model of happiness, comradery, and sustainability. Show that system works. Lead by example. I think this is the only chance one has to make true difference.

Nigel Bamber
Aug 21 2013: The problem is that there isn't a club. There needs to be one. It's easy for individuals to think that they are the only person who thinks the way we live is wrong, and therefore perhaps they must be the one that is wrong instead.
- +2
As Fritzie says, there are millions of people trying to live by different, peaceful rules. Perhaps tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions the world over, detaching (or wanting to detach) from the way in which society, governments and business have become, but how can we know? How can we count them? If it can be demonstrated that there is a significant will for change, that will encourage more people to think about changing and actually doing it. Humans learn by copying.
So I think we need a club, a badge, a banner, a name, to show that there are people who want a peaceful, empathic alternative. To bring together all the existing individuals and organisations who are working in that direction. We need to be able to shout "I am a part of this!"
Mandy Fisher
Aug 21 2013: Well, whatcha waiting for Nigel?
- +1
Let's start one!Aug 21 2013: How about the TED club? I honestly think/feel TED is facilitating, and providing the opportunity we speak of Nigel:>)Aug 22 2013: In reply to Colleen (why only three deep threads?)
I think that TED is a part of the club. It is a forum for the ideas and debates that provide the inspiration, but does not provide the actions that form the perspiration. Incidentally, it is the best forum I have found that does this. But, there are people who are part of the movement that have never, and probably will never have heard of or have access to TED.
The Aids worker in central Africa
The soup kitchen worker in India
The teenage programmer in their room coding a patch for Linux
The gardener in Rumania who leaves spare apples from their tree at the gate for passers-by to take.
There doesn't seem to be a way to use TED to initiate or coordinate real world actions and projects. Another potential thread, but has anyone got any ideas on how a real world project could be initiated from within TED and what might be a suitable project to start with to trial this?
Aug 22 2013: I agree Nigel, that there are people who live in a way that is beneficial to the whole, and may not have access to TED, or other obvious ways to connect with other people. There have always been some folks who contribute to the whole, and may never be recognized as a valuable contributor.
I believe actions which create change are happening on many different levels, and TED provides the opportunity for many people to connect. I have seen several talks and conversations on TED where people from different parts of our world are connecting with various projects.
One very simply little example is that I know several teachers in different parts of the US, who use John Hunter's talk and "World Peace Game" as a model in their classrooms. I have forwarded talks and conversations to teachers and other professionals who use many of the ideas posted on TED in their educational programs, and I have received links to TED talks from friends as well. In fact, that is how I was connected to TED originally. So, as I said, I think connections are happening on several different levels.
Fritzie -
Aug 22 2013: The best examples of the use of TED to coordinate people around a single project are the TED prize winners. The most recent is Sugata Mitra's School in the Cloud, which has become the focus of a collaboration involving large numbers of TED attendees and other members of the TED Community. He showed the success of the prototype and people all over the world are launching variations of it and sending him their performance data.

In terms of center-points of activities on the ground that bring together people into a sort of nexus of communication, evaluation, and scale up, one of the ones I follow is the Poverty Action Lab, launched about a decade ago at MIT but housed in multiple venues since then.
I don't know whether you know Open IDEO. That is an open forum in which people craft solutions together to a series of problems put forward by organizations that want to crowd-source help. IDEO has policy advisors on hand to assist by raising questions and suggesting areas for further development and elaboration.Aug 23 2013: Here is another convergence opportunity not to miss: http://www.ted.com/pages/prizewinner_bono
I thought of this when I got my alert today of three ONE meetups in my vicinity. in the next few weeks.Aug 22 2013: Colleen and Fritzie,
I think I was thinking more in the way of TED not having the sort of collaborative, wikki-type tools that a lot of open source software (and increasingly hardware) projects have to help groups to self-organise projects in the non-virtual world. Hence the feeling that the "club" needed a number of arms, of which TED could be a part. Collaborative tools and methods would be another part and how to make them available are one of the topics I am interested in studying further.
There are so many crowd/open source forums out there, but it's a question of not seeing the overall contextual wood for the trees that I hope we can address, and show that they are all moving towards similar goals for society. It would be great to bring them all under a uniform banner. This common identification would provide motivation for those already involved, inspiration for those who aren't, and allow each group to share their successful methods whilst learning what doesn't work. Perhaps the club, as well as being a forum, should provide a directory or wikki of shared resources for all of these disparate individuals and organisations. A reason why IDEO could be identified as part of the club, perhaps?
I am extremely grateful for your feedback on Cynapse. I'm drafting a reply, but with the apparent time zone difference between us you must feel like you are conversing with someone on Mars :-)
Aug 22 2013: Actually, the sort of exchanges in which I participate don't require fast responses. It is a strength of the platform for some of us who cannot commit to being present at any particular time and a weakness, I expect, for others that exchanges are not more "real time."
You don't need to reply to my impressions of Cynapse. I only gave feedback for you to consider. I represent one type of potential participant in "change projects," with lots of personal energy and my own criteria for where I focus the resources I can bring to things. But I don't think I am unique in my criteria.
Do look at OpenIDEO as one model of collaborative tool.
I see from your blog you have noticed Yochai Benkler. Clay Shirky is another whose work you might considered and who also appears in TED talks under the topic "collaboration." I particularly recommend his book Here Comes Everybody and for Yochai Benkler his article Coase's Penguin.
Nigel Bamber
Aug 22 2013: Fritzie, I was extremely grateful for you taking the time to review Cynapse. I must say that I hadn't appreciated that my mentioning of WikiLeaks and Occupy gave the impression that Cynapse agreed with their confrontational methods. I had intended that referring to them gave an example the level of dissatisfaction with the status quo felt by a wide range of people. I can see that, in the light of recent events, there may be a real fear amongst people if they think that their online activities are monitored and they appear to be associated with "subversive" activities. I wonder how the fear of online surveillance will shape future political debate. I wonder how free the free actually feel. The whole concept of Cynapse is not to engage with the old guard, but to connect with the new. I'll see if I can reword the introduction to clarify this. This is why I needed new eyes to look at it :-).

Personally, I felt that the detailed investigation of how open source economics resembled anarcho-communism, would be a big turn off fo some people. Mainly because the words "anarchy" and "communism" carry with them a lot of cultural baggage and associations which bear no relation to their literal meanings.
I also struggled to look for a mechanism for cooperation between believers of different religions, and non-believers.
I have read Benkler and Shirky. In fact, such a large number of the original sources and authors that I looked at had done TED talks, that I started to think that using these jewel-like precis would be a good way to get across what I was learning quickly. If you think there is a chance that people are not listening, it is usually accepted that less detail is more.
I was hoping that Cynapse would provide a meeting place for people to help to assemble reference material across this massive front of subjects.e.g.
Political Philosophy
Organisational Theory
Ethics and Empathy
Religous Philosophy
Intellectual Property..
..the list goes on
Aug 22 2013: You are right, of course, that words carry cultural baggage. My reference to Occupy and wikileaks was not a matter of people worrying about being associated with "subversive" activities but only that there may be a natural incompatibility among some problem solving approaches- indeed a possible aversion. You touch on this, potentially, in your referring to the "old guard." I cannot know who you mean to exclude by that label. Is it age that marks the person? Or another qualification? You read Clay Shirky and Yochai Benkler, so you would not seem personally to have an aversion to scholars, but many people drawn to a change-focused organization may believe all scholars are "bought," or that all of some other category are "bought."
I give this only as an example. Some people feel the same about lawyers, teachers, people who run businesses... Are these rejected?
I must say the language of the "club" itself does not appeal to me personally, as it reflects on first look that too common in-group and out-group sort of thinking, as your old guard and new guard distinction also may. I would hope that is exactly the sort of labeling or sorting that should be shown the exit, as it is often unproductive- or worse.
I don't believe many people feel that they are the only ones dissatisfied with various aspects of the status quo. Calling for change has become the norm!
Generally speaking, and I do not know how old you are, most of us who have worked a long time cooperate day in and day out and elbow to elbow with believers of a variety of faiths as well as non-believers. Fundamental values are widely held in common, and I can easily say in my career I can never remember differences in religious belief as an obstruction to collaboration in solving or working to solve, say, urban problems.
To put forward a specific example, I would not expect the productivity of the many heads coming together at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to be affected by the religions of the staff
Nigel Bamber
Aug 24 2013: Fritzie, I was not implying that people with different religeous beliefs could not cooperate. I was trying to find a form of words to persuade people who think that their form of belief does prevent cooperation. We appear both to be very lucky. I work in a very multi-faith and multi-racial environment. On my desk alone we have at least 4 different belief systems. This is not true everywhere and just a few miles from my home there are still marks on a wall caused by a bomb, planted by people who felt their faith prevented any form of cooperation with others.

As for age, I am old enough to have been both the first person to hold a newborn child and the last person to hold a dying old person. I am young enough to still think that building sand castles is still a great way to spend your time on a beach :-).
You provide many examples of the ways in which change is being carried out. You appear reluctant to have these linked as the "club" as this would be divisive, Let me try another way to explain why the club would be a positive move. This is probably going to smash completely through the 2000 character limit, but I hope it helps. I do realise that the more I write, the less likely people are to read it. I wonder to what extent the shape of a TED conversation shapes the conversation, but that is another thread. I'll contine this at the head of the conversation.
Aug 24 2013: I am glad you recognize that in most cases of collaborate work, people's religions or lack thereof are entirely irrelevant.
I think that people on TED will still read a sequence of two clearly written posts but less so once a person strings more than that together, as it may sometimes then seem like a soapbox situation.
My reluctance about a "club" is that I think we are all in this life together and that considering life that way is a step forward.. I would not choose to reach out my hand preferentially to those who join a club over those who do not. I know that within-club is a familiar model of social interaction. As you write, some people will choose to be in a club, however it is defined, some will choose an isolated stance, and some will continue to try to embrace the whole in their interactions.Aug 25 2013: I have read your string of comments Nigel, and it feels clear that you would like one large group working toward a mission.
As you say..."This common identification would provide motivation... It would be great to bring them all under a uniform banner. This common identification would provide motivation... So I think we need a club, a badge, a banner, a name, to show that there are people who want a peaceful, empathic alternative. To bring together all the existing individuals and organisations who are working in that direction. We need to be able to shout "I am a part of this!"
I feel that I can shout "I am a part of this" whenever I feel like shouting it, and I agree with what Fritzie has written...including, and not limited to...."we are all in this life together". Some people will recognize that, and some people will not. I believe that TED is already serving to organize people and providing the forum for sharing ideas.
Sometimes, when an organization gets too big, it becomes ineffective. Consider the UN, which was formed as a global peacekeeping organization? The organization is obviously ineffective, and in some respects corrupt. Consider the American Cancer fund, Heart fund and Red Cross....all have a very good purpose, and it has been found that money donated to the good cause goes mostly to administrators, and in some cases has been misused.
Your goal/mission is a noble cause, and it seems to be already happening, even without a club name, badge or banner to identify it:>)

Aug 21 2013: I wouldn't say that, precisely.

There are times where replacing a government most definitely led to improvements. Then again, those are the exceptions that prove the rule...
What I'm saying is that you should think carefully before trying to topple a government by violence.
Positive change may or may not be possible, and assessing how realistic it is to implement is precisely the difference between a calculated decision to remove the existing power structure, and as you've put it, a temper tantrum that does more harm than good.
Of course, in a proper democratic regime, I'd go as far as saying that a violent revolution has a snowball's chance in hell of improving things. Fortunately, those are easier to modify without resorting to violence in the streets.

Aug 16 2013: if the society feels that it is ethical and moral, then civil disobedience has a chance over time, especially over time.
- +2
if the society,especially the leaders, feel they are the definer of ethics and morality, then you need violence to force the change.
Aug 16 2013: Oooo, I like it Wayne. Great observation. I agree, the more control, or at least the illusion of control, the more need for violence to make change. What do you feel is the situation in America?
Aug 16 2013: During my life, i would have said it might have been closer during the civil rights in the early 60's and the late 60's to the early 70's with the vietnam war. Today, the country is polarized but I am not sure as much as during those periods.Aug 28 2013: I think a gradual non-violent revolution, accompanied by peaceful protests, with national media coverage- when autocratic-minded leadership gets carried with its special-interest-group favoring programs. It usually takes time for citizens to give up their individual rights and freedoms, and it certainly takes time and dogged determination for citizens to regain those lost rights and freedoms back. In a quick, violent revolution, usually, some narrow-minded group comes out on top and insists on imposing their ways on everyone else, thereby guaranteeing long term violent turmoil in that society. Compare the histories of the United States and Canada. The U.S. was born in a Revolutionary War that happened in the middle of a "civil war", 1765 to 1785 between the Patriots and the Loyalists before the Patriots prevailed. Since then, the U.S has had another Civil War, North vs South, and an ongoing Civil rights movement for the last 50 years. Canada gradually morphed from British Colonies in the 1700s to a Confederation starting in 1867, and finally, its own constitution in 1982, all with relatively little violence, but a lot of dogged determination and grass roots support for a civil society.Aug 28 2013: the two simplest ways to get change are so very simple but will never happen.
1) Nobody vote. Undermine the system by with-holding your vote and demanding somebody decent to vote for.
2) Nobody buy anything. Consumers hold all the power but only in vast numbers. If you wanted to bring, for example, a Telco to its knees, you simply need to inspire all their customers to not pay their bills.
this would obviously require a charismatic, visionary and altruistic leader and the world simply does not produce these.
Aug 29 2013: We wouldn't need a leader. All we'd need is awareness and a consensus on what should be done. Getting two people to agree on something without any doubt between them is hard enough as it is.Aug 28 2013: peaceful protest would always be the best resort. aggression just precipitates more aggressionAug 28 2013: Perhaps there is a greater need for evolution to propose a revolution. It begins from the individual who evolves and becomes an inspiration or an infectious example of what he or she expects to change.
But any change is a process. It warrants determination, persistence, commitment and perseverance to be accomplished. Not protest, destruction and violence, especially when we have more media at our disposal today.
Yes =, America, like every other country can become better . But perhaps we need to evolve and become the smarter species that we claim to be and then change will happen.
Bob Stiglitz
Aug 27 2013: The real problem is people just don't work on responsibility or freedom, most people are incredibly stupid and need leadership. Religion is proof of this. There will always be heirarchy and authority simply because of the laws of nature. In the universe there is entropy (things, including people, tend to fall apart over time).
- +1
Everything in the universe has structure, those structures are subject to stresses and forces over time and thereby cause mis-alignment (i.e. thats how we have disease, different perspectives, etc, etc).
The reality is there IS one reality but the human mind is divided into many different sub realities where no agreement is possible, because each mind is it's own universe. Each person or group of people see's and believes and has different values. Which means fundamentally they want to create different worlds. So conflict is inevitable.
Aug 28 2013: You are correct Bob. Conflict is inevitable, but is that excuse to do nothing? We know we are heading toward death, but we keep the ecstasy of life within us.
At least in the foreseeable future, the masses will always need a leader, a governing body. Yet, we must demand a rule that "governs less" and inspires more.
Aug 28 2013: Then you have to accept that there are some people you have to disqualify from power/participation because they are permanently lost because of biological inability to perceive the world accurately. It's no one's fault, it's just the nature of our world.
A mind is built using biological resources, if there isn't enough quality in the make of the mind/person then you're going to get self-destructive, ignorant and deluded behavior based on inability to see and understand the environment.
The great irony of history, is that our morality is not based on scientific evidence regarding what is best for our survival. The older views that their exists superior and inferior specimens of mankind IS true, but mankind has always been too immature to know how to deal with it.
Technically ignorance/stupidity it would be a health problem, something along the lines of disability/mental illness. But telling that to millions of people, especially members of the upper class who think their minds function healthy and they would look at you like you were mad.
Our history and the predatory social model of our capitalist world unfortunately has lead to this state of affairs, we have too many predatory humans who can't think or perceive the world accurately or are lacking ethical/compassionate traits that lead to sane adult perspectives of how to live and behave.
Aug 28 2013: Indeed.
Although it seems harsh, it is reality. I personally believe in reincarnation and classify the above described people as being "young souls". If you see an individual as such, you will be less likely to treat the other as inferior. I do not believe any human being is "better" then another, but simply more developed intellectually. We must find a way to promote goodness and change in everyone, including those seemingly uninterested; this my friend, is the start of real change.
Don Anderson
Aug 28 2013: I fully agree in fact in my profile under "An idea worth spreading" I have "Living by the Nine Noble Virtues;

Truth (AI: truth being something you always seek to discover, have the Courage see and accept, and the Discipline to act on, as well as speak.)"

at least in the USA, and as long as the Constitution is in effect.
Peaceful Protests? All they do is give the participants their 15 minutes of fame. They see themselves on the 6 o'clock
news and get warm fuzzies up their skirts. No effective changes in national policies. 50 years ago, Martin Luther King gathered hundreds of thousands in Washington and gave a great speech. One of the largest peaceful protest in our history. Today, the country is still dealing with those issues he addressed.
There have been two revolutions in our history, the one the created the United States and one that almost tore us apart.
Both involved a great deal of death and destruction.
The constitution has mechanism for amendment. Voters select their representatives at the voting booth. If the electorate make poor choices for representation, that is a personal problem for each voter. Granted the "voted-in clique" has taken steps to make their reelection easy, but in the words of Franklin,, we need and educated electorate to make our republic work. So, if public schools are dumbing us down and federal educational policies are encouraging the questioning of patriotism, and our faith in our constitution. We could be drawn into a nation of meritocracy and dthe dictatorial outcome that is forecast.
It all remains to be seen.
Aug 27 2013: "as long as the Constitution is in effect."
Stop right there, to me the Constitution is no longer in effect.
We the people no longer have any control of our government, freedom from search without cause (NSA), freedom of the press, freedom to speak against the government without fear of reprisal, freedom of association, and freedom to vote is just an illusion to keep the masses passive.
In what way is the constitution in effect?
And don't say we have the right to bear arms: for in this age of communication and drones, fire arms are as obsolete as metal suits of armor.
Aug 28 2013: Agreed.Aug 27 2013: *Full blown blood in the street civil war is my first thought, but with homeland security buying enough ammo to kill every civilian five times we need to switch to plan B.
*Peaceful protest will not work, for one reason they can ID and punish every protester. Via face recognition software and having every ID photo in their data base.
*A military takeover would work and with the US multi branch military system, the treat of permanent military rule is slim. (But there is not much we can to get that going)
Considering the military has done its part in keeping us free, and we the civilians have given our liberty away, maybe military rule would be better.
A Change we need to do is with how we educate, no more government controlled education.
*Ending the monopoly on education that the two puppet parties control, is a key step that has to be taken. (Education needs to be a mixture of local, national and international online classes with some home/ voucher schooling) and Kids need to learn self-reliance, for without that you can't have independence and liberty.
*Employers need to stop paying base on university education, and pay based on performance. We all know the universities are an enemy to the American way, and need to stop supporting them.
Mandy Fisher
Aug 28 2013: Yes yes yes! Education is key. Don, I agree with your points. My question to you is... How can we implement this?
- +1
Aug 28 2013: How can we implement this? (Good Question :) )
There will be two aspects to Education, online and in schools.
Online will be equal for everybody in the world, rather the student is the son of a rich King, or an orphan in the poorest place on earth. The same distinguished classes and teachers will be available.
All the online educators worldwide will need to be connected to a source, with standards, teacher and class ratings, class prerequisites, a verification system, and a means for employers and others to see a student' achievements.
This will allow students to take classes from any teacher they want, exposing them to views and opinions and not just those from the local school.
Schools will need shift from "lecture classrooms with teachers" to "labs and workshops with education couches". As stated in this talk I just found this morning.
Aug 28 2013: I'll check out that talk shortly, thank you for sharing.
I love it Don, and I too believe this would drastically improve education. You are correct, the long-term change must start with our youth. True education: the promotion of curiosity, innovation, and philosophy; why did we forget this?!
It's due time to stop pumping out factory workers and begin promoting the human imagination.
Let's bring back the explorers, the inventors, and the philosophers. Let us find our humanity again!
Don, I'd love to talk more on this subject soon. Ideas are the beginning, but action is the change.

Not real, should be: it's LaMaserati!
What'd happen if Maserati made a LaFerrari-based hypercar? Mark Hostler has the answer
Posted: 03 Mar 2014
This is the LaMaserati concept, and it doesn't exist. It also won't be built, and it's not official in any way whatsoever. But it is utterly extraordinary and we want to drive it very, very much.
Penned by Staffordshire University transport design graduate Mark Hostler, it's designed around the LaFerrari platform, in much the same way the Maserati MC12 was built around the Enzo. Only the Ferrari's trick KERS system's been removed to save weight, and the 6.3-litre V12's been tuned for extra power and the gearing's been adjusted accordingly.
At least, it would be if the LaMaserati existed. Which it doesn't. And never will.
There's more Maserati design-stuff in the rendering too, like the classic blue and white colour scheme. We have no idea if those antenna-style 'wing' mirrors would serve any practical function whatsoever. Or if we like them or not. But, like the rest of it, they're utterly insane. What do you reckon?

Turbot/Halibut, Greenland (Hirame) – Western Greenland
Greenland Turbot is a slow growing flatfish that is found in temperate and arctic waters throughout the northern hemisphere.
In western Greenland, Greenland Turbot are caught in both offshore and inshore waters. The abundance of Greenland Turbot in the offshore population, which is shared with Canada, is uncertain, but appears to be have remained stable over the last few years and may have increased in some areas. Abundance of Greenland Turbot in the inshore areas is also uncertain. Management advice is provided by the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) and is used to set total allowable catch limits for the fisheries.
Bottom trawls, which can cause substantial habitat damage, are used to catch Greenland Turbot in offshore waters, while bottom longlines and gillnets, which cause moderate habitat damage, are used in the inshore fisheries. The level of bycatch in these fisheries is unknown.
This fish may have high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury in turbot. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

Ambivalent Writer Turns His Memoir Upside Down; Denouncing Profits and Publishers While Profiting From Publication
Most first-time authors whose books become best sellers are simply delighted, but not Dave Eggers. Just weeks before the paperback's publication yesterday, he half seriously asked his editors at Vintage Books if they could call the whole thing off. In the end, however, largely at his behest, Vintage is releasing the paperback with an extraordinary combination of attention-getting twists: a new appendix correcting and updating the original, an upside-down back cover creating a book that seems to open from either end, and three different versions, each with its own cover illustration.February 14, 2001 technologyNews

FORT WALTON BEACH — Deaundros Blackshear was sentenced to life in prison without parole Thursday immediately after he was convicted of first-degree murder.
Blackshear shot and killed Junior Ferguson during a drug deal Nov, 15, 2011, that prosecutor Angela Mason told jurors actually was an attempted robbery.
Ferguson was shot twice in the chest while sitting in a car. Peter Fazer, a passenger, was shot once in the shoulder.
Blackshear was found not guilty of shooting Frazer.
Mason called the case "difficult."
"We did not have a great deal of scientific evidence," she said after the conviction and sentencing.
Without DNA or fingerprints, Mason relied heavily on testimony of two men on opposite sides of the incident: Frazer and Reginald Bradshaw.
Frazer arrived with Ferguson at Gulf Terrace Condominiums in Destin the night of the shooting. Frazer actually was the one who brought nearly a pound of marijuana to sell.
Bradshaw drove Blackshear and Arderius Warren to the condominium complex to buy the drugs. Warren, who is scheduled to be tried for murder March 4, also allegedly participated in the drug deal/robbery.
Mason said although Frazer and Bradshaw originally lied to investigators, their testimony during Blackshear's trial presented basically the same account of the shooting.
"Long before DNA and fingerprints, murders were solved every day," Mason said. "We were able to do that again this week."
The jury deliberated for about four hours before returning its verdicts.
In exchange for his testimony in the Blackshear and Warren cases, Bradshaw has been allowed to plead guilty to third-degree murder and to being an accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. Under the deal, Bradshaw cannot serve more than 11 years in prison.
Like Blackshear, Warren is charged with first-degree murder. If he is convicted, state sentencing guidelines will require Okaloosa County Circuit Judge William Stone to sentence him to life without parole.

Bytesforall Bangladesh's Partha Sarker made a key note presentation at a round-tableorganized by Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) and Access to Information (A2I) at BCC Auditorium, Dhaka on the 21st of October (Tuesday), 2014. The presentation is available here. The presentation highlighted the conceptual framework of Open Data, what it includes technically and legally, what other countries are doing, what is important to consider, what are the models available, what are the step by step processes involved etc. The round-table also highlighted the need for having areadiness study and a small pilot project of developing a mobile-app based on open data available from any Government agency. This study is likely to see both the demand and supply side of open data spectrum. On the demand side, it is likely to investigate the areas where data is mostly needed, what type of data is frequently accessed by common people and how it affects their lives etc. And on the supply side it would examine the legal framework, availability, accessibility and interoperability of data.

Bytesforall Bangladesh at Take Back the Tech (TBTT) in Bangladesh
Bytesforall Bangladesh's Munir Hasan organized a series of Take Back the Tech (TBTT) campaign in seven locations across Bangladesh. The objective of these campaigns was to raise awareness among the university level students (specially female students) about the unreported incidents, consequences and legal remedies to online harassment, privacy infringement. All the campaigns were organized in different educational institutes and were attended by hundreds of female students who raised questions about the remedies, shared their experiences and interacted for a lively session. Bytesforall Bangladesh is working to develop a solution where the incidents could be reported anonymously using cell phone or Internet and can be connected directly to the local authority. Following are the locations and the approximate number of participants who attended these TBTT campaigns.

Generally, lighting combines 3 types of lighting: overhead, task & accent, which each serves different purposes. Space can be emphasized through several light sources.
Also referred to as "ambient" or "general", it provides the overall lighting for a room - usually a ceiling fixture. Be sure to consider height/space restrictions before buying.
Task lighting directs light where it's needed most - for reading, kitchen work etc. Increasing the amount of focused light can help compensate for small print or poor contrast.
Accent lighting emphasizes a specific spot & can be dramatic, calming or functional. Post lights are ideal for lighting a path & spotlights draw attention to art or a trophy.

Heeeeey! Long time no talk. I even forgot this website existed. SO MANY things happen. I graduatede with really good grades, all As and Bs :)I got into a good college and I just finished my first week there. At first I thought I'm never going to make friends but there is A LOT of cool people in there and I even spotted a girl with a Korn t-shirt.
I'm in a very bad mental state because of two guys and the fact I still didn't patch things up with my best friend Vincent >.< All my friends have their prom dresses already and...I'm just there. At least I finished most of my exams (got only one left) so I can spend most of my time doing absolutely nothing. How about ya? :)
I'm should super busy as well. I'm on a study leave at the moment, but instead of studying I'm slacking off. I knew it's gonna happen. I had my English Literature exam today. Tomorrow it's Religious Studies and thursday Chemistry and second English exam. WHAT THE FUCK? I need a serious break, because at the moment I don't even have time to study for the exams. i have to study a day before the exam.
I didn't even know you had a boyfriend. I thought you and Justin were pretty tight, I'm quite confused. But not my business :3 Cool, you can speak Spanish? :D I've got only I.T. project to finish. I finished my art and theatre studies work, all in and ready to mark. Now I just have to study for the exams. I'm chilling at the moment and munching on some Ben&Jerry's. Gosh I looove ice cream! :P
Gosh, that sucks even more :( I won't go to prom if I wont find a cool dress. I don't want to spend too much. I'm such a picky person as well :O But anywho thanks for wishing me luck. my first exam was art and I already finished that. Then I had theatre studies - easy peasy :D Tomorrow I've got Citizenship Studies. Fuck me man I hate this subject with passion. Is extremely boooring :O
Sheesh, I think every school had their prom already except from mine :O I live in London, there suppose to be a lot of shops with prom dresses but guess what? Saturday I went to central London with my friends to look at some dresses and we couldn't find anything. Plus I still got exams to worry about. I can't take this pressure man D:

A giant asbestos-infected tarantula is feared to be on the loose on the streets of Cardiff after a gruesome attic discovery.
The alarm was raised after a team of asbestos removal experts from Kuston Vorland found its recently-shed skin in an abandoned 19th century house in the Roath area on Tuesday.
Experts believe the creature could have doubled in size to seven inches, with its exposure to asbestos making it potentially even more dangerous to the public.

I selected the drive, right click delete (all three partitions, swap etc)
Then Right Click New, created the partition, and that was it. I didn't do another format because I assumed deleting a partition does the same thing.

Well seems weird yes, but everything else is fine. So I dunno lol
Well on my previous install I remember uninstalling LibreOffice with Software Centre, then later looking for it in Synaptic and it still having parts of it installed.
Yes I know it comes down to taste, but I have only found mediterranean Night as one I like, would love to see more that people like to see whats out there.
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
Posted 26 January 2013 - 15:30
What is odd is that had you installed Ubuntu over the newly created partition scheme - this process would have been done twice.
Did you bring anything over from a previous installation?
Open terminal and runsudo apt-get autoremove
This'll clean up any installed packages that are no longer needed.sudo apt-get clean
And this'll clean up the temp mess left behind.

So I came across a new problem today.
I thought it was related to Steam but I just tried another file and have the same issue.
Trying to install applications with .deb files and the Software Centre is giving me an error.
There isn't a software package called "file:" in your current software sources.
I dunno what I did, I already installed a few programs this way without issue.
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f

GHENT, Belgium (AP) — Visit the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris and chestnut trees greet you as you wander among graves of luminaries such as Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison.
When Anne Frank was in hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam, the view of a monumental chestnut tree was one thing that cheered her up.
In Cambridge, England, the two-century-old chestnut standing outside King's College chapel has become a beloved icon.
In all those places — and over much of Europe — the horse chestnut tree is under threat.
Sometimes they crash across boulevards and smash cars, unable to bear the weight of their own foliage. At other times, city officials move in and cut them down before they collapse.
In high summer, their leaves can become so rusty it feels like October. As autumn approaches, many stand naked while other trees still wear their crowns of green.
The culprits: a moth that produces leaf-eating larvae and a bacterium that makes trunks bleed and die.
"In a sense it is almost like a lethal cocktail," said Dr. Darren Evans of the University of Hull. "If it is under attack by moths, it is probably going to be more susceptible to this bleeding canker — which will kill it."
"It is spread throughout most of northern Europe," Evans said of the leaf miner moth in a telephone interview. "We still don't really know whether there is any effective way of controlling it." The same goes for the bacteria.
Without any clear reason, the moth became rampant and spread through much of Europe about a decade ago. In Britain, it first surfaced in Wimbledon in 2002 and soon spread across England and Wales. It has flourished across the continent. The moth lays eggs in leaves and the larvae start devouring them, causing foliage to turn color as soon as July.
The rusting robs the tree of vital sunlight for key months and, weakened, some fall prey to other diseases such as fungi.
The moth was soon joined by a bacterium that came from the Himalayas and causes chestnut bark to bleed an oozing sticky liquid, sapping the tree and in many cases causing death.
"The worst case scenario is that we lose most of our horse chestnut trees to this bleeding canker," Evans said.
In Britain, which has up to 2 million chestnut trees, a 2007 survey showed that up to half could be infected with the disease. In countries like Belgium, France and the Netherlands, the alarm has also been raised.
The chestnuts, or marroniers, in Paris are also part of the attraction at Pere Lachaise. But last year, visitors could walk ankle deep through rusty leaves in the middle of July.
"It's a problem all over Paris," said cemetery conservator Martine Lecuyer, although she said heavy rainfall made this year a little better.
In Amsterdam, officials are scrambling to try to save chestnuts within the famed canal belt. For Anne Frank's tree, help came too late. The 150-year-old tree, affected by the moth and fungi, weakened progressively and crashed to the ground two years ago.

Kinokuni Hill and Distant View of Akasaka Tameike, No. 85 from One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
The forward guard of a procession of samurai comes strutting up Kinokuni Hill with the Akasaka district in the distance. He wears a stern expression, intent on balancing in the palm of his hand a tufted standard that he would from time to time twirl and toss in the air. Some commentators have faulted Hiroshige for the downhill appearance of this uphill slope, but he is merely setting the stage for the performers. The figures probably belong to one side of a double-file procession, marching in a rhythmic goose step that is only hinted at by their tense posture.
- Artist: Utagawa Hiroshige (Ando), Japanese, 1797-1858
- Medium: Woodblock print
- Place Made: Japan

- Image:
- Catalogue Description: This view shows a daimyo procession marching up Kinokuni Hill, with Akasaka district in the distance. Shown here is only one side of a double file procession. These figures were well known for their performing skills, twirling and tossing these standards, which are seen well balanced in the palms of their hands. The forward guard is wearing a jacket of indigo-dyed "shobu leather," named after the pattern of shobu leaves (seen also in print 64 of the series) on the shoulders. Kinokuni Hill ran outside the estate of the Tokugawa lord of Kinokuni (Kii Province, now Wakayama Prefecture). The Kii estate became Akasaka Detached Palace in the Meiji Period, then was the residence of the emperor until 1888. In 1909 it became a grand Western-style palace that remains there today and is now used as a state guest house. At the lower left is a section of the Outer Moat, known today as Benkeibori. In the far center distance is a fire tower and shogunal firefighter barracks, which today is the Hotel Okura Annex. Behind the procession, in the forest, is one of the estates of Asano of Hiroshima, which in modern times has been a military court, a prison, a barracks, and today is the site of the TBS broadcasting empire. At the far right is another fire tower of another shogunal barracks.

Check out the photo. Apparently this lot won medals at a velodrome.
I'm not one to be doubtful of facts but come on, couldn't you see them as being the geek squad from an American teenage movie ?
Love the footy socks.
Re: Do you believe this?
Just as well that the awards are based on performance.

The fact that they are holding a smallish trophy and not a bloody great winners cheque while getting a kiss from a gorgeous stunner, makes me think of a Manchester area schools cycling team, not elite level cyclists.
As long as they had fun, it's all good. Prizes are gravy.
Mind you, there is something vaguely Pythonesque about the young feller on the right.
O ye cynics and hard of heart ....
There's always F grade - even we get medals in the club championship!

Yeah, what a great attitude to all who give it a go!
Thought this site was for all cyclists of all levels! They might not look the best but remember that they are someones child, probably with a problem but at least they are there having a go! they are most likely having as much fun doing it as all of you are having hanging it on them. What would you think if it was one of your children or even one of your mates and everyone was hanging it on them.
Really we need to look and think about this. Hang what ever you want on me for taking there side but overall this has really shown me what some of the memebers of this site are really like.
There is no point telling all of you to have a good hard look at yourselves in the mirror, you would not probably be there for hours and would have blisters when you are finished loving yourselves.
Well like this is a forum of opion, I think That there is a limit in what is said!
With the comments how many are you little hitlers, seems like all that you would like is the fit well cut blonde hair blue eye person. So that it will not wreck the image of what you think is a "cyclist"
Didnt WWII start for a similar reason?
Richard doesn't wax.
Tuco sweats a lot.
Peter wears a scout masters uniform.
I have unpaid fines from the last time the style police caught up with me.
Cool it mate.
BTW, I'm part German.

And rides F grade with the ACT Vets - where he didn't get a medal in the Club championships - but turns up for as many events as he can, because he just likes giving it a go.
I think it's chill pill time! Re-read the thread - there's more self deprecation than any other sentiment, which is a very common theme in this forum - and no commercial self-interest!.

I was thinking of a full body wax. Heres my logic;
$5000 CF frame. 0.5kg saving
$200 full body wax 2.0kg saving

Dear me, someone got out on the wrong side of bed.
What a complete and utter overreaction! Love the hyperbole, you're not a copywriter for an ad agency by any chance?
A very big one!
12.5x18 metres divided into 3 bays, centre bay double height, mezzanine, four post hoist, room for 9 cars comfortably (but if you tried really hard you could probably squeeze another one in).
A man needs his shed, and obviously it can never be too big.
big shed, small ________
