Bullies and mean girls have been around forever, but technology has given them a whole new platform for their actions. As adults, we're becoming more aware that the "sticks and stones" adage no longer holds true; both real world and online name-calling can have serious emotional consequences for our kids and teens.
It's not always easy to know how and when to step in as a parent. For starters, our kids tend to use technology differently than we do. Kids and teens today start playing games online and sending texts on their cell phones at an early age, and most teens have smart phones that keep them constantly connected to the Internet. Many are logged on to Facebook and chatting or sending text messages all day. Even sending email or leaving a voice mail seems "so old-school" to them. Their knowledge of the digital world can be intimidating, but if parents stay involved in their kids online world, just as you do in their real world, you can help protect your kids from online dangers.
Fortunately, our growing awareness of cyberbullying has helped us learn a lot more about how to prevent it. Here are some suggestions on what to do if online bullying has become part of your child's life.
Cyberbullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. By definition, it occurs among young people. When an adult is involved, it may meet the definition of cyber-harassment or cyber-stalking, a crime that can have legal consequences and involve jail time.
Sometimes cyberbullying can be easy to spot — for example, if your child shows you a text message, tweet, or response to a status update on Facebook that is harsh, mean, or cruel. Other acts are less obvious, like impersonating a victim online or posting personal information, photos, or videos designed to hurt or embarrass another person. Some kids report that a fake account, web page, or online persona has been created with the sole intention to harass and bully.
Cyberbullying also can happen accidentally. The impersonal nature of text messages, IMs, and emails make it very hard to detect the sender's tone — one person's joke could be another's hurtful insult. Nevertheless, a repeated pattern of emails, text messages, and online posts is rarely accidental.
A 2006 poll from the national organization Fight Crime: Invest in Kids found that 1 in 3 teens and 1 in 6 preteens have been the victims of cyberbullying. As more and more youths have access to computers and cell phones, the incidence of cyberbullying is likely to rise.
No longer limited to schoolyards or street corners, modern-day bullying can happen at home as well as at school — essentially 24 hours a day. As long as kids have access to a phone, computer, or other device (such as an iTouch), they are at risk.
Severe or chronic cyberbullying can leave victims at greater risk for anxiety, depression, and other stress-related disorders. In some rare but highly publicized cases, some kids have turned to suicide.
The punishment for cyberbullies can include being suspended from school or kicked off of sports teams. Certain types of cyberbullying also may violate school codes or even anti-discrimination or sexual harassment laws.
Many kids and teens who are cyberbullied are reluctant to tell a teacher or parent, often because they feel ashamed of the social stigma, or because they fear their computer privileges will be taken away at home.
The signs that a child is being cyberbullied vary, but a few things to look for are:
If you discover that your child is being cyberbullied, talk to him or her about any experiences you have had in your childhood. This can help your child feel less alone. Let your child know that it's not his or her fault, and that bullying says more about the bully than the victim. Talking to teachers or school administrators also may help, but take cues from your child.
Many schools, school districts, and after-school clubs have established protocols for responding to cyberbullying; these vary by district and state. But before reporting the problem, let your child know that you plan to do so, as he or she could have concerns about "tattling" and might prefer that the problem be handled privately.
Other measures to try:
If your son or daughter agrees, you may also arrange for mediation with a therapist or counselor at school who can work with your child and/or the bully.
Finding out that your kid is the one who is behaving inappropriately can be upsetting and heartbreaking. It's important to address the problem head on and not wait for it to go away.
Talk to your child firmly about his or her actions and explain the negative impact it has on others. Joking and teasing might seem OK, but it can hurt people's feelings and lead to getting in trouble. Bullying — in any form — is unacceptable; there can be serious (and sometimes irrevocable) consequences at home, school, and in the community if it continues.
Remind your child that the use of cell phones and computers is a privilege. Sometimes it helps to restrict the use of these devices until behavior improves. If you feel your child should have a cell phone for safety reasons, make sure it is a phone that can only be used for emergency purposes. Insist on strict parental controls on all devices if there is any history of your child making impulsive decisions when they are online.
To get to the heart of the matter, sometimes talking to teachers, guidance counselors, and other school officials can help identify situations that lead a kid to bully others. If your child has trouble managing anger, talk to a therapist about helping your son or daughter learn to cope with anger, hurt, frustration, and other strong emotions in a healthy way.
Professional counseling often helps kids learn to deal with their feelings and improve their confidence and social skills, which in turn can reduce the risk of bullying. If you're tech-savvy yourself, model good online habits to help your kids understand the benefits and the dangers of life in the digital world.

ORLANDO, Fla.—Sandy Shugart has big ideas. Six of them, to be exact. And you don't have to go very far on any of the five campuses of Valencia College in central Florida to hear what they are. The community-college president's vision has seeped into the bloodstream of the Orlando education community—deans, faculty, tutors, neighboring colleges, and even employers.
It may seem odd to hear the same phrases pop up in conversations with various school administrators—"the ecosystem of higher education," for example, or "anyone can learn anything under the right conditions"—until you meet Shugart. He has planted and cultivated those seeds in everyone around him.
"What I'm after there is not compliance. What I'm after there is fertility, fecundity," he said. "So a guy who's mowing the lawn can say, 'You know what? It's really not very learning-centered for me to mow right up next to the classrooms when people are trying to learn. I need to mow away from the buildings during prime time.' "
If Shugart sounds like a daytime talk-show host, it's no accident. He compares himself to Phil Donahue. "I have the same hair." A more apt comparison is to former President Clinton; both leaders have an uncanny ability to make platitudinous statements sound genuine. Both relate easily to people. And, yes, both have great hair.
"From the very first year Sandy was here, he asked two questions: 'Are students learning? How do we know?' " said Nasser Hedayat, a former electrical-engineering professor who heads the college's outreach to Orlando employers.
The answers to Shugart's questions are the reason that Valencia was the first school to win the top prize in the Aspen Institute's College Excellence Program. The contest, which offers $1 million a year for community colleges, was unveiled two years ago by President Obama when he launched a campaign to increase community-college graduations by a total of 5 million by 2020.
One year later, Aspen awarded Valencia $600,000 and gave four runner-up institutions $100,000 each. Valencia devoted more than half of its award, $350,000, to its unique faculty-training facility; the rest went to student scholarships. School fundraisers say that a matching campaign will at least double the amount of the Aspen award. The recognition that goes with the prize also upped Shugart's national profile. A few minutes before his interview with National Journal, he finished a conference call with White House officials and three university presidents who sat on a panel that took place Monday.
Shugart thinks of himself as a risk taker. He doesn't like to keep the college's funds in a trust account if he can spend the money on programs that bolster student learning. He is critical of Obama's "college completion agenda" because he believes it takes emphasis away from what really matters: students' learning. Staff members say that having Shugart at the helm encourages them to take risks as well. Everyone calls him Sandy.
He refuses to follow anyone's script, which makes him both sought after and slightly feared as a public speaker. A few years ago, he removed his name from a list of potential speakers at a hearing of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee after what he described as an "awkward conversation" with committee staffers; he told them that Pell Grants don't affect students' decisions about where to go to college.
"I'm on panels, I make people angry. I don't mean to," he said.
Shugart is in the forefront of a national conversation that challenges the traditional, romantic notions of college—as in brick and ivy, late-night study sessions, fraternity pranks, students hell-bent on changing the world. Shugart is fond of pointing out that only 17 percent of college students fit this sentimental stereotype—going to school full time, living on campus, completing a four-year degree at one institution.
Community colleges aren't Yale or Stanford. They cater to the mundane parts of the college experience that don't show up in the movies. Their aim is to quickly and efficiently give students the skills they need to get a job with a decent salary. They train people for stable careers in accounting, electronics, nursing, and information technology. Their administrators use words like "competencies."
"We're really talking about people on the margins and institutions that have long been on the margins of higher education," said Joshua Wyner, who runs the Aspen contest.
These marginal students are the target of Obama's lofty goal to double college completions by 2020. A-grade students don't need a White House initiative to pull together a college application. C-grade students might. They are the kids who can't get into four-year colleges and probably can't afford them anyway. They might have children and part-time jobs. They usually need some kind of "remediation" or "developmental education"—noncredit classes that teach them what they were supposed to have learned in high school.

In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Many scientists feel that the ID movement is an attempt to locate gaps in our scientific knowledge and then to presume those gaps can only be filled by intervention of an external intelligence. It is important to note that ID leaders do not view their work this way.
Over the past two decades, the intelligent design movement has been working diligently to offer a parallel version of modern science, one that can scientifically show God at work in creation.
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the controversy in evangelicalism about evolution. Is this a "culture war" issue?
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
In this video, five notable scientists (John Polkinghorne, David Wilkinson, Rodney Holder, Peter Williams and Graham Swinerd) offer their perspective on the strengths and limitations of the fine-tuning argument as a pointer to God.
In this short video, physicist Ard Louis expresses some doubts about Intelligent Design, noting that his primary resistance to the movement is based on theological grounds rather than science.
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright explores how the ancient Jewish audience read Genesis before and up to the time that Jesus arrived. He asserts that readers of Genesis today who focus simply on the number of days of creation and whether there is evidence in the text pointing to an old or new earth—are in effect not reading the complete text.
I am asked all the time to explain, in a nutshell, why irreducible complexity is not a valid argument in favor of intelligent design. However, I have never heard anyone put it in a more cogent form than Oxford biophysicist Ard Louis in this video.
In this video clip, Oxford University biophysicist, Ard Louis posits that one of the reasons Christians are hostile to evolution is that they latch onto a particular definition, which puts it in conflict with their theological convictions.

Press Release2012-11-07
First Real-time Distribution Chain Management Product Closes the Loop Between Supply and Demand
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Nov. 7, 2012 – International Business Systems (IBS), a global leading integrated ERP and supply chain provider, today announced it has globally launched Dynaman advanced warehouse management solution designed solely for the mid-market.
"The supply chain is evolving at an unprecedented pace especially for mid-market companies, as customers and trading partners demand more services, visibility and value in shorter delivery times at a lower cost," said Doug Braun, chief executive officer, IBS. "IBS Dynaman has the power and functionality to meet these demands today, and the configurability to address unforeseen changes as business evolves at a price that distributors can afford."
Dynaman, which has been used successfully in the Benelux region for 20 years by industry leaders including 2XL, DSV, Conad, Stockhabo, O. Smeding, Dematra, Alidis and Euro-Fitting Management, is a warehouse management system (WMS) that gives companies full control over their distribution operations – managing the complexity of the supply chain with advanced WMS and MES features, but also with a focus on ease-of-use, adaptability and flexibility.
"Dynaman was the most functionally complete WMS solution capable of supporting our business to business and direct to consumer business models," said Jean Van Den Poel, chief executive officer, 2XL. "We have a challenging multi-warehouse environment with more than 52,000 pallets that mandated consigned inventory support, full track and trace capabilities and a high level of customer service. Dynaman delivered a 35 percent savings in transport costs; stock accuracy of 99.3 percent; improved lead times for multi modal transport and a significant improvement of KPIs."
IBS Dynaman has proven depth and breadth of functionality to uniquely support 3PL business models – from managing multiple inventory owners across multiple warehouses, to managing and supporting customer specific handling request, across diverse and complex logistics networks – and continually drive growth and flexibility through the 3PL supply-chain.
IBS Dynaman's open architecture makes it easy to integrate/interface with ERP and material handling solutions and is engineered to provide strict process control, data accuracy and complete visibility. Irrespective of how IBS Dynaman is deployed - on-premise or in the cloud – it is proven to drive value across the supply chain by increasing efficiency, maximizing customer service, optimizing space and minimizing inventory costs.
IBS Dynaman's flexible rules-based engine controls the movement and storage of materials within a warehouse and processes the associated transactions, including shipping, receiving, put-away, picking, wave management, dock-to-stock and stock-to-dock cycle counting, reporting and analytics. It also directs and optimizes stock put-away based on real-time information about the status of bin utilization. IBS Dynaman will host a webinar about making your warehouse your biggest asset on November 14 at 11 a.m. ET.

These 569 jeans are very uncomfortable compared to the ones I was wearing while walbed the changes, she looked like she was caught in a lie and finally said others had complained as well.

Those are about equal in strength so you may as well go with the angle to save a little money. As another advantage for the angle is you can paint both sides so it may last longer than the tube if rust is an issue.
With the square tube you may get away without strapping the legs, depending how beefy you build it. With angle your defiantly gonna have too, just due to small surface area of welding will enable those legs to wiggle like spaghetti. Then you gotta buy material to strap em. Personally I prefer tubing over angle in a situation like this hands down. Just my opinion tho.

What size is the table top? What thickness? I have a 30" x 60" x 1/2" welding table and I use 2x2x.120 square legs with some angle between the legs to stabilize. Plenty strong.
That is thick angle so it will resist twisting. Still word like to know your final plans.MillerMatic 251

WOW, what are going to be putting on that table 18 or 20 elephants.
Unless you are going to be putting massive amounts of weight on the table, the angle will be just fine.
Do a little research and see how much weight it would take to twist or buckle 3x3x.250 angle from a vertical positionJIM

Almost any question which starts with which is stronger etc is suspect. You should see "what size air line" on garage forums. None of it makes squat and there are good benchs and poor ones made from each.
I hate the shelf low, I want it up so it stays cleaner and can sweep under it. The weld connection at the corners is basically insignificant. They usually don't need several cross braces and gussets at the corners.
Personally wouldn't use either but 2x2 tubing. Half the cost again. Even angle, with braced/shelf you would need to measure the crush in tons or 1000's vs pounds,,

I made 100's of benches, had a modular system with jigs for the legs, way before dig cams but this is a mockup of it basically with red for a little weld. I gang cut the parts at the yard but my helper could put 3 together to finish in a morning.
The customer wanted tube, I changed the design a bit when I submitted a proto and it looked so much better than the competitor I got it even with a few $ higher price.

Tube looks a bit nicer. My own are angle just scrapped together from a couple jobs, never did get around to deliberately designing a bench. I have worked where we had a plate across 2 big sawhorses, that worked really good except they set the location haphazardly left footed.
In a small garage a 30x60 is sufficient, you can reach across it and walk around is easy. Anything bigger I frame up on the floor. Also,,, no holes in top for clamps, its an idea that seems better than is except for specialized deals, these get used for all kinds of work not just welding, don't want dirt falling thru as well as tools, can wipe up a spill.
I stuck a grate and can on mine, finally built a hopper. It blew soot under the bench and I finally fixed it, now making a simple cut doesn't mean sweeping the floor. On a portable bench probably wouldn't bother with electric.

Yube Cube Media Storage Unit
A modular furniture system that's quick, simple and fun to use.
The Yube Cube Media Storage Unit includes 6 Yubes, 3 sets of feet, 6 shelves & 3 polyglass doors.
Four sides snap together with a slide-in back; steel frame locks and corner clips push into place to make a rigid structure. The Yube will grow on you in every way. Stack them up to build the structure you need, or tear it apart and do it again somewhere else; it's that simple. And it's fun to personalize with your own customized doors and accessories that are unique to you. The frames of the Yube are made from Woodlite, a proprietary compound of non-toxic moldable plastic mixed with Bamboo, the planet's fastest growing renewable wood resource.
Woodlite utilizes 20%-30% less non-renewable resources than similarly molded products. It even smells good unlike regular plastic, there is a pleasing light sweet aroma to remind you this is no ordinary material. Being almost edible, the Yube outer panels you see are made from Sugarcane, only someone got there first to extract the sweet juice. Rather than burn the remaining fiber as waste, it's pulped for reuse and pressed into Yube panels. As with many natural materials, each panel displays it's own unique pattern.
Dimensions: 14"L x 43"W x 30"H; 43 lbs.

An Orangutan Experience in Tanjung Putting, Indonesia
Posted on : 11 December 2012
Categories : Hiking, Trekking, and Eco - Adventure
When I received the schedule for my trip to Indonesia one of the first places it said we would visit was Tanjung Putting, which was on the island of Kalimantan. I had never heard of these places before but knew we were going to see wild Orangutans and was excited to visit. Once in Indonesia I heard a couple people say "Borneo". Previous to this I wasn't sure where I thought Borneo was and I kind of thought it was its own country and then I found out that Kalimantan was the Indonesian word for Borneo and in fact that is where the Tanjung Putting National Park was located. We were going to Borneo!
I then learned that three different countries own pieces of the island of Borneo with the biggest chunk belonging to Indonesia and a smaller bit belonging to Malaysia and oddly enough when most people reference "Borneo" it is the Malay side that they are talking about.
To get to Tanjung Putting we flew from Jakarta to Pankalang Bun then drove to Port Kumai where we boarded two Klotok boats that would be our home for the next 2 days. Called Klotok because of the sound the boats make going down the river, I quickly applied my bug spray and we got on our way chugging through the harbour, then down the Sekonyer River.
Over the next two days we did and saw some amazing things. Starting with a visit to a Reforestation camp along the river where everyone on our tour planted a tree. I chose the type of tree that grows fruit, which is good not only for humans to eat but also a favorite of the wild Orangutans in the area. We visited three different ranger stations where we saw Orangutan feedings and from time to time we would even see them hanging out along the river.
Not only did we see Orangutans but we also saw, monkeys, lots of pretty birds and crazy bugs and we also saw the Proboscis monkey with huge funny looking noses. We were also visited by Fred Galdikas, the son of Beirute Galdikas (who originally started the foundation for the Orangutans in Tanjung Putting in the 1970s). Fred is now taking part in running the organization with his mother and taking care of the Orangutans. It was a treat to meet him and talk to him and ask questions about the great work that he, his mother and family do for the animals.
We ate all our meals on the Klotok, which were prepared with love in the hull of our boat by a few local ladies. Everything was made from scratch from the delicious sambal sauce to the most amazing friend bananas I have ever eaten in my whole entire life. Each time we ate we had quite the feast and I am pretty sure there were never any leftovers.
Aside from a few bug bites, visiting Tanjung Putting was an amazing experience and probably one of my favorite things out of everything that I saw and did in Indonesia. I would definitely recommended it as something to do anyone visiting.

Melissa Krivachek Biography
Melissa Krivachek Segment Proposal
(Specifically for Television Producers)
The following is the typical process you can expect from Melissa Krivachek's office:
Within the first 60 seconds of the call we got down to business - serious business. She'll cut through any BS that you have standing in your way and doesn't take any excuse that may come out of your mouth.
After 90 minutes on the phone; I had an action plan laid out for all of 2014. She taught me what my next logical step should be and why I should be doing it today.
She also beat it into me that I'm the only one standing in my way and that has made all the difference in my career.
Thank you Melissa! Those 90 minutes were priceless! I never kept track of my sales goals or my daily goals but she always talks about how success leaves clues. After diving into the materials, within the first week, I made $1,000. AND I started building products of my own because I had clarity in what I wanted to provide. I wasn't making money in my business because I was a "wantrepreneur" - I'll admit it. Now my coaching business is growing almost on a daily basis, I'm continuously tracking my goals, obtaining more speaking engagements, networking with a purpose, and getting booked on radio spots through out of the box tactics that set me apart from everyone else. Within the first month of joining this course, I tripled my sales and it paid for itself! Hands down the best investment I've ever made. What are you waiting for?
Melissa's confidence, tenacity and genuineness are just a few traits that make her so super successful and a person you want to be around. Well before I joined the group, Melissa showed her personal interest and support which is what sets her apart from other business and personal development coaches.
After joining her group, Melissa not only over-delivered in every aspect, but she showed me a different perspective, provided me with better alternatives and as a result, I am on track to not only meet, but to exceed the goals set for my business AND life. After all, Melissa is a big believer in achieving a balance, and she helps her clients do just that.
I highly recommend working with Melissa and joining the Baller on Demand group because you will WANT TO improve, to get out of your comfort zone and reach for your highly-set goals - and will indeed see the real difference and real results!
Location: Congers, New York
Melissa has out of the box thinking and really gets to you when she challenges you and makes you realize wishing doesn't produce results. She holds you accountable for the goals you set, and whenever you are thinking of failing, she brings you back on track.
I finally hired Melissa as my coach in December 2013 and started working with her. I have made great progress since and actually making my dream come true in a month.
I would recommend Melissa for anyone who is looking to get to their next level of success. Big BOOM (my word for encouragement) for Melissa :)
The conversation that I will never forget with Melissa is the one where we talked about her own personal struggles in her entrepreneurial journey. I remember talking for two hours with Melissa about overcoming odds and making believers out of people who thought she was never going to make it. Melissa, you rock and there's nothing sweeter than proving haters wrong.
Melissa made me realize how important is having a coach in the journey of success and how essential it is to surround yourself with people who are positive and smarter than you.
What makes Melissa different from other coaches is that she has hit rock bottom only to get back up taking massive action towards success.
If you haven't talked to Melissa, I don't know what you are waiting for :)
Across online social circles, Melissa has built a strong (and deserved) reputation as someone with vision and diligence – someone who gets things done! I have no hesitation in recommending Melissa and know that she will always give of her best in any endeavour.
Melissa is very intuitive, she cuts through any layers of doubt or fear you have and provides you with a clear cut plan of attack that delivers results every time.
I would highly recommend Melissa for her services as she had a substantial impact on my business. I will work with Melissa again in the future!
Her expertise is top-notch and is all tested by her in advance so she knows what works. The value she provides to my business has proven to be far beyond the investment I made. I highly recommend her services as a business coach!
Location: Salt Lake City, Utah
I can't recommend Melissa highly enough.
Location: Richmond, Virginia

Your chances of surviving a sudden heart attack may depend on where you live; some American cities have survival rates five times higher than others. One difference can be 911 dispatchers.
If they coach someone over the phone to give CPR, the chance of surviving goes up. There's now a push to make it universal, but some cities are slow to implement the necessary training.

Comments On Sep 25, 2014:I've used Thor MX Socks for quite a while now and love them. They are pretty thick which gives a little extra cushion. The short length is perfect for knee pads. The long is not so great as it normally rides down and then overfills the knee zone requiring constant adjustment. The calf length for the short was a little lower on the latest pair but still adequate for knee pads. I don't wear knee braces and can't say how they do with those.

Comments On Feb 05, 2014:The sock is very comfy a little on the thick side, but makes your boots fit more snug for a comfortable fit. I'm on my second pair the only complaint is I start to get holes in the toes a little early and they tend to slide down more than others.

Comments On Oct 18, 2013:Comfy socks that I wore all day in my Tech 8s. Awesome support and cushioning and they didn't slide down my leg AT ALL. Even comfy enough to wear with my street shoes after a day of riding. Good thing I got two pairs, I might need to get a couple more though.

Situated close the Vanoise park, Saint-François Longchamp is the first ski resort you come to in the Maurienne Valley after leaving the motorway, 15 km from the A43.
The slopes in Saint-François Longchamp together with Valmorel en Tarentaise form the Grand Domaine ski area with 160 km of pistes and 83 runs for all levels of skier. It is possible there to pass from one mountain to another and ski down 1,300 metres from one side of Savoie to the other. In addition to ease of access Saint-François Longchamp also has a good snow and sunshine record.
The whole area is a great choice for beginners and intermediates with more easy slopes on the Saint-Francois. However there is enough challenging slopes to keep competent skiers interested for a week. Experienced boarders can try the boardercross course and half-pipe in the snowpark.
This modern, purpose built family resort, situated only 60 km east of Chambery, is made of small apartments houses. All services are available: ski school, restaurants, shops, banks, doctors and chemist.

Are there any teens on this site?
I ask this because I am a 17 year old frustrated by her old habits. It's summer and I can admit to having many idle days sitting in front of my computer, bored. So bored as I am, I often resort to FB (facebook), which as great as it CAN be, ends up becoming a forum for complaints, beauty affirmation, and simply things that aren't that fulfilling.
Are there any teens on this site that share the same disappointment. I wish FB was more of a place where I could share my ideas with friends...
That's why I love this site, but I just have to know how many teens are cruising around this site?
Robin Lee
Aug 1 2012: This story sounds horribly familiar for me. I am 17, I'm half way through summer and I already feel I've wasted far too much time on Facebook or Youtube. I suppose we are just looking for something to do that will kill time and requires no effort. Given the chance to do anything we choose to do not very much at all. Its almost quite sad that in the summer in which I have time to make plans and do things, I'm sat in front of my computer screen looking at teenage melodrama unfolding live on Facebook.

So you can imagine my relief at finding TED. The kind of place where people come together to share ideas and knowledge, not just cheap laughs or drama in comments. Where intelligence is celebrated and its users all seem to have a genuine interest in their world. I couldn't agree more with Dejay: This has reaffirmed my faith in humanity. We are the future of world and if there are more like i see in these conversation, people with a passion for knowledge and learning, then the future is indeed bright. People of TED I salute you.
Aug 2 2012: Totally agree with you, my friends think its wierd to like to hear talks, and often tell me I am too inteligent to handle so this didnt only reafirm my faith in humanity, it also did with my faith in my self.Jul 15 2012: Hey hey hey :)
I'm 17 years young and reading all these comments from like-minded, intelligent, resolute souls has boosted by hope on humanity and my mood so thank y'all for that!
You know this world really is putting too many distractions (social networking sites, jersey shore etc) for young teens, and the rapidly growing materialistic world is changing and advancing so fast that I think sometimes all we can do is fight to keep up.
But stop for a moment, and think, if these external forces around you do not withhold enough intellectual, meaningful quality to stimulate your mind, then you naturally seek, and attract things that do.
We can't expect everyone in the world to be like that, but the main thing is, in this time of internet, we have the ability and resources to come together, to find like-minded people to make a difference. It is a revolution of a global community, a learning revolution!
We may be a minority, but we have the ability to come together, WORK together and to make a difference!
So thank you TED, and thank you 'nature's: law of attraction' for bringing me to minds like myself.
And thank y'all for existing ^_^
I think the next step, is joining forces, working in harmony for a definite goal & purpose.
Sophie Meyer
Jul 12 2012: Hi Koreen, my name is Sophie and I am also a frustrated 17 year old and although my frustration doesn't stem directly from FB as I am not on the site, I feel keenly the lack of informed, intelligent, stimulating conversation among teens. With all the social communication outlets available to our generation (texting, FB, twitter, YouTube, tumble etc.) our conversations have become more focused on trivial matters and not our impact on the future.
- +4
Now I'm not saying that all talk of celebrity behavior, Internet trends, teen social life and the like is bad, I merely mean that it should not be the sole topic of conversation. I have observed that conversation among my friends and others face to face and over the Internet focuses on what we are fed by the media, advertising and what we observe on the Internet and TV. These conversations not only lack substance but also can become mean spirited and close-minded leaving me, like you, with an unfulfilled feeling. I find that most of the intelligent discussions I have with people my own age are the result of a class lecture or of my own instigation.
I am relatively new to this site but not as new to the material on here. I am on my school's speech and debate team and I saw another student give Ken Robinson's speech. I think TED is an amazing idea that renews my faith in humanity I only wish one, they had more talks on empathy and two there were more people my age on here to share with. Judging from the small number of comments, there are indeed precious few teens here, considering this is the internet and most teens spend large amounts of time on the internet. I wish there was a FB for foreword thinking teens, for those teens that want to have TED-esque conversations without the distraction (because believe me I completely understand the insane internet time hole, YouTube being my warp of choice) and let down of trying to converse with or ignore those who want to have a different type of conversation.
Aug 2 2012: I loved that expression: unfulfilled feeling... Im chilean and I dont speak english very good. But though, I felt identificated with every word you said, its like you talked and taught me how to express everything that makes me, me. Im 14 and really different to others, in this exact moment a friend of mine came here and looked at me as if I was a genious in extintion, she doesnt know these page but she understood immediatly that I had nothing to do in here. I wonderr of you could answer me this question: Am I more intelligent that my friends? ... they make me feel like I am, and Im scared of it
Fritzie -
Jul 7 2012: There are quite a number of teens here, you will find, who converse in a way that one wouldn't recognize their age. There are others who pose questions that identify them as teens in the sense that they ask foreward looking questions about university or something like that or they offer a perspective in which they identify themselves as teens. An example is that there is a middle schooler participating in the featured discussion about bullying, offering his own strategies on the school ground.

Jul 16 2012: Fritzie...what are YOU doing here??? LOL:>)
I agree...there are many teens participating in TED discussion, and we would not know they were teens if they didn't tell us, because they are insightful, very intelligent and aware.....AWESOME!!! I'm very impressed with the teens I have interacted with...... Fonkou, Rob (I know you're not a teen, but not that far away) and I've seen Dejay "dancing" around TED. I'm very impressed with the enthusiasm of these young people, and looking forward to more discussion. There are a LOT more teens interacting on TED, and I LOVE it!!!Aug 6 2012: Hello.
I am 18 years old as well. I understand your feeling of isolation from your age group, as well as the developing (for lack of a better term) arrogance.
It's difficult. The rest of our age group, heck, even the world, seems to be fluttering about aimlessly. Precious few people seem willing to talk in depth about anything. Don't despair though, they're out there. You'll find them, though you may have to seek them out. They can become some of the most wonderful friends you'll ever meet. They will help you reach new levels of understanding and development.
A word of caution though; beware that feeling of superiority. You are special, and likely more intelligent than many of your friends. Don't look down at them though. Every individual, no matter how frivolous or uninspired, has something to teach. They have feelings, emotions, and thoughts as well. Treat them with kindness and empathy. Do your best to understand them, and why they are who they are. Learn from them, and never belittle them. And if you can, try to coax them to grow a little. Never force it, but gently touch upon it.
Good luck to you all in your endeavors. I hope that someday I have the chance to meet some of you in person.Aug 2 2012: Hey, I am 14 and Im so grateful I saw this conversation before it ended up in 4 days, 18 hours and 38 minutes. I thought I was the only strange girl in this whole world that liked things besides facebook or instagram. I watch every week the new talks that appear and get impressed of the amazing people that stands on that scenary every day, I just want to be one of them. Your comment sounded extremely familiar to me and in some way I felt Im not alone, somewhere, thousands of kilometers from me there are teenagers who feel wierd for liking their dad´s talks app. Im chilean.
Aug 2 2012: Ignacia,
You are not alone, and it's ok to be considered "strange" by some people, if that means you are really exploring the life experience. I've been "strange" for a very long time, and I'm loving it!!! Welcome to TED:>)
BTW, I don't even know what "instagram" is....that's how "strange" I am....LOL:>)

Aug 2 2012: Ignancia, neither of my daughters had Facebook accounts until they were at university. Many young people are interested in ideas and not interested in light chit chat.Jul 7 2012: I am a 19 year old who only recently came upon this site. Unfortunately though I don't think that I really share the disappointment of being bored, especially when there are so many things to contemplate about and learn about.
- +1
I don't know how many teens view sites such as this, and though at times it may not feel like very many, there are certainly more than we think. Many people may visit sites and watch videos, perhaps even with some regularity, but not necessarily comment. In fact, that's how I myself was for the most part, for various reasons. I only know of one person that is about my age who watches these videos, and only because I wanted to share a video with him, otherwise I wouldn't have known.
I only happened across this forum because I wandered on to "Ken Robinson's claim that school kills creativity" video. I'm very interested in finding ways to improve the current school system in the US or to perhaps enforce an entirely different system altogether. I value learning, and knowledge, and I believe that people can become better overall if we learn the interconnections of all things and learn about countless subjects in interdisciplinary ways. To view subjects as separate and unrelated is a folly. That's just one of the many reasons though that I'm on this site.
If you don't mind my asking, outside of boredom, you said that you love this site and it seems to give you satisfaction; why do you think that is? What is it that you hope to accomplish by coming to such a site? Because in doesn't seem to me that it's just a treatment for boredom, though that may be a contributing factor.
Jul 9 2012: Hi I am 19 as well and I came to this site to see the different ideas people had and everythingAug 1 2012: I'm 18 and I was originally attracted to this website after watching a category of TED videos called "Smart Laughs" on Netflix. I greatly enjoyed it and valued the witty humor while at the same time learning something new.
To respond to your question: What is it that you hope to accomplish by coming to such a site? I would say it's to grow my mind by listening to smart people sharing their knowledge, creative insights, and point of view. I'm hoping to get my mind in "motion," which means occupying my head with REAL world problems and not insignificant teenage drama.
I believe that many teenagers have a greater mental and creative capacity than that which they are given credit for and I think that to channel this into something fairly useless in the long run (social networking) is a huge waste of human potential.
TED is basically an inspiration to go into the world and invent some ingenious ideas of my own :)Aug 1 2012: Hey, I'm 16 and I was recently introduced to this website through my grandparents. I don't have much to add to this conversation besides myself as a statistic: one more teen enjoying ted. I couldn't agree more with the opinions of Robin, Dejay, and others, though I would like to ask one more question, possibly an ignorant one from simply not spending enough time on this website. Is it possible to connect/chat with other members in a fashion alike to facebook's messaging/chat system? If ted is really the intellectual's book of faces, wouldn't it be nice to be able to create online friendships such as the ones (despite their transience) founded through facebook? Just a thought, since I'm as interested in the members of ted as the fascinating lectures posted here.
Regards, Chris. (And message me if it is a possibility-I don't know the limits of this site)
Aug 2 2012: Chris,
There are no ignorant questions.
Go to your profile...."edit profile"....you will see an option...."who can contact you"....if you choose "everyone" (or whatever it says), then other members of TED can contact you through the TED e-mail system. Check out my profile...see above my photo, it says "send Colleen an e-mail"? You simply have to choose that option under your own profile:>) Welcome to TED and have fun:>)
Now I need to get off this site because I'm not a teenager!!! LOL:>)Aug 1 2012: I think if you are genuinely interested in knowledge and mental growth than you will unconsciously attract people and situations that complement your personality and temperament. However, in the event that someone really doesn't have many "outlets" for their mind or people to share their ideas with, they can look forward to attending college where people tend to attract others like themselves and then if you really are an intellectual, you will likely meet other like minded people.Jul 7 2012: Teen here! And I completely agree! Facebook is so boring. I don't want to say I am better than the people on there but all they care about are likes. I am 16:)
Jul 9 2012: Hey and Facebook does get boring at times. I am 19

I felt in this talk there are many teens cruising around this site, but I can't find Koreans(yeah im korean,,,)
I'm in this site to show my ideas, and see many people's idea all around the world(teens to adults).
Sophie B.
Aug 6 2012: I'm 14 and I love this site! There are so many great people with so many great ideas. When I'm bored, I come here and watch talks about real, meaningful topics. I wouldn't know about FB as I've never been on it, but it seems like a total time-waster. I'm a homeschooler, so I don't really have to deal with all that teenage drama. Most of my friends are really down to earth, intelligent people. It's still nice to know that there are so many like-minded teens out there.

Hamza Merzic
Aug 3 2012: Hi. I'm 19 years old and I am from a small country in south-eastern Europe (Balkans) called Bosnia and Herzegovina. I often visit this website, and the main reason I do so is because I share most of the opinions with people here, and for those whom I don't, I respect theirs.
- +1
Also, I enjoy seeing variety of thoughts. I first started coming here because I feel I lack something important, because I want to do something interesting but I don't have the ground knowledge nor the idea I could pursue... And the reason I am commenting here is because I share the same opinion with Sir Ken Robinson for a long period of time.
I was a Math Olympian, and because of that I had a privilege to enroll in some aspects of creative learning, I often skipped school (for various competitions, and preparations) and that's one of the greatest things that could happen to me, because I did what I loved and could do more creative labor, rather than the mechanical one our educational system preaches. Because of that, I had always encouraged peers to do what they love and to not be afraid of making mistakes. But in the community we are now, other, mainly opposite things are encouraged, and that's what always gets me down.
Sometimes I think that our minds are becoming more and more perverted, because we embrace and value only material and completely wrong ideas and pursue wrong causes, and the values, the universal values which were always (rationally of course) encouraged, are now stomped and considered wrong, and the people who think that way are getting marked.
I also agree with you, and am frustrated by social networks becoming necessities. I don't feel the urge to say why Facebook is a waste of time, because all of us know this. It's sad when we get caught up in this and we start caring so much what others think, we try to be good with everyone, and start becoming as others want us to be. Above all, we lose a lot of the precious time we could use to self-improve, create and really enjoy!Aug 3 2012: Oh this will be fun. I've never a circlejerk before.
YES, it is SO hard being young and liking stuff that not other people like. Sometimes it feels so hard live in a world of barbarians who discuss matters that I'm not interested in. But finally - salvation! Teenagers who are like me! We truly are a special, better generation. At least, the ones of us who can rub two brain cells together are. I totally (xoxo) feel your pain.
Being so different from the norm is SO hard.
Ken brown
Aug 2 2012: This may sound like a silly idea but why not ask TED to setup a lobby just for your age range that way you can have discussions that you guys think are important to your age ranges but it's only open to you guys,a sort of private area,it doesn't mean that you can't cruise the other conversations,it just means new scanners might want to ease in?
- +1
Idk,it just popped into my head,what do you think?Jul 30 2012: You're not alone! I'm 14.
Don't feel so bad about regaining bad habits over the summer. I'm sure everyone else is just like you.
The summer is great in that it gives us time to do things.
Im pretty sure every teen on here can agree that at the beginning of summer we make plans to never be bored and waste all that precious time we want during the school year. But of course, some time in the beginning of summer, that all falls to pieces. So we resort to the internet. And most of us resort to facebook because everyone pretty much has one and 'surely someone out there has something to say, right?'
When in reality every kid on there is just like you- at least in that they're bored to tears.
One website filled with the bored wall posts of every bored kid out there.
Stimulating, right?
Even when it's not summer, Facebook is still a waste or time. The majority of my 'friends' on facebook are people I hardly know. The only thing we've got in common is we go to the same school. The good thing about TED is you can seek out your interests, bring your friends into the community, and share your ideas with people you don't know in the community.
Actually, I think a lot of websites are like that. Like youtube, or tumblr...
In theory, Facebook is supposed to be like that too, but I think part of the reason why it's so dull is because you're surrounded by people that you only partially know. You feel obligated to accept their friend requests because you have to live with them, you send friend requests in return because you want to be active on the site.
And everyone is afraid to go past the surface in their personalities because they're surrounded by people they only vaguely know.
On other sites, the state of being anonymous allows people to open up and be interesting because the internet doesn't care what your opinion on facebook is. Subtly insulting you facebook friends might rub someone the wrong way on facebook though. And then you have to talk to them later.
Seth Baker
Aug 2 2012: On Facebook, you are not allowed to open up and be interesting because you don't want to insult anyone (or look like an idiot). Perfect illustration of Sir Ken Robinson's "If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original" quote. FB is terrible, it will swallow our souls! The solution is easy, however: go outside.Jul 17 2012: Then I guess I'm similar to you. The average things kids at my school talk about don't really interest me at all and seems to just be repetitive. It seems like all anybody cares about is video games and making disgusting jokes all the time. Not to mention the fact that everybody tries to act "gangster". It really is sad to watch this generation and my fellow student's go down the drain for such stupid reasons. Although, most of you are 15 or older and I'm only 13 so I probably don't qualify for this conversation.
- +1
Aug 2 2012: I am only 14 and starting loving TED when I was twelve. Im also tired of my classmates conversations, just fashion and movie stars and everyone tries to act as if they were better than the other. I often think there must be a topic revolution so they just stop talking about superficial stuff, but yeah it wont happen so meanwhile I will feel myself confortable with who I am and the most of all, be part of these amazing teenagers that we all are... There´s people like me everywhere, thats a huge relief.
Aug 2 2012: It really is annoying isn't it. What's even worse, is that I see other intelligent kids get sucked into the whole "gangster" /"fashion" trend and they start to ruin themselves as well. I just tell myself that it's people like you and me that make the future work. That's what keeps me buy. I also want to go to Harvard someday, but that may be big wishing. Never the less, that hope is what keeps me curious and willing to learn. In case you were wondering, since you are Chilean, Harvard is the best, top of the line university in the United States. Who knows, maybe my wish will come true. I live in a small town, so there aren't to many people like me, but there are still some and that's also another factor that keeps me going.
Fritzie -
Aug 3 2012: It's best not to worry what other young people are wearing. Clothes and hair are typically not good predictors of what is happening between their ears.In terms of Harvard, kids come from small towns and big cities, from public schools and private schools...If that's your aim, just keep thinking, stay open-minded, and try not to get arrogant.

I get so bored of Facebook and Twitter, but I sort of find myself unconsciously switching back to it just to keep myself up to date.
That doesn't stop you from sharing your ideas on Facebook. If people have insightful comments or agree (or maybe disagree) they will say so. However, there is a sense of immaturity on Facebook and people just want to see gossip and trends etc.
Of course TED is a great place to display your ideas and receive insightful feedback. I'd love to hear some :)
If you get bored however, I recommend Stumbleupon. Great place to discover the Internet with your interests in mind.Jul 30 2012: Yeah, the summer does tend to be quite boring and FB doesn't really provide a respite from it for me as well- that's probably the reason I deleted my account. For me the summer tends to be quite boring, but not really all too different from regular life. At uni I also find the lack of intelligent conversation quite.... disturbing, the few groups that tend to have deeper thinkers also tend to be filled with very dull people, not stupid but dull. Its the same thing when I view comments on sites like YouTube, Reddit, forums, etc. quite intelligent people, but a lot of the same boring things. There isn't that feeling of originality, or ingenuity, besides what you gain from simple academic study, in their comments and discussions. Yeah, so back to the FB thing, like many of the previous posters: the idea of FB sounds like a great way too stave off boredom, but the reality isn't so (or at least as far as I have seen). Anyways as Deejay said "We may be a minority, but we have the ability to come together, WORK together and to make a difference!
So thank you TED, and thank you 'nature's: law of attraction' for bringing me to minds like myself.
And thank y'all for existing ^_^ ".

Reza.Jul 10 2012: I have a different educational background. I went to a Steiner school, two actually, but that makes little difference. Look it up. I'm 17 and I'm now in a state school and I don't like it.
Specifically to me, I wanted to do further maths, but wasn't really allowed, and if I were allowed then I'd have to learn it ALL on my own. I genuinely have been held back, and I'm going to find it hard to catch up.
So I definitely think that you should be encouraged and, more importantly, shown what you can do, e.g. A level choices.

Here's my problem:
In making corner posts for barbed wire fence I am using 4x9 steel posts spaced 8 foot. I need to set a diagonal 2" post for support between the two. It's always a 'hit and miss' on getting the right cope and angle between the two sizes and have wasted way too much pipe. How would the pros do this job? I've tried just using the good 'ol H configuration but it doesn't always hold up to tensioning. Certainly there has to be some sort of template one could use to get the copes right. If so any source ideas?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

welcome to the site. lots of great people here with lots to share.
the easyest methode would be lay the pipe in place and scribe it.
math would be another way, a string and one of those ajustable angel guides would be another..
perfect is not needed but close like within a few degrees, shold be good enough for the weld to cover.
sorry i cant give you a pro priceing but i would suspect matereals +30% and time at your going rate.
are you using stick or MIG to atach them ??thanks for the help
hope i helped
feel free to shoot me an e-mail direct i have time to chat. firstname.lastname@example.com
summer is here, plant a tree. if you don't have space or time to plant one sponsor some one else to plant one for you. a tree is an investment in our planet, help it out.

pipe templates
The easiest and fastest and cheapest(wasting pipe) way i do is save the cartoons from your sodawater or other beverage packs, cut it out to a square and roll it up to the size of pipe you are working with, tape or staple together and start cutting til you get your fit then transfer to pipe. works great for me ,and do not waste material .;

Each person has their own bracing method. Here's what mine has evolved to.
I use two vertical posts 7'6" apart and a short post another 6' out. I install a horizontal rail between the two full height posts so that the top of the horizontal is 46" off the ground. This insures the brace won't be in the way of tying 4"x48" netting wire.
The short post is installed 6' out at 1' off the ground and a diagonal brace is welding on top of it with the other end butt welded to the full height post at 46" off the ground. This way, it matches up with the horizontal bracing. At a 6' spacing, a 7'6" diagonal pipe hanges off the short postby 6" to 12".
All the cuts are 90 degree saddle cuts with the exception of one end of the diagonal brace and the top of the short post. If you do the math, you will find that both these two non-90 degree saddle cuts are at the same angle. It's something like 26 degrees. The triangle it makes is is 6' by 3'.
I use a ShurKut jig for the 90 degree saddle cuts and a home-made jig for the 26 degree cuts. This jig is home made and consists of two items. The first is the jig itself. I cut in on a mill using a 2 3/8" hole saw set at 26 degrees. It slides over the 2 3/8" pipe and I guide my torch around it and clean it up with an angle grinder. The second part is a "test fit jig". It's basically a piece of flat stock cut to 26 degrees and welded to a 6" piece of 2 3/8" pipe. I can lay this jig against my angled cut and check the fit, clean it up with the grinder, check the fit again, etc.
This allows me to make accurate angle saddle cuts fairly quickly. If the ground isn't level, I've found I can vary up to about 15 degrees and still make a decent fit.Millermatic 35

Some great information here, thanks.
On the saddle cuts you mention the ShurKut jig but I can't find any information on this. Do you know who makes it?
There's a little black book called the Pipe Welder's Handbook you can get for about 20 bucks or less and it has allkinds of cool formulas that are easy to understand. It's about the size of a 4x6 card. I'm sure you could find it on amazon or half.com. Otherwise, try making a template out of manilla folders. I've got a little farm in Texas and I feel your pain....literally.Matt Adams A&P, IA

There is free sofeware called 'tube miter' you can download off the net, it works in metric, but is easily converted to inches. The software will give you the templates (printed) for joints of any configuration up to 3.5 inches. I use it all the time, and it is worth looking into.Jonny

I stumbled on a really good program in another forum for coping pipe which may be the one you were referring to. In any case the first link is for online viewing and the second link is the executable program for download.
Check it out...

Here is the link to the Shur-Kut jig. You can find them at good welding supply stores.

Dan and I met through Christian Connection last April and married in July. We are so happy and inspired that we met. God in His good timing brought us together.
Christian Connection is a fantastic starting point for many single people hoping to meet other Christians so we thought it would be good to encourage others to take the opportunity to do the same.
