Why not someone tell the story of Bangladesh in TED?
Bangladesh is a young country that earned it's freedom from a repressive regime through a bloodbath. It's founding ideals had been those of a liberal, secular democracy. But for 4 decades the fate of Bangladesh oscillated between democracy and military rule. The story of Bangladesh remained a gradual takeover of the spirited and progressive society by Islamic fundamentalism. The political parties forgot the founding principles of the country and the sacrifice that its people made for it so that the traitors that once supported the massacre by Pakistani military could go unpunished and sometime even get to be ministers.
2013 is witnessing a historical movement by civil society in Bangladesh named Shahbag movement.
This is possibly the last chance for Bangladesh to win a decisive battle against religious fundamentalism and in favor of liberal democracy if not entirely secular. Can we accumulate our opinions about this remarkable social change by a largely Muslim population striking at the core of it's own religious extremism?
Feb 24 2013: I am not sure what will be the end result of this movement in near term but in long run I feel , this movement will have definite impact on the overall psyche of people which is...
In post 1975 era, the anti linberation fundamentalist forces being in power in disguise of military dictatorship and cantonment made democracy tried to bring a fundamentalist character to the country by taking out Secularism out of the constitution. They also twisted the history to confuse new generation. Until Shabagh Movement happened Politicians and even the so called Civil Society was not sure about IDENTITY awareness of New Generation.
Thanks goes to development of IT and information super highway......New Generation don't have any identity crisis. They are clear about the secular nature of Bengali Psyche. They know their enemy......they also could make the generation next awake i.e. Kids who are yet to start their journey along the information super highway got the wake up call for their own soul searching......which will have profound positive impact in days to come....
It also gave a clear message to the politicians that meddling up with negative forces of society for short term political gain will not be tolerated.
Feb 24 2013: I can understand your anguish Salim. It is one thing to fight when the enemy is outside and another thing when the enemy is inside. I don't think any political parties can be trusted here. But as you have rightly said, it is clear that the new generation has refused to live with a debatable identity and a misrepresented history.

Feb 25 2013: You are welcome Kate......and also thanks for your interest with something happening in my country as well your goodwill to support....
Some other beauty of this event is the spontaneous nature of participation.....while political parties spend money to bring people (it might be unique to my country ...) in their meetings , in this case its sponatenous rather who are participating spending money to help others....say one is buying a bottle of water sharing it with the person beside her/him !!!
Participation of women and kids are another big mark of it ..usually they tend to avoid political meetings......so the claim of opponent of this movement it being politically motivated or painting it as anti-religious is futile.
Age distribution of the mass is also another positive indicator.....pre-dominantly young girls and boys who seldom are interested about political issues are participating en mass......moreover usually in our society parents advises kids not go to such events.....it's exceptional from that perspective as well because partents are also participating.....say I went there number of times with my family.....
Bengalis living indifferent countries already expressed their solidarity with this movement .....things are happening in Australia as well....
Being an enlighten human like you , people of other countries can stand against any move by their own government which is against this Shabagh movement.....ThanksFeb 25 2013: Tahmina Anam of the Guardian explores the capital punishment demand by Shahbag warriors.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/feb/13/shahbag-protest-bangladesh-quader-mollahFeb 25 2013: Kate asks my friend Salim how can we in other countries support it. Salim is too proud and too gentleman to seek solidarity from friends of other countries, I guess. Sitting on the opposite side of the border and as a person who speaks Salim's language and for which people on either side of that border sacrificed their lives, I can say at least this.
Many of us in India, particularly in Bengal, see this upsurge as a just and democratic struggle coming up spontaneously and apolitically. Our children are refusing to live with misrepresented ideals and history. Like the bloody liberation struggle of Bangladesh of 1971, world watches over with caution and skepticism, India being no exception. That is possibly not a very good news.
What is very good news is that individuals and social media are taking the bull by its horns, some like Richa Jha are calling spade a spade. http://kafila.org/2013/02/23/india-sleept-through-a-revolution-in-bangladesh-richa-jha/
I am in absolute agreement with Richa but she possibly means English language print and televised media. In Kolkata, the most popular Bangla dailies are updating the news of this revolution with clear mandate in favor of Shahbag warriors. All noted Bengali intellectuals have publicly taken stand beside the Bangladeshis. But, alas, Bengal in India is just a state.
I am personally against capital punishment. But I have witnessed in my own country judiciary taking mass appeal for such a punishment for a heinous crime. So why not Bangladesh judiciary too?Feb 25 2013: Here comes more

Al-Jazzeera : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iobKDekfr-sFeb 24 2013: Thanks Pabitra for opening the discussion and keeping me in mind !
You already made long stroy short. However , would like to correct a bit....Shahbagh movement was started not by the civil society (as per the definition) , but by young generation....can say largely are Generation Y.
As you know in the fateful day of 15th August of 1975 , when the founding father of Bangladesh was killed along with almost entire family.....the regime of not only military rule but also fundamentalism started blooming with direct funding from military rulers and countries who were against our bloody fight for freedom in 1971 when 3.0 Mil people sacrificed their lives and 200K women were violated and tortured in the name of religion....They also took a very well planned strategy of implanting fundamentalism in the country..... over last 3 decade that anti libaration force were in power, at times as military ruler at times in disguise of democracy.
The killing and massacre done by Pakistani army couldn't happen to the extent as it happened , if they were not supported and helped by the funadmentalist section of Bangladesh......and those collaborators are known as RAJAKAR......
Over last 3/4 decades RAJAKARs become powerful being nurtured by power monger politicians.......The anti liberation force even changed the text of history book so that new generation are being kept in dark.... I myself have been frustrated so far until this Shabagh Movement started
It's an eye opener for me. It showed the power of internet and social media. The current government came to the power with absolute majority 4 years back and one of their election time commitments was to bring RAJAKARs under trial... The trial has been going on for quite sometime despite of national and international pressure ....
On 5th February one of the verdict came out....and the new generation started movement using social media that finally converted into mass protest
Thanks also to Kate ...will continue later
Feb 24 2013: Thank you Salim. We are fortunate to have you within us as you are presently living within the change. May I request you to publish here the links of your wonderful photos in Facebook that show the movement happening? Or if FB is not preferred by you will you take the extra trouble to upload the photos in indepenent photo sharing platform like Flickr and supply us the links?
I have read the accounts that a significant political party, BNP has come out in the clear in support of the fundamentalist leaders of Jamat by supporting their call for general strike. I have also read that fundamentalists under Jamat are openly attacking the protesters (killing Rajib Haidar in the process) and destroying pickets of protesters and national flag of Bangaladesh. How the youth of Shahbag movement are resisting that?
Most importantly I am hearing a question being pointed out towards Shahbag protesters which is about their principal demand of capital punishment for the 1971 perpetrators of rape and mayhem. How far do you think this demand can earn support of civilized world and international citizenry of modern times? The perpetrators were tried and sentenced for life already.
That said, I shall also like to give you the perspective of some of my fellow citizens about the same question with regard to the alleged rapists of Delhi bus rape incident. They said that they will only take my question as sincere if I ask it even after my own sister is gang raped and killed with the same brutality as the Delhi girl.
I look forward to your views my friend.
Feb 24 2013: You are welcome Pabitra....
With Shahbagh Movement few points become clear to everyone.....
Though Bangladesh is a country of 85% to 90% muslim population....people at large has more humanistic view in their practices, which has been proven by the Shahbagh incidence. A handful of bloggers called up a protest at Shahbagh on 5th February that finally turned in to a mammoth protest through the participation of people from all walk of life.
As you rightly said about the major opposition party, their mask has been unmasked through this movement. They stood beside the fanatic fundamentalist Jamat.....the rapist, killers, looters of 71!!!
Despite violent figght back of RAJAKAR Jamat and their supporters , Shahbagh Warriors still are on the path of non violence....e.g. the whole country Stood Stand Still for 3 minutes or lighted up millions of candles through out the country....while RAJAKARs and their supporter killed Rajeeb, Jafor and few others....
People everyday spontaneously going to Shahbagh and many staying overnight in the protest of violence of Rajakars and also with the demand of bringing collaborators of 71 under justice ensuring capital punishment...
Fundamentalists are trying to paint the movement of Shahbagh as movement against Allah....which is a damn lie....last Friday they attacked from mosque after Friday prayer....
People are more and more relying on FB , Twitter etc....to get information about the movement largely ignoring main stream media.....
Here comes few links (majority in Bangla , which is fine for you but for other interested friends will try to translate as much as possible).....
https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=493287707374418&set=pcb.493287967374392&type=1&theaterFeb 23 2013: Pabitra, have you checked this out? http://www.ted.com/tedx/events/4894
Feb 23 2013: I did. Interesting but it's not the story I want told. And the subtext of the story is that a person from a neighboring country wants the story told as much a Bangladeshi does.
Feb 23 2013: There seem to be two TED fellows from Bangladesh. Is either an appropriate person to bring forward the story of greatest interest to you?
If not, if you go to the Speaker's link above, there is a recommendation form where you can propose a speaker or topic you would love to hear about. Take a look.
Feb 23 2013: Thanks for the suggestion Fritzie. I have one name in mind, that of my friend Salim Solaiman, a rather adored TED commenter here. But I am not sure if he can find time or agree.
Bangladesh is one very unique country where people defended and died in course of that to uphold their right to speak and write their language, Bangla. Their sacrifice is celebrated as a World Mother Language Day on 21st February. This language is spoken in the Indian state of West Bengal, a result of British division of the subcontinent during August 1947. The national anthem of both Bangladesh and India are written by the same poet, Tagore.
As belonging to the same culture Bangladeshis are one of the most liberal, freedom loving and secular democratic people. Presently, the younger generation of Bangladesh are struggling to take their country back to 1971 when people of Bangladesh sacrificed their lives for secular democratic ideals, which history denied them sadly.
It will be a pity if that story is not told to inspire freedom loving people all over the world.
Btw, I don't see any link where I can suggest this topic.Feb 23 2013: Bottom left corner of the speaker's page to which the link is above. But, for your convenience: http://www.ted.com/nominate/speaker
Feb 23 2013: I checked it Fritzie. But it doesn't seem to allow me to suggest the topic.
Comment deleted
Feb 23 2013: Thanks. It is really amazing. I remember to have involved in a debate where a certain religion was being proposed to be superior to others and Islam was being denounced as written with extremists in mind. I have no religious affiliation despite my Hindu background but I opposed that line of argument. Shahbag movement reinforces my line of argument that despite what is written in religious texts it's culture that defines humanity.
I earnestly hope Salim will join this discussion.

GARDENING: Get A Room
Can any of you guess what this plant below is? Yes I do know I just want to see if you guys do.
I know I am in British Columbia but it isn't marijuana. It will have some interesting "blooms" on it in a little while. Come on guess. Or I am sure one of you super gardeners out there already knows what it is.

Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the uterus, bladder, small intestine and rectum. You can do Kegel exercises, also known as pelvic floor muscle training, discreetly just about anytime.
Start by understanding what Kegel exercises can do for you — then follow step-by-step instructions for contracting and relaxing your pelvic floor muscles.
Many factors can weaken your pelvic floor muscles, including pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, aging and being overweight.
You might benefit from doing Kegel exercises if you:
Kegel exercises can be done during pregnancy or after childbirth to try to prevent urinary incontinence. Kegel exercises — along with counseling and sex therapy — might also be helpful for women who have persistent difficulty reaching orgasm.
Keep in mind that Kegel exercises are less helpful for women who have severe urine leakage when they sneeze, cough or laugh. Also, Kegel exercises aren't helpful for women who unexpectedly leak small amounts of urine due to a full bladder (overflow incontinence).
It takes diligence to identify your pelvic floor muscles and learn how to contract and relax them. Here are some pointers:
Don't make a habit of using Kegel exercises to start and stop your urine stream. Doing Kegel exercises while emptying your bladder can actually weaken the muscles, as well as lead to incomplete emptying of the bladder — which increases the risk of a urinary tract infection.
Make Kegel exercises part of your daily routine. You can do Kegel exercises discreetly just about anytime, whether you're sitting at your desk or relaxing on the couch. You might make a practice of fitting in a set every time you do a routine task, such as checking email.
If you're having trouble doing Kegel exercises, don't be embarrassed to ask for help. Your doctor or other health care provider can give you important feedback so that you learn to isolate and exercise the correct muscles.
In some cases, biofeedback training might help. During a biofeedback session, your doctor or other health care provider inserts a small probe into your vagina or rectum. As you relax and contract your pelvic floor muscles, a monitor will measure and display your pelvic floor activity.
If you do Kegel exercises regularly, you can expect results — such as less frequent urine leakage — within about a few months. For continued benefits, make Kegel exercises a permanent part of your daily routine.

Do you already have the Lincoln Tig rig or are you thinking about buying one? If you already have it , have you used it yet? I don't see where it would really hurt anything to use it, but I'm not 100% sure. If you are looking to buy new, I would just by the Miller Tig set-up. I have a Bobcat 225 myself and have thought about getting a Tig but don't think it would be of much benefit to me since most of my welding takes place outside. Stay tuned I'm sure someone will answer this question soon enough. You might consider posting this on "Welding Discussions" too, the answer may come sooner.

I already have a lincoln tig module and contactor. Not sure if it is compatible.Thanks for the tip to post on "Welding Discussions". Have not used it yet.
Its fine to use, zero problems, basically its internals are identical to a Miller anyways.

In the series of articles entitled Dumbing Down Society, I described the many negative effects of High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) on general health. This high-powered sweetener is found in a great number of sugary processed foods such as jams, soft drinks and pre-packaged baked goods.
It is also found in other products that are not so sugary such as soups, breads, pasta sauces, cereals, frozen entrees, meat products, salad dressings and condiments. Research links HFCS to increasing rates of obesity and diabetes in North America, especially among children.
Fructose converts to fat more than any other sugar. And being a liquid, it passes much more quickly into the blood stream.

Midwest Living Review
Like few other places in Minnesota, the Iron Range feels infused with multiple cultures even several generations after immigrants came from across Europe with hopes for a fresh start working in its mines during the late 1800s. The blend of heritage shows in towns as small as Biwabik (BYE-wah-bick), population less than 1,000. Downtown architecture looks Bavarian, its name is derived from the Ojibwa word for "iron," and the statue in the town square celebrates a famous children's story about a Finnish boy and his friend who help a starving moose. As mining faded away, tourism stepped in with the region's biggest attraction, Giant's Ridge Resort, which draws year-round visitors to its wooded 500-foot hills. In the winter, skiers, snowboarders and tubers zip along the ridge, while warm weather draws hikers, mountain bikers and golfers who want to play the 36 holes sculpted around natural lakes, mine lakes and quarry pits. Because Iron Range towns are relatively close together, Biwabik also makes a good base camp for exploring regional attractions. It's less than half an hour to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in Eveleth; to eating pasties, potica (poh-TEE-sa) and homemade candy in Virginia; and the chance to go deep into the earth at Soudan Underground Mine State Park.

Romain Grosjean fears he won't be 100 percent ready for the upcoming season after losing valuable track-time in the rain on Thursday...
Romain Grosjean fears he won't be 100 percent ready for the upcoming season after losing valuable track-time in the rain on Thursday.
The Frenchman was in action on Day One of the final test at the Circuit de Catalunya but covered just 52 laps due to the poor weather.
Grosjean's best time for the day was over 10 seconds off the pace as the Lotus driver, who tested the team's DDRS device, did not set a time in the dry.
Although he will be back in action on Friday, more rain is forecast, adding to Grosjean's concerns that he won't be fully prepared for the new season.
"Not really," he said when asked if he would be ready another just one more day out on track.
"We spent quite a lot of time on doing things that was good for the team and the car, but normally the last testing is done for you to work with your engineers on fine-turning with the car to have a baseline set-up for Melbourne.
"And basically with that weather we had today, and tomorrow, this is not possible.
"So hopefully somehow it's dry tomorrow and we can work on a few things that we want to test and we know we cannot do them on the race weekend."

Crash Bang WallaceLibertarian political blog from Mark Wallace; political opinion, breaking news and exclusives
Thanks, Brian, but no thanksPosted on November 28, 2012
It would be in my interests for Brian Leveson to support statutory regulation of the press tomorrow.
As Guido Fawkes writes in the Wall Street Journal today, putting a legislative leash around the neck of the mainstream media will only have one effect – to drive a truth-hungry public to online outlets and blogs for real news and honest insight.
This has always happened. When the Warsaw Pact countries and the Soviet Union censored what could be published, people shipped in or built their own presses and produced samizdat – illicit, underground news-sheets and books that circulated in secret. It is notable that the Russian word "samizdat" literally means "self-published".
Samizdats were never expected to be subject to balance, they were explicitly written from a particular perspective and, most of all, they gloried in saying whatever they wanted – not saying what others demanded they say.
If, 50 years ago, people's hunger for a free speaking press was sufficient that they were willing to transport and conceal large pieces of industrial machinery, the internet will have a far easier job of it.
Information is a commodity in its own right. It can be bought and sold, it can be given away or stolen, its price can be increased or devalued. And just the same as any other commodity, the one thing that cannot be done to it is successful prohibition.
The problem – and those who dislike our free press do view it as a problem – is the twin, trickster forces of supply and demand. The more people are interested in something, the higher its price rises and the harder it is to keep secret. The harder you try to keep it secret, the larger the incentive becomes to leak it – be it for cash or cachet.
This is what happened with MPs' expenses. Yes, Heather Brooke fought a brilliant legal battle for the public's right to know, but the scandal really broke when the censorship practiced by Commons authorities created such a high-paying Black Market that an insider was willing to sell the data to the Daily Telegraph.
These forces are inevitable, irresistible and they won't be changed by legislating to make our press unfree. If the Daily Telegraph hadn't been in a position to buy and publish MPs' expenses, then someone else would have done so – on the internet, offshore and out of reach of the fat, black marker pens of Westminster's quiet censors.
For goodness' sake, the net filtering out forbidden commodities isn't even tight enough to catch guns, grenades and tonnes of drugs – can anyone really believe it could be made tight enough to catch something as small and as fleet of foot as knowledge?
So I, and Guido, and a thousand other blogs yet to be born would be in a pretty good position should Brian Leveson persuade the Government to end three hundred years of British press freedom. Advertising would increase, traffic would boom, and everyone would be able to feel every shade of smug about their latest Google Analytics numbers.
But you won't find me cheering for it. What would be the attraction of being a more widely read, or even a richer, libertarian in a country that has become less free? No, I'd rather miss out on the opportunity, thank you very much, Brian.

How to pay it all back?
The national debt of many countries has risen to astronomical levels, with debt to GDP percentages rising ever higher, can it ever be paid back?, if so, how?
Is there other ways out of this monstrous debt?
I , personally feel that a first step should be the prevention of printing more paper currency, and the people having a say in the decision making process.
Mar 7 2013: All "values" are falsely created by man, nothing has intrinsic value. Except life but we currently value that at $7.25 per hour
Mar 10 2013: Well then just give me all your belongings and will see how much you "value" them.
Mar 10 2013: Already did that there is only one thing in my house that i value and that is my dog. Everything else can burn in hell since it is the devil that clothes us
Mar 10 2013: You just stated you have a house, you have not gave me everything...Mar 10 2013: your profile picture was made before that i supposeMar 10 2013: Its currently being foreclosed on so it my 2 cars and 3 motorcycles, because I thought I valued them more then other.
But if you really want to do some good try this; but Shelby I dont think you care enough to end poverty
We can end poverty with $100,000. Do you think this would end poverty? So the fundamental part of Capitalism is that people have to make less money so other people can make more. This can be seen in today's current economy as the 99% vs. the 1% in America. What most Americans don't realize is that the 99% of Americas are also in the top 1% of the world.
Because I am able to run my business in a free market, my plan isto limit my employee's salary, as well as my own, to an amount no greater than $100,000 per year for life. I already have 3 business ventures that I am currently working to get off the ground. These businesses are as follows; One in Marketing, one in 3D printing, and one that can be best described somewhat as a Jiffy Lube for nail salons. As I've previously stated, my employee's and I will never make more than $100,000 a year in income. Furthermore, I plan to automate the jobs completed by my employees and create machines that will complete the work for them. However, I will still pay them their annual salary. I will be able to accomplish this with the capital received from the automated services my businesses will provide. As an employer, I don't really care who or what does the work as long as it gets done. With the future IT companies I plan to establish, I will be able to spread Wi-Fi coverage to everyone in the country, cheaper than it's already being done. In addition, I will also have the ability to offer more coverage in more places. I will show those employees how they can outsource their job to 3rd world workers, where they can basically double that person's income by only paying them a tenth of what I plan to pay my employees.Mar 10 2013: This will allow my employees to semi-retire and still complete all the necessary job requirements. Essentially, this method will enable me to rescue my employees as well as the 3rd world workers from a life of poverty. This can be seen as a trickledown effect, which current businesses like to pretend they already accomplish The best part about this plan is that my "semi-retired" employees will have the buying power. Therefore, they will buy from my company instead of from my competitors. Much like a lobbyist, I will be "bribing" my employees for their loyalty in the form of the semi-retired salary, which they will make for the rest of their lives. My employees will know the more they buy from me, the more people we can rescue from poverty.
Once I educate my employees on how money actually works, they will realize it is a juggling act and my enterprise will be the ultimate juggler. This will also allow the removal of government welfare programs, thus lowering everyone's tax rates. This will be effective simply because I will be paying people for doing nothing. From then on they can volunteer or spend their time completing more hospitable and fulfilling activities while having job security.
If 25% of the world companies and charities used this model instead of our current model how fast do you think we can end poverty?
I had to loose everything by my own choices, freely and willing to know that this is bigger then me, otherwise I could retire in pegnam, Maylasia tomorrow for less the my house and cars paymentsMar 10 2013: Picture was taking at the decent of my empire, of my own choosing and was taking when I got to see my best friend Angie marry her wife in DCMar 10 2013: Excuse me but we value life to the tune of $7.75 hour, you see life got a raise
Mar 10 2013: Is that 2013, I think my stat is from 2012
Mar 10 2013: You should update your regard for life to the current rate?Mar 10 2013: I know my value now, and it has no value man can give me....however I did lose my valueMar 7 2013: nobody have ever planned to pay it back. the plan was to borrow more and more as credibility goes up, due to economic progress. just like house owners borrowed more and more against their appreciating property.
you want people to have a say? they do have a say. and they are quite okay with things as they are. sure, they didn't want the recession. but spending money like crazy on debt? emptying the credit card, and applying for a new one? hell yeah! give me one more beer!

Mar 7 2013: Return to the gold standard. Every piece of Value Representation, aka money/currency, must be based on an amount of gold equivalent to its stated denomination. If the nation's gold reserves have a value of X dollars, then the nation cannot print more than X dollars of currency. Also, concurrently, abolish the Federal Reserve System and forgive all debts incurred under its reign.

edward long
Mar 8 2013: That is not true sir. Research will show there is plenty of gold to serve as the value standard for the whole earth. Look into it, don't take my word for it. Read chapter 7 of Ed Griffin's book called The Creature from Jekyll Island. Even I understood it! :-)Mar 8 2013: I would like an audit on our gold reserves…..
- +1
Mar 8 2013: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_reserve
Mar 8 2013: so it says, however, when was the last physical audit on our reserves by congress?Mar 8 2013: From here you can conduct your own research. You are on the right track. Germany was recently refused access to her considerable gold reserves being held for safekeeping by our Federal Reserve. Hmmm.
Mar 8 2013: it is because they've seen die hard 3!Mar 9 2013: It can't be paid back.
So don't worry about it.
Get rid of the monetary system. Let it die. Hope it does die.
Implement a fair, just system in its place that doesn't need crime, greed, inequality, poverty, slavery, war and death as its nourishment for survival.
That is an unjust, corrupt system that can never be made just, and.....
Certainly those are not the needs of everyone on earth.
Nothing costs money. Everything costs people.
TED Lover said it! "We need more people willing to..............."
It is us/US, people, the world over who get things done. It isn't money.
Things don't.........."get done".............because of money.
Things................don't get done".........because of money.
By getting out from under the monetary slave system, and also not accepting the new currency system that will be offered, after those in power completely destroy it anyway, just so they can offer you their "new and improved" one,
will give humans back their power.
This will happen because once it collapses, those in power will only be able to maintain their status and positions IF, humans once more accept a monetary system. Don't, and the power is yours.
There is a solution and that is it. No money. All Human Needs, become Universal Human Rights, provided freely by automated systems that are what technology was originally intended for. To ease human labor, provide more comfort, leisure, safety, and increase the intelligence of the masses. It wasn't meant for putting people out of work, pitting them against one another for survival, globally.
Without money, humans can properly, intelligently, wisely, and prudently manage the resources of the earth, which are currently being mismanaged, abused, wasted and controlled by those who do so for profit (money) and power (politics). So it is clear humans do not need money nor politics, politicians, bankers, stockbrokers, financial institutions and so on. Thus, can humans create, build, grow and maintain without built-in obsolescenceMar 8 2013: A sincere understanding of the complicated world economic system and the processes and procedures of the IMF, WB, European Union, American bankers, etc. would be crucial to really answering this question. This by no means is intended to say that one needs to sit on these boards to be able to answer the question. On the contrary, I think in order for the masses of humans who populate this planet to truly be alleviated from debt and economic slavery, we need folks outside of those inside investors to know WTF is going on so that informed decisions can be made about inside deals that affect us all.
Maybe a TED TALK DISCUSSING GLOBAL BANKING issues and related topics is a good start :)Mar 11 2013: @Casey I have one question for you, what is your definition of poverty? In reality their really is no such thing as poverty in the United States because the government has already gave the essentials of life to toughs citizens with out. Not only that they give them phones, health care, and are planning to give them gas money as will. If you think the welfare state is going any where, your sadly mistaken only until the government runs out of are money will this ever change.Mar 9 2013: Can someone please point out the persons we owe money to? If a corporation owns debt from another corporation and both corporations keep changing CEO's and stock holders how long can debt live?
Mar 9 2013: never mind that it was asked already, and answered already
i have the impression that you spend a whole lot more time writing than reading
Gail .
Mar 8 2013: How can we pay back the national debt(s) when sovereign governments have given up their right to print money, turned that right over to banks who invent money into existence, lend it to governments with interest attached, and never turn the unearned dollars (interest) into money so that the debt can be paid off?
- 0
We don't need more dollars invested in education. We need more people willing to educate themselves in spite of the horrors that they will see when they use the Internet to find out what has been done to them (and that through their votes, they supported without knowing that they were damning themselves).
I see the only solution that I have been able to conceive of as being a growing but still very small minority whose view is angrily rejected without any interest in understanding it.
Thus, the solution lies in the hands of you and me, who will be powerless for as long as we believe that ignorance is strength.Mar 8 2013: Ok, some great comments here.
I understand that if this finance is ever going to be paid back, then future generations will be severly affected, this means that my children (and theirs) may become enslaved in the country of their forefathers. (to be dramatic)
Should we be looking for the solution to end this debt roller-coaster in our lifetime ?(next 50 years), or is that just not possible?
Is there a solution?, or are we sooo deep, that the only way out is that there isnt a way out?
I understand that as individuals choose, this is their choice, credit, loans, borrowing en masse. But is there a viable alternative to keeping this inflated lifestyle/standard of living to which we have become so addictively accustomed ?, or Does it all have to go, end, shut it down?,
The other part is---------------- Where did all the borrowed money come from?------
Mar 8 2013: " Where did all the borrowed money come from?"
it is less important where the money comes from. money in today's world can be created at will. it is just playing with numbers. what we need to care about is stuff. new money buys stuff, so the "winners" in the money creation game also gain stuff. not as much, but some. probably not a perfect measure, but maybe this map gives you a hint:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_accountMar 7 2013: Education of the people is the most important step. Otherwise the politicians are forced to keep spending money in order to get reelected.
Some say the conspiracy is to create a new world currency that will buy the Euro and the Dollar at less than face value. So the holders of the fiat money would simply lose.
I'm not sure there are people persistent enough and smart enough to do this as it takes centuries. On the other hand I see enemies of the people like George Soros, Prescott Bush who was found guilty of financing Hitler, Woodrow Wilson and all the crap he pulled and I say hmm maybe?

|The End of Vermont Skiing
Killington May 4 2007
Vermont skiing for 2006/2007 comes to an offical close this weekend when Killington, always the first to open and the last to close, wraps up the season.
Killington this weekend will have nine trails, three miles, open. One chair will be operating: the Superstar Express serving More Difficult and Most Difficult terrain only. No beginner terrain will be available.
After the ski area stops on Sunday, the Killington golf course opens at the end of the week, May 11!
Some other ski areas are not officially open but you can find some intrepid skiers and boarders snowshoeing up with their equipment on their backs, and sunscreen in their pockets, to get in a few more runs on what has been a great season.

Movie Bands We Wish Existed In Real Life
September 04, 2013 via Pepsi
Movie Bands We Wish Existed In Real Life
We've all experienced that moment where the end credits begin to roll and reality hits: Too bad that wasn't an actual band! Everyone has to settle for buying the movie soundtrack, even though we know our favorite fictional movie bands could probably sell out arenas in seconds. Here's hoping we see some sequels soon, but until then we've rounded up some of our favorite clips from the best movie bands that really should exist in real life.
Stillwater, Almost Famous
Almost Famous is a serious music junkie cult classic. While most teenagers were just trying to navigate high school, aspiring music journalist William Miller convinced Rolling Stone to let him report on Stillwater, an up-and-coming fictional rock band, while they went on tour across the country. Stillwater sounds like it could fit right in with any real late-70's rock band along the lines of Styx or Boston, who were also just hitting their stride at the time. Check out one of the band's best movie hits, "Fever Dog," above.
The Blues Brothers, The Blues Brothers
Before The Lonely Island, there were The Blues Brothers. Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi started the blues band as a skit on Saturday Night Live, and it was no surprise when a movie followed due to the (fictional) band's popularity. In the movie, Aykroyd and Belushi win over every crowd they play for with hits like "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" and "Jailhouse Rock." If that doesn't convince you of the pair's skills on stage, their performance of "Shake A Tailfeather" with Ray Charles himself will seal the deal.
School of Rock, School of Rock
Led by Jack Black, School of Rock brought us the coolest (really, the only) band of 5th graders who we wanted to see jump out of our screens and onto the Billboard charts at the time. Who can forget the final performance, "Zach's Song," when the whole class dressed up as miniature rockers, and we all subsequently wished we could have done the same when we were in 5th grade. Check it out above.
DJay, Hustle & Flow
Terrence Howard initially turned down the role of DJay in Hustle & Flow to avoid typecasting, then picked it back up again when he saw the depth of the character. We're glad he did, because otherwise we never would have been exposed to his evident skills as a rapper. Howard paired up with Atlanta rappers Three 6 Mafia to write the Best Original Song at the Academy Awards in 2006.
The Barden Bellas, Pitch Perfect
Rebel Wilson may have cemented her presence on the silver screen with her breakout role in Bridesmaids, but after watching Pitch Perfect we are confident that she'd be able to nail down a second career in music if she wanted to. Thanks to shows like Glee, a capella groups no longer fly under the radar and performances like that of The Barden Bellas only help to show how popular the genre is becoming. Until the Bellas officially decide to go on tour, we'll have to settle for re-watching some of the great mashups including the riff off scene and the final performance--check it out above.
Marvin Berry and The Starlighters, Back To The Future
If anyone was forced to go back to the high school prom, at least we all know what band would be on the top of the performance list. Marvin Berry and The Starlighters performed at the Enchantment Under The Sea Dance in Back to the Future, and were the ones to discover Marty McFly locked in the trunk of their car during a dance break. Their scene was set in the mid-'50s, but there's always time for a comeback, right?
Kelly Canter, Country Strong
Country Strong—otherwise known as the movie where we found out Gwyneth Paltrow could sing—follows fictional country music star Kelly Canter's comeback tour through lots of depression and drama, all underscored by some great country music. Both Paltrow and supporting actress, Leighton Meester, who play rising star Chiles Stanton, show off some talented twang in songs like "Words I Couldn't Say" and the big finale, "Country Strong." Watch the epic performance of the title song above.

Comments about McDavid Ligament Knee Support:
Works well and surprisingly comfortable for a larger knee brace. Recommended by my physical therapist for sports while dealing with a moderate meniscus injury. My only wish is that the elastic cross brace straps at the middle of the brace were stiffer for added compression on the side of my knee joint where I feel the pain.

Comments about McDavid Ligament Knee Support:
i have tried all 3 McDavid knee supports - level 3 had a hinge that was "too heavy" and tended to pull my knee out of whack; level 1 wasn't supportive enough for my needs; level 2 is working well for me - but it is time-consuming to put on (6 straps altogether), the velcro tends to make the multiple straps stick to each other, no instructions were included about how the straps are meant to function, it tends to bunch up behind my knee (making it uncomfortable), the knee hole also tends to bunch (doesn't lay flat, like the level 3 did), it's very tight and difficult to take off (which the level 3 wasn't), it doesn't fit as loose around the calf as other XL's (i've tried all 3 styles - so i know the difference!), it's so compressive that it makes my knee swell up - if worn for longer than 3-4 hours, and because the X straps fit so securely - the thick upper/lower straps add "unnecessary" bulkiness...but the main thing - is that it works to keep my knee stable and happy, and comes in an XL size (which is hard to find!) although, it seems to fit more like an L (making me wonder, if mine was mis-marked?) but overall, the X-straps help to keep my knee stablized, the side stays offer just the right amount of lateral support, and i an able to trust that no additional harm will befall my knee while i am wearing it!

Enrique Iglesias Tickets
Born into a life of stardom, Enrique Iglesias is the youngest son of the world's best-selling Latin musician, Julio Iglesias. Despite his link to family fame, the young Spanish singer worked to make a name for himself and has sold more than 100 million albums globally since his debut in 1995. Though he started out singing only in his native Spanish, Iglesias proved to be one of the most successful Latin crossover artists after his first English-language track, "Bailamos," hit No. 1 on the U.S. charts in 1999. Ensuing singles like "Hero," "I Like It," and "Be With You," have also gone on to achieve mainstream success, and you can hear all the hits and more with a purchase of Enrique Iglesias tickets.

Now that we've cleared the hurdles of year-end reporting, it's time to set personal, professional, and financial goals. I'll summarize the personal and financial goals (e.g., eat healthier, exercise more, donate time and treasure to charity, and spend less) and focus more on the professional goals — specifically the goals for our department.
This will be the year of efficiency. We have the ability to automate our reporting through audit management software — so we'll do that first. This doesn't mean boilerplate reporting. Rather, we populate the report writing into the workpapers, and use the reporting tool to pull from the workpapers to assemble the report. And no goal should be without measurement. So, let's say that we will produce a draft report the day following the end of fieldwork.
The next goal can be to deepen the tool kit of each member of the audit team. These are individualized goals, which might include reaching "expert" level at data analytics software, achieving one of the IIA professional certifications, or developing expertise in one of internal audit's niche areas (e.g., network attack and penetration, construction auditing, and airline-specific audit areas). Some of these goals can be measured through testing (i.e., obtaining a certification) or through more subjective means.
All audit groups probably want to make sure they add value. Whether this is through finding cost-saving opportunities, revenue enhancement, preventing bad outcomes, or improving operations, we should make sure we add this to the list as well.
Finally, let's take what we do well and raise it to the next level. Look at the audit life cycle — close the bottlenecks and time sinks and do what we do even better. Assign resources to reengineer the audit to make it ready for tomorrow.
What are your goals for 2012?

Still the King
Elvis is alive and well, hundreds of miles from Graceland The Music Issue Continued: Confessions of a Rock 'n' Roll Survivor
The Music Issue Continued:
Feature Story
by Kevin Crowe
On any given Saturday, our quaint little Market Square is teeming with life. The Farmer's Market draws a continuous crowd. The occasional busker fills the air with classic ragtime. Hordes of children run through the fountains. There's also a man in a white jumpsuit, sporting a pair of blue suede shoes. He's standing in front of a portable karaoke machine. The speakers aren't the best that money can buy, but they're good enough to get the job done. The first couple of bars of â"Little Sisterâ" begin.
â"Everyone,â" a silver-tongued itinerant says after he snatches Elvis' microphone, but Elvis doesn't seem to care. â"Elvis is in the house!â"
His name is Jeff Martin, and for the past two years, he's been donning the Las Vegas Elvis outfit. He's got the dapper black hair. He's got the thick, black muttonchops. He's got the glitzy shades, too. He's a preservationist, in a sense, protecting an idealizedâ"and slightly gimmickyâ"memory of the King of Rock'n'Roll.
The nation's housewives were picking up copies of The National Star by the thousands when, in April of 1977, the tabloid ran the provocative headline: â"Elvis, 42, fears he's losing his sex appealâ"psychologist explains Presley's tantrums and why, at 230 pounds, he craves young girls and jelly donuts.â"
There he was, in a gruesome photograph on the cover, only days after he checked himself out of a Baptist hospital. Rumor had it that the King was woofing down an average of 25 pills or injectible vials of painkillers every day. Pills before bed, and more pills in the morning. The Elvis that appeared on the Star 's cover looked silly and, even worse, old, a far cry from the hip-shaking sex symbol that lit up female libidos in the late '50s. The king was fat, breathing heavily and sweating profusely. His eyes stared off toward nothing in particular, his pupils dilated to the size of nickels. He would no longer strike any of his signature karate poses during his increasingly lackluster performances.
To put it another way, the King of Rock'n'Roll was a has-been, a fat buffoon, a mouth-breathing parody of the real Elvis Presley. Gone were the giddy shrills from thousands of star-crossed girls, as Elvis lumbered his way through a terribly misguided tour, which began right here in Knoxville on May 20, 1977. Elvis had had his fair share of bad press, sure, but nothing could've prepared him for what was about to come. Critics, looking to take the former king down a peg or two, had no mercy when the sweaty, hulking singer came to the stage. There was no such thing as a cheap shot if you were unfortunate enough to attend an Elvis concert during the summer of '77. A writer in Detroit summed up the spectacle, with acrid intensity:
â"Let me tell you something, gang; when I say old, I mean old. That turkey needs a feather transplant.
â"It is damning Presley with faint praise to say that he stunk the joint out. If he appeared live and in concert tonight in my backyard, I wouldn't bother to raise the window shadeâ. As it was we got stung $15 a seat to listen to his aging voice crack and to hear him stumble over lyrics he should've memorized 20 years ago.â"
And so it went, in just about every town that Elvis took his tired, dope-fueled body. Everywhere he went, his doctor followed, keeping the King happy with uppers, downers, anything that a doctor can prescribe.
But in a strange twist of fate, Elvis' record sales were going up for the first time in years. Perhaps when folks saw this dopey excuse for an Elvis, they missed their charismatic and slightly ribald King. When Elvis ceased to be Elvis, records began to fly off the shelf, as fans yearned for royal rock'n'roll totems, anything to remember his reign as it once was. RCA had reissued 16 singles, all of which found their way onto the British charts. Back stateside, his newest single, â"Way Down,â" enjoyed brief popularity on easy listening and country charts. To see Elvis live may have been a disaster waiting to happen, but his music had yet to lose its velveteen cocksureness.
Elvis continued to hit the road, popping stimulants instead of sedatives, as he stretched and struggled to hit the high notes. At his final show in Indianapolis, the crowd was in a frenzy. The women screamed, bleating, writhing in pure ecstasy. It was as if Elvis was 20 years younger, and he was out shaking his hips for the first time. He finished by singing â"Can't Help Falling in Love,â" and the band began an ominous vamp â"â"
â"Ladies and Gentlemen,â" the voice said over the loudspeaker, â"Elvis has left the building.â" Moments later, the voice returned. â" We'd like to remind you that following this evening's concert the Elvis Super Souvenir Concession Stands will be open for a short while. If you didn't get your souvenir of your evening with Elvis, be sure that you do so before you leave â.â" Colonel Parker, who had managed and exploited Elvis since his days in the army, had a slogan that he was real keen on repeatingâ" always Elvis â"and it's always been Elvis ever since.
"He knows just about every Elvis song there is,â" says a middle-aged fellow, who has stopped to hear Martin sing â"Suspicious Minds.â" â"I've heard other singers out here, they're pitiful. I know he does better.â"
â"I'd like to get a gig,â" Martin says during one of the few breaks he takes during his four-hour Elvis marathon. â"I'd like to work with a band. But I'd need a car first.â"
Saturday mornings find Martin taking the bus from South Knoxville to downtown. He schleps his karaoke machine and box of Elvis' greatest hits to Market Square, and for a few hours, he's living a dream.
â"He's a legend,â" Martin says matter-of-factly, because what else is there to say? Always Elvis , even Colonel Parker couldn't have predicted how fervently the King's fans would honor his memory.
It all began in Knoxville, oddly enough, in 1954, just another routine day on Market Square. A local merchant named Sam Morrison of the Bell Sales Company was promoting Elvis' â"That's All Right, Mamaâ" by playing it over his loudspeakers. By sheer luck, a talent scout from RCA heard the song and bought two copies. One of those copies made its way to New York and, in just a few months, RCA was negotiating with Sun Records for Elvis' contract.
But that's ancient history. Elvis is still the King of Rock'n'Roll. Thousands of devotees have made the trip to Graceland over the years. Here on the Square, Martin stands alone. Small crowds gather from time to time, but more often than not, he's performing just for himself. At the end of each song, he strikes a stiff karate pose, and holds it, just in case there's someone willing to take a picture.
When he speaks, Martin is ill at ease. His hands shake uncontrollably, and his soft voice is barley audible over the Square's patrons. Yet when he's singing, he's a different person. He's in another world. He's no longer the man who rode the bus up from South Knoxville. He's King for four hours a week, and no one's going to argue with that. There's no ego here, only the unshakable belief that maybe, just maybe, lightning will strike the same place twice.
â"What's my favorite Elvis song?â" Martin ponders the question for a minute. â"My favorite Elvis song is when it's sung my way.â"

Sure, your probably don't want to be too extreme with either of these. You don't want to turn a blind eye completely, nor do you want to be hawking everyone's bidnez. (I tend to struggle with the latter, as most here would agree).
I'm learning that the way that I'm most comfortable with is to question most things, keep it all in mind, let it guide your actions in the background, but don't be so quick to try to fix things yourself. I guess I'm learning to be more patient, so forth. be wise as serpants, harmless as doves...speak softly, carry a big stick...etc.
