The Right of Free Travel (visa-free) for Every Human Being on Planet Earth
This is a very problematic issue in my mind (which is not too far from slavery or racism in theoretical base) that has to be ended or changed in some way. I think the arguments on one side of the issue are so basic and strong that it is not easy to legitimate the current situation using some contra arguments like "the security of the borders of the nations" etc.
So I really wonder what the TED Community thinks about this major but not so much discussed topic. Please join and share your valuable insights...
To start the discussion, here are some basic arguments that come to my mind:
1 - Univ. Dec. Human Rights Article1: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood." and some other articles and the general spirit of the Declaration that reinforces the idea of same justice for every human being.
2 - I think that the most effective way to diminish and eliminate all kinds of discriminatory prejudices which all of us actually have toward all "the others" at different levels in us and which are also in my opinion a major handicap for world peace is through people coming together, meeting and knowing each other and sharing their lives, stories, thoughts...I think there isn't a better way to really kill our stupidities towards each other. (And the second best way is story telling arts and works I think)
3 - Some other inequalities which are inherently unjust:
-The geography where one was born in defines how much of the planet is accessible to him/her. (In theoretical sense here it looks very similar to racism)
-Corporations which are absolutely more harmful to everything than individual people move freely everywhere but the people can't?!? (Where is "the security of the nations" here?)
-If travelling is a way of education (which I think absolutely is) some people are not provided with this very basic right.
Jul 27 2011: Hello Emre,
Great topic and great points!
I too consider myself a World Citizen, but my rationale is a bit more simplistic.
I was born on Earth, that makes me an Earthling and that makes the Earth (THE WHOLE THING) my birthright. Therefore, I see no reason why I should be logically kept from traveling wherever it is I please on this planet. So long as I do no harm to anyone where I am...and I mean actual harm, not perceived harm based upon egotism or prejudice.
Looking from space it would seem we are all from one place, and I hardly think the Earth takes us seriously as we continue to partition it. A flood one place on Earth has reverberations everywhere on Earth. It is the same with actions and energy.
It is no surprise, then, how much our species suffers from separatism. That being said, the Earth will continue to be a whole organism even after we've separated ourselves back into our atom state prematurely.
"World Passports" are long overdue, or Passports are long outdated. Whether we'll wake up to this reality before it's too late (for us) is the interesting question!

Aug 21 2011: I like the thought of free travel, but in practice we have too many people with less than positive intentions regarding their reason for visiting another land.
- +2
I enjoy the opportunity to visit with and learn about other cultures, but in this political, war torn world we live in there are others who have plans to make their travels less pleasing for those they visit.
If we could guarantee that all travelers would "live and let live" than visa-less travel would work. We are far from that ideal place.
Aug 22 2011: Hi,
Your view about this issue is very similar to Earl Shoop's. If you are interested in my arguments about this point of view you can read my reply to Earl's comment. Thanks for joining...Jul 18 2011: From a utopian point of vieuw, I even think one should be able to live where-ever one wants to live, and indeed travel as one likes.
From pragmatical point of view:
- mass migrations can cause troubles, and might better be avoided
- countries want to secure some safety or wealth, and don't want people with bad intentions enter their country.=> stricter regulations and more paperwork to enter (tracability)
- some countries are on unfriendly terms with each other. This can mean that they deny each other's citizens some freedom (of movement).
- brain-drain and economic drain from certain countries can also mean travel-limitations.
The idea of having a ID (does not really exist in America, in Belgium we have to carry our Belgian ID card at all times) is not bad.
Checking in and out of airplanes; boats, countries by scanning your id is not a problem to me. Doesn't cost me anything and the country know's who is within it's borders... a handy thing to monitor above mentioned problems.
And it does not limit your traveling (as we can all agree that such a system is sufficient)
Earl Shoop
Jul 27 2011: Allow me to submit that, so long as there are those who wish to do harm to others, absolute freedom to travel anywhere we wish will be curtailed.

Perhaps, when we have true "World Peace," we shall have such freedom?

Jul 27 2011: Dear Earl,

Ok then, let's cut the travel right as a whole, globally. Everyone stays "at home". Deal? :) According to your argument this is the logical way, at least until the "world peace" is "offered" to us (maybe by aliens).
How can I be sure that you do not have any bad intentions regarding a certain culture or country? Are the answers for these questions in your skin colour, in your mother tongue, in your religion, in your nationality, sexual orientation, etc.? Why is an US citizen allowed to travel nearly everywhere and why should an Afghani stay "at home". Is it because that Afghanis are potentially a threat to world peace?
Aug 21 2011: Humans are going to need to accept the idea that our purpose in life is to serve each other, not harm one another, before we have evolved to the point that we can have World Peace. Those of us who decide to grow more kind, thoughtful, patient, forgiving, etc... in short, more human, can measure our progress by monitoring how well we treat each other on the road. Road-Peace will be a step toward World Peace. (see my conversation on this, please)Aug 18 2011: True world peace sounds like a utopian goal, an argument just to avoid more equitable free travel to all.Jul 18 2011: we wont know true freedom till this happens.Jul 18 2011: EXTENSION OF THE INTRODUCTION AFTER THE FIRST COMMENTS:
Let's focus on free (touristic) travel, not on migration (which is not my topic here). And to those who says "no" right from the beginning I recommend thinking more because generally these are the people who can travel to the most of the countries without visas being required from them. So they are enjoying the current climate of the situation. The easy objections without sound, factual arguments by free travellers to other people's free travel right look like a childish grudge or a super-egocentric perception of the reality to me. Yes, practically maybe it is a hard issue to be solved perfectly yet it does not mean that the current situation of it is as good as it can be.Aug 24 2011: It all comes down to economy. It is unlikely for some poor person in Africa to spend thousands of dollar just visit to Europe or America. Most plan to stay there get a job bring their relatives. If you can prove to the visa issuers that you going to come back, and your primary purpose of going there is to visit you can get a visa. They even encourage you to come because they need the tourism money. I have some objection in "the geography where one was born in defines how much of the planet is accessible to him/her". Some People living, in this geographic area, who have money to travel and spend ,can go to any country they want. It sad so many people in the poor countries are not eligible to travel. But the reason is the economic injustice that is prevalent in the world. That has to be tackled first.Aug 21 2011: May I know why your title of debate is almost written in Capital letters?
Limited use of capital letters puts empahsis on points one want to emphasize, but this kind of use may send different signal to recipient that's what I feel.
Aug 21 2011: Dear Salim,
Thank you for your remark. Actually yesterday I have thought the same thing. Even if it is a bit late I have changed it now.
The reason by the way :) : When I opened the debate I just thought that this was a major human rights violation, got a bit angry and put that title in capital letters in order to make it more visible to everyone...
Sorry for the inconvenience...
Aug 25 2011: Hi Emre
Understand your points and also agree to some extent with your premise if not completely Visa free at least it should be easier if we are really so rich in data management and analysis.
I also have following question in mind
-----Why should one with my color, name or country of origin should face same hassle every time even to get a visa to the same country? Are not they able to analyse my past data to decide ?
------More the developed countries are more stricter it is in a sense , are not they using their IT power in analysing data ?
Many thanks for responding to my request.
Have a good dayAug 20 2011: In many respects of your argument for a world without Borders ,I agree with you ...but who's going to pay for it.My parents ,and their parents and now me pay taxes,work hard and contribute to make our country better.Then everybody just arrives and lives off what we've worked so hard to achieve.her in the UK our Healthcare ,welfare and Education system is being exploited and we are all suffering.Soon the developed countries will be reduced to a lower class of living.The Uk people give the highest amount in foreign aid but still immigration is a problem.I ask myself why do so many people from so far away want to come and live in a rainy little island .Sometimes their efforts are so huge,living in transit camps,hiding in trucks,trains etc Why?
Everybody wants a better life.I believe you should stay and mke your country better not try and live of the hard work of others.

Aug 22 2011: Hi Illona,

First I would want to make it clear again that our topic is about the right of free (without visas) travel, it's not about unconditional residence and/or working permit or "a better life" for those in need (although this would be worth discussing in another debate)...
You might not like this idea but I suspect that the wealth of your country might stem from the taxes of you and your parents' hard work but more than that it might have stemmed from it being a colonist empire which used huge amounts of free labour (slavery) and raw materials from its colonies all over the world a long time ago, now having oily wars-loving governments (Iraq, Afghanistan) and huge global corporations which know how to make money at its best still quite exploiting world's natural resources and using cheap labour. So it might not always be so easy for someone to define the exact sources of the wealth of his/her country in our globalised, incorporated tiny little blue marble. Please do not feel offended because this is how capitalism works and I couldn't have answered your argument without mentioning this reality...
Thanks for joining...
PS:Some of your better life with a lot of sunshine seeker fellow citizens :) immigrate to southern Turkey. Do you believe that they should stay in UK and let Turkey's coasts to Turkish citizens for living?
Aug 22 2011: Having the right of free travel without visa and border controls isn't feasible.ther are so many other issues like
1 what areyou going to do in the country you visit?..terrorism ,crime,drugs,misuse/abuse of healthcare system,
2 the burden on the existing infrastructure when a lot of people want to "visit" a country.
3 opening the Borders leads to easier trafficking of people (slavery)
4 criminals roaming from country to country so you don't know who you are living next to.
colonialism was a long time ago and a lot of tax has been paid since then to develop the UK.
it's easy to have a limited view of ones own world
Also I visit the turkish coast each year and accept your countrys system and border control...did you know they charge me £10 English currency just to pass through your immigration .
Some Anon
Aug 23 2011: Dear Illona,

Again, I am talking about the right for travel without visas, nothing else...Where did you get the idea from that I am for entering a country without border controls today? (But also you have to remember that there are no border controls in the EU and you are still alive so this can also work for more countries...)
1 - These are things one can practice in his own country too if one has the intention. The tendency of yours to see others as evil beings is quite problematic in my opinion, sorry.
2 - People, societies, cities, countries can and should evolve according to the changing dynamics of the world. Paris, London, Istanbul, etc. are still living, aren't they?
4 - There are still passports and border controls so security authorites can still catch the criminals but may I just ask you if you are so obsessed about all the hidden badness of the people, should I be worried about (for example) your coming (you said you visit Turkey each year) because you travel without a visa? How can the people of the countries you visit be sure that you are a nice person? Or do you think that you have to be required to apply for visas for every country you visit so that your good intentions can be proved officially?
I think everyone's view is always limited. What we can do best is be aware of this fact and always try to expand the boundries of our minds.
To conclude, are you aware that these arguments of yours does not prove anything in order to legitimate the current unjust regulations about visas but show your one sided world view which presumes that you are nice and others are not. You should roam freely but others not.
And of course I don't agree with my weird government. No one should pay anything for crossing a border. (Do you know that until recent times turkish citizens paid more than £300 (now £130) to get a turkish passport for a five years period. Dealing with this mentality £10 for border crossing should make you happy)Aug 18 2011: Visas...a big pet peeve for me. I understand passports as a way to identify some one ans to register their entry into a country, but visas are just artificial. It is human to want to travel or even immigrate to some place better to improve your lot in life. This is why human race migrated out of Africa to all over the world. This is why we flourished as a species. Now however, we think we know better than nature and we let unnatural physical borders, made by governments, decide who can go where. There would be more equity in the world. But, may be that is why there are visas, so that there are inequities thatcan be exploited by the few who are at an advantage.Aug 18 2011: nobody likes the poor. if you go anywhere to spend money, the natives will love you. as long as you get back to where you're from. if you arrive empty handed to look for a job or a lending to start a business, nobody will wellcome you.
i have been expelled from venezuela and the usa because i was there illegal, just when things were getting on track.
i can tell you i hate fences, walls, locked doors, anything that separates.Aug 6 2011: Your argument is only theoritical and in that sense it can be appreciated . However wherever the country or place we leave , there are certain rules and regulation required to before entering some places within own country. For example , the military area is normally restricted to the public. Also when a stranger come to our house , we will not allow him to enter our house with out getting sufficient information . This is where the VISA rule starts! . Then how can we expect to go some foriegn countries with out VISA
Aug 18 2011: I think that you mean passport instead of visa. A visa is just an okay that you are allowed out of the country and into another countryJul 30 2011: Good Idea but who will do the beginning? which Government in the world have guts to take this initiative for their own country. This is the big question. As long as there is mine in the dictionary there will be borders and controls, first we need to go beyond mine and then we can erase all the borders across al the nations of the world!Jul 29 2011: I know many people will say it's a precocious measure. But this keeping the "dangerous" outside is also affecting everyone else. Especially since we know that the visa systems are not actually about individuals, but about whole nations.
I'm not against passports, I love the stamps in it :D
But I really don't see the reason for the cold war mentality...Jul 27 2011: A lot of focus on security being the major reason for the government controls that exist. Isn't it easier for a government to sell the security risk than the economic risk? Wealthy societies are the ones that tend to the spend most time worrying (not necessarily acting) about human rights, so protecting lives will always be an easier sell to the people than protecting an economy.
Many thoughts on rights, inalienable and otherwise. Rights a concept and a product of human thinking. Like all concepts they will be interpreted, re-interpreted and applied as fits the purpose. The only inalienable thing about a right, is the concept itself.
Mentions of the challenges of countries, societies, groups individuals not getting on. With some suggestions of solutions to the problem. Isn't mankind inherently competitive, within groups and between groups. Where alliances are made, they are for competitive advantage. World peace is a long way off, while we compete... but without competition, would anything ever get done?
So as to the original question:(1) rights are intangible concepts, so the global adoption of any right is a very long way off. (2) visa free travel... would lead to global mass migration and some really, really bad outcomes. Rationally right, but wholly impractical.Jul 27 2011: It's not just visa that determine your travelling radius, but your ability to pay for the trip also maters. Having spent 10 years under UN santctions, with all the visa trouble I've lost a will to travel to the so-called west countries. I think I would rather visit Syria (while I still can) than some EU or USA country.Jul 22 2011: Totally agree. In fact I've often thought about setting up a "country" or at least "corporate entity" which could issue and "Independent Passport". The Entity would then negotiate with small countries to get this "Independent Passport" accepted without a visa, at least for tourism at first.
Once the Entity builds a critical mass of subscribers and small countries, they would then have some money and power to negotiate with the larger countries to try and get it accepted.
In order to get this "Independent Passport", the applicant would have to go through a rigorous set of ID and biometrics and the passport would cost similar to a normal passport.
After tourism has been granted to a large number of countries, work permits could then follow.
We just need an alternative for people who just happen to be born in the wrong place. I have a UK passport and can pretty much travel anywhere, but even if you drive a Ferrari in China, you'd need a visa for pretty much anywhere you wanna go.Jul 20 2011: In my opinion the VISA is a bureaucratic form of men guarding their territory.
Many mammals and other animals are territorial, they gourd their territory to protect their food, family (pack), etc.
Men have always been in a land bordered by imaginary lines. It's in our nature. And we want to protect these invisible lines so that our children would have a safe land to live and prosper. That is why we want to control whoever goes in and out our imaginary lines, so that no alien could harm our way of life.
Of course in our modern society, with technologies like the internet this sounds obsolete, but not everyone has this technology, or any other form of communicational technology.
I would like to address the point that allowing freedom of travel will reduce prejudice: History, and everyday life, shows us that even people who live next to each other for hundreds of years can still have prejudice thoughts against them for being different in skin color, religious views, political views, the way they throw the trash etc.
I must remind you that most of the worlds population cannot allow leaving their homes and livelihood and travel to another city, let alone another country.
It's a pity, but it's our nature to try and protect ourselves from strangers. Just like the need for a document called VISA: A need to filter (=protect ourselves from) people who enter our territory.
Jul 21 2011: I think that some communities living side by side for ages but have strong prejudices against each other are so maybe because of mainly two reasons:
1 - The amount of people in these societies who travel are not enogh so that they are not able to see that there are other values, "defaults", ways of lives on this planet too so that they can realize there is actually no such thing as a universal default/value system etc. and no society can be blamed or alienated or otherized for the way it is.
2 - They don't experience each other's lives really. One side just observes the other from a mental and/or physical distance believing that his is "the default reality", "the default way of living" and so the other is alienated/otherized very easily. Then this becomes a very strong cultural code which is being transferred almost genetically from one generation to the next for ages...
(Thanks to the internet and expanding communication systems even non travelling cultures begin to realize and to become confused about their default value systems.)Jul 19 2011: By the way, I encourage everyone who liked this topic to click on the "thumbs up" symbol on top the page right under the introduction box so that maybe The TED staff might put this under the featured conversations list and we can reach more people and their opinions...Jul 18 2011: For example, have you ever thought about the fact that some TED speakers from non European countries (Middle Eastern countries for example) who enriched our lives with their works, experiences, etc. wouldn't have had the chance to come to the US if it wasn't for TED (even if they would want to visit the US just as tourists) because most probably, they wouldn't have been granted the fancy piece of paper called the visa by the US embassies without an invitation from a reputable organization.Jul 18 2011: i think the issue is a little bit more complicated. i agree that state's has no right to obstruct free movement of people based on their nationality, religion, language, gender or any other group membership.
on the other hand, people have the right to allow or disallow anyone to step on their own private land, without any explanation whatsoever.
Some Anon
Jul 18 2011: Actually people don't have this right. For example no Mexican or American has the right to tell his/her government via a referandum that they don't want some oil company (BP) comes to their lands and makes a catastrophic mess there killing vast natural resources of thousands of species including us humans. Or no Nigerian has the right to call the UN for action to stop Shell exploiting Nigeria's vital resources (for more information about this you can see the documentary "The Age of Stupid"...)

Jul 18 2011: you are perfectly right. when i say "have the right" i actually mean "should have the right". at the moment, this right has been taken away from the people.Jul 18 2011: Let's start by borders:
since the colonization period.
that was to know the borders of each colony, they came up with the so called political borders.
things got complicated by time.
security issues pop up.
no clue against whom they were afraid of the other colonizers!, maybe.
anyhow, wanted to make their citizens different or whatever, they created IDs and then passports and more.
travelers had to have a confirmation, for security reasons still, in the form of VISAs.
more limits VISAs have; time limit and type of the visit, whether business, travel or education.
Jul 19 2011: We can consider visas as forms of confirmation, as you put it. However, I doubt they grant security; a complete one, at least. I have crossed borders (on a bus) within the EU without any ID controls whatsoever. How does that serve to the safety visas are supposed to bring?
There was no way for the state to know I was within their territory, so they could not "monitor" me. And monitoring does not always mean preventing and controlling, anyways.
Jul 20 2011: if you're traveling within the EU, this is a "union" to get inside any country from the EU, you get ea confirmation, you can access all other countries
most of my friends, got a VISA for a certain country, EUian, though had access to all other countries
Cagla Taskin
Jul 20 2011: I know how it works within member countries. My point is that security concerns alone is not a good enough reason. I'm a Turkish citizen and I hold a special type of passport that doesn't even require any visa applications for most European countries for visits up to three months. Unlike most people, I never had to apply for a visa for any short term visits. Does (Should) the color of my passport automatically qualify me for travelling?Jul 18 2011: Its a protection of culture. Although polynation will cause new cultures .. in some way 'meta cultures'.
- +1
I am in Australia, people dont seem to come here, we dont seem to go anywhere else.. (generally speaking). Look at italy, france, spain germany... amazing cultures and still different, recognisable, built on years of border protections. Im impressed.
Australia has no culture, we are too young, and exposed to each nation. We are multicultural and so that is our culture. But 'the aussie stereotype; has begun to dissapear and so... brings me back round to the front.
Do we as humans protect our cultures? Does the Free travel screw with that concept? - Individuals make little difference, but the masses do...

I did 3 runs with the Ultra boost so far. The first was a 12k in which I set a new personal best without even trying to run fast. The second was a 12k I ran at a pace of 5 minutes per k ( 8 minutes mile) and my heart reate was way lower than normal at that speed. Today i did a 26k run and the pace was good. The shoe fits well. After having run only 50k with these shoes, I find that the wear is excessive. Some of the nobs are already completely gone. Compared with the other boost shoes I've had the wear is excessive. That's the only issue I have with this shoe. If Adidas can fix the wear issue, they have a real winner here. For the price they cost, this will turn out to be an expensive shoe, because i don't see myself getting the same mileage out of these shoes. ... read more
A couple of things to mention, I love the Energy Boost, I love the Adios Boost. One of the things I love about Energy Boost is that first 200 meters when you set off and it feels like you are just floating compared to other shoes. When I saw the release of the Ultra Boost and the opportunity to place a pre-release order I knew I would buy them. Have run a couple of times in them now, 7mi and 8mi. Today was a 6'49" steady run. First thing was early pace surprised me, started up a big hill and Ultra Boosts made sub 7 uphill feel relatively easy. Boosts seem to suit my stride as in them it really flows and feels very smooth, U Boosts are no different in this respect. Have also found them better than Energy Boost at minimising soreness after the run. E Boosts were good in this respect but U Boost seems even better. The shoe feels totally neutral, even more so than the E Boost. Today was a light mist and ground slightly greasy, but grip of new Boosts was never really in question. As is mentioned in the PR materials, the upper is really special. It literally does fit like a glove. In E Boost I went a 1/2 size up to UK11, but in U Boost 10.5 fits me perfectly. Due mainly to the stretch of the Primeknit. I think the 1/2 size up would have been too big for me. In Adios Boost I also take 10.5, so if you have Adios Boost the same size in U Boost is fine. I guess looks are a personal preference, but my last E Boosts were Black with red inner, so for me the initial release of U Boost in Black with the blue heel cup would be my first choice in any case. They do look really nice! To summarise, I am really happy with the shoe so far, it feels fast, protects my legs even better than E Boost, fits like a glove, grips really well and looks better than the other 19 or so shoes in my collection! ... read more
I have done three runs in these shoes a five mile, seven mile then on Saturday nineteen miles - Shoes are really nicely cushioned. I went down by half a size from original adidas boost. I bought two pairs 10.5 and 11 and took them on and off so better than buying from a running shop to dither but these are better to be close fitting. Bit heavier and less speedy than previous models. I had a sore toe before the run due to a black nail but ran for 3 hours and it was fine. The uppers are great. Lovely cushioning great for my sore Achilles and no problems after 19 mile long run so fantastic for a marathon. But .... the outsole is worn after just 30 miles - the pimples are down to nothing - is the rubber too soft - I'm concerned they wont last 100 miles. I have attached photo which shows some of the slightly worn pimples and some have worn to be flat - is this a major flaw if so adidas will get a lot of returns ... read more
First, this shoe is amazing. Im an ex-collegiate T&F athlete with a neutral gate and forefoot-midfoot runner. I'm approx 200lbs, and need a cushioned ride. I've been looking forever for a shoe with enough fore-mid foot cushioning for the heavier, neutral runner and I feel as though everything is focused on Heel cushioning these days but this is amazing for the mid-forefoot striker! Extremely cushioned and soft yet responsive, feels great on the foot, needed two days to break the shoe in, and no injuries since I've had them. You don't want to take these babies off, believe the hype. I almost missed out on a great shoe. ... read more
im a lover of the adidas boost technology, this is my 3rd pair & they haven't disappointed. I run most days & wear these trainers to do so, I can't wear them for fitness classes that I teach as not enough support for movement in different directions but there made for running so that's what they're best suited for. The only down side is possibly the "sock" style, I don't find that this suits & fits every foot properly. The look & design is fabulous, I ordered the black ones & they look amazing. ... read more
I am so happy with this latest generation! I have several pairs of Adidas Boosts but my favorite has always been the first generation until these came out (The Energy Boosts 2 never felt as cushiony or comfortable to me). I had to splurge on the pre-launch and I'm so glad I did! I couldn't imagine this shoe getting any better from the first generation but the Supers have blown them out of the water as far as cushion and comfort goes - for me anyway. Thank you Adidas! I'm sure I will be buying more once they are on the market again. ... read more
I love these shoes. I have Multiple pairs of Energy Boosts (1.0 & 2.0), and the Adios Boost. Next to the Adios, these are my favorite. My one complaint, mirrors at least one more review that I've read here, in that the outsole, on the Ultras, wears rather quickly. It's hard to complain about it really, because that is probably what contributes to the excellent grip that they have, it's just that for $180..... The Primeknit makes these feel amazing snug, while still allowing me to not feel too constricted. It's kind of hard to explain. Really great shoes. Give them a go if you're on the fence, just keep that outsole wear in mind. ... read more
These shoes are absolutely fantastic and better than anything I have worn previously. I was slightly worried about the size and as has been previously stated they are slightly (and only very slightly) narrow. The thing is that it doesn't really matter because of the flexibility of the top part of the shoe. It's like wearing a really flexible sock and it moulds to the shape of your foot. I trialled them on a 7 mile run and the cherry on an already delicious cake is the sole. They are springy and bouncy and they provide strength on the hills and comfort on the flats. I cannot recommend them enough! ... read more
This is my 4th pair of boost sneakers. I have worn out 2 pairs of Energy Boosts( 1 and 2) and have one in my closet, still in the box. I bought the Ultras when they were offered at introduction a couple of weeks ago. I have worn them to work out in and run in at the gym. The extra "boost" is nice, but the overall shoe is somewhat larger than the Energy Boost 1 and 2. I like the original fit better. Glad I have an new pair of the "old" design in my closet! I hope Adidas brings back the Boost 2's in more colors and sizes. ... read more
I went to an adidas store to try these on after reading all of the rave reviews about the boost.. and I have to agree with the general consensus: these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Commuting in the city is a breeze when you have clouds strapped to your feet. I can't recommend the boost line enough, do yourself a favor and go try some on. You'll be hooked after just one step. ... read more
When I bought the Pure Boost a year or so ago I was pretty disappointed. I wanted to like them, but they were just so narrow. Also. they were comfortable, but not very stable. I was rolling my ankles all day. Decided to give the Ultra Boost a shot hoping that ADIDAS would improve the shoe and they did! The widened the shoe so it is not so narrow, the Ultra Boost is much more stable then previous models. Also, with the addition of Prime Knit not only does it look better, but it's much more breathable. Only downfall is that the Boost material is impossible to clean. Once you get it dirty there is no cleaning it. Great shoe though....Buying another pair now! ... read more
Adidas missed a great opportunity with this shoe. Remember its $180. Woven upper and fit are great. Sockliner is cheap , poor quality for a $180 shoe. Midsole profile and road feel are flat. The added eva in other boost styles greatly improves the feel of the boost compound. Outsole wear is maybe the worst of any quality shoe Ive run in, visible abrasion and wear after one 5 mile run. Im not sure why they chose not to use the superior Continental rubber compound used in other models. Bottom line, Adidas cut corners , over priced an inferior product. ... read more
Received in the mail today after ordering from the adidas website. Just finished my first run, 4.5 miles. The shoes fit my foot better than the E Boost and I think I'll be a fan of the "tongeless" U Boost. Definitely a sock-like fit. During the run, my toes got really numb, I'm attributing part of that to the fact that they are fresh out of the box and I need to break them in a bit throughout the course of several runs. So, I'll have to report back after a week or so. After 4.5 miles, there is noticeable wear on the rubber-knobbed outer sole. Definitely a poor design. So, I agree with other reviews that the shoe is comfortable but if the sole wears out after a month or so, the price tag is way to steep...in my opinion. ... read more
I've been a big fan of the boost line since it arrived on the market, and the Ultra Boost are no exception. At first when I tried them on I thought they were too small, but once you start running in them they contour to your foot. It does take some getting used too, but the break in time is very quick. They do run true to size. I did not have to order a larger size like I had too with the original Boost or Boost 2.0. I did find the Ultra Boost less clunky feeling. I'm a heel striker and the transition from heel strike through the gait cycle to toe off was super smooth. The fit is really nice. It is snug but allows more flex than the original Boost or Boost 2.0. I noticed a great improvement in the traction. The Boost return on these are incredible !!! As I became tired on a long run, the return energy really helped a lot and I found my self not having to struggle as much as I became more tired as my run went on. There is a definite improvement in the cushioning ! It is a softer ride like the Supernova Boost 7 and Response Boost, but it's not squishy or too firm. Seems like they nailed it just right !!! Are these the best running shoe ever ? That's up for you to decide, what I can say is that the Ultra Boost is going to be very difficult for the competition to beat ! I read in some other reviews that the heel was not comfortable... I did not encounter any discomfort at all. I will be using these for my regular trainers and for an up coming 3K run. The materials have a nice sturdy feel to them. I only have a few nit pick negatives.. The laces are thin in width. I wish they were wider like the Supernova Boost 7, how ever it did not hinder performance at all. Next is the steep price. It would have been nice if there was a more friendly price tag on the Ultra Boost or maybe include a free Boost T-shirt or carry bag. ... read more
I tried these out in a test run . I normally wear a size 8.5 in the adios boost. So I picked out and 8.5. They were EXTREMELY comfy when I first put them on. The beginning of the run was good but the shoes felt loose in the front. Halfway through the run my mid foot started to hurt. I think maybe it's just adjusting to the shoe though because it didn't hurt afterwards. When I got back to the store I tried on size 8 thinking they might fit nicer but they were sooooo narrow that it hurt just standing there. I love the shoe but don't think it fits quite right. If there was a size 8 1/4 it would be perfect! Maybe I'll try men's sizes to get some width. ... read more

Naturtint® Plant-based hair color is unlike the typical at-home hair dyes. What separates Naturtint from the rest? Naturint's health-conscious hair coloring formula is eco-friendly, ammonia-free, paraben-free, resorcinol-free, and animal-cruelty-free.
The herbal blend of natural activators nourish and protect your hair, along with highly concentrated micro-pigment dyes for rich radiant color.
Each package of Naturtint® contains everything you need to easily color your hair by yourself.
Naturtint®'s plant-based permanent hair coloring works by using a three-step process without ammonia, parabens, silicones, paraffin, mineral oils, heavy metals, artificial fragrances, SLS, or formaldehyde derivatives. Naturtint® natural hair color is suitable for use by vegans, and does not do any testing on animals. All packaging is eco-friendly, recyclable and biodegradable
The active plant-based ingredients and the pH of the colorant cream help to open the external cuticle layer of the hair naturally. Next, the natural color of the hair is removed, and micro-pigments penetrate the deepest layers of the hair with its new color. Finally, the cuticle returns to its original position, trapping the colorants inside the hair to ensure that the new color won't fade away.

Yes, Yellowstone and the Grand Teton Mountains are probably the most well known destinations in Wyoming. However, there are other smaller interesting tourist attractions. We travel I-80 often in route to Salt Lake City to see grandchildren but seldom go north on I-25.

With sunrise came a thick white fog, as on many autumn mornings in the heigts of the island. Among their huts and houses down the staggling street of ten Alders the villagers stood waiting with their hunting bows and new-forged spears, not knowing whether the Kargs might be far off or very near, all silent, all peering into the fog that hid shapes and distances and dangers from their eyes.

Is there a standard reference for the theory (if it exists) of $\mathcal{V}$-enriched locally presentable categories? Here $\mathcal{V}$ is a cosmos. Does anything unexpected happens here in contrast to the case $\mathcal{V}=\text{Set}$ treated in "Locally Presentable And Accessible Categories" by Adamek & Rosicky? In particular I'm interested in the case $\mathcal{V} = \text{Cat}$.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
MathOverflow is a question and answer site for professional mathematicians. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The standard reference is this paper by Max Kelly.
Perhaps the most unexpected thing is how well the theory works!
The theory is also developed further in two papers by Borceux, Quinteiro and Rosický: Enriched accessible categories MR1419612 and A theory of enriched sketches MR1624638. In the second one they say that they are particularly interested in case $\mathcal{V} = \text{Cat}$ and that they "intend to study this in a further publication", but I don't know of such a publication.

WASHINGTON — A top Defense Department health official told a Pentagon task force yesterday that determining the impact of mental health programs across the military will be a key project this year for the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury.
DCoE's director, Navy Capt. Paul Hammer, listed accomplishments over the past year as well as areas where improvement is needed, including "streamlining functions that accomplish the stated DCoE mission and vision."
"Our job is to make the system better so that our service members, their families and veterans get better care," he told the Recovering Warrior Task Force, whose mission is to provide DOD with advice on managing care for post-traumatic stress disorder and TBI.
DOD and the Veterans Affairs Department are "collaborating to shape policies and programs with a long-term impact on returning warriors, during military service and after transition to civilian life," he added. He called for increased screening and referral of service members experiencing PTSD, and for improved access to quality care for those being treated.
In addition, he called on DOD as well as the services to adopt strategies to better recognize PTSD among returning warriors and to step up efforts to ensure those who need treatment stick with it.
Hammer told the task force members his organization benefits efforts throughout the Defense Department to help those suffering from PTSD and PTI.
"Why should DOD give us money to exist?" he asked. "We believe that by serving as the principal integrator and authority on psychological health and traumatic brain injury knowledge and standards for DOD, we are uniquely positioned to accelerate improvement and care."
Hammer noted that a transition is under way as support responsibility for DCoE shifts from DOD's TRICARE Management Activity to the Army Medical Research and Materiel Command under a DOD directive.
"What we need is leadership to clarify expectations on what they want for us in terms of roles and functions," he said. "I think the challenge is ensuring that we are clear on what our role is and what the relationship is with the services."
The DCoE for psychological health and traumatic brain injury was established in 2008 to develop excellence in prevention, outreach and care for service members with psychological health conditions. It oversees the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center, the Deployment Health Clinical Center and the National Center for Telehealth and Technology.

Read all installation instructions!
• Make sure that you have all tools and hardware needed
for installation.
• Check the installation surface (wall, ceiling, or
window frame) to ensure that you have suitable fasteners and tools
for the material.
• Double check the headrail and shade for proper width
and length. If you are installing several sets of shades, be sure
to match them with the appropriate window.
• Check the parts list shipped with the product to
confirm that you have the correct number of brackets.
• Do not remove the wrap on the roller until you have completed the installation. Leaving the shade rolled up completely will ease installation and reduce the risk of damage.
• For standard roller shades, the fabric will hang off the BACK of the shade, closest to the window. For optional reverse roller shades, the fabric will hang off the front of the shade. Be sure to note this when installing the mounting brackets.
• Cassette Valances come attached to the shade. Standard Valances require assembly.

• Press the caps into place.
• Repeat forthe other end. Once both returns are
installed, pull the fabric taut to remove wrinkles and secure to
the backs of the returns with masking tape
Attaching the valance to the valance brackets
• Centering the valance overthe roller shade, slide the
top of the front valance panel into the valance clips until it
locks into place. You can adjust the valance spacing from the wall

• Insert the front lip of the bottom rail handle into the top of the bottom rail of the shade. The handle will snap into place.
Find Width
Measure exact distance between inside surfaces of window
frame at the top, middle, and bottom, and use the narrowest width.
Do not make any width deductions.
Find Height
Measure exact distance from inside surface at top of window
to sill. If you prefer shade not to touch sill, deduct 1/4". If
there is no sill, measure height to point where shade is to reach.
Tip-to-Tip Measure is the common measure type for most roller
shades. Choosing this measure type will include the headrail
"pegs" that mount the shade to the wall or frame.
Measure exact distance between the outermost points where
the shade is to be placed. This measurement should overlap each
side of window frame by at least 1-1/2". Factory makes no
deduction from your shade width dimensions.
Measure exact distance from where top of shade will be
located to top of sill. If there is no sill or if shade is to
overlap window frame, measure to point shade is to reach.
Cloth Measure is uncommon and should only be used for Outside
Frame applications. The headrail is wider than the cloth of
the shade which causes the "pegs" to extend beyond the width
of the shade material. This total distance is 1-3/8" wide, or
a gap of 11/16" on each side of the shade material.

A former top-selling kit returns to the marketplace with updated features at an incredible price.
History is repeating itself with the relaunch of Premier Genista Series. Through the '90s, Genista was the first choice for aspiring and professional drummers alike. Reintroduced in 2010, the Genista Series remains classic and distinctive in its sound and design but with more options available than ever before.
Genista shells are available in the classic 100% American birch and now 100% American maple. The shells are 5.6mm 7-ply thick and like all professional Premier drums, the toms and floor toms are 3mm undersized for easier, more-positive tuning and clearer sound quality. The shell finish is impeccable with a choice of stunning sparkle lacquers, high gloss lacquers or classic wraps and all internally lacquered.
What makes the Genista truly iconic is the distinctive lug design, finished in Diamond Chrome and perfectly complemented by the legendary 'P' badge.
The American birch kits feature traditional mounting upon the shell to enhance the sound qualities of the birch shell.

Another reviewer pointed out pretty much the same flaws I found. However, at a the sale price these are easily overlooked. Nice, not perfect, finish, excellent bearing edges, great open sound when new heads were installed. This kit plays more like a $1500 to $2000 kit, so it is a superb value.

Comments about Premier Genista Birch Modern Legend 22 4-Piece Shell Pack:
Overall a very nice set for the SALE PRICE (I would have returned it if I paid the regular price). the finish is flawless,(orange sparkle) the gibralter style post and L arm work great as well as the tom clamp on the 12". The hoops are nice and all tension rods were greased. They also give 2 ea extra lugs, tension rods for toms and kick. Now the negatives......All of the air vent grommets were loose and buzzed bad when the drums were hit (replaced with die cast air vents). The bass drum spurs are CHEAP, slight pitting look to them, plastic tips instead of rubber, no markings on the spurs themselves only on the mount side, and they rotate full.. no stop point. The floor tom leg mounts are eye bolt type...cheap....they should have been like the tom mount (clamp style). These couple little things keep this from being a great kit, but easily overlooked for the SALE PRICE. With upgraded heads these things sound great even the snare
