|WAC Workshop: Archaeology & Local Communities
|Thursday, 13 November 2008 00:00
November 18 2008, Medellín, Colombia
WAC Workshop: Archaeology & Local Communities - Spanish
Coordinators: Wilhelm Londoño (University of Magdalena)
In this workshop we want to get together some central actors in the relationships that archaeology has had with local communities. These relationships are multiple, the actors are positioned in different power loci, and several strategies of dispersion and escape are in operation; therefore, mapping their logic is futile. The study of such relationships must not be based on research topics but on narratives of what has been shared on time and space. This goal has an antecedent. In April, 2008 Kogi leaders of northern Colombia got together with a Nasa leader from the southern part of the country to share their ideas about "national archaeological areas." In the event, attended by a wide audience at the University of Magdalena and supported by WAC, surfaced anew, no as a linguistic but as a political problem, the fact that neither the Kogi nor the Nasa have the idea of a national archaeological park in their languages.
These examples do not exhaust the diversity of situations experienced by local communities regarding their own landscapes. Recently the historic materiality of afro-descendant cultures has begun to emerge as a political and epistemological preoccupation. Now that decolonization and interculturality are frequently talked about in Colombia it is mandatory to solve the paradoxes obtaining between communitarism and statalization. This workshop pretends to problematize such a tension, to explore points of encounter, and to review common agendas. The participants are thus encouraged to present ethical reflections about how archaeologists should relate to local communities in the wider context of decolonization.
The participants will present brief position papers about his/her experience on the relationship between archaeology and local communities.
Position papers
This presentation will introduce the purpose of the workshop, the construction of a common agenda for archaeologists and local communities around two basic criteria: legal, political, cultural, and territorial autonomy of the communities, and decolonization of archaeological practice.
Archaeology and local communities in Australia: Claire Smith, Flinders University and WAC (email@example.com).
Arqueología Suramericana: multivocality and interculturality: Cristóbal Gnecco, University of Cauca (email@example.com), and Alejandro Haber, National University of Catamarca (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The presentation, drawn from the intentions and expectations of a South American journal of archaeology, will deal with the contemporary contexts in which the discipline unfolds and about its relations with other forms of thought. The interest is centered in the interlocutions with local communities.
Archaeology according to the Nasa community: Juan Carlos Piñacué, Nasa Community-University of Cauca (firstname.lastname@example.com), and Manuel Sisco, Cauca Regional Indigenous Council (firstname.lastname@example.com).
This communication will show the sense of emptiness of the Nasa community when it tries to assume politically what archaeological practice can offer; this emptiness is also visible in archaeologists when they fail to establish dialogues and to carry out participatory researcher and mutual collaboration. To correct this emptiness the Nasa must construct an ample agenda of coordination with local authorities through which the socialization of such an endeavor can occur.
The "lost" city of the Kogi: Julio Barragan, Gonawindúa Tayrona (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Ramón Gil, Wiwa community (email@example.com).
Teyuna, popularly known as "the lost city," is one of the most important sacred sites of the four indigenous communities of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Since when it was discover by the archaeologists in 1976, the Mamas (main indigenous) have requested to the Colombian State its devolution to the community in order to plan the access and the use of this sacred site, mother of the tumas (sacred rocks).
Afroamerican archaeology: a view from Nóvita, Chocó: Francisco López, National University of Colombia (firstname.lastname@example.com), Janeth Nieto, Universisty of Caldas (firstname.lastname@example.com), and Rafael Pereachalá, National University of Colombia (firstname.lastname@example.com).
This talk will present a state-of-the-art of afroamerican archaeology based on research on several parts of Colombia and elsewhere. It is hoped that this presentation will open a discussion about the archaeology of afro-descendant societies.
¿Viceversa? San Basilio de Palenque and the archaeological task: rethinking borders: Enrique Márquez, San Basilio de Palenque (email@example.com), Manuel Pérez, San Basilio de Palenque (email@example.com), Jesús Pérez Palomino, San Basilio de Palenque (email@example.com), and Johana Caterina Mantilla, Erigaie Foundation (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Archaeology is no more the science about the ruins of ancient civilizations. Communities inhabiting archaeological places once considered alien to contemporary social and political dynamics nowadays play a fundamental role in discussing the situation of the discipline. To what extent and how an equitable communication between archaeology, and communities is being developed? The work carried out with the community of San Basilio of Palenque is one of many endeavors through which the borders of such a communication has been reformulated in order to build joint horizons for both actors, no matter how different their languages and world views might be.
Declaration and discussion.

Looking purely at the names and their places on the results sheet, this year's Montgomery County Cross Country Championships went a lot like last year's. Bethesda Chevy-Chase High School's Nora McUmber took home the county title on the girls' side and Poolesville's Chase Weaverling won the boys' crown.
In reality, what last year were races that came down to the last second were literal runaways this year as McUmber and Weaverling defended their titles in grand fashion on an overcast Saturday morning at Bohrer Park next to Gaithersburg High.
Bethesda-Chevy Chase captured both the girls' and boys' team titles as well — the girls' side winning for the third straight year and by posting an impressive team score of 48 points. All five of B-CC's scored runners (McUmber, Abby Fry, Helen Webster, Kat McNeill and Abigail Levine) finished in the top 16.
"The girls stuck to their own personal strategies and it worked out really well today," said Barons coach Chad Young. "It's a lot of fun. When we've won a couple times, we've realized that a lot of teams are hoping they can take us down. It's a little bit stressful to be in that position, but I think these girls handle it so well. They're very poised and they don't panic."
In 2012's meet, McUmber beat her teammate, Caroline Beakes, for the first time by a little less than seven seconds. And while Beakes didn't race on Saturday, she let McUmber know she was pulling for her.
"She pushed me over the edge and helped me know that I could do this because she wrote everyone these little yellow notes," McUmber said. "Mine said, 'I'm with you there today.' I read it and I knew I needed to stop being nervous and think about the team."
With thick-rimmed glasses and a shy laugh, McUmber is as unassuming as they come, but her performance on the course was anything but. The standout junior finished in 18 minutes, 9 seconds, a little more than 16 seconds faster than her 2012 time. She said she was extra nervous before the race because more than 10 of her family members were in attendance. They're in town to celebrate her grandmother Marcy's 75th birthday. The party started a bit early when McUmber crossed the finish line.
"I hate to be like one of those people who is like, 'Running is my life,' but now it really is," McUmber said with a laugh.
For Weaverling, he came into the day hoping to eclipse the 15-minute mark or possibly break the county meet record of 15:06, but he said a slightly soft course slowed him down a bit. That is, if a time of 15:31 can be considered slow.
"I just usually try to run my own race, hit my splits and run against the clock," Weaverling said. "It's lonely sometimes, but I've gotten used to it."
Last year, the Poolesville senior finished a mere 34 milliseconds in front of Clarksburg's Will Bertrand. Saturday he won by 28 seconds.
"Last year there was a lot of pressure. It was me and Bertrand and we were that close. I was nervous as anything last year," said Weaverling, who now has his sights set on a regional and state title. "This year there was pressure also. I've been wanting to break 15 [minutes] all season."
Initially, it appeared that Walt Whitman won the boys' team title thanks to top-10 performances by Evan Woods and Alex Roederer, but a scoring error didn't count B-CC senior Peter Horton's 19th-place finish, which put the Barons at 109 points, 26 ahead of the Vikings. Alex Riishojgaard placed fourth to lead all Barons boys' runners on the day.
"We've had a good pack all year long. I kept telling the kids, even though we lost dual meets I always felt like we would come up big in bigger races," said Whitman coach Steve Hays.
Clarksburg's Lucie Noall (18:55) finished second in the girls' race while Richard Montgomery's Sophie El Masry (19:11) placed third for the second straight year. On the boys' side, Thomas S. Wootton's Urgy Eado came in second (15:59) while Gaithersburg's Danniel Belay (16:00) secured third on his home course.

In 2003 Siddhartha Mukherjee, MD, having completed his residency and graduate training in cancer immunology, moved to advanced training in medical oncology: cancer medicine. The young doctor and former Rhodes Scholar began taking notes for what he "had initially envisioned being a journal of that year a view from the trenches of cancer treatment". Mukherjee went a considerably more arduous route, eventually developing his journal draft into this superbly written, profoundly moving, and thoroughly compelling book. Mukherjee, who is currently an assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University and a cancer physician at Columbia University Medical Center, is richly endowed with a truly masterful and creative command of the English language. His highly detailed, comprehensive narrative is, in a word, brilliant. With such a richly potent text before him, narrator Stephen Hoye is at his descriptive and expressive best. With robustly articulated pacing, Hoye moves Mukherjee's stellar history as biography forward, keying into the expressive, poetic cadences of The Emperor of All Maladies. Hoye, joining forces with the author, consistently lights up the literary neurons throughout his performance.
The charged-up literary neurons is no metaphor. A 4,000-year history of cancer written by a medical doctor, delivered as a 20+ hour audiobook: well, its sounds quite daunting and dry. But The Emperor of All Maladies is the exact opposite. It is great storytelling. And Mukherjee's craft and creative art of writing, along with Hoye's superb narration, shape this otherwise difficult subject into a highly informative, great listening experience. David Chasey
Pulitzer Prize, General Nonfiction, 2011
Written by cancer physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Emperor of All Maladies is a stunning combination of medical history, cutting-edge science, and narrative journalism that transforms our understanding of cancer and much of the world around us. Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist's precision, a novelist's richness of detail, a historian's range, and a biographer's passion. The story of cancer is one of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, arrogance, paternalism, and misperception, all leveraged against a disease that, just decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out "war against cancer." It's a story of science and scientists, of centuries of discoveries, of setbacks and victories and deaths, told through the eyes of Mukherjee's predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary.
From the Persian Queen Atossa, who instructed her Greek slave to cut off her malignant breast, to the radical surgeries of the 19th century, to the first recipients of primitive radiation and chemotherapy, to Mukherjee's own leukemia patient, Carla, The Emperor of All Maladies is a story of people---and their families---who soldier through toxic, bruising, and draining regimens to survive and to increase the store of human knowledge.
Riveting and magisterial, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments and offers a bold new perspective on the way doctors, scientists, philosophers, and lay people have observed and understood the human body for millennia.
©2010 Siddhartha Mukherjee, M.D. (P)2010 Tantor
"An inspiring account of a very personal battle against 'the plague of our generation." (Kirkus)
"Mukherjee's sweeping biography of cancer stretches from its earliest mentions in the historical record to the latest in treatments and covers many advancements and missteps along the way…Hoye presents even the more complicated medical procedures with a clarity of speech that allows for easy understanding by any listener, even one not well versed in the science of cancer. This is an ambitious work but one that is very accessible and is made even more so by Hoye's narration." (Audiofile)
"Mukherjee recounts cancer's first known literary reference—hence its birth, so to speak—in the teachings of the Egyptian physician Imhotep in the twenty-fifth century BCE, in which it is clear that Imhotep possessed no tools with which to treat what appears to be breast cancer…this is not a posthumous biography, but it is nonetheless a surprisingly accessible and encouraging narrative." (Booklist, Starred Review)
I like books that have interesting characters and easy to follow plots. For example, Cormoran Strike, is a great character for me.
Simultaneously horrifying and compelling. How could a book about such a horrible disease be such a page turner but it is. The story is riddled with personal anecdotes and stories about how the treatment of cancer progressed step by painful step. Learning how cancer cells work was a revelation but not for the unscientific minded. The review of transcription and how retroviruses work can be daunting but worth the attention. The fact that at any moment the genes of one cell can be influenced by various external factors, change their configuration, free itself from the normal constraints of the body and go wild, is a sobering thought. The thought I am left with is that these cancer cells are like evil dopplegangers lurking in the shadows to take over my body. If you are going to listen to one non-fiction book this year, this should be it.
"Been there"
Having experience the death of our 9 year old to kidney cancer I have read A LOT on the subject. This book is absolutely 5 stars, the author tackles a complicated subject, weaves the technical science, historical timeline and array orcharacters together is an very gettable and captivating manner. This book felt accurate, sincere and left me with a sense of informational empowerment!
"Excellent review and update on the story of cancer"
I am a physician and purchased this book thinking that it might be an interesting read. I had read an excerpt, and recognized the author to be a physician who sincerely cares about his patients. I expected to find an empathetic story of suffering and pain. There was some of that, but there was also much about the legacy of cancer, its history, our feeble efforts to treat it and what may lie ahead.
This book is well written and would appeal to those medically trained or not.
"deserves to be on the 2010 "10 Best" lists"
A fascinating story that unfolds with great detail and sympathy and plot and character: on short, a wonderful "listen," all related in in clear, uncomplicated prose that is totally comprehensible to someone without medical training. Wonderfully read by Stephen Hoye. Not one minute is dull...it is the audio equivalent of a page turner.
"Complicated topic made easy"
A complicated topic of cancer made sounderstandable-- I could not even imagine.
I will be on look out for new books from Mr Mukherjee .
"Should be Required Reading for all People"
The best book I have ever read or listened to on this subject, or actually any non fiction subject. The writing is exceptional and the narration flawless. If you have any concerns or interest in your health this book is a must!
Reader & Listener
"Insightful & Illuminating"
I am in awe of how the author made this such a captivating work--He gives so many perspectives on cancer: The personal (his own patients), anthropological (evidence in ancient cultures), historical, and political, with current research and some conjecture about future directions in research and treatment. The fact that it became an instant bestseller can partly be attributed to how many peoples' lives are affected by this disease, but also by what a brilliant book this is.
Audio version is well read.
"Excellent Science History"
Both technical and non-technical listeners will find this an interesting for it's chronological account of he advances in Cancer Research. This is informative and speaks a great deal to our political and social biases and assumptions as they pertain to scientific research.
"A Big Commitment"
Undoubtedly, The Emperor of All Maladies is an excellent book - well researched and well written. I was excited to listen to it. Where the problem came for me is that I realized that I just am not fascinated by medical/science stories. So, my recommendation is this: if you are someone who is intrigued by the medical world, you certainly will love this book. If, like me, your interest in science is not that strong, you might prefer to use your credit elsewhere rather than committing to a 21 hour tome.
"Yes, Riveting!"
I completely agree with all the other enthusiastic reviewers. This book gives and gives and I find myself rereading sections and absorbing more and more.
The ending is climactic, dramatic, like the ending of an opera or symphony, and the narrator is pitch-perfect, striking just the right tone, especially towards the latter half of the book, I guess warming to his subject.
I'm going to look for more from both this writer and narrator.

Why Do We Care So Much?
The other day my friend called to tell me how badly she was being treated. She works the voting polls and never seems to get along with anyone. She's always worrying what people think of her, so she spends her time analyzing and pleasing. She said, "They told me I'm was slow, but I'm doing […] [Read More]

The Social Side of Business
The social component of business should not be underestimated. Some days may feel that they are filled only with paperwork and lists, but there are elements of even these that require compassion and patience. A work place is a delicate environment, and office parties, business lunches, and other gatherings are times when respectful manners still apply.

Goals: Voyager 1 and 2 were designed to take advantage of a rare planetary alignment to explore the outer solar system. Voyager 2 targeted Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Like it's sister spacecraft, Voyager 2 also was designed to study the edge of our solar system beyond the planets.
Accomplishments: During the Jupiter leg of its journey, Voyager 2 was to explore the giant planet, its magnetosphere and moons in greater detail than had the Pioneer spacecraft that preceded it. Voyager 2 was not only to study Jupiter, but to use it as a springboard to Saturn, using the gravity-assist technique.
Voyager 2 succeeded on all counts. It returned spectacular photos of the entire Jovian system, and time-lapse movies made from its images of Jupiter showed how the planet had changed since Voyager 1's visit. Its images of Io revealed changes in the moon's surface and the persistence of its volcanic eruptions. The spacecraft resolved the streaks Voyager 1 had shown on Europa into a collection of cracks in a thick and remarkably smooth icy crust. It also discovered a 14th moon and revealed a third component to the planet's rings.

Do you suspect someone is lying to you? You can't read anyone's mind — which is probably a good thing in most cases — but, according to a new book called Spy the Lie, there are easy ways to determine whether you're probably being duped. The authors claim that if you know the physical and verbal tics to look and listen for, you can be as accurate as a polygraph test.
They should know. Philip Houston, Michael Floyd and Susan Carnicero are former CIA officers who've condensed the wisdom they've gleaned from decades of busting bad guys. Here are five red flags that should raise your suspicions that perhaps you're being deceived.
1. The person repeats your question, or offers nonanswer statements such as "That's a good question" or "I'm glad you asked that." These responses might signal an attempt to buy time while formulating a believable response. Similarly suspicious is an uncharacteristic pause before answering what you consider a straightforward question ("Have you ever been fired from a job?").
2. You get answers that are what the authors call "convincing statements." They're responses that aren't meant to convey information but rather to influence your perception of the speaker. If you ask, "Did you take my wallet?" you might hear, "I wouldn't do something like that," or "I am an honest person." You were expecting a simple "no."
3. The speaker invokes religion ("I swear on the Bible" or "As Allah is my witness"). Psychologists call this "dressing up the lie." It's another form of a convincing statement. In other words, they doth protest too much.
4. A hand covers or touches the speaker's mouth or eyes. A natural reaction while telling a lie is a desire to hide it. The speaker might display this in literal form by placing a hand near or over the mouth. Obscuring the eyes might indicate the speaker's unconscious desire to be shielded from the interviewer's reaction to the lie.
Also note that, contrary to conventional wisdom, a lack of eye contact is not a reliable indicator of lying. A deceptive person who forces a direct gaze because it's universally associated with truthfulness could have better eye contact than an honest person, Houston says.
5. The speaker can't stay still. Someone sitting with one leg crossed over the other, for example, might start wiggling a foot. Wringing or rubbing hands is another giveaway, along with grooming gestures, such as adjusting clothes, inspecting nails or scratching. "The nervous system is trying to dissipate the anxiety," Houston says.

How to Verify Your LTE MAC and RF Interactions
1 Hour | Webcast - recorded | Where & When
What is the Webcast About?
For system-integration engineers and verification engineers, the troubleshooting of new BTS (eNodeB) and UE designs will only get tougher as wireless standards become more advanced. In standards such as LTE, the biggest challenges stem from the complex interactions between the physical (PHY) and media access control (MAC) layers during signaling operations. This webcast starts with a description of the different protocol layers, and the messages they contain, used to configure the uplink transmissions and manage the link operation. A number of examples are then used to show what these signals look like, using data from real equipment. The examples include recovery of vital uplink configuration details during eNodeB-UE synchronization and HARQ process activity in response to noise in the channel, which demonstrates how small changes to the eNodeB configuration can have a dramatic impact on the system throughput. Many engineers working at the PHY layer rely on two tools: RF signal analyzers such as the Agilent X-Series and vector signal analysis software such as the Agilent 89600 VSA. As a complement to the 89600 VSA, Agilent has created the 89600 wireless link analysis (WLA) software to help PHY-focused engineers understand the MAC-layer control messaging that occurs between devices. The webcast makes extensive use of the new analysis tool.
Who Should View this Webcast?
- Baseband and RF Engineers involved in the development, verification and testing of the LTE eNodeB or the UE
- Systems & Integration engineers involved in FDD or TDD LTE development
- Engineering Managers of teams developing or integrating LTE Femtocells, base stations and mobiles
- Engineers who have or are transferring from WiMAX to LTE development work
- All existing users of 89600 VSA & LTE Signal Studio

Jaya The Cat is a reggae/ska/punk rock band originating from Boston, Massachusetts (US), currently based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Jaya The Cat was founded by Geoff Lagadec (vocals/guitar), Dave Smith (guitar/vocals), and Ben Murphy (bass). Their first album Basement Style was recorded in Boston and was received well among critics and fans but failed to gain much attention outside of the Boston area. After drummer David "The Germ" Germain (formerly with Shadows Fall) joined the band they began touring the US and Europe. In 2002 the band arrived in Holland to play the Lowlands Festival. In 2003 they recorded a live album, Ernestoâ[][]s Burning. After the release of the second album First Beer of a New Day Dave Smith (guitar) and Ben Murphy (bass) quit the band. The remaining members decided to move to Amsterdam where they have collaborated with a number of Dutch musicians, some of which have permanently joined the band. Their third album was released November 16th 2007 by I Scream records: More Late Night Transmissions With.... More Late Night...''s sound is considerably more laidback, drawing more on reggae influences than the previous two albums.

Officers completing this course will be certified to instruct officers in the STOPS officer survival program. Upon completion of the STOPS program your officers will be able to safely execute vehicle stops, pedestrian contacts, vehicle extractions, drug interdiction stops, and high risk (felony) stops. Officers will be trained in risk assessments, and proven methods to counter both felonious and accidental assaults. Vehicle stops will be broken into eight (8) kill zones for the officer to be aware of, and pre-planned escape techniques to counter the assault. The STOPS program is based upon research from officers that have been injured or killed in the line of duty. We then developed strategies and tactics that countered the assaults, which will greatly increase the officer's survival probability. The STOPS program is currently instructed at numerous police academies nationwide as THE way to conduct traffic stops.

"...Contretemps most
pleasingly mix elegance and entertainment, charm and cultural history, in
their very unusual production performed with wit and integrity"... The
"It was throughout an exciting lesson in cultural history" Der Tagesspiegel
"A highlight was the guest appearance of the ensemble Contretemps from London... " Zutphens Dagblad
"Unclouded pleasure..." Berliner Zeitung
Contretemps was formed in 1985 by Barbara Segal and Frank Perenboom as a dance duo. Their aim is to present the dance of earlier centuries in a manner that is both lively and entertaining, while still remaining faithful to the original sources. Working from early manuscripts, printed choreographies and contemporary descriptions, Contretemps recreates the dances of past times, with authentic costumes and the music of the period -- either as a concert performance or integrated into stories to heighten the dramatic appeal. Whether as courtiers at Louis XIV's Palace of Versailles, or Harlequin and Columbine in the pantomimes of 18th century London, their performance is supremely entertaining.
Its experience in recreating historical dance has placed Contretemps in frequent demand as choreographers for large-scale productions. Barbara and Frank worked jointly on the production of Purcell's Fairy Queen at the Riga Festival of Early Music, supported by the British Council, and individually they have been responsible for the choreography of many productions.
They have also given frequent lecture demonstrations in schools, universities and historical settings. In 1997/98 they will be touring as part of Chalemie in The Hotchpotch Pantomime, sponsored by the Early Music Network.
Contretemps has toured in the UK, throughout Europe, the Baltic States and Australia. When performing overseas, the duo is usually accompanied by local musicians. In the UK, it is able to draw from a pool of musicians to suit the context - from a solo violin (or tapes) for small-scale (and inexpensive) performances, to large ensembles for full concert programmes.

If everyone in the world did one altruistic thing or helped one person everyday, that would be over 7 billion good acts done in a day.
If everyone in the world did one altruistic thing or helped one person (without selfish motivation) everyday that would be over 7 billion good acts done in a day, 49 billion a week, 196 billion per month and 2555 billion or 2.555 trillion. See the big picture now? Would make a big difference to everyone including you and me.
edward long
Nov 30 2011: Ben, I don't think this old world's weariness is caused by too few acts of altruism, but too many acts of narcissism.
- +2
Nov 30 2011: I think edward long has a point. No matter how much good you pour on sh.. you still have the sh... I agree there is much sh.. we could do without. I, being so grey minded, have difficulty judging good and bad. Everything always seems to add to, even negatives. I think there are many places simple things could make huge impacts. I think most people are too busy thinking of themselves and their own (in this tough world) to think of much. I feel we must have peace and good will toward ourselves, if we are to truly give it to others. In this chaotic world we live I feel we don't muse enough.
Dec 1 2011: I agree with this however, I would use the example of me helping a person at my local cafe. His Barista had just resigned giving him no notice. Societal expectations are that I listen, ignore and do nothing. Instead I spoke to some friends and found him someone to start work net week. In the meantime I'd offer a helping hand on my days off. This does turn the sh.. situation into something better.
To quote Buddha "suffering is universal" but through good acts one can alleviate suffering from some. Try walking for a day and simply smile at people, see how many smile back :-D
Dec 1 2011: Commendable, my good man. You are correct, Ben. I have no quarrel with people being helpful to one onother, in fact I try to do it every so often. But, your idea is for 7,000,000,000 acts of kindness to be performed every day. I suspect that is already happening. Unfortunately, there are probably 21,000,000,000 acts of hurtful selfishness every day. I guess we differ on how to improve the world. You say grow the good. I say reduce the bad.
I also appreciate the subtle word "everyrone" in your statement. It conjures up the idea that there are those among us for whom an act of kindness would me a first! And, who knows, maybe they would like the feeling that results. The bad would be reduced and the good grown!Nov 30 2011: Start small. Impact another. It WILL spread. Join the club, many are doing positives everyday, but we need the help of others to create the hopeful 7 Billion helpful actions across the Globe!
Dec 1 2011: If we all suggest this to one other person imagine the snowball effect this could have. It is about time that word of mouth marketed something worth spreading rather than rumours and the latest fad.Nov 29 2011: It should be like that that, because it would make a chain of good things, not to say happiness for the moment or longer. I know i always feel better as a human even with helping someone to pick up a pen they dropped, not to mention something bigger. People have walls around them, everyone are taught to be selfish. This is one of the ways to wake up the goodness in people that has been sleeping in for too long.
Ben Maudlin
Dec 1 2011: My sentiment exactly if we can show people how by being altruistic can benefit them personally then it can start to change people to do good onto others. It is a shame that it takes showing them the personal gains of being good to others in order to get people to start. But it is better than everyone just blundering along in their own selfish (for lack of a better word) paths. Collective good is a phrase that I hear being thrown about a lot at the moment with the EU financial crisis but why does this term only extend to matters of finance nowadays. Collective good is exactly why I am involved in TED. Groups of people trying to share ideas for the collective good of everyone.
- +2
Lucas Burns
Nov 28 2011: How about a day every few months dedicated to altruism to "shape" the year with some altruism? Form a group of people who dedicate themselves to this, hold events, write about altruism and "selfish-altruism", have every member tweet the one altruistic thing they did each altruism day, and spread the word. Spread it virally and we may be one step closer to a more altruistic world. :)
- +2
Dec 1 2011: This is exactly what I commented just before, that it is It is about time that word of mouth marketed something worth spreading rather than rumours and the latest fad. The same goes for internet sensations and viral emails, tweets and videos. Imagine the possibility of doing such a thing. I am looking at the possibility of trying to run a TEDxHealth event looking at the disadvantaged, perhaps after that I we can collaborate and run a TEDxAltruism Event in to countries. Now that would spread the idea quickly! In the meantime I'm telling as many people as I can and will continue to do my altruistic things each day. It doesn't even take any real extra effort, things happen right in front of you that you can help. The example given before of dropping something when your hands are full seems like such a trivial example. But it has happened to all of us and when someone stops and helps you it really does make your day. Imagine doing that for someone whenever you could. Holding a door or an elevator, such incites have been lost in the modern world!Nov 30 2011: YES BEN...I see the big picture...let's go for it!!! Every journey starts with a single step:>)
Dec 1 2011: Couldn't have said it better myself. I started doing this long ago, extending a hand as often as I could to friends, family and employers!

Nov 29 2011: Ben, I think your thinking and expression of that is right on the nose. We have the power right now to co-create the world of our highest dreams. All we need to do is to live according to our highest, positive beliefs. No point in waiting for others to get it. I suspect we have begun. And I know we are having positive impacts. At this very moment good things are happening to good people. Some of those things may have been caused by good things you or I did 3 or 7 years ago. Occasionally, I receive feedback from people that things I said or did a long time ago had positive impacts. There are lag times in information flows. I believe.....positive cause/positive effect. Let us continue. There is a contagion of positive acts. You and I are a part of it. Everyone who says or does anything that is positive is a part of it. This is our world. Let's co-create it to make everyone healthy, prosperous and happy. May as well.

Dec 1 2011: Couldn't agree more. This is exactly what we need to do spread the idea however we can and hope that people see the benefit from doing good things!
Dec 1 2011: We are doing it and we are succeeding. Maybe things will speed up. I hope so. In the meantime, we will just continue doing all the positive things we do and having positive impacts of which we are mostly unaware. But who cares! We understand the positive cause/positive effect relationships and we are aware of our individual and joint power to accomplish all of our positive goals. It's hard to see sometimes, but I know we are succeeding. Right on!Dec 1 2011: I think ben you have a great idea. like what Elizabeta said the world is taught to be selfish. it's would be great if people starts even an act of kindness a day to 1 person. that would spark a greater good to the world. with so many things happening around the world people without jobs, food and we are just rushing but not living as we ought to.
You share a common goal as i have. to start touching lives by act of kindness!
Dec 1 2011: It is my guess that there are many more people out there that share our goal. The hard part is organising them, but if we all spread the word then anything is possible and it is only a matter of time before it take hold!

Nov 30 2011: I am not sure how many of the 7 billion people are babies and elderly. BTW Those are super amazing TED Talks.

Dec 1 2011: According to the CIA world fact-book updated in July 2011,
0-14 years: 26.3% (male 944,987,919/female 884,268,378)
15-64 years: 65.9% (male 2,234,860,865/female 2,187,838,153)
65 years and over: 7.9% (male 227,164,176/female 289,048,221) (2011 est.)
That's still over 4 billion people and I don't see why those over 65 can't get involved either!Nov 29 2011: Let me know when to start.
Dec 1 2011: My advice - start yesterday!Nov 29 2011: Epitome of an epic. An epiphany starting an epidemic of epiphenomena. My idea is to spread HOPE using a fictional story as a guide.
Please keep an open mind. The idea is to write a book that inspires people to do what the book says. The book is the fictional story of The Second Foundation bringing these ideas (H2OPE, The A.R.C., and S.O.R.O.S.) to reality. Think of the book as a screenplay or business plan for the world. It would use computer modeling to get as close as possible to what could happen. It would sprinkle planned events through the book, that will happen after the book is out. For example, in chapter 2, there could be this charity ball where Oprah buys a bottle of H2OPE for a million dollars, this would then take place in real life (right on cue). This kind of thing, would be spread all through the book. The roll of a lifetime, an appearance in the book that aims to change the world. The book should be as accurate as possible as to be the manual. Showing people what to do and what will happen when they do. The book will show that by purchasing the H2OPE all that will happen. H2OPE (message in a bottle) is the unifier. It has many attributes, it can be quantified, by being distinctive it allows people to see others following the plan, this is a critical component for generating faith. It is easy to market; 1) buy one and someone in the world gets one for free; 2) start a collection (messages are infinite) your collection shows your contribution and can be used during an emergency; 3) use to teach another language, show duck in multiple languages; 4) use code or rfid to link to web sites generating traffic i.e. get Linden Dollars in Second Life; many marketing strategies are available. The idea is to release H2OPE at the same time as the book. Reality starts to mirror the book and the ball is rolling. This is by no means the whole plan.
Please visit my photos to get a little better understanding of the H2OPE, The ARC, and the SOROS. I look forward to ALL
Dec 1 2011: This is an interesting idea and i think it has great potential! You should start this as a separate idea so that you don't get lost in this idea as i think your idea is to good to get lost in such a way!
That would be a lovely way to market a product and I can see the positive potential of NGOs and NFPO selling products (at cost) in such a way. You must just be sure it doesn't get misconstrued as a cleverly marketed product rather than a message of H2OPE.
Very clever though!

Comments On Jul 08, 2015:this skid is more expensive than others, but already have all holes to let dirt go through. So if you have time and Tools, you can buy cheaper skid, but if you don't, go with pro armor!

Comments On Jul 07, 2014:This skid fits very well on my Raptor 700r and is a great upgrade from the stock plastic unit. I mounted the plate and went for a ride and the plate vibrated very bad and caused a horrible noise. I purchased some sticky backed weather stripping from Lowes and added it to the unit where it came in contact with the underside of the ATV and I haven't had an issue since. The cutouts also make cleaning easier as the mud and dirt can fall through the bottom of the plate. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to upgrade their stock skid guard.

Comments On Mar 27, 2014:Put this on my 08 Raptor 700R, great fit and quality that you would expect from Pro Armor. I added more weatherstripping where it comes in contact with the frame (from past experience with a Pro Armor full skid on another sport atv). The risers on the front that protect some of the front by the oil rezzy is a nice touch with some nice laser cuts. I had the Tusk Nerf bars and had to do some re-arranginging to get this skid plate to work with these bars due to the risers but finally I was able to get it to work. The chevron cuts are great for washing out durt and debris, one of the main reasons I chose this plate since I ride trails, fields, and anywhere else I can get to. A bit pricey but worth on the full body plate.

Serious **** guys.
New York Jets football practice was delayed nearly two hours today after a player reported finding an unknown white, powdery substance on the practice field. Head Coach Rex Ryan immediately suspended practice and called the police and federal investigators. After a complete analysis, FBI forensics experts determined that the white substance unknown to the player was the goal line. Practice resumed after special agents decided the team was unlikely to encounter the substance again this season.

With a Rockville construction company as a backdrop, President Barack Obama pressed Congress on Thursday to vote to end the federal government shutdown that began Tuesday after the Republican-majority House of Representatives and Democrat-majority U.S. Senate failed to agree on any spending bills for fiscal 2014.
"Unfortunately if this continues, businesses like this are going to feel and experience the negative impact," Montgomery County Council President Nancy Navarro said after the rally.
The rally took place at M. Luis Construction Co., which started 25 years ago by a family from Portugal that didn't speak English, said Filipe Dominigues, a cousin of the owners. Sisters Cidalia Luis-Akbar and Natalia Luis bought the company from their father. Obama offered Luis Construction as an example of a small business that will feel the effect of the government shutdown and one that has benefitted from government assistance such as Small Business Association loans.
The Gazette was not allowed inside the event because press was limited.
Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring expressed frustration with Congress and the risk the shutdown poses to the economy.
"I think locally we are really going to have to start to assess the impact," she said.
Groups of residents gathered outside hoping to catch a glimpse of the president, while police roped off the area and redirected traffic briefly.
Rep. Christopher Van Hollen Jr. (D-Dist. 8) of Kensington said Obama's "basic message was, let's vote today," to open the government.
He said the House would pass a basic bill today reopening the government, but that House Speaker John Boehner was not allowing a vote in the House.
"He's been listening to this very reckless faction within the House Republication party," he said.
"You don't reduce your debt by not paying your bills," Obama said in his speech, "it just makes you unreliable."
Councilman Craig Rice (D-Dist. 3) of Germantown said he was glad to see Obama put a face to the effects of the shutdown. Rather than a government shutdown, "we need to talk about this in terms of a people shutdown," he said.
When a project stops because of the shutdown, construction workers may not get paid next week, Rice said.
"We have folks like that all throughout the county, who are being negatively impacted by the government shutdown," he said.
Councilman Hans Riemer (D-At large) of Takoma Park was among those who shook hands with Obama after the speech.
Riemer served as the President's National and Youth Director during the 2008 presidential campaign and Riemer's wife, Angela, worked on the president's 2006 U.S. Senate campaign.
Riemer and the President caught up on how Riemer's family is doing — Reimer's son was born during the 2008 campaign. Obama told Riemer to bring his family to the White House for a visit, the councilman said.
Several local businesses said they had been notified of Obama's visit on Monday. Enterprise rental car branch manager Lindsey Chester said that they were continuing with their usual business, but that parking was somewhat of a challenge.

The group record songs about Lancashire, technology and British culture (e.g. "Chippy Tea", "He''s Turned Emo", "eBay Eck"). Their songs make use of Lancashire dialect.

A big thanks to Ed (if you are reading this) he was absolutely a Saint after my barrage of questioning. I looked at this mount primarily for SV80ST and my C9.25 Edge HD. Not to mention that it can be put on my existing CGEM tripod! I did not have to get yet another tripod. I can use what I have. The motions on it are a dream. Very smooth. I did get the longer flex handles but did not include them on the pics. Another big relief, I can now change EPs without the need to rebalance the OTA. If it does go a little out of balance, I can just tighten the clutch, change and loosen clutch. The only thing I didn't get was the DSC tray, Sky Commander (or similar) and the bag. Working on it though.
Anyway, because I got a new toy; I won't be able to use it. I did it big time. We have this irritant called Sandy that is ready to barrel down on us and it will be a week before any semblance of sunshine! My fault???
Thanks for looking!
