To celebrate two years and 50 million TED talks, TED has released for the first time the list of the Top 10 TED talks. These are the talks that have proven most popular over time…. (The most popular talk, viewed 2 1/2 million times and counting, features neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor, who observed her own stroke while it was happening.)
Two of Three 2009 TedPrize Winners are females!
Females could frequently be described as lacunae (a missing part, blank space, gap) in the scientific community. But now, thanks to organizations such as TED, female’s expertise and achievements are surfacing as never before. Two of three 2009 TedPrize Winners are females, and their careers have been dedicated to the extreme heights and depths of scientific realms. See Lynne’s Albeit rantler, Simple as One, Two, Three, to be distributed and posted on November 16. |

At the turn of this century, in a rare burst of feel-good solidarity at the United Nations, member governments signed on to a very ambitious set of measures to combat just about everything wrong on the planet: poverty, disease, inequality, environmental degradation and imbalanced international finance and trade. They called the plan the Millennium Development Goals. This month, halfway to a 2015 finish line, comes the first big reckoning. (From Listen to the Women by Barbara Crossette, The Nation’s United Nations correspondent. Full article here.)

The role our brains play in defining dissident gender realities
Unbeknownst to her, Jill Bolte Taylor explained for me in less than nineteen minutes what has taken me several decades to try to understand—the biological differences between the left (masculine) and right (feminine) hemispheres of the human brain. She did it the short but hard way, however. A neuroanatomist by profession, Jill was afflicted on December 10, 1996 by a massive stroke, and for four hours witnessed her self becoming as an infant again—helpless but conscious. After watching her February 2008 video talk (18:44) at TED, it became clearer to me why the world is in such a state of political, religious, and economical upheaval, i.e., at the mercy of the masculine serial processor. Watch it here. |

From Dark Star Safari by Paul Theroux
I was certainly better off than the Harari woman cowering in a doorway who was being beaten by a man with a heavy stick just inside Harar’s main gate. She screeched as the robed and turbaned older man, with a grizzled beard, whacked her across her body using the thick part of the stick. A woman squatting near her made a face and leaned away, so as not to be hit by mistake. No one else took any notice. When he was through, the man was a little puffed from his exertion—whaling on someone with a stick is heavy work. The woman howled and bowed down, holding her head, and the man walked away swinging his stick, in the manner of a husband who has just done his duty….Men are beasts all over the world… |
