Using Google SuperVote To Create The Super States Of America (Paperback): Michael Mathiesen Using Google SuperVote To Create The Super States Of America (Paperback)
Michael Mathiesen
R209 Discovery Miles 2 090 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Using Google Super Vote to Create The Super States of America is all about how to use the latest Internet Voting technology to save this country and later the world from the rule of the "Puny and Undersized Brain Trust." Google Super-Vote is used currently to choose the viewer's favorite contestants to be the next American Idol. We can use this same Internet Technology to select from a wider range of candidates and a wider range of ideas. I became interested in real democracy in America when I was asked by President Nixon to join his highly immoral, unethical, and highly destructive military machine and participate in the horror known as Viet Nam. It was this most perplexing moment in my life that made me realize there had to be a better way to conduct the affairs of what I and many millions of other people all over the world considered to be the greatest country of all time, and this decision not our finest hour. Everyone I knew and millions of Americans, were protesting against this war. Yet, one man, Lyndon Johnson and then his successor Richard Nixon defied the will of the vast majority of American people and decided to have his little war despite public opinion, citing 'The Silent Majority'. According to Nixon, most people supported him by their silence. Until the invention of the Internet, we had no voice, so they still can consider us a 'Silent Majority' and much of the evil in this world is perpetrated even today under this banner. With Google Super-Vote and the rest of the Internet's wonderful and amazing technology the MAJORITY need not, nor can be silent any longer. Voting on the Internet is an idea whose time has come. Let's allow our greatest minds at Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, etc. put together the best type of democracy we can have. In History, there are moments like this only once in a lifetime. If the vast majority of the reading public can support this idea, the vast majority of the American people will always be the winners. Google is perhaps the single greatest influence on our lives in the past few years more so than any other single entity. Recently Google has ventured into Immortality, Electric cars that drive themselves, Fiber-Optics, TV, movies, music and much more. Why not allow this amazing group of talented and highly innovative engineers re-design our system of government so that America can once again regain her former glory as the best and most beloved nation on Earth? Google's corporate motto is 'Do No Evil'. And, though, this motto expresses, a highly unambitious approach, at least they strive to do no evil every day. With Google making the Super-Vote technology available to all of the voting public in America today, they will be able to change their motto to 'Do Lots of Good'. The motto of this book - if a book could have a motto - would be "Let every citizen, every corporation leave the world a better place than how they found it." For even a corporate entity, which the United States Supreme Court has declared to be a 'Living Person'. My goal as an author is to accomplish at least this much in my life. If you share this goal with me this book will show you the most impactful, the highest and best way in which you can achieve it with hundreds of examples. And, lest you think this is the responsibility of the elected politicians to do everything the right way - you are sadly mistaken. Why doesn't Obama allow us to use Google Super-Vote right now to vote on Obamacare? Why are we not using it to vote on continued War and Financial Support in Afghanistan and Pakistan - Two places that HATE US? Why doesn't Congress allow us to vote on their salaries? Why don't they let us use Google Super-Vote in the next election of 2016? Why don't we use Google Super-Vote to prevent the next useless war and senseless war or to Abolish the IRS? Or how to create more JOBS in America? Imagine the possibilities. In this book, we do more t

Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 - 7 January 1943) was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, physicist, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Tesla's achievements and his abilities as a showman demonstrating his seemingly miraculous inventions made him world-famous.Although he made a considerable amount of money from his patents, he spent a lot financing his own projects. He lived for most of his life in a series of New York hotels although the end of his patent income and eventual bankruptcy led him to live in diminished circumstances. Tesla's work fell into relative obscurity after his death, but since the 1990s, his reputation has experienced a resurgence in popular culture. His work and reputed inventions are also at the center of many conspiracy theories and have also been used to support various pseudosciences, UFO theories and New Age occultism. In 1960, in honor of Tesla, the General Conference on Weights and Measures for the International System of Units dedicated the term "tesla" to the SI unit measure for magnetic field strength.

The demands for food supply, socio-economic factors, environmental and technological revolution as well as political factors; many of which are spatially specific, have been identified as tools that shaped the characteristic trends in agricultural systems evolution. It is important to know that the performance of agriculture measured (before now) in terms of food, fiber and bio-energy production is now, to a large extent, measured on a range of other social and environmental outcomes, positive and negative. However, the emerging consensus of agricultural mechanization at meeting the needs of a growing and potentially more prosperous global population mainly from the existing stock of agricultural resources has gone a long way in saving the world's ecosystems that could have been irreparably damaged. These needs therefore necessitated a study of the historic events that led to agricultural evolution, revolution, and developments that transcends the old and the new worlds to the 18th century agricultural and industrial revolutions; the 19th century innovations in tools mechanization and power developments, the 20th century complex machines and equipment design and manufacturing among others, which this book gave an explicit account of from the pre-agricultural times (over 3million years ago) through the agricultural times (10,000 years ago) into the agro-based times (19th and 20th centuries) and the emerging sustainable technologies in agricultural mechanization of the 21st century, thereby incorporating future developments.

Now he's a man with not only a runaround sofa, but also a road-legal office, shed, bed and bathroom. His first car was a more conventional 1303 Texas yellow Beetle, the start of an ongoing love affair with VW, even though it got him arrested for attempted armed robbery. A human volcano of ideas and the ingenuity to make them happen, Edd is exhilarating company. Join him on his wild, wheeled adventures; see inside his engineering heroics; go behind the scenes on Wheeler Dealers. Climb aboard his giant motorised shopping trolley, and let him take you into his parallel universe of possibility.

Maxwell, Sutton, and the Birth of Color Photography - A Binocular Study (Hardcover): J. Cat Maxwell, Sutton, and the Birth of Color Photography - A Binocular Study (Hardcover)
J. Cat
R2,162 Discovery Miles 21 620 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The 1861 collaboration between physicist James Clerk Maxwell and photographer Thomas Sutton was a landmark episode in the history of optics and photography, resulting in the famous "Tartan ribbon" image: the first permanent color photograph in history. This focused and incisive study from Maxwell scholar Jordi Cat reassesses this partnership, situating it within the histories of objectivity, experiment, and collaboration. Cat reveals that Maxwell and Sutton were closer to true partners than has commonly been assumed, and shows how their experiments illuminate the role of Victorian technology, representational practices, and modes of participation in Maxwell's natural philosophy.

How to think laterally, how to get advice, and when you should stop theorising and start testing In Section 2: Projects you can build, there is everything from a solar-heated cat or dog kennel - to a jet-powered scooter From a simple and very cheap seismograph that's sensitive enough to detect people walking up to your front door, to how you can build speakers into the walls and floor of your house. If you'd like to make an electric bike, you can see in detail how such a bike was achieved at home. There's also cutting-edge technology (including developing tuned-mass dampers to reduce driving light vibration); a very sophisticated, fully suspended pedal-powered recumbent trike; and an aerodynamic electric car. You'd like to make a drill press or lathe tacho? - that's covered as well. In fact, there are 19 different projects Finally, want to know how can you get a whole lot of useful parts for nothing? In Section 3: Salvaging Parts, the author looks at the good bits you can find for nothing in discarded photocopiers, microwave ovens, cordless drills and air conditioners. The Inventors and Amateur Engineers Sourcebook has hours of entertainment packed into its pages. Browse it for an interesting read - or take it out to the home workshop and start putting the ideas straight into action
