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.
What effect does creativity have on individuals, groups and
societies, and on the fundamental values on which they base their
actions and institutions? What constitutes good and evil, right and
wrong, and how does creativity disrupt these beliefs? 'The Ethics
of Creativity' brings together an impressive collaboration of
thinkers from several countries and disciplines to illuminate the
thorny issues that arise when novel ideas and products brought
forth by creativity collide with the rules and norms of what we
believe to be right or good.
It has been upon the shoulders of giants that the modern world has
been forged. This accessible compendium presents an insight into
the great minds responsible for the technology which has
transformed our lives. Each pioneer is introduced with a brief
biography, followed by a concise account of their key contributions
to their discipline. The selection covers a broad spread of
historical and contemporary figures from theoreticians to
entrepreneurs, highlighting the richness of the field of computing.
Suitable for the general reader, this concise and easy-to-read
reference will be of interest to anyone curious about the inspiring
men and women who have shaped the field of computer science.
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.

Serbian inventor NIKOLA TESLA (1857-1943) was a revolutionary
scientist who forever changed the scientific fields of electricity
and magnetism. Tesla's greatest invention, A/C current, powers
almost all of the technological wonders in the world today, from
home heating to computers to high-tech robotics. His discoveries
gave mankind the television. And his dream of wireless
communication came to pass in both the radio and eventually the
cell phone. Yet his story remains widely unknown. History buffs,
science enthusiasts, backyard inventors, and anyone who has ever
dared to dream big will find the life of Nikola Tesla, written in
his own words, engaging, informative, and humorous in its
eccentricity.
SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER. As you'll discover in his incomparable
memoir, inventor, mechanic, TV presenter and walking tall as the
definition of the British eccentric, Edd China sees things
differently. An unstoppable enthusiast from an early age, Edd had
35 ongoing car projects while he was at university, not counting
the double-decker bus he was living in. 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.
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.
Nathan Coppedge has been hailed as one of the top three theorists
of perpetual motion, the others being Isaac Newton and Albert
Einstein. This is the long-awaited print form of Nathan's designs,
including all variations of the first twelve concepts Nathan
thought up. Also included are the 'early failures, ' 'perpetual
motion oddities', and 'apparatures' or mobile building concepts.
This edition has been updated to include additional theories of
volitional mechanics, as well as several of the most recent
concepts that Nathan designed.
The book is for everyone who likes to tinker in their home workshop
In Section 1: Ideas and Approaches, the author looks at how you can
develop new projects and inventions. 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
