During www.affiliatesummit.com in Boston in August 2008, Debby Banning of Market Leverage TV interviews Ted Murphy of IZEA about SocialSpark.
These things just keep on going, and going and going. Over 50 years old and we can still use it. It's a 1000hp diesel electric switcher and this is the view inside the cab. Lots of control pedestals with levers of brass and iron.
Interestingly, this locomotive seldom has its human operator in the cab -- it's radio controlled and it's one I was helping to get running after it developed radio issues.

The MIT SOFT Rockers are smart, clean energy charging stations disguised as outdoor rocking lounge furniture. Unlike conventional ‘hard’ urban infrastructure, The SOFT Rocker leverages its environment in a dynamic manner by using the human power of balance to create an interactive 1.5 axis 35 watt solar tracking system. Soft power electronics designed for this project charge the 12 ampere-hour battery and store solar energy harvested during the day. Put your body weight in play with an interactive, real time energy harvesting feedback loop that senses how you orient the rocker to the sun. Charge or run any USB device from speakers to cell phones and bring your friends to enjoy cool lighting loops at night for social gatherings.
The leaf-like loop form of the SOFT Rockers explores how standard softwood panels can be mass-customized to adapt to the latitude and sun angle of any site using parametric design software and automated fabrication with a lightweight Kuka robotic arm. The SOFT Rocker combines hi-tech and low-tech design strategies: it produces electricity but engages the body and works like furniture “by hand”; it mixes sun tracking and social dynamics; it is a site specific object and a flexible form family of ‘soft’ wood construction. The SOFT Rocker blurs distinctions between pleasure and work and recasts power generation as an integrated and distributed public activity rather than a centralized, singular off-site project of ‘engineering’.

UN Women is leveraging the 2020 anniversaries by identifying strategies to address the pushback
against the rights and equality agenda and chart the way forward to promote greater action with
key funding commitments and enhance accountability for the implementation of the gender
equality commitments. In this regard, UN Women is organizing a civil society-centered, multistakeholder global gathering for gender equality - the Generation Equality Forum.
Purpose of the Session
1. Provide a platform for UN Women and partners to create a Beijing+25/Generation
Equality moment on the sidelines of the ICPD+25 and bring to the fore, the nexus between
these agendas, with a focus on young people.
2. To amplify the experiences and aspirations of young Kenyan women and men on gender
equality 25 years after Beijing PfA
3. Mobilize partnerships in support of Generation Equality campaign from amongst civil
society and particularly young women and men in the lead up to Beijing@25
Outcomes of the session:
1. The voices of young Kenyan women and men made visible in the Beijing@25 dialogue and
connect these voices to the regional mobilization.
2. Inputs to the preparatory process for Generation Equality Forum for further follow up
The session will open brief opening remarks from the Government of Kenya, UN Women’s
Executive Director, one representative from a youth led organization and at least one
representative from a member state in a form of open dialogue, setting the stage context for the
event. This will then be followed by a moderated intervention involving 4 panelists drawn from
amongst young women and men gender equality activists working in various sectors from around
the country. These 5-minute interventions will highlight their engagements with gender issues;
how they are organizing to address these challenges and areas they wish to see more
commitment. The session will then open up for responses from UN Women, the government and
member states present. Engagement with the audience will then follow. The moderator may
share some overall guiding points for the open discussion to drive it towards conclusive
recommendations that can be plugged into the ongoing Beijing+25 conversations. The ED
Government will respond to the issues raised. Then the session will officially close.
The event is expected to draw in approximately 150 participants drawn from the Beijing +25
Youth Taskforce, UN Women’s youth focused CSOs, UN agencies, development partners.

Let’s talk about human nature for a second.
If I were to offer you a succulent, moist, still-warm-from-the-oven piece of triple chocolate cake…
…while simultaneously slamming my heel into your toes…
…which one would you notice? Which one would you react to?
And which one would you still be ...
