“Song, songs kept them going and going;
They didn’t realize the millions of seeds they were sowing.
They were singing in marches, even singing in jail.
Songs gave them the courage to believe they would not fail.”
Pete Seeger

Ahmedabad, India — Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama calls himself a Marxist monk, because “Marxism is more ethical, unlike capitalism”.
<< Dalai Lama: I’m a Marxist monk
At a gathering at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A), he said: “I am a Marxist monk, a Buddhist Marxist. I belong to the Marxist camp, because unlike capitalism, Marxism is more ethical. Marxism, as an ideology, takes care of the welfare of its employees and believes in distribution of wealth among the people of the state.”
Delivering a lecture on Ethics and Business, the Tibetan leader-in-exile said the global economy has created vast economic differences in every country of the world. “In the absence of ethical handling of money, the whole community suffer from a sense of insecurity. Exploitation of workers is maximum in developing countries. There are very high degrees of exploitation in India and China, similar to the exploitation during industrialisation of Western countries a century ago,” he said.
Ethics, the Dalai Lama said, could be categorised as theistic, non-theistic, and secular, and need not be based on religious faith.
“In all the three cases, the definition of ethics remains the same. Both theistic and non-theistic religions advocate love, forgiveness, tolerance and compassion. Secular ethics, on the other hand, is based on the realisation of the same ideas on the basis of common sense and individual experience.
“Trust and openness should be the foundation of business ethics. Even according to modern scientific research, warm heartedness is important for the happiness, well-being and health of a person. Consequentially, it forms a sounds base for a happy society,” the Dalai Lama said.
Look at the picture above and you can see where this guy broke through the guardrail, right side where the people are standing on the road (pointing). The pick-up was traveling from right to left when it crashed through the guardrail. It flipped end-over-end, across the culvert outlet, and landed right side up on the left side of the culvert, facing the opposite direction from which he was traveling.
Some of the new features in Firefox 3 are not immediately obvious — at least, not to the casual user. Among other things, Mozilla is incorporating new graphics- and text-rendering architectures in its browser layout engine (Gecko 1.9) to offer rendering improvements in CSS and SVG; adding a number of security features, including malware protection
With social networks coming in every variety and flavor these days, it was really only a matter of time before the feel good hippies of yesteryear carved out their own niche. I came across Zaadz while working for Calabash Music, and even though I was doing a very specific type of work, I got a good sense of who’s on the site and what it’s all about. What I found was pleasantly shocking.
Aimed at the non-2.0 generation, Zaadz is a genuinely wholesome network that invites each “zaadzster” to explain on how he or she (or ze) is going to change the world. From the marketing campaign that I worked on for Calabash, the responsiveness from users is incredible. There are no mass promotion tools, and virtually no spammers because Zaadz hand approves each user for the site. Of the 300 or so users that I painstakingly contacted about Calabash, the vast majority replied warmly and have since supported the site.
So what does this mean for music? Well, beside the major setback of no onboard music players or mass promotion tools, it means you have a user base of the most creatively inclined (though healthily sheltered) people on the net. Zaadz is more geared toward the individual, but so was MySpace back in the day, so don’t let that stop you. If you’re ready to screw time efficiency and build up a genuine fan base, Zaadz might just be the best way to do it.
