Mustafa Akyol: Faith versus tradition in Islam | Video on TED.com

2011-05-28T14:47:00.004-06:00

"At TEDxWarwick, journalist Mustafa Akyol talks about the way that some local cultural practices (such as wearing a headscarf) have become linked, in the popular mind, to the articles of faith of Islam. Has the world's general idea of the Islamic faith focused too much on tradition, and not enough on core beliefs?" This phenomenon articulated in this TED Talk happened/is happening in Christianity and Judaism. It is a religious, political, and sociological phenomenon in all religious traditions, sects, and trends. What can we learn about our own faith versus tradition?

Face of Mideast unrest: young and hungry for jobs | Minnesota Public Radio News: "Egyptian protesters face anti-riot policemen in Cairo, Egypt, Friday, Jan. 28, 2011. The Egyptian capital Cairo was the scene of violent chaos Friday, when tens of thousands of anti-government protesters stoned and confronted police, who fired back with rubber bullets, tear gas and water cannons. It was a major escalation in what was already the biggest challenge to authoritarian President Hosni Mubarak's 30 year-rule. (AP Photo/Victoria Hazou) (Victoria Hazou/ASSOCIATED PRESS)

From the Aspen Institute

2010-02-01T20:43:00.000-06:00

Aspen's question: "Was the Christmas Day bombing attempt an isolated incident, or do we have bigger problems in aviation security? What should governments and airlines do to prevent this from happening again?"

My response: While it was and will not be an isolated event, by putting into practice extreme state-side security measures, we are responding in Pavlovian ways. The problem with the Christmas Day attempt was a failure in the larger, global security system, not with whether all passengers should have had a body scan. Our system has huge holes in it; he never should have been allowed on the plane given the security reports we had on him, as well as his profile and behavior. I also worry about full body scans for transgendered people and if their gender identity will make them unfairly targeted as suspects.

Urban Explorers: Into The Darkness - a documentary film

With the disappearance of landscape in urban areas, the spelunker instinct explores urban underground caves, sewer systems, and abandoned buildings. Fabulous still photography by the urban explorers makes this documentary visually stunning. The film needs to be more tightly edited, as parts are slow or unnecessary. Yet, comedic and adventurous elements combine well to make this documentary about the human curiosity of discovering what is hidden right under our feet worth watching. See my website

Fear Based Decisions: Death by 1000 "No's"

Death by 1000 No's

It's not about the one big mistake.

Despite what you have been told it's rare that the career of an artist, or the legacy of an arts organization, is crushed by one big mistake.

It's all the little mistakes that do it.

It's all the times you said "No".

No to producing that creative, but risky piece of work because you were scared of the possible financial downside.

No to hiring that younger, but less experienced person as your new Director of Development. Sure she could have bought in new ideas and strategies but the Board wanted someone more "stable."

No to giving your staff that pay raise they deserved.

No to getting rid of that toxic staff member that is killing morale.

No to actively seeking that artistic mentor that could help guide your career.

That's how things crumble, one fear based decision at a time.

The good news is that the opposite is true.

I have seen organizations saved, careers re-ignited because of a few good, brave, timely decisions.

There are a thousand variables that pave the road to artistic success, luck, timing, skill, connections, etc.

But mostly, all of us are nothing more then the sum total of our decisions.
