Do you know any video from TEDx events that is not on TED.com but worth watching?

Considering that hundreds of TEDx events have been held so far with some having their own online archive and YouTube channels, I guess there are more than a few videos from TEDxers that are not on TED.com but are worth spreading to TED communities. So let's shed lights on those hidden treasures.

Please post your recommended TEDx talk videos with brief description and the link to its legitimate archive. For me, those available in English in some form or other would be preferable. I'm especially interested in talks on education in a broad sense, but any recommendation in other areas is also appreciated.

Mar 23 2011: My absolute favourite is the talk by Iain Thomas at TEDxJohannesburg, entitled "You And I, We Are The Same", where he discusses the development of microstories and shows how technology becomes community and how, with a few words, you can affect lives across the world.

Mar 23 2011: From TEDx McGill there are some amazing talks- Profound: Derek Ruths' Jan. 18, 2011 talks on Interconnectivity is wonderful. (the start of the talk belies the depth and significance of the talk).Ian Gold's discussion on the brain and its interaction with the social world has some interesting insights.Some ofther great ones there as well.For those interested in education- Amruth Bagali Ravindran on new tools which integrate cognitive science and artificial intelligence.
Postmodern Leadership is another by Karl Moore- a prof of neurology and management.

Mar 20 2011: I particularly liked this "hidden gem" from TEDxAmsterdam:

http://www.tedxamsterdam.com/2010/bart-koolen-93-of-communication-is-non-verbal/

It is in sign language, with simultaneous translation into English. The illustrations are fabulous ( the speaker is a professional illustrator).

  Mar 23 2011: Thank you. I like the TEDxTalks' Youtube channel but sometimes feel a bit at a loss when choosing which video to watch. That's why I decided to ask TED members for their recommendations.
