MDG 4: Reduce Child Mortality aims to reduce the under‐five mortality rate by two‐thirds between 1990 and 2015. Malaria is a leading killer of children in Africa, where a child dies every 30 seconds from a malaria infection. Bed nets work by creating a protective barrier against deadly, malaria-carrying mosquitoes that bite at night. Nothing But Nets partners with the United Nations to deliver the nets to even the most hard-to-reach areas of Africa. For just $10 we can buy a bed net, distribute it to a family, and explain its use. You and your community play a vital role in reducing child mortality. Take action to raise awareness of the MDGs and help the world reduce child mortality by 2015 at www.unfoundation.org.

What if the world embodied our highest potential? What would it look like? As the structures of modern society crumble, is it enough to respond with the same tired solutions? Or are we being called to question a set of unexamined assumptions that form the very basis of our civilization? This 25-minute retrospective asks us to reflect on the state of the world and ourselves, and to listen more closely to what is being asked of us at this time of unprecedented global transformation.

A bank foreclosure story you've got to see to believe. A Collier County couple turns the tables on Bank of America, the bank that tried to foreclose on their home. Now, the family is foreclosing on the bank! Even bringing trucks and deputies ready to seize property. The foreclosure nightmare started when Warren and Maureen Nyerges paid cash for a home owned by Bank of American in the Golden Gate Estates. They never had a mortgage whatsoever. But, the bank fouled it up and wound up issuing a foreclosure through their attorney. The couple took their case to court and after a year and a half nightmare the foreclosure was dropped. A Collier County judge said Bank of America has to pay the couple's $2,534 legal fees for the error. After more than five months the bank still hadn't paid up. So, the homeowners' attorney did just what the bank would do to get their money, legally seize their assets. "I instructed the deputy to go in and take desks, computers, copiers, filing cabinets, including cash in the drawers," Attorney Todd Allen told WINK News. Outside the Bank of America on Davis Boulevard, several deputies stood by with movers ready to start hauling out the bank's office supplies and furniture. Inside, the homeowners' attorney was locked out of the bank manager's office by deputies while the bank manger tried to figure out what to do. Allen says the manager was visibly shaken, "Having two Sheriff's deputies sitting across your desk, and a lawyer standing behind them, demanding whatever assets are in the bank can be intimidating. But, so is having your home foreclosed on when it wasn't right." After about an hour the bank finally cut a check to satisfy the debt, and no furniture was taken. A representative for Bank of America issued a statement saying they are sorry for the delay in issuing funds. They claim the original request went to an outside attorney who is no longer in business. As for Allen, he calls this a symptom of a larger problem he sees often in the courts, where banks don't perform their due diligence on foreclosure cases. "As a foreclosure defense attorney this is sweet justice."

Exploring the potential for the FDU (www.freedigitaluniverse.com) Virtual Economy to become real enough to address poverty, environment, and Millenium Development Goals (MGDs) such as universal education. FDU is a economy that pays people for participating, and also funds charities; corporations acting as Vendors in the FDU virtual forum earn profits - everyone wins! In this time of crisis, let us explore the potentials of the information age to expand access to emerging markets to empower a truly global economy, this is doable once the poor have a means to earn into the virtual knowledge marketplace. This is our purpose, a free equal human rights forum, with a universal e-currency solvent that is backed by real (public) money, that supports, individuals, charities, and commerce partners. Is this possible you ask, yes, consider this: What if Virtual Worlds were real? What makes them real is their economy. So what if we could buy real goods instead of just virtual products with our earnings? And what if we could include the entire emerging marketplace of users who have no way to currently participate in e-commerce for lack of a cred card? One purpose of the FDU model is to allow those emerging market users who have no credit card or bank account a means to earn into the economy as marketers, publishers, consultants, and through auctions of real world goods. With those earnings they can now purchase Digital Goods and services, or if they have a local exchange (called a SCALE) they can use their earnings in a local barter exchange.

United Nations, New York, 17 September 2010 - In a time-honoured ritual at United Nations Headquarters in New York today Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon rang a bell cast from pennies donated by children from 60 nations to inaugurate the annual International Day of Peace, which this year is dedicated to the world's young. "Young people today are at home with global diversity; they are comfortable in an interconnected world. Yet they are also vulnerable to the forces of extremism," Mr. Ban said before observing a minute of silence and then driving the ringing beam three times into the bell.

In this complete interview, Tibetan Buddhist leader His Holiness the Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa reflects upon the meaning of oneness in this age. Noting how values of oneness hold the Tibetan culture in exile together, His Holiness describes how cultural cohesion has revivified the religious view of metaphysical oneness. His Holiness believes that religion and spirituality must adapt to reflect the evolving human condition, although root causes of suffering remain the same. Spiritual leaders and luminaries can facilitate this adaptation by connecting their spiritual power with the devotional power of the masses. Spirituality can be spread not through commodification, but rather through meaningful and conscious relationships intended to benefit the whole.

VISIT SITE - http://www.theamericandreamfilm.com - If you liked this film please visit our site, donate or buy the dvd, so we may continue sharing with YOU more films on what is going around affecting our lives. The AMERICAN DREAM is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you've been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system. All of us Americans strive for the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away. Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day? THE AMERICAN DREAM takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today. You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track.

http://www.instablogs.com/ Environment change threatens food security Some 400, 000 Kenyans who grow 60 percent of the tea in the country risk losing their livelihood if a temperature rise of only two degrees Celsius occurs due to global warming as large areas would become unsuitable for the crop. The United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) says the agricultural sector is losing up to Shs 200 billion revenue because of soil erosion Large scale uncontrolled human activities like charcoal production, logging, settlement and crop cultivation pose a huge threat. Natural grass for wildebeest has significantly reduced due to expansion of large mechanized wheat farms in the Maasai Mara. The country is likely to be warmer in future up to five degrees Celsius unless urgent interventions were done. While some areas will experience increased drought, others are likely to have more rainfall spelling doom for low lying areas.

To find out more visit the link above and check out the Ashden Awards Blog http:ashdenawards.blogspot.com The Aprovecho Research Centre has assisted the Programme for Biomass Energy Conservation in Southern Africa (ProBEC) in designing biomass stoves for institutional cooking in Lesotho, Malawi, Uganda, Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia. Over 1,500 institutional stoves have been produced and sold by entrepreneurs. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world. There is a huge problem of de-forestation, partly as a result of the high population density and also because large areas of land are taken up with cash crops such as tobacco and tea, which also use enormous amounts of wood for processing. Fuelwood and charcoal are the main fuels for cooking both in homes and institutions in rural areas. In each country ProBEC has involved entrepreneurs in training workshops, where a woodstove of suitable efficiency for each country is developed and engineered with the assistance of an Aprovecho Research Consultant. The stoves are targeted at large institutions, such as schools, prisons and tea-estate kitchens, and use the Aprovecho 'Rocket' combustion approach to give high combustion efficiency and efficient heat transfer to the cooking pot. Practical experience suggests that using the stove saves at least 50% of fuelwood, sometimes more, which can give significant financial savings. The reduction in carbon monoxide and particulates provides a much healthier environment for institutional cooks. Stove production businesses are now well established in Malawi, Uganda and Lesotho, and have produced and sold more than 1,500 institutional stoves. Ken Chilewe, the main producer in Malawi, has made 700 of these.

The AMERICAN DREAM is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you've been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system. All of us Americans strive for the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away. Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day? THE AMERICAN DREAM takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today. You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track. This is not just in America this entrenched scam is world wide!
