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.

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.

live on "going home" DVD
lyrics:
Some of them were dreamers
And some of them were fools
Who were making plans and thinking of the future
With the energy of the innocent
They were gathering the tools
They would need to make their journey back to nature
While the sand slipped through the opening
And their hands reached for the golden ring
With their hearts they turned to each others heart for refuge
In the troubled years that came before the deluge
Some of them new pleasure
And some of them knew pain
And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
And on the brave and crazy wings of youth
They went flying around in the rain
And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered
And in the end they traded their tired wings
For the resignation that living brings
And exchanged loves bright and fragile glow
For the glitter and the rouge
And in the moment they were swept before the deluge
Now let the music keep our spirits high
And let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by
By and by--
When the light thats lost within us reaches the sky
Some of them were angry
At the way the earth was abused
By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power
And they struggled to protect her from them
Only to be confused
By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
In the naked dawn only a few survived
And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge
Now let the music keep our spirits high
And let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by
By and by--
When the light thats lost within us reaches the sky

In the first of a series of mini-films, Excellent Development explains how its approach to creating development through conservation is benefiting communities in Kenya.
In addition to exploring each individual element of the charities holistic approach to soil and water conservation, these films also offer a valuable insight into how Sand Dams, a key element of Excellent Development's approach, represent an effective and necessary small-scale approach to strengthening communities' long-term sustainability.
Whilst being critical to improving water supplies, food production, health and incomes for communities in semi-arid Kenya, sand dams are also a grassroots answer to fighting climate change, a benefit recently reinforced by the release of the government commissioned Stern Report.
The Stern Report has renewed attention on the impacts of climate change in Africa highlighting their uneven distribution, with the poorest countries being most affected.
Simon Maddrell, Excellent Development co-founder comments, "The development challenges in semi-arid Africa are completely different to the industrial nations. In semi-arid Africa it is conservation that can actually create sustainable development. Water and soil conservation provides farmers with the environment to create livelihoods by creating oases in semi-arid lands that can support water and food security. Arguably, the communities we are working with are doing far more to reverse the impacts of climate change than any of us in the West. They deserve our support, not just because they struggle to sustain their lives, but as global citizens concerned with the future of our planet."

The video demonstrated the assembly process for the Uber Shelter prototype. We are an organization focused on designing emergency shelters to meet the needs of different climates terrains family sizes and cultures.
The model shown in this video is a collapsible, 2 story, 190 square foot, 3 roomed shelter with 2 of the rooms fully
insulated. The second floor is a sleeping loft which utilizes vertical space for increased living area. It is
shipped flat in a 4x8x2 package that is unfolded and assembled on site. It is man-portable and
assembled with a wrench. The key feature that separates our design from any shelter in the field is that
the Über is raised off the ground. This feature is imperative for weather purposes. Telescoping legs allow
the shelter to remain level on uneven terrain. The Über Shelter is in prototype phase and is being tested.

United Nations, New York, January 24 2011 - 2010 was one of the deadliest years for natural disasters in the past two decades and unless better preparations are put in place now, many more disasters can be expected in years to come, the UN's top disaster reduction official said today.
Some 373 natural disasters claimed the lives of more than 296,800 people last year, affecting nearly 208 million and costing nearly $110 billion, according to annual data compiled by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) of the Université catholique de Louvain in Belgium, and supported by the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), the UN body charged with helping coordinate efforts to achieve substantive reduction in disaster losses and build resilient nations and communities.

United Nations, New York, 12 June 2009 - Noon briefing by the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. On 13 June 2009, the Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will launch the WMD-WeMustDisarm multiplatform campaign, beginning the 100-day countdown to the International Day of Peace.
The General Assembly decided to commemorate the day annually on 21 September as a day of global ceasefire and non-violence. This year, the theme focuses on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
Joining the Secretary-General in promoting the campaign are:
* UN Messenger of Peace and Academy Award-winning actor and producer Michael Douglas, who has championed the cause of disarmament for the UN since 1998; and
* Rainn Wilson, featured actor in the American television comedy, The Office, who has more than 800,000 followers on Twitter;
Over the next 100 days leading up to 21 September, they, along with the Secretary-General, will raise awareness of the costs and dangers of nuclear weapons by issuing a daily message, via Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, email and radio, urging the world to disarm. The Secretary-General is taking the lead by issuing the first 10 tweets of the campaign.
We would also like to encourage any one wishing to get involved to send tweets on nuclear disarmament and non proliferation, re-tweet the Secretary-Generals messages, sign up to dedicated Facebook or MySpace pages, or all of the above.
In his message to mark the 100-day countdown to the International Day of Peace, the Secretary-General said, As we observe the International Day of Peace with world leaders gathered in New York for the 64th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, I will proclaim one strong, simple message: We Must Disarm!

The music video 8 Goals for Africa unites Africa's best known musicians to bring voice to an awareness-raising campaign that calls for commitment to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) — a set of eight internationally-agreed goals designed to reduce poverty, hunger, disease, and maternal and child deaths by 2015. As part of the campaign, developed by the United Nations System in Africa, the music video will be screened throughout the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa across all the fan parks and public viewing areas.
The music video features Yvonne Chaka Chaka from South Africa, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Angelique Kidjo from Benin, Oliver Mtukudzi from Zimbabwe, Eric Wainaina from Kenya, Baaba Maal from Senegal, and the Soweto Gospel Choir from South Africa. World renowned jazz musicians Hugh Masekela and Jimmy Dludlu from South Africa are instrumentalists on the track, produced by Arthur Baker from the United States of America.
UNIFEM is one of a number of UN agencies charged with supporting countries in moving forward on the MDGs. The eight goals, adopted by the international community in 2000, set targets for 2015 on eradicating poverty, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality and empowering women, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV and AIDS and other diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability, and providing financing for development. All eight MDGs touch essential aspects of women's well-being, and in turn, women's empowerment is critical for achieving the goals.
The song and music video are available free of charge at the 8 Goals for Africa website.

United Nations, New York, 30 September 2009 - The Security Council today demanded that all parties to armed conflict take immediate action to protect civilians, including women and children, from all forms of sexual violence, and urged greater measures by States and the United Nations to combat this scourge.
In a unanimously adopted resolution, the Council also requested that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appoint a Special Representative to provide coherent and strategic leadership to address sexual violence in armed conflict.
In addition, the 15-member body called on the UN chief to identify and take appropriate measures to deploy rapidly a team of experts to situations of particular concern with respect to sexual violence in armed conflict.

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight specific targets set by the world's nations to reduce extreme poverty by 2015.
The Australian Government is committed to helping achieve the Millennium Development Goals through its aid program.

As people who care about the state of our world and the struggles of humanity, you and I -- and everyone who supports the United Nations -- have a role to play in advancing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
I like to think of the MDGs as the world's priority "to-do" list for lifting the standards of human living. If that's something you think is important, then the MDGs are your to-do list, as well.
Please take a moment to watch a message on why these issues matter, and join me by putting something on your own MDG to-do list.
This is my challenge for you: Do at least one thing to contribute to achieving the MDGs today. For example, help fight preventable diseases by donating an anti-malaria bed net through the UN Foundation's Nothing But Nets campaign. Raise awareness about how promoting women and children's health must be a global priority. Or advance gender equity by joining our new "Girl Up" initiative and share it with the young women in your life. You'll move us closer to realizing the MDGs with every action you take through the UN Foundation.
We have a lot of progress to make in order to advance the MDGs. If we're going to turn things around, you're going to be the one to make it happen. Change starts with you.
What will you do today?
Thank you,
Ted Turner
Founder and Chairman, UN Foundation

Peace One Day - www.peaceoneday.org
A Short Video Explaining Peace One Day and the efforts of Jeremy Gilley, an actor turned film maker, who in the late 1990's became preoccupied with questions about the fundamental nature of humanity and the issue of peace. He decided to explore these through the medium of film, and specifically, to create a documentary following his campaign to establish a day of ceasefire and non-violence.
In 1999, Jeremy founded Peace One Day, a non-profit organisation, and in 2001 Peace One Day's efforts were rewarded when the United Nations unanimously adopted the first-ever day of global ceasefire and non-violence on 21 September annually - Peace Day.
In 2007 according to the UN, over 100 million people were active on Peace Day, in 192 countries. There were life-saving initiatives in 14 countries, and over 80 activities in Afghanistan alone where 1.4 million children were vaccinated against polio.
WHAT WILL YOU DO TO MAKE PEACE
ON 21 SEPTEMBER?
