Part of the not-so-global community
2008-05-22 11:50:00 I'm afraid you'll have to click on the link to Jasmin's Heart to find today's post. It's been moved temporarily.The site is run by one Jasko Caus, a well travelled artist and the author of two books of poetry, who hails from Bihać a town in the north-western part of Bosnia-Herzegovina. I met him through Entrecard and have been following his blog for quite a few weeks. The blog often features his artwork along with literary articles and examples of writing from an area of the world most of us would struggle to find on a map. I have particularly enjoyed his series of essays on James Joyce.On one of the various art sites where you can find his work his 'artist's statement' is: Never try to kill any talent you have by watching too much TV. A noble sentiment but then maybe they don't get House, Boston Legal, CSI, Criminal Minds, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Numb3rs and Shark in Bosnia-Herzegovina yet. Or maybe they do.We talk about the World Wide Web as a global villa...

Japanese whalers hunt humpbacks
2007-11-19 03:39:00 A humpback whale off Port Macquarie, NSW. Photo: iansandWe (humans!!!) decimated the population of whales including humpback whales during the late 1950s and early 1960s to the very brink of extinction.Some of the nicer humans amongst us took an issue with this and campaigned like crazy to "save the whales". Anita Roddick was one of them. She founded The Body Shop in 1976 and the very next year threw herself into Greenpeace's anti-whaling campaign. Until now this campaign has been a real success story, proving we can make a difference and turn things around. Only a few countries in the world condone commercial whaling anymore.As a result, the Humpback population in eastern Australia has slowly crept back up. The current population migrating along our east coast was estimated to be 7,024 in 2005 and increasing at approximately 10-11% per annum and is likely to be around 9,500 individuals in 2007 according to the Southern Cross University Whale Research Centre. Note: the current c...
Borneo!
2007-11-08 23:59:00 Kids from Sabah in the "School Bus" on the way to a Borneo Child Aid Society Children's Centre.Did I mention, I love working here? Today I've been reading about the great work The Body Shop Foundation is doing... I had no idea, we were being so philanthropic! The foundation is supporting innovative projects around the world working in the areas of human & civil rights and environmental & animal protection.A great example of a grant that covers all of these bases is the AUD $11,351 granted to the Borneo Child Aid Society, which provides education for children in Sabah. These kids don't have access to the basic human right of education. The group is building a new learning centre that will provide education to 100 children in the rural plantation areas of Sabah. If you're passionate about protecting our planet, their education is vitally important. I'll tell you why:There is a multi-layered problem taking place in Borneo right now. A surge in demand for palm oil as -iro...
Who said Hula-Hooping wasn't fun?
2007-11-05 06:39:00 Probably no-one, but I can honestly say that I have witnessed the fun to be had (and skill required) whilst hula hooping, first hand. And this was my favourite part of volunteering at Children on the Edge in Aceh, Indonesia. Watching the beautiful girls running around the centre, wearing their compulsory Muslim Jilbab, hula-hooping. They would hula-hoop the afternoon away, whilst casually walking around, chatting to each other and even racing each other, all whilst hula hooping. They looked so natural and barely even moved; the hoop just effortlessly whirled around their waists. These girls were about 8 or 9 years old with tiny frames, and these hula hoops were heavy. Its no wonder they are so good, the threat of a dropping the heavy hoops on your toes is reason enough to improve your skills. These kids, put simply, are amazing. Surviving the 2004 tsunami means they have lived through seeing some horrible things and probably lost family and friends. Yet, seeing these kids in actio...

2007-05-08 05:23:00 I recently joined AGLOCO because of a friend recommended it to me. I am now promoting it to you because I like the idea and I want you to share in what I think will be an exciting new Internet concept. AGLOCO?s story is simple:Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE!AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action.AGLOCO collects money from those companies on behalf of its members. (For example, Google currently pays AOL 10 cents for every Google search by an AOL user. And Google still has enough profit to pay $1.6 billion dollars for YouTube, an 18-month old site full of content that YouTube?s users did not get paid for! AGLOCO will work to get its Members their share of this and more.AGLOCO is building a new form of online community that they call an Economic Network.
