With increased globalization and a smaller world, money flows more easily and the flows have increased. Where aid once represented a majority of the funds from high income countries to developing countries, this has now been surpassed by investments and worker’s remittances, and these flows show no sign of slowing down – maybe pausing for an occasional downturn in the global economy. The question is when this will start show as a significant decrease in poverty.

ENVIRONMENT-NEPAL: Slowly, Vulture Numbers Picking Up
KATHMANDU, Jan 22, 2010 (IPS) - Dhan Bahadur Chaudhary, an ornithologist, grew up with vultures in his native Nawalparasi in western Nepal. He and his neighbours were used to seeing vultures flying overhead, feeding on the carcasses, and sunbathing near the rivers.
This is an image that I 'shot from the hip' while walking through the crowd at the Comerica Cityfest this past weekend. My main goal at the time was to capture the man on the golf cart with the trash receptacle as he whizzed by. As to why – I don't know. It just seemed right.
It's funny to study the image after the fact and see the slice of action I captured without really composing the shot... the man with the trash receptacle seems calm and bemused as he navigates the crowd; what is he thinking of? The two women behind him seem to be pausing, as if they are looking out into the crowd, seeking additional companions they attended the festival with. The couple with the child behind them seem to be redetermining what direction to go. Are they leaving or thinking of heading in a direction that they have not yet explored? Or are they wishing they were elsewhere? What of the figures behind them... milling about and merging into the shapes of the vendor booths beyond...
And that perspective of the building in the background that fades into the hazy distance – it feels like a canvas backdrop on a sound stage from a motion picture during the golden era of Hollywood. So choice.
St. Kittians See Ominous Signs of Climate Change
Desmond Brown
BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, Apr 4 (IPS) – It is mid-morning and the temperature has already soared to 80 degrees centigrade.
We celebrated Earth Day with a wonderful afternoon of art, music and talks about protecting our environment. Hundreds of activists, artists, environmentalists and youth gathered to pay tribute to Mother Earth at Tamalpais High School’s Student Center in Mill Valley on April 22, 2018. Photo by Fabrice Florin.
We started the day with the first public showing of our Art Float for Social Change -- a unique parade float created to inspire more people to participate in democracy. A large globe spun over a circle of hands and a carousel of art, pulled by a colorful dragon. Singers and speakers of all ages stood on the decorated stage to share their ideas for a better world. Many more painted original posters about the earth, which were featured on the float carousel.
Dozens of environmental partners showed participants how we can all take action to reverse global warming -- organizations like the Sierra Club, Resilient Neighborhoods and 350 Marin, to name but a few. Our guest speakers were Mark Squire from Good Earth, Crystal Chissel from Project Drawdown, Marin Supervisor Damon Connolly and young local activists: they gave informative talks on a wide range of solutions to curb climate change. Participants also learned to plant a veggie garden, ride an electric bike, while others registered to vote.
We ended the day with music performances by the charming Twinkling Stars of Singers Marin, young singer Emma Spike, and sing-alongs led by Reed Fromer with the Freedom Singers and Redwoods Seniors for Peace.
Earth Day 2008 brought together diverse groups of people who might not have connected otherwise: activists, artists, environmentalists, makers, children, teenagers, teachers and parents. We are particularly grateful to all the young people who participated in our celebration.
This community gathering was produced by Democracy Cafe, Eco Warriors of MVCAN and Tam Makers, with the gracious support of Tamalpais High School, Mill Valley Community Action Network, Good Earth, Driver’s Market, Sloat Garden Supply and all our partners.
Thanks to event organizers Fabrice Florin, Jennifer Tomkins, Carol Korenbrot, Geo Monley, Grace Severtson -- and all the wonderful volunteers who helped produce this inspiring event. We think making art, playing music and talking with people of all ages and backgrounds can build mutual understanding and engage us to take meaningful political action together.
Join your neighbors to make political art and music, join good causes -- and keep democracy alive!

BEAUTY is a sweet, talkative, playful young kitty. She thrives in a quiet, low-key environment where she has time to settle in and has plenty of room to explore her surroundings. Once she settles in, she loves to be petted and likes to sit next to you or curl up with you in bed. If she thinks you aren't paying enough attention to her, she'll sit right on the keyboard as you are typing or on the book you've been reading once you set it down. Beauty enjoys looking out the window watching the world go by and giving you "kitty kisses" by playfully grabbing your hand then licking it. Beauty loves swiping then meowing at her favorite toy -- a mouse that chirps back at her! And she goes playfully insane when you bring out her other favorite toy - the laser! If her favorite toys are nowhere to be found, Beauty wastes no time finding other "treasures" to play with -- little bottles of lotion, spoons, bottle caps or tweezers -- anything she can swat at or carry around in her mouth. The world is one big playground for this energetic kitty! Beauty was evacuated along with her newborn kittens (all adopted) by a kind woman who scooped her off the streets as she headed to Northern Virginia, along with her two dogs, ahead of Hurricane Gustav. You can read more about Beauty's ordeal in our newsletter by clicking here and reading "Silent Stories: Hurricanes, Pets and Unsung Heroes."

"Shared Space" is a tool that allows scenographers to create virtual sound spheres in any space in a museum. This new experience offers the public the possibility to merge more deeply with works of art. While wearing headphones, the visitor is at the center of every sound. Depending on their location in the museum, the visitor can focus on a specific sound, story, or sound texture. In this way, senses other than sight, may be aroused and stimulated.
On the morning of July 19, the federal Environment Minister, Tanya Plibersek, released the national State of the Environment Report. The report outlined terrible news about the extinction and the climate crisis. This five year report was controversially suppressed by the the former government during the pre-election period.
