"I've told some ppl that LISTENING is one of the most important aspects of being a spiritual being. When we are truly 100% listening, were not judging, categorizing, or labeling, we are being 100% present to whoever is speaking, and were not in a place of wanting to see if what they are saying fits in with our opinions/beliefs. That I think is the difference between listening to what one is saying and hearing what one is saying. Hearing is just keeping an ear out for things the person is saying that can fit into our view of the world. "-my friend arman

A father who scavenges for a living helps his daughter read a children's book in this photo taken in December 24, 2006 in a village called Lumbangan in Zamboanga City in the southern Philippines. The village is where the government garbage dump is located. Many children abandon schooling to help their parents scavenge for food and junk in Zamboanga City. The poor children - for the first time in their life - is now able to own a book donated by The Asia Foundation and browse the colorful pages themselves - and perhaps dream that one day they can go back to school and continue their studies.

This annual event features innovative technology, development, sustainability and environment. TEDxBrussels presents international speakers performing live to attendees.
In 2012 the theme was Bits, Atoms, Neurons, Genes (or BANG BANG).
-The digital world and the real world are interconnected like never before. You can send off online for a personal genome readout and control physical objects with your mind. Computer thinking is driving medicine, music and play. With brain-computer interfaces now used in nuclear power stations and bio hackers doing lab biology in their garages, BANG BANG is a concept whose time has come. BANG BANG means the evolving mesh of ideas and practices, a rich mix of citizens, scientists and culture.-

This is a detail shot of the sculpture House of Knowledge by the artist Jaume Plensa.
I saw this fantastic object at the No Limits exhibition at Chatsworth House in the fall of 2008 and was completely bowled over by it. (There are lots more piccies of this my photostream).
Some follow up research on the internet indicated that the artist was also involved in the Channel 4 Big Art Project and a large public work entitled Dream was to be shortly installed on the reclaimed and landscaped spoil heap from a former coal mine in Sutton Manor on the outskirts of St Helens.
This is a 5 minute drive from my house and something that I've been eagerly watching out for as I pass this site almost everyday!!
And it's being installed right now! And it is stunning!
Watch this space for piccies

When a child is born the building block of his personality development comes from his acquired knowledge from his environment. Whatever learning earned guides the child on what mode of action he must take to overcome the obstacles on the place where we are no longer there.
The child has no understanding of what is right or wrong. He has no past
It is said that ACTION is the CHILD of KNOWING and LEARNING process.
The guiding hands of the parents tempered with love and understanding sets the child on the right path of overcoming the frontier in the present and with strong confidence removes the obstacles as he goes forward to his Future.-wilfredosrb

The Minister for jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Richard Bruton at Dublin Castle today.
EU consumers could save €22.5 billion a year from new dispute resolution mechanisms
Impact and implementation of forthcoming legislation on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) to be explored at European Consumer Centre Network Conference
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD will today open theEuropean Consumer Centres’ Network’s (ECC-Net) annual conference which is being held in Dublin Castle under the auspices of the Irish Presidency of the European Council.
Minister Bruton commented “Technology has made it easier for consumers to purchase goods and services across the EU. As a result, it is essential that effective and inexpensive dispute resolution mechanisms such as Alternative Dispute Resolution and Online Dispute Resolution are available to consumers throughout the EU to ensure they have redress if things go wrong. These tools will be vital if we are to continue to maximise the benefits of this activity including job creation and economic growth.”
The Irish European Consumer Centre (ECC Ireland) recently commissioned a report on Alternative Dispute Resolution in Ireland on behalf of the Department for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and the findings will be presented at the conference.
Dr. Ann Neville Director of ECC Ireland said “According to recent research, losses experienced by cross-border shoppers are estimated at EUR425 million per annum. The European Commission has estimated that if EU consumers can rely on well-functioning and transparent ADR for their disputes, both national and cross-border, they could save around €22.5 billion a year, corresponding to 0.19% of EU GDP. The ADR Directive and ODR Regulation when implemented will allow business to consumer disputes to be settled fast, effectively and cheaply without going to court. Effective ADR offers both business and consumers a win-win situation encouraging consumers to spend secure in the knowledge that if something goes wrong it is easy for them to access redress while business will avoid the costs of going to court”.
The key note address will be delivered by Professor Christopher Hodges of Oxford University, an international expert in ADR. Other speakers at today’s conference includeBrian Hutchinson Senior Lecturer, UCD School of Law who will present current initiatives in ODR while Alan Nolan of The Society of the Irish Motor Industry will give the business perspective.
The conference provides a timely opportunity for all stakeholders to consider the details of the ADR/ODR package which has recently been adopted by the European Council. The ADR/ODR package aims to empower consumers and assist the future development of the Internal Market by enabling consumers and retailers to solve their contractual disputes in a simple, quick and inexpensive manner.

Notes to Editor:
Last month the European Council adopted a directive on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and a Regulation on Online Dispute Resolution (ODR). This legislation provides consumers with access to an effective and inexpensive way of solving their disputes with traders, regardless of the goods or services they buy, the means of purchase (online or offline), and the location (their home country or abroad).
The legislation aims to increase consumer confidence and encourage consumers to search more actively for good offers and better prices across the single market, thereby driving competition and economic growth.
ECC Ireland’s report “The Implication of the Proposed ADR Directive for the Resolution of Consumer Disputes in Ireland” will be available on www.eccireland.iefollowing the conference.
The European Consumer Centre Network is made up of 29 centres (from 1st July 30 with the accession of Croatia) across Europe working together to resolve cross-border consumer complaints in an amicable manner. Promoting awareness of, and access to, Alternative Dispute Resolution is an essential part of ECC-Net’s objectives. The Network is jointly funded by the European Commission and national governments.
The twitter hashtag for the conference is #ECC13

Knowledge is one powerful aspect of the three great beliefs, to pursue the unknown to study and bring light to a lost civilization with new found facts and truth is knowledge. To know is to guard against prejudice and all forms of ignorance! This way we aren't too quick to judge or make random assumptions. A greater understanding creates a clearer picture of what we are dealing with, it helps us to advance with better technology, to be more conservative with our world and other people! Without knowledge we would be a barbaric empire today!
