Google and the World Brain Trailer
The story of the most ambitious project ever conceived on the Internet. In 2002 Google began to scan millions of books in an effort to create a giant global library, containing every book in existence. They had an even greater purpose - to create a higher form of intelligence, something that HG Wells had predicted in his 1937 essay “World Brain”. But over half the books Google scanned were in copyright, and authors across the world launched a campaign to stop Google, which climaxed in a New York courtroom in 2011. A film about the dreams, dilemmas and dangers of the Internet.

Before I Die
Before I Die is an global public art project that invites people to share their hopes and dreams in public space.
Originally created on an abandoned house in Candy’s neighborhood in New Orleans after losing someone she loved, the project is about remembering what is important to you and creating public spaces that better reflect what matters to us as a community and as individuals.

Remember
“So what shall we talk about at the present? How good it is.
This short film from Director Eliot Rausch is an amazing and heartbreaking piece of work about the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Talking about this terrible disease is difficult. There is no cure. It’s a grueling process to the point of death. And what the man says in the film:
“When you lose your memory you lose yourself”.
The film is also about love. And grief. How hard it is to lose the memories you share together.”

Be happy for no reason, like a child. If you are happy for a reason you’re in trouble because that reason can be taken away from you.

wevsyou in action
Anica von meinen Lieblingsblog Karma, Baby! hat mich eingeladen bei der Aktion “Der BloggerInnen-Weihnachts-Chor” mitzumachen. Na klar, wevsyou ist dabei!
Info zur Aktion: Viele soziale Projekte machen grandiose Arbeit, haben aber keine Stimme, um auf sich aufmerksam zu machen. Bloggerinnen und Blogger haben diese Stimme. In der Vorweihnachtszeit leihen sie sie einem Lieblingsprojekt auf betterplace.org – und singen! http://www.betterplace.org/c/neues/blogchor/
Und hier gehts zur “wevsyou in action” Spendenaktion: http://www.betterplace.org/de/groups/wevsyou
“Ich habe im Laufe der Jahre viel gelernt und wenn etwas wirklich Wichtiges dabei war, dann das, dass die Haupttodesursache auf diesem Planeten die Dummheit ist. Dummheit und die daraus resultierende Intoleranz. Es sind mehr Menschen durch Dummheit umgekommen, als durch Krankheiten, Unfälle und Kriege zusammen. Tatsächlich wurden Kriege aus Dummheit geführt, sind Menschen aus Dummheit einem Unfall zum Opfer gefallen. Nicht immer, aber oft.”
Am wenigsten können aber die Kinder was dafür. Der Bürgerkrieg in Syrien eskaliert, und die Kinder trifft es am härtesten. Jeden Tag fliehen tausende Kinder und ihre Familien über die Grenzen in die Nachbarländer Jordanien, Libanon, Türkei und Irak. In Syrien sind jetzt über 2,5 Millionen Menschen von den Kämpfen betroffen. 1,2 Millionen sind innerhalb des Landes auf der Flucht – fast die Hälfte davon Kinder und Jugendliche. Die Familien haben oft alles verloren, sind traumatisiert und wissen nicht, wohin.
wevsyou spendet den Gesamtbetrag an die Aktion “Syrien: Helft den Kindern!”
Muchas gracias für den Support! -

One Child
Thank you for taking the time to watch our advert. 8 million children under five die every year from illnesses we know how to prevent, such as diarrhoea and pneumonia. In the 21st century, this is utterly wrong. We’re not waiting for a miracle cure to save these lives. We know what works. We just need more of it — more vaccines, more antibiotics, more nurses and midwives. By setting up a regular donation you’ll help the most vulnerable children survive their first five years.
