Multilateral stakeholders including UN Women and the World Bank, and leading businesses and non-profit institutions also pledged support for the partnership. The goal of the Equal Futures Partnership is for women to participate fully in public life and to lead and benefit from inclusive economic growth. Part of the partnership call to action was an app challenge to create apps that encourage political empowerment in girls. Learn more at http://www.whitehouse.gov/equalfuturesapp Apr 23, 2013 11:02 AM

Permanent Tag: Lego Rating: Ok Hits: 827 Comments: 4 Why LEGO is the Best Company in the World Why LEGO is the Best Company in the World LEGO recently surprised a Massachusetts boy named James Groccia by sending him his dream toy, an Emerald Night Train set. After diligently saving his money, James was sad to learn that the set had been discontinued. He wrote a letter to LEGO and asked if they had any at their “corporate headquarters” and that perhaps he could get one sent to him. LEGO wrote back and let him know that, yes, it had been discontinued and apologized for the disappointment that caused. However, two days before his 11th birthday, a package arrived for him, from LEGO. Here is the video that his dad shared of James opening that package. Here is the text of a letter James received from LEGO September 13, 2012 Dear James, Thanks for your interest in our products. James, I'm afraid that we no longer made the Emerald Night. I understand how upsetting this news can be. I realize that you saved up your money to purchase it, I do apologize for any disappointment this news may have caused you. The toy store shelves aren't be enough to hold ever ything, so sometimes we have to stop making a few of the older sets.

I am amazed at how many sets you have at only ten years old! I am a very big LEGO fan myself and enjoy some of the same sets you do. We received your letter here in Consumer Services and were very touched by your determination. The Emerald Night Train is a wonderful set, so we can understand why it is your dream to own it. I commend your willpower and patience to save money for over two years just to purchase this set. It is very evident that no other set could make you happier.

Unmoderated Tag: Television Rating: Amazing Hits: 416 Comments: 1 Hot Planet? BBC Documentary (HD) Hot Planet? BBC Documentary (HD) Professors Iain Stewart and Professor Kathy Sykes take a timely look at global warming ahead of the Copenhagen summit, exploring the world's leading climate scientists' vision of the planet's future. Scientists predict that if global temperatures continue to rise at their current rate, Earth will be one degree warmer within 10 years, two degrees warmer within the next 40 years and three degrees or more warmer before the end of the century. If the Earth's temperature increases to three degrees warmer than the average pre-industrial temperature, the impact on the planet will be catastrophic. Across the Earth, ways of life could be lost forever as climate change accelerates out of control. This isn't inevitable, however: climate change is not yet irreversible. Ingenious technology and science is currently being devised, advanced and tested around the world which could offer solutions for a sustainable future. The question that remains is, can the world embrace and implement them on a large enough scale within an effective timeline? If widespread damage to human societies and ecosystems is to be prevented, global temperature rise must be slowed and eventually reversed. Hot Planet offers an accurate visual prediction of the planet's future, based on the findings of over 4,000 climate scientists. User: spam_vigilante Nov 28, 2011 3:58 AM

Borgen (Government), the award-winning hit series from Denmark, is coming to Link TV and http://www.LinkTV.org/Borgen beginning October 29th. "Borgen" is the latest Danish drama sensation from the producers of the acclaimed series "The Killing". Like its American cousin "The West Wing", the drama focuses on the gamesmanship of politics as it plays out behind the scenes in the corridors of power, through the reporters who expose scandals and deal-making, and in the living rooms, bedrooms and boardrooms of political powerbrokers.
