It took years for movies dramatising the agony of the Vietnam conflict to hit the big screen, yet oddly enough a jaundiced contemporary view of the states seeped into a mass audience through Leone's spaghetti westerns. Remaining conspicuous through absence from the canons of motion picture greats, the stylistic flourishes of Sergio Leone westerns provide the popular mind with an immediate shorthand for the genre cinematically. read full story / add a comment

FINALLY !... A NEW DAWN FOR ACTION AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE On February 16 th ---10 long years after it was first sketched out----the Kyoto Protocol finally achieves the status of a treaty in force in international law. After 10 long ( very long) years of extremely arduous, fractious and exasperating negotiations, the world finally gets a legally-binding international treaty for the enforcement of reductions in man-made emissions of greenhouse gases. In collaboration with our international partners within the Climate Action Network (CAN), GRIAN has been working to ensure that February 16 th will be perceived for, and celebrated as, the highly significant day it really is. Next Wednesday, as part of the global celebrations of this event (see: www.climatenetwork.org/kyotoevents ), GRIAN is coordinating a press conference and short series of workshops on climate change and the significance of the Kyoto Protocol in ENFO, 17 St. Andrew's St. , Dublin 2. read full story / add a comment

Microfinance is about giving small loans (generally upto 5000€) with as little interest as possible (ought to be none) to poor people so they can set up commercial or agricultural concerns. It's very important for 3rd world agriculture and has played a pivotal role in conflict resolutions in the Balkans and Africa. It's not quite "anti-capitalism", rather it is one of the tools of the system as it exists which can be better used to alleviate in the short term the suffering and under-development of the majority of humanity. read full story / add a comment |
