    Is John McAfee Crazy… Like a Fox ?

    Mar 14, 2013 in Education, Human Rights

    You may be familiar with the name John McAfee. You may recall him as the guy who developed the anti-virus program for computers before any digital viruses had been created to cause  digital infection. That was  in 1987. Twenty-six years ago John McAfee founded McAfee Associates, a computer anti-virus company. He is said to be the first to distribute anti-virus software using what has come to be known as the ” shareware”  business model. Today McAfee Associates, acquired by Intel in 2010 for $7.68 billion is a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel. (more…)

    UPDATE: Denied! Delay of Trial in Trayvon Martin Case

    Feb 05, 2013 in Children's Health, Civil Rights, Human Rights

    How fortuitous…following a memorial service commemorating what would have been the eighteenth birthday of the murdered unarmed black Florida teen, Trayvon Martin, a Florida judge today denied a motion by the confessed shooter to delay his June trial for a murder which took place  one year ago this month…February 2012.


    Seminole County Circuit Court Judge Debra Nelson, who lives in the city of Sanford where the fatal shooting took place, denied a motion by Zimmerman’s lawyer, Mark O’Mara, for a continuance in the racially charged trial.
    This means the trial is to go forward as scheduled on Monday, June 10, 2013. (more…)

    United Nations: Use Massoud Hassani’s Mine Kafon Invention

    Nov 26, 2012 in Children's Health, Human Rights

    The children are this planet’s most precious resource. The statement is often repeated and sounds cliche: the children are our future. The fact is they are.

    Over the past one hundred years the deadly legacy of armed conflict throughout the world is the insidious anti-personnel mine…also known as the land mine. Unexploded land-mines remain lethal as a war-torn country begins its reconstruction and development. Frequently the widespread practice of mining agricultural land has led to malnutrition, even to famine and starvation. This heinous military practice is harmful to adults and children alike.

    Placing minefields without marking and recording them for later removal is considered a war crime under Protocol II of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons,  an attached condition to the Geneva Conventions.

    Using his childhood experience, making toys from whatever materials were available while growing up in war distressed Afghanistan, designer Massoud Hassani has created a wind-powered sphere made from bamboo and biodegradable plastic that can be used to clear landmines. The Mine Kafon.

    It is the inexpensive the solution to this dilemma. Watch the video made by artist/film maker Callum Cooper, of the United Kingdom, to see the prototype of this unique lifesaving device in action.
