The Transhumanist Arts Center is designed to provide insight into the future directions of art and creativity of the 21st Century as well as a brief history of transhumanity, Transhumanist Arts, and Extropic Art. Artists and the arts, throughout history, have been a voice and a vision of civilization. Artists, as communicators, reach out to others and introduce insight and vision about society and culture. Artists and the arts bring together the passions, the dreams and the hopes of humanity and transhumanity and express these emotions in ways that touch us deeply. Whether it is filmmaking, industrial or graphic design, poetry, fiction, science fiction, digital images, video, paintings, music, dance, sculpture, architecture, literature—our work communicates to culture and affects the pulse of culture.
Loving Circles - Life on earth is a brief adventure. When we are born, we are clearly loving presence. Our spirit is here to experience the joy, love, freedom, drama and the messiness of being a physically limited being. The first realization we have as a baby is that without help we will not survive. This realization never leaves us and for the rest of our lives we are looking for the sense of safety, security and belonging that we can never have. At Loving Circles, we are guides in this awakening process. We assist those on the edge to discover their own truths. We are dedicated to helping people live heart-centered lives and to see the gifts in everything that has happened so far.When we choose to wake up, evolution happens. There's no need to think about it. Moment by moment, loving presence makes a home in our hearts. Saying "yes" to life's happenings keeps inviting the awakening to continu

Human Development Report 2007/2008 Fighting climate change: Human solidarity in a divided world Climate change is the defining human development challenge of the 21st Century. Failure to respond to that challenge will stall and then reverse international efforts to reduce poverty. The poorest countries and most vulnerable citizens will suffer the earliest and most damaging setbacks, even though they have contributed least to the problem. Looking to the future, no country—however wealthy or powerful—will be immune to the impact of global warming. The Human Development Report 2007/2008 shows that climate change is not just a future scenario. Increased exposure to droughts, floods and storms is already destroying opportunity and reinforcing inequality. Meanwhile, there is now overwhelming scientific evidence that the world is moving towards the point at which irreversible ecological catastrophe becomes unavoidable. Business-as-usual climate change points in a clear direction: unprecedented reversal in human development in our lifetime, and acute risks for our children and their grandchildren

Nobel Peace Prize 2007 - Al Gore, U.N. climate panel win Nobel Peace Prize "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change" The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 is to be shared, in two equal parts, between the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Albert Arnold (Al) Gore Jr. for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change. Indications of changes in the earth's future climate must be treated with the utmost seriousness, and with the precautionary principle uppermost in our minds. Extensive climate changes may alter and threaten the living conditions of much of mankind. They may induce large-scale migration and lead to greater competition for the earth's resources. Such changes will place particularly heavy burdens on the world's most vulnerable countries. There may be increased danger of violent conflicts and wars, within and between states.
Superlife is an unprecedented paradigm shift, the key trend of our time. If we catch its surge, rather than letting it swamp us, it can carry us to a hyper-human world of greatly expanded powers and possibilities. Thanks to scientific and social advances, we are fast evolving into a whole new self-modified species. Those of us who get with this meta-trend can look forward to six key developments. There's a big countertrend, of course. It involves super pollution, super conflict, and more. The two big trends, very positive and very negative, appear locked in mortal combat. Only one can win.
Politie Intimidatie.nl Angst is een illusie die hedendaags nog steeds misbruikt wordt voor macht. Deze site is ontstaan uit de enorm toegenomen bemoeizucht van politie en andere ordehandhavers in de openbare ruimtes van Amsterdam. Buiten onze eigen ervaringen met politieambtenaren kwamen we er achter dat onze frustraties over de handelswijze van politieambtenaren bij veel meer mensen leven.
Special report: Cheating death 13 October 2007 - NewScientist.com news service If one thing seems certain in life, it is that eventually we will die. We strive desperately to put off the evil day - for as long as possible. But our efforts to cheat death have consequences. As technology extends our lifespans, the distinction between life and death is becoming increasingly fuzzy. Different parts of the body and mind can die at different times, and as we acquire the ability to revive and rebuild brains, the definition of death itself is starting to slip from our grasp. In the following seven articles we confront the growing uncertainty over what it means to die - and whether we can any longer be sure what it means to be alive.

Teen Sex Trends May Shock You From phone sex to pornography, kids today are being introduced to the wide world of sex by the media and their peers… and at a much earlier age than parents may think.
