organization, business or nation, when we keep an open mind and heart and consider the big picture, we educate ourselves about cultural similarities and mutual concerns, learn from our mistakes, take action when necessary, and allow others to teach us from their perspective.…

ion at Hand and the inevitable question proposed - What Infrastucture? - I would draw your attention to my zBlog Success Has Many Parents - in which I referred to a conversation with Kenneth Baker during 1982, about the potential development of interactive multimedia communications, when I said that - the archives of the BBC were worth more to the British nation than all the country’s coal deposits and that in order to “mine” that wealth, an appropriate industrial infrastructure would have to be established before the information could be put into information technology and subsequently distributed in a form that would be useful to all potential users.
I was first struck by the potential of small scale simulation systems, as an air traffic controller, during the 1970's and subsequently worked as a consultant to Acorn Computers and the BBC and thence Apple and the development of a CIM Product Simulator in collaboration with Surrey University. …

difference between the virtual world and the real world. I had hoped at the time that some common sense be applied to this evolutionary development, but common sense was obviously thrown out of the window with respect to Enron, Worldcom, Madoff et al and following The Great Financial Implosion the trend obviously continues.
As Max Keiser explains in his program above a family living in both the real world and its virtual equivalent has already allowed its real child to die of starvation at the expense of cow-towing to the needs of the virtual equivalent. Indeed as Benedict Brogan has detailed in his Daily Telegraph article entitled "We judge Brown a failure - but his success haunts the Coalition" ... as resistance to the Coalition’s work takes hold, Mr. Cameron should realise that this is as Mr Brown planned it.
He is the invisible enemy, but the point is that he hasn’t gone away – he’s all around us.
A young man without socialism doesn't have a heart.
An old man with socialism doesn't have a head !
I would suggest that this IS SO because Mr. Brown has convinced a large proportion of the British people that the virtual world which he has created is free of any cost and bears no resemblance whatsoever to our bankrupt real world which is based on a model of continuing growth and finite resources.…

presentation and funding for vulnerable communities will be measures of success in Dubai. But, as controversy over fossil fuel influence rises, what does a successful COP28 look like and is it still achievable?
COP28 should heed the calls of Indigenous people
The expectations of Indigenous peoples’ are clear, according to Joseph Itongwa, regional coordinator for the Indigenous Peoples and Local Network for the Management of Forest Ecosystems of Central Africa (REPALEAC).
“Prioritise our rights, safeguard traditional territories and align climate funds with Glasgow Pledge commitments.”
This pledge, agreed at COP26 in Glasgow in 2021, saw countries reaffirm the duty of developed nations to provide developing nations with climate funding. Direct access to these funds, in line with the commitments of this Glasgow Pledge, must be put into practice this year, Itongwa says.
“As a DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) Indigenous leader, envisioning a sustainable future, I urge COP28 to heed the calls of Indigenous people.”
To combat climate change effectively, elevate traditional indigenous knowledge, secure territories, and support us as the guardians.
Joseph Itongwa
Regional coordinator for REPALEAC
Itongwa highlights the specific role of Indigenous women in biodiversity conservation - such as the women already working in the Congo Basin to maintain the forest and biodiversity. Direct funding is needed for these women in Central Africa to help strengthen their local initiatives.
Ensuring voices from a wide variety of Indigenous communities are included in the negotiations and decisions is vitally important to maintaining the health of the planet, according to Itongwa.
“To combat climate change effectively, elevate traditional indigenous knowledge, secure territories, and support us as the guardians,” he says.
Voices of science and youth
Emma Heiling is the founder and CEO of ClimaTalk, a youth-led non-profit that demystifies climate policy and empowers young people in the fight against climate change. The international organisation is heading to Dubai with the aim of making COP28 as accessible and understandable for young people as possible, encouraging them to get involved with international climate policy.
“For us, COP28 would be a success if not the strength of lobbies, the power of money, and the short-sightedness of politics, but rather the voices of science, youth and those from the most affected areas were to determine the outcome,” Heiling says.
She emphasises the need for intergenerational justice, climate justice and for the countries most responsible for the climate crisis to spearhead systemic change at the UN climate conference.

old order, and only luke-warm defenders in all those who would profit by the new order. This quality of lukewarmness arises partly from a fear of adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the incredulity of mankind, who do not truly believe in anything new until they have had actual experience of it.”
Machiavelli - The Prince - 1513
When Machiavelli penned these words of wisdom to his old friend - Leonardo da Vinci - who was ensconced at Le Clos Luce in the grounds of Chateau d'Amboise - Machiavelli was already tending to Leonardo's vineyard back home in San Casciano, Italy and four years later Machiavelli wrote to Leonardo from Florence saying ...
"Leave it to the politicians - and me - to decide the fate of Florence, Milan and Rome. There is enough intrigue to keep a thousand occupied each day, and we will not see your talent in the mists of this scheming." - plus ca change !
