UN-Resolution 1325 - UN-Resolutionen - Gunda-Werner-Institut Mit der am 31. Oktober 2000 verabschiedeten Resolution 1325 zu „Frauen, Frieden und Sicherheit“ (Women, Peace and Security) des UN-Sicherheitsrates wird völkerrechtlich verbindlich geregelt, dass Frauen auf allen Ebenen von Friedensprozessen und Sicherheitspolitik angemessen zu beteiligen sind. Die UN-Mitgliedsstaaten werden aufgerufen, die unterschiedlichen Lebensbedingungen von Frauen und Männern im Kontext von Krieg und Nachkriegssituationen, in der zivilen Krisenprävention und beim staatlichen Wiederaufbau zu berücksichtigen. Der Inhalt der Resolution lässt sich also mit drei „P“s zusammenfassen: Partizipation, Prävention und Protektion. Die Resolution 1325 gilt als historischer Durchbruch für die Forderungen der internationalen Frauenfriedensbewegung. Die deutsche Bundesregierung hat bisher zwei Berichte zur Umsetzung von Resolution 1325 vorgelegt, den ersten im Jahre 2004, den zweiten 2007. Weitere Informationen: Buch: Hoffnungsträger 1325
New Cell Phone Charger Turns Water into Electricity A palm-sized fuel cell that turns water into electricity aims to make wall outlets a thing of the past for charging up your cell phone. Being off the grid, or away from an AC outlet, used to mean you couldn’t charge your phone or other personal electronic devices. But a new device called the H3 charger aims to simplify on-the-go charging. Developed by Stockholm-based myFC, the H3 charger relies on portable fuel cells and is set for commercial release in Scandinavia in December, before making its way to a wider market including the United States some time in 2011. It will cost approximately $40 to $50. About the size of a sandwich, the rectangular–shaped charger houses a so-called proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. Until now, however, most PEM power devices were too bulky to carry around because they contained stacked fuel cells. The fuel cells within the H3 charger don't require these extra components because they aren't stacked vertically atop one another. Out in the Wilderness
Commission on the Status of Women-Follow-up to Beijing and Beijing + 5 Follow us on: The Commission's mandate was expanded in 1987 by ECOSOC resolution 1987/22 to include the functions of promoting the objectives of equality, development and peace, monitoring the implementation of measures for the advancement of women, and reviewing and appraising progress made at the national, subregional, regional and global levels. Following the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women, the General Assembly mandated the Commission to integrate into its programme a follow-up process to the Conference, regularly reviewing the critical areas of concern in the Beijing Platform for Action and to develop its catalytic role in mainstreaming a gender perspective in United Nations activities. The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) again modified the Commission's terms of reference in 1996, in its resolution 1996/6, deciding that the Commission should: (e) Maintain and enhance public awareness and support for the implementation of the Platform for Action.
Digital Capital Week - June 11th to June 20th, 2010 An extra-tall wave struck a cruise ship off the Mediterranean coast of Spain this week, claiming two lives and injuring one person on board. Though the wave may not qualify as a “rogue wave,” it could have been created by the same forces. To officially be rogue, the wave’s height must be more than double the “significant wave height” of the area, which is calculated by averaging the height of the tallest third of all the nearby waves. The wave measured 26 feet tall and shattered plate-glass windows at the bow of the vessel. “I was surprised it was really that damaged by a 26-foot-high wave,” Washburn said. Until recently, scientists were skeptical that rogue waves even exist, because evidence of them was mostly anecdotal. Waves over 100 feet tall have been spotted by oceanographers, scientists and vessel passengers. Rogue waves occur in the open ocean in a number of ways. “It’s very dangerous at the Agulhas,” Washburn said. Storm-related wind is a factor as well.
Just In Time For The Location Wars, Twitter Turns On Geolocation On Its Website When I wrote that location would be this year’s Twitter at SXSW, I also meant that Twitter’s geolocation would be this year’s Twitter at SXSW. The service has just turned on geolocation on its website today for the first time. While Twitter’s geolocation feature has been live through its API since last November, there was no sign of integration into the main twitter.com site until now. You can see these maps as overlays both on individual tweet pages, and on tweets in your main stream. The timing of this move by Twitter is significant.
foursquare getting a shout out in The Economist (March 6, 2010, pg 85) Case Study: How To Use Foursquare To Draw A Crowd Into Your Restaurant | Steffan Antonas [tweetmeme] Restaurant owners are quickly discovering how to use social media tools like Twitter, Facebook and Yelp to their advantage and drive customers to their tables, but there’s a guy in Wisconsin doing it better than almost anyone else. Joe Sorge, who runs a burger joint in Milwaukee called AJ Bombers, shot me a tweet yesterday to tell me about a Foursquare party they had this week that brought a flash mob of 161 Foursquare users to his restaurant. My eyebrows shot up when I read that number. 161 check ins in one day?! How could that be? There are only about three or four hundred Foursquare users total in Milwaukee?! When I called him up, Joe explained. Before I launch into my interview where Joe discusses how he did it, here’s video from the beginning of the event so you can get an idea of what was going on at the restaurant at the start of the event.

Google Maps Welcomes Spring with New Bicycle Directions Feature We bike path-mapped between NYC's Met Meseum and the Chelsea Art Museum While the Google Trike bike pedals its way through the 360 miles of Boulder's bike paths in an experiment to add Streetview for bike paths, the search giant has begun step 1 of bicycling integration into their excellent Google Maps. Until we have Streetview to explore nature down the paths less traveled or go deeper into Central Park than the cut-through roads, we can at least enjoy their newest feature, still in beta: directions via bicycle paths. According to the blog Google Maps Mania, it's as easy as selecting "Bicycling" from the drop-down "Get Directions" menu in Maps, and the map will then show suitable cycling routes, and "bike paths with no cars are shown in dark green and roads with bike lanes are shown in light green." Taking the new feature for a spin, after the jump> [Photos: Google Maps]
Washington DC to distribute female condoms Washington DC will become the first city in the US to make female condoms available for free, the Washington Post has reported. The contraceptives will be handed out in beauty salons, convenience stores and high schools in areas with high rates of HIV/Aids infection. Male condoms have long been handed out but infection rates remain high among Washington's black residents. Female condoms have been on sale since 1993 but take-up has been slow. The initial version of the contraceptive was judged by US customers to be too expensive. However, a new version now being used in countries including South Africa, Brazil, and Indonesia will be distributed in Washington DC and offered for sale in pharmacies alongside male condoms. Cutting edge "Anywhere male condoms are available, female condoms will be available," Shannon Hader, director of the city's HIV/AIDS administration, told the Washington Post.
Live Video: Tai Shan Leaves National Zoo The panda passport and visa were all in order, and the wheels of Tai Shan's plane lifted off the ground at Dulles International Airport just after noon today. The giant panda said his final goodbyes to the National Zoo this morning, and he's now on his 14-hour flight to his new home in China. You can actually track his flight's progress here. The panda, who won over the hearts of just about everyone in the Washington region, will be shipped via a FedEx 777 today to China to join that country's breeding program. He left the zoo at 9 a.m. Of course, even a panda's plane can get delayed sometimes. Tai Shan was born at the zoo in 2005, and his departure is evoking strong reactions from many visitors. "Of course, it's sad to see him go, but he's going to fulfill his destiny in China," said zoo volunteer Angela Wessel, who has traveled to China to care for pandas. Crowds converged on the panda exibit at the National Zoo Wednesday, the last full day to get a peek at Tai Shan.
New Version of Foursquare for iPhone Coming Soon [SCREENSHOTS] A new version of Foursquare for the iPhone is on the way and it will feature a revamped interface, a brand new user tab and a new checkin history view. This version of the app — v1.6 — should be heading to the App Store soon. Nick Starr shared screenshots of it with us and we've included a few below so that you can see some of the new features. Looking at the images from Foursquare 1.6, the first thing you'll notice is that the interface has been totally revamped. The colors, icons and menu layout are all completely restyled and rearranged in a much more appealing manner. For instance, check out the new Shout and User Profile pages. There are also a few new features. Friends' checkins also now have a pull-down to refresh mechanism, that harkens back to Tweetie 2.0 for the iPhone. Friends info pages have also been completely redesigned and friend-by-friend ping control is much more attractive. All in all, just looking at the screenshots is making us drool. What do you think of the new look?
