| Girl's Speech @ UN Conference on Environment and Development - 401 sec
The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, also known as the Rio Summit, Earth Summit (or, in Portuguese, Eco '92) was a major conference held in Rio de Janeiro from June 3 to June 14, 1992.
178 governments participated, with 118 sending their heads of state or government.Some 2,400 representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) attended, with 17,000 people at the parallel NGO Forum, who had so-called Consultative Status.
The issues addressed included:
*systematic scrutiny of patterns of production — particularly the production of toxic components, such as lead in gasoline, or poisonous waste;
*alternative sources of energy to replace the use of fossil fuels which are linked to global climate change;
*new reliance on public transportation systems in order to reduce vehicle emissions, congestion in cities and the health problems caused by polluted air and smog;
*the growing scarcity of water.
An important achievement was an agreement on the Climate Change Convention which in turn led to the Kyoto Protocol. Another was agreement to "not carry out any activities on the lands of indigenous peoples that would cause environmental degradation or that would be culturally inappropriate".
The Convention on Biological Diversity was opened for signature at the Earth Summit, and made a start towards redefinition of money supply measures that did not inherently encourage destruction of natural ecoregions and so-called uneconomic growth.
Twelve cities were also honoured by the Local Government Honours Award for innovative local environmental programs. These included Sudbury, Ontario in Canada for its ambitious program to rehabilitate environmental damage from the local mining industry, Austin, Texas in the United States for its green building strategy, and Kitakyushu in Japan for incorporating an international education and training component into its municipal pollution control program.
The Earth Summit resulted in the following documents:
*Rio Declaration on Environment and Development;
*Agenda 21;
*Convention on Biological Diversity;
*Forest Principles;
*Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Both Convention on Biological Diversity and Framework Convention on Climate Change were set as legally binding agreements.
Critics, however, point out that many of the agreements made in Rio have not been realized regarding such fundamental issues as fighting poverty and cleaning up the environment.

| Norg UnConference - 460 sec
On Saturday, March 25th, a historic convergence took place at The Annenberg School for Communication. About 40 journalists, news organization representatives, bloggers and news junkies gathered for NORGS The UNconference. The mission of the day was to envision how news organization will be constituted in the coming years. With the future of Philadelphia's two major dailies in question, the timing could not have been more relevant. The term "Norg" was created by Will Bunch, resident blogger at The Philadelphia Daily News. Mr. Bunch, Wendy Warren, news editor at The Philadelphia Daily News, Karl Martino of Phillyfuture.org, Susie Madrak of Suburban Guerrilla, along with many others were instrumental and making sure this discussion took place.

| OpenWorld '08: Unconference - Impact Analysis and Data Lineage for OBIEE: Part 3 of 8 - 272 sec
Kevin McGinley, VP of Technology for BI Consulting Group, explains why integral part to every successful OBIEE implementation includes the ability to perform impact and gap analysis and navigate data lineage. While this is not supported out of the box in OBIEE today, it is something that is possible using OBIEE itself. The ability to perform an impact analysis and navigate data lineage is absolutely critical for building, administrating, and maintaining a mature OBIEE environment over time.
