Hubs, Gateways, Gondels and Portals in our Multi-Polar world ... by Architecture.

We're no longer TRANSITING from a mono-polar world to a multi-polar world with the BRICS, the EU, USA and other Tiger Regions. We're LIVING in the Multi-Polar World. This Multi-Polar World needs bi-directional gateways to foster the exchange of great ideas, business, culture, etc. So I have a new hobby: mapping buildings or structures - ancient and modern - that symbolize such "gateways" and

This month we celebrate the birth of the 7 billionth earthling baby and we of course we all welcome this baby and wish the baby the best in life. One of the things to do is to scale-up our actions to meet the demands, opportunities and challenges ahead. A possible route to explore is to help deploying creative hubs with bi-directional portals and gateways to the major poles that constitute our

Climate and ETS - cynics claim only the EU likes CO2e-certificates and the Emission Trading System and that it is a complete failure. Nothing is more away from the truth. 1. The vast majority of the planet want resources to be brought to the table to tackle climate change. 2. The developing countries are benefitting from the 100 billion CO2e certificates that are generated in e.g. 2009: there's

For over 3 years, I'm developing leadership with the coaches of the Kampala junior football team. Meanwhile, they know how a Virtual Office works, found the link between climate change and the trees around their football-fields, they link-up with the UN International Observance Years and Months, start harassing the Danish Carbon Fund in Uganda, and the companies behind the Danish Carbon Fund

I think this group of African Diaspora and their African peers are showing quite some creativity to fundraise for their actions: They have CO2e-certificates in the form of Belgian Chocolate "coins/ducats", with a clear inspiration to how Carbon became Money since 2005. The lay-out is inspired by the 1 € coins. Check them out: www.AfricaCO2e.tk

Did you know that? That the €2 coins are also used as commemorative coins? Every state in Europe is allowed to issue one ever year. They come in limited editions, typical some 1 million per edition. These commemorative coins are actually circulating, so why don't you check your pockets as you might have one without knowing? Finland's Mint - where the Finnish €'s are actually "coined" - has a

One of the only programs I like on CNN is Fareed ZAKARIA's "GPS". The interviewed Mr. Bergen who interviewed Bin LADEN, stated that half a trillion $ has been spent on USA intelligence since the 9/11 attack of the Twin Towers in the USA Wall Street District. Half a trillion... that's 500 billion $, i.e. 500.000.000.000 $, that's about 1500 $ per American citizen in 10 years, or some 150 $/

During Greenweek 2010, the WWF gave a presentation where it calculated that a European Union, could raise about 4 billion € for supporting the European Union's nature reserves: to acquire new ones and manage existing ones as I recall it. The CO2e-certificate Emission Trading System under the UNFCCC's "Kyoto Protocol", managed to mobilise about 100 billion € in 2010. And that's only for the
