At a press conference in New York's plush Plaza hotel, David Lynch launched a $1 billion fundraising campaign to build 100 'peace palaces' across America, part of a plan for 3,000 buildings across the globe, one in each major city. Inside the palaces up to 300 devotees will spend their time meditating and 'yogic flying', which practitioners say is a form of levitation. Once the peace palaces are up and running - the theory goes - war, violence and crime will come to an end. read full story / add a comment

galway / miscellaneous / opinion/analysis Tuesday October 28, 2003 17:37 by Orla Ni Chomhrai
Recently the Department of Justice looked for submissions on their plans to place 18 CCTV cameras in Galway City. I sent in the one on behalf of the Defend Free Speech, Assembly, and Activity Campaign. (see http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=61744 ). We raised various concerns, potential for misuse, invasion of privacy, issues over use of resources and inefficiency of CCTV as a deterrent, and the lack of real consultation as it seemed the decision had already been made to introduce these regardless of submissions made. The sham of a consutation process became even more obvious during the week. This is relevant to the whole country not just because of plans to bring in new CCTV cameras to 17 locations around the country, but because it shows how the government and state works. Anyway here is some information on the issue. read full story / add a comment

Zero Waste Alliance Ireland, VOICE and An Taisce present:

Low Cost Solutions to Ireland's Waste Crisis

Friday, 21 November 2003, Tailor's Hall, Back Lane Dublin 8

As Ireland looks to the future, solutions to our escalating waste crisis
must be found which are cost effective and safe.

This conference will examine international experience of such solutions and
seeks to place these in the Irish context.

In today's more constrained economic context, valuable lessons can be
learned from international experience to inform decisions about how to
manage our waste in a manner that is sustainable while delivering value for
money. The conference will hear from international experts on both the
practical aspects and broader economic implications of low cost solutions. read full story / add a comment
