"Who Cares?"
by Mara Mourão
 Perhaps
when you wake up in the morning, you have the feeling that it is just
another day - feeling a little better, a little worse than yesterday.
You don’t know when it began, but you feel that something has been taken
away from you. You live in an epic of euphoria, of speed, of academic
accomplishment, of consumer happiness, of the triumph of technology. But
when you wake up in the morning, you feel that something is wrong.
Suddenly, the sound of your life has turned into the excessive noise of
the world. It is always loud and you become deaf to the sound of your
own voice. And the many lights around you do not shine. This is because
you continue to be blind.
You do not know when you became resigned to the idea that your life is
not your own. In that moment you became a slave to a desire that you do
not feel. You do not know when your spirit left your body. In that
moment you became empty.
You only know that, when you wake up in the morning, that which is
missing puts a stranglehold on your voice.
Why should you care about the other, about the world? Because you should
begin to care about yourself. And about the non-transferrable, pressing,
and unique experience that is your life. |

 Run
for Kids Who Can't
Ataxia-telangiectasia, or "A-T," is a progressive, degenerative disease
that affects a startling variety of body systems. Children with A-T
appear normal at birth, and the first signs of the disease usually
appear during the second year of life. These first signs are usually a
"wobbly" lack of balance and slurred speech caused by "ataxia," which
means a lack of muscle control.
 A-T
is presently incurable and unrelenting. If they are lucky enough not to
develop cancer, most A-T children are dependent on wheelchairs by the
age of ten, not because their muscles are too weak, but because they
cannot control them. Later, A-T patients usually die from respiratory
failure or cancer by their teens or early twenties. A few A-T patients
live into their forties, but they are extremely rare.
The A-T Children's Project, located in Coconut Creek Florida, raises
money to fund medical research that will hopefully find a cure or
treatment for A-T.
Why not put together a team of Globonders and join Olympic Triathlete
Hunter Kemper run or walk to help find a cure for a rare, fatal genetic
disease that affects kids? Join the A-T CureTeam and make a difference!

Raising the Bar: On Becoming a Vegetarian
by Larry Rosenberg
For years I was aware that important people to me were becoming
vegetarians. Some gave the explanation of better health (or less weight
and disease), better for animals (who will now be more at ease with
you), or better for the Earth’s sustainability. I also realized that the
definition of a vegetarian was flexible, sometimes strict in banning
non-flesh foods or even eggs and dairy, and other times more inclusive.

Communication Pointers
by Larry Rosenberg
Every one of us can do a better job of communicating – face to face, by
phone, and in writing – especially in the workplace, where professional
and personal feeling tend to get mixed. To improve our communication
performance to get the outcomes we desire starts with taking in the
constructive feedback from one or more persons, who we trust and who
respects us.

Angela Montgomery’s Love-Story-in-Italy Novel
Globond-member Angela Montgomery’s first novel, Romanzo: love and
corruption Italian style, will be available soon. It is being
published through a POD initiative for new writers funded by the Arts
Council of England. Set in the scandal-ridden Milan of the early 1990s,
it is a story about life choices and falling in love. She wrote it to
speak out about the insidious daily compromises that society, in
particular contemporary Italy, can create, and to celebrate our constant
ability to choose a better way. She hopes readers will find the book
entertaining, moving and inspiring. Globond will be assisting her to
market the book.

Milla Mathias' New Book "Quem Disse que Você não Tem Nada pra Vestir?"
("Who Says that you Have Nothing to Wear?")
(BR Press) – Every morning, millions of women confront their closet and
the mission of choosing the right piece of clothing to wear for one more
day of work, a professional event, a personal encounter or some other
occasion. It is in this hour, with little time and the clock ticking
that they grumble and yell out the famous expression “I don’t have
anything to wear". The closet is full of course, including full of
possibilities.

5 Steps to Going Viral on Twitter | Copyblogger
by Dan Zarrella
Back in 2006 when Brian wrote the Viral Copy report, Twitter didn’t even
exist. Now Twitter is a force that any serious web publisher needs to
reckon with in order to gain maximum exposure for content.
Twitter is changing the way information spreads online. Links that would
have been blogged a couple of years ago are now more often shared via
the micro-blogging service instead, which fundamentally changes strategy
when trying to get content to spread.

Globond Founder Kirstin Myers Speaks at Social Media
Networking Conference
(Adapted from a International Executive Resources Group press
release) With the widespread use of the Internet in the late 1990s,
businesses began to explore new ways of conducting and connecting with
business opportunities both on a national and international level. Now
with greater access to social media networking, the fundamentals of
human connections and relationships (the basic elements that are hard
wired in all of us) have become a vital business strategy for companies
to embrace to connect cultures with new business opportunities.

Ex-Shopaholic's Survival Tips
Yesterday, at the last minute, I decided to go to the movies. I searched
through the reviews and nothing seemed to hit. The opening of the long
awaited "2012," the doomsday scenario or latest version of Armageddon,
was compelling, but my gut said, "No." There are lots of scary,
Halloween films and other mainstream blockbusters. I'd already seen the
good ones, like "Men Who Stare At Goats," and I was quite content just
to stare at George Clooney for a couple of hours.

 A
Sorrow has become a Joy as NYC Globonder Leong Ying, PHD explains:
"November 21st, 2010 was the day of miracles marked by the wedding of
Denise Hui to my brother Peter Ying. A year earlier Denise's mother had
called for a priest to give last rites thinking her daughter was to
about see her last days on this Earth: Denise was diagnosed with
leukemia and there was no match for a bone-marrow donor. She was fading
fast. I believe that Kitty Ragin, (Globond's Chief Prayer Warrior) who
organized prayers with Globonders and Friends, after she got a desperate
call from me that day the priest visited, and Denise's own will for life
both played a role in her remarkable recovery. The miraculous results
are here for all to see!" |
