All screenings will take place at the Tribeca Cinemas in lower Manhattan and features FREE tickets to all films, informational panels with filmmakers and subject matter experts after many of the films, and in the spirit of Artivist, a special reception Saturday evening December 11th from 6:30p-11:30P which will host a special interactive forum to support the Artivist filmmakers and humanitarian NGO's who are invited to bring their materials for distribution/signage in honor of International Human Rights Day (12/10).
Founded in 2003, "ARTIVIST" is the first international film festival and awards ceremony dedicated to raising awareness for Human Rights, Children's Advocacy, Environmental Preservation, and Animal Advocacy. Artivist's mission is to strengthen the voice of socially conscious artists - "Artivists" - while raising public awareness for social global causes. The Festival has showcased 400+ films representing more than 60 countries around the world over the past 7 years and has reached millions of people with its film festivals in Hollywood, London, Tokyo, Mexico City, and Lisbon. In past years the Artivist festival has been recognized for the socially conscious platform it provides by Claes Nobel of the Nobel Prize family; by Senator Barbara Boxer, by the United Nations Department of Public Information; and is sponsored by Petrobras. HUMNEWS will also be featured in a short clip before each film as they launch their emerging market news site that will be featuring Artivist documentaries. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WupKelfV6Q

VIP Reception Saturday, 630P-11:30P ET:
Special Interactive Forum to Support the Artivist Filmmakers, Celebrities, Politicians,UN and NGO's and their message.
NGO's are invited to bring their materials for distribution/signage.
Artivist Founder-President, Diaky Diaz, states: "Raising awareness for the interdependence between Humanity, Animals, and the Environment is the true mission of Artivist. Filmmakers and NGOs from around the world gather at the Artivist Film Festival to support Films that not only inform but inspire positive actions in our global community." She adds, "we are truly energized by this year's festival attendance and we look forward to this week's film festival at Tribeca Cinemas in New York City."
This year, Artivist proudly welcomes back Petrobras as its Official Community Partner. Since 2007, Petrobras has supported the efforts and growth of the international Artivist Organization. Understanding the interdependence between humanity, animals, and the environment is crucial in our global community. By working with individuals and groups, organizations and corporations, we can create long-term solutions to our global problems.
Petrobras, a Brazilian energy company, has a 30 year history of producing and using ethanol from sugar cane as fuel for vehicles, and is now committed to increasing the production and exports of ethanol. At their new research center, scientists are looking for ways to produce ethanol from farming byproducts, which can increase production without the need for more farming land. Petrobras is the largest funder of Cultural Arts Programs in Brazil, and a partner of hundreds of social projects specially focused on reducing poverty and creating opportunities for children and teenagers living in some of the poorest neighborhoods in Brazil.
As the only company in the oil & gas sector that is part of the Global Compact Board of the United Nations, Petrobras commits its corporate governance to the 10 principles set forth by the UN. In 2010, selected projects received 45 million dollars to help protect endangered species like sea turtles, spinners dolphins and the manatee, as well as initiatives on carbon capture, water protection, biodiversity, and climate change.
Artivist is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. All proceeds benefit the Artivist Film Festival Tours and year-round programs dedicated towards creating platforms for socially conscious "Artivists" to share their inspirational and informative films with the world.

David Saunders, an active member of the CSA 2010 Task Force and CEO of Compliance Safety Systems, announces to the transportation industry his solution regarding the new CSA 2010 mandates.

2010-12-09

Many historians today consider the period of 1860 to 1865 as the most profoundly important era in the country's history. When the "union" split and came together as a "nation," the impact was felt across the globe then and defines who we are as a country to this day.
To honor this most sacred 'event,' SevenScoreandTenYearsAgo journeys back to the mid-19th Century with its team of historical journalists and commentators, providing ...

Using new materials to make more reliable nanoelectromechanical systems
2010-12-08
Given their outstanding mechanical and electrical properties, carbon nanotubes are attractive building blocks for next-generation nanoelectromechanical devices, including high-performance sensors, logic devices, and memory elements. However, manufacturing challenges associated with creating well-ordered arrays of individual carbon nanotubes and the nanotube-devices' prevalent failure modes have prevented any large-scale commercial use.
Now, researchers at Northwestern University, the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies at Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories, ...

Blumstein, a leader in the field of applying social network statistics to animals, and his colleagues studied four groups of yellow-bellied ...
