Occupy Wall Street and the 99% -- The Painful Process of Awakening a Citizenry by Alex Warden
 "This shift in awareness expresses itself as a deeper democratic understanding similar in nature to the change in perspective that occurred during the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. This deeper democratic understanding is still about gaining freedom from oppressive structures--but rather than being just a local change in consciousness, this shift is global and expresses itself differently in other parts of the world. Today, the issue in the US is corporate dictatorship, while the expression of the same thing in the Arab world is governmental dictatorship --both oppressive structures that serve to eliminate the power of the people."

The History Behind Friday the 13th by WoodTV.com
 "In Norse mythology, Friday is named for Frigga, the free-spirited goddess of love and fertility. When Norse and Germanic tribes converted to Christianity, Frigga was banished in shame to a mountaintop and labeled a witch. It was believed that every Friday, the spiteful goddess convened a meeting with eleven other witches, plus the devil — a gathering of thirteen — and plotted ill turns of fate for the coming week. For many centuries in Scandinavia, Friday was known as 'Witches' Sabbath.' "

Keep Out! Top Secret Places Governments Don’t Want You To Know About by Nick Redfern
 "...whether situated deep under the oceans, far below the ground, or within the heart of remote desert locales, countless secret places are guarded with a paranoid zeal by those in power who wish to keep their secrets buried and locked far away from prying‐eyes. Sometimes, however, the huge, steel, near‐impenetrable vault‐like doors that help to hide the shocking truths open wide – or are forced open ‐ and the shocking secrets within are revealed…"

Evolver: A Social Network For Conscious Collaboration
 "Evolver is a new social network for conscious collaboration. It provides a platform for individuals, communities, and organizations to discover and share the new tools, initiatives, and ideas that will improve our lives and change the world. Are you an evolver? Evolvers are hope fiends and utopian pragmatists. We see the creative chaos of this time as a great gift and opportunity to rethink, reconnect, and reinvent. Evolvers appreciate pristine mountains, open source economics, and the precocious laughter of small children. Evolvers belong to the regenerative culture of the future, being born here and now."

Turkey earthquake: Desperate search for survivors by BBC News
 "Every five blocks or so, one building has completely collapsed, so that what was once a seven-storey-high building is now a one-storey-high building.And trapped in between those floors are both the dead bodies of people who were there at the time and also some people still alive who got caught in little safe pockets within the buildings. There is an immense rescue effort going on, diggers, cranes, men climbing over the buildings, digging with their bare hands, trying to find people that they believe may still be alive inside.The big problem at the moment is the cold night. It is very high here, 1,500m (5,000ft) above sea level. It is dropping below 0C (32F) at night, clearly not a place to be sleeping outside under the stars."- Daniel Sandford, BBC News, Ercis

Robert Thurman Explains The Dalai Lama's Retirement by Jen Carlson, The Gothamist
 "It was announced
that the Dalai Lama was retiring, more specifically, stepping down as Tibet's political leader. We talked to Robert Thurman, president of the Tibet House
here in New York, about what this really means. This is a unique situation and Thurman tells us to keep in mind there is a difference between "succession" of a political leadership role moving from a spiritual leader to an elected leader, and "succession" of a reincarnating lama by dying and being found again after subsequent rebirth in another family."

Invisible Children: From A Documentary to a Movement.
 "Many children grow up being afraid of the dark. In Uganda, fear of the dark isn't about fictitious monsters under the bed or in the closet—it's the fear of losing their lives. That's because nighttime in northern Uganda is when the rebel soldiers of the Lord's Resistance Army, labeled a terrorist group by the United States, storm small villages and rip children from their homes, forcing them to join the rebel army.
..
To avoid these nighttime horrors, thousands of Ugandan children leave their parents and their homes every evening and trek in the darkness in packs to larger nearby towns where they sleep for the night..."

Interview with Sandra Ingerman By Megan McFeely
 "Several months ago I had a conversation with a great American Shaman, Sandra Ingerman...we discuss how we as individuals can actively participate in the healing of the world...what Sandra says can be applied to any world event...How can we support positive things and how can we work with the positive in seemingly negative situations? We also talked about what is being taught to us through world events and how we might listen to the symbolism...and support what is being born....And then we moved into the idea of spiritual responsibility...what can we do to champion what is coming alive in us and around us and how our joy and following our hearts can guide us beyond ego desires to contribute to the health of the whole."
