With quite a lot of clues from 50 million bookmarks of collaboration knowledge city, we have been profiling what village sub-networks a city needs if its citizens are going to help chnage the world on such humanitarina agendas as make poverty history or natural agendas as simultaneouly roll out clean photosynthesis energy everywhere

we conclude that 5 village sub-networks are critical, one of these (we call searchtheresa) is deeply caring enough to enable women networks to flourish around deep recociliation agenda and grassroots up projects

if a minx could change the world, to kellie hoping you find a mission as well as fame

if as we have mapped since 1984, the first network generation is being cahllenged by 7 collaboration waves that will sustain or destroy whether children see the 22nd century, then the BBC is doing such a lousy job on cheerleading the media wave that Brits must close it down unless social entrepreneur olympics become as popular as sports on the beeb

Women Stories
eg 1 From roving reporter for Columbia : Kavindra Mathi- contributed 14 March 2005Antanas Mockus, burst onto the Colombian political scene in 1993 when, faced with a rowdy auditorium of the school of arts' students, he dropped his pants and mooned them to gain quiet. A mathematician and philosopher, Mockus looked around for another big challenge, "a 6.5 million person classroom." He resigned as rector, the top job of Colombian National University, and ran for mayor of Bogotá with no political experience.The former mayor had to address many fronts simultaneously. Once the mother of a 3-year-old girl called his office to say that meeting Mockus was her daughter's only birthday wish. But the meeting also revealed, said Mockus, that Colombian society has a long way to go. During the visit, the mother told him: "When I am going to hit her, she runs to the telephone and says that she is going to call Mockus. She doesn't even know how to dial a number, but obviously she thinks that you would protect her." Mockus, who has two daughters himself, was shocked at the woman's nonchalance about striking her daughter. There is almost always a civics lesson behind Mockus' antics. Florence Thomas, a feminist and a professor at Colombian National University, pointed out to Mockus that in Bogotá women were afraid to go out at night. "At that time, we were also looking for what would be the best image of a safe city, and I realized that if you see streets with many women you feel safer," Mockus explained. So he asked men to stay home and suggested that both sexes should take advantage of the "Night for Women" to reflect on women's role in society. He launched a "Night for Women" and asked the city's men to stay home in the evening and care for the children; 700,000 women went out on the first of three nights that Mockus dedicated to them, flocking to free, open-air concerts. They flooded into bars that offered women-only drink specials and strolled down a central boulevard that had been converted into a pedestrian zoneTo avoid legal challenges, the mayor stated that the men's curfew was strictly voluntary. Men who simply couldn't bear to stay indoors during the six-hour restriction were asked to carry self-styled "safe conduct" passes.Most men graciously embraced Mockus' campaign. That night the police commander was a woman, and 1,500 women police were in charge of Bogotá's security. (http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2004/03.11/01-mockus.html)A quote from him in an article in the Harvard Gazette, "The distribution of knowledge is the key contemporary task. Knowledge empowers people. If people know the rules, and are sensitized by art, humor, and creativity, they are much more likely to accept change."
