Calling all Continental Contributions
We are wondering if you have any good music contacts in South Africa, or other places in the world? Or maybye you want to join our project?
The project is called PingPong Remix and is about making music together with participants form all over the world and at the same time collect money to refugees!
Here follows a description of the project and a link to our web page.
If you know any musicians and artists that might be interested, please let us know, or pass the information forward. The event starts on december 13th, so we look forward to hearing from you very soon.
PingPongRemix
PingPong Remix is a collaborative music event connecting musicians from around the world to create music together.
The Remix will take place with the Musikhjälpen event from December 13 to 19, to raise money and awareness for refugees around the world. The goal of the Remix is to break down cultural barriers and create worldwide musical exchanges.
How it works
PingPong Remix works by collecting sounds from around the world on this website. The sounds can be a basic beat, rhythm, melody, spoken word, or even just ambience sound from the artist’s culture.
Up to and during the event, you can sign up and contribute with sounds. From the website you can then download other people’s sounds and mess them up, add your own beats and melody, upload and share. During the 6 days, the online collection of music will grow and be enriched by layers and remixes from different cultures.
Make the world listen
Our ambition is that the completed tracks are put online and made available to purchase to the world, with all money going to Musikhjälpen, supporting specific refugee help programs.
Join the project!
The PingPong Remix will happen during one week. We need your talent creating sound bites, remixing and creating final tracks. Mail us at info@pingpongremix.com

SAFeAGE events
SAFeAGE, invites you to the following movies and events in November
The World According to Monsanto:
Monsanto's controversial past combines some of the most toxic products ever
sold with misleading reports, pressure tactics, collusion, and attempted
corruption. They now race to genetically engineer (and patent) the world's
food supply, which profoundly threatens our health, environment, and
economy. Combining secret documents with first-hand accounts by victims,
scientists, and politicians, this widely praised film exposes why Monsanto
has become the world's poster child for malignant corporate influence in
government and technology. 109 minutes
Sunday 16th November at 4.00
Sunday 23rd November at 4.00
Sunday 30th November at 4.00
The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil
When Cuba lost access to Soviet oil in the early 1990’s, the country faced
an immediate crisis – feeding the population – and an ongoing challenge: how
to create a new low-energy society. Cuba transitioned from large,
fossil-fuel intensive farming to small, less energy-intensive organic farms
and urban gardens, and from a highly industrial society to a more
sustainable one. This film tells the story of the Cuban people’s hardship,
ingenuity and triumph over sudden adversity – though cooperation,
conversation and community, told in their own words. As the word faces peak
oil Cuba provides a valuable example of how to successfully address the
challenge of reducing our energy use.

To book, call the Labia on 021-424-5927. Please book early to avoid
disappointment. We are using the small cinema’s at Kloof Street, not the big
one on Orange Street.
Please note that these movies will be at the Labia on KLOOF STREET, not the
Labia on Orange Street.
Also, The World According to Monsanto and The Power of Community should be
viewed in sequence. So we encourage you to book for both (and have supper in
between)! The first one, Life According to Monsanto, is a very sobering
account of how our lives are being manipulated by corporate agenda’s and the
second one, The Power of Community, is a positive, uplifting solution-based
story of what we can and should be doing to reclaim our lives from corporate
control.
SAFeAGE will be present at all showings to facilitate discussion and/or
provide resources for sustainable food production methods. For more
information on genetic engineering call SAFeAGE on 021-447-8445 or email
safeage@mweb.co.za. Website: www.safeage.org

GREEN FAIRE – SATURDAY 29TH NOVEMBER IN HOUT BAY
The Transition Town group in Hout Bay is organizing a Green Faire on
Saturday 29th November 2008,
(www.houtbaytransitiontown.info) as a means of raising environmental
consciousness, and presenting options for sustainable products and services.
The Green Faire will be held outside the Hout Bay Community Cultural Centre,
adjacent to Hout Bay common (corner Main Rd and Princess Street). The stands
will be arranged in concentric circles around the children's edutainment
area in the middle of the adjacent field. Come along and watch the wind
generator turn in Hout Bay and enjoy solar-cooked food, live music (solar
powered), live earthworms and other fascinating creatures. SAFeAGE will be
there selling our DVDs and books so do come and support us and forward to
those who may be interested.

Captology
This is the study of "computers" as persuasive technologies. This includes the design, research, and analysis of interactive computing products created for the purpose of changing people's attitudes or behaviors.
The interesting bit is what the Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab does, essentially researching how persuasive interactive technologies can bring about positive change in the world, which includes their World Peace in 30 years project. Their blog is also quite charmin'.
