<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The Make Peace movement though has spread throughout the world especially with street and graffiti artists, from cities like New York to Miami, it has taken on a life of it own, from artists, streets, knitting circles, DIY crafters, the new make peace symbol is being adopted to send a strong and clear message of hope.

<br />
Thousands download free make peace symbol tattoo designs. The New Make Peace symbol for proactive peace making is sweeping aside the classic peace sign tattoo. The new symbol has strong visual tattoo designs, as well as huge "street cred" since over 4000 New York City artists have adopted the new symbol into street artworks, tagging and more. Along with the New York artists, Miami, Paris, Berlin Denmark, India have also joined in effort to spread the new symbol.<br />
It is expected considering that 70 percent of all adults in the U.S. alone have at least one tattoo, that the quality and new symbol design will reach nearly 50 million people in the next few months online. Thus the Make peace symbol will be sweeping the world in so many new ways, tattoos, activists, street & graffiti artist, sculptures and artworks, murals and more.<br />

<br />
By Terry Milest<br />
<br />
4000 Street and graffiti artists and more each day in New York City alone have joined in using the New Make Peace symbol in their street and graffiti art. 10,000 day glow stickers with the symbol will also be put up all over the major art and fashion centers of the city, as a major art exhibit will open in Sept, 2013 in NYC. Along with this major art dealers of the 1980's graffiti art world will be joining in, with artists world wide from Paris, Germany, Italy, England, Japan, Iran, and Egypt , thus expanding the global numbers to well over 15,000 world wide street artists. Art galleries in India, Paris, and San Francisco are also working to exhibit these works in a "Make Peace Project, 100,000 New Symbol Walls" traveling global art exhibition of the thousands of artwork photographs of public street artworks using the new global symbol.<br />
<br />
Major Press articles in Los Angeles and San Francisco, with full interviews have already taken place, attracting street artists groups and crews to create the "largest single collective artwork in the history of the 21st century art". Museums such as MOCAD the museum of contemporary art Detroit have also been contacted for special follow up art museum exhibition: <i>"Make Peace in Mike Kelly's Basement" </i>exhibition of the street artworks there.<br />

The Make Peace symbol is the creation of artist and designer
Paul-felix Montez and takes peace making to a new proactive “do it now”
message. The Old Peace symbol is now split into two circles, each a half
of the original Peace symbol, but waiting to be reassembled, and
connect to the old peace symbol’s original form.<br />
<br />
Since Make Peace
Projects launch in it’s first four months it has gained over 15,000
social media active followers promoting it world wide. Along with this
accomplishment, the Make Peace sculpture has won a World Peace Monuments
award for excellence promoting it to all who love peace. </div>
<div class="content" id="bd" itemprop="articleBody">
</div>
<div class="content" id="bd" itemprop="articleBody">
If these two
events weren’t enough a huge “grassroots”<wbr></wbr> activist movement has
spread from city to city in the United states, using online petitions,
activists in cities are using online petitions to get their city a 60
foot tall stainless steel, Make Peace sculpture and peace park. In the
United States alone there are over 385,000 War Monuments, how many Peace
monuments, less than 200. Make Peace brand is definitely in the process
of becoming a world culture unifier and changer. Style, message, cause, a powerful new global brand has been born and Makes peace.<br />
<br />
Make
Peace Project and Brand can be found online, with complete details for
joining in to start your city’s online petition and movement and or
joining on all social media.<br />

a sound economic policy and a stable macroeconomic framework is
essential to societies recovering from violent conflict, yet few
practitioners have the background needed to apply economic concepts
effectively. USIP’s new publication titled “<a href="http://bookstore.usip.org/books/BookDetail.aspx?productID=321925">Peace Economics: A Macroeconomic Primer for Violence-Afflicted States</a>”
provides a concise but broad overview of practical ways that sound
macroeconomic fundamentals could be used to build stability in states
that are affected by violent conflict.<br />

discussion extends beyond economic principles into the wider realm of
social reconstitution, social contract, and social capital. Co-authors,
Jurgen Brauer and J. Paul Dunne, examine recent case studies and
illustrate the applicability of concepts presented in the book.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>This is a guest post from Megan Kearns. It originally appeared at </i><a href="http://opinionessoftheworld.com/2011/10/13/i-came-to-testify-in-pbs-series-women-war-and-peace/">The Opinioness of the World</a><i>.</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When we discuss war and security, we
don’t often explore its ramifications on women. Rape and sexual assault
are common threats women face globally. But of all the artillery and
tactics soldiers use, we rarely think of rape as a weapon of war. And
yet too often, it is. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Tuesday night, I watched<i> <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wnet/women-war-and-peace/features/i-came-to-testify/">I Came to Testify</a></i>, the first in the 5-part documentary series, <i><a href="http://opinionessoftheworld.com/2011/10/04/pbs-documentary-series-women-war-and-peace-explores-womens-role-in-conflict/">Women, War and Peace</a></i>, on PBS showcasing women’s role in war and its impact on women. Produced and written by <b>Pamela Hogan</b>, one of the series’ executive producers, <i>I Came to Testify</i> highlights the courageous women who testified about the rape camps during the Bosnian genocide. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The powerful film examines women’s
horrific experiences in the town of Foca in Bosnia (formerly
Yugoslavia), a site of one of the rape camps. Before the Bosnian War,
journalist <b>Refic Hodzic</b> said that brotherhood and unity was the
“ideology” in Yugoslavia; “no one cared who was Croat, who was Serb, who
was Muslim." But overnight, things changed. Many Serbs pulled their
children out of school and fled town. The Bosnian Muslims were
eventually dehumanized by Serbian soldiers, pitting neighbor against
neighbor. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Foca, soldiers rounded up the
Bosnian men, women and children. Men “were beaten, starved and executed
in concentration camps” while the women “were locked in hotels, schools,
private homes & makeshift prisons around the city." After they were
gathered, the rapes began. Soldiers threatened women; to cut off their
breasts, slit their throats and kill their daughters. Hundreds of women
and girls were held captive in rape camps. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Established by the United Nations
Security Council in 1993, the Yugoslav War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague,
Netherlands was the first tribunal established in Europe since
Nuremberg and the first ever convened during a war. 16 women agreed to
travel to The Hague to share their nightmarish ordeal. As narrator <b>Matt Damon</b> (who wanted to be a part of the documentary because of his 4 daughters) said: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote>
"Their testimonies would embody the experience of hundreds of women held captive in Foca." </blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the witnesses, called <b>Witness 99</b>
to protect her anonymity, recounted how on the day they were rounded
up, she was raped in front of her in-laws and then they were murdered in
front of her. Witness 99 escaped to a refugee camp where the horror of
rape continued. Another witness said she "cried and pleaded" for the
soldiers to let her go "but they just laughed." Another witness
testified that one of the soldiers told another, "You have to learn how
to rape Muslim women like we are doing." The women said fear "paralyzed"
them. </div>

Foca, half the residents, 20,000 Muslims were just gone. All 14 mosques
were destroyed. Evidence in Foca showed that a campaign could be built
to prove that a systematic, organized campaign of rape had been "used as
an instrument of terror." While the UN estimated 20,000 women raped in
Bosnia, others say it was more like 50,000. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Peggy Kuo</b> served as a trial
attorney with the tribunal. She declared that "rape has always been an
undercurrent of war." When talking about war, the term "rape and
pillage" frequently arises. But we don’t really think about what the
words mean. Kuo said the soldiers raped the women, objectifying them and
attempting "to strip them of their identity." Journalist Hodzic
explained: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote>
"Rape was used not only for the immediate impact on women but for the long-term destruction on the soul of the community." </blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Witness 99 asserted: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote>
"Rape is the worst form of humiliation for any woman. But that was the goal: to kill a woman's dignity."</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
women heroically faced their fears to share their stories. They were
astutely deemed heroes by those interviewed in the film. As Kuo
articulated: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote>
"…The
people who came and testified were able to maintain their dignity and
they didn't let the perpetrators take their humanity away from them. So
yes in one sense they were victims. But in another sense, they were the
strong ones. They survived." </blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While
rape had been charged as a crime before, it usually falls under the
umbrella of hate crimes. With this groundbreaking tribunal, for the
first time rape was charged as "a crime against humanity." The case
wouldn’t prevent all rapes. But Kuo said that even though they couldn’t
prosecute every rape, it was a significant statement to acknowledge what
happens to women during war. The case "transformed the definition of
wartime slavery," laying the "foundation of trials involving violence
against women in international courts." </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
War leaves devastation in its wake.
Yet historically, when we talk about war, we talk about it in terms of
soldiers and casualties; too often from a male perspective, forgetting
that it equally destroys women’s lives. Kuo explained: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote>
"Looking at pictures of Nuremberg, it's mostly men...women aren't given a place at the table, even as a witness..." </blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And that still holds true today. We need to reframe security issues from a gendered lens. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Genocide frighteningly still occurs;
people systematically killed because of their ethnicity, religion or the
color of their skin. As tragically seen in <a href="http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/study-abroad/100317/the-weapon-too-few-talk-about">Sierra Leone</a> and the <a href="http://articles.cnn.com/2009-10-16/world/amanpour.congo.rape.documentary_1_anneke-van-woudenberg-eastern-congo-congolese-army?_s=PM:WORLD">Democratic Republic of the Congo</a>,
soldiers utilize rape as a weapon of war again and again. Rape and
sexual assault occur beyond conflicts and don’t only threaten women as <a href="http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=93960">men face rape in wartime</a> too. It’s an epidemic we must combat. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bravery bolstered the 16 Bosnian women
to come forward, speaking out against the unspeakable atrocities they
survived. As Witness 99 so eloquently said: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote>
"War
criminals wouldn't be known & there would be no justice if
witnesses didn't testify…I was glad to be able to say what happened to
me and to say who had done this to me & my people. I felt like I had
fulfilled my duty. I came to look him in the face. I came to testify." </blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We
live in a rape culture that continually silences women’s narratives.
The survivors’ horrific experiences shock and haunt. If we ever hope to
change things and obtain justice and peace, <i>I Came to Testify</i> reminds us that women’s voices must be heard. </div>

The
United States used as one of it's excuses for the IRAQI WAR, women's
rights, and that they were going to bring educational equality to Women
in both Iraqi and Aphganistan. The results so far are dismal, of the
promised thousands of schools available only a hundred are functioning,
and most do not include girls.<br />

When it comes to making War, and finding
in this 21st century world a reason the U.S. has led the way, while at
Home, women's equality of equal pay, as well as Pro choice rights, are
being dealt blow after blow by the U.S. Congress and Presidential
candidates. The question is, can the U.S. find at home or globally a
policy for women's rights which does not exploit them and only make,
"promises"?<br />
<br />
<br />
Malala Yousafzai now
hospitalized in Pakistan and her life threatened, is but one heroic
women's efforts for education, yet where is the U.S. outcry, nearly
mute. Will this double standard now cost hundreds of lives, while the
U.S. still fights it's war at home and abroad against women?<br />

<br />
Your hearing it First Star Trek fans! Yes <b>Conan O'Brien</b> was called out by <b>William Shatner "the Captain" of Star Trek</b>
fame, to to cave in or face the full blast of the Star ship Enterprise,
and he wasn't talking about stun. Conan's remarks about using Klingon
tactics, got Shatner boiling. "Klingon who?" was heard muttered and then
came the big guns! Full star ship Enterprise comeback! Then it got
nasty when Captain Shatner had to hose down O'Brien that way, but the
Peace-O-Omatic jumped in and intergalactic peace was restored, in an
instant, at least for now.<br />

Open-source
technologies are playing a pivotal role in helping non-profit
organizations around the world to advance their mandates in innovative
ways. These tools can variously help with visualizing data on specific
issues, empowering citizens to act together on a common issue,
communicating and organize community stakeholders, warning communities
about potential problems, soliciting community input on new initiatives,
etc. While these are not inherently <b>"peace technologies," </b>they can help
be powerful tools that help to empower communities and promote social
change anywhere.</div>

Ushahidi is an open-source, mapping tool that allows people to use
mobile phones or computers to submit reports – anonymously in some cases
– on a particular issue. It is used for a variety of reasons and in
widely different contexts. Here are a few examples of how Ushahidi has
been used successfully used across the globe:<br />
• Ushahidi was originally developed and used in Kenya to map the
violence that spread across the country following the 2007 election. It
was used again in 2010 as <a href="http://www.uchaguzi.co.ke/">Uchaguzi</a> to monitor the results of the constitutional referendum.<br />
• Egyptian’s are using Ushahidi to report and map incidents of sexual harassment and violence through <a href="http://www.harassmap.org/">HarassMap</a><br />
• In <a href="http://haiti.ushahidi.com/">Haiti</a>, it was used to help
report and plan for the crisis that followed the earthquake in January
of 2010. This helped to save the lives of many people under the rubble.<br />
• In the <a href="http://www.sudanvotemonitor.com/">Sudan</a>, Ushahidi was used to monitor the results of the independence referendum.<br />
• In <a href="http://emoksha.org/">India</a> Ushahidi has been used as an elections monitoring tool.<br />
<h3>
FrontLine SMS</h3>
- <a href="http://www.frontlinesms.com/">http://www.frontlinesms.com</a><br />
Frontline SMS is a technology that enables Ushahidi. Using mobile phone
or computer, it allows users to send and receive text messages with
groups of people through mobile phones. It is used by non-profit
organizations to reach specific groups of individuals within a target
community, enabling them to: run an awareness raising campaign, launch a
competition, administer text-based surveys and keep in touch with
fieldworkers and staff.<br />
This technology is being used in Egypt to support the HarassMap
sexual harassment mapping technology. It is also being used by ‘Plan
International’ to strengthen both local and national reporting of
trafficking and violence in Benin. It was used in Burundi to support
peacekeeping during the 2010 elections in Burundi.<br />

speak the same language, and who have longer messages to convey. Other
functionality includes SMS, Polls and Leave-a-Message.<br />
<h3>
MxIt</h3>
- <a href="http://www.mxit.com/">http://www.MxIt.com</a><br />

Seems
Las Vegas has people living in it not completely devoted to gamboling
and the "Vegas neon strip". Rather it seems this group wants a Make
Peace Art Sculpture Monument, to be located somewhere in the city. For a
city that celebrates it's violent past, with "The Mob Museum" this
would be such a radical shift, to a higher purpose. The group states:
"This is to have a new vision of the city, livable, concerned with
greater things rather than escapism, and self indulgence, alone. We want
something to build a city's values with and inspire those who live and
visit here to a more positive view of who Las Vegas citizens are and
what as a city Vegas could be, especially for new business not based in
gamboling and sexual allure alone."<br />
<br />
Las Vegas the
capitol of excess at least when it comes to over sized theme park style
displays, tons of neon lights and suburban sprawl, ever accept an
artwork that addresses "peace making"? Will the proposed sixty foot tall
sculpture budgeted at $360,000 dollars find a home in the city's
downtown, where the Zappos corporation is trying to create a new image
for creative, high tech business', and living? Discussion with Zappos'
Representatives for their "Downtown project" new arts festivals, music
etc. have begun. Zappos' CEO Tony Heish recently stated he is investing
$465 million dollars into housing, business development, incubator
parks, dinning etc. and relocating their corporate headquarters there
for a "new" silicon valley style business world. Could such a sculpture
monument fit into their plans, or elsewhere in the "New Vegas" as many
are calling this revitalization effort?<br />
<br />
The Make peace
sculpture, one has to admit, definitely has a powerful message and
elegant look, but can it fit into Vegas' image of "What happens here
stays here" and is often joked, "All Your money" after gamboling and
strip clubs? Is it a city that cares about such values as "Making
Peace"? A few brave peace makers in the city obviously think so. Take a
look for yourself, at the artist's concept drawing in front of Las
Vegas' new Smith Center cultural building downtown:<br />

Cranked-up guitars and sobering statistics shared a Central Park audience of more than 60,000 people on Saturday at the <a href="http://www.globalcitizen.org/">Global Citizen Festival</a>,
a five-hour concert on the Great Lawn devoted to ending extreme poverty
worldwide. The concert was also webcast internationally. </h6>

<div itemprop="articleBody">
The headliner was <a href="http://www.neilyoung.com/index2.html" title="his Web site">Neil Young</a>
with Crazy Horse, the band that has perfected rock as a primordial
stomp. Sharing the lineup were guitar-driven bands that have obviously
listened closely to Mr. Young through the years: <a class="meta-org" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/f/foo_fighters/index.html?inline=nyt-org" title="More articles about the Foo Fighters.">Foo Fighters</a>, the Black Keys and <a href="http://www.bandofhorses.com/" title="the band’s Web site">Band of Horses</a>. It was a narrow, old-school, all-male slice of rock, with a hint of internationalism for starters: the rapper and singer <a href="http://www.knaanmusic.com/" title="the singer’s Web site">K’Naan</a>,
who was born in Somalia and now lives in Canada (and whose band
included a female keyboardist). An unannounced guest, John Legend, sang
John Lennon’s vision of global citizenship, “Imagine.” </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=iMjNOoLrEwo" title="a YouTube sampling">Mr. Young’s set</a>
was molten and unkempt, yet it had his own kind of finesse. He and
Crazy Horse, on their first tour since 2004, often huddled near the
center of the stage, bobbing back and forth until their heads nearly
touched, and their songs sometimes welled up out of a caldron of drone
and distortion. </div>

But really how many of us can use a stress
reduction peace quote twittered to us, or texts to us everyday, to
chill, cool out, and reduce stress? How many of us really know how to
"make peace", versus the great abstract idea of "Peace"? World Peace is
overwhelming without help for any of us, and having insights, humor, and
methods shown to us every day, can help us pave the wave to a more
peaceful life, and world. Thank you Peace-O-Matic!<br />

<br />
The State Department-led project involves the building of independent
phone networks in foreign countries and the creation of a $2-million
prototype<b> "Internet in a suitcase"</b> by an entrepreneurial outfit
operating out of a building on L Street in Washington, D.C., <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/12/world/12internet.html" target="_blank"><i>The New York Times</i> reported.</a><br />
<br />
The idea is to fit innocent-looking hardware components into a package
that could easily be taken into a repressive country and quickly
assembled to deliver wireless service across a wide area to maintain
crucial communications between legitimately protesting citizens,
according to <i>The Times</i>, which cited "dozens of interviews, planning documents and classified diplomatic cables" it obtained.<br />
<br />
"We see more and more people around the globe using the Internet,
mobile phones and other technologies to make their voices heard as they
protest against injustice and seek to realize their aspirations,"
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was quoted as saying by the
paper.<br />
<br />
"There is a historic opportunity to effect positive change, change
America supports. So we're focused on helping them do that, on helping
them talk to each other, to their communities, to their governments and
to the world."
<br />
In addition to the "Internet-in-a-suitcase" project, the State
Department is funding "stealth wireless networks" in Iran, Syria, and
Libya, among other countries.<br />
<br />
Foggy Bottom and the Pentagon are also teaming up on a $50-million
project to build an independent cellphone network in Afghanistan—where
the Taliban has been able to shut down service "seemingly at will" —with
cell towers located on military bases in the country, the newspaper
reported.<br />
<br />
The "Arab Spring" uprisings of the past several months have drawn attention to <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2386369,00.asp" target="_blank">network shutdowns and censorship</a>
conducted by regimes under threat like the Syrian and Egyptian
governments as they attempt to stifle protesting citizens' ability to
communicate with each other and to inform the outside world of what's
going on in the protest zones.<br />
<br />
The <i>Times</i> noted that the Obama administration's "shadow" Internet
project is ambitious, but could be considered a next step in
decades-long U.S. efforts to foster democratic, potentially
U.S.-friendly movements in countries with hostile regimes through media
like its Voice of America radio broadcasts.<br />
<br />
The various projects incorporate both U.S. government-developed
technologies and "tools that have already been created by hackers in a
so-called <b>liberation-technology movement </b>sweeping the globe." </span><br />

The online postings were from a disturbance late Sunday that shut down a
manufacturing facility in Taiyuan in north China, where 79,000 workers
were employed. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
State-run news media said 5,000 police officers had to be called in to
quell a riot that began as a dispute involving a group of workers and
security guards at a factory dormitory. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The unrest was noteworthy because the factory site is managed by <a class="meta-org" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/foxconn_technology/index.html?inline=nyt-org" title="More articles about Foxconn Technology.">Foxconn Technology</a>, one of the world’s biggest electronics manufacturers and an important supplier to companies like<b> <a class="meta-org" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/business/companies/apple_computer_inc/index.html?inline=nyt-org" title="More information about Apple Incorporated">Apple</a>, Dell, Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard. </b></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
A spokesman for Foxconn said the company was investigating the cause of
the incident. But analysts say worker unrest in China has grown more
common because workers are more aware of their rights, and yet have few
outlets to challenge or negotiate with their employers. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
When they do, though, the results can be ugly and, because of social
media and the Web, almost instantly transmitted to the world in their
rawest and most unfiltered form. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
“At first it was a conflict between the security guards and some
workers,” said a man who was reached by telephone after he posted images
online. The man said he was a Foxconn employee. “But I think the real
reason is they were frustrated with life.” </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The company said that as many as 2,000 workers were involved in the
incident but that it was confined to an employee dormitory and “no
production facilities or equipment have been affected.” </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Nonetheless, the plant was closed, the company said. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Foxconn, which is based in Taiwan and employs more than 1.1 million
workers in China, declined to say whether the Taiyuan plant made
products for the Apple <a class="meta-classifier" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/i/iphone/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier" title="Recent and archival news about the iPhone.">iPhone</a>
5, which went on sale last week. A spokesman said the factory supplied
goods to many consumer electronics brands. An employee at the Taiyuan
plant said iPhone components were made there. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Supply-chain experts say most <b>Apple-related</b> production takes place in
other parts of China, particularly in the provinces of Sichuan,
Guangdong and Henan. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Apple referred questions to Foxconn. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Labor unrest in Taiyuan, in northern China’s Shanxi Province, comes as
strikes and other worker protests appear to be increasing in frequency
this year compared with last year, said Geoffrey Crothall, spokesman for
the China Labor Bulletin, a nonprofit advocacy group in Hong Kong
seeking collective bargaining and other protections for workers in
mainland China.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Many of the protests this year appear to be related to the country’s
economic slowdown, as employees demand the payment of overdue wages from
financially struggling companies, or insist on compensation when
money-losing factories in coastal provinces are closed and moved to
lower-cost cities in the interior.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
But the level of labor unrest in China this year has not yet matched
2010, when a surge in inflation sparked a wave of worker demands for
higher pay, Mr. Crothall said. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The Taiyuan protest comes at a politically delicate time in China, with a
Communist Party Congress expected in the coming weeks to anoint a new
general secretary and a new slate of members for the country’s most
powerful body, the Standing Committee of the Politburo. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The government has been tightening security ahead of the conclave
through measures like restricting the issuance of visas and devoting
considerable resources to watching and containing disturbances like the
recent anti-Japanese demonstrations. <b><i>(continued)</i></b></div>

Did you take a moment to make peace? Did you communicate it was a
united world peace day, working to make peace? Did you think of freeing
all those struggling in poverty, war, hate to live in peace and how you
might make peace? Did you think of what really happens when Peace is a
reality in your community, town city, country, world and planet? Make
peace:</div>

In 1969, Yoko Ono and John Lennon invited the public to join
their honeymoon as it unfolded in a Montréal bedroom, complete with a <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/25/john-lennon-bed-in-interview_n_1624523.html" target="_hplink">song-writing session with Timothy Leary</a>. This was the start of the couples'<a href="http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1887244_1860958,00.html" target="_hplink"> iconic bed-in series</a>, and a showcase for what would become one of Ono's favorite concepts: Peace.<br />
Today being the <a href="http://peaceoneday.org/" target="_hplink">International Day of Peace</a>, Ono isn't missing her cue. <a href="http://www.artproductionfund.org/projects" target="_hplink">Art Production Fund</a> and Ono's anti-fracking <a href="http://imaginepeace.com/" target="_hplink">Imagine Peace initiative</a>
have arranged to broadcast the words "Imagine Peace" hourly across the
three largest screens in Times Square all day today, through an
initiative by the Times Square Alliance public art program. American
Eagle, MTV and Viacom will be displaying the message in 24 languages, so
polyglots can rejoice. <br />
In an e-mail to The Huffington Post, Ono said her wish for the Day of
Peace is "for all of us to think peace, and allow each other to be
peaceful at the same time. Even if it was for one day out of the year,
it will have a great effect on our planet and the Universe."<br />
<br />
<b>She also wrote us a short poem:</b><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;">Peace makes people smile, and the nature shine.<br />
It covers our world with wisdom and love<br />
It is the most beautiful thing in life.</span></blockquote>
