On 10.10.10, that is October 10, 2010, people from all over the world who had access to a video camera and a way to upload it to ONE DAY ON EARTH (at Vimeo's video website) - uploaded their videos shot on that one day for a DVD project to illustrate the diversity of what went on ONE DAY ON EARTH. At this time you can go to Archive at One Day On Earth Videos and pick any one of the videos that were posted and watch them. I am including one of several here that I just watched. All were nice or great, but this one stood out to me.

Leilani Munter traveled to Taiji, Japan to bear witness to the needless slaughter of dolphins that occurs annually from September till March. These dolphins are rounded up to be sold to dolphinariums around the world and the dolphins that are not sold are killed and sold for meat. The meat that is gotten from these dolphins is toxic. These dolphins have high levels of mercury in them and poison those who eat the meat. We invite the viewer to travel to Taiji, Japan to also bear witness to this murder and to tell the world about what they've seen thru blogs, alerting the media and talking about it everywhere they go to raise awareness and stop this brutal and senseless killing of the dolphins and poisoning of the Japanese people.

PLEASE DO click on the post title and go to the world map and click on any marker to watch any video that was uploaded to participate in this project. Eventually, the team at ONE DAY ON EARTH will pick the best videos in their opinion and make a culminating DVD. You can order that DVD at the website.

Fields of Gold in Stereo
Eva Cassidy
Produced and uploaded by RicBNH

Text by Ric:
I discovered that due to technical video problems in her first set at Blues Alley in Washington DC USA,There is not a video in existance of Eva performing her version of Fields Of Gold. Eva is no longer with us now. Therefore, I have edited clips of Eva, slowed them down, and set them to her beautiful version of Fields Of Gold. I hope you enjoy this clip as it is probably the closest we will ever get, short of having been there in Washington that night, to seeing Eva perform this beautiful song. Note: I scoured the planet and this is the only video version you will probably find of her performing this song.

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

PANGEA DAY ~ MAY 10, 2008 ~ TIME TO IMAGINE A DIFFERENT SORT OF WORLD

In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that -- to help people see themselves in others -- through the power of film.

Pangea Day taps the power of film to strengthen tolerance and compassion while uniting millions of people to build a better future.

Pangea is the name of the original super-continent which contained all the world's land mass before the continents started splitting apart 250 million years ago. We're launching Pangea Day with the vision that the people of the world can begin to overcome their divisions, and that the power of film can help make it possible.

On May 10, 2008 -- Pangea Day -- sites in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked to produce a 4-hour program of powerful films, visionary speakers, and uplifting music. The program will be broadcast live to the world through the Internet, television, digital cinemas, and mobile phones.

Of course, movies alone can't change the world. But the people who watch them can. So following May 10, 2008, Pangea Day organizers will facilitate community-building activities around the world by connecting inspired viewers with numerous organizations which are already doing groundbreaking work.

On May 10, we want the whole world to be watching the Pangea Day program. Join an extraordinary community of people who are coming together to do just that by hosting an event.

You can host a Pangea Day event in your home, school, town square, or wherever you want to gather your friends, family, and community.

Visit www.pangeaday.org and plot your event on our map today! And check out the website for more information.

Imagine! Kenya sings for India
Here, set against the backdrops of Nairobi city and the beautiful landscape of Uhuru Park (Maasai country), a Kenyan choir sings the Indian national anthem.

The director has chosen the Indian anthem because Kenya is home to a sizeable Hindu population (including Sikhs & Jains also) of approximately 2.5 million, most of them descendants of the East African Railways labourers who were brought over by the British during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the British colonialists ruled Kenya and the rest of the East African region.

IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT GW BUSH AS PRESIDENT

Link to George Bush singing Imagine

Text from poster, caltv : This is an audio mash up of GW Bush singing the John Lennon classic "Imagine". It has been a worldwide hit and has made it into (John Peel's) BBC Radio 1 Music Festive 50 on UK Radio By John Callaghan, 29, of Dublin, Ireland.

The audio was produced by Waxaudio, I created a video for it by tracking down over 40 separate video clips from George Bush speeches, I lip synched these clips to the audio and interspersed them with footage from the original imagine Video, along with some Iraq war footage and some other bits and pieces.
