Em seguida rolou um filme rápido narrado pelo fantástico texto de Carl Sagan.

Next there was a quick film, a narration of a fantastic piece of writing by Carl Sagan.

“Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.” Carl Sagan

I recently read in a magazine that there are about 5 million single women in France. Where are they?

The guy manages to go away from the usual stuff and makes something new, but in the end, it goes back to be worse than what it was, wonderful! WATCH it! The most cooler and revolutionary up to now!

MORE NA CABEÇA!!!

Sábado, 16:14, Estamos em Cuba, Havana, na Cuba dos malucos, CUBA LIBRE SE FAZ COM COCA-COLA!!! (recebi trocentos emails de esquerdistas descontentes com o meu texto).

O filme mostra um cubano que foi viver nos EUA para ganhar dinheiro e volta para Havana. O cara volta bem apessoado, a famiília continua pobre, vivendo em um apartamento caindo aos pedaços.

A famiília se reune para comemorar a volta do filho. Na mesa do jantar o irmão cubano que ficou começa um debate sobre capitalismo versus comunismo. A típica conversa de pobre de esquerda despeitado com o sucesso de quem trabalha INDIVIDUALMENTE. Dureza, show de filme, tudo a ver, ilustra perfeitamente o debate sobre SER DONO DO SEU PRÓPRIO NARIZ ou depender do governos corruptos e estruturas arcaicas para viver.

Saturday, 16:14 - We are in Havana, in crazy Cuba, CUBA LIBRE IS MADE WITH COCA-COLA! (I got thousand of emails from leftists unhappy with my text).
The film shows a Cuban guy who was living in the U.S. to earn money and go back to Havana. The guy comes quite handsome, his family is still poor, living in a falling to pieces flat.
The family gathers together to celebrate its kid's return. At the dinner table, the Cuban brother who stayed began a debate on capitalism versus communism. The typical left wing conversation from a poor, jealous guy envying the success of those working individually. This was hard, a wonderful film, spot on, which perfectly illustrates the debate on doing something on your own account or depending on corrupt governments and archaic structures to live.

A verdade é CHEGA DE RELIGIÃO, CHEGA DE IDEOLOGIA, CHEGA DE TEORIA, CHEGA DE PAÍSES, viva o INDIVÍDUO, NINGUÉM DEVE VIVER O SONHO DE OUTRAS PESSOAS, NINGUÉM DEVE SE SUJEITAR AS MALUQUICES DE ALGUÉM QUE VIVEM UMA TORRE DE MÁRMORE!

Sábado, 16:22, filme americano mostra uma partida de vôlei de praia usando o muro que separa os EUA e o México como rede. SHOW!!

The truth is, it is enough of religion, of ideology, theory, countries. Long life to the individual, nobody should live other people's dreams, nobody should be subjected to the madness of those who live in a marble tower!
Saturday, 16:22, an American film shows a volleyball match using the wall that separates the U.S. and Mexico as the net. SHOW!

Sábado, 16:24, agora é a vez do Brasil, Gilberto Gil ao vivo direto do Rio de Janeiro. Gil canta em FRANCÊS!!! É isso aí!!! FORA COM TODO TIPO DE BAIRRISMO!!! VIVA O PLANETA FORA OS BAIRROS!!! (Com certeza algum bairrista ignorante deve ter achado o Gil esnobe por saber cantar em francês. ERA POBREZA CEREBRAL!)

Saturday, 16:24, it is now Brazil's turn, Gilberto Gil is live directly from Rio de Janeiro. Gil sings in French! That's it! Out with any kind of localism! Cheers to all of the planet's neighborhood! (Certainly some ignorant must have found that Gil was snobbish for singing in French. Cerebral poverty era!)

Sábado, 16:30, primeiro filme da Ámerica do Sul, do Paraguai, uma animação. É a história de Fred, que mostra a nós que é possível mudar o mundo como nós quisermos. LINDO!!! (Eu sei que eu tô falando várias vezes as palavras lindos e maravilhosos mas é isso mesmo).

Saturday, 16:30, the first South American film, an animation from Paraguay. It is the story of Fred, that shows us that it is possible to change the world if we want to. Beautiful! (I know what I'm overusing the words beautiful and wonderful but that is it).

Sábado, 16:33, um curta mostra pessoas do mundo inteiro falando sobre “chorar”. Entra agora um filme sobre um Líbano que não existe mais. A mensagem é linda, mostra filmes caseiros de pessoas que desapareceram, e afirma “Se você tivesse conhecido essas pessoas, vocês nunca teriam tido coragem de nos atacar”. QUEBRA TUDO!

Saturday, 16:33, a short film shows people around the world talking about “crying”. There is now a film about a Lebanon that no longer exists. The message is beautiful, it shows home movies of people who have disappeared, and says “If you had known these people, you would never have had the courage to attack us.” Heartbreaking!

PangeaDay é sobre INSPIRAÇÃO! Nessa primeira hora e meia o meu reservatório de TESÃO TRIPLICOU.

Sábado, 16:41, Christiane Amanpour entrevista dois ex-soldados libaneses que contam como eles mudaram a maneira de encarar os inimigos. Eles estão falando sobre a jornada do ódio fundamentalista contra o inimigo até a sua redenção e pedido de perdão para as famílias daqueles que eles mataram durante a guerra.

Sába, 16:43, filme inglês, “Música no Elevador”, mostra que os verdadeiros líderes são aqueles que sabem usar com humanidade o poder que tem. SIMPLESMENTE FANTÁSTICO!!! IMPERDÍVEL!!! SHOW!!!

PangeaDay is about inspiration! In this first and half hours my excitement has tripled.
Saturday, 16:41, Christiane Amanpour interviews two ex-Lebanese soldiers who tell us how they changed the way they face the enemies. They are talking about the fundamentalist hatred journey against the enemy until redemption and they beg forgiveness to the families of those they killed during the war.
Saturday, 16:43, an English film, “Elevator Music” shows that true leaders are those who know how to use humanely the power they have. Simply fantastic! Unmissable! Spetacular!

Sábado, 16:47, os filmes que estão rolando no Pangea são uma espécie de comerciais de televisão, mas, o legal é que no final não aparecem pastas de dente, latas de cerveja ou carros a gasolina. Os filmes terminam com sorrisos, abraços, e uma super ultra mensagem de otimismo.

Saturday, 16:47, the films that are being broadcast in Pangea are a kind of TV adds, but the cool thing is that in the end there isn't a tooth paste, cans of beer or petrol cars. The films end with smiles, hugs, and a super ultra message of optimism.

Sábado, 16:49, psicólogo Robert Kurzban explica que hoje nós sabemos que o ser humano pode mudar, todo ser humano pode mudar, e que somos os grandes responsáveis pelas decisões que tomamos.

Um pequeno aperitivo para o próximo filme.

Saturday, 16:49, psychologist Robert Kurzban explains that today we know that human beings can change, every human being can change, and that we are the major responsible for the decisions we take.
A small appetizer for the next film.

O filme agora é alemão, “Telephone Game”, SIMPLESMENTE SHOW, e mostra durante uma brincadeira de criança que uma pessoa PODE, SE QUISER, mudar tudo. Realmente muito lindo, fantástica idéia.

The film now is German, “Telephone Game”, simply cool, and shows in a children play that a person can, if they want, change everything. Really very beautiful, a fantastic idea.

Agora o filme é sobre a guerra do iraque. Simplesmente o mais triste de todos os filmes até a gora. Um acidente no Iraque, morte de um cidadão, ódio que vai crescer, história que vai se espalhar boca-a-boca, sobre o mundo ocidental, no Iraque. Dureza…

The film now is about the war in Iraq. Simply, the saddest of all the films up to now. An accident in Iraq, the death of a citizen, a growing hatred, a word-of-mouth spread story about the western world, in Iraq. Hard.

Para fechar o assunto das diferenças entre americanos e iranianos, entra a Hypernova, uma banda de rock do IRÃ!!!! Antes que algum cabecinha chame os caras de “colonizados” ou qualquer classificação estúpida que cria bairros, os caras da Hypernova SIMPLESMENTE gostam de rock, e não interessa se nasceram no Irã, eles tocam ROCK, falam INGLÊS, vestem JEANS. Eles são cidadãos do mundo e não habiantes de um lugar chamado Irã.

Somente nos mapas políticos existem as divisões entre os países. As divisões não existem na natureza.

To finish off the subject of differences between Americans and Iranians, there is Hypernova, an Iranian rock band! Before some clever one call the guys “colonized” or any stupid classification that creates localism, the Hypernova guys simply like rock, and no matter whether they were born in Iran, they play rock, speak English, wear jeans. They are citizens of the world and not habitants a place called Iran.
Only in the political maps there are the divisions between the countries. The divisions do not exist naturally.

Saturday, 17:05, the film now is Iranian …. Very good! If you do not talk directly to someone, you will never know what she trully knows. Thinking doesn't help, talk!

Ele fala sobre como uma criança pode perder todas as suas emoções quando sujeita a uma guerra. Ele conta que depois da guerra ele teve que passar 8 meses em uma organização da ONU para poder voltar a sentir algum tipo de emoção. Ele está sendo aplaudido de pé.

He says that only by forgiving those who killed his family he was able to leave the hatred zone that had dominated his heart.

Sábado, 17:45, filme mostra o preconceito em Nova Iorque contra os muçulmanos. O fantástico é a sutileza do filme, e como a linguagem, as palavras e o jeito que falamos pode ferir uma pessoa. MÁGICO! Quanto de nós “acha” que uma pessoa é de um jeito apenas pelas roupas que elas usam ou suas origens? ASSISTA!

“Se você não sabe quem eu sou, e se eu não sei quem você é, nós vamos acabar imaginando que somos o que os outros pensam que somos.”

Saturday, 17:45, the movie shows New York prejudice against Muslims. Its subtlety is fantastic, and how language, words and the way we talk can hurt a person. Magic! How many of us “think” what someone is like only judging by the clothes they wear or their origins? Whatch it!
“If you do not know who I am and if I do not know who you are, we will end up imagining that we are what others think we are.”

Sábado, 17:48, um filme não pode mudar o mundo, MAS QUEM ASSISTE PODE! Todos os filmes até o momento são inspiradores, cheios de energia, emoção, para incentivar as pessoas a mudarem seus pontos de vista sobre o mundo.

O filme agora é sobre bom humor. “O homem não deve rir, o riso é o domínio dos deuses.” Platão. “Aqueles que riem sabem de algo que não sabemos. Eles pensam que sorrindo podem melhorar suas vidas. Eles pensam que são as pessoas mais saudáveis do mundo. Nós somos parte do Clube do Riso. Existem milhares de clubes do riso na Índia. O negócio deles é sorrir. O presidente do Clube do Riso indiano tem a meta de abrir 1 milhão de clubes do riso em o todo o planeta.

Saturday, 17:48, a film can not change the world, but those who watch it can! All films so far are inspiring, full of energy, emotion, to encourage people to change their views on the world.
The film now is about good sense of humour. “Men shall not laugh for laughter is the domain of the gods”, Plato. “These know something we don't. They believe laughter can change their lives. We are the happiest persons in the world. We are the healthiest persons of the world. We are Laughter Club members”. Today there are thousands Laughter Club throughout India. Their business is laughing. The Laughter Club of India president has a global mission of creating 1 million Laughter Clubs in the whole planet.

Sábado, 17:57, três horas de PangeaDay. Parece que começou 10 minutos atrás. MUITO BOM!

Entramos na hora final do evento. Emoções a flor da pele…

Saturday, 17:57, three hours of PangeaDay. It seems that it started 10 minutes ago. VERY GOOD!
We enter the final hour of the event. Emotions blossom…

Sábado, 18:06, Jehane Noujaim, idealizadora do evento sobe ao palco. Pangea Day surgiu na TED, aquele evento show de bola que eu falo o tempo todo. Foi na TED que a turma levantou a verba e os organizadores necessários para fazer a coisa toda acontecer.

Saturday, 18:06, Jehane Noujaim, the event creator goes on stage. Pangea Day derived from the TED prize, that very cool event that I speak about all the time. It was on TED that the guys raised the necessary money and organizers for the whole thing to happen.

O filme mostra agora como a morte das filhas em atentados terroristas, aproximou pais palestinos e israelenses no Oriente Médio. No palco, agora, familiares de palestinos e judeus que tiveram seus parentes mortos em conflitos no oriente médio. “O meu filho não queria lutar, ele fazia parte dos oficiais que se negavam a combater os palestinos. Ele não queria por nada lutar contra ninguém”, David, o filho, foi morto por uma causa que não era a dele.

“Eu perdi o meu irmão, vivi a vida inteira em campos de refugiados, desisti de grande maioria dos meus sonhos, mas eu não perdi a minha mente. O judeus não são os meus inimigos. O seu inimigo é o seu medo. O material consegue derrubar o material, mas o material por mais forte que seja não consegue derrubar o Ser Humano.”

The film now shows how the death of children in terrorist attacks, brought together Israelis and Palestinians parents in the Middle East. On stage now there are relatives of Palestinians and Jews who have lost their family in the Middle East conflicts. “My son did not want to fight, he was part of the officers who were were against fighting the Palestinians. He did not want to fight anybody for anything,” David, the son, was killed by a cause that was not his.”
I lost my brother, I lived all my life in refugee camps, I gave up the vast majority of my dreams, but I have not lost my mind. The Jews are not my enemies. Your enemy is your fear. Material can overthrow material, but that stuff is stronger that can not overthrow the Human Being. “

Sábado, 18:26, o filme agora é sobre soldados que resolveram lutar contra a guerra no oriente médio e fundam o “Combatentes pela Paz”. O filme conta histórias de soldados que desitiram de lutar quando perceberam que estavam lutando contra civis, e não contra algum tipo de mal. A entidade “Combatentes pela Paz” reune ex-combatentes de ambos os lados, palestinos e israelitas. Eles decidiram lutar pela paz, ao invés de lutar pela causa de um dos lados. “Temos que aprender a usar a nossa dor pela paz. Temos que acabar com essa guerra. Temos uma parceria pela paz. Precisamos viver em paz, a grande maioria que a paz, uma pequena minoria quer a guerra.”

Saturday, 18:26, the film now is about soldiers who decided fight against the war in the Middle East and founded the “Combatants for Peace.” The film tells us stories of soldiers who gave up fighting when they realized they were fighting against civilians, and not against any kind of evil. The “Combatants for Peace” organization gathers ex-combatants from both sides, Palestinians and Israelis. They decided to fight for peace rather than fight for the cause of one of the sides. “We have to learn to use our pain for peace. We must put an end to this war. We have a partnership for peace. We need to live in peace, the vast majority wants peace, a small minority wants war.”

Sábado, 18:37, Deve Stewart, fundador do Eurythmics, comanda um musical sobre paz, ódio e guerra. Ele canta America, que fez com Bono.

Saturday, 18:37, Dave Stewart, Eurythmics founder, commands a musical about peace, hatred and war. He sings America, which he did with Bono.

Sábado, 18:45, todo momento que eu faço um reload nesse post eu dou de cara com a foto da Terra dentro do raio de Sol vista de Saturno. Que coisa linda, minúscula, frágil. Quando eu olho isso eu penso, “Temos que fazer e acontecer, crescer, arrebentar. Somos um micro ponto super corajoso que contra tudo e todos decidiu viver. VAMOS ARREBENTAR!

Saturday, 18:45, every time I reload this post I face the picture of the Earth within the sun rays view of Saturn. What beautiful thing, tiny, fragile. When I look at that I think, “We have to do something, to grow to make it. We are a courageous little point who decided to live against everything and everyone. Let's do it!

Sábado, 18:46, “A missão do ser humano é criar uma comunidade global. Todos nós temos que nos engajar nisso. Temos que nos engajar na regra de ouro, válida para todas as religiões: Não faça aos outros o que você não gostaria que fizessem a você. Na china antiga já diziam, “Você precisa se preocupar com TODOS”. Não importa a sua fé ou ausência de fé, reflita sobre a sua experiência de vida, preocupe-se com os outros, é sério, preocupe-se com os outros.” Karen Armstrong

Saturday, 18:46, “The human mission is to build a global community. All of us have to engage in it. We have to engage in the golden rule which applies to all religions: Do not do to others what you would not like to them to do to you. In ancient china they already said, “you must have real concerned for everybody.” No matter there are faith or lack of faith, reflect on your experience of life, worry about the others, it is serious, worry about the other.” Karen Armstrong

Sábado, 18:50, os apresentadores avisam que a diálogo sobre o PangeaDay continua na web, todos os filmes mostrados, e mais 25 outros que quase entraram na lista estão disponíveis na web para todos assistirem e comentarem. O evento está chegando ao final.

Mensagem final: “Faça algo, envolva-se em alguma CAUSA que muda o mundo.

在4月23日之前，安徽省疾病控制方面的专家一直为病因的确诊感到焦虑和担忧。但后来却发现引起此次公共卫生事件暴发的“真凶”，竟然是在40年前就已发现的常见肠道病毒EV71，而且这种病毒引发的“手足口病”在全世界很多国家和地区都已经出现过，就在去年的安徽邻省山东，也出现过近万例的报告，也有死亡病例。

Before April 23rd, the disease control experts in Anhui Province felt the anxiety and concern because of the confirmation of the cause of the disease. But later on they found the original cause of this public health event, which was the epidemic intestinal virus EV71 found 40 years ago, and this virus triggered the “hand, foot and mouth disease” in many countries around the world. Last year, in Shandong, Anhui's neighbouring province, there were nearly 10,000 illness cases reported, including a few deaths.

当外界问责安徽省卫生厅“没有及时向卫生部上报病情”时,“肠道病毒EV71感染不是法定必须上报的传染病”这个最冠冕堂皇的理由就把应该承担的重大责任推得一干二净。而当时的实际情况是，阜阳已经因此死了十多个患儿了。

When the outside accountability comes to Anhui Provincial Health Office, asking for “a timely disease report to the Ministry of Health”, the high-sounding excuse that “intestinal infection EV71 virus is not a statutory infectious diseases that must be reported” has completely passed the buck to others. At that time, in actuality, more than 10 children had died in Fuyang.

事后，更有官员在接受媒体采访时说，“我国每天大约有2万到3万例各种传染病报告，每年大概有600多万个病例报告，每例都通报，不是造成社会不稳定吗？”

After the accident, more than an afterwit official said to the media, “China has about 20,000 to 30,000 cases of various infectious diseases reported daily and more than 6 million reported cases annually. If we report each one of them, won't it inflict social instability?

思想上重视，实践上落后。在中国行政文化中，保一方平安，是官员不得不严重关注的事项，搞不好是要丢乌纱帽的。上级官员也会动辄以“祖国和人民”的利益教育下级官员。然而，这会促使管理者只重视“社会安全事件”，现对忽视”公共卫生”/“自然灾害”；为了尽可能“明晰”负责，遇有危机事件出现时，或者隐而不报，或者上报了事。缺乏超越常规处置应急事项的动力和机制，也极为缺乏预警的技术手段以及技术与管理有效对接的能力。年初的南方大雪，气象部门是事前有所预测的，但却没有将此预测转化为应急管理的一部分。阜阳EV71感染事件之后，人们会再次想到我们政府公共卫生应急管理能力的低下,急需为应急管理制定相应的法律。

Ideological attention, but backward practice. In China's administrative culture, security is the matter officials have to seriously concern about. Otherwise, it may cost their official positions. Higher-level officials will often use “the motherland and the people” to teach the lower level of officials. However, this will only attach importance to managers of “social safety incidents” and ignore the “public health” / “natural disaster”. In order to “clear” responsibility, in the event of crises, they are more likely to hide, not report or just “report up”. Being devoid of the effective system and mechanisms to handle emergency matters, the local government also lack the early warning technology and the technical means to dock with the management capacity. The heavy snow in the South early this year had been forecasted by the meteorological department, but there is no forecast in this part of emergency management.

Blogger Lelelele [zh] says a lot suspicion can be raised from the issues of the mass infection of EV71.

安徽省卫生厅在4月29日的新闻通报中称，省财政安排了1000万元专款用于购置救治设备。但截至5月2日，大多数病童家属还不知道这一规定，也并未享受政策实惠，继续承受着医院高收费之苦。相对于以谎言辟谣，某种程度上还只属于行政良知的范畴，而当地对于专项拨款“去无踪”则显然远远超越了良知的边界，这令人费解！

On April 29th, Anhui Provincial Health Office announced that 10 million RMB has been deployed to buy the treatment apparatus. But until May 2nd, most of the victims' families didn't know this regulation and didn't receive any profit of the policy, still enduring the high price of medicine. Compared with the refuting of the rumors, which is merely, in a sense, a matter about conscience, the “disappearance” of financial deployment is way beyond that. How inconceivable it is!

English blogger FLA_MEDIC thinks there is a lack of effectiveness in China's health and sanitation system.

In 2003, China covered up the fact that they were seeing hundreds of cases of a new type of deadly pneumonia, what became known as SARS, for several months. They have in the past been less than forthcoming about their bird flu cases, and have been slow to send samples to the WHO.

Blogger Yin Minhong even says that PM Wen Jiabao should resign if the government can't successfully control the spread of the disease.

The number of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) cases reported in China this year has risen to 11,905 by Monday, resulting in 26 deaths, according to Xinhua counting of local official figures. Tang Xiaoping, an epidemic expert and deputy head of the health bureau of Guangzhou, said the drastic rise is a result of an order by the Ministry of Health on Friday, which classifies HFMD as a C class epidemic that must be reported to the ministry.

An anonymous author posts a few words saying the spread out of EV71 reflects much broader and inner social problems in China.

It might help to put this epidemic in perspective and look at the history of outbreaks in the past and also at the health condition of children in that part of China. Are these children at higher risk for some reason? Are they susceptible to other infections? What is health care, poverty, economics like in that part of China. The air looks very polluted there.
