Queen Rania in The Situation Room-Wolf blitzer show on cnn

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DAbWQcliXEendofvid [starttext] Queen Rania talks to Wolf Blitzer about education and gender Parity in the Middle East # Score one for the Queen! Wolf Blitzer is such a tool, he isn't even aware that every time he throws a "gotcha," accusative, non-squitr at her, she responds with, "we have to get over our ignorance and prejudices." He doesn't even get that each of his presumptions are precisely as bad as the ones he accuses Arabs of, or that she's calling him out on the fact each time. [endtext]

Le Web Qeen Rania of Jordan

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpA1Y9vnkpsendofvid [starttext] Queen Rania speaking on the real-time web for real time change at the Le Web Conference - Paris December 10th, 2009. # Queen Rania looks more and more gorgeous everytime! # queen please NEVER forget people in Gaza. # Queen Rania, is it true that women's rights are not well-protected in Jordan. Here are some stats: Jordanian women are at a distinct legal disadvantage. Marital rape is legal, wife-beating is rampant, and often allowed by law, and honor crimes crimes (domestic violence against women for "immoral behavior") receive minimal sentences. Social security, inheritance, divorce and testimony laws all favor men. Women earn less than men for equal work,   # She is amazing, beautiful and has brains... She is willing to share her knowledge and is modest and passinate about her causes... The best queen ever. [endtext]

Rosie Perez Talks About HIV/AIDS Because..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGMkELSumYMendofvid [starttext] The New York City Council, together with HIV/AIDS organizations across the five boroughs, has launched a YouTube-based HIV/AIDS awareness campaign that began on World AIDS Day, December 1st, 2009. It can be found at http://youtube.com/italkbecause. Why talk about HIV/AIDS to the people in your life? We know that open and honest conversations can prevent new HIV infections and reduce the stigma attached to people living with HIV/AIDS. And because every 9½ minutes an American is infected with HIV, we need to educate ourselves and others about the virus. Join the conversation. Share why you talk about HIV/AIDS to the people in your life and why this is important to you. Visit http://youtube.com/italkbecause to see more videos and to find out how to start the conversation.

World AIDS Day: Are you smarter than a dog?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8TA6hsJUngendofvid [starttext] Started on 1st December 1988, World AIDS Day is about raising money, increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. The World AIDS Day theme for 2009 is 'Universal Access and Human Rights'. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done. According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 33.4 million people living with HIV, including 2.1 million children. During 2008 some 2.7 million people became newly infected with the virus and an estimated 2 million people died from AIDS.1 Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35.2 The vast majority of people with HIV and AIDS live in lower- and middle-income countries. But HIV today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world [endtext]

Bush, Bombs and Bin Laden

Sacrifices, Challenges, & Opportunities

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfbxKkPsT0kendofvid [starttext] The decision to come back home for a break was not a choice I made lightly. It was only in packing up to go home, that I realized how much I had to sacrifice in order to do this project. This video takes a slightly sadder tone to reflect the kind of feelings I had as I landed in Hong Kong on my way back home (this was before the Tour de Nerdfighting). Unless you give me written permission, your donation will NOT be used for personal expenses, equipment, airfare, or anything like that. Since I dont use donations to pay for my living expenses (or to buy the airplane tickets I needed to fly home), I've completely emptied out my life savings doing this project. My parents were dipping into their own savings to help me do this project but with the downturn in the economy, they dont have much savings themselves anymore. The title for the video is a reference to some of the hurdles I had to face during this project....

Fighting Hunger in America

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaPyP2tsmwgendofvid [starttext] Based on your votes on Twitter, and with the support of the YouTube Community, the LA Regional Food Bank has received the funds to acquire and distribute 10,000 pounds of food. That's over 7,900 meals or over 1,900 families helped. "The Uncultured Project" is not a charity. It's the documenting of my journey to help others - one difference at a time. Right now funds for my Operating & Equipment Fund are the most needed as I'm trying to save up for a replacement laptop and camcorder which I hope to take back with me to Bangladesh. With Extra Thanks to Julie Flynn at the LA Food Bank Full Disclosure: Michael Aranda's donation is still pending to the LA Food Bank. All other donations are in the LA Food Bank's possession at time of upload. This note will be removed once all transfers are complete. [endtext]
