Poverty Partnership Imaginings - The Prof. Yunus James Chau Interview on CCTV Explores the MDGs (TrendHunter.com)

RockstarThe Prof. Yunus James Chau Interview on CCTV Explores the MDGs

The Prof. Yunus James Chau interview on CCTV, the Chinese National TV, gets the social business leader discussing the progress of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the wake of a changing global climate. Yunus, who was in Zurich, Switzerland for the One Young World Summit 2011, explained that the emphasis on HIV/AIDS poverty, hunger and funding had shifted to an emphasis on terrorism.

“The world got into another kind of war, rather than fighting poverty and the diseases, the fight on terrorism—so that derailed the whole effort to achieve those goals,” says Prof. Yunus.

Indeed, as world attention in the 1990s focused heavily on famine and genocides (for example in Rwanda), the new millennium, instead of bringing renewed hope and vigor, as the Millennium Development Goals attempted to do, world attention shifted to the “War on Terror” and now, the global financial crisis.

A new world older, perhaps? Watch the video to see what Prof. Yunus had to say about social business as marginal, poverty reduction, world interconnectedness and technology.

ProdigyUnibody by Julia Kaldy Explores Footwear That Blends With the Leg

Unibody by Julia Kaldy was created as part of her master’s thesis project. This collection of shoes was made to emphasize the different changes that legs seem to make depending on the shoe. The flesh-colored shoes were designed to merge with the rest of the body and help morph the legs so that they create different shapes. The higher shoes promote the legs to stand up and look thinner, while the flatter shoes manipulate the muscles so that they fall lower.

The Unibody by Julia Kaldy showcases a collection of architecturally interesting designs that push the boundaries of fashion. Kaldy uses the popular design aesthetic of cut-out art. Most of the collection uses this cut-out aesthetic so that the real flesh might show through the shoe and show the unity between the shoe and leg.
