Additionally, former U.N. Assistant Secretary-General Gillian Sorensen spoke of the mission of the United Nations.
Artists for the U.N. recognizes and honors the role of artists within a society as embodied by the philosophy of author Mordechai Richler: "Be an honest witness to your time."
Artists play a unique role in culture:
to be beacons of consciousness, to transcend politics and partisanship, to autonomously hold up a mirror to their time ? the illusions, ideals and ideas.
Global Vision for Peace and Artists for the U.N. will introduce artists to the vast global outreach of the U.N., develop projects in various media to support and promote U.N. initiatives, and invite enrolled artists to participate.
Global Vision for Peace is co-funding and co-sponsoring a film documentary, "Angels of Africa," about a group of children in Uganda orphaned by AIDS who tour America every two years as a musical performing group, raising both money for the orphanage and visibility for the devastating crisis of AIDS, though offering an uplifting message of hope and possibility.
The documentary will complement the U.N.'s coordinated global AIDS outreach.
GVP will be hosting a performance by the children in March when they are on tour in Los Angeles, and GVP has approached the U.N. about unveiling the documentary at the U.N. on World AIDS Day, December 1, 2004..
The Evolution of Golf
Copyright 2006 Rob Daniels
The game of golf began its destiny in time towards becoming popular around the world. In 1744 the rules of Golf were put into writing for the first time ever. At this point in history, the first thirteen laws of golf were drawn up for an annual competition. The first documented record makes references to modern golf. It was during the mid to late 1800's that the game of golf really became world renowned.
It is said that there is no other sport as richly endowed with outstanding characters, incidents and locations as that of golf.
Since most golf equipment was handcrafted it was, therefore, quite expensive and golf was dominated by the wealthy. By the 1850s, newly created private clubs had hired "greenkeepers" to care for their golf courses. While the golf course superintendent profession has changed over time, it is still largely a combination of science and art.
