Weltfriede - Universal Peace Federation

 Weltfriede - Universal Peace Federation

All works of love are works of peace.
Mother Teresa

Mission statement:

The Universal Peace Federation (UPF) is a global network of individuals and organizations dedicated to building a world of peace in which everyone can live in freedom, harmony, cooperation, and prosperity. Peace is not simply the absence of war or a term that applies only to the relationships among nations. Peace is an essential quality that should characterize all relationships.
UPF advocates renewal of the United Nations, including a proposal that the UN create an interreligious council within its structures. UPF implements its programs through a global network of Ambassadors for Peace.

UPF encourages all religions to dialogue and cooperate for peace based upon the recognition that human dignity derives from a universal divine source that is the basis of harmony and unification and that all people are 'One Family Under God.'

Auf Deutsch:

 

Die Föderation für Weltfrieden ist das österreichische Pendant zur „Universal Peace Federation“ (UPF) früher „Interreligious and International Federation for World Peace“, einer weltweiten, gemeinnützigen Organisation, die der Friedensbildung durch Erziehungsprogramme, Workshops, Konferenzen und Veröffentlichungen gewidmet ist. Diese Friedensföderation wurde am 6. Februar 1999 in Seoul, Korea von Rev. Dr. Sun Myung Moon und seiner Frau gegründet.

UPF ist eine NGO in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

Die Föderation für Weltfrieden wendet sich in ihren Tätigkeiten den Herausforderungen unserer Gesellschaft in einer globalisierten Welt zu:

Die Forschung nach Ursachen des Krieges und Rahmenbedingungen des Friedens:
Die „Föderation für Weltfrieden“ sieht Frieden als einen historischen Prozess, in welchem die großen Persönlichkeiten der menschlichen Geschichte zusammenwirken, die Menschheit zu einem höheren Bewusstsein der Gemeinsamkeiten aller Nationen, Rassen, Kulturen und Religionen hinzuführen. Dieses Bewusstsein soll uns Menschen auch die Fähigkeit zum Verzeihen verleihen, um durch Dialog, Konfliktlösungs-Strategien und Vermittlungstätigkeit die historischen Barrieren des Hasses überwinden zu können.

Ein besonderer Aspekt der „Föderation für Weltfrieden“ ist die Einbeziehung der Repräsentanten der Weltreligionen, welche die Weisheit ihrer Traditionen verkörpern. Dieses Zurückgreifen auf deren Potential soll in seinem Ansatz völlig interreligiös sein. Mit der Errichtung eines „Interreligiösen Friedensrates“ auf nationaler, regionaler und lokaler Ebene können sich Vertreter aller Religionen in den Friedensprozess einbringen.

Die Stärkung und Förderung der Familie als Keimzelle des Friedens.

Die Ernennung zum „Ambassador for Peace“: Die „Föderation für Weltfrieden“ würdigt Menschen, deren Leben aufgrund ihrer Dienste an ihrer Nation, ihrer Gemeinde bzw. ihren Mitmenschen beispielhaft ist, mit dieser Auszeichnung.

UPF entstand aus einem Netzwerk von wissenschaftlich interdisziplinären, interreligiösen und internationalen Institutionen:

Die Interreligious Federation for World Peace veranstaltet seit über 20 Jahren Konferenzen und Bildungsprogramme in aller Welt, um den Frieden zwischen und unter den Religionen durch Begegnungstreffen, durch intensiven Dialog mit weltweit allen religiösen Strömungen und durch interreligiöse Kooperation auf Sachebenen zu verbessern.

Das Summit Council for World Peace, gegründet 1981, ist ein Weltforum für amtierende und ehemalige Staatsoberhäupter, für hochrangige Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens und für politische Entscheidungsträger. Ziel dieses Forums ist die Erörterung globaler Probleme und die Suche nach Lösungen im sozialen, wirtschaftlichen und politischen Bereich.

Zu nennen sind auch das IRFF, eine NGO der Vereinten Nationen, die sich vor allem den Menschen in den armen Ländern zuwendet. Des weiteren das Religious Youth Service, das die Jugend aus verschiedensten religiösen Traditionen durch gemeinsame Reisen und Projekte zu gegenseitiger Akzeptanz, Toleranz und gemeinsamen karitativen Aktivitäten inspiriert.

Mission
UPF is a worldwide, not-for-profit organization and global peace movement consisting of volunteers, activists and leaders from diverse religions, nations, and professional fields joined together to build a worldwide culture of peace rooted in the moral and spiritual transformation of individuals, families, societies, civic institutions, nations and international organizations. UPF’s “new culture of peace” movement has its foundation in the practice of unselfish service which, as it infuses and renews both public and private life, opens the way for harmony, cooperation and the restoration of relationships.
Advancing its global ethic of living for the sake of others, UPF takes a leading role in preventing and resolving conflict, taking us over barriers that often divide, and bringing about harmony and cooperation. In this way, UPF engages the United Nations, its member states, and the world’s religions in developing innovative models of governance that integrate spiritual, political, civic and moral values to solve critical problems.

Statement of Purpose

Building on the work of diverse organizations, UPF was founded to help coordinate a wide range of activities, creating a coalition of organizations and activities that together work to establish peace throughout the world.

Of particular importance to UPF is cooperation with other significant international organizations, especially the United Nations. It is hoped that, by bringing religious leaders and other non-governmental leaders into closer collaboration, not merely as advisors but as partners with the representatives of sovereign nations, the way to peace will be both smoother and swifter. Much wisdom, indeed power, is vested in extra-political institutions, UPF seeks to harness that power and to promote reforms within the United Nations that reflect that vision.

UPF is a worldwide, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of world peace through education programs, workshops, conferences, and publications. UPF seeks to encourage and support the efforts of world leaders from all disciplines and to build coalitions among a wide range of non-governmental, religious, cultural, and educational institutions in advancing solutions to pressing world problems.

Of particular concern to UPF are two serious and growing problems. The first revolves around family instability and breakdown and the serious social, economic, and cultural problems that the family's decline generates. The second concerns the growing ethnic, racial, and religious intolerance in all parts of the world. There is a critical need, in our opinion, for political, religious, and educational institutions to work together more vigorously, not only to reverse the decline in the socially nourishing functions of the family, but also to promote greater understanding and collaboration among diverse ethnic, racial, and religious communities for the common well-being of humanity.

UPF supports the mission of the United Nations in pursuing peace, reconciliation, and human welfare. UPF intends to actively collaborate with the United Nations and other international and regional organizations similarly dedicated to the cause of achieving justice, world peace, and human prosperity.

UPF is a global alliance of individuals and organizations dedicated to building a world of peace in which we live in freedom, harmony, cooperation and co-prosperity for all. UPF is guided by a vision of humanity as one global family of God, living in accordance with universal principles.

http://matthewsconsult.com/csr.html

CSR, die gesellschaftliche Verantwortung von Unternehmen – ist ein Konzept, das Unternehmen eine Grundlage liefert, um auf freiwilliger Basis die Wechselbeziehungen mit Non-Profit-
Anliegen zu integrieren. Es ist ein Unternehmenskonzept, das alle sozialen, ökologischen und ökonomischen Beiträge eines Unternehmens zur freiwilligen Übernahme gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung, die über die Einhaltung gesetzlicher Bestimmungen (Compliance) hinausgehen, beinhaltet. CSR sollte auch keine bloße Werbemaßnahme sein, sondern das Bewusstsein für ein Eingebundensein in eine globale Verantwortung.

MATTHEWS CONSULT ist sich dieser Verantwortung bewusst und versucht, Menschen, die nicht von einem Sicherungssystem profitieren können, zu unterstützen. So engagieren wir uns für die Organisation CHILDREN OF THE MOUNTAIN, die für Kinder in Nepal den Aufbau von Bildungs einrichtungen und eine bessere Gesundheitsversorgung ermöglicht.

CHILDREN OF THE MOUNTAIN ist ein anerkanntes Charityprojekt mit dem Ziel, den Ärmsten zu helfen. Hier ist John Matthews beim Projekt, eine Schule in Nepal zu bauen.

COMMUNICATION PROGRAMM

Der Grundstein von effektiver Kommunikation ist die Erkenntnis, dass jeder Mensch einmalig ist.

Ihre persönliche Performance entscheidet darüber, ob Sie Ihr Gegenüber von Ihren Ideen überzeugen können, ob Sie es schaffen, Ihren Standpunkt und Ihre Ziele durchzusetzen.

LEADERSHIP PROGRAMM
Gute Führung beinhaltet Fairness und Gleichberechtigung, Anerkennung für Erfolg, ebenso wie die Fähigkeit, Verantwortung für Misserfolge zu übernehmen.
Eine globale Wirtschaftskrise kann nur durch effektive und kreative Führung gelöst werden. Nicht jeder Manager ist eine natürliche Führungskraft, aber jeder Mensch hat Stärken und persönliche Fähigkeiten, die er weiterentwickeln kann, um Krisen entgegenzuwirken.
http://matthewsconsult.com/leadership.html

Anglo - Austrian Relations article by John Morris

 

Anglo – Austrian Relations Robust

By Austrian Times Special Correspondent

John Morris

At a time when uncertainties abound in Northern Africa and jitters still resound in the financial sector following the crash in 2008, and debate surrounds the question of Turkish accession to the European Union, I visited British Ambassador to Austria, Simon Smith at his residence in Vienna to discuss the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing Anglo - Austrian relations.

The Best of Opera in Vienna by Oliver Macdonald

 

It is our great pleasure to introduce our new Opera correspondent: Oliver Macdonald.

Oliver Macdonal was posted to Vienna from Dublin in 1999.  He quickly found his way to the Vienna State Opera where he spent four years at the best University of Opera Studies in the world - the queue for Standing Room.

Since then he has attended over 1200 opera performances. Olvier enjoys sharing his passion for this, the supreme form of the Performing Arts with everyone.

Opera articles from Oliver will follow.

Vienna by Phil Hypes

It is our pleasure to introduce Phil Hypes, our correspondent from New Mexico, USA, and his interesting article and photos from Vienna:

"Vienna is an elegant ball in the Hofburg.

Vienna is a 50 kg girl wrestling a bass violin onto a streetcar.

Vienna is hearing five languages at once at the refrshment stand at the opera.

Vienna is a poster for a motorcycle show partially obsuring a special exhibit poster for the Art History Museum.

Vienna is people from every continent waiting to get into a concert at the Malteserkirche. Vienna is a neoclassical building, a 1950s concrete box, and a ruthlessly modern building all on the same block. Vienna is a state library that makes Hogwarts' magical library look like a comic book collection. If I had to sum it up in one word, I'd say Vienna is elegance.

 Photos copyright: Phil Hypes

"I'm an American; I remember living in Germany as a child, and that experience enriched my outlook on life considerably.  So when I got the chance to move to Vienna for a few years, I jumped at the chance.  I wanted my children to experience Europe the way I did.

I honestly didn't know much about Vienna when the opportunity arose to work and live there.  Pretty much the only association I had with the the word was "waltzes," despite having seen the Lippezanners with my grandfather when I was a child living in the midwestern United States.  But I knew where it was in Europe, and had heard fantastic reports about the quality of life, so the idea of moving there didn't require much convincing.  My first visit to Vienna was in a particularly cold November.  The cold did nothing to cool my enthusiasm for the city that was soon to become my home for two years.  The contrast between this Imperial capital and the small desert town I was coming from could hardly have been more marked.  Any randomly selected block in Vienna has more restaurants than my entire county.

And the variety is remarkable; my favorite restaurants in Vienna include Greek (Achilleus), Iranian (Cafe Pars), Chinese (Asia Pavilion - best duck I've ever had outside Beijing) and of course Viennese (Bretzl Gwolb).  I really miss the free refills on drinks that you get in the US, but the quality and variety in Vienna are outstanding.

The museums of Vienna are an inexhaustible resource.  The Kunst Historisches Museum is one of the cultural poles of my personal world.  The Opera House is another.  Both of these institutions helped me to develop an appreciation of fine art that I may never have developed without Vienna.  We lived about a ten or fifteen minute walk from the KHM, and got annual passes.  I used to pop in on occasion just to spend a few minutes contemplating one or two of my favorite paintings.  We made a few attempts at the Opera while living in Vienna, but it never worked out.  On a recent trip back to Vienna, I learned about the standing areas.  I was more than willing to give opera another chance.  For three or four Euros, why not?  I was hooked.  The view was excellent, and the artistry was captivating.  On a recent visit, I went to the opera five times.  Once or twice, it was even on the spur of the moment; "why not go to the opera tonight?"

Having a lifelong interest in history, living in Vienna added considerably to my knowledge of European history.  I toured the palaces and museums, bought books and read them, and visited the various resting places of the Hapsburgs, somewhat surprised to see flowers and Mexican flags by Emperor Maximilian of Mexico.  He once ruled the area I now live in, and he was born in Schonbrunn.  Even having known about his reign, the extent of Hapsburg dominion was brought home, so to speak, when I visited a museum in Albuquerque on my first trip back to New Mexico.  There on one of the suits of armor in the museum was the Hapsburg crest, thousands of miles from Vienna, in the state I'd lived in for years. 

It's fairly common for visitors and tourists to see more of a city or area than residents.  I lived in Kentucky for a few years, and never saw Mammoth Cave or the Corvette factory.  I never found a single distillery on the Burbon trail.  I was determined not to let this happen in Vienna.  I got to know the city well enough that I was asked to put together 'must-see' lists or itineraries when colleagues were entertaining visitors.  It's not easy to plan a short visit in Vienna.

There's too much to choose from; it really depends on your interests.  For history buffs, the list starts with the Herresgeschlichtes Museum (Archduke Ferdinand's car could stake a reasonable claim to being one of the most historically significant objects of the last hundred years), various Roman ruins tucked around the city, and the Hofburg.  Music lovers can add the residences of numerous composers to the obvious spots like the Opera house, and of course there's also the composers' section at the Zentral Friedhof.  Architects will want to see Stephansplatz, the Hundertwasser Haus, and the Ringstrasse buildings like the Rathaus and Burgtheater.  A few of my other favorite spots include the Jesuitenkirche, the Naschmarkt, and the smaller streets all over the first district.  Any visit shorter than two weeks is greviously abbreviated.  Vienna is just that full of sights.  The best thing I can do is suggest a guide book; the Eyewitness guide to Vienna is the best guidebook I've found.

My favorite time of year in Vienna is Christmastime.  I like cold weather, and bundling up for a walk to a Christmas market is a fantastic way to spend an evening.  The lights on the bigger streets are a beautiful backdrop.  And the Christmas markets are a wonderful reward for a good long walk.  The Rathaus and Schonbrunn markets are my favorite for food.  I have a serious sweet tooth, and my favorite pastry is the Brandteigring.  You can get them at the Rathaus market.  Picture a large donut (kruller, if that kind of donut is familiar to you) sliced in half and filled with brandy-flavored whipped cream.  Then its put back together, and white icing is poured on top.  It's probably a good thing that you only get them at Christmastime in Vienna.  The Karlsplatz market is the best I've found for handmade crafts, like turned wooden bowls and one-of-a-kind ceramics.  After a couple of hours in a Christmas market, it's a nice change to find a cozy restaurant and warm up with a bowl of soup or some hot tea.

There are other amazing cities on Earth, of course, and in Europe.  What makes Vienna special is that the benefits of an Imperial Capital, like the Opera and museums and an amazing variety of restaurants, come in a package that doesn't have the endless concrete jungle feel of a huge city like New York or London.  Using your own vehicle or public transportation, you can get out of Vienna and into the countryside in less than an hour.  Try that in London or Tokyo."

Naturely Tenderly

NATURELY TENDERLY e.u

History and Birth of Naturely Tenderly

Moji Odulaja is a Nigerian that started a natural handmade soap company in May 2010. The name of the company Naturely Tenderly expresses succinctly the business ideology which is body-care the healthy way using only plant-based natural ingredients. Thus, Naturely Tenderly soaps are created free of harmful chemicals and additives, and they do not possess animal or petroleum products either and as such they are very gentle on the skin and on the environment.

Naturely Tenderly is licensed and registered in the Austrian Business Register (Firmenbuch) as Naturely Tenderly e.U. The soaps are quality tested and approved for skincare by the Austrian Cosmetic Businesses regulating body (Wirtschaftskammer, Chemische Gewerbe).

Business Focus

Naturely Tenderly soaps are handmade from scratch with utmost care using food grade oils such as Olive oil, Palm oil, Coconut oil and butters such as Cocoa-butter and Shea-butter.  Because the manufacture process is the traditional cold-process method, their soaps are glycerin-rich and retain all the healthful benefits found in the ingredients they are made from for the benefit of the skin.

Naturely Tenderly is an exclusive soap making business because of the wonderful privilege of combining rich African body-care tradition with that of Europe to produce uniquely varied and balanced soaps that deeply nourish and repair skin cells. Africa is famous for presenting the world of body-care with valuable ingredients such as the Karite (Shea) and Cocoa butters; Sandalwood (Camwood); and the Neem. Shea and Cocoa butters are noted for their great healing and moisturizing qualities. The African red sandalwood (Camwood) is used to treat eczema and other skin blemishes, even in babies. It is also a great skin toner. The Neem is a great African remedy for many ailments including skin problems because it is replete with antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial properties.

Naturely Tenderly offers two main groups of soaps – herbal and decorative soaps.

Herbal Soaps: Naturely Tenderly herbal soaps have, naturally, herbs and teas in them which include Aloe-Vera, Calendula petals and Chamomile. The herbs and teas help nourish the skin as well as take care of common skin conditions such as dry scaly skin, itchy skin, eczema or psoriasis, the traditional way. Natural herbs and teas are safer to use on the skin because they possess no harmful side-effects associated with synthetic remedies.

Decorative Soaps: Naturely Tenderly has a wide range of soaps that have been hand-crafted into different attractive designs and colors using the same quality ingredients. The purpose of the decorative soaps is to make bath time fun. The soaps also make attractive gift items. You can get Naturely Tenderly soaps in either essential or fragrance oils and some are made without fragrances to cater for more sensitive skin.

Some Herbal Soaps:

Aloe-Vera/Shea Soap (100g):
This glycerin-rich 100 percent natural soap encourages healthy skin repair. The Aloe-Vera and Shea butter it contains help accelerate tissue repair in damaged skin. Aloe-Vera and Shea butter are also known to contain anti-ageing properties.

Olive-Calendula soap (100g):
This is a no-fragrance-soap ideal for dry skin, a condition which can be aggravated in the winter period. It also does good for all skin types because of its very moisturizing and protective properties. It helps eczema and psoriasis.

The Calendula petals in the soap calms irritated skin while the olive oil and glycerin gently moisturize the skin.

Shea-sandalwood (100g):
This soap is full of skin nourishing and healing properties. There is Honey and sandalwood in the soap and they supply antibacterial and antiseptic properties to the soap. They also soothe the skin. Shea butter and honey help moisturize and heal the skin. Shea butter especially possesses anti-ageing properties. Soap is good for all skin type.

Sandalwood (Camwood) is an African favorite. Camwood is used to make the skin supple, flawless and to fight body odor. It is especially used on babies to keep their skin flawless.
