• ISD Background

By Stephen Jordan

I had an interesting conversation today with a senior corporate executive. As we wrapped up, she said something that made me realize we really need to clarify that the Institute for Sustainable Development is trying to break through with new concepts that the current frame of talking about community shocks and stresses doesn’t take into account:

   “It’s a shame you focus so much on disasters.”

At ISD, we actually don’t.

Our mission is grounded in the opposite idea: communities shouldn’t have to endure a disaster to get the resources, attention, or leadership they need to become stronger.

What we focus on is community continuity—reducing the harm from future disruptions and strengthening resilience every single day.

Businesses already understand this. They don’t build “Business Emergency Plans.”They build Business Continuity Plans because interruptions cost money, customers, and competitiveness. Continuity is practical. It’s strategic. It’s how organizations stay viable.

Communities deserve the same logic.

Hi guys! I’m calling on some support please. If you have seen the documentary The Need To Grow then you know about the algae based biorefinery by Michael Smith. We need to save the existing prototype in a plan that includes so much more. Details are in my post. What I’m asking for from you is to share this post on LinkedIn to help us reach the right people in time. Please, thank you!

The technology requires power only at start-up to generate the magnetic field, after which cars move without any further energy input. This approach utilizes diamagnetic materials and powerful magnets to achieve levitation, akin to Maglev trains but with significantly lower ongoing energy requirements.

While challenges remain, such as reducing kinetic energy at the surface level and managing vortex damping, this innovation heralds a new era in transportation, potentially making traditional motors and batteries obsolete.

Here are two Good News Posts that reflect the Asian American Pacific Islanders Heritage Month. Our first is with two wonderful Chinese Children who sing, You Raise Me Up, in English, who for me made me cry from this talent and emotion.  Our Next Generations…(click on the words below the picture)

You Raise Me Up

Our other story is Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine recognizing Asian American Pacific Islanders Heritage Month Celebrating Changemakers in the community.

Borough President of Manhattan

Mark Levine and other representatives

“Celebrating Changemakers,”

an Asian American

Pacific Islander Month Event

I am honored to add some Multicultural Background on our company, Milestone Broadcast Corporation, MBC. We were encouraged to start back in 1985, by the largest Chinese Media Company in America, the World Journal, to create a multicultural marketing, media rep and advertising company. I agreed, as my dream was to create Positive TV Programs for the World and by working with the multicultural communities I would have helped them and maybe they would put my TV shows into their country.  MBC initially started to represent all the Asian Media in America, as well as the European, which was my ancestry, and then later on the African, Hispanic/Latino and Middle Eastern America communicates. America the home of ALL, or as termed by Times Square, the Crossroads of the World.  

I learned through that media representation experience by working with the multicultural communities how similar we are, we all laugh, cry, hurt, care and much more… we are brothers and sisters HOMO-SAPIENS, YAY. FORWARD MOTION. ONE WORLD.

Good News Corporation, our nonprofit now focuses our efforts, and we need YOU and everyone you know to:

Osteoporosis is a common disease among postmenopausal women and those who have it may suffer a fracture in their lifetime.4 Yet, the majority of those with osteoporosis do not know they have it. Often referred to as a “silent disease,” there are typically no symptoms of osteoporosis until a fracture occurs.5

Additionally, many postmenopausal women who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis do not fully understand the risks associated with it. A fracture is associated with serious consequences and can be a life altering event – and postmenopausal osteoporosis will get progressively worse if not treated.2,6 Meanwhile, research shows that many women decline treatment that can help reduce the risk of fracture.7

Osteoporosis is a chronic disease affecting 10 million U.S. adults.3,8 It occurs when an individual’s bone mineral density decreases, leading to a reduction in bone strength which can increase the risk of fractures, or broken bones.5 This is especially common in women because hormone changes associated with menopause can lead to a rapid reduction in bone density – putting them at risk for fracture.4

Kristi Tough DeSapri, M.D.— owner of Bone & Body Women’s Health, a midlife women’s health medical practice — will discuss the need for women to understand their risk factors for osteoporosis and find strategies to maintain bone strength and reduce the risk for falls and fractures.

Dr. Tough DeSapri will discuss the risk factors for osteoporosis as well as explain why, after menopause, women should take an osteoporosis diagnosis seriously – and how they can be proactive in reducing their risk of fractures.
