Project Information Habitat
Project Information Habitat is an evolving design and demonstration of an online habitat for project information, with a set of approximately 200 web pages on projects that have been part of Information Habitat's history. The Project Information Habitat web pages are directly generated from the HABITAT3 DataPerfect relational database that serves as one of the primary digital engines for Information Habitat.
Project Information Habitat will also draw on the body of information that it has accumulated - incorporating the design, and where appropriate, the contents, of a set of databases in Information Habitat's possession - including databases developed by Information Habitat, as well as those it has inherited from its predecessors; archives from the electronic mailing lists managed, moderated and/or subscribed to by Information Habitat; and Information Habitat's digital library of documents.

Digital Engines
The Digital Engine is being developed as a prototype open source relational database engine incorporating informaton ecology principles and protocols, and demonstrating the nature and power of digital - as contrasted with mechanical - engines. The Digital Engine has been created using DataPerfect 2.6F software - a remarkable MS-DOS relational database that can freely downloaded - to be used in conjunction with Firestorm, open source database web-server software that is compatible with DataPerfect. The Digital Engine is being developed as a core element of an information ecology curriculum.

Digital Tree of Life
The Digital Tree of Life was designed as a tribute in the form of an independent digital counterpart to the Tree of Life campaign of EarthSecure and the Counterpart Foundation that has been promoted through global broadcasting of One Child, One Voice as a way for the voices of children to be heard at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa.

September 11 Peace Memorials
Designed, developed and disseminated peace memorials to foster an appreciation of peace, and the vital need to find ways to conduct world trade in peace - not in war - and to remember the power of forgiveness and universal love - to realize that it is not possible to win a war on terrorism; to resolve the challenges of terrorism, we must seek and follow paths of healing and peace based on an appreciation of One Light in All.

Rainbow Cubic Sine Waves
The Rainbow Cubic Sine Waves appear to serve as a bridge between the cycles of light and Colour of the Light and Colour Cubes and the colours of the rainbow. The Rainbow Cubic Sine Waves also represent an experiment in morphing the rectilinear structure of the cubes into softer cyclical and curvilinear forms.

Gaia University
Design and development of knowledge-based curriculum, structure, information architecture and administrative framework - incorporating an extensive network of .net domains - for an Earth-centred, holistic approach to learning and teaching based on the science of Information Ecology and a recognition of One Light in all that exists - symbolized by the Light and Colour Cubes. Conceived as a key element in an evolving collaborative proof of the Gaia Mind / Global Mind hypothesis, Gaia University seeks to restore the essence of the Pythagorean / Hippocratic Oath - "First do no harm" - as a central commitment of education, and to serve as a model for a general framework for a knowledge-based economy and society based on appreciation of the fundamental properties of information, information systems and networks.

Information Ecology Curriculum
Development of framework and outline for an open source curriculum in the elements of information ecology, with the goal of cultivating awareness of the nature and dynamics of information ecosystems and of the evolving information age based on an appreciation of the fundamental properties of information, information systems and networks and an appreciation of the one light in all of creation.

Peace Cubes / Virtual Light and Colour Cubes
Development and dissemination of a proliferating set of images based on developed models of the peace cubes / virtual light and color cubes as embodiments of properties of light and of nature. The existence of the cubes was discovered in response to a request from the outgoing Executive Director of UN-Habitat to explore the use of colour to identify the role of partners in a proposed web site for follow-up to Habitat II.
The Light and Colour Cubes were dedicated as Peace Cubes at an Equinox Earthday celebration next to the Peace Bell at United Nations Headquarters in March 1997 and have emerged as icons of Information Ecology and of a holistic approach - with the dimensions of red, blue and green appearing to correspond to dimensions of economy, society and environment - the three "pillars of sustainability" - as well as to dimensions of body, mind and spirit.

Information Habitat: Where Information Lives
Guides and directs Information Habitat - a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Special Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council - with a focus on promoting the understanding and practice of information ecology as a holistic life science and as a framework to support a global transition to knowledge-based economies, societies and environments. Throughout the global conferences of the 1990s, Information Habitat has been the leading pioneer in the systematic application of information and communications technologies in support of broad-based participation, access to information and networking by NGOs involved in the work of the United Nations, and the development of an information ecology framework that can support a transition to sustainability, human rights, justice and peace, in the context of an integrated follow up to the agreements of the United Nations Conferences of the 1990s and their reconciliation with international trade and investment agreements.

Whitgift School
House Prefect. Advanced Level GCE in Pure Maths, Applied Maths and Physics; Ordinary Level GCE in Mathematics, English, French, Latin, Greek and History.
Whitgift School was founded in 1595 by Archbishop John Whitgift, Archbishop of Canterbury, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge; and Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University, and served as the principal tutor of Francis Bacon. The root of the name Whitgift is "white gift" - a name that has resonated with the appreciation of the peace cubes as "gifts of light."
