Michael Douglas urges gun control

Hollywood actor Michael Douglas has urged young people to use social media to push for arms control, as he launched a United Nations educational booklet on proliferation aimed at school and college students.

The book, Action for Disarmament: 10 Things You Can Do, offers a list of ways grass-roots activists can get involved in arms control efforts, such as organising film screenings and discussion groups, or mounting a campaign via Twitter.

'To the youth here today I just want to tell you you guys you hold an enormous power, the power to make changes and make this world a better place to live,' Douglas told an audience of students on Tuesday.

'Facebook, YouTube... and now Twitter are shaping the news and public opinions and attitudes.

'You can start a Twitter campaign or create a club... I encourage you to spread this message and be the new leaders of change.'

Douglas, 69, said he was keenly aware of the issues surrounding nuclear weapons, noting that his father Kirk Douglas's parents had hailed from the Belarus city of Gomel, affected by the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.

Douglas has been a UN Messenger of Peace since 1998, and regularly campaigns for disarmament.

UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Angela Kane meanwhile told Tuesday's audience that $US4.4 billion ($A4.7 billion) were spent on the military across the world every day.

'The world is overarmed and peace is underfunded,' she said.

"The investment of time in these tasks places a huge burden on IT. Attunity Maestro is built from the ground up to alleviate the IT burden inherent in these processes and empower organizations with a self-service model.

6.0.15 * Fixed bug that prevented switching to default TV-refreshrate 6.0.14 * Option to restore default refreshrate only for TV (live or recorded). 6.0.13 * Improved Audio Mixer Handling. Note: Handling of audio devices relies on remote-controling the audio addon of the system control panel (type "control.exe mmsys.cpl" in "run" to see for yourself). Starting mmsys.cpl, controling it and closing it steals focus for short time, which might lead to flickering. While the Current Device in Media Center might in some cases not be correctly reported, the setting of the audio device should be fine. * Fixed bug in Stream detection using Direct Command Mode (Red Button or Ctrl+Alt+R) when no stream is present * Improved refreshrate tab in "Media Control Configuration" programm. Only 32bit modes are offered as default. Old registry settings are checked against current display driver and to be 32bit modes. 6.0.12.1 (only 32bit) * Fixed silly compiler mistake 6.0.12 * Fixed random crash of RemoteControlHook: it is now properly checking existence of Media Center Process 6.0.11 * restore to default refreshrate re-enabled (on Media Center start and on video stop event) * Vista not supported anymore * Input device detection fixed * Max allowable refreshrate increased to 300Hz 6.0.10 * Registry handling now done by "Media Control Configuration" (not installer)-->each user can use it without Admin rights * Fixed Contextmenue: no more crashes in latest Win7 and Win8 CP * Fixed Contextmenue: each command is now actually handled and not ignored in 80% of the cases (was a threading problem) * Refreshrates are now reliably auto detected and changed accordingly (make sure your display supprts all the refreshrates that are preconfigured in Media Control Configuration, e.g. the 23hz for 23.976 FPS) * Refreshratelist is now stored language independant in Registry-->removes crashes in Media Control Configuration * a number of smaller reliability bugs
