A GARDEN OF ANGELS – LAKE TEKAPO SUMMERS & KHALIL GIBRAN POETRY
In the Kiwi dream, The Child asks: What is beauty?
Then The Bard sagely replies:
Beauty is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,
But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.
Beauty is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears.
Beauty is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw,
But rather a garden forever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
. . . But you are life and you are the veil.–Khalil Gibran poetry, Lebanon.
Peace!

NETBALL COACHING ADVICE NEW ZEALAND SILVER FERNS – BE PROCESS DRIVEN, CONSISTENT, PERFORMING WEEK AFTER WEEK & GAME AFTER GAME – WORK IT UP!
Rocking it to netball’s hoop, having pace, position and possession, as one they usually win:
“It’s about being process driven, not getting carried away with the outcome and making sure that we can dot the i’s and cross the t’s and do the basics. Consistency is huge for any team or any sportsperson, to be able to perform week after week or game after game, that’s what we aspire to do, but if you take a step back, it’s about working very hard to make it happen and just keeping it very basic and simple.”
– The Silver Ferns coach advises a strategy to the New Zealand Silver Ferns improved, confident, tenacious and performance-driven netball team, heading into a netball match with the Aussie Diamonds.
Good coaching wisdom to smile more as a team for all Kiwis to hear and learn of. All the best. :)

Christropher Finlayson, Attorney-General for New Zealand was on New Zealand news today. The man who makes politics and law ethics sound like Shakespeare being performed live in New Zealand, appeared on TV to speak of Taranaki’s Port Nicholson.
Mr Finlayson says that the mismanagement of Port Nicholson could lead to new grievances further down the pipe line.

THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING – MANDIBA NELSON MANDELA – 94th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS, SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa’s first democractically elected black President turned 94 yesterday. He is the man who insighted the world to see beyond color and unfair laws that once supported apartheid’s economic flows certain ways.
As a child, his name is significant to me as my Aunty Awa and her sister marched on rugby stadiums with young activists making a point in those days with other New Zealanders of the calibre of fiery activists like Ripeka Evans and filmmakers like Merata Mita (her filmmaking friends) and their many Pakeha New Zealand friends too. They united as one people, to show solidarity towards a cause of a long walk to freedom.
His name as we know, is Mr Nelson Mandela, a man who inspired Maori and Pasifika children in particular in New Zealand and the South Pacific to hold on to an enduring dream just as he had. Although we had advanced and conscientious school teachers at the school I went to (Barbara Stuthridge-Rudolph being one and Eileen Parore and Jewish-Kiwi, sports obsessed Steven Cohen beingothers), our Pakeha friends, saw us in a different light because of this man’s unusual story.
How would I describe him? He is a vessel of brokenness whose life is filled with the fragrance of humane wisdom, deep gratitude in life; more precious than saphire, he is a gem smith’s diamond cut for freedom’s wider purposes in the world, that makes us look at things beyond the price of oil, in a brighter light of justness towards the gift and maximum miracle of healthy change by being more fair.”
In my childhood in Whangarei City, the most economically oppressed city in those years of NZ - the cry for freedom and change from little ‘ole New Zealand was like a resounding declaration that change was upon us. New Zealand sensed this early and mobilized in response. The cry from Aotearoa New Zealand was:
“the whole world is watching.”
My own mom, to be fair – not only supported her whanau (family) protesting for change, she also invited the South African rugby football team home for lunch from The Grand Hotel. They were so thankful to be invited home. Mom wanted to ensure they experienced Maori manaakitanga amidst the Springboks rugby Tour that would change New Zealand in hard-fought ground for the good. These lessons were stepping stones and milestones of New Zealand culture, that our peace must be founded upon strongly. Some of New Zealand’s most important stories have happened against the backdrop of a sporting context’s profile as was the case when we protested apartheid for people like Mandiba Mandela. It is what we do well. In him and peple just like him, we saw our own redemption.
That day, although we were poor and my missionary parents who once had struggled like the people of the South Pacific do in Island paradise Isles like Samoa, Tonga and Fiji – had lived in a State-bought house they paid off, that was originally built for a Maori radio jockey. He abandoned the home last minute when his marriage unexpectedly dissolved and we were lucky to be moved into it. On the day the Springboks team came home, mom cooked curry with rice in the kitchen - just how she’d learned to in Fiji, that day. Her cooking was a big hit.
Mandela’s name and presence was ever-present in the room on this day too with some of South Africa’s best rugby football stars in our humble Northland home. The moment was surreal yet normal too.
Perhaps as a credit to their own statespersonship and humility caught up in the cross-fire, they were relieved to be welcomed into a Maori-Kiwi cross-cultural home to experience a form of real New Zealand life as it really was. No pretense, a real home with a real young family.
Back to the birthday boy. He is also one of the world’s most favorite anti-apartheid activists towards Peace. In one of the two video clips from South Africa, his angel (a messanger) of hope is one of my favorite American Presidents, Mr Bill Clinton. Not perfect, yet the President with the most personality, love of fun and imbued pizazz – the world has always looked to the USA to provide as an entertaining nation working in tandem with our founding ties and high regard of British culture too. Our indigenous people signed an agreement with Queen Victoria many years ago. We are stil working on getting this right 171 years on since the ink dried. A signed deal for equality means that between our indigenous people and The Crown that represents this agreement. Mandiba Mandela’s story, helped bring this agreement more to the forefront of New Zealand cultural life. He, a bright angel of hope all of those years ago.
Although today, I think South Africa could do with gun reform laws (a notion formerly put forward by New Zealand for South Africa years ago by a leading judge and ignored at home by short-sighted arrogant oversights of governance at the time); an idea that would have made South Africa as a nation safer for its citizens today; this man’s birthday is a very special occasion.
The remarkable footage of 12 million students celebrating the birthday of South Africa’s “Mandiba” Nelson Mandela reminds us that inside prisons sits like deep reservoirs – a living resource, more precious than oil, where some of our most remarkable citizens on earth are found. Prisoners: Real people with bright futures needing rehabilitation, restoration and grace. Nelson Mandela’s life story is a living symbol of this fact. So today, I bow to his legacy and early years as a leader and thank him and his family and friends for what they endured as our teachers.
Euronews reported: “”If was not for him, I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t even be smiling again and saying we are one as a rainbow nation,” said Sello Sebogwane.
“When I talk about you (Mandela) I feel like crying. I’m talking about the hero. The man who has spent years in jail for us. You worked for the nation, you helped black people spending 27 years in jail at Robben Island. You did not enjoy your life. God bless you, we still love you and wish you a happy birthday,” added Salome Makgamatho, who was overcome with emotion.”
Grandson Mandla Mandela, said he inspires the idea of “being of greater service (in daily life) and to the nation at large.”
In South Africa: “Mr Clinton, accompanied by his daughter Chelsea, opened a new library for the No-Moscow Primary School in Qunu, ahead of his meeting with Mr Mandela. “When I think about Mandela I always think about someone committed to the future,” Mr Clinton said.
Former President Bill Clinton also said: “He was very pleased the way the people celebrated his birthday with sixty-seven minutes of service.” How sweet… the sound… of South Africa today.
Photos: BBC. Nelson Mandela‘s granddaughter, Ndileka Mandela in a cute Halle Berry reference and nod to Hollywood-Brit, Oscar’s star system said, “he can charm bees out of their beehive.” I think she was referring to Bill Clinton on that one – who does the exact same cheeky thing.

BOOKS, HATS, GOOD WINES BLOGGER – GRAEME BEATTIE – FAVORS FRESH WATER SUPPLIES CONSERVATION OVER WAR’S FURTHERANCE IN THE WORLD
Avid book reader and top Kiwi blogger, Graeme Beatttie, is always reading a good book.
The former leading New Zealand publisher and bookseller (of Penguin and Scholastic books distribution fame), and a favorite book judge in Asia-Pacific for both the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the Montana New Zealand Book Awards is who writers turn to in New Zealand for good book recommends. In fact, Graeme’s taste selections of books he offers readers, create a road paved with good reads, akin to the study of seismic behaviour of structural systems, but just on a literary landscape, within books for readers minds.
Given his discerning eye for winning books, perhaps more than any of us, Beattie knows the importance of a well structured story in books and the joy these books give readers on a universal level, year-after-year.
His astute views about the international English language book scene are much appreciated in New Zealand – a nation of buttery chardonnay drinkers and book snobs.
A mixed-model media reader (in a good way), blogs that Mr Beattie follows and recommends include: collage of life, distractions, fifi verses the world, o audacious book, overkill, peterwellsblog, stoatspring, tales of a literary nobody, the sound of butterflies, transpress nz, trendy but casual, what? me? blog? and of course, world of the written word. Now that’s a list of websites to read, you couldn’t possibly regret.
[At the time of writing, the no.1 book on The NY Times Best Sellers list is this one].
Graeme also appreciates the fact that solving the world’s fresh water situation, should be more of a priority than feeding a war focus in the world. Many wars are caused because people fear they will run out of water. (more…)
THE BEST TRAINING CHAMPION – ANITA FINNEGAN’S PASSION FOR GROWING EDUCATED WINNERS OF PACIFIC ISLAND YOUTH – IS EPIC!
“There is no one like her,” educationalist Rachel Skudder says of her pioneering and entrepreneurial Greek-Kiwi mother, Anita Finnegan today.
The Best Training Champion is an advocate of Pasifika and Polynesian youth rising up, getting educated and going for gold in their dreams.
Always a fan of Anita’s work; her abilities, perceptive insights, her amazing children and her unique wisdom are a hallmark of this special lady. Finnegan’s ability to impart life skills that go the distance in the high altitudes across a young person’s dream, is only offset by her sparkling wit, shared wisely from a ferocious Irish intellect she shields with measured fun.
You just gotta watch this clip! Anita is a woman whose story could rival USA’s Oprah in the beginner’s years of struggle when Anita started out in education and business. Her life has been a roller coaster yet here Finnegan stands today. In fact, the two women should meet.
They’d revolutionize Africa or New York’s education system… in a day of brainstorming! Anita Finnegan is Epic! I have always loved Anita and her fun family. Smart fun! They make us proud to be Kiwis of the South Pacific.

SHARON HAWKE LOOKS WELL WITH SMILES OF THE UNTOLD STORY
[Video footage - news reel coverage - Bastion Point archives]
I got to see Sharon Hawke yesterday.
The wahine toa, who wielded camera eyed
childhood memories of dictator led
police brutality and racist exclusion
from our peoples struggles at Orakei.
Ngati Whatua endured land and asset
confiscations and endured homelessness
after police razed their homes to the ground.
A mother of her Iwi of Ngati Whatua,
Sharon, looks well. Peaceful, wise, strong.
I have always admired her family’s ability
to discern the times.
Mauri Ora – New Zealand.

JAMES CAMERON IS FUNNY TODAY – TALKS HIGHER FRAME RATES PER SECOND NEEDED FOR FILM INDUSTRY
Hollywood’s no.1 box office heavyweight, Mr James Cameron makes me smile today.
As guest commentary I’m going to run with The Hollywood Reporter’s full report on his appearance at CinemaCon 2011. As I never wrote this story, you might want to read it here at it’s original source, to be fair to this website’s hits rate.
As Hollywood’s reigning King of The Box Office in America, here’s what James had to say in a story penned with good humor too, by Carolyn Giardina: “Higher frame rates offer “the potential to improve showmanship,” the director tells attendees at ChinemaCon.
LAS VEGAS — Calling the current use of frame rates in digital cinema “inadequate,” James Cameron urged the industry to consider shooting and projecting movies at rates higher than the standard 24 frames-per-second in a demonstration he presented Thursday at Cinemacon.
HUMAN HACKERS, SOCIAL ENGINEERING – THE BOOK REVIEW BY BEN BROTHKE
Recently a friend sent me a link to the book review by Ben Brothke on the much talked about book in Hollywood, Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking, penned by Christopher Hadnagy and published by Wiley.
Hollywood is divided into two tribes of filmmakers. There’s those that unpicked social engineering by offering views of living different than what we may perceive to be good living. Avatar‘s green planet conservation film text over destroying the earth in war, was one such powerful moment. Or, on the other hand, Hollywood too can be involved in filmmaking to program people with texts of new trends (sometimes propanda – all cinemas do this to varying degrees with view points offered) embedded in films to help social engineering people along the lines of new orders of power, or, prescribing the ‘new norms’ of social behavior.
For these two reasons, I’ll give you some snippets of Ben’s review on the topic of social engineering (people hackers) as a courtesy to the friend who shared the link. Here we go.
A person’s brain (or mind) can be hacked like a computer. Christopher Hadnagy describes social engineering as being like a science of manipulation of humans. He writes ‘tools are an important aspect of social engineering, but they do not make the social engineer. A tool alone is useless; but the knowledge of how to leverage and utilize that tool is invaluable.’
Studies on how people have been hacked reveal two important books before Hadnagy’s. These Kevin Mitnick’s The Art of Deception: Controlling the Human Element of Security and The Art of Intrusion: The Real Stories Behind the Exploits of Hackers, Intruders and Deceivers.
Hadnagy advances the social engineering (observational science of the process) by detailing how attacks take place. He writes, the social engineer needs to use a formal context for the attack.
Information gathering is the game. (We saw this in wikileaks for example with a global scandal in foreign affairs ‘secrets’ being spilled to other nations). Brothke writes ‘Social engineering is often misportrayed as the art of asking a question or two and then gaining root access. In chapter 3 on elicitation, the author details the reality of the requirements on how to carefully and cautiously elicit information from the target. Elicitation is not something for the social engineer alone, even the US Department of Homeland Security has a pamphlet (Pdf) that is used to assist agents with elicitation.
HOW KIRK DOUGLAS HELPED TO BREAK BLACKLIST
ABC’S David Muir zooms viewers in to celebrate the life of Kirk Douglas, as a Hollywood light who stood against censorship in a culture where politics was too heavy-handed and blacklist occurred from government. A friend and mentor named Robert, who is 91 and lives in Beverly Hills, once got black-listed because he worked as a journalist who would socialize with black people in Los Angeles when reporting.
He was Jewish, yet he could pass for Parsee. Robert was associated to Lena Horne‘s circle of friends, when Lena was black-listed as a communist. He was blacklisted too. They were crazy times. Robert is still a registered member of Pen America to this day, an organisation that is a global literary community dedicated to protecting free expression and celebrating literature in humane ways.
David Muir’s story goes: “In the 1950s Hollywood was consumed by the blacklist. Writers, producers and actors were called before Congress amid fear they might be Communists. The mere mention of a name was enough to end a career.
“It was the worst time in Hollywood,” Hollywood veteran Kirk Douglas told ABC News. “Everybody told me I was crazy.”
Crazy because as a producer of Spartacus Douglas put his own career on the line, his own fortune, to hire Dalton Trumbo, one of those writers on the blacklist.
“If you do it … you’ll never work in this town again. You will be declared a Communist,” Cleo Trumbo, Dalton’s wife said people told Douglas.
But Douglas, hired Dalton Trumbo anyway, and Spartacus became the top movie of the USA that year. The movie wasn’t only a box-office winner, it was also instrumental in breaking the blacklist.”
Douglas realized that within the face of Dalton Trumbo’s faceless story was his own story, that “there by the grace of God, go I.” He acted on that basis with integrity in liberty, in one pivotal action of inclusion that went beyond surface appearances of the milieu-of-the-day, thus changing history. With confidence in peace Douglas disciplined a system that had become drunk on power, elitist exclusion for personal gain and was blind to the image of itself, while being clearly unjust towards humanity. Kirk Douglas hacked the system of inequality and greed backed unjustly by a state system’s might.
The tyranny of the blacklist was broken. He was an agent of redemption, the only true firm foundation of real grace. Freedom returned, the marginalized advanced and Kirk Douglas included others more honestly with his spirit of wise compassion and fearless courage to love others as he wanted to be treated himself. He demonstrated: “there by the Grace of God, go us.”
