Although graphene the new super material in the works is pitted to be the new silicon, ashton kutcher, 34, is known in hollywood for his entrepreneurial silicon ventures in i.t and the guy who was the first social media megastar of the USA when twitter launched.

SASHIMI JUNGLE FRIDAY NIGHT
Roaring in to the cold basement concrete womb of his Hong Kong home, David parked his bike between the secured tanks of the apartment-complex's ika farm. Waving his thumb across the tank's sensor, masterfully with net he scooped dinner into a fish pack on the way to the elevator. A sashimi friday night it was.* (more…)

OTHER WORLDLY – THE SEALED FRAGRANCE LINES
“Other Worldly: the sealed fragrance range,” is an idea buzzing through the brain.
It’s nice to have a creative brain. Sometimes…
with my Iwi entrepreneur cap on then: the no.1 issue though is: do you distill the range from Lake Vostok’s ice shelf H20, sealed off from light or air for at least 14 million years, or do you create the line sourced of H2O from elsewhere? (more…)
FINE CH’I WATERS – THE ART OF REHYDRATING THE WORLD
Once upon a time, a Dutchman named Adriaan Went added mineral water + stavia (sugar free sweetener). He titled it Ch’i. The brand has been in biz for donkeys years now. Today, Ch’i is sold in the Netherlands, Australia and Pacific Islands, and the company is currently having a go at the British market.
Why not try the US market? Talk to Whole Foods. Their competition, the niche franchise stores Trader Joes has NZ bevvies already on their shelves. Dutch people can be so amazing in New Zealand. They make the most of the resource. No permit problems either.
If you live outside of New Zealand you will know water is an art like good wine is: Michael Macha explains:
“Fine Waters introduces readers to the epicurean delights of water, sharing the ins and outs of the characteristics that provide various waters with their unique flavors, (more…)

ANONNA CHERIMOLA SMOOTHIES & CREAMY ICE CREAM ANGELS CREATE & DRINK
Smoothies. Here’s a few ideas. Always use fresh fruit in season. If in winter, try frozen fruit. The more fibre… the more good a smoothie is.
Best smoothies where I live in New Zealand, are smoothies made from “breadfruit icecream.” Tonga could rock that gig. You can also try cherimoya icecream. That is take the flesh of cherimoya fruit. Blend it, then freeze (no dairy). It tastes like the natural fruit version of a creme caramel. Delicious. In winter make smoothies from it. Out of this world. (more…)

MILLIONAIRE WORKING MOTHERS CLUB – BEYONCE LEADS THE PACK 2013 PRIME TIME TV
Today I am on a Beyonce buzz kick. That tends to conjur up links asap to The Millionaire Working Mothers Club kick.
I try and be supportive of the ladies. It’s chivalrous to be that way. An old school Kiwi trait. (Here’s a post on that vibe).
Working Mother No.1 – Beyonce: Rolling Stone Magazine (I just cant’ get enough)… On ”we want to get that [community music vibe] back.
“In a new interview with GQ, Beyoncé revealed that she has been working with Justin Timberlake, Pharrell, Timbaland and The-Dream on her upcoming record.
“We all started in the Nineties,” Beyoncé said of herself and her collaborators, “when R&B was the most important genre, and we all kind of want that back: the feeling that music gave us.” Bey went on to add that the follow-up to her 2011 effort, 4, has myriad influences: Prince, D’Angelo, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross and 1960s doo-wop artists.
Beyonce has landed no.1 top billing in the Prime Time American TV show of 2013. Woot! Read more: Roll St.
Working Mother No.2: If Beyonce doesn’t float your boat then there’s always Kate Middleton‘s latest portrait too. Everyone’s quite excited the ex-hockey loving Kate will be joining the working mothers club too of England. A big step for Kate.

“PACKAGING MENTALITY” – THE WAY TO INCREASE EXPORTS & EXPAND ECONOMY
An economy is a country’s piggy bank. It does well when more is put into it, than taken out of it.
A way this happens is when export products are increased from a country. That means products that involve packaging and freight going out of New Zealand (for example) that earn more for New Zealand, add to the economy.
If we are to expand NZ’s economy, then we need to get more creative. We must create sustainable product, that is packaged, shipped away and the revenues earned saved and reinvested into new export areas for New Zealand.
Thefore a “packaging mentality” in a healthy way, can be good. Smart engines (for cars) with rare earth components, would be a cool NZ idea to think of making and packaging and exporting. Eventually.
–NZ’s wealthiest man Graeme Hart (one of them) makes a lot of money from being invested in packaging. He’s a billionaire. There’s money in a packaging mentality for exporting of sustainable NZ products.

ICEHOUSE BUSINESS SET UPS – ANGEL INVESTMENT PROGRAMS FOR BUDDING ENTREPRENEUR TYPES
I missed the craze of Andy Hamilton as a designated biz figure, entrepreneurial aspirers could pay attention to in NZ.
So… here’s a bit of research into what Andy does, how, for whom and why he does what he does.
1. Hamilton’s company is called Icehouse.
2. In Icehouse, Andy seeks to offer business incubation, training, start up programmes, and angel investment to help ideas people get on the board in business.
3. In theory, Andy and his team seek to be alchemists or coaches to potential alchemists. They claim to add the right components into an aspiring entrepreneurs mix and turn good ideas into gold.
4. Andy has been working at it for ten years now. (more…)

SPORTS SYMBOLS – PRODUCING CHAMPION IMAGES 2012 & ENTREPRENEURS FUNDING SOCIAL JUSTICE CHAMPIONS ARE NEW HEROES IN 2013
we ran all night through the long rain, to supply what the people needed now and in the future.
–the brain of the entrepreneurial social justice champion thinker at work.
In sports circles: a halcyon 12 months… highlights of victory… a win in Australia… breakthrough triumphs in an Australian club competition… glittering and long-sought prizes… from strength to strength… new talent emerged as a phenomenon… most successful… enjoyable… world cup-winning teams… ultimate triumph… absolutely no let-up in standard or intensity… comfortably won… went undefeated… sharp reminders of the dangers of complacency, fatigue and occasional frailty… excellence… spoke volumes… to meet the high level of expectation that will accompany… unveiled a new star… achieved and celebrated manner was astounding… at the highest level… confirmed… all the sweeter… orchestrated test success… no discernible reason… ability and integrity… those running the game.

THE CELEBRITY REHAB – HEALTH REALIGNMENT INDUSTRY – BILLIONAIRE’S HQ THINKING

BIOSCIENCE DRUGS INDUSTRY IN NEW ZEALAND IS SET TO BOOM 2013 ONWARDS
Science End of Year Commentary 2012: Science [in New Zealand], especially bioscience, is at a crucial point in its evolution, writes Paul Tan.
Kiwi bioscience companies secured millions in international investment and grabbed the global spotlight this year. Is granting taxpayer dollars to science and technology companies that end up doing most of their business overseas, or being acquired by an overseas company, wise?
The most globally awarded bioscience company in NZ is LanzaTech. Sean Simpson is one of a few scientists at work in the company. The clean energy and renewable chemicals technology company, [majoring in ethanol production at steel mills that churn through iron sands in their daily output] is considered in the top echelon. The company employs 85 pax.
Other companies Paul lists as being scalable are:
•Living Cell Technologies (Auckland) joint-venture with Japan’s Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory to co-develop for the neurology industry. A deal is inked at $34 million, tentatively. (more…)
