BEING CONSCIOUS OF INEQUALITY – THE 1% & THE 100%’S SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Al Jazeera news reports how inequality could be sorted in a new report.
As the media agency is owned by a Qatar billionaire, that is very funny.
The report claims that “the world’s richest 1% have seen their income increase by 60% in the last two decades. The latest world financial crisis only served to hasten their wealth, rather than hinder inequality.” The process of inequality soared. (more…)
MID-FIRES JULIA GILLARD TACKLES CHILD ABUSE NEXT – A ROYAL COMMISSION MATTER
NSW are on high alert during vacation season 2013. In the interim, Australia’s PM goes into overdrive kickstarting her year off with child abuse in her sights. ”Hideous. Shocking. Vile,” are her opening lines of Gillard’s latest rant.
”I believe our nation needs to have this royal commission.”
Love it. Girlfriend… bring it on. The worst kind of child abuse occurring at the moment is economic child abuse. Where inequality rises, it is a statistical fact abuse towards children rises with it. In times of greed and inequality, children and their families are often left exposed and vulnerable by The State. The abuse of children abused in such conditions, was pre-set for children economically by leaders… so I think a politician in the South Pacific and Asia-Pacific whose people are earning well, (entire)… is more than qualified to go for the jugular on the child abuse issue with integrity.

WHAT CAUSES & CREATES SUPERSTORMS? SCIENTIST KERRY EMANUEL SHARES HIS THEORIES ON IT
[Photo: Bravely flying through the sky in rugged gusty conditions, an NYPD helicopter flies over the remains of a section of Breezy Point, N.Y. that was flooded and damaged by a massive fire during the storm surge. Photo: Benjamin Lowy for Getty & Lightbox Time].
Superstorm Sandy has sadly claimed 39 lives in the USA and Canada. USA news media are very saddened today in most reports. America is grieving. Caught up again in yet another Hurricane Katrina saga in a different region with a larger storm footprint. It is a disturbing trend that will grow in the USA in years ahead. We must all work together to plan for this.
Superstorms are caused and created. How exactly? A few factors do it. The biggest being climate change due to over-consumption of the earth’s resources and their effects on air and the atmosphere. Canada is where the storm is moving to. Let’s see what Canada’s news media has to say.
Guest Commentary – Weather Science – Canada:
MIT’s climate scientist Kerry Emanuel calls Hurricane Sandy a hybrid storm, a rare type that scientists don’t know much about. He says its damaging rainfall is the sort of thing we’ll see more of in the future due to climate change.
Kerry Emanuel: It is correct to say that in no individual [weather] event can you really make an attribution to anything, whether it is climate change or El Nino or your grandmother had her tooth pulled this morning. You just can’t do it for a single event. It is just the nature of the game.
Live blog of Sandy’s aftermath
[A woman observes the Statue of Liberty from Battery Park. A Michael Christopher Brown photo for Time Magazine].
Now, Sandy is an example of what we call a hybrid storm. It works on some of the same principles as the way hurricanes work but it also works on the same principles as winter storms work. Hurricanes and winter storms are powered by completely different energy sources. The hurricane is powered by the evaporation of sea water. Winter storms are powered by horizontal temperature contrasts in the atmosphere. So hybrid storms are able to tap into both energy sources. That’s why they can be so powerful. (more…)

REMEMBERING 1111 N.FAIRFAX LITTLE RUSSIA, HOLLYWOOD
At 1111 N. Fairfax, the Russian Jews make up pharmaceutical potions to heal the body and relieve anxiety.
The air is heavy with smog and a harsh Russian story is etched in smudged lines on their faces still.
It was a look at odds, with sunny California.
"This world needs more light. This world needs light. How to be the light. Be light."
was often my whispered thought, in Little Russia for The World. :)
I took this photo @EleventyOneK of 2 young national American acrobats. Their lives are lived as spectacle on a high level, stage. Both good peoples with great energy for others. Fun.

ROCKIN’ ROBIN – JANET JACKSON, THE JACKSON 5 & FAMILY VISIT THEIR HOMETOWN OF GARY, INDIANA
Janet Jackson and family rocked out to Gary Indiana, to remember what would have been music star Michael Jackson‘s 54th B’day. Living in LA when MJ died was one of the surrealist moments in life. Los Angeles played his music non-stop for a week or more. It was MJ boom box car wars in drive time – where USA’s hits are decided first, nationwide and are boomed out to the world from LA.
On the sides of LA’s most prominent buildings, biz owners projected images of the late King of Pop dancing his dance moves that had changed music entertainment worldwide. Jackson had also invented music awards shows template of entertainers and also music tours technology too. He did so much.
When LA turned on an MJ show across the cityscape, in that moment, you really knew LA had a King. It was spontaneous, no one had orchestrated the show. Yet a city who entertained just knew what to do. Totally surreal. He was for the people and of the people and the people responded back that week.
At the time, MJ’s absence swung to popstar Rihanna‘s rising star. LA clubs interspersed MJ hits with Riri’s and so a foreigner of the USA’s star was sealed in Rihanna’s legacy to LA too who was also following in the footsteps of Janet. It wasn’t acknowledged by all in the USA at the time, however there was no star greater than Michael Jackson in the USA until he died. (more…)

OPRAH’S No.1 RANKING FORBES TOP 100 CELEBRITIES 2012
Two words in celebrity power rankings Oprah + Forbes.
New York Daily News wrote: “A year after retiring as the Queen of Daytime, Oprah Winfrey has continued her reign at the top of the annual Forbes list of highest-earning celebrities.
The 58-year-old Winfrey topped the list – which measures stars’ revenues between May 2011 and May 2012 — for the fourth straight year, despite a $125 million drop in her earnings due to the end of her long-running talk show in May of last year.”

OUR OUTRIGGER CANOES OF SCIENCE, EDUCATION, INNOVATION FOR POLYNESIAN & PASIFIKA YOUTH POPULATIONS OF THE WORLD – NEW ZEALAND SPIRIT RISING & INVESTING IN PI YOUTH
Because science, innovation, education are New Zealand peoples spirit - of our strong outrigger canoe culture of navigatable adventurous and creative discoveries into new horizons of destiny and change too:
In investing R&D capital into our future innovative inventors of sustainability and peace news:
In my mind I see, children all throughout the South Pacific, even up to the Marshall Islands into even the island of Guam, maybe Vietnam too. They each have a laptop and tablet each. On the internet they are taught curriculum subjects from New Zealand.
Their learning is accelerated and a generation of Polynesian (and Asian?) children arise, supported by their New Zealand friends nearby and afar, to allow the potential of Polynesia’s youth to be all they will be, for the gifts in their lives the world will need to be stronger, smarter, more creative – in the years to come. If we all do this for them that’s so going to happen.
This is the burden that sits very strongly on me today. I really want to see our groovy and unique white, Pakeha New Zealanders do it, just to teach the world what cool New Zealand citizens look like as architects of the world – and to push back the powers of greed, on our Island dwelling Polynesian friends.
Although we admire the braun of Polynesian peoples natural dna (Jonah Lomu storms to mind) - it is their Peaceful spirit (most days), their respect for their elderly, their creativity so rich yet largely untapped, their spiritual gifts, the notable and noble warmth of heart, a trusting innocence in the good of the wider world and their unique thoughts that dwell within their minds; that we will need to see more of in the world, twenty years out from this point. We need to invest more in it.
