In the wake of a peaceful global revolution evolving in the last weeks from the Occupy Wallstreet movement, the song from John Farnham could get more exposure as it talks exactly about the core topic of the movement. Don't let yourself down because you're not that rich like the 1% who owns the money, your voice (vote) is equal to theirs, We the 99 % are the majority in each country. Together we can unite and lead step by step to the change we want to see in our world!
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear,
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear,
This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
Take your tissues out while watching and listening the story (and John Lennon's song "Imagine" - peace song!) of Emmanuel Kelly a chemical warfare victim who become an orphan together with his brother in Iraq. He presented this song in the Australian Television show "The X-Factor".
Their mother (Moira Kelly) is a gifted person who is actively participating in humanitarian help all over the world since the age of 13. With 20 (in 1984) she worked together with Mother Teresa in Calcutta, India.
Here you can read more about her life and her Children First Foundation
His brother is a gold medal winner in the paralympics swimming competition and world record holder.
Unluckily he got voted off after his second audition :(
If you ever wanted to achieve your goals in your life, for a better future, better relationship, better health and so on, take simply 3 minutes of your time and watch this inspirational video at least once a day.
You might see something amazing happening within a few weeks or even a few days in your life and in the life of your loved ones.
Image via WikipediaAt the moment there is not much knowledge of this "new" virus outside of China as their government is keeping the ball low on this topic.
The highly contagious disease is spreading mainly in China since the Year 2000 but got more and more attention and investigative reports in the last two or three years throughout China.
The most important symptoms of this illness (on the left side is a picture with the symptoms of an acute HIV infection as comparison):
Starts with flu-like symptoms like coughing and fever
Swollen lymph nodes on the neck
sore knees with clicking sounds
pain all over the body
vomit after every meal which leads to a fast weight loss
Additional symptoms (which don't appear in the normal HIV patients):
white tongue "fur"
lack of elasticity in the skin
excessive joint pains
muscle spasms
sensation of skin-crawling
The Group of people who suffer from this sickness calls it "Negative HIV" because all of them tested several times "Negative" on HIV but still have the same/similar symptoms.
The infection seems to be transmitted more easily than AIDS / HIV. It is said that every human fluid can transmit the unknown virus like kissing, spiting or even touching sweat. That's why usually whole families and their relatives suffer from the disease.

GoDaddy is well know for its controversial advertisement videos to promote their web hosting service to the world. Now the CEO of GoDaddy, Mr. Dr. Bob Parsons, made a new move to cause controversy on his personal twitter account on 14th March 2011. Bob Parsons published a video of his holiday trip to Zimbabwe in which he showed how he killed an elephant bull with his riffle (at night), all in the name of helping starving villagers.
Not sure if he knew that PETA is one of GoDaddy's customers but it's not only them who have already turned their back and moved to other registrars or hosting companies.
Image via WikipediaIn the early afternoon of 11th March 2011 the biggest ever recorded earthquake (in the 140 years recording history of Japan and the fifth strongest earthquake worldwide) hit 130 km off the coast of Japan. A sunny spring day turned into one or maybe the worst day for Japan. The magnitude of the earthquake reached 8.9 on the Richter scale and it was even recognizable in Tokyo (400 km away from the epicenter of the earthquake).
The problem hasn't only been the earthquake in the ocean off Japan as a result of this earthquake a tsunami has been built up by the earth movement under water and pushed monster waves with 10 meters height up to 10 kilometer into the coastal area of the city Sendai in Japan. Boats, cars, houses, even two trains have been simply washed away by the massive waves and it's now expected that there might be at least more than 10.000 persons dead.
Until Monday morning more than 530.000 persons lost their homes (more than 80.000 had to leave their homes because of the nuclear emergency and the 20 km area around the nuclear power plant Fukushima). Additionally more than 100.000 persons have to leave their homes since Monday, 14th March 2011 because the security area around Fukushima has been expanded from 10 to 20 km.
Updates are following 2 - 3 times daily - more news reports can be found at the end of the post!
NUCLEAR Power Plants radiation leaking + possible meltdown in more than 2 plants expected, a third plant in Onega has a malfunctioning cooling system! Read a Live Ticker update about the Nuclear Danger after the videos!
Two live streaming channels added (Japanese language but pictures speak more than words!)
More footage of the tsunami which hit Japan in the following video (including burning oil refinery & buildings)
Another big risk that occurred is that around the Pacific coast are many of the nuclear power plants which had to be shut down after the earthquake because the electricity got cut or for security reasons. Some of the emergency electricity supplies didn't work anymore after the earthquake struck Japan.
So there is a high possibility that we might get another Chernobyl disaster in Japan with massive consequences for the environment not only in Japan!
On 12th March 2011 at 7 am (Japanese time) the radioactivity in the control room # 1 in the nuclear plant of Fukushima-Daiichi (250 kilometers away from Tokyo) was already more than 1000 times higher than the normal value after they had to release pressure and radioactive vapour from the nuclear plant (reported by news agency Kyodo).
At 8 am the Japanese Premier Minister Naoto Kan extended the security zone around the nuclear plant Fukushima to a 10 kilometer zone instead (prior 3 kilometer).
At 9 am the second nuclear plant Fukushima 2 which is 12 kilometers away from the first nuclear plant is reporting about problems with its cooling system, too as they are no more functioning!
At 2:47 pm news about radioactivity leaking from the nuke plant emerged. The radiation levels are already 20 times higher than humans are exposed to for each year.
Around 5 pm news about an explosion in the nuke plant Fukushima 1 running on the tickers of the news agencies.
5:15 pm Video of a Japanese news agency is showing damages at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima
5:45 pm News Agency Jiji announced that the roof of the nuclear power plant has collapsed!
13th March 2011
7:00 pm: Japan is asking Russia for delivery of gas as they expect soon a power shortage. Population is asked to use electricity only if necessary. Russia's prime minister accepted the bid and will deliver gas to Japan.
11:00 pm: Nuclear emergency announced for Nuclear plant Onagawa because of higher than usual radiation.
Volcano Shinmoedake releases Ash and stones. The Ash reach nearly 4.000 meters up into the sky. The Volcano Shinmoedake is located 1.000 kilometer far away from the earthquake region.
14th March 2011:
1:15 am: Cooling system in Nuclear Power Plant Tokai stopped working, it is south from Fukushima.
Image by Getty Images via @daylifeOn 3rd of September 2010 i wrote about the earthquake which happened in Christchurch, New Zealand with a magnitude of 7.0 with ZERO dead and just a few injured persons.
Today (on 22nd February 2011) a new major earthquake -or should we say aftershock (as the earth didn't really stop to shake in Christchurch in the last 5 1/2 months) - took place in Christchurch with a magnitude of 6.3. It killed more than 75 persons, 125 persons could be rescued after one day but there seem to be still 100s of person missing and probably stuck under the collapsed buildings in the rubble.
UPDATE 27.02.2010: Death toll will likely top 200 persons!
I guess everyone heard, read or watched already a lot about the recent protests which happened in January in Tunisia and now in Egypt. But not many of the international press and media (and completely to forget about the Egyptian press) are focusing on the women behind the protests. The number of the women are now growing as they see a big chance for themselves to claim more rights and achieving a much better life in freedom.
No matter in which Egyptian city you look (Cairo, Alexandria and many more), wherever there is and has been a protest women are taking part and not only in the background. More and more of them are brave enough to show up in the first row or even in confrontation with the military like the following pictures will show you!
Blessed be the people in Egypt, so that they may receive the freedom for which they are fighting!

These days a video about a cruel and horrific way to teach their puppy dog to stand appeared in the Asian television & newspapers and is spreading like wildfire in Facebook and Twitter.
There's even a hunt going on for the persons who are involved in these cruel poodle puppy abuse. It seems to be a couple from Malaysia as the video was found on a pendrive in KLCC shopping complex (Kuala Lumpur in the Petronas Twin Towers) Their names seems to be Doreen Loo (the girl friend who took the video), (dog abuser) Champ Alan or Allan Tan.
More information about this couple, still pictures of the video and the involved persons + a 5 minute video of the horrific poodle dog abuse can be found on the Ye5-Blog.
