On the day Google announced the release of Google+ business pages, hundreds of media outlets covered the story and drew attention to its importance. While many reporters and bloggers viewed it as a great improvement to Google+’s feature set, some decided to take a more controversial angle, viewing the story through the lens of a facebook rivalry.

2012 - A Window to A New Beginning
There are so many negative posts & articles on the Internet about 2012, such as Comet Elenin, Pole Shift, Niburu, Anthrax Threat, Swine Flu , Project HAARP, Corona Mass Ejections etc. What if 2012 was a window on a new age in consciousness?
Genuine Mayans believe in the change in consciousness that is coming. I went to the Yucatan Peninsula last year & visited many Mayan ruins. I was honored & fortunate enough tohave my own personal native Mayan guideat Ek Balam. He spoke & could read Mayan. He told me that he, & many other Mayan were really annoyed at the way that Hollywood was portraying the Mayan Calendar & 2012. He told methat 2012 was a window to a new level of consciousness.
This is the same thing that Mayan expert, the late Ian Lungold, was saying years ago, before 2012 became such a major topic. He explained that the Mayan step pyramid explained the evolving states of consciousness through the ages. Each step was shorter, reflecting the increasing speed at each step of change. It's all part of the plan of the consciousness/divine.
Time to Make a Difference!
The evil elite in this world are spreading these fears, trying to keep us locked & trapped in this awful & evil reality. Now, all over the world, people are asking questions, & waking up to who they truly are.
It is worth noting that Religion has played a key roll in this control & fear.Christianity has hijacked the true Jesus. According to the Gnostic Apostle St. Thomas, the Divine/God is within all of us. We do not need Bishops or organized religion to mediate with God. It is no wonder that the Council of Nicaea decided to keep this book out of the New Bible. I wonder how many souls would have been saved if this book had been part of the New Bible? What a better world we might now be living in We are all part of the same consciousness, and if we harm another person, are we not harming each other?
Mankind is capable of such beauty & love, yet also of such atrocity. As Buchenwald Concentration Camp survivor Elie Wiesel so eloquently put it"Even in the depths of despair & atrocity there was still humanity"
I hope that we are returning to the Golden Era to which we once belonged in, a state we are meant to be in. It's time to end the endless cycle of wars, & hating people because they have different views, or colour of skin.We should be celebrating our differences, not using them as an excuse to hate.
These differences are contributing to the experience of the whole. I can feel in my heart that this change will happen, & nothing the elite can throw at us will stop this change.
Even findings in Science are confirming this change in consciousness, are true spiritual selves. Quantum Physics says that everything is connected.
Sometimes I feel so frustrated & sad at the vast population's indifference to all the evil that is happening.The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
Its' time for us all to say "enough is enough, no more wars & killing, & controlling what people can say & think.
The Banks caused this economic crisis. This has resulted in people losing their jobs, & in many cases, having their houses re-possessed. To add insult to injury, the banks are re-possessing the houses. BP and other oil companies continue to poison our oceans, & in all probability suppress Free Energy or more affordable & cleaner alternatives.
It's all about control & enslaving us, & creaming off everything for the elite few.
INTENT FOR CHANGE!
I've just joined a global movement catching fire across the globe -- demanding a government that serves the needs of the 99% of us, not the whims of the wealthiest 1%. We can bring the world together in one giant, deafening call for real democracyh9% by clicking this link.
Together we can make a difference!
Media Starting To Take Notice
As this CNN Report says, the Media treated the Wall Street Protests as a joke, but are now having to take the protests seriously. The protests are spreading across many cities in the USA. At last Americans are waking up getting up off their backsides & saying no more!. For too long they have seen their democracy eroded with draconian legislation like the Patriot Bill.
The Arab world has shaken itself from it's shackles, will the American people do the same? As the video asks below, Is this the American Spring? I hope so, if it is, there is hope for us all. It's time to take back our planet & democracy.
I run a UK based Print Agency and have been looking for alternative ways to generate income for the company. This is due to the current economic recession in the UK. Companies are tightening their purse strings and one of the first things they cut back on is marketing. This a bad strategy, I believe that in such economic downturns companies should promote themselves more than ever, in order to stay ahead of the competition. Companies are having less print & are looking for alternative ways to make their goods & services. Businesses now use digital media, such as the Internet, particularly social networking, such as Twitter, & Facebook.
However, there is another medium, that is set to explode & change the way we do business for ever. This is mobile phones & other hand held devices.
This mobile technology is the new technological revolution & is set to be the biggest change in the way in which we do business since the Internet
(& before that, the invention of the Desktop PC).
It is believed that within 4 years more people will be browsing the Internet on mobile devices than on their desktop PC's.
Worldwide there are currently 5.282 Billion people who subscribe to mobile phones. It is clear after studying mobile trends for a while that this
development was something that businesses ignore at their peril. Need convincing? If so, here are more very significant facts:-
1. Twitter is now used by 13 percent of U.S. adults online, up from 8 percent in November, as more older Americans embrace the service.
Among Twitter users who own cell phones, 54 percent have used the mobile devices to access the social-media service, according to a report today by the Pew Research.
2. There are 277 million mobile Web users in China, up 43 million in six months. This amounts to 65.9 percent of total web users in China 420 million, the majority of these also access the Web via PC or laptop, but 11.7 percent of Web users exclusively use mobile to access the Web (this works out about 49 million – or more than the number of people that live in Spain).
3. 90% of the Chinese population aged between 14 & 15 have mobile phones. Out a total population of 1.4 billion that is a potentialy huge audience .
4. The growth in mobile phone usage is growing faster than the usage of Desktop PC's ever did.
5. At the end of 2009 almost 530 million users browsed the mobile Web on their handset. This is forecast to rise to over 1 billion by 2015. IDC (December 2009) estimates there were more than 450 million mobile Internet users worldwide in 2009; this will pass the 1 billion mark by 2013.
6. It is inevitable that mobile access to the Web will overtake PC access at some point (assuming the present expansion of 3G networks and availability of Internet-ready phones continues) is that mobile phone penetration outnumbers fixed Internet users 5:2. In the developed world, only 21 percent of people have Internet access, lowest in Africa at 9.6 percent. The price of fixed broadband in developing countries remains prohibitively expensive. (all figures from the ITU estimates, October 2010)).
I could go on, but it is obvious that mobile marketing is something that businesses must consider. Can your business afford to get left behind on this bandwagon?
Hence I have been looking into a novel way to use this technology. I eventually came up with a service called Talking Product Videos. This service takes still images & clip art of animals, caricatures, & products, & makes them talk on videos for Email, Internet pages, DVD, & more importantly, on mobile phones.
These videos are great for charities. Imagine the power for instance of a Sheltered Dogs Home using a video of a dog asking to be homed, to peoples mobile phones. They are also great for promoting Environmental issues. For example, I have a used talking Seal to promote petition to stop drilling of the Arctic, & a talking Orang Utan to promote a petition against Deforestation. Using Wireless Bluetooth technology they have also been used to send business adverts to potential clients, in shopping malls. This technology sends the mobile video adverts to anyone's mobile phones within a 100 metre radius inside the mall. In addition my videos were sent to journalists mobile phones, to attract them to a big Christian exhibition at Sandown Park in Surrey, UK .
Lastly, I have been asked to provide video ring tones for the Chinese mobile market, by 2 world leading mobile content providers, Vringo, & ZGroup Mobile. Given the fact that 90% of Chinese people aged between 14 & 50 have mobile phones, this is a huge potential.
The one advantage that mobile marketing has over print is that it has global potential. I am able to sell my Talking Product Videos in every country, not just the UK. The world is my oyster.
So please investigate mobile marketing & unlock it's potential.

I have been promoting ethical issues, particularly the dreadful oil spillage in the Gulf of Mexico. BP's blatant disregard for the wild life & inhabitants of the Gulf were a disgrace, not to mention the long term effects it might have for the whole planet. When will corporate greed ever cease?
However, for the last 6 months I have been investigating the HAARP project, which could have repercussions for the whole of mankind, far worse than the Gulf Oil spillage. If used wrongly, it could be the most devastating weapon since the Atomic Bomb. The High-Frequency Active Aural Research Program (HAARP) based in Gokoma Alaska-jointly managed by the US Air Force and the US Navy-is part of a new generation of sophisticated weaponry under the US Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Operated by the Air Force Research Laboratory's Space Vehicles Directorate,
HAARP constitutes a system of powerful antennas capable of creating "controlled local modifications of the ionosphere". Scientist Dr. Nicholas Begich-actively involved in the public campaign against HAARP-describes HAARP as: "A super-powerful radio wave-beaming technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere (upper layer of the atmosphere) by focusing a beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything-living and dead."
Dr. Rosalie Bertell depicts HAARP as "a gigantic heater that can cause major disruption in the ionosphere, creating not just holes, but long incisions in the protective layer that keeps deadly radiation from bombarding the planet." According to Dr. Rosalie Bertell, HAARP is part of a integrated weapons' system, which has potentially devastating environmental consequences: "It is related to fifty years of intensive and increasingly destructive programs to understand and control the upper atmosphere. It would be rash not to associate HAARP with the space laboratory construction which is separately being planned by the United States. HAARP is an integral part of a long history of space research and development of a deliberate military nature. The military implications of combining these projects is alarming. The ability of the HAARP / Spacelab/ rocket combination to deliver very large amount of energy, comparable to a nuclear bomb, anywhere on earth via laser and particle beams, are frightening. The project is likely to be "sold" to the public as a space shield against incoming weapons, or, for the more gullible, a device for repairing the ozone layer. In addition to weather manipulation, HAARP has a number of related uses: "HAARP could contribute to climate change by intensively bombarding the atmosphere with high-frequency rays. Returning low-frequency waves at high intensity could also affect people's brains, and effects on tectonic movements cannot be ruled out. More generally, HAARP has the ability of modifying the World's electro-magnetic field. It is part of an arsenal of "electronic weapons" which US military researchers consider a "gentler and kinder warfare".
Do we really want to have such a technology in the hands of the American military? I think not, just look at the so called non existent weapons of mass destruction in the Iraq War. They will stop at nothing to achieve their end game. I cannot believe that this dreadful project isn't getting more attention, it should be stopped in it's track at the United Nations. It's bad enough polluting our oceans, now were messing about with our weather systems. Enough is enough. Please research HAARP on Google, find out for yourselves, & spread the word. Please pass this post to anyone you know who is concerned with what we are doing to our planet.
In the meantime, here's my video take on it, and a few others to start you off.
