BOYCOTT ISRAELI PRODUCTS CAMPAIGN

Jan 9, 2009

An Appeal to all Citizens of the World

As citizens of our individual countries, we at times become extremely frustrated by the policies of our governments that we deem unjust. We oftentimes feel powerless to change them as more and more of the governments and the politicians who run them become increasingly subservient to global corporate and banking interests. There is, however, one powerful weapon that if utilized collectively can accomplish far greater positive change than marches, protests and demonstrations. The weapon is the boycott of well targeted products. Mexican-American labor leader Cesar Chavez utilized this weapon with great success against the greedy grape growers of Alta California and managed to win many concessions for the exploited farmworkers. The boycott of grapes would not have been successful, however, if the world community did not support it.
Today, as the world community begins to see evidence of the barbaric massacre of Palestinians that took place in Jenin by the Butcher Ariel Sharon and his murderous Zionist Army, one is compelled to just and moral action. Here in Aztlan, we have become extremely frustrated at President George Bush and his inability or unwillingness to stop the horrible slaughter that is occurring in the Holy Land and that may culminate in the genocide of the Palestinian people. We individually have the power of choice to buy one product over another or to simply forgo a purchase entirely. If more and more people around the world do the same, the pressure will become powerful enough to force a positive change. We each can also help by asking our family members and friends to do the same.
Below are products and brands of corporations and businesses that are helping Ariel Sharon and Zionist Israel to continue their racist apartheid policies and illegal occupation of Palestinian lands. We are asking you to boycott these products. The products and brands have been well researched. Each of the companies have ties to Israel and support their policies against the Palestinian people. As an example, Estée Lauder's chairman, Ronald Lauder, served as the Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and is the current President of the Jewish National Fund (JNF) - a quasi-governmental agency whose main function is to legitimize Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. Ronald Lauder is a hardcore Zionist and his views are often more extreme then those of the Israeli government.
Other examples are:
KIMBERLY-CLARK
In 1998 Mr. Robert P. Van der Merwe, chairman of Kimberly-Clark Europe received the Jubilee Award by the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. This is the highest tribute ever awarded by the "State of Israel" in recognition of those individuals and organizations, that through their investments and trade relationships, have done the most to strengthen the Israeli economy.
COCA-COLA
From 1966 onward Coca-Cola has been a staunch supporter of Israel. Recently the Government of Israel Economic Mission honored Coca-Cola at the Israel Trade Award Dinner for its continued support of Israel for the last 30 years and for refusing to abide by the Arab League boycott of Israel.
NESTLE
Swiss food giant Nestle will set up a global research and development center for snack foods next year in Sderot, a town in Israel's Negev desert, the Maariv newspaper reported on Sunday. Nestle owns 50.1 percent of Israeli food maker Osem Investments and the two together produce snack foods at a plant in Sderot.
INTEL
Intel is one of the biggest supporters of Israel. Their very first development center outside the US was opened in Haifa in 1974. Since then they have continued pouring investment in to Israel. By year 2000 they employed over 4000 Israelis. Exports from their Lachish-Qiryat Gat plant in israel total $3 million a day at peak capacity - approximately $ 1 billion a year. The Intel plant at "Qiryat Gat" is built on land Israel confiscated from the Palestinian villages of Iraq al Manshiya. Iraq al Manshiya was a village of 2000 people living in 300 houses with two mosques and one school. The original Palestinian inhabitants were terrorized out of the village and then the whole village was razed to the ground to prepare the way for the new Israeli settlement of Qiryat Gat. Today the remaining population from Iraq al Manshiya is still not allowed to return.
SARA LEE
In 1998, Mr. Lucien Nessim of Sara Lee Personal Products received the Jubilee Award by the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. This is the highest tribute ever awarded by the "State of Israel" in recognition of those individuals and organizations, that through their investments and trade relationships, have done the most to strengthen the Israeli economy
DISNEY
The Disney Company is owned by Jewish Mogul Michael Eisner. He owns a vast media empire that includes the ABC television network, numerous news dailies, national magazines, Hollywood film companies and a large number of radio stations. One radio station in Los Angeles, KABC 790 AM recently broadcast comments by Jewess Gloria Alred to the effect that the Islamic prisoners at Guantanamo should be tortured by having their "balls" extracted with pliers in order to make them talk. The news and commentaries made through Michael Eisner's media octopus are extremely Islamophobic and anti-Palestinian.

ahahha....im so HIGH~~
i love this song...
i don't care anything what u say~~

"Bring It All Back"

Bring it all back now

Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you

Hold on to what you try to be
Your individuality
When the world is on your shoulders
Just smile and let it go
If people try to put you down
Just walk on by don't turn around
You only have to answer to yourself

Don't you know it's true what they say
That life, it ain't easy
But your time's coming around
So don't you stop tryin'

Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you
Dream of falling in love
Anything you've been thinking of
When the world seems to get too tough
Bring it all back to you

Na na na na..

Try not to worry 'bout a thing
Enjoy the good times life can bring
Keep it all inside you
Gotta let the feeling show
Imagination is the key
'Cos you are you're own destiny
You never should be lonely
When time is on your side

Don't you know it's true what they say
Things are sent to try you
But your time's coming around
So don't you stop tryin'

Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you
Dream of falling in love
Anything you've been thinking of
When the world seems to get too tough
Bring it all back to you

Na na na na..

Don't you know it's true what they say
Things happen for a reason
But your time's coming around
So don't you stop tryin'

Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you
Dream of falling in love
Anything you've been thinking of
When the world seems to get too tough
Bring it all back to you

A-Teens

A-Teens - The Story

The clock is ticking. Soon the A*Teens will leave their teen years behind. But that's no problem for the Stockholm-based vocal quartet, who showcase a striking musical maturity on their new MCA album, POP TIL YOU DROP. In its twelve tracks, the album elevates the group to a higher stratum of sophistication, while retaining the same spirit of fun and freedom that made A*Teens one of the world's most popular young bands.

Since their 1998 debut, Marie, Amit, Sara, and Dhani have proven remarkably graceful under pressure. They gladly took on the rigors of stardom, constant travel, and high-stakes deadlines, all with a laugh and a smile. Along the way, they sold millions of records worldwide (including more than 1.5 million albums in the U.S. alone), and toured with the likes of 'N Sync, Britney Spears and Aaron Carter. They bring all that experience to bear on POP TIL YOU DROP, which includes several songs co-written by the group members themselves. "We were much more involved on this one compared to our previous albums," says Amit.

To create POP TIL YOU DROP, the A*Teens turned to top songwriting/production teams in Sweden and beyond, including Grizzly and Tysper (Think Productions); Mark Hammond; Chris Nelson (Maratone Productions); Peter Boström; Tobias Lindell and Peter Björklund (Tremolomusic.com); Red One (The One Productions); and David Eriksen (Murlyn Music AB).

The songs on POP TIL YOU DROP represent a broad mix of maximum-energy pop styles. One outstanding track is the A*Teens' take on "Can't Help Falling In Love," the #1 Elvis smash from 1961. The song is also featured on the soundtrack to the upcoming Disney animated feature "Lilo & Stich." Says Amit, "Our version is very different from what Elvis did, but that's the only way to go, because after all, Elvis is Elvis." Adds Marie, "When we first started out, we were all big Disney fans, and one of our biggest dreams was to have a song in a Disney movie. Well, here we are!"

Songs like "Floorfiller," the horn-heavy "Let Your Heart Do All The Talking," "Closer To Perfection," "This Year," and "Hi and Goodbye" blend upbeat rhythms, scathing synths, and picture-perfect vocal harmonies arranged by the A*Teens themselves. Other tracks, like "Slam," the Latin-flavored "Cross My Heart," "In The Blink of an Eye," and "Singled Out," were co-written by Dhani, Sara, and Marie. All in all, the album was an intense labor of love for the four. "More than ever, we put so much of ourselves in this album," says Sara. "It was really fun making it, and we're extremely happy with the results."

By their own admission, the A*Teens don't easily reach that benchmark. Young as they are, they've always possessed astute musical instincts and a drive for perfection that began early on. They first met as children when they all belonged to a youth dance company in Stockholm. "We used to hang out in our spare time," recalls Sara. By late 1998, once they'd decided to make music together professionally, things came together rapidly.

In May 1999, the A*Teens broke sales records in Sweden with their first single "Mamma Mia," which entered the Swedish charts at #1. After three weeks, it had sold 120,000 copies, becoming the best-selling single in Sweden that year, and remaining #1 for two straight months. Their debut album "The ABBA Generation" shipped in August 1999, also entering the charts at #1. It perched there for five weeks, and went on to triple-platinum sales in Sweden, and more than 3 million copies sold worldwide.

After conquering Scandinavia, the band took on the rest of Europe and the world. In 2000, they earned a European Platinum Award for 1 million sales on the continent. That September they received a Viva Music Award for Best International Newcomer, competing with the likes of Christina Aguilera and blink-182. Much of 2000 was spent touring the U.S.A. with 'N Sync and Britney Spears. By September, their hard work in the States started paying off as "The Abba Generation" passed Gold status on the way to Platinum.

The group followed this with their second album, the Gold-certified "Teen Spirit." Worldwide touring in the wake of its release brought new levels of success for the A*Teens. One highlight came as the band arrived in Thailand as part of their 2001 tour, finding their pictures on cans of Coca-Cola. Remembers Sara, "We were the first international artists ever to appear on a soda can there. They printed 15 million of them; we went home with ten!" By the end of 2001, the four were back in Sweden gearing up for the writing and recording of the new album. But by then, some things had changed.

"We traveled the world for three years," notes Amit. "All the people and cultures we experienced helped us grow in so many ways. We have a real global overview now." Adds Marie, "The biggest difference between now and earlier in our career is that we feel much closer to our families. Being away from them so much is hard. We truly appreciate what we have at home." Equally important, all four have come to strongly rely on each other as friends and colleagues. "We were close before the group," notes Sara, "but now we're like brothers and sisters." Adds Dhani, "Being in a tour bus with the same people every day, you're either gonna love 'em or hate 'em... we happen to love each other."

That's fortunate, since the months ahead will find A*Teens once again traveling the world performing before their countless fans. They will on a US tour that runs through the summer of 2002. Among the other places they hope to visit are Hawaii, Australia, and any tropical locales they can visit. "Hey, we're from Sweden," laughs Dhani. "We want to go surfing!" Still, they harbor even bigger aspirations. The four hope to do large-scale concerts ('a big world tour," exclaims Dhani) plunge deeper into writing and producing, acting, choreography, anything to challenge their artistic impulses.

Mostly, however, they hope to foster the kind of joy and healing only music can bring about. "What artists did here right after 9/11 was amazing," notes Amit. "Music should always have that kind of impact. We hope to make people feel a little better, and help them get through their hard times." It's a tall order, but with POP TIL YOU DROP, the A*Teens are well on their way.

Super Antioxidant

Super Antioxidant What is a super antioxidant? A super antioxidant or antioxidant is a general name for substances including all of the vitamins, polyphenols, carotenoids and minerals that help protect the body from the harmful effects of free radicals. It is called a super antioxidant because of the nature in which it helps prevent disease in humans. Antioxidants accomplish this by reducing the damaging effects of from oxidation of free radicals. What are free radicals? Free radicals originate from oxygen molecules in your body that become electrically charged from natural cellular activity and from outside factors that you’re surrounded by, including radiation from your environment and tobacco smoke as well as many other harmful environmental factors. These free radicals try to steal electrons from molecules in your body like DNA and cells, causing damage as it goes through your body. These dangerous molecules cause a chain reaction of free radicals that damage cells and play a part in the aging process and the development of diseases such as cancer. How do super antioxidants fight dangerous free radicals? Antioxidants help to stop the free radical chain-reaction by giving their electrons to the free radicals, thereby neutralizing them so they are unable to cause more oxidative damage to the cells in your body. How are super antioxidants able to stop this chain-reaction? Super antioxidants end the chain-reaction by giving up their electrons instead of other molecules giving them up. Super antioxidants are able to do this without being negatively affected because they do not become reactive after losing electrons, effectively stopping free radicals from doing any more damage once they have been neutralized. What diseases are associated with free radical damage? Several degenerative diseases are linked with free radical damage, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, cataracts, stroke and cognitive impairment. Aging is also associated with the damage done by free radicals. The nature of super antioxidants makes it possible to reduce the likelihood of occurrence of these diseases. Where are super antioxidants found? Super antioxidants can be obtained easily through safe supplements from NutraYoung as well as through your normal diet. Some of the most well-known antioxidants are: Vitamin A: carrots, broccoli, kale, spinach, pumpkin, liver, sweet potatoes, collard greens, eggs, apricots, mango, dairy and fish Vitamin C: bell peppers, red pepper, parsley, guava, kiwi, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, persimmon, papaya, strawberry, orange, lemon, cauliflower, garlic, grapefruit, raspberry, tangerine, spinach, tomato, grape and pineapple Vitamin E: asparagus, avocado, olives, spinach, nuts, seeds, vegetable oils and fortified cereals Carotenoids: beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, carrots, pumpkins, leafy green vegetables, red fruits, tomatoes, fucoxanthin and seaweed Polyphenols: berries, teas, beer, grapes, olive oil, chocolate, cocoa, coffee, walnuts, peanuts, fruit skins, pomegranates and wine How does this information help me live healthier? Now that you know about free radicals and super antioxidants, you have an extra incentive to eat a well balanced diet full of colorful fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fruits. Eating healthy will not only help your body gain super antioxidants and fight free radicals, but it can also help you lose weight fast.

やまかぜ (Yosemite National Park)

9 月24日～10月24日までの間、やまかぜの「やまちゃん」と「ごうごう」でロッククライミングの聖地、アメリカのヨセミテ国立公園へロッククライミングツアーに行きます。クライマーの登竜門とされるヨセミテの「ノーズ」というルートに挑戦する予定です。現在では、この「ノーズ」というルートは、多くのクライマーが登るポピュラーなルートですが、それでも1000メートルの垂直の壁はなかなかありません。子ども達に何かを伝えるには、指導者自身が感動したり、挑戦し続けることが大切だと考えています。帰国後は11月か12月に報告会をおこうなう予定です。クライマーの方、アウトドア指導者の方はもちろん、一般の方、子ども達にぜひ来て頂きたいと思っています。報告会の日程など詳細はまた、ホームページの方にアップしますので、ぜひ来て下さいね。

これに伴い、上記の期間中は　やまかぜはお休みいたします。メールはチェック出来ると思いますが、返事はお約束できません。けいじばんには、なるべく現地から書き込みをしようと思いますので、ぜひチェックして下さい。

　　報告会の日程決めました！！

11月27日（土）：三田市フラワータウン市民センター　視聴覚室　18：００より　

　　　　　参加費無料
　やまかぜプログラム終了後行ないます！　当日参加大歓迎です！！

　山本　亮一（やまちゃん）

大学時代に、筑波大学野外運動研究室で野外教育を学ぶ。卒業後は長野の野外教育クラブで、自然と人に囲まれながら、実践経験を積む。その後筑波大に戻り、修士号取得。山菜ゲットから、アルパイン、アイスまで、暇さえあれば山で過ごしたい。なかでもクライミング（ボルダー）が一番好き。今年はヨセミテ狙ってます。でもアルプスもええなー。
