How hard times can lead to new beginnings if you let them. I want to tell you the story from my life. Have you ever wanted to be somebody? When you have been treated like a nobody your whole life you yearn for it. Here is my story. Where The Story Begins Hurt people, hurt people and that is exactly what my mother did to me. She always made me feel small and insignificant. She has always been a very angry, negative women and it transferred to me. She always hated my father and not a day has gone by when she hasn’t told me so. He is a simpleton and I resent him for never protecting me from her. I have a sister. She is harsh but she means well. I wanted to be a singer. My mother told me she would help me be anything but she would never help me be that. This started a life where I just didn’t fit it no matter what I did. As a young child I was left devastated by three men. My uncle who I worshiped abandoned me by leaving Australia and returning back to Greece for a better life. A school teacher during my early years emotionally tortured me. My father neglected me because he was too busy protecting himself by avoiding my mother and rarely being home. No-one protected me. My relationship with men would never recover. My depression began then and it was dark. When I was 15 I attempted suicide by taking an overdose of prescription medication. Working Through The Pain Even though there is a lot of darkness I have always been a positive person. A little candle burning bright within. It would get blown out many times yet I always relit it. I always wanted to be my own boss to feel important, to be someone. So I started business after business but my mother’s brutal, cutting remarks about anything I did left me devastated and my very low self-esteem would weigh me down and I failed every single time. Just as the early rockets of SpaceX crashed and burned so did I. As Elon Musk would go back and inspect the burning carcasses to see how he could improve I would never look back. I would just carry the shame forward and it built. Over the years I have seen over 20 counsellors, psychologists and psychiatrists to help me cope. Some helped, some didn’t. I ran away from home when I was 36 and moved to Perth. It was the best time of my life until I found myself literally standing at a crossroads. A railway crossroads. I met up with a man at a local pub I had been chatting with on a dating app. I came to see what he looked like. He came with one thing in mind. We had drinks then walked outside. I remember standing there staring over the tracks towards home. I just wanted to go home. He bullied me into going home with him. I was so disappointed that I didn’t protect myself that night that I have never been with a man since. He was the straw that broke the camel’s back. That was over 10 years ago. I always wanted children, a family of my own. At 47 I still yearn for it. My goals have always been the same, run my own business, buy a home of my own put a studio in it to make music and raise my family. Then just when I thought I was out they pull me back in. I returned back to Melbourne to look after my parents. Both of them got cancer then my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Allowing A New Beginning I hadn’t looked after myself in years and one day I saw a copy of Vogue that had a free Kylie Jenner Lip Kit which included a lipstick and matching lip liner in a box. I decided to treat myself. I loved the kit so much that one turned into thirty! Within the kits though there is nothing to connect the lipstick to the matching lip liner once you discard the box. It was getting annoying trying the find the right pencil for the matching lipstick. I started using rubber bands, but they snap. The solution? Lippy Links. A product that connects the lipstick with the matching lip liner that doesn’t snap and is so pretty. I sold my car to fund Lippy Links which has taken me over three years to bring to life and is at its final stages. I am so proud of myself that I invented this and I didn’t give up and now I want to share it with you. So why am I writing this? I have been doing a business course that said a brand must live and breathe on its own. We must infuse humanity into our businesses if we want to create a relationship with a customer. Charlotte Beers says “a brand is created when a company EARNS the right to have a relationship with their customer.” Well this is me putting my humanity into my brand and earning the right to have a relationship with you. I want you to know the person behind this brand good or bad. The story isn’t pretty but the product is. How You Can Help So now I would like to ask you to do two things. The first is to follow me on Twitter @lippylinks so you can follow along on my journey as I would love the support and encouragement. On Twitter is also where you will see the first pictures of Lippy Links. I haven’t show anyone yet because I don’t want the design stolen as it isn’t ready. But once I approve the design you will be the first to see it and hopefully soon! Secondly I am creating a waitlist and would love it if you signed up now to show support and also so you don’t miss out when I launch as you will be in the front of the queue. You will be one of the first people in the world to be given the option to proudly own Lippy Links. The first initial order is going to be small so you will need to get in quick as restock may take a while. I know this may seem crazy because you haven’t even seen Lippy Links YET, but I’m all for innovation and new ways or wrong ways! All you have to do is email me at [email protected] and put VIP in the subject line and I will let you know when it’s time. So what do you think? Will you stay with me through these next steps and then decide if Lippy Links is for you or someone you know? Let’s go on a journey together. I just finished a biography about Elon Musk, hence the reference above. I wish I could have seen my first business through instead of giving up but I understand why. I wish I had his mental strength and perseverance, that is where I have been lacking but I understand why. This time I am going to see it through. If you know Elon tell him I said hi.

Die Green Games Community, Greening Deserts und Trillion Trees Initiative zeigen Solidarität mit der Ukraine und unterstützen den laufenden Friedensprozess. Mehr dazu hier und auf den sozialen Seiten. Europas und weltweit erstes Vertical-Farming-Startup für bedrohte oder gefährdete Baumarten sowie wichtige Nutzpflanzen entwickelt weitere Konzepte zum ressourcenschonenden Artenschutz, Klima- und Umweltschutz. Botanische Gärten, Nationalparks und Naturschutzgebiete sind eingeladen, sich dem Greening Deserts Artenschutzprogramm CES-RPP, Greening Campund der Trillion Trees Initiative sowie den damit verbundenen Projekten anzuschließen. Das Sofortprogramm und die Projekte zur Rettung von Arten, zur Wiederherstellung der biologischen Vielfalt und der Ökosysteme benötigen internationale Unterstützung. Das Ziel ist es, bis zum Jahr 2025 über 300 Baumarten vor dem Aussterben zu bewahren, z. B. durch professionelle Baumzucht, Saatgutlagerung, Verteilung und gemeinsame Baumpflanzaktionen. Einige internationale Artenschutz-, Klimaschutz-, Natur- und Umweltschutzorganisationen haben bereits ihr Interesse angemeldet. Wir freuen uns auf neue Partner in der Zukunft, um gemeinsam eine der größten Aufgaben und Herausforderungen des Jahrzehnts zu meistern. Die Reduzierung des Artensterbens durch die Minderung der Ursachen und die Förderung der globalen Biodiversität steht dabei im Vordergrund – auch in urbanen Regionen und Städten! Mit dem Urban Greening Camp wurde das Urban Greening Network für gesündere und grünere Städte ins Leben gerufen – viele sind dem guten Beispiel gefolgt. Artikel Download Das Artensterben, der Klimawandel und die Umweltzerstörung durch Monokulturen, Forst- und Landwirtschaft sind immer deutlicher zu sehen. Dürren und Hitzewellen haben viele Auswirkungen und Ursachen deutlich sichtbar gemacht. Die Probleme mit alten schlechten Gewohnheiten und Systemen wie der übermäßigen Abholzung, Trockenlegung, Umweltverschmutzung und die Zerstörung durch Landwirtschaft bzw. Monokulturen in Regenwäldern oder ähnlichen Ökosystemen mit reicher biologischer Vielfalt und Kulturen sind komplex. Dabei können Lösungen sehr einfach sein – wie in diesen und weiteren Artikeln erklärt. Neue Technologien, Produkte oder Dienstleistungen sind nicht immer erforderlich, können aber natürlich nachhaltige Entwicklungen beschleunigen und / oder verbessern. Greening Deserts hat im Laufe der Jahre gute Lösungen für viele dieser Weltprobleme vorgestellt – wie z.B. wirklich effektive Entwicklungen und nachhaltige Lösungen um die Abholzung durch Monokulturen zu stoppen. Diverse Konzepte für Wüstenbegrünungen, Baumpflanzaktionen, Stadtbegrünung, vertikale Landwirtschaft und innovative Projektentwicklungen wie das Greenhouse Ship zeigen große Möglichkeiten und Potenziale auf, wie man die Erhaltung der biologischen Vielfalt, die Wiederherstellung von Ökosystemen, produktive Ökolandwirtschaft und Ökoforstwirtschaft miteinander verbinden kann. Hier einige Ideen, methodisches und nachhaltiges Denken am Beispiel der Palmölproblematik:
Da es unrealistisch ist, den Bedarf an Palmöl in den nächsten Jahren in großem Umfang zu reduzieren und Palmöl-Boykotte oder Sanktionen problematisch sein können, besonders um die Hauptprobleme bzw. Ursachen zu lösen, wurden viele gute Lösungen ausgearbeitet. Die Punkte sind keine fest beschlossenen oder festen Vorsätze, sondern Vorschläge und können natürlich ergänzt und verbessert werden. Es sind ein paar Auszüge aus dem Konzeptpapier für das Palmwald-Projekt Palmforest.org. Die Welt braucht nicht wirklich mehr Lebensmittelproduktion, sondern eine bessere gemeinsame Nutzung, Verteilung und Konservierung von Lebensmitteln durch Kühlung, Trocknung, Pulverisierung und Verarbeitung von Lebensmittelabfällen rund um dem Ablaufdatum – zum Beispiel mit neuen Infrastrukturen, Logistik und Startups für Lebensmittel – auch lokale oder regionale Konservierungsanlagen bzw. -schränke in allen Filialen im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel! Aktuelle Foodsharing-Lösungen sind schon recht gut, es fehlen jedoch ganzheitliche Lösungen welche die globalen Lieferketten, Logistik bzw. Transportsysteme in Verbindung mit Konservierung von Lebensmittelabfällen und Verschwendung von Lebensmitteln bei Ablauf lösen. Die Probleme bzw. Lösungen fangen schon bei den Ursachen wie der Überproduktion und Umweltzerstörung durch die Landwirtschaft an. Siehe etwa Monokulturen und Viehwirtschaft bzw. Massentierhaltung sowie die maßlose Verschwendung von Lebensmitteln in Supermärkten, anstatt diese zu konservieren, zu lagern und an Bedürftige zu verteilen bzw. auszugeben. Ein Vorschlag wäre Kühlungs- und Tocknungsautomaten für verderbliche Ware wie Fisch, Fleisch, Gemüse und Obst um diese vor Ablauf lange haltbar zu machen. Dazu gibt es alte bewährte Methoden wie die Pulverisierung, Kekse und Chips – es gibt ja auch schon Gemüsechips, wieso also nicht aus Lebensmittelabfällen. Der Einzelhandel selber, neue Startups und Jobs könnten durch diese Innovation der direkten Konservierung von „Lebensmittelabfällen“, kurz vor oder nach dem Ablaufdatum, profitieren. Die jeweiligen Länder bzw. EU und UN könnten dies sogar fördern und entsprechend regulieren! Es wird wirklich Zeit die globale Hungersnot von über 800 Millionen Menschen und hunderten Millionen Kindern durch bessere Konservierungs- und Verteilungssysteme zu reduzieren – besonders da die Welt Nahrung für weit über 10 Milliarden Menschen produziert! Der suggerierte Mangel an Nahrungsmitteln ist scheinheilig und eine große Lüge. Weltweit gibt es genug Energie, Nahrung und Wasser für alle. Die künstliche Begrenzung, Kommerzialisierung und Verwehrung dieser Ressourcen in gewissen Ländern oder Regionen hat System und verstößt gegen ethische, moralische und humanitäre Prinzipien, Regeln und Gesetze – etwa gegen die internationalen Kinder- und Menschenrechte. Es ist eine Schande, dass die ach so fortschrittliche Zivilisation die weltweite Hungerproblematik nicht besser bewältigt. Klima- und Umweltschutz, Natur- und Artenschutz sind auch in der Klimakrise wichtige Themen. Die vom Menschen verursachten Auswirkungen des Klimawandels wie Wüstenbildung, globale Erwärmung und andere extreme Wetterereignisse können durch ein ausgeglicheneres Klima- und Wettersystem reduziert werden. Die Gletscher, Eisschilde und reflektierenden Schneeschichten spielen dabei eine wichtige Rolle, ebenso wie große Graslandschaften, Feuchtgebiete und natürlich die globalen Wälder. Alle Bäume und Wälder in städtischen Gebieten sind auch wichtig, so wie die Begrünung von Küsten und der Schutz der Meere. Die Greening Deserts und die Trillion Trees Initiative, Aktionen, Kampagnen und Projekte bewegten viele Nationen, Organisationen und Menschen dazu, Millionen oder sogar Milliarden von Bäumen zu pflanzen. Einige Länder sind dem Rat gefolgt und haben angekündigt, in den nächsten Jahren eine oder sogar mehrere Milliarden Bäume zu pflanzen. Es gibt Nachweise für die Ratschläge und Empfehlungen, welche an verschiedene Botschafter, Minister, Institutionen und Organisationen geschickt wurden. In einigen Fällen kann man gut sehen, dass nach der Kontaktierung und Mitteilungen direkte Maßnahmen ergriffen wurden. Bei einigen Initiativen und Projekten gibt es sogar prominente Nachahmer. Weitere wichtige Aussagen, Fakten und Meinungen zum Thema Klimakrise, Natur und Umweltschutz Der Einfluss des Menschen auf Klima-, Umwelt-, Natur- und Wettersysteme ist erheblich. Die übermäßige Störung, Zerstörung und Verschmutzung der natürlichen Umweltsysteme und Lebensformen hat die Welt zu dem gemacht, was sie heute ist! Bestimmte Industrien, Institutionen, Organisationen, Menschen und andere Verantwortliche, die Ökosysteme und wichtige Teile der Umwelt zerstört und den Planeten verschmutzt haben, sind auch für das Aussterben unzähliger Arten und die Zerstörung der Biosphäre mit verantwortlich. Sie haben nicht nur eine instabile Atmosphäre, sondern auch mehr Giftstoffe, Treibhausgase und Wasserdampf verursacht. Die Menschen sollten sich dieser wahren Fakten, logischen Argumente und der Realität bewusst sein und sich mehr darum kümmern, daraus lernen und vieles besser machen. Es ist nie zu spät, die Welt gemeinsam als Menschheit nachhaltig zu verändern und zu verbessern. Negative Handlungen und Auswirkungen können von den Nationen gemeinsam verhindert bzw. reduziert werden. Zerstörer und Verschmutzer werden somit gehindert oder sogar gestoppt weitere Verschmutzung und Umweltzerstörung zu verursachen. Jene sollten natürlich von sich selber aus die Gesetze, Richtlinien und globalen Entwicklungsziele einhalten. Die Anpassung an den Klimawandel, die Verringerung des Katastrophenrisikos, Bildung, Resilienz und das Verständnis für die wahren Ursachen und Umstände sollten Priorität haben – so wie die regelmäßige Überarbeitung und Aktualisierung der globalen Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung (SDG). Weitere Meinungen und Aussagen: Zum allgemeinen Verständnis, viele Change Games und Greening Deserts Projekte sind ökologische, pädagogische, wissenschaftliche, soziale und wirklich nachhaltige Entwicklungen. Die meisten davon wurden vom Gründer in seiner Freizeit entwickelt. Viele sind oder waren nicht kommerzielle und private Projekte. Die Greening Deserts und die Trillion Trees Initiative sind immer noch private Initiativen und können jederzeit in Organisationen oder Startups umgewandelt werden. Viele Naturschützer, Umweltschützer, Klima- und Naturaktivisten wollen Arten schützen, einige sogar die wirklich wichtigen und gefährdeten Arten. Das ist lobenswert und es könnte noch viel mehr von diesen Aktivisten geben. Aber viel wichtiger ist es, die wirklich kritisch bedrohten Arten zu retten und gleichzeitig zu schützen! Noch immer versteht kaum jemand, wie wichtig die Artenrettung und wie unwichtig der Artenschutz unwichtiger Arten ist – zumindest im Vergleich und in Relation zum rasanten Artensterben der wirklich bedrohten oder stark gefährdeten Arten. Jeder Gärtner ist ein Artenschützer. Was nützt es der Biosphäre, der Natur und dem Menschen, wenn wir die wenigen Arten retten, von denen wir täglich hören – etwa Elefant, Tiger, Panda und Co.. Auf der anderen Seite sterben täglich unzählige, viel wichtigere Arten aus, darunter viele Schlüsselarten, von denen viele andere Arten abhängen. Leider mangelt es auch an Bewusstsein und Verständnis für die Biosphäre in Bezug auf die Biomasse und die Vielfalt der Arten. Alle Lebensformen in organische Böden, Grasländern, Feuchtgebieten und globale Wäldern sowie Gewässern, die sogar erheblich das Klima und die Wettersysteme regulieren, sind der Hauptbestandteil der Biosphäre! Will der Mensch das Artensterben wirklich verhindern, muss er gesunde Ökosysteme erhalten und wichtige Lebensräume und Landschaften wiederherstellten, besonders Feuchtgebiete und echte Wälder. Damit kann sich die Atmosphäre, Biosphäre und die gesamte Natur besser erholen, natürlich regenerieren und selbst regulieren. Der Zusammenhang zwischen Artenrettung, Artenschutz, Klimaschutz, Umweltschutz und Biodiversität, Biosphäre und Ökosystemleistungen wird oft nicht genau gesehen. Bis heute ist vielen Menschen nicht klar, dass Klimaschutz auch Artenschutz ist und damit wesentlich zum Erhalt der Biosphäre beiträgt – denn diese besteht nun mal aus den Arten, also der Biomasse. Einer der besten Wege, Arten zu schützen und zu retten, ist der Erhalt der wichtigen Lebensräume dieser Arten und die Wiederherstellung von Ökosystemen durch Begrünung, Aufforstung und Artenschutz-Camps oder ähnliche Projekte auf globaler Ebene. Der Gründer und Initiator von Greening Deserts hat diese wichtigen Themen in mehreren Artikeln erläutert und innovative Lösungen mit globalen Initiativen oder internationalen Projekten wie der Trillion Trees Initiative angeboten. Ein weiterer wichtiger Punkt ist das fehlende Thema der Katastrophenvorsorge (Disaster Risk Reduction, DRR) auf so vielen Ebenen. Ein Beispiel dafür ist der Schutz vor Überschwemmungen durch naturbasierte Lösungen. Es ist logisch, dass z.B. nach Dürrejahren trockene und wasserabweisende Böden Erosionen und Überschwemmungen noch extremer machen. Ein weiteres Problem sind die fehlenden Bäume und Feuchtgebiete, die zerstört wurden. Das Problem in Deutschland ist und war die fehlende Katastrophenvorsorge und das Katastrophenmanagement bei extremen Wetterereignissen wie Dürren und Überschwemmungen, DRR sollte ein weltweit etabliertes System sein. Auch der städtische Hochwasserschutz durch zusätzliche Wasserreservoirs, Wasserwege und unterirdische Reservoirs kann helfen diese Risiken zu verringern – ähnlich wie das Konzept von Schwammstädten. Ein weiteres Problem ist der Mangel an Bäumen und Feuchtgebieten, die vor allem durch extreme Entwässerung für die Landwirtschaft und Tagebaue zerstört wurden. Viele wichtige Ökosysteme wie Feuchtgebiete wurden dadurch zerstört, darunter Feuchtwälder, Moore, Sümpfe und Überschwemmungsgebiete. Fakten und wissenschaftliche Ratschläge zum Schutz vor Bodendegradation, Erosion und zur Verhinderung von Überschwemmungen durch Katastrophenvorsorge, naturnahe Lösungen und nachhaltiges Wassermanagement findet man auf den Projektseiten von Greening Deserts. Viele Menschen aus der Klimabewegung, in Regierungen und sogar Teile der Industrie haben die Artikel und Projekte von Greening Deserts verfolgt und sich von ihnen inspirieren lassen – insbesondere von den Artikeln, Masterarbeiten und Projekten. Zum Thema Bodenverbesserung und der globalen Begrünung wurden viele Erfahrungen gesammelt und es wurde sich mit vielen Experten über sinnvolle Aktionen ausgetauscht. Seit 2017 empfiehlt Greening Deserts die Wüstenbegrünung mit Hanf, Wüstenbambus und Disteln, welche den Boden bis in große Tiefen lockern sowie den Boden insgesamt verbessern. Geeignete Bodendecker oder besondere Gräser schützen zudem neue Baumpflanzungen vor dem austrocknen. Gründüngungspflanzen wie spezielle Ackerbohnen und Hanf können schnell humusreiche Oberböden aufbauen. Das funktioniert sogar in Trockengebieten und Ödland! Mehr dazu in Greening Deserts Artikeln „Hanf-Toilettenpapier kann Abholzung, Klimawandel und Erderwärmung verringern“ und „Hanfanbau im Tagebau zur nachhaltigen Bodenverbesserung und ökologischer Landbau mit Hanf“. Klima-, Natur- und Umweltschutz ist auch Artenschutz. Alles Leiden wird durch Unwissenheit verursacht. Menschen fügen anderen Schmerz zu, wenn sie selbstsüchtig nach ihrem eigenen Glück oder ihrer eigenen Befriedigung streben. Die Liebe und das Mitgefühl sind die Grundlagen für den Weltfrieden – auf allen Ebenen. Der Weg, die Meinung anderer zu ändern, ist mit Zuneigung und nicht mit Wut. Frieden bedeutet nicht, keine Konflikte zu haben. Unterschiede werden immer da sein. Frieden bedeutet, diese Differenzen mit friedlichen Mitteln zu lösen. durch Dialog, Bildung, Wissen; und auf humane Weise. – Dalai Lama Wer Unrecht schweigend hinnimmt, macht sich mitschuldig. – Mahatma Gandhi Europäer, Ukrainer, Russen, Vereinte Nationen, alle Menschen und Menschheit vereint euch für #Friedensaktionen #Solidarität #StopKrieg #Russland #StopWar #Ukraine Die Menschheit braucht nicht zum Wüstenplaneten Mars zu reisen, wenn die Wüstenbildung (Desertifikation) im derzeitigen Tempo weitergeht, werden wir in 100 Jahren einen Wüstenplaneten Erde haben! Die menschliche Ignoranz wird uns und alle Lebensformen auf dem Planeten Erde töten. Der einzige Weg, dieses Dilemma zu verhindern, ist mehr Bewusstsein, Bildung, Umweltbewusstsein, Respekt und Toleranz oder sogar Verständnis. Die Projekte von Greening Deserts haben viele Millionen Menschen inspiriert und bewegt, etwas für ihre Umwelt und andere zu tun, die grünere und gesündere Lebensräume brauchen. Greening Camps können Abholzung, Bodendegradation, Wüstenbildung und globale Erwärmung durch globale Begrünung, Erhaltung sowie Förderung der biologischen Vielfalt, Wiederherstellung von Ökosystemen und ökologische Wiederaufforstung verringern!

Berichten über diese wichtigen Themen seit Jahren und haben schon so oft Lösungen angeboten. Wann handeln die Menschen und Nationen endlich richtig. #globalcooling #globalgreening #peaceprocess #urbangreening Mehr Nationen müssen die Kriegsdeeskalation diplomatisch, logisch, vernünftig, humanitär und friedensfördernd lösen – nicht mit mehr Aggressionen, Sanktionen und Waffengewalt welches den betroffenen Völkern noch mehr schadet und lange schaden wird! Vernünftige und strategische Kommunikation zur #Friedensbildung #Menschlichkeit #Friedensschaffung #Friedensprozess #Solidarität #StopWar #RussiaUkrainePeace #UkraineRussiaPeace ist die Lösung! #Friedensrede #Friedenssprache Internationale Frauen-Organisationen setzt euch mehr gemeinsam für die Friedenskonsolidierung in Europa, der Ukraine und Russland ein.

Wir Menschen und die Naturkräfte rufen zum Friedensaufbau auf! Ein friedliches Ende des Krieges ist diesen Monat möglich. #Frieden #FriedensMonat #Friedensprozess #Friedensrede #Friedenssprache Die Parteien und Führer einiger europäischer Länder verstehen den Ernst der Lage und die kommenden Folgen nicht, ebenso wie viele Nachrichtenmedien. Vor allem die Notfallprävention, die psychische Gesundheit #MentalHealth und die Katastrophenvorsorge #DRR sollten jetzt jeden Tag mehr gefördert werden – auf allen Ebenen und vor allem in den Medien, Nachrichten und Talkshows! Meinungen und Statements des Gründers der Greening Deserts Trillion Trees Initiative zur aktuellen Lage: Seit Februar rufen wir in den sozialen Medien zu mehr wichtigen Gesundheitsthemen (besonders die mentale Gesundheit), mehr Friedenssprach(n), Friedensrede(n) und Solidarität auf – besonders in Mainstreams und sozialen Medien. Man sieht leider, dass unzählige Aktionen und Demonstrationen nicht viel zur Erhaltung oder Wiederherstellung des Friedens beigetragen haben – es fehlen wichtige Aspekte und das Bewusstsein für gewisse Hintergründe und Ursachen. Die Lage verschlimmert sich immer mehr, da durch viele der problematischen Faktoren und Multiplikationen, etwa durch unnötige Provokationen und Sanktionen die Eskalationsspirale durch viele Mitverantwortliche angetrieben wurde. Die Mitschuld und Verantwortung der Medien spielt eine entscheidende Rolle. Leider ist in der Hinsicht bis dato 15-03-2022 nicht viel passiert. Dies kann man alleine an den Hashtags wie #UkraineRussiaWar und vielen ähnlichen problematischen Eskalationen, Sanktionen oder Kriegstreiber-Aktionen in diversen Medien sehen. Gewisse Medien, Leute und Parteien bzw. Politiker haben die Lage sogar noch zusätzlich eskaliert und verschlechtert – also wie man sagt Öl ins Feuer gegossen. Sie haben keine Weitsicht und Rücksicht auf die Völker der Welt und Menschen welche unter den besagten Aktionen und Sanktionen erheblich leiden oder sogar sterben werden – und vielleicht sogar schon gestorben sind! Dieser tödliche Boomerang-Effekt wird wie bei der Corona(virus) oder COVID-19-Pandemie maßgeblich unterschätzt! Es ist mal wieder die typische Symptombekämpfung anstatt Ursachenlösung und Krisenprävention durch vernünftige Deeskalations-Diplomatie bzw. Sprache, Disaster- und Konflikt- Risikominimierung, vorausschauendes Handeln sowie Weitsichtigkeit in so vielen essentiellen Bereichen – besonders im ethischen, humanitären und sozialen Bereich. Wir brauchen mehr Friedenssprache und weniger Kriegsrede bzw. Verbreitung des Krieges im digitalen bzw. medialen Raum! Durch viele der überstürzten Aktionen, Provokationen und Eskalationen sind sicherlich viele Menschen erkrankt und zusätzlich gestorben! Außerdem hat sich das Risiko eines Weltkrieges enorm erhöht. Wenn der Weltkrieg und damit der Atomkrieg ausbricht, wird dies wohl der letzte sein! Dazu eine kleine Anmerkung zu einigen übertriebenen Maßnahmen. Wer seine Karten bzw. gewisse Sanktionen schon am Anfang und so schnell ausspielt braucht sich nicht wundern, dass sie auf lange Zeit nicht viel Wirkung zeigen. Es gibt viele Chancen und Wege zum Frieden. Aber wenn die Dinge durch so viel menschliche Egoismen und Ignoranz, Provokationen und Eskalationen eskalieren, kann es einen Punkt geben, an dem es kein Zurück mehr gibt. Vernunft, Deeskalationsdiplomatie, Neutralität, ehrliche Kompromisse und Entschuldigungen für die Fehler auf allen Seiten können die Konflikte wirklich nachhaltig lösen! Kontinuierliche Aktionen zum Aufbau von Verständnis und Vertrauen können die Friedensentwicklungen sowie Friedensverhandlungen zusätzlich beschleunigen und verbessern.

Ideal for looking for a service that is more secure than others and protects information and data or documents sent via email. Email security is considered a major concern for companies and individuals because you cannot guarantee that readers of the emails you send will not forward messages or messages, or that the email messages you send will not be used for unintended purposes. If security is not considered the most important feature, it can lead to high risks of data loss, identity theft or reputation damage, and even personal injury. Therefore, it is necessary to find the best and most secure email service. Before signing an agreement with an email security service provider, the first and most important step is to properly examine and investigate the various security factors offered. It is also necessary to evaluate the level of security required by your mail service provider. For example, if your company or you don't deal much with customer information or sensitive cases, it's easy to leave a major email security provider. It is easy to check the security level of your email service provider by determining the security level required for your email programming. Provides easy secure email services that typically feature spam filtering and control, encryption services, option to choose IMAP instead of pop-up download protocols, help detect phishing, use https instead of http encoding, scan attachments or downloaded files for viruses and other Various services. It is believed that email messages will be more secure if the encryption process of the email service provider is very sophisticated. The use of insecure email security services is not recommended. There are various email security service providers with features including protection from forged emails, protection from thieves and hackers, protection from content analysis, and encryption of emails to prevent eavesdropping. There are other service providers that also use military-grade encryption to protect data. There are some secure email service providers out there that use the most secure email servers, but choosing the most trustworthy email security provider is crucial as several others don't offer security at all. It can also be seen that if a person uses email such as AOL, Hotmail or Yahoo to send sensitive or secure data or important files, it is necessary to adopt these strategies and sign up with the most trusted email security service provider. It is also wise to use secure email address email security software tools to increase the level of email security and use highly secure passwords and give more encryption software.

Haskins, Mural Conservator A recent project manager inquired, wanting to protect and preserve a new mural, located in Los Angeles CA and called to consult with me, Scott M. Haskins, Art (Mural) Conservator who is contracted with the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs as their mural restoration expert. The mural was painted in acrylic paint medium directly onto the side of a building, the wall measured 30’ high x 90’ wide, was at ground level in kind of an alleyway, exposed to direct sun for a couple of hours a day. Part of the mural is accessible by the public off the street at all times of the day or night. Graffiti protection was the main motivation for the inquiry. I recommended the product, made specifically for mural protection, a 2 part Aliphatic PolyUrethane resin which has been tested and analyzed by Caltrans and the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) for the protection and maintenance of outdoor murals over the last 20 years. For reasons of quality of product and quality of customer service, I recommend the product by RainGuard and designated as VandlGuard IsoFree Aliphatic Urethane 2K. Once the two parts are mixed, Rainguard says you have a pot life of 3-4 hours to apply the product before it begins to coagulate (it starts to look like cottage cheese and is unusable). But I’ve found that actually, in practical terms, you have about 1 ½ hrs for the application of the product until the mixture begins to harden. The surface will be dry enough for recoating after 4 – 8 hours. Coalescence cure time is 3-7 days. This mural’s existence over the decades can be attributed to the protective varnish layers. The product data page affirms; “UV resistant, strong graffiti protection. Will not yellow. Direct-to-metal and concrete applications. Chemical and acid resistant. Water based, it contains Zero VOC, no carcinogens, no odor and can be applied on exterior surfaces and interior OEM environments. Warranty up to 10 years with a single coat, and up to 15 years with a second coat.” For more about the product and use from the manufacturer, click here. This article presents a practical example of use by an experienced mural conservation expert. There are many conditions and circumstances that will vary and will require a variety of different applications of the product in order to adequately protect a mural and to maintain it more easily in the future. The manufacturer states that one application of the product is enough for adequate protection. But my experience is that this is an over-simplification. Most large murals have areas out of reach of vandals and may be adequately protected with one application of protection. But the areas of a mural that are within reach by taggers and more at risk (maybe only 1/3 of the mural?) will require at least 2 applications and I recommend 4 applications if the mural is in a “war zone.” Gorgeous murals overcome, but well protected, by the varnish layers Keep in mind also that there are many different kinds of spray paint, some of which are harder to re-dissolve and remove than others (which will ultimately be destructive to the mural’s paint layers). The removal of graffiti is complicated by how many layers have accumulated on the surface, one over the other. If you suspect that the mural will not be maintained and cleaned immediately when tagged, then more protection is needed in order to make the mural more resistant to the cleaning agents in the future. The thickness of the paint application on the mural (thicker is better like on Judy Bacca’s mural in the photo above) and the texture of the wall (smoother is better) both make future cleaning more or less difficult and more or less successful. Consider that when varnishing a mural painted with acrylic paint, the varnish becomes part of the mural, making its removal very difficult or impossible without redissolving the mural’s paint layers. So, applying the varnish or protection layer in a manner to make it as resistant as possible during future cleaning is imperative to the future health of the mural. This layers of paint with no protection are susceptible to the elements quickly. Details to consider when forecasting the costs and time required:
Notes On An Application In the case mentioned at the beginning of this article, the entire (30’ x 90’) mural would receive 1 substantial coating, spray applied. In addition, the lower 10’ area of the 30’ x 30’ area of mural outside the gated area would receive 3 additional coats (same application technique), which is considered more at risk of being tagged. The application of the water base anti-graffiti protection layers appears slightly milky when freshly applied and a single application goes clear quickly (15 -30 minutes) but remains sticky until dry. Wait a few hours for a reapplication. This, of course, depends on whether it is a sunny dry day or a humid cool day. See the manufacturers suggestions for proper conditions. We have applied it in very humid weather, even in light sprinkling rain and we had no problems with application of the resin eventually going/drying clear. Wall texture will make a big difference in application time. Spraying will avoid a lot of texture problems on a rough wall (that can slow you down) vs. a paint roller technique but there are other drawbacks I’ve already discussed. Using a paint roller with the lowest nap may be great on a smooth wall but its not practical on the wall in the photo. Paint brush application would require many increased hours of labor plus continual attention to drips and the dilemma of the pot life. The more textured the wall is, the more product you will consume and the longer it will take to apply. A Note About Future Maintenance An anti-graffiti protection layer makes it easier to remove graffiti. It does not keep people from tagging the mural. This is not a magic layer of protection that makes graffiti magically slide off the wall or wash off easily. Graffiti (paint from spray cans) comes in many different qualities. Some are easier to remove than others and some are very hard to remove. In addition to this anti-graffiti protection layer, upon being tagged, immediate removal of graffiti by building personnel (maintenance) AND REAAPLICATION of anti-graffiti protection will ensure long term, best appearance and mural preservation. Both the anti-graffiti protection layer and the mural can be touched up if damage occurs. Even if a mural is not at risk of vandalism, should it be varnished? Here a quick practical example of what the weather and hydrolysis can do: Questions: Scott M.

There is absolutely no surprise in the fact that today men and women are taking the digital way to find that special someone. Of course, technology has made things very easy and fast, for that matter. Now we can call a taxi in five minutes or order some groceries online from the comfort of our couch. So why can't we find that special someone from our home, office, or vacation? The Gen Z and millennials don't have it easy; our busy lives can be daunting enough to refrain us from meeting someone new. It is hard getting that extra hour to go downstairs your office building to grab that hot Mocha you enjoy and start a conversation with a gentleman because you liked his smile. The conventional method of dating has become very obsolete, where people meet at a church or a friend's house. Instead, most people now prefer the online dating concept because it's easier and fits well with their busy schedules. Moreover, if you are a shy person, you can do pretty well behind a screen to put your best foot forward instead of acting awkward in person. Online you can pretty much control all the dynamics from who you are speaking with and what expectations you want to set up before you start the conversation. The Dilemma Finding the right partner is never a walk in the park, and perhaps it is the hardest thing in the world you can imagine. There are too many people in the dating pool looking for "the one" for days, months, and sometimes even years but are unable to find their true soul mates. Most people complain that there are just too many people to talk to with little or no chemistry. This is mind-boggling. There are almost 7 billion people in the world, and there has to be someone cut out just right for you. If you are looking online for your partner, trust that you are not alone in this. There are many more in the same boat as you who are struggling to find their true soul mates. Research Speaks the Truth About Dating Apps Some studies state that there are about 48 percent of people who say that they have used an online dating app to search for their soul mates. In the same group, about 20 percent of the people stated that they have married from the app. However, the downside of this is a study conducted in the past year also revealed that many of the online daters, about 48 percent, have expressed that they felt more frustrated after using the dating apps because of the kind of matches they got. Most of them expressed they were not happy with the candidates that appeared to them because they did not share the same values, interests, hobbies, and goals as them. Something to Ponder Over If you think about it, talking to so many people in the hopes that they will be your right match can be a daunting and time-consuming task. It can emotionally wreck a person and cause severe traumas. Although there are numerous dating apps you can think of, and some of them are very popular in the global market; however, each one of them lacks a certain aspect of your requirement. That is when STARFLIP came into being. STARFLIP is an online dating app with a uniqueness to it; it is as personalized as it can be and will ensure that you are never left frustrated with your choices online because the world has evolved, and so has technology. With a revolutionary tech innovation, you can now start talking to suitors who are just what you want. My story I am a dedicated tech developer and love playing with and developing new technology for the world to bring ease, convenience, and opportunities for my users. My goal with STARFLIP is that people meet their potential suitors without having to go through the hassle of swiping to endless and unlikely matches. Be in control and search for what you really want. It was one sunny afternoon when I was having a cup of coffee with my lady friend at the café when she expressed her disappointment with online dating. She asked me if I knew any legit apps other than the most popular ones. However, I being somewhat uninterested in dating apps, had no clue what to suggest to her, hence I kept silent and sympathized with her. She was a busy lady working her neck off. Like most millennials, and she did not have enough time to meet people conventionally. Besides, I don't even know if people still do that because apps have made it super easy for people to meet. She told me that she is already using some dating apps and have swiped over thousands of people in the past few years. She added that she also went out on a few dates. However, all was in vain because some of the men were not on the same page as her in terms of a relationship, or they ghosted her or just weren't what she was looking for. My friend was exhausted by this point, and I believed she did something wrong with these apps because how can technology fail in this day and age where people just aren't matched from choosing who they really want? I asked her why she doesn't just search for the criteria she wants in a man on those dating apps so that she does not end up wasting her time and getting hurt emotionally. That is when she revealed the big shock to me about how you cannot search for what you want on any dating app. You will have to just swipe mindlessly on hundreds of people and just hope you really end up liking someone. She further the best you can get is probably the app just recommends someone who matches a tiny bit of your interests. Isn’t that just crazy? You don’t even get an interview call unless your CV matches the job criteria! When I search for something on google or any other good search engine, it gives me an exact result of what im looking for within the top 10 links. Somehow nobody even thought about building a dating app that matches a user’s broad criteria. I mean there should have been a Google for dating that enables you to search whatever you want and also give you exactly what you want! without wasteing any of your time. The failure of today's modern dating application I downloaded this application to see whether my friend was right, and to my utter shock, I saw a range of options that were loosely presented to me. I did not know who they were and what kind of interests they had, it was like a foolish attempt to throw everything and everyone at me until I ended up liking someone. How can an application suggest people without knowing my interests or personality? This is the biggest failure of the modern dating applications because they will present to you any Tom, Dick, and Harry who signs up to these applications. You will be unable to choose any characteristic you want in a person because these apps don't give you the option to select any. And even the ones that provide you with options of interests, traits or some questions just leaves the rest to an algorithm find your best match. That is a major red flag, to begin with. How can they not understand that people need to be in control to find what they really want. How STARFLIP came into being Knowing how people are becoming frustrated around the world using these applications, the biggest gap was revealed in the dating industry. No application today matches you with the broad set standards or criteria you want. So if you love dogs and also love the beach, you shouldn't have to match with someone who dislikes dogs and does'nt like the beach, right? STARFLIP was designed to eliminate all these issues where people were matched with unlikely suitors. This saves a lot of time and emotional trauma as well. After two years of rigorous research and tech development, STARFLIP came to being with a bang offering some unique specs into your dating life. Today the dynamics of your dating life have changed because of how much control the app gives to people in their search for a potential suitor. Say no to swiping mindlessly! Dating should be simple and straight to the point. What is STARFLIP? STARFLIP launched in the year 2022. The social application enables people to have romantic communication between them to find their potential suitor. You will be provided with robust search functions that put you in control. You can literally search for anything you want or desire in a person. The experience will be like meeting a stranger and at the same time feeling you've known them all your life. You will be provided with a list of people that match your search; you can swipe yes to a card if you are interested in the person displayed to you, or else you can move onto the next best option for you by clicking no on the displayed card. And If you are the type who just like to encounter random people not necessarily matching your traits or interests, you are not left out. You can also use the application to explore and find new people in your area and chat with them to make friends if that is what they also want. STARFLIP welcomes everyone. The app is currently launched only on IOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/starflip-date-meet-people/id1586301774 and will be on Android soon. How is STARFLIP different from other applications? Where most applications have millions of users online either for dating, hookups, or even meeting new people, there are no broad criteria for the app to show users their potential partners. It is a mindless job to keep swiping unless you think the next one looks good. So, the only parameters on which these dating apps allow you to like someone is physical attributes and some scanty interests. Perhaps someone can be an attractive individual but are compulsive liars or are just not looking for what you want in a relationship. What do you do then? You just end up wasting time. This is how STARFLIP changes the dating game for its user. The application is designed in a way that is operated around the theory of trait psychology. Everyone is unique and you should be able to search for the uniqueness you desire in a partner or a friend. Before you get started with the app, the first thing that you are required to do is to add in some critical information about yourself. Are you an observant human being or a very reserved one? STARFLIP will ask you these questions through a myriad of trait options. Are you attentive and down to earth? The app will ask you some secondary traits that define your hobbies, interests, and your mindset. If you can't find any of your options on the application, you can always add them on your own with the add option provided. An example of STARFLIP dating scenario
You will get what you are looking for Most of the time, people sign up on the app for different reasons; it could be for hookups to find a real relationship or get married. With STARFLIP, the element of guess is eliminated. At the same time, there will be some factors that you will need to learn about an individual yourself. Still, you will know from the very beginning what your potential partner is looking for as the app only matches you with people who share the same traits as you. We keep your security in mind. STARFLIP makes sure that your individual privacy is protected. Furthermore, we know that there are many fake profiles on the leading dating applications, and it is very easy to lie. However, with STAFLIP's app, numerous measures ensure that only real people are making their profiles on the platform. This will significantly reduce the chances of you getting scammed by anyone who pretends to be someone else; however, we always encourage our users to be careful and do their due diligence themselves as nothing on the internet is 100 percent safe. The application verifies the user's picture to be a real one, as proper moderation systems are in place to verify the authenticity of an image. Why should you use the STARFLIP? The dating app is specifically designed for users who found no success on other dating apps. It is one of the best ways you can eliminate any risk of matching with people who do not share the same interests as you. This will save your time and emotional energy. Furthermore, STARFLIPS privacy security is very rigorous. If you plan to become a user, you have to check lots of security requirements before making a profile. Furthermore, you will only be shown people near you unless you upgrade your account to the STARFLIP PLUS, the travel mode. You can find anyone on a global scale if you are using the platform to meet with people on your way to other countries. You can also instant chat with people you are very interested in and get immediate responses. Hence, the probability of finding your true soul mate on STARFLIP is higher than any other application due to the formula working behind it to give you what you want. How can you INSTANTLY become more attractive on STARFLIP? There was a saying that mystery is attractive. Is it, though? Most of the millennials and Gen Z want total honesty, and who even has time to beat around the bush and play the guess games. The whole point of online dating is to find the right people for courtship during your busy schedule. But this defeats the purpose if people don't want to reveal themselves as much as possible online. While lots of people are skeptical about putting too much information out there for privacy purposes but there are still pieces of you that you can share to make your profile more interesting for potential suitors. Remember that your photos are perhaps the first thing someone will notice on your profile, and the worst thing you can do is post pictures online that are not of yourself. Yes! You read that right, this totally happens, and unfortunately, lots of people fall prey to this. Photos For starters, you will eventually get caught on STARFLIP for posting a fake picture; hence it is not even wise to even try something like that on the platform. The best photo of yourself will be the one that is very clear and is not full of filters because that can show an unrealistic image of yourself. Hence ensure that you use your phone's camera without any of the filters and smile as bright as you can. People tend to click yes to more smiley faces. Each of your first three STARFLIP photos must be your best look. It could be with your friends out on the beach or snuggling in your sweater during a chilly night. It is good to show all your sides to your potential partner to get more "yes" on the profiles. A great profile is when you show images of yourself in a variety of situations, and each one of your images must be in a long vertical rectangle. Biography Biography is a very important part of the whole dating process as after your photos; the suitor will read who you really are. Having no description could not get you anywhere because if you get a match just for your looks, then it could mean someone is looking for a hookup (which is not a bad thing if that is what you want); however, if you want to develop a more meaningful relationship, then you must tell the reader about yourself a bit. Although you may want to write too little or too much, the best advice is to keep it very simple. You don't have to mention every detail of your life in your biography. But try to mention the important points about your self or your personality. We ask this because anything you put in your Bio can be searched on Starflip's quick search. For instance: If you indicate "I am adventrous and romantic" in your profile, and someone in your region search for the term "adventrous and romantic", you will most definately be a top search result in their BIO search section. Remember that you are getting matched as per your traits; hence the likely hood of the match becoming your potential suitor is high. However, if you want to maximize your chances for accuracy, writing a biography that defines you in simple words is the way to go about it. An example of this can be "I live a nomadic life because I love to discover the wonders of the world, I am adventrous and romantic and also have a pet cat who travels with me too. Loving life as it comes and working remotely in finance. Looking forward to finding the one." Here your reader knows what you are passionate about "travel," they also know you are an empathetic and loving person because you have a cat with you. Furthermore, they know what you do for a living and that you have certain goals in life. The biography also mentions very briefly that you are ready to take the leap of faith and fall in love. Note that this is just an example and users of STARFLIP are free to come up with any kind of biography and be creative. It is better that you avoid any negative, sarcastic, political, or religious views online as we do not tolerate discrimination and a low tolerance for any kind. You can also reduce your chances of getting matched with a potential suitor. Tricks to start a chat on STARFLIP Lots of people struggle to start an online chat with a suitor once they are matched, and asking too many questions right away can be a red flag. Always take a deep breath before you get into the whole vibe and allow the other person's room to feel comfortable. Questions like "hey, what's up?" are quite boring and don't trigger a conversation. It would help if you asked questions that stimulate good energy flow. The best way to go about it is that you ask them something specific to their profile. If they have mentioned something related to their work, it is best to ask a question related to that. An example of the questions can be "How do you find working in the XYZ company?' "I am a foodie like you; what is your go-to comfort food?" "How many years did it take you to complete your degree?" The above questions are not generic and are directly linked to the person you are talking to. This improves the chances of success because the person feels valued and knows you took out the time to read their profile. Hence it is essential to be smart when starting the conversation. Once the conversation is rolling, you can ask them if they are interested in grabbing coffee, lunch, or dinner someday, depending on your schedules. Traits This is one of the most crucial things to consider when you are setting up your STARFLIP profile. Being as accurate as you can be as honesty will get you the most accurate matches, and you will waste less time looking for options. If you are a vegan and believe that your partner should be vegan too, then the app will automatically ensure that it shows you results that are vegan too. STARFLIP puts a lot of emphasis on traits, and this is the biggest element that decides which are the most compatible people to you; hence never shy away from providing your traits. there are no right or wrong traits on STARFLIP.
