The Street Art of Brooklyn's Gabriel Specter




Uplifting your community, is all about knowing the people who live in your neighborhood, as well as the problems they face, which will enable us to find the right tools to fix it.  Thanks to Gabriel Specter, a talented and  upcoming Brooklyn street artist, we get to see first hand, the everyday struggles and problems people face in their communities.. Street Art has long been affiliated with self expression, and what better way to understand and get more in depth and personal with those in the community, by understanding  how they feel and what they go through, on a daily basis.

China Seeking To Control Its Culture

China  is now considered among the elites, when it comes to economic growth, and  military muscles, but the country's leadership is concerned about its vulnerability on a more nebulous front: culture.
The Chinese Government is trying  to clamp down on of content being broadcast on the airwaves and websites within the country.Its aim, to try and  promote Chinese culture and reduce outside influences. This same concept, which goes back to the same ideals, which Fidel Castro has been doing in Cuba for many years. The Chinese president, Hu Jintao, warned the Communist leadership  is not to loosen their grip on the country's cultural scene. The fear,  the Chinese government wants  to keep outside influences at bay. The Chinese government is worried, about the growing global influence of the US, because it wants to keep its culture strong. This upcoming year, its poses to restrict certain media programming and news , that is brought into the country from the international market. In doing so, China hopes that the  symbolism and the patriotism  of its country remains strong, and the morality and development of the youth remain intact.

2011 A Year In Reflection.

2011 a year of extremes,






1) The capture of Osama Bin Laden, marked the begin of the end? or is it?



2) The Occupy Wall Street movement creates buzz in the financial district, and creates worldwide uproar, as citizens all over the world, take to the streets, their concerns, anger uncertainty  and frustration, for a new change. I diffidently think change is coming in 2012.


3) Ten Year Anniversary of 9/11. The 9/11 Memorial opens for the first time. As we mourn the victims on this day. I will never forget this day.



4) Japanese Tsunami kills millions, as the country rebuilds from one of the biggest natural disaster in its  history. The pictures and videos explained it all.



5) The fall of the dictator, Moammar Gadhafi, 42 year rule comes to an end. Still wondering why we were there in the first place.


Stay tuned…………………..  One question I do ask?Do you think 2011 is  going to spin over into 2012? or is 2012 is going to be the year for change?  Looking forward to keeping you guys informed on the the latest happenings, as well as my experience living in Asia.


Happy New Years!!!!!
