<div align="LEFT">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT">
Last
Friday, Super Typhoon Haiyan tore through the Pacific islands of the
Philippines, leaving behind a scene of destruction and despair. The
global Red Cross network is responding to emergency needs in the
Philippines with food, water, and relief supplies, and the American Red
Cross is lending people, expertise and equipment to this massive effort. </div>
<div align="LEFT">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT">
While Red Cross relief efforts
are well underway, blocked roads, destroyed infrastructure and downed
communication lines are making the response particularly challenging. </div>
<div align="LEFT">
The
Philippines, a nation of more than 7,000 islands, faces enormous
devastation in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan that produced record
strength winds along with high storm surges. Approximately 10 million
people across 40 provinces have been affected with as many as 600,000
people displaced and the death toll continuing to rise. </div>
<div align="LEFT">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT">
<b>PHILIPPINE RED CROSS ON THE GROUND</b>
The Philippine Red Cross is leading this response effort and their
volunteers have been caring for people even before Typhoon Haiyan made
landfall. Prior to the arrival of Typhoon Haiyan, the Philippine Red
Cross worked closely with local disaster authorities to support
preemptive evacuations, helping move more than 125,000 families to safer
shelters. The Philippine Red Cross also disseminated early warning
messages and safety tips in areas along the path of the typhoon.</div>
<div align="LEFT">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT">
Days
later, Philippine Red Cross volunteer rescue and relief teams continue
to provide assistance in the hardest hit communities, including
assisting in search and rescue efforts. The Philippine Red Cross has
extensive experience in search and rescue and large-scale relief and
recovery programs. The Philippine Red Cross is the largest humanitarian
organization in the country, with 1,000 staff members and an estimated
500,000 active volunteers engaged in response to this emergency. </div>
<div align="LEFT">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT">
The
Philippine Red Cross has begun distributions of relief supplies and
volunteers are packing more supplies to send to all the affected areas.
However, delivery of supplies in the worst affected city of Tacloban has
been significantly constrained by damage to local infrastructure.
Typhoon Haiyan hit the city of about 220,000 people the hardest with a
tsunami-like storm surge pushing a wall of water nearly 10 feet high
inland.</div>
<div align="LEFT">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT">
Specialized emergency
response teams from Red Cross societies across the globe are moving into
the Philippines to assist the Philippine Red Cross. These include teams
with expertise in logistics, disaster assessment, shelter, health,
water and sanitation. </div>
<div align="LEFT">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT">
<b>AMERICAN RED CROSS RESPONSE EFFORTS</b>
The American Red Cross is among those societies helping support the
response efforts of the Philippine Red Cross. Four people from the
American Red Cross have arrived in the Philippines. These include two
people who specialize in telecommunication and who are travelling with
satellite equipment, and two others who specialize in disaster
assessment. </div>
<div align="LEFT">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT">
When responding
overseas, the American Red Cross response is different than a typical
disaster response in the United States, working closely with the
affected Red Cross society who serves as the lead to provide the level
of staff support and assistance requested. </div>
<div align="LEFT">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT">
The
American Red Cross is also helping to reconnect families separated by
this typhoon and has activated its family tracing services. If people
are looking for a missing family member in the Philippines, please
remember that many phone lines are down. If people are unable to reach
loved ones, contact your local chapter of the American Red Cross to
initiate a family tracing care.</div>
<div align="LEFT">
The
American Red Cross remains in close contact with the Philippine Red
Cross, and more help and assistance will be provided in the days ahead.</div>
<div align="LEFT">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT">
People
who want to donate to the American Red Cross to support the response
for this typhoon can go to redcross.org or call 1-800-REDCROSS.</div>

<a href="http://act.pih.org/page/m/27a18497/4690e6f9/6c13f434/c896537/3751377533/VEsH/" style="color: #0000cc;" target="_blank"><img align="right" alt="View their work and voice your support" border="0" height="250" src="http://act.pih.org/page/-/img/email/seeourwork_rp1-dw.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;" width="200" /></a><br />
As Director of Communications, I am based in Partners In Health's Boston office. Like you, I often rely on our colleagues on the ground in Haiti to hear the latest updates.<br />
<br />
This morning I took a moment to look back through many of the pictures that have come across my desk in the past 12 months. In every photo, the resilience of our Haitian colleagues -- every one of whom has experienced the loss of a parent, child, sibling or dear friend -- is overwhelmingly apparent.<br />
<br />
And today, it's clear to see that we've made a real impact in Haiti. Thanks to your donations and the hard work of our colleagues on the ground, Haiti's story has become more than a tale of tragedy -- it has become a story of hope and dignity against all odds.<br />
<br />
Take a look at these photos to see what we have achieved together -- and then leave a note of support for the men and women doing this vital work.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://act.pih.org/page/m/27a18497/4690e6f9/6c13f434/c896537/3751377533/VEsE/" style="color: #0000cc;" target="_blank"><strong>http://pih.org/send-a-message </strong></a><br />
<br />
Zanmi Lasante, PIH's Haitian sister organization, and its 4,000 Haitian staff played an integral role in rapid response efforts in the days and weeks after the earthquake. Your support also helped us to maintain a constant presence on the ground. To date we have treated over 200,000 patients at PIH clinics in spontaneous settlements, and we've more than doubled our mental health team staff to 70. And as we continue to serve those in need, we've redoubled our efforts on important long-term projects that will improve public health in Haiti for years to come.<br />
<br />
Some of those projects are large, like the new 320-bed teaching hospital we're building in Mirebalais. Others are of a smaller scale -- like our work with a young woman named Carmene whose legs had to be amputated after a wall collapsed on her during the earthquake.<br />
<br />
Doctors from PIH and our partners at Hopital Albert Schweitzer fitted Carmene for new prosthetic legs two months after the quake. Now, she has joined the rebuilding effort herself. Hired by Zanmi Lasante as a Community Health Worker, she supports the mental and physical rehabilitation of other patients with disabilities.<br />
<br />
Carmene's story is just one among hundreds of thousands in Haiti. But it illustrates the real difference that we've made day in and day out thanks to the support of people like you.<br />
<br />
Every day our Haitian colleagues are at work serving their community. Please take a moment to see how much progress they've made and leave them a word of support -- we'll be sending all of your messages to our team in Haiti.<br />
<br />
<strong><a href="http://act.pih.org/page/m/27a18497/4690e6f9/6c13f434/c896537/3751377533/VEsF/" style="color: #0000cc;" target="_blank">http://pih.org/send-a-message </a></strong><br />
<br />
Thank you so much for getting involved with Partners In Health and Zanmi Lasante. I feel deeply, deeply proud of our work -- and so should you.<br />
<br />
With profound thanks,<br />
<br />

Artemis' husky, heavenly alto floats over dreamy organic soundscapes and smart, dynamic beats. Combining elements of trip-hop, drum and bass, breakbeat and poptronica, Artemis fuses a hybrid sound that can take you from a rocking club to a late night lounge and everywhere in between. So, Ms. Lear reached out in hopes of collaborating with other powerful independent women musicians like herself and invited Artemis to collaborate on shows.<br />Artemis and Divasonic are both Cyberset artists and partners of a collaborative Diva started with her first partner <a href="http://www.myspace.com/rena">Rena Jones</a>. Anyway... Celeste is thorough. She reached out to Divasonic too because Divasonic, a beautiful performer and producer, with ambient bass beats and acoustic piano and flute, heads an electronica collaborative named <a href="http://www.digitalblissproductions.com/">Digital Bliss Productions</a>. Diva established an annual event called Estrogenesis produced by women artists of Electronic music in San Francisco, CA. <a href="http://digitalblissproductions.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_digitalblissproductions_archive.html">(check it out by clicking here)</a>. This was all while Celeste felt the networking energy.<br />Ms. Lear began spreading the word of her upcoming album release <a href="http://www.celestelear.com/main.html">"The Echo Inside"</a> a few months ago in February.</center></div> <center><br /><a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/celestelear"><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/celestelear.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /></a></center><br /><center> Well, to say the least, Celeste Lear fell in love with Diva's music too and invited both Artemis and Divasonic to join forces and set up a couple of shows in Santa Cruz, California and Reno, Nevada.</center><br /><center><a href="http://www.communityurbansoulproject.blogspot.com"><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/Flyerz/th_BrookdateLodgeMay6thFlyer.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/P50700331.jpg" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/th_P50700331.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/P5070024.jpg" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/th_P5070024.jpg" /></a><br /></center><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Brookdale Lodge May 6th, 2006</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Well... I hear the show was phenomenal, but the house lighting and sound isn't the best. Artemis's music is spiritually saturated and colored in depth, so I know she did a beautiful job on stage. This is what I hear. This downtempo queen could hypnotize a nation. I'm sure she was a sensation. I saw her perform at the 14th annual Digital Be-In and whew!<br />So, after the Brookdale Lodge, which didn't have the biggest turn out, partially due to the story of it being haunted by 49 residing spirits and partially because of underground rumors of staff politics (strictly rumor I'm sure), the show was great, but the attendance was short. The ladies parted ways, Diva after the show and Artemis and Celeste Lear in the morning. Artemis returned to her Marin Ranch and Diva headed back to her Bay Area home and next to meet Celeste in Reno, Nevada to finish Celeste Lears Northern Tour.<br /></div><center><a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/LOGO1.jpg" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.myspace.com/celestelear"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/th_LOGO1.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.cyberset.cc/"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/th_Divasonic.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/P50700961.jpg" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/th_P50700961.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/Atiim/P50701431.jpg" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/Atiim/th_P50701431.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/Atiim/P50701231.jpg" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/Atiim/th_P50701231.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/Atiim/P5070135.jpg" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/Atiim/th_P5070135.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/Atiim/P5070083.jpg" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/Atiim/th_P5070083.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/Atiim/P50701311.jpg" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/Atiim/th_P50701311.jpg" /></a><a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/Atiim/P50701441.jpg" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/Atiim/th_P50701441.jpg" /></a></center><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;">The Experience:</span></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I drove up to Nevada with Divasonic to feature on a new track that we collaborated on production and writing named 'Seed'. We met Celeste, Peter, Bryan and Jeff at the Lear lair. From there we left for the show to set up and get sound checked. It was a great day. The bar reminded me of a secret hole in the wall. It was made of bricks and tucked in an alley between two businesses right on the street. The staff greeted us all with helping hands and drink tickets. Yes, it was a great night.<br />Diva sound checked first and enveloped the room with teasing sounds of what was to come. Meanwhile I talked with the band mates of Celeste. Bryan, the bass player is a grounded cat that's cooler than a Polar Bear's toe nail. Peter, the keys player, carries an alluring mystic that grabs anyone's attention. He stated he'd just done a photoshoot in LA before doing the tour, while explaining why he had two blue extentions in his hair that looked 'Native American'. Jeff the drummer explained how he happened upon the drumless band two weeks prior to the tour. He had just finished playing with Andre 3000 and re-settling in LA when he browsed Craigslist and found Celeste's add for a drummer. Well, Celeste was in for a treat.<br />During sound check for Celeste the band played a few tunes and each one made me jump and dance. Now, there aren't too many bands that grab my body the way Celeste's band does. When a band moves me I can't do nothing but pay each member the fullest respect. RESPECT!<br />After all the business of checking and situating occurred the doors opened at 8pm and Divasonic blessed the house with her beautiful music. She started with a new song from untitled upcoming CD. The song was called 'Changing Wind'...It was amazing! I got on stage and performed our piece 'Seed', which will get better as it is more polished. The house was packed. No one left the room. It seemed the room became more and more filled as her set went on. Diva performed her new single <a href="http://Cyberset.cc">"Filled With Love"</a> and "Candy Store" from her <a href="http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/divasonic3">"Birth"</a> CD. In awe the crowd sat quietly listening to every note being played and every lyric being sung. I hoped for dancing, but it felt like dancing wasn't as important to the crowd as it is to me. It didn't matter, the room continued to fill. By the time Divasonic retired from the stage the only consistent thing I recall hearing from Celeste Lear and other spectators is, "That girl is going places..."<br />After all of the anticipation Celeste mounted the stage with 'the band' and ripped the club a new "@$# hole". I couldn't help but fill my camera with pictures the entire night and I worked up such a sweat from dancing, there wasn't a beer that made me tipsy. Celeste's father and step-mother were present and according to her announcement mid-set, "This is the first show my father's seen my band play live". Every song had deep bass rythmes and Soul filled singing, drumming that was completely unbelievable and both the Keys and Guitar were singing to each other. A real band! A real funky band! They performed a number of new tunes; 'Letter From A Train', 'Mrs. Knievel', 'House of Glass' and my new favorite tune, "Tears in the garden" from her long awaited album <a href="http://cdbaby.com/cd/celestelear">"The Echo Inside"</a>.<br />The experience filled me with love, with joy, with enthusiasm to continue my community building work and a sense of deep connection to the process of creating and performing music that makes people think, feel and move. All three ladies are certified lyricists. They have the music to back it up and the attitude to enrich any room they fill with their music. If I could relive it again I would, but it will forever be an experience I'm eternally grateful for. Thank you.<br /><br /></div></div><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Celeste Lear</span></span> <span style="font-size:130%;">says, "I am at <a href="http://mailto:oneearlear@yahoo.com">oneearlear@yahoo.com</a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">...My band members names are:<br /></span></span><ul><li><a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/P50701354.jpg" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/th_P50701354.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Bryan Jeffries</span> on bass, <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></li><li><a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/P50701351.jpg" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/th_P50701351.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Peter Johnson</span> on keys/laptop and <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></li><li><a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/P50701352.jpg" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/th_P50701352.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Jef Van Veen </span> on drums(who, by the way, played on Andre 3000's 'Love Below').<br /></span></li><li><a href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/P50701021.jpg" target="_blank"><br /><img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b242/blackulah/tadow/th_P50701021.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"> I...<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Celeste Lear</span>...do all our programming, arranging , voice and guitars (Production)."</span></li></ul><span style="font-size:85%;">For more information about Celeste Lear go to<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/celestelear">http://www.myspace.com/celestelear</a> or visit her home page at <a href="http://www.celestelear.com/">http://www.celestelear.com/</a><br />For more information about Artemis go to<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/artemis1">http://www.myspace.com/artemis1</a> or visit her home page at<br /><a href="http://www.artemis.fm/">http://www.artemis.fm/</a><br />For more information about Divasonic go to<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/divasonic">http://www.myspace.com/divasonic</a> or visit her home page at<br /><a href="http://www.divasonic.com">http://www.divasonic.com</a><br /><br />other links to view:<br /><a href="http://www.digitalblissproductions.com/">http://www.digitalblissproductions.com/</a><br /><a href="http://www.Cyberset.cc">http://www.Cyberset.cc</a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Artemis, Divasonic & Celeste Lear are members of<br /> </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Community Urban Soul Project</span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">:</span><br /><a href="http://www.CommunityUrbanSoulProject.blogspot.com">http://www.CommunityU</a><a href="http://www.CommunityUrbanSoulProject.blogspot.com">rbanSoulProject.blogspot.com</a><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17599646.post-1145564550829777652006-04-20T13:17:00.000-07:002006-04-20T13:22:30.830-07:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> A Thousand WordZ</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hello Community!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Do you have photography, paintings, words, song, poetry, and music…talent to share?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I am Atiim Chenzira, organizer of A Thousand WordZ</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">http://mailto:atiim@atiim.net/</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">www.APictureZWorth.Blogspot.com</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A Thousand WordZ is an Ezine and a Community that is rapidly growing.

We use a medium which allows artists to share their gifts and talents, arts and creativity, technical know-how and editorial knowledge with each other. We’re inviting you to join our communtiy and to submit your works for our future publication. We focus on Audio and Visual arts, which could be anything you do; short stories, essays, journalism, poetry, photography, paintings, drawings, song- lyrics, rap/hip-hop, rock, reggae, punk, spoken word, whatever… We are moving in a group and erecting something that is useful to us all.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">This is how it works: You read the theme of the upcoming issue. You send us your works. We configure the Ezine accordingly. We set up events to display our works. For your contributions to the Ezine we provide a link from our Network Section (Voltronnection) to either your webpage or email address. The Network Section will be open to the public and we will give snippets of recordings and a tour of our site.

The idea is great. We've raised funds this year for Hurricane relief and through our music collaborative (C.U.S.P.) Community Urban Soul Project, we've raised funds for Breast Cancer last November. Our November 10th, 2005 show at the Oakland Metro sparked a realization among the artists that witnessed and participated that community is greater than working alone. Sharing is beautiful and helps take some burden away from isolated attempts to achieve a goal. So, since musicians are clearly into making music this thread of commonality and the will to share our gifts to make a positive change in our immediate communities glues us to this idea of humanity. Humanity can only exist when sharing is involved. So won't you share with us? Share in this idea of community and help us help us all.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Take a look around the sidebars and see which blog you'd like to display your talent.
