COOL SITE - www.quantumshift.tv Quantum Shift TV is a 21st Century storyteller renewing the cultural values of community, care and interconnectedness through the use of leading edge technology and citizen journalism. We have been inspired by research from the Max Plank Institute in Germany confirming our belief that people are more likely to take positive action when they are seen to be doing so. So what happens when traditional newsrooms focus on death, catastrophe, violence, conflict and controversy rather than on the daily stories about success, breakthroughs, the perseverance of the human spirit and the caring in our communities? The public is aware of the negative impact TV has on our society and especially on children. The American psychiatric association states, "The debate is over... for the last 3 decades, the one predominant finding in research on the mass media is that exposure to media portrayals of violence increases aggressive behavior in children." Is that how we want to educate our children? Is that the world we truly want to create?

HUMAN - Do you know somebody who HATE dolphins ?

, , , ...

You can`t believe this.



Revealing the Truth to the World:
Keeping the Pressure on to Stop the Slaughter


The only way to stop the dolphin slaughter is to keep monitoring, advocating, filming, and bringing attention to it.

One of the main reasons that the killing continues is that very few people — in Japan and around the world — even know it is happening.

When the drive is over each day, the bodies of the dolphins are hauled away to the slaughterhouse for processing. Our team tries to photograph the butchering in order to get information out to the Japanese people, but we are constantly blocked by the Taiji dolphin killers.

The fishermen don’t want the public to know about their dirty, little secret, so they spend a lot of time hiding their activities. They know that if Japan and the world learn the truth about this barbaric practice, world opinion will immediately put it to an end.

The fishermen in Taiji told us not to take any photographs. They said that if our photos and video footage get out to the rest of the world, it would pressure the authorities in Tokyo to deny them permits for the annual dolphin slaughter.

We need to continue to return to Taiji to document the dolphin massacres and give the photos and video footage away to the media, free of charge. We will continue to encourage journalists to return to Japan with us. Exposing these crimes against nature to the world is crucial.

CULTURE - Flamenco

, , , ...

"El flamenco nació en la mitad del siglo XIX en Andalucía, al sur de España, como un patrimonio común de muchos pueblos, culturas, religiones y tradiciones. Salmos griegos, cantos árabes, corales gregorianos, romanzas castellanas, lamentos judíos, cantos morunos, música de la África Negra como también la tradición increíble de los gitanos andaluces que llegaron allí desde la India lejana se alearon un una forma musical original y nueva, conocida hoy en día como flamenco y expresada en el canto, baile y sonidos de la guitarra.
" En la base de “Flamenco” de C. Saura


“ Flamenco was born in the middle of 19th century in Andalusia, south of Spain, as the common heritage of many nations, cultures, religions and traditions. Greek psalms, Arab songs, Gregorian chorals, Castilian romances, Jewish laments, the music of black Africa and the tradition of the Andalusia Gypsies, who came here from India, they all merged in the one, original, new music form known today under the name “flamenco”, expressed in singing, dancing and sounds of guitar.”
From the film “Flamenco” by Carlos Saura

MAÑANA en ESPAÑA

, , , ...

mañana vamos a la playa
“Mañana”
esta palabra concluye toda la filosofía de vida de los españoles y sobre todo los andaluces. No siempre es literal, puede significar “más tarde, pero no sé cuando”, pero puede ser también “por favor, déjame en paz” y es la paz y la calma las que más les interesan a los habitantes de la Costa. No se preocupan por todo, porque no tiene sentido. Obviamente tienen problemas como todo el mundo, pero cuando llegan no se ponen nerviosos sino actúan para resolverlos. Y por eso son más efectivos. Hay situaciones que no se puede cambiar nada, entonces ¿para qué agobiarse?
Los españoles adoran la fiesta y saben disfrutar de ella. Sobre todo dan la prioridad a la calma y a la familia antes del trabajo. Cumplen con sus obligaciones pero no a toda costa. Prefieren trabajar menos, ganar menos y más tiempo dedicar a la familia, al tiempo libre para descansar y gozar más de la vida. Tal vez es lo que nosotros, siempre tan “ocupados”, podríamos aprender de este pueblo sureño.

manana – these three words define the Spanish recipe of a long, happy and peaceful life. Siesta is a time for rest in the middle of a day, usually between 14.00 and 17.00, when the temperature is so high, that it is too hard to work. Within this time Spaniards eat late lunch and take a nap. But not only. They say most of the Spanish citizens were procreated during siesta… A midday rest gives people energy for night life, which is very important in Andalusia, especially in summer. Fiesta, that can be translated as celebration, having fun or party, happens very often – Christian holidays or old pagan celebrations, any reason is good to put on the regional clothes and party, even 7 days a week and 24 hours a day. Manana is one of the most popular Spanish words, meaning “tomorrow”. In fact it expresses very well the philosophy and attitude of the people of Andalusia – what you should do today, better do tomorrow…
