Is this happening In Hawaii? Real Estate "Flopping" The New Corporate Screw Job

An article posted  noted the following items:

Large investment firms have spent billions of dollars over the last year buying homes in some of the nation’s most depressed markets. The influx has been so great, and the resulting price gains so big, that ordinary buyers are feeling squeezed out. Now, investment companies like the Blackstone Group have swooped in, buying thousands of houses
Joe Cusumano, a real estate agent in Riverside County, Calif., said that in recent months 90 percent of his business had been for companies like Invitation Homes, a Blackstone subsidiary.

What the Juice Makers gave millions each to defeat GMO Labeling laws, SCARY JUICE FACTS

I have been stumped why Ocean Spray, Minute Made, and Tropicana makers of 100% Juice Drinks, wholesome companies worried about the health of their consumers, (Right?!) invested millions each to Help to DEFEAT the Washington State GMO law. In trying to figure this need for these companies to defeat the Washington State message  I have come across some interesting facts. Which I am going to share bwith you here, while I make my point for GMO Labeling! First, 100% Juice does not mean that Tropicana or Minute Made has a Juicer like in Jamba Juice that squeezes the Juice out of the orange and goes right into the bottle. In fact, this is totally NOT what happens.  Most of the 100% juice drinks are made from Juice Concentrates, “Concentrate” Is Just A Fancy Name for Syrup, GROSS RIGHT?

"I want to assure you the we have the situation fully under control" UPDATE 2-Record radiation readings near Fukushima contaminated water tanks Japan just got the nod to host the next Olympics in Tokyo while the disaster at Fukushima is still unfolding.

* Latest readings as high as 2,200 millisieverts * High enough to kill unprotected person within hours * Not related to Wednesday's 6.9 magnitude earthquake By Aaron Sheldrick and Mari Saito TOKYO, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Radiation readings around tanks holding contaminated water at the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant have spiked by more than a fifth to their highest levels, Japan's nuclear regulator said, heightening concerns about the clean-up of the worst atomic disaster in almost three decades. Radiation hotspots have spread to three holding areas for hundreds of hastily built tanks storing water contaminated by being flushed over three reactors that melted down at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in March 2011. The rising radiation levels and leaks at the plant have prompted international alarm, and the Japanese government said on Tuesday it would step in with almost $500 million of funding to fix the growing levels of contaminated water at the plant. Readings just above the ground near a set of tanks at the plant showed radiation as high as 2,200 millisieverts (mSv), the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) said on Wednesday. The previous high in areas holding the tanks was the 1,800 mSv recorded on Saturday. Both levels would be enough to kill an unprotected person within hours. The NRA has said the recently discovered hotspots are highly concentrated and easily shielded.

Okay, it's been almost a decade I've been posting and aggregating articles, links and photos on the web.  I've decided to "go fishing" for awhile and tend to business around the house.  I also always have several writing projects in various stages of completion.  Much to do and little time to do it.  Thanks for visiting.  If you are looking for old articles and illustrations they are all gone off into digital space.  God bless.
