Can you believe it’s been 15 years already??? Time flies, but more importantly, quotes last forever. So here are some famous 9-11 quotes…

Our enemies have made the mistake that America’s enemies always make. They saw liberty and thought they saw weakness. And now, they see defeat. –George W. Bush, President of the United States.

Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me.” –President George W. Bush September 11, 2001.

The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom. –Rudolph W. Giuliani. December 31, 2001.

The city is going to survive, we are going to get through it, it’s going to be very, very difficult time. I don’t think we yet know the pain that we’re going to feel when we find out who we lost, but the thing we have to focus on now is getting this city through this, and surviving and being stronger for it. –Rudolph Giuliani

We’ll have to deal with the networks. One of the ways to do that is to drain the swamp they live in. And that means dealing not only with the terrorists, but those who harbor terrorists. This will take a long, sustained effort. It will require the support of the American people as well as our friends and allies around the world. –Donald Rumsfeld, Press Briefing, September 18, 2001

I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.

George W. Bush

50 Million Children Displaced Across The World

displaced children, UNICEF report on displaced children

 

According to an Unicef report Uprooted :The Growing Crisis for Refugee and Migrant Children, about fifty million children around the globe have been uprooted from their homes, including twenty-eight million that are displaced by violent conflict. They are all in need of assistance and critical services.

An estimated ten million children have fled their countries due to conflicts and other crises, one million are asylum seekers and another seventeen million have been internally displaced. The report also found that an additional twenty million child migrants have left their countries of birth for reasons such as extreme poverty and gang violence, and that more and more children are crossing borders on their own.

“These children may be refugees, internally displaced or migrants, but first and foremost, they are children: no matter where they come from, whoever they are, and without exception.

Children do not bear any responsibility for the bombs and bullets, the gang violence, persecution, the shriveled crops and low family wages driving them from their homes. They are, however, always the first to be affected by war, conflict, climate change and poverty.

Children in these contexts are among the most vulnerable people on earth and this vulnerability is only getting worse. The number of child refugees under the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ (UNHCR) mandate has more than doubled in just 10 years – this shocking statistic is simply unacceptable.”

No child should have to go through such a life. Uprooted :The Growing Crisis for Refugee and Migrant Children is the first comprehensive report on the topic of the world’s displaced children. You can read the full report here.

Seven Million People Die From Pollution Every Year

Tags

effects of pollution, millions die from pollution every year, pollution kills

According to a press release on the UN News Center, “The World Health Organisation has estimated that seven million people on the planet are dying from pollution – that is more or less the same number of people dying from cancer,” the Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), Erik Solheim, told reporters in Geneva.

That is a pretty grave and preventable disaster. In the rush for progress, change and economic growth, the environment is ignored. And like someone long ago said, what affects the environment affects us. If the environment suffers we suffer to the point of killing ourselves.

According to WorldWildLife.Org, by 2000, the world’s chemical production had increased by 400 times since 1930. Chemicals have contributed to modern life but it  has also contributed to the contamination of our land, water bodies and the air around the world. They then accumulate in the bodies of animals and humans who absorb chemicals through the skin or ingest them in food or water. “Increasingly, there is particular concern lately about three types of chemicals: chemicals that persist in the environment and accumulate in the bodies of wildlife and people, endocrine disruptors that can interfere with hormones, and chemicals that cause cancer or damage DNA.”

If we turn a blind eye, it will only get worse, hopefully world leaders will take steps to alleviate this problem and reduce human suffering.

The Largest Protected Area On Earth Is In Hawaii

Tags

largest protected area on earth, Papahānaumokuākea national monument, Papahānaumokuākea national preserve

The largest protected are a on Earth is in Hawaii! President Obama created the biggest protected area on earth, The Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, more than half a million square miles, which is part of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.

It was established by George W. Bush ten years ago at about 140,000 square miles. Papahānaumokuākea is now 582,578 square miles of land and sea – two times the size of Texas. President Obama used his executive powers under the 1906 Antiquities Act to make Papahānaumokuākea the largest protected area on earth. All commercial extraction including fishing will not be allowed in this area. Papahānaumokuākea is a sanctuary for endangered species, including blue whales, sea turtles, and the last Hawaiian monk seals and its deeper waters are inhabited by more than 7,000 species, including the oldest animals on Earth – black corals that are more than 4000 years old. And there is a lot to be discovered and studied here.

Here’s a very insightful excerpt from an article by Char Miller,

“In 2014, Obama added roughly 300,000 square miles to the Bush-inaugurated Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument (now totaling 490,343 square miles), a stretch of remote Pacific islands south and west of Hawaii. When he did so, he justified its expansion as a way to strengthen Pacific ecosystems. The same rationale was deployed in support of Papahānaumokuākea National Monument.

These two mega monuments, when combined with the 126 other (and smaller) U.S. marine sanctuaries, now account for about 26 percent of the nation’s waters, meaning that collectively they are giving oceanic species a fighting chance to survive as the climate-charged seas warm and rise. They also make the president’s latest action in the Pacific more than a grand gesture. It just might be a planetary life preserver.” To read the complete article, click here.

Despite the controversy surrounding this expansion, leaving vast swathes of land and ocean free from commercial activity will play a big role is conservation, and hopefully, other countries will take a cue and do the same for areas in their region too.

Aleppo Boy, viral video from Syria, World Humanitarian Day

Today is World Humanitarian Day. The UN theme for World Humanitarian Day this year is One Humanity. “This World Humanitarian Day, the UN and its partners are calling for global solidarity with the more than 130 million people around the world who need humanitarian assistance to survive. Under the theme of ‘One Humanity’, World Humanitarian Day will highlight how the world came together in Istanbul for the World Humanitarian Summit earlier this year, and made commitments to support people affected by crisis and ensure that aid workers can safely and more effectively deliver to those in need. Events will be held around the world on 19 August to honor the work of humanitarian workers and to celebrate the theme of ‘One Humanity’. ” (un.org)

One Humanity to me means, the people of earth are one large family and we must all endeavor to work towards creating peace for all. Let’s remember Syria and the civil war there on World Humanitarian day. The innocent victims are many and through the horror of the war, many organizations keep their chin up and do what they can to help and alleviate the suffering. Here’s a video of a little boy, one of the victims of the war in Syria that went viral. Fortunately his entire family is said to have survived.

Move Over Leonidas, Phelps Now The Greatest Athlete Of All Time

Tags

ancient olympian Leonidas, Micheal Phelps and Leonidas Of Rhodes, Who was Leonidas of Rhodes

Leonidas Of Rhodes held the record for the greatest athlete of all time for more than 2000 years, 2168 to be precise, for the most number of individual wins in the olympics. On Thursday, Michael Phelps beat his word record with 13 individual gold medals, overall he has won 22 gold medals.

Leonidas record was set in 152 BC. And back then they did not receive gold medals, they were given wreaths made from olive branches. Leonidas was a runner. According to Wikipedia “Leonidas was renowned not only for his unsurpassed number of victories but for his versatility as a runner. His favored races required speed and strength in differing degrees; the stadion and the diaulos, 200-yard and 400-yard races respectively, were best suited to sprinters, while the hoplitodromos, a diaulos performed with bronze armor and shield, required more muscular strength and endurance.”

Congratulations! Micheal Phelps, the Leonidas of our time!

Superstar Simone Biles

#2016Olympics, America's Wondergirl Simone Biles, Simone Biles

It made sense that Buzz Aldrin, a man who has walked on the moon and lived without gravity, was in Rio to watch a teenage compatriot defy the earth’s forces like no other athlete in history.

The former astronaut cheered as the United States won the women’s gymnastics team title on Tuesday and saluted the special quintet, one of whom was the extraordinary Simone Biles.

Biles, the innovator, the ground-breaker, is a gymnast who comes along every other generation or so – a 19-year-old hailed as the most talented anyone has seen. She is already a superstar of her sport and, by the time the Olympic flame is extinguished, is likely to orbit the same space as the planet’s most recognisable stars.

This 4ft 8in gymnast from Texas, placed into foster care because of her mother’s struggles with drugs and alcohol and adopted when she was five by her biological grandparents, has already won two Olympic golds at her debut Games.

She could win five. She is expected to win five. She is almost untouchable.

This is a quote from BBC.com’s article on Simone Biles which we loved, and we wanted to share it with all of you… Biles is America’s Wondergirl! click here to read the whole article!

What Does The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) Do?

Tags

#teamUSA, History of the USOC, Team USA, USOC

The International Olympic Committee was founded in 1894, and that’s when the two constituent American members, James Edward Sullivan and William Milligan Sloane, formed a committee to organize the participation of U.S. athletes in the first modern Olympic Games which was held two years later in Athens, Greece. The formal committee, first named the American Olympic Association, was formed in November 1921 at the New York Athletic Club.

In 1940, the AOA changed its name to the United States of America Sports Federation and, in 1945, changed it again to the United States Olympic Association. In 1961, the name of the USOA was changed to its current name – United States Olympic Committee. In 1978, the USOC was appointed as the coordinating body for all Olympic-related athletic activity in the United States. “It specifically named the USOC coordinating body for athletic activity in the United States directly relating to international competition, including the sports on the programs of the Olympic, Paralympic, Pan American and Parapan American Games. ”

Unlike most other nations, the United States does not have a sports ministry. The USOC has two primary responsibilities in its oversight of Olympic and Paralympic sport in the United States. The first is to generate resources in support of its mission to help American athletes achieve competitive excellence. The second is to ensure resources are wisely and effectively used. The USOC moved its headquarters from New York City to Colorado Springs, Colo., on July 1, 1978.

The USOC does not get any federal funding from the American government, all the income to support the program comes from sponsorships and American citizens! To donate, please click here.

2016 olympics human interest stories, Lilly King Beats Julia Efimova, Rio 2016, US Women's swimming champions

Here’s a fine example of winning fair and square, congratulations Lilly King! King won the gold in the Women’s 100 meters breaststroke beating Russian rival Yulia Efimova. Lilly King was one person who was vocal about her objections Yulia Efimova competing in the Olympics with her history of doping. Most of you may have heard about the related Russian state-sponsored doping scandal.

therefore stopping her from winning the gold. Way to go Lilly King. Efimova had been suspended multiple times in the past for doping but was allowed to participate in the Olympics anyway!

Everybody remembers the winners in sports and fortunately for Lilly King and the cause of keeping sports clean and free of doping, Lilly King beat Yulia Efimova and changed the course of the story and how people will remember this event and her. She’s a shining example of doing what’s right and winning, short cuts don’t always take you to your goal in life and sports. King set the Olympic record with her time of one minute and 4.93 seconds and Efimova finished at one minute and 5.5 seconds.
