Live below the line Global Poverty Project

Thanks for following me on the journey.

From 16 - 20 May I'll be living on $1.50 per day for food 5 days to help raise awareness for issues of extreme poverty in our world.

1.4 BILLION people are forced to live every day on $1.50. Food, drink, health expenses, housing, transportation, education - all living costs must be covered by this amount. It's a feat impossible to imagine - but it's the reality for nearly one quarter of the world's population. I mainly feel the PAIN for KIDS,who don't ask for this,but are trapped in it.

Population U.S. 311,239,062 World 6,914,666,412. "You do the Math"

Your support is important, not just in money but in mind. (and a Hardy meal on day 6 would be nice)

But more importantly . Between these days ,please stop & think...

Every time you open your wallet to buy food,open your mouth to take a bite of food,every time you smell food. Think about not having it,not just not having it, but not being able too have it.

Thanks for stopping & helping.

Just a much as I need your help I need a BUZZ please pass this to others.

Post on your Facebook etc

Cheers Peter

Heros Please pick wisely

People.I am sad today. Because there are hundreds maybe thousands of people out there who looked up to the wrong hero.
What does it make of us as people when we look up to someone.When we turn to a hero. Only you can answer that. But I would like people to think before they put some up on the petter stood. What does the person stand for,are they really worth while to be the hero. Will we look back and remember them as a true hero. A person that change our world or just some that was thinking of them self.
Best Regards
Peter

California Traffic Tickets Fines

HUGE California Traffic Tickets Fines Effective.01/06/2011

...PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW & SAVE THEM...

Please be extremely careful in your driving and car registration & insurance matters. State of California is broke and they are trying hard to squeeze all of us hard to collect money.

Effective immediately, if you do not stop at the red light, be ready to pay $436 in fines or if you pass a school bus with flashing red signals, you will be charged $616. The state of California is going for blood, so be extra careful in driving, You cannot afford messing with them. I have been hearing that Highway Patrols are under pressure to issue a lot more tickets than last year with at least 30% increase in fines over 2009, so beware of radar guns, highway and traffic cameras installed everywhere and the tougher enforcement of parking rules.
Just for your info, the next time you park in the handicapped zone, even for a minute, you will be looking at almost $ 1000 in parking tickets , so it'd better be worth it.

California needs money, so pay close attention to the rules of the road!

Facebook by Peter Bruce

Some of the astounding numbers surrounding the Palo Alto social-networking giant in 2010.

This worries me. Why... Facebook is worth $45 billion and 96% of people on Face book don't pay a read cent. Is this what life has become,so much for so little. If you want heat in your house,turn the heat on and get a power bill,want gas in your car, fill it up and pay,well pay first. Want a newspaper, buy it and read it.. Along with the likes of Skype,pandora and others it's all becoming free. What message does this send to the people of the world.

Goods & services don't cost. And I can get what I want,when I want it free.
WTF this blog is free & and I am using it.

Question...is this a good thing for the human race ... Let me know what you think

AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PASS THIS TO OTHERS

If the social network were a country, it would be the world's third largest.

1. China 1,330,141,295

2. India 1,173,108,018

3. Facebook 500,000,000

4. United States 310,232,863

5. Indonesia 242,968,342


Source: U.S. Census Bureau

China 1.3 billion

India 1.1 billion

Facebook .5 billion

Estimated value:

$45.21 billion

Face book is still a closely held company, although there is constant speculation that it will go public. One measure of the company's value comes from Sharespost.com, which tracks the sale of privately held stock. According to Sharespost, Facebook is valued at $45.21 billion.

That puts it between Metlife Inc. ($43.79 billion) and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. ($45.27 billion).

A treasure trove of content Facebook members share more than 30 billion pieces of content (Web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photos, etc.) each month. The average user creates 90 pieces of content in a month.

The Library of Congress, below, which dates to 1800, houses more than 144 million items, including books, newspapers, audio, video, maps, sheet music and photographs.

8.93% of all hits

7.19% of all hits

According to Experian Hitwise, in 2010 Facebook passed Google to become the top-visited website in the United States.

Facebook accounted for 8.93 percent of all hits from January to November, while Google had 7.19 percent.

1. Facebook.com

2. Google.com

3. Mail.Yahoo.com

4. Yahoo.com

5. YouTube.com

And the word "Facebook" was the most searched term for the second year in a row, but in 2010, "Facebook Login" was No. 2.

The movie "The Social Network" with Jesse Eisenberg, left, the acclaimed film with Hollywood's version of how Mark Zuckerberg, top, founded Facebook, has reeled in $92.6 million since its Oct. 1 release, according to BoxOffice. com.

Membership milestones WOW...

February 2004:

Facebook founded


December 2004:

1 million


December 2005:

5.5 million


December 2006:

12 million


April 2007:

20 million


August 2008:

100 million


April 2009:

200 million


September 2009:

300 million


February 2010:

400 million


July 2010:

500 million


Estimated number of members: 600 million


Facebook's worldwide membership mushroomed from 150 million in January 2009 to 500 million in July, which was the last time the company released an official figure. It announces only the number of active users, those who log on to the site at least once a month.

With the number of monthly active users increasing by about 18.5 million per month in the last year and a half, Facebook is expected to have 600 million members soon. What I think 3 to 5 years there will be another bigger type of Face book,The year 2000,who knew of google,it was all Yahoo,now take a look.
