Tipping Points as evidenced in global events are, in many ways, influenced by media. This just released, ground-breaking book GLOBAL EVENTS: TIPPING POINTS by Dr. Philip Gordon, PhD, details three case studies which were selected on the basis of common Tipping Point Attributes. Each involved media contagiousness and stickiness during their development and each arrived at a dramatic moment in time, which could be characterized by the phenomenon of Tipping Points.
Recent GLOBAL EVENTS: TIPPING POINTS Case Studies:
The 2008 Presidential Campaign of Barack Obama was chosen to examine a narrower scope and timeframe for the application of the analysis. The International Financial Crisis of 2007–2010, involves a broader data study period to identify trends and more complex issues. And the Climate Change study is included for consideration as the research and analysis revealed critical relationships between media impact and global events. As the issue of Climate Change is still evolving, Dr. Gordon provides a Global Events: Tipping Point Theory methodology for analyzing and predicting our planets’ most pressing global issue.

Review Comments:
"The genius of the formulation of Tipping Point Theory is that it takes explicit account of the role of social media and the internet at facilitating bifurcations and promoting dynamical instability. In effect, we have trimmed a few feet of tail off the kite. As a reader, I was informed and educated as to the factors which conspire to influence stability / instability in complex social systems. …the book does a good job of making sense of past bifurcations and dynamical instabilities, namely political instability, our perception of global climate change, and international economic crises… My compliments on a truly insightful Media Tipping Points."

"If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?" "Renew my body, set at 17."
-Allen Ginsberg
1988, Chicago:
Stare deeply into the watery blue eyes of an elderly and wheelchair bound man, pull back and you'll find yourself surrounded by the serenity of the manicured lawn of the Thousand Oaks Convalescent Hospital… his home for the past 30 years.
Physical examinations must be done periodically, as with all of the elderly. For David Jason, it's an opportunity to briefly escape the confines of this limited world. Today's ambulance ride with his nurse and confidant, Angela Ryan, to Lakeview General Hospital will be unlike any other;… it will alter his life forever… embarking on man-kind's most impossible dream… a second chance… to go through life again knowing what he knows now.
On the way to the hospital there is a terrible accident, a collision between the ambulance and a careening eighteen wheeler out of control! Angela is thrown clear, and David a concussion and deep lacerations; he is fortunate. Tests are done, and their conclusions are shocking.

And so the story starts…
AL and I had become fond of traveling around the different departments of France, as it was always an excuse for us to spend weekends and holidays away from Paris either at the beach or in some small french village that I've never heard of, being an American from California. And so, when we moved to the Burgundy wine region, it seemed like a great idea and the start of our new life together…" Mais, il etait tres different!"

"The Zodiac Project is a insightful, "wayfinding" technique for understanding our spiritual energy journey. Dr. Gordon presents his concept with poetry...a beautiful approach to the meaning and purpose of life. Few will be unmoved by his passion and eloquence."
THE ZODIAC PROJECT: A practical, spiritual method and application to finding your own "meaning of life". Wayfinding, Personal Journey, Energy Map...ZEN. I'd like you to keep an open mind, as this is not a traditional book. I'd like you to ask yourself to evaluate your entire life with this approach. More specifically, I'd like you to ask yourself if you are happy?
We are living in an age of chaos. Chaos defined as a condition of confusion, indicative of unorganized matter (energy) that existed before the creation of the cosmos. Simply by going about our lives, we find ourselves worn out and fatigued. Media, newspapers and television bombard us with information, and at work, we face problems and misunderstandings. The sources of our problems seem numerous and overwhelming.
This is likely to be the fact no matter where in the world we are likely to go. This tiny planet of ours is covered with economic conflict, domestic discord, religious wars, ethnic prejudice, environmental distress, and every other type of problem imaginable. And all the bad news about people suffering, people enjoying suffering, people getting richer, people getting poorer, the oppressed and the oppressors, reaches us in a matter of seconds from the opposite side of the globe.
Who? Might we ask, is responsible for all this suffering? The world is becoming an ever more divided, estranged, and complicated place to live. We are already up to our necks in chaos, but the world's troubles seem to be getting deeper and deeper. One thing we all have in common is that we are all looking for a solution. Everyone is looking for an answer-and it is an answer that is so simple and effective that it has heretofore eluded us.
So what is the cause of all this chaos? What is the center of it all? Perhaps this is an inevitable phenomenon. Though we all belong to the same species, if we live in different places and in different cultures, the way we think is bound to be different. And to make matters worse, most people have difficulty accepting things that are unlike the things around them. The result is a never-ending process of troubles and suffering. It would seem as long as people are people, any solution proposed is certain to come up short.
And so now we are back where we started. Can there ever be a single solution that can apply to all people on the globe, that everyone can be convinced of, and that is so simple that everyone can understand it?
An answer : "Energy"
I realized that this connection to energy applies to all people, and, what is in THE ZODIAC PROJECT book can be applied to everyone, all over the world. I believe it is also a way to start to see the way that people should live their lives. - Our survival depends on it!"

Known as San Francisco's King of Swing, Philip "Flip" Gordon: composer, author, educator and performing jazz artist. Completed performance and compositional conservatories in both US and Europe. Leader of The Out of Nowhere quartet and quintet (with vocals), the ambassadors of traditional jazz swing standard. A classy performing act, Philip "Flip" Gordon and his Out of Nowhere Band plays San Francisco (and now in Paris), many of the five-star hotels, festivals and the club swing scene and specializes in corporate parties…from background cocktail music to dance floor favorites. Philip is a true crooner and his Out of Nowhere Band has an extensive list of corporate and private clients. Look for Jazz Compositions: Volume 3: to be released soon!
Secrets d'Histoire contains jazz compositions written for the Zodiac Project (Volume 1: Philip "Flip" Gordon, PhD: Jazz Compositions: Zodiac Project: Parallel Universe) and adapted from earlier projects while playing music and leading bands both in San Francisco, California and Paris, France.
Philip "Flip" Gordon's musical journey carried him from United States to Europe over a span of 30 years. He performed, studied and played music with some of the very best and talented musicians of his era. Some of which to name a few: Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Mark Levine, Art Farmer, Harold Land, Joe Lovano, Rufus Reid, Joe Thornton, David Lieberman and also recognizing his influences: Ben Webster, Stan Getz, Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane.
Originally self-taught, with an active career in jazz clubs, he later studied and attended jazz schools and music conservatories, including: The Blue Bear School of Music and the Jazz School in Northern California, and the American School Modern Music, Scala Conturum Conservatoire and ARPEJ in Paris.
He has performed with his groups, the Out of Nowhere Bands (quartets to sextets), and individually, including: television, radio, music festivals, corporate events, weddings and five-star hotels (Four Seasons, George V, Hotel Triton, etc.) throughout California and Europe. His groups have included outstanding musicians and vocalists such as: Jacqui Naylor, Frankye Kelly, Millicent Woods, David Hartman, Jeff Cressman, Marlin B. Greene, Roscoe Gallo, Jeremy Cohen, etc. (the list goes on and on, too numerous to name here).
Flip was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1953, and choose a full-time music journey in 1994 while living in Palo Alto California; where he was "doubling" his profession with design. Most of the compositions in this Volume 2 follow the principle ideas that culminated in Volume 1, yet open a wider conceptual compositional range for improvisation. (While living in Paris, he was surrounded by musical "phenomena"; being exposed to many great artists and musicians that were part of his everyday life in the Latin Quarter – just next door to where Miles Davis lived in the 60's).
Two of these compositions: Slowly Going Mad and Caught between a Rock and a Hard Place , are musical interpretations of how one perceives the journey through life. Dream Funk , Metro Blues and Secrets are alignments between the conscious and subconscious reality. Why Don't You Speak Whale to Me? illustrating the connection between telling a story and how it is eventually interpreted when heard throughout the world (similar to the way whales communicate). Blue When Sunny Gets , Cous-cous for Coco , and Three-Legged Dog are impressions about the events and occurrences of daily events in the neighborhoods, parks and streets of Paris. Spring can Hang you up the Most and Skating in Central Park are two of his adapted favorite performance standards (springtime always was his preferred season, and New York… well, you know).
To understand the context for these compositions, it would be useful to refer to: Volume 1: Philip "Flip" Gordon: Jazz Compositions: Zodiac Project: Parallel Universe, as a point of departure. Visiting the website at www.bluematrix.org may also be helpful.
Enjoy!

This upcoming Blue Matrix Publications book will focus on the chronology and geographical life of Charles Baudelaire. A journey through Paris during his lifetime and the particular effect these important Parisian places and events had on this writer's life and work. Naturally, this journey will inevitably include references to the many with numerous influential artists of that era as well as the locations where these events occurred.
Excerpts of his actual writings and prose are included in the chapters that follow, to draw parallels and perhaps illustrate what Baudelaire was experiencing in Paris during this time in history and his life. Each chapter will include a locator map and outline the relevance of the various sites to his life journey.
The Paris during the era that Baudelaire lived and wrote certainly influenced his art. But the city of Paris did more than color his mood or direct his attention to the selection of detail or subjects for his work. In many instances, Paris and the people, and his feelings towards them, became his subject matter. Here presented in this book, is the cityscape of Paris then and now, with the precise identification of the places he worked, lived, played, rested, drank and ultimately influenced this literary legend.

A film by Michelle Lee
What does a dancer do? Where does she go when she no longer belongs to the stage?
An aging ballerina looks for a place to belong to after leaving a ballet company. How will she fit into the world? Her love of dance remains within her, but what does she do about her dreams of the stage? Ballet is the only place she thinks she'll fit in. She's most happy when she's dancing. Thirty-three years old may sound old for a ballet dancer, but it's not that old. Or is it?
Pirouette explores this journey of a lost ballerina trying to find her identity. The film's original score, original dance scenes and dramatic imagery from the San Francisco Bay Area combine to bring this touching mood piece to life.

OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN: TIPPING POINT
Media Analysis and Influence
Author: Dr. Philip Gordon, PhD
Available now on Amazon.com and Kindle.com:
On October 28, nine days before the 2012 US presidential elections, the east coast was devastated by what was termed a “perfect storm”, Hurricane Sandy. 100+ people died 50 billion USD in damages, communities destroyed and millions without services…
As in 2008 (with the International Financial Crisis), Barack Obama again benefited from the “something else” of global proportions and a media convulsion that guaranteed his epidemic Tipping Point victory.
Presidential Campaigns are in many ways, influenced by media. This just released, ground-breaking book by Dr. Philip Gordon, PhD, details the Obama Presidential Campaign 2007–2008, which is analyzed on the basis of Tipping Point Theory Attributes and Characteristics.
Dr. Gordon provides a methodology and parameters for analyzing and predicting presidential campaigns and other global issues.
“The genius of the formulation of this book is that it takes explicit account of the role of social media and the internet at facilitating bifurcations and promoting dynamical instability. In effect, we have trimmed a few feet of tail off the kite.
As a reader, I was informed and educated as to the factors which conspire to influence stability/instability in complex social systems …the book does a good job of making sense of past bifurcations and dynamical instabilities, namely political instability, our perception of global issues… my compliments on a truly insightful book.”
