- I have also been shut out of my email use for over 16 weeks straight (4 months). And had to purchase several phones to replace the stolen phones and information.
- That is in addition to spending several hours travelling to and from the only physical location on Oahu in Hawaii State in the USA for equipment that did not work to capacity.
- AT&T service with CIA & FISA allows variety of people within your organization to also locate me, ie., cold engineers & US Military, as well as the CIA & NSA.
- And, in some instances I was additionally physically harmed; despite the sexist attitudes of officers in the Honolulu Police Department who may have been involved in legal State human trafficking till 2015.

Growing up Half Japanese: my mom's friends in PA
My mothers American born friends were the kinds of people who invited her to everything and their kids weddings and took huge amounts of money as gifts. They in turn never sent a birthday, congratulations, or any gift or showed up to my or my brother's graduation. They stole from us, mocked me and my brother, and were horrible in general. I seriously don't call that friendship.
My mother also afraid to call me for fear of my being killed by NA Illuminati types and or my father and his friends ex- military or not.

DHS harsh in Cities, confiscate property
Philadelphia, PA - tightened security over a decade ago to compete with terrorist actions. Everyone who DJ were talking about the severity of having audience members carrying drugs into concerts and losing everything to unrelated strangers. in Honolulu, HI - they say that different syndicate members hold the properties where smuggled narcotics that infiltrate Hawaii are sold. Despite the open fact that there is a high percentage of new construction going on;- it remains a party favor of Aloha to the imported construction workers from different parts of the USA.
wondering how the current Honolulu behaviors affect the following:
-Building Construction integrity-
-U.S. Gov. Not possessing the properties
-Terrorism with an open gateway from Asians
-is Hawaii syndicate the same as US Feds?

Viewpoint: Piano performances
"performers-reality-groundrules"
Where can you find a guide to "ground rules" of being a pianist? Do audiences today and interested persons have any idea of how difficult the actual work is to arrange a song, write a show, improvise to the atmosphere, or even accompany someone on a demanding duo? And then, most people take pianists to be inept business people and "too nice" so they will often times, in person, jerk you around with the conditions of your participation. Once a collegue of mine at a non-profit school (who hated me and was a female over 300lbs heavier than me) tried forcing me to play a show without paying me a deposit for my time. She even left a twenty dollar check from someone I never met on the floor for me to pick up behind her. Needless to say, I showed up to the event and asked her for the deposit check (a minimum of $130 for back then) and she said no she didn't have money for me from any of her 40 students. I walked out refusing to play since they were prepared with a boom box and recordings they were familiar with. Mind that there was no rehearsal. Alot of people, even collegues will try to bend you out of shape by soaking your time and running you into poverty when you could work on something more financially solid or even fun. If they aren't your favorite person, don't do it. I had a collegue violinist then of the Philadelphia Orchestra who brought a technically demanding, modern and rare piano accompaniment to me just for fun. We rehearsed it within a week. After the rehearsal she said to me "I gave this to you because I knew you could do it faster than anyone." I was happy to take the compliment and hear the piece aloud for the first time. Unless the person is appreciating your music and artistry, make sure you impress that you work for pay and aren't the "minority" to be walked all over. The general public doesn't "appreciate" (depreciates) such things unless they invest in it. If so, leave and find better people who will appreciate your musicianship.Here are some general guidelines that the average Classical music professional follows as soloist:
allow minimum of 3 months time to book:
- Piano concert (for some musicians up to 1 year) $3000+ per concert
- Live music for a Wedding and commisioned Wedding march ($250 to $6000 average-- Special: if you want a celebrity like Elton John you'll need much much more!)
- Background music for Parties of 1.5hrs to 3 hrs max ($250-$600+)
- Accompanist for an entire Broadway show already written (price varies- compare to accompanist price below)
- Professional commissioned works range from $500-$16000+ on average (for 1min to 25 min. of music)
- Accompanist Pianist- $130 to $500 per song/piece - 1 rehersal plus performance
- Soloist Pianist- $50- $100+ per classical solo piano piece (ie., at a church service)
- Piano Instructor- $20 to $500/hr - Many good studios and schools expect a student to pay tuition and commit for a Quarter up front. This spares the instructor accountant fees and the student, wasted lesson time to collect funds rather than learn. Usually @ $20 the student and/or teacher are still trying to memorize where the keys are on the instrument. $100+ is a teacher more dedicated to creating a high quality recording artist or live performer.
And, as an accompanist, don't feel "bad" for your vocalist. They can pay you. Vocal coach/teachers today charge on between $50 to $500/hr. Any decent recording quality professional vocal teacher/coach will be $200+.
Viewpoint: Philadelphia to Hawaii piano instruction
First published Dec. 28, 2012
Aloha...is from a land of Hawaiian Ukulele music. Ukelele music is popular among the local Hawaiian families and is frequently used at weddings and celebrations. Aloha land is 4920 miles away from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the East Coast of the United States where traditional Christian weddings are plentiful. Philadelphia, PA where Rachmaninoff hisself conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra, where the legendary piano instructors Gary Graffman & the Sokoloffs reigned for over 50 years as the best piano instructors on the planet through the 2000 millenium. Though I was adventurous as a prior student of a Hungarian piano instructor who was a collegue of Zoltan Kodaly where local folk music was embraced, the Hawaiian attitude is anything except harsh.
I was in a condusive traditional Classical piano environment and learned piano in a very strong Christian based community. One where every church has at least one grand piano, if not two or more grand pianos and electric organ or common pipe organ. I grew up with the general knowledge that Bach and many of the great keyboard Composers were supported by the Church and wrote sacred as well as secular music, with a pethora of churches and institutions where I could perform on a variety of period instruments frequently. In diminished comparison, Hawaii barely houses an electric keyboard at any church, let alone 1 studio upright or pipe organ.
In the current 21st century economy many Hawaii churches have "gotten rid of" their keyboard instruments due to maintenance costs and vandalism from an obtrusive population. Before moving to Hawaii, I took my east coast musical environment for granted and wished the general population was understanding of my Japanese heritage. However, most of the Christian community included everyone in the USA who has traditionally hated the Japanese;- including newly formed Korean specific churches. So I continually befell physical attacks, verbal criticism, and blatant discrimination on the East coast for most of my 30 some years of life.
So, I move to Hawaii and am inundated with a severe local attitude that is against piano. They say I have "too high makamaka" think I'm better than them. I worked at piano because I loved it and my talent put me through college with a scholarship.
The other day, a local parent mentioned to me that his child was learning a popular "Traditional Christian wedding piece" on their keyboard on her own. This is the first time that I have gotten to explain that these are normal pieces, that many children on the mainland learn to play at their family weddings. It's difficult for me to believe that the culture in Hawaii is so vastly different from the East Coast USA that these things are so "foreign" to local Hawaii. Especially since I see the religious rosary with crosses dangling from many rear view mirrors, and other Christian car markings. Just as most mainland people could not explain the differences and nuances of Hawaiian musical performances because they don't know the Hawaiian traditional song repertoire;- most Hawaiian Islander natives could not begin to explain the subtleties of any Classical piano repertoire performance.

for a Fair Philadelphia & Pennsylvania
Several thoughts come to my mind, since Trump has proven hisself to an ex-workforce.
There are good people in Philadelphia. My estimates are from a low income & temporary workforce starting @$9/hr over a 1 month period and includes over 3,000 Philadelphians.
What Philadelphia's low income crowd needs;-
- FREE State or City transportation to be more reliable workers.
- Benefits to employers who provide work transportation to workers who make less than $36,000 a year including commissions.
- Accessible Childcare that keeps children out of gang-fire zones to and from childcare.
- Make it SAFE to go to work, & being late for being safe isn't punishable by firing;- even a schedule adjustment should be considered rather than firing based on limited Company hours.
- Adult English Literacy courses to fill out job applications and simple tests.
- Being Cash poor & not liquid, and having 100,000's in Assets does not make them eligible to apply for low income scholarship. They should be fined for putting in such an application.
- The rich are taking opportunities from the poor in scholarships by" divorcing" to hide funds and lower the overall Household income so their children qualify for State Grants and financial need Scholarships.
- Paying someone, like myself, for a 26+hr payweek makes them an Employee who is entitled to benefits.
- There needs to be Human Rights Commissions that are accessible and within 12 miles of any jurisdiction.
- Adverse Discrimination against mixed-race & mixed Nationality marriages and families needs to harshly punished at a federal level. The DOD & 1% communities are creating international incidents that ignite more terrorism by being "too patriotic" of the Trump kind.

The word "ON";- American Comprehension Vs. Demonstration of "ON"
Being that they all stopped and restarted the hot tub in a 3 minute span, I concluded that NONE of them actually could demonstrate reasonable cognition that the HOT TUB WAS ON IN THE FIRST PLACE. And, this was across an demographic of diverse backgrounds who could afford to pay dues at a gym.
Then, I think about more complex issues and realize why I am drowning in the USA social environment of Ignorance.
Conversely, there are people in the USA who I have hired (thank you Philadelphia!!!) in the past who were not Immigrants, clearly had little literacy, yet were able to perform a simple task such as setting tables with an array of cutlery, negotiate transportation, as well as more comprehension and demonstration of much more complex functions. These people were not able to afford gym membership to my knowledge, as in the above "ON" incident.
