Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
| Maintaining the "status quo" is a losing strategy. Everything is dynamically
changing and for each of us and for every circumstance we all must progress with
time. |

Kevin's find of the day

 NASA
tests laser-powered Plane.(PDF)
This interesting BBC news story explains the development of a model aircraft that
stays aloft by having a laser beam fuel its electrically powered engine. |

 Trojans over Yorkton Harvest 4 - 3- Friday
October 10, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: An excellent game in Tisdale last night with
most of the scoring in the second period. Tisdale skate and Yorkton kept the action
going end to end throughout the game. This story consists of seven video clips showing
each goal in the game. To see these clips you need QuickTime
installed in your computer.

 We have found
the enemy and it is the United States: Americans attack the Chinese
weapon of undervalued Yuan- Friday
October 10, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The intention by United States and Israel to push for a regime change in
Syria is now taking shape and at the same time the economic forces are festering
in the United States as that country has identified the Chinese Yuan as the culprit
that is hurting its self abused trade deficit world position. This story gives you
the facts and the sources that will allow you to much more fully understand the economic
basis for this problem.

 Pilatus PC-12/45- Thursday
October 9, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: A large charter aircraft from Fort Lauderdale Florida was
parked at Tisdale airport yesterday. This nine passenger Swiss made, 1997 single
engine turbo prop is becoming extremely popular as a regional commuter and executive
aircraft. Its single engine lowers maintenance costs and gives this aircraft a remarkable
range and load carrying capability.

 Martin’s gas tax plan borrows
“liberally” but now “wholly” (too bad) from Canadian Taxpayers Federation Municipal
Roadway Trust- Thursday
October 9, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
Ottawa: The new deal that future prime minister Paul Martin is talking about is a
diluted adaptation of the Canadian Taxpayer Federation's propose set forth many years
ago as Mr. Martin and his government have continued to take taxes in the name of
road improvements and have used that money for general revenue.

 American Trade Deficit and Jobs Losses:
Econometric correlation to the undervalued Chinese currency 'yuan/renminbi'- Wednesday
October 8, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin / The Great Wall near Bejing: Economists and
political commentary on television love to use number to support their arguments
and points of view. Ultimately, this practice is truly misleading and ignores so
many contribution factors which, had they been considered, would have lead to quite
different conclusions. The United States is in financial trouble and blames
China for its woes when it is the cause of its own problems. This story explains
the missing parts that CNN's Lou Dobbs should have been able to explain, but
could not. As always, Mr. deSantis has provided you with some amazing references
that deal with this issue and what it means for the world economy.

Us Be Glad In It- Wednesday
October 8, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
Edmonton: With only a little sarcasim Ron Thornton points
out that with so many things that we can do little about we might as well try to
make the best of it.

 Trees for a Golden Age- Tuesday
October 7, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Today some spruce trees got their start in
the field by the Golden Age Centre. With spruce trees living several hundred years
this was an historic event.

 China's economic
experience: social tension, controlled privatization and sustained
economic growth- Tuesday
October 7, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: We are so often told that there is only one
way to success and that's the American way. This story and the referenced material
it relies upon suggests that quite the contrary is true. There are many ways for
a country huge or tiny to find success in its own way unique to its culture and traditions.

October 7, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
