Origami and decorative boxes

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 10:50:00 GMT

She sends me good ideas from time to time and recently sent a suggestion that not only is a good gift idea but also can be used to creatively recycle old catalogs and sales flyers.
She has made origami cranes that can be used as Christmas tree or other decorations and also made the unique gift boxes to put them in.
I didn't think we needed any more paper going into landfill and I wanted to see if I could come up with another way of reusing the paper from catalogs.

AGIA Revisited: Former State Economist Takes a Shot at Plan

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 19:47:00 GMT

Jul. 10--Roger Marks, a recently retired senior economist in the state Department of Revenue, has raised significant questions about the validity of the Palin administration's analysis of the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act, or AGIA, a state incentive law intended to spur development of a natural gas pipeline.
The pipeline and AGIA have been in the news lately after the announcement that pipeline company TransCanada Corp. and North Slope producer ExxonMobil Corp. partnered to conduct preliminary engineering and studies on a gas pipeline.
TransCanada, based in Calgary, Alberta, is the holder of a license issued under AGIA, which entitles it to a $500 million state subsidy.

Dubai's Economy Undergoing Structural Shift Toward Long-Term Sustainability, Says Dr Omar Bin Sulaiman

Sun, 31 May 2009 19:51:00 GMT

May 31--The composition of Dubai's economy will undergo a structural shift over the next few years toward sustainable long-term sectors such as transportation, healthcare, education, tourism and financial services, Dr Omar Bin Sulaiman, Governor of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), told members of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry on Thursday.
"This shift in the relative importance of various sectors of the economy is, in fact, a central component of the Dubai Strategic Plan 2015, but it's happening more quickly than envisioned by the plan, largely due to the impact of the global crisis," said Bin Sulaiman during the Dubai Chamber's quarterly Business Breakfast, its second of 2009.
"Additionally, because many of these sectors impact residents' quality of life, the shift currently underway will further enhance Dubai as a place to live, especially alongside the government's continued support of culture and the arts," Bin Sulaiman told the participants.

Jan. 22--If there is one thing that will turn today's recession into a full-blown depression, it's more rises in unemployment like last month's.
Joblessness, though, threatens catastrophe, breaking marriages and causing lasting damage to the social fabric.
Last week the Personal Accounts Delivery Authority proudly announced "the launch of its procurement process for the personal accounts scheme administration services".

Faith Rests in Hybrids, Electric

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 13:49:00 GMT

Jan. 11--Beaten down by a global recession and propped up by government money, American automakers will call out a vision of an electric-powered future during the next two days of the auto show in Detroit that's more about survival than sales.
General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC will show off new electric concept vehicles, while Ford Motor Co. will tout its trials of plug-in hybrid SUVs and plans for battery-powered vans and sedans.
Such models alone can't cure Detroit's massive financial ills, and touting hyper-efficient yet expensive and low-volume vehicles when nervous customers have turned toward cheaper alternatives -- when they shop at all -- might seem like another industry misstep.
