Model-T at the age of 3D and Internet

December 2011 – The internet and all other technology based means of communication have reached a state where they cannot simply satisfy the imagination and expectations of people who are up to date with the latest improvements and innovations made in this domain and who demand more than two dimensional images and information. For that matter, 3D technology has been introduced to the internet, after it has previously hit the cinematographic industry.

How One Dollar Lights Up Africa – The success of the WakaWaka Solar Lamp

In the beginning there was light for all – and a little later there was electric light for, well, only some of us: 1.5 billion people still live in darkness. Dutch startup Off-Grid Solutions makes an end to developing countries’ killing kerosene dependency. They want their high-tech, low-cost WakaWaka solar LED lamp to light up Africa ‘like a Christmas tree’.

Via Kickstarter.com, the general public is now enthusiastically pre-ordering WakaWaka´s for 35 dollars each. The minimal support to contribute to their mission is one dollar. Thanks to this innovative way of crowdfunding, WakaWaka grows at the speed of light .And with it, the dream of providing all Africans with a sustainable light solution becomes more real by the minute.

1.5 billion people live off-grid. They depend on kerosene fuel for their basic lighting needs. Annually millions of children suffer severe burns from accidents with kerosene lamps. The toxic fumes cause even more health problems. World Bank reports that each day 780 million women and children inhale the equivalent of two packs of cigarettes as a result of indoor air pollution.

Fuels for lighting take up to 20% of income of people who try to survive on less than $2 a day. This way, the poor stay poor. But there is light at the end of the tunnel: WakaWaka solar LED light.

The WakaWaka (‘Shine Bright’ in Swahili) solar lamp uses the latest in patented solar technology developed by Intivation, allowing for superior charging in any weather conditions.

Each day of free solar charging gives 16 hours of decent reading light. It has different light intensities and fits on a bottle, stimulating recycling and opening up opportunities for joint promotions. Innovative distribution methods will reach even the most remote rural areas. Various accessories (cell phone chargers, radios, etc.) are already in development, which will further enhance livelihood and help people get out of poverty.

Co-founder Camille van Gestel: ‘I genuinely believe that if you can make a difference, you must. I have never done anything with so much passion. The support and inquiries we are receiving for WakaWaka from all over the world are as stimulating as they are heartwarming. We are doing the right thing.’

Let’s hope this new bright light spreads fast, for all and everybody. LED there be light.

FRA highlights Positive Forestry Report from UK

A new report highlighting the strength of the forestry market in the UK over the past year has been highlighted by Forestry Research Associates (FRA) as another reason to invest in timber.

Bainbridge Island, WA, December 06, 2011 – A new report highlighting the strength of the forestry market in the UK over the past year has been highlighted by Forestry Research Associates (FRA) as another reason to invest in timber.

The report from property firm Savills and UPM Tilhill, published earlier this week, claims that timber prices are expected to be largely unaffected by the wider economic crises taking place in the Eurozone and the UK. “This report adds weight to the argument for putting some cash into alternatives that are less likely to correlate with wider economic trends,” stated Peter Collins, an analyst with FRA, a research and analysis consultancy that has a special interest in forestry investment and sustainable forestry.

The report highlights the rise in value of forested land in the UK, showing that purchasing forest land is a good way to diversify an investment portfolio to protect it against risk. This is particularly relevant at a time when stocks and shares are so volatile and investors are looking for safe havens for their money over the long and medium term.

This is according to FRA, which supports various forms of forestry investment, from buying forested land in the UK as a property investment, to buying areas of plantation land in Brazil, through managed forestry firms like Greenwood Management.

George McRobbie the forestry operations director at UPM Tilhill said, “We recorded a surge in forest values with an average of £4,650 per stocked hectare being attained, the highest level since our survey started and 34 per cent, some £1,174, up on 2010.”

He added, “This is equivalent to an annualized increase of 13.7 per cent since 2003. Optimism is clearly strong and overall the market is rising, backed by clear investor confidence and strengthening timber prices.”

Savills added that these value increases, along with the tax advantages of investing in timber, will continue to attract people to timber as an asset class.

SMJ Property Group Acquires Three Building Multi Family Portfolio in Jersey City for $1.57 Million

SMJ Property Group, a family owned and operated New Jersey real estate investment company has announced the purchase of three separate apartment properties totaling 28 units in the Heights section of Jersey City.

Jersey City, NJ (USA), Tuesday – December 06, 2011 — SMJ Property Group ( http://www.SMJPropertyGroup.com ), a family owned and operated New Jersey real estate investment company has announced the purchase of three separate apartment properties totaling 28 units in the Heights section of Jersey City according to Steven Porada, head of acquisitions at the company.

The first building located on South Street is an 8 unit building featuring all one bedroom apartments and commanded a purchase price of $434,000.

The second building, located on Sherman Avenue also has 8 units, all one bedroom apartments, and commanded a purchase price of $449,000.

The third building, located on Hutton Street has 12 units, has all 2 bedroom apartments and commanded a purchase price of $687,000.

All three properties were purchased from by the same owner who is a private real estate investor.

Investment specialist Steven Porada, assisted by brothers Michael Porada and Jonathan Porada, headed the transaction.

“It was a great transaction for both buyer and seller. The seller benefited from the ease and convenience of a single buyer for all three properties. We as the buyers were able to simultaneously close these three transactions, efficiently adding these properties to our portfolio” says Michael Porada.

The three new mortgages were originated from the NJ branch of a New York based community bank at a rate of 5.25%, fixed for 5 years and amortized over 30.

This transaction brings SMJ Property Group to its fifth Jersey City acquisition and their sixth acquisition in Hudson County for the year 2011.

“We have a few closings pending, one similar to this one in which we are purchasing a four building portfolio from a single owner in Harrison, NJ. In addition to that, we have more deals in the pipeline that we are confident will be closed on before the years end. Investors entertaining the idea of selling their Hudson County multi-family properties are encouraged to contact us” added Steven Porada.

Child’s Birth Inspires Book about Unbounded Love

Inspired by the birth of her adopted son, Caleb, author Melissa Ivey Staehli wrote I Love You to the Moon, a new children’s book about unbounded love.

Houston, TX (USA), Tuesday – December 06, 2011 — Inspired by the birth of her adopted son, Caleb, author Melissa Ivey Staehli wrote I Love You to the Moon, a new children’s book about unbounded love.

“I am so thankful and blessed that Caleb’s birth mother chose life for him. The love I have for my son is what inspires me to write,” Staehli said.

A simple, poetic lullaby, I Love You to the Moon is a book that any loved one can read to a young child to let them know how much they are loved.

“Born out of a mother’s love for her child, this book will bless both the reader and child,” said Halo International Publisher Lisa Umina. “Sharing unbounded love with a child benefits our world forever.”

A native of the Akron, Ohio area, author Melissa Staehli grew up being close to her brother and four cousins, children of her mother’s twin. She attended Chapel Hill Christian elementary school where her husband, Jared, also was educated as a child. “Acquainted only” according to the writer, throughout school, the couple reconnected in their early twenties and married in 1993. Jared earns a living as a videographer/editor/producer and Melissa was employed as a nail technician when Caleb miraculously arrived in their lives.

“His birth mother generously decided to let a family adopt him,” Staehli explained, “and we had already started the adoption process through Korea, never knowing that a domestic adoption was meant to be.”

Staehli had written several poems over the years, including “one about God giving me a baby boy,” she said. I Love You to the Moon is basically another personal poem, one inspired by her faith in God and true love for her child, she said.

Staehli is available for book signings, readings and hopes to share her book throughout the community. She hopes to remind people “that we all should be thankful everyday of the year, because we have so many blessings.”

The author is working on her second book, Charlie’s Gingerbread House, also to be published by Halo Publishing International.

To reach author Melissa Staehli, call 330-322-6357 or e-mail melissa@joyfulbooks.com. To learn more about the book, or to order, please visit: http://www.ILoveYouToTheMoon.com or http://www.halopublishing.com
