Liquidity and increased share price,
Management and employee motivation,
Enhanced image/prestige,

The Optical Illusion about this floating boat is a very nice picture. The boat appears to be floating in thin air!
The trick here is the shadow, which is normally how you tell how far off the ground it is. Is the shadow on top or underwater?

I of course, don't mean the DAVE MATTHEWS BAND or PHISH (or for the era this album came out, the GRATEFUL DEAD) approach, but taking the guitar/Hammond organ approach that the band explored on "Inside" and more concentrate on lengthy jams.

Recently, one of the major banks in India announced the introduction of floating rate car loan. Floating rate option till now was only available for the home loans of longer tenure. But, is it a viable option for the short tenure, 3 to 5 year loans to own a car?To draw any conclusion, we have to look at the interest rate differential available between the floating rate and fixed rate loan for purchasing a car. The differential is 50 basis points (100 basis points make 1%). That is, if the borrower can get a fixed rate car loan from that Bank for 14%, the floating rate will be available to you at 13.5% rate of interest. Monthly outgoing for the fixed rate loan will remain the same for the entire loan tenure. Whether the interest rate move up to 16% or it moves down to 12%, the monthly outgo

There is a simple trick about this optical illusion, but first take a look these two images below and see what they look like to you. Do those balls appear to be on the ground on the first and up on the second image? They sure do if you orientate by the shadow below the balls. We can't mistrust the shadow, or can we? Yes we can. Now look at the shadow position on the first and the second image and you'll see that balls stand on exactly the same place they did on the first image, but the shadow is moved. isn't it?

A Dutch architect specializes in designing floating structures that can provide refuge for homes and hotels along coastal cities. From NPR:Dubai has plenty of desert, but it also has miles of coastline along the Persian Gulf. They've built loads of artificial islands offshore, but they've run out of sand.[Paul van de Camp] has given them a new option: floating islands.He's just gotten the green light to begin building a string of islands, each in the shape of an Arabic letter. If you were to look at the proposed islands from an airplane or an orbiting satellite, they would spell a bit of Arabic poetry written by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the prime minister of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Dubai.Image Found Here

Maybe you're a seasoned traveler who has been reluctant to try a cruise vacation in the past. People who have never taken a cruise have all kinds of reasons for not trying it. Maybe all you need is the perfect excuse! If you can't think of a good one, here are six ready-made excuses for booking a cruise vacation right now.1. I'm saving the environment. Where else can you find everything you could possibly want to do, see, hear, and eat all in one place? Take all-inclusive Caribbean cruises, for example. You'll never have to get into a carbon-emitting car to go to the casino, to the gym, to get your hair done, or out for a night of dancing. When you get to your destination, you'll find sunshine, sand and surf from the first moment you step off the ship.2. I like saving money on a vacation p

Floating fountains, in previous centuries, were reserved for the majestic places of the world like royal residences and buildings of state. But in the 21st century, floating fountains grace public spaces like city and state parks, or even shopping falls. Floating fountains are no longer for the exclusive enjoyment of the rich and famous. If your property has a pond or lake in which you would like to install a floating fountain, as a way to add to your home’s elegance and unique character, you will be able to find what you need by doing Internet search of the online home specialty products stores.

If you are looking for a vacation like no other, then you definitely will want to consider taking a cruise. The choices are endless. You can choose a shorter cruise, such as a three day cruise or if you like you can choose a much longer cruise consisting of ten or more days. Cruise ships offer all inclusive, luxury vacations that are sure to please people of all ages. In fact the fact that they are all inclusive is one of the most appealing features of a cruise. You simply pay one price and everything else is included. However, if you choose to do an excursion while on land, you will need to pay an additional charge.

The absolute worst thing I could have wanted to see. I will start with how I always am looking for palm seeds. Bismarkia and Foxtails are tough to find in my area because they have not been here for that long, but I thought I had scored. A big mature female with a male not as old a few houses away had been fruiting. I talked to the man who lived at the house and asked him if I could collect some seeds. Of course the man said. So I filled my pockets with seeds off of the ground. I got home started to clean and soak them. This is what happened. Every single last 1 of them floated not 1 sinker. So once again I am looking for that 1 Bismarkia fruiting with viable seeds.Come Watch my Plants Grow
ok - time to flagellate a deceased equine! (Beat a dead horse)The two big news items of the week were the Core Consumer Price Index remaining steady and the Philadelphia Fed Index worsening significantly. The implications of the Core CPI was not lost on traders showing inflation is still a possible risk, The Philly Fed Index though just a regional index correlates to how the national index will come out on better than 70% accuracy.Overall - the FNMA 5.5% 30 year bond went down almost 80 bps. This translates into rates worsening by .8% (If last week a 30 year mortgage could be had for 5.5%, then this week it would be 6.3%)The stock market on the other hand (other than having 5 fingers) gained less than 50 points.

My nine year old sleeps with the covers pulled over his head. I just woke him up a little bit ago so he could see the lunar eclipse. In his groggy state he asked me what would happen when Mars collides with the moon in ten years. I gathered that he read this interesting prediction somewhere. Perhaps a science fiction journal of some type. I don’t think we need to worry about that now, says I, ever so gently. His eyes gradually widen as he watches the earth’s shadow creep along the big cheese. “Wow! Mommy that’s cool!” He exclaims. Then he bounds back into bed. Up go the covers, like the earth’s shadow passing over the moon. I snuggle in with him, like a spoon, and his bare shoulder smells so good to me that I press my lips against its sweet softness.

Anyways this disposable kinda gadget is a unique thing to try.

Floating Boathouse and Sleeping Cottage, on an island in Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada. Back in June I wrote a post on this floating boathouse, and I was lamenting that I had no idea who designed and built it, nor even where it was. Troll around the Interweb long enough, it’s amazing what you’ll find…. Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample of MOS designed this floating boathouse and the sleeping cottage as part of a ‘master plan’ - not shown is the existing (?) main house. I’ve been up in that area before - it’s gorgeous!
First up is the boathouse, then the sleeping cottage, then the photos from the original post. All links are included at the end of this post, including the link to the Flickr slideshow detailing the build of the boathouse. Lots of photos…. Enjoy.

THE world’s oldest ocean-going vessel will re-visit Subic on December 28, 2007 to January 14, 2008 to promote international understanding and world-wide education by bringing knowledge, help and hope to the general public. Regional Director Ronaldo Tiotuico of the Department of Tourism–Central Luzon made this announcement in a press statement issued recently.

A large selection of these books is devoted especially to the educational needs of school children. One of the highlights of the ship’s port programme is the staging of the so-called “International Festival”, a colorful and enjoyable evening of music, cultural dance and songs from the countries represented by the crew and staff.

PMK(a regional - Northern Tamilnadu and a 100% casteist party), known for its specific skills to partner with the right party(or winning party) in each election has proudly proclaimed that it will float a new front for the next Assembly Polls.

If somebody is really intent on forming a third front, they would have started their work secretly rather on the public domain.Then all the topics that i learnt in my negotiation class came to my mind.

The ways of Google are mysterious and weird, especially when you start looking at the various ways of determining the value of a blog. While there are a lot of metrics that someone can use, from AWStats, to blog influence, to Technorati and the ability to be placed in various social networking sites. Page rank and how that influences Google’s search return is one of the more frustrating things that people have to deal with.
So when taking a look at a page rank 4 site, and then taking a look at a site that is floating on page rank zero, when they show up near identical with the same number of links. As well as the same number of pages in the search engine, the same kinds of quality links as well (page ranks above zero), one has to really wonder, what is going on, or what is the web site doing wrong.
In many cases it can be something as simple as text link ads, in other cases it can be something as complex as keywords, site design, and how the search engine spider sees the web site.
Buyers will soon be able to own homes on a luxury ship, which could sail to all locations, including Antartica and Amazon, and attend the Monaco Grand Prix or the London Olympics, the cost of which would be equivalent to nearly 2000 years rent in a Bur Dubai apartment, reports Gulf News.BV International Ocean Holdings Limited will launch a scale model of the 719 foot vessel during the Dubai Cityscape exhibition on 16th to 18th October 2007.

Preston City Councils latest bizarre idea for our green belt is to build floating homes on the banks of the River Ribble.The Lancashire Evening Post (LEP ‘Floating Homes’ Planned for City 28/8/07) revealed that a London based company, NGM Sustainable Developments, had met with officers from Preston City Council to discuss the possibility of building floating homes along the banks of the Ribble in Penwortham and Preston.The homes, which have been pioneered in Holland, apparently remain unaffected by flooding because they can float on top of water and can withstand water level rises of up to four metres.Councillor Hudson, leader of Preston City Council, welcomed the floating homes as a “very good idea”, while Mike Brogan, the Council’s director for regeneration, admitted that they were looking at technology for new types of housing on water and waterside areas.Floating homes might indeed be a good idea in Holland where most of the country is below sea level, but why should Pres
Spiritualized's third collection of hypnotic headphone symphonies is their most brilliant and accessible to date. Largely forsaking the drones and minimalistic, repetitive riffs which have characterized his work since the halcyon days of Spacemen 3, Jason Pierce re-focuses here and spins off into myriad new directions; in a sense, Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, with its majestic, Spector-like glow, is his classic rock album. "Come Together" and the blistering "Electricity" are his most edgy, straightforward rockers in eons, while the stunning "I Think I'm in Love" settles into a divided-psyche call-and-response R&B groove, and the closing "Cop Shoot Cop" (with guest Dr. John) locks into a voodoo blues trance. Lyrically, Pierce is at his most open and honest: The record is a heartfelt confessional of love and loss, with redemption found only in the form of drugs -- designed, no less, to look like a prescription pharmaceutical package, Ladies and Gentlemen is pointe

By Kathy Unruh Are you having fun learning guitar? If there’s one thing I’ve discovered over the years as a teacher, it’s the importance of keeping things simple and fun for my students. This can sometimes require a bit of creative thinking on my part. But I find, if I pay attention to my students, I am often able to discover where their musical interests and desires lie. When I can key into these personal and motivational impulses, then I am able to direct that energy in a positive direction. The result is a happy student who is having fun learning guitar!When a new student first arrives at my studio they are often filled with hopeful expectations. Many have visions of being able to play like one of their guitar heroes someday. This is all well and good as it establishes a goal. But it usually isn’t long before they realize that visions and reality can be worlds apart! Playing like a professional guitarist requires a bit of discipline and hard work, not to mention sore fingers
There has been a considerable increase in home loan interest rates for the past few months. People who have earlier opted for floating rate loan are now repenting for not having chosen the fixed rate loan. Have soaring rates not hit the fixed rate loan borrowers? Is it safe to narrow down on the fixed rates or Can there be any complications with it as well?
With such questions framing the debate, we now turn our article to specific challenges associated with each of the options.
Fixed Rate Loan
A fixed rate is one where the interest rate is supposed to be the same throughout the tenure of the loan. There are products where ‘fixed’ rate remains fixed for a particular time span.
Fixed rate loans are always preferable if the interest rates are slated to go up in future and can make budgeting easier due to the fact that all payments should for the same amount. Likewise, fixed rates have their own limitations. They attract higher premium compared to floating.

One could only wish there was more than just hot air to fill this float. A 40-meter-high floating condom to promote safe fucking pitched a tent in the sky over a recent Dutch festival."This is a playful way of asking for attention to the problem of sexually transmitted diseases, HIV and AIDS," said director of public health services, Laurent de Vries.The airy erection took 3 months to build, with the hopes of submission into the Guinness Book of World Records as the "biggest condom". Despite the months of hard work, unsurprisingly, it only took 10-15 minutes to get it off... the ground.tags technorati : balloon condom dutch guinness hotair protection safesex vrijveilig zwartecross
Majlis Speaker Gholam Ali Haddad Adel said on Tuesday that under the current situation if a floating price is set for petrol, it would leave high inflationary impacts on people's expenditures. Speaking in Majlis open session against a two-star urgent bill forwarded by MPs on supply of petrol at free prices, he said, "You made a significant move by rationing fuel but do not spoil your efforts."Fuel rationing has left positive impacts on domestic as well as international political scenes, he said. Setting any floating price for petrol would leave extensive inflationary impacts on all goods and products, he underlined. The move would cause chaos and exert huge pressure on low-income civilians, he said.Via: Islamic Republic News AgencyBlogalaxia: Majlis,IranTechnorati: Gholam Ali Haddad Adel, Majlis, IRAN Advertise on The ENERGY DATA WAREHOUSEwww.BajaeNergyBLOG.com
This could be off a sci fi film set, where the villain has a model of earth spinning around on his desk, dreaming of how one day he will rule the world.
However this is a fairly serious piece of engineering, which involves electromagnetic forces to keep the globe floating in mid air, with visible signs of support.
The globe is a really great device and because it is black along with the stand this make is look even more cool and desirable.

Let’s be blunt here, there are several products out there that harness magnets in order to have items float seemingly magically in space but these invariably come with a design that locks in the item from top and bottom and so, we feel at least, the effect is not quite as striking as it could be.
This is where this cool desktop gadget stands apart from the crowd as there is no frame or structure that interferes with the object being displayed – in this case a globe – so the effect is rather more engaging.
The globe itself measures an impressive 11cm in diameter and floats completely free over its chrome plated base unit, which comes with the required power cable to power the magnets within.
Obviously, as magnets are involved, it’s not something you’ll want to keep near any sensitive, electronically stored data (memory cars and such like) but as a desktop gadget we think is great and it’ bound to prove not only of great fascination to everyone who sees it but also potential

Check out this floating swimming pool that was spotted on the Spree river in Berlin, Germany, where temperatures have been unseasonably warm.
It’s called Badeschiff ("bathing ship"), and it’s an old barge that’s been converted into a public swimming hole. Unfortunately the Spree is much too polluted to swim in, hence the need for a floating pool.

It's a rectangle, 32.5 meters long by 8.2 meters wide and just over two meters deep.The ship's filled with 400,000 liters of fresh water that's been slightly lorinated. The water is heated to a comfortable 24 degrees Celsius. In summer it is open air without the stylish roof.More related:Worlds Largest Corn Labyrinth Top Ten HotelThe Smallest Aquarium in The WorldWorlds Largest Cruise ShipTow-Surfing at Jaws Griffon - The Worlds Tallest, Floorless Dive Coast...United's New First Class SuiteBlue Lagoon Iceland - A Unique Geothermal Spa Bubble Gum AlleyLombard Street - Worlds Crookedest StreetTop Ten Most Livable CountriesTop Ten Best Cities To Live InTen Wonder World
