Boeing 747

A great video on the production of the Boeing 777 Model Airplanes for Air Canada. Shows from wing construction, to fuselage construction and piecing together to painting. Interesting to note that this Boeing employee said the painting of model aircraft is top secret.

Vegan's destroying forests?

From Vegan.com

Here’s a silly but widely-read news piece blaming deforestation onâ€"of all peopleâ€"people who avoid meat. The piece was published today in a free newspaper handed out to thousands of Vancouver, BC commuters. It claims: More and more people are choosing to consume less meat, a decision that has led to an increase in demand for soy, the main ingredient used in making tofu (a staple of the vegetarian diet). Soy covers some 11 million hectares of forest across South America. You know who’s eating nearly all these soybeans? Farmed animals. The Encyclopedia Britannica states that 98 percent of America’s soy production is fed to farmed animals. So, really, it’s meat eaters who are driving soy-related deforestation, and yet it’s the people avoiding meat who this article chooses to blame.

Condo Leases

I was reading Wikipedia and I read that "To become licensed, most states require that an applicant [broker] take a minimum number of classes before taking the state licensing exam. Such education is often provided by real estate brokerages as a means to finding new agents.". I wish thye were forced to take class in cusomter service. I have had only bad experiences with brokers and when I am next looking for Eastwood Condos, I hope that Lease Wizards is able to live up to their repupation of being great brokers.
