Is it possible to take the rainwater and use it by collecting it on rooftops, gutters and concrete and allow it to flow into local reservoirs on the property to use once more? Indeed that would conserve water for places with severe droughts wouldn’t it? Sure it would and it would indeed make since in the Middle East, Arid Regions and of course in Australia with their big droughts too.One idea I had was to put one in a Bus Stop, collect water runoff from buildings into the structure and whatever hit the top of it, then use it later after going t

So what is the history behind Graduation Ceremonies, Caps and Gowns?
The “Rite of Passage” Graduation Day
The Baccalaureate Ceremony is considered the beginning of “Rite of passage.” Some schools include the Baccalaureate Ceremony with the actual Graduation Ceremony, while others celebrate the two in separate events altogether. For brevity purposes, I will explain the former.
The graduation commencement ceremonies usually begin with speeches from faculty or special speakers, which may include the actual students and music. Afterwards the graduates names are called one by one as “Pomp and Circumstance” is traditionally played. Not every ceremony follows this tradition.
“Pomp and Circumstance” was composed by Sir Edward Elgar (b. 6/2/1857 d. 2/26/1934). “Pomp and Circumstance” was first performed on October 19, 1901 in Liverpool, England. As the students commence onto the stage they are handed their diplomas and given a handshake. It is at that point the students flip the tassels on their hats.
The Baccalaureate Ceremony origin is said to go back to 1432. The first Baccalaureate Ceremony commenced at Oxford University. At that time each student was required to deliver a sermon in Latin as part of his academic applications.
Cap and Gown. What do they mean and where did they come from?
What we call today a “cap,” which is worn by students and faculty in some cases, used to be called a “hood.” The “hood” is believed to be dated back to the Celtic Groups. At that time in history only the Druid priests wore capes with hoods, symbolizing their superiority and higher intelligence. Today, the “hood” or “cap” is used to identify the student’s academic institution and degree. The tassel that is attached (and sometimes the color of the cap and gown
Take out four credit cards from your wallet. Stack them and hold them in your hand. Apple’s iPod nano http://www.powermax.com/cgi-global/generate_css_temp.cgi? i=PM_MP_IN&t=The+iPod+nano is about the same weight and half an inch less wide than that stack of cards. Now put three cards back in your wallet and use the remaining card to go buy yourself a nano.The nano’s introduction should not be misinterpreted as just another iPod in the lineup. It is, in fact, exactly what the iPod should have been in the first place: a flash-based juk

Nokia have always enjoyed a tremendous loyalty from its business phone users. This leads to steep expectations when a business solution is launched by Nokia. If the handset is a member of business centric E series, expectations get even higher. Fortunately, Nokia has been largely successful in meeting these expectations if not exceed them. The launch of Nokia E65 and its immediate popularity have again proved Nokia's ability to come up good to meet high public expectations.The Nokia E65 is a sleek slider business phone.

If a person is able to invest millions of dollars and then goes on to pour it into a business, it may be able to build a successful enterprise. Similarly, if a company has a large amount of capital to spend on marketing, there is a good chance of a successful result.But where is the genius in this approach? And how can it help the person or business that doesn’t have a million dollars to sink into a start-up business?Anyone can buy customers given enough money or credit, by spending huge amounts of money on advertisements and promotions.

The Hero's Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters:The Hero's Journey:• Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.• Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.• Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of
Prior to the 1950’s the color of the graduation gown was gray. This was practiced only in the U.S. Colors in European countries were used as far back as the 1800s to signify the area of study. Sometime during the 1950’s students began to ask for cap and gowns that represented their school colors. Their wish was granted and the emergence of varying colors used for gowns caught on.
During the 12th and 13th centuries the academic dress for graduation was born. At that time the standard dress for faculty or students was clerical dress. It wasn’t until 1321 that the University of Coimbra decided that all Doctors, Bachelors, and Licentiates would be required to wear gowns.
So there you have the basic history of Graduation Day and the ceremonial garb that is worn. Please remember to stay safe. The number of students who are just beginning their journey into life declines greatly on graduation night. Why? Drinking and Driving are a deadly mix and many graduating seniors and others are killed during the “celebrations.”
Graduation Day
All the dreams that have come and gone; All the memories that will live on and on. High School days we thought would last forever; All the time we thought we'd be together. Time seemed to slip by and then go away; Now it's graduation day. So many times we laughed and we shared; So many times we said I love you and I care.

So many times wondering if we'll remember what we've learned; The credits, the honors and the scholarships w
