			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><font face="Arial">Paving the way for a better future is the World Energy Research. The organization was formed to manage and develop the relationships between progressive investors and the energy companies. It brings to the energy market, certain productive projects that can lead the world to a sustainable future. This it does in alliance with the leading energy companies of the world. The investors can invest in these projects and help the investors support new energy innovations. </font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">The <a href="http://www.worldenergycapital.com/" target="_blank">world energy research</a> has a project portfolio that includes such productive ventures like oil and gas wells, solar centers, wind turbines and ocean turbines around the world. The World Energy Research explores possibilities of developing prospects in the emerging energy sectors for the investors to invest and benefit. </font><br />
  <br />
  <font face="Arial">Investment in the energy sector has risen in recent times with more than 155 billion dollars getting invested in 2008. This can be attributed to the need of the hour of stopping the degradation caused by the fossil fuels and also to the ongoing recession happening across the economy. The energy sector is unaffected by the recession and still offers a high return over investment of 650% and more. Reason enough to invest in energy. </font></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>A donkey at an Algerian market ate the money of a man who came to buy him, making the unfortunate buyer and the owner wonder who the animal belongs to, an Algerian newspaper reported. <br />
Al Shuruk al Yawmi, a newspaper published in the northern Algerian town of Tizi Ouzou, said the customer and the seller were traditionally bargaining for price for too long and failed to notice the donkey consuming the stack of banknotes meant as a payment for him. <br />
Neither the Tizi Ouzou district court nor the city court were able to make a ruling that would satisfy both parties, so the case was passed on to the Algerian Supreme Court in the hope that it will resolve the bitter dispute. <br />
Then what's your idea about this case?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>It came to my attention that it would be possible to house everyone who needs a home in America. All the homeless, all the low income, everyone could live in decent, crime free housing in the form of condominiums. <br />
In the 60s, they had the same idea and built the projects. However, we could change the rules. Recreate these condos and make them modern and then give away free housing for everyone who wants it in exchange for a commitment. We would require the owner guard the condo where we live against property crime. We would require they check up on the elderly and disabled and go shopping for them. We would require they learn to fix and then fix simple plumbing and electrical problems.. We would require they do bi-annual painting of all interiors and exteriors. In exchange, all housing would be free. <br />
We give prisoners free housing don't we?<br />
The cost to build these condos is minimal, maybe $7,000 per unit if done en-mass. Drywall is dirt CHEAP and that is 90 percent of the material in a house or condo!!! How do I know? I am a licensed property adjuster and deal with this stuff every day. <br />
The owner would be responsible for insurance, condo fee and local property taxes. Since the condo is worth $7,000 these fees should be minimal and could be paid for by a part time job working just a few hours a week. Those who couldn't work could pay due to disability could pay with their government subsidies. This would also pay for regular security guards (bouncers) of each condo to take care of anyone who didn't belong.<br />
<br />
What happens if they do not abide by the rules? There would be a condo board and they would get kicked out. It would definitely be in their best interest to cooperate. We can do this.</div>
