Rio's Welcome Sign (2016 Olympics)






2016 - Rio de Janeiro



" Solar City Tower ", built atop
the island of Cotonduba
will be the welcome symbol to

the 2016 Olympic Games
in Rio de Janeiro .

It will be seen by the game visitors and participants as
they arrive by air or water.

The tower, captures solar energy. It will supply energy
for all of the Olympic city, as well as also for part of Rio ..

It pumps up water from the ocean to create what
appears like a water fall and this fall stimulates turbines
that produce energy during the night.

It will also hold the Olympic flame.

The Tower possesses an amphitheater, an auditorium, a cafeteria and boutiques. Elevators lead to various observatories. It also has a retractable plat-form for the practice of bungee jumping.
At the summit is an observation point to appreciate the scenery of the land and ocean, as well as the water fall.

Solar City Tower will be the point of reference for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro .











How amazing is that?

Fwd: Fw: MUST READ ABOUT McDONALD'S

Subject: MUST READ ABOUT McDONALD'S

THIS IS A GOOD DECENT MAN WHO TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE THIS AND: HE SIGNED THE STATEMENT AND: INCLUDED HIS CONTACT INFO: READ ON -

I'm sure those of you who aren't in the cattle business don't understand the issues here. But to those of us whose living depends on the cattle market, selling cattle, raising the best beef possible...This is frustrating. This will keep us from ever stopping there again, even for a drink.

The original message is from theTexas Cattle Feeders Association American cattle producers are very passionate about this.
McDonald's claims that there is not enough beef in the USA to support their restaurants. Well, we know that is not so. Our opinion is they are looking to save money at our expense. The sad thing of it is that the people of the USA are the ones who made McDonald's successful in the first place, but we are not good enough to provide beef.

We personally are no longer eating at McDonald's, which I am sure does not make an impact, but if we pass this around maybe there will be an impact felt.

All Americans that sell cows at a livestock auction barn had to sign a paper stating that
we DO NOT EVER feed our cows any part of another cow.

South Americans are not required to do this as of yet.

McDonald's has announced that they are going to start importing much of their beef from South America . The problem is that South Americans aren't under the same regulations as American beef producers, and the regulations they have are loosely controlled.

They can spray numerous pesticides on their pastures that have been banned here at home because of residues found in the beef. They can also use various hormones and growth regulators that we can't.. The American public needs to be aware of this problem and that they may be putting themselves at risk from now on by eating at good old McDonald's..

American ranchers raise the highest quality beef in the world and this is what Americans
deserve to eat. Not beef from countries where quality is loosely controlled. Therefore, I am proposing a boycott of McDonald's until they see the light.

I'm sorry but everything is not always about the bottom line, and when it comes to jeopardizing my family's health, that is where I draw the line.

I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at l east ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) .... and
so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers!

I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you? Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on..
