Message from 小林方正 I'm a plactic bag. BUT, I don't chose to be one. If you key-in PLASTIC on wikipedia, you'll find this explanation of PLASTIC. Plastics are polymers: long chains of atoms bonded to one another. Common thermoplastics range from 20,000 to 500,000 in molecular weight, while thermosets are assumed to have infinite molecular weight. These chains are made up of many repeating molecular units, known as "repeat units", derived from "monomers"; each polymer chain will have several 1000's of repeat units. The vast majority of plastics are composed of polymers of carbon and hydrogen alone or with oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine or sulfur in the backbone. (Some of commercial interest are silicon based.) The backbone is that part of the chain on the main "path" linking a large number of repeat units together. To vary the properties of plastics, both the repeat unit with different molecular groups "hanging" or "pendant" from the backbone, (usually they are "hung" as part of the monomers before linking monomers together to form the polymer chain). This customization by repeat unit's molecular structure has allowed plastics to become such an indispensable part of twenty first-century life by fine tuning the properties of the polymer.
Message from Anya Hindmarch "When I was first approached with this idea, it gave me the chills. It seemed so important. The thing that struck me was that when I started working at 18 years old in the late Eighties, I remember drinking double espressos and smoking Marlboro lights and working all day and night. I remember the cool young girls I started employing arriving with their yoga mats and pomegranate seeds and their plants on their desk for oxygen and me thinking it was all a bit ‘knit your own yoghurt’. But of course the reality is that now we all realise the importance of looking after your health, what you eat and what you do. It was these cool, fashionable influences that helped it become trendy."
“The bag project all started two years ago when a man called David Robinson approached me. David - who is a very good man – runs a global social change network called We Are What We Do. They are a fantastic movement who try to inspire people to use their everyday actions to change the world. He is very much of the belief that if everyone makes a small change and does their bit it can actually amount to making a big difference.I just loved the simplicity of that and I agree with it. The first thing that they did was publish a book, which was done in a really upbeat, unworthy way, called ‘How to Change the World for a Fiver,’ and it was very popular - organizations really embraced it and gave it out to their employees. It started with fifty actions that anyone could do to help - things like ‘smile at old people because they know lots of good stuff’ and ‘turn off the water when you’re brushing your teeth.’But the first action was ‘decline plastic bags whenever possible.’ We Are What We Do came to see us because they were very keen to take the success of the book into a project.I was enamored with the idea because I do believe there is so much wasted packaging - although I’m far from perfect myself. But secondly I thought they were really good people and it was a really exciting project to try and highlight - it’s such an easy thing to do. We designed the bag as it’s big and easy and great for groceries, but will probably be used as a school bag or a gym bag. I use mine everyday as a tote bag bringing stuff from home. “There’s a lot to be said for plastic for sure, but on a recent shopping trip I refused nine plastic bags as I could put things directly into my cotton one - and that’s amazing.If it makes people rethink their behaviour and perhaps makes the supermarkets rethink their solutions then it’s achieved something as far as I’m concerned."
“What’s really exciting is the reaction from people. “I’ve literally had letters from models, film stars, politicians and even Prince Charles yesterday, all saying ‘fantastic, well done, we all
support it and we’re right behind it."
“I’m not the greenest person around, I drive a diesel car (I have five children) but the point is that ‘we are what we do’ and if we all
do a little thing then we’ll solve the damage, we’ll stop making it worse. And it really doesn’t take you long to rethink the way you behave."
HOLLYWOOD 是个梦工厂，各式各样真真假假的众生相在镜头前化为一幕幕的电影经典，无论是角色造型，故事桥段，场面阵容，HOLLYWOOD 从来没有叫观众失望。难怪年复一年她依然散发异彩，令人目眩着迷。 水银灯亮起了，现实和虚幻交错一起，叫人已分不清界限。水银灯以外，一切与 HOLLYWOOD有关的人与事带着如梦似幻的色彩，甚至于比电影更令人匪夷所思。
This song "FIND ME" by David GATES was strongly recommended by my sister, LINDA, lately. I was touched after I'd listen to it and wish to share with you guys.
最令我感动的是如果有一天我比你先离开这个世界，你要记住，当你来的时候，要来找我。
FIND ME / David GATES The skies are not as blue, when you're not with me The stars, they never seem to shine as bright And the hours crack like days across the ages And a year or two pass by with every night. It makes me know if i should ever leave this world before you do When you follow you must promise, cross your heart and promise to
(Chorus) Find me...look hard, and dont stop, I'll be waiting 'till then Dont sleep, and dont eat 'till I'm back, back in your arms again I dont wanna have to spend all my forever without you. Just knowing that your out there somewhere too. So darlin...please I'm begging you on bended knee... Find me...
I've tried to tell this world how much i love you. But they dont understand how deep it goes. And i can't even find the words to tell you So I'm the only one who really knows. And though we have our times together, I am always wanting more So if we get separated wont you do just like before and
(Chorus 2) Find me...look hard and dont stop, I'll be waiting 'till then Dont sleep, and dont eat 'till I'm back, back in your arms again Through a hundred million faces you will see me shinning through. 'Cause I'll glow when you come close , I always do. So darlin' please im begging you on bended knee.. We can share our love through all eternity 'Cause with you is all i ever wanna be...... Find me
I bought this album through the recommendation of a cafe crew of SAN FRANSCISCO COFFEE. It's REALLY my cup of tea and I like it very much.
The Album by Sean GHAZI is a mnemonic tribute to Malaysia's musical past, with numerous cover versions of classic hits by celebrated legends such as P.Ramlee and Sudirman. Most of the numbers in the album are in Bahasa Malaysia, whith a few English songs thrown in.
