Sometimes a lot of people are confused about the exact meaning of leasing. Let’s say for example in terms of Car Leasing; An owner can allow another person the use of a vehicle such as vehicle leasing of a car or truck for a fixed period of time or at will. This can be a simple leasing transaction, or it can be a transaction intended to allow the user the right to buy the item at some future time.

I hope I give you a bit clarification of leasing..I remember a friend here in Germany who made a car leasing contract. At the end of the lease period, she decided to buy the car because she really like the car. The car still looks very new and runs very good after 3 years of using it.

There are companies like Best Car Finder that offers Car Leasing. They have been in automotive and leasing industry for 50 years now. They lease cars from Top Manufactures like Audi, BMW, Honda, Ford, Mazda, Mercedez, etc..Just name it and they have it all!!

GREENBELT, Md. (UPI) — The U.S. space agency says its Polar satellite has concluded its 12-year mission to study the Northern and Southern lights.

When the Polar satellite was launched in February 1996, the plan was for a two-year mission to study the lights that form a ring around Earth’s north and south magnetic poles. Polar exceeded expectations by a decade.

“We’ve gone well beyond our original plan and into our dreams,” says John Sigwarth of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.

“Polar ran out of fuel during its final maneuver in February,” said Sigwarth. “But even after the fuel was exhausted, we continued to maneuver on the cold helium gas that was left in the tank,” he said, likening that to “using the force of your breath as you breathe out to propel yourself backward” if you happen to be traveling through space like a satellite.

But now, he said, Polar has run out of breath.

Controllers turned off the satellite Monday, slightly ahead of a likely fatal encounter with the sun. From its current orientation, Polar will drift slowly, allowing the sun’s energy to quickly overwhelm the satellite, Sigwarth said.

With all the modern technologies we have now like internet, getting trainings online is no longer impossible. I wish to have one especially with PMP training certifications. Since I will be going to US on Saturday, I would like to take it up there. I am staying in US for two months. I don’t want to waste my time there and might as well take some IT trainings. In Germany, it is quite impossible to have it since it is all in German language. My German knowledge is only basic and some terminologies might be difficult for me.

I also happened to browse Gk-Cisco-training site. I just find this site very interesting especially with regards to the topic of DSP or commonly known as Digital Signal Processors and how it is used in IP Telephony.

Some infos about PMP training are also shared at itilandpmptraining.blogspot.com. Thanks to these bloggers who always share informations like these.

If you are planning to have some IT and Business trainings, I recommend you to visit these sites and get relevant infos..You might want to enroll some trainings there as well!!

Have a great day everyone!!

May Day can refer to various labour celebrations conducted on May 1 that commemorate the fight for the eight hour day. May Day in this regard is called International Workers’ Day, or Labour Day. The choice of May 1st was a commemoration by the Second International for the people involved in the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago, Illinois. As the culmination of three days of labor unrest in the United States, the Haymarket incident was a source of outrage and admiration from people around the globe. In countries other than the United States and Canada, residents sought to make May Day an official holiday and their efforts largely succeeded.

For this reason, in most of the world today, May Day has become an international celebration of the social and economic achievements of the labour movement. Although May Day received its inspiration from the United States, the U.S. Congress designated May 1 as Loyalty Day in 1958 due to the day’s appropriation by the Soviet Union.[4] Alternatively Labor Day traditionally occurs sometime in September in the United States. Some view this as an effort to isolate American workers from the worldwide community.[5] People often use May Day as a day for political protest, such as the million people who demonstrated against far-right candidate Jean-Marie Le Pen in France, or as a day for protest against government actions, such as pro-immigrant rallies across the United States.

WOODS HOLE, Mass. (UPI) — U.S. marine scientists say they’ve established a network of electronic buoys along Massachusetts Bay’s shipping lanes to protect endangered right whales.

The Right Whale Listening Network developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution recognizes the whales’ distinctive calls and routes the information to a public Web site and a marine warning system, giving ships the chance to avoid deadly collisions.

Right whales were hunted to the brink of extinction centuries ago, and now fewer than 400 of the 50-ton, long-lived black whales remain, scientists said, noting collisions with ships are currently a leading risk factor.

“For the first time, we can go online and hear … calling whales, and see where those whales are in the ocean off Boston and Cape Cod,” said Christopher Clark, of the Lab of Ornithology. “Better yet, those calls immediately get put to use in the form of timely warnings to ship captains.”

Clark said even the deaths of one or two breeding females each year could lead to the population’s extinction.

“If all ships slow down for whales, it could make a real difference,” he said.

The sounds and additional information are available at listenforwhales.org.

I had a picture on Maypole or Maibaum yesterday in Simply The Best. As promise I am sharing you now the hsitory of Maibaum in Germany esp. in the state of Bavaria. I took these Maypole photos during our visit to Pielenhofen last month.

Introduction:

One of the oldest illustrations of a maypole was made in 1590. It can be seen on a fresco by Hans Donauer in the Antiquarium of the “Münchner Residenz”. The fresco shows Lake Starnberg and a castle. Beside the castle a maypole is depicted with double sided tillers for the emblems.

Erecting a maypole was not unique to Bavaria or to the Alpine region, but occurred in nearly all other European countries. The tradition reaches from gesteckten Maien to May dances around a decorated pole which was put up in a village square. Erecting a maypole must follow certain rules and is accompanied by traditional customs which are explained below. There are regional peculiarities which are beyond the scope of this general article.

HISTORY

In the 16th century erecting a white and blue painted maypole became a tradition in Bavaria. Later, in the 18th century, symbols and shields of different worker’s guilds were added to the pole.

Erecting a maypole is a community enterprise. This can take the form of local clubs and groups of unmarried boys and girls. Normally, these groups choose a Maibaumchef or Maypole Leader, usually a farmer, joiner or carpenter, who knows about wood and woodworking tools.

Work is traditionally divided between the men and women. Men take care of choosing, cutting down and transporting the tree pole, while young women are responsible for the garlands, collecting donations and other decorations.

The selection of the tree is important; it has to have a height of at least 30 meters (100 feet) and must be bolted upright. To cut the tree down requires care and concentration to avoid damage. Usually it is donated by a local farmer or a club in the village. For transport a decorated horse-drawn wagon was used but today a tractor is common. The boys and girls arrive together in the village with the tree, where the residents wait for them together with a brass band.

Before erecting the maypole the tree must be prepared. First, the branches and the bark are removed. Then tree gets a wash with hot water and if necessary it is planed to the desired shape. To work more effectively, the tree is put on bevels. If they are going to paint the trunk, they take the tree into a factory hall or a repair shop. Traffic is normally blocked in the city where the Maypole is to be set up on the 1st of May.

After preparing the maypole it is important to guard it because, traditionally, young men from surrounding villages may attempt to steal it. To prevent this, the inhabitants and predominantly young men, stay awake the whole night. Young men from surrounding villages also stay awake the entire night looking for their chance to steal the pole. If, by chance, they should be successful in absconding with the pole, the pole is returned after negotiations take place over barrels of beer and food.

A few unwritten rules govern the stealing of the maypole:

1. Thieves who are captured inside the village have to give the maypole back.
2. No force is allowed!
3. The maypole must remain undamaged.
4. After May Day, it is not allowed to steal the tree.
5. A tree can only be stolen when it is in the village.
6. The larcenist must commit the deed unobserved.
7. If a stolen tree is not redeemed, the thieves can put it up as their maypole or can put it up as a disgraced tree next to their own.
8. The theft and the redemption should be made without the need of police and the courts.
9. Only the maypole can be stolen not the figures or the wreaths.

If the maypole survives all of these dangers then positioning begins. An unwritten law is that this should be accomplished only by physical strength. For this purpose, the entire village of men are mobilized. This is a traditional event which takes place on only one day of the year and so the entire villages comes together to celebrate this tradition in a big festival. Before erecting the maypole, the mayor of the village says a few words to the assembled villagers. After that the Reverend blesses the tree and then command is assumed by the “maypole chief”. With commands such as Hauruck and Zugleich and with the aid of so called Schwalben the tree gets higher and higher. As soon as it is upright it is fixed in place. The band then plays for the traditional May dance. The festivities continue until late into the evening with plenty to eat and drink.

The setting up of the maypole is a tradition going back to the 16th century.

Young people of the village work together to select and cut down the tree, to transport and to decorate it. During the preparation it is necessary to guard the maypole because young people from other villages who would like to steal it. The setting up of the maypole is a big feast for the whole community.
