Earth Day ~ A Universal Bedtime Story
Author and illustrator, Barbara L. George, performed ‘live’ readings for the second graders of The Lincoln School in North Bergen, NJ.
“What an impressive group of bright, young people! Their enthusiasm was delightful and they are a great reflection of just how engaging the North Bergen schools and curriculum are. The book sparked eager participation in what became very lively discussions and wonderful observations; from science to literature and the arts.”
Ms. George’s book is filled with adorable celestial characters hovering over fantastic images of our universe and outer space, captured and contributed by NASA. Each page is both inspirational and educational with its clever rhymes and beautiful images, appropriate for children, pre-school to second grade.
Last year Ms. George introduced her Earth Day book at The American Museum of Natural History, home of The Hayden Planetarium. The students in the Young Naturalist Class were treated to a ’live’ reading by its author and illustrator, Barbara L. George on April 22 & 23, 2010 (see photos below).

The Eugenia House by Brazilian Architect João Diniz tells a story of sunlight, cool breezes and art. The home’s tall, simple roof creates a large open living space that is light, airy and provides views of the neighboring trees in Lagoa Santa, Brazil.
What makes it unique though is how the structural framing and railings are made from reused sewer drain pipes, and the project’s façade is graced by a bas relief by the Brazilian artist Jorge dos Anjos. The overall effect maximizes light and space in a relatively small footprint.

Electric Sports Car Lights Up The Big Apple in 2010
Written by: Zachary George
Sports cars: Cars that can be driven and pushed to the limits of what can be done on four wheels. Now, a lot of ideas are probably coming to your mind when you think about those words. But, I bet you weren’t thinking about lithium ion batteries, carbon-free, or environmentally friendly. They don’t even sound like they belong in the same sentence.
Well, here I am, standing in the Tesla showroom, on the occasion of their one year anniversary in Manhattan. ‘Wow’ is what comes to mind! The first thing I noticed was a glass wall, through which I can see their Head Mechanic, William, working in the cleanest garage imaginable. I mean not a speck of dirt. That will not make much sense to you if you are unfamiliar with the car. This garage is lucky enough to never have to see or smell the exhaust fumes, oil leaks or gas spills that are so familiar to the gas combustion vehicles. The Tesla Company is a manufacturer of only premium electric vehicles and not just any electric commuter car, but one seriously fun roadster!

Now, he said, there’s no such research.
The EPA’s new attitude is, he said, “Just put it out there and we’ll see what happens.’’
“The chemical companies have been give a green light right through the front door,” he said.
Hackenberg met Wednesday evening with a chief toxicologist from Bayer and, not surprisingly, there was no meeting of minds.
