Dog Doo-Hickey

Image
Gregg Huberty and his business partner is Marc Rumaner are avid inventors from Illinois. They have created a patent pending dog product that is on the kickstarter site . We have conducted an interview with them. What is your story? Can you tell us more about yourselves and how did you and your partner come up with this business idea for the dog product?  M&G Ideas, Inc. was started by 2 friends, Marc Rumaner and Gregg Huberty, who enjoy inventing and product design and have several licensed products currently on the market. Marc and Gregg are constantly thinking up new product ideas and finally decided it was time to try producing and manufacturing their own. Being dog owners they decided to focus on the pet market. Their first product, the Dog Doo-Hickey, solves a problem they both have when walking their dogs as do many other dog owners so it seemed like a natural for their first product launch. What other methods have you use other than kickstarter for your fund r...

The Asian Entrepreneur Magazine

Image
Melvin Poh is the founder of The Asian Entrepreneur Magazine . This is the first prominent business magazine that solely focuses on, interviews and features entrepreneurs and startups based in Asia. We have conducted an interview with him. In 60 seconds, can you summarize and tell us what The Asian Entrepreneur is all about? Admittedly, that's a rather difficult challenge because I personally believe to truly understand the work we do and what The Asian Entrepreneur represents; one would have to intricately examine many aspects of our organization and particularly, the values that underlie them. However in short, I would say The Asian Entrepreneur is a magazine that seeks to supplement and facilitate entrepreneurship in Asia by enabling a direct and raw exchange of entrepreneurial insights. This is achieved through the active profiling of different entrepreneurs and businesses, that we encounter in Asia. With that being said, The Asian Entrepreneur represents not ...

Deadly Vows

Image
Robert Marsh is the author of Deadly Vows . In a new line up of horror stories, Mr. Marsh takes us to the existence that there is more to life and death that we already know. We have conducted a short interview with him about his new book. There are several books written with this title. Did you explore other titles before you launch it? Why did you title your book "Deadly Vows"? Yes I did but I fell in love with Deadly Vows. I titled the book Deadly vows because of the deep darkness it carries and the strong Vows made inside the book. It is quite unusual to find a book that includes a diary, poetry and short stories. What inspired you into writing a book like this? The pain which I and millions of people I know is what made this book come into the industry like it was meant to be. Do you have a favourite character in the book? How did you craft this character? I don't have a favourite but the way I crafted the book was through hardship and...

Nayan Hazra Photography

Image
Nayan Hazra is a photographer from Pune, India. His speciality is Wildlife, Nature and Travel photography. We have conducted an interview with him. Between landscape photography and architectural photography, which is more fascinating for you? Why? Landscape and Architectural photography are incredibly different from one another and comparing them is like deciding between boiled or even half-fry eggs. At the end of the day, both of them are eggs; photography in this case. On a personal level, even though architectural photography possesses his own charm, I find shooting landscapes more fascinating. Shooting landscape has its dependability and quite a few of which you don’t be able to control, credit to Mother Nature. So even with the most effective preparations (read assumptions), landscape photography will always force you to become creative on the spot with sudden changes. It’s as if you have wants to shoot the mountains under the sun, and also on the eventful day, as i...

The Outlaw Thinker

Image
Woody Arnold is the author of The Outlaw Thinker blog. He writes about politics, economy and environment. We have conducted a short interview with him. As an outlaw thinker, do you think today's politics is changing the society's mindset for a better or worse environment? And why do you think so? Despite scientific discoveries helping to shift closer for humankind to better the environment, our politics and our economic systems are polluting the environment because, first of all, corrupt corporations really control the world through bribery and make their crimes legal; for example, the "big oil industries". These corporations that have the interests of the world's people nor will they they help to advocate 100% environmentally friendly sources of energy like Nikola Tesla's discovery of free energy. Secondly, the world's economic systems are based off of scarcity and advocate linear increase in productivity while the Earth is limited to the amoun...

The Island of Lote

Image
Emily Kinney is a young author from the little town of Limerick in Maine. She has her book out on the market called The Island of Lote . We have conducted an interview with her: What are your opinions about the literature world and why did you decide to be a book author? My opinion of the literature world varies. It’s the same as any art medium, especially nowadays, when it seems you have to pick either guaranteed popularity or integrity. There are still, of course, those rare and marvelous cases where the end result is both. I’m not exactly sure when trending began, but I want to hope that it’s only been recently. Because it seemed like authors back in the day couldn’t care less about what their fellows were writing about and what the public was responding best to. One of the reasons I love literature so much is because of its history. No other art has had so much influence on the human race than that of the combination of words and storytelling. The grandeur and mys...

Kahlia Greksa’s: The Great Gatsby’s Dance Great

Image
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is a snapshot into the mindset of early twentieth century America. The screenplay by Baz Luhrmann and Craig Pearce for the Warner Bros. feature film adaptation of this story is in all parts equal to the lavish and epic tone of the book. Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio’s presentation of the flawed Jay Gatsby is ideal in grounding the film’s depiction of the excess that preceded the Great Depression. The film earned 14.4 million on its opening night in North America and 206,200,000 worldwide. At the 86th Academy Awards, it was nominated for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design, winning both in addition to BAFTAs and numerous other awards globally. Director Baz Luhrmann personally cast Kahlia Greksa as the lead dancer in the film, repeating their work together on the Oscar-winning film Moulin Rouge . Greksa’s dancing is featured prominently in the party scenes which are a highlight of the film’s tone. With so many huge names...

Tori Amos, Simply My Favourite Voice

Image
There are just some kind of voices that are special to my ears, someone like Tori Amos has this special place in my heart. She would be someone I would want to see in a live concert, just watching her sing. Unplugged. I can't wait to hear her new album,  Unrepentant Geraldines . Airplanes Take you away again Are you flying Above where we live Then I look up a glare in my eyes Are you having regrets about last night I'm not but I like rivers that rush in So then I dove in Is there trouble ahead For you the acrobat I won't push you unless you have a net You say the word You know I will find you Or if you need some time I don't mind I don't hold on To the tail of your kite I'm not like the girls that you've known But I believe I'm worth coming home to Kiss away night This girl only sleeps with butterflies With butterflies So go on and fly then boy Balloons Look good from on the ground I fear with pins and needles aro...
