Brasil Bound
After an unexpected and rather long delay, I am finally on my way to Brasil.
I know many of you probably thought I was already there. I was supposed to have arrived June 28th. Recently, however, the Brasilian government changed its Visa policies and requirements for U.S. citizens. So, the people here at F.M.S. and I have been scrambling to acquire all the new documents, running into barrier after barrier. It really was a roller coaster ride.
This entire waiting period, however, has been a fruitful one for me overall. The experience gave me more personal awareness of (what seems to me) the impossibility of voicing any indignation. I was frustrated at times and voiced that on occasion, but really sensed that I had nothing to complain about in comparison to what else is going on in the world. The main thing I’ve been reflecting on lately is that all the sad and traumatic events going on in the world still don’t necessarily allow for anyone to rise up in indignation. More and more it seems true to me that no matter what, we have nothing to complain about. We should do all we can to make things better-and never rest until they are (so this will probably go on ‘til the end of time), but in comparison to the cross-and due to the resurrection, we must bear whatever we face without any real indignation.
And supposedly, the whole delay I faced is the Brasilian government’s reaction against the U.S. policy for Latin Americans applying for U.S. Visas.
The great thing for me was that I was able to spend much more time with people I otherwise would not have been able to. This was the highlight. The home base here in D.C. has excellent people coming in and out and I am thankful and trust God wanted me here a little longer than I anticipated. Now the anticipation for Brasil is over and I only hope and pray I persevere and rejoice in all that’s to come.

Just wanted to respond to my own blog since no ne else is. I like to talk to myslf :) Actually, I just wanted to qualify that I wrote this entry around the 10th of August and didn~t get to post it until the date and time shown.
I really enjoyed your blog. This is a cool Website Check it out now by Clicking Here . I know that you will find this WebSite Very Interesting Every one wants a Free LapTop Computer!
Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.
Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
