Hi, Mark Meakings here.
I want you to be the first to download 2 high quality new KAZ products for free that are going to make your everyday life a whole lot easier!
The truth is, I want as many people to hear about these as possible, so while they have a value of $40, for a limited time, you can download them for free!
All I ask is, that if you like them, please tell others about them and send them the download link (and if they act quickly they can also get them for free!). Perhaps you could forward the link with a simple message like “you can get a great new KAZ typing tool and desktop organizer ebook for free at http://www.kaz-type.com/freedownloads.asp, but you need to go there now as they are only free for a limited time”.
Here’s what they are and what they will do for you:
The first is KAZ Typing Test and Typing Skill Developer. You will find this amazing desktop product will help you develop and improve your typing skills.
The second free product is even more powerful…
One of my best customers has been urging me to produce a new product using my accelerated learning techniques to help save his employees time every day and give them the inside track to organizing and fine tuning their computer, work space, email communications and a whole lot more. So I produced ‘KAZ Master Your Day’ Desktop Organizer for him and other top customers that we normally charge for. But the great news is, YOU can download this now for your personal use for free!
So, please go to the link below and choose to download the new ‘KAZ Typing Software’ and ‘KAZ Master Your Day’ e-book. They are free for a short time only and it will only take a minute. You’ll be glad you did!
Unreal Engine Invades Kids' Summer Camp

iD Tech Camps, a sort of summer camp for children interesting in game development and computers, announced today that they will be offering classes on using the Unreal Engine 3 tools to make games to six or seven students this year. The instruction sounds like it will be heavy on the modding, but there will also be instruction on creating original games and environments.
"We've partnered with iD Tech Camps because of their reputation for quality game development instruction for teens," said Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games. "Unreal Tournament 3 delivers unparalleled game quality that gamers have come to know and expect from Epic Games. We are reaching an audience of gaming enthusiasts who play the game as well as learn to design and mod with our deep set of tools."
This seems like a pretty smart move on Epic's part. It's sort of like Apple giving computers to schools to use in their labs. It hooks kids when they're young.
Projects like this are great enrichment activities for students who are avid fans of gaming; not only does it add a creative aspect to their time spent with the games, but it would help them to build analytical, mathematical and career skills. Hopefully other game developers do - or will - offer camps like the iD Tech Camps. It definitely beats a summer spent just playing video games, right?Neat idea: University extends in-state tuition for all military families

Starting with the first summer term of 2008, Michigan Technological University will offer in-state tuition to out-of-state students who are the offspring or spouse of a person on active U.S. military duty. Michigan Tech's Board of Control approved the new Military Family Education Award at its December 14 meeting.
Students will be eligible for a Military Family Education Award if a parent or spouse is on active military duty at the time the student applies to Michigan Tech. If a parent or spouse goes on active duty after a student is admitted, the student will be eligible for a Military Service Award at the beginning of the next semester.
A good idea, which should make it easier for the families of those serving in the US military to obtain a higher education.
