“I, Too, Sing America”

I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well,And grow strong.

Tomorrow, I’ll be at the table When company comes. Nobody’ll dare Say to me, “Eat in the kitchen,” Then.

Besides, They’ll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed--

I, too, am America.

Omega (capital: Ω, lowercase: ω; Greek Ωμέγα) is the 24th and last letter of the Greek alphabet. In the Greek numeric system, it has a value of 800. The word literally means “great O” (ō mega, mega meaning ‘great’), as opposed to omicron, which means “little O” (o mikron, micron meaning “little”).This name is Byzantine; in Clas-sical Greek, the letter was called ō , whereas the omicron was called out. The form of the uppercase letter derives from that of an omicron broken up at the side (Greek Omega),

with the edges subsequently turned outwards (Greek Omega) The modern lowercase shape goes back to the uncial form Greek uncial Omega.svg, a form that developed during the 3rd century BC in ancient handwriting on papyrus, from a flattened-out form of the

letter (Greek Omega] that had its edges curved even further upwards. The Omega and the pentagram are both signatures of geometry with quantum (sub atomic particle) meaning. These symbols are not in any way related to the meaning the church and secret societies gave them. When you arrive here on Earth with awareness of other existances and you

look around for your ‘tools’ ... you soon discover that the tools given to mankind have been ‘demonised’ in the most ugly and base ways. Man is not only at odds with nature and the planet he lives on, but he is also at odds with the geometry and beauty his spirit inhabits as he journeys across the surface of the Earth.

PizzaIngredients & Steps of making Pizza

Ingredients

1. Pizza Dough

2. 16oz of Tomato Sauce

3. Mozzarella Cheese

4. Baking Flour

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Add 16 oz. tomato sauce, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. sugar, 1 tsp. black pepper, 1 tsp. garlic salt, 6 tsp. Italian seasoning and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese to a bowl.

3. Mix the sauce thoroughly with the mixing spoon.

4. Remove the dough ball from the bowl and coat with flour, allowing the outside of the dough to absorb as much flour as possible.

5. Wipe off any loose, unabsorbed flour from the dough ball with your fingers.

6. Place the floured dough on the counter and flatten the ball with your hands, pushing all the air pockets from the dough.

7. When flattening the dough leave a 1/2-inch untouched area around the edges of the dough for the crust.

8. Pick the dough up by pinching the flatted area inside the crust edge.

9. Hold the dough so the bottom edge of the dough is just resting on the counter.

10. Rotate the dough by moving your fingers around the inside edges of the crust, a few inches at a time.

11. Stretch the dough until it is large enough to cover the entire pizza pan.

12. Lay the dough on the pan and gently smooth out any wrinkles in the dough with your fingers.

13. Spread the sauce mixture evenly over the dough with the mixing spoon, leaving the 1/2-inch crust area free of sauce.

14. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the sauce with your hands.

15. Bake the pizza on the center oven rack until the cheese is melted and the crust is brown.

16. Approximately 10 to 15 minutes, rotating the pan 180 degrees halfway through the baking time.

17. Remove the pizza from the oven and allow the cheese to rest for one minute before cutting the pizza.

18. Finally your pizza is ready to eat.

The Legend of ZeldaThe Hero of Time

Link refers to several different incarnations of the same fictional character and the protagonist of Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series. Link has been featured in other video games from Nintendo, including its mer-chandising, comic books, and an animated television program. Link is commonly depicted as a child, teenag-er, or adult of the Hylian race, originating from the fic-tional land of Hyrule. Link often travels through Hyrule, defeating creatures, evil forces and the series’ primary antagonist, Ganon, while attempting to save Princess Zelda and her kingdom. To defeat him, Link usually requires the mystic Master Sword and Light Arrows, or a similar legendary weapon, obtained after many trials and battles, and magical objects or using other items such as musical instruments and weaponry.

Link is the chosen bearer of the Master Sword, a powerful magical sword that can be used against evil. As a child, he challenges Ganondorf in order to try to protect Zelda before he inadvertently helps Ganondorf find the Triforce in Ocarina of Time, forcing Link to undo the damage he had caused.Link has several family members, including an uncle in A Link to the Past; an unseen mother in Ocarina of Time, who dies fleeing a war when Link is a baby; a grandmother, who raises him, and a sister, Aryll, in The Wind Waker; and a grandfa-ther in The Minish Cap.[dead link] His mother and father appear as spirits in the official manga.

Link also seems to have a particular fondness for sleeping. Most of the games begin with him over-sleeping and having to be woken up by some oth-er character. This seems to be done to show that at the beginning of the game he is a regular boy, while by the end he is a true hero.

A Modern And Geometric TypefaceFutura is a geometric sans-serif typeface designed in 1927 by Paul Renner. It was designed as a contribution on the New Frankfurt-project. It is based on geometric shapes that became representative of visu-al elements of the Bauhaus design style of 1919–33. Commissioned by the Bauer Type Foundry, in reaction to Ludwig & Mayer’s seminal Erbar of 1922, Futura was commer-cially released in 1936.

The family was originally cast in Light, Medi-um, Bold, and Bold Oblique fonts in 1928. Light Oblique, Medium Oblique, Demibold, and Demibold Oblique fonts were later re-leased in 1930. Book font was released in 1932. Book Oblique font was released in 1939. Extra Bold font was designed by Ed-win W. Shaar in 1952. Extra Bold Italic font was designed in 1955 by Edwin W. Shaar and Tommy Thompson. Matrices for ma-chine composition were made by Intertype. Although Renner was not associated with the Bauhaus, he shared many of its idioms and believed that a modern typeface should express modern models, rather than be a revival of a previous design. Renner’s initial design included several geometrically con-structed alternative characters and ranging (old-style) figures, which can be found in the typeface Architype Renner.
