PDF Download FREE PAGE DOWNLOAD PDFs This PDF download: these are watermarked samples from my own design stamp album pages, albeit some at much lower resolution quality in order to keep internet download file size down. You may be able to glean a few design ideas from these, not that I am suggesting they are a masterpiece! Legal warning: no part or captured image/s of these pages and/or page designs can be used commercially, given away, or sold on without first obtaining my written permission. Software options I used an old version of QuarkXPress Passport (version 7.3 from my publishing days) to do all the page layout work (with its brilliant page element library) but other alternatives are Adobe InDesign, CorelDRAW and perhaps MS Publisher. You might also want to take a look at AlbumGen (stamp album design software) which can combine with images and data from EzStamp – follow this link https://ezstamp.com/software/stamp-album-software/ Get your pages printed professionally – not on a home printer. In terms of printing your own stamp album pages, most decent digital print shops should be able to print on larger paper size for you (e.g. A3 paper - ideally at 1200 dpi); then also guillotine to whatever final page size is wanted; and then punch/drill holes to suit your binder choice. Paper specification In terms of paper, I highly recommend Mondi Colorcopy 160g/m2 (59 lbs bond) paper – a paper that works really well with digital printing. You could use thicker paper if you wanted. Colorcopy paper is widely available in various paper sizes including A3. This is 100% recyclable, ECF, FSC™ paper containing pulp from tree farms; has a special surface treatment, is non-toxic, CO2 neutral, carries the EU Ecolabel, and is ageing resistance ISO 9706 certified (guaranteed archival life of 200+ yrs). If this is not available to you, then ask your local paper merchant to suggest the nearest paper equivalent. Fixing stamps I have fixed my own stamps using CLEAR Hawid open-top stamp mounts but other options include Showgard mounts or even decent “peelable” stamp hinges with used stamps. If you have any questions regarding my own non-watermarked pages or page design, my contact details are below - best to email if you can.

I am not a “dealer”, but as I occasionally buy up collections to help fill gaps in my own collection, more duplicates become available – it’s a ‘dynamic’ situation. I usually sell these (Buy-it-Now and Auction) through my eBay account www.ebay.co.uk/usr/ruskystamps but I do also have collectors that send me their “Wants Lists” from time to time – especially to help fill low value stamp gaps. Please request a Wants List template if this is of interest to you.

Such activities have many different designs, ranging from long-term stays in orbital M.A (Tourism) National facilities to short-term orbital or suborbital flights, and even parabolic flights in an aircraft exposing Eligibility Test (Net) Qualified. passengers to short periods of weightlessness. Flights into outer space by private individuals are Srinagar (J&K) India 190023 finding increased attention in the public. While there are not yet chartered flights, occasional orbital flights with "space tourists" have taken place. So far, seven "space tourists" have been taken to the International Space Station ("ISS"), all of whom were charged large sums of money for the experience. In this paper an attempt has been made by me to give the well understandable definition of Space Tourism.

FILMS is a production company based in Barcelona, created in 2013 by Carlota Coloma and Adrià Lahuerta. They produce documentaries for cinema and other platforms, and for agencies and clients who want to explore the documentary genre in all its possibilities. Their productions have been selected and awarded in many festivals: MiradasDoc, Milano International Documentary Festival, HotDocs and DOCSMX among others. They have been selected to participate in several workshops and pitches such as: IDW Visions du Réel; Cross Video Days; Docs Barcelona. ABRA ENSEMBLE Hall I + Abra Ensemble (Performance Space Exhibition) ABRA Ensemble's works aspire to undermine existing power structures as they express themselves in the voice, language patterns and ways of speech. They seek rather communal, feminist strategies of composition, listening and creative-coexistence. Exposing the emergence of the music itself, ABRA Ensemble bridges the existing limits between contemporary virtuoso vocal art and the performative, transformative encounter with an audience. In the five years since its founding in 2013, the ensemble has performed at a diverse range of venues in Israel and Europe, released a debut album and gained considerable recognition both in the new-music and contemporary performance scene. YARON ABULAFIA Jury Member 2019 / PQ Ambassador Yaron Abulafia has designed over 200 theatre and dance performances, installations, concerts and television shows internationally. He has designed for the Netherlands Dans Theater, the English National Ballet, Rambert Dance Company, Staatsballett Berlin, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba and the Hungarian State Theatre of Cluj in Romania – to mention but a few.

    CHAPTER TWENTY ONE CONTRIBUTIONS OF KERIM KERIMOV IN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING Masturah Mohamad, Raihan Othman Fac. ofEng., International Islamic Univ. Malaysia (HUM), Jalan Gombak, 53100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 21.1 INTRODUCTION The objective ofthis research is to study the contributions ofthe person behind Rusia's achievement in space exploration. The significance of this chapter shows that a good leader is important to ensure the all missions are performed smoothly, capable to overcome and rectify problems quickly. The methodology adopted in this chapter is based on data collection from library and other trustworthy sources. This chapter explores early development and achievement in space exploration during Kerim Kerimov's life. Prior to 1987, Kerim Kerimov was not known to public even though his contributions in space research were vast. He had dedicated himself to the space researches throughout his life and contributed to the development of space exploration in his country. For more than 25 years involvement in aerospace industry, he had launched many astronauts and spacecrafts such as Vostok 1, Molniya, Soyuz 11 and so on. However, not all missions were successfully accomplished. Failure teaches people to be more creative, innovative and dare to take risks because there is no victory without efforts. 21.2 EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF SPACE EXPLORATION Kerim Kerimov who was an Azerbaijan-Russia aerospace engineer, was born on 14 November 1917 in Baku and passed away on 25 March 2003 in Moscow. In 1942, he graduated from Azerbaijan Industrial Institute and continued his study at Dzerzhinsky Artillery Academy which is one of Soviet military academies. At Artillery Academy, he dedicated himself to design and development of space vehicle systems (http://www.science.az/en/cat.php?fid=kerimov).
