BUTTERWORTH, May 30 ?The 10th Malaysia Plan (10MP) will be based on a new economic model to ensure that all efforts towards economic recovery in the country run smoothly.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop said that although 10MP will take effect only in 2011, the government has started early planning on the five-year economic programme to ensure sustainable development.
The Tasek Gelugor MP said that among the areas of focus under the new model will be to create many more industries to generate higher income for the people and help them face future economic challenges as well.
Before Streamyx get to the Reagan landmarks in Dixon we stop in Paw Paw, Web Page Design Templates a small village many of Streamyx Wireless Broadband Illinois residents have probably passed on Interstate 39, you know you are there when you see the large electricity generating windmills on the horizon. Before 2005 the 850 person village of Paw Paw had no properties included on the federal National Register of Historic Places. The listing of the Stephen Wright House changed that in May of that year.
After mingling amongst the windmills of the Mendota Hills Wind Farm for a bit, I made my way over to the village proper and sought out the Wright House. The house was constructed sometime between 1895 and 1906 by Paw Paw native, and real estate speculator Stephen Wright.
The home Streamyx an excellent example of Queen Anne style architecture. It very clearly illustrates the hip roof Streamyx with flanking cross gables (wiki) that is found on about 50 percent of Queen Anne style houses. The roof style is a quick way to identify many less obvious examples of Queen Anne. Viewed from the cross gables, the hip roof is less obvious, making for an interesting visual play, depending on where the viewer stands.
Tomorrow we visit our first Reagan landmark in Dixon. Paw Paw is a village in Lee County, located in northern Illinois. Norther Illinois is full of interesting places listed in the National Register of Historic Places and well worth the look for any history student or buff. Feel free to Google it and have a look for yourself.
