Angel Food Ministries

Angel Food Ministries is a nationwide program based out of Georgia that is designed to provide high quality food at lower-than-retail prices.

Using the buying power of volume, Angel Food Ministries purchases food at deep discounts, then passes that savings onto its clients.

Each month the ministry offers a new menu of items in what it calls its signature box. Designed to feed a family of four for a week, the box of food costs $30. There are also senior boxes for $28 and allergen-free boxes for $25. In additions to the signature boxes, clients can choose from a variety of special boxes each month. For example, the June menu featured a meat grill box, which included steaks, chops, ribs and bratwurst for $23.

India air powered car

India’s largest automaker was set to start producing the world’s first commercial air-powered car, which was scheduled to hit Indian streets in August of 2008. The Air Car was designed by ex-Formula One engineer Guy Nègre for Luxembourg-based MDI.

Zero Pollution Motors (ZPM) now expects to produce the world’s first air-powered car for the United States by late 2009 or early 2010. As the U.S. licensee for MDI, ZPM has attained rights to build the first of several modular plants, which are likely to begin manufacturing in the Northeast and grow for regional production around the country, at a clip of up to 10,000 Air Cars per year.
