As evidenced by our site, the NZP has changed gears if not direction. The NZP is now adopting the brilliant vision of Alexendar Krasinski's artificial island city. The NZP will work with the architectural firm of Krasinski Warsaw in the upcoming months to finalize the plans. Focusing our efforts on a single structure is certainly a more feasible and attainable goal. Thank you Alexander for sharing your inspired vision.

This is yet another way of inspiring others.

We would like very much to thank those who have sent in their resumes. Wow!! What a collection of talented, educated people we have as members. From construction workers to computer experts, we as a group run the gamut. Thank you so much. Architects, CAD experts, 3D Modellers are invited and encouraged to send in their resumes and contribute their expertise. Please keep the resumes coming in.

Let your imagination run wild. If you were to design the next city what would it look like? Do you see Rivendell from Lord of the Rings? Or do you see a cityscape from Star Trek? Perhaps a bit of both? We would love to receive your ideas. We are hoping to receive:

• hand-drawn illustrations
• computer rendered illustrations
• images of buildings
• images of the city as a whole

Selected work will be posted on the NZP site to showcase your talent! Further, the NZP is hoping to create a virtual world in Second Life. Your illustrations can serve as a much needed starting point. Please send us your ideas to info@theNZP.com.

We are seeking a PHP developer or team to create a Joomla site for the NZP Community website. The NZP Community site will be the Social Networking arm of the NZP. This site will features live chats, blogs, forums and such. If you are a coder:

• who lives and breathes social networking development
• with exceptional dedication and drive who would like to contribute your talents to this initiative
• who's confident in PHP, AJAX, CSS and MySQL

...we need to hear from you. Please send us your info to info@theNZP.com.
