Belaiar University to Ooen High-Tech Hub

Malaysia's Belajar University yesterday announced that it is beginning to build a new campus in
Malacca City that is expected to be completed by the end of next year. The new campus is part of an
outreach strategy to encourage students from other parts of Malaysia to apply to the prestigious
university, the campuses of which are primarily located in the capital Kuala Lumpur. "Although we
have seen an increase in the number of applicants from outside Kuala Lumpur in recent years," said
university vice-chancellor Abdullah Mohammed, "this new campus is sure to attract even more."

The new campus is also being partially funded by the Malaysian government, which considers it a
key part of its plan to develop the southern part of the country into a high-technology hub. Because of
this, the campus will feature a number of state-of-the-art computer laboratories that will be used to
develop new types of microchips and computer processors. A new high-speed rail link between the
capital and Malacca City is also being constructed by the government as part of the process of
encouraging technology companies to relocate to the smaller town.

Qing Weihai, governor of Malacca State, said, "We welcome this decision by the Malaysian
government and Belajar University and expect the new campus to create thousands of new jobs in the
region by encouraging businesses to move here."

Leading Fitness Trends

Spring is always the busiest season for fitness centers as

individuals prepare to get in shape for the coming summer
months. And gym owners hoping to have a competitive edge over
other facilities will be pleased to know that popular health
equipment manufacturer RockTech has recently launched a new
line of fitness equipment with some impressive features.

The head of product design for RockTech, Nancy Flores, said that
the new equipment is sleek in appearance and incorporates the
latest technological advances. The RockRunner treadmill, for
instance, automatically adjusts settings, such as speed and incline,
in correspondence with satellite map routes to give users the
experience of jogging in real terrain.

Furthermore, Ms. Flores noted that RockTech will soon release a

new line of weight training equipment. The machines will include
highly sophisticated, newly developed calorie counters that can be
synchronized with wearable fitness trackers. The machines will
also include calorie counters. "People focused on burning calories
can easily see their progress," Ms. Flores explained. She also
stated that RockTech plans to have this feature on all newly
released products.

These and other products are available on the company's Web site,
www.rocktech.com, but they are presently only sold to gyms and
health clubs.

fftotiee t@ Visitors

We've had a great summer season here at the Newport County Amusement Park and Zoo, but as the
winter season approaches, we're going to be closing sections of the park for maintenance and repairs.

Starting on October 1, the Mach One rollercoaster will be closed for inspections and repairs until the
beginning of the next summer season. In addition, certain animal enclosures will be shut down
temporarily to allow workers to perform needed renovations. These measures are vital to ensure the
future safety and enjoyment of all park visitors.

To make up for the inconvenience, we have some new winter attractions coming up. The days may be
getting shorter, but that just gives us a great excuse to hold a fireworks show, every day at 7 p.m. from
October 22 to December 4. On top of that, all of our restaurants will be serving our brand-new winter
menu starting on September 30. The menu was created by celebrity chef Alexandre Mapouche and is
based on European winter delicacies.

If you have any questions about these changes, please ask any member of our helpful and informative
staff.

To: Customer Relations <relations@ncapz.com>

From: Sandra Higson <Sandra1973@zipmail.com>
Subject: Feedback

Dear madam or sir,

I would like to report an issue I had at the Newport County Amusement Park and Zoo regarding
the closure of one of your rides. My son had wanted to visit your park for many months so he
could ride the Mach One rollercoaster. I finally found the time to take him, and he was very
excited. However, upon arriving at the park, we saw the notice outside the ticket office
announcing that the Mach One was closed for maintenance.

We decided to visit the park anyway, as we had traveled all the way from Colebrook, but my son
was very disappointed. I believe that, at the very least, we are owed an apology since you did
not announce the closure on your Web site; and perhaps we are even entitled to a refund of half
the amount we paid for our tickets because the attraction we were most Interested in was
| unavailable.

I look forward to your response.

Tea Tree Eco-Resorts Set to Open in Mexico by Year's End
By Consuela Hidalgo

International hotel chain Tea Tree Eco-Resorts
is in the final stages of building a 22-acre resort
on Mexico's Mayan Riviera. The first visitors
are expected to arrive by December 21. Like
other Tea Tree Eco-Resorts in the Philippines,
Thailand, and Greece, the new hotel will be as
eco-friendly as possible. "We have solar panels
generating electricity and heating the water, for
instance. Furthermore, none of the local farmers
from whom we source our ingredients for
regional specialties, such as pork wrapped in
banana leaves and citrus-marinated chicken
soup, use any chemical pesticides at all," said
general manager Jose Perez. The plan is for the
facilities to be built around naturally growing
trees and plant life, with structures blending in
with the jungle. Further details can be found at
www.teatreeecoresorts.com/mexico.

COMMENTS:
My wife and I were interested in a sailboat tour but were informed that the boat only held 24 passengers and
was full. So, we inquired about a trip to the Mayan city, but it was also completely booked. Thankfully, we
managed to go on the January 19 outing and enjoyed it very much. I recommend that more seats be
available for trips, especially during high tourist season.
Thank you for your time!
