Welcome to the very first

issue of The IV Quarterly.

Our magazine is primarily a

web based Newspaper &

through distribution to society,

is the first of its kind; it leaves

no carbon footprint.

Our magazine contains articles

that cover a variety of variables

in society and more intimately

our writers’ lives. Our mission

is to continually provide you

with new information.

We are comprised of writers,

artists, and enthusiasts from all

walks of life, around the globe,

and from a full spectrum of

cultures and religions. Through

this form of E-News

(Electronic News), we expect

to be able to reach tens of mil-

lions.

With help from a personal

friend of mine, educational

instructor (Teacher) and writ-

ing hobbyist Ms. Annie Me-

donis, our very first issues has

gone international as far as

Surat Thani (Which translates

into “The City of Good People”) ,

Thailand. It is the perfect in-

duction and it is our members’

drive that exceeds our goals &

possibilities.

As we strive for one-hundred

issues, we’d like to remind you

to follow your dreams, stay

true to your heart, and remem-

ber that all you see before you

started in the vivid imagination

of a little boy at his desk. In

remembrance of Ms. Queen Ester

Nixon, “Your life may be the

only bible someone reads.”

Points of Interest

Get intimate with

your favorite writer.

Generation C and

FLAX.

Imagine a world where eve-

rything communicated were

achieved through the means of

technology. It doesn’t seem

too abnormal does it? That’s

only because, for the last

60years or so, you’ve been

living in the era of an eco-

nomic revolution. Just as the

mighty steam engine and auto-

mobile, in the late 19th cen-

tury, revolutionized the way

and fashion in which people

were transported about the

globe, in this past half century

the era of computerization has

been continuously evolving

before us.

Generation C By Eugene Haynes IV

See GENERATION C, page 3...

Just recently has this revolution

been sent into hyper-drive with

the recent discoveries & crea-

tions of such prominent social

networking sites like Face book,

MySpace (Old School), and Twit-

ter. Our revolution has arrived.

This revolution is and forever

will be known as Generation C. Is

your business ready?

I found myself in Bangkok on

April 21st at about 2:00AM after

a 28-hour trip from JFK. Despite

my fatigue, body odor and hun-

ger, I had nothing but feelings of

excitement and joy for my ad-

venture to begin.

It’s no mystery how I ended up

here. I went to college to be-

come a teacher and fell in love

with traveling along the way.

The combination of the two

seemed almost too good to be

true. Either way, I knew I had

to find out for myself. Packing

up my extra-large Kelty Back-

pack and moving to Thailand,

thus far, has been an eye-

opening experience.

I don’t consider myself the

stereotypical American; I don’t

eat fast food, I rarely get

stressed out, and I am generally

very happy– no offense, U.S.A.

A TASTE OF THAILAND By Annie Medonis

See THAILAND, page 5...

Page 3: Iv quarterly (summer2011)

Generation C is a cohort of the popu-

lous who, when comprised, becomes

the first generation born unaware of a

reality that has not been defined by the

convenience of the World Wide Web.

Born after 1995 A.D., this culture will

grow up without the inability to access

the internet; a generation coming into

its own within the next 15years.

Now, what qualifies Generation Computer-

ized? Generation C primarily involves &

pertains to those in the developed

world; those within The United States

of America, Europe,

China, Russia, India, and

Brazil; who will or have

spent the majority of

their adolescent lives

thereafter the year 2000,

in a developed world and

newly defined and devel-

oping economy.

In the coming decade

everyone will have been

shaped along with Gen-

eration C & a rapidly

moving economy. As

most individuals do now,

within the proceeding

years to come, expect

everyone you know to

have a PDD (Personal Digital Device).

The majority of communication will be

accessed through each individual’s pri-

mary electronic companion. Society, as

it does now, will continue to be heavily

reliant upon their cell phones and iPads;

shaping the world, and the economic

environment we all live in.

For Instance, Borders Book Store which

we have all grown to love for their

books and friendly customer service is

one company who, in solely my opin-

ion only, hadn’t evaluated the benefit of

the new wave of kindle & iTunes

(electronically available) book markets;

as did the rest of their competitors.

Coincidently Borders Book Stores,

throughout the nation, began to liqui-

date inventory & stores across the na-

tion to save the company & a bit of

their own equity. Smart. Wasn’t it?

Is your business ready? According to a

team of research & developers in a re-

cent issue of Booz & Company’s, Strat-

egy & Business Generation C will live at

home longer than previous generations,

which means an increase in disposable

income. It’s certainly something to

think about.

Here’s what to expect, in a rapidly mov-

ing, new, and younger society; progress.

The discoveries and advancements

made within the cell structures through-

out the prominent social networks have

already come to fruition.

Exemplary from a recent advertisement

in a “Bing.com” commercial on, newly

formatted digital cable stated, by a

“Bing . c om” representat ive that ,

“Opinions from friends will soon be

available.” Yes, “Bing.com” has incorpo-

rated the trusted opinions of your asso-

ciates to “help you make faster, more

informed decisions.” As said by the

“Bing.com Team” May 15, 2011 in a

recent article on “Bing.com” titled

“Facebooks Friends Now Fueling Faster

Decisions on Bing.”

Progress- Using such “Connect” but-

tons and society connected based re-

views to assist consumers in awareness

for product credibility, already exists. A

promising accomplishment such as this

could only lead one to believe that the

world created by this future generation

will be much more digi-

tally developed. Just as

television educates people

of the world on a broader

scale so will the digital

revolution of society.

With these newer possi-

bilities I’m inclined to

believe that: schools,

workers, companies, and

businesses; will all be on

somewhat of an equal

platform, using a more

equal opportunity and

highly capable World Wide

Web.

It would be a beautiful

sight to allow imagination

to see countries that hadn’t the necessi-

ties of proper books due to the consid-

erable costs of printing, now, able to

share with their students the wonderful

words and thoughts of Mr. Ernest He-

mingway or Sir Langston Hughes

through the simplicities of an iTunes

account and an Apple iPad or Amazon

Kindle. My only request (wish) is that

some consideration be taken for the

preservation of the movie theatres when

film distribution is disbursed among the

industry’s “Power Players” and “Direct-

2-You Film/ Television” become avail-

able.

Generation C By Eugene Haynes IV

See GENERATION C, page 6...

Don’t we all want to be a

“Super Star”? At some point in

our lives, sure we do. But, each

and every one of us has a dif-

ferent definition of “Super

Stardom.” What is it you be-

lieve in? Sometimes that’s a

good question to ask yourself,

it’s also good to answer that

question. I believe in a lot of

things, but I have learned that

one must first believe in them-

selves before believing in an-

other. When you do just that,

you open up a magical world

where all your dreams are a

possibility; where nothing can

stop you from building on that

dream and pursing it. You can

bet that when you begin the

ride of your life, you will look

back and regret nothing. For

without your past, you would

not have a future.

As children we were taught to

dream big, be what you want,

do what you want, and then,

just then– Life! Life hits you

and you begin to take fewer

risks. You climb into a com-

fort zone and live. Do you

regret not risking it all? I sup-

pose we all feel regret at some

point in time, but that’s life.

Being a “Super Star” isn’t all

about the glamour and glitz

we see on television, it’s about

being true to the ones that

matter. It’s about being true

to who you are and being

true to your faith. Someday

just stop and take inventory

on your life, check it out

from the outside looking in,

then go for it. I did, I went

all in and I couldn’t be hap-

pier. I do what I love to do

in a place like no other,

beautiful Southern Califor-

nia, home of the sun and

fun. I give credit to my artis-

tic ability to be able to say

that. Without my talents, I’m

not sure where I’d be. But, I

know where I am and I’m

home.

Interested in this refreshingly

young man for making it all

work. An exceptional achieve-

ment for this “team,” what Mr.

Last year proved to be a very

productive year for BobbyLon-

However, I realize I’m still

ignorant to so many things,

especially being a foreigner in a

country that I’ve never even

visited before. While a certain

level of ignorance will always

be present, traveling is the

most beneficial thing a person

can do in order to grow and

learn. If we continue to remain

in our comfort zones and

avoid challenges, life becomes

stagnant. Some people prefer

that predictable lifestyle. I, for

one, couldn’t think of anything

worse.

The food has been the easiest

thing to get used to here. I

have had the pleasure of enjoy-

ing a variety of curries, spicy

soups and exotic fruits over the

past few weeks. I used to say,

“I don’t really eat meat,” but

that has quickly turned into “I

guess I’ll try something new.”

While I do miss some simple

things like boxed cereal, it’s

amazing how quickly you for-

get about what was so recently

available to you.

The people here, foreigners

included, have made this tran-

sition extremely easy. Everyone

is so eager to assist with any

issues and/ or questions. You

can’t walk a few steps outside

without receiving a smile . The

first trip that my fellow teach-

ers and I took to Khanom

Beach ended with an Ocean-

side campfire and dinner with a

local family. There wasn’t

much speaking but our laughs

and smiles proved to be a suffi-

cient source of communication.

One of the first, and possibly

most important, things I recog-

nized as different here was the

ability for the natives to be so

genuinely happy, despite having

so much less than the United

States. I’m finding “less is more”

to be my mantra and it is provid-

ing me with an incredible sense

of freedom. Along with consum-

ing less comes the realization

that we don’t actually need most

of the possessions that we own.

My “new normal” is slowly but

surely developing. I’m not quite

as sensitive to the heat as I ini-

tially was. I enjoy walking every-

where. I enjoy learning more

and more of the language each

day. As for actually speaking it

effectively, I’m confident that

will come with time. In terms

of work, I have been hired as a

full-time Kindergarten teacher

at a bilingual school. Transla-

tion: I am teaching Kindergar-

ten in English to about 20 stu-

dents from 7:30AM-12:00PM

Monday through Friday. After

they go to lunch, they receive

Kindergarten in Thai and I

spend my afternoon planning

with the other English teach-

ers. While the whole vacation

state of mind has been lovely, I

look forward to meeting my

students and to begin the real

adventure– teaching!

It is among us, Family. So,

expect higher download

Everything we’ve done over

the last 60years, this revolution,

is now upon us and will soon

be complete.

Expect to be always able to be

Strategy and Business article

stated that 91% of all mobile

users keep their phones within

foreshadow, you ask- I would

pledge that the terms work and

personal time will continue to

coincide and remain in close

relationship with each other till

one day someone crowns a

new term for the two, now

conjoined (FLAX).

So, welcome a rising young

middle class where PDD’s

have become the primary es-

sential means for entrepre-

neurs, internet access, commu-

nication, activity, creativity,

work, school, play, entertain-

ment, and trade. Rejoice you

Star Wars fans (With Love).

good and positive people in

your life to cheer you on will

make a big difference.

I’m an artist. To me the defini-

tion of art is whatever you

want it to be. Writing is a fine

art which I have always found

interesting and now I get my

chance to share with you my

first article in print. While I

write this, I sit here on my

porch in the cool night air in

the canyon and I count my

blessings. My dreams have

been coming true right before

me. I simply take notice and

smile. I will put down my cigar

and set aside my lemonade and

say, “Thank you- Keep your

dreams alive.”

-complish in life just go for it.

Give your dreams all you can

and watch those doors become

closer and closer and then

watch them open one at a time,

sometimes two. Never give up

or take no for an answer. Be-

lieving in yourself is what will

launch you into “Super Star-

dom”. You, knowing you can

do it all, knowing you have

forth what you’ve been looking

for.

The internet is a fascinating

and resourceful place. Over the

past decade I’ve compiled a list

of websites that I frequent.

Today I have the opportunity

to share three websites from

that list with you.

First is www.google.com . Google

is a premier website. To a few

of my relatives Google is the

internet. You see Google is a

search engine. Anything typed

into Google will surely bring

(most of the time): business

cards, t-shirts, and postcards,

among many other advertising

products; a very important tool

for every individual. Whether

you’re in the office all day or

working in the restaurant, this

website is a great tool to assist

customers with customary tip

amounts or simply a product

used to invite a potential repeat

customer.
