--ICAW - International Conference on Alternate Worlds Annual Newsletter--

Sponsored by Contrary Books ~ a subsidiary of Toledo Publishing
Enterprises.  Visit our webstore at www.saturniancosmology.org/contrarybooks ~ our presence
was spearheaded into the internet thanks to Toledo Plasma Works, also
affiliated with TPE.

Toledo Publishing Enterprises also functions as the host of the
International Conference on Alternate Worlds (ICAW) based in Toledo, Ohio
for any interested parties dedicated to a holistic synthesis of varying
fields of study.

Join us - farmers, academics, loners, artists, stubborn opinionated
fellows, expert websires, disgruntled saturnian lieutenants, - all are
welcome to hearty discussions at the roundtable.

Free tours of our facilities with refreshments and beverages at noon
during the weekdays:

Floor one contains our lobby, lounge, and cafeteria area - where you can
meet and conversate with respectable ladies and gentlemen and enjoy
stimulating discussions on a plethora of diverse subjects. Internet access
for laptops is also available for your perusal.

Our gift shop was recently relocated to this floor as well, offering you a
book and souvenir shop - take home a part of the electric universe with
you - this week we have a sale on our mesmerizing plasma lamps.

Floor two houses our massive in-house physical library of relevant book
selections from across the globe. It also features a small museum, curated
with artifacts and replicas of important significance.

This months exhibition displays the fat lady statuettes of neolithic
antiquity.

Floor three contains our supercomputer databases, many teraflops and
petabytes of computing power and storage for definitive, carefully cited,
and unbiased calculations and dating of Saturnian events, to the day and
even exact hour.

A small theater is available for screenings of software simulations.

Floor four contains our planetarium, telescopic systems, and mechanical
physical models of the solar system for hands-on portrayal of
reconstructed events.

This machinery can be either hand operated or adjusted to a comfortable
speed and function by way of a few simple switches. Feel free to come in
with your questions and demands for visualizations of these complex
subjects.

The basement features our plasma laboratories, where you can witness vivid
experiments of spectacular cosmic forces in miniature scale.
 
Since our basement also contains our storage facilities for our equipment
and materials, it has given rise to various hearsay and rumors of
clandestine artifacts being hidden from public assessment and rigorous
peer review - we can only firmly dismiss such tales as we function as a
transparent organization to the best of our abilities.

Our many acres provide a space where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll in
our outdoor gardens, which feature a scale model of the solar system by
Jno Cook.  This superb installation adequately aids us in comprehending
the almost incomprehensible distances in interstellar travel, and
subsequently illuminates to disprove such notions as superfast spaceships
as depicted in pop sci-fi fantasies such as Star Trek.

We are conveniently located near all major transportation hubs and are a
short skip and hop to many fine dining establishments and cultural
centers.
