A canoe (North American English) or Canadian canoe (British English) is a small narrow boat, typically human-powered, though it may also be powered by sails or small electric or gas motors. Canoes are usually pointed at both bow and stern and are normally open on top, but can be decked over (i.e. covered, similar to a kayak).
In its human-powered form, the canoe is propelled by the use of paddles, usually by two people. Paddlers face in the direction of travel, either seated on supports in the hull, or kneeling directly upon the hull. Paddling can be contrasted with rowing, where the rowers usually face away from the direction of travel and use mounted oars (though a wide canoe can be fitted with oarlocks and rowed). Paddles may be single-bladed or double-bladed.
The oldest recovered canoe in the world is the Pesse canoe found in the Netherlands. According to radiocarbon dating analysis it was constructed somewhere between 8200 and 7600 BC. This canoe is exhibited in the Drents Museum in Assen, Netherlands.
Martha Stewart (née Kostyra; August 3, 1941) is an American business magnate, author, magazine publisher, and television personality. As founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, she has gained success through a variety of business ventures, encompassing publishing, broadcasting, merchandising, and electronic commerce. She has written numerous bestselling books, is the publisher of the Martha Stewart Living magazine, and her syndicated talk show, Martha, is broadcast throughout the world.
In 2004, Stewart was entangled in the ImClone insider trading affair and there was speculation that the incident would effectively be the end of her media empire. She began a comeback campaign in 2005 and her company returned to profitability in 2006. Stewart rejoined the board of directors of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia in 2011 and became chairman of her namesake company again in 2012.
Martha Stewart was born in Jersey City, New Jersey to middle-class Polish American parents, Edward "Eddie" Kostyra (c. 1912 – 1979) and Jadwiga Martha Ruszkowski Kostyra (b. September 16, 1914, Buffalo, New York – d. November 16, 2007, Norwalk, Connecticut). She lived in Jersey City until the age of 3, when her family moved to Nutley. She was raised in Nutley along with her five siblings. She took the name "Grace" for her confirmation name before graduating from Nutley High School.

Zeke Kelso: Miss Randall, I'm afraid you underestimate me. We shall proceed with the pawprinting.
I have seen you diving
In your anguish
Did you notice
Why you strike the pose
And you´re frightened
of your soul and so...
Only your dog knows
What you´ve been trying to
hide inside
Don´t you act
in front of me
It´s just a waste of time
Ref: Now we are close to END
Listen to the world of wasted land
Now we are close to END
Listen to the voice of promise land
Then I am walking through the little street
And there are many faces full of lies
I´m not interested what people think and settle behind
Cause it tries to hurts
MORNING OF MY LIFE
Ref: Now we are close to...
Sometimes I look like a sinner
I wanna be the same as a winner
You have a chance in your life
Don´t be afraid of the words
That will degrade your little person
It´s all about the trust and reasons
I listen to my conscience everytime
I hate people which make me cry
Ref: Now we are....
The only time When my mood feels right
To be alone in the town
Celebrate the dawn
Coming now
Can anybody hear me?
Can any loser feel this way?
Have you already won?
Recognize your reckoning,
Contemplate your grave mistakes,
Have we already won?
5am is far too early to feel that you are way too late,
The day is already done
Sole-less shoes migrate toward the last black grain,
Destroying an endless ambition
That'll train, train, train
Can anybody hear me?
Does every story end this way?
Have we already won?
...have we already won?
"Look it, this is a beautiful day
Look, the sun is shining
It's a beautiful world
