A wave farm – or wave power farm or wave energy park – is a collection of machines in the same location and used for the generation of wave power electricity. Wave farms can be either offshore or nearshore, with the former the most promising for the production of large quantities of electricity for the grid.
The Aguçadoura Wave Farm was the world's first commercial-scale wave farm. It was located 5 km (3 mi) offshore near Póvoa de Varzim north of Oporto in Portugal. The farm used three Pelamis wave energy converters to convert the motion of the ocean surface waves into electricity, totalling to 2.25MW in total installed capacity. The farm first generated electricity into the Portuguese grid in July 2008 and was officially opened on the 23rd of September 2008, by the Portuguese Minister of Economy. The wave farm was shut down two months after the official opening in November 2008 due to technical problems with the machines.
Funding for a wave farm in Scotland was announced on February 20, 2007 by the Scottish Executive, at a cost of over £4 million, as part of a £13 million funding packages for marine power in Scotland. The farm will be the world's largest with a capacity of 3MW generated by four Pelamis machines. See also: Renewable energy in Scotland.
In physics, a wave is a disturbance or oscillation that travels through spacetime, accompanied by a transfer of energy. Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium—that is, with little or no associated mass transport. They consist, instead, of oscillations or vibrations around almost fixed locations. Waves are described by a wave equation which sets out how the disturbance proceeds over time. The mathematical form of this equation varies depending on the type of wave.
There are two main types of waves. Mechanical waves propagate through a medium, and the substance of this medium is deformed. The deformation reverses itself owing to restoring forces resulting from its deformation. For example, sound waves propagate via air molecules colliding with their neighbors. When air molecules collide, they also bounce away from each other (a restoring force). This keeps the molecules from continuing to travel in the direction of the wave.
A farm is an area of land, or, for aquaculture, lake, river or sea, including various structures, devoted primarily to the practice of producing and managing food (produce, grains, or livestock), fibres and, increasingly, fuel. It is the basic production facility in food production. Farms may be owned and operated by a single individual, family, community, corporation or a company. A farm can be a holding of any size from a hectare to several thousand hectares.
The word in the sense of an agricultural land-holding derives from the verb "to farm" a revenue source, whether taxes, customs, rents of a group of manors or simply to hold an individual manor by the feudal land tenure of "fee farm". The word is from the medieval Latin noun firma, also the source of the French word ferme, meaning a fixed agreement, contract, from the classical Latin adjective firmus-a-um meaning strong, stout, firm. As in the medieval age virtually all manors were engaged in the business of agriculture, which was their principal revenue source, so to hold a manor by the tenure of "fee farm" became synonymous with the practice of agriculture itself.

If you were me
And I was you
If you had to play my part out
What would you do
Two crazy stories
Two different views
If you were me
And I was you
If you were me
And I was you
What kind of crazy things
Would I have to do
Who likes to party
Who stays at home
If you were me
And I was you
Never like strangers
Though never the same
Two circus sideshows
That laughed in the rain
You stayed with the full moon
You searched for the stars
Thank God in His heaven
Ave, ave verum Corpus De Maria Virgine
Vere passum, immolatum in cruce pro homine
Cuius latus perforatum
Fluxit aqua et sanguine
Esto nobis praegustatum
Mortis in examine
See through this teaching life
Shines around my being
Out in the mists of timelessness
I see your face
Hold me closer now
Each and every feeling now is come
At last this majesty is God
Hear me through your love
See me in the light you are
Hold me closer to the earth
And all that gives (And all that is)
Now I feel your true light
Now I see your pure light
Now I hold this love within my heart
Is come
God of love of light will shine
Ave, Ave Verum corpus natum ex Maria Virgine
Vere passum immolatum in cruce pro homine
Cujus latus perforatum unda fluxit et sanguine
Estonobis proegustatum in mortis examine
(Troy Seals - Graham Lyle)
I met someone I need to talk about
Never been so certain, with so many doubts
My heart's afraid to be alone with him
In late night hours, when the lights are dim
Chorus
If you were me
Would you take that kind of chance
Step into his arms and dance
Into the night
If you were me
Would you let your feelings go
Or hold him back and never know
If you were me
I've always played it safe with this heart of mine
Same old kind of romance time after time
And now he's calling from the wilder side
Last night I felt like if I'd only tried
Chorus
Last night I felt like if I'd only tried
I might be spendin' my life by his side
You were the one thing, that I could count on
You were my everything
And then I found out that we mean nothing from someone on the street
And I never saw it comming never saw it comming
No I never saw it comming never saw something
I believe all the things you said I believe you
If you where me would you push you
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you
Would you cry out would u break down
Would you wait for karma to come around
Would you give up
Would it be enough
To make you never ever wanna be in love
What would you do what would u do if you were me
Would it be through
I dont know whats left to talk about but I found it hard to leave
With us so closure how could you want her
When you were still with me
And I never saw it comming never saw it comming
No I never saw it comming never saw something
If you where me would you push you
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you
Would you cry out would u break down
Would you wait for karma to come around
Would you give up
Would it be enough
To make you never ever wanna be in love
What would you do what would u do if you were me
Would it be through
You turned something so good so bad
Threw out all the things that we had
Put yourself in my shoes its so sad
I believed all the things you said I believed in you
If you where me would you push you
Would you turn the other cheek and forgive you
Would you cry out would u break down
Would you wait for karma to come around
Would u give up
Would it be enough
To make you never ever wanna be in love
What would you do what would u do if you were me
Would it be through
Would it be through
What would u do if you where me

How many roads must a girl walk on
And how many days must she spend hanging round
And I want you to be with me can't you see
So what would you do if you were me
How many roads must a girl walk on
Cause I want you
And how many days must she spend hanging round
Cause I want you
And I want you to be with me can't you see
Do you want me too
So what would you do if you were me
Like the stars need the night
Like the flowers need the rain
I had a vision in my latest dream
And since that day I'm on my way
Endless days are left behind
And I try to find you
Find out what's behind your mask
That's why I ask I need to know
How many roads must a girl walk on
Cause I want you
And how many days must she spend hanging round
Cause I want you
And I want you to be with me can't you see
Do you want me too
So what would you do if you were me
At night I dream that you're with me
And when I wake up it's me all alone
I wish I could see through you
Could see with your eyes
And find out what's behind your mask
thats's why I have to ask
in the midst of all these maybe's i found the
never,somewhere has a border but nowhere goes on forever,and
i am the messenger from this address,caught in a different
kind of bind an organized mess,acceptance is for those who
find something acceptable,it's so contemptuous the things we
call respectable
*if i were me,i'd bind myself with the burden of the
free,break loose of this soap opera slavery,let the river
back into the sea,if i were me
it's hard to enjoy the world you have when all you do is
dream of a better one,but i just like to look at the bullet
i don't even own a gun,when we can all call each other
customer then it will be a perfect world,when the white flag
of surrender is unfurled,then the evil empire can drop it's
disguise,and big business man will be know as the master of
lies
*if i were me,i'd crack the code of this misery,let the
mirror glean what we refuse to see,shine a light in the bed
of democracy,if i were me
and they know how to turn the truth into a laughing
stock,just some petty paranoiac trying to manufacture solid
rock,and it's colder than we could ever know that black hole
of greed,toss a scrap to the needy just enough to raise the
debt and the need
*if i were me,i'd live off the crumbs of reality,make the
judge pay the legal fee,forget how to live and just learn to
and so i struggle,like all,thru a world that is a mirror of
the worst in us,thru separate paths in our mutual misery,the
soul stopping boredom of fruitless labor,stock market
suicides,king of the heap,ant of the dung hill,we all sale
ourselves the latest version of reality,and sale each other
the latest escape from it,all thinking that the machine will
run faultless,if we each assume our proper duty,all embalmed
with the liquid gold parasite of the american dream,placated
with the vision that with a little hard work you can get
somewhere,when nowhere,and how to get there,is all so clear
