Gratitude to Hong Kong & Singapore for Inspiring

Hong Kong  The journey of pursuing freedom in mobility through homebuilt helicopters started in documentation form thanks to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The PolyU business plan competition has inspired me to team up with a student from Myanmar, who I met while having lunch in a cafeteria at The International Islamic University Malaysia where I was enrolled at the time.  Although the plan didn't win the competition, I was able to have documentation which helped me market development of homebuilt helicopter development in the region. The Peninsula Hotel with Twin Rooftop Helipads at the Twin Tower in Hong Kong along with The Batman & Jackie Chan movies showing incredible scenes showcasing helipads of Hong Kong as well as several helipads, helistops and heliports around it's territory which is quite a lot compared to the area and inspires people to find a way to enjoy their heli development opportunities and fly them around. However this is where the disconnect star...

What the high tech capital 'advanced' society shows the world about hunger challenges

Image
Did you know that although Silicon Valley is one of the #richest areas of the #world 1/4 people in Silicon Valley are at risk of #hunger? Approximately 26.8% of the #population qualify as ‘food insecure’ based on risk factors such as missing meals or relying on food banks. Even with a full-time #job, putting #food on the table hasn’t been simple. A survey of more than 4,000 students found about half have skipped meals due to the cost. “You’re not thinking when you pick up your shirts from dry cleaning, or getting your landscaping done, or going to a restaurant, or getting your child cared for, ‘is that person hungry?’ It’s very easy to assume they are fine.” Peralta earns too much to qualify for food stamps, but not enough not to worry. She pays $2,000 a month – or three-quarters of her paycheck – to rent the small apartment she shares with her youngest daughter. “Even just the two of us, it’s still a struggle.” So once a month, she picks up supplies at the food bank to supple...

The gap between the entrenched participants and new challengers in ever increasing

Look at the new mobile phone Apps and Web services , Most are underpinned by advertising in an increasing crowded marketplace for traditional goods and services and are not highly valued products in their own right. You state that there is no problem with automation currently creating unemployment in Germany but this does not mean it isn’t elsewhere or wont in the future. Germany enjoys a massive trade and current account surplus with the rest if the world . This until now has allowed it to not only create additional jobs directly related to the surplus but also many more internal service sector jobs that are supported by it. In our technologically driven marketplace the incumbents have a vast advantage due to knowledge and expertise that take decades to foster and accumulate plus brand and market prestige plus already possessing large economies of scale which also allows them large long term research budgets to keep ahead. Given the unit cost of production/distribution is getting...

Open borders is said to lead to tapping vast solar energy & wealth potential

Image
The function of borders is to keep workers trapped in low-wage areas that companies can freely exploit. Every worker – whether from a rich country or a poor country – suffers as a result. Ending borders would mean an end to this type of competition between workers. It would make us all better off. These better off workers & better allocation of resources can help us focus on greater good Proposed or Under Development projects like the solar projects below Place Capacity GW Name Note   KSA 200 [100] Rjim Maatoug 4.5  [101] TuNur [102]   Karnataka 2 Pavagada   ARE 1.6-2 Benban [103] As it stands, borders leave workers stranded and competing against each other. The way the global economy is set up is based entirely on competition. This makes us think that potential allies are irreconcilable enemies. The real culprits, however, are businesses that pick up and leave at the drop of a hat, that fire long-time workers in favor  of cheaper newcomers, an...

Rich students of AUD should improve guest workers livelihood

It's time to improve the life those who work hard Why Gulf Arabs hate migrants from Bangladesh, India & Pakistan? IN THE shop next to my house, there is a home delivery service which is run by an Indian. He is a good man, hardworking and devoted to his job. I talk to him whenever he delivers something to my house and he talks to me about the time he spent working in Abu Dhabi and of his dream to live in London. Last week I asked him to deliver a newspaper to my house. When he delivered it to me, he asked me whether I wrote in it. I told him that I did and he asked me to write about why young Saudis hate foreign workers, particularly Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis. He asked, “Why do they throw rocks at us when they see us in the street?” He said that in India they were taught to love others because that is the teaching of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). I was moved by his words and promised him that I would write on the subject. At American Universi...
