We helped a fellow helicopter enthusiast back on 2nd August 2009 Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi passport number A 00414 178 from No 531 Mahmood Tukur Road Bayero University, Kano P.O. Box 65, Bayero University Kano, Newsite, Nigeria. With our sponsorship he came to Malaysia from London to our site and stayed freely in our hotel in exchange for promising to work on a helicopter project. Unfortunately he absconded after taking money from us, roamed around Malaysia with his friend who threatened us and extorted money from us. If you can help us get £3,570 back from Mubarak Abdullahi then we will be relieved.  His UK number was +447771129454 Mubarak Abdullahi is said to be from Bayero University, Kano. He did his BSc in Physics. We asked him to come to us in Malaysia and build helicopters. We paid for the airline return tickets from London to Kuala Lumpur. We even paid for transport in London including the metro and bus. It's not just money we lost b...

Good jobs and household riches remain out of reach Nov 24th 2022 In 1985 two articles about the Bangladeshi population of east London appeared—one in an academic journal, the other in an education report. Both were despondent. Bangladeshi children were “seriously underachieving” at school, said the education study. The academic paper described knots of unemployed men hanging around the streets, and forecast even worse for Bangladeshis as London deindustrialised. Barring a major intervention, the authors wrote, “they will become more marginalised than at present.” Happily, something has happened to a group that accounts for about one percent of the population of England and Wales. Over the past two decades Bangladeshis in England have gone from performing worse than white Britons in the gcse exams taken at age 16 to performing considerably better (see chart). No other ethnic group has improved as much. Bangladeshis now compete for top university places and good jobs. Their progress su...

Its wind farms are key to the country’s net-zero hopes Nov 24th 2022 One turn of an “sg 8.0-167 dd” turbine generates enough electricity to run a British home for a day and a night. sg stands for Siemens Gamesa, a subsidiary of the German industrial giant, which makes the machines in Hull. The 8.0 is the turbine’s maximum output in megawatts (mw). The 167 is the diameter of its rotor in metres: it sweeps out in a circle equivalent in area to about three football pitches. And the dd stands for direct drive, an electricity-generation technology with no fiddly gears to wear out. At Hornsea 2, a wind farm located off the Yorkshire coast, 165 of these vast turbines form a field of steel stretching farther than the eye can see. Hornsea 2, which became fully functional in August, is now the largest wind farm in the world. When the wind really blows it can power 1.4m homes. The development of its offshore wind industry is one of Britain’s biggest infrastructural successes. The first farms, ins...

Social Business name: Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV) Waterways Transport Services. The problem statement: Currently 90% of global cargo transportation occurs via waterways, which has a large carbon footprint due to vessel’s emissions. International shipping’s carbon footprint is unlikely to change anytime soon as it adheres to traditions which are difficult to change.  Moreover most waterways transportation occurs in a very centralized way. Our solution provides a viable, disruptive, more environmentally friendly and decentralized shipping service for both local and global waterways.  Big idea: Develop, manufacture and operate autonomous solar and/ or wind powered sailing unmanned/uncrewed surface vessels (USV) similar to USA’s Saildrone or UK’s oceandrone.tech made of sustainable materials, incorporating bamboo and jute.  These USVs which can operate 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, 365-days a year autonomous operations in all sea conditions for shipping. The development...

 a realisation that the UK can no longer economically compete with top countries, military experts told Business Insider. Dr Jan Honig, a senior lecturer in war studies at King's College London said it is  "highly ironic" that Brexit could mean the UK can longer fund its defence. Julian Lewis, Chair of the UK's defence committee told BI he is now "concerned about whether Theresa May will be able to give defence the money it needs." Theresa May  this week  asked Britain's defence secretary to justify the UK's role as a "tier one" military power, causing dismay in the Ministry of Defence. Underlying the statement is a realisation that the UK can no longer economically compete with top powers, defence experts told Business Insider. "It's a reflection of our economic status - times are tough," said Tim Ripley, a defence analyst, adding: "It's all about money.. if you don't have money you can't spend it....
