Life is meaningful, only when one wishes to make it. We are creatures of time and we’ll wither away in it. The little moments of joy we find and create are all that will live with us.Archive for News
Anonymous Companies
Very relevant issue.
It seems companies are being used as a mask by some.
AirLander
A new innovation in Air Travel.
This airship can maneuver like the wing of an airplane. It can land on any reasonably flat surface and lift off without infrastructure, then traveling for days avoiding difficult weather conditions, moving and hauling tones of load.

Transatlantic Free Trade Area (TAFTA)
A free trade area is always a welcome sigh for any economy. It is a form of economic emancipation where economies inclusively operate to provide value at higher levels.
While it has it’s positives there are aspects of increased competitiveness for businesses and a new balance to be sought. A new pivot where market forces find their center and strengths.
In my view this is a welcome sign. The world needs more borderless interactions that are less regulated at the macro level and more driven by the forces of demand and supply at the core. The challenge in the new landscape would indeed be the survivability of lesser lean players who could face a major windfall if they do not change. In time the impact of this will leverage upon the Asian economies as well, more so if this partnership between Europe and US includes increased manufacturing through automation!
As a 46% collective representation of world GDP coupled with the effects of a recently signed free trade deal between Canada and Europe. This entire order of change represents a near 60% global economic momentum.
Now we need to see its consequent effects from Asia.

Dubai – What to expect!
Debt seems to be the number one killer in todays economic space. It’s becoming a necessary evil that no one is certain for when it will bite!
With the US looming into similar shadows, what can be expected of all those dependent economies across the globe. The UAE is vastly dependent on the trajectory of the US economy. It visibly proved its interlinked relationship in the last financial crisis. What can now be expected with Dubai itself being so heavily debt burdened, remains to be seen.
This is what Bloomberg projects:
Dubai Debt Costs to Rise on $7.1 Billion Expo Spend: Arab Credit
In this increasingly uncertain climate one thing that can be taken as certain is that only those economies will show stability or growth that are self sustained. Those who have their debts in control and those that have been prudent not to let trade deficits take place.
In times like these it’s always the basic economic formulas that work.
Do not spend beyond your means and invest wisely.

Super Cognition, Super Human
It seems a new turn of events is about to happen. The new era to unfold for mankind, yet again, is called ‘Cognitive Computing’.
Soon IBM, the world’s largest maker of super computers is unfolding the power of its super computers in a product that’s been dubbed ‘Watson’. A cloud based cognitive computing platform that will enable instant big data processing for high cognitive outputs for general professionals.
This basically means that in layman’s terms people will now be empowered with super computer cognition to deliver their objectives. Their thoughts and projects will be supported with super cognition borrowed from IBM computers over a cloud-based provisioning model.
A whole new world can be conceived with this potential. Good or bad, perhaps only time will tell, best.

Elon Musk
When people view successful people, most often they consider that their success is attributed to some exceptional back or support system. That there must be someone behind them to propel the success of those who do find it and find it good.
This guy proves it wrong.
Being born in humble beginnings does prepare those with brains and vision, both. To persist and find a realization of their dreams, and for everyone of those with vision, success means and stands for different things; you just have to know, what exactly you are looking for!
I meet this guy in Zanzibar on the eve of 2012 New Year. He does not know me and I did not know him either. A chance meeting, probably even he does not remember for what I come to know of him now. We exchanged a strong handshake at the reception desk of the Kendwa Rocks Beach resort and I offered to help in the matter he faced at the desk, to which he thanked and appreciated.
A year and a half later I come to know who he was.
This is a great video to watch for those who aspire to grow as business people. Who feel their vision will one day see the light of day and who feel, critics are not the yard stick to measure our successes or failures by…
Cheers to all those of my dearest friends. Enjoy.
