News Analysis: Mariel, Cuba, readies its Deep Draft Harbor for arrival of larger ships. It is merely 35 kilometers [22 miles] west of Havana’s International Airport. As such, Global Customers will find it convenient to engage in discussions, in Mariel, with the Cubans.
The Archaic U.S. Embargo should be immediately trashed as a Worthless Anachronism of past Myopic “Cold War” Thinking. Beyond hurting the Cuban People, it created an “Ogre Image” of America. Such maintained “Juvenile” Behavior by the United States has harmed, and is presently harming, relations with other countries in both Central and South America [and elsewhere as well].
The Administration in Washington, D.C. should realize that International Trade leads to increased wealth for Countries. America needs jobs NOW for its citizens as well as more inflow of funds from increased commerce. Negative rhetoric creates no jobs; Willing trade, amongst nations, does.
There is no “Insignificant Country” when it comes to importance of Global Commerce. A Large Beach is made from many Small Grains of Sand.

News Analysis: A Guyana Ice Shortage has hampered its Fishing Industry’s prospects. Since it is absolutely required to keep the fish caught, chilled, ice in the ships’ holds must be available. The pricing currently established for ice is too high for the Market of Fishermen.
Entrepreneurs, who become aware of this ‘Demand/Supply” quandary [as it relates to Price] may want to think about investment in acquiring Ice Production Equipment for Guyana. Minimal Capital would be required and the demand should be significant for ice.
A smart businessman realizes: “In Adversity, Are The Seeds Of Prosperity”. One should look, think smart, then act.

News Analysis: Saudi Arabia commenced building its “Kingdom Tower”, a 1,000 plus meter high structure containing more than 200 [estimated] floors. The Project, led by Saudi Arab Visionary Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal, Chairman of Kingdom Holding Company, is scheduled to be completed in a little over five years.
A Project of this Scope requires: Foresight, Technical Experience, Skilled Labor, and Capital. The Process of Selection of Experts for a undertaking of this size requires an International Matrix of people who can perform their expertise in coordination with others. It takes someone of the Prince’s ability to properly choose those Corporations and individuals.
Since “Kingdom Tower” is ‘State-of-the-Art’ in many Design, Engineering, Materials, and Construction aspects, the lessons learned from it will have Global Construction Benefits.
Saudi Arabia and its Leaders should be very proud both of the Project itself, as well as it being a testament to their fortitude in proceeding forth with this Innovative Engineering Masterpiece.

News Analysis: Emirates Airlines Engineering Trainees are getting a One-of-a-Kind Opportunity to better comprehend elements of Aircraft Construction. This build activity, albeit, rudimentary, nevertheless provides the impetus for ‘Seeds of Thought’ to germinate by the students. Required of good Aircraft Engineers is the ability to understand Systemically not only what has been built [Airbus A380, for example] but moreover, HOW IT WAS BUILT.
Learning about some of the Inherent ‘Frailties’ of Composites: The trainees “Drilling Problems” as well as many other Aircraft Industry known: i.e., Delamination due to stress; Adhesive degeneration caused by Solar Radiation Exposure at ‘Cruise’ [thereby leading to possible delamination]; Severe Carbon/Carbon Surface Abrasion due to particulates in the air (sometimes more severe due to Volcanism) and [U.S. B2 Bombers Constant Maintenance Problems from particulates]; Cracking ‘like an Egg Shell’ when merely bumped [let alone “Belly Landing” due to faulty Landing Gear]; Questionable LONG TERM Repair Integrity without using an ‘Autoclave’ as in Initial Construction by the “Air Frame”; Composites do not last as long as metals due to the aforementioned; Non-Metallic Thermal Behavior leading to constant “Rain In The Plane” Conditions.
In the United States, Beech Aircraft, several year ago sold their Stylish-Designed “Starships” to the public. Reportedly in the Press, due to inherent problems with composites, ALL of their “Starships” were re-purchased from their customers and the aircraft were Scrapped [due to allegedly Potential Legal Liability]; Production of the Starship, of course, ceased. “Rain in the Plane” was Newspaper Reported to be severe. Beech Aircraft Company is to be commended for not putting the public at risk. One can read about this “Starship” Project, and its unfortunate end, using the Internet. This Aircraft History is not discussed by those parties selling Composite Aircraft.
The “Gain” of using Composites to the Airlines is “Lighter Weight” vs. the MANY ‘Frailties’ inherent in that material. Some forget that “Metal’s Behavior Is Predictable” [due to its long and reliable usage in Aircraft Construction]. This should be realistically evaluated by Airlines.
Emirates Airline, with its trainees learning about the aforementioned Attributes of Composites, as well as other aircraft related subjects is to be lauded for its “Out-Of-The-Box” Thinking.

News Analysis: Severe Storms, are called ‘Cyclones’, ‘Hurricanes’, or ‘Typhoons’ [CHT’s]. The names are interchangeable.
‘CHT’s’ may increase both in Intensity and Number in coming years due to Climate Change. Friday’s Gigantic Storm in the Philippines may be evidence of this.
They are largely a product of increased energy variations in the atmosphere as well as growth in moisture content. Since there is less Ice at the Poles, water vapor has accelerated. This, added to a slight increase in Global Warming, assist in ‘CHT’ Formation.
The Adversity posed by these ‘CHT’ Events pose Opportunities to Investors around the world. Technologies to be developed, once funded by Entrepreneurs, can help minimize the weather hazard effects. Individuals typically provide funding much quicker than Governments. Their quick economic actions can translate into many benefits for the public exposed to the chance of ‘CHT’ Exposure.

News Analysis: New Zealand Dung Beetles [DB] have caused concern to some citizens because of their microbe containing deposits. However, since the ‘DB’ ‘”…remove a habitat and feeding resource for flies, which are known to spread disease to humans and animals,”….’ they pose less of a risk.
The DB, which uses Astral Navigation for travel, is found everywhere but Antarctica. They are promoted for use in Animal Husbandry, in many nations, for the reduction in surface manure.
Research [and the knowledge derived therefrom] can make a “Foe” into a “Friend” when it comes to increases in Quality and Yield with Flora and/or Fauna.

News Analysis: Norway Sovereign Fund has quickly grown so the percentage taken from it, only 2.9%, is conservative. Since up to four percent can be withdrawn in a year, the government has acted with fiscal restraint. The $23,000,000,000.00 to be withdrawn will help the Norwegian Population with any possible economic slowdown.
The Norwegian government is to be commended with the Economically Judicious Policy of Non-Profligate Spending. Some other Governments, on other continents, favor Extravagant Spending. Perhaps they naively think merely printing Great Sums of Money is easy and solves short term needs. They have no thought, nor care, of the long-term damage such gross wastefulness has on a Country’s Economy.
