When Cold Is Really Cold An Insulation’s Performance Must Be Bold

News Analysis: Cold weather closings of  Oil Refineries, Passengers in both Airplanes and in stranded Railway Cars seeking blankets, Buses with chilled riders, and New Large Buildings, using record amounts of Energy to keep warm; these all demonstrate ‘Cosmetic Insulations'(using Entrapped Air as the Insulator) DO NOT PERFORM IN FRIGID WEATHER!

An Insulation’s Performance Must Be Bold and NOT BE a Fuel Source for Fires. Petrochemicals and entrapped air in Foam Insulations only require Heat for the creation of fire. If a fire does occur, as in an Aircraft or Building, occupants cannot have Glass Particulates be released into the air for their inhalation into their lungs, as can Fiberglass. 

“Mega-Temp™ Insulation” Performs in Frigid Weather and was designed for extreme Cold Weather use such as in Aircraft, or in Arctic Conditions. It is the “Active Molecular Insulation™” which has been performing boldly for MANY YEARS in Siberia, Russia. It does Not Freeze in Liquid Nitrogen at -195.8C (-320.5F).

The Cost for the disruption of  Commercial Commerce throughout the Northern Hemisphere is estimated as Several Trillion Dollars! This can easily be reduced by using Spray-On “Mega-Temp™ Insulation” in Oil Refineries, Aircraft Fuselage Interiors, Passenger Trains, Freight Boxcars, Buses, Buildings (and anywhere else Severe Cold Weather will Impact).

Climate Change is evidencing this year’s Northern Hemisphere Freeze; Weather Experts think this pattern will continue into future Winter Seasons. Being Pro-active, People can stay Safe and Comfortable,  Refineries remain open, and, Energy Bills may plummet by using “Mega-Temp™ Insulation” as needed. It performs Boldly in the Cold.

The Insulations of the Past, which are Widely Advertised, are OBVIOUSLY FAILING EVERYONE TODAY.

A Word To The Wise Is Sufficient.

Reality.

If the Greek Bribees Are Caught And Punished, What About The Foreign Bribers?

News Analysis: Greece had created a Financial Debacle of its own accord by ‘allowing’ Foreign Defense Contractors to bribe Greek Officials unabated.  How well ‘Vetted” were those in Power in Greece PRIOR TO Signing Contracts with Defense Contractors?  What Forensic Accounting occurred on EVERYBODY in positions of Authority to be bribed? What Agency in Greece had the Ability to Investigate and the Power to Punish any wrongdoers? Which Bribees vacated Greece and moved to America?

The Millions of Dollars which have exchanged hands from Bribers (Foreign Defense Contractors) to Bribees (Greek Politicians and Defense Officials) have yet to have serious consequences for both groups, many people say. That they committed “Economic Treason To Greece” is understandable, individuals think.  

To date, which of Greece’s Highest Level Government Officials, who have Swiss or other Off-Shore Bank Accounts (from their Foreign Defense Donors) have been tried, convicted, and put in Prison? Instead,  individually, the Sanctimonious Uttering of each  is: “Then Exo Xpimata!”

“Scata!” many concerned Greek Citizens might declare of the Bribees.

Greek Prosecutors should turn collected Defalcation Evidence over  to the International Court. This for favorable dispositions against Foreign Defense Contractors over which they have no jurisdiction. The Bribers should be punished severely. The Misery they caused Millions of Greeks is Deplorable; almost as much as did the Greek Bribees.

When Landing Gears Fail, A Metal Aircraft Fuselage Outperforms Composites

News Analysis: Landing Gear Failure of a Metal Fuselage Boeing 767-300ER of Saudi Arabia Airlines,  illustrate a safety concern many Aircraft Structural Engineers have been concerned about Composite Fuselages: “Detonated ‘Egg-Shell’ Energy Transfer”. In this incident, because it HAS a Metal Fuselage, only ‘Crushed Deformation’ occurred on the ‘Aircraft’s Underside. The Metal’s Deformation Process converted the Kinetic Energy back to Potential Energy. 

A Composite Fuselage, experiencing the same event, would evidence, the Kinetic Energy causing Embrittlement of the Adhesive/Fabric Matrix (Plasticizer Failure) with a Energy Release causing  the Composite Material to ‘fly apart’, typically, along Energy Vectors. Visibly, there would not be ‘Denting’ like metal. An appearance of Detonation, like a small explosion had taken place would prevail; pieces of the underside of the fuselage would be strewn everywhere.

In this particular Airliner crash due to faulty landing gear, 29 people were injured. One might reasonably expect a Composite Fuselage Incident to be far worse.

★ European Countries Debt Load Is Estimated At 134% Of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

News Analysis: Increasing again in an overall “Soft Macro-Economy” are the Debt Loads of the various European Countries. Since the various Central Banking Organizations have varied “Threshold Limit Points” numerically, they are in disagreement of the increasing danger of a Recession.

Members of the European Community have decreasing Exports and increasing elderly. Outflow of Funds is growing faster than inflow of revenue as a result. Finland in particular faces that reality now.

Germany appears to be the only Manufacturing Country in Europe with presently Significant “Larger Dollar” Exports” (identifiable to the country) such as Automobiles, for example.

Italy with its Ferrari/Maserati and  Lamborghini Automobiles participate on a much smaller Export Level numerically.

To assist in providing an Economic Turnabout will have to be the Consortium of  what formerly was called ‘European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company N.V.’ (EADS) but is NOW “The Airbus Group”. It consists of: Airbus, Airbus Defense & Space, and Airbus Helicopters (all ‘Big-Ticket’ Items). It exports to the entire World  can help all of the countries in Europe participating in various aspects of its manufacture, improve their ‘GDP’.

If European Aerospace and Automobile Manufacturers continue to focus their Marketing and Sales efforts in the Middle East and Asia they will succeed. “Going Where The Money Is” should be their Credo. Automobile Manufacture and Export Sales will help their ‘GDP’

European Continent Cellular Telephone And Computer Manufacturers presently have a Superb Opportunity to Fabricate “Bug-Less” Equipment which can be sold around the world. If both Internal Componentry, Software, and the like are NOT CONTAMINATED with “Invasive Electronics” the world populations will flock to purchase said devices. People and Corporations Want Their Privacy To Remain Private. Such sales will help spur on each country’s ‘GDP’.

It is very interesting to note that while there appears to be a slight regression towards Increases In Country’s Debt Loads, many Stock Exchanges are gleeful at the prices of securities on their Exchanges. One must ask: If Country Debt Loads are high with NO foreseeable major improvements expected in 2014, is Financial Manipulation being played to entice investors into a another mere “Bubble”? Are the “Bubble Masters” at work in a ‘Financial Cabal’? If so, when will the “Bubble Masters” decide to exit the “Mirage” (taking their profits with them)?

As Governments show concern about their Country’s  Debt Loads, should not Investors also exercise similar caution in this “Contrived Market” with  Poor ‘Fundamentals’?

There are Financial Opportunities in Markets. However, to look for them wearing “Rose Colored Glasses” is a Fool’s Endeavor.

★ Cellular Telephones And Computers (CT&C) Have So many ‘Bugs” In Them Even ‘Pest Abatement’ Is Effete

News Analysis:  The Effects are the Same, if either through Intent or Negligence, of Some  ‘CT&C’ Manufacturers:  U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) Electronic “Bugs” are Pervasive in such Equipment. Users of the ‘Gear’ can now be Assured that a ‘Phantom Audience’ of the ‘NSA’ are monitoring their communications (24/7/365). Naturally, ‘Denial’ by the alleged Manufacturers is the Public Plea. The veracity of their commentaries are suspect, IT Experts suggest. Data which appears to originate from the ‘NSA’ itself makes “short shrift” of their Claims of Innocence. Perhaps because some of the ‘CT&C’ Companies have been “Bought and Paid For” by the ‘NSA’ one can understand these Manufacturers chagrin about public exposure. They must realize they have even Less Integrity than “Street Walkers”; for those Ladies are more Overt about their Monetary Intentions. The colluding ‘CT&C’ Companies have Managers and Owners (M&O) who profess their ‘Honesty to the Heavens’ yet accept Monies for their Collusion. “Anything For A Buck” (AFAB) is their ‘Calling Card’. They do not ‘Surrender’ to the ‘NSA’ for free. Presumably, the ‘NSA’ does NOT put guns to their heads to acquire assent for ‘Bug” installations. 

Some Software Companies are also “Waist Deep” in this ‘Public Intelligence Cabal’. They too profess their Innocence (for many of the same reasons as above).

Perhaps the Public should ask Hardware, Software, and ‘Personal Communication’ Sites: “How much of your ‘Startup Capital’ came from the various Intelligence Agencies PRIOR TO your Initial Public Offerings?” Rather than believe the ‘Fairy Tales’ about ‘Bedroom’ or ‘Dormitory’ Manufacturing Sites they love to ‘Humbly Reveal”, ‘NSA’ or other ‘Black Bucks’ may have been attained early on. The odds of their admitting such behavior is negligible. 

The “Bottom Line” Has Been, Is, and Will Be, that ALL ‘CT&C’ Equipment made by those Manufacturers  “Who Have been ‘Sleeping’ With The Various Intelligence Agencies” gives YOU a “Phantom Audience” in ALL your ‘Private Communications’.

Entrepreneurs, Investors, Manufacturers, and other Professionals should seek out Internationally Experienced Parties who understand Methods of Retaining Commercial Privacy.

It can be done.

Reality.

☆ European Union Banking: A “Haircut” And “Shave” For Everyone?

News Analysis: The European Union Banking Agreement recently agreed to, some say, gives False Hope regarding Control Over and Liquidation, if necessary, of ‘Non-Performing’ Banks. Contractually, many various groups would assess the viability of a Bank, and if needed, Bond Holders, Stock Holders, and DEPOSITORS would have to pay for the pending debacle (as was done in Cyprus). In this manner, Governments would not be financially  liable for Bad Management at Banks. Why a Mere Depositor who has NO CONTROL over Banking Decisions nor Ownership directly or indirectly, in the Bank, should be held liable is baffling to many people. This would be analogous to sending One’s Shirts to a Laundry and being liable for that Business’s Debts! What is the difference? As to Depositors, Very Specious Thinking brought about such a European Union Banking Decision, one might argue. 

That various groups composed of a total of over 100 persons are to efficiently and quickly assess a Bank is a ‘Mental Fantasy’, some Bankers say. Debate for weeks is not acceptable during such events.

A 55 Billion Euro Fund is to be developed for the cover collapses of Banks; many people think that is too little.

Also, are there ANY provisions to have Forensic Accountants review a “Collapsing” Bank’s Books, immediately prior to default? This, to see if any Illegal Financial Machinations occurred by the Bank’s Management? If not, why not? What Punitive Measures are in force for illegal or ‘tainted’ Banking activities?

“Bankers, in their role of ‘Bankers’, control the Monies of OTHERS, Not Their Own.” All too often, it seems that this Simple Premise ‘Escapes’ the conscious mentality of Bankers; that is when Defalcations and other problems arise.

It appears to many Europeans that, as regards to this ‘Banking Solution’, “Improper Medication” to a Patient may make him sicker than his Actual Illness.

★ India Awakens To Benefits Of Manufacturing And Industrial Exports

News Analysis: This year of 2013, India expects to Export approximately $325 Billion Dollars of Goods. It has a Trade Deficit of $100 Billion Dollars presently. Due to this imbalance, India has established  a “National Manufacturing Policy” which itself establishes ‘National Manufacturing and Investment Zones’.

The Indian Government realizes that it needs to Accelerate Development of “Higher-End” Manufacturing for the Country’s long term Economic Benefit. Presently, Manufacturing is largely confined to: Chemicals, Computer Software, Engineering Tools, Jewelry, Leather Goods, Refined Petroleum Products and Textiles. None of the aforementioned are considered by Manufacturing Experts to be ‘Sophisticated Constructions’ (SC) such as Airplanes, Computerized Numerical Control Machinery, Helicopters, High-Speed Locomotives, Liquefied Natural Gas Ships, Robotics, Submarines, or Similar Constructions.

The Indian Government needs Foreign Direct Investment to occur with regards to its Manufacturing Sector. To get Currencies from Foreign Investors is the ‘Easier’ part of the “Equation for Manufacturing Growth” (EMG). Liberalizing Investment Returns will bring in the monies from Mutual Funds, Private Investors, and other entities.

The more difficult segment of ‘EMG’ are bringing in experienced Manufacturing Engineers and Management which have dealt with  ‘SC’. They are few and far between as to their abundance Internationally. A Technique used, by a neighboring country, was to engage WIDELY in the use of Joint Ventures in Constructions. To date, India has engaged in this process very lightly, but growing,  some people say.

Upon determining what Products the Indian Government would like for Export, appropriate funding for Research & Development will be immediately needed. In the Product Designs, any Added Value” that can be added vs. competing product in the marketplace will give India an ‘Edge” for sales. Since India will be Product-Wise the ‘New Kid On The Block’, Product Warranties that are All-Encompassing will be necessary for Consumer Satisfaction.

Efficient Marketing of the Fabrications is essential for Customer Awareness of Indian Products. A word to the Wise is: “Do NOT Besmirch the Products of Others”. Always take the “High Road”. Discuss how your Products Exceed the Needs of a possible Customer; and do it at a Competitive Price. Ergo, a Customer “Gets More Product For Less Money”; Who can resist getting Value?

Timely Delivery of “High-End” Products ARE IMPERATIVE. Only Manufacturing Fools deliver Aircraft, Machinery, Ships,  and such Late. There is NO EXCUSE for it barring a Catastrophe of Epic Proportions. When it occurs, it shows Ineptitude of Cost Estimating, Production Planning, Fabrication, and/or Vendor Selection. Worst of off it shows Management has NOT and does NOT Comprehend (ed)  where the Company went Wrong Earlier.  What “Short-Cuts” in Manufacturing or Inspection were taken to FINALLY get the Product (s) delivered? (Many Big-Name Manufacturers do; but they deny this of course.) Any  of Corporate Management that allows for such Mediocrity should be terminated. It is Unacceptable!

Once the Products are delivered on a timely basis to Customers, Communication by Manufacturing Management with Customer Management is essential. It conveys to Buyers that your Company Cares about their Needs. The Old Adage that: “Good-Will Is Worth 40%” is as true today as when it was first spoken.

“Say What You Mean, And Mean What You Say”.

The very capable Indian Government appears to be moving in the correct direction as to seeking Increased Manufacturing. Intelligent, hard-working Indians are readily available towards this realization. There is absolutely NO REASON the Indian People cannot attain that which they desire as to growth of Manufacturing in the Nation; especially with their Inspired Leadership. 

All of this enthusiasm by the Indian Government bodes well for Investors who can help the Manufacturing Sector develop. Opportunities avail themselves to those who seek them.

Reality.

★ NSA Surveillance Of 7.141 Billion People, At $85 Billion+/Year, 0 Terrorists’ Attacks Stopped Per White House Selected Panel Member

News Analysis:  NSA’s World-Wide Surveillance Of 7.141 Billion People At A U.S. Intelligence Expense Of  85+/- Billion Dollars A Year, Stopped 0 Terrorists’ Attacks (Per White House Selected Panel Member)

The “Beyond Mediocre” Results of  Invading the World’s Privacy and having expenditures that ANY corporation on the Globe could NEVER AFFORD is Deplorable. U.S. “Intelligence” Agencies spending Tens of Billions of Dollars and attaining Next to Nothing is preposterous beyond belief. For the White House in Washington, D.C. to tolerate this Expensive Charade shows Mediocrity of Management of the Federal Government at the Highest Levels.

One can only assume that, much like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at U.S. Airports, National Security Agency ‘NSA’ and its “Concubine of Alphabet Agencies” are merely Employers of People who have little requirement to produce anything. They are Citizens who are NOT in Unemployment Lines because the U.S. Government has hired them. Where are the ‘Hundreds of thousands of  America’s Enemies’ anyway? If ‘NSA’ and ‘TSA’ have not located and had them arrested, are they hiding?

One might ask: Who has the ‘Oval Office’ (over the past six years) fired for Ineptitude in the ‘Intelligence’ Community regarding ANY ELEMENT of American Security in the “War on Terrorism”? Why do the Dollars get Squandered with little to show?

The Hundreds of Thousands of the aforementioned Federal Workers must realize they are doing little if anything; but they do have a job, for now.

A Pendulum swings both ways. The U.S. Administration’s Inexorable Push towards Federalism the past few years has cost its Citizens Trillions of Dollars in Debt and has produced mediocre results. A speech using a “Teleprompter” might sound assuring but the bottom line is: To Be Successful, The Output has to Meet or Exceed The Input”. This has NOT happened in relation to “Stopping Terrorist Attacks”. 

Wise Investors know that “One has to Pay The Piper”; that, ‘There is ‘No Free Lunch’.  How does one prepare for the impending Pendulum Swing the other direction and Profit therefrom? The many “Dots” are already in place, one merely has to connect them for Financial Success.  

Monies spent for “Pseudo Results” by the ‘TSA’, ‘NSA’ or other Alphabet Agencies may be used on America’s Infrastructure for example. This change of directions would assist loyal, hard-working Americans and improve living conditions for all. If this is the direction that will take place, Entrepreneurs can invest in starting companies, or technologies that will be useful therein. Older experienced Civil Engineering Companies would be an excellent “Play” for Investors. Suppliers of: Steel for construction; Concrete for highways and structures; Piping for waterways; etc., are all to be considered by the ‘thoughtful’.

Americans are a Wonderful People living in a beautiful Country that much of the World envies.  Citizens and Residents  should contribute in any way possible towards an even higher level of Prosperous Living.

 

☆ United Arab Emirates Reluctance Over British Typhoon Aircraft Grows

News Analysis: Arab Aircraft Purchasers, just like others “Big-Ticket” Buyers in the World, want Good Fundamentals to be offered to COMPEL THEM to choose a particular Weapon System. These Basics are not limited to, but include: Performance, Reliability, Cost To Purchase, Cost To Maintain, Deliver-ability, and, Manufacturer/Purchaser Affinity. 

All too often, the Naïve Western Business Community (NWBC), think because a “Voted-In- Politician”(VIP) is going to meet with  Arab  Customers, these ‘Prospects’ will be “Emotionally Joyous” as to the visit. That they will immediately ‘Sign on the Dotted Line’ and buy the Weapon System the ‘NWBC’ have no doubt. In fact, upon hearing about a ‘VIP’ visiting an Air Show, for example, the Air Frame’s Stock is purchased immediately by the Naïve. The ‘NWBC’ forget that the Decision Makers for such purchases are the Royalty of the Country. As such, Monarchs being impressed by a ‘VIP’  visiting them as a mere salesman is laughable indeed; How Naïve! It is disrespectful of the Monarchy. Inappropriately, in Weapon System Procurements of any kind, the Arab Culture has often  been very poorly judged by the ‘NWBC’.

The United Arab Emirates, in its wisdom, will purchase what IT considers best for itself (as must be the case).

The ‘NWBC’ should stop looking at the others with ‘blinders’ on and instead use “Panoramic Vision”.

As the Financial Growth of the Arab World continues to rapidly accelerate, the Leaders of the ‘NWBC’ will have to admit their past failed approaches to Arab Customers. Once there is Real Contrition by these ‘Failed’ Leaders, they may ‘Wise-Up’ and treat their Middle-East Customers with Actual Respect. Arab Customers have the ENTIRE WORLD from which to purchase what they want. For the ‘NWBC’ to continue treating the Arabs as “Naïve” by sending them ‘VIPs’ , to impress Monarchs, will gain them nothing.  

Reality.

☆ Shark Barrier For Western Australia Is Eco-Friendly

News Analysis: The Australian Company which manufactures the ‘Eco Shark Barrier’ is Real-World Testing the device in the clear waters of  Coogee Beach, Australia. Since Shark Attacks (SA)  are so prevalent in warmer waters of the world, this device, a “Fence”, should be of great value to bathers. Since most ‘SA’ occur within  100 feet of shore the danger is imminent to many. There are an average of 50 to 100 ‘SA’ Events a Year World-Wide.

Investors may consider the concept of ‘Leasing’ such devices to Federal, Municipal or Private Beaches throughout the world. If done, especially to “Developing Marine Areas” the Lessees could add to, reduce, or eliminate the ‘Fences’ as additional ‘Commercial” Development occurred to the area. The value to the Lessors would be the ability to Re-Lease the ‘Fences’ to others.

In many parts of the world, there are Tax Savings to Lessors which may be greater than for Sellers of  the same Equipment.

Investors may also want to consider purchasing Private Beaches in Shark Prone Areas and installing the  ‘Fences’. Apt Marketing to Beach Enthusiasts could provide good revenues in Non-Seasonal Private Beaches of the World.
