Gold Production In Egypt, Which Rose In 2013, Looks Even Better In The Future

News Analysis: Egypt, was, is, and will be a “Land of Plenty” many observers say. In  addition to its strategic location, its full Mineral Resources are yet to be recognized. The Gold Production for 2013, from one Mine for example was 356,943 Ounces (a 36% increase over 2012)!. It is expected as much as 500,000 Ounces of Gold will be produced in 2015 in the Sukkari Mine alone.

Iron Ore Production should increase to 10 million tons a year in Egypt.

As exploration of Petroleum Reserves continues to the Northwest of Egypt up to the Libyan Border, an abundance of oil and gas should be located. These deposits may commingle with the oil and gas discoveries in Northerly neighboring Cyprus and continue Easterly to the Levant.

Egypt has Location, Location, Location as an Asset in addition to Minerals, Minerals, Minerals.

If a person  ‘Thinks Outside The Box’ and “Connects the Dots”, he or she can see why so many Nefarious Entities want to take over Egypt. They want its Mineral Wealth and Location.  These “Puppeteers” may use many “Themes of Legitimacy” to promote their Hidden Agendas but one should remember, “Few Snakes Hiss Before They Strike”.

Egyptians, with their fabulous Ancient Culture, should respect their wonderful past but be ever vigilant. As they look forward in time  as to who their “Real Friends” actually are; a Review of their History will tell them the truth.

Reality.

★ Big Aircraft Sales, Small Passenger Seats Rile Passengers, Etc.

News Analysis: The Two Largest Commercial Aircraft Manufacturers are gleeful of their Sales Performances in 2013. The market for the World’s Largest Airliner has improved. The Smaller Single Aisle Aircraft Sales are performing very well. Their Common Stocks are up measurably as a result.

An area of interest for 2014 in Aviation is: It becomes a blot on the records of  Airlines as to wide-spread Customer Dissatisfaction with the smaller seats on the Single-Aisle Aircraft in particular. The Airlines increasing call for greater profitability (at the cost of passenger discomfort) has the Airframes ordering more of the smaller seats to “Cram Into” the fuselages. “More Passengers, More Revenue” is the Airlines’ Mantra. Since the “Me Too” Management of the Airlines copy what other Airlines Managements are ordering for their airplanes, passengers have little choice in seating. If they do want a little extra space, (which had been ‘normal seating’ for years) they now have to pay extra  for it; Extortion?

The “Fisticuffs” (of passengers against passengers or against flight crews) is due, in part, to “Minimalist Thinking” by Airline Managements regarding “Proper Passenger Environments”.

Discomfort breeds Hostility. Many people think the ‘Airlines Quest For Increased Profitability’ will only have the effect of “Charging More But Getting Less” for Airline Passengers.

The “Cookie Cutter” Mentality of Airlines’ Management some say is evidenced by the fact that the Most Unique Difference of Airline to Airline (Anywhere in the World) is their Aircraft Liveries!

The World’s Airline Passengers Deserve Better.

In 2014, Carbon/Carbon Matrix Composite Aircraft by Both of the Airframes will be Operational around the World. This “Advanced” Technology will bring it own “Advanced Failures” with it. What has been utilized on physically smaller “Shorter Life” Military Aircraft does not necessarily represent what is best for large Commercial Aircraft. A CERTAIN BENEFIT to the Airframes will be the fact that the Composite Planes will have shorter ‘Mean Times Between Failures’ than Metal Aircraft, Structural Engineers say. Airframes will be able to sell more Aircraft as a result some think.

Perhaps, as an example, the recent Ethiopian Airlines ‘Small Battery Fire” caused an alleged TWO MONTHS of “SECRET” Repair by its Airframe. Will this particular airplane have ‘normal life expectancy’; how can one be sure?  That a metal aircraft would be a much simpler fix is certain Maintenance Repair Organizations say.

Investors who have “Gone Long” on the two Airframes might expect Significant Problems to arise with Composite Technology on Commercial Aircraft resulting in a possible very quick diminution of their Common Stock Values.

The Short Term Benefits of flying ‘marginally lighter’ Composite Aircraft” might be upset by the ‘Inherent Frailties” of Composites used in Commercial Aircraft (De-lamination, Fire, and Impact Detonation). One should ask “Aircraft Structural Engineers” about this matter before investing or ask those who have actually bonded Composites. Ask “How does Bonding using Vacuum Bagging in an Autoclave differ from “Cold Bonding” in an Aircraft Hangar? What are the benefits of each process? If there is Landing Gear Failure what will happen to a Composite Fuselage hitting the runway?” The Aircraft/Power Plant Mechanics who presumably worked on the Ethiopian Airlines Aircraft should know.  Investors in Aircraft Insurance (or Re-Insurance Underwriters in particular) should pay attention to this probability. There could be Catastrophic Insurance Losses if a couple of Aircraft Events occurred through Fire or Crash or both.

Reality.

Nano-Windmill Currents Will Create Electrical Currents For Cell Phones

News Analysis: Personnel at the University of Texas at Arlington have created a Nano-Windmill Charger for Cell Phones and other apparatuses. By exposing the Nano-Windmills to Air Currents, Mechanical Energy is converted to Electrical Energy for various devices. For example, someone sitting in a breezeway or near a operating fan could charge their cell phone by exposing the device to air flow..

The cost of Cutting Tools, Molds, Stamping Dies and ‘Touch Labor’ to Assemble the Units should be minimal when compared to the potential size of the International Market for such a device.

Investors may want to contact the Inventors and see if Licenses to Produce and Market the devices are available.

A Wise Corporation’s Spy Hire To Help Put Out “Fires”

News Analysis: An American Corporation placed a former Spy on its Board of Directors; a VERY WISE DECISION (according to many International Businessmen). Spies are Inordinately Qualified for many Analytical Jobs (beyond Spying); which today are needed by Global Corporations.

For example, keeping Electronic Business Data confidential from being passed on by U.S. National Security Agency Personnel  to personal friends (illegal and surreptitious, of course) is a task. Also, looking at various Commodities and their Sources can be assisted by these espionage professionals.

Former espionage professionals can stop Senior Managers, who travel on International Corporate Business, from making Deplorable Social Gaffes; such as constantly bowing to various Foreign Royalty as was done by the American President.  Even hiring “Sky Blue” colored limousines to ride around in is poor taste in certain countries. Former Spies can advise about Proper Protocol of which they have witnessed many times in many locations of the world.  

On a greater scale, one only needs to look at the Vast Capabilities in Judgement demonstrated to date by former K.G.B. Leader Mr. Vladimir Putin, President of Russia. He is Without Compare to many other World “Leaders”.

The “Bottom Line” in Today’s World  is: “Wise Corporate Leaders Surmise That Serious Concerns Will Arise For Which Former Spies Can Properly Advise.” Former Spies have ‘Been There; Done That’.

There is NO SUBSTITUTE for Experience.

Reality.

Philippine Island of Cebu Strikes Oil

News Analysis: A relatively large deposit of oil has been discovered on Cebu Island after years of drilling in the area. Since this is NOT off-shore, as many other Philippine Deposits are, production costs should be much less. An estimated 12 million barrels of oil a day will most likely be the production rate of wells  when operational.

Since there is likely a significant amount of Natural Gas at this location, a Power Plant for electrical production for this Island of  almost 4 million people would be built to serve them.

Perhaps this discovery will lead others to look for more Oil on Land, of which there is 298,170 Km2  (115,124 Mi2), throughout the 7,107 Philippine Islands.

Norway Exported $9.87+ Billion Dollars of Seafood In 2013

News Analysis: Contrary to claims by many Environmentalists, that the “Oceans Of The World Are Fished Out”, Norway Exported a Record $9.87 Billion Dollars of Seafood in 2013. The Seafood consists of: Capelin, Cod, Haddock, Herring, Salmon, Trout, and other species. The hard working Norwegian Fishermen are now enjoying the fruits of their labor; while over 140 Countries enjoy the Seafood.

The question many people are asking: How can Environmentalists be so wrong about “Over-Fishing The Oceans” (especially when viewed in the light of Norwegian Government Economic Export Facts)?

“Major Ice Breakers Of The World” Evidence Some Nations’ ‘Think Ahead’ Maritime Policies

News Analysis: The United States Coast Guard has created a very telling Chart: “MAJOR ICEBREAKERS OF THE WORLD”.  It shows an absolute World Maritime Dominance by Russia in Numbers of Vessels and Variety of Power Plants Second to None.

One might ask: “If the United States Navy has so many Aircraft Carriers, Submarines, other ships, why were “Cold Sea” Vessels forgotten by the Pentagon?” Surely having Alaska as America’s 49th State should have compelled the question being asked, one might surmise. Additionally, when America’s vaunted Oil Companies knew about Arctic Ocean Mineral Possibilities (from their Prudhoe Bay experience) would not the Pentagon (or the Department of Homeland Security)  be advised that Icebreakers might be needed?

Now, decades later, America, with its $17+ Trillion Dollars in Debt can ill-afford building new Ice Breakers.  Assistance, if needed (by vessels stranded in the Northern Sea Route from Alaskan waters to Europe) can be provided by Russia. 

The U.S. Coast Guard should have Icebreakers built to handle future needs in colder American Waters. Historically its Members are always up to ANY RUGGED TASK that may befall them. Now, can the Admirals in the Pentagon show a little foresight  and Request Future Year  Funding for New-Buildings for Icy Conditions Sailing in Northern Waters?

Presently America’s Military in the Pentagon is decades behind the Russians in Ice Breaker Technology (and Vessels) as well as in Foresight, some people say.

Chinese Multiplication Device, Built In 305 B.C., Makes Figures ‘Add Up’

News Analysis: Chinese Mathematical Ingenuity, was well utilized in creating the Multiplication Device, recently ‘Deciphered’ by Anthropologists. This Bamboo Tool with Calligraphy on it could be used for Commercial and Financial Activities of the Period. 

It is interesting to note the Mathematical Intelligence used in creating the Device in 305 B.C. is similarly carrying over with the Chinese People presently.

As China quickly becomes the World Economic Leader, its People can proudly say: “We were in Commerce back then; We are in Commerce and Finance today.”

“This Mathematical Intellect  must be in the Chinese D.N.A.”, some People say. Other are of the opinion that “Their Intellect reflects the benefits of having a 10,000 Year Old Culture.”

Either way, the Chinese Win.

Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier Ice Shelf Melting Is the Lowest Ever Recorded

News Analysis: The Ship and Icebreakers getting lodged in the thick Ice of Antarctica’s Waters and needed to be rescued in the past few days, lead many Scientists to question the validity of “Global Warming Due To Man’s Activities” (GWDTMA). Pine Island Glacier Ice Shelf Melting Is the Lowest Ever Recorded And Less Than Half Of That Recorded In 2010!

Along with the measurable increase in Ice in Antarctica, many suspicion ‘more enigmatic mechanisms” may be working. They think over longer periods of time, other Natural Systems may be at work, producing the Ebb and Flow of Ice in Antarctica. Today, more Measured Ice is  located  in the Arctic Ocean as well (as tested by the U.S. Government). Adding to this puzzle, the “Ozone Hole” in Antarctica’s Sky has also been measurably shrinking.

Some Politicians touted  ‘GWDTMA’ to the Media;  the “Journalism Majors” in the Media heard the “Clarion Call” from those Politicians. Subsequently, the “Race Was On” to find ANY Environmentalists’ Opinions that ‘GWDTMA’ was “Ruining the Earth”. Rather than consider the possibility that Natural Events which created and eliminated Ice Ages on Earth, might also be at work today, they steadfastly decried Man’s Activities.

These same people who are “GWDTMA’ Enthusiasts might willingly accept the “Acupressure of Skyscrapers Causing Earthquakes Theory” without much evidence.   

A Scientist, studying the Earth and/or the Cosmos, who is  “Worth his Salt” will Analyze, Theorize,  Criticize, and then Realize his “Answer” ultimately is “A Strong Possibility”; such is Scientific Refutation.

Railway Oil Tank Cars Need To Keep Volatile Contents Cooler

News Analysis: Railway Oil Tank Cars are presently Shipping North Dakota, U.S.A., ‘Light’ “Baaken Crude Oil” to refineries elsewhere. Since this type of Crude Oil contains Propane and Butane along with other flammable hydrocarbons, Temperature Control is a must. Lighter crude oil, such as Baaken have lower “Flash Points” in which vapors given off by the gases it contains may ignite.

The U.S. Government denotes a “Packing Group I or II” for these Light Oils. If it is given a designation of “Packing Group I”, its Flash-point is under 23C (73F)  and the Boiling Point is less than 35C (95F). “Packing Group II” if the Boiling Point is greater than 35C (95F) and a Flash Point less than 23C (73F).

Many Chemical Engineers and Thermodynamicists maintain that Greatest Safety occurs when the “Pressure Vessel” containing  Volatile Compounds are kept cool. Even Solar Radiation Buildup in Railway Tank Cars is ill-advised. 

Spray-On Mega-Temp™ Insulation stops heat build-up from the Sun and keeps temperatures stable. Since it can be applied so quickly, an entire  tank car could easily be insulated during one work shift by trained Applicators. Oil Refineries and Oil Pipelines can benefit from this “Active Molecular Insulation” as well.

Hydrochloric, Nitric, and Sulfuric Acids are inert to one millimeter (.03937″) thin Mega-Temp™ Insulation.

Railway Car Owners or Investors thinking of purchasing new cars need to protect their investments. Mega-Temp™ Insulation is the Product that is Fittest for this task.

Reality.
