Light For Pain Perception Control

News Analysis: Light for Pain Perception Control has been advancing in Bio-Medical Research Laboratories for about a decade or longer. By shining light at pained areas of the body, the perception of pain is dismissed Neurologically.

Some researchers think Photons of Light ‘turn off’ Neural Synapse so pain signals cannot transmit down neural paths. More research will be needed to determine the exact Photo-Bio-Chemical Process in control.

Bio-Photonic Physics should be studied. The possible implications of the affects of Photons on the Human Body could well be immense. Dental disorders, Dermatological Events, Diseases, Glandular Dis-functions, and Neurologic Problems might all eventually benefit from this research.

☆ Cosmology Has Been Evolutionary Not Revolutionary

News Analysis: A theory regarding the Universe will be created, then tested for Refutability. If it tests correctly over time, its verification allows Cosmologists a foundation to explore new observations. Technology allows for greater Quality of Observations of the Cosmos. New observations may create a need for re-examination of the former ‘Proof’ that had tested well earlier; So Goes Science.

Astrophysicists, while considering Sub-Atomic Discoveries at CERN in Switzerland, are also trying to understand their relationships, if any, to the Accelerating Expansion of the Universe. Some Cosmologists are considering New Forms Of Matter, to date undiscovered. Step by Step has been the case of Cosmology to date.

Perhaps, “String Theory” is currently the most advanced conceptualization of reality being scrutinized by Theoretical Physicists.  It may be that the past years of Incremental Thinking are far too Myopic for a proper understanding of the Universe; much like an Ant attempting to judge the surface of the Earth.

It may be required for Theoretical Physicists to expand their thinking to the level of “Dimensional Cosmology” for accurate explanations of current Universe(s) Enigmas. Current Theories of the Cosmos have more holes in them than “Swiss Cheese” many Adept Thinkers are of the opinion.

Revolutionary Thinking is apropos for the Most Phenomenal Concept of Apparent Reality: The Universe.

☆ “Learned Worldly” Americans Cannot Separate The Wheat From The Chaff

News Analysis: American Education has been failing its Population since 1960 as judged by Information Knowledge Tests conducted on its Citizenry. It is now a Reality for many Americans that they cannot even identify the location of the United States on a Globe. Apparently the influence of the Mass Media has provided a dis-incentive to learn  Global News, Economics, International Relations, and/or Science. Instead, Cartoon Characters are the featured ‘Point of Reference’ as to Americans’ knowledge. If one adds in the growth of Illegal Narcotics consumption by “Cool” Guys and “Cool” Girls to this Equation, “Mental Myopia” is alive and well in America; the Country loses its Economic Competitiveness as a result.

Political Mass Marketers understand this diminution of “Worldly Sophistication” in America’s Voters. They know they can Win an Election with a “Nobody whom they will ‘Make’ into a Somebody for Everybody”; the Fools will be Fooled by the Fool. 

It is interesting to note that many people think that the Arrogance Shown by Many Americans today, even to other Americans, is inversely related to the Citizens’  Lack of Knowledge of Global Events. Those who know Very Little, Know They Know a Great Deal; just ask them.

The decline in Social Civility throughout America can be claimed, in part, to evidence a lack of  Respect for Others as well.

As many people think, ‘Social Education’ is just as important to a Society as is ‘Factual Education’. In America, it appears Cartoons are teaching Americans Neither.

Russians Respect The Other Species

News Analysis: A Tiger, who apparently battled a Wild Boar, suffered a “Broken Back” as a result. Rather than merely terminating the Tiger’s life as a ‘Matter of Expediency’ (as others in different Countries would be prone to do), Russian Veterinarians, who Respect the Other Species, attempted surgery to help the animal. Unfortunately, the “Big Cat” did not survive his injuries.

Many people think that such a valiant effort itself,  by these Professionals, evidences more about the Quality of Russian Character than can ever be written about them. Rather than merely look at the Potential Expense of Medical Care for this Animal (as others would surely do) they performed their best to help it (“Cost Be Damned”).

To those individuals who think such an effort was a waste of time and that the Animal’s Suffering was of no importance, they might be reminded that in some of the World’s Great Religions Re-Incarnation into a Different Species is always possible for selfish Humans.

Argentina Joins Assembly Of Nations Growing Illegal Drugs

News Analysis: Argentina which was once a Transit Point for Illegal Drug Shipments, morphed into a Drug Using Population and then again into a Illegal Drug Producing Nation.

Many times when the Profits Earned from the Production and/or Sale of Drugs far outweigh the Penalties when caught, a Plethora of Professionals join the Cabal: Accountants, Attorneys, Bankers, Brokers, Judges, Real Estate Advisers, Tainted Policemen, and the like.

If one considers the phenomenal growth of Poppy Acreage in Afghanistan (guarded by American Troops)  all the way to Designer Drugs allegedly fabricated in Zambia, a Multi-Billion Dollar Industry is alive and well.

Unfortunately, one might think, America, for instance has a President who both admits to having used illegal drugs and now allows American Banks to open accounts with “Legal” Illegal Drug Dealers (an oxymoron). He is “Setting the Stage” people opine. Some say that Cocaine, Hashish, Heroin, Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) are on the Slate to slowly be approved for sale. Already many professionals in America and elsewhere  are eagerly awaiting the Legitimizing of such use (so they can gain additional revenues).

As part of an alleged American  “Legitimizing Plan”, the U.S. Justice Department merely needs to decry the number of Prisoners in Penitentiaries “that should not be incarcerated but allowed back on the streets of America” (to be Drug Vendors once again)? Politicians who want votes will agree to this Abomination on Society unfortunately.

It appears that the “War Against Drugs” seems Noteworthy, but so does a Hologram.

If Argentina looks to America, it can foresee its Drug Future (to some people an unpleasant thought).

Reality.

★ Record Number Of Airline Flight Cancellations In Stormy America Suggests High Speed Rail Use Is Needed

News Analysis: Since December 1, 2013 there have been 75,000+ Airline Flight Cancellations in America due to Inclement Weather. The disruption to Millions of Passengers at a Total Economic Cost to America and Americans  in the Billions of Dollars for this continuing Winter Weather. Since many Meteorologists presume that ‘Climate Change’ will make such Icy Weather a Common Event in future Winters, many Technologists are suggesting America adopt High Speed Rail Service Interconnecting the various Metropolises (1+ Million People each) across the Country.

Environmentalists should rejoice at savings of Billions of Gallons of Aviation Fuel a Year (which would pollute the Atmosphere). The U.S. Transportation Security Agency could eliminate thousands of  employees for enormous cost savings to the U.S. Government; Terrorists would not be able to send Trains into a Tall Building (thereby not making the Lessee have to direct the Local Fire Department Head to Implode the Structure).

One could expect to find American Air Frames ‘Morphing’ Themselves into “High Speed Rail Train Manufacturers” (HSRTMs) since they already have Equipment and Personnel Suited for the Tasks.  

Investors should want to seek out EARLY ON: Bridge Fabricators, Civil Engineering Firms, ‘HSRTMs’,  “Rail Track” Fabricators, Rail Depot Architectural Firms, Railroads,  and Steel Mills  for Investments therein.  

Airlines could re-invent themselves into “High Speed Transportation Companies” by early-on acquisition of those Companies who obtain Government Transportation Licenses to operate such “Speedy Equipment”.

Played Correctly, Everyone Would Benefit: Corporations, Environmentalists, American Public, and the U.S. Government.

Nothing is Constant but Change; Why Fight It?

☆ Increases In World Oil Supplies Is Potential Bad News For Commercial Aircraft Manufacturers’ Business Models

News Analysis: Commercial Aircraft Manufacturers Want Airlines to Think the Price of Aviation Fuel can only go UP. By touting the Alleged Weight Savings in their new Composite Carbon/Carbon Construction, they seek Customers. Often, Incorrect Empty Weight Estimates being given Airlines, make  Fuel Saving Percentages look robust. If the Airlines believe the Aviation Fuel Price Increase Rhetoric, widely dispensed by Air Frame Marketing Departments, then Aircraft Purchases are assured (they think). Looming against this Price Increase Allusion is the Oil Supply Increase Reality happening World-Wide.

The Oil Industry has a “Newer Process” of Shale Oil Retrieval that has been largely developed to its most efficient level in America.  The abundant American resources of Shale Oil In North Dakota, Texas, and elsewhere bode well for large increases in supplies. If one considers the enormous Orinoco Sands Deposit in Venezuela (Estimated: 500 Billion to One Trillion Barrels of Oil), anticipated oil prices would surely plummet steeply.

With increases in Supply come Decreases in Prices (all else being equal). The Arab Gulf States need a $90.00 a Barrel of Oil Price to maintain their economies. It is expected that they will decrease their production to offset their Shale Oil ‘Competitor’. Unfortunately, additional Oil Supplies are being produced in newer Off-Shore Fields such as in Brazilian Waters and will be produced in the future in the Arctic Ocean and perhaps Eastern Mediterranean Sea, et al. This additional production should have the $90.00 a Barrel reduced to perhaps $70.00 to $75.00 a Barrel pricing. Even at this level, Oil is making drilling profitable for many Off-Shore Operations and even more so for Oil Activities on land.

Aviation Fuel Pricing would plummet (many Petroleum Engineers think $1.00 to $1.70 per gallon) as a result of the probable World-Wide Oil Supply Increases. Additionally, Aviation Bio-Fuels will help contribute to price reductions for the Airlines. The Conundrum faced by Air Frames, is: “What Concerns can they Create to make Airlines think they ‘Have To Have’ new Aircraft?”

Airlines will find a diminution in Aviation Fuel prices (due to the aforementioned Oil Supply Increases coming On-Line) which will make a Mockery of the Hundred + Millions of Dollars now charged per Plane by the Air Frames; this  so the Airlines can “Save Pennies Per Gallon of Fuel” with their Composite Aircraft?

Reality.

Qatar Airlines: Pleased With Airbus, Far Less So With Another

News Analysis: Airlines need their New Aircraft on or before their Contracted Delivery Dates (as it appears Qatar will be joyously receiving with its Airbus A350’s). They are tiring of hearing about Aircraft Delays from other Air Frames. It seems that some Air Frames “Promise the Moon” (especially in terms of estimated low fuel burn and projected on-time reliability).

The Benefits of the Technologies the Air Frames now promote, such as All Composite Construction, say next to NOTHING about Structural De-lamination due to Stress (or Cosmic and Solar Radiation at Cruise Elevations), Detonation like a ‘Shattered Egg’ (when the fuselage hits the airport runway as when landing-gear failure arises), nor Flammability of the Carbon/Carbon Composite Construction (from even little Lithium-Ion Batteries).

As the Administrations of Airlines commence to “Wise-Up” to the Games played by SOME Airframes, they will cease being “Freiers” who are easily influenced by the Chicanery offered by Air Frame Marketeers.

Any time a new Aircraft is YEARS LATE in its Delivery to Customers means that the Scope of Work Was Not Properly Estimated and Assets (Human and Financial) were not properly allocated (as also might be not properly estimated is the Aircraft’s Performance, Fuel Burn, and Dispatch Reliability)

Reality.

Air India Disenchanted With Told ‘Tales’ Of New Aircraft Fuel Burn Efficiencies, Etc.

News Analysis: When A Commercial Aircraft Manufacturer “Talks The Talk, It Must Walk The Walk”;  especially with alleged Misrepresentations regarding Estimated Fuel Burn Efficiencies and projected Dispatch Reliability.

Air India had apparently succumbed to the “Lighter Is Better” (LIB) (without defining ‘Lighter’) ‘Marketing Hype’ some say, then purchased significant numbers of the Composite Aircraft; presently, to its Chagrin, many people suggest.

‘LIB’ did have an immediate positive impact on the price of the Aircraft Manufacturer’s Stock (to the delight of some of the Top Retiring Managers who helped think up the ‘scheme’). The Mass Media ravished praise (on that which they new little about) further raising the price of the Stock.

The Engineering Model for this Aircraft apparently made both “Drastic” Engineering Assumptions regarding its “Complete” Composite Construction (from different vendors), Disregard of Flammability Potential, Its Heavy Reliance on Electrical Power (forgoing Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems), and its Projected Weight vs. its Actual Empty Weight. As an amalgam of all these changes in Aircraft Construction, Logarithmic rather than Arithmetic Changes ensued. This reality to the cost of Billions of Dollars for the Air Frame, Years Late Deliveries, Poor Line Quality in Assembly, and poorer Fuel Efficiency than Advertised many people maintain.

Some Aircraft Engineers suggest that the Shorter Life Span built into the design of this Aircraft (by virtue of its Composite rather than Metal Construction) will further tarnish Air India’s View of its purchases.

People suggest that perhaps a Meditating Shiva can provide some direction in this Continuing Conundrum which Air India, acting honorably, did not bargain for.

Israel Proposes Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) For Its Neighbors: Cyprus, Greece, and Turkey

News Analysis:  A Wise Business Strategy by Israeli Commercial Interests is the Vessel Shipping of  Compressed Natural Gas ‘CNG’ to those countries rather than by Undersea Pipelines.  Natural Gas Reserves in Israeli Waters are substantial and  Israel can afford to sell to those Countries ‘CNG’ at a heavily discounted price; this from Current Liquefied Natural Gas being sold today. The Negation of Pipelines in the Delivery Process bodes well for large projected costs savings for the corporations involved.

Due to the fact that Territorial Issues for Undersea Pipelines are not an element in this Business Model, much Time can be saved in the Delivery Process by using  ‘CNG’ Ships.

Innovative Thinking can go a long way towards producing Substantial Profits for those who are in Business.

The World Belongs to the Aggressive.
