Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Spend $187 Billion for Infrastructure

News Analysis: The Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia ‘KSA’ To Spend $187 Billion For Infrastructure Upgrades. Two Primary Areas will be in Desalinization and Electrical Power. ‘KSA’ has historically been a Leader in usage of Advanced Technologies for Desalinization. Growth in Electrical Power should exceed Desalinization needs as well for anticipated Population Growth.

A Country which has a Wise Monarch, such as ‘KSA’, will spend Monies Wisely on Improvements for the Betterment of all its Citizens and  its Residents. The two Aforementioned Programs are Evidence of His Foresight. Reality.

★ Too Much Aerospace Technology May Create Aircraft Scatology

Premium News Analysis:  Too Much Aerospace Technology May Create Aircraft Scatology more people are thinking. Soon Airline Boards will have to admit that their Engineering Departments did not properly advise their Managements as to foreseeable flaws in New Airframe Design and Manufacture. The Boards themselves used very poor judgement in leaping on the Airframes’ ‘New Sell”: “Lighter Weight Cannot Wait” ‘LWCW’. Thus, ‘LWCW’ became the ‘Holy Grail’ in Aircraft Design.

Some Airframes took a ‘Greater Plunge” into ‘LWCW’ than others. Those who went “All In” are now suffering Aircraft Event by Aircraft Event. How did they go “All In” regarding Aircraft Weight ? Electronic Systems  replaced Hydraulic and/or Pneumatic Technologies in order to save weight; Carbon/Carbon Composites replaced Metals in Structure and Fuselage Exteriors; Four Engines were replaced by Two; Engines Components were designed to be lighter ‘not necessarily stronger’; Passenger seats were made Narrower and Thinner; Even, Blankets given out to Cold Passengers are not readily available; and so it goes. Does the Technology aforementioned make an aircraft better or does it make it more  ‘Scatologic’? Only time will tell.

Aircraft Fuel Consumption became the Cause Celebre of the Airline Boards. Airlines were told “Oil is going to $200.00 a Barrel”; it did not. The Changes made helped produce the present Conundrum of the Airframes: Aircraft Reliability is now being questioned; Justly so. Recurring Down-times support the Public’s Growing Concern.

The ‘LWCW’ had the intended effect desire by Retiring Airframe Executives: It elevated the prices of their Companies’ Stocks; the ‘LWCW’ was marketed to airlines. When the airlines ‘Took The Bait”, Airframe Executives  Self-Concern was Financially Rewarded. Some people say, this ideology moved the Aircraft world into its present condition. While others support the ‘LWCW’ principle by arguing that Military Aircraft have had similar technologies, they forget something important in Engineering. To wit, “Increases of Unit Scale May Bring Decreases in Unit Efficiency”. That which works for a physical smaller Fighter Plane exhibits different: Acceptable Research, Development, and  Production Costs, Expend-ability, Operational Parameters, Longevity, and other norms from large Commercial Aircraft. Governments pay for Military Aircraft while ‘Individuals’ pay for Commercial Air Planes.

An Apple is not an Orange; But Both are Fruit.

Saudi Arabia Oil Market is Better Stable than Erratic

News Analysis:  Saudi Oil Market Is Better Stable Than Erratic for Oil Producers as well as Customers. Saudi Arabian Oil Executives know that other Petroleum Sources are coming ‘on-line’, To their credit, they have the foresight to see this as a ‘Positive’ rather than a ‘Negative’ for the World Petroleum Industry.

Erratic Markets lead to possible Increased Inefficient Expenditures for Exploration, Production, and Processing ‘EPP’ when Oil Buyer Demands increase quickly. If the Demands thereafter wane, the ‘EPP’ Monies spent deplete Earnings Percentages; Overcapacity results. An anticipated ‘Feast” becomes a ‘Famine’ in terms of Net Revenue for the Oil Entity. Since ‘EPP’ of the Oil Industry is so substantial, in part due to its Technical Complexity, it may take years to recover past expenditures.

Stable Markets become more predictable over time for Buyers as well as Sellers. Efficient allocation of funds for ‘EPP” occurs. Equilibrium of Supply and Demand is Essential.

Efficiency is in the Saudi Arabians’ Interest since they are “Giants” in this Industry. As such, their Expenditures are ‘Upped’ by the ‘Great Scale’ of their Oil Operations.

Saudi Arabian Oil Executives thoroughly understand not only the Present regarding Other Petroleum Sources in the World,  but they also Properly Envision the Future of them.

Japan’s Territory Might Expand Naturally

News Analysis: Japan’s Territory Might Expand Naturally through the growth of  a Volcanic Islet. If Lava Output exceeds Ocean-caused Erosion, a Japanese Island will be created. Extending Japan’s Sovereignty out to such an Anticipated Island, would give the country thousands of square kilometers of Territory. The territorial increase would bode well for Japanese Fisheries and the like.

Germany Communicates Its Extreme Displeasure of Electronic Privacy Invasions by Foreigners

News Analysis: Germany Communicates Its Extreme Displeasure of Electronic Privacy Invasions By Foreigners.  Substantial Cost to the Cell Phone Manufacturer, which is Accused of being a Co-Conspirator, may result. The Economic And Good Will Loss  to the American Cell Phone Manufacturer can be sizable. Its short term Economic Gain by purportedly cooperating in the Cabal may bring it long term Public Distrust. Public Opprobrium has a Long Life.

Beyond the Harmed Country’s ‘Mere’ Displeasure can loom possible  Criminal Prosecution for Secrecy Laws Violations.

Encrypted Communications can occur with German Produced Componentry in  locally Manufactured Equipment ergo, Confidentiality is more probable “in the Short Term”. However, the Decoding Capabilities of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) are Legendary; It is a “Code Breaker Supreme”.

There are No Long Term Secrets. Reality.

America’s National Security Agency (NSA) Costs the Country More Than Just Its Budget

News Analysis: America’s National Security Agency [NSA] Costs the Country More Than Just Its Budget. It also Costs Losing International Customers [who deplore Invasions of Privacy by Foreigners in particular]. Since 7.141+ Billion People on Earth do not understand how the ‘NSA’ can be above America’s Law, they Choose to Stop Doing Business with U.S. Companies.

Since there are people who say Washington, D.C. is Ruled by Mountebanks, such Sceptics  will only engage Trustworthy Companies. The American Elite who allow for such Privacy Travesties  should realize “Power which is Given, Can be Taken Away”; that is why Elections are held.

As the NSA continues with its Agenda, which it surely will, Economic Calamity may befall those American Corporations who Stealthily aided it.  Those Corporations that “Sold Their Souls” for A ‘Buck’ and Lost their Integrity, are on the “Down Slope” where Respect is involved.

A Good Reputation is Hard To Build; But Easy To Destroy. Reality.

Chinese Yuan Quickly Becoming an International Currency

News Analysis: Chinese Yuan Quickly Becoming An International Currency bodes well for other Nations of the World: It gives those Countries an additional Financial Choice. As Small Examples: a Government can engage in Arbitrage of its own currency against the U.S. Dollar or the European Euro. In  doing so, the value of its Currency Reserves may be enhanced; Privately,  Corporations around the World may find it more opportune to pay for Goods and/or Services with the Yuan; Businesses in China may find More International Customers for their Goods and Services.

One may assume that China realizes that the Profligate Debt of the United States [Currently $17 Trillion+ and Growing] will have a Long-Term Effect of reducing the value of the Dollars it holds.

No Permanent and Workable Solution for the Timely Repayment of  the ‘Mount Everest’ of Debt, has been decided by the American Government. So, the Financial Debt Avalanche Grows in both Size and Complexity. Its further Anticipated Borrowing will merely Compound the Problem. If Natural Calamities occur, such as Hurricanes ‘Hugo’ or more recently ‘Sandy’, then More Debt Will Occur. Even to the present, the U.S. Federal Government HAS NOT fully paid for the damages caused by Hurricane Sandy. Additionally, if another War were to occur, a Colossal Debt Increase will be realized. Inordinate Spending by “Washington” MUST STOP.

A Fundamental Attribute on the “Income-Side” of the Financial Ledger is that Debt is Partially Reduced by  Income Growth. As against other Nations, America has fewer Unique Goods it can sell  them. In part, this is because Washington’s Leaders with their Trade Agreements did not realize a Simple Economic Fact of Life: “A Successful  Country sells its Products Not the Technologies to Produce those Products”. Once the Technologies are Transferred and  Revealed, the Customer Countries merely duplicate the End-Products [and sell them at a Lesser Price]! Thereafter, the Short-Sightedness of the Initial Technology Countries continues to “Bite-Them-In The Pocketbook”.

This has Already Happened to America [Technology Transfer].

Perhaps, Some Countries are in their current Inextricable Economic Dire Straits due to a Lack of Financial Common-Sense by their Government Leaders. This is Not Rocket Science.

Reality.

Coffee Consumption Aids Blood Flow in the Body

News Analysis:  Coffee Consumption Aids Blood Flow In The Body by Dilating small Arteries and Veins therein. Light consumption of only  Two Cups Per Day benefited healthy people by increasing blood flow to their extremities. One can readily assume that Blood Flow to the Brains of people, would give them ‘Clearer Thought’ by helping Oxygenate them.

Thinking “Outside the Box”: Coffee’s use might temporarily offset some of the deleterious effects of Dementia Praecox [DP] to which some Younger Adults suffer. Careers of Youthful Business Executives and other Professionals have been curtailed by ‘DP”; Cognitive Disintegration, from which they suffer, is a Demoralizing Reality for some the finest of Younger Adults.

Progressive Dementia in Older Adults: They may have temporary Lucidity Improvements by drinking Coffee. It may be found, through ‘Double Blind” Testing, that the same Chemical Mechanism is at work [as in healthy individuals].

The Dementia Syndrome needs to be improved upon  [even by the possible ‘Short Time’ Benefit of Drinking Two Cups of  Coffee a Day].
In Medical Science, a little Acorn of an Idea can result in An Oak Tree of Cure.

Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a Stealth Approach in Submarine-Style Plotting

News Analysis:  Trans Pacific Partnership [TPP] Is A Stealth Approach In Submarine-Style Plotting by a Few Countries. Absolutely fearing the “Light Of Day” with Public Disclosure of Discussions, Cabal Members remain silent. Like Cockroaches, they fear Exposure.  The designed omission of China from the Plotters Scheme reverberates loudly to all who are aware of the Nefarious Pact. Additionally, reported ‘Agreement Terms’ of the ‘TPP’ are Grossly Unacceptable to many people who have been ‘Unauthorized” reviewers who are really concerned about citizens’ economic welfare.

Countries who Publicly Espouse Democracy and Fair Play should not engage in Surreptitious Behavior. Their  Hypocrisies dissuade the World Citizenry; When will they ever learn this Principle? The “Masters Of The Universe” [Government Leaders’ “Handlers”] who really Establish Vested-Interest Directions, should realize: “Long Term, There Are No Secrets”. Reality.

English is the Global Language of Commerce

News Analysis:  English Is The Global Language Of Commerce and its Influence Is Omnipresent. Since success in Aviation, Business, International Relations, Sciences, Technologies, and the like are dependent upon Fluent Communication, learning this “Tongue” is mandatory. The ability to influence, and thereby coordinate the activities of others, revolves around their understanding of the communications and compliance there from.

The Diligent worked performed in both attaining the English Proficiency Data as well as displaying it coherently is to be commended.
