“Prelude” To A New Technology In Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Processing

News Analysis: “Prelude” To A New Technology In Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Processing  by Royal Dutch Shell is a 488 Meter (1,601 feet) Vessel (built by Samsung Shipyard In South Korea). This Vessel will be employed in the Indian Ocean offshore of Australia.

Royal Dutch Shell is to be commended for pursuing this State-of-the-Art Technology. Now, every effort should be made to let the World Petrochemical Users know of such a Reality; as well as the Great Expense Ventured in creating the “Prelude”. After doing so, perhaps Politicians will diminish their Sophomoric Rhetoric about the cost of Petrochemicals.

Billions of Dollars invested on  Craft as the “Prelude” are not ‘sourced out of thin air’. They are derived from the results of ” Expensive Upstream (to this Vessel’s Operations) and Downstream Production” and Sales to Customers Worldwide. Reality.

Perth, Australia, is to Have ‘January or February Heat’ in December

News Analysis: Perth, Australia is to Have ‘January Or February Heat’ in December, due,some people say, to Climate Changes Occurring over the Indian Ocean. Temperatures are estimated to reach 35C (95F) or greater, for a number of days. Since this heat level usually comes in later months, people are concerned. What the Future holds Temperature-Wise for them: Global Warming (Earthlings’ Nemesis)  may provide the Answer.

Architects and Construction Companies in Australia should consider using Mega-Temp™ Insulation in their Buildings for Thermal Control. This Product Greatly reduces Solar Thermal Radiation from occurring on Treated Surfaces. Rather than relying on World War 2 Style Insulations a Developer can do much better.  He or She can offer Customers the latest State-Of-The-Art Technology that Performs!

Wasting Energy and Monies on Initially Expensive HVAC Systems and their Subsequent High Operating Costs are demonstrative of poor Economics. Greater Profits are realized, in part, through lessened Expenditures. Wise Businessmen “All Ways and Always Think ‘Bucks'”.

Reality.

Northern Territory, Australia, is an Iron Ore Mining Bonanza

News Analysis: Northern Territory, Australia, Is A Iron Ore Mining Bonanza with Extensive Estimated Deposits. A New Iron Ore Mine being Operated by some Smart Businessmen understand one has to: “Go Where The Ore Is”; A Truthful Credo. They have built the Mining Operation and the needed Infrastructure for its support.
Northern Territory has about a population of 230,000+ living in an area of 1,349,000+ Km2 (520,000+Mi2) so Infrastructure has to be included in any Projects considered by Investors.

Some Miners say there could be up to two billion tons of Iron Ore in the Northern Territory (yet less than 20% of the area has been explored). As such, Entrepreneurs may want to consider investing in Exploration/Production Companies operating there. Investments made Today can bring Profits Tomorrow to  Aggressive Investors. Reality.

As Farmers Worldwide Know: In Nature, There is an Ebb, then a Flow

News Analysis: Western Australia is starting to enjoy an abundant grain harvest after several years of dismal  production. The prescient farmer who understands the concept of “Famine followed by Feast” will take economic measures to deal with the facts of farming. Such strategic moves as: Establishing long-term credit with financial institutions in his geographic area [if available]; Agronomy advice on the latest farming [and watering] techniques from the local college or university; Purchasing equipment that is reliable for low maintenance cost; Having worthy employees or contract help; And, of course, choosing the proper crop[s] to grow for the farm’s environmental locale.

The industrious Western Australians are now reaping what that have sown. They are a testament to farmers’ intrepidness: Reality.

Northern Territory, Australia May Become a Thoroughfare to Asia

News Analysis:  Entrepreneurs throughout the world should consider the close proximity of Northern Territory [NT] to over 2,000,000,000 people to its north. If one considers the possibility of mining various minerals in NT as well as developing manufacturing to serve the aforementioned neighboring masses [China, India,  Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam,  etc.], opportunities abound. The  “Hard Work Ethic” of Australians makes the area even better for investment. An Entrepreneur should realize above all: “THE WORLD BELONGS TO THE AGGRESSIVE.”

Central Bank of Papua New Guinea Suffers Hacking

News Analysis:  The Internet allows Institutions even in more ‘remote’ areas, from large metropolises, to be victimized similar to transgressions against the same in major cities of the world. The best IT security systems can be enhanced by employee awareness but a panacea to stop hacking has yet to be invented. Vigilant forensic electronic examination of an event, with the intended apprehension of the miscreants [and their punishment] might dissuade some hackers.

An Economic Oasis in the Expanse

News Analysis: A very positive aspect of Mining in general is the creation of employment in more desolate areas of the world. The “Economic Multiplier” spun from employee wages and spent locally, further enhances the economic benefit to a geographic area. If one considers both the gain to the mining organization [which took the investment risk] as well as the employees’ earnings the situation is better for a ‘community’. If the mined products are utilized in the same country, so much the better.

$1 TRILLION for Real Estate

News Analysis: “Quality Management” of real estate investments is critical for passive investors. A strong ‘watch dog’ advocate can make certain no irregularities  occur with a property purchase as well as its maintenance and management. Much of real estate is based on “The Greater Sucker Principle” [that property will be held until a buyer [unwitting “Sucker”] comes along who will pay a GREATER PRICE than the current purchaser did]. Historically, real estate fraud has been endemic throughout the world for many years. “Trust, But Verify” is absolutely essential for ALL aspects of any real estate transaction.
