Is China's GDP growth for 1st quarter 2015 the 7% official figure, or below 5% as estimated by Capital Economics, Citi and the Conference Board
04/27/2015
Experts say the official numbers for GDP are "fudged" or simply way off. The Bureau of National Statistics does not release the methodology, inflation assumptions and other basis for the GDP figures, making many of the numbers hard to reproduce. Transparency is seriously missing in the figures. As Communist party chief of Liaoning provincee, prime minister Li Keqiang, looked at the GDP numbers with skepticism, considering instead figures on electricity consumption, rail cargo, bank loans, as more reliable indicators of economic activity and growth.

Sue Desmond-Hellmann, CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
04/25/2015
Desmond-Hellmann, a physician by training, grew up in Reno, Nevada. She talks to Adam Bryant about innovation, failure and resilience, and respect for others, how one deals with a person who is struggling so as to bring out the best in that person, as what she looks for in hiring interviews. Her response in meetings where she hears a faint quiver in a voice is to try and dispel any fear in that person from speaking to the CEO directly. Some of this goes back to seeing her father run a drug store in Reno and showing caring for people who needed help. In meeting her own challenges she looks at what kind of a person she needs to be and tries to be that kind of a person.

Pret A Manger to Tap the Accelerator on Growth
Wall Street Journal 04/24/15
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
