GM executives say they plan to reduce the number of platforms for vehicles to 14 globally in 2018 from 30 in 2010. GM plans to reduce the number of engine families to 12 by 2018 from the 20 in 2009. Another step GM plans is to keep its investments in new product development stable and not follow the jerky product development that follows the roller coaster ride with sudden increase and decrease in market sales. That kind of product development resulted in wasteful spending.

Christopher Ward, appointed executive director of the Port Authority of New York in 2008, and three engineers from the Port Authority, Pagliettini, O'Connor, and Puza, are the men behind the new look of Ground Zero. The 16 acres of Ground Zero, say observers, have changed at a remarkable pace and the whole place is coming to life. The goal is to have the project completed by the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 events, and have New Yorkers back to where they were before it happened. The fountains, oaks planted, the square, 104 stories tower and the names of the dead inscribed along the borders, returning it to New Yorkers and letting the symbolism speak for itself.

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.
