10/11/2014
The role of reading in a child's development is crucial for the child's future, with parents reading to children an activity to be encouraged and fostered by society in every way. How can parents use electronic technology of iPads to shift some of the television time to the wider selection of books and programs of educational value for children? Training children to make wise and useful choices of educational value from the wide proliferating selection on the internet is itself an exercize that is needed, just as the exercize of showing children how to make wise and useful eating choices is needed.

Reviving the Ukraine economy- building a new model for the aircraft industry
10/11/2014
Building a new model for the aircraft industry requires stepping out of Ukraine's old state managed model to operating as an independent enterprise jointly owned by the state and private companies in Ukraine and Europe. This would open the aircraft industry to developing ties across Europe. Currently the industry is struggling with lack of funds, and younger managers opposed to older managers who grew up with the older model based on design and development in Kiev and manufacturing based in Russia. Difficulties with the old model included intellectual property rights of Ukrainian industry, as Ukraine developed its own technology. A Ukrainian immigrant to the U.S. developed the first helicopter.

Why today's Islamic societies and nations are more anomaly than fitting into the pattern of Islamic commercial societies in history
10/10/2014
Trade and commerce was an essential part of the great Islamic societies in history, giving them a large degree of openness and liberal ideas. This is not always present, but is so to a large extent in long periods of prosperity. For various reasons needing more research, this changed and reverted to less receptiveness to science and technology in the 19th c. and 20th c. , a period when great advances in medicine, industry, transport, were made in Europe and America. Buddhist societies confronted this influence in 19thc and 20th c. with warinness and suspicion, but later changed to open embrace for Japan in 19th c. , S, Korea in 20th c. , China in 21st c. , and India (as Buddhist-Hindu) in 21st c. The potential is for this to change with Indian and Indonesian Muslims acting as a catalyst for Islam swinging back to its usual mode, but can take a few decades to develop.

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.
