A focus on customer service and low prices at Amazon
08/12/2013
Bezos has some desks made from repurposed doors to remind employees of the importance of frugality. This is similiar to the frugal approach of Wal-Mart founder, Sam Walton, who made his business grow by passing on every bit of saving to customers and running a sharp frugal operation. Walton also paid a keen attention to incorporating new technological capabilities in the retail business, which made Wal-Mart a leader in the way it managed its inventory and responded to customer demand. Amazon has grown with similiar leadership qualities.

Mexico's history from the period of nationalization by Cardenas in 1938 and changes to the constitution under president Nieto in 2013
08/13/2013
Pena Nieto's effort to navigate the difficult waters of Mexican politics and public sentiment to modernize Pemex operations with technology from major oil companies. The changes to the constitution requiring a two thirds majority is made possible by prior agreement with the opposition PAN party. A majority of public opinion, about 65% according to some polls, is opposed to the changes. Passage is made easier by making agreements similiar to Malaysia, Iraq and other countries, with Mexico not giving ownership to foreign oil companies, only paying for a portion of the oil in production sharing agreements.

China's Grade 2 national standard and the WHO standard for air pollution- only 4 of 72 cities met WHO standards in first half 2013, according to China's Environment Ministry
08/12/2013
China's standard is for 35 micrograms per cubic meter compared to the WHO standard of 25 micrograms per cubic meter for airborne particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrograms in diameter in 24 hours. Only 4 cities out of 72 cities across China met the WHO standard in China for the first half of 2013, according to China's Environment Ministry. Pollution in cities like Harbin made the national and international news in the winter of 2013-2014. Prime minister Li Keqiang made tackling pollution a national top priority in 2014, as China moved away from a single minded focus on GDP growth.

Job Growth Eases Fears About Effect of Closing
New York Times 11/08/13
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.
