Kick the sugar habit
07/17/2021
Healthy living means no more than 6% of daily calories of 2000 calories a day should come from sugar intake. During the coronavirus pandemic poor health habits mean pouring gasoline on fire. It is morally indefensible and a sign of a backward country that the the health guideline is set at 10% in the US. The mean consumption of sugar today in the US is 13%. In teaspoons about 6-8 teaspoons of added sugar is the healthy limit, at 16 calories per teaspoon this is 96 calories to 120 calories from added sugar. In grams this is 24 grams at 4 grams per teaspoon of sugar. It is critical to make it a habit to look at packaged foods labels and make intelligent choices. And to simply cut the sugar we add in tea, coffee or drinks by a third or a fourth. Good habits = good health. It is also critical to start this with public education in schools from K1 to high school.

Changes in Saudi society and women's participation under MBS 2023
09/30/2023
Profound changes are taking place in Saudi society and participation, opportunities for women. It is similar to what happened in Turkey under Kemal Ataturk in the 1920's and 1930's. The role of MBZ in the United Arab Emirates and of MBS in Saudi in bringing changes to societies that have not changed since the Renaissance changed the way Europe looked at the world leading to the scientific and industrial revolutions. These changes affect a larger region extending from Saudi to India and Indonesia, that increase participation of women and the exercise of fundamental rights of women, participation of women in society and opportunities for education and advancement. The changes for women in East Asian societies are now within reach of South Asian and West Asian socieities as they embrace the scientific and industrial revolutions.

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.
