Jet d’Eau [500 L (132 gallons) x 1 sec = 140 meters (459 feet) high] Sponsored by the Sultanate of Oman. Ferris’ Wheel. | if [...]

Last week I had a unique opportunity to watch Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam speak. Dr. Kalam was regarded in India as the People’s President and served in office from 2002-2007. He is known, interestingly enough, to play a key role in India’s space race and nuclear development, quite odd combination for such a [...]

As I arrived in London my impression was similar to my previous visits, “Wow, this place is clean!” The closest thing that I have utilized in terms of a underground subway system is the BART in the Bay Area or NYC’s Subway system-both of which differ like day and night. However, the underground in London [...]

We have all been exposed to the cliche saying “it is better to give than to receive.” Well in today’s society we are seeing this giving done in very astute ways. Let me start with a couple examples. The first classic example is the Fruit Stripe chewing gum, with lavish colorful stripes and temporary tattoos [...]
