Consensus on Education


Human Beings, you and I, from birth to death, will Learn. Lessons which can be positive or negative to benefit family, friends and society. Education is not a Choice, it is Human Nature to Learn. The Healthy Human Brain is taught to compartmentalize data from multiple sources, sort and arrange into information, query and test into intelligence, until it becomes widely accepted as knowledge. This is Education; an ongoing personal process of gathering, analyzing and storing knowledge, used to make and implement the best timely decisions, an important effect of life, mainly judged by other human beings, that depend on you; children, co-workers, peers, and the criminal justice system.

The Word "Budget"


Budget means different things to many people, generally thinking of access to spending money. A 15-year-old student, on an allowance, thinks of daily current expenses. A scholarship winner, studying to attend lectures and hand in assignments, parties and thinks of funding the next party. A person in their twenties with young children or suddenly made responsible for family dependents, thinks of providing schedules. A financially trained individual would focus on income, revenue generation and collection to replenish planned expenditure. An academically trained individual, charged with the responsibility of prioritizing national development goals, thinks of outcomes. So, for all, what is needed is a guide that will help in this most essential financial development.

Foreign Direct Investment 2019


The World Bank forecasts global growth, after reaching 3.1 percent in both 2017 and 2018, is expected to decelerate over the next two years as global slack dissipates, major central banks remove policy accommodation, and the recovery in commodity exporters matures. Amid moderating international trade and tightening global financing conditions, growth in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) is projected to plateau, reaching 4.7 percent in 2019 and 2020, up from 4.5 percent in 2018. The International Monetary Fund (IMF): The steady expansion under way since mid-2016 continues, with global growth for 2018–19 projected to remain at its 3.7 percent for 2017 level. At the same time, however, the expansion has become less balanced and may have peaked in some major economies. Downside risks to global growth have risen in the past six months and the potential for upside surprises has receded.

Diversifying for Growth 2019

(An extract from Foreign Direct Investment 2019)


Diversification of Economic Revenue income must start with Entrepreneurs. Risk-Takers, Idea Promoters, persons with natural and developed Talents and Skills, who are found throughout the Human Race and across the world’s geography. These are the individuals, the sources, the ideas, inventions and innovations to form and build future industries. These are the people, the researchers, the students showing Talents and Skills that Grants and Scholarship Funds, and Universities pursue. International Business and Governments of Developing Countries also seek such people and their ideas to; start, change and improve Business Processes, Sectors and Industries, in the hope of Expanding Operations and Diversifying Economies, while increasing the very essential revenue income.
