RIP Prof. Bourloug. He rabished Malthusian ideas of the Club of Rome. In the early 1960s Prof Borlaug realised that creating short-stemmed varieties would leave food plants more energy for growing larger heads of grain. His high-yield, disease-resistant dwarf wheat quickly boosted harvests in Latin America, and his techniques were particularly successful in South Asia, where famine was widespread. (His) Green Revolution helped world food production more than double between 1960 and 1990 with Asia, Africa and Latin America in particular benefiting. The Nobel Institute said he had helped save hundreds of millions of lives. Prof Borlaug died late on Saturday evening at his home in Dallas from complications with cancer, said a spokesperson for Texas A&M University, where he had worked.

Master degree on poverty. At the age of 22 years I had only half of my teeth. All had decayed and I had removed them. Only after getting a job and having money I took care of the other half that are still here. I have scars on my legs of infection of wounds. I had no resistance to infection due to poor nourishment. Once a year our mother gave us stuff to purge worms and then some vitamins. But it was not enough. At 12 years of age. I for the first time was examined by a doc. Lack of Vitamin B1 have caused a valve of my heart not to blow smooth. Dr. Artur V. E. Maurano, he said the prescriptions. To this day I remember him. Gave me iron, Vitamins B12 and B1. Two years later, he said I was OK. I used to see him once in a while going to the train station. Once I stopped seeing him I askled and they said he had died. I went home crying to tell my mother. Probably he saved my life. At 16 I had had enough of poverty and promised to myself I would get out if it. Legally without resorting to crime. First I dropped out. I read the Readers Digest people having holidays, traveling by plane. Having challenging jobs. I said to myself I am going to get that. And I did. Not only I did. I studied the causes of the poverty and wealth and I keep telling people how to avoid and get rich. Not rich in the sense of millionaires. But nice middle class life. The type no one can send you down to poverty once again.

china is doing fine, will do better next year, and the year after, for at least 75 years, probably for 300 china will at some stage account for 35-40% of global gdp and china will attain full spectrum pax sinica in near and far space within the time period during which it attains above gdp attribution, and afterwards, its gdp generated in near and far space should kick in in the shorter term, over the next 48 months, the stimulus and quantitative easing should show progressive result as the geo-changing infrastructure programs truly get underway, and afterwards, the results of the programs would kick in, and ramp up you have heard of the expression virtuous cycle? it will happen.
