Gold rush in space

New race to win the priceless mineral resources shall be initiated in the universe. There is no doubt that the space mining threatening the earth.

Something more than a century and a half after the California gold rush swept, Silicon Valley in the same U.S. state became the epicenter of a new wave of feverish campaign to precious metals. Only, unlike the diggers of the 19th century, the aim earth gold, now it comes to engineers invading untapped mineral wealth - the moon.

Statement by American astronaut Neil Armstrong that when in 1969. Came to the moon, he made "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," gets a new meaning. Since the beginning of this year there were two large paper, in Canada and Australia, the space devoted to mining, especially on the moon, which is considered the first and most fertile places outside the country to win the valuable mineral resources.

Mineral maps American space agency NASA show that the geological composition of the moon is very rich and is the true source of deposits for the bravest space miners. Among these riches untouched a large number of rare minerals such as yttrium, lanthanum and samarikum for which there is great demand for his role in the high-tech industry.

President of the Canadian Space Society traffic Arnie Sokolov believes that the planet mining is becoming the driving force of cosmic research:

- I have no doubt that one day the space mining to overtake earth - he is convinced.

Sokolov added that for some brave souls, and profound space agencies started just this way. The main "nursery" in the U.S. Silicon Valley. Among the dozens of companies that deal in California this research develops competition, which received concrete expression in the competition for "Google's" "X-lunar" reward of 30 million dollars. It is intended for private companies that most successfully lowered a robot to the moon, they manage to run it longer and send your best shots, especially water, back to Earth.


Mars Society President Dr. Jonathan Clark of Geological Sciences in Australia, said that the Moon follows the limits of the mining industry. Predicts that the water target of the first conquest. Clark believes that the lunar water is of crucial importance for the future of space mining mission, not only for basic functions, for drinking and washing, but also as a fuel for robots and converted into oxygen for breathing:
- We know that there is water on the moon. Water is rocket fuel. It sustains life and agriculture. Thus, the lunar commercial exploitation is the first step to becoming a part of our Moon, humane world - confirms Bob Richards, Director of "Moon Express," one of dozens of companies in Silicon Valley, working in mining research space.
Richards from Canada moved to Silicon Valley, because he thinks it's "capital of capital with an appetite for risk." It is believed that the mining space that has become a reality within a decade. In the following years, the intensive will explore the moon and search for its ore "hot spots":
- We already know that the moon has a more noble metal than the overall reserves on Earth. The race is on! - He says.
The moon is expected crowd of robots and astronauts, but started racing very earthly, and the question that arises even ground. Can anyone lay claim to the moon?
This is exactly the most attractive part of the month is a gold rush. According to the agreement of the universe in 1967. The no nation can possess Month, which extends to most individuals and businesses. But:
- Pursuant to the agreement, the property is not allowed, but encouraged free access and exploitation. You can not have anything, but can go out there and exploit - says lawyer James Danstan space issues.
American Silicious Valley is the epicenter of research, but the race is global. China, however, plans to put a probe on the moon as early as this year, and to send astronauts to the 2020th year, so as things stand, the water in Beijing initiated a golden race conquering the moon.


LIFE IN MULTIPLE WORLDS

Richards is confident that people will find a way to settle on the Moon: - We become beings capable of living in several worlds. The first man to enter into Mars in our lifetime, for the next 10 to 20 years. And our people will be transformed. Pads with its technology. What we call humanity redefinisaće to be taught how to reprogram our bodies to live longer, with machines capable to work in symbiosis with our bodies to treat the disease - young scientist predicts.

The myth of Eldorado gold live again

What is truth and what is myth in the story of the lost city of riches. Visits to the treasures that are not related to the end, but for a man to have confirmed recent research.

Times of crisis have again revived the myth of gold Eldorado. South American Indian legend, oral tradition that has assumed proportions of the myth of a lost, golden paradise, Eldorado, has led many conquistador in the rainforest and mountains of South America during the 15th and 16 century.

Their search ended in the discovery of the New World countries, but never Eldorado, and they eventually transformed a symbol of the dream of a desired but unattainable.

Recent archaeological studies, however, have cast a new light on the whole story. Confirmation that Eldorado means "golden man", not a "golden place" (sp. El indio dorado - Indian gold, sp. Dorado El Rey - The King of Gold), showed not only from the new angle of an ancient Indian beliefs, but and launched a new type of "gold rush".


The myth of Eldorado born around the 1530th in the Colombian Andes, where Gonzalo Jimenez de conquistador Quesada found Muisko Indians tribes. The story which I heard from Indian elders quickly spread and took on mythic dimensions. It was a story about the golden Eldorado man, not in gold, but its expansion and beautification transformed the myth of Eldorado, a rich kingdom, the king of gold.

The transformation of the myth the legend, the king of gold by the end of gold, had a great influence on European conquistador, especially Spaniards. Fascinated by the story, Francisco de Gonzalo Pizarro and Oreljana the 1541st led an expedition during which they did not find El Dorado, but they discovered Amazon.


Expedition 1541-1545. German Baron Philip von Hutena looking for Eldorado led him to Venezuela. In the 1569th Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada organized the expedition that started in Bogota. English nobleman Sir Walter Rowley continued pursuit 1595, and his book is placed Eldorado somewhere along the Orinoco (Venezuela today). This place was on the cards sailors and explorers, as long as its absence did not prove Alexander von Humboldt.

Although the Spanish never found Eldorado, yet they amassed great treasures seized by the Indians of South and Central America. Gold that were taken back to Spain was so significant that shook the country's economy.


Search for Eldorado Europeans did not, therefore, would be completely without merit. Historical documents and archaeological discoveries have agreed on the usual story Musika that begins after the death of the ruler of the enthronement ceremony of the new, usually his nephew, who in a special ritual, totally naked, but covered with gold dust and gold ornate decorations, items for worship of the precious metal and gems - throwing them into the lake.

One of these sacred objects, a device with a small gold figurines, found in 1969. in a cave south of Bogota. Similar items were found in the waters of the lakes in this part of the world, which the Indians considered sacred, they found not only the specific alloy of gold Tumbaga, "tailor-made" of gold, silver and copper, but also an extraordinary technique of making Europe what that time is not known.

The notion that this nation is almost half its total gold production was offering as a gift to the gods, believing that by contributing to the harmony of society Muiska, it became the "trigger" for the invasion of Europeans in Eldorado. For the gold that Muiske watched as the spiritual value of the Europeans who went in it recognized only material value.

Desperate hunt for gold, for which they have over the centuries many of them left their lives in the South American wilderness, revived again. Former clash of civilizations around the different views on the value of gold, now turned into a battle of archaeologists who want to preserve the legacy of the ancient nation of thieves and ready for anything to get their hands on that golden treasures.
 
 
 


The molten civilization

Seventies thieves they reached such quantities of gold, in northern Colombia that caused the earthquake of this metal in the market, as it sometimes happened in Spain. Most of these cases were melted, which was destroyed forever their significance valuable data about the ancient civilization. What is, however, preserved in the museums of Bogota and London, testifies not only to the beliefs of the ancients, differing views on gold, but it is also a valuable addition to the truth in the myth of Eldorado.

"We should not forget that the reason for buying Chinese citizens abroad and additional taxation of luxury goods in China, where the price is 30 to 40 percent. Because Chinese people are waiting to go to Europe and buy the lower cost of luxury goods," the director said, "Ben and the company, "Joel de Montgolfije.

Initial figure of $ 20,000, adjusted to take into account differences in purchasing power, equal to the annual disposable income of $ 38,000 in the most developed markets.
By 2020, the consumption of the "rich" in the People's Republic of China will be almost equal to Japan's total consumption in a given year, 128 percent higher than in Germany and three times higher than in the South Korean consumer, said BCG.

Future Economy: China before America

Futuristic analyzes indicate that the economic situation in the coming decades will be very different, with much higher consumption of food and energy and the increase in population by 30 percent.

All consequences of drought, climate change, irrational exploitation of natural resources - Perpendicular to the ground in less than half a century, according to the predictions of the experts. A study by the London "Šroder investment" states that in the next forty years the population increased by 30 percent, and food and energy will become a benefit.

Another study banking company "Citigroup" predicts economic turbulence in the pedestal. China will surpass the U.S. gross domestic product, a higher GDP than Russia will - India.


The country's population, according to estimates, "Shroder Investment", in 2050. increase by one-third, and consumption will be much higher. Those who daily consume 10 to $ 100 will be three billion more.

- Therefore, the scope of the global economy will be tripled, while increasing demand for food, housing, cars - this according to a U.S. study. - To meet the needs will require 35 percent more food and 37 percent more energy.

Both analyzes show the futuristic new economic power - China. "Shroder investment" says that this country the 2060th have a share in the world economy by 28 percent and become the leading economy in the world. Banking firm "Citigroup" China earlier releases in the foreground.


- China will 2025th by the nominal gross domestic product of U.S. threatened - say experts in this business. - In the third place will be ahead of Russia, across India. Brazil, which currently occupies the seventh position, but next year will overtake France and Britain, and India will succeed 2015th year.

According to analyzes of U.S. bank economists, India will have a higher GDP than Germany 2020th when Russia will already exceed France, Canada and the UK.


REFORM NECESSARY

Governments of developed countries should, according to the "Citigroup" to adopt fiscal policies that will encourage the construction of residential areas, using public transportation, and moderate consumption of food.

- A new economic model requires a more responsible environmental policy based on the controlled use of limited resources - researchers say. - Reforms in the area of ​​energy can increase the living standards of the country's population by 16 percent over the next 50 years.

Asia takes precedence over the map education

Asia takes over the United States and Europe primacy in higher education. In 2020. year, 40 percent of graduates from China and India.

MAP of Education, the rapidly changing appearance.

As a mirror of economic power, the universities in the United States, Western Europe, Japan and Russia have dominated the prestige in the world after World War II. The economic rise of Asia, particularly China and India is rapidly changing the established order. To 2000. U.S. and China are to equalize the number of graduates, India caught up with Japan. By the end of the first decade of this century, four out of ten students in the world come from China and India.

Prediction of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in Paris said that 40 percent of over 200 million graduates aged between 25 and 34 2020. coming from the two countries, each with over one billion inhabitants. Only China will provide 29 percent of graduates in 2010, five times more than the previous decade, while in India and the United States to come 12 or 11 percent of the graduates.


U.S. citizens and the EU will do little more than a third of young people academically educated people in OECD countries and the Group of 20 most developed countries and those in the fast-rising - the organization said that comprises 34 industrialized countries in the world.

The share of the U.S., until recently, unquestioned power of the university, dropped from 17 in 2000. to 14 percent in 2010 and is expected to 2020th sink at the 11 If this trend continues, the number of college-educated people ages 25 to 34, from Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia, Saudi Arabia and South Africa will be nearly 40 percent higher than the number of people from all OECD countries by 2020 notes OECD spokesman Spencer Wilson. Brazil would, as anticipated, could have more graduates than Germany, Turkey more than Spain, Indonesia three times more than France.
The migration of knowledge, with the rapid development of technology, however, gives rise not only a new world university ranking, but it changes the way of studying. While China and India are steadily taking over, the fact remains that these and other countries that provide an increasing number of graduates, rely on Western standards, so the scientists noticed that the big question is whether the Chinese experts will be able to create new models.
Meanwhile, American universities are trying to put technology at the service of attracting students. This fall, more than one million students participate in an experiment which, estimated to be able to influence changes in the study.
Distance learning is not new, but now some of the major American universities such as Harvard and MIT, offer online courses. These two universities were linked in the project worth 60 million dollars, the program "Edeks" that offers an interactive "virtual" courses available to computer users anywhere in the world, free of charge, entrance exams, at least in this, the experimental phase.
Entering "heavyweights" in the arena of internet-study could, experts note, that a turning point. For now, priority is given to studying "eye to eye", but the emergence of new technological resources, as well as materials for study in digital form, creating not only changed the geography of higher education, but to displace the "virtual sphere". The trend is certain, given that, according to the OECD, since 1998. by 2008. employment in the field of science and technology grew at a faster pace than total employment.


THREE WAYS OF THINKING

Chinese students are highly placed in the prestigious OECD test - "writing" that measures skills in reading, mathematics, science. Andreas Schleicher, responsible for this test, notes that in China an impressive school buildings, unlike the West where they are typically shopping centers. Cultural differences, he said, reflecting on students thinking about how success in school. In the United States considered that it was "a matter of pure luck and talent." In Europe, they say it is a matter of family tradition. In China, most people think that success depends only on the effort.

When should you change job?

Although this topic is nowadays extremely inappropriate, because they are happy with any job, let alone to think about changing jobs because you are not satisfied with it, sometimes to know where and why draw the line.

Wages and poor long-term position with the unchanged situation in the scale of progress are the main reasons why you should change jobs. However, in these times when you're not sure you even have a job tomorrow, it would be pretty irresponsible of us to advise you - Banish and looking for something else. However, if you are determined to work on that you can not stay longer then the second option you choose - you are looking for something else, and only leave when you find it. Do not risk it.

Besides, you need a job change and a few others, not so radical reasons caused situations.

Who you're such a

Poor poor environment affects you. It is a fact. If you're surrounded by incompetent and negative people, people with no creativity, hope and perspective make sure that you will become such. Drowning is always pulling each other on the bottom. Save yourselves from this shipwreck.

Objectives

Do you remember your first day on the job? Do you remember your ideals, goals and plans? Your decisions? What is with them today? Bad company, firm tone pulls you along. The bottom is getting closer, all the stars on. Breaking the Chains, and try to re-attain its star. We know very well that 90% of these targets unrealistic and unattainable, but a man who goes through life not aspiring to any goal, live in vain.

They cost you money and time

And time is money, and if you throw throwing time and money. Can you afford such a luxury. According to one theory, the ideal time for retention in the workplace, where some time is not advancing two years. If after those two or maximum three years of your site, or status, it does not materially change - modify. Also, it is always good to change two jobs. Only after a second job to understand what it is, how it works and how much work and sacrifice required.

Cash in of his work

The most important lesson you must learn is to learn, rewarding their work. This, unfortunately, goes with age, but do not worry, eventually you will know exactly what your price and your confidence is growing more, you will need less time to distinguish. You just never wait too long. Not ashamed to say how much you're worth, even in local currency.

Migration shaken Europe

The world is changing and that remains the same: the Greeks are going back to Australia, the Irish in the United States, Argentina, in Spanish, the Portuguese in Angola ...

Tens of thousands of Portuguese, Greeks and Irishmen emigrated from their countries because of the impossibility of finding a job. Once a migrant European Union was the top destination for seeking jobs and better life, but now more and more Europeans left the Old Continent.

For the year to about 2,500 Greeks migrated to Australia, while at least 10,000 have left the Portuguese in Angola in search of a better life, says the London "Guardian".

Ireland's official statistics are even self-defeating. It is expected that by the end of the year as many as 50,000 people to leave the country, mainly in Australia and the USA. While the change in migration trends, unusual relocation are becoming more popular - from Lisbon to Luanda, from Barcelona to Buenos Aires ...


rom the Portuguese government announced that as many as 98 000 people registered in the consulates of some countries in Africa. That's nearly double the number of registered 2005th year.

Greece is for one year lost 9.4 percent of doctors, while they come from poorer countries, unskilled labor.

The average world income

International Labour Office calculated that the world's average salary is 1480 dollars.

The rich are disillusioned, and poor data does not seem realistic. International Labour Organization (ILO) was first released publicly with the world's average salary calculation. It is, for someone everything, and the other incredible - 1480 dollars per month.  The study involved 72 countries worldwide


The explanation lies in the unique methodology which economists ILO served and, of course, the fact that the income always means the gross amount.

They are the first of the national statistical institute took data on average monthly income. These figures are multiply by the total number of employees, but without the self-employed, meaning entrepreneurs and artisans. And without the people who receive some form of social assistance. State averages are gathered and divided by the total number of employees in the world. So they came to the world average, which is less than $ 18,000 a year.

To make the data comparable,
ILO economists are taken into account the cost of living in each country and what is the average salary in that country can buy. State averages are calculated by the "consumer dollars," with a value equal to the dollar spent in America.


 
For calculation of the global plate had the most influence most populous country, one with the largest number of workers, because they are the most and contribute the total sum of wages in the world. It is above all China.

- If someone in China has received a salary of 1,500 yuan a month, he will get it in the bank $ 200 - explains the ILO economist Patrick Belser Would the BBC.


But that's not what we use to calculate the global average, because what is important here is what people can buy these from 1,500 yuan. When compared with purchasing power, we learned that actually is worth about $ 400.

In this study, the highest paid employee in Luxembourg. The average monthly salary 4089 dollars. Following Norway, with 3678 dollars the average wage, and the third is Austria - 3237 dollars.

At the opposite end of the world's income is Tajikistan, where the average salary is only 227 dollars.

America gets competition

The United States remains the dominant global superpower, but no more "isolated". America the 2011th reminiscent of the Roman Empire from the 200th year, or the UK on the eve of World War I.

In 2003, when the world's elite club called the first time China, India, Nigeria and Brazil to join them at the summit of the seven most developed countries in Evian France, addressed the gathering new Brazilian leader:

 - Gentlemen, I would suggest you to meet next year in Brazil, to prepare for the time period, for about twenty years ago, when five of you will no longer be here. Because then the number one country in the world will be China, the U.S. number two, number three, India, Japan will be the fourth ... and I regret to say that others will not. And I'll be there ... So, get used to the developing world - said Lula da Silva.

 It was a joke that Lula is five years later recounted the former head of the World Bank James Wolfensohn. Even then, however, Wolfensohn noted that the joke wore an important message to the established group in power. At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, it has already mapped out the path from which it is hard to return.

 The United States continues to lead militarily and economically, but in recent years, the world's largest power indicators are increasingly encouraged to think about shaken "American empire". U.S. still hold about a quarter of world production, three times more than China and Japan, the current crisis the euro is somewhat stronger dollar as reference currency, the U.S. military budget is still untouchable. U.S. spending on the military are six times higher than China's, even 11 times of the French ...

 At the same time, housing prices in the U.S. fell by more than 30 percent, unemployment shot up to more than nine percent, and one in six Americans depend on the "dots" for food. The budget, even three decades ago in the black, is now reaching the proportions of the current debt of Greek tragedy. Washington political scene is paralyzed and the country's credit rating downgraded.

This, however, is not the first crisis, and is expected to be the world's largest economy, which has a global currency and brings together leading minds, to escape from the crisis - is strengthened. Do you?

Traditionally, the U.S. economic recovery followed a pattern of reducing unemployment as soon as the lower interest rates encourage consumers and the construction industry. This time was different. U.S. has more houses than it needs. Of America the black cloud looming recession.

Since World War II the United States intervened in volatile areas, defending their interests. From the "control" of China fifties, through addressing issues in Latin America over the next two decades, the Cold War and the subsequent "stabilization" of Eastern Europe and Africa, the United States on 21 century marked the struggle against terrorism and control the Middle East. Military spending, however, have grown enormously in Iraq and Afghanistan, increasing the dizzying, and inevitably, the external debt of the United States:

- America the 2011th Rome is the 200th Kingdom on or before the First World War - Empire at its zenith of power, but the cracks are observed. Experience taught that the decline of hard to stop when the first signs appear - military tension, the widening gap between rich and poor economies in outstanding debts, the people who use credit to live through the options, and sometimes an effective policy that does not work. High crime rates, the epidemic of obesity, pornography addiction and excessive use of energy might say something - the United States in the late stage of cultural decadence - finds the British "Guardian".

In other parts of the world - to reverse the trends.

Most populous country, China, and recorded the highest economic growth, has grown in other economic forces. Chinese rise as an economic, military and political power, is one of the biggest events of the first decade of the 21st century. The potential of India are practically unlimited with based economy. It is a challenge to American domination, is a significant counterweight to China, offering a unique culture.

From the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, the capital of the U.S. Cold War enemy, to modern energy giant, Russia as the largest country in the world has long been a powerful player in the global rankings. Brazil with vast natural resources, won the position of regional leader, and the growth and development of this country and make it a real player in the international arena. Finally, and post apartheid South Africa has become the economic leader of the Black Continent, and in spite of high unemployment and poverty, Brix rounded group of countries on the rise.

- The rise of China and India as new global players, like the ascent of Germany in the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th U.S. century, will change the geopolitical environment, with consequences potentially equally dramatic as in the past two centuries. In the same way that spoke of the last century as the "American century", the beginning of this millennium is the age of the developing world, led by China and India - according to the report which is titled "Project 2020" a few years ago published a National Intelligence Council the U.S. government.

China, India, Brazil, Indonesia ... moreover, could be the leader of a new system of international order that puts an end to the institutions and practices established after World War II.
