The Facsimile Machine Is Still With Us 170 Years After Its Invention - Why?
In 1843 a Scottish mechanic and inventor Alexander Bain got a patent for the first facsimile machine. In 1876 another Scottish inventor, Alexander Graham Bell got a patent for the first telephone. Remarkably we had fax 30 years before the telephone. Although fax has gone through several iterations in the past century the basic concept remains the same. That is the ability to...

US Airlines: Untapped New US market ? Practical Geography Courses
As a European who has lived for many years in the US I am often amazed at how poorly geography appears to be taught in this country. When I have asked educators the reason why some have said it’s because geography doesn’t fit neatly into the classifications of either science or art and therefore it can fall through the crack.

Immigration: Can Mexico Build Refugee Camps For 12 Million Displaced Illegal Immigrants?
Is it fair to give citizenship to 12 million Hispanic citizens in the US? No, but then life isn’t fair. Some people who have never smoked get lung cancer; women who lead healthy lives get breast cancer and that’s not fair either.

Investors are now chomping at the bit to be part of the healthcare investment opportunity of the decade. Whereas Facebook and Groupon may be considered fads, healthcare is something that has been around for millennia and is here to stay.

ELECTRONIC EMERGENCY ROOM – New Technology will speed up hospital visits
In the USA in 2010 there were 117 million ER room visits where patients were not admitted.
