  • Saudi Arabia Culture: A Woman's Perspective - Reading a novel about Saudi Arabian history, studying the Sunni Wahhabi beliefs, or watching the evening news doesn't give Westerners true insight into Saudi Arabia culture. Indeed, a culture that is so foreign to the Western lifestyle may seem impenetrable - until you hear the account of a Western woman who lived the culture while nursing in Saudi. Those in the medical profession have the kind of access to the inner workings of the Kingdom in a way that other Westerners simply don't. After all, most contractors live in relative isolation, staying in compounds designed not to raise the ire of Wahhabists who view Westerners (and even other Muslims who don't ascribe to Wahhabi beliefs) as infidels.
  • Saudi Arabia Culture: The Wedding March - Even though Saudi Arabia takes a starring role on the world stage for both its influence in the politics of the Middle East and in its capacity as a major oil producing nation, most Americans perceive the country as one shrouded in mystery, much as its women are shrouded behind the veils they wear. Most Americans know little of Saudi or Wahhabi history; what information they do have comes from a movie they've seen or a novel they've read.

  • The Perfect Storm In The American Economy--What The Dollar's Decline Really Means To Your Pocketbook - A single bad event, by itself, is rarely a cause for worry.

Take the steady, troublesome decline of the value of the American dollar. (See “The Incredible Shrinking Dollar” at www.collectivewizdom.com) That now well-established decline has turned into what appears eerily like a nosedive. The dollar has now lost about 46% of its value against this newly-created Frankenstein of Old-World Eouropean currencies.

These exercises usually took place in Western Europe, especially West Germany, but also in some other countries like South Korea.

  • Today, Would Warren Buffett Buy Coca Cola or Pepsi? part 1 - In 1988, Warren Buffett stunned the financial world when he purchased 94 million shares of Coca Cola. No other financial guru saw this as a good investment. Buffett acquired 93.4 million share, for a total investment of $1.023 billion. By the end of 1989, Coca Cola represented 35 percent of Berkshire common stock portfolio. It was a bold move. What caused Buffett to purchase? There was no distressed pricing. But rather, according to Buffet, the company was undervalued. The market felt the company value was $15.1 BILLION. He felt it was worth anywhere from $20.7 billion (based on a 5 percent growth in owner earnings) to $48.3 billion (based on a 15 percent growth). So, like Benjamin Graham, Buffett felt there was a huge margin of safety-the discount of intrinsic value.

  • Desalination Part 3 of 4: Getting Better All the Time - Continued from Desalination Part 2: No Salt, Please.......... In the late 1970s John Cadotte of America’s Midwest Research Institute and the FilmTec Corporation created a much-improved membrane by using a special cross-linking reaction between two chemicals atop a porous backing material. His composite membrane consisted of a very thin layer of polyamide, to perform the separation, and a sturdy support beneath it. Thanks to the membrane’s improved water flux, and its ability to tolerate pH and temperature variations, it went on to dominate the industry. At around the same time, the first reverse-osmosis plants for seawater began to appear. These early plants needed a lot of energy. The first big municipal seawater plant, which began operating in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in 1980, required more than 8 kilowatt hours (kWh) to produce one cubic metre of drinking water.

  • Islam 101- What Is The Qur'an? - Islam is a misunderstood and often vilified religion here in the west. One of the most common ways of attacking the religion is by taking quotes from the Qur’an, the primary source of religious knowledge for Muslims, and trying to prove from a single verse that the entire religion is violent or hateful. Unfortunately, when a person who wants to attack Islam pulls a random verse from the Qur’an as “proof,” they do not take into account the context that the verse was given in, or the verses that come before and after it. Thus, they are often successful in making a benign verse seem barbaric and terrifying.
