The business lords who built America. The tide is turning now.
At the tomb of John Dustin Archbold (July 26, 1848 in Leesburg, Ohio – December 6, 1916 in Tarrytown, New York) who was an American businessman and one of the United States’ earliest oil refiners. His small oil company was bought out by John D Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company. Archbold rose rapidly at Standard Oil, handling many of the complex secret negotiations over the years. By 1882, he was Rockefeller’s closest associate, and typically acted as the company’s primary spokesman. Rockefeller, after 1896, left business matters to Archbold while he pursued his philanthropy; as vice president, Archbold effectively ran Standard Oil until his death in 1916. Inspired by Rockefeller’s policies, Archbold’s main goals were stabilization, efficiency, and minimizing waste in refining and distributing petroleum products. The company was broken up by the Supreme Court in 1911 into 34 smaller operations, Archbold became president of the largest one, Standard Oil of New Jersey.

Daily Thought
I might not agree with many of the ideologies of Bernie Sanders. I lean more Republican in fiscal policy and deregulation. I love most of the Silicon Valley billionaires and believe they are the engine of our economy, future, and innovation. But most Americans and the World need Bernie right now. So I vote for the World. #bernie

Daily Thought
بعد أربعة عشر قرناً من المحاولة على إشعال الحرب بين السنة و الشيعة، فشلت كل هذه المحاولات و إلى الآن لم يحدث حرب مذهبية كبرى في الإسلام …. و ذلك لان الشعوب الإسلامية بالاعم الأغلب تتجاوز الخلافات البسيطة و تؤمن بالأخوة الإسلامية مهما نبحت كلاب التفرقة مثل ياسر الحبيب و عثمان الخميس اللذان تبث محطاتهما ٢٤ ساعة بميزانيات هائلة.
After 14 centuries of attempts to start civil war between Shia and Sunni, all these attempts have failed to create one single major war between them. That is because most Muslims do not see that the minor differences do not break their Muslim brotherhood, no matter how much the dogs of divisiveness bark like Yasser Alhabib and Othman Alkhamees whose networks broadcast 24 hours with huge budgets.

ما كان مصدر قوة للحراك اللبناني و هو العفوية الشعبية و غياب القيادة، بات ضعفاً له بعد مرور ١٥٠ يوم على انطلاقته.
What was a source of power for the Lebanese revolution which is its sponteniouty and leaderlessness became a source of weakness after 150 days from the beginning of the revolution.
غياب العقل التنظيمي الديموقراطي هو مقتل معظم الحراكات الشعبية العربية و الإسلامية.
The absence of the parliamentary democraric mind from the Islamic and Arabic popular movements have destroyed most of it.
البحث عن الشخص الفاضل ليكون قائضاً هو بحث عن المستحيل. نريد نظاماً فاضلاً و موظفين تحت الرقابة و المحاسبة.
Looking for an ideal person to lead is an impossibility. We want ideal systems managed by individuals who are under over sight and checks and balances.
إلقاء اللوم على الأشخاص في الحكومة الحالية ليس له جدوا لانه لا يؤثر على المشروع ألنهضوي و لا على مستقبل البلد، و بالنهاية للقضاء الحق الوحيد للحكم على الأشخاص.
Blaming individuals in current government is not beneficial because it does not contribute to a progressive plan nor to the future of the country. At the end of the day, only the Justice system has tbe right to incriminate someone.
التفوا حول مجلس واحد. ارشّح التجمّع الوطني الديموقراطي في لبنان لهمّة التنسيق بين قوى الحراك الشعبي.
Gather around one organization. I nominate the National Democratic Coalition of Lebanon for such a task.

The top twenty business trends in 2020 might be
Source: http://www.ovations.com.au/latest-news-march-2013/twenty-trends-for-2020.html
1) Robots taking our jobs
Probably the biggest change that is affecting our businesses is how machines are taking over tasks ranging from window cleaning to inventory management. Anyone with a transaction based job or business will be having a forced career change before the end of the decade.
2) The Internet of machines
Those robots and computers are talking to each other which speeds up business decisions and will strip layers of management from organisations.
3) Flatter organisations
A consequence of those faster decisions is the need for less management. Organisations need to be flatter in order to process information faster unless they want to risk nimble competitors seizing business opportunities.
4) 3D printing
One of the most exciting, and business changing, technologies is 3D printing which allows you to print a coffee cup at your desk, help robots construct new buildings and a give a little boy a set of fingers.
5) Nano-technology
The 3D printing is happening alongside biological engineering. By the end of the decade, we’ll be able to print our own skin. By 2030, we’ll be printing replacement body parts like heart valves.
6) Mobile apps redefining service industries
The mobile phone app is currently booming but the real effects of these mobile services will be felt on industries as diverse as the taxi industry to the mining and agricultural sectors.
7) The fight for control of the mobile payments system
An upshot of the app economy is the question of who processes, and makes money, from online payments. The battle between banks, credit card companies, telcos and software companies is going to be a major business story of the decade.
8) Reinventing entertainment
Apps and connected machines are going to change consumer behaviour and nowhere is this more notable in the entertainment industries which are being revolutionised by tools like Google Glasses and social media.
9) The fall and rise of social media
Like many innovations social media was greatly hyped and now we’re seeing the backlash of it being oversold. Over the rest of the decade organisations are going to figure out how to use social media services effectively and profitably without hype.
10) Newspapers cease to exist
One of the effects of social media, mobile phone apps and the pervasive internet is the end of newspapers by 2020 as futurist Ross Dawson has predicted.
11) Data rights become an issue
As the amount of data companies and governments collect explodes, the question of who owns that information and what they do with it becomes more pressing. This is a major issue for 2020.
12) The DIY economy continues to rise
Easy to use internet tools have already changed industries like media, travel and retail. This is a continuing disruption where many more sectors are going to find the role of gatekeepers change or are eliminated.
13) A new education revolution
One of those gatekeeper industries is education. The role of universities, training colleges and schools is changing as online learning is revolutionising how students learn.
14) Reskilling the workforce
With all the new technologies entering business, our existing workers need the skills to use them properly. Coupled with online learning, there’s no excuse not to develop the skills to compete in the new economy.
15) Older workers re-entering the workforce
Most of the world is going over the demographic cliff as the baby boomer generation retires. Unfortunately they’re finding out that retirement isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and they are looking at re-entering the workforce.
16) Dealing with a society at retirement age
With an aging population comes a range of issues that could be ignored while the workforce was young, now businesses and communities have to deal with the economic and social consequences of this.
17) China moving up the value chain
A nation that is being deeply affected by their aging population is China and to deal with this, the PRC is moving their industries up the value chain. This has big ramifications for consumers and business owners across the remainder of the decade.
18) Rising incomes in South Asia and Africa
The Twentieth Century model of using immigrants to address labour shortages relies on countries having an excess of skilled, young workers. The countries which have those this century in South Asia and Africa are growing themselves and the 2020s will see trade patterns beginning to change.
19) The great deleveraging
One of the most important factors affecting businesses and communities this decade is the end of the fifty-year post World War II credit boom. Businesses have to learn to make do with less.
20) Taming the Big Data tsunami
The greatest commercial challenge of this decade is dealing with the sheer flood of data streaming into organisations.
Managing and using this information effectivelywill separate business winners from losers. All of these trends point to one thing – business as usual as we knew it in the Twentieth Century is over.
It’s time for thinking fast and different.
