My blog gives all data, facts and statistics about global real politic economic system, factors of production, poverty and inequality. Also I give information about popular hedonic life of human-beings.
I believe that economy science must become a holistic social science that includes all multi dimensions of human (body, mind, soul) and to give inspiration (motivation) to become perfect "homo-economicus" generations for the 21th century.

Homes and offices will collect and process data from various sensors to flag up when repairs are needed or when the heating needs to be turned on.
As architects race to develop the world's tallest buildings, Dr Pearson said there will be a need for new kinds of elevators taking advantage of magnetic coupling and propulsion systems.
Vehicles could even travel vertically on 'elevator lanes' inside buildings.
German engineers from ThyssenKrupp have already started working on such technology called Multi.
The setup uses magnetic levitation, or maglev, to pull elevator cabins horizontally as well as vertically quickly and smoothly.
By mid-century, Dr Pearson believes buildings will be miles tall and some may be so large that their capacity enables them to function as small cities in their own right.
Consumers planning to dole out sweet treats to dressed up trick-or-treaters are predicted to spend 5.5% more on Halloween candy compared to last year, bringing the anticipated total spend to $3.8 billion – or $30.60 per household. If realized, it would be the most robust growth rate since 2011, according to data from IHS Global Insight. The firm calculates Halloween candy spending as estimated seasonally-adjusted October personal consumption expenditures on candy and chewing gum.
The reason for the added spooky spending is simple: Consumers continue to feel confident about the overall economic outlook, and are willing to stretch their pocketbooks a little wider. Consumers have been doing much of the heavy lifting for the economy so far this year, and Halloween spending isn’t expected to be any different, said Chris Christopher, IHS director of consumer economics.
With its global base of monthly active users growing to 1.7 billion, Facebook saw a 59 percent jump in total revenues to $6.4 billion, mostly from online advertising.
Facebook shares jumped nearly seven percent in after-hours trade on the stronger-than-expected results.
During an event on Monday celebrating Facebook's 12th anniversary, CEO Mark Zuckerberg made it clear he wants 5 billion people using the social network by 2030, according to USA Today. That would mean nearly 60 percent of the human race would be using Facebook in 2030, when the world's population is expected to reach 8.5 billion, according to the UN.
Named the LaFerrari Aperta, the brand new ride is a convertible version of an existing model, the LaFerrari hybrid supercar.
The car was revealed to the public for the first time on September 29 at the Paris Motor Show, but it actually sold out in July -- despite its hefty $2.2-million price tag.
The Aperta features a V12 engine with 750 horsepower, making it the most powerful engine ever used in a Ferrari road car, with a top speed of 217 miles per hour.
Jerusalem (CNN)Archaeologists have discovered a gold coin in Jerusalem bearing the face of Nero, the Roman Emperor best known for playing the fiddle while Ancient Rome burned.
The coin was likely struck in 56-57 AD, researchers say. The Romans took control of the city in 63 BC after what became known as the Siege of Jerusalem.
"The coin is exceptional because this is the first time that a coin of this kind has turned up in Jerusalem in a scientific dig," said Shimon Gibson, co-director of the excavation.
"Coins of this type are usually only found in private collections, where we don't have clear evidence as to place of origin."
Van Gogh suffered a breakdown and cut off his ear after receiving a letter informing him that his brother Theo was getting married, says art expert Martin Bailey in his book,"Studio of the South: Van Gogh in Provence."
"It was fear that pulled the trigger and led to the breakdown," Bailey told CNN in an interview. "Fear of being abandoned in both an emotional and financial way."
American coal producers, suffering under the weight of Obama administration regulations, have sought to export their fuel to Asia, hoping that a new hub of proposed export terminals along a stretch of the Pacific Northwest could serve as their industry’s economic lifeline. Instead, local activists have shot down almost every project, adding a western blockade to what President Obama’s critics have called the “war on coal.”
And on Election Day, this state may go further, with a vote on a first-of-its-kind ballot initiative to tax carbon emissions — a policy that most economists say is the most effective way to tackle global warming. Across the country, both advocates and opponents of climate change measures are watching closely to see if the Washington ballot initiative will herald national efforts to fight global warming through higher taxation of fossil fuels.
Robert Toru Kiyosaki (born April 8, 1947) is an American businessman, investor, self-help author, educator, motivational speaker, activist, financial commentator, and radio personality. Kiyosaki is the founder of the Rich Dad Company, a private financial education company that provides personal finance and business education to people through books, videos, games, seminars, blogs, coaching, and workshops. He is also the creator of the Cashflow board and software games to educate adults and children business and financial concepts.
Kiyosaki is the author of more than 26 books, including the international self-published personal finance blockbuster Rich Dad Poor Dad series of books which has been translated into 51 languages, available in 109 countries and have combined sales of over 27 million copies sold worldwide. Three of his books, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant, and Rich Dad's Guide to Investing, have been on number one on the top 10 best-seller lists simultaneously on Publishers Weekly, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and the New York Times. In 2005, he was inducted into the Amazon.com Hall of Fame as one of the bookseller's top 25 authors.

He has garnered an international reputation for his straight talk, irreverence, courage, and views on money and investing that often contradicts conventional financial advice. Kiyosaki believes that the world needs more entrepreneurs to create jobs to spur economic growth and solve pressing world issues.[5] Much of his teachings and views encourage people to become financially educated and to take an active role in investing for their financial future.
Earlier this year, Disney became the fastest studio to ever hit the $2 billion domestic mark, $3 billion international, and $5 billion globally in one year.
The studio has earned $5.81 billion in global ticket sales as of November 1, according to Variety, and will likely surpass the $6 billion mark after this weekend's worldwide opening of "Doctor Strange," a Marvel movie.
Disney's previous record-setting year was 2015, with $5.84 billion in worldwide total gross ("Star Wars: The Force Awakens" played a big part in that).
But the industry record was set by Universal last year with $6.89 billion, thanks to hits like "Jurassic World" and "Furious 7."
When Warren Buffett started his investing career, he would read 600, 750, or 1,000 pages a day.
Even now, he still spends about 80% of his day reading.
"Look, my job is essentially just corralling more and more and more facts and information, and occasionally seeing whether that leads to some action," he once said in an interview.
"We don't read other people's opinions," he said. "We want to get the facts, and then think."
In 2020, the Japanese capital will host the Summer Olympics, and if you're getting deja vu that's because the Asian nation is once again shattering rail records.
The new Japanese maglev became the fastest train in the world after traveling at 374 miles per hour (603 kilometers per hour) on a test run near Mount Fuji last year, breaking its own world record of 366 miles per hour (590 km per hour), set the previous week.
Maglev trains -- already operating at slower speeds in Shanghai and Changsha, in China, and Incheon, in South Korea -- use magnetic repulsion both to levitate the train up from the ground, which reduces friction, and to propel it forward.
The chef and owner, Omar Alelam, opened his doors last year with the goal of merging molecular gastronomy with the flavors his Syrian-born grandmother taught him growing up in Ein Mahil, an Arab village near Nazareth.
“Arab food in the north was stuck with a stigma that it’s hummus, meat and salad,” Mr. Alelam told us after we worked our way through a bright, fire-roasted eggplant starter, an impossibly buttery lamb neck sous-vide for 72 hours, and a surprising crème brûlée in which tahini had been used in place of the traditional egg. “I know there’s more modern, innovative Palestinian food, and I wanted to be the one who brought it.”
Mr. Alelam, big and burly, is well known to Israeli foodies after appearing on the first season of the cooking competition “Game of Chefs.” Arab food in Israel is modernizing, he said, because the Arab community is modernizing, its once-insular towns and villages slowly expanding toward the Jewish-majority cities that surround them.
As for how to categorize his cuisine, however, Mr. Alelam had less to say. “I don’t involve politics with my food. It’s not Palestinian or Syrian, it’s modern Arab food,” he said. “It’s a problem for me, trying to define it, because it’s updated but still very old. I’m still debating with myself how to call it.”
THE MAN WHO KNEW The Life and Times of Alan Greenspan By Sebastian Mallaby Illustrated. 781 pp. Penguin Press. $40. In 1959, at the annual meeting of the American Statistical Association, a 33-year-old economist named Alan Greenspan argued that central banks should beware of letting financial markets get too comfortable. The Federal Reserve’s success in smoothing economic fluctuations in the 1920s, he said, had led to the dangerous belief that “the business cycle is dead.” The crash and depression that followed were “inevitable” consequences of that cavalier attitude toward risk. You may be familiar with two landmarks of Greenspan’s early years: He was a professional jazz musician and a disciple of the extreme-libertarian novelist/philosopher Ayn Rand. Greenspan’s stint as a clarinet and saxophone player in a second-tier swing band started when he was 18; his Rand infatuation began in his late 20s. It was Greenspan’s libertarianism that propelled him into politics, but his other attributes that made him successful at it. At Rand’s urging, he delivered a series of lectures in 1963 and 1964 on the “Economics of a Free Society,” inveighing against, among other things, “one of the historic disasters in American history, the creation of the Federal Reserve System.” http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/books/review/alan-greenspan-man-who-knew-sebastian-mallaby.html?ref=economy
It is certainly true that the last two mega-mergers involving Time Warner fell far short of their promise. After the 1989 marriage of Time Inc. and Warner Communications, for instance, it took seven years for investors to see any real gains in the combined companies’ stock.
But even that painful deal paled in comparison to the 2001 merger of AOL and Time Warner. That was the worst combination in corporate history, at least until 2008, when Bank of America bought Countrywide Financial, the toxic mortgage lender.
This time it’s different, contends Randall L. Stephenson, AT&T’s chairman and chief executive. He called the merger “a perfect match of two companies with complementary strengths who can bring a fresh approach to how the media and communications industry works for customers, content creators, distributors and advertisers.”
