Inside a parking lot in malaga, i found this machine that you place one euro and then blow inside using a straw. I guess it analyses the alcohol in your breath. If your alcohol level is high, your car gets locked by the tires and the machine automatically calls the cops to come and pay you a visit, NOT really:P but think about it, your drunk as hell and then u see this machine, i guess you would laugh like crazy, then what you just sit and wait it out?

Man its the worst budget airline i flown with, am a short guy and when sat in there seats i felt cramped, its was so tight that if i opened the food tray my lower lips would be the support for it:p

I flown to Barcelona from Orly airport in Paris, a small info about this airport is that in the 1980 i think, a terrorist fired a bazoka on an Isreali plane, and he missed and hit another plane because of the recoil, maybe he drank something other than ZamZam cola:P.

Check out the ads vueling has on its seats, and the other pic is for customers to know there rights because of these budgets airlines and how they dont offload there customers when some mechanical problem occurs and they stay hours in the closed and tight seats.

Im dissapointed with the paris airshow, i cant belive that the Dubai 2009 one is much more exciting than the Paris one. Ive been to the Dubai air show in 2009. I thought that the Paris air show will be amazing and offers much more than the Dubai one, on the contrary the Paris air show is dull with boring planes and the air show sucked. You cant even enter one plane to see inside it, where in Dubai i even sat in cockpits and tested the electronics.

When I first saw the banner, I thought maybe it’s a new product or new newspaper that everybody is waiting for. Then when I noticed that the word concord is written on the boarder of the bill board and in the banner (ad) I thought to my self how dumb would someone think that people are waiting for the new billboard design (concord). Imagine the decision maker that said lets put a banner within the new billboard frames and say “it arrived”. What do consumers care if the billboard looked different in any way.
Please someone tell me that “it arrived” above is not what it means.

Today I watched documentary talking about business and economy in basic simple language and that’s the most important thing in documentaries, I believe the best efficiently MSG is the one we get it without any extra boring explanation.

We all need money and spend our time, health and more running after it and every one have his own reasons for example I want money to Buy Fancy cars to Attract girls ;r anyways money became purpose in our life not a method to make it better so we should at least know more about creating that expensive piece of paper. I’m gonna make it simple so don’t worry readers who hates economic language- derivative :P ” In a world that 34,000 children die every single day from poverty “Thanks god we have Oil” wela chan ma7ad fakar eysawy rejeem” and preventable diseases, in a world 50% of population lives on less than two dollars a day let us see how hard creating money is, well if united state government for example decides that it needs some money it give the federal reserve “US Central Bank” a call and request the amount “say 20 Billions” the federal reserve reply sure we will buy 20 Billions in government bonds for you and then the government takes some pieces of papers put special design on them and call them treasury bonds then they put value on this bonds to the sum of 20 Billions and sends them over to the federal reserve to make the trade :

” Government ==Bonds==> Federal reserve” ” Fed ==20 Billions==> Government Bank Account”

at this point paper notes become legally money that’s mean adding 20 billions to the US Money Supply and there it is 20 Billions New Money Have been created.

In another way the government signed loan contract with the federal reserve “Central Bank” in other word the money created out of debt . hehehe :)

My article ends here but I’ll give you more as a bonus only if you really want to know how world largest economy money supply expand :

When 20 B deposit in U.S government bank account it will become part of the bank reserve and 10% of the amount ” which is 2 Billions” will be held as required reserve and the 90% of the amount “18 Billions” gonna be Excessive reserve and will be used as bases for new loans so what they do when they make loans is to accept promissory notes “Loan contract” in exchange for credits “Money” to the borrowers transaction accounts. In other word we will always create money out of nothing simply because there is a loan demand and there is deposits that satisfy the reserve requirement .

Technically the average mathematical result is 180 Billions Dollars can be created from 20 Billions in other word 9 × Any Deposit amount can be created out of thin air and that’s because of our perfect deposit money creation/loan cycle System ;O

the question is what give the newly created money value ? Answer : the money that already exist, the new money steal value from the existing money supply and decrease the purchasing power of dollar then price of goods and services rise “that’s what we call Inflation” . Our system cause Inflation, $1 IN 1913 Required $21.60 IN 2007 to match value !! hehehe ;] that’s 96% Devaluation in 94 years since the federal reserve came into existence .
in our financial system money is debt and debt is money .

The story behind the title : show me the money is a cheat word for an old strategy game I used to play it and when I write show me the money in the game I get a lot of money out of nothing! but I couldn’t imagine that some one can use it in real life !! ;)

PS : The more I know about business and economy the more I care about health and happiness .

 A friend sent me the address below: Zaingreatidea.com. I was excited when I saw it first but then kept on reading and found out that this “great campaign” provides nothing beneficial.

Let me explain, if Kuwait Small Projects Company is a sponsor then they sure are providing the funding and all due diligence that comes with it to make sure the project presented is feasible. So why apply on Zaingreatidea.com just go to Kuwait Small Projects Company directly? But no! Zain the largest telecom operator in the GCC region and North Africa will provide a one year cubicle rental space! and professional advice too. The other thing that people don’t know is that the due diligence at Kuwait Small Projects Company cost 5000KD which you have to pay as an entrepreneur. Is Zain gona pay this? That’s a huge sum even though you have to pay the 15% of the newly established company you want to setup. We need more info about this campaign, its unclear!

 

I always try to analyze stuff, like why business fail, or new trends emerge and i surely find an answer, but! with the mini’s I cant.

Why is anything resized in a smaller way nice! I cant stop thinking about it and could not find anything, I know some will say because its cute, but cute to me sells for a couple of days then people should get used to the cute thing.

Anyways I have met Abdulla Al Khanji the owner of Mini Delights, a very enthusiastic and smart fellow. Knows nothing about food before he started out, but truly passionate. He is like these 6 million sold books around the world kinda thing, which makes you wana quit your job and open a business strait away from his stories. I think Abdulla was a major mini introducer to Kuwait, after the success of Mini Delights.

Anyways now the mini craze is everywhere, and to be honest it’s not Kuwait only, many restaurants abroad use this mini approach.

I like how a big dull company like Khazan meat has moved fast and made their own mini sliders, that’s a good move from such large company who produce the same thing in and out daily.  

I have no real preference when buying juice to drink in the mornings but there is one thing i noticed, the Juice Content. So i will ask you this: KDD pineapple juice advertises on the pack that its 100% juice which sounds nice especially when you pay 150 fils for it. But hold on a second, the other KDD juices do not advertise anything else on the pack? Cranberry KDD juice sez on the side of the pack that its juice content is “min 12%” !!?? so it seems they assure us that it has 12% juice but what about the rest 88% (water akeed). So how about we be fair and pay only 12% of the 150 fils which is 18 fils to be exact!

Many of KDD juices do not provide 100% juice in there contents and I’m just pointing out this because next time when you buy juice for your self, look for the percentage of juice content.

Okay so i can see where this is heading now, its the new Kuwaiti CRAZE! frozen yogurt every where! You got: Home berry, Pink berry, Yogen Fruz, Zero degrees, Cherriez and i know about another 3 more. This is an indicator to not enter the market, they are everywhere! With such perishable items and no barriers to entry market, the only winning model is to open in a heavy traffic place, avenue mall, 360 mall etc etc  that’s fine, if you have the capital to with stand rents and stay afloat. This is a very fast copy cat business where everybody could start, think of a business where its hard to copy and serves a niche market.  I once saw yogurt place in Gallaria 2000 mall, the place was so quite you can hear my mom hitting me with her slippers about the Wataniya deal i got her all the way from our home:p. Yes it may be cheap to produce and a high profit margin is associated with yogurt, but investing huge amounts especially that some are franchises require a lot of cash to maintain standards and expansion plans, my advice think of something else to start. How about a yogurt home delivery, opppps we got that too:p. Hmmmm how about  cup cakes infused with yogurt!!

After all that talk about yogurt, i feel like getting a pink berry original now:(

Im in love with the airlines industry and in flight itself, and the budget airline model even more. You can see thats why i made my mom invest in a loosing business: Wataniya airlines:P. The Wataniya management are so fickle, they seem not to know what to do, one day they wana fire employees the other no they wana increase capital, very unstable management decisions. I’ll tell you a story, when Wataniya just started out, i got the email of the CEO and sent him some advice. I told him that he should put on the menu of the on-board food the source of the chicken and meat they serve. I did so because some shiite only eat from specific suppliers, i know this because am a shiite but am not religious in any way and eat everything even our friend piglet j/k, but the idea was when a minority notices that you care about them they become very loyal. Peugeot car company does this with gays they purposely advertise to the gay community, and they became where loyal to the brand. Anyways so then he sent me an email and thanked me only, i was hoping he would say what do you want as a gift for this piece of advice: i would have said that i would like to ride in the cockpit of the plane and see a full landing and take off, anyways it did not happen:(

Im visiting the Paris Air show in the summer (freak! ya i know:p) and i bought some domestic flight tickets in Europe, so i purchased my tickets from Vueling Airlines. Its a Spanish budget airline (doing well), but these guys are the true budget airlines. See how they take every penny you got! The ticket is cheap at the beginning 22 euros, 8KD then it starts to build up: if you want your boarding pass detail by sms you pay 1 euro, if you want the front seats of the plane you pay 5 euros, if you want exit row seats you pay 10 euros (these are wider seats) then after i got raped with hidden fees, the payment page come up. (Circus drums beating:P)……………….. then they asked for 9 euros for me to pay using my credit card! can you believe that even with paying them i had to pay! that does not even make sense. So then my ticket became 55 euros in total but still cheap over all. So now i print the boarding passes (free) and i noticed that there is more than one copy of the boarding pass, i thought the printer maybe went haywire, but noooo they made me print two copies because one is the “Customer copy” the other is the “Airline copy” , the bastards used my printer to print their copy!! and that’s a true budget airline. They even stated on there site that if you use the bathroom, you pay 5 euros and when you flush you pay 2 euros, J/k.
