According to the building plans, the tower will rise to 1776 feet. However, it reaches that point only with the help of its uninhabited "needle" part, on top. Absent that, it's less than 1400 feet. Therefore, Chicago's Sears Tower will still take the prize for the largest inhabited building, if you include only the inhabited portion.But even the Sears Tower won't hold that honor for long. Standing over it in the same city will be the Chicago Spire, which should be completed in a co...

With today's falling dollar it seems that America is losing the trade war. Is that a conspiracy? Heck yes! It's a conspiracy of crippled bureaucrats forcing the nation to use the ancient measurement system ascending from the days of the British Empire.How many pounds-per-square-inches are there in a typical 2-litre car engine? Why pay in dollars-per-gallon and not using the more logical dollars-per-liter or shillings-per-gallon?The biggest problem with imperial system is its la...

"If anything is constant, it is change."
- Bryce's LawsAs I have written in the past, Americans are great reactionaries. There are numerous examples to illustrate the point including Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina just to mention a few. But in all three of these examples, warnings were issued well in advance which were disregarded and written off as nothing but the rantings of alarmists. The advice of respected futurists is rarely heeded in spite of the supporting f...

Actor Brad Renfro's fatal overdose is a sad reminder that heroin use can lead to devastating consequences. It's an even sadder reminder that no matter how much money and resources are pumped into drug education programs, the message still doesn't get out. It's not like this is a new phenomenon.Renfro, who died on January 15, was only 25. Most young users seek the "rush" that the drug gives. People who use heroin regularly develop a tolerance to it and that leads to abuse. Abusers need...

The tall Burj Dubai stood proud and unaffected by the dooms that fell upon the people walking by it. Reflecting glamour and prestige awed by the middle class and bought by the rich. The model city illustrated poetry and masterpieces of undefined art work, where everything seemed like a movie set. Watching people gamble the rates with buyers and sellers, I stood stunned as million dirham's were bartered as if exchanging a piece of chocolate. Standing besides only those who wore Versace and Lo...

Television sets and weight lifting gyms keep inmates busy and seldom are there any complaints. Most inmates meet others who come from similar backgrounds and share common interests. There are very few cases of documented depression. This fact alone shows how well adapted inmates are to the prison environment. Prison riots are caused by battles between gangs that want contr...

Helping unfortunate strangers is a virtue seldom practiced. Most people rely on the government or private agencies to help those in need. But for every dollar that is supposed to go to the needy only ten cents gets there, the rest is spent on administrative costs. Some executive workings for charities have incomes of over a million dollars a year. They have little concern for others. Human greed and corruption is only partially the blame.
Fund raising is not easy. It takes talent to get peo...
