Here is a link to the memorial mass of one of my favorite Economist, Paul Samuelson who actually went on to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics. He taught at MIT until his demise. The video is his memorial service at MIT.

I hope you watch and learn something and hopefully grab one of his wonderful books on economics for yourself.

President Obama's State of the Union Speech 2015
For some reasons I am always looking forward the President's Annual State of the Union Address also abbreviated most of the times as SOTU. In this speech the President get to reflect a lot about all the things that went well, and didn't go well in the past year and then make new proposals he intend to work with Congress to bring to light. It does coveres everthing from the economy, healthcare, wars, education, foreign policies, homeland security etc. The speech usually last for about or a little over an hour mostly because of the applause and standing ovations during the speech.
I wasn't in good spirit last night but I made sure I was on time on my TV at 9pm to watch the speech but something interesting happened for the first time ever. The entire speech the President prepared and was about to deliver to the American people and the whole world was up and running on the Washington Post website.

I was hoping that it wasn't true but lo and behold as the President began his speech I watched for it word for word as he delivers. So I was wondering where that was from and why?
Any way a country like America is dynamic and operates on an entirely different scale all together. It could be something new or something up for a test who knows?.
It was clear in the speech that the President got few agendas in the pipeline coming and will work with Congress to execute them. He made it clear that he has no more campaigns which of course was true unless somebody change the 200 year old rules in the middle of the game. That will be "aluta".
By and large I enjoyed and learned a couple of things last night. No country on earth understands the true meaning and pragmatic nature of democracy at work than the United States and that is why I admire the system regardless of all its flaws.
God bless!

Feeling generous in 2015 and wants to do good for yourself and others?
Please help us help others.
It amazes me how much I receive in return when I devote my time, talent, and resources for the good of others. If you have never experienced what that feels like, then you are truly missing something special in this life. Please give, and you will be overwhelmed by how much you receive in return. The Bible says it clearly — it is in giving that we receive. I hold that truth wholeheartedly.
This project was launched to raise funds to help provide clean water for a struggling population in Dazuuri, located in the Upper West Region of Ghana.
Unfortunately, fundraising efforts have not gone as well as hoped. That is why we are reaching out to you, to invite you to be part of this exciting, life changing experience.
Be a part of it. Why not? We need you, and the people in that community need you too.
Here is the link. It is simple and easy to follow. Thank you:

May God bless you and multiply your generous donation fourfold.
Sincerely,
Pal Ron
