AT&T... (IIPM-News)

Amusingly, now the same AT&T is expected to oppose the merger tooth & nail, as it would suffer a huge loss in negotiating power, while undertaking business contracts with the much stronger entity. But then the industrial world has always run on the saying, “Do unto mothers, as mothers do unto you!”... Well, hasn’t it son?

Ma‘lazy’ian Airlines – Truly Asia?

MAS must drive operational excellence rather than merely cut costs
An ailing sector, groaning companies & petrified employees are routine in the aviation business today. Malaysian Airlines (MAS) seems no different. After a third consecutive loss-making quarter ending December 31, 2005 (loss of $342 million), a resurgence plan for MAS was heralded on March 27, 2006, which aims at cutting costs with 6,500 job cuts & withdrawal from 96 domestic routes.

The Lower Garden District

Research and publication, IIPM-Knowledge Centre

As for the hundreds of thousands of residents whose low-lying homes and housing projects were destroyed by the flood, Drennen says the city now has an opportunity for “21st-century thinking”. Rather than rebuild ghettos, New Orleans should be resettled with “mixed income” housing, with rich and poor, black and white living side by side. What Drennen doesn’t say is that this kind of urban integration could happen tomorrow, on a massive scale. Roughly 70,000 of New Orleans’ poorest homeless evacuees could move back to the city, alongside returning white home-owners, without a single new structure being built. Take the Lower Garden District, where Drennen himself lives. It has a surprisingly high vacancy rate – 17.4 percent, according to the 2000 census. At that time 702 housing units stood vacant, and since the market hasn’t improved and the district was barely flooded, many are presumably still there and still vacant. It’s much the same in the other dry areas: The French Quarter has been half-empty for years, with a vacancy rate of 37 percent. The citywide numbers are staggering. In the areas that sustained only minor damages and are on the mayor’s re-population list, there are at least 11,600 empty apartments and houses. If Jefferson Parish is included, that number soars to 23,270. With three people in each unit, that means homes could be found for roughly 70,000 evacuees. With the number of permanently homeless city residents estimated at 200,000, that’s a significant dent in the housing crisis. And it’s doable…

A Mathematical Theory of communication (IIPM-Press Article)

A good dictionary will trace the word back to the Latin verb informar, which means “to give form to.” Some reflection is required to see the similarity between its etymology and defining information as “that which reduces uncertainty” as did the late Claude Shannon, whose work “A Mathematical Theory of Communication” provides the foundation for information theory, as well as, a quantitative measure of information.

European Politicians(IIPM Article)

European politicians also need to pay more attention to the pressing problems of social acceptance that minorities face regularly. Political turmoil of this kind can end only when minorities are integrated without biases and prejudices in the society. It is not for winning street wars that these minorities fight; but for “respect.”
