China is not only highly mobile telephony capable (and i.t literate too), its engineers are pretty clever also.
“A genuine strategic air power must possess a strong power projection capability. To have air capability on that level is highly reliant on large aircraft, namely a strategic air freighter and a strategic bomber,” said Wang Yanan, deputy editor in chief at Aerospace Knowledge magazine and a military analyst, in a China Daily report.
China successfully made and flew the Kunpen (the Y-20) jumbo air freighter. Other large air freighters already flying include the Russian-built Ilyushin Il-76, the U.S.-made Boeing C-17 Globemaster III and, largest of them all, the Ukrainian Antonov An-225. The four-engine Yun-20, or Transport-20, is a huge, multi-function airfreighter that can perform various long distance air transport tasks targeting cargo and passengers, the state-run Xinhua News Agency said.”
–so clever.
I.T literate China with super fast internet capability also announced: China’s mobile phone users reach 1.11 billion.
innovate can mean: make changes in something established, esp. by introducing new methods, ideas, or products. introduce something new, esp. a product.

2. In Icehouse, Andy seeks to offer business incubation, training, start up programmes, and angel investment to help ideas people get on the board in business.
3. In theory, Andy and his team seek to be alchemists or coaches to potential alchemists. They claim to add the right components into an aspiring entrepreneurs mix and turn good ideas into gold.
4. Andy has been working at it for ten years now. (more…)
It follows the line of thought that something’s are just too good, to be known about. The current powers-that-be suppress new ideas, so as to maintain a monopoly on business flows, with their old ideas. (more…)
TPP negotiating nations in the mix for New Zealand to trade with are Singapore, Australia, Mexico, Brunei, Chile, Peru, Vietnam, Malaysia and the United States. Thailand wants buy in. Japan could too.
At the same time, New Zealand is currently juggling the Regional Economic Cooperation Partnership trade deal too. The Association of South-East Asian Nations and China are in the mix of that deal. The US isn’t in on that one.
The TPP is seen as “high quality.” It limits exclusions of trade between nations. Some political parties in NZ oppose the TPP. (more…)
A crop that has no weaknesses, a community dedicating themselves to a mastery of kindness. If just leadership is a contest of ideas, it needs well-armed champions. Community development is not something you do to people, it is something you do with them. (more…)
What the study found is that franchising Kiwi ideas are worth $20b to the New Zealand economy p.a. The study found that 22,400 franchisee businesses operating in the country are employing 101,800. Even more remarkable is that 90% are homegrown franchise brands.
Good buzz words for South Pacific peoples to work towards are:
New Zealand’s next wave of twenty-something millionaires.
If our economy is to do better, new waves of young millionaires in New Zealand (home grown) should be commonplace. Their presence a healthy sign of a normal society of innovative people.
What could be needed to cause a new wave of Kiwis taking the reigns of business culture – are:
1. Business schools that teach ideas and concepts-building, so youth can evolve entrepreneurial thinking quicker.
2. Business mentors discipling and instillling sound business acumen.
3. Practical workshops to evolve an idea from concept stage through to samples stage. (more…)
Collaborative brain mapping competency play time, can help bring out the entrepreneur side of the creative process.
Bold ideas are often a collaborative effort of a team of peoples good efforts. Ideas mixology, fusion and plenty of weirdness when thinking more like an entrepreneur, is something to keep at on a daily basis. Creative flow is healthy evidence of a dream in constant motion.
The “entrepreneurs” section of Horiwoodblog is one of the most consistently read sections of the website. Here’s a rough sketch example of brain school mapping play. (more…)
Endeavor named after James Cook, an early Brit explorer had a few fans turn out to see the space craft on its final joy ride in Los Angeles. Pictures of the space shuttle’s detail: CNN. I like the mosaic tiling pic.
The word endeavor can mean:
1. A conscientious or concerted effort toward an end; an earnest attempt.
2. Purposeful or industrious activity; enterprise.
3. To work with a set or specified goal or purpose. (more…)

Developing a sustainable film industry in New Zealand really comes down to investing in New Zealand writers more and fostering relationships with the world’s best screenwriters too. It is vital that New Zealand encourages writers, as writers become the billionaires after all the effort has gone into producing successful film franchises. We need some Maori billionaires in New Zealand. Maybe some could write their way into the history books invisaging a cinematic light to project the new way.
We must write films from New Zealand, as if we don’t other people’s written ideas of the South Pacific, will be written about our territory. So, it makes sense to always be writing our own version of the world and attaching our definitions and meanings of landscape of the South Pacific to our own words and ideas in our films. We can write futuristic films, yet the messages in them attached to our landscapes have a resonance all over the world for the good.
We have the locations and enough filmmaking capability now in New Zealand. We just need better scripts, film franchise ideas created in New Zealand and a belief in fast tracking screen-writers to a global level of writing ability. Film crews travel (actors included) to where whoever has the best ideas - to collaborate on – film projects of significance.
New Zealand is soon to become that place even more so, then we have been already on some major film projects.
So what kinds of writers could happen in New Zealand? As a precursor to Mitt Romney‘s rise in politics as a star figure for the US, novelist Stephenie Meyer was a Mormon housewife of Arizona, who mimicked the UK’s JK Rowlings star template as a novelist.
Meyer’s story as a humble writer is one of a stand out success for relativiely new billionaires. Meyer’s novel ideas, even created a brand new studio to make her novels into films. It was then aquired by Lionsgate to import a strong youth audience following into Lionsgate’s entertainment brand.
The young actors cast in Meyer’s films now lead California’s box office (Kristen Stewart being one). JK of course, mimicked Brit authors like C.S Lewis and JRR Tolkien to find her own voice as a single parent writer. Magic was JK’s theme of children learning at school. Meyer’s was a voice of fantasy, romance, angst – youth under threat. Meyer’s creative literary bent, was a huge hit.
What this tells us: Perhaps we need to invest in single parents and-or Kiwi housewives more. (more…)
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot of bold ideas. This has made me want to study the depths of words more.
bold means:
1. a: fearless before danger : intrepid.
b: possessing a daring spirit
2: impudent, presumptuous
3: obsolete: assured, confident
4: sheer, steep – bold cliffs
5: adventurous, free -a bold thinker
6: standing out prominently
ideas:
an idea is a concept or impression
the capacity to create ideas and understand the meaning of ideas is a defining characteristic of shared human experiences.
an idea is a blueprint, a map of a concept or a series of interconnecting concepts
an idea is a container, containing the essence of something important.
–bold ideas … I like that sentiment today.

Because science, innovation, education are New Zealand peoples spirit - of our strong outrigger canoe culture of navigatable adventurous and creative discoveries into new horizons of destiny and change too:
In investing R&D capital into our future innovative inventors of sustainability and peace news:
In my mind I see, children all throughout the South Pacific, even up to the Marshall Islands into even the island of Guam, maybe Vietnam too. They each have a laptop and tablet each. On the internet they are taught curriculum subjects from New Zealand.
Their learning is accelerated and a generation of Polynesian (and Asian?) children arise, supported by their New Zealand friends nearby and afar, to allow the potential of Polynesia’s youth to be all they will be, for the gifts in their lives the world will need to be stronger, smarter, more creative – in the years to come. If we all do this for them that’s so going to happen.
This is the burden that sits very strongly on me today. I really want to see our groovy and unique white, Pakeha New Zealanders do it, just to teach the world what cool New Zealand citizens look like as architects of the world – and to push back the powers of greed, on our Island dwelling Polynesian friends.
Although we admire the braun of Polynesian peoples natural dna (Jonah Lomu storms to mind) - it is their Peaceful spirit (most days), their respect for their elderly, their creativity so rich yet largely untapped, their spiritual gifts, the notable and noble warmth of heart, a trusting innocence in the good of the wider world and their unique thoughts that dwell within their minds; that we will need to see more of in the world, twenty years out from this point. We need to invest more in it.
