Getting Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Fortune-500s to Uninterruptedly Buy From You!

Getting Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Fortune-500s to Uninterruptedly Buy From You!
Amazon, Apple, Berkshire Hathaway Corporation, Mitsubishi Motors, Honda, Daimler-Chrysler’s Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Royal Dutch Shell Oil Company, Google, Xerox, Exxon-Mobil, Boeing, Amazon, Procter & Gamble, NASA and DARPA, Lockheed Martin, RAND Corporation and HUDSON Institute, Northrop Grumman Corporation, GEICO, Microsoft, etc.
FOREWORD:
You are going to need to prepare thyself breathtakingly. You will need a Brioni suit and a silk tie and understand, later on below this material, how to get lucky via Rampant Rocket Science.
FIRST. You fully study the corporation’s story and current culture and lexicon. You always study about their own problem-solving methodologies, proprietary or otherwise.
Bart and Homer on The Iliad!
TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE POINT BY BUZAN AND THE AUTHOR, EXCERPTED FROM THE WHITE SWAN BOOK, LET US CREATE A DIALOGUE SIMULACRUM BY BART SIMPSON AND HOMER SIMPSON.
Bart: Dad, why do you say knowledge is a soup?
Homer: Son, because since time immemorial and before the advent of the Industrial Revolution, every type of knowledge was somewhat related to the other type. Tony does some nice chatting about it.

British Supermarket to Power Itself Solely With Food Waste
Posted by Seb in category: energy
Brandon Baker — Nation of Change
It’s good to refrain from wasting energy, but it’s even better to procure energy from items that you otherwise would waste.
That’s the thinking behind the latest announcement from Sainsbury’s, the second largest chain of supermarkets in the United Kingdom. The chain’s Cannock location will soon be powered solely by the company’s own food waste. Waste management and recycling firm Biffa has partnered with the store to use its advanced anaerobic digestion (AD) facilities and a power link that allows the Cannock store to use the waste generated from Sainsbury’s other locations.

Alchemy vs Networks: The cure for ageing will come — but it will not be something physical
Posted by Marios Kyriazis in categories: biotech/medical, complex systems, evolution, life extension, transhumanism
Since ancient times people have been searching for the secret of immortality. Their quest has always been, without exception, about a physical item: a fountain, an elixir, an Alchemist’s remedy, a chalice, a pill, an injection of stem cells or a vial containing gene-repairing material. It has never been about an abstract concept.
Our inability to find a physical cure for ageing is explained by a simple fact: We cannot find it because it does not exist. It will never exist.
Those who believe that someday some guy is going to discover a pill or a remedy and give it to people so that we will all live forever are, regrettably, deluded.
I should highlight here that I refer to a cure for the ageing process in general, and not a cure for a specific medical disease. Biotechnology and other physical therapies are useful in alleviating many diseases and ailments, but these therapies will not be the answer to the basic biological process of ageing.

Currents and Undercurrents?
I was reading The Economist and a notion came to my mind.
We have all have heard the Chinese adage,
“… Don’t look at the waves but the currents underneath …”
