This Is How McDonald's Plans To Take Over The World

War Room/  Kim Bhasin

McDonald's is booming, despite all the economic destruction going on around it.

It has been the second-best performing stock in the Dow in 2011. In Q3 it beat revenue and profit projections yet again, its stock is up 63% in the last three years and same store sales continued to climb for the 103rd month, reports Julie Jargon at the Wall Street Journal.

The success goes back further than that, too. Since 1980, McDonald's has absolutely blown away some of the biggest Dow blue chips around (like IBM, DIS, GE and XOM), notes Bespoke Investment Group.

Meanwhile, competitors like Burger King and Wendy's continue to try new things as they fight each other for the #2 spot, but they're still leagues behind. McDonald's just keeps dominating, and it now has upwards of 33,000 stores worldwide. Yet somehow it's still expanding, and in more ways than one.

So, how's McDonald's doing it? Its powerful brand and sheer size are two big, dependable advantages that it can always lean on.

But just being McDonald's isn't enough — it's doing a lot, domestically and globally, to stay ahead. Here are ten strategies that are keeping McDonald's barreling forward:

Mayans never predicted world to end in 2012: experts

PALENQUE, Mexico (Yahoo-news) - If you are worried the world will end next year based on the Mayan calendar, relax: the end of time is still far off.

So say Mayan experts who want to dispel any belief that the ancient Mayans predicted a world apocalypse next year.

The Mayan calendar marks the end of a 5,126 year old cycle around December 21, 2012, which should bring the return of Bolon Yokte, a Mayan god associated with war and creation.

Author Jose Arguelles called the date "the ending of time as we know it" in a 1987 book that spawned an army of Mayan theorists, whose speculations on a cataclysmic end abound online. But specialists meeting at this ancient Mayan city in southern Mexico say it merely marks the termination of one period of creation and the beginning of another.

"We have to be clear about this. There is no prophecy for 2012," said Erik Velasquez, an etchings specialist at the the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). "It's a marketing fallacy."

The National Institute of Anthropological History in Mexico has been trying to quell the barrage of forecasters predicting the apocalypse. "The West's messianic thinking has distorted the world view of ancient civilizations like the Mayans," the institute said in a statement. More >>

The World's Bottom Billion

NASA - 2012: Beginning of the End or Why the World Won't End?

Remember the Y2K scare? It came and went without much of a whimper because of adequate planning and analysis of the situation. Impressive movie special effects aside, Dec. 21, 2012, won't be the end of the world as we know. It will, however, be another winter solstice.

Much like Y2K, 2012 has been analyzed and the science of the end of the Earth thoroughly studied. Contrary to some of the common beliefs out there, the science behind the end of the world quickly unravels when pinned down to the 2012 timeline. Below, NASA Scientists answer several questions that we're frequently asked regarding 2012.

Question (Q): Are there any threats to the Earth in 2012? Many Internet websites say the world will end in December 2012.
Answer (A): Nothing bad will happen to the Earth in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.

Q: What is the origin of the prediction that the world will end in 2012?
A: The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012. Then these two fables were linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 -- hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012.

Q: Does the Mayan calendar end in December 2012?
A: Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then -- just as your calendar begins again on January 1 -- another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.

Q: Could phenomena occur where planets align in a way that impacts Earth?
A: There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades, Earth will not cross the galactic plane in 2012, and even if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be negligible. Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence.

"There apparently is a great deal of interest in celestial bodies, and their locations and trajectories at the end of the calendar year 2012. Now, I for one love a good book or movie as much as the next guy. But the stuff flying around through cyberspace, TV and the movies is not based on science. There is even a fake NASA news release out there..."
- Don Yeomans, NASA senior research scientist Q: Is there a planet or brown dwarf called Nibiru or Planet X or Eris that is approaching the Earth and threatening our planet with widespread destruction?
A: Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an Internet hoax. There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye. Obviously, it does not exist. Eris is real, but it is a dwarf planet similar to Pluto that will remain in the outer solar system; the closest it can come to Earth is about 4 billion miles.

If Vatican cardinals have yet to join the Occupy Wall Street protesters, a document released by the Holy See calling for a “world authority” to crack down on capitalism suggests some are considering it.

Nueva Lista Roja de Especies Amenazadas: Caballo de Przewalski

muyinteresante.es

El caballo de Przewalski (Equus ferus) es una historia de éxito, habiéndose mejorado su estado de En Peligro Crítico a En Peligro. Originalmente, había sido declarado como Extinto en Estado Silvestre en 1996, pero gracias a un programa de cría en cautividad y a un programa exitoso de reintroducción, la población salvaje se estima ahora en más de 300.

El rinoceronte negro de África se ha extinguido

muyinteresante.es

La última actualización de la Lista Roja de las Especies Amenazadas elaborada por la Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza (UICN) trae malas noticias: el rinoceronte negro de África occidental (Diceros bicornis longipes) ha sido declarado oficialmente extinto. El motivo: el exceso de caza para vender sus cuernos en el mercado negro. El rinoceronte negro se une así a la larga lista de criaturas, desde el tigre de Tasmania hasta la gacela arábiga o el ualabí de Grey, que no volverán a pisar nuestro planeta.

En la renovada Lista Roja también aparece como "posiblemente extinguido" otro rinoceronte, el rinoceronte blanco de África Central (Ceratotherium simum cottoni). Y los expertos advierten que el rinoceronte de Java (Rhinoceros sondaicus) podría seguir el mismo camino. “Tanto en el caso del rinoceronte negro occidental como del rinoceronte blanco del norte, la situación podría haber sido muy diferente de haberse aplicado las medidas de conservación sugeridas”, ha lamentado Simon Stuart, Presidente de la Comisión de Supervivencia de Especies de la UICN.

La organización también ha indicado que, pese a los programas de conservación, el 25% de los mamíferos se encuentra actualmente en peligro de extinción.

Los datos también arrojan buenas noticias, como que algunos esfuerzos de conservación ya han rendido fruto, incluido los realizados para proteger a la subespecie del rinoceronte blanco Ceratotherium simum simum, que ha pasado de una población de menos de 100 al final del siglo XIX, a una población salvaje estimada de más de 20.000. El caballo de Przewalski (Equus ferus) es otro caso de éxito que mejora su estado de “En Peligro Crítico” a “En Peligro”.

Con más de 61.000 especies examinada, la Lista Roja de la UICN se ha convertido en un verdadero “barómetro de la vida”, como lo apodaban renombrados expertos en la revista Science en 2010.

Director Kevin Macdonald and producer Ridley Scott team up to offer this candid snapshot of a single day on planet Earth.

Compiled from over 80,000 YouTube submissions by contributors in 192 countries, Life in a Day presents a microcosmic view of our daily experiences as a global society.

From the mundane to the profound, everything has its place as we spend 90 minutes gaining greater insight into the lives of people who may be more like us than we ever suspected, despite the fact that we’re separated by incredible distances.

Clips are not labeled with locations – some are nevertheless easy to figure out, but others leave few clues. Obviously this is intentional on Macdonald’s part, as you occasionally find yourself distracted by trying to figure out where the hell the various videos come from.

Revealed – the capitalist network that runs the world

The 1318 transnational corporations that form the core of the economy. Superconnected companies are red, very connected companies are yellow. The size of the dot represents revenue (Image: PLoS One)

 
by Andy Coghlan and Debora MacKenzie

AS PROTESTS against financial power sweep the world this week, science may have confirmed the protesters' worst fears. An analysis of the relationships between 43,000 transnational corporations has identified a relatively small group of companies, mainly banks, with disproportionate power over the global economy.

The study's assumptions have attracted some criticism, but complex systems analysts contacted by New Scientist say it is a unique effort to untangle control in the global economy. Pushing the analysis further, they say, could help to identify ways of making global capitalism more stable.

The idea that a few bankers control a large chunk of the global economy might not seem like news to New York's Occupy Wall Street movement and protesters elsewhere. But the study, by a trio of complex systems theorists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, is the first to go beyond ideology to empirically identify such a network of power. It combines the mathematics long used to model natural systems with comprehensive corporate data to map ownership among the world's transnational corporations (TNCs).

"Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it's conspiracy theories or free-market," says James Glattfelder. "Our analysis is reality-based."

Previous studies have found that a few TNCs own large chunks of the world's economy, but they included only a limited number of companies and omitted indirect ownerships, so could not say how this affected the global economy - whether it made it more or less stable, for instance.

The Zurich team can. From Orbis 2007, a database listing 37 million companies and investors worldwide, they pulled out all 43,060 TNCs and the share ownerships linking them. Then they constructed a model of which companies controlled others through shareholding networks, coupled with each company's operating revenues, to map the structure of economic power.

The work, to be published in PloS One, revealed a core of 1318 companies with interlocking ownerships (see image). Each of the 1318 had ties to two or more other companies, and on average they were connected to 20. What's more, although they represented 20 per cent of global operating revenues, the 1318 appeared to collectively own through their shares the majority of the world's large blue chip and manufacturing firms - the "real" economy - representing a further 60 per cent of global revenues.

When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much of it tracked back to a "super-entity" of 147 even more tightly knit companies - all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity - that controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network. "In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network," says Glattfelder. Most were financial institutions. The top 20 included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and The Goldman Sachs Group.

John Driffill of the University of London, a macroeconomics expert, says the value of the analysis is not just to see if a small number of people controls the global economy, but rather its insights into economic stability.

Concentration of power is not good or bad in itself, says the Zurich team, but the core's tight interconnections could be. As the world learned in 2008, such networks are unstable. "If one [company] suffers distress," says Glattfelder, "this propagates."

"It's disconcerting to see how connected things really are," agrees George Sugihara of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, a complex systems expert who has advised Deutsche Bank.

Yaneer Bar-Yam, head of the New England Complex Systems Institute (NECSI), warns that the analysis assumes ownership equates to control, which is not always true. Most company shares are held by fund managers who may or may not control what the companies they part-own actually do. The impact of this on the system's behaviour, he says, requires more analysis.

Crucially, by identifying the architecture of global economic power, the analysis could help make it more stable. By finding the vulnerable aspects of the system, economists can suggest measures to prevent future collapses spreading through the entire economy. Glattfelder says we may need global anti-trust rules, which now exist only at national level, to limit over-connection among TNCs. Bar-Yam says the analysis suggests one possible solution: firms should be taxed for excess interconnectivity to discourage this risk.

One thing won't chime with some of the protesters' claims: the super-entity is unlikely to be the intentional result of a conspiracy to rule the world. "Such structures are common in nature," says Sugihara.

Newcomers to any network connect preferentially to highly connected members. TNCs buy shares in each other for business reasons, not for world domination. If connectedness clusters, so does wealth, says Dan Braha of NECSI: in similar models, money flows towards the most highly connected members. The Zurich study, says Sugihara, "is strong evidence that simple rules governing TNCs give rise spontaneously to highly connected groups". Or as Braha puts it: "The Occupy Wall Street claim that 1 per cent of people have most of the wealth reflects a logical phase of the self-organising economy."

So, the super-entity may not result from conspiracy. The real question, says the Zurich team, is whether it can exert concerted political power. Driffill feels 147 is too many to sustain collusion. Braha suspects they will compete in the market but act together on common interests. Resisting changes to the network structure may be one such common interest.

Donor Unknown [Clip 3]

From their big toes, affection for animals, and, of course, their eyebrows, the offspring of Donor 150 were amazed to discover what they had in common both in their appearances and personalities, raising intriguing questions about our understanding of parenthood and the strange power of our genetic connections.

Donor Unknown is a uniquely 21st century story. The connections made between the children and their donor dad draw as much on modern technology as on old‐fashioned coincidence. While the siblings seem to take their ever-expanding family in stride, Jeffrey is more apprehensive about meeting some of his biological children for the first time. Donor Unknown raises intriguing questions about our understanding of parenthood, and the strange power of our genetic connections.

La gente en los Estados Unidos (y Europa) estan cada vez más enojados y las protestas van a ser mucho más temibles

NUEVA EUROPA- Nueva Eurabia

Ocupar el Muro de las protestas callejeras y el surgimiento del movimiento Tea Party han cambiado tanto a  los Estados Unidos, pero no he visto nada todavía. Es mejor ponerse el cinturón de seguridad, porque Estados Unidos  está muy enojado y  la economía continúa en declive mientras  las protestas van a ser mucho más alarmantes en los próximos años. Los estadounidenses se han vuelto muy acostumbrados a la prosperidad. Ahora que nuestra prosperidad está desapareciendo, la gente está empezando a enojarse mucho. Lo que asusta es que la gran mayoría de nuestra población vive en zonas urbanas fuertemente congestionadas. Eso hace que el potencial de disturbios de masas y el malestar social sea mucho mayor. En 1910, el 72 por ciento de los estadounidenses vivía en zonas rurales. Hoy en día, sólo el 16 por ciento de los estadounidenses viven en áreas rurales. Entonces, ¿qué sucede cuando usted tiene a millones de personas increíblemente enojadsa hacinados en las áreas metropolitanas fuertemente congestionadas? Bueno, estamos a punto de averiguarlo.

Durante los últimos 4 años, hemos visto algunas cosas sin precedentes ocurrir en Estados Unidos. En primer lugar, fue testigo del surgimiento del movimiento Tea Party. Al principio casi era un movimiento de base real, pero ahora se ha hecho cargo de la mayoría de los republicanos del stablishement . Ahora estamos presenciando el surgimiento de Ocupar Wall Street . Si bien hay algunos elementos de base a él, la realidad es que ocupar Wall Street parece estar más o menos controlado por los demócratas. De hecho, a un individuo se le dijo recientemente que “ los signos Ron Paul no son  bienvenidos aquí ”, en una reciente protesta.

Así que tenemos a la izquierda y la lucha contra la derecha con cada uno de los otros como gatos y perros . El movimiento del Tea Party y ocupar Wall Street casi tanto que se odian.

Mientras tanto, aquellos que controlan ambos partidos políticos están disfrutando de la vista.

Pero las personas que están expresando su ira a través de los movimientos de protesta como Ocupar Wall Street no van a estar contentos con el statu quo por mucho tiempo.

La verdad es que hay mucha ira en los Estados Unidos hoy, y que la ira está creciendo rápidamente. Millones y millones de estadounidenses están profundamente molestos por la economía y de nuestro sistema financiero.

En este momento, las protestas tanto por el movimiento del Tea Party y ocupar Wall Street han sido pacíficas.

Pero eso no durará indefinidamente.

De hecho, ya hay señales de que los ocupantes de Wall Street no se conforman con simplemente con estar sentados en el parque y el estruendo de los tambores.

Por ejemplo, los manifestantes irrumpieron en el edificio de oficinas Hart del Senado en Washington DC en la actualidad. Un puñado de manifestantes fueron arrestados.

Además, más de 50 manifestantes del movimiento Ocupar Boston fueron detenidos hoy por  que no hicieron  lo que la policía se les ordenaba hacer.

Pero más notable de todos fue la marcha de las casas de los millonarios en Nueva York. El día de hoy, ocupantes dec  la calle Wall  marcharon a la casa de Jamie Dimon, David Koch, John Paulson, Milstein Howard, y Rupert Murdoch.

Ni que decir tiene, que van a perturbar seriamente a algunas personas.

Las protestas en casa no fueron espontáneas. La verdad es que estaban muy organizadas. Los organizadores, como SEIU, miembro del consejo Stephen Lerner ha estado hablando acerca de ello desde hace bastante tiempo. De hecho, se le oye discutir los planes de las próximas protestas en las casas de los millonarios de nuevo  aquí .

Hay mucho sobre Ocupar Wall Street que puede ser criticado ( sólo echa un vistazo a este artículo ), pero una cosa que quienes ocupan Wall Street estan haciendo de la derecha como la que se centra en el papel del dinero en la política.

Los grandes poderes financieros gastan cientos de millones de dólares en campañas políticas. Sólo echa un vistazo a esta infografía . Todo ese dinero compra un montón de influencia sobre el proceso político. Si no, los poderes financieros grandes no iba a pasar esa cantidad de dinero.

Sin embargo, los poderes financieros grandes no son sólo han de gastar dinero en campañas políticas. Ahora ha salido que los grandes bancos de Wall Street de Nueva York puedn pedir policías de la ciudad al igual que  pizzas. De hecho, más de un millón de dólares se va a gastar este modo, sólo este año.

En un reciente artículo que fue publicado en counterpunch.org detalla cómo funciona esto ….

Uno de los ingeniosos métodos que ha mantenido por debajo de la atención pública fue iniciada por el gobierno de Rudy Giuliani en Nueva York en 1998. Se llama la Unidad de Detalle de pago y permite que el New York Stock Exchange y corporaciones de Wall Street, incluyendo aquellos repetidamente acusados ​​de delitos, puedan con la facilidad de marcar el deli de pastrami con pan de centeno.
Las empresas pagan un promedio de $ 37 por hora (sin gastos médicos, sin pensión, sin pago de horas extras) para un miembro de la policía de Nueva York, con la pistola, las esposas y la capacidad de detención. El oficial es indemnizado por el contribuyente, no por la corporación.
Nueva York recibe una cuota de 10 por ciento de administración en la parte superior de los $ 37 por hora que se paga a la policía. En la Ciudad el  presupuestodel  2011 pidió 1.184.000 dólares en honorarios de Detalle pagados, es decir, las empresas privadas estaban pagando los salarios de $ 11.8 millones a la policía que participan en la Unidad de Detalle . El programa se ha más que duplicado en los ingresos a la ciudad desde 2002.

Por lo que esperan los grandes bancos de Wall Street  el envío de los pedidos de grandes cantidades de New York City Cops para protegerlos de los enloquecidos  manifestantes de WallStreet.

Lamentablemente, si el número de la reciente encuesta es  una indicación, la ira del pueblo estadounidense no va a disminuir en el corto plazo ….

* De acuerdo con Gallup, el porcentaje de estadounidenses que carecen de confianza en los bancos de EE.UU. se encuentra ahora en un máximo histórico de 36% .

* Según un reciente informe del Washington Post-ABC News , el 90 por ciento de los estadounidenses cree que la economía está funcionando mal y aproximadamente el 80 por ciento de los estadounidenses cree que es “difícil” encontrar un trabajo en estos momentos.

* De acuerdo con una reciente encuesta de Rasmussen , el 48 por ciento de los estadounidenses creen que las reducciones en el gasto del gobierno son “por lo menos algo probable” que resulte en los disturbios civiles en Estados Unidos.

* Otro estudio reciente encontró que el 73 por ciento de los estadounidenses creen que el país está “en el camino equivocado”.

* De acuerdo con una reciente de CBS News / New York Times encuesta, el Congreso tiene un índice de desaprobación del 82% .

* Una reciente encuesta de Rasmussen encontró que el 85 por ciento de los estadounidenses cree que los miembros del Congreso “están más interesados ​​en ayudar a sus propias carreras profesionales que en ayudar a otras personas”, y que la misma encuesta encontró que 46 por ciento de los estadounidenses creen que la mayoría de los miembros del Congreso son corruptos.

* De acuerdo con una encuesta de Rasmussen diferente, sólo el 17 por cientode los estadounidenses creen ahora que el gobierno de EE.UU. tiene el consentimiento de los gobernados.

* Una reciente encuesta de The Washington Post encontró que el 78 por ciento de los estadounidenses no están satisfechos “con la forma del sistema político en que  este país está trabajando” y que sólo el 26 por ciento de los estadounidenses creen ahora que el gobierno federal puede resolver los problemas económicos que estamos enfrentando.

Entonces, ¿qué hace todo eso se suman a?

Se suma a una población de EE.UU. que está muy frustrada y que está buscando salidas para la frustración.

A medida que la economía de EE.UU. sigue cayendo  la frustración  va a seguir subiendo.

Lo que estamos viendo en todo Estados Unidos es sólo el comienzo. Vamos a ver los movimientos de protesta y las explosiones de ira que ni siquiera podemos imaginar en este momento.

Días oscuros están llegando a Estados Unidos.

Eslo  mejor püonerse  el cinturón de seguridad.

OBAMA ENDORSED #OWS (En Alemania la Canciller Democrata Cristiana de la RDA acaba de solidarizarse con los movimientos de protesta en Frankfurt y a ella la llaman Neocon)

Check out Denver, El Marco was there: Neo-Cannibals, Deadbeats, Dopers and Democrats Occupy Denver

Ever since Karl Marx defined his vision of the future, socialists have been awaiting the complete collapse of the world-wide free enterprise system, and the beginning of a cataclysmic international Marxist revolution. The Occupy Wall Street movement is supported by Communist Party USA, the Islamic Republic of Iran, communist dictators Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, as well as the AFL-CIO, SEIU, Nancy Pelosi, Bill Ayers, Barack Obama, and the Democrat Party.

The violent Jacobin tendency among socialists was evident in many of the signs carried at this march.


Neo-cannibals seemed to be everywhere.

Why some people don't want to join the mainstream? [Video]

Donor Unknown [Trailer]- PBS

JoEllen, now 20, has always known her family "wasn't like other families." She grew up in Pennsylvania with two mothers, and a burning curiosity to know more about her anonymous donor father. When JoEllen discovers a unique online registry that connects donor‐conceived children, she manages to track down a half‐sister in New York. The New York Times picks up the story, and, over time 12 more half‐siblings emerge across the United States.

By chance, the article also falls into the hands of Jeffrey Harrison, living alone with four dogs and a pigeon in a broken‐down RV in a Venice Beach parking lot. In the 1980s, Jeffrey had supplemented his meager income by donating sperm for cash at California cryobank. His donor number was 150.

Donor Unknown is a uniquely 21st century story. The connections made between the children and their donor dad draw as much on modern technology as on old‐fashioned coincidence. While the siblings seem to take their ever-expanding family in stride, Jeffrey is more apprehensive about meeting some of his biological children for the first time. Donor Unknown raises intriguing questions about our understanding of parenthood, and the strange power of our genetic connections.
