PUSSYWILLOWS CATTAILS LYRICS
BY : KENNY RANKIN

"Pussywillows cattails soft wind and roses
Rainpools in the woodland water to my knees
Shivering quivering the warm breath of spring
Pussywillows cattails soft winds and roses

Catbirds and cornfields daydreams together
Riding on the roadside the dust gets in your eyes
Reveling disheveling the summer night can bring
Pussywillows cattails soft winds and roses

Slanted rays and colored days stark blue horizons
Naked limbs and wheat bins hazy afternoons
Voicing rejoicing the wine cups to bring
Pussywillows cattails soft winds and roses

Hars nights and candlelights wood fires a-blazin
Soft lips and fingertips resting in my soul
Treasuring remembering the promise of spring
Pussywillows cattails soft winds and roses
And roses
And the soft winds"

BIG DATA , CLOUDS COMPUTING AND THE FOREIGN CURRENCY MARKET REVALUATION INTROSPECTION:

Big Data, Data Scientist , Clouds Computing the new heavy weights terminologies I've got and learned from the clouds computing summit , organized and sponsored by IPC ( CEO-Rene Huelgas ),held at Makati Shangri-la hotel, Philippines.

In the fully interconnected, digitalized world that we live in today, Big Data is currency (storage of value). And if Bid data venture capital ( equity) is to be measured by currency what form that the Philippines should preferred , the US Dollar ?, now considered the king of all currency. China Renminbi ( Yuan) , now the fast becoming global currency next to US Dollar. Or Japanese Yen now considered the 3rd largest denominated use currency in the World. Or Euro C, the single currency of 28 European countries ,or the Philippine would stick forever on its affection to the most revered Peso (Peseta ) named after the worldwide famed exotic fruits, a major global exports in the golden era of European expansionist and colonization.

The pertinent treat of political and economic security embroiled by the current tension of South China Sea ( West Philippine Sea ) in the Asian Region due to the overlapping claimed by the countries like Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and the China's continued excursion , reclaiming and developing Spartly's Islands into a concrete ( might be a military base)would be a major consideration in engaging Philippines IT infrastructure .

"Hooking the Philippines into the clouds ", is a major decisions for strategic thinkers considering its " national patrimony and national security", to quote Mr. Andrew Perez , one of the speakers for the one day Clouds Computing Summit, and his repeat intimate lecture and workshop hosted by Microsoft Philippines.

The given major scenario , would be the most important topic to discuss and probably now the major issues echoing in the very boar room of each government national strategic thinkers, transcending even the very board room of each private corporate world. It is a must to discuss because of its implications in the national security risks , a national and universal concerns , securing the private local and international assets , lives and resources .

Its imperative to say , that the wave of concerns is now rappling through the constant exchanges of cyber threat , cyber espionage , cyber war that in case to case bases would happen in the actual exchanges of fire . This would tantamount to a holocaust casualties in properties and lives . Just recently the show of force of between China Yuan currency versus the US Dollar currency brought havoc in the capital markets exchanges .Because today's war would probably not be ventured into the physical bombardment of machine gun ,but on the strategic move of currency manipulation we called big data, cyber currency war", changing the very landscape of our political and economic landscape.

Compounding the ill effect of this big data cyber currency war of the market exchanges of the market base economy of each nation , one can expect the tremendous foreign currency market revaluation.

Foreign Market currency revaluation is a net major effect of the exchanges in terms of market per share valuation of the local currency ,benchmarking it to todays global king of currency the US Dollar .

The proper treatment of foreign currency market valuation , is either a deduction or addition in the accumulated retained earnings as reflected in the very income statement ( financial statements) of the country or corporation.

The net effect of to add or deduct depends of the strength of the local currency towards the world currency of US Dollar. It will always be good if the net effect is favorable to the nation ( positive revaluation) or corporation and it will always be a sad and sorry state if the net effect is unfavorable to the nation or corporation ( negative revaluation).

The destructive effect of this foreign currency revaluation in the books ( income statement) if the later is so material , that it could even wipe out the whole equity based of the company. Hence affecting over all image , capacity , stature and ultimately down grading , country's or corporation credit rating.

For the winner , posting the positive currency revaluation would mean a positive bottom line in the income statement . Upgrading its credit ratings that means a higher prospect for a corporate loanable amount for a major capital lenders like the banks , venture capitalist and in the capital markets.

 "A DIVE INTO THE SOUTH EAST ASIAN SPORTS ECONOMY"

" EXPERT VIEW ON THE STATE OF THE SOUTH EAST ASIAN SPORTS ECONOMY WHERE THE GROWTH IS COMING FROM"

Recapitulating for over all essential points discuss today in "the business of sports " conference for South East Asian sports industry Mr. Eric Gottschalk, CEO of MMC Sportz , summarizes:

 Staying to be relevant in the fast pacing digitalized economy of sports one must be globally in perspective but be grounded with local phenomenal happening, thus he reiterated given with the upcoming awareness of the potential of sports to promote the over all country's  economic agenda one must be predisposes with the urgent need to come up with innovative , creative solutions. The culture of sports to advance the national competitive spirit , showcasing innate assertiveness , dominance in strength sugar coated in subtle muscle vexation is perfect platform where countries despite of incoherent discord meet eye to eye and comes to in to terms of friendship endeavor . Thus the strength of economic hegemony would not be a deterrent for one country not join the vagabond of creative masquerade of showing the arts of sports diplomacy. The people of the world should be thankful for creation of the sports competition like "world olympic games", " asian games", "summer olympic games', "winter olympic games" for with out the lives of the sports man , would never be the same as it is today. The games of sports provided our greatest athletes to hone and showcased their respective toned arrogance , abundant energy of superiority hence giving them the moment to shine even in a single day of their lives. In the very hour of the glorious day of the games competition , one must keep in mind that " all roads are coming into rome", cited by the RSports Director : Technology Product Strategy , Client Services and co conceptualizer of "New York Fusion Soccer Club under 10 and older".

To add, Mr. Eric Gottschalk, CEO of MMC Sportz  highlighted for the countries in the Asia there is no better way than to unite and collaborate for  strong a signal of energy and force reckoning the might force of the CHINA. The China given with its vast wealth of human resources producing competitive athletes , winningest , young and abled budgeted with over a 600 million USDollar by its government is immeasurably in advantage with its neighboring South East Asian countries like the Philippines. Better disposition not to be complacent with its impertinent failures combine with a strong spirits of sports and positive out look the region of Asian is statistically abled to be garnering medals in  6 given respective combine sports discipline . Its been noted that during the conference , Atty. Jolly R. Gomez, and Mr. Ricardo Garcia of Philippine Sports Commission , COMMISSIONER AND CHAIRMAN , respectively the role they have been handling is a gigantic to think with. The Philippine annual budget for the Philippine Sports program ,clocking to 4 million US Dollar , makes the Philippine athletes contingent, to be  hunger always for good times of winning moment. The spirit of sportsmanship that keeps them moving , stand proud despite of minute scale of the total budget alloted to them.Its worth mentioning the Philippine private sector role in the Philippine sports development , providing excellent sports infrastructure , sponsorship for sending athletes to world class gaming events, even hiring foreign experts coaches. The Philippine Sports commission soft program and human apparatus managing the agencies and its dynastic tendencies crippled the very essence of the Philippine Sports to move to what it is supposed to be reaching.

In the conference today, the topic of advertorial and sponsorship provided a key role in the advancement of the sports development for every country. Over all in the global perspective , its been observed that traditional advertising through the plasm of Television which captured 40 % of the market , seems a good blue ocean to the very enterprising sports business minded. Most countries preferred the traditional method of advertising via magazines comprising for the moment today for about 60 %. Further more , the needs for more awareness and sports education needs to given attention for the private sports service providers aside with each countries own embedded sports educational program. There is 20 % multiplier growth on annual bases with regards to the promotional , educational campaign business opportunities awaits to those sports service provider.

More over, Mr. Eric Gottschalk, CEO of MMC Sportz, clearly understand the important role of the new norms of technology . The sports industry is encouraged to utilized the social media networks , and platforms like Face book , Skype and You Tube . The digital age is today , and now is the best moment to use it for the advantage of the human kind and the sports industry.

The CEO likewise , mention the rapid "mobilization" of ASian countries. Every countries in ASIAN region is connected in the grid lines of communication via the mobile phone. The 36 million mobile users in Malaysia  and Philippines could be a better way to forge a new meaning of sports relatioship, for the two countries.

Each countries could create their own brand of sporting style by deepening the interconnectivity , exercising through a series sponsored events in more a dozen of sporting categories for about 12 countries in Asia, the CEO is a believer , that ASIAN have a better future ahead of them.
