Shervin Pishevar Sees Silicon Valley Collapsing

Shervin Pishevar is back on social media and like always he has a lot to say. It took the early Uber investor 50 tweets and 21 hours to say everything he wanted to say about the economy and he only took a break for dinner. While he may no longer work at Investment company, the founder of the company still cares greatly about his former team and is happy to note that things have been going in a positive direction for the business. Nobody knows for sure why he made the decision to return to social media when he did after a several months long break, but he drew the attention of many followers.

He has a lot to say about the outlook of the economy in the United States and there isn’t much of it that sounds that good. While the world’s economy keeps evolving and changing, Shervin Pishevar sees much of the policy and economy of the United States as falling behind and unless they catch up the economy and state of the country may suffer greatly. He believes one of the major steps to counteract this will be the government causing less uncertainty when it comes to global trade deals.

One of the big things that Shervin Pishevar sees happening to the United States is the eventual collapse of Silicon Valley. What started out as a city of innovation has turned into more of a movement that the monopolies of the region are starting to lose their grip on. He predicts tech giants like Facebook and Apple will soon see their customers turn away in even bigger droves as they continue to lose their trust. Facebook has been experiencing a lot of problems lately relating to how user’s information was used in advertising.

The ability of Silicon Valley to keep up with innovation has been lacking lately. Shervin Pishevar believes that a lot of this has to do with these big companies not accepting the concept of borderline business as fast as they should. The movement of entrepreneurship has gone viral as an idea and there is nothing the giants can do to stop it.

Adam Milstein on support of Jewish Community

Adam Milstein is a businessman and a philanthropist of Jewish descent who lives in the United States. He is one of the passionate Jews when it comes to matters of defending the identity of the Jewish community. He has stood with the community and has made sure that he plays his part of supporting the Jewish community living in the United States to come together and fight for their identity. At a time when the level of anti-Semitism in the world is going up, it has become a concern for the Jewish leaders to take measures that will ensure that the community is protected at all times.

 

There is a risk posed by agents of anti-Semitism who want to break the bond between the Jews and make them fear to be acknowledged by their true identity. This is something that Adam Milstein is not ready to happen. He has been using various channels to fight off anti-Semitism while at the same time calling for the unity of all Jews living in the United States. He believes that the Jews deserve the same treatment as other people and that no one should be subjected to discrimination just because they belong from a certain region.

 

Adam Milstein has dedicated his own money into sponsoring programs that will support the unity of the Jewish community. Milstein who is the managing partner of a real estate company known as Hager Pacific Properties is one of the people who has made sure that the community gets a chance to enjoy life like any other. Every year, he is spending over $1 million on activities which will lead to the strengthening of the Jewish state.

 

Adam Milstein believes that the unity of the Jewish community is the most important thing that can happen to the mission of countering agents of hate. A united nation will stand and oppose hate, but a divided one will collapse in light of challenges. Adam Milstein says that the agents of hate aim to bring divisions between Jews so that they can weaken. However, this is not going to happen easily. With Adam Milstein and others, the community is stronger than ever.

Fusing Tech and Medicine with Dr. Jorge Moll: For the Benefit of All

After graduating medical school at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 1994, Jorge Moll went on to complete his three year residency in Neurology at the same university. Always moving forward, he continued his education at the University of São Paulo, earning a PhD in Experimental Pathophysiology before becoming a post-doctorate research fellow with the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, USA. Combining his education with execution, Doctor Jorge Moll now serves as the president-director of the D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR) in Rio de Janeiro and the head of its Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience Unit. Along the way, Dr. Moll has been elected an affiliate member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and a governors board member of the International Neuroethics Society.

 

Utilizing his position and knowledge, he now works to fuse technology with medical care to improve the experience of patients as well as empower healthcare providers. Working alongside allies like Dr. Albert Chan, Chief of Digital Patient Experience at Sutter Health, a healthcare network operating in over 100 cities and towns in Northern California, Dr. Moll works to find effective ways to implement technology into the day to day of patient care. Citing the example of Google Glass, Jorge Moll points out that such a device used to take and retrieve notes can improve the patient experience by allowing the physician to pay full attention to the patient rather than needing to take notes or dig through information by hand.

 

Through the aid of such technology, healthcare providers will be able to improve both the safety and care provided to patients as well as increase their own productivity as they could use the same device to collect, store, review, and share information with specialists. Further still, similar technology can be used by patients to review their own records as well as contact providers and make appointments. Ultimately, Dr. Moll is interested in promoting partnerships between medicine and technology to expedite the development process, as the synthesis of these two fields are the present and definitive future of healthcare.

Lee May is a successful real estate businessman. He is operating in London, an area where the competition in the real estate industry is one of the toughest in the world. In this kind of business climate, May was able to hone his business skills in the industry. This real estate man is also focusing his energies and talents in giving back to his community.

 

Lee May’s real estate business has had many successes in recent years. One of these is the development of 628 apartment dwellings located in East London. Another achievement is his securing the sites in Essex for the development of more than 1,000 housing units. With these businesses in real estate, there is little wonder why May rose to prominence within the industry.

 

Many real estate businesses have similar goals as May, but few of them were able to achieve them. One of the lucky ones is Lee May. Now that he has arrived in London, he seems to turn his eyes on another target – the international market. He has joined forces with a company based in Hong Kong. It seems that they are closing in on a joint venture that would cost more than £380 million. This deal is not only groundbreaking but it also made waves and gave notice to the international real estate market that a leading developer in London is breaking out into international territories as well.

 

Another example of Lee May’s international direction is his real estate interest in Canada. He is developing a shopping mall in this North American territory. He will not just develop the land that he acquired in Canada but once the mall is completed, he intends to stay as its landlord and will head the business operations of the mall.

 

In all his business successes, Lee May does not forget the role he wants to play in the community. He aims to give back his rewards to the community. To this end, he is giving his donations to organizations working on combatting cancer and road safety. He is also giving part of his money in training amateur boxers and giving them equal opportunities in competition.

Custom Companies: If You Need Shipping Your Way

Are you a firm that is looking for a shipping company that can handle a variety of transportation needs? Do you also need warehouse storage? Do you vary from partial to full-size shipments? Do you need national coverage?

(releasefact)

Several days ago I was asked if I knew a company that could provide these types of services. My response was, “Let me introduce you to Custom Companies”. So I told them what I knew and had experienced. “Custom Companies are based in Chicago and has been in the shipping business since 1986. This company has set itself apart from other companies by a large number of services offered. They can arrange any type of transportation needed by road, rail, or air. I needed to ship to Canada and they took care of it, even having to combine several modes of transportation. I was able to warehouse the shipment with them to meet all the schedules of the transporters. Custom Companies took care of customs, and my shipment arrived safely as well as on time. I couldn’t be happier with the service.”

 

I said, “The way I heard about them was from my cousin in Los Angles. He uses Custom Companies as a local courier service. They provide him with local pick-up and offer delivery within a hundred miles radius. He told me that I could track my delivery from door to door. Better than that, Custom Companies can be reached at any time, day or night, 365 days a year. They assigned me a territory manager that I can contact if I have a question or concern. He said they offer the same local service in Chicago also.”

 

What impressed me was their 76 distribution centers all over the Continental US. They can handle most kinds of freight, including refrigeration and certain types of hazardous materials. The standard time for payment is 30 days. So, if you need commercial shipping, you might want to try Custom Companies. Look them up online and visit their website. I tried them and was most impressed with the pricing, the service, and the support.
