Welcome an Uncertain 2010 with Hope
Gen Y Blogger Review of 2009 and the Past Decade *
Updated on January 13, 2010.
It had been an eventful decade for many people around the globe. Unlike any past financial crisis, this current global subprime mortgage crisis is comparable to a wide spread wild fire. This financial storm affects all age groups [1] [2] [3] [4], income levels [5] [6], industries [7] [8] and different regional economic markets [9] . Some compare this global subprime mortgage crisis to Great Depression.
We can see fluctuating and depressing monthly economic data reported by business and financial news. Looking forward to 2010, it seems different economists have conflicting 2010 economic outlook projection. People on the main or high street across the globe is confused by the differences in 2010 economic prediction. The 2010 economic outlook ranges from both positive [10] [11] [12] to cautious [13] to negative economic sentimental [14] [15 ] [16] outlooks.
“We still need to move forward whether we are optimistic or pessimistic about 2010 economy recovery rate.” – James Ang, The omniGens Blog – Make Life Simple .
We still need to move forward whether we are optimistic [17] [18] or pessimistic [19] about 2010 economy recovery rate. I agree with many that the impact of current subprime mortgage crisis is of much great scale than any post-war financial crisis. For example, the 1997 Asia Financial Crisis , 2000 dot-com bubble burst and 2003 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Recession is nothing compare to this current recession.
I will share some lessons learnt from past financial recession:
1. Acknowledge what are the things beyond our control.

2009 A Beacon of Hope in Humanitarian Global Community
Kudos To Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things.
Many people are affected by the global subprime mortgage crisis [1] [2] [3], it is depressing to always see negative and conflicting economic view from various media platform [4] [5] [6]. For many, this current global recession offers no hope and motivation to move forward. Are there any reasons to celebrate life?
Let’s go back to 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake that happened on December 26, 2004. For this article, we just focus on the positive outcome of this nature’s force of massive destruction. Also, there is another 2009 Asia Samoa Tsunami happened on September 29, 2009 . We will focus on the humanitarian aspect [7] [8] of these natural disaster.
“It is worth noting that many are humble about their great courage of strength.” – James Ang, The omniGens Blog – Make Life Simple.
There is much media coverage on the 2004 South East Asia Tsunami’s destruction scale. This includes the lost of lives, economic destruction impact and displacement of families. Not much media coverage on the humanitarian part of this natural disaster.
Some media reports mention touching human stories. What touching and inspirational stuff worth to share? Well, we can see how complete strangers helping one another in this Mother Nature force of destruction event. Many risk their lives and limbs reaching out to those in needs.
For example, we can see people like Kenneth Elmes, 10-year-old Tilly Smith and Abby Wutzler risking their lives saving people. It is worth noting that many are humble about their great courage of strength. I agree that there are many unsung hero who choose to be anonymous. Some even suffer injuries, others lost their lives and their loved one in this mega scale incident.
Well, I am quite concerned on resources available to assist this group of people or the deceased families. Beside financial and medical assistance provided to those in needs, we need to focus on their emotional and mental state of mind. Through strong peer support [9] [10], most people can recover from physical injuries and financial crisis eventually. However mental conditions like grief, depression, loneliness and post trauma stress disorder or PTSD is not easy to diagnose and get treated.
We can look back to people, both deceased and living, who had touched our lives and inspires us to move forward. This is gratitude. The benefit of gratitude and hope is a powerful motivational energy that keeps us rational and upbeat [9] [10] . In short, gratitude and sense of hope help us become more positive.
Let’s share with us your hope and dream. Come on. Let’s move forward! Take one step at a time.

Some Green Suggestions for Floating and Offshore Airports
Consider Urban Farming and Green Alternative Energy Implementation.
From my previous article, we see how some countries such as Japan, Netherlands and United States (U.S) and their engineering solution to rising sea level issue. This includes their design proposal on both floating and offshore airport mega-structure. It features the advantages, disadvantages and limitation of floating airport. We have learnt of some possible civil engineering and architectural design case study solution to combat global warming and climate change.

Have we known of any missing links in floating airport feasibility study? Well, it just came to my mind that maybe we can include urban farming, urban vertical farming and next generation alternative renewable energy power plants. It is just some green ideas suggested.
