Warmest celebration wishes, Ssusan Technolink Member Steffan Tubbs How the film "ACRONYM" is Saving Lives Members of the Mountain Time Media team were given the distinct honor this week of screening the film ACRONYM: The Cross-Generational Battle With PTSD to members of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs on Capitol Hill. The film focuses on a sad reality: 22 veterans kill themselves and 75 attempt EVERY DAY - but looks ahead with hope and at alternative therapies available. Since its Veterans Day premiere, at least FOUR veterans (the oldest a Korean War vet) have sought treatment for the first time after seeing the film.

It has recently been reviewed by Dr. Michael R. Winston and he has quoted: “At a time of intense discussion about American democracy and our political system, Edward Delon's A Constitutional Democracy: Voices and Votes is a new resource for the intelligent public. I regard it as a timely asset for our civic culture, especially for those young people eager to understand how our government works.

Technolink Snapshot February 2016

Technolink Member Terry O’Neill Shares a SnapShot of His Economic Perspectives for 2016 “Exploring the New Abnormal” Exploring the new abnormal: I expect global GDP growth to accelerate by a mere 0.2 percentage points in 2016. In my view, this tepid pace of expansion reflects the slump in potential growth across both DMs and EMs—a trend that points to a prolonged period of sluggish growth and low inflation ahead. This new abnormal—has both cyclical and structural roots, with the chief cyclical element being demand weakness as a consequence of deleveraging, a process that began in the U.S. in 2008 and spread to Europe in 2010-11. Since 2013—following the Fed’s tapering of QE, the start of China’s slowdown and the end of the commodity super-cycle—deleveraging has been playing out in the EM world as well. Waves of deleveraging amplify the risk of hysteresis, whereby the cyclical slowdown would morph into a secular one as a persistently depressed cycle chips away at trend growth. Population aging is throwing up structural impediments to growth—lowering investment, reducing productivity gains and, in the face of unfunded pension systems across much of the world, raising desired savings. All of these shifts dampen demand and undercut growth. Higher savings have failed to spark higher investment as a result of deleveraging and regulatory, economic and policy uncertainties, among other factors. And tech-sector innovation has yet to show up in total factor productivity growth. Structural reforms have been inadequate. DM governments bear some of the blame, but EMs have been especially remiss on the reform front, failing to see the need for change in the boom years and fearing contraction in lean periods. Rising inequality is another brake on growth, as average savings rates tend to rise when wealth and income are redistributed from labor to capital and wages are transformed into profits.

Technolink Members Making the News… Sneak Preview of Forum Briefings: Economic Perspectives: TERRY O'NEILL

Terry O’Neill was recently interviewed on KOA all news radio about his economic perspective and outlook. Terry shared, “Regarding the current global economic turmoil, China isn't regressing to revert to their mercantilist trade policies, but to make their exchange rate more market determined. This move is more about market reforms than growth—this move is about getting China in the reserve currency basket which is a symbol of the country’s burgeoning status as a global power…”

Technolink Snapshot August 2015

The Technolink Association proudly welcomes New Supporter JAKE HARRIMAN Nuru International: Origins - Jake Harriman's Fight to End Extreme Poverty The Technolink Association proudly welcomes New Supporter, Jake Harriman, Founder and CEO of Nuru International, to our community. During his time in combat, US Marine Corps Platoon Commander Jake Harriman spent countless days in extremely poor regions of Southern Iraq doing his best to create lasting change. While fighting the Taliban and Al Qaeda, Jake noticed that these horribly oppressive groups also performed basic development services – providing food, education, and jobs to desperate families that had no other viable alternatives. Frustrated by his own lack of success in helping families in these remote areas, Jake left the military and enrolled in the Stanford Graduate School of Business to found an organization that would provide thousands of families with lasting meaningful choices. In 2008, Jake founded Nuru International. Fast forward seven years: over 80,000 people in Kenya and Ethiopia have begun lifting themselves out of extreme poverty permanently, thanks to Nuru's programs. Because of his servant leadership and bold ideas, Jake had the opportunity give a speech and introduce President George W. Bush and President Bill Clinton at his Presidential Leadership Scholars graduation ceremony. Watch Jake’s speech here. Jake Harriman will be sharing his insights and journey on creating Nuru International with the Technolink community at the Fall Presidents Club Forum on Tuesday, October 13, 2015 at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel.
