How to Evaluate Operator Competency in Large Gantry Crane Handling
Large gantry cranes are vital pieces of equipment in industries such as shipbuilding, steel production, container handling, and heavy manufacturing. Their ability to lift, move, and place heavy loads with precision makes them indispensable.

Therefore, evaluating operator competency is critical to ensuring workplace safety and operational efficiency.

The Economics of Scale and Trust: Lessons from Digital Marketplaces
INTRODUCTION From Amazon to Airbnb, every major digital marketplace operates on two invisible currencies: scale and trust. The World Economic Forum’s 2024 Digital Trust Index reports that more than 70 percent of online users consider trust to be their deciding factor when engaging on a platform. At the same time, OECD data shows that network-driven firms now account for over half of global market capitalization. Scale accelerates growth, but trust sustains it. Without credible systems for fairness, transparency, and reliability, even the most efficient digital markets can collapse under their own information burden. Today’s economist must therefore study not just supply and demand, but also credibility, connection, and the human behavior that powers digital interactions.

Powering Cleaner Floors: Why LiFePO4 Batteries Are the New Standard for Commercial Sweepers
The quiet revolution beneath today’s commercial sweepers and floor scrubbers is not a new brush or detergent — it is the battery. Over the past several years operation teams have migrated away from heavy, maintenance-intensive lead-acid packs toward purpose-designed LiFePO4 (lithium-iron-phosphate) systems. For facilities that measure value in cleaning cycles, labor hours and predictable uptime, battery performance has become a core productivity lever rather than an afterthought.

Mamaks, no longer just a place for food spots, it grow even more into community’s hot spot. One may find group of students doing assignments at the corners, group of friend having a good game of Mobile Legend, a freelancer working on clients project or some old timers sharing random thoughts on almost everything. Even successful startups ideas could come from random talks at mamak. With just one glass of teh tarik, one could spend whole day over there.

But I don’t think that way. Jack Estes DeBrabander really thinks Bitcoin could go way, way past what people are even comfortable saying out loud. I’m not joking. I’ve run the numbers in my head so many times that it doesn’t even feel crazy anymore.

AI, Automation, and the Future of Jobs: Lessons for India and the U.S.. AI-Generated.
INTRODUCTION Automation is no longer a distant concept; it is an active force reshaping industries across the world. According to a 2023 McKinsey report, up to 800 million jobs could be displaced globally by 2030, with emerging economies like India and advanced economies like the United States facing different but equally urgent challenges. The key question today is not whether automation will reshape work, but whether societies can adapt quickly enough to manage the transition. Although India and the U.S. are worlds apart in scale and economic structure, both countries offer valuable lessons on preparing for a future where human–machine collaboration defines prosperity.
