Accelerated Convergence ~ Growth Strategies...

I want to revisit the big idea of Accelerated Convergence -- figuring out how historically, and how going forward, countries begin to grow rapidly and catch-up with the most prosperous. Check out these data traces from Gapminder which show first Australia, then Canada, then Monaco, then Sweden, then Japan, then South Korea, and now China all shifting from prior GDP/capita trajectory into accelerated convergence mode and then (except for China, yet) converging in GDP/capita with United States...
Who else can do this in the future? And what if all countries began converging at the average Japan+SK+China rate? Where would we be by 2050?

Envac ~ Pneumatic Vacuum Disposal Systems!-)

Instead of garbage cans and stinky trucks, why not use Envac's automated pneumatic vacuum waste collection and disposal system?!
"Envac invented the vacuum waste system. The first vacuum system was installed in 1961, and today the systems are found all over the world -- in residential areas, business premises, town centres, industrial kitchens, hospitals and airports. The system is a part of the city infrastructure, just like electricity, sewage, water supply etc."
Why blow when you can suck!-) Behold hilarious Envac promo video...
