This is a stylization of a slideshow originally created by Karl Fisch, examining globalization and America's future in the 21st century. It is designed to stand alone, without having to be presented in person. Enjoy!
Slideshare is an excellent Web 2.0 resource for those who may not have come across it. And this gem is something that is worthy of sharing on Newsvine.
If you think some Newsviners have a talent for rants and raves with a rage, it is nothing compared to what Heather Mills, ex-wife of Paul McCartney.
The Lord maketh man, in the Garden of Eden. Then wondered, "What's missing, for this here Adam?" After casting about, looking for a suitable pearl, He kept innovating, and created a girl. Two beautiful legs, so long and slender,

Hi Raat, First, let me thank you to advice me. A fact, I got initial interest in this site because of you. I took it very lightly and made that mistake of copying Newspiece as my article, little bit knowingly as it was difficult to find the right way. Thanks for your co-operation.Now i'm a regular visitor here. I did not get any earning yet,and i dont know how to earn, but it's interesting.
Raanisahib: Omnipotent! Omnipresent!
From the moment I read Raat ki Raani's original article in which he expressed his thoughts about being new to the vine I was hooked.
His original articles never fail to attract my attention and the skillful diplomacy he exhibits when commenting within threads is admirable.
He keeps Newsvine a kinder, gentler, intellectual place to visit.

RkR is singular. Track his comments. That's where the genius is found.
Hi Raat,
Thank you so much for leaving a comment on my page. I feel like I'm actually a bonafide member now! I see by the above comments that people like and respect you, so I look forward to getting to know you.My experience here has been a good one so far. It's much different than my poetry sites, but I like reading other things, too.
Thank you for the welcome.
Rosie
Raat continues to delight me with his humor and eloquence... never does a moment go by that he does not add something to the conversation.
I am very glad we are both new together, he definitely is a wonderful addition to NewsVine!
Hey Raat Ki, thanks for helping me. Passing by just to thanks u nothing more..... Just like (I think it was you) said is just about having some friends and then adding personality to your column... Well I.... Forget it, thanks and bye.
From Your most recent addition to the friend list- Diel- :)
(Yes, I'm just that crazy)

I'm not sure why Raat is on Newsvine, when he could be out there running the World Bank or something.
But it's good to have him here... coz he's a top banana!
RkR might be new, but he's an excellent writer, and a great addition to my watchlist. I highly recommend tracking his stuff.

Raat is my favorite Newsviner and not only because I love the beauty of the name. I mean, how many people have the beauty, the simplicity really, of having a double vowell in the middle of their first name.
But seriously we joined at the same time and read a lot of the same stuff and his participation makes my participation that much more enjoyable and
intellectually stimulating.I can almost stop being mad that he named someone else as his favorite viner.
Raat landed like that black monolith in Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey, kicking the evolution on Newsvine a couple of notches ahead. He is well informed, socially engaged and an original contributor. Representing the essential qualities of the long-lasting Newsvine columnist, it is no surprise Raat has managed to establish himself as a voice to be recognized in very short time.
We started here at Newsvine at same time and share interest on web 2.0 articles. Raat has become my good friend in a short time.

Raat ki Raani has not been on the Vine so long but some of us have felt his impact already. One of my favourite new viners.
