21st Century At A Glance - November 12th 2026

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The below are nearly exclusively the thoughts of HRM Leonardo Da Vinci...

When do humans do intellectual work with pleasure? When they think that they don't have to do any physical work in the future... That's how the diligence of school-age children can be explained...

Grown-ups can be reassured if politicians and entrepreneurs organise intellectual work for the entire citizenship... That's obviously a big task to perform, you should start to perform it as soon as possible...

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team

The Magic Of Rolls-Royce - The Budget Car

Ladies and Gentlemen,

There is nothing new in the following idea but I like it... If you own a Rolls-Royce crossover that can be used both as a state limousine and a family car and whose output is over 300, 400 or even 500 HP you have a sports car as well... You don't need to spend on a particular sports car either...

So save some money and buy a Rolls-Royce!

The Next Billions Of Years

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm coming to myself and it is my plan for the next billions of years that the De la Mikula family will undertake... You can have the explanation to your mobile or home computer as discretion is necessary...

We are going to finance the new enterprises by the Royal Taxes that are handled by my beloved Mother and Father... First of all my children will be asked to deal with current affairs and folklore for a yearly salary... If they have theories and inventions and artworks on their own they will receive 10% of the gains or a further salary if the 10% of the gains cannot be applied - as all other citizens in our realm...

Subjects of the De la Mikula Tax can apply for EUR 100,000.00 a year per person in order to be able to buy the latest products of universal research and development for their household... Cost-free products will be available, too...

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team

Colourful Pieces Of News - November 4th 2026

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The world of science and technology advances... Here you have a couple of examples for the development:

1) HRM Leonardo Da Vinci has been thinking about humans' flying and discovered a new way of individual traffic: ultra-light airplanes (suggested by me)... Some ultra-light airplanes (you can think of the products of the Cessna company for example) compete with luxury cars regarding their price and performance and contribute to the safety and convenience of traffic among cities and towns with an airport... There are more affordable ultra-light aircraft, too... The archetype of angels is an artistic symbol of people traveling by ultra-light aircraft...

Visit: Cessna

2) My foster-mother has invented a way of reducing the resistance of electric wires... If electric wires have a hole in their middle they have a lower resistance because they allow the creation of magnetic fields instead of an electric chaos in the middle and allow a thermal expansion of the wire...

3) If you want to buy and sustain an ultra-light aircraft you can get EUR 100,000.00 a year per person on your De la Mikula Tax... As the De la Mikula family doesn't only want you to survive but we would like to provide you with a touch of welfare, too... As for the "not-easy-ride" from Madonna: you had it already...

All-Weather Motorcycles

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am 51 and it has been one of the great questions of my life how you can make a motorcycle suitable for winter? The answer is: by a sidecar...

The expression "all-weather motorcycle" comes from HRM Leonardo Da Vinci who also dealt with the question... He imagined a bubble out of fabric or "airbag" around the motorcycle which would protect the driver of the motorcycle in case of an accident and against the weather and would also blow warm air around him or her...

By the way warm air... The fabric bubble around the driver could be also blown up by the exhaust gases of the motorcycle... In that case you must not breathe in the content of the "airbag..."

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team

You Won't Believe This - November 1st 2026

Ladies and Gentlemen,

You build machines in order to do work that humans couldn't do at all or to make your life easier that means they should add to the energy you feed in... Some machines meet these requirements and some don't... Machines that have a significant thermal efficiency do less work than the thermal energy that is fed in them because of the thermal losses... That means they don't make our life easier...

Except the heat engines are tiny... In this case combustion has less chance to be radiated into the cooling system of the engine or into the exhaust system - it has to drive the crankshaft... Or you can place your hope into an electric engine which has hardly any thermal losses...

Now you can reckon... Are electric cars not primitive but high-end products? Their range is not extraordinary and they lack a gearbox but they still consume very little energy... Are electric cars a luxury?

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team

Good-bye To Folklore

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Our efforts with folklore have failed, we cannot collect any theories and inventions from the citizenship... If we cannot do business with the citizenship then the De la Mikula family has to serve the people and we have to keep scientific, technological and artistic development alive intellectually and as entrepreneurs... That's why I'm trying to support the scientific and artistic career of the children in my own family, maybe they will have some fresh ideas for the challenges of our time on the long run...

Thank you very much for the security that the citizenship provided with... I am eternally grateful...

Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
