9 Algorithms That Changed The Future
If the word algorithm has always been a little confusing for you then start with this book. Here is a simple explanation of what an algorithm is and then presentation of 9 brilliant algorithms that open the door on how computers and the internet work.
The Master Switch: The Rise And Fall OF Information Empires
It is easy to forget that every development in the history of the American information industry–from the telephone to radio to film–once existed in an open and chaotic marketplace inhabited by entrepreneurs and utopians, just as the Internet does today. Each of these, however, grew to be dominated by a monopolist or cartel. In this pathbreaking book, Tim Wu asks: will the Internet follow the same fate? Could the Web–the entire flow of American information–come to be ruled by a corporate leviathan?
Making Silicon Valley: Innovation and the Growth of High Tech, 1930-1970
In Making Silicon Valley, Christophe Lécuyer shows that the explosive growth of the personal computer industry in Silicon Valley was the culmination of decades of growth and innovation in the San Francisco-area electronics industry. Using the tools of science and technology studies, he explores the formation of Silicon Valley as an industrial district, from its beginnings as the home of a few radio enterprises that operated in the shadow of RCA and other East Coast firms through its establishment as a center of the electronics industry and a leading producer of power grid tubes, microwave tubes, and semiconductors.
America The Vulnerable: Inside The New Threat Matrix Of Digital Espionage, Crime, And Warfare
A former top-level National Security Agency insider goes behind the headlines to explore America's next great battleground: digital security. An urgent wake-up call that identifies our foes; unveils their methods; and charts the dire consequences for government, business, and individuals.
The Code Book: The Science Of Secrecy From Ancient Egypt To Quantum Cryptography
This is a fascinating book - well written, easy to read. Simon Singh offers the first sweeping history of encryption, tracing its evolution and revealing the dramatic effects codes have had on wars, nations, and individual lives. From Mary, Queen of Scots, trapped by her own code, to the Navajo Code Talkers who helped the Allies win World War II, to the incredible (and incredibly simple) logisitical breakthrough that made Internet commerce secure, The Code Book tells the story of the most powerful intellectual weapon ever known: secrecy.
The Hour Between Dog And Wolf: Risk-Taking, Gut Feelings And The Biology Of Boom And Bust
It turns out all those wild men financial traders are actually wild men as they go online to trade fortunes at their computer driven, internet connected desks. The laws of financial boom and bust, it turns out, have more than a little to do with male hormones. In a series of groundbreaking experiments, Dr. John Coates identified a feedback loop between testosterone and success that dramatically lowers the fear of risk in men, especially younger men—significantly, the fear of risk is not reduced in women. Similarly, intense failure leads to a rise in levels of cortisol, the antitestosterone hormone that lowers the appetite for risk across an entire spectrum of decisions.
The Longer Long Tail: Why The Future Of Business Is Selling Less Of More
Maybe there are a few holes in the theory, now that it's been out there for years, but this book is still important and a great read. Chris Anderson shows how the future of commerce and culture isn't in hits, the high-volume head of a traditional demand curve, but in what used to be regarded as misses--the endlessly long tail of that same curve.
Tubes: A Journey To The Center Of The Internet
Another fascinating story - this time about the physical structure of the internet. In Tubes, Andrew Blum, a correspondent at Wired magazine, takes us on an engaging, utterly fascinating tour behind the scenes of our everyday lives and reveals the dark beating heart of the Internet itself. A remarkable journey through the brave new technological world we live in,
Contagious: Why Things Catch On
What makes things popular? Why do people talk about certain products and ideas more than others? Why are some stories and rumors more infectious? And what makes online content go viral? If you said advertising, think again. People don't listen to advertisements, they listen to their peers. But why do people talk about certain products and ideas more than others? Why are some stories and rumors more infectious? And what makes online content go viral?
A History Of Modern Computing
When I needed to know the history of where different computer codes came from this is where I found the answers. This engaging history covers modern computing from the development of the first electronic digital computer through the dot-com crash. The author concentrates on five key moments of transition: the transformation of the computer in the late 1940s from a specialized scientific instrument to a commercial product; the emergence of small systems in the late 1960s; the beginning of personal computing in the 1970s; the spread of networking after 1985; and, in a chapter written for this edition, the period 1995-2001.
The Golden Ticket: P, NP, And The Search For The Impossible
The P-NP problem is the most important open problem in computer science, if not all of mathematics. The Golden Ticket provides a nontechnical introduction to P-NP, its rich history, and its algorithmic implications for everything we do with computers and beyond. Well written and very readable.
Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software
Here is how a computer works - the gates, the switches and all the electrical engineering methods that made computers happen. What do flashlights, the British invasion, black cats, and seesaws have to do with computers? In CODE, they show us the ingenious ways we manipulate language and invent new means of communicating with each other. And through CODE, we see how this ingenuity and our very human compulsion to communicate have driven the technological innovations of the past two centuries.
The CHIP: How Two Americans Invented the Microchip and Launched a Revolution
Barely fifty years ago a computer was a gargantuan, vastly expensive thing that only a handful of scientists had ever seen. The world's brightest engineers were stymied in their quest to make these machines small and affordable until the solution finally came from two ingenious young Americans. Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce hit upon the stunning discovery that would make possible the silicon microchip.
The Battery: How Portable Power Sparked A Technological Revolution
The Battery is the first popular history of the technology that harnessed electricity and powered the greatest scientific and technological advances of our time. If you like Wired Magazine and popular science books, you'll love the "hidden history" of The Battery.
The Inside Story of China's High-Tech Industry: Making Silicon Valley in Beijing
In the 1980s, China faced the monumental task of creating, from scratch, internationally competitive companies. This challenge was especially daunting in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector. The Inside Story of China's High-Tech Industry describes the emergence and growth of this industry in China through a historically situated analysis of China's leading science park, Beijing's Zhongguancun, also known as China's Silicon Valley.
You are not a Gadget
A programmer, musician, and father of virtual reality technology, Jaron Lanier was a pioneer in digital media, and among the first to predict the revolutionary changes it would bring to our commerce and culture. Now, with the Web influencing virtually every aspect of our lives, he offers this provocative critique of how digital design is shaping society, for better and for worse.
The Joy of x: A Guided Tour of Math, from One to Infinity
Many people take math in high school and promptly forget much of it. But math plays a part in all of our lives all of the time, whether we know it or not. In The Joy of x, Steven Strogatz expands on his hit New York Times series to explain the big ideas of math gently and clearly, with wit, insight, and brilliant illustrations.
The Universe in Zero Words: The Story Of Mathematics As Told Through Equations
Higher math opens up when you have a writer explain it all in simple words. The Universe in Zero Words tells the history of twenty-four great and beautiful equations that have shaped mathematics, science, and society--from the elementary (1+1=2) to the sophisticated (the Black-Scholes formula for financial derivatives), and from the famous (E=mc2) to the arcane (Hamilton's quaternion equations).
City of Light: The Story of Fiber Optics
City of Light tells the story of fiber optics, tracing its transformation from 19th-century parlor trick into the foundation of our global communications network. Written for a broad audience by a journalist who has covered the field for twenty years, the book is a lively account of both the people and the ideas behind this revolutionary technology.
Wi-Fi and the Bad Boys of Radio
At 36,000 feet, Wi-Fi converts our airline seats to remote offices. It lets us read email in airports, watch video in coffee shops, and listen to music at home. Wi-Fi is everywhere. But where did it come from? Wi-Fi and the Bad Boys of Radio takes us back to when the Internet was first gaining popularity, email took ten minutes to load up, and cell phones were big and unwieldy.
The Cellphone: The History and Technology of the Gadget That Changed the World
Presenting the history of the cellular phone from its beginnings in the 1940s to the present, this book explains the fundamental concepts involved in wireless communication along with the ramifications of cellular technology on the economy, U.S. and international law, human health, and society.
The Big Switch: Rewiring The World From Edison To Google
The Big Switch makes a simple and profound statement: Computing is turning into a utility, and the effects of this transition will ultimately change society as completely as the advent of cheap electricity did.
Who Controls the Internet?: Illusions of a Borderless World
Is the Internet erasing national borders? Will the future of the Net be set by Internet engineers, rogue programmers, the United Nations, or powerful countries? Who's really in control of what's happening on the Net? In this provocative new book, Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu tell the fascinating story of the Internet's challenge to governmental rule in the 1990s, and the ensuing battles with governments around the world. It's a book about the fate of one idea--that the Internet might liberate us forever from government, borders, and even our physical selves.
The Third Industrial Revolution: How Lateral Power Is Transforming Energy, The Economy, And The World
This book explores how Internet technology and renewable energy are merging to create a powerful "Third Industrial Revolution." He asks us to imagine hundreds of millions of people producing their own green energy in their homes, offices, and factories, and sharing it with each other in an "energy internet," just like we now create and share information online. In the first edition, this book pointed to Spain as the next new energy innovator, which obviously didn't happen. The ideas are lucid and important, but the end solution is assumed to be politically reachable when it seems it may not be. Well written - a provocative read.
The Shallows: What The Intenet Is Doing To Our Brains
As we enjoy the Net's bounties, are we sacrificing our ability to read and think deeply? Our brains, the historical and scientific evidence reveals, change in response to our experiences. The technologies we use to find, store, and share information can literally reroute our neural pathways. Human thought has been shaped through the centuries by "tools of the mind"—from the alphabet to maps, to the printing press, the clock, and the computer—Carr interweaves a fascinating account of recent discoveries in neuroscience by such pioneers as Michael Merzenich and Eric Kandel.
CODE Version 2.0
There's a common belief that cyberspace cannot be regulated-that it is, in its very essence, immune from the government's (or anyone else's) control. Code, first published in 2000, argues that this belief is wrong. It is not in the nature of cyberspace to be unregulable; cyberspace has no "nature." It only has code-the software and hardware that make cyberspace what it is. That code can create a place of freedom-as the original architecture of the Net did-or a place of oppressive control. Under the influence of commerce, cyberspace is becoming a highly regulable space, where behavior is much more tightly controlled than in real space.
Satellite Basics For Everyone: An Illustrated Guide To Satellites For Non-Technical And technical People
Learn about satellites that affect us every day, how they work, and how we can place and keep them on orbit. Satellite Basics for Everyone presents an introduction and overview to satellites. It's written as clearly and understand.
Who Owns the Future?
Who Owns the Future? is his visionary reckoning with the most urgent economic and social trend of our age: the poisonous concentration of money and power in our digital networks.
The Net Delusion: The Dark Side Of Internet Freedom
For all of the talk in the West about the power of the Internet to democratize societies, regimes in Iran and China are as stable and repressive as ever. Social media sites have been used there to entrench dictators and threaten dissidents, making it harder—not easier—to promote democracy.
Copywriting Secrets Of A Marketing Rebel
Ecommerce on the internet is all about copywriting skills. An "insider" shortcut guide to creating sensational ads that will supercharge your business, your wealth, and your life... even if you flunked English!
Predictive Analysis: The Power to Predict who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die
You have been predicted — by companies, governments, law enforcement, hospitals, and universities. Their computers say, "I knew you were going to do that!" These institutions are seizing upon the power to predict whether you're going to click, buy, lie, or die. This book is easily understood by all readers. Rather than a "how to" for hands-on techies, the book entices lay-readers and experts alike by covering new case studies and the latest state-of-the-art techniques.
Liquid Gold: The Story of Liquid Crystal Displays and the Creation of an Industry
This book traces the history of liquid crystal display (LCD) development from simple laboratory samples to the flat, thin LCDs that have become an important part of everyday life, appearing in television screens, computers, cellular phones, as well as numerous other consumer and industrial products. It provides insight into how these products were developed and what might be expected in the future.
New Business Networking: How to Effectively Grow Your Buseiness Network Using Online and Offline Methods
This little book provides methods for using the digital world to grow business networks and connect them to non-digital networks.
The Internet Police: How Crime Went Online – and the Cops Followed,
Once considered a borderless and chaotic virtual landscape, the Internet is now home to the forces of international law and order. It's not just computer hackers and cyber crooks who lurk in the dark corners of the Web—the cops are there, too. In The Internet Police, Ars Technica editor Nate Anderson takes readers on a behind-the-screens tour of landmark cybercrime cases, revealing how criminals continue to find digital and legal loopholes even as police hurry to cinch them closed.
Dogfight: How Apple and Google Went to War and Started A Revolution
The rise of smartphones and tablets has altered the industry of making computers. At the center of this change are Apple and Google, two companies whose philosophies, leaders, and commercial acumen have steamrolled the competition. In the age of Android and the iPad, these corporations are locked in a feud that will play out not just in the mobile marketplace but in the courts and on screens around the world.
The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon
Amazon.com's visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To do so, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now.
This broad ranging collection of books looks at the technical, theoretical and social sides of digital life. I enjoyed each of these books, but as I progressed through them as a collection, each individual book seemed more fascinating and more relevant. Some are easier to read than others, but all are worthwhile. The two books about mathematics and equations: The JOY of X, and The Universe In Zero Words are both not demanding of math skills. It's amazing how math is the language behind almost all of the digital world; these two books provide an explanation of that math without requiring that you do any problem sets. Whew! Dive into this collection and learn about the DIGITAL ERA.

Augmented reality has finally comes to iPhone through an alpha stage software for iphone. Augmented reality is really awesome because we can interact with the virtual object true an webcam.
This technology has been a popular stuff and Japanese has created Alice the Maid which also an augmented reality virtual toy that you can actively interacts with her.
ARToolKit v4.4 has the same feature as Alice and it support native operation on iPhone. With ARToolKit, you are allow to create an AR (Augmented Reality) application, which use the real world imagery through iPhone Camera and interact with the object using iPhone's touch screen interface.
"the toolkit is in Alpha, so it's only able to output at about 10 frames per second. I'm sure, however, that there will be plenty of optimization to get things running at faster speeds before it's released."

oil suffers biggest oneday fall since 2004
Oil suffers biggest one-day fall since 2004
Prices drop more than $7 to $114 on dollar rise, demand worries
Richard Valdmanis NEW YORK
CRUDE oil prices fell more than $7 on Friday in the biggest oneday
percentage slide since 2004 as dealers turned their focus to rising
supply levels and weakening global demand.
A rebound in the US dollar encouraged the sell-off, applying
downward pressure across the commodities markets by weakening the
purchasing power of buyers using other currencies, analysts said.
"People who were buying on Thursday are taking profits on Friday,"
said Peter Beutel, analyst at consultancy Cameron Hanover. "There is
also renewed technical selling and talk again of demand destruction.
The dollar is strong again too."
US light crude fell $6.07, or 5%, to $115.11 a barrel at 12:25 am
IST, — the biggest one-day fall in percentage terms since December
2004. London Brent crude fell $5.85 to $114.31 a barrel.
The slide completely reversed crude's surge on Thursday,
underscoring the increasing volatility of the energy market, which has
dropped more than 20% from peaks in mid-July but is still about 15% up
on the year. The declines on Friday were encouraged by two separate
reports Friday showing an uptick in Opec crude oil output and an
expected decline in US travel over the September 1 Labour Day holiday
Industry consultant Petrologistics said on Friday Opec oil output
was expected to rise in August by 450,000 barrels per day to 32.9
million bpd, a factor that could further beef up inventory levels in
consumer nations.
Meanwhile, the US auto and travel group AAA said that Labour Day
holiday travel was expected to fall this year by the largest amount in
at least eight years as consumers struggle with higher gasoline prices
and airfares. Concerns high energy costs are taking a toll on global
fuel demand have played a big role in oil's sharp descent from peaks
above $147 a barrel in mid-July.
Friday's losses came after a big climb in prices earlier in the
week that had been supported by rising tension between the US and
Russia, the world's second biggest oil producer. — Reuters

DescriptionA significant part of these games takes place in a Post-Apocalyptic world. After the end of civilization as we know it, before a new and equal society has arisen to replace it. Often a world-wide nuclear war, where radiation has created mutants, entire cities are leveled, and necessities like gas, food, and water are hard to come by. However, the setting applies to any world that was destroyed following a major disaster: post-nuclear war, post-pandemic, post-zombie apocalypse, post-natural disaster (like global weather disaster or asteroid strike), or, even, post-alien invasion.

I toured the American Printing House for the Blind and was very impressed with the facility, the wide array of products they develop and manufacture, the high standards to which they hold themselves in the creation of the products, and they professionalism of the staff. Highly recommend this to anyone!
I toured the American Printing House for the Blind with my son's third grade class and have to say what an amazing place it is!!! I have lived in Louisville most of my life and have passed by the location, but did not realize they gave tours. The Museum is excellent. Our tour guide was great and kept the kids engaged. I didn't realize how many items they make and the number of children they serve (over 59,000 across the United States).
The tour is free! Take my advice and take advantage of this Louisville Treasure.

The Time Value of Money (Part 1)
Calculate future values and understand compounding.
Calculate present values and understand discounting.
Calculate implied interest rates and waiting time from the time value of money equation.
Apply the time value of money equation using formula, calculator, and spreadsheet.
Explain the Rule of 72, a simple estimation of doubling values.
Future value is the value of an asset in the future that is equivalent in value to a specific amount today.
Lump-sum payment: one-time payment of money in the future.
Compound interest is interest earned on interest.
These concepts help us to determine the attractiveness of alternative investments, to figure out the effect of inflation on the future cost of assets, such as a car or a house.
FV = PV + PV x interest rate, or
FV = PV(1+interest rate)
(in decimals)
Example 1: Let's say John deposits $200 for a year in an account that pays 6% per year. At the end of the year, he will have:
FV = PV x (1+r)n
Example 2: If John closes out his account after 3 years, deposited $200 and the accounts pay 6% interest rate, how much money will he have accumulated? How much of that is the interest-on-interest component? What about after 10 years?
where 6% interest per year for 3 years = $200 x.06 x 3=$36
Interest on interest = $238.20 - $200 - $36 =$2.20
FV10 = $200(1.06)10 = $200 x 1.790847 = $358.17
where 6% interest per year for 10 years = $200 x .06 x 10 = $120
Interest on interest = $358.17 - $200 - $120 = $38.17
Method 1: The formula method
Time-consuming, tedious, but least dependent
Method 2: The financial calculator approach
Quick and easy
Method 3: The spreadsheet method
Most versatile
Method 4: The use of time value tables:
Easy and convenient, but most limiting in scope
Example 3: Compounding of Interest
Let's say you want to know how much money you will have accumulated in your bank account after 4 years, if you deposit all $5,000 of your high-school graduation gifts into an account that pays a fixed interest rate of 5% per year. You leave the money untouched for all four of your college years.
Example 3: Answer
Formula Method:
FV = PV x (1+r)n$5,000(1.05)4=$6,077.53
Calculator method:
Time value table method:
where (FVIF, 5%,4) = Future value interest factor listed under the 5% column and in the 4-year row of the Future Value of $1 table.
Example 4: Future Cost due to Inflation (continued)
Let's say that you have seen your dream house, which is currently listed at $300,000, but unfortunately, you are not in a position to buy it right away and will have to wait at least another 5 years before you will be able to afford it. If house values are appreciating at the average annual rate of inflation of 5%, how much will a similar house cost after 5 years?
3.1 (C) Methods of Solving Future Value Problems (continued)
Example 4 (Answer)
PV = current cost of the house = $300,000
n = 5 years
r = average annual inflation rate = 5%
Solving for FV, we have
= $300,000*(1.276282)
= $382,884.5
So the house will cost $382,884.5 after 5 years.
Calculator method:
Time value table method:
where (FVIF, 5%,5) = Future value interest factor listed under the 5% column and in the 5-year row of the Future Value of $1 table=1.276
Involves discounting the interest that would have been earned over a given period at a given rate of interest.
It is therefore the exact opposite or inverse of calculating the future value of a sum of money.
Such calculations are useful for determining today's price or the value today of an asset or cash flow that will be received in the future.
The formula used for determining PV is as follows:
PV = FV x 1/ (1+r)n
When calculating the present or discounted value of a future lump sum to be received one period from today, we are basically deducting the interest that would have been earned on a sum of money from its future value at the given rate of interest.
i.e., PV = FV/(1+r) since n = 1
So, if FV = 100; r = 10%; and n =1;
When multiple periods are involved…
The formula used for determining PV is as follows:
PV = FV x 1/(1+r)n
where the term in brackets is the present value interest factor for the relevant rate of interest and number of periods involved, and is the reciprocal of the future value interest factor (FVIF)
Example 5: Discounting Interest
Let's say you just won a jackpot of $50,000 at the casino and would like to save a portion of it so as to have $40,000 to put down on a house after 5 years. Your bank pays a 6% rate of interest. How much money will you have to set aside from the jackpot winnings?
Example 5 (Answer)
FV = amount needed = $40,000
N = 5 years; Interest rate = 6%;
PV = FV x 1/ (1+r)n
PV = $40,000 x 1/(1.06)5
PV = $40,000 x 0.747258
PV = $29,890.33 Amount needed to set aside today
Calculator method:
Time value table method:
where (PVIF, 6%,5) = Present value interest factor listed under the 6% column and in the 5-year row of the Present Value of $1 table=0.7473
When solving time value of money problems, especially the ones involving multiple periods and complex combinations (which will be discussed later) it is always a good idea to draw a time line and label the cash flows, interest rates, and number of periods involved.
Growth rate: (continued)
Discount rate:
FIGURE 3.1 Time lines of growth rates and discount rates
Any time value problem involving lump sums -- i.e., a single outflow and a single inflow--requires the use of a single equation consisting of 4 variables, i.e.,PV, FV, r, n
If 3 out of 4 variables are given, we can solve for the unknown one.
FV = PV x (1+r)n solving for future value
PV = FV X [1/(1+r)n] solving for present value
r = [FV/PV]1/n – 1 solving for unknown rate
n = [ln(FV/PV)/ln(1+r)] solving for # of periods
Joanna's Dad is looking to deposit a sum of money immediately into an account that pays an annual interest rate of 9% so that her first-year college tuition costs are provided for. Currently, the average college tuition cost is $15,000 and is expected to increase by 4% (the average annual inflation rate). Joanna just turned 5, and is expected to start college when she turns 18. How much money will Joanna's Dad have to deposit into the account?
Step 1. Calculate the average annual college tuition cost when Joanna turns 18, i.e., the future compounded value of the current tuition cost at an annual increase of 4%.
PV = -15,000; n= 13; i=4%; PMT=0; CPT FV=$24, 976.10
FV= $15,000 x (1.04)13 = $15,000 x 1.66507 = $24,976.10
Step 2. Calculate the present value of the annual tuition cost using an interest rate of 9% per year.
FV = 24,976.10; n=13; i=9%; PMT = 0; CPT PV = $8,146.67 (rounded to 2 decimals)
PV = $24,976.10 x (1/(1+0.09)13=$24,976.10 x 0.32618 = $8,146.67
So, Joanna's Dad will have to deposit $8,146.67 into the account today so that she will have her first-year tuition costs provided for when she starts college at the age of 18.
Bank A offers to pay you a lump sum of $20,000 after 5 years if you deposit $9,500 with them today. Bank B, on the other hand, says that they will pay you a lump sum of $22,000 after 5 years if you deposit $10,700 with them today. Which offer should you accept, and why?
To answer this question, you have to calculate the rate of return that will be earned on each investment and accept the one that has the higher rate of return.
Bank A's Offer:
PV = -$9,500; n=5; FV =$20,000; PMT = 0; CPT I = 16.054%
Rate = (FV/PV)1/n - 1 = ($20,000/$9,500)1/5 – 1 = 1.16054 - 1
= 16.054%
Bank B's Offer:
PV = -$10,700; n=5; FV =$22,000; PMT = 0; CPT I = 15.507%
Rate = (FV/PV)1/n - 1 = ($22,000/$10,700)1/5 – 1
= 1.15507 - 1 = 15.507%
You should accept Bank A's offer, since it provides a higher annual rate of return i.e 16.05%.
You have decided that you will sell off your house, which is currently valued at $300,000, at a point when it appreciates in value to $450,000. If houses are appreciating at an average annual rate of 4.5% in your neighborhood, for approximately how long will you be staying in the house?
PV = -300,000; FV = 450,000; I = 4.5%; PMT = 0; CPT n = 9.21 years or 9 years and 3 months
n =[ ln(FV/PV)]/[ln(1+i)]
n =[ ln(450,000/(300,000])/[ln(1.045)]
= .40547 / .04402 = 9.21 years
Your arch-nemesis, who happens to be an accounting major, makes the following remark, "You finance types think you know it all…well, let's see if you can tell me, without using a financial calculator, what rate of return an investor would have to earn in order to double $100 in 6 years?" How would you respond?
Use the rule of 72 to silence him once and for all, and then prove the answer by compounding a sum of money at that rate for 6 years to show him how close your response was to the actual rate of return…Then ask him politely if he would like you to be his "lifeline" on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"
Rate of return required to double a sum of money = 72/N = 72/6 = 12%
Verification: $100(1.12)6 = $197.38…which is pretty close to double
The accurate answer would be calculated as follows:
PV = -100; FV = 200; n = 6; PMT = 0; I = 12.246%
r = (FV/PV)1/n - 1 = (200/100)1/6 - 1
= 1.12246 -1 = .12246 or 12.246%
You want to save $25,000 for a down payment on a house. Bank A offers to pay 9.35% per year if you deposit $11,000 with them, while Bank B offers 8.25% per year if you invest $10,000 with them. How long will you have to wait to have the down payment accumulated under each option?
Bank A
CPT N = 9.18 years
Bank B
CPT N = 11.558 years

Toronto Blue Jays
Jose Bautista #19
Jose Bautista sparked the Toronto Blue Jays to a 2-1 victory over the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas, with a 3rd inning laser shot for his 300th career home run. The distance of the solo homer to the left field stands was estimated to be 402 feet. In the bottom of the 8th, Blue Jays rookie Danny Barnes made his MLB debut, and he quickly collected his first career strikeout with the second batter her faced by whiffing Houston rookie Alex Bregman, and two batters later, striking out Carlos Correa, both were swinging.
QUOTE: "It's always a friendly reminder that you've been doing this a long time and you've enjoyed some success - you get happy about that, no doubt, but right now we've got more important things to worry about, and I'll enjoy that in the offseason," Bautista said of his home run and team's quest to make the playoffs and win the World Series. FACT: Jose Bautista became the 10th active player in the Majors with 300 home runs, and moved into
FACT: Jose Bautista became the 10th active player in the Majors with 300 home runs, and moved into 138th place of all time, one behind Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby.

Beatification hopes for Kenyan cardinal
The Catholic Church in Kenya plans to ask the Vatican to begin the process of making Cardinal Maurice Otunga a saint. The Pope's ambassador to Kenya, His Excellency Archbishop Alain Paul Lebeaupin, confirmed the news to reporters in Nairobi yesterday, after presiding at a memorial Mass to mark the second anniversary of the death of the former Archbishop of Nairobi. "The process has not begun," the Nuncio said. "This has to be very clear. There is no process as yet. As I told you the rule is five years. The Archdiocese of Nairobi needs a special authorisation from the Holy Father." Archbishop Lebeaupin concelebrated the memorial Mass with the retired Archbishop of Mombasa John Njenga, Bishop Joseph Mairura of Kisii and the auxiliary bishops of Nairobi David Kamau and Anthony Ireri. The homily was delivered by Fr Dominic Wamugunda, Dean of students at the University of Nairobi. He described Cardinal Otunga as "an extremely holy man." Bishop Mairura of Kisii said his diocese had requested the faithful to pray through Otunga and that they should report to him if any miracle happened through the Cardinal's intercession.

We've got BIG News!
Press Release - 5 Feb 2016
Hines submits planning application for significant expansion at Liffey Valley Shopping Centre
Plans include additional 22,000 sq. m. net retail space; 1,800 car parking spaces, a major new civic plaza and a 2,500 seat Olympic-sized indoor ice arena.
Hines Ireland, as asset and development managers has today (5 Feb 2016) announced submission of a planning application for a significant expansion of one of Ireland's best known shopping and leisure destinations at Liffey Valley in West Dublin on behalf of it's co-owners*. Planning permission is being sought for an additional 22,000 sq. m. net retail space together with a mix of other uses. The application, proposes the building of an Olympic standard ice arena with capacity for 2,500 spectators, capable of hosting international ice skating competitions, ice hockey matches and ice entertainment performances. The plan proposes 1,800 additional car parking spaces and a transformation of the Centre's civic spaces with the addition of a major new public space equivalent to a typical European-scale Urban Plaza.
Detailed studies commissioned by Hines into the existing market predict spending and population growth in Liffey Valley's catchment will outstrip growth in supply over the next 5 years, demonstrating the need for new retail space in West Dublin in the coming years.
Commenting on the planning submission, Brian Moran, Senior Managing Director of Hines Ireland, stated "This is a significant yet timely planning proposal for Liffey Valley, underpinned by evidence of emerging demand for this scale of expansion in the future. We are submitting the application now as a strategic forward planning initiative aimed at the sustainable development of Liffey Valley in line with future market needs.
Our research shows that if the planned expansions to all Dublin shopping centres went ahead in the next 5 years, it would add 12% to the retail floor area in the city region. Customer spend and population growth will outstrip this, so we are making this application now as economic growth accelerates to avoid the kind of lack of supply we are currently seeing in office and residential markets.
Over the past 24 months we have been cultivating a new vision for Liffey Valley via a series of works in the Centre and the western end extension. Already a leading employer and contributor to the local community, this new project will maintain Liffey Valley's integral role in the local economic development of West Dublin over the next decade. Now is the right time to forward plan to ensure future retail demand is met within this strategically-located Regional Shopping Centre."
Commenting on today's announcement, Development Director of Hines Ireland, Kevin Ryan, said the new development at Liffey will enhance and complement the existing Centre: "We are proposing a major new glazed public plaza together with the addition of other uses besides retail. This will add a new sense of place and identity to the Centre while linking into the existing facilities and the West End development which is due for completion at the end of 2016.
The new public space will provide an additional mixed leisure entertainment, commercial and retail extension creating an active public environment, which fully resonates with the local community. This, combined with €28 million invested in the complex over the past 18 months, means we are building on a successful retail mix and customer experience and establishing Liffey Valley as one of Ireland's leading shopping and leisure destinations."
Commenting on the provision of a new Olympic sized ice arena, Ice Skating Association of Ireland President Karen O'Sullivan said: "This is a significant and exciting next step for ice skating in Ireland. A new arena will allow us to meet the significant underlying demand for ice skating across Ireland and allow our athletes to train and compete at home; giving us the best chance to develop home-grown international champions of the future. Hines has worked closely with ISAI to include all the features to allow this to become the permanent home of Irish ice skating teams and a top quality international ice sports venue."
In advance of this planning submission, an architectural competition was initiated to come up with a world class design for the proposed new retail and leisure spaces at Liffey Valley. The US architects RTKL were selected having devised a visionary design which envisages transformative new civic spaces being added to the existing building at Liffey Valley.
The project once initiated has the potential to create up to 450 construction employment opportunities during development approximately 1,500 full and part-time jobs upon completion, bringing the total number of people employed within the centre to over 3,700.
* Liffey Valley is owned by clients of HSBC Private Bank (to whom HSBC Alternative Investments Limited acts as investment adviser), Grosvenor Britain & Ireland and Hines Ireland, who also act as Asset and Development Managers.

Check out this short video to learn how many people actually do not support abortion contrary to what the media would have us believe!
Click on the link below.
Our Mission: "To make euthanasia, infanticide, abortion, and destruction of human embryos socially, ethically, and legally unacceptable solutions to human problems and to promote positive alternatives to each of these acts."
"But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child ...
How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion?
As always, we must persuade her with love, and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts. Jesus gave even his life to love us. So the mother who is thinking of abortion, should be helped to love - that is, to give until it hurts her plans, or her free time, to respect the life of her child. The father of that child, whoever he is, must also give until it hurts..." MOTHER TERESA

Post Edited (coopfesta) : 2/25/2005 5:38:12 AM (GMT-7)
My heart goes out to you and is weeping. How many men and women have suffered needlessly at the hands on un-informed or careless doctors? Now an innocent child is at risk. I would certainly get another opinion before making any decisions about reporting. You need to be reasonable and have absolute facts. We tend to emotionally react, when we need to be more realistic. He certainly needs to know what he has done and how it has changed your life, but do it right. Get over these sorrowful hurdles first, then see to the doctor.
I know you are afraid and that hurts my heart too. Are you positive about the health of the baby? You, the baby, your family and the doctors are in my prayers. Stay strong and pray hard. God will lead you and strengthen you. I love you and wish I could be with you in person, but know that I am with you in spirit and holding your hand and if you want, praying with you.
Isaiah 40:29-31
Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel.

CAT-kit: The new Cognitive Affective Training program for improving communication!
Author(s): Tony Attwood, Kirsten Callesen, Annette Møller Nielsen
World-renowned expert on Asperger's Syndrome Dr. Tony Attwood has teamed up with Dr. Kirsten Callesen and Dr. Annette Moller Nielsen of Denmark to create a powerful yet user-friendly tool that gets straight to the core of the thoughts and emotions behind behavior. The CAT-kit offers an easy, hands-on way for young people to communicate with adults, and each other.
Years in the making, the Cognitive Affective Training (CAT) kit is a program that consists of visual, interactive, and customizable communication elements for children and young adults. It is designed to help students become aware of how their thoughts, feelings and actions all interact and, in the process of using the various visual components, they share their insights with others. It is an easy and effective way to work with neurotypical children and young adults as well as with people with developmental disabilities.
The CAT-kit has been proven valuable in a variety of environments:
- Parents report that the materials are excellent resources in conflict resolution among siblings, and for clarifying differing perspectives between age groups. The uncomplicated design and situation-specific uses of the kit will simplify day-to-day conversation and allow parents to deal with displays of emotion or misconceptions that ordinarily would be difficult to manage.
- Teachers and counselors appreciate the CAT-kit for its visual and concrete design. The kit attracts students' attention and encourages them to talk about their thoughts and emotions in a non-defensive manner. Children are able to communicate their attitudes and emotions by means of the visual aids and are not inhibited by their lack of exact wordings.
- Therapists and other professionals consider the CAT-kit an easy, hands-on adaptation of the cognitive-behavioral strategies they are already familiar with. The kit allows professionals to obtain valuable information regarding the thoughts and feelings that exist behind students' behaviors, while providing a non-stressful environment where professionals can work on students' self-awareness and self-control. The CAT-kit elements can easily be integrated into comprehensive CBT programs.
Future Horizons (www.fhautism.com) contribution and history:
Future Horizons was founded in 1996 in the belief that dissemination of information about autism and Asperger's Syndrome through books, conferences, and other media would beneficially impact those who live and work with the condition, personally and professionally. Devoted entirely to supporting and fostering such works and programs, Future Horizons has grown to be a world leader in publications and conferences on autism and Asperger's Syndrome.
Cat-kit Contents
- The Manual. An easy-to-understand guidebook. Read it in about 30 minutes!
- The CAT-organizer. A visual tool to structure conversations about behavior.
- Feelings words and faces. 90 different faces expressing different emotions along with 90 words to associate with them, all with Velcro for use with The Measure.
- The Measure. Similar to a thermometer, divided into intervals. Teach and understand intensity of feelings, interests, emotions.
- The Body. Use it to show the connection between thoughts, feelings, and body behavior.
- My Circles. Explore different levels of relationships, and the who/what/when/where of words, behaviors, and social skills.
- Timetables. Useful not just for schedules, but understanding shifting emotions and evolving perspectives.
- Behavior Palettes. Explore the thoughts and feelings behind behaviors, and their resultant effect on others.
- The Wheel. A visual representation of a person's multi-faceted personality. Promotes self-awareness and builds self-esteem.
CAT-Book Labels. Used to create customized books for each student.

'Goosebumps' review: Just scary enough to entertain young and old
A boy and his friends open up R.L. Stine's books and the pages come to scary life. Rated PG-13 (perilous situations, scary images).
Sure to scare and entertain young and old.
Jack Black, Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush
R.L. Stine's creepy "Goosebumps" books have created many a sleepless night for youngsters too old for "Itsy Bitsy Spider" but not mature enough to face a real nightmare like Freddy Krueger.
Television shows based on Stine's books have provided the same structure for those not old enough to face the likes of "American Horror Story" or "The Strain."
The film "Goosebumps" does the same thing for horror films. An older audience may feel nostalgic for the books or get a smile out of the cornucopia of creatures that come to life. But the movie is aimed at the same youth market that embraces the books.
"Goosebumps" opens like so many of Stine's books. Average teen Zach (Dylan Minnette) moves to a seemingly quiet town. He is attracted to his next door neighbor, Hannah (Odeya Rush), but is given a stern warning by her father (Jack Black) to stay away. He doesn't.
Zach discovers that Hannah's dad is Stine and the author has locked copies of all his books. When one accidentally is opened, the Abominable Snowman chases Zach, Hannah and Champ (Ryan Lee), the traditional goofy nerd who Stine loves to add to his stories.
More books are opened and the group must find a way to trap all the creatures or die trying.
Director Rob Letterman finds the right tempo of terror for the ghoulish attacks. A werewolf battle in a supermarket has as many comic turns as scares. The same goes for all the other creatures, including a cemetery filled with zombies.
The scariest creature is Slappy, a talking ventriloquist dummy voiced by Black. He provides a darkness to the story that lifts up the creepiness levels.
"Goosebumps" is as much fun as it is creepy. It can't survive under the harsh scrutiny of horror film experts, but it is mildly chilling enough to scare youngsters and entertaining enough for adults.

Still haven't seen it. My expectations are low. I have a hunch this is the tepid Return of the Jedi to the Dark Knight's Empire Strikes Back.
I didn't like any of Raimi's Spiderman movies. The casting was piss-weak, and Spiderman really is a character who's inextricable from his medium. Spidey's idiosyncratic fighting poses and cheesy one-liners just don't work in film.
I didn't read this thread, but I just wanted to say I saw Batman & Robin for the first time last week and it was a cinematic masterpiece. It might've been the worst movie I've ever seen, other than Bebe's Kids and Hackers.
[edit] Just realized they cast Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy in the reboot, so I might've inadvertently spoiled something.
Keaton's 1989 batman portrayal FTW.

Anne Hathaway Fighting Kristin Chenoweth For Dolly Parton Biopic Role?
Kristin Chenoweth and Anne Hathaway are not fighting over who will play Dolly Parton in a supposed upcoming movie about her life, despite a new tabloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this claim. We're told it's "absurd."
According to Star, Chenoweth and Hathaway are "workin' nine to five to win the lead role." In a totally made-up quote that bizarrely includes Chenoweth's age, a fake source for the tabloid says, "Dolly gets to choose who plays her, and she's shocked at how hard Kristin, 47, and Anne are campaigning." The magazine's phony source goes on to note that the 14 years younger Hathaway "told Dolly she's a better fit because of her younger age, and she also believes she's a stronger singer."
The tabloid further alleges that both Chenoweth and Hathaway "have been bombarding Dolly with flowers and phone calls to win her over but her decision is still up in the air." The magazine's touted "insider" also adds such non-insider information as "Anne is an Oscar winner, but Kristin looks more like Dolly."
First off, as far as Gossip Cop can tell, there's no Parton movie in the works. On the small screen, NBC aired in December "Coat of Many Colors," the first of its three-series of specials about Parton's childhood. The next special is titled after her song "Jolene," and the third special will be "The Seeker." In any event, Hathaway is most assuredly not fighting with Chenoweth over a so-called "Dolly Parton biopic." Hathaway's rep exclusively tells Gossip Cop the Star story is "absurd."

Visual Cryptography Authentication for Data Matrix Codes
An Identity Card is any document which may be used to verify aspects of an identity. If issued in the form of a small, mostly standard-sized card, it is usually called an Identity Card (IC). It plays in the society, threats of fraud, tampering, and identity theft arises. Thus, security and authenticity of these ID cards and their owners prove to be of much necessity. This paper goal is to make use of Visual Cryptography and 2D data matrix codes to address these issues. Visual Cryptography is a secret sharing scheme where a confidential image is encrypted into noise-like secure shares, which can be reconstructed visually by superimposing the shares.

Butter Your Biscuit, Monthly
Carrie-Bailey Morrie of Callie's Charleston Biscuits has been busy. The popular biscuits she creates and delivers are based on the recipes of her mother and business partner Callie White, one of Charleston's favorite caterers. The pair just celebrated the one-year anniversary of their biscuit business, and people have found the snack-sized morsels, which come in four varieties, so delectable that Carrie and Callie have had to think of a way to provide their biscuit-crazed customers with a steady, year-round flow. Their idea: The Biscuit of the Month Club. "We have a lot of return customers and this way they don't have to place an order every month – it's automatic," says Morrie. "It's easy for them and easy for us! Not to mention it's a perfect gift for the holidays – like a 'Wine of the Month' club, but yummier!" The club will allow you to order a three- or six-month supply of biscuits with a convenient, one-time order. For more information on Callie's Charleston Biscuits or to place your order, visit www.calliesbiscuits.com. –John Vahey
