Hi there,
Today, I want to share with you the secret of wealth. I've read it in my favorite book " Sun Flower" . So I hope it help you to keep your money and become a millionaire .
"What most people don't realize is that wealth isn't the same as income. If you make $1 million a year and spend $1 million, you are not getting wealthier, you're just living high. Wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend.
How do you become wealthy? There, too, most people have it wrong. It's rarely luck or inheritance or even intelligence that builds fortunes. Wealth is more often the inexorable result of a persons hard work, perseverance and, most of all, self-discipline.
So millionaires are dull? By Hollywood standards, maybe. But these dull folks have something exciting to teach us about money.
Attitude is the greatest difference between millionaires and the rest of us. The rich follow certain rules. Here are some of the most important ones :
1. Live below your means
The most successful accumulators of wealth spend far less than they can afford on house, cars, vacations and entertainment. Why? Because these things offer little or no return. The wealthy would rather put their money into investments or their business. It's an attitude.
Millionaires understand that when you buy a luxury house, you buy a luxury life-style too. Your property taxes sky-rocket, along with the cost of utilities and insurance, and the prices of nearby services, such as grocery stores, tend to be higher . The only thing worse than a big house, is the flood of problems that comes with it.
The rich man's attitude can also be seen in his car. Many drive old unpretentious sedans, Sam Walton billionaire founder of the U.S.Wal-Mart stores, Inc., drove a pick up truck. Another fellow said, "I buy them by the pound – the biggest car I can for the least amount of money."
2. Emphasize net worth; deemphasize income.
Most millionaire measure success by net worth, not income . Instead of taking their money home, the plow as much as they can into their businesses, stock portfolios and other assets. Why? Because the government doesn't tax wealth, it taxes income. And the more income you bring home for consumption, the more the government takes.
The person who piles up net worth fastest tends to put every dollar he can into investments, not consumption. All the while, of course, he's reinvesting his earnings from investments and watching his net worth soar. That's the attitude as well.
3. Cultivate good advice.
The best wealth-buiders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice. Those who spend heavily on cars, boats and house, tend to skimp on investment advice. Those who skimp on the luxuries are usually more willing to pay top dollar for good legal and financial advice .
They are alos always looking for new investment possibilities. The most mysterious part of wealth accumulation may be this sixth sense that some millionaires develop for hidden opportunities.
One of the finest example I've come across was a doctor. He was renowned for buying a parcel of land just before a shopping mall located across the street, and stock in a new bank just as it was taking off.
Where did he get information? From his patients . While rendering care, he learned of investment opportunities before they were common knowledge. And he was shrewd enough to separate the good tips for the bad.
4. Develop a plan.
The self-made rich develop clear goals for their money. They many wish to retire early, or they many want to leave an estate to their children. The goals vary, but two things are consistent: They want to save by age 50, perhaps – and they work unceasingly toward that goal.
Start developing a plan now, regardless of your age. How much do you want to accumulate, and by what age? Then work backward. To meet your goal, how much should you save every year?
One thing may surprise you. If you make wealth – not just income – your goal, the luxury house you've been dreaming about won't seen so alluring. You'll have the attitude.

Not only is Carizma within the fabulous grounds of Sugar Hill frequented by the well to do and famous (as well as us ordinary folk!), the view is magnificent and the menu extensive and affordable. The restaurant is open to everyone and access is easy. You will see their signs from the road.

Poor neglected blog. Way too many things have been happening, culminating with the death of my PC, but I'll make a quick synopsis of the last 6 weeks, and try to get back on schedule.
Cosmos update - he's PERFECT! I'll post a video when I get him running in the right direction.
Travels - Milpitas was uneventful except for dinner with Rob and Judi, Sandy and Bruce from SAR. I think the next weekend was Las Vegas, when everything started for fall apart. Mary Kay and I were hit from behind by a hit-and-run driver. Car was towed; got a ride to the venue in the back of the cop car. MK got pics, but I'll probably never have those to post, so you'll just have to believe me. We both had the usual whiplash issues, and I've spent a bazillion hours on the phone with assorted insurance people. Still can't get a copy of the accident report. I"ll post an update when this all gets sorted out. So the Dr. says no lifting of standing for the next week, so that put both of us out of the Denver show, and then the show year was finished with Carson.
The next day I had to make a quick run down to Belize to do a GPS feasibility study for a resort developer. I'm hoping to make a GPS sale and return in January to train them.
Tucked in the middle of this was a run down to Albuquerque to teach some classes as China Phoenix and spend a few lovely days with Paula and Teresa.
Weather - Damned cold. Down to -8°F yesterday, that's -22° for you centigrade folks. But I got a pallet of pellets for the wood stove at a very good price, so I'm not being miserly with the heat.
Socks - None lately. I'm trying to use up some of my stash, and bowls are much faster, so bowls it is!
Designs - I'm not plating anything until it's time to get ready for the January shows. I finally finished the zentangle alphabet that I've been dragging around for months (which can't be called "zentangle"). I was REALLY sick of it by the time I got to the last couple of letters.
PC - New one arrived while I was in Belize, so Creighton got stuck with all the setup. Can't say I'm enthralled with Windows7. WAY to much superfluous crap that I don't need or want.
So that brings us up to today, Turkey Day. I'm happily at home, the snow is falling, and all well with the world. Wish the same to all of you.

Precipitated by this weekend's wonderful gathering, I feel the need to make this overdue statement: Thank you. Seeing so many of you reminded me just how much I loved my college years, a large part because of you people. Now we're all 'grown-up' or something like that, and I find myself wary of falling into the trap of constant reminiscing of years gone by. Yet to see you all in person; it wasn't just the college years, it was who you were and who you are, still vibrant, funny, intelligent and crazy people that I adore. Thank you for being so awesome.
When someone I see weekly asks me how I've been, it's easy to get bogged down in details like a sucky job, a current sickness or recent problem. When asked that question by someone who I haven't seen in years, it forces me to look at the bigger picture and say "You know what? I'm doing pretty damn good". Thank you for listening.
And now, an apology. My social skills are a rag-tag collection of stolen goods; tricks and techniques I have learned by watching others. I really have none of my own. And so if I was awkward/shy/quiet/loud/rambling/standoff
But of course, best wishes above all else to the newly wedded couple, who had a beautiful ceremony and a wonderful reception. Sorry that my guest book entry kinda, well... sucks. I was taken off guard!

Representatives of graduate students at the University of Maryland are disappointed in the lack of input they had in the development of a 2017 quality of life survey.
Although the graduate school's website says the survey was "administered in conjunction" with the Graduate Student Government, GSG Public Relations Vice President Katie Brown said the student government's involvement was limited. She believes the graduate school should have shared the survey results with the GSG before they were analyzed.
"We helped promote the survey — they used our name," she said. "We were putting our reputation on the line."
Graduate school spokeswoman Mary Carroll-Mason said in an email that the graduate school withheld the data out of concern for participants' privacy, saying, "While the survey was anonymous, people's responses could potentially identify them."
The survey, which garnered responses from more than 2,000 graduate students, had questions ranging from demographic information to feedback on the ways these students feel unsupported by this university. Financial concerns were a common thread among the open-ended responses.
Its results were compiled in a 109-page report and released on the graduate schools website earlier this week — seven months after they were collected.
Carroll-Mason attributed the delayed release to a staffing change at the graduate school — the research analyst who did most of the survey's analysis left the university to take a fellowship with Harvard University.
The GSG's primary contribution to the survey's development and administration was encouraging graduate students to complete the survey, Brown said. Before the results were published on Jan. 29, the body had not seen them. The graduate school also did not notify Brown or current GSG President Michael Goodman of the report's impending release, she said.
In response, Carroll-Mason wrote in an email that Graduate School Assistant Dean Jeffrey Franke was originally scheduled to present the survey's results to the GSG assembly in November, but it was bumped from the agenda when the meeting ran long with impeachment talks. The GSG never rescheduled the presentation, Carroll-Mason wrote.
The Graduate Assistant Advisory Committee, a body elected by graduate assistants at this university to raise their employment concerns with the graduate school, was not included in this survey's development, according to the graduate school website. The graduate school "didn't get input from the body legally created to address graduate student information," Brown said.
Committee member Will Howell said the survey was overdue — according to the graduate school website, the last time the graduate student population was surveyed was in 2010. Within the last two years, the committee administered two of its own surveys to graduate student employees independently of the graduate school — one in October 2016 and one this past December.
From the over 1,000 responses the committee received from their 2016 survey, the committee identified three specific challenges facing most graduate student employees. According to their report published in November 2016, these are, "an unlivable salary, a system of overwork, and a system of confusing and ineffective policies."
Last month, in a follow-up survey based on the issues uncovered in the 2016 survey, the committee found that the average graduate student employee worked for 27 hours. A full-time graduate student employee should work about 20 hours per week, according to the graduate school's website.

The inspiration for these travel diaries that I'm doing with my kids right now are based on a few truisms in my personal life.
I loath crafts. LOATH them.
If we have a craft scheduled into our day, I will put it off until last and then find a way to not have to do it. To me they are not fun, they are stressful. Crafts with kids are something akin to getting your teeth drilled at the dentist, except the dentist really isn't that bad.
Karen and I were talking about that the other day. Do you know that if she has a craft scheduled to do with her kids she actually has to exert self control to make herself make them wait till their seat work is done? They use the craft as a reward. I know. Crazy.
Also, I realize that Karen and I have created a curriculum that is craft heavy. That's because she assures me that a lot of people are like her and like crafts. I am perfectly willing to believe that I am the only person in the whole world that hates crafts. Also, most of the crafty explorations come from her. The printables and discussions are mine (mostly). And science experiments do not count as crafts. I get excited about those. So there.
My kids are geographically illiterate.
My kids couldn't find Germany on a map of the world (or even Europe) though we'd been studying geography and creating maps year in and year out for their entire lives. Maddening. I blame their father.
So not rich.
We don't have enough money to actually take the kids around the world, but I noticed that once we actually visit a place closer to home they remember it forever, not just the trip, but the location and where it is relative to other places.
I'm sure if we could fly to Italy they would remember not only its location, but its culture and landmarks. Alas.
I am lazy.
Any lesson plan that takes too much effort (read any effort) is probably not going to actually happen no matter how optimistically I write it in my homeschool planner at the beginning of the year. It took me a long time to acknowledge this about myself. But since I realized that it's just part of my personality, I've found I can work around it and we can have a much more fun and productive homeschool.
I believe in printables!
On to the Travel Diaries
Obviously based on all of the above, I couldn't craft my way through the world. So, thought I, how can I make geography memorable and fun, and not torture for my kids who hate writing and (most of whom) are struggling with reading.
We could travel around the world! Not really, because of the money problem, but virtually. (By the by, Unit 4-9 deals with economics and scarcity. I just think of it every time I think of money. Scarcity. That's all. Thought I'd mention it.)
So we bought these enchanting little travel diaries on Amazon and the passport stamp stickers to go with them.
- So what we do is have one child choose a passport sticker and everyone pastes it into his book on the next blank page.
- Then we find whichever country the sticker takes us to on our world map.
- Next, the kids head, each to his own, computer/tablet/device and look up that country. They find something that interests them about the country.
- Then they write about that thing/place/food as though they were actually there and actually seeing and doing the information they found online. Watching videos of sites in the country is a great way to experience it in a small way without the plane fare.
They each write as many or as few words as they like. We do not check spelling or grammar. We treat it like it were actually their personal travel diary from their exotic trips around the world.
They generally want to draw a map of the country so they can plot the place they visited. Sometimes they draw pictures to illustrate. In the picture above (two pictures back, how very awkward of me to mention here, now you'll be scrolling, scrolling) Harrison actually drew a picture of a Lego train at Legoland, but I was too anxious to snap the picture so you poor souls don't get to see it.
We spend several days in each country. We leave when the kids are ready.
The whole activity takes 10-15 minutes each day. So it can easily be paired with other geography activities and curriculum. It would go perfect with any year of Layers of Learning to add more practice with finding countries on a map.
Karen's Family
Karen decided to get her kids their own travel journals too. They call them World Explorer Journals, and they actually take them as they explore the world. They use them the same way for the most part, except they also do more actual traveling since her husband is a pilot. Her kids go on lots of virtual trips online just like mine do, and they also take their World Explorer Journals with them when they go on vacations. They have been able to add some real stamps in their passports.
See The World!
The travel diaries have also made my kids want to actually see the world, a desire I want them to have. A desire I have. Until I started studying the world with them and especially before we started Layers of Learning and all the research that entails, I really was pretty satisfied staying at home. But the more I learn the more I want to go out and shake hands with the whole world in a manner of speaking. It is no longer enough to just read about or watch documentaries on far off places.
Personally I love that aspect of the geography units in Layers of Learning. They make me love the world.
Look at this unit on the Balkans, for example. Have you ever thought, "You know where I really want to go? The Balkans." No, you probably haven't. But after you dive in to Unit 2-9, you'll want to go. Because you'll realize that only in Montenegro are you ever to likely see an oro dance in person.
Additional Layers
- We've been playing this Professor Noggin Countries of the World game over and over lately.
I know people get all down on memorization. But I think it's extremely useful to have knowledge at your fingertips. When I read a news headline about something happening in the world, I do not have to go look up where that country is or which countries are its neighbors. I already know. It is instantaneous and my understanding of the world event in the news is far more extensive and useful than if I were scratching my head over where Montenegro is. Ah ha! You say. Montenegro is in the Balkans. (See above).
So I want my kids to have the world map more or less memorized. When we play Countries of the World the kids have to walk up to our wall map and find the country before they get their question. It doesn't take long before they know where every country in the game is located.

Its size varies with the mission it is given within the overall strategic operation. An army is the largest peacetime ground maneuver formation at the operational level. In wartime, the composition and size of an army also varies dependent upon mission. An army may be either tank or combined arms. Its structure provides adequate control and ground-based support for the divisions assigned to it during the army's participation in a front operation. Divisions and smaller organizations are found at the tactical level.
In a static situation, or in the defense, wire communications will be installed. Command posts on the ground can be expected to be well dispersed and camouflaged. Additionally, in a static situation, an alternate command post probably will be established to assume command if the main command post is destroyed. The issuance of orders does not insure that they will be carried out or even understood. Therefore, the Soviets place a great emphasis on supervision after the order is issued. The chief ofstaff is responsible to the commander for the overall organization of staff supervision.

Normally, the battery commander is collocated with the commander of the tank company that he is tasked to support, and communications between the two commanders are accomplished face to face. The battery commander maintains radio communications with his battalion commander on the artillery battalion command net (FM) using an R1 07 radio.

I tried to download this scenery, but my virus scanner says that there is an virus inside and removed it, is this a false positive?

What did your scanner say it was exactly??
- January 12, 2014 at 7:20 AM
Hi Andre,
My virusscanner says it is a Heuristic virus
- January 12, 2014 at 7:39 AM
- Pirx said...
My anti-virus G-Data also warns me. Perhaps because they are .exe files.

I've got Avast installed, scanned it twice and nothing popped.
- January 12, 2014 at 11:13 AM
Kaspersky got it too...

- DAndre Newman said...
Its freeware Kaman. Did you actually read the article????????
- January 12, 2014 at 12:29 PM
- Kaman said...
I meant download , i did read the article,... No my question was more about the viirus pb.
- January 12, 2014 at 12:48 PM
- Bilal Mogh said...
Version does not contain virus
Protection program only alerts
That's where all the virus is an an executable file exe
- January 12, 2014 at 6:13 PM
No alert by Norton....only advises that it is a relatively new file without any history to prove its reliability
- January 12, 2014 at 8:35 PM
Nice scenery, but when loading at the gate, I get a building crash....

I when to the website I downloaded lakatia airport 130 miles from Damacus. Those two airports are very very. When need something like that closer of Dubai. No virus, I have kaspersky.
- January 13, 2014 at 8:41 AM
@ Luc: I have "crash" deactivated for these reasons and also because it's not realistic. Just my two cents :)
- January 13, 2014 at 9:49 AM
What the Installer realy does is overwriting original FSX libraries (BGL's).files.
Because the guys of Syria Sim are that stupid to make their own Libraries and give them the same names already used by FSX.
Result : after Un-installing you will lost your airport traffic, vegetation and lots more . .
There should be a death penalty for this practices at least Syrai Sim guys should be banned by IVAO
Be clever and install the scenery first in a Dummy FSX Folder.
You'll see what I mean.
- January 14, 2014 at 11:42 AM
well give them a chanse.. we all start somewhere.. but it is a critical problem as it is right they remove default stuff while removing as they for some wired reason install default FSX files already in there, and there for by uninstalling errase default files of FSX.. as note there privius project seems beter to me but that can just be me.. but take note before you install so you dont risk loosing your default files by a un-install

Country Side Engagement Shoot | Mount Gilead, Ohio
It's my favorite time of year for engagement sessions. I just love all the greens and beautiful, dreamy light this time of year. You'd never know it was a hot sticky day because Nick and Taylor are so photogenic and fun to be around. We even got the rambunctious, adorable huskies in the mix.
Nick and Taylor, thank you for allowing me to capture your engagement photos and I look forward to your wedding this coming fall. Stay tuned folks, its going to be a good one.

February 2018 - Early Bloomers
Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2018 7:39 pm
I don't know whether you're the same, I always eagerly await the first flowers in the greenhouse, to compete with the snowdrops and crocuses outside. I've already had an Aloe with several flower stems, and one or two Mammillaria flowers. My 'winners' usually are a Stenocactus and a Turbinicarpus valdezianus. What is flowering for you between January and March?

The parents of a hospital nurse shot to death in her Van Nuys condominium in 1986 held a news conference Monday to ask the public's help in finding their daughter's killer.
Sherri Rae Rasmussen, 29, director of critical care nursing at Glendale Adventist Medical Center, was killed Feb. 24, 1986, when she surprised one or more burglars who beat her and shot her once before stealing her car, said Police Detective Lyle O. Mayer.
Nels and Loretta Rasmussen came from Tucson, Ariz., to the Van Nuys police station to renew their offer of a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killers. Sherri Rasmussen's husband, John Ruetten, an engineer in San Diego, and sister, Theresa Lane, of Loma Linda, joined them in asking anyone with knowledge of the crime to come forward.
"It's been nearly two years of hell not knowing who did this to Sherri or why," Ruetten said. "You try to move on, but it's hard to do when you're always going over in your mind how it might have happened."

Today I saw a new ENT doctor. I wasn't really sure how it was going to go. A couple years ago I started seeing a different doctor in the same practice and then quit going due to insurance, not happy with the doctor and too many bad customer service experiences with the staff over the course of a week. Now I'm really needing to re-establish a relationship with an ENT and this is the only practice close to where I live. One handy aspect of it is they're two floors up from my pulmonologist so it'd be easy for them to chat and compare notes. I ended up calling a few weeks ago to find out my doctor had left the practice so they needed to transfer me to someone else. I'm not sure what the other doctors are like there, but I feel like I got a good one.
Dr S was extremely friendly and personable. He was interested in what I had to say and actually listened. He also didn't shove his fingers in my mouth or jerk my head around by my tongue like the last one did. Dr S tried to get a handle on my history, what I've been dealing with, what my current treatment is and figure out what he could do to assist. I have five doctors so it's nice when one wants to be a team player. He checked me out, scoped my vocal chords and I'm going to be following up for a video laryngoscopy. I felt like I was in good hands after the visit and am confident he'll be a contributing factor in my treatment.
Later today I cooked a pot of pinto beans. This may not sound like a big deal, but it takes at least six hours from start to finish after you sort, clean, soak and cook the beans. I used to cook all kinds of things all the time. Saturdays were often dedicated to trying new things and cooking large quantities of something to eat the entire following week. The past few years I've hardly cooked anything at all either because I couldn't physically stand in the kitchen that long or I've just been too exhausted to even think about it. I feel like it's a tiny accomplishment on my road to recovery from this summer. I'm still on tons of medicine and still taking prednisone, but at least I'm able to have intelligent conversations now and spend a little time slow cooking something I enjoy eating.

Pale Pink Tank Top, Forever 21, $1.80
Floral Skirt, Forever 21, $6.80
Black Tights, Forever 21, $2.60
Black Blazer, TjMaxx, $16.50
Black Ankle Boots, Aldo, clearance, $19.99
Media Tip: Always bring a jacket that could work with your outfit. For me, my black leather jacket made the trip to press level — because freezing to death just isn't fun for anyone.

Your grade in this course consists of ten weekly quizzes (30%), a midterm exam (35%), and a final exam (35%).
Quizzes: Quiz questions are based on the assigned readings and lectures. This means you cannot and will not do well in this class unless you do the assigned readings and attend the lectures. The quizzes will always be taken on Wednesday. I will drop the lowest quiz grade to allow for unexpected events. No make-up quizzes are available. No exceptions.
Midterm: The midterm date is October 16th. You cannot make-up the midterm under any circumstance. If you know ahead of time of some extenuating circumstance that will prevent you from taking the midterm, you must contact me ahead of time (i.e. at least 48 hours prior to the exam). In the event that you are excused from taking the midterm upon contacting me, I will shift your midterm grade towards your final (so your midterm will be worth 0% and your final 60%). If you do not contact me ahead of time and do not take the midterm, you will receive a zero. No exceptions.
Final: The final exam date is to be announced. The final exam is comprehensive and you must take it on this date. If you know ahead of time of some extenuating circumstance that will prevent you from taking the final on the scheduled date, you must contact me ahead of time (i.e. at least one week prior to the exam). In the event that you are excused from taking the final on the scheduled date upon contacting me, we will arrange an alternate date. If you do not contact me ahead of time and do not take the final on the scheduled date, you will receive a zero. No exceptions.
The grading scale is as follows:
Academic integrity
George Mason University's Honor Code requires all community members to maintain the highest standards of academic honesty and integrity. Cheating, plagiarism, lying, and stealing are all prohibited. Honor Code violations will be reported to the Honor Committee. Plagiarism is not accepted (statements from Macon web site: http://mason.gmu.edu/montecin/plagiarism/htm#plagiarism). The use of electronic devices is prohibited during an exam or a quiz; failure to comply with this will result in your failure of the assignment and potentially the failure of the class. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the GMU Honor Code, which is stated in the George Mason University Undergraduate Catalog.
Homework 1:Macro
ExercisesSolve the following differential equations:1) \(\dot{y}+y=4\)\(y\left(0\right)=0\)\(\dot{y}+y=0\)\(\dot{y}=-y\)\(\frac{dy}{dt}=-y\)\(dy=-ydt\)\(-\frac{1}{y}dy=dt\)\(-\int\frac{1}{y}dy=\int dt\)\(-ln(y) +c_a = t + c_b\) With \(c_b - c_a = c\)\(e^{ln(y)} = e^{-t} e^c\) With \(A=e^{c}\)\(y=Ae^{-t}\)\(\dot{y}=-Ae^{-t}\)Now we substitute using the conditions:\(-Ae^{-0}+0=4\)\(A=-4\)\(y=4-\dot{y}\)\(y=4+Ae^{-t}\)\(y=4+Ae^{-t}\)\(y=4-4e^{-t}\)2) \(\dot{y} =23\)\(y(0)=1\)\(\frac{dy}{dt} =23\)\(dy=23dt\)\(\int dy = 23\int dt\)
Econ 340: Week 2
Summation notation
- Take the sum \(x_1+x_2+x_3+...+x_n\)
- We can express this sum using the summation symbol \(\Sigma\): \(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i=x_1+x_2+x_3+...+x_n\)
- What does the notation mean? What does the superscript mean? The subscript?
- IMPORTANT: Whenever I do not specify superscript and subscript, always assume \(i=1, n=n\)
- How do we interpret the following? \(\Sigma_{i=30}^{35}N_i\)
- Do example 1, p56
Rules of sums & Newton's binomial formula
- Additivity property: \(\Sigma(a_i+b_i)=\Sigma a_i + \Sigma b_i\)
- Homogeneity property: \(\Sigma (c\cdot a_i)=c\Sigma a_i\), where \(c\) is a constant
- From the homogeneity property, it follows that \(\Sigma c=n\cdot c\). Why?
- Do example 2 p60: Derive the fact that the sum of the difference between \(x_i\) and its arithmetic mean \(\mu_x\) is equal to zero: \(\Sigma (x_i-\mu_x)=0\)
Useful formulas
- Gauss' formula: \(\sum i= \frac{1}{2} n(n+1)\)
- Proof:
- \(x=1+2+...+(n-1)+n\)
- We can rewrite this as \(x=n+(n-1)+...+2+1\)
- From these we can write \(2x=[n+(n-1)+...+2+1]+[1+2+...+(n-1)+n]\)
- Rearranging we get \(2x=(n+1)+(n-1+2)+...+(2+n-1)+(1+n)=(n+1)+(n+1)+...+(n+1)+(n+1)\)
- Finally, we get \(2x=n\left(n+1\right)\). Solving for \(x\): \(x=\frac{1}{2}n(n+1)\). QED
- Two other useful formulas are \(\sum i^2=\frac{1}{6}n(n+1)(2n+1)\) and \(\sum i^3=[\sum i]^2\)
- Newton's binomial formula: \((a+b)^m= a^m+\left( \begin{array}{c} m \\ 1 \end{array} \right)a^{m-1}b+...+\left( \begin{array}{c} m \\ m-1 \end{array} \right)ab^{m-1}+\left( \begin{array}{c} m \\ m \end{array} \right)b^m\) where the binomial coefficients \(\left( \begin{array}{c} m \\ k \end{array} \right)=\frac{m(m-1)...(m-k+1)}{k!}\) are defined for \(m=1, 2, ...\) and \(k=0,1,2,...,m\)
- Application of Newton's formula:
- \((a+b)^3=a^3+\left( \begin{array}{c} 3 \\ 1 \end{array} \right)a^{2}b+\left( \begin{array}{c} 3 \\ 2 \end{array} \right)ab^{2}+b^3\). We can use the formula from above to write \((a+b)^3=a^3+\frac{3}{1}a^{2}b+ \frac{3\cdot 2}{1\cdot 2}ab^{2}+b^3=a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3\)
Double sums
- It's possible to calculate the sum of sums by using the following formula: \(\sum_{i=1}^m \sum_{j=1}^na_{ij}\)
- Do example 1 p65: \(\sum_{i=1}^3\sum_{j=1}^4(i+2j)=\sum_{i=1}^3[(i+2)+(i+4)+(i+6)+(i+8)]=\sum_{i=1}^3(4i+20)=(4+20)+(8+20)+(12+20)=84\)
A few aspects of logic
- Do example 1, p66
- Propositions: assertions that are either true or false. When an assertion contains one or more variables for which it can be true or false we say it is an open proposition
- The implication arrow: \(\Longrightarrow\)
- \(P\Longrightarrow Q\) you read as "p implies q" or "if p then q"
- The logical equivalence arrow: \( \Longleftrightarrow\)
- \(P \Longleftrightarrow Q\) you read as "p if and only if q"
- Do example 2 p67
- Necessary and sufficient conditions:
- If \(P \Longrightarrow Q\) we say that p is sufficient condition for q
- If \(P\Longrightarrow Q\) we say that q is necessary condition for p
- Explain
Solving equations
- Do examples 3-4 pp68-69
Mathematical proofs
- Every mathematical theorem can be formulated as an implication. Indeed, all proofs of mathematical theorems rely on the establishment of implications between premises (or assumptions) and conclusions.
- Examples of proof methods:
- Direct proof: We start from the premises and we keep deriving their implications until we get to the conclusions.
- Indirect proof: We deny the conclusions and show that the premises must also be false. The indirect proof relies on the fact that \(P\Longrightarrow Q\) is equivalent to \(\backsim Q \Longrightarrow \backsim P\) (non-q implies non-p)
- Do example 1 p72
Essentials of set theory
- We partially covered this last week
- You should be familiar with the following notions/notations
- Set and elements: \(S= \{e_1, e_2, e_3, ..., e_n\}\)
- Two sets, A and B, are said to be equal if every element in A is also an element in B
- Do examples
Property of a set
- We can use the following notation to specify the property of a set: \(S=\{e: p\}\), where e=typical elements and p= defining properties
- Example: the budget set. \(B=\{(x, y): px+py\leq m, x\geq 0, y\geq 0\}\). Explain.
Set membership
- We covered this in class last week. Remember the meaning of the following symbols:
- \(\subset\)
- \(\subseteq\)
- \(\in\)
- \(\notin\)
Set operations
- Union: \(\cup \). All the elements that belong to at least one of the sets.
- Intersection: \(\cap\). All the elements that belong to both sets.
- Minus: \(\setminus\) .All the elements that belong to one set but not the other.
- Do example 1 p76
- Other important notions:
- Disjoint set: the empty set. For example, the intersection between two sets that do not share any members
- The universal set, \(\Omega\): The set containing all potential subsets of a family of sets.
- Complement set: \(A^c=\Omega\setminus A\). It contains all elements of the universal set not contained in A.
Demand for insurance
Let's \(EU=X^\alpha\) be an individual's VNM expected utility function, where \(\alpha<1\), that is to say, the individual is risk averse. The individual's income is \(W_a\) with probability \(p\) and \(W_b\) with probability \((1-p)\). The individual has access to the insurance market, where he buys \(I\) units of insurance at the price \(s\) per dollar of insurance. The individual's expected utility maximization problem is
Max \(EU=p(W_a-sI)^{\alpha}+(1-p)[W_b+(1-s)I]^{\alpha}\) with respect to \(I\)
The first order condition yields
\(-\alpha s p (W_a-sI)^{\alpha-1}+\alpha (1-p)(1-s)[W_b+(1-s)I]^{\alpha-1}=0\)
Rearranging yields
Exponentiating both sides of the equation by \(\frac{1}{\alpha-1}\) yields
Solving for the optimal value of \(I^*\) gives us the individual's demand for insurance
Note that the demand for insurance is increasing in \(W_a\) and decreasing in \(W_b\), as well as increasing with respect to the probability of the event against which the individual is insuring (this is a bit roundabout to derive, but it follows from the fact that \(\alpha<1\).
Problem Set #1
Introduction to Differential Equations.
Solve the following differential Equations:
1) \(\frac{dy}{dt}+y\left(t\right)\ =\ 4\ \ ;\ \ y\left(0\right)=0\)
\(\frac{dy}{dt}+y\left(t\right)\ =\ 0\)
\(\frac{dy}{dt}=\ -y\left(t\right)\)
\(dy\ =\ -y\left(t\right)dt\)
\(\int dy=\int -y\left(t\right)dt\)-
\(y(t) = Ae^{-t}\)
\(0+y(t) = 4\)
General Solution
Specific Solution
2) \(\frac{dy}{dt}=\ 23\ \ ;\ \ y\left(0\right)=1\)
\(dy\ =\ 23dt\)
\(\int dy\ =\ \int 23dt\)
\(y\left(t\right)\ =\ 23t+c\)

Econ 365: Week 1
The facts of the social sciences
Who is F.A. Hayek?
- Hayek was a 20th century Austrian economist
- He work on a variety of issues, from the theory of the trade cycle to monetary theory, from epistemology and philosophy of economics to legal theory, from political philosophy to the history of ideas
- He was awarded the nobel prize in 1974 for these contributions
Why did he write this paper and who were the targets?
- Starting in 1937 (Economics and Knowledge) Hayek started noticing that economics was gravitating more and more towards methodological formalism. He though this was due to the uncritical adoption of the (supposed) methodological principles of the physical sciences
- Thus Hayek's criticism of behaviorism, the belief that human beings respond to external stimuli in completely passive and therefore exactly predictable ways
- Hayek adopted a sophisticated formulation of methodological dualism (later he rejected this notion thanks to the influence and Popper and shifted towards his own formulation of methodological universalism based on the notion of explanation of the principle)
The methodology of the social sciences
- What do we mean by "social sciences"?
- Demography vs economics, law, sociology, linguistic etc.
- The origins of scientific knowledge in the social sciences
- The role of introspection: We know more about human behavior thanks to the fact that we intuitively understand our fellow men than we would if we were to merely observe them as if they were atoms
- Example: The Marxian and the train station
- One of the most important problems in the social sciences is that of classification
- Individual things, facts, and events do not exist out there
- In the social sciences, the things are what people think they are
- It's not physical properties that matter, but the relationship between objects (even non existing objects) and the mind of individual agents. As social scientists, we must impute these meanings in order to make sense of our observations
- Take money: the notion of money (universally/generally accepted medium of exchange, store of value) must exist in the mind of the social scientist before he can ever identify it
- Of course, the human mind is fallible, thus we can make mistake
- The monology assumption: the LOGICAL structure of the human mind is the same across cultures, ethnicities, etc.
- Human action implies the universal notion of purposefulness (means-ends, causation, time, etc.)
- Praxeology as "only a kind of logic." We can derive all of the fundamental laws of economics starting from the notion of choice.
- Derive the law of demand.
- Once we have classified human behavior and the emergent results of human behavior in society (exchange, conflict) we can start to look outside the window and make sense of it
- This is where timology comes in (interpretation of human events through the imputation of meaning onto the minds of the agents)
- What is a battle? What is a revolution? Can we observe a government?
- What we refer to as "historical facts" are really just theories
- Social theory is EPISTEMOLOGICALLY and LOGICALLY prior to historical experience and therefore analysis
- There is no such thing as historical analysis without theory. There is only untested and tested (logically and empirically) theories
- A theory that has been so derived can never be falso (as long as it does not contain logical inconsistencies) but merely irrelevant for the purpose at hand
The economic approach
Who is Gary Becker?
- Arguably the greatest social scientist of the second half of the 20th century
- Like Hayek, wrote on a variety of issues that were thought to be outside of the scope of economics proper (racial discrimination, the family, crime, addictive behavior, fertility, politics, and so forth)
- He was awarded the nobel prize in 1992
- Champion of "economic imperialism" and of the economic approach to human behavior
What is the economic approach?
- How to define economics?
- By its scope (Coase, Knight, Buchanan?): 1) Allocation of material goods; 2) the market
- By its method (Mises, Becker, Tullock)
- Beyond homo economicus
The three fundamental assumptions of the economic method
- Maximizing behavior
- Market equilibrium
- Fixed (given) preferences
- What economics does not assume: perfect information, superhuman rationality, perfect foresight
Maximizing behavior
- This is the same as purposeful behavior from above. People strive to achieve goals. In doing so the have to make choices.
- Maximization does not require rationality. But as a first approximation, we should not attribute peculiar forms of behavior to irrationality
- Problem: what do we need by rationality. Instrumental vs. epistemic rationality.
- Instead, when we do observe peculiar behavior we should investigate further. Most likely, we ignored or failed to identify some major cost associated with the course of action we initially predicted
- In fact, animals maximize too. Are animals rational?
- This means the same as that people respond to incentive. Is the opposite true?
- Mayweather vs Mcgregor
Market equilibrium
- Extending the notion of markets
- What do we mean by equilibrium
- Prices, shadow prices, and costs
Fixed (given) preferences
- Defining preferences
- Not the common meaning of the word
- "Underlying preferences ... over fundamental aspects of life": Health, prestige, sex, etc.
- Why don't individual maximize happiness?
- Do they maximize on "life"? Is all death suicide, in some sense?
- The importance of tradeoffs
- The implications of these three principles are far reaching
- The law of demand
- The equimarginal principle
- The law of supply
- Important: economics deals with human action/choice. Everything that is outside of this realm does not belong to economics (is not to be explained by economics). It can picture into the context of economic analysis and influence the equilibrium outcome.
- Are the three assumptions redundant?
- \(\)
Econ 340: Week 1
General information
- Instructor: Ennio E. Piano, Department of Economics & F.A. Hayek Advanced Program in Politics Philosophy and Economics, George Mason University
- Email: email@example.com
- Class schedule: Thursday, 4:30-7:10 PM, Buchanan Hall D005
- Office hours: Thursday, 9:00-10:30 AM, Buchanan Hall, D137-7 (this is in the Hayek Program Office)
Course structure and objectives
- 13 lectures over three months and a half
- Main goal: familiarizing yourself with the basic tools of mathematics as they are used by economists.
- Focus on the economics, not the mathematics. The mathematic is instrumental to the economic argument one wishes to communicate.
- Most of the class will cover basic calculus. If we have time we will also cover integration (unlikely). Basic calculus is what you need to know to understand most papers in economics.
- We will mainly look at microeconomic applications. Why? Contemporary macro is basically microeconomics "addressed in a loud voice" (Richard Wagner)
- Textbook: Sydsaeter et al. Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis (any edition after the second would work, available at the bookshop on campus)
- Notes: The last two weeks we will review some important applications of the math learned throughout the semester, as they will be prominently features on the final exam. Plus: a good exercise to review the content of the class. I will provide my own notes with the derivation of important models.
Tentative outline
- See syllabus
- 10%: Homework (two sets: #1 to be distributed on September 21st and due October 5th; #2 to be distributed on November 16th and due on November 30th). Bring a physical copy to class. Do not send me an electronic copy. I do not accept late work under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Also: no make up work.
- 40%: Midterm (3-5 problems depending on difficulty)
- 40%: Final (3-5 problems depending on difficulty, cumulative)
- 10%: Class participation (class participation is extremely important for a class like this one. Mathematics is hard to grasp and master and requires continuous involvement (George Polya). You will be asked to come to the whiteboard and attempt to do an exercise. Everyone in the class will have to do it. You will not be graded based on whether you know the answer, but on whether you participate in the collective effort to find one.
- For this reason, class attendance is strongly recommended although it is not required.
Why mathematical economics?
Why economics?
- "There is only one social science..." (Gary Becker)
- Simple tools to explain the social world
- From purposefulness to utility maximization to the law of demand
- The theory of everything
Why mathematics?
- "The objective of mathematicians is to discover and to communicate certain truths." (Daniel Solow)
- The "clarity argument" (e.g., Paul Romer)
Good mathematical theory is valuable because it encourages clear writing and thereby produces clearer thoughts in the mind of the author. It encourages clear writing by limiting the vocabulary that the author uses. The mathematical equations depend on a limited set of symbols. In good theory, each symbol is tightly bound to specific, precisely defined word or phrase from the vocabulary. The combination of the equations and the words used in the theory give the words and symbols precise meaning. The prose in good theory does not pull in vaguely defined terms that are not in this vocabulary.
Example (also from Romer)
- Say we want to investigate the relationship between two economic variables: human capital and knowledge
- We start with an abstract conception of the relationship:
\(H\rightarrow A \rightarrow H\)

The Primary School Physical Literacy Framework reflects the importance of the development of children's physical literacy; "the motivation, confidence, knowledge and understanding that provides children with the movement foundation for lifelong participation in physical activity." It also provides clear guidance as to how schools can maximise opportunities to develop the physical literacy of their pupils. Skills2Play and Skills2PlaySport are two complementary primary school physical literacy initiatives designed to support the objectives of the new Framework. Together they comprise the Skills2Play/Sport programme. Throughout this report the term Skills2Play/Sport refers to the programme, comprising both initiatives (Skills2Play and Skills2PlaySport). The programme consists of training and a resource and equipment package, which includes activity cards for both Skills2Play (blue cards) and Skills2PlaySport (purple cards) supplied to primary school deliverers by the Youth Sport Trust. Skills2Play is targeted at Key Stage 1 (KS1) and focuses on generic skill development through a range of play activities that focus on stability, object control and locomotion. Skills2PlaySport is targeted at lower Key Stage 2 (KS2) and includes multiskill activities that build from the generic skills but also introduce the connectivity with the sports through the development of skills specific to sporting 'themes', namely 'Invasion', 'Striking and Fielding' and 'Net/Wall'. Further themes are currently at varying stages of development and include 'Aquatics', 'Gymnastics', 'Athletics' and 'Wheels'.
The Centre for Sport, Physical Education & Activity Research (SPEAR) was commissioned by the Youth Sport Trust to conduct an independent evaluation of the Skills2Play/Sport programme between January 2014 and July 2015. The initial stages of the evaluation focused on the pilot programme undertaken in fifty primary schools. In May 2014 SPEAR produced the Pilot Evaluation Report, which captured teachers' experiences of the training, resources and delivery of the Skills2Play/Sport pilot programme. The programme was then rolled out to 1,000 schools nationally and the objectives of the Evaluation of the national Skills2Play/Sport programme were as follows:
1. To assess how Skills2PlaySport and Skills2Play are being delivered and sustained in primary schools to support children's physical literacy development.
2. To investigate the impact of Skills2PlaySport on the development of lower Key Stage 2 children's physical literacy over 12 weeks of the programme.
3. To investigate the impact of Skills2Play on the development of Key Stage 1 children's physical literacy over 12 weeks of the programme.

Agathaumas Dinosaur ("great wonder") was a ceratopsid like Triceratops Dinosaur. Relatively little is known about the species, because the only fossils originate were the sacrum and pelvis of the dinosaur. We do know, however, that it lived during the Cretaceous period.
most argue that Agathaumas
is simply a mislabeled Triceratops.
Agathaumas is now displayed at the Field Museum in Chicago. It was given its name, which refers to its huge size, by paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope in 1872. It is a nomen dubium, however, and some debate exists to what Agathaumas is. Cope himself originally supposed it to be a type of hadrosaur until O. Marsh described Triceratops in 1889.
Artist Charles R. Knight painted the dinosaur for Cope, creating a fantastic-looking beast, which blended the lengthy facial horns of Triceratops with the spiked frill of the Styracosaurus Dinosaur.
The artwork was exposed years later by stop-motion animator Willis O'Brien, who used the Agathaumas in the 1925 film The Lost World. The Agathaumas has appeared in a variety of forms since then, and if those who doubt its existence are correct, it is one of the more successful imaginary dinosaurs.

|Agathaumas is non-diagnostic relative to Chasmosaurus, a plant eating dinosaurs from the late Cretaceous period

Midland Health reports 7 flu-related deaths
Seven people who were inpatients at Midland Memorial Hospital have died since October after testing positive for the flu, according to information provided to the Reporter-Telegram.
Val Sparks, infection preventionist at Midland Health, said the hospital has been following all flu-positive patients and that the deaths were from Oct. 1 through Monday. Those patients were between 68 and 88 years old and had underlying diseases or complications from the virus, according to Sparks.
She wants elderly people to know they can get the flu even if they were vaccinated this season. For those who haven't received a vaccine, she said they are still recommended.
Sparks also suggests people practice good hand washing and avoid physical contact with others.
The hospital is continuing to see flu patients in its emergency room and as inpatients, according to Sparks. Last week, 167 emergency room patients were positive for the flu — a number that includes cases for the two types of seasonal influenza viruses.
Symptoms of the virus include fever or chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue and vomiting or diarrhea, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. MMH recommends people with flu symptoms see their primary care physician and to visit the emergency room if they experience complications associated with pneumonia.
To help prevent the spread of the virus, the hospital this season has discouraged people with flu-like symptoms and children younger than age 14 from visiting patients. The hospital is also providing face masks and disinfecting spaces.
MMH hasn't reported any pediatric deaths related to flu during the 2017-18 season. Nationwide, 30 influenza-associated pediatric deaths have been reported, according to the CDC. Sparks said of concern are children who have underlying diseases, such as diabetes or asthma.
"We worry about those kids more than normal, healthy kids with good immune systems," she said.

Thursday 06/26/08 - Quality Wine
Wine Tasting Clubs
To real wine lovers, tasting wine is an experience that is enjoyed in slow, satisfying moments. You need to take note of several things before the wine even touches your lips. First, you have to consider the color of the wine as it is reflected on the glass. Is the liquid clear or does it look cloudy? Wine experts say that the experience is better if the glass is bigger. Swirl the wine inside the glass in order for the wine to air out. Smell the wine and take note of its distinctive flavors. Is it fruity or sweet? Does it have a mild or strong scent? Is it spicy or earthy? You can tell a lot just by smelling the wine. You don't have to take an extensive course in wine tasting; just go with what you feel.
When it's time to actually taste the wine, sip a bit of it and taste the liquid on every part of your tongue. Take note of its sweetness, bitterness or saltiness by moving the wine around your mouth. Sweetness is generally sensed at the tip of the tongue, bitterness near the back and saltiness near the front. It would be better if you start of with the white wines and work your way up to the reds or towards sweeter dessert wines. After swallowing or disposing the wine, take note if the taste lingers.
You don't have to swallow the wine every time. Spittoons are conveniently placed around wine tasting events for you dispose of the wine. If you take in too much, the tastes might become overwhelming inside your mouth and, you should avoid getting drunk.
Wine tasting is so popular among wine lovers that wine tasting clubs and wine tasting events are held all over. These clubs regularly meet to try out different types of wine and critique them. A lot of wine tasting clubs have themes for every event they put together.
Several wine tasting clubs could be reached through their websites. Membership requirements and rates vary from club to club. You should research thoroughly to find the club that would suit your preference.
Wine Clubs provides detailed information on Wine Clubs, Wine Of The Month Clubs, California Wine Clubs, Wine Making Clubs and more. Wine Clubs is affiliated with Wine Tasting Tours.

I think it's good to step out of your comfort zone from time to time, and it seems like I'm doing a lot of that these days. I'm not quite sure why that is, but I do know that I have a tendency to get bored when things stay the same for too long. Maybe that's why there are periods in my life where I "uproot" so to speak and make a lot of big changes in my life. It keeps things interesting, and it grows me in an uncomfortable sort of way.
So, speaking of challenging things that push me out of my comfort zone… I've decided to do a little 30-day blogging challenge.
I've never done one before because it never seemed like a good fit for Growing Up Herbal. In the past, this blog has been more of an educational blog, and my posts tend to be kind of long (Sorry. I like to talk.). However, as my vision for this little piece of the World Wide Web shifts, I'm trying to branch out, try new things, and make this blog more of what I want it to be… more of a blog that I'd like to read myself.
All that to say, I feel that this may be a good time to do a 30-day blog challenge, and I hope you don't mind the more frequent posting. This blog exists because of you so I want this to be something you'd enjoy as much as I would.
I'd love it if you'd let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see on the blog during this 30-day blogging challenge. Do you have any questions you'd like me to answer? Are you curious about how I do something? Is there a recipe or a DIY you'd like to see? Are you interested in learning more about a certain topic? I'd love to get your opinions. Tell me what you're interested in right now, and I'll do my best to sprinkle some of that in over the course of the next month!
