Global warming
2008-03-05 12:59:00 Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation.The global average air temperature near the Earth's surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the hundred years ending in 2005.[1] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-twentieth century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations"[1] via the greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950 and a small cooling effect from 1950 onward.[2][3] These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least thirty scientific societies and academies of science,[4] including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized co...

Despite the name, Infinite Lotto is not a lottery
2008-01-06 21:34:00 Despite the name, Infinite Lotto is not a lottery.

What I am about to say I something that I had hope
2008-01-06 21:32:00 What I am about to say I something that I had hoped we would avoid, however circumstances have dictated that we must take action now, and that action is not going to be popular for some of you.I will start at the beginning, many of you may remember way back when we first started we were using ACM in Switzerland as the broker for our Pool Account, and then switched over to FXCM in February so we could run the Managed Accounts.The problem started when we took our money out of ACM, because of their strict Anti Money Laundering Regulations the money had to be returned to the account which was on file held with them. The account in question at that time was our old Danish Corporate Account. The money withdrew from ACM without a problem, however as soon as it hit the Danish Account, the Danish Financial Authorities were all over it.Ken was called in by the Ministry of Finance to prove what this money was, which we promptly did.

Private I was founded in 2000 and as such, is one
2008-01-06 21:31:00 Private I was founded in 2000 and as such, is one of the longest running investment programs for the not-so-insanely-rich investor. Its core business is the research, development and application of highly effective trading systems. The program offers two different types of stock units, both utilitising a different market, trading systems and strategies.The first stock unit is the one with the longest running track record with monthly returns averaging between 4-7%. The second stock options has been returning a much higher 6-9.5% in recent months, but has a shorter track record of about 2 years. Overall the returns are very stable for both stock units.The second stock unit does come with a much higher initial deposit requirement: $1000, compared to $100 for the first stock unit. There is also a one-time account creation fee of $25 to be considered.It takes up to 30 business days to withdraw money. More About: Private

Joost ringside 50 Cent vs Kanye West
2007-09-15 05:12:00 Joost ringside: 50 Cent v. Kanye West For the last two months in the world of hip hop, all eyes have been on the throwdown between 50 Cent and Kanye West. For those of you who haven't heard, here's the story:Originally slated for release on September 18th, Kanye West decided to move the US release date of his new album, Graduation, to September 11th — which just happened to be the same day that Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson was set to release his new album, Curtis.And thus, a beef was born.50 Cent said he'd hang up his mic and retire if Kanye's album outsold his in the first week. After a public (but insincere) reconciliation, 50 said that he knew his threat was idle because he's sold something like four times as many records as Kanye.While I applauded 50's chest-thumping confidence at first, I'm starting to think his late-round antics may hurt his chances. He's made Kayne the underdog in this battle. And coming from the streets, 50 should know that everyone roots ... More About: Joost

As a young first year student at the Stanford MBA
2007-09-15 05:03:00 As a young first-year student at the Stanford MBA program (most of the other 300 students had wasted a few years working at a bank, but he came straight from undergrad) Chip Conley picked out four other students--strangers to him and to each other--and invited them to a weekly brainstorming session. He explained to us that once a week we'd meet for four hours and brainstorm business plans and entrepreneurial ventures.A year later, we had compiled more than 500 great ideas, countless lousy ones and had figured out how to think about the structure of a business. I think the five of us would all agree we learned more in that room in the anthropology department than we did in the classes we were paying for.The extraordinary thing about Chip's little bit of initiative in setting up the group is how rare it is.

The haystack
2007-09-15 05:02:00 It's easy to be wowed by what a magical job the search engines do in finding you just the right needle in the haystack.The fact is that search engines are very good at fairly simple searches, and very good at finding information about single products, services, people and ideas.But they're terrible at connections, at rankings, at horizontal results. They can't help me find the 25 most important up and coming artists in the United States. They can't help me find six products that are viable alternatives to something that was just discontinued. They can't help me rank the service of four accounting firms.There's a giant opportunity. (Many opportunities, actually). It's to collate and slice and dice and rank domain-specific knowledge and surface it. There are some areas where this is done extremely well (restaurants, for example), but in most cases, it's not done at all.Organizing the world's information is a laudable goal. But we're only an inch down the road. More About: Haystack

The irresistible story
2007-09-15 05:00:00 Many stories that spread and stick do so because we so desperately want them to be true. Urban legends (and urban truths) fill a niche that we've built for them.Miss Teen South Carolina has been watched nearly 20 million times over the last few weeks... because her inane prattling confirms our funniest dreams of empty-headed beauty queens. Doesn't matter whether she is actually a dolt or not... the story matches our worldview, so we embrace it. It makes us feel even smarter than we did yesterday.Jeff points us to Done, an SEO firm that claims it can quash bad reviews from showing up in Google. Sort of a reverse SEO play, they offer to take angry customer rants or riffs on sites like Consumer Reports and make them less likely to show up in a Google search. MSNBC reports that they point to success with companies like WebLoyalty.com. (Typical search here). Marketers love this story. They love the idea that SEO could be done in reverse and that unfair and unjust besmirchments can be m... More About: Story , Tory

Ivory Soap, after all, is 99 and 44/100 % pure.$903 million is about 9,000 jobs paying $100,000 a year each. That's a lot of ticket takers, Blockbuster clerks and gaffers. And yet the Times reprints the numbers as true.Marketers make up numbers all the time. It's a great way to tell a story with efficiency, and if you do it in the right spirit (meaning that the numbers are as close to true as you can get them) there's little downside or damage. Except to your reputation when you're wrong...Do we need to know how much the Dow moved to a tenth of a point? No, of course not.

I happened to be cruising the internet a few weeks
2007-09-15 04:48:00 I happened to be cruising the internet a few weeks ago and noticed in a guest book for my old Regiment - The Queen’s Regiment - the name of an old friend of mine - Andy Creech. We re-established contact after 21 years. Andy is on the left and I am on the right - a younger thinner me without a beard.It sure is good to know that he and other friends from back then are still in contact and it bought back memories of many good times.Andy is now married with children, having met his wife at the wedding of another old friend who had served with us in 2 platoon.The photo is of poor quality taken with an old 110 snapshot camera - hence the grainy appearance. We were on patrol somewhere (I remember where but would sooner leave that unsaid) We had found this barn in which to have tea and waste some time and so that is exactly what we did.

the animal farm is a thing of my past
2007-09-15 04:47:00 yesterday i moved out of the place that i’ve been staying for the past six weeks. usually when i move out of a place that i’ve lived for more than a few days, i get a little nostalgic, and tuesday night was no different. the rent was frankly amazing for london and i had a microwave/convection oven, a decent size fridge, and two hotplates so I could actually prepare some basic meals. it would have been the best deal i’ve found if it wasn’t basically a petting zoo inside with her four (sometimes five) dogs, the peacock (yes, i said peacock), and the parrot. but i probably could have handled all of that if it hadn’t been for a serious infestation of spiders. i don’t mean daddy long legs or small spiders. i mean spiders that are about three inches long (and more) with legs, spiders where you aren’t sure your shoe will do the trick. i killed probably one every four to five days. it was a little more than i can handle. the room i was staying in wa...

2007-09-15 04:45:00 I second guessed myself, I started to think I was revealing too much with this post so I took it off. Then I started to think about how I have a tendancy to be guarded.

I want authenticity in my my faith, I want it in my relationships as well.FaithOr lack there of. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I want authentic faith, a faith that is Earth shattering. I want to know the living God in a way that I can’t even describe. But I am afraid. I am afraid that would mean that I would have to endure difficult hardships, and then I feel like such a wimp. In essence I am choosing “security” over amazing faith. I am at a loss of even where to begin.Lord, let me feel your presence. Let me participate in your will. Allow me to show this world your glory.

My little battery operated digital alarm clock
2007-09-15 04:44:00 My little battery-operated, digital alarm clock is simultaneously one of my most prized and one of my most loathed possessions. I prize it because it is pretty much the only thing in the world that makes it possible for me to be a good student, by making it to my 10:00 class, and to get enough chapel credits, by making it to 9:00 chapels. I also love it because it has a 4-minute snooze that I can push as many times as I want to, and also because it keeps getting progressively louder until I turn it off or ignore it for what seems like forever.However, the mere suggestion of that beeping sound from my clock is enough to send shivers down my spine. If I hear a similar sound in a different context, I wince. Each morning I am startled awake by my insistent and importunate timekeeper. I beg the minutes to slow down so I can miraculously have another hour of sleep.I sleep on the top of a bunk bed, and I keep my alarm clock on my desk across the room. Every morning when it goes off, I... More About: Clock , Battery , Alarm , Digital , Alarm Clock
An Afternoon To Remember
2007-09-13 05:04:00 Though I had my doubts earlier, it was during my teenage years that I became convinced that my mother was partial to my younger brother Rahul. Once this fact was established in my mind, it became my pet peeve and a closely guarded secret. ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------&n bsp;Rahul is my only sibling and is quite a lovable guy. I am fond of him and he totally looks up to me. But still I resent the feeling that mamma favours him over me. Aren't mothers supposed to love all her children equally? Then why does she favour Rahul when I am undoubtedly smarter and more responsible of the two. It irritates me to no end that mamma is so adept at highlighting every shortcoming of mine and broadcasting them to the world. In fact, when it comes to me, she has eyes even at the back of her head and when it... More About: Afternoon
Tell me lies sweet little lies
More articles from this author:2007-09-13 05:02:00 Sweet little lies This was a song probably I heard in the 70s. “ Tell me lies tell me lies..tell me lies tell me sweet little lies” At that time, I could not even begin to comprehend what it actually meant.. Now I know..better. So they say the truth shall set you free.does it? It does not free you, I beg to differ. .It just makes it all the more difficult to live with. Because if we tell the truth, we feel naked and vulnerable, fearful of the consequences. So should you tell lies..? Don’t we everyday? Every chance we get? “ oh you look so nice” when the person could have just stepped out of a disaster. “ No, You don’t look tired”and the person looks like hell. “ No I love you” when you actually want to say..”what? do I have to say it again”???? etc, etc, etc We don’t want to hurt anyone and end up hurting someone eventually because we don’t have the courage to conf...
