- If you think I’m looking at you, staring at you or giving
you the eye, I am because I’m trying to see if you have wings. My
mother told me all angels have them. - If lightning strikes, I’d cover my heart so when it hits me,
I’d fall happily knowing I protected you. Cause I spared the place
where you have always been. - I’ll reach for your hand in the cold of winter, I’ll reach for
your hand in the heat of summer. But if my short life can’t reach
the dawn of spring, I promise, in heaven, I’ll reach you with my
wings. - #StolenTweet------ A good man doesn't just happen. They have to be created by us
women. A guy is a lump, like a doughnut. So first you gotta get
rid of all the stuff his mom did to him. And then you gotta get rid
of all that macho crap they pick up from beer commercials. And
then there's my personal favorite...the male ego. - "Security is mostly a superstition. It does
not exist in nature, nor do the children of
men as a whole experience it. Avoiding
danger is no safer in the long run than
outright exposure. Life is either a daring
adventure, or nothing." Helen Keller - I knew that looking back on the times
I've cried, I would laugh,
but I never knew that looking back on
the times I've laughed, I would cry~ - "It's about walls, it's about the walls we
build up to protect ourselves,
and trying to create a facade that we
think is more interseting than who we
really are. And hiding those insecurities." - ACTUARIAL EXAM QUESTION THAT NEVER WAS: Iggy is deciding whether to invest $140 to take actuarial exam #2. (He has already failed the exam once, but the first $140 should be considered a sunk cost). If he passes the exam he will be able to get a job which pays $50,000 per year. Assume that this salary is to be delivered as a perpetuity receivable twice monthly for the remainder of Iggy's life. His salary will be adjusted at the end of each year to keep up with the CPI, which is currently at 9.5%. Assume this student's job prospects otherwise to be negligible (i.e., opportunity cost of capital = 0) and that the probability of his passing the exam is 1 in 400 billion. Determine whether Iggy should embark in this venture using a) the NPV method b) the discounted payback rule c) five paper clips and a stick of balsam wood.
A) Yes.
B) No.
C) Yes.
D) No, because the APV method should have been used instead.
E) A but not C (if so, explain why). - Nostalgia isn't what it used to be
- It was a dark and stormy night when R. H. Bing volunteered to
drive some stranded mathematicians from the fogged-in Madison
airport to Chicago. Freezing rain pelted the windscreen and iced
the roadway as Bing drove on--concentrating deeply on the
mathematical theorem he was explaining. Soon the windshield
was fogged from the energetic explanation. The passengers too
had beaded brows, but their sweat arose from fear. As the
mathematical description got brighter, the visibility got dimmer.
Finally, the conferees felt a trace of hope for their survival when
Bing reached forward--apparently to wipe off the the moisture
from the windshield. Their hope turned to horror when, instead,
Bing drew a figure with his finger on the foggy pane and
continued his proof--embellishing the illustration with arrows and
helpful labels as needed for the demonstration. - You know, for a mathematician, he did not have enough
imagination. But he has become a poet and now he is fine. - 2 is not equal to 3 – not even for very large values of 2.
- I need 3 smart people who can tutor highschool math and give motivational math talks.
