685.000 human lifetimes in a car :)

♣ A chip of silicon a quarter-inch square has the capacity of the original 1949 ENIAC computer, which occupied a city block.

♣ An ordinary TNT bomb involves atomic reaction, and could be called an atomic bomb. What we call an A-bomb involves nuclear reactions and should be called a nuclear bomb.

♣ According to security equipment specialists, security systems that utilize motion detectors won't function properly if walls and floors are too hot. When an infrared beam is used in a motion detector, it will pick up a person's body temperature of 98.6 degrees compared to the cooler walls and floor. If the room is too hot, the motion detector won't register a change in the radiated heat of that person's body when it enters the room and breaks the infrared beam.

♣ Time slows down near a black hole; inside it stops completely.

♣ A car traveling at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour would take over 48 million years to reach the nearest star (other than our sun), Proxima Centauri. This is about 685,000 average human lifetimes


si aici iata ca trebuie sa-mi pun eu problema, ca daca am folosi un monstru de veyron ????
pai e simplu, daca bugatti veyron ajunge la 253 mile\h (aprox de 4 ori mai repede), asta inseamna scurtarea timpului (aprox) la un sfert => 12 milioane de ani....eh, asa mai merge :)

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

Although most people know that a list exists of the Seven World Wonders, only few can name them. The list of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World was originally compiled around the second century BC. The first reference to the idea is found in History of Herodotus as long ago as the 5th century BC. Decades later, Greek historians wrote about the greatest monuments at the time. Callimachus of Cyrene (305BC-240BC), Chief Librarian of the Alexandria Mouseion, wrote "A Collection of Wonders around the World". All we know about the collection is its title, for it was destroyed with the Alexandria Library.

The final list of the Seven Wonders was compiled during the Middle Ages. The list comprised the seven most impressive monuments of the Ancient World, some of which barely survived to the Middle Ages. Others did not even co-exist. Among the oldest references to the canonical list are the engravings by the Dutch artist Maerten van Heemskerck (1498-1574), and Johann Fischer von Erlach's History of Architecture.

Today, archaeological evidence reveals some of the mysteries that surrounded the history of the Wonders for centuries. For their builders, the Seven Wonders were a celebration of religion, mythology, art, power, and science. For us, they reflect the ability of humans to change the surrounding landscape by building massive yet beautiful structures, one of which stood the test of time to this very day.

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World are:

* The Great Pyramid of Giza
* The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
* The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
* The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
* The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
* The Colossus of Rhodes
* The Pharos of Alexandria

cool facts

♦ Plutonium - first weighed on August 20th, 1942, by University of Chicago scientists Glenn Seaborg and his colleagues - was the first man-made element.

♦ Sound travels 15 times faster through steel than through the air.

♦ Only one satellite has been ever been destroyed by a meteor: the European Space Agency's Olympus in 1993.

♦ A ball of glass will bounce higher than a ball of rubber. A ball of solid steel will bounce higher than one made entirely of glass.

August 13, 2007 - Neptune at opposition
[ Opposition occurs when a body farther from the Sun than Earth appears opposite the Sun in the sky. It is the best time to observe a planet. ]


Some extra infos about Perseids:
======================
The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids are so called because the point they appear to come from, called the radiant, lies in the constellation Perseus. However, they can be seen all across the sky. Because of the path of Swift-Tuttle's orbit, Perseids are mostly visible on the northern hemisphere.

The shower is visible from mid-July each year, with the greatest activity between August 8 and 14, peaking about August 12. During the peak, the rate of meteors reaches 60 or more per hour.

Meteor showers occur when Earth moves through a meteor stream. The stream in this case is called the Perseid cloud and it stretches along the orbit of the Comet Swift-Tuttle. The cloud consists of particles ejected by the comet as it passed by the Sun. Most of the dust in the cloud today is approximately a thousand years old.

However, there is also a relatively young filament of dust in the stream that boiled off the comet in 1862. The approximate rate of meteors originating from this filament is much higher than normal.

The famous Perseid meteor shower has been observed for about 2000 years, with the first known information on these meteors coming from the Far East. In early Europe, the Perseids came to be known as the "tears of St. Lawrence."

:::::_A Samurai and a Zen Master_:::::

A samurai, a very proud warrior, came to see a Zen Master one day. The samurai was very famous, but looking at the beauty of the Master and the Grace of the moment, he suddenly felt inferior.

He said to the Master, "Why am I feeling inferior? Just a moment ago everything was okay. As I entered your court suddenly I felt inferior. I have never felt like that before. I have faced death many times, and I have never felt any fear -- why am I now feeling frightened?"

The Master said, "Wait. When everyone else has gone, I will answer. "

People continued the whole day to come and see the Master, and the samurai was getting more and more tired waiting. By evening the room was empty, and the samurai said, "Now, can you answer me?"

The Master said, "Come outside."

It was a full moon night, the moon was just rising on the horizen. And he said, "Look at these trees. This tree is high in the sky and this small one beside it. They both have existed beside my window for years, and there has never been any problem. The smaller tree has never said to the big tree, 'Why do I feel inferior before you?' This tree is small, and that tree is big -- why have I never heard a whisper of it?"

The samurai said, "Because they can't compare."

The Master replied, "Then you need not ask me. You know the answer."

Bursa - solved!

M-a tot frecat aseara o bucatica din ziar, la sectiunea de economie - cursul valutar si bursa.
La cursul valutar nu prea am avut probleme dar la FTSE, CAC, NYLD, BUBOR, NIKKEI 225, BET-C, BET-FI huh, am transpirat putin (mai ales ca unele suna treibil de amuzant)...

deci sa clarificam problema:

intai BURSA:

Termenul desemnează o instituţie cu putere de autoreglementare, specifică Economiei de piaţă liberă - bursa - ca formă organizată de schimb de mărfuri şi valori. În esenţă, noţiunea indică locul de întâlnire a negustorilor şi oamenilor de afaceri, în sensul unui spaţiu de concentrare a cererii şi ofertei. Acest conţinut rezultă din definiţiile date în limbajul de specialitate. Astfel „Legea română asupra burselor" din 1929 - „Legea Madgearu" - se arată că „bursele sunt instituţii publice create în scopul de a reuni pe comercianţi, industriaşi, producători, armatori şi asigurători în vederea negocierii valorilor publice şi private, monedelor, devizelor, mărfurilor, productelor, închirierii vaselor şi acoperirii riscurilor de tot felul" . Prin urmare bursa este o piaţă, care se particularizează prin obiectul tranzacţiilor şi modul de organizare şi funcţionare.


apoi hieroglifele = Indici bursieri

In economie sau finante, un indice (un indice al preturilor sau un indice bursier) este un indicator global al unei activitati, al performantei sau al unei evolutii in general. De exemplu, indicele preturilor de consum este un cos valoric format din preturile bunurilor de larg consum utilizate de populatie, calculat periodic, care se substituie cu succes nivelului general al inflatiei dintr-o anumita tara.

Aceeasi metodologie se foloseste si in cazul indicilor bursieri. Astfel, un asemenea indice nu este decat o colectie de actiuni listate la bursa, si reflecta statistic valoarea componentelor sale. Este folosit ca si indicator pentru a reliefa caracteristicile actiunilor componente, care au in comun diferite similaritati: faptul ca se tranzactioneaza pe aceeasi bursa, ca fac parte dintr-un anumit sector economic de activitate sau ca au aceeasi clasa de capitalizare bursiera.

In concluzie, un indice bursier este un indicator menit sa reflecte schimbarile valorice ale unui grup specific de actiuni.

Tipuri de indici bursieri

Indicii bursieri pot fi clasificati in mai multe modalitati. Astfel, un indice compozit reprezinta performantele generale ale unei piete bursiere in ansamblul ei, si prin extensie, reflecta sentimentele investitorilor privind starea generala a economiei. Cei mai tranzactionati indici bursieri sunt indicii compoziti, care includ cele mai puternice companii de pe cea mai mare piata bursiera din tara respectiva. Astfel, in SUA exista Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) si S&P 500, in Marea Britanie FTSE 100, in Franta CAC 40, in Germania DAX, in Japonia NIKKEI 225.

Pe langa indicii compoziti exista si asa-numitii indici sectoriali, care cuantifica performanta anumitor sectoare specifice ale pietei. De exemplu, Morgan Stanley Biotech Index este alcatuit din 36 de companii americane care activeaza in sectorul bio-tehnologiei. Alti indici sectoriali sunt bazati pe companiile existente in domeniul financiar, naval, telecomunicatii, transporturi, IT, etc.
