Every year I feel it necessary to reassess all of the various policies, insurance, and plans that we pay for. It’s a lot of work but I feel if I don’t and I stay in Auto-Pilot Mode and just renew those plans, warranties and policies I will probably end up paying more. How many times have you received a bill for a renewal policy and blindly wrote a check for it? I know I have - more times then I care to count.
Part of this reassessment process I go through I find myself scouring the net for various calculators and/or guides and such. At FinanceGenius.Com they have a number of guides and resources to help you out, whether it’s for your Mortgage, Auto Warranty, Credit, Student Loans or Budgeting solutions.
I am no gunner. Trust me. I might have a gunner-like thought once in a while. You might even say I have some gunner tendencies. But if MTV decided to make Real World: Medical School, it would be irrefutable: I am not a gunner. Because while I might like to have the highest score on the next exam, I simply don’t do enough to turn that passing desire into reality.
Some people do, though. There is always someone who scores the highest. Usually its kind of sickening to see what the top score is. I hope that whoever is getting the top scores is putting hours and hours into studying, preferably over 8 hours a day. If he or she is getting top scores with only one or two hours of studying a day… well I don’t want to know who it is.
Earlier in the year, when our scores were sent home, the report had: points possible, score, class average, and standard deviation. Well, the class gave its input, the people in charge of the reports listened, and now the spreadsheets we receive a
In a recent column for FOXSports.com, Ian O’Connor criticizes the people who credit the NFL head coaches as geniuses. O’Connor discusses Jets head coach Eric Mangini among many others.
“These days, a guy can go 10-6, get blown away in his first playoff game, and still show up on The Sopranos so Artie Bucco can call him “Man-genius.”
Eric Mangini is the poster coach for the counterfeit NFL genius. Fresh off his charmed rookie season with the Jets, Mangini played Mozart — a legitimate genius — on big, booming speakers during training camp before his team went out and lost five of its first six games.
Mangini was smart enough to weaken an offensive line charged to protect a noodle-armed quarterback, and to do it by running off Pete Kendall in the name of saving the Jets’ billionaire owner a million bucks. He was also smart enough to rob himself of any benefit-of-the doubt currency by adopting a charm-free public persona in the world’s most com
This is such a great idea from BBDO Guatemala.The challenge was to raise the level of knowledge of the Super Glue brand in a market with unavailable buget for traditional media. They hired a fleet of vehicles that were placed in high transited points in the city. A boot was attached to them, like the ones the traffic police attach to infractors. The boot was designed in a way so that the vehicle looked like if a tube of Super Glue was attached to stop it from moving.
Looks like Wall Street’s mad scientists have blown up the lab again. The subprime mess that is cutting so wide a swath through financial markets can be traced to the alchemy of creating collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) compounded by the enormous amount of leverage applied by big hedge funds. CDOs are derivatives — synthetic financial instruments derived from another asset.
Here’s the recipe for a CDO: you package a bunch of low-rated debt like subprime mortgages and then break the package into pieces, called tranches. Then, you pay to play. Some of the pieces are the first in line to get hit by any defaults, so they offer relatively high yields; others are last to get hit, with correspondingly lower yields. The alchemy begins when rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings wave their magic wand over these top tranches and declare them to be a golden AAA rated. Top shelf. If you want to own AAA debt, CDOs have been about the only place to g
The worlds greatest geniuses have all had 24 personality characteristics in common and you can develop the same traits yourself, says an expert.
“Most people have the mistaken idea that geniuses are born, not made”, declared clinical psychologist Dr. Alfred Barrious, founder and director of the Self-Programmed Control Center of Los Angeles and author of the [...]
