NASCAR Sprint Cup Driver Mark Martin Goes for it All One Last Time

There is perhaps no other driver in the garage area of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series who wants to win a championship more than Mark Martin. Martin has had an illustrious career but has had that elusive Cup Championship slip from his grasp on several occasions. Now Mark Martin will attempt once more to add the exclamation point to the end of his career and go after the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship one last time as he joins the Hendrick Motorsports stable in 2009.

Martin, who has been racing on a limited schedule for the past two seasons has committed to racing a full season for Hendrick Motorsports in the number 5 Chevy in 2009 and will then drive on a limited time basis and help groom a new driver in 2010. Martin joins three of the best drivers in the sport of NASCAR at Hendrick Motorsports in what has been dubbed “The Dream Team.” Martin takes to the track in 2009 with 4-time Sprint Cup Champion Jeff Gordon (number 24), 3-time and reigning Sprint Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson (number 48) and NASCARs most popular diver Dale Earnhardt Jr. (number 88). Earlier this week, team owner Rick Hendrick referred to Mark Martin as “the missing piece of the puzzle.” Put simply, Rick Hendrick expects all four of his cars, including the one piloted by Mark Martin, to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup in 2009 and has said anything less would be disappointing (source: http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/2017-kia-gt-to-debut-at-2016-detroit-auto-show-teaser/).

NASCAR Sprint Cup Driver

In his career, Martin has amassed an impressive 35 wins, 390 top-ten finishes and 41 pole positions. He has finished second in the point standings in 1990, 1994, 2000 and 2002. In 1990, Martin finished just 26 points behind the late Dale Earnhardt. That was probably his toughest pill to swallow as earlier in the season Martin was fined 46 driver points from NASCAR for using an illegal (though not performance enhancing) carburetor at Richmond international Speedway. He raced for 19 years with Jack Roush and though he has seen a couple of his Roush team mates win a title, he was never able to secure one in his tenure with Roush Racing (now Roush Fenway, source: Wikipedia.org).

Now Mark martin is back full time and has aligned himself with arguably one of the best teams in NASCAR today. If Martin fulfills his dream of winning the Sprint Cup Championship or even if he comes up short, none can say he didn’t go out trying. And don’t let Martin’s age fool you. He may have turned 50 earlier this month, but the rest of NASCAR better be on the lookout as this “old man” is coming and he is after one thing and one thing only; a NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

A Mathematical Proof for Prince Prasad’s Number Trick

A Mathematical Proof for Prince Prasad’s Number Trick

9x =9 ({ [ ( x – 1 ) – { 9x – [ 10 ( x – 1 ) ] } + 5 ] / 2 } + 3)

In my younger days, I was often intrigued by magicians and their mysterious ability of making things appear and disappear but when I got older, it was the other things that made magic a success that truly intrigued me. Just like you, I tend to question the angle of perception directors don’t wish but force into the eyes of audiences and all the dry-ice smoke about a magician they want us to feel the spell we’re under.

Mathematical Proof for Prince Prasad's

Perhaps you’re a fan of David Blaine and you’re most intrigued by his mentalist feats, unfortunately, I am not here to discuss the sort of magic David Blaine performs. However, I am certain this simple “mind-reader” trick would work as well as David’s when you do it with K-6 math students.

I am not really into the magic within this trick but the magic is the formula that makes this trick work. I invented this process when I was 14 about 9 years ago and have reused the method in performing card tricks with additional constant component operations to obtain the suit of the cards. The effect of this trick is a divined number that happens to be the number chosen by the spectator

Method.

1) First find a willing and participating spectator.

2) Get him/her to choose and think of a single digit number between 0 – 9 without having to say it out loud.

3) Tell the spectator to multiply the number they chose by 9.

4) Tell them their product is a two digit number even if they chose the selected number was 1. Tell them why: because 1 x 9 = 09.

5) Now that they know they have a two digit product, tell them to subtract the digits of the product from left to right. For example: 2 x 9 = 18 =>1 – 8 = -7

6) Tell them that they should never throw away the negative sign.

7) Now tell them to multiply the result by 5.

8) Then get them to divide that product by 2.

9) Finally tell the spectator that if you were going to reverse the process to obtain the number they were thinking of it would take as long it took to get to the last step which is the quotient of the result of the process with a denominator of 2. With that get them to tell you the result in step 8.

10) Quickly add 3 to the number the spectator gives you and there you have it, the number they were thinking of.

Just one piece of advice don’t repeat this trick in the same place with the same person twice or you’ll get busted and that won’t be such a nice trick after all when it’s a K-6student you are trying to con.

Anyways, here’s what’s more interesting than the trick itself, the mathematical proof for the process.

Assuming the number the spectator is thinking of is denoted by the a single letter x, to represent the variable and the multiplier given is 9, then the process described above can be represented mathematically as below:

From 9x =9 ({ [ ( x – 1 ) – { 9x – [ 10 ( x – 1 ) ] } + 5 ] / 2 } + 3)

If 9 * x = 9x,

then x =9 ({ [ ( x – 1 ) – { 9x – [ 10 ( x – 1 ) ] } + 5 ] / 2 } + 3)/9.

Further expanding the function gives us;

x = [2x – (11 – 5)]/2 +3

= x – 3 + 3x = x, hence the function of the trick is proven.

Shopping Guide for Antique Bedroom Furniture

What is antique bedroom furniture for one, is a childhood memory for someone else. To be accurate, anything over the of fifty is considered to be an antique, so to some antique bedroom furniture would be from the 1960’s. To others antique bedroom furniture would be from the 1930’s and 40’s and others back to the Victorian era. What ever your idea of antique bedroom furniture is, there are places where you can get just what you want.

For those who like to bargain hunt, there is the second hand or thrift store. Don’t pass them up because of the name. You can get some great finds there and in some cases help out a charity. They are not interested in getting antique prices for their products. Many of them are donated or they bought out an apartment or a house. You would probably have a better chance to find the younger aged antique bedroom furniture, but sometime you can find a great older piece of antique bedroom furniture at a great price. A place like the Angel Street Thrift Shop in New York is a good example. Every city, town and village has at least one, but call first tell them what you are looking for and if they have it go fast because if you do not the antique bedroom furniture will probably move even faster.

Antique Bedroom Furniture

Estate sales are another excellent choice and you can find some older, one of a kind items that were once considered to be family heirlooms. Your local paper will have listings and they are a great way to spend a day in the country, exploring a different place and hunting for the best antique bedroom furniture. The Estate Sale Network lists estate sales in all of the states. They list the contact information for the sales agents and there are complete descriptions and even pictures so you know what you will be seeing before you get there. Prices will vary greatly, but the fewer people who are looking, the better deal you may be able to find.

Auctions are another choice for finding items like antique bedroom furniture. You can get a great a deal if you don’t get carried away in a bidding war. Set your price and stick to it or you may spend the whole budget on just one piece. Again, the internet is a great resource for fining local auctions. Sites like Run Walk Jog have listings for auctions in all 50 states. On hint that goes for both the estate sales and auctions. Do not let bad weather hold you back. The crowds are usually smaller and you will have a better chance to get the antique bedroom furniture you want at a price you want to pay.

And of course there are the traditional stores. If you are looking for real antique bedroom furniture, not reproductions or copies, then you need to go to a store that specializes in antique bedroom furniture. This can be the most expensive option, but it can save you time. Again let your fingers do the walking first either through the phone book or on the net. Comparison shop and keep an eye out for condition. And when you find that one perfect piece, it will be the culmination of your own personal treasure hunt.

How to Work with Number Types When Programming: Looking at the Way in which Programming Languages Handle Numbers

There is one interesting difference between humans and computers. Most human beings with even a rudimentary grasp of mathematics can handle numbers quite happily. Some numbers may be harder to work with because of the size of them but, all in all, people know what to do with them.

However, while computers are very add up very quickly, sometimes they appear to do strange things numbers. A programmer must be aware that, to a computer, not all numbers are the same and that some programming languages can produce some quite surprising results. It is, therefore, worth looking at some of the pitfalls can can befall an application developer as they manipulate data in their programs.

An Unexpected Output

An Unexpected Output

A Java programmer, for example, may decide that the int (or integer) number type may be suitable for creating id numbers, for example:

int myId;

myId = 2147483646;

myId++; System.out.println (myId);

The new id is obviously 2147483647 (as shown in Figure 1 at the bottom of this article). However, something strange happens when then next id is generated:

int myId;

myId = 2147483647;

myId++; System.out.println (myId);

This time the answer is not 2147483648 as any human being would expect. It is -2147483648 (as shown in Figure 2). This is not some strange new kind of mathematics. It’s simply that the computer does not see the number in the same way that a human does. It sees it as an allocation of memory.

Numbers and Memory

Most programming languages will support the number types:

  • short (16 bits) – signed integer (-32768 to 32767)
  • int (32 bits) – signed integer (-2147483648 to 214783647)
  • long (64 bits) – signed integer (-9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807)
  • float (32 bits) – floating point (approximately -1038.53 to 1038.53 )
  • double (64 bits) – floating point (approximately -10308.25 to 10308.25)

Some programming languages will support additional number definitions, for example Java supports the byte (8 bits) which is a signed integer from -128 to 217. And it’s worth noting that although some of the number ranges are very large, none of them are infinite.

A Better Solution

The programmer must, therefore, choose a number type appropriate for the data that they expect to use, for example:

long myId;

myId = 2147483646;

myId++;

myId++; System.out.println (myId);

This time the correct result will be displayed (a shown in figure 3).

Not All Programming Languages are the Same

Of course, not all programming languages are as concerned about the number type being used. VBScript (or Visual Basic Script) will assign and reassign the number type as required:

Dim myID: myID = 2147483646

myID = myID + 1

wscript.echo myID

myID = myID + 1 wscript.echo myID

Even though the programmer has not defined the the number type to be used, the correct number is calculated (as shown in figure 4). However, it must be remembered that:

Programming Languages are the Same
  • no number range is infinite
  • an application that uses only doubles will handle number correctly but may use a lot of memory
  • a program that uses only shorts will not use much memory but will only be able to handle small numbers

For the programmer, therefore, there is a trade off between the amount of the memory to be used and the size of the number that can be used. However, if they are aware of the limitations of the number types that they are using then they will be able to create an accurate and efficient number crunching application.

Five Must-Have Supplements for Your Medicine Cabinet

Are you worried about your health? Do you feel like you’re not getting the proper vitamins and minerals from your diet? If so, don’t worry-help has arrived.

While they can’t replace a healthy and well-balanced diet, here are five dietary supplements no medicine cabinet should be without.

Multivitamins

Multivitamins

If you had to choose only one supplement to take every day, make it a multivitamin; it’s the foundation of any decent health plan. Unless you spend your entire day eating a seemingly infinite assortment of food groups, you will never reach your overall nutritional needs. Multivitamins are designed to be a convenient supplement to your diet, adding only the vitamins and minerals most essential for good health–Vitamin C, Magnesium, Zinc, Lycopene, and so on. Most multivitamins only need to be taken once a day, can be found in any grocery store, and are relatively inexpensive.

Suggested use: Once daily with a full glass of water, preferably after a meal.

Omega -3 Fish Oil

Fish oil is a dietary supplement that is vital in building and maintaining heart health. It contains the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA; EPA supports heart health and cellular integrity while DHA supports the operation of memory and the nervous system. Fish oil has also been shown in studies to have a positive effect on weight loss. Fish oil is widely available and can be found in most grocery stores at a low price.

Suggested use: Varies; for adults, typically 2000 mg (2 softgels) per day with food. Should be stored in a cool, dry place; some brands suggest the bottle be refrigerated after opening.

Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo Biloba (commonly misspelled as Gingko Biloba) has been shown to help improve memory, especially mild memory loss associated with aging. It has been used as a treatment to delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. It also helps promote blood circulation to the legs, arms and brain, and has been known to help treat diabetes patients suffering from poor blood circulation to the extremities (feet, hands). It is available in most any grocery store and is very inexpensive.

Suggested use: For adults, 120 mg daily with a meal.

Red Wine Extract (with Resveratrol)

Red wine extract provides the benefits of heart-healthy red wine without the hangover. Red wine contains Resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant which aids in the support of the cardiovascular system by strengthening capillaries and encouraging healthy blood flow to and from the heart. Red wine extract also contains polyphenols and anthocyanidins, antioxidants that assist in balancing the immune system. Red wine extract is relatively expensive and is available in a wide range of forms and sizes, including vegetarian tablets.

Suggested use: Varies by brand.

Green Tea Extract

Green tea is all the rage right now, and for good reason: it carries powerful antioxidants called polyphenols, such as EGCG, that can inhibit the growth of cancer cells and lower total cholesterol levels, among other things. Studies have shown that those who consume green tea on a regular basis are far less likely to suffer from heart disease, regardless of diet. Green tea may even be helpful in weight loss. It can be found in few grocery stores, but is available at larger retailers and vitamin stores at an extremely low cost.

Green Tea Extract

Suggested use: Varies; typically 200-300 mg daily.

Having trouble finding one or more of these items at your local grocery store? Online vitamin stores such as https://www.otcmedstore.com/equazen-eye-q-baby-n30 have a wide variety of these supplements in stock.

How to Stain Wooden Furniture

Almost every area has a store that sells unfinished furniture, and if you take a look at the prices, it is often much cheaper than its factory-finished counterpart. Not only that, finishing the furniture yourself will result in a more beautiful and personal piece. Even if you are looking to refinish a piece of wooden furniture as opposed to buying new pieces, finishing (or refinishing) your own wooden furniture can be a very rewarding and money-saving experience, continue reading at our site.

There are quite a few different options when choosing a finish for your furniture, but they are applied about the same way. I encourage you to explore your options before making a decision. My personal favorite, however, is varnish. It is much more resistant to wear and tear than many other options, and is probably your best bet.

Wooden Furniture

The first thing you will need to do is sand the furniture. If you are not refinishing the piece and there is not an existing coat of finish, you will not need to sand quite as much. If there is an existing coat, however, make sure that it is completely removed before finishing. Failure to do so will make your finish look terrible. When sanding, make sure that you always go with the grain and use a sanding block when applicable. If this is not an option, wrap your sandpaper around a thick sponge. It will even out the pressure you apply to the piece and have a little give so you don’t rip up the wood. Consider sanding the piece twice if you have the time. First with a larger grain of sandpaper, and with a finer grain the second. You want the piece to be as smooth as possible.

Most varnishes will require you to mix one part of the product to one part of water or thinner, but always follow package instructions when mixing. Always use a brand new natural-bristled brush. Before applying any product to your piece, ensure that all the sawdust has from sanding has been removed. You will regret it if you don’t. Apply the varnish using long, even strokes, along the grain of the wood. After the entire surface is coated, very gently apply just a little more varnish over the entire thing to smooth it out. If you apply too thick a coat, the varnish will crack as it ages. If there seems to be a buildup of varnish in corners or edges, gently go over the spot in question with a dry brush.

Stain Wooden Furniture

Most pieces will be dry within 24 hours of application, but always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. If your finish is a two-coat product, wait until it is dry and lightly sand with a 7/0 grade of sandpaper and repeat. You should always wait about double the recommended drying time before actually using the furniture.

And there you have it! Your own beautiful piece of hand-finished furniture. Just keep in mind that you should avoid any contact with the piece until it is completely dry.

Online Business: Staying Afloat During Seasonal Downtime

Most online businesses experience an ebb and flow throughout the year. Your clients’ or customers’ needs may fluctuate from season to season. How do you maintain balance during online business seasonal downtime?

Forethought

If you have an online service-based business, ask about your new client’s business. Ask them if, and when, they anticipate slow times throughout the year. If they have been in business long, they can tell you what peaks and valleys they experience routinely each year. Find out if those fluctuations will impact their service needs. Inquire ahead of time if they foresee cutting back their requirements for downtime or prolonged vacations.

Forethought

If you have an online retail business, research when your clients are most likely to be buying. Are your products seasonal in nature, or are they needed year round? Ask owner’s of similar businesses what variations they see.

Budget Accordingly

As best you can, project ahead of time what you foresee your income being in both the high and low times. Find out what it takes to keep your business running each month and plan ahead, Check out https://www.digitalbusinesslessons.com/ for effective information now.. Make a budget with your anticipated yearly income and the necessities you need to cover to keep things going. During the busy times, set aside your profits. Strive to have enough set aside to get you through any seasonal fluctuations you anticipate.

Diversify

The best plan of action if you foresee downtime is to minimize it. If your client is swamped during tax time, look for other clients to keep you busy during the rest of the year. If your client’s routine is subject to the school year, market your services to those in summer-based industries to cover those months. Or budget in anticipation of taking that time off also, if desired.

Diversify

It is rarely advisable to attempt contracting other large, long-term clients during another client’s short hiatus unless you can balance it in the future. If you are currently swamped during the busy times, adding another client with ongoing needs could spell disaster. If you, or your client, is not open to subcontracting you may have to let a good client go. If you take on more than you can handle without future planning, you may be overwhelmed or lose focus.

If you operate a retail business, you don’t need to change your entire product line. If your products are currently holiday-based, add merchandise that will accommodate off-season shoppers with spring and summer needs.

IQ TESTS

Intelligence quotient or IQ is name of the earned scores by the measurement of the intelligence ensuing from the intelligence tests. The educational and professional achievements are measured by it. These achievements are measured in the numbers that is called IQ SCORE.IQ score is made the source of study of the standard of thoughts of the people.

IQ is employed to assess the performance of the employees, their income and social status. It is assumed that certain people and certain races are possessors of the higher IQ and others are owner of the lower intelligence quotient. Moreover it is said that IQ tells us about state of mind and way of logical thinking of a person. The people who are supposed to have higher IQ are considered superior to those who have lower IQ. This discrimination became the source of controversy.

performance of the employees

There appeared the opposites of this supposition who think that it is only a raw source of measuring a personality. IQ theory has been opposed since the very beginning. The opponents say that this score and theory are biased and do not evaluate a person completely. They think and put forward that there are many other thing that are not taken into account while counting the IQ score of a person. The evidences put forward by the contending persons are not wholly incorrect. Both the sides are adamant and are not ready to find out an acceptable standard of the IQ SCORE.

IQ Not Reasonable

Alfred Binet assumed that IQ scales are not suitable to measure intelligence. He did not fabricate the term intelligence quotient and its demonstrations.

Intelligence is not a numerical quantity

According to Binet the I Q scales are not able to measure intelligence, because intelligence is not mathematical quantity. These cannot be measured as some mathematical formula.

Intelligence is not a fixed entity .

The Binet-Simon intelligence scales demonstrate that those who are measured as dull or possessor of lower IQ might become to those people who have higher IQ SCALES. He says that suitable remedial programs might make their IQ higher because intelligence is not a calculable stable thing, find out more.

IQ might be increased

Binet says and challenges the psychologists that intelligence is not permanent thing .Its quantity might be increased with the help of certain therapies.

Controversy over psychometrics

Some psychologists believe that psychometrics is correct or absolutely correct. In his book “The Mismeasuere of Man” Professor Gould has said the intelligence tests as defective or based on such suppositions.

Intelligence is not a detached entity

The place, quantity and exploitation of intelligence in the brain for each individual are different and are a complete whole.

IQ TESTS dive humans into artificial categories and made some the second-rate person due to false suppositions about the intelligence.

Professor Gould criticizes the ‘IQ’as well as the Bell Curve. He is of the view that these ignore many other significant features of mental abilities. IQ TESTS MIGHT BE BIASED

American Psychological Association

The American Psychological Association’s says that IQ tests are biased except school achievements. Outdated Methods of IQ are also a point to ponder as far as their application is concerned. They ignore the latest developments in the field of personality, attitudes, cognitive development, and intelligence.
