Varicose Vein Hot To The Touch

"May you live in interesting times"

put any money in it from? While the fun politicians in Berlin, led by the Minister of Finance, assert repeatedly that the money is safe with the German banks (I'm the only one that "we will stand fully behind XY" recalled statements made by the same politicians who not last for long?), is already excited wait, when does the first pictures from the U.S. banks stormy customers. It should be obvious even to each, that various transfers take place today very quietly, without any notice outsiders. A click should be enough ...
I own a few times now searching the Internet operated and came across an interesting report of the Bank for International Settlements. I must now go back a bit ...
derivative transactions in the last few weeks, too pretty discredited. Grob said the futures, which are already identified, an X stock at a price of € Y to date Z to buy or sell. These transactions were at the beginning really been intended to cover risks, they are now really just mostly for speculation (keyword: stock bets). Because the respective speculator bears the risk of loss, I was always against a limitation of such transactions. But what I have now read in the said report makes me worried:
end of June 2007 was the worldwide notional value of outstanding OTC derivatives transactions, according to the report $ 516 billion (!). Let's say that should be met for a further tightening of the current Kriese not only 10% of it, that's still a depreciable amount of 50 trillion dollars!
-exchange for the outstanding traded derivatives I have not found any source. I assume that it is the same order of magnitude.
is now also clear why the charge is in the U.S., the ass to happen. The derivatives bubble is even more gigantic than the subprime bubble burst.
The $ 700 billion, to bargain for the work at the moment, compared to how the drop in the bucket ...
I do not honestly what will happen should there be a burst of these derivative transactions ...

Ideas For Initiation Ceremonies

rarely laughed so ...

on Spiegel-Online can be found today
Campusbalz report. Tenor: The university is the perfect place to flirt. Supposedly an active sex life even accelerating their studies. Because:

" produced during sex, the body increases the hormones adrenaline and cortisol. It stimulates the brain," said Habermehl. There is some talk that a satisfying sex life favor the development of mental powers, especially in intensive learning subjects such as medicine, mathematics and physics , the high demands on combinatorics. "In order to stabilize, is a regular sex life a wonderful thing. "

Something else learned it, I thought but so far that a large part of the successes in these areas can serve as evidence of Freud's Sublimationstheorie. Who really knows

Casino Night Centerpieces

The return of the three-legged chair

nor the English science fiction series "The Tripods Rulers "? The series ran in the late 80 ZDF and was a reaction of the first two volumes of the novel-trialogues by John Christopher.

The scenario of the series was roughly as follows. The end of the 21st century, humanity from giant three-legged machine being controlled. The company is structured feudal, technology almost nonexistent. If the three-legged aliens or some runaway human experiment? The long remains a mystery. young people are subjected to a so-called "ordination." This will give them a golden metal plate on the skull planted. The goal is a kind of mind control.
A group of young people fleeing from their own dedication and embarks on to find the last free people. They are hunted by the bloodhounds of the three-legged chair.
the middle of the exciting action was then canceled the series and as far as I know never again repeated (as opposed to some other junk running in heavy rotation)
chance I have discovered today on the Fürther Grafflmarkt an anthology of three novels. For two euros I have accessed without hesitation. Now I'll finally learn how this story ends ...

Making A Model Of An Apartment

LHC Countdown

This week is the day: Wednesday is finally turned on the LHC at CERN. First, the proton beam can be operated with an energy of 0.45 TeV. Only in the course of October, then accelerated to 10 TeV. There were numerous media reports about the upcoming event. Unfortunately, among them some crap. That was last night in SPIEGEL TV announced a contribution as follows: "Who's afraid of the black hole," Go by this week the world? " Since you can only shake his head. One result of these dubious reports not only in Germany is that participating scientists, including Nobel Prize winners should have received death threats.

First of all we are this week still * sure * g, is operated as an accelerator in the U.S. for years with an energy of nearly 2 TeV. There too, the same people as now the LHC had tried to spread panic and to prevent the operation of court. And what was it? Nothing happened. So will it be this time too. From space the earth atmosphere is bombarded daily with particles having a multiple of energy. So we can rest easy.

And for the emergency has been thought of everything, as this proves to me in confidence that had received a photo from the LHC facility * ggg *

What Is Best To Use For Waxing Paper

Constituted

It's Saturday night and I'm stuck in my office! Argh ...
drove in the late afternoon to Erlangen to continue to make me think of a clever response to the reaction of the referee and was then directly into e-business on the 80 party. Now I still have a quick trip to the coffee machine made in the lecture halls and wanted to walk to the bus. But it's raining like mad ... And I'm only a t-shirt because, without an umbrella. So back to my office, now I wait half an hour on the next bus and hope the rain subsides, otherwise my evening program is now literally in the water ...
