"When you're on one of the Caribbean islands, sometimes it's hard to picture how they fit with the rest, but when you see them all joined together like a necklace from space, you see the natural geographic connectedness of them all." -Chris Hadfield "When you grow up on an island, what matters is how you stand to the sea." -Roddy Doyle "The beauty and mystery of the ocean fill our lives with wonders, vast beyond our imagination." -M.L. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh "The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient.

Only those who brave its dangers, comprehend its mystery!" -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "Small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos can shift the whole system to a higher order." -Barbara Marx Hubbard "Knowledge is an island surrounded by a sea of mystery." -Chet Raymo "The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder." -Ralph Washington Sockman As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance." -John Archibald Wheeler "We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. "Little islands are all large prisons one cannot look at the sea without wishing for the wings of a swallow." -Sir Richard Francis Burton In getting to know nature man exalts the wonder and beauty of life." -Martiros Saryan But this short life is long and beautiful.

"No man is an island, entire of itself every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main." -John Donne "I feel we are all islands-in a common sea." -Anne Marrow Lindbergh "Everyone knew that all islands were worlds unto themselves, that to come to an island was to come to another world." -Guy Gavriel Kay "Islands are natural workshops of evolution." -Richard Dawkins To breathe the warm and salty air and dream of things to be." -Erica Billups "How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of good will." -Albert Einstein "The beach is not a place to work to read, write or to think." -Anne Marrow Lindbergh "Mind on a permanent vacation, the ocean is my only medication, wishing my condition isn't ever going to go away." -Jimmy Buffett "Paradise is not a place, it's a state of mind." -Frank Sonnenberg "It is better to have your head in the clouds, and know where you are…than to breathe the clearer atmosphere below them, and think that you are in paradise." -Henry David Thoreau Whether you are looking to relax, unwind, or need a change of scenery, life on a tropical island is just what you need.

Two cannons to balance the negative qi of the Bank of China building ©Dezeen Beacon of ReassuranceĬonstructed on the site of the old HSBC building, the skyscraper was conceived during a sensitive period in Hong Kong’s history. Hence, two cannon-shaped protrusions were installed on the roof, pointing directly back at the Bank of China, said to balance its negative qi. Shortly after the Bank of China building was completed, the Governor died and there was a sharp downturn in HSBC’s fiscal fortunes. One knife edge pointed towards the British Government House, while the other faced the HSBC building. In 1990, IM Pei’s Bank of China building was constructed nearby and its sharp corners were seen as knife edges, slashing away the good fortune of its neighbours. Public plaza with the escalators built at an angle ©Fosters & Partners The unobstructed view of Victoria Harbour was considered a sign of prosperity as water is strongly associated with wealth in feng shui. The public plaza escalators were built at an angle, as it is believed that evil spirits can only travel in straight lines. The open atrium facilitated the flow of wind and positive qi through the building. A feng shui geomancer was, thus, consulted during the designing of the skyscraper.

Testing and quality-control checks, and the need for adhering to regulations – things The importance of validated and peer-reviewed data, the need for rigorous It is shocking that a company could get so far with technology that never performed as promised, and Carreyrou lays out the various scenarios and circumstances that contributed to it. However, fraud and irresponsibility by a health technology company like Theranos, and at such a massive scale at that, is even more dangerous considering the direct harm to patients’ lives. It is common knowledge that most, if not all, companies in Silicon Valley have skeletons in their closets that make headlines when they are revealed. Expanding the article into a book, Carreyrou walks us through how the company was formed, how it grew to become one worth over $9 billion, and finally, how it dissolved in September 2018. In October 2015, a reporter from the Wall Street Journal, John Carreyrou, published an article revealing that the company has been misleading investors and consumers, that the blood tests analyzed by Theranos devices were inaccurate and unreliable, and that a lot of the tests were actually performed by third-party commercial analyzers. In January 2003, a 19-year-old Elizabeth Holmes founded Theranos with the vision of enabling multiple diagnostics tests to be run from a small volume of blood obtained from a finger-prick rather than the traditional venous blood draw, using the company’s small, portable, automated devices. For instance, the book portrays the harsh reality of working in industry when a team of engineers were laid off because the research was headed in a new direction and they were not needed there anymore. I think students interested in careers in industry, entrepreneurship, venture capital, or science policy will gain some perspectives from reading this book. While there are plenty of resources out there that help you understand how to search for a job, determine if it is a good fit and notice red flags, this book paints a picture of life in the biotech industry, both as an entrepreneur and as an employee. I was especially interested in it given its relevance to the biotech industry and on recently finishing the book, I realized GSBS students might also find it interesting and thought of sharing a little bit about it. One of the books that was recommended by a friend was “ Bad Blood – Secrets and Lies of a Silicon Valley Startup” by John Carreyrou, based on the rise and fall of the blood-testing company, Theranos. I began to read more than usual because of social distancing, going through the list of books I had been planning to read for a while. Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security Software.That could in change in the coming months once the updated suite is released, but for now we’re not excited about it. To sum up, ZoneAlarm Extreme Security is good in terms of protection, but in terms of overall value it’s not on par with competing suites. Pricing is also a concern since it’s not as competitive after the first year is up. Chrome covers a lot of users, but it’s not what everyone uses. Yes, there are tons of safe browsing extensions out there, but when you’re trying to sell the complete package, it should be, well, complete. There are no considerations for Firefox or Edge, which isn’t very extreme. That is set to change at some point this year, and we’re interested to try the new ZoneAlarm when it rolls out.Įxtreme Security also has a single safe browsing extension that is only for Chrome. It’s way too outdated, and it doesn’t look good on high-resolution screens. The desktop app is, I hate to say it, terrible. There’s no doubt that ZoneAlarm Extreme Security offers good protection, but when you’re looking at a paid product, that’s not the only consideration. Norton Security Premium, for example, is $120 per year for 10 devices at the non-promotional price. That’s pretty good pricing for the first subscription period, but it’s way too high after that, based on the MSRPs CheckPoint displays on its website. If you want to cover 10 devices it will cost $80 for the first year, and then $180 for each year after that. ZoneAlarm Extreme Security has a promotional price of $45 for a year, covering five devices. Those were the only two tests where there was a notable difference.īy our reckoning, with ZoneAlarm installed you may see a bit of a hit with media rich applications, but overall it shouldn’t get in your way too much. In the file-transfer test it actually performed a little bit faster, by nearly two minutes, with ZoneAlarm running. The test PC’s performance took a hit of 74 points in the PC Mark 10 Extended test. In the July-September SE Labs report, ZoneAlarm was also awarded a AAA rating, but it missed one public threat while stopping everything else, including targeted attacks.įor our in-house performance tests ZoneAlarm did fairly well. SE Labs gave ZoneAlarm its highest rating, AAA, in the testing house’s October-December 2019 report, but it didn’t explain whether the suite missed anything. The former used 335 samples and the latter nearly 26,000. ZoneAlarm Extreme Security’s Antivirus & Firewall controls.ĪV-Test gave Check Point’s ZoneAlarm Pro a 100 percent rating in September and October for its zero-day and malware real-world tests, and its widespread and prevalent malware test. Oddly, on Android at least, there is an automated VPN to protect your browsing while on open Wi-Fi. In addition to the desktop app, there are also apps for Android and iOS. We regularly note how these tools are not much of a benefit as they can easily be acquired for free from third parties, or are already built into Windows 10. The suite is also lacking PC tune-up tools, though we can hardly fault Check Point for that. This section is best left alone for most users. The two-way firewall allows for rule setting, permissions for VPN protocols, locking the hosts file, and so on. Regular users who need a set-it-and-forget-it solution will find it problematic if they happen to install a program that isn’t on Check Point’s whitelist. That was a pain but easily solved by setting a higher trust level for all of the FutureMark components.Įasily solved, that is, for anyone who knows their way around Windows PCs. In our tests, Application Control was a little too aggressive and wouldn’t allow PCMark 10 to run its Extended test. The former is a cloud-based feature to help prevent zero-day attacks, while Application Control prevents untrusted applications from running. You can start a manual scan, or turn on and off features such as Threat Emulation and Application Control. This secondary screen is where you have all the controls for your antivirus. Click on one of the tiles, and you end up on a secondary interface with three tabs that have the same names as the tiles from the previous screen-making the first screen superfluous. Genshin Impact is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and mobile devices – Android, and iOS. Overall, any character capable of frequently enabling both Melt and Vaporize can work well. For a Melt-focused composition, we recommend Qiqi + Sacrificial Sword, or Diona + Sacrificial Bow, + Kaeya. If you are using the Dragon’s Bane polearm, we recommend the use of a Vaporize-focused team featuring both Xingqiu/Mona and Barbara. Our main picks on this subject would be Xingqiu, who is able of dealing high elemental damage at close intervals while applying Hydro to enemies, Barbara, Qiqi, or Diona, since they offer effective and constant healing while also enabling the reactions, and Zhongli, who can not only shield its teammates but also deal high Burst damage to enemies. As you can see, it’s ideal that you pick characters capable of fulfilling two roles for each position. It increases her HP by 20, and provides an attack boost based on 0.8 of her max HP. We recommend the following composition: Hu Tao + Healer/Enabler + Enabler/Sub DPS + Shield Support/Damage. Hu Taos signature five-star polearm is, unsurprisingly, one of the best weapons for her. With that said, you need a team capable of allowing her to trigger both the Vaporize (Hydro+Pyro) and Melt (Cryo+Pyro) reactions, which, differently from the other ones in the game, scale of ATK.

Dehya can direct some of the damage to herself while Hu Tao is on the field and both can characters benefit from the Double Hydro Resonance. Dehyas Elemental Skill triggers slow enough that it cant override a Hydro Aura on the enemy. Baizhu can also buff dendro reactions making him a great healer for characters in Aggravate teams like Cyno and Keqing.

Not only was Tilton’s net worth below the billion-plus she claimed-Forbes pegged it at roughly $830 million at the time-but her firm was also underperforming. (Oprah held the top spot that year, with an estimated $2.7 billion net worth.)īut Forbes soon uncovered a very different story. Tilton’s counsel tried to convince Forbes she was worth some $1.7 billion, which would have made her the fifth-richest self-made woman in the world at the time. What’s not in question: Tilton’s fortune has tumbled since 2011, when Forbes set out to answer the central question: Who is Lynn Tilton? While leading Patriarch, she billed herself as the “ diva of distressed” on a reality TV show that never saw the light of day. Tilton undertook extraordinary efforts to save TransCare and preserve the jobs of its employees,” the statement claimed. In a statement to Forbes, a representative for Tilton said she and Patriarch “strongly disagree” with the recent TransCare ruling and plan to appeal it further as soon as possible. “Somebody has full control over an organization that’s spiraling out of control, they try to move things around so they can take the good assets out and leave the toxic assets to go into bankruptcy, and then because they're a fiduciary of that entity, whatever actions they took are going to be looked at under a microscope.” Todd Brown, a professor at SUNY Buffalo’s law school who specializes in bankruptcy and business law. Nonetheless, borrowers should keep in mind that banks may impose stipulations governing prepayments since they reduce a bank's earnings on a given mortgage. The earlier a borrower makes prepayments, the more it reduces the overall interest paid, typically leading to quicker mortgage repayment. These additional payments reduce the outstanding balance of a mortgage, resulting in a shorter mortgage term. By paying half of the monthly amount every two weeks, that person can save nearly $30,000 over the life of the loan.Ī prepayment is a lump sum payment made in addition to regular mortgage installments. This will result in significant savings on a mortgage.įor example, suppose a borrower has a $150,000 mortgage amortized over 25 years with an interest rate of 6.45% repaid in biweekly rather than monthly installments. Switching to a more frequent mode of payment, such as biweekly payments, has the effect of a borrower making an extra annual payment. Most financial institutions offer several payment frequency options besides making one payment per month. This would result in a savings of over $14,000. This technique can save borrowers a considerable amount of money.įor example, a borrower who has a $150,000 mortgage amortized over 25 years at an interest rate of 5.45% can pay it off 2.5 years sooner by paying an extra $50 a month over the life of the mortgage. One way to pay off a mortgage faster is to make small additional payments each month. Nonetheless, assuming a mortgage agreement allows for faster repayment, a borrower can employ the following techniques to reduce mortgage balances more quickly and save money: Thus, a borrower may first need to check with the lending bank to see if utilizing such strategies is allowed. Moreover, some loan contracts may not explicitly permit some loan reduction techniques. The amortization table shows how a loan can concentrate the larger interest payments towards the beginning of the loan, increasing a bank's revenue. However, lengthier loans help to boost the profit of the lending banks. In many situations, a borrower may want to pay off a mortgage earlier to save on interest, gain freedom from debt, or other reasons. Amortizing a Mortgage Faster and Saving Money The calculator can also estimate other costs associated with homeownership, giving the borrower a more accurate financial picture of the costs associated with owning a home. For example, a bank would amortize a five-year, $20,000 loan at a 5% interest rate into payments of $377.42 per month for five years. The amortization table below illustrates this process, calculating the fixed monthly payback amount and providing an annual or monthly amortization schedule of the loan. As the borrower approaches the end of the loan term, the bank will apply nearly all of the payment to reducing principal. In other words, the interest portion of each payment will decrease as the loan's remaining principal balance falls. Over time, the balance of the loan falls as the principal repayment gradually increases. The principal is the portion of the payment devoted to paying down the loan balance. Interest is the fee for borrowing the money, usually a percentage of the outstanding loan balance. Each payment is composed of two parts, interest and principal. In most cases, the amortized payments are fixed monthly payments spread evenly throughout the loan term. Nonetheless, our mortgage amortization calculator is specially designed for home mortgage loans. Using this technique, the loan balance will fall with each payment, and the borrower will pay off the balance after completing the series of scheduled payments.īanks amortize many consumer-facing loans such as home mortgage loans, auto loans, and personal loans. In the context of a loan, amortization is a way of spreading the loan into a series of payments over a period of time. |
