Primes, Roots, and Cryptography

As you may already know, a prime number is one that has exactly two factors, 1 and itself. No number will divide a prime number and create a non decimal answer. It turns out too, that when you break down a number into its factors, the factors are always prime, whether the number itself is or not. This is especially useful when doing square roots. For example, when you factor the number 36, you get 2*2*3*3. This also means the root of 36 is root(2*2*3*3). Since the square root of a number times itself is just the number, it is easy to see that for each repeated number under the square root sign, we can pull one out as a whole number. So the square root of 36 is 2*3, or 6.

The same thing can be done for prime numbers, but you won't get any actual factors, and it would be silly to write 1 as a factor; it's kind of a given. Nonetheless, this same thing can be done for much larger numbers too. If we wanted to find root(220,000) we would of course need a calculator and the best place to start would be dividing by 2 because it is obvious that 2 will divide it. Anyway, we find that the factors are 2*2*2*2*2*5*5*5*5*11. So root(220,000) equals 2*2*5*5*root(5*11) or 100*root(55).

Occupy the White House

It occurred to me recently that reform is impossible with the people we have elected; obviously our government works for the 1%. One of the best candidates we have for president is Buddy Roemer, but the system is so corrupt that they don't allow him in the debates with one pretext or another; besides, the elections could be rigged.

Therefore, I propose organizing a massive walk to Washington to ask for Obama's resignation. We elected him to work for us and instead he is working for the corporate oligarchy; it is our constitutional right to replace him at any time. They did it in Egypt. We can do it here!

We choose a date and depart from New York, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego to meet in Washington DC at another set date (we can use vehicles part of the way if necessary). By the time we get there, enlisting occupiers along the way, we should number on the thousands. And we occupy until we install a new president and replace the Federal Reserve System (a banking cartel that stole our government in 1913 - it is unconstitutional) Please check: The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second look at the Federal Reserve, by G Edward Griffin.

The Dutch Attempt Colonization In The New World

Engaging in a voyage for the Dutch East India Company, in 1609, Henry Hudson was seeking a Northwest Passage to the Indies and the spices and wealth of Asia. Hudson's attempt was fruitless, but by it, learned that the mouth of Hudson River offered attractive possibilities for settlement, due to the fertility of the land and the possibilities of a profitable fur trade with the Iroquois Indians.

The Dutch East India Company quickly lost interest in this region, after the attempt to find a passage to the Far East had failed. However, other Dutch businessmen quickly sent voyages to explore, what is now New York, to seek out these new business opportunities, which ultimately led to permanent settlement. An important figure was Adrian Block, who sailed to Manhattan in the year 1613 and discovered; the Housatonic and Connecticut Rivers, Rhode Island, and Block Island. In 1614, other Dutch ship owners secured trading posts in the area, leading to the permanent settlement of Albany.

All of the early trading posts were established through the direct efforts of business firms, and not through the initiative of governments.

China's Influence Upon the Technology of Luster

What has been evenly fired reflects just like red gold... and it shines as brightly as the sun! Something like this was said in the early 14th century about the quality called "luster." The way ceramics have been used throughout the Europe and the Islamic world for over a thousand years pertains to this quality in particular. The luster technique of decorating is actually complicated and expensive. It requires three skilled craftsmen and enough fuel for three separate firings. In fact, luster potters are forced to regulate the firing conditions very cautiously if they are to be successful. One cannot understand this technique simply by looking at the final product either. Luster decorating demands an arcane knowledge of the chemical process along with the quantities of different materials needed. It is easy to understand why exact techniques were most likely passed along from potter to potter over time. For the Asian enthusiast, the logical question is: How did this precise technology come about through the help of China?

The skill that eventually developed into luster pottery may have been first invented to decorate glass in Syria or Egypt around 700 CE. It is true that some of the best inventions were discovered by people through an "accident." So it was in Iraq in the 9th century that the production of luster decorated ceramics first began to be noticed. It was also at this time, during the boom years of the Abbasid Empire, that new long haul trade routes opened up. These routes connected the Islamic world and Tang dynasty China (618-907 CE). As a result, glazed Chinese ceramic wares started to come into the Iraqi port of Basra.

Carmine "Lilo" Galante - The Cigar

He was as vicious as Mafia boss Vito Genovese, as ambitious as Vito Genovese, and he was deeply involved in the heroin business as was Vito Genovese. However, Carmine "The Cigar" Galante, would not die of natural causes as did Vito Genovese (albeit in prison). Instead, Galante was murdered in one of the most memorable mob hits of all time. After his body was filled with lead, he lay sprawled on his back in the tiny backyard patio of a Queens restaurant, his trademark cigar clenched tightly between his teeth.

Camillo Galante was born on February 21st, 1910, at 27 Stanton Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Because both his parents, Vincenzo, a fisherman, and his wife (maiden name Vingenza Russo) had been born in the seaside village of Castellammarese del Golfo in Sicily, Galante was a pure first generation Sicilian/America. Galante had two brothers and two sisters, and when he was in grade school, Galante ditched his given name Camillo, and insisted he be called Carmine instead. Over the years it was shortened to "Lilo," which was the name most of his associates called Galante.

Galante first got into trouble for petty theft from a store counter when he was fourteen years old. But since he was a juvenile at the time, an account of this arrest is not in his official police record.

At various times, Galante attended Public High Schools 79 and 120, but he dropped out of school for good at the age of fifteen. Galante was in and out of reform school several times, and was considered an "incorrigible delinquent."

From 1923 to 1926, Galante was ostensibly employed at the Lubin Artificial Flower Company at 270 West Broadway. However, this was a ruse to satisfy the law that Galante was gainfully employed, when, in fact, he was engaged in a very lucrative criminal career.

Make Your Video Better Using Stock News Clips

Any producer who does not use stock news clips is not only lowering the quality of his presentations, he is also wasting valuable time and money. Video news reels can be dropped into a larger story easily because they are short, finished pieces. There are three primary types you can use to enhance your video production: conceptual clips, current news clips and archival clips. These can be added to your own footage to complete a story, used alone, or in combination with each other. Here is an explanation of each type of news footage clip and ideas of ways they can be best used.

1. Current news clips. A complete, current news story can be made by joining a narration to clips that are only a day or even a few hours old. They can be quickly put into a video to add current national and world news to your presentation without breaking your budget.

2. Archival clips. Many current stories are based on past news events. Help your audience gain an understanding of what is going on by including a short clip of former events that led to today's news. Most announcements of the death of Steve Jobs, for example, included news clips of him unveiling well-known products.

Barb Jacobs, a media specialist for a large VA hospital is in charge of producing a daily video clip of the day's events to be played on the building's closed circuit TV's. "I need stock clips to get stuff out quickly. If we are planning a Pearl Harbor Day service, then an archival clip of the attack does a lot, not only to help the audience understand why the ceremony is solemn and sacred but also to add drama to the announcement."

The Old West Versus the New West

The wild frontier of the 1880s is alive in the hearts of many. But unfortunately, it seems to be a dead issue in the hearts of our younger generation. I can understand this because as cities grow and technology races forward, our children are extremely busy trying to keep up with our rapidly advancing world. There is no time to introduce them to the details of the Old West and the advantages of learning about their ancestors who helped found our country. Because they don't know many of the details of the past, they don't have time to muse about life then and now, and compare the differences, both the good and the bad.

I wonder how the children of today would cope in the 1880s, and conversely, what the children of the 1880s would think of today's world. In the Old West there were no cars, no school buses, and the children of that era had no conception of cell phones or electronic games. Life was lived at a different level, but it was an important level for it helped shape our lives of today.

I often wonder what Wyatt Earp (1848-1929) would think of today's world, and what the women of the 1880s would think about our microwave ovens, fast food, and plastic wrap. When the women of olden times cooked a meal, they used heavy iron pans that wouldn't melt in an open flame. This was quite unlike today's world when we can take a slice of pizza or a piece of fried chicken, put it on a paper plate in the microwave oven and have it warmed up to eating temperature in a few seconds.

How to Start a Preschool Business

In any business, there is a rigid competition by various investors. This is the reason why some businesses don't last long. Strategic planning is very crucial as there are a lot of trials to be encountered during business operation.

When planning to engage in the world of commerce, you must be knowledgeable on the demands of society. For example, primary education is very important for each child. So, consider starting a preschool if you think you possess all requirements. You just need to invest and wisely budget your revenue for future expenses. In addition, you are able to share your acquired knowledge to children. You will become a part of their growth as you are the first one to teach them basic lectures.

Now that the advantages have been enumerated, the next question is - how to start a preschool business?

The Remarkable Love And Respect Of Wife And First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy

In the 1947 Miss Porter's school yearbook, one young Jacqueline Lee Bouvier stated that one of her ambitions was "not to be a housewife". Although she maintained a determined intellect and a fierce independence in pursuing personal interests and nurturing her own talents throughout life, her marriage to John Kennedy and subsequent life as a wife and homemaker definitively shaped the rest of her life, and the public's perception of first ladies ever since. Although noted in some works as a study in contradictions--craving solitude but seeking out security in marriage, a social snob at times but a lover and protector of art and all things beautiful--Jackie has overall been referred to as The Kennedy Blessing, and rightly so. Together, this remarkable couple portrayed a certain innocence and optimism that anything is possible at a time when American desperately needed it.

Reading: Its Golden Virtues and Hidden Dangers

There are few leisure activities that nourish and enrich the human mind as much as reading. It brings its wonderful lovers into rich and far-flung places without ever making a single step; but, unfortunately, many have abandoned this most marvelous pastime. Others, sheared of the critical cornerstones of elementary learning, have not been able to avail themselves to this most wonderful human recreation.

This article's arch objectives are to explain and demonstrate the golden beauty and wonderful benefits of reading; to warn readers about the ever lurking danger of devouring harmful, polluted literary materials that are not only destructive to them, but to society as well; and to encourage society to dive headlong into the refreshing pool of good reading and enjoy that hidden world of beauty and wonder that lies behind the pages of good, wholesome writing.

The world of warm, inspiring reading is an endless train of beautiful, enriching academic thought that cleanses, nourishes, strengthen, and polishes the magnificent gem of the human mind. There is nothing in the world that is as powerful and rich as the mind of man. It is replete with natural gifts, talents, and skills. Few people really realize how much power and potential are stored right in the treasury of their minds. Many wander from place to place looking feverishly for happiness, prosperity, wealth, and meaning to their empty existence without realizing that all they have ever needed and will ever desire is all stored right there in the quaint archive and golden vault of their minds. All people in the world were born wealthy: The wealth is in their minds; but, because they do not understand this aspect of life's tenebrous mystery, many die as paupers when indeed they should have led a life of wealth, splendor, luxury, prosperity, and pomp. A casual glance at the world's big shots overwhelmingly verifies this simple, yet often overlooked, fact that all human beings were born rich. This solemn and most crucial point is mentioned at this juncture to underscore the fact that good, wholesome reading nourishes, enlightens, and polishes the often coarse-looking pearl of the human mind. Once the pearl is properly fed with the nourishing aliments of good reading and polished with clean, positive, wholesome thoughts; the gems that it contains begin to shine and once seemingly worthless, empty lives bloom with grace, talent, and hitherto undiscovered potential.

Harry Truman's World War II Proclamation

The Christmas of 1945 was to Americans one of the most memorable of the 20th century. For four years the world had been at war with an unforgettable totalitarian regime bent on world domination. After the loss of hundreds of thousands of American soldiers, many of whom were just ordinary men, and the slow-moving recovery from the Great Depression, by August of 1945, victory over the Japanese empire had finally been achieved and declared. The American Spirit and endurance of its people had been tried and found resilient. President Truman, recognizing the time and timing of such a long-fought war, declared a four-day weekend for federal employees, a sort of special reward for those who were in one way or another directly or indirectly involved in the worst international crisis the country had ever experienced up to that time.

67 years have passed since the War's end, and it's official declaration came on a Tuesday: December 25th, 1945. Now featured in the collection is a fine relic and reminder of this long hope, one of the more important documents of World War II. Notably signed and historically inscribed by President Truman, he thoughtfully took the time to prepare a special Christmas present for his acting Press Secretary E. A. Ayers. To her he kindly wrote: "This was a happy birthday for me. I hope this will be a happy Christmas for you - 12/25/45". The proclamation called upon Americans to devote a day of prayer as a result of the surrender of Germany. It was also declared that this special prayer day will be Sunday, May 13th, 1945.

Marilyn Monroe - Front Cover Of Life Magazine in 1958

In 1954, skirt blowing and smile beaming on Lexington and 53rd avenue in New York City, Marilyn Monroe catapulted to international fame in the motion picture The Seven Year Itch. Having become a beauty queen, sex symbol, aspiring actress, and a celebrity of continual speculation and interpretation, Marilyn changed the film industry, photography, and the perception of the role of women and the changing American family for decades to come. Even among those still following the effect and impact of her life and contributions, controversy still abounds as to whether her skill as an actress ever truly got the recognition it deserved. Books and revelations seem to continue to come out each year, shedding new light and new spin to who she was and what happened in the circumstances leading up to her death, and its aftermath.

She appeared in many successful films, and due to typecasting, played various roles as part of a discovery process in finding out what she enjoyed the most as well as how to best market her developing skills. She often played what at the time was the new 'Sexy' dumb blonde role in movies such as How To Marry A Millionaire (1953) and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953). She showed her incredible talent in the now famous Some Like It Hot (1959). Other titles in which she starred were Bus Stop (1956) and The Misfits (1961).

The most indelible items of memorabilia from her life are the photographs, still engrained in the memories of many. In an 8.5 x 10-inch Life Magazine (in color, fairly new at the time), Monroe has signed "Love, Marilyn Monroe" in the lower, right-hand corner across her legs. Her first appearance in Life Magazine being in June of 1952, this photo-op ran in December of 1958. In this particular image, she agreed to have her makeup and hair rearranged so that she might pose as Marlene Dietrich. poses in the appropriate makeup as Marlene Dietrich. Other photos in this collection include a phenomenal sepia-toned photo, and another semi-profile shot with blonde curls, donning a white collar and tan coat.

How to Cross the Financial Hurdle for a US Education

SO you've got or think you will get admission into a college of your choice in the US. Now what? The next question many students struggle with is how to pay for it.

The number of students from India studying at colleges and universities in the United States rose to a total of nearly 105,000 during the 2009/ 10 academic year, according to a report published annually by the Institute of International Education (IIE) with support from the U. S. Government.

But, the report goes on to say, 62 per cent of international students in the US funded themselves with only 38 per cent finding funds from other sources. In other words, competition for financial aid is intense. Aid comes in three main formats - full or partial scholarships, teaching or research assistantships where you work a set number of hours a week in exchange for tuition waivers and a stipend, or loans, which often require a guarantor, usually in the US. And who gets the coveted aid? It seems that winning financial aid has become somewhat of an entrepreneurial endeavor. While merit still rules, careful planning, calculated risk taking, positioning and resourcefulness have become critical.

Where to Find a Heavy Equipment Training Guide?

Heavy equipment requires training and experience in order for an operator to handle it efficiently and with minimum damages, injury and time wastage. National schools are now offering candidates a heavy equipment training guide and hands on training to make operators control their machinery with more knowledge, confidence and expertise.

Construction and housing are major drivers in an economy. The US economy and most world economies are presently going through recession and shedding jobs in all sectors. For the economy in the US to recover, more money has to be poured into infrastructure projects to stimulate drivers like the construction industry. Stalling investment in such sectors has been hurting growth and not providing a necessary stimulus. Recently the British government promised a multi billion pound drive to encourage new ventures in large infrastructure projects. Way back in 2008, President Obama had promised to boost the floundering economy and create 2.5 million jobs by January 2011 by kick-starting stalled infrastructure projects. More action is needed by politicians to implement those plans and create the required impetus in the construction industry. Once the economy turns around the workers who have taken courses from certified and recognised heavy equipment training schools will be the ones in most demand.

Crane operators hold responsible positions in the construction industry. The machinery they operate may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Contractors generally hire old experienced hands. If they hire entry level candidates, it is always preferable for them to have a heavy equipment training guide to have briefed them prior to taking up the job.

Growth of a Proficient Reader

The process of understanding to read materializes using a systematic and linear approach. Competencies is gradually layered on through many years of education to produce a proficient reader. While each child learns differently, the ranges of reading commonly follow each other the same way for all learners, as cognitive progress plays a part in the development of reading competencies as well.

Proceeding through each stage of reading improvement is primarily based on mastering the previous stage. Some children may take more time to understand each skill level, while others breeze right through. You may see some students get "stuck" in one stage and need additional instruction to move on to more abstract skills.

Some continuums of reading development describe the intensity of skills according to age or grade levels. Other reading curriculums avoid leveling children by age or grade and devise a unique system of leveling literature. This can be helpful for people who teach using a homeschool curriculum.

Pre-emergent Reading

Parents can begin working on pre-emergent reading competencies with their children at birth. Is a newborn really going to attach meaning to the pictures? Probably not. However, this is the ideal time to get started developing a reading regimen as a household through use of books and educational toys. Make sure kids have access to a variety of books. Educate your child how to gently turn pages working from left to right. Beginning around age two, your young preschooler will start to connect pictures to the words in the story. You may hear him reciting a story that you regularly read together or making a small prediction about what will happen next. These are all excellent examples of children developing pre-literacy skills.

Baba Yaga and the Chicken-Legged Hut

Baba Yaga is a famous witch in Russian folklore about whom many stories were told. One of the things which are unusual about Baba Yaga is that unlike other witches, she does not ride a broom. Instead, she pushes herself across the forest floor with a pestle in a mortar (in which she barely fits). She can also fly across the sky in this uncomfortable position as well. In some stories it was said that she also had two sisters(also named Baba Yaga, to help make things really confusing).

She lives in a hut that dances around on a pair of chicken legs. The keyhole to her front door is a mouth filled with sharp teeth.The fence outside is made with human bones with skulls on top, often with one pole lacking its skull, leaving space for the hero or heroes of the stories.

Although Baba Yaga is sometimes portrayed as an ugly, malevolent force, some characters in other folk stories have been known to seek her out for her wisdom, and she has been known on rare occasions to offer guidance to lost souls. and stories in which she kidnaps children and threatens to eat them. It may be that the "child eating" portion of her depiction was formed to keep children from wandering off into the woods or to behave or "Baba Yaga would come for them".
