The Le Mans Classic, a mecca with regard to classic racing enthusiasts all over the world, returns for its 10th version after four years
" Light is actually right" may be the slogan regarding Richard Mille, who, such as the big racing circuit, will be committed to finding and removing excess weight in his watch styles. The watch brand is uncompromising in the choice of materials, technologies and functionality for its timepieces, and its core mission would be to drive innovation in the support of improving sophistication, specialized operation, efficiency, strength as well as wearing comfort.
On the personal level, Richard Mille himself is passionate about race, sailing and aviation. A vehicle collector and driver, this individual encouraged his children in order to ride shotguns with your pet at historic races.
This made Rich Mille's choice of Formula 1 motorists and stables to represent the rand name on the track a logical option. One of the first Formula 1 drivers to dress his watch was Switzerland driver Sebastian Buemi, who had been racing for Toro Rossiccio at the time. It was a smart selection for Richard Mille because Buemi is now the Method E World Champion and won his fourth The Mans 24 Hours for Toyota with Richard Mille in the wrist!
Along with motor racing today, Rich Mille is involved in traditional races, first and foremost events managed by his long-time friend Patrick Peter, organizer associated with Art and Elegance at Chantilly, Princess Rally, Legend Move and Le Mans Typical, after a four-year absence because of Covid restrictions, makes a triumphal return this year.
Game start The actual Le Mans Classic is really a retrospective of the 24 Hours regarding Le Mans, a famous race car that will commemorate its centenary next year. In a single weekend, the race discovered the history of the event, along with cars racing between 1923 and 1981 on 6 grids. 8, 500 collector's cars and 750 historical racing cars gathered in the legendary Sarthe circuit, setting up the longest length of time (13, 626 km) for the event. 200, 000 delighted vistors watched.
Formulations for the weekend's main occasion include test drives, golf club parades and several races, such as an impressive 1980s Group D race. There was also a demonstration showing the 1991 Votre Mans winning car, the Mazda 787 B having a 2 . 6-liter rotary motor producing 700 horsepower, the roar made it possible to be able to pinpoint its position from the opposite end of the track! Impressive things.
Saturday noticeable the official start of 1600 hours, just like the original twenty four hours of Le Mans. The very first event is Little Large Mans, miniature replicas in the original 24-hour enduro vehicles driven by children older 7 to 12. These people completed a lap on the Bugatti circuit (the smaller sized permanent Le Mans signal that doesn't use public roads). That's a good start for these upcoming racing champions!
Next up are the six primary grids, starting with Grid four, where cars from the Frd GT40, AC Cobra, Bizzarini, Alfa TZ and Nélombo Elan battle it out intended for 45 minutes. It was followed by the actual Grid 5 with the Porsche 017, the Lola T70 and the stunning Howmet TEXAS with the unique sound of the helicopter engine. The last begin time is Sunday in 4pm.
Rich Miller, most hosts For a few lucky people, Weekend night means Richard Miller's event. The plan includes a bbq at the Mulsanne Golf Club, that is normally inaccessible during Ce Mans as it is located opposing the pine on the southern side of the track and will be accessed along the general public track (the main entry to the golf club is shut weekend). But that did not hold back for Richard Innumerevoli and his team, who commandeered any fleet of classic military automobiles from WWII jeeps for you to GMC trucks, driven through military enthusiasts in full army uniforms - a bonus for your lucky guests. Kind of an enjoyable disorientation! Once installed on the top terrace of the Mulsanne Club, overlooking the Boulevard Bentley mulsanne, the jazz mix and also the sumptuous buffet create a joyful atmosphere.
Limited Edition RM 029 Automatique Le Mans Classique To celebrate the The Mans Classic and its 10th return, Richard Mille provides the RM 029 Programmé Le Mans Classic. Followers will immediately recognise typical green and white colour pallette of one of the world's best classic motoring events, skillfully deployed to accentuate key figures such as the 16 for the commence time and, of course , the twenty four. This 150-piece limited release pays homage to the Votre Mans Classic with a white-colored Quartz TPT® strap and also green Quartz TPT® viser. The use of green quartz TPT® is a first for the brand name. The movement is a skeletonized RMAS7 in grade five titanium. When I visited the particular paddock, I had the enjoyment of wearing it on my hand for a while and was from how light and comfortable this timepiece was - like almost all Richard Mille creations. It can true: light is absolutely correct!

Since the inception of the line, "Wings" have been part of the Air Jordan story. They were branded on the Air Jordan 1, portrayed on Michael Jordan's most famous Nike poster and inspire this upcoming Air Jordans 12.
The colorway here is a straightforward "Playoffs" look that features gold accents, with one of them replacing the "Jumpman" text of the retail pair with "Wings."

Troubled Infrastructure Management software developer Peregrine Systems has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company has boosted its chances of a successful reorganization by agreeing to sell Remedy business unit to BMC Software, Inc. for $350 million, and securing a commitment from BMC for up to $110 million of in debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing.
Citing the financial and legal issues raised by the company’s inability to file audited financial reports for the 2000, 2001, and 2002 fiscal years, among other reasons, Peregrine Systems, Inc. has announced that it has filed a voluntary petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Excluded from the filing are all of Peregrine’s other subsidiaries, including those located outside of the United States, and Peregrine Solutions, a new wholly owned subsidiary established to enhance customer relationships.
Peregrine also announced that it has entered into an agreement whereby BMC Software, Inc. will acquire all of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities of its Remedy business unit for $350 million. To facilitate the transaction, Peregrine Remedy, Inc., has also filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition. The sale agreement is subject to approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Peregrine said that the company has received a commitment for up to $110 million in debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing from BMC Software. The DIP financing will replace the company’s existing senior credit facility. These funds will be used to enable the company to meet its commitments to its employees, to fund vendor obligations going forward, and to assure uninterrupted business operations. The proceeds from the sale of Remedy will be used to pay back the DIP financing and to settle past debts. The remaining proceeds from the sale will provide the company with funds to continue operating its business.
The company also announced that its board has directed outside counsel to file a lawsuit against Arthur Andersen, LLP, Arthur Andersen Germany and Arthur Andersen Worldwide S.C., Daniel Stulac, the audit partner on the account, and other defendants to be named later, seeking damages in excess of $250 million for each of the four causes of action in the complaint. The lawsuit alleges that the aforementioned defendants were negligent, engaged in fraud and breached their audit and accounting duties and responsibilities.
Gary Greenfield, Peregrine’s CEO, stated, These actions represent a significant milestone in our strategic initiatives to take control of our own destiny. We have already accomplished a great deal in our planned reorganization initiatives. We have successfully negotiated a forbearance agreement with our factor banks and divested non-core business units. Chapter 11 represents the next step in this process. It provides us with the time and the means to complete the resolution of our financial and legal issues, while we maintain normal business operations.
Today’s actions represent a new beginning that will allow a financially stable Peregrine to put the challenges of the past behind it, so that the company can take full advantage of its acknowledged leadership position in developing and marketing software to manage the business of technology infrastructure. We have the largest installed base in the IT Infrastructure Management space in the world, and we fully intend to leverage that leadership position going forward, Greenfield said.
Commenting on the sale of Remedy, Greenfield stated, In June we made the decision to operate Remedy as a separate business unit. The sale of Remedy to BMC provides security for the employees and customers of both Peregrine and Remedy into the future. Now, Peregrine customers know that their investment in our software is protected. And Remedy customers and employees will be in good hands with BMC Software. We intend to work closely with BMC to assure a smooth transition of all aspects of the Remedy business, and support those customers who use both Peregrine and Remedy products. We are confident that our customers and partners will be supportive of our efforts.
Uninterrupted Business Operations
Daily operations at Peregrine’s business units, Peregrine and Remedy, will continue as usual. Employees will continue to report to work and will be paid as always; suppliers will be paid in the ordinary course of business for goods and services provided following the filing.
Peregrine plans to seek and expects to receive the court’s immediate permission to continue to pay employee wages, salaries, incentive pay, and reimbursable expenses, as well as to continue all employee medical, workers’ compensation and similar benefits without any interruption.
Greenfield stated, Our number one priority is to continue to serve the Infrastructure Management software needs of our customers, and to demonstrate why these solutions remain worthy of the high regard and dominant leadership position that they have attained in the marketplace. Our consolidated service desk and asset management suites create operational efficiencies that reduce costs and maximize return, enabling better informed management decisions. Going forward we intend to build upon our products, expertise and the high-profile customer base to enhance our leadership position.
With up to $110 million in DIP financing and the protections provided under the Bankruptcy Code for post-petition purchases, we are confident our suppliers will continue to support us while we complete our restructuring, Greenfield added.
In an effort to make it easier for our customers to do business with the company, Peregrine also has formed a new subsidiary – Peregrine Solutions. It will be dedicated to assuring stability and continuity for ongoing customer relationships.
Peregrine Solutions provides customers with the opportunity to enter into new license and support agreements for Peregrine and Remedy products with a business that is not included in the Chapter 11 filing, Greenfield stated

As part of this quarter’s theme of Financial Markets and Risk we asked our portfolio of Kent Business School Academics to share their views on the US Presidential Election. Dr Nikolaos Voukelatos, Lecturer in Finance, focusses his research on the general area of Financial Econometrics, and in particular option-implied distributions, option returns and forecasting. Dr Nikolaos Voukelatos provided the following comment on the election result.
US presidential elections tend to dominate world news in a way that no other scheduled events do. Press coverage increases significantly as we move across the (ever expanding) campaign period, and it reaches its peak in the couple of weeks before and after the election result is announced. This year’s presidential elections were no exception.
So, Donald Trump is going to be the new President of the United States of America. How did financial markets interpret the election results? After all, this is the typical example of a “putting your money where your mouth is” opinion. We do not have to rely on what investors say, we can gauge their opinions by actually observing how they tend to reallocate their money in anticipation of or following certain news.
Financial markets’ reaction
In terms of financial markets’ reaction, the biggest surprise of the election result was the fact that the markets did not seem particularly surprised by it. During the campaign period, a very clear pattern had emerged. Every time that results from a new poll were released, US and international markets reacted in a very predictable way.
Polls that came out with an increased likelihood of a Clinton presidency were typically associated with a positive market reaction, while polls that showed Trump gaining ground on the presidency were followed by a noticeable market drop. This pattern led almost everyone to confidently conclude that market participants had reached a consensus on Clinton as their preferred candidate.
This view was momentarily vindicated when markets experienced a substantial drop as the final results were being announced in the early hours of Wednesday. Then, something perhaps unexpected happened: markets very quickly bounced back. Not only that, but some market indices have since reached record highs.
The Dow Jones index in the US is currently set to hit a record high, the FTSE100 in the UK jumped significantly, European shares are rallying and Asia-Pacific stock markets are experiencing their biggest boom for a long time. What could possibly explain such a dramatic change of beliefs?
A lot has been made about Trump’s victory speech on Wednesday morning being noticeably more moderate and “presidential” compared to his speeches during the campaign. This has prompted some to suggest that investors and analysts have, as a result, re-assessed their expectations about Trump’s economic policies towards a more moderate level. Although not impossible, this seems very unlikely.
It is hard to see how the myriad of comments about things that are typically not well received by financial analysts (for example Trump’s persistent proposal of raising protectionist barriers in certain industries), let alone the politically inflammatory comments, could be suddenly dwarfed by a short speech of a man who had just won the biggest prize in politics globally.
A more likely explanation is perhaps the “buy the rumour, sell the news” effect. If this is indeed what we are seeing, then big investors had been selling, or even short-selling, stocks for a length of time leading up to the actual election, to cover themselves against a potential Trump victory. More importantly, when that potential Trump victory became reality on Wednesday morning, most of the associated negative adjustment had already been gradually incorporated in stock prices.
There was, admittedly, an almost instantaneous drop in stock markets when the results were announced, but this could reflect a somewhat more impulsive reaction. The subsequent rally in international stock markets suggests that, once a few hours had passed and investors had a bit of time to absorb the news, they realized that they had overestimated the potentially negative effect that a Trump presidency could have on the global economy.
What happens next?
It is always easier to try and explain short-term effects in stock markets. It is quite a different thing to understand and predict what the long-term consequences will be of electing Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States. A relatively safe bet is that the current “Trump honeymoon” will not last for long. It is true that he has proposed some policies that could boost US growth, such as lowering the corporate tax rate, providing a fiscal stimulus etc. However, the bulk of his policy proposals (such as trade barriers, less globalization, tolerance for higher inflation etc.) are likely to have a negative impact on US growth in the longer-term. More importantly, if his campaign is anything to go by, president Trump is very likely to widen internal divisions in the American society further and make the system of government even more toxic than it currently is. That would be a blow with severe economic consequences for years to come, not only for the US but for the global economy.
Having received my PhD in Finance from Lancaster University I am currently a Lecturer in Finance at Kent Business School (KBS). Prior to joining KBS I taught and conducted research at Lancaster University and ALBA Graduate Business School.
The research I conduct falls under the area of Financial Econometrics, and in particular: financial econometrics, option-implied distributions, option returns, forecasting.

The results of the 2016 Citizen Satisfaction Survey conducted by Peachtree City are in. Results talled opinions by residents on issues such as satisfaction with city services, the feeling of safety, services and amenities for older residents, top quality of life components and how residents receive news about services, activities and events.
A total of 962 people responded to the survey that ran from March 7-21 and was advertised on multiple venues.
A sampling of citizens’ satisfaction with city services showed 10 percent were very satisfied with path paving and maintenance while 40 percent were somewhat satisfied and 26 percent were somewhat dissatisfied. Not everyone taking the survey responded to each question.
The survey showed that 89 percent of respondents were either satisfied or very satisfied with the police department, 91 percent were satisfied or very satisfied with the fire department, 83 percent were satisfied or very satisfied with the library and 64 percent were satisfied or very satisfied with code enforcement.
On the question of feeling safe in the city, 97 percent said they felt very safe or somewhat safe from crime in their home or neighborhood, 93 percent felt they were very safe or somewhat safe from crime in shopping areas, 88 percent felt very safe or somewhat safe from crime on paths and 72 percent felt very safe or somewhat safe from accidents on paths.
On the question of services, amenities and features needed for older residents, the largest percentage of respondents, totaling 53.6 percent, said leisure activities were most needed. Transportation needs were cited by 35.9 percent of respondents while volunteer opportunities were cited by 33.9 percent of people responding.
Another topic looked at the top components for “quality of life,” with respondents asked to identify the top four of 13 categories. Receiving the highest mark was low crime at 87.5 percent, followed by the path system at 63.4 percent, schools at 58.8 percent, low traffic at 53.6 percent and natural beauty at 40.5 percent.
Asked how they received information on city services, activities, events and local issues, 63 percent said they frequently got the information from the Peachtree City Updates reports issued by the city. Fifty percent of respondents frequently received that information from local print newspapers, 25 percent said the information came from frequent use of local news websites and 43 percent said they frequently received the information by way of social media. Virtually none of respondents frequently received information by attending meetings or watching online.
The section had eight categories for response. It was obvious from the responses that many taking the survey received city information from multiple sources
In terms of respondents to the survey, Peachtree City has approximately 25,000 residents ages 18 and older. Of those, 962 took the survey, which also included a small number of people from other communities who frequent Peachtree City.
A more detailed look at the survey will be available in the April 13 edition of The Citizen.
The survey and those taken in 2011 and 2013 can be viewed on the city’s website at http://peachtree-city.org/index.aspx?nid=1112

- Danau Tamblingan, Jalan Wisata Alam Danau Tamblingan, Munduk, Buleleng Regency, Bali, Indonesia
Want to go on vacation to Bali while enjoying a cool atmosphere?. No problem, you can go to Buleleng. Here, there are many choices of tourist attractions that are still natural and beautiful. Plus, you can enjoy the lake from a height in this place. You only need to plan a full day to enjoy Lake Tamblingan.
Lake Tamblingan is located in a highland area surrounded by green hills. The location is right next to Lake Buyan. Tamblingan Lake is also known as a twin lake by local people. Because, if you see it from a high place, this lake looks like one puddle that split into two.
This lake is divided by a forest that you can also explore. If you want, you can also spend the night and set up a tent in this forest. However, be sure to bring your own equipment. There is no tent rental service around because this place is still rarely visited by tourists.
To be able to enjoy Lake Tamblingan, you must walk to northern Bali. It is located a bit far from the city center, so only a few tourists are seen. But even so, this place is already famous. So you don't need to worry about finding a place to eat, because there are many local restaurants around here.
So, while enjoying the beauty of the lake, you can also eat snacks that you buy on the roadside. If you like fishing, try your luck on Lake Tamblingan. Maybe, you can get big fish. Many local residents are fishing there. In fact, some residents intentionally set up a fish chart in the middle of the lake. Or you can also try to drive around the lake using a traditional boat called jukung, which is rented by residents.
Thanks to the abundant production of oxygen and cold temperatures, your body will always feel fresh. But don't forget to wear warm clothes. Because it is in the highlands, there is often local rain in this area. So when you go around the lake in sunny weather, the sky may suddenly turn cloudy and rainy. It's safer to bring raincoats and umbrellas.
Lake Tamblingan is located on a hill around 1,000 masl. This lake has an area of 1.9 km with a width of about 1.1 km. Meanwhile, the maximum depth is 90 m with a water volume of 0.027 km3. You can imagine, how big Lake Tamblingan is. If you are interested in coming here, it is located in Sukasada Subdistrict, 21 Km south of Singaraja city.
You should book accommodation around the lake, so you can feel the cool air of Bali. In addition, you can rent a vehicle to make your vacation easier, because there is no public transportation around here. Or if you go with friends or family, you can also rent a travel tour offered by the surrounding community. So be prepared to experience a quiet holiday on Lake Tamblingan!.

Never evaluate someone based on their profile alone. Similar goes for online dating sites. Be comfortable and assertive and keep your “wow” factor in head. Be honest on your own. Don’t let an image or profile make you seem desperate! It could actually be tiring and annoying in case the other person does not see that.
Regularly be wary of falsify profiles and scammers. Although online dating is a fantastic way to find a fresh love, you must be cautious about the safety. Be sure you meet up within a public place, and apply your best opinion. Never offer your home business address or perhaps personal information to a stranger on the web. It’s always far better to meet someone in person, to enable you to be sure they’re who it is said they are.
When ever online dating, you fill out a profile with your particulars. Unlike off-line dating, you don’t know exactly who you’ll be discussing to next. Do not give out any personal information in dating sites and take extra precautions even though meeting someone. You under no circumstances know when you might fulfill someone you didn’t know existed. Narrow models look great online dating strategies are so significant. You’ll never know who is laying to you. No longer share your own card details with someone you meet internet.
Be sure to take your personal transportation. Hardly ever rely on your time frame for transportation. If you meet an individual at the shopping center or playground, don’t risk getting into an unfamiliar vehicle. A similar goes for eating places and pubs. Even if to start a date offers travelling, don’t be enticed to accept. You should avoid interacting with someone at home, apartment, or perhaps workplace — even if they will offer that. While you might be pleased with someone you met on the web, avoiding a crowded and isolated position may be high-risk.
Always remember that putting your self to choose from is a risk. You can get turned down on a initially date, however you should take this as a learning experience. You afraid of staying rejected; every ‘bad date’ has their good and bad factors. Don’t make the mistake of considering, “What any time…? ‘ Associated with first impression add up and handle the rest. Do not forget that you’re simply responsible for your own activities.
Be honest about the intentions. When ever dating online, avoid hide anything about yourself. Planning to hide a reason only will lead to discouragement and mounting misunderstandings. Several charging a bad idea for making yourself too open and vulnerable, mainly because it will make this more difficult to get past any mistrust. Be sure you be polite, honest, and professional in your initial communications. And don’t post any disturbing pictures in your profile.

It is said time and tide waits for none. But in today’s digital age, it’s time, tide and money that waits for none. Making the right sort of investments has become extremely crucial in such a capacity. To fetch the right kind of portfolio to park funds, a study is required. For something fairly as new as the cryptocurrencies, the odds are not quite in one’s favor.
To understand the world of cryptocurrencies what is actually a necessity is to be aware of what are the terms. How suitable is it for you? The cryptocurrency is not very famous among the trusted investments around the world. The Iceland bitcoin heist proves the lack of security and risk that investing in bitcoins comes with. Iceland’s loot of 600 powerful computers that dealt with cryptocurrencies is considered one of the most mammoth thefts in the state. Iceland emerged well with digital currencies due to the flourishing geothermal powers. This made Iceland quite susceptible to frauds and thefts. When something this large scale happens and the values of cryptocurrency is seen to fall starkly. It raises serious concerns about whether or not it is considered to invest in cryptocurrencies any further.
Fraud like this can be a big scare. Few things hence stand to be considered before investing in the cryptocurrency market-
- Invest amount that can be affordable to lose
The only money that is spare and extra and does not pinch to be lost should be invested. Huge amounts with the aim of returns is a big no. The market is extremely volatile and is subjected to huge risks. Thefts like that of Iceland can be fatal for investors. There is no scope of any recovery.
- Study well
Before going onto making any investment. A complete understanding of the market should be gained. The best way to do this is by not getting influenced first hand by people and doing your own research. Your financial capabilities must align with the sort of investment that you plan to opt for.
- Diversify wealth
Not all the money should be vested under one type of investment. Some may be allotted to other areas like real estate, shares, mutual funds, deposits, etc. It is better to lose a quarter of wealth than everything at all. This step is extremely vital as many people commit the mistake of storing all the disposables in one place.
These three simple steps would help you be safe and secured to fight with unpleasant scenarios like that of the Bitcoin heist.

Exterior walls exposed to precipitation shall be protected against precipitation ingress by an exterior wall assembly consisting of a first plane of protection and a second plane of protection. The first plane of protection acts to shed the majority of water from entering the wall, and the second plane of protection, also known as the water resistive barrier or sheathing membrane keeps materials further within the wall dry.
In high moisture index regions, like coastal areas, the first and second plane of protection must be separated by a 10 mm or 3/8’s inch capillary break. The capillary break can be omitted where the wall is protected from precipitation such as below large overhangs or verandas. The capillary break can also be omitted where the wall is of sufficient thickness to minimize the transfer of moisture to the interior. These are typically concrete walls referred to as mass walls.

mathematicians have longed for a method to prove that pi is a never-ending, random sequence of numbers. the constant has been calculated to 500 billion decimal places and no pattern has been found. if mathematicians are right, no pattern will ever be found, and proving this would be a breakthrough in our understanding of numbers. proving pi to be random, though, proves very difficult.
pi–3.14159…, the relationship of the radius of a circle to its circumference–has marveled civilization for thousands of years. some ancient greeks even developed a religion around the mystery of pi. pi is a “normal” number, referring to the fact that none of the numbers in pi repeat in a special way. the string “123” will appear in pi as many times as “321.” there are no patterns, as there are in the decimal conversion of 1/7 1.428571428571428571…).
the fact that pi is a normal number reinforces the theory of chaotic dynamics and its explanation of pi. chaotic dynamics has resulted in “hypothesis a” as an explanation of pi. hypothesis a states: “sequences of numbers of a particular kind dance between two other numbers.” the trouble is, pi has never been proven normal, because to prove it normal you must be able to examine the whole number. pi is believed to be a never-ending string, so it cannot be seen in whole.
david bailey and canadian mathematicians peter borewin and simon plouffe made a discovery about 6 years ago, though, that supports hypothesis a. their program, called bbp, could calculate a single digit of pi without calculating the rest. in other words, you could ask the program to calculate the 15th decimal place of pi, and without calculating the first 14 it would give you a correct answer. this was thought to be impossible.
when hypothesis a supporters found out about bbp, they realized that the ability to calculate a single digit without calculating those around it is a mathematical description of hypothesis a. bailey explains, “at the very least we have shown that the digits of pi appear to be random: because they are described by chaos theory.”
the understanding of truly random numbers has countless implications on mathematics and science in general. one major practical application would be truly randomly generated passwords to strengthen security in computing.

okay, i'm not the brightest guy on the block, but i usually get this sort of thing after i've beaten my head against a table long enough. the statement about numbers dancing between numbers, though, is beginning to burn a hole in my skull. i suppose it means that you could see pi as a sequence of numbers within a sequence of numbers. in simplified terms, i am guessing that that means you could pick every fourth number (there is probably a formula in itself for which numbers to pick, not an arbitrary counting number) and a pattern would emerge.
what blows my mind is that these three canadian guys figured out how to do this with computer software when the theory didn't even exist yet. before there was even a formula for this hypothesis they were writing software that could calculate these numbers.
mathematicians scare me. they fascinate me, but i would never want to be alone in an elevator with one. are any of you geek.com'ers mathematicians? if so, can you help explain this stuff?
if you haven't already seen it and you like this sort of story, you should definitely rent or buy pi, directed and written by darren aronofsky.

|the problem with pi… (12:30pm est wed jul 24 2002)
is that there isn't a correct base-number format for it. we are all using 10-base numbers as a standard today, when it should be 9-base numbers without zeroes. the inclusion of zeroes into numbers just makes it more 'chaotic'. the ancient lore of 9's came from the divine beginning. an arab introduced the concept of zeroes a little less than a thousand years ago, in an effort to provide a better numeric system than roman numerals. until then, everything, including the most powerful computers, are being hindered by the 'not-yet-perfect' numeral system. i personally believe that we'll gather back all the pieces of knowledge right before the divine ending. – by darmel pow

frood, i partially agree. corporate executives are much scarier. i would go farter to say that they are inherently lazy, greedy, ignorant, and evil. i would rather be in an elevator with a serial killer than most of my bosses.
mathematicians? they are pretty messed up. i like to think of them as the strippers of the genius world. anyone who has ever met a stripper knows that she is screwed up beyond belief and often self-destructive. mathematicians are insanely intelligent, yet throw away good careers in business and technology to study numbers in universities. ok, i am kidding. i really respect math geniuses, but i don't understand them. i guess i owe them a lot of thanks for all the recent advances in encryption and compression in the last 5 years.
btw, pi is my favorite movie ever. i signed up for a whole bunch of math classes after seeing it and even changed my major to mathematical computer science. ok, it wasn't because of pi, it was actually because i found out i sucked as a chemist, but pi is still a good movie!

|sorry, couldn't resist… (12:53pm est wed jul 24 2002)
“pi–3.14159…, the relationship of the radius of a circle to its circumference” – actually, it is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter.
“pi is believed to be a never-ending string, so it cannot be seen in whole” – the story is deeper than this. the number 1/3 is a never ending string, but it is a rational number (it can be represented as a fraction where the denominator and the numerator are integers). pi is an irrational number (it cannot be represented as a fraction of two integers).
“the understanding of truly random numbers has countless implications” – yes, but it remains impossible to write an algorithm to generate random numbers. any algorithm they wrote has reproducible effects, meaning it is non-random (although, certainly seemingly random).
still an interesting read. i would definitely like to see a copy of this program that they wrote (i'm skeptical until i see it work). – by barm

|correcting myself already… (1:08pm est wed jul 24 2002)
pi is more than an irrational number. it is a transcendental number.
“pi is believed to be a never-ending string” – this part has been proven. it is part of being an irrational number. it is the random part that is in question.
“at the very least we have shown that the digits of pi appear to be random: because they are described by chaos theory.” – exactly false, actually. if you can describe the digits of pi with chaos theory, then you have an algorithm for doing so, and hence it is not random.

|ok now a serious question for math majors (2:11pm est wed jul 24 2002)

is it possible that we're using the wrong number set to try to compute pi? could the questions concerning pi be more easily answered using a different number system?

|accuracy (2:12pm est wed jul 24 2002)
how can one assure that the number for pi is accurate?
i suppose you could use a computer to calculate it but, wait a minute, a computer uses a fixed value which is estimated!

|rar (2:45pm est wed jul 24 2002)
man, that's a good point. first time i felt my brain work today. i seem to remember something from mathematics that your answer can only be as accurate as your data. so the measurements of a circle would have to be accurate to an infinate number of decimal places. also, even if one of the measurements was exactly a whole number (which i'm pretty sure is impossible) the other measurement would have to end up being a number like pi, therefore it would have to be accurate to however many decimal places you wanted to calculate pi. i'm gonna stop there before blood shoots out of my ears. – by macmurphy
|solution of pi (3:03pm est wed jul 24 2002)
rar, we used calculus to get pi in my finite elements class. if you look at a circle as a series of wedges it's area will be (360/theta)*(r^2)*(tan(theta/2)), where theta is the angle of the wedge and r is the radius of the circle. since we know the area of a circle is pi*r^2 we can use this to solve for pi. to get the exact solution you have to integrate. – by el barto

|re: darmel pow (3:41pm est wed jul 24 2002)
funny, base 10 seems to work fine w/eveything else. even if you switch the base of the number (say binary) you are still going to get the same value, just in a different form. (“1011” in binary is still “11” in decimal and is still “b” in hexidecimal, just in different form) you can switch it from base 10 to base 9 and you are still going to get the same value. so pi is still unsolved

|egging me on (4:41pm est wed jul 24 2002)
an integer, under any base, translated to another base, will remain an integer. which is to say, no, if you change the base, pi will still be an irrational number. generally, when proving things, mathematicians make remarkably few assumptions, and using base 10 is not one of them. these theories hold in any base. this is actually a fundamental basis for computer science, where our understanding of base 10 math is logically equivalent to any base 2 (or base 16) math. however, this does not mean that there may not be another paradigm that would allow a more precise calculation of pi.
and ts, “less numbers (or more numbers/symbols)”? pi can be represented as an infinite string of numbers. in any base. in fact, the order of infinity of the length of the number is identical, in any base. i'm really hoping that when you switch to another base, you are not really getting more or fewer symbols than the order of infinity of the integers? – by barm

|base 9 (4:59pm est wed jul 24 2002)
my number theory is fairly rudimentary.
however, my college roommate explained that there are certain theorems which apply across all bases.
for example if base = b, then any number divided by (b-1) will produce a repeating bimal, so in base 9, dividing by 8 creates repeating nonimals.
base 9 is no more or less “perfect” than base 10 or 16.

|i am a mathematician geek (6:17pm est wed jul 24 2002)
barm has the most right answers in this string. not only is pi irrational (i.e. it cannot be expressed as p/q, where p and q are integers) but it is in fact transcendental, which means that not only isn't it a solution to the equation qx-p = 0 (where p,q are integers) — which is equivalent to being rational — but in fact it is not expressible as the solution to any polynomial with integer coefficients, no matter how large the degree of the polynomial. lindemann first proved this, and the proof should be in just about any 1st year graduate text in algebra. – by bonehead
|rar, you are way, way off (6:24pm est wed jul 24 2002)
one doesn't need to make any measurements whatsoever to calculate pi. the whole discipline of 'analysis' — a branch of mathematics just like algebra, geometry and logic are — is deeply involved in error analysis. you can prove (mathematically) that, for example, the error in a certain polynomial expansion of the arctan function is less than some small amount, depending on the interval and the number of terms. so you can prove that the value given by the approximation of 4*arctan(1) is equal to pi plus or minus a known error. if that error is less than 10**-100, then you have pi to at least 100 digits (base 10, of course).
you never need to make measurements to obtain a value of pi, and if you were to try you would never obtain a value beyond, say, six digits. – by bonehead

interesting. i reckon that true randomness does exist.
need to concentrate on definition of randomness. to me, it is dependant on their being “a perceiver”.
our universe has outcomes that cannot be followed exactly by “perceivers” to be understood by cause and effect. outcomes, therefore, appear to be random.
there are even outcomes that cannot be followed exactly by any perceiver to be understood by cause and effect.

yeah, that is correct.
there is no such thing as a perfectly straight line either.
there has been some discussion on that by someone somewhere, who could explain it much better than me,
but goes something like that the physical manifestations of geometric ideals are necessarily imperfect, because …..
….. because of the “quantumized” nature of the universe.
so i guess that leads to the following discussion (thanks again prosoothus for interesting submits):

.333… is an “aproximation” of 1/3 that has a negligent error: namely, an infintely small one. .999 is also an “aproximation” of 1 that has an infintely small error.
an infintely small difference between two numbers can always be ignored, because it can never be quantified. thus, even in a quantified universe, .999… does equal 1.
infinity is only a concept. .333… does not exist, but is based on the concept of infinity. .999… does not exist either. .999… is just as good an aproximation of 1 as .333…is of 1/3. both are accurate to the infinith decimal place, which is pretty darn accurate.

|cantor's set theory (9:59am est thu jul 25 2002)
this is what i do not understand. assuming the digits in pi are actually infinite, would this work? create a set containing all the decimal places of pi. the size of this set would be a transfinite number, probably aleph null. realizing that the decimal is nonterminating, wouldnt the second aleph decimal places be identical to the first? thus, without defining the first aleph number of decimal places, you can still prove that it repeats through the decimal places from aleph null + 1 to aleph sub one. or am i begging the question somewhere? – by sdb
|ds's infinite base (10:04am est thu jul 25 2002)

there's this little property of our math system known as the reflexive, defined for multiplication and division for all numbers other than zero within the field.
therefore, 1/3 = 0.333… and 3*1/3 = 3*0.333… or 1 = 0.999…

|base 9… (4:18pm est thu jul 25 2002)
when calculated in base 9, there will be more digits–however, you may notice a pattern. nearly all the numbers will be changed (i do not have the time to convert the endless pi into 9-base), therefore it could be possible to see a pattern. when using 10-base numbers, many infinite decimals such as .333~, etc.. appear.
ever notice that all factors of 9 add up to a factor of 9? this makes 9 an unique number. (i.e. 18 — 1+8 = 9, 27 — 2+7 = 9, 99 — 9+9 = 18, and so on!) there are so many more unique qualities of 9 that i don't have time to list them all.
we were absolutely foolish ever to include the concept of nothingness (zero) back into numbers like 10, 20, 100, etc. with 9, there is a balance of numbers–5 is the median. the median of 10 is 5.5. come on, guys! just because you have 10 fingers, does that mean you all have to keep on finger-counting?
i just rented that movie pi last night. even that movie talks about kaballah itself! the secret of kaballah is the mystery of 9, or the divine name of god, which comes in 216 alephnumerical digits. (2+1+6 = 9) the greatest mathematicians like newton and einstein knew that there was an absolute truth in the relationship of math and power of the word. they died trying to discover the code in the bible. we are slowly obtaining the resources to finally decipher the power of the word! – by darmel pow

|? about pi (5:31pm est thu jul 25 2002)
many argue that nothing can be actually infinite, because we are limited to the number of atoms in the universe. the number line is not infinite because any number greater than the total number of atoms in the universe is not real. i find this to be bullshit, and i'm not sure nowadays how big the following is along these lines, though it was also used as a coutnerargument for attempting to create a block machine to pass the turing test. anyways, would such an argument hold base here? in other words, the extrapolation of the decimal places of pi can only go so far. this is because space is finitely small (this can be easily proven), and further extrapolation would never amount to a change in the application of pi (e.g. using anything after the 10 trillionth digit for pi will nave change the actual circumference of the circle because space does not exist smaller than that). – by sdb
|the proof (5:36pm est thu jul 25 2002)
if anyone cares about proving that space is not infinitely small, imagine being in a room, 10 feet away from the door. if you walk half the distance to the door in each step, you will never arrive at the door (5 ft, then 2.5 ft, then 1.25 ft….).
archimedes decided to race a turtle one day. he gave the turtle a head start. once archimedes began the race, he would catch up to the spot the turtle was when he began running in time t1. in that time the turtle will have moved farther by a distance od d1. once archimedes runs to d1, he has taken time t2 to get there. the turtle has moved foward d2. ultimately, archimedes can never pass the turtle. – by sdb

666 appears to be what the world will be arriving at during the “end”. it is when the population has evolved into the highest mental power, physically, mentally, and spiritually. this is true as we are all discovering and attributing mathematical knowledge of the system of material (physical knowledge), mind (psychology), and spirit (religion-philosophy).

upon review of the materials at the mathacademy link, i have to reiterate what i said at the start — my grasp of number theory is rudimentary.
first, i forgot that cardinals are discrete and that they reflect the size of a set, regardless of order. i should have remembered because i knew ordinals were discrete and respected position.
now i'm wracking my brain for the technical term for a real number.
second, kurt godel stated in part one that any formal math system complex enough to contain peano arithmetic also contained theorems which could not be proven true nor false within that math system.
this, by the way, was godel's attempt to address the problem of sets which contain themselves which also grew out of cantorian transinfinites implications.

|yes makes sense. (1:29pm est sun jul 28 2002)
i understand that since we cannot perceive, or at least count to infinity, we will never be able to explain everything (which means infinity). pi supposedly comes in infinite decimal places, so we'll never be able to explain the infinitely perfect circle that is everlasting. i.e., if we launch a satellite on a perfectly circular orbit around a perfectly spherical planet with perfectly distributed gravitational pull, the satellite will orbit at the same altitude forever and ever without ever descending or ascending an inch.
kabalarianism states cardinality in all numbers, that is, there is a quality to all numbers regardless of quantity. the problem with the society is that nowadays, we all focus on the quantity and not the quality. in order to fully understand the cause of the natural law, or law of physics, mathematics, mind, being, universe, and so on, we must understand not just quantity, but also quality. as everything comes in a natural order, or cardinality, thus quality occurs in that order.
jj brannon, until we fully understand the quality, the ordinals will always be discrete. there are some things that quantity alone cannot solve. since our minds are so tuned to perceiving quantity by mathematics, we can only determine the cause and effect quantitatively. there, we are unable to determine the actual origin (cause) of innumerable diseases, illnesses, and further sources. we waste time seeking a cure for such and such effect when we should instead be seeking how to prevent the cause of all problems. – by darmel pow
