1. Many lottery winners suddenly find themselves with much more money than they are used to after winning large jackpots, sometimes in the hundreds of millions. However, financial experts warn that two out of three winners end up spending all their winnings within five years and may have more problems than before winning. 2. Lottery organizers employ counselors to help new winners manage their wealth wisely through financial advice and planning. However, some winners do not use their money sensibly and get into difficulties. 3. Michael Carroll from England is an example of what can happen when winners do not manage their money carefully. He spent all £10 million of his lottery winnings within eight years on an extravagant lifestyle

The nature of the revolutionary war debt
During the Revolutionary War, the colonial and state governments accrued huge debts totaling over $100 million. The original plan to pay this off was for the US government to print $200 million in paper currency, use it to pay debts, and tax it back. However, states printed their own currency instead, causing massive inflation. The Continental dollar's value dropped significantly, leaving people with worthless money. This loss of control over the economy was one of the major issues the new federal government under the Constitution would seek to address.
DOR, Fiscal and Revenue Options (6.6.2015)
The Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Revenue presented options for balancing the state's budget deficit, which currently stands at $3 billion annually. He debunked myths that cuts alone can balance the budget and that higher oil prices will solve the problem. A combination of continued budget restraint, taxes affecting Alaskans, changes to oil and gas taxes, and strategic use of legacy assets like the Permanent Fund may be needed. No easy answers exist to close a $3 billion gap.

The document discusses the collapse of fiat currencies and government debt over time. It notes that $1,000 invested in gold in 1911 could buy 50 ounces, but by 2011 it could only buy 0.5 ounces, showing the destruction of paper currencies. It argues we are facing a loss-loss scenario of deflation or inflation/austerity or money printing that will lead to currency debasement. The only way to preserve wealth is through physical gold stored outside the banking system to protect from a coming hyperinflation and total collapse of currency systems and financial markets.
Owning Real Estate is Critical to your Financial Success
Owning a home provides financial benefits compared to renting. Home values generally increase with inflation, making the cost of a mortgage decrease over time. Real estate also diversifies an investment portfolio and provides stable income in retirement through rental properties. While homeownership has costs, the long-term economic advantages make it worthwhile to save for a down payment and become a homeowner.

Astute investor magazine spring 2016
This document summarizes 10 common and costly pension mistakes that many British people make. These mistakes include not saving enough for retirement, delaying saving which reduces the power of compound returns, failing to regularly check pension pots and investments, ignoring fees which can significantly reduce the overall value of a pension, relying too heavily on inheritances to fund retirement, not taking advantage of employer pension contributions, opting out of company pension schemes which forfeits employer matching contributions, assuming the state pension will be sufficient, not using pensions to save tax through tax relief on contributions, and accessing pensions early which incurs penalties. The document stresses that pension mistakes can be very expensive due to the long time horizon over retirement savings have to grow. It provides examples to

Roulette (524)
Lottery is a form of gambling that involves randomly selecting numbers or objects to award prizes. It provides significant revenue and taxes for many countries, which is why most countries allow and regulate lotteries. There are various types of lottery games played around the world, with the most common being lotto games where players pick 6 numbers for a chance to win prizes. Players must follow rules like being of legal age to purchase tickets, using legally authorized tickets, and claiming prizes within the validity period. While lottery involves an element of chance, it has changed many people's lives by enabling them to win large sums of money.

The document discusses various topics related to personal finance including:
- Most parents are uncomfortable talking to children about money, so children inherit poor financial habits.
- Many Americans feel confident in retirement planning but have not actually begun saving or do not know how much they have saved.
- The concept of compound interest is explained, showing how small amounts can grow significantly over time through compounding.
- Characteristics of millionaires are discussed such as most being college graduates and working regular jobs rather than receiving inheritances.
- The importance of starting to save early even with modest amounts is emphasized.
Plagiarism and the internet P2
The document discusses plagiarism and provides tips for managing sources to avoid plagiarism. It notes that plagiarism is dishonest and misses an opportunity for students to add their own commentary and grow as thinkers. When working on complex research assignments, keeping sources organized can be challenging. The document then provides tips for managing sources, which include copying important information, printing key articles, using source management software, inserting citations into drafts using comment features, and double-checking work to match quotes to their correct sources.
Plagiarism and the internet
Plagiarism involves using others' ideas without giving them proper credit. It is considered stealing another's work and is illegal under copyright laws. Plagiarism has become easier on the Internet as information is readily available, but educators can also more easily detect plagiarism through online searches. Both intentional and accidental plagiarism through copying from sources without citation are violations, even if unintended, as ideas become mixed with a student's own work.
The Changing Family Part2
Advocates argue that only children have advantages like avoiding sibling jealousy and receiving more parental attention, which can increase their self-esteem and confidence. However, only children may feel lonely. Parents can help prevent loneliness by encouraging their only child to be social and welcoming challenges. Ultimately, there is no simple answer to whether families should have one or two children - each family's circumstances are unique and what is best will depend on what the parents feel confident about.
Modern Family Magazine
Dr. Ethan Stephens addresses a parent's concern about whether being an only child means a child will be lonely. While some argue only children may lack social skills from not having siblings, Dr. Stephens notes there is no evidence only children are lonelier or less capable than children with siblings. In fact, having just one child is an increasingly common choice globally, as seen in Asian countries where families often have fewer than two children on average.

Human Adaptation to Space Part 2
Human beings can experience both short-term and long-lasting physical problems when living in space for extended periods of time. More than two-thirds of astronauts suffer from motion sickness during travel due to the lack of gravity causing confusing signals to be sent to the brain. Prolonged time in space's zero-gravity environment can also result in fluid redistribution around the body, leading to symptoms like facial puffiness and bulging neck veins.
Human Adaptation to Space
Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space in 1961, and American astronaut Neil Armstrong was the first to walk on the Moon in 1969. The document discusses how humans have achieved traveling to space and the Moon, and some believe the next step is for humans to visit Mars. Many astronauts would welcome the opportunity to be the first person to walk on Mars and gain such fame, but the document raises the question of what the experience of space travel is really like for those who embark on these missions.
The “Lost World” of South America
The document discusses the remote "tepuis" mountain formations located in South America. Tepuis rise thousands of meters above the jungles of Guyana, Brazil, and Venezuela. They have flat tops and steep sides composed of sandstone. Due to their isolation, the tepuis are among the last unexplored places on Earth and may still contain life forms dating back to the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana over 300 million years ago. While a few researchers have visited them, the tepuis remain largely unexplored and are like a place where time has stopped.

The author attended the Yanshuei Firework Festival in Taiwan. Before the fireworks started, a group worshipped a statue of Guan Yu and then removed it. The crowd was then instructed to hop up and down when the fireworks began to avoid being burned. When the first "beehive" was lit, rockets exploded in all directions and collided with the author's helmet and body. Although it was over quickly, the constant buzzing of fireworks in the sky made it feel longer. After the intense display, they had small burns and cuts from being hit but felt it was a great adventure.

Michael Liu attended the Yanshuei Fireworks Festival in Taiwan with his friend Lin. Lin provided Michael with protective clothing like an old sweatshirt, gloves, and motorcycle helmet, without explaining why, since Michael had assumed they would be watching fireworks from a distance. When they arrived, Michael realized the "beehive" structures were boxes filled with fireworks directed outward in all directions. Lin explained people often received burns at the festival from the fireworks, as some participants wore little protection and stuffed the beehives directly with explosives for the celebration.

The document discusses two examples of animal species that were brought back from near extinction due to conservation efforts following the passage of the Endangered Species Act in 1973. It describes how the bald eagle population dropped to less than 1,000 in 1963 due to hunting, habitat destruction, and the chemical DDT, but rebounded after DDT was banned and bald eagles were protected. It also explains that grizzly bear numbers declined from over 50,000 to around 1,000 today, but grizzly bears in Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks are protected under the ESA.

The document discusses two animal success stories resulting from the Endangered Species Act of 1973. It describes how the bald eagle population dropped to under 1,000 by 1963 due to hunting, habitat destruction, and the chemical DDT weakening eggshells. Protection efforts like banning DDT and listing bald eagles as endangered allowed the population to recover, with numbers now off the endangered list. A second success story is also described but not in detail.

The globalization of fashion
Globalization has led to fast fashion where designs can go from concept to stores in just two weeks, encouraging frequent changing of wardrobes. However, this speed and low prices can come at human costs, as many factories exploit workers in developing countries through low wages as low as $0.23 per hour and long work days up to 18 hours. While companies argue they cannot monitor all factories and create jobs, investigations have revealed poor conditions, and consumers share responsibility by demanding low prices. In response to campaigns against unfair practices, some companies now conduct inspections to improve factory conditions.
Week 2-text update
1) Monsoon season is important for India's agriculture as the abundant rains help crops grow and support hundreds of millions of jobs, but it negatively impacts tourism with visitor numbers dropping by half.
2) However, some Indian states are marketing "monsoon packages" to attract visitors during this time by highlighting the lush green landscapes and festivals that occur during monsoon season.
3) India has a long history of appreciating the monsoons, with palaces built specifically to enjoy the rains, some of which now operate as luxury resorts catering to monsoon visitors with special facilities like outdoor pools and discos.
Selling india’s rainy season
The monsoon season is traditionally greeted with joy in India as the abundant rains provide vital agriculture and hundreds of millions of jobs. However, tourism declines by half during this time as few travelers want a rainy holiday. In recent years, some states like Goa and Kerala have begun promoting "monsoon packages" to attract visitors with lower prices and the opportunity to enjoy lush green landscapes and festivals. The monsoon also holds cultural and spiritual significance for Indians with a history of palaces built to appreciate the rains and traditions of cleansing and renewal associated with the season.

Lottery winners check
- 1. 1 Lottery Winners: Rich…but Happy? 5 10 15 Every week, million of dollars are spent and won on lottery tickets. With jackpots hitting hundreds of millions of dollars, many lottery winners suddenly find themselves with much more money than they’re used to. Many will have enough to purchase a new car, buy a luxury house, take a holiday and quit working- all within a short space of time. These “lucky” few, however, may end up with more problems than they had before they stuck it rich. According to financial planner Steven Goldbart, two out of three winners spend all their winnings within five years. Newly affluent lottery winners are actually in quite a tricky situation so much so that lottery organizers employ counselors to help them. These counselors encourage winners to get advice from financial experts, such as accountants, about how best to invest their earnings. The counselors also help winners to understand how their lives may change for the better- and possibly for the worse. Many lottery winners are sensible when managing their new wealth, some, however, do not use their money wisely and end up getting into various unforeseen difficulties. Take a look at the fortunes of one lottery winner.
- 2. 2 20 25 30 Michael Carroll is an example of what can happen to lottery winners if they don’t manage their money carefully. When carroll was 19 years old, he won £10 million in England in England’s National Lottery. At the time, Carroll was working as a garbage collector, and the money changed his life. Three months after winning the lottery, he bought a home in a small town and turned the backyard into 24- hour racetrack. The constant noise and dust upset hid neighbors. He also purchased several luxury vehicles but was stopped for driving a brand new BMW without license plates or insurance. He was banned from driving for six months. This wasn’t Carroll’s first encounter with the law- he was frequently arrested for drug possession and other crimes, and was jailed for nine months in 2006 for violent behavior. Upon his release from prison, Carroll applied for loans to make the payments on properties he had bought and to continue funding for his extravagant lifestyle. In just eight years, Carroll had spent all his winnings. It was reported in 2010 that he was trying to get his old job as a garbage collector back.
