6. What do you think is the biggest problem facing the world today? I would say greed and ignorance is the biggest problem facing the world today. It is an aspect of human nature and seemingly intractable. I don’t expect the mass of humanity to undergo spiritual transformation to amend these aspects. However I do think that in order for problems to be solved such as objective conditions e.g. war and poverty‚ there has to be a change in social ethos- that of which is generally considered desirable

Think Before You Act Everyday someone loses a person dear to them. You never know if it will be your last day here in this world. We all just live day to day and don’t realize tomorrow could be our last. It’s even worse when it could have been prevented. Choices we make can impact our lives and individuals around us.

Duality in Linear Programming 4 In the preceding chapter on sensitivity analysis‚ we saw that the shadow-price interpretation of the optimal simplex multipliers is a very useful concept. First‚ these shadow prices give us directly the marginal worth of an additional unit of any of the resources. Second‚ when an activity is ‘‘priced out’’ using these shadow prices‚ the opportunity cost of allocating resources to that activity relative to other activities is determined.

In order to prove negligence‚ T & J must be guilty of five elements: duty of due care‚ breach‚ factual cause‚ proximate cause‚ and damages.
