HOW TO BET?

 

       Say, two teams, A and B is clashing in the finals of a cricket-international cup.  Betting is going on, of course illegally.  How to bet wisely and not to lose any money?  There is a way.

      Tom strongly thinks that 'A' is going to win.  You bet with Tom on the basis; If 'A' team wins, you will pay Tom 2 dollars. If 'B' wins, Tom will pay you 3 dollars.".  Tom will be happy and accept the bet.

      Bob thinks only 'B' team has winning chance.  Hence you bet with Bob on opposite terms.  That is, if 'B' wins, bob gets 2 dollars from you, otherwise you get 3 dollars from him.

      Whatever may be the outcome of the match, you will always win.  In the victory of A or B, you will get 3 dollars from Tom or Bob and you pay out 2 dollars to one of them.  Hence, you will gain one dollar whatever may be the result of the match.

      This is called "Hedging". It is used by the investment fund managers.  The fund is called "Hedge fund".

    A  Simplified explanation is given above.  Hedging is used in the equity market and involves complex investments.  It is done at high speed using computers.

      "Money should not be idle.  It should be invested wisely and made to work".

Your heart -you do not know

  Size and Location: The human heart is roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located slightly to the left of the center of the chest. Despite its relatively small size, the heart plays a crucial role in pumping blood throughout the entire body. Heartbeat Variability: The heart does not beat at a constant rate. The interval between heartbeats can vary, and this variability is considered a sign of a healthy heart. Factors such as breathing, emotions, and physical activity influence the heartbeat. Electrical Conduction: The heart's contractions are controlled by electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, often called the "natural pacemaker," generates electrical signals that regulate the heartbeat and coordinate the pumping of blood. Blood Pumping Capacity: On average, the human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons (or 7,570 liters) of blood each day. Over a lifetime, this amounts to pumping enough blood to fill several Olympic-sized swimming pools. Heart Chambers and V...

THE WORK HORSE "="

    One cannot think of  a mathematical step without 'is equal to ' .  It balances right hand side and left hand side.  It aids simplification and manipulation of a mathematical expression. example: 2(A+B)  = C 2A+2B  = C         2A = C-2B           A = C-2B/ 2   In an electronic calculator,  the pressing of ' = " sign executes an asthmatic expression  or simply calculates.       In computer languages, it plays very important role.                                                                 A = B   When a computer looks at this expression, the value stored in the location named B is just transferred to the storage named A .  After execution both A and B will have the same value an...

How does your smart phone detect motion, steps, rotation, and location?

 How it works-1  An accelerometer in a smartphone is a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that measures acceleration and tilt. It works by detecting changes in motion by measuring the vibration or acceleration of the device. The accelerometer consists of a small mass suspended on a spring inside a sealed chamber. When the device is subjected to acceleration, the mass moves relative to the device, causing a change in capacitance that can be measured and processed by the smartphone's hardware. The accelerometer measures acceleration in three dimensions (x, y, and z) and provides data that the smartphone's software can use to determine the device's orientation, detect motion, and track changes in velocity and acceleration. The accelerometer is used for a variety of purposes in a smartphone, including screen rotation, motion tracking for games and fitness apps, and detecting the position of the device for navigation and location services. Additionally, it can be used t...
