Interesting Quotes


Quotes Makes You Think!







This is the reason why mothers are more devoted to their children than fathers: it is that they suffer more in giving them birth and are more certain that they are their own.
Aristotle

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

Aristotle

The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.

Albert Einstein

I call upon the scientific community in our country, those who gave us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.

Richard Dawkins

But perhaps the rest of us could have separate classes in science appreciation, the wonder of science, scientific ways of thinking, and the history of scientific ideas, rather than laboratory experience.

Aldous Huxley

The ordinary scientific man is strictly a sentimentalist. He is a sentimentalist in this essential sense, that he is soaked and swept away by mere associations.

Marie Curie

Top 10 Richest Men in Africa


No. 9 Johann Rupert & Family (South Africa)
World Rank No.601 - Wealth $1.2 billion

It has been another bad year for the Rupert family. Once ranked No.3 on the list of richest in Africa, the family is in danger of slipping out of the list all together. The bulk of their wealth is tied into the Richemont Group, a major player in luxury goods and this is a sector that has been particularly hard hit by the global down turn. The summation of this is a fall in wealth of over $2.4 billion and a drop to No.9 in the African rich list.

________________________________________________

No. 9 Femi Otedola (Nigeria)
World Rank No.601 - Wealth $1.2 billon
Last year saw the debut of Aliko Dangote as the first entry from Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria in the Forbes Billionaire list. This year sees another entry, oil magnate Femi Odetola. Odetola is one of a cortège of moguls who prospered under the Nigeria last administration, others include Aliko Dangote, Jim Ovia (Zenith Bank), Michael Adenuga (Glo Telecoms) and Tony Elumelu (UBA Bank) . It would be no surprise if one of the latter three makes the list next year.


________________________________________________

No.8 Patrice Motsepe (South Africa)
World Rank No.559 - Wealth $1.3 billion
Patrice Motsepe was a new entrant this time last year his mining empire benefitting from record commodity prices to make him the first black South African to make the African rich list. A year on the fall in commodity prices particularly platinum has hit him hard with his personal wealth falling $1.1 billion. Despite the fall he was still able to claw his way up one spot to No.8 on the list.

________________________________________________

No. 7 Onsi Sawiris (Egypt)
World Rank No.430 - Wealth $1.7 billon
In 2008 the Sawiris family were easily the richest family in Africa with father Onil and sons Naguib, Nassef and Samih boasting a combined wealth of $35.7 billion. The global crisis has seen this wealth decimated. The patriarch of the Sawiris family, Onil saw his personal wealth plunge from $9.1 billion to $1.7 billion on the back of collapse in the value of the Sawiris’s construction group, telecommunication group and leisure interests.
________________________________________________

No. 6 Mo Ibrahim (Sudan)
World Rank 334 - Wealth $2 billion
We omitted Mo Ibrahim from our list last year, with $2 billion to his name we are not going to make the same mistake twice. Mo Ibrahim made his fortune building up the CelTel mobile phone empire and selling it on to Kuwaiti investors. In recent years he is most famous for his $5 million African leadership prize.





________________________________________________


No. 5 Aliko Dangote (Nigeria)
World Rank No.261 - Wealth $2.5 billion
The Nigerian Stock Exchange was a few years ago one of the world fastest growing exchanges but it has plummeted over the last few months and with it has gone a substantial proportion of Dangote’s wealth. Despite losing over $800 million he still moves up two places as others have suffered even more painful losses.





________________________________________________

No. 4 Naguib Sawiris (Egypt)
World Rank No.205 - Wealth $3.0 billion
Last year there were three Sawiris brothers in the list Naguib, Nassef and Samih. Move forward one year, mix in a global financial crisis and only two brother are left in the billionaires club with Samih ejected. Naguib who last year was richest man in Africa has lost an eye-watering $9.7 billion over the year as the value of his telecommunications empire, Orascom Telecom Holdings crashed by close to 90% and he now finds himself nestled in fourth place on the list.

________________________________________________

No. 3 Nassef Sawiris (Egypt)
World Rank 196 - Wealth $3.1 billion
Nassef may have only dropped one position in the list but losing that one place was accompanied by a loss of $7.9 billion. His wealth has been hit by twin blows of falling valuation of his construction interest, Orascom Constructions which has dropped over 80% from its peak, and falling oil prices which have affected many of the firm’s Middle Eastern clients.



________________________________________________

No. 2 Nicky Oppenheimer & Family (South Africa)
World Rank No 98 - Wealth $5 billion
They say diamonds are forever and the Oppenheimer family proved this as they remain as a mainstay of Africa’s rich list and they have weathered the financial crisis relatively unscathed. They were aided by having sold a significant part of their Anglo American empire at the peak of the market.





________________________________________________

No. 1 Mohammed Al Amoudi (Ethiopia)
World Rank No. 43 - Wealth $9 billion
We come to the top of the list and the honour of the ‘Richest Man in Africa’ goes to Ethiopian born Mohammed Al Amoudi. Saudi based Al Amoudi has successfully preserved his $9 billion fortune through these troubled times and that act of financial stewardship alone has seen him rise from No.4 to the top of the rich list and No.43 in the world. His interests are spread across
Sweden, the Middle East and his home country of Ethiopia.

How To Make Money Fast Online

Maverick Money Makers � 1997 - 2008

www.MaverickMentorMaking.com
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The question has come into everyone's mind at one point or another."How do I make money fast?" Luckily for everyone who has ever had that question come to mind there is an answer! There are several ways to make money quickly online, now we will venture through the online category.

3 websites to make money online.

1. Associated Content.
2. Cash Crate.
3. Forum booster.

Let's begin with associated content. Associated content should be the number one stop for those people who frequently ask themselves, how I could make money fast. Associated Content requires you to write content, which in other words for those who aren't familiar with the online language, content means articles.

Associated Content requires that you write articles for them, they will pay you anywhere from $3 to $40 for your content.

Most of the time however the bids that they place on your content are for much less than $10. However, this is still a great way to make money online if you can type several articles per day. You may be surprised to see how easy it has become to earn a part time income through writing for Associated Content.

The next site that we will talk about is Cash Crate. Cash Crate is a site that pays you to take surveys. They may pay anywhere from a dollar to possibly a hundred dollars, just for you to take a survey.

Doesn't sound too bad now does it? The reason they pay you to complete surveys is that companies are willing to shell out loads of cash for in-depth information from their consumers to find out exactly what they word on the street is about their product or services.

They even have a daily survey on the homepage that is guaranteed to make you some extra income; the guaranteed survey on the homepage pays $0.80. It may not seem like much but do the math, over a 30 day time period. That is almost $30 extra dollars just for taking surveys.

Are you still asking yourself that question, how do I make money fast? Well if writing tons of articles and taking surveys doesn't really sound like your cup of tea, there is always the alternative of Forum Booster.

Forum Booster is a website that pays you $0.10 for each post you make on a forum. This is great for those of us that would be searching and posting on forums either way, why not get paid for it? If you can post sixty posts in 1 hour, you can make $6, which is not that bad for earning money online.

It may not be minimum wage, but you have the advantage of being in the comfort of your own home. You can be in your pajamas sipping coffee while working on posting on these forums. Each post should be a minimum of 12 words, which is not difficult to do at all.

Overall there are tons of ways to make money quickly online but these are just the tried and true and the best of the best.

Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM)

Unless you have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend, chances are you’ll have to take out a
mortgage to purchase a home. As a cost for extending the mortgage to you, the bank will charge interest based on an interest rate. If your interest rate stays the same over the life of the loan, you have what’s known as a fixed rate mortgage, FRM. On the other hand, if your interest rate fluctuates during the life of the loan you have an adjustable rate mortgage, ARM.

Pros and Cons

What attracts many home buyers to adjustable rate mortgages is the low initial cost of the mortgage. Most ARMs start off with a low interest rate that makes mortgage payments more affordable than a fixed rate mortgage in the first few years of the mortgage.

To approve your mortgage application, the bank looks at a few of your financial facts, including your credit history and income. If you don’t have good credit, you might qualify for an adjustable rate mortgage when you don’t qualify for a fixed mortgage. For some home buyers, an adjustable rate mortgage is the only choice.

The downside of an adjustable rate mortgage is that payments fluctuate over time and typically increase. While you know the timing of these increases, you can’t predict the amount of the increase. If your income doesn’t increase to compensate or you don’t reduce your budget in other areas, your mortgage can easily become unaffordable. This is drastically different from a fixed rate mortgage where your payments will remain the same over the life of the loan. You never have to question if and when your payment is going to increase.

Types of ARMs

A hybrid ARM is a cross between a fixed rate mortgage and an ARM. The first few years of the mortgage has a fixed interest rate, followed by an adjustable rate for the remainder of the mortgage.

An option ARM gives the borrower a choice of payment amounts between interest-only payments or a minimum payment that’s below the interest-only payment. The interest rate on an option ARM mortgage adjusts on a monthly basis and the payment on a yearly basis.

With an option ARM there is the risk of negative amortization. This happens when monthly payments don’t cover the interest on the loan resulting in an increasing (rather than decreasing) mortgage balance.

An interest-only ARM is one in which the borrower only makes interest
payments on the mortgage.

Is an Adjustable Rate Mortgage Right For You?

Despite the drawbacks, there are situations where an adjustable rate mortgage is a smarter decision. If you’re planning to resell your home within five to seven years, an adjustable rate mortgage might be a better option.

If you expect your income to increase over time, an adjustable rate mortgage could be a good decision. You’ll have the convenience of lower initial payments and the comfort of knowing you’ll be able to afford payments when they increase.

You might consider choosing an ARM based on the initial lower mortgage interest rate. You might only be able to afford the monthly payments on a lower interest rate mortgage. Although the initial low payment might be attractive, there is the risk that interest rates will rise putting mortgage payments outside your budget. This type of situation recently occurred in the mortgage industry causing many homeowners to have their homes foreclosed. Some experts believe the drastic increase in foreclosure rates has spiraled the economy into a recession.

If you consider an ARM, pay attention to any interest rate caps, also called charge limits. These cap is a maximum limit on the amount of interest you can be charged. You can use this cap to decide if the highest possible mortgage payment is within your budget or not.

Many borrowers take out an ARM with the assumption they will later be able to refinance and avoid the rising mortgage payments. Unfortunately, a lot of things can happen that prevent mortgage refinancing from happening. In this situation, the borrower is forced to continue paying the mortgage under the current terms.

Depending on your needs, an ARM may or may not be right for you. It is best to evaluate the terms of an adjustable rate mortgage versus a fixed rate mortgage to make a decision.
