The
abacus system of mental calculation is a system where users mentally visualize
an abacus to do calculations. No
physical abacus is used; only the answers are written down. Calculations can be
made at great speed in this way. For example, in the Flash Anzan event at the
All Japan Soroban Championship, champion Takeo Sasano was able to add fifteen
three-digit numbers in just 1.7 seconds. This system is being propagated in
China, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Japan and India. Mental calculation
is said to improve mental capability, increases speed of response, memory
power, and concentration power.

A Proveable Truth...
NO POSTS ON WEEKENDS
INCOME INEQUALITY
1. In 81 percent of American
counties, the median income, about $52,000, is less than it was 15 years ago.
This is despite the fact that the economy has grown 83 percent in the past
quarter-century and corporate profits have doubled. American workers produce
twice the amount of goods and services as 25 years ago, but get less of the
pie.
2. The amount of money that
was given out in bonuses on Wall Street last year is twice the amount all
minimum-wage workers earned in the country combined.
3. The wealthiest 85 people
on the planet have more money that the poorest 3.5 billion people combined.
4. The average wealth of an
American adult is in the range of $250,000-$300,000. But that average number
includes incomprehensibly wealthy people like Bill Gates. Imagine 10 people in
a bar. When Bill Gates walks in, the average wealth in the bar increases
unbelievably, but that number doesn’t make the other 10 people in the bar
richer. The median per adult number is only about $39,000, placing the U.S.
about 27th among the world’s nations, behind Australia, most of Europe and even
small countries like New Zealand, Ireland and Kuwait.
5. Italians, Belgians and
Japanese citizens are wealthier than Americans.
6. The poorest half of the
Earth’s population owns 1% of the Earth’s wealth. The richest 1% of the Earth’s
population owns 46% of the Earth’s wealth.
7. More locally, the poorest
half of the US owns 2.5% of the country’s wealth. The top 1% owns 35% of it.
8. Inequality is a worldwide
problem. In the UK, doctors no longer occupy a place in the top 1% of income
earners, London plays host to the largest congregation of Russian millionaires
outside of Moscow, and also houses more ultra-rich people (defined as owning
more than $30 million in assets outside of their home) than anywhere else on
Earth.
9. The slice of the national
income pie going to the wealthiest 1% of Americans has doubled since 1979.
10. The 1% also takes home
20% of the income. This figure is the most since the 1920s era of laissez faire
government (under Republicans Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert
Hoover).
11. The super rich .01% of
America, such as Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan, take home a whopping 6% of the
national income, earning around $23 million a year. Compare that to the average
$30,000 a year earned by the bottom 90 percent of America.
12. The top 1% of America
owns 50% of investment assets (stocks, bonds, mutual funds). The poorest half
of America owns just .5% of the investments.
13. The poorest Americans do
come out ahead in one statistic: the bottom 90% of America owns 73% of the
debt.
14. Tax rates for the middle
class have remained essentially unchanged since 1960. Tax rates on the highest
earning Americans have plunged from an almost 70% tax rate in 1945 down to
around 35% today. Corporate tax rates have dropped from 30 percent in the 1950s
to under 10 percent today.
15. Since 1990, CEO
compensation has increased by 300%. Corporate profits have doubled. The average
worker’s salary has increased 4%. Adjusted for inflation, the minimum wage has
actually decreased.
16. CEOs in 1965 earned about
24 times the amount of the average worker. In 1980 they earned 42 times as
much. Today, CEOs earn 325 times the average worker.
17. Wages, as a percent of
the overall economy, have dropped to an historic low.
18. In a study of 34 developed
countries, the United States had the second highest level of income inequality,
ahead of only Chile.
19. Young people in the U.S.
are getting poorer. The median wealth of people under 35 has dropped 68% since
1984. The median wealth of older Americans has increased 42%.
20. The average white
American’s median wealth is 20 times higher ($113,000) than the average African
American ($5,600) and 18 times the Hispanic American ($6,300).
21. America’s highest
income inequality is located in the states surrounding Wall Street (New York
City) and the oil-rich states.
22. Since 1979, high school
dropouts have seen median weekly income drop by 22 percent. Ethnically, the
highest dropout rates are among Hispanic and African American children.
23. In 1970, a woman earned
about 60% of the amount a man earned. In 2005 a woman earned about 80% of what
a man earned. Since 2005, there has been no change in that figure.
African-American women earn just 64% of what a white male earns, and Hispanic
women just 56%.
24. Over 20 percent of all
American children live below the poverty line. This rate is higher than almost
all other developed countries.
Is that the country you invisioned raising your children?

The yawning girl might not want to yawn like that in front of her first date. Go back and look at it. Maybe it’s just me, but it looks like she’s advertising other talents.
