Time value of money: Thermodynamic assessment of explosives for rockblasting

By -

 

Money tomorrow is not as valuable as money today. 

Given the choice of having the same amount of money in the future or right now, everyone would prefer to have it now. Money to be received in the future might not materialize. Even if there was no such risk, money is still worth more if it is available for use now. If it is available now, the opportunity set of possible uses for the money is as road as possible. If the money won't be available until sometime in the future, then the opportunity set is limited to a smaller subset of this first set. Maximum freedom to choose is always worth something--particularly in more uncertain environments. Therefore, money to be received in the future must include a premium if it is to be thought of as being equivalent to money today. Future cash flows (i.e., money) must be discounted to be compared with cash flows in the present.

In this context, it is prudent to use simulation models like TIGER CODE, CHEETAH, and GPENG CODE to reap benefits by the use of the right kind of explosives for rock blasting operations and mining activities.

Economic Recovery post-covid19: a Layman’s Viewpoints : Dr. Manoj Kumar Patel : Economy and Economics: An economy encompasses all activity related to production, consumption, and trade of goods and services in an area. An economy applies to everyone from individuals to entities such as corporations and governments. A region's economy is connected with things like how many goods and services are produced and how much money people can spend on these things. The economy is measured by the Gross Domestic Product or GDP. When the GDP growth rate turns negative, the economy enters a recession. The most important part of the economy is consumer spending. So, as a rule of thumb, more the transactions and spending by the consumers better is the economy of that country. Thus money should be available in the hands of the consumers. The other three components are business expenditures, government spending, and net exports. Economics is a social science that deals wi

Some Thoughts on The National Teacher's Day, 5th September

Every year, India celebrates September 5, the birth anniversary of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, as National Teachers’ Day.   According to media reports, it is believed that while Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was serving as the second President of India in 1962, his students approached him to seek permission to celebrate his birthday – September 5 – as a special day. To this, he instead made a request to observe September 5 as Teachers’ Day, to recognize the contribution of teachers to society. This is the genesis of the Teacher’s Day in India. Hindu Sanatana culture is filled with teachings that help enlighten students and teachers alike to follow paths that can help a civilized society. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF A STUDENT: In Shrimad Bhagavat Gita, Shree Krishna, in one of the verses (4:33) tells Arjun that it is good to do physical acts, ritualistic ceremonies, fasts, mantra chants, holy pilgrimages, but if they are not performed with knowledge, they remain mere physical activities.

The Golden Hearts and the Rusted Gold

The Golden Hearts and the Rusted Gold Gold  is one of the least reactive elements.  Gold does not combine easily with oxygen so it remains shining. It neither does   rust  nor gets tarnished. Impurities, however, it can spoil the quality of gold. Humans are just like pure gold. We all have born with a pure heart. But as we grow chronologically, layers of impurities get settled over our pure hearts, and gradually these get spoiled. We do not take diligent care, the way we take care of our jewelry, to keep our hearts shining. We ignore the layers of dirt over it. A stage comes when the pure heart does not become visible and it is the dirt only that reflects from our personality. How can dirt reflect rays of shines? We should take care of our Golden Heart so that the Heart remains resplendent.
