World Population Trends
Starting Tips:
The two most reasonable points to make a prediction about the future are points (1970, 3,680,000,000) and (2006, 6,552,000,000). In thirty six years, from 1970 to 2006, the total human population almost doubled. Multiplying 3,680 by 1.7555 I got 6,460.24 Giving a clear prediction that in another 36 years the population will probably double again.
6552 = 3680(1 + r)2006 – 1970
(819/460) = (1 + r)36
(819/460)1/36 = 1 + r

(819/460)1/36 – 1 = r
0.016152892 = r
0.01615 ? r
y = 3680(1.016152892)x – 1970
There is a 1.6152892% increase.
So then what will the population be approximately in another thirty six years?
y = 3680(1.016152892)2042 – 1970
y = 3680(1.016152892)72
y = 3,680(3.16994802)
y = 11665.40871
y ? 11665.4087

The Facts:
The total surface area of the earth is approximately 196,930,000 square miles. Approximately 29.2% of earths total surface area is land. Each person takes up one square foot of land.
(196,930,000)(0.0292) = 57,503,560 sq miles of land.
This then means that approximately 57,503,560 square miles is land and I need to convert square miles to square feet.
1sq miles = 27,878,400 sq feet
(57,503,560 sq miles)(27,878,400 sq feet) = 1.60310725 x 1015
160,310,725,000,000,000,000,000 sq feet
The Question:
If this pattern of data continued, how long do you think it would take until we were all squashed up against one another?
Meaning that if each person takes up one square foot of land that means there will have to be 160,310,725,000,000,000,000,000 people to get to where everyone was squished up together. To find how long this would take the use of logarithms are in need.
1.60310725 x 1015 = 3,680 x 106 (1.016152892)x – 1970
435626.9701 = (1.016152892)x – 1970
log(435626.9701) = log(1.016152892x – 1970)
log(435626.9701) = (x – 1970)log(1.016152892)
log(435626.9701)/log(1.016152892) = x – 1970
[log(435626.9701)/log(1.016152892)] + 1970 = x
1977.796564 = x
1977.7966 ? x
1977.796564 + 1970 = 3947.796564
1977.796564 + 1970 ? 3947.7966
In 3947 the world will no longer have any room.
Some factors that could change this estimated population could be some of the following:
disease, war (nuclear killing billions), meteor(s), global warming, natural disasters (volcanoes, earthquakes, storms), poisoning of the environment through our waste, infertility of the human race, the sun either exploding or dieing, and over cutting creating a unbreathable earth.

I am getting ready to start wedding photography, can someone honestly tell me how much I can expect to make on average per month living between Los Angeles and San Diego? I would think being between 2 major cities, advertising on craigslist, and in the local papers, being part of a church group, I would do fairly well and should be able to pull between 3 and 7 weddings each month. Does this sound realistic? I have an SLR with a hot box and flash, other lighting equipment. I believe as far as equipment Im ready and will probably do the 3 weddings for almost free. I am and buisness minded I have ran my own buisness before so I know how to market myself, I also sold cars before, so I am good at building customer relations. I think I take great pictures and have heard the same from other people. Ill let you be the Judge www.yountphotographyonline.com. I can handle constructive critisicsm. I just started this website. Comments/Suggestions plz email me @ j_yount_3@yahoo.com Thanks Josh

I’ll be shooting a friend’s wedding at the end of May, well actually it’s a renewal of vows ceremony. It’ll be an outdoor luau. She’s hiring a professional, but she said I could shoot too for the experience and to add to my portfolio.

Ok, so anyways, I’m shooting with a Lumix G1 and a 14-45mm kit lens. I’d like to invest in a decent flash and a wide-angle attachment for my lens (can’t afford a new lens just yet). Ok so 2 question:

Can you suggest a flash with enough power for a nighttime ceremony (and yes I know in these situations it’s ideal to have more than one light source but I just can’t afford it right now) and can you also suggest a good quality wide-angle attachment (my lens has 52mm threads) for the group shots and scenery shots. The cost of the flash doesn’t concern me too much. I need one anyways so I’d like to get something versatile and of good quality!

Also, any other tips you may have for shooting a nighttime outdoor wedding would be very much appreciated! Thank you so much!

Okay, this question has a couple different parts and I want to go ahead and say thanks for any and all help!
Short version is: Should i get a ring at Zales/Gordon’s, do they back up what they sell pretty good? Do they go out of business often?
Should i get yellow gold or white? White has to be dipped every year and yellow doesnt. If i get white it’s going to be an extra $75 warranty to have free rhodium dips. Is it worth it since my closest zales and gordons is more than an hour away?

Below is a lot more details so you can better understand my questions and why i have them.
I got engaged May 2009. I have a white gold band with a solitaire. We started looking for bands for the ceremony (august 2010) and i decided i like the ones with diamonds in them.
To get a band that looks good with my diamond and on my finger (they are long but chubby) I would need a 1/2 carat total weight band, either pave or channel. It’s basically going to be just as cheap to get a pretty bridal set as it is a 1/2 carat band. I tried some on and have also looked online and am willing to sacrifice the 1/2 carat band to get a prettier bridal set with a little less carat weight. The set i like looks pretty big on the hand but up close it’s several smaller diamonds grouped together. I’ll post a link of the one im considering, below.

My main issue is, I had NO clue that white gold was actually just a faint yellow gold dipped in rhodium. I started doing some research and heard people talking about getting their rings “dipped” and then I started studying my band on my diamond and sure enough there’s a little faint yellow showing through. When I asked several jewelers they said most people get them dipped once a year and it’s about $35 per ring.

So.. If i get a white gold set from Zales/Gordon’s they have the diamond bond which says that if i break or chip or lose a diamond or knock the head off the ring, they will fix or replace it ( i like that a lot). That’s included with the price. I can also add on an extra warranty that allows me free sizing and rhodium dipping for life and it’s $75. My main question is, should I get the ring from Zales/Gordon’s and if so, should I add the $75 warranty? The only reason I’m thinking about not adding that on is because there is only one zales and one gordon’s around me within a 2 hours radius. I have to take the diamond there every 6 months for inspection. What happens if I get the ring at Gordons and then they go out of business? I’ve emailed the company to see if i can take it to any other gordons or a zales since they own each other. So far all i got was “we need more time to answer your Q”

Also, I prefer white gold but should i maybe reconsider and train myself to like yellow gold since i wont have to worry about having it dipped every year? My class ring is yellow and i don’t really mind it, i just seem to prefer white but maybe that’s because it’s the “going thing.” I know most people will say “go with what you like since you’re wearing it” but im wondering if anyone out there thinks it’s worth the hassle to have to get the white one dipped every year…and keep in mind i have to drive more than an hour to get it inspected twice a year and to get it dipped once a year. And also keep in mind they could go out of business since they are in a rinkydink mall in a small town.

Here’s the ring in yellow: http://www.zales.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4091622&kpc=1
Here it is in white: http://www.zales.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4091621&kpc=1

If you made it this far, i have one more question: Can you haggle with jewelry chains like zales, gordons, and kays? Could i ask them what’s the lowest they’d take if im paying cash (which we will be)
If I get platinum i would have to go way lower in carat size.
The deal is, I’m in college and he just bought a house. Obviously we cant spend a thousand more dollars on a ring set because the ring i have now is already about that much. Like i said, it’s about as cheap to get a set as it is to get a band in the specifications i want.
The reason i asked about haggling the price is that the rep at gordon’s said they can give a 10% discount if she asks the manager. So i assumed if they could ask and knock off 10% why not 15 or 20% if im paying cash and not financing.
I found the exact same set with the same color and clarity on another site for about half of what gordon’s charges… so now i hav e to decide if i want to chance buying it online and pocket the extra $400 to pay for dipping and small stone replacement.
I’m just trying to save my fiance money, he does so much for me already. I know i sound cheap but im just trying not to take advantage of his money for a ring that is only a symbol. Some people don’t even have rings so I already feel blessed.

So me and my bf are planning to get married, and I never been to a real wedding in my life so I need some helpful tips as to how you should plan a wedding and what exactly can you and your groom plan together?

I am going to be starting my junior year in college in a couple days, I am also engaged to a soldier who is currently deployed. Originally we planned to get married next summer but he and my parents felt that it would be best to wait until after I graduate the following summer to save up money for the wedding and gain some maturity. We were also concerned about how my marital status would effect my financial aid. I and my fiance have heard that he can transfer his g.i. bill to his spouse, but I am a bit uncertain about it. Another issue is that we live very far apart, due to where he is stationed and we barely get to see each other. My fiance suggested that we get married on paper when he returns in December that way I could spend my summer, spring, and winter breaks with him for two years before we are officially married. However, since legally we will still be married this could also potentially effect my financial aid and I’m not sure about transferring his g.i. bill. Also my parents think I should just wait for two years but I really want to spend time with him before we get married, I just want to see him, this situation is so complicated it seems. Both I and my parents are confused as to what we should do, and as my fiance is deployed I don’t want to discuss this with him yet, he has alot more to worry about right now. Please help, any suggestions would be great. Also I heard that if you are an e-5 you can live off base on your own without being married, but do you still recieve B.A.H. for that? My fiance is currently an E-2 but he says he will be an E-3 after this deployment, does anyone know how long it would take him to be an E-5. Sorry for so many questions and thank you so very much for your help!

When looking for a DJ what types of questions do we ask? Do you know if we can make a list of all the songs we want him/her to play? When I’ve looked up many on the Internet they all have said “we don’t have to meet in person”..blah, blah…but how can someone depend on a person they’ve never really met?

Since we are getting married outside what types of things should we look for when looking for our Officiant?

Also, tonight I am going to the place where we will be married and we are going over the contract, what types of questions should I ask? I asked a lot when we were there looking at the place but are there specific questions to ask when going over the contract?

My color scheme, is lavender, Baby blue, and white, I wanted to add a fourth color in there. Should it be yellow or pink?

What are wedding favors? Do I have to have them?

What is the meaning behind something blue, something new, something borrowed and am I supposed to be carrying or wearing all these things while I walk down the aisle?

Sorry so many questions but like many I’ve never done this before…Thanks

I just got engaged on Thanksgiving and we are planning to get married in the summer of 2010 (no date chosen yet). I don’t really know anything about wedding stuff, planning, etc so hopefully some of you can give me some good advice.

I know it varies a lot, but what what price range do wedding dresses run? Also, I’ve heard it’s cheaper to go to David’s Bridal than a local bridal salon; is this true? If so, have any of you shopped at David’s and if so how was your experience?

As far as price range, I want either an a-line or more preferably a ball gown. I’m not looking for any other styles. Any idea what I might expect to pay? My parents are only paying for some of the wedding and I’m on my own to buy the dress so I need to know what I could budget for.

Also, I’ve heard once you buy your dress it can take forever for it to come in, and even longer to get alterations done. That being said, when should I get my dress?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am looking for a setting to my engagement ring online and was wondering if anyone knew a good online company for wedding rings of quality but a reasonable cost? Also what do you call the part of the ring that the engagement solitary diamond is set on?

Thank you much!
