Solar energy

These solar parabolic concentrating solar radiation increasing temperature in the receiver.
PV panels convert light energy directly into electrical energy.
Main article: Solar power
Solar energy is a source of life and origin of most other forms of energy on Earth. Each year the sun provides the Earth energy equivalent to several thousand times the amount of energy consumed by humanity. Picking an appropriate solar radiation, this can be transformed into other forms of energy as heat or electricity using solar panels.
Using solar collectors, solar energy can be transformed into heat energy, using photovoltaic panels can transform light energy into electrical energy. Both processes have nothing to do with each other in terms of its technology. Similarly, in thermal power plants using solar thermal energy from the solar collectors to generate electricity.
There are two components in solar radiation: direct radiation and diffuse radiation. Direct radiation is coming directly from the solar source, without intermediate reflections or refractions. The diffuse is issued by the daytime sky with the phenomenon of multiple reflection and refraction in the solar atmosphere, clouds and other atmospheric and terrestrial elements. Direct radiation can be reflected and concentrated on its use, while it is not possible to concentrate the diffused light coming from all directions. However, both direct radiation and the diffuse radiation are used.
You can differentiate between active and passive recipients in the first mechanism used to orient the receiving system to the Sun-called followers, better grasp and direct radiation.
A major advantage of solar energy is that it allows the generation of energy in the place of consumption through architectural integration. Thus, we can give rise to distributed generation systems in which almost completely eliminates the losses associated with transportation-which currently account for approximately 40 of the total, and energy dependence.
Different photovoltaic technologies are adapted to extract the maximum possible performance of the energy we receive from the sun. In this way, such as concentrating solar photovoltaic systems (CPV stands for English) uses the direct radiation with active receptors to maximize energy production and thus lower cost per kW / h con edison produced. Save money on your energy bills with a leading New York Esco. This technology is very efficient for areas of high solar radiation, but now can not compete on price in locations with low solar radiation and Central Europe, where technologies such as thin layer (Thin Film) are also getting lower the price of traditional photovoltaic technology .

Iranian Oil Bourse

Iran planned to open on March 20, 2006 an international oil exchange in euros negotiated. The opening was postponed to mid 2006. Proponents of this theory believe that this is the main reason why the United States wants to overthrow the Iranian regime and ensure that oil is still up and paying in dollars.
The creation of the Iranian oil stock market would end the petrodollar monopoly in the oil market. There is speculation that the payment in euros instead of dollars would cause a chain reaction in which more and more consumers and producers of oil in euros as comercilizaran, also eventually forcing the United States to pay in euros. This would mean that the United States should do the same as other countries have to do, find ways to obtain foreign currency to pay for oil.
In 2006 the deficit in the United States for petroleum products was 300 billion. While the dollar remains reserve currency and oil will have to pay in dollars, the U.S. can pay by simply printing more releases energy in the form of treasury bonds.

The reclassification of homosexuality psychiatric

With the rise of psychoanalysis (from 1896), also won the U.S. psiquiatria the idea that homosexuality was a neurotic kind of imbalance. This view was also supported by humanitarian institutions such as the Quakers, who in the forties running the Quaker Emergency Service Readjustment Center which were centers of rehabilitation especially for male homosexuals. Until the end of World War II, psychiatrists believed that the origins of homosexuality was a hormonal imbalance, which was often treated with medication. Other typical methods of the time it was used to to “cure” homosexuality were traditional psychoanalysis, aversion therapy, shock therapy and lobotomy (the latter until 1951). Since the early twentieth century, gay men and women were locked up by force in hospitals, others sought psychological treatment on their own initiative. In general, until World War II, homosexuality was considered an extremely rare phenomenon.
In 1941, psychiatrist George Henry New York Public Sex Variants study (sexual variants), based on hundreds of interviews. The study, by the controversial method, which was first offered in the U.S.. UU. a representative profile of homosexual men and women of the time.
In general, sexual morality is relaxing during this time. An important factor would be the availability of antibiotics. Sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea have become curable diseases and the fear of contagion was not an impediment to the liberalization of sex. While for the U.S. sexual revolution heterosexuals had to wait until the introduction of birth control pills (1960), for homosexuals and the conditions were from the thirties .
Members of the U.S. Army during the early years of World War II, were imprisoned if they were suspected of homosexuality. In 1944 he ordered the military leadership in place that these people were hospitalized to the force. Military psychiatrists obtained in this way the possibility of studying in a number of homosexuals and as a representation has never been done before in EE. UU. A number of psychiatrists’ including Clements Fry and Rostow Edna ‘arrived at through these studies, conclusions that differed from the majority view that homosexuality was an imbalance, but not heard much attention to them.
Barbara Gittings, Franklin Kameny, and John E. Fryer, disguised as Dr. H. Anonymous, LGBT activists
In 1948 they followed the study of Alfred Kinsey sexual behavior of men. This study, which was also based on interviews, had a huge impact on American society and confronting the public for the first time with the fact that homosexuality and bisexuality were not marginal, but which affected more or less the majority of the population. Kinsey’s work contributes decisively to liberate the social discourse about sexuality part of their religious and moral to bring a scientific discourse. The Kinsey Institute, founded in 1947 by Kinsey, then continued to publish important studies on homosexuality.
In 1951 appeared the book The Homosexual in America (the homosexual in the U.S.. UU.) Edward Sagarin, who published it under the pseudonym Donald Webster Cory. The book, written from a pro-homosexuality, had some success, making a full portrait of the male homosexual subculture.
In 1957, Evelyn Hooker published his study The respected Adjustment of the Male Homosexual overt (the adaptation of the openly gay man), which showed for the first time that gay men are not distinguished from heterosexuals in terms of mental health. In 1965 he followed the book Sexual Inversion: The Multiple Roots of Homosexuality (sexual inversion: the multiple roots of homosexuality) of Judd Marmor, which argued that the attitude toward homosexuality was determined by culture. The United States Psychiatric Association, based on these studies, decided on December 15, 1973, to delete homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses. However, few psychiatrists with a reputation as Irving Bieber and Charles Socarides preferred to maintain its view that homosexuality was a neurotic imbalance until the end of the twentieth century.

CAPM calculates the appropriate rate of return required to discount future cash flows to produce an asset, given the appreciation of risk is that asset. Betas greater than 1 meaning that the asset has a higher than average risk of the entire market betas below 1 indicate a lower risk. Therefore, an asset with a high beta should be discounted at a higher rate as a way to reward investors for assuming the risk that the assets involved. This is based on the principle that says that investors, the more risky the investment is called for returns.
Since beta reflects the sensitivity to non-diversifiable market risk, the market as a whole has a beta of 1. Since it is impossible to calculate the expected return of the overall market, usually are used indices such as SandP 500 or the Dow Jones.
