Your author decided to write this book about Genome Mapping after attending a Dinner Lecture for Caltech Alumni living in the Santa Barbara County area of Mid-Coast California Dr David Barker, BS 1963 Caltech & PhD in Biochemistry from Brandeis University, gave a slide presentation on DNA sequencing and what it can tell you. In my quest for more knowledge about this exciting area of biochemistry, I sought more information about Genome Mapping and Entire DNA Sequencing from the Google and Yahoo search engines. As is common in Internet Research, I found a great deal of research was taking place worldwide. It was my objective to summarize this research in this book so my readers could learn what is happening and where to find more information about this important area of Biochemistry. One possibility is modifying your DNA to reduce susceptibility to certain diseases..perhaps we will be able to reduce our risk of cancer. One of my good friends died recently of Prostate Cancer, so my interest in combating Cancer has been intensified.
Your author has based this book on the advice of a Israeli agent on how to avoid terrorist attacks, which is spelled out in Chapter 1. His advice is generated from having lived in Israel for many years where terrorist attacks are a way of life since they have so many enemies who would love to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth. I am especially sensitive to terrorist attacks, since when I was working on a classified project in Iran during the late 1970's, the colleagues with whom I was working were traveling from the Tehran Hilton Hotel to the project site by automobile. All of the people were attacked and killed by terrorists. I feel lucky to be alive since I was not in the car that day.
Your author decided to write this book about NanoTechnology after being reminded of the fantastic developments of Professor Richard P Feynman who was a professor at Caltech while your author was a physics student earning his BS there between 1947 and 1951. I started studying the pioneering research of Dr. Feynman after being reminded of his famous lecture titled: There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom. This discourse was presented at an American Physical Society meeting at Caltech on December 29, 1959. Feynman considered the possibility of direct manipulation of individual atoms as a more powerful form of synthetic chemistry than the methods used at the time. This became nanotechnology
Cosmology findings are increasing rapidly due to the new Research Tools available to astronomy scientists such as the CARMA (space array), the Hubble space borne telescope and others. I have been interested in Cosmology for many years and while I lived in Spain I used information collected from the Internet, once it became available, to give lectures on this subject to the English Speaking Group. This book is a summary of the latest cosmology research collected from the Internet plus information compiled after attending lectures at Caltech on cosmology research. One of the main thrusts of current cosmology research is searching for planets around nearby stars which may have life. The best telescopes when your author attended Caltech from 1947 thru 1951 was the 100 inch mirror in the Mount Wilson dome, later updated to the 200 inch mirror at the Palomar Observatory near San Diego. The new information about the cosmology is exploding at a rapid rate which I find exciting
I attended the Caltech Seminar Day on 16th May 09 and heard a lecture: Quantum Information Science presented by Professor J Preskill. His lecture had a number of slides showing how the three dimensions of Quantum states function. He mentioned Quantum Computers as the next step in computer science from the classical transistor based digital computers which have made such a change in the life of modern day humans. Since I have a deep interest in computer science based on my professional experience: designing Avionics systems for military aircraft which were the first to use digital computers, Teaching Computer Science as an adjunct assistant professor to graduate students, Designing and fabricating small digital computers in a small company I decided I needed to learn about Quantum Computers and where research is going in this important new technology. The way I discovered the status of Quantum Computer is using the Google & Yahoo search engines. I was happy that Indiana University and Caltech have active Quantum Computer Research programs in progress. Jon Schiller holds a BS in Physics from Caltech and a PhD from the University of Southern California in EE & Mathematics. He has authored: 21st Century Cosmology
The erratic behavior of the US and World Stock Markets required a change in trading strategy to avoid a loss of trading capital caused by enormous increases and decreases in the OEX and SPX during a trading day. My software program, SelfAdapDTN4, evolved during the last 10 years of tracking a great number of indices and many stocks. It became very complex to use for trading. In July 2010 I decided the complexity needed to be reduced for efficiency for the options trader. I renovated my software to focus on the best weekly options to consider for trading. By sorting thru the indices and stocks tracked by my old software I found there were several weekly options that were worth tracking in today's market. The new software program is SelfAdapJonWeeklyCndrs which emphasizes a simpler user interface. The size of the software was halved. Appendix B is an abbreviated version of the manual for the software .
Your author decided to write this book about Human Evolution after seeing a Science Program about Evolution on KCET, the Public Service TV Station in the Los Angeles area. I was impressed with the amount of research going on in this area trying to find out where we, Homosapiens, came from. I decided to use the Google and Yahoo search engines to find out the latest probes which I used for this book. I have included the many reference sources so the reader can visit these Internet accounts to keep up with what is happening after this book is published. In other words, this is a snapshot-in-time report of what is happening research-wise at the end of the first decade of the 21st Century.
The Author has been creating Visual Basic Programs for Options Trading while living in Spain starting in 1990. Your Author decided to write this book based on his writing new Options Trading programs using the most up to date Visual Pasic downloaded from the Visual Basic Website & Java. The downloads from Microsoft & Java are free of charge. The first sections explain the steps I had to take to use Visual Basic Express & Java Programming & the Java Platform to supplement the information in the Help section. I will give three examples of possible uses of Visual Basic. One Example is a program that allows you to use my latest Options Trading software for trading OEX Weekly Options which were first introduced in the CBOE on 28 October 2005. I adapted my OEX options trading strategies to use these weekly options. I use the realtime quotes from DTN.IQ & the free delayed quotes from CBOE for the programs. The second section explains how to use Visual Basic Express to prepare a PDF book document ready to submit to BookSurge/CreateSpace, subsidiary of Amazon.com & to Google Books Partner Program. The example can be. easily adapted to fit any POD publisher's format. The third example is totally different: how to win the TransPac Yacht Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu.
Describes threat to Earth caused by Green House gas emission from Autos and Power plants. Describes non fossil fuel cars, alternate energy sources such as wind generators & solar panels.
Your author decided to write this book about Prostate Cancer when one of his best friends suffered from this disease. He took extensive chemotherapy which extended his life, but made living difficult. His body was saying make me live longer, but his mind was saying I should die, living is too painful to continue. His mind finally won-out and he died. This book used Internet to learn about the symptoms of Prostate Cancer and the latest therapies used to extend the life span of people suffering from this cancer. One promising technology is the use of Nanocells which are injected in the patient's blood stream. These nanocells seek out the cancer cells and destroy them, thus curing the patient. I learned studying Nanotechnology research for another book that people investigating the applications of Nanocells had injected such synthesized cells into mice and the cells had sought out the cancer cells and destroyed them, thus curing the mice. If Bioscience researchers can do the same thing for humans, then there is hope for eradicating Prostate Cancer.
The US Stock Market collapsed on Thursday, 6 May 2010 when the Dow Jones Index spiked down over 1000 points in a matter of a few minutes. Such a world market sell caused by a true Cyber attack could destroy the wealth of billions of people around the globe. This book will examine what Cyber Attacks could do to the civilized world, which grows more dependent on the Internet functioning properly to perform all of the complex tasks that need to be done every day.
This is the story of a successful aerospace executive and his family. The family includes the executive, his wife, his 5 children, both parents of the executive and his wife, the 2 brothers of the wife, and the one brother of the executive. The children's spouses are listed, and the 13 grandchildren and spouses are listed. The 3 great grandchildren are listed. Any special awards or trophies awarded to family members are listed in an Appendix. For historical interest famous people with the family name are listed in a second Appendix. Jon Schiller became interested in this family when he met the husband and wife on a trip to Spain. He kept in touch with the key family members when they returned to California in the first few years of the 21st Century.

We are undergoing a period of rapid change in technology. I decided to write this book giving a perspective on where we are today and how we evolved to reach today's level of advanced technology. One example of what I mean is small home and lap top computers with more power than a room sized IBM computer at Caltech when I went there. Another example is Microsoft Word which makes it possible to write this and other books I have published. Excel makes it possible to create sophisticated Options Trading Software without struggling to use program languages such as Basic. PowerPoint allows me to make briefings using eye-catching colored briefing charts with equations and charts copied from Word and Excel. A third example is Internet which allows me do things on my home computer such as get up-to-date financial news of the US and the World. I can get Options quotes free from the CBOE website. I can send files for the books I write to the publisher by uploading on Internet. The last item I will mention is the class of low cost items made possible by nano-electronics such as Cellphones and Tablet Computers
Emile Manns Smyth took : HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION (HOC), a course offered at Occidental College, while earning her BA in Education. This course, which was a outstanding review of what happened during different time periods as civilization evolved was well remember by her and other OXY alumni who took the same course.Unfortunately, this course is no longer offered by OXY, so I felt it important to document the topics covered in this course, so future students will understand what they missed by not having such a course at OXY or other Universities around the world.Emilie hopes to give copies of this Published Book to her fellow alumni during the June 2012 Alumni celebrations a Occidental College.The HOC course was comprised of Professors giving lectures on relevant topics during the time period of that part of the course. IThe time periods started with the Pre-historic,,,Cretian , Egyptian, Chinese, Roman, Grecian, Biblical, Moslems in Spain, Middle Ages (1500's), Inquisition, ,Crusades, Global Exploration (1992- 1600s), Renaissance, Rise of Cites, Revolutionary Period (1800s), Industrial Revolution, (1800-1900), Modern Civilization (1900-Present)-
The attempts for the Current Administration to get their programs enacted through Congress or by Administrative Directives for items they consider important enough to be enforced when Congress will not approve the item lead to great instability in the Stock Market. It is now simple to see on Internet the Washington DC machinations between the President and the Republican House of Representatives Chairman. I (your author) lived in Spain for 20 years before returning to California. In Spain I leaned to trade Index Options from a NY expert whose strategy was to sell Call Options 2 standard deviations (2sig) above the market and sell Put Options 2 sig below the market. After returning to California I continued Index options trading using Standard & Poor's 500 (SPX) Index and using Condors. Being an Options Trader using the CBOE (Chicago Board of Exchange), I find the inability in Washington to avoid the automatic spending cuts made Wall Street nervous which affected the weekly options prices. As a result I have had to learn to use my Options Trading Software: SelfAdapSPXWeeklyVLTY to make profits during this period of Washington-caused Wall Street nervousness. What does the nervousness do to the Index values? They make either big weekly Jumps or Drops. I use the SPX index for my weekly options trading. I use the Welles-Wilder Index to predict the abnormal market movements as will be explained in this book. So I am able to profit from trading Weekly Index Options even when the machinations of the Washington Politicians cause instability or abnormal movements in the Indices. I have devised tactics to use and in this book I will explain how to use them in my Weekly Options trading software.
The US and the World financial systems collapsed in the Fall of 2008 which caused the US Treasury to initiate bailouts for several major US corporations. The US Fed lowered the interest rates to zero %. The US Congress and Treasury provided bailouts to prevent corporations such as GM, AIG and banks from collapse. A big chunk of AIG's payments, $22.4 billion of $118.4 billion, was made to Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs (GS Quote), Bank of America (BAC Quote), Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley (MS Quote), as well as to foreign banks like Societe Generale, Deutsche Bank (DB Quote) and Barclays (BCS Quote). These firms bought Credit Default Swaps (CDS) from the insurer. CDSs insure counterparties against major losses on debt investments. As the value of those investments declined, AIG was obligated to provide collateral payments to the firms that purchased CDS. This worsened the economic decline. The OEX S&P 100 index fell from 560.90 on 25-September-2008 to 411.90 on 27-October-2008, a drop of 149 points, or 26.5% in one month. This was the October 2008 stock market collapse. During this same period my OEX weekly options trading capital went from $4,242 to $6,189, or an increase of $1,948, or 45.9%. In other words, when the stock market fell by 26% the weekly option trading value rose by 45.9%. I want to show the reader how to trade OEX weekly Options. These weekly options open on Friday to expire the following Friday. Chapter 2 details the easy to use Weekly Option trading strategies.
In mid 2011 the US finds it has a huge multitrillion dollar public deficit. This deficit grew to a level approaching the Gross Domestic Product which relatively speaking was challenging the debt reached during WWII when the debt exceeded the GDP. As I attempted to quantify in this book, the huge increase in public debt was caused by two very long wars: the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war, which was the longest war the US has ever waged. In 2008 the US economy entered into the deepest recession it has seen since the depression starting in October 1929 and lasting until WWII (1941). This 21st century recession caused revenues to diminish greatly. Huge bail out programs were necessary to save large US banks and manufacturing companies. Also the USG made expenditures to help that segment of the population most affected by the recession such as the unemployed and Senior citizens needing health care to stay alive. These factors caused the Public Debt to mushroom to the large size the US congress and administration in Washington worked so long to try to reduce. Their perceived lack of problem solving skills caused uncertainty in the financial markets which resulted in huge plunges in the stock market and the downgrading by one credit rating agency (S&P) to reduce the US's rating from AAA to AA+. This event resulted in a huge sell-off in the stock market and a big rise in the cost of Federal Bonds. This book attempts to present the happenings in a logical fashion so the reader can understand the severe strain it placed on the American citizens and financial system. The political struggle over raising the debt limit will intensify as the new 12 man Super Committee takes on the challenge of lowering the public debt. While polls show voters angry over the debt, and politicians support a goal of paying it down, the two principal deficit-reduction plans would merely restrain its growth for the next decade. Congress "would have to enact policies that would produce a surplus," with money left over to begin retiring debt, said Robert Bixby, executive director of the anti-deficit Concord Coalition. The last government surplus was in 2001. For one to occur in the future would require "Republican spending policies and Democratic tax policies," Bixby said, referring to GOP calls for deep program cuts, and Obama's support for higher taxes. "Right now (before the debt crisis) the two parties haven't been able to agree on those kinds of changes." The increase in debt woven into their budgets is not a fact that Obama Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., chairman of the House Budget Committee, or any other official chooses to trumpet. The president and most lawmakers generally avoid saying directly that government debt will rise if their budget prevails - although they are careful not to claim it won't, either. Instead, they use similar, vaguely reassuring terms

Osama bin Laden, the face of global terrorism and architect of the September 11, 2001, attacks, was killed in a firefight with elite American forces on Monday (1 May 2011 Pakistani time which was 2 May 2011 Washington, DC, time), then quickly buried at sea in a stunning finale to a furtive decade on the run. Long believed to be hiding in caves, bin Laden was tracked down in a costly, custom-built hideout not far from a Pakistani military academy. The stunning news of his death prompted relief and euphoria outside the White House and around the globe, yet also fears of terrorist reprisals against the United States and its allies. "Justice has been done," President Barack Obama said in a dramatic announcement at the White House. The military operation took mere minutes, and there were no U.S. casualties. U.S. helicopters ferried troops from Navy SEAL Team Six, a top military counter-terrorism unit, into the compound identified by the CIA as bin Laden's hideout - and back out again in less than 40 minutes. Bin Laden was shot in the head, officials said, after he and his bodyguards resisted the assault. Three adult males were also killed in the raid, including one of bin Laden's sons, whom officials did not name. One of bin Laden's sons, Hamza, is a senior member of al-Qaeda. U.S. officials also said one woman was killed when she was used as a shield by a male combatant, and two other women were injured. The U.S. official who disclosed the burial at sea said it would have been difficult to find a country willing to accept the remains. Obama said the remains had been handled in accordance with Islamic custom, which requires speedy burial.

My recently re-written (at the beginning of 2011) software program: SelfAdapINDXWeeklyCndrs, evolved during the last 6 years of trading weekly options. The evolution simplified the software user interface. The NEW Weekly Condor Trading Software focuses on selecting the best 2SigMaxMin Condors from SPX, OEX, and SPY, that is, the one with the greatest potential weekly profit. In a few short minutes the software allows the trader to choose the best Condor to trade for the greatest weekly profit I trade using software I have written using Microsoft's Excel. Recently a reader has used my software on a Macintosh computer. Everything seems to work the same except when copying the CBOE Quotes, an extra blank row appears above the data. One way to solve this problem for Mac computer owners is to add ONE to the formulas (in the formula bar at the top of the screen) in the cells referring to the NOW columns in the Condor sheets for the Call spread rows and then for the Put spread rows. Example = D57 - D58 would have to be changed to D58- D59. The wild market swings (such as caused the May 2010 Flash Crash) have compelled the SEC to introduce required procedures to reduce these wild swings. The 2SigMaxMin Condors help the trader to make weekly profits in spite of what volatility remains after the new SEC procedures Each trading week the trader should select on Friday the best weekly options Condor to open the next Monday which will expire the following Friday expiration. The book explains what the trader must do if the short Call or short Put becomes ITM (In The Money). The trader should follow these procedures to minimize short term losses and make their trading profitable. I modified my software during my 25 years of trading as the market changed. I started using credit index OEX 100 monthly options spreads which required leaving the options spreads open from the third Friday to the third Friday of each month. When Weekly options became available, I found that was a safer way to trade than monthly options since your options positions were only available to be battered by the volatile market for a week at a time: All of the big traders watch the same financial information on Internet: When they see Good Info they buy, causing the market to jump, often more than 2 sigma. When they see Bad News they all sell, causing the market to plunge, often more than 2 sigma. One of the main goals of this book is to show ways I have discovered to avoid weekly options losses when these big Jumps and Drops occur. It is easy to make good profits when the market behaves rationally. It is easy to lose when the market acts irrationally. The object is to generate an income from your options trading account that can be extracted and returned to your bank account to be used as extra income. Or you can leave the profits in your trading account and use the extra capital to trade a larger number of condors to make larger amounts of weekly profit. My new software program is named: SelfAdapINDXWeeklyCndrs which uses 3 Underlying Indices with Weekly Options. I intend to show you how to trade 2 sigma Weekly Condors to obtain Initial Credits of greater than 20% return on your trading capital weekly, yet avoid losses when the big 2 sigma changes occur.
