    Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!
           
=================
++ GNP 2017 (Part 01) ++
Question #1: In 1850, there were 150 glaciers found within the Park's boundary area; today there are 25. Some experts believe all of the glaciers will be gone by the year 2030. True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False.

"...Sadly, this idyllic environment may be seriously threatened, as the 150 glaciers the park included in 1850 have shrunk to just 25 in recent years, with many of those remaining diminishing in size on a nearly continuous basis.
    Scentists estimate that the remaining glaciers will all be gone by 2030, a development that will have severe consequences for the entire park."
        [SOURCE: American Heritage -- America's National Parks, July 2016, pp. 74.]

Question #2: Tourists can take a tour with one of the 33 famous Glacier red touring cars. How old is this unique Park touring option?
        A. 25 years, or
        B. 50 years, or
        C. 75 years.

"... 2011 marked the 75th anniversary of the 1936 buses giving tours in Glacier National Park."...
Of the 33 buses on the road today, 17 are from 1936, 11 are from 1937, 4 are from 1938 and 1 is from 1939....
        [SOURCE: Glacier National Park Lodges Red Bus Tours]

Question #3: Both the American and the Canadian sections of the Park are open year round. True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False.

"HOURS: Open all year round, though most visitor facilities are closed from mid-September to late May."

Insomniac-Net ANSWERS -- Friday[36], Sep 08, 2017 [ A - C - B ]
Tonight's Topic: The 3 BIG Ms!
ANSWERS = [ A - C - B ]
Rated: TV-PG
    Good morning/evening, everybody! Thank you for joining us last night.
    We hope you discovered something interesting during the time we spent together on the Insomniac Net last night.
        -- The ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and just plain old LW [K7LWA] (email K7LWA.INS@gmail.com).
    (Please Note: The Net Controller's Answers are always CORRECT (even if they aren't every time!)
    Please check out Winsystem's Insomniac Trivia Net page.
    You can get these Questions & Answers at the Yahoo-groups' Messages Link.

=================
    So, there I was last weekend, kicking back from the Total Solar Eclipse 2017 Tour, quietly sipping the last of the Roadie Mai-Tai stash.
    (Shelley was out visiting and having at a fabulous luncheon with several of her girlfriends.)
    Then suddenly, as I was content-surfing, I paused on the C-SPAN Book TV channel and noticed good ole Tom Friedman had a new book out: Thank You for Being Late.
    I had last listened to one of his books in 2004 -- something about the world becoming flater and flater or some such stuff about globalization going global.
    So what was he on about this time?
    Oh, something about our need to understand that our planet’s three largest forces (the "3 Big Ms") are accelerating all at once!
    So, excitely, we offer for your approval, 3 questions about Friedman's 3 BIG Ms!?
    Please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each of the following question.   
    Good Luck and remember, YOU are always a WINNER with us, regardless of your actual answers!  
    OK, before we start, let's just take a PAUSE -- which is what Friedman thinks we should do before the world accelerates all over us...
=================
++ The 3 BIG Ms! ++
Question #1: Friedman believes that our planet’s three largest accelerating forces are Moore’s law (technology), the Market (globalization), and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loss). True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False.

"His thesis: to understand the twenty-first century, you need to understand that the planet’s three largest forces—Moore’s law (technology), the Market (globalization), and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loss)—are accelerating all at once."
        [SOURCE: Macmillian.com - Thank You for Being Late]

Question #2: He also believes these accelerations are transforming five key personal (and global) areas. What are these areas?
        A. Neighorhood entertainment, social media, group recreation, online selling/shopping, and creative vacationing, or
        B. Self-discovery, self-marketing, self-medication, worldwide web self-presence, and self-cyber-fantasies, or
        C. The workplace, politics, geopolitics, ethics, and community.

"... These accelerations are transforming five key realms: the workplace, politics, geopolitics, ethics, and community."
        [SOURCE: Macmillian.com - Thank You for Being Late]     

Question #3: What has caused this shift? He traces it back to a major Inflection Point year when the the iPhone was launched, Facebook and Twitter went global, Kindle and Android were released, Google bought YouTube, and fracking began. What year was that?
        A. 2001, or
        B. 2007, or
        C. 2011.

    "When he began researching his latest book, best-selling author Thomas Friedman started noticing something about the year 2007.
    Most notably, it was the year Apple launched the iPhone, and most notoriously, the year before the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression.
    Also in 2007, Facebook and Twitter went global; Kindle and Android were released; Airbnb was founded; Google bought YouTube; IBM created its artificial intelligence system Watson, and fracking began, Friedman noted in an interview on CNBC's Squawk Box."
        [SOURCE: CNBC.COM_Your world changed forever in 2007]

       
=================
++ QUOTE OF THE DAY ++   --  Thomas L. Friedman, Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to Thriving in the Age of Accelerations

    “Marie Curie never rang more true to me or felt more relevant: 'Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.'”
    “Indeed, as the world becomes more interdependent and complex, it becomes more vital than ever to widen your aperture and to synthesize more perspectives."
    "LinkedIn was barely known and most people thought it was a prison...."
