Harvey Metcalfe, a Polish immigrant to the United States, rises from messenger boy to corporate magnate, combining business skills with little loyalty and much ruthlessness. Over 40 years, he has mastered the shady deal, and by the 1960s is a multi-millionaire.
Taking advantage of a British decision to allow companies to claim North Sea oil drilling rights with little money down, Metcalfe creates Prospecta Oil, a paper company[clarification needed] designed to look good and bring in investors, to be left hanging out to dry when the bottom drops out. Metcalfe's agents hire David Kesler, a Harvard MBA who talks up the company to the four protagonists: Stephen Bradley, an American professor at the University of Oxford; Dr Robin Oakley, a Harley Street doctor; Jean-Pierre Lamanns, a French art dealer with a gallery in London; and James Brigsley, heir to an earldom.

They each buy Prospecta stock and Metcalfe (indirectly) sells out at the top of the market. The stock crashes, and the four are left with major losses.But Metcalfe has cheated the wrong men. Bradley learns of Metcalfe's responsibility; discovering that there is no legal recourse, he organizes the four to steal the money back, using Harvey's interests and weaknesses. All four are to come up with plans, and three quickly do. James, however, is unable to. He is more successful at courting Anne Summerton, an American model.
James instructs the others to execute a complex financial fraud, and flies them to Boston for the wedding as ushers, though not giving formal invitations. They learn who the bride's father is. The wedding cheque from Harvey, plus ransacking Harvey's greenhouses for wedding flowers, reduces the million dollar debt to $1.24, though Stephen sulks on the plane home about the missing money.
They land in London to learn that a new BP oil field has been discovered next to Prospecta Oil's tract, sending Prospecta shares to record highs. They now have the stolen million back, and the shares are worth well over a million. Stephen proposes they figure out how to give the stolen million back.
In 1990 the book was adapted as a four-hour, two-part mini-series, directed by Clive Donner with Ed Asner as Harvey Metcalfe, Ed Begley Jr. as Stephen Bradley, Franois-ric Gendron as Jean-Pierre Lamanns, Brian Protheroe as James Brigsley and Nicholas Jones as Dr. Robin Oakley, and also starring Jenny Agutter and Maryam d'Abo.
Don't get mean, get even.... One million dollars - that's what Harvey Metcalfe, lifelong king of shady deals, has pulled off with empty promises of an oil bonanza and instant riches. Overnight, four men - the heir to an earldom, a Harley Street doctor, a Bond Street art dealer and an Oxford don - find themselves penniless. But this time Harvey has swindled the wrong men. They band together and shadow him from the casinos of Monte Carlo to the high-stakes windows at Ascot and the hallowed lawns of Oxford. Their plan is simple: to sting the crook for exactly what they lost - not a penny more, not a penny less.
Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.
However the results have been so close that the greater benefit has been to show that the panels tested do what they say on the tin (or rather the test certificate), and do so even after a number of years, which provides confidence in solar to customers, installers and funders alike.
The economics of truth is the money on the table. The difference between two Risen and Renesolar 20kW systems after 4 years is less than 0.1% (and yes I know the meters aren't that accurate!). Two Sunpower and JA systems were less than 0.2% different after 1 year. In this case the lower temperature coefficient in the Sunpower panels becomes measurable, increasing the output (compared to JA) when above 25C but reducing it when below 25C.
Inverters are much more efficient than panels so it might be thought unnecessary to examine real behaviour so carefully. In fact the variation in efficiency, due to operating conditions such as DC voltages and sizing ratio, makes the numbers even more significant, and at least as difficult to compare fairly. Besides, panels are priced per Watt, with efficiency already priced in. Here are some 'datasheet' figures for EU efficiency for some 'best in class' inverters:
Of course Solaredge and Enphase offer benefits if there is shading or significant differences between panel powers in a string. But Solaredge also claim significant gain through mismatch of new unshaded panels.
This was also an opportunity to see how far inverters can be undersized, especially with the increase in East-West systems, where the peak power is low. It's long been realised that inverters are less efficient at lower power, justifying undersizing of perhaps 10%. But if the power never or rarely exceeds 75% of the panel power the inverter can be sized accordingly, further improving the viability of solar, which has never looked brighter.
I will frequently add up a range of cells (all dollar amounts that were
typed in manually). When I add those numbers up with the calculator, let's
say they equal $1865.60. Then when I take them and put the same exact
numbers into a Column and do an autosum, the number comes up $1865.60. GREAT!But when I do an =SUM(... and then highlight the cells containing the same
numbers, the total come up $1865.59 (one penny off). Of course, it's not all
the time. But I've noticed a difference sometimes between AutoSum and
manually entering a forumla (usually by just a penny). Why is this happening
and how can I fix this before I loose my mind? Any help would be
appreciated. THANKS!
By "autosum", do you mean you click the AutoSum icon on the standard
toolbar?If so, that's really strange since the AutoSum icon inserts a SUM function
into the cell. It would be the same as the formula you would type.A1 = 5
A2 = 5
A3 = 7
A4 = 3
A5 = 7
A6Select the range A1:A6
Click the AutoSum iconA6 now contains the formula =SUM(A1:A5)It would be no different from you actually typing the formula into A6
manually.What version of Excel are you using?Can you post an example of the numbers where the two methods produce
different results?--

I cannot explain the difference between "autosum" and SUM.But "penny off" errors (more and less) are quite common when using numbers
with decimal fractions. Most such numbers cannot be represented exactly
internally. That leads to all kinds of anomalies. Here's a fun one to try:
=IF(10.1-10=0.1,TRUE). It returns FALSE(!).Nothing really wrong. It's just an issue with binary computer arithmetic
that we all need to deal with. Two common solutions:1. Use ROUND prolifically, but prudently. Use if for most calculations with
dollar-and-cents results. Do not use for some intermediate computations,
notably when computing periodic interest rates and when using them to compute
interest, principal and balance in an amortization schedule, for example. Note: There are good reasons to use ROUND even with such simply
arithmetic operations as =A1-A2. As demonstrated by the 10.1-0.1 example
above, sometimes this can lead to infinitesimal differences that cause
comparision for equality to fail.2. Set the "Precision as displayed" option (PAD) under Tools > Options >
Calculation.I usually deprecate #2 because it is not selective. If you choose to try
it, be sure to make a copy of the Excel file first. Once you set PAD, some
constants might be changed irreversibly. If you decide that was a mistake,
you would have to re-enter the constant. Or return to your back-up copy. ;-)

Although a water molecule has an overall neutral charge, the actual structure of a water molecule makes it a polar molecule (it has a positive end and a negative end). The two hydrogen atoms are slightly positive, and the oxygen atom is slightly negative. A weak link occurs between the negatively charged oxygen atom of one water molecule and the positively charged hydrogen atoms of a neighbouring water molecule. This weak link is called a hydrogen bond. The polarity of the water molecule can also cause it to be attracted to molecules of other polar substances.
The attraction between water molecules is called cohesion. The cohesive force that occurs between water molecules is so strong that, at the water's surface, it creates a "skin", which is known as surface tension. Surface tension is strong enough to support insects that crawl across the water's surface, like water striders (Gerridae).
The attraction of water molecules to other substances, like soil or glass, is called adhesion. As drops of water are added onto a penny, the adhesive force between the water and the penny keeps the water from falling off. 152ee80cbc
