In the best case he would make a lot of money. If that happened he could finally retire and enjoy a comfortable life. On the other hand, in the worst case, his investments could result in a huge loss. If that happened, he wouldn't be able to enjoy his retirement. He wouldn't be able to travel or do any of the things he has dreamed about doing.

One thing Walter is considering is to sell his shares in the company. He could begin to sell a little at a time and?reinvest?the money somewhere else. But where would he invest? He doesn't know much about investing, and several of his friends have lost a lot by making bad investments.

Only two people in the company were authorized to have the code. To improve security, John changes the code every month. He had the code of course, and so did his assistant, Sylvia.

A number of scientists are emphasizing the tremendous challenges that will soon be faced when the depletion of fossil fuel supplies coincides with an alarming increase in the global population. They highlight agriculture which is heavily dependent not only on gasoline to fuel machinery, but also on the petrochemicals necessary to manufacture synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Without these petrochemicals, crop yields would be only a fraction of what they are today.?

Experts may not be able to come up with the kind of solution that can lead to a pain-free transition. Scientists warn that relying on alternative resources might only support half of the global population. The absence of realistic alternative to fossil fuels will mean that the?first priority will be to curb the demand for food.

Then there is the challenge posed to the current levels of mobility. As a fuel, gasoline is unrivalled in its portability. Electricity requires bulky batteries and hydrogen is notoriously difficult to store. Biofuels might seem like an alternative, but the energy consumed when converting corn into bioethanol, for instance, greatly exceeds the output when the fuel is utilized. In any case, once we reach a crisis in the food supply, it will not make sense to divert food crops to other uses.

In 1937 she?fled?from her country and secretly moved to Hollywood, where she?reinvented?herself. She changed her name to Hedy Lamarr, with the nick name 'the most beautiful woman in films'. However, Lamarr?defied?the leading-lady stereotype by also?pursuing?an interest in mathematics and engineering. She soon took?up?inventing. Her earliest inventions included an?improved?traffic stoplight and a tablet that would?dissolve?in water to create a carbonated drink.
