The digit zero plays a very important role as you count very large numbers. It helps track these multiples of 10 because the larger the number is, the more zeroes are needed.
In the below table, the first column lists the name of the number, the second provides the number of zeros that follow the initial digit, while the third tells you how many groups of three zeros you would need to write out each number.
Name Number of Zeros Groups of (3) Zeros
Ten 1 (10)
Hundred 2 (100)
Thousand 3 1 (1,000)
Ten thousand 4 (10,000)
Hundred thousand 5 (100,000)
Million 6 2 (1,000,000)
Billion 9 3 (1,000,000,000)
Trillion 12 4 (1,000,000,000,000)
Quadrillion 15 5
Quintillion 18 6
Sextillion 21 7
Septillion 24 8
Octillion 27 9
Nonillion 30 10
Decillion 33 11
Undecillion 36 12
Duodecillion 39 13
Tredecillion 42 14
Quatttuor-decillion 45 15
Quindecillion 48 16

Septen-decillion 54 18
Octodecillion 57 19
Novemdecillion 60 20
Vigintillion 63 21
Centillion 303 101
All of Those Zeros
A table, as the one above, can certainly be helpful in listing the names of all of the subsequent numbers depending on how many zeros they have. But it can be really mind-boggling to see just what some of those numbers look like.

Whopping $360M worth of cocaine seized by Coast Guard in Eastern Pacific
Source: New York Daily News | Mar 22, 2019 | 12:39 PM
The United States Coast Guard on Friday offloaded 27,000 pounds of cocaine worth about $360 million in Miami Beach after intercepting 12 vessels suspected of smuggling drugs through the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
The massive cocaine load was confiscated off the coasts of Mexico and other countries in Central and South America.
The operations took place from January to March, Vice Admiral Daniel Abel, the U.S. Coast Guard deputy commandant for operations, said in a news conference Friday morning.
Abel thanked several law enforcement agencies, including international ones, for coming together to seize the drug “in bulk form.”

Hope not to see Mueller report go this way ...
Fitzgerald was appointed as a special prosecutor in late 2003 to investigate the July 2003 leak of Plame’s identity, which came during a White House effort to discredit her husband, former U.S. Ambassador Joe Wilson.

What Would a Socialist America Look Like?
The real question is ... who owns America? The corporations or the rest of the 99% that make up all Americans
Peter Gowan is a fellow with the progressive nonprofit the Democracy Collaborative.
A democratically elected government should own natural monopolies such as utilities and rail transport; provide social services like health care, education, housing, child care and banking; and create a general welfare state that eliminates poverty through guaranteeing a minimum income, with assistance for people with disabilities, the elderly and families with children.
But we have to go beyond that. We need measures to establish democratic ownership over the wider economy, and eliminate our dependence on industries that rely on pollution and war for their existence. There need to be strategies to allow workers in the defense, aerospace and fossil fuel industries to repurpose their facilities for more socially useful production, drawing on the example of the Lucas Plan in Britain, where workers designed and published a viable “alternative corporate plan” that included funding for renewable energy, public transport and medical technology. We need a mechanism to transfer corporate equity into sector-oriented social wealth funds controlled by diverse and accountable stakeholders, which would gradually transfer ownership away from unaccountable elites and toward inclusive institutions

Mathematics top prize awarded to a woman for first time
Source: New York Daily News | Mar 19, 2019 | 4:09 PM
A professor from the University of Texas at Austin has become the first woman ever to win one of the most prestigious prizes in mathematics.
The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters on Tuesday named Karen Uhlenbeck the recipient of its 2019 Able Prize. The international award, modeled after the Nobel Prize, is given to those who have made significant impacts in their fields and comes with a cash prize of Norwegian kroner worth about $700,000.
Uhlenbeck was cited for “her pioneering achievements in geometric partial differential equations, gauge theory and interchangeable systems, and for the fundamental impact of her work on analysis, geometry and mathematical physics.”
While the 76-year-old award-winner is best known for her work in the geometry field, she has also touched on physics and the quantum theory over the course of her decades-long career.

New slogan: "Be Wise" ... don't laugh

&list=RD0n3OepDn5GU&index=1Wake up ... college pay to play
For most of older folks we have always know that elite colleges had a set aside percentage for the legacy, the famous and the rich folks. Not fair you say? Well just an example of how the 1% keep their 1%. We knew it then. Now it is blowing up in their faces and we all act like the rot is new. No it is not new, just newly exposed. Back in the day it was nearly impossible to get into an Ivy if you were a catholic, from middle class or less, or person of color. .. Forget being a woman.
repubs let trump on the stage for debates
therefore they approved of him, never vetted him. I was wondering how many lawsuits the repub party will be party to?? ... his cruel and unusual treatment of immigrants at the border. So much more ... "Break the Law, Break the Jaw"
