And finally, you must think we know finance, as we have to try balance a $230,000 loan while making $50,000 at age 30. Now imagine, if you would, having $230,00 dollars in debt with two young children at age 30 and listening to the news with lawmakers saying that doctors are ârichâ and should have their pay cut.Or that âstudies show that doctors lack empathy.â. Unfortunately, we physicians do not have much of a voice on Capitol Hill.nd finally, you must think we know finance, as we have to try balance a $230,000 loan while making $50,000 at age 30.

The first dynamic demonstration that the Earth rotates was the Foucault pendulum. As the Earth rotates the inertia of a pendulum keeps it in as close to the same plane as it can. This is a consequence of Newton's Laws of Motion.
The Earth rotates (spins) counter-clockwise as viewed from above the North Pole, which is also from above the ecliptic plane of the solar system. This is the arbitrary up and down convention that allows us to say which direction the Earth is spinning. Most other objects in the solar system spin and orbit counter-clockwise as well. Depending on your location on the planet, the Earth's spin (west to east) could be seen as clockwise or counter-clockwise. In the Northern Hemisphere, looking south toward the equator, the Earth turns counter-clockwise.
