birthday present

The ‘birthday present’ is shorthand, used to describe a particular song that carries certain notoriety for an artist or group. This song has come to define the band/artist, regardless of its age, quality or potential embarrassment. When performing live, this particular track is virtually expected; failure to perform the number will lead to grave disappointment or even bitterness from the crowd.

The ‘birthday present’ obtains its name through its special gift-like quality that, if not received, tends to cause resentment.

If Led Zeppelin came to town they’d just *have* to performStairway to Heaven’, it’s their birthday present!

Michael Bay Presentation

A project being presented that has very little substance and instead focuses on flash, glitz and glamor. Typically, these types of presentations will only be pleasing to those who are incredibly small minded and easily impressed.

Bill: man, did you Ricky's project.

Me: Yeah, I was there, dude.

Bill: Right, right. Wasn't it awesome?

Me: The hell are you talking about? He said nothing about what happens when an atom splits.

Bill: Yeah, but his poster spewed fired.

Me: Who gives a fuck? It was a total Michael Bay Presentation.

net present value

Money has a time value, net present value is future cashflows brought back to today's value against a discount factor (11% is standard), minus the initial investment. If the net present value of cumulative cashflows is positive, then the project should be accepted, unless a more profitable investment is also availiable.

To calculate the NPV of an investment, one must know the discount factor, cost of investment and expected incomes (based off accurate data)
