I need to get my handlebar replaced. I bought all the parts (e.g., handlebar, cables, etc), but keep the local shop quoted me $250 for the install.
Got a guy down here in Vineland that'll do it for 100, but honestly 3 youtube videos and a peptalk and you should be able to get that done yourself in an afternoon.
Thanks for the prompt response. I am not opposed to doing it myself at all. I have been, however, looking for videos or DIY's posts and cannot find anything.

Noninvasive and nonsurgical, Clear + Brilliant lets you get right back to things. What’s more, it’s budget-friendly. Safe for all skin types and tones, Clear + Brilliant works best on younger patients who want to be proactive in controlling signs of aging. That’s because it encourages new collagen growth, which boosts skin tone, smooths texture, and shrinks pores.
A Clear + Brilliant treatment takes about 30 minutes. Forty minutes before it begins, you’ll have a numbing agent applied to your face. This is removed right before treatment. The laser session itself lasts only 10 minutes. During it you may feel a warm tingling or prickling sensation. You’ll likely experience no discomfort.
A patented intelligent Optimal Tracking System ensures that the laser covers the treated area uniformly. Directly after a Clear + Brilliant treatment, a cooling face mask is placed on the treated area for 10 to 15 minutes to reduce any lingering feeling of heat.Most clients need little to no recovery time following a Clear + Brilliant procedure. But you may experience slight redness and swelling, as well as mild discomfort. These may last up to 12 hours after your treatment.
Your recovery can be sped along by avoiding direct sunlight for two days following treatment and wearing a sunblock whose SPF is 30 or higher. Potential side effects of Clear + Brilliant may include prolonged swelling, redness, scarring, blistering, hyperpigmentation, infection, and herpes flare-ups. It’s important that you discuss your medical history with a specialist before undergoing Clear + Brilliant treatments.
Clear + Brilliant is a noninvasive dioxide laser that refreshes your skin from the inside out. It requires little recovery time, and the risk of complications is low. Any post-procedural swelling and redness disappear after a day or two. The treated area might also feel rough, but this goes away after five days.
1440-nanometer wavelength laser, which reduces pore size, diminishes fine lines, and improves skin texture.
1927-nanometer wavelength laser, which treats such pigmentation issues as melisma, sun spots, and other types of sun damage.
Clear + Brilliant creates millions of microscopic treatment zones, replacing damaged skin with healthy, younger-looking tissue. The result is a youthful glow. A single Clear + Brilliant treatment improves skin appearance. And the improvement continues with additional procedures. Your Clear + Brilliant glow you should maintain with touch-up treatments a few times a year.

Insurance contracts require policy holders to accord by the latin principle of “uberrima fides”, otherwise known as the utmost good faith, when dealing with their insurer.
Such a principle provides fertile ground for an insured to fall into dispute with his insurer. We have genuine depth of expertise in the field of insurance law.
Our expertise enables us effectively to represent claimants against insurance companies, whether due to a refusal by the insurer to accept liability, an attempt at policy avoidance or a dispute over the amount of a claim.
The wording of insurance policies can also be complex, in particular containing provisions in different sections that can be difficult to reconcile. We are experienced in considering policies and advising on their true meaning and effect.
The experience we have also enables us to assist with the consequences of delayed settlement of insurance claims with creditors which can create other commercial problems, including insolvency.
In addition, we have developed considerable experience in disputes between parties who work in the insurance industry itself.
Examples of such disputes may be where problems arise from delegated authority to write insurance policies or the accounting for policy premiums in such cases.

Awardees, Sponsors, Ladies & Gentlemen; I would like to welcome you all here this evening to our Annual Honours and Awards Ceremony which is conducted to acknowledge and encourage excellence for those training for careers in Instrumentation, Systems and Automation, and also to express our thanks and recognition to those who have led the way in the pursuit of their careers in those fields.
Education & Training continues to be a Cradle to Grave concept, and one which ISA embraces from its founding ethos. Access to education is not freely available across the whole of this world. Therefore one cannot over emphasise the value of education and on which I truly believe has always rested the future of mankind.
Being educated places a large responsibility on one to pass on the knowledge gleaned to others during our life journey. However the full appreciation of this gift only becomes more apparent towards the end of ones life. In that process the role of educator oscillates between our parents, school teachers, sporting and social leaders, college lecturers and work place mentors to varying degrees as we evolve through life with the resulting impression that we are at once and always both educator and student.
I am honoured to be here in my capacity as President of ISA Ireland Section and to present the awards which represent a tremendous achievement for the recipients and especially to be so honoured in the presence of their mentors and their peers.
To conclude I would like to pay a special word of thanks to our organising committee, to the judging panel, the participating colleges and finally to UCC for allowing us to use this very historic “Common Room” this evening.
Thank you all for attending and supporting this auspicious function. I hope you all have a very relaxed and enjoyable evening as we celebrate excellence in our industry.
Recipient: Mr. Eoghan Geary, Ballyduff, Co. Waterford.
Nominated by: Mr. Jim Doyle, Lecturer, Institute of Technology Carlow.
Eoghan served his apprenticeship as an Instrumentation/ Electrical craftsperson with Dornan Engineering, Little Island, Co. Cork. From August 2007 to-date he has completed phase 2/4/6 in Cork FAS and Carlow Institute of Technology. From day one his attitude and commitment was exceptional.
The Electrical/ Instrumentation phase 6 class (March – June 2010) were an exceptionally good group of apprentices. However Eoghan stood out from the rest, for his very good class work, attention to detail and leadership qualities in the class. His individual results in each topic were the highest in a very competitive group and for this I would have no hesitation in nominating him for the award.
Recipient: Mr. Gary O’Halloran, Mallow, Co. Cork.
Nominated by: Dr. Liam McDonnell. Head, Department of Applied Physics & Instrumentation, Cork Institute of Technology.
Gary O’Halloran commenced third-level education studies as a part time evening student at Cork institute of Technology and successfully completed the higher certificate in Science in Industrial Measurement and Control in June 2008 whilst working for a local pharmaceutical manufacturer.
On that course Gary was a grade A student obtaining the maximum GPA of 4.0 and a classification of Pass with Distinction. Gary then continued his studies as a part time evening student on the BSc in Applied Physics and Instrumentation in June 2009 with a classification of Pass with Distinction. Gary’s overall mark was 89.4%and he was the top student in his class.
Gary’s academic ability is demonstrated by his results which show marks in the range 76-98% with eight marks in the range 90-98% in process automation and SCADA.
As Gary had considerable industrial experience already, he carried out an in-house project instead of the industrial placement. The aim of this project was to utilise the Tec equipment CE2000 software to develop programs that could be used to elucidate the concept of PID control for second and third year students. I was present at Gary’s presentation of his work and I was particularly impressed at the thoroughness of his work, the quality of his report and the excellent communication skills that he demonstrated.
Gary is a diligent, responsible and ambitious student who is now studying on the BSc Honours in Applied Physics and Instrumentation course at Cork Institute of technology. I have no doubt that he will be as successful in that course as he was on his BSc in Applied Physics and Instrumentation course. Gary is nominated for the ISA Degree Award for his tremendous academic achievement at degree level and the wonderful example that he has set for other students, whether part-time of full-time.
Recipient: Ms. Nichola Walsh, Christchurch, Dublin 8.
It is the wish of the staff of the School of Physical Sciences in DCU to nominate Ms. Nichola Walsh (who recently graduated from the B.Sc. (Hons.) in Applied Physics Degree programme. Primarily for her outstanding fourth year project entitled “Psycho acoustic Delay Generator ”, which we feel is an excellent example of the application of physics to an important problem in a domain not normally regarded as “core physics” demonstrating the breadth of skills and potential contribution of applied physics graduates.
Nichola had to utilize her core physics knowledge and abilities while learning how to deal with the necessities of a new application area (including challenges such as ethical approval issues, for tests on human volunteers) and she dealt with all these issues with great professionalism. Furthermore, the project developed instrumentation for the quantification and analysis of a challenging issue in the domain of psychoacoustics which puts it squarely in the domain of the ISA in our opinion. For both these reasons we feel that Ms. Walsh should be considered for the Honours Degree award of the ISA – Ireland Section. We also note that Nichola’s project has been awarded the Fryar medal from DCU for the outstanding final year project across all physics degree programs.
Non-organic hearing loss is the term used to describe the deliberate exaggeration of hearing loss. One method which may be used to test for fraudulent claims of this nature is by means of a psycho acoustic delay. Varying the time delay between speech production and audio playback produces varying degrees of speech interference effects.
The aim of the project was to construct a device to delay speech which could be used to locate the time delay corresponding to the maximum interference of fluent speech. . Initially a programmable dsPIC microcontroller was implemented as the method by which to delay speech but a more suitable alternative solution was judged necessary based on initial trials. Therefore a program was created using LabView to implement the audio delay and a speech analysis software package used for subsequent recording and analysing of the recorded data. A subject study of 28 volunteers was carried out and the time delay resulting in maximum interference of fluent speech was found to be 200ms.
An analysis of disfluency levels, reading rates and intensity variations were carried out. Age and gender assessments were performed under delayed feedback conditions. No significant dissimilarities were found in disfluencies occurring for different age groups. Notable disparities were observed between males and females which were theorised to be caused by the variations in intensity detected. Reading rates for all subjects tested were found to decrease under delay conditions.
A full technical project report (74 pages) was submitted at the end of semester 2, in addition to a presentation and a literature survey. Both of these were submitted for this award.
In addition to Nichola’s fourth year project, we also summaries the relevant aspects of her overall academic performance, which included results between 72% and 80% in six subjects in her fourth year. Resulting in a final degree classification 1st class Honours (H1).
The contributions for which the above named nominee should be recognised are: Thesis on: Portable Spectrometer System for Characterising the Optical Properties of Water. Thorough analysis of the technical requirements at the component level to construct a cost effective spectral reflectometer system for non-contact water optical property determination.
Complete re-analysis of optical technology options back to first principles ending with a system combination of off-the-shelf components meeting measurement objectives at a fraction of the cost of previous prototypes.
Development of ultra-sensitive signal integration processes using multiple frame analog video capture. Thorough re-evaluation of the underlying radiative transfer processes which describe the science behind the detection of optically distinctive constituents in water bodies; leading to an integrated system capable of non-contact and fouling free estimation of water constituent concentrations. Instrument concept ‘know-how’ now incorporated into a license agreement between UCD and Spectral Signatures Ltd. Ciaran has three papers under preparation for publication on theoretical and validation aspects of the study.
The European Science Foundation’s number one recommendation on the remote sensing of coastal environments is to enhance the quality and quantity of the basic ecosystem parameters retrieved from optical measurements. Satellite remote sensing in these areas provides insufficient results due to the influence of the sea bed on the remotely sensed light, the variation in the depth of the water and the high concentration of constituents entering the water from the land.
This thesis details the development of an in-situ active portable spectrometry system capable of sampling across the whole visible spectrum at spectral resolutions down to a few nano meters for remote sensing of the optical properties of water. This submersible system also provides the capability of monitoring the optical properties within the water column by giving a profiling capability.
A computationally light weight Radiative Transfer Model (RTM) based on Chandrasekhar’s solution to the radiative transfer equation in planetary atmospheres has been developed for water application. This model is shown to provide estimates of basic ecosystem parameters in waters of varying depth with a lambertian reflecting bottom. The RTM model has been adapted to the spectral resolution of the instrument and comparisons between model and instrument system measurements for a number of constituent scenarios are described.
These include water samples containing varying levels of chlorophyll-a and scattering particulates and observation modes involving water layers of varying depth and of varying thickness.
By minimising the difference between model predictions and corresponding measurements, constituent concentrations have been estimated and compared with independent concentration measurements. Producing correlation coefficients better than 0.96 in all cases. This simple RTM, incorporated into minimisation based inversion method, can be applied to real measurements to estimate constituent levels in waters of varying depths and has applications in remote sensing and profiling of open ocean and coastal waters.
With Eli Lilly in the early 1980’s Peter supported the introduction of computer automation to the Kinsale site. In its time this was a major advance in manufacturing thinking. Kinsale was one of the first Lilly bulk manufacturing plants to be automated. Continuous control and sequential operations were for the first time built and coded into a computer processor unit and through human machine interfaces were manipulated by operations personnel. The plant witnessed in turn the power of faultless repetition of processing tasks which was to become the foundation of manufacturing excellence. Peter was to the fore in introducing, troubleshooting, integration and management of this early automation system.
In the mid 1980’s the automation system was upgraded to Distributive Control System (DCS). Peter was the driving force behind this change which led to an explosion of use in control systems across the site. Peter continued to be the key resource to introduce and shake down this new technology and through his exploitation of fiber optic technology to knit these systems together into a process automation network for the site. Peter supported the drive and desire to automate processes which in turn improved productivity and raised throughput.
Also in the late1980’s Peter developed and introduced an on-line Ozone detection system for use in a production process. This was a first for Lilly and ultimately enabled a continuous process to be set up which would have been unthinkable without this technology. This was replicated at other plant sites. It was in effect one of the first processes to have an online process analytical technology (PAT) solution.
The site in the early 1990’s became increasingly interested in lowering the quantity of volatile organic material released from site manufacturing operations and embarked on a project to install one of the first regenerative thermal oxidizers for this purpose. Critical measurement of % volatile organics for the safe operation of this system was designed and installed by Peter utilising an online / real-time infrared detection system which is still the basis of operation and safety to this day. This combined with a safety instrumented explosion suppression system and a calorimetric gas analyzer has also been in operation with this duct and thermal oxidizer unit since start-up. Peter has expanded this fume capture system to cater for the addition of new manufacturing facilities and the basic design concept has been robust and enduring over its service life and has been able to cater for these changes.
Peter was requested to install online incinerator stack gas analyzers to measure residual carbon monoxide, chloride and hydrocarbon content of stack gases. Peter sourced, installed and commissioned this new array of process analytical technologies to assist site operations to be ready for the emerging European legislation which would govern the operation of incineration plant. Peter has maintained and upgraded this equipment over the years and has formed a contract with the German National Air Monitoring board for periodic calibration and certification of this vital compliance equipment.
Peter has combined this measuring capability with a recognized data analysis capability (plc based) to continuously analyze and predict on a real time basis incinerator performance and ensure that hourly and daily expectations with respect to stack gas emissions are met. This combined system is programmed to interrupt incineration operations automatically and remove the permissive for a restart until a sufficient interval has elapsed to restore the site to a compliant footing for a given time interval.
Increasing expectations around continuous monitoring of liquid effluent and gaseous emissions led Peter to introduce incinerator stack gas particle analysers and continuous hydrocarbon monitors for ground water flowing from the site. Peter was responsible for the design and introduction of the burner safety management systems for the incinerators both liquid, solid and fume that have been introduced to the site down through the years.

I’d been travelling from Colorado back home to Texas, in a rental car. The Toyota RAV4 has this cool feature that allows you to set your speed and which automatically slows you down (using radar somehow) if you get too close to another vehicle. I’d been using this almost exclusively for the entire trip at the posted speeds so I could avoid the accidental speeding that almost everyone does.
So, the shorter version is that I got a ticket for going 93 mph even though my cruise control was set at 75 mph! That is an 18 mph error! Just to be clear, I paid the ticket because driving 5 hours back to court to contest the ticket is not happening; not because I was guilty.
At the time I do not recall any car whizzing past me, so I feel pretty sure that the officer did not mistake my vehicle for another similar car (although mine was a plain white SUV, very common).
I’d been using this cruise control for over 16 hours of driving, and always with the flow of traffic, generally the same speed, only rarely passing, but always under the limit. I’d had a couple of occasions of driving around highway patrol, without any notice. That does not prove the accuracy of the cruise control, but there is no way the cruise control was off by 18 mph!
A Theory: There are lots of reasons for a radar to provide erroneous readings, but I wondered if the RAV4 collision avoidance radar might have been interfering with the accuracy of the police radar. Radar uses the echo of a “ping” (output radio wave pulse) to determine speed. If my car is also actively pinging for my collision avoidance, I wonder if that impacts the timing and result of the officer’s speed radar. I assume there is some encoding to prevent this kind of thing, but I only mention my theory in case someone has come across a similar experience.
I do support the Blue, I want to believe this was an error of equipment or training, not abuse of public trust. So, even if this is an honest error, it was an expensive error for me. A speed trap is still a trap whether intentional or not.

After a few weeks of loving my shoes and clothes / posting about how much I love these things (but blocking the logo out) I am so so so excited to finally announce that ZAP will now be representing On!
Okay so who/what is On??
On is a Swiss sports brand. They are focused on performance athletics as well as an active outdoor lifestyle.
Fun fact: On is the fastest growing shoe company in the United States.
On sponsors two teams in the United states: Mammoth Track Club and ZAP.
What separates On from different shoe brands?
On uses a technology called Cloud technology (CloudTec). The round pockets you see in the bottom of the shoes are called clouds.
You can read more in depth about the technology here. It is incredibly fascinating and worth the read/watch.
In a very short and fast summary, the Cloud technology offers cushioning when your foot strikes the ground as well as an explosive takeoff when that foot lifts back up.
Fun fact: one of the inventors of cloud technology first tried out his idea of a cushioned shoe with an explosive takeoff by taking a garden hose, cutting it up, and gluing those pieces of garden hose to the bottom of his shoe.
I will admit, I was extremely hesitant to try these shoes. On shoes look much different than the shoes I was used to running in, and I figured they would feel too strange to actually train in.
This was not the case! I put a pair of the Cloudflows on and cranked out 10 miles with no issues. Honestly, I actually felt like the shoe had more cushion and response than I had received with any other brand of running shoe.
I could feel the cushioning as I landed, as well as a nice bounce back as I was moving into my next stride. I was sold. Not only did the shoes look cool, they were so much different from what I was used to in the best way possible.
This was a definite don’t judge a book by it’s cover situation.
Okay so their stuff is obviously cool, but that’s not the only reason I love them.
As someone that worked in running retail for a couple of years, I appreciate this effort. In my opinion, there was nothing more irritating than offering someone a full fitting and then hearing that they were going to buy the shoe online.
With that being said I completely understood why customers would do that. They knew the shoes fit, they liked the shoes, and they could find the shoes cheaper online.
Running retail creates a relationship between customer and seller. Not only that, most running retail stores create a community by offering group runs (or meet ups).
In my opinion, these are things that are incredibly important to the running community. Running is always more enjoyable with company, and these meet ups provide an incredible opportunity to meet and make friends with a new group of people.
I’m looking forward to getting to know the brand more. I absolutely love their message. It’s clear that they are a brand focused on performance, community, and quality.
You can tell that everything they do is well thought out. Everything from their social media to their products show that they are a company that isn’t just going to do something for the sake of doing it.
For example, I have known I was going to be with On for about a month now. However, I wasn’t allowed to announce until created a press release that all of the appropriate members of the company agreed on.
You could tell there was time and effort put into the release, and even though both sides were extremely excited to announce this news, nothing was going to be released until it was absolutely perfect.
Cloudflow – On’s neutral and cushioned shoe. I have a narrow foot so these fit me perfectly. If you’re looking for a little more room in the toe box area, try the Cloudflyer.
Training shirts – Breathable and light! I wore a gray long sleeve and minimal sweat was showing. What’s not to love about that??
Cloud – The casual/fashion shoe! Not going to lie, I feel really cool when I wear these. Mine are the Coral & Pacific color option.
Weather Jacket – the most comfortable and fashionable jacket I have ever worn. I mean how does a company create a weather jacket that is actually flattering??
Weather Shirt – Love love love this! It’s a half zip top BUT the zip goes to the side of the neck instead of up and down. That was a horrible description, but I’m wearing it in the picture at the start of this post (or just click here to see what I’m taking about)! I’m not cool enough to pull off 90% of their clothes but I’m going to try.
Cloud Flash – I raced the Houston Half in these this past Sunday! I was super excited about this because A) they are gorgeous and B) they are a perfect weight for a half marathon racing shoe. I prefer a lighter shoe, and so I will be racing Boston in these as well. If you want a little extra cushion in your racing flats I would suggest the Cloudrush.
Every pair of On shoes comes with an Owner card. This card contains an owner ID to register at www.runonclouds.com. How cool is that???
This week ZAP will have a new logo! We will also be rebranded from ZAP Fitness to ZAP Endurance. Be On (get it?!?) the lookout for it! I’m excited to see it. I’ll share it with you guys via Instagram!

I used a 72% dark chocolate and it could use a bit more than 2 tablespoons sugar, I would say 3-4, but if you use the 60% cacao the recipe below should be fine.
Before serving, whisk remaining 1/4 cup cream in a small bowl until soft peaks form; dollop over mousse. Top with chocolate shavings and crushed roasted hazelnuts.
Preheat oven to 350°. Place hazelnuts in a single layer on baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven and wrap hazelnuts in a towel, allow to sit for 10 minutes or so, then rub and shake off loose skins. To crush I generally place them in a ziplock bag and crush them with a meat pounder.

One of the main problems with energy efficiency of new railway rolling stock is the lack of information available for the engineers specifying and developing new trains and the actual testing and verification of the energy performance at delivery. For more than ten years leading companies acknowledged this missing link which corresponds to the EURO norms existing for road vehicles.
Now a standard has been produced, the UIC/UNIFE TecRec 100_001, but since it came to the market in March 2010 the railway operators and manufacturers still have trouble applying the principles and thereby prevent themselves from getting the true value out of it.
Macroplan is the co-author of the UIC/UNIFE TecRec 100_001 and knows the standard in detail. This means that we can teach and assist you to apply the standard correctly and thereby maximizing your benefit for your rolling stock – no matter if you are an operator looking to buy or lease new rolling stock or as manufacturer trying to spark your green innovations and promote your products in the best way.
Macroplan cooperates with Emkamatik (Switzerland) on this issue to bring you the best and most precise energy analyses.

Presentation to the Council meeting 27th November By the Baldock Society | SAVE RURAL BALDOCK	Baldock residents’ campaign group to save rural farmland and fields in historic Hertfordshire market town from mass urban housing development.
Baldock Society chairman, Chris Gomm, gave a presentation at the meeting on the 27th November.
1. Dear Madam Chairman, Councillors, Ladies and Gentlemen, First of all we would like to thank the Council for allowing us to address you today.
2. The Baldock Society was formed in the 1970’s as a Civic Society and has been in regular correspondence with NHDC for over 40 years. We are not a newly formed group and this is the first time we have felt it necessary to address the Full Council, such is the strength of feeling within our Membership.
i. First, there is nothing in the papers before you that assesses the feasibility of the major sites at Baldock – or indeed elsewhere – in transport terms. Just saying that a transport assessment is required, as most of the site assessments do, simply isn’t good enough. We don’t think the proposals for Baldock would be workable in transport terms, even with a second railway crossing. The draft plan itself acknowledges that a second crossing would take only “some” of the traffic from this new development away from Station Road and the historic centre.
ii. Second, because the right work hasn’t been done, the papers fail to show that the proposals would be deliverable over the life of the plan. This is a serious failing and means the proposals would not stand up at examination.
iii. Third, we question the justification for the spatial choices that have been made, and in particular the omission of Stevenage West as a housing site. Most of the district is part of one housing market area – as your own evidence shows – so we need to get away from the false distinction between North Hertfordshire and Stevenage needs. Development on the scale proposed at Baldock would not be in a central location to meet those needs. We should not be sacrificing the future of Baldock simply to delay development around Stevenage.
iv. Finally, it goes without saying that these proposals would be hugely damaging to the character of Baldock, in terms of traffic, landscape and heritage impacts, and the social fabric of the town. For example, there has always been a single secondary school in Baldock which has served the town and surrounding villages over the last 75 years. It has acted as a unifying force, especially after the building of the Clothall Common estate when the single school helped to assimilate this new development into the life of the town. A new school serving a major urban extension on the edge of Baldock would change that dynamic considerably, and make it harder to integrate such large-scale growth in the same way.
4. Overall, our view is that these proposals are not simply unjust, but unjustified, and we object to them in the strongest possible terms.
5. We are not opposed to new development, but we do object to proposals that are poorly thought-through, which lack any sense of vision, and on which the Council has failed to engage effectively with local people. Despite the thousands of pages of supporting material, you do not have the evidence to show that they are the right solution for the district, or even deliverable. Put simply, they do not provide the basis for a sound plan, so we respectfully ask that you do not approve the proposals for consultation this evening.

Addison Wesley, 7th Edition: 2000. Mankiw's style is extremely clear and he does a much better job than other text books in making the conceptual both easily understood and quickly applied to the larger job of economic theory as a whole. In fact, much analysis is devoted to cases where lead to that is suboptimal and creates. When will a firm decide to expand, downsize, or even close? Alternatively, oligopolies can be fiercely competitive and engage in flamboyant advertising campaigns. Writing style of this book is textbook type and sometime you do think that this is a textbook, but the transition of chapters from one topic to another is really smooth and sometimes you won't even notice. Intermediate Microeconomics: A Modern Approach.
Applications include a wide array of economic phenomena and approaches, such as , , pricing, , , oligopolies, formation, , , , and , and across such broad areas as , , information economics, , and. Mankiw's Principles of Economics textbooks continue to be the most popular and widely used text in the economics classroom. The utility maximization problem is a problem in which an individual seeks to maximize utility subject to a. This can diverge from the goal of maximizing because it does not consider the distribution of goods between people. The macroeconomic perspective looks at the economy as a whole, focusing on goals like growth in the standard of living, unemployment, and inflation. Still, I haven't found a Micro book I like--they're either so steeped in Math that the connection to applications are obscure, or so reluctant to encounter Math that you don't learn what you should. It includes all of the materials you will need to understand the concepts covered in this subject.
Glossary fiscal policy economic policies that involve government spending and taxes macroeconomics the branch of economics that focuses on broad issues such as growth, unemployment, inflation, and trade balance. The opportunity cost of eating waffles is sacrificing the chance to eat chocolate. . In turn, the performance of the macroeconomy ultimately depends on the microeconomic decisions made by individual households and businesses. Mateer and Coppock firmly believe that helping students see how their lives are affected by economics is critical to effective teaching. Collected Papers of Kenneth J. This is a pretty readable book covering a lot of the major topics, but I still didn't particularly enjoy it because it is intended to be a first-year course in Microeconomics and seems to leave out any Calculus-based analysis and many other topics that I consider to be core Microeconomic concepts like production and labor, and more elaborate studies in Game Theory.
About This Product Give your students an approachable introduction to economics that allows all types of students to quickly grasp economic concepts and build a strong foundation. This engaging, interactive course takes students through all the main microeconomics topics. Donate it and you'll support us. I suppose such a course is acceptable for students who cannot handle difficult subjects, like business majors. The cost of something is what you give up to get it. Where appropriate, equations are provided throughout the text.
So if it's been a few years or ahem, ten since you've done algebra or calculus, get yourself a companion guide. What causes the economy to speed up or slow down? Rational people think at the margin. They include real-world examples throughout the text's key features: Practice What You Know; Economics in the Real World; Economics in the Media; and Economics for Life. Frequently used elasticities include , , , elasticity of substitution or constant elasticity of substitution between and. It is a way of analyzing how consumers may achieve between preferences and expenditures by maximizing subject to consumer. Society faces a short-run trade off between inflation and unemployment. Producer Dynamics: New Evidence from Micro Data.
It has explained the concepts with plenty of real-life situations, examples--easy to relate--which helps and make it more easy to read. This book deserves a review and 5 star rating because, while it's still just a general economic concept text book, it does its job incredibly well. Governments can sometimes improve market outcomes. Prices rise when the government prints too much money. Microeconomic Theory: Basic Principles and Extensions.
Precise economics in exactly the right amount of detail Every graph in the text and in Smartwork5 uses colors in a consistent manner to help students easily identify common elements. Market failure in positive economics microeconomics is limited in implications without mixing the belief of the economist and their theory. This course introduces microeconomic concepts and analysis, supply and demand analysis, theories of the firm and individual behavior, competition and monopoly, and welfare economics. The way this book has connected each and every thing illustrated with real life and society make it easy for us to get absorbed in it. Microeconomics also deals with the effects of economic policies such as changing levels on microeconomic behavior and thus on the aforementioned aspects of the economy.
One person who sets out to study the lake might focus on specific topics: certain kinds of algae or plant life; the characteristics of particular fish or snails; or the trees surrounding the lake. In a similar way, both microeconomics and macroeconomics study the same economy, but each has a different viewpoint. The theory of usually assumes that markets are. For the United States, this is the Federal Reserve. For example, you may like waffles, but you like chocolate even more. Production costs are above what may be achieved by perfectly competitive firms, but society benefits from the product differentiation.
I suppose such a course is acceptable for students who cannot handle difficult subjects, like business majors. Mateer and Coppock, leading researchers in Economics teaching who have consistently taught Principles over a combined forty-plus years, brought their innovative teaching experiences to this blockbuster text. Extensive updates feature relevant new examples to capture students' attention. My only problem with it is that he sometimes repeats himself, and it gets annoying. They put economics into context by making it relatable through carefully crafted real-world examples, a problem-solving pedagogy that emphasizes economic decision-making, and a voice that speaks directly to students.
Microeconomics: Theory and Applications with Calculus. I had to review other books and ask friends for help on early homework probs. Summary of Principle of Economics. At the end of each chapter, Mateer and Coppock provide Study Problems increased in the Second Edition as well as three Solved Problems—a unique feature of our text—that engages students in applying chapter concepts to real economic problems. It probes questions like how to tell when big businesses or big labor unions are operating in a way that benefits society as a whole and when they are operating in a way that benefits their owners or members at the expense of others. In studying a lake, the micro insights about particular plants and animals help to understand the overall food chain, while the macro insights about the overall food chain help to explain the environment in which individual plants and animals live. Different forms of markets are a feature of and , with advocates of often criticizing markets and aiming to substitute or replace markets with varying degrees of government-directed.

In 1880, the most common Cannone occupation in the USA was Farmer. 50% of Cannone's were Farmers. Farmer and Planter were the top 2 reported jobs worked by Cannone.
Census records can tell you a lot of little known facts about your Cannone ancestors, such as occupation. Occupation can tell you about your ancestor's social and economic status.
What Cannone family records will you find?
There are 3,000 census records available for the last name Cannone. Like a window into their day-to-day life, Cannone census records can tell you where and how your ancestors worked, their level of education, veteran status, and more.

We provide professional translations for easy written and spoken communication with Bengali speakers.
The sixth most-spoken language in the world, with around 200 million speakers in Bangladesh alone and over 230 million the world over, Bengali is renowned for its linguistic beauty; it is also among the most difficult languages in the world to learn for these reasons. There are variations in formality structures depending on social situations, and also changes in vocabulary depending on whether you are among Muslim or Hindu speakers.
Our expertise is in professional translation, carried out only by native speakers of the language. With K International, your text will be handled personally and given the attention of an expert linguist fluent in the language, who will make sure your message gets across – word for word.
Our team of translators include professional, native Bengali speakers. We ensure your completed translation will reflect the tone, purpose and formality of your original text, and are committed to providing the most accurate and easy-to-use translations possible.
Your project manager will be linked personally to your account, and will be your contact throughout your working relationship with K International.

The Tracklingua platform is the point for all of our clients to monitor their projects, including orders involving texts which need to be translated into more than one language.
There are regional variations in vocabulary within the Bengali language, resulting from words borrowed from nearby countries’ languages. There are four different dialects of the language within Bangladesh alone. It is possible for a word in Bengali to be repeated several times in the same sentence, with different pronunciation and a different meaning each time; if you are anything less than expert in the language, being correctly understood in your communication will be a challenge!
Students at the University of Dhaka fought for the right to retain their ancestors’ Bengali language, when attempts were made to impose Urdu upon Bangladesh. The anniversary of this successful movement in 1952, February 21st, is now celebrated as International Mother Language Day, in Bangladesh and other countries around the world. By contrast with the bloodshed of its history, Bengali has been voted the world’s sweetest-sounding language by UNESCO.

I got a little extra excited about racing the last few months and have lots of races I want to do this year! I’m currently registered for a marathon, 10 miler, half marathon and an olympic distance triathlon but will probably register for more of each soon! Now that I’ve been training for marathons for more than a year, half marathons no longer seem like a big deal since I do runs longer than that quite regularly. I’m really excited to do two or three triathlons this year because I would like to do a half ironman next year!
So that’s seven races in eight months. That might be too much. I’ve only registered for four of them and will likely hold off a bit before registering for the others. I’m a little nervous about the Cherry Blossom 10 because it’s just three weeks after the marathon, but I think it will be okay. Plus, Jessica will (hopefully) be here so it will be awesome. The Morgantown Tri is 15 weeks before the Philadelphia Marathon so I think I can probably do it but I’ll probably wait until I’ve done a couple races before deciding if I really want to be training non-stop the whole year…and if I think my body can handle that level of training for so long.

An important part of the work of the Belfast Celtic Society is to support worthy causes. Recently the Committee donated £200 towards the staging of this years Anti-Racism World Cup at the Donegal Celtic FC in Belfast from the 16th to the 18th of July. The Anti-Racism World Cup (ARWC) was born in 2007 at a time when Belfast was experiencing an alarming upsurge in racist attacks across the city.
This ground-breaking and innovative idea was the brainchild of several soccer enthusiasts who believed that sport, and soccer in particular would not only bond and unite but cut across race, religion and barriers. For the last three years teams have travelled from across theworld to play against teams from various ethnic minority groups and from local communities in Belfast and across Ireland.
The aim of the ARWC is to build awareness of other cultures and races and dispel the myths, prejudices and stereotypes surrounding people of different religions, backgrounds and races.
For the last three years teams have travelled from across the world to play against teams from various ethnic minority groups and from local communities in Belfast and across Ireland.
Last year's tournament involved over 500 local people and 100 international guests.

1. Football - In my mind, football is the best sport and really the only sport I get excited about watching. I live in my Tom Brady jersey every Sunday and follow all NFL news during each week of the season. I'm also a converted Oklahoma Sooners fan and have so much fun watching the games at our bar, McGreevys. Side note: football game day snacks are my favorite!
2. Sweatshirt & sweater & boot weather - After living with only one AC unit all summer, I'm so ready for the temps to cool down so I can wear sweaters (thinking about buying this one!) & sweatshirts. I also can't wait to wear my Tory Burch boots again. As much as I like sandals, boots always make me feel like my look is much more pulled together.
3. Pumpkin and apple everything - Pumpkin coffee and donuts are now at Dunkin! I love how many stores end up carrying pumpkin items and each year I end up trying something new. Being from New England, I also go apple picking every year. It's a tradition here to go apple picking and then make an apple recipe like apple crisp or apple pie.
4. Fall foliage - The changing colors of the leaves is beautiful! There's no better place to see the foliage than New England!
5. Crockpot meals - As the weather cools down, it's time to turn the crockpot on. Chili, soups and meals like pulled pork are my favorites.

Reading this, it’s like you know me! Our small boy even managed to hide little parcels of his uneaten meals (if it wasn’t Findus cheese pancakes, the gob remained firmly shut) on top of the kitchen cupboards (how he didn’t excel at basketball is a mystery) which we only discovered during renovations. Now, the much bigger boy is obsessed with all things culinary, has a collection of recipe books to match Nigella’s and he could give Mr. Hollywood a run for his bread. His sister suggested he bake his nephew’s first birthday cake. ‘Croquembouche?’. I don’t think he was joking.
It’s like you’re in my head thinking my thoughts!
I am still at the pre-sproglet stage, but it sounds like I am following the same path, so will heed your warning and remain non-smug when little people do come along as I now fear my joyful cooking shan’t last as long as I’d hope!
If you ever need someone who will happily enjoy your cooking making appreciative yum, ooo, ah and such sounds and ask for more (i will always ask for more) I’m your lady. Happy to throw in a random tantrum as well.

maybe have it trigger at the end of the Player Phase and not immediately after killing the last caravan? That way for example if you happened to kill the last Caravan and there were still enemies to kill for EXP or ruins that one of your units were in range of, you still have the rest of the Player Phase to try and get what you can.
That will be too much of an advantage for the player imo.
Even tough i also used Thiefy + Levin sword, i didn't give her the mana Ring, as she could still double and kill stuff without it. I put her on the ruins at the south to get the Mithril Mail from there and let her Zap stuff from above. Also Nia was in the Middle in the trees Attacking North or south when needed.
I am enjoying this A LOT. Just finished Chapter I, and I can honestly say that I can't wait for the vids to go live!
If you need someone to test the macOS release when it's ready, I'll do it.
Hi. I just finished the game. It was beautiful. Everything from the music choice, to the maps, to the fluid leveling and solid difficulty curve made playing it a great experience. The gameplay was just so damn smooth. Thank you for making this.
Even with only the field animations this game seems to be a blast !
Although for now I'm stuck with what seems to be a nasty bug : at the end of the first chapter, when the last soldier unit drops its vulnerary, the game instantly crash. Don't have the time to screenshot the debug screen, it closes in less than a second. Repeated the try twice, always the same result and it starts back at the prep menu.
It's a long time coming folks, but Full Combat Animations are now supported!
Full Combat Animations took up the bulk of my time on this project, but there are other improvements as well. If you care, they can be found in the spoiler tags below.
Animation option in the Options Menu now works (can change between Always, Your Turn, Combat Only, and Never for Full Animations).
You can press whatever your AUX key is mapped to (default: a) to toggle Full Animation.
You can press whatever your START key is mapped to (default: s) to speed up Full Animation.
Game now pauses for 20 seconds after crashing. Take a screenshot!
Detailed error logs are output to the terminal and saved in debug.log.1.
Chapters 3 and 4 have been made easier. Playtesting revealed the difficulty jump between Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 was too harsh.
Chapters 5, 7, 8, and 9 have also been made slightly easier.
The Final Boss has been nerfed. Dealing with him if you were unprepared was essentially impossible. This makes it slightly possible.
In general, many items have been removed.
Some items have been added or changed dramatically.
Small changes to many classes' growths, bases, caps, and promotion gains.
Small changes to item weights.
Can no longer rescue mounted units.
Mounted units can no longer walk on pillars.
As always, I am only one man and cannot find every bug in this behemoth of a codebase. Even while finishing testing I was still finding bugs here and there. So if you encounter a bug, please send me a PM or comment here. Also attach your Saves/debug.log.1 if you can, since it has useful information that will help me find the bug and squash it.
You cannot use the saves you have from previous versions. It will break. Don't do it. You must start a new game. Really.
I plan to write a tutorial on how to create your own custom scenarios and fangames using the Lex Talionis engine. Accompanying this will be a graphical Level Editor to make developing individual chapters easy and fluid.
Also, if anyone has any Android development experience and owns an Android device, I would be interested in talking to them about porting this to Android. PM me. Thank you!
>you cannot use the saves you have from previous versions. It will break. Don't do it. You must start a new game. Really.
Cool game you've got here. I've been enjoying playing it. I've come across an bug however. I'm on chapter 7 and the game is crashing when Althea promotes.
Fixed. The fix has been uploaded to the Dropbox! Thank you!
Just download the new version and move your Saves folder from the old one to the new one. After you've confirmed that you've moved the Saves folder (try loading your save in the new version), you can delete the old version.
If you prefer not to switch to the new version right away, in the old version, the bug only occurs when you promote a unit using a magic weapon after a combat with Animation turned on. So you can turn off animations until everyone promotes, or you can remember to toggle all animations when a unit is nearing promotion. You can hold AUX (defaults to A key) before combat starts to toggle animation.
Do you have a file with the growth rates? I'm really enjoying it so far. What are your future plans for it? I love the challenge and mechanics. The AOE spells and the fly tome are so awesome. Who is your favorite or who are your favorites from the characters you made?
You can find the growth rates for all your units by pressing the SELECT button (default: X) on the R-button Info Menu.
Choosing a favorite character is difficult -- each is special in their own way. A lot of people have told me they like Nia, both mechanically and aesthetically.
To finish writing and testing the level editor.
Write a tutorial on how to develop your own levels and game using the Lex Talionis Engine.
Get the Engine running on an Android device. I've managed to get it to show up on an Android Emulator, but it ran slow on the emulator and I don't have an Android to test on.
Cool thanks for getting back to me so fast. That's a really neat feature. I love the pressure the never ending reinforcements on some chapters that forces me to push forward faster. Do you have a list of all the items in the chests and how many searchable ruins are there? I think I missed a couple due to having to rush and not noticing them sometimes.
Here's a link to the simple text file I used to keep track of every item that the player gets in the game. You can just CTRL-F for "Ruin" or "Chest" to find what you are looking for.
I just beat it. The challenge was awesome, those last 2-3 levels really tore me a new one. I couldn't come out of the last one without a casualty. Sure wish I had more stuns and sandblasts on me. The sewers really punished me. Renae, Drake, Nia and Eliza wound up really great for me. I'll play through it again; I want to torture my friends and my brother with it. Thanks again for making it; the difficulty really kept me on my toes. I never thought I'd love using a magic based thief.
Thanks for that file; it helped a lot. I'm just glad in the rainy chapter that I didn't really miss on something I needed or wanted near the paladin reinforcement store. Hex, stun and the magebane items were amazing.
I just finished beating the game and I must say, it's a great game, I loved it from start to finish and even though difficulty is very high, I did very well, thankfully without losing any unit in any chapter. I losed two itens in house ruins, but nothing that I needed. Didn't abuse the area spells to beat it. Finished last chapter in 5 turns, killing Ulver with the Critical skill on Ophie and Nia, only needed to use the skill with Brave weapons and boom, 4 hits did it, two from each character. Best units for me: Nia, Althea, Renae(Magic Thief), Kayla, Ophie and beast Eliza, omg, turned out so amazing for me, a beast.
What stats did your best units end up with, mind sharing screenshots Demon?
This and several other bugs not mentioned here have been fixed in the latest update (v0.7.3). Thanks to everyone who's reported bugs!
How come I haven't spotted this earlier? I'll give it a try once I find some time.
Finally got around to start the new Version. As fun as i remember it being :D I also noticed it runs smoother now!
A bug that caused a crash. I probably should've saved a snapshot of the game itself, but this happened during Chapter 3.
Also, does the game only write to memory when it's exited? That seems dangerous.

Keeping little minds and hands busy in the early years before school is essential to their development, but it can be tricky. We’re taking a peek at the virtual shelves of a little Australian store, that stocks toys aimed at developing skills in children from as young as two months, through to five years old.
Classic Baby does what we’d all love to do – scour the globe for the most amazing educational toys for our children. Predominantly focused on wooden toys, Classic Baby takes incredible care choosing only toys that create some form of learning through play.
KidsMatter, an Australian mental health and well-being framework for early education services, explains how play helps children learn how to be patient, fix mistakes and to feel better after things go wrong. It’s also a great stress reliever for small children and fosters imagination and creativity.
A desire to provide the best toys for this type of learning is what prompted Classic Baby to open its online store six years ago. The initial premise was to provide educational toys for children aged up to three, focusing on Montessori education. The range has continued to evolve and expand and now includes products for children up to age five, with the spotlight still firmly on education and toys with a purpose.
Families can easily source products for all their children, because the site is divided into categories. The Classic Baby section has baby toys aimed at assisting early learning and providing tactile play, like teethers, board books, soft books and rattles.
Classic Kids is devoted to products for older toddlers and children aged up to five. The toys address all-important fine motor skills, speech development, cognitive skills, auditory skills and toys that foster artistic development and imaginative play.
Every month, Classic Baby adds new products to its Toy Sale. The toys here are always changing and there are some fantastic bargains to be found. You can also shop by gender, or by brand – and peruse gorgeous toys from the likes of Green Toys, Le Toy Van and Djeco. Classic Baby offers free shipping on any orders over $100.

Maine has one or more Locality Pay Adjustment areas with special locality pay adjustment rates. This page lists the locality-adjusted yearly GS pay scales for each area, with starting pay for a GS-1 broken down by county in the interactive map. For a detailed calculation of your pay as a GS employee in Maine, see our General Schedule Pay Calculator.
The BOSTON-WORCESTER-PROVIDENCE, MA-RI-NH-CT-ME General Schedule locality region applies to government employees who work in Boston and surrounding areas. General Schedule employees who work within this region are paid 24.8% more than the GS base pay rates to account for local cost of living.
The Boston locality pay rate also applies to Brunswick, Kittery, and other cities within the region.
Any federal employees in Maine who do not live in an area for which a specific Locality Pay Adjustment has been set will receive the generic "Rest of the United States" locality pay adjustment of 14.16% (shown in the table below).
