![]() You may change careers or jobs more than once, but you would hope to be doing so to your advantage, that is, always to be gaining bargaining power in the labor market. As your career progresses, you have more, and perhaps more varied, experience and presumably more skills, and so can sell your labor in more of a sellers’ market. When you are starting your career, you are usually in a buyers’ market (unless you have some unusual gift or talent), if only because of your lack of experience. People pursue education to make themselves more highly skilled and therefore able to compete in a sellers’ labor market. The more skills required for a job, the fewer people there will be to do it, and the more leverage or advantage the seller has in negotiating a price. Similarly, the fewer skills required for the job, the more people there will be who are able to do it, creating a buyers’ market. If there are fewer people willing and able to do a job than there are jobs, then that labor market is a sellers’ market, and workers can sell their labor at higher prices. That labor market is a buyers’ market, and the buyers can hire labor at lower prices. If the supply of labor is greater than the demand, if there are more people to work at a job than are needed, then employers will have more hiring choices. ![]() In turn, the skills needed and the attractiveness of the work determine the supply of labor for that particular job-the number of people who could and would want to do the job. The nature of the work defines the education and skills required, and the price may reflect other factors as well, such as the status or desirability of the job. For any given job, that price is determined by many factors. In the labor market, the price of labor is the wage that an employer (buyer of labor) is willing to pay to the employee (seller of labor). Figure 2.2 "Sources of Income" shows the sources of income. Capital is sold in the capital market and lent in the credit market-a specific part of the capital market (just like the dairy section is a specific part of the supermarket). The principle is the same: investing is renting capital or selling it for an asset that can be resold later, or that can create future income, or both. You can invest in many other kinds of assets, like antiques, art, coins, land, or commodities such as soybeans, live cattle, platinum, or light crude oil. Investing in or buying corporate stock is an example of selling capital in exchange for a share of the company’s future value. You can lend privately by direct arrangement with a borrower, or you can lend through a public debt exchange by buying corporate, government, or government agency bonds. Lending is renting out capital the interest is the rent. Selling capital means investing: taking excess cash and selling it or renting it to someone who needs liquidity Nearness to cash, or how easily and cheaply-with low transaction costs-an asset can be turned into cash. ![]() Total compensation may include other benefits, such as retirement contributions, health insurance, or life insurance. Selling labor means working, either for someone else or for yourself. The two fundamental ways of earning income in a market-based economy are by selling labor or selling capital. Owning a piece of a partnership or a privately held corporation entitles one to a draw. Owning stock entitles the shareholder to a dividend, if there is one. Deposit accounts, like savings accounts, earn interest, which could also come from lending. Income from employment or self-employment is wages or salary. There are various terms for income because there are various ways of earning income. is what is earned or received in a given period. In the case of an indivdual or household, this is generally cash from wages, interest, dividends, or assets (such as rental income from real estate) that can be used for consumption or saved.

At first release in 2004, the supercharged version was praised for its performance but drew criticism for its interior quality and exterior styling, both described as too reminiscent of its predecessor, the Cavalier. In a 2013 review, journalist Patrick George called it the best compact car ever made by General Motors, and a potential "future classic". The Cobalt SS received generally positive reviews, particularly the turbocharged and supercharged versions. Production of the supercharged coupe continued until 2007, and after a brief hiatus the SS relaunched in the second quarter of 2008 with a more efficient and powerful turbocharged 2.0 L engine producing 260 hp (194 kW 264 PS) before all Cobalt production ended in 2010. The following year, a naturally aspirated 1SS model equipped with GM's new 2.4 L 171 hp (128 kW 173 PS) engine was added in both coupe and sedan body styles, including automatic and manual transmission options. The Cobalt SS was GM's first foray into the tuner market, launching as a 205 hp (153 kW 208 PS) supercharged 2.0 L coupe in late 2004, paired only with the F35 5-speed manual transmission of Opel. SS is an abbreviation of Super Sport, a historic moniker used by Chevrolet to denote high performance upgrades that meet certain criteria. The three versions included two forced induction inline-four Ecotec engines and a third naturally aspirated engine that was later called the Cobalt Sport. The Chevrolet Cobalt SS comprises three sport compact versions of the Chevrolet Cobalt that were built on the General Motors Delta platform at Lordstown Assembly in Ohio, United States. As a result, Wolfram|Alpha also has separate algorithms to show algebraic operations step by step using classic techniques that are easy for humans to recognize and follow. These methods are carefully designed and chosen to enable Wolfram|Alpha to solve the greatest variety of problems while also minimizing computation time.Īlthough such methods are useful for direct solutions, it is also important for the system to understand how a human would solve the same problem. Other operations rely on theorems and algorithms from number theory, abstract algebra and other advanced fields to compute results. In some cases, linear algebra methods such as Gaussian elimination are used, with optimizations to increase speed and reliability. How Wolfram|Alpha solves equationsįor equation solving, Wolfram|Alpha calls the Wolfram Language's Solve and Reduce functions, which contain a broad range of methods for all kinds of algebra, from basic linear and quadratic equations to multivariate nonlinear systems. Similar remarks hold for working with systems of inequalities: the linear case can be handled using methods covered in linear algebra courses, whereas higher-degree polynomial systems typically require more sophisticated computational tools. More advanced methods are needed to find roots of simultaneous systems of nonlinear equations. This too is typically encountered in secondary or college math curricula. ![]() Systems of linear equations are often solved using Gaussian elimination or related methods. These use methods from complex analysis as well as sophisticated numerical algorithms, and indeed, this is an area of ongoing research and development. There are more advanced formulas for expressing roots of cubic and quartic polynomials, and also a number of numeric methods for approximating roots of arbitrary polynomials. One also learns how to find roots of all quadratic polynomials, using square roots (arising from the discriminant) when necessary. One learns about the "factor theorem," typically in a second course on algebra, as a way to find all roots that are rational numbers. This polynomial is considered to have two roots, both equal to 3. To understand what is meant by multiplicity, take, for example. If has degree, then it is well known that there are roots, once one takes into account multiplicity. The largest exponent of appearing in is called the degree of.
![]() Mind maps can help you to break down complex information and issues, making them easier to understand.Here are some of the additional benefits: So, are there other advantages of using mind maps to organise information, other than just to do a ‘download’ from your busy mind? Yes. I could even make other mind maps which branch off from this one, focusing on ways to make money for university, the pro’s and con’s of each university or which course to take. If I was heading to university next year, I would keep referring to my mind map and work my way through all the things I needed to research and do. Now, there is so much information out there online that it can be confusing, but the Prospectus should still be your go-to booklet for university planning because it has everything in one place. The only resource I used to make this map was a University of Otago Undergraduate Prospectus booklet (5) which contains essential reading for about-to-be-first-year students.īack in the 1990’s, before internet searches existed, the Prospectus booklet was the only source of information for planning a university degree. If I was making this mind map for my future use, next I would colour it in and draw lines between parts that link together, but I didn’t want to make it too messy for you. Here is a rough draft of a mind map that I made in about 20 minutes, as if I was thinking about going to university for the first time next year, in 2021: So instead of sticking your head in the sand, take a deep breath, pick up a pen and try making a mind map. No one else is going to do the work for you this time. It may all become too hard, so you do nothing, hoping it all sorts itself out. All of a sudden, you may start to feel a little overwhelmed because you know almost nothing about anything related to university, yet you feel like you should know more. The problem is, as soon as you think ‘university’ you start to think about all these other things like degrees, money, deadlines, careers, scholarships, applications, hostels, etc. It’s completely normal to start thinking about university in your last year or two of school. By the time you have made a mind map, you will probably find that your brain has done a download of some (or all) of that information, leaving you free to focus on other things or to take action.Īs a demonstration of how mind mapping can work, at least for me and my mind, I decided to choose a topic that I haven’t had to think about for 26 years but which most senior school students will be thinking about all the time: going to university. This map is made by you, for you, in order to safely navigate the often confusing situation of being swamped with too much information. No one can tell you that your mind map is wrong, because they can’t see inside your brain where your thoughts and neurons are firing rapidly during the mind mapping process. You create it in your own way to visually represent information that is in your mind. The most important thing to remember is that a mind map is yours, not anyone else’s. This mind map would be useful to refer to regularly as a good reminder when you’re not focused. Lines may also be used to connect different branches of the map to show links between ideas, concepts or subtopics.Įxample of a mind map about how to stay focused in a digital world:Īs you can see in the mind map above, the creator (4) has chosen a cartoon-like approach with colours, graphics and words to illustrate their ideas about how to stay focused. Splaying out from that central topic are a number of subtopics, and branching off those are more notes or diagrams. At the core of a mind map is a central idea, topic or issue. They are not just random words thrown together on a page. Mind maps also comprise a network of connected and related concepts (3). Both of these descriptions should paint a picture in your mind of words and ideas splayed out across a page in a meaningful visual way. We can define a mind map simply as ‘a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts’ (1) or ‘a creative and logical means of note-taking and note-making that literally “maps out” your ideas’ (2). In this month’s blog, you can learn about what mind maps are, why they could be useful to you and how research has proven their benefits for higher education. Or it’s even possible that you’ve missed the mind mapping bus altogether. Maybe you scribble them on paper regularly when you’re trying to make sense of something complicated. Perhaps one of your teachers or lecturers asked you to make one for a complicated topic. ![]() If your looking for a jobsite blade, reasonably priced but with similar quality take a look at my review on the Kershaw “Needs Work” knife here….įor improvements I’d like to see Kershaw add a bit more forefinger slip protection to the Blur. It’s definitely too nice a blade to use on a jobsite and I feel that it’s a nicer daily carry. This knife is suited for multiple tasks and is especially ideal for slicing, slashing and pulling cuts. I was impressed with the quality, durability and versatility Kershaw Blur knife on the jobsite. The name “Blur” is perfect because that is exactly how fast this knife opens once you open it. The Blur cut clean and its aggressively sharp stainless steel blade showed no signs of dulling. I found the 4.2 ounce weight really comfortable and I used the Blur to cut everything from rope, a rubber hose, ½” pvc irrigation pipe, EDPM rubber roofing, cardboard and the outer sheathing of Romex wire. We carried and used two Blur’s on the jobsite for two weeks. The Kershaw Blur showed no damage and only on two drop testing occasions was able to get it to open. I dropped the Blur on many different types of materials from a wood floor, tile, concrete shop floor and pavement. It opens with a simple one-handed operation, has just a perfect amount of spring action. I can’t talk enough about the Speed Safe opening of this knife. ![]() The belt clip is reversible and holds well. The black on red grip on the Kershaw Blur is aggressive easy to spot when dropped on the ground or in snow and feels a bit like holding sandpaper. While not exactly a gentleman’s knife or meant for dress slacks it’s still a fairly compact size, yet big enough for your entire daily cutting needs. The Kershaw Blur knife weighs 4.2 ounces and is 4.5 inches long when closed. The knife “springs” open smoothly and easily and most importantly with one hand! Probably the single most impressive quality of this knife is it’s Speed Safe opening design and 3-3/8-inch 404A stainless steel blade.įor those of you that are unfamiliar with Speed Safe it is a torsion bar that allows the knife to be opened with one push of your thumb. This knife has an anodized aluminum handle and a stainless steel blade ![]() The fit and feel of the knife was one of quality and the blade was razor sharp right out of the box. My first impression of the Kershaw Blur knife was that it was a sharp looking knife, no pun intended. Kershaw Blur Knife with Speed Safe Review: FIRST IMPRESSION: Ken Onion, an award-winning custom knifemaker, invented the “SpeedSafe” assisted opening mechanism for Kershaw Knives. Kershaw is a subsidiary of Kai Corporation, which is Japan’s premier blade producer and has been for over 90 years. Kershaw has always made a quality knife and the company enjoys a worldwide reputation for performance and innovation in knives with a lifetime warranty. This review will focus on the Kershaw Blur Knife with Speed Safe.Īs an avid outdoorsman, carpenter and daily carrier of a knife I have come to appreciate and respect Kershaw Knives. The folks at Kershaw Knives recently sent me some folding blades to review and evaluate. It comes with an ad blocker, cookie blocker, malware blocker, WebRTC blocker and tracker blocker. You can also decide to auto-protect and exclude certain websites. Once connected, TouchVPN shows you some information such as the connection speed, status of blocking elements and a quick way to stop the connection. There is an automated option where the app would make the selection as well. You can choose from seven server locations while using TouchVPN. The set-up process is super-easy that way. You don’t have to create an account for using TouchVPN, though. As soon as you install the extension, you would find the TouchVPN icon near other extensions. It’s completely free to use, and offers an easy way to manage your VPN connection. TouchVPN is one of the most deserving Chrome VPN extensions out there. The second is the freemium Chrome VPN extensions which offer some part of their service for free while charging you a premium if you want to use their full features. The first type is those Chrome VPN extensions that are completely free and doesn’t cost you a dime. In this roundup, we are covering two types of Chrome VPN extensions. Now that we know the basics, let’s explore the article, shall we? Though the VPN Chrome extensions don’t offer the same level of customization as the full-fledged app, you may not have to look beyond for carrying out basic tasks. Furthermore, you can also use them to unlock geo-restricted content or websites.īeing easily accessible, they allow you to connect to a fast VPN network and even switch servers. While Chrome extensions may seem quite lightweight as compared to the full-fledged versions, they are more than handy in letting you browse the web anonymously. ![]() So, you may want to use a VPN dedicated to Chrome. Let’s admit that, Chrome collects a lot of information from your side.Compared to a fully-fledged VPN app, a Chrome extension offers easy access to the service.If you use Chrome for your regular browsing needs, this is the best way to get away from geo-location-based censoring and surveillance.Other applications on your computer will still connect to the Internet directly.By the way you can use the quick links below to directly skip to VPN list if you want.Īpart from the security advantages such as anonymous browsing, tracking prevention, secure network, and more, VPN extensions for Chrome also bring added advantage over full-fledged VPN services that you might use on your devices. ![]() After all, we all have been using Chrome without a VPN extension till now, haven’t we? Well, here are some of the reasons why using Chrome VPN extensions is valuable. ![]() Before we get into our list of the best free Google Chrome VPN extensions, let us first see why we need these extensions. sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dSAFER -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dSubsetFonts=true -dEmbedAllFonts=true -sOutputFile="%bm.pdf" -c save pop -f "%bm.ps" At the Argument field add the following command (I would be happy if someone could give me some explanation concerning these parameters):.At the Executable field add the path of the GS executable (in my case.Copy the LaTeX=>PS profile, and on the Postprocessor tab add a new one (after DviPs), call it GhostScript, or whatever you want.Install GhostScript 9.02 (somehow the MikTeX 2.9 ps2pdf doesn't close the document, so each time I would have had to do it manually).But I installed the GhostScript 9.02, and it works!įor other's information (who are not so talented, just like me), I write here how did I manage to create the right profile: The wizard unfortunately doesn't create the LaTeX=>PS=>PDF profile. I suppose that you misunderstood my question, but hopefully after many days of Googling I found the answer. (Note: I'm aware of the pstrick workaround for pdfTeX, that will take some source code changes but, hey, whatever it takes to get a high quality pdf document). ![]() Do you think it will give the high quality PDF output, comparable with ps->distiller->pdf? I know pdfTeX has lots of pdf-specific features, so may be I can get something which looks even better than pdf produced with distiller (?). My second question is regarding the alternative way: converting dvi directly to pdf, with either dvi-to-pdf or may be I should just install the latest MiKTeX with pdfTeX. I'd like to hear from anyone who knows of the good quality converter. ![]() I've tried several freeware tools which work by installing a virtual pdf printer, and didn't like any of them. Since I don't have Acrobat Pro available all the time (only when I'm on university computing system), I'm looking for something close in quality to distiller, but less expensive, or may be even freeware. With gsview/ghostscript conversion is OK but worse than with distiller. Now if I can get a hold on Acrobat Pro, so I can use distiller to convert ps to pdf, this gives the superb result, no complains. ![]() Since I use lots of pstricks (so I have an embedded postscript inside dvi), that's the most simplest way for me. I still have an old MikTeX distribution (pre-pdfTeX), and my normal workflow is to convert tex to dvi to ps, which I print, but sometime I need to generate pdf, so I simply convert ps to pdf. ![]() ![]() First, you need to check all the OCR applied zone are marked properly, if not, manually adjust.

But after merging with other white cliques in San Quentin, they renamed themselves the AB. Its original membership was largely Irish bikers who initially called themselves the Diamond Tooth Gang because members wore shards of glass in their teeth. The Aryan Brotherhood was formed at the San Quentin State Prison in California in 1964, organizing defensively against a violent black prison gang, the Black Guerilla Family, and becoming the first major white supremacist prison gang in the country in the process. When officials began to desegregate state and federal prisons during the 1960s, black and white inmates were thrown up against each other in many cases for the first time, and violent conflicts resulted. Ex-AB member Casper Crowell, National Geographic Explorer’s “Aryan Brotherhood,” 2007 Background: That’s what they should really be called.” Ex-AB leader Michael Thompson, National Geographic Explorer’s “Aryan Brotherhood,” 2007 Interview with imprisoned ex-AB “commissioner” John Greschner, Intelligence Report, Winter 2012 Because that’s how brothers take care of business, and a brother’s work is never done.” It’s going to be a vicious, brutal killing. And it’s not just going to be a few clean stab marks. We’re going to butcher him in front of God and everybody at high noon in the middle of the yard. We catch them walking across the yard under guard escort in handcuffs. If blacks attack whites, we send a message. “For the Aryan Brotherhood, murder is a way to make a social statement. “An Aryan brother is without a care/He walks where the weak and heartless won’t dare/And if by chance he should stumble, and lose control/His brothers will be there, to help reach is goal/For a worthy brother, no need is too great/He need not but ask, fulfillment’s his fate/For an Aryan brother, death holds no fear/Vengeance will be his, through his brothers still here.” On the streets, the AB is involved in practically every kind of criminal enterprise, including murder-for-hire, armed robbery, gun running, methamphetamine manufacturing, heroin sales, counterfeiting and identity theft. As a crime syndicate, the AB participates in drug trafficking, male prostitution rings, gambling, and extortion inside prison walls. Its motto is simple – “blood in, blood out.” AB chapters can be found in most major federal and state prisons in the country.

The Wrap Text tool is the easiest way to add text wrapping to a cell in Excel. How to Wrap Text in Excel Using the Wrap Text Tool You can do this using the Wrap Text tool or by adding line breaks manually. If you want to change this, you’ll need to wrap your text. If you add data to any other cells that this initial cell overlaps with, however, the cell value will become hidden again. However, if the cells to the right of your initial cell are empty, Excel will automatically display the full contents of your initial cell. If it is wrapped, Excel will break the line, pushing the text onto another line and increasing the height of the cell itself. ![]() If the text isn’t wrapped, the contents of the cell will become hidden as soon as the cell border is reached.
