What would happen in this market if we implement this subsidy in the short run? In the long run? Who benefits from this policy?Instructions:Your task contains two parts, an analysis and a cover letter. Notice that this is not a calculation problem –we have not specified the functions you would need in order to perform exact calculations –instead, we want you to be thinking of this more generally. Your task is to think about the proposed policy. The industry is currently in an equilibrium where firms are earning zero economic profit. ![]() There are no barriers to entry –new food trucks start up all the time. There is a large supply of labor in Doronto, willing to work at the (currently) prevailing wage rate of $10/hour –so large, in fact, that firms have no problem finding workers willing to work for $10 per hour (which would continue to be true even if they hired significantly more workers than they currently do). That is, each firm is essentially identical. Your firm has done some preliminary research, and discovered the following things: firms in the food cart industry (regardless of what kind of food they are selling) are perfectly competitive, and have the same production technology (cost structure). Mayor McNeill’s office has hired your consulting firm to look into the matter further and provide some guidance as to whether implementing this subsidy would be a good idea overall, and specifically who benefits from this policy. ![]() Of course, Mayor McNeill is interested in the well-being of these workers, the profitability of the firms, the growth of the industry, and the city’s overall finances. Mayor McNeill’s advisor suggested that this would be popular with the people who work in these firms, and the firm owners, and promote the overall growth of the food-cart industry. One of his policy advisors has suggested that one way they could promote this kind of industry in Doronto is to subsidize the wages of food-cart workers: every year when the food carts submit their taxes to the city, the city would subsidize the hourly wages by $1, which would be deducted from the taxes that firm (food cart) would have to pay that year. Part of Mayor McNeill’s plan for improving Doronto is to promote this food-cart culture, focusing on the business aspect. All over Doronto there are food carts selling all kinds of different cuisines, and the reputation Doronto has developed as being foody-friendly has been great for tourism. Scenario: Mayor McNeill has just taken over as the mayor of Doronto, a city famous for its lively food-cart industry. In this writing assignment, you will be acting as an economic policy advisor. Īs an economist, in addition to being able to analyze a situation, you will need to be able to communicate your ideas to others.

There's running the tangents and then there's running up onto the sidewalk to round the corner, especially in a crowded road race. If the race has a no-headphones rule, then runners should abide by it.īottom line: wearing headphones might be breaking the rules but it isn't cheating. The theory behind this rule is that runners wearing headphones can be distracted by their music and not paying attention to what's happening on the road. Elite runners can't wear headphones in a race, so why should we mere mortals be allowed to wear headphones? Some races ban headphones, but I've run in some of those races while wearing headphones and no one even looked at me twice. ![]() It's hard to believe that this would ever be considered cheating, but purists think so. It's so easy to look up people's results, so why bother?īottom line: lying about finish times and PRs, even if it's "only" shaving off minutes or seconds, is cheating. Did I hurt anyone by doing this? No, but it's really not being truthful. I finished in 5:27:56, but I told everyone that I finished in 5:25, which to me is still awful. Heck, I was so embarrassed by my first marathon that I did it with my finish time. Especially when it comes to sharing a PR. But rounding down the minutes? As in running a half in 2:xx and saying you finished in 2 hours. We all know that runner who rounds down his PR or finish time. Is pausing your Garmin during a training run really cheating? Isn't the point of training to improve our running skills and work on weaknesses? What if I post my results on a social media site such as Strava? Other people can see those results and might think that I'm faster than I really am.īottom line: if I'm cheating anyone by pausing my Garmin, it's myself. ![]() During training runs, many runners, including myself, pause their watch for a potty stop, for water, for a stoplight, to tie a shoe, and for other reasons. ![]() But it’s very unclear to me how it happens, making several of the Side Quests infuriating. I like it because it allows for cool team-up skills, more damage, higher stats (though if you use a Pep Power you lose Pep). There’s a percentage chance it will happen, and it can be influenced with skills, it’s not very clear how it is triggered. Instead of wasting actions in combat, you can enter a state of Pep after attacking/being attacked. Back in Dragon Quest VIII, you could power-up a’la Dragon Ball Z, and a similar system exists here. There are items you can equip to counteract that though. Larger enemies can (and usually do) get a second action, from bosses to regular encounters. Once you pick an action, it will go immediately, and the next friend or foe will act. I did occasionally swap weapons for weaknesses (Anti-Dragon, Anti-Demon, et cetera) because it does help. When a character you’re controlling has a turn, it will prompt you to Attack, use Abilities, Items, swap equipment, et cetera. Stop running and give me that XP!Ĭombat’s pretty simple though. I was genuinely surprised that the AI pattern for the allied characters was so smart.ĭamn Metal Slimes. Your staff-wielding characters gain a percentage of their damage in MP, which can be increased through the skill system and is an absolute godsend. This game “does” have MP-restoring items, but it’s always been an issue for me in Dragon Quest. This leads me to one of the things I was worried about: MP. If they were under a certain threshold (typically 40-50%), they would fire off the appropriate heal. I was fine with the AI controlling them because not once did the AI controlled logic let the main character die. Your allies default to being controlled by the AI, but if you want you can go to tactics and adjust what they do (or control them yourself). It does, however, help against the enemy getting the first hit in. If you come into range and attack (X) before they get in close, it counts as a sneak attack, though it won’t guarantee you a preemptive strike. The main character runs around in the open world and can see the enemies in real time wandering around (unless you’re on the water. There are so many beautiful areas in this game. They also gain EXP even if they didn’t fight, so it won’t be like Final Fantasy X where if you don’t swap a character in to perform an action they get nothing. Speaking of allies, you will build a party of up to four characters, and though you will have more than four friends to join the quest, you can swap the others in and out of battle at will. These first few hours is a nice, pleasant tutorial, slowly introducing fighting, having allies, and even the Mini Forge. The threat is not very clear over the first couple of hours instead, it’s a young boy who happens to be the Luminary, meeting a new friend and running away from people who hate him simply for being who he is, something he has no control over. Instead, he is seen as a herald of darkness, that dark, unpleasant times are upon the world again. The Luminary is destined to seal up The Lord of Shadows again, and while I’ll do my best to avoid spoilers in this review, not everyone is all that thrilled that the ancient hero has risen again. While it is a very linear JRPG, there is a ton of story to enjoy, twists, turns, and plenty of challenging boss battles to hack through.īehold our great hero, the Luminary! That outfit looks familiar…ĭragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age stars you as the reincarnation of The Luminary, a hero from a previous Age. A lot of enjoyable mechanics from other games have come back and feel tighter, easier to manage (crafting as an example). ![]() While the latest in the Dragon Quest franchise has not changed too much, it feels and plays better than ever. I’m closing in on 50 hours and still in the main game, then there’s the lengthy post-game content to go through. I’m still not done completing my first run of Dragon Quest XI, but it’s not for a lack of trying. ![]() Maybe my expectations are a little odd, but that’s the way it goes. There are a few things I expect in my Dragon Quest game: Akira Toriyama’s adorable monsters, grinding at every new town I come to, and Puff Puff. It’s remarkable that one of the most popular RPG franchises in the world just keeps the same style and type of RPG, and it just keeps working. I find it to be personally fascinating that in 30 years, Dragon Quest has remained unchanged. This allows for co-ordinated strategies that can be used to dispatch multiple opponents, or complete tasks, using each character’s unique abilities. Guns have limited ammo, refills which can be found in crates.Īs well as controlling the characters in real-time, the Showdown feature allows players to record a series of movements and actions for each character. ![]() He also has a throwing knife for silent kills, either at a distance or from behind, and two pistols that can take out multiple targets when noise isn’t an issue. John, for instance, has a coin that he can throw to distract opponents to make them look away so he can slip by undetected. There’s a lot of sneaking about and detracting enemies, in order to take them out without alerting their friends. Players must carefully plan their strategy to avoid unwanted attention. Each character has their own unique abilities.Įach location has a number of objectives for John and his companion(s) to complete. The game’s visual style and presentation, overall, is very polished.Īs Cooper journeys to New Orleans he is joined by a number of other characters that players can switch to between during play. The game is in full 3D and you can rotate the camera to get the best angle. I’d assumed that the game had static, pre-rendered backgrounds, which is not the case at all. ![]() But, in fact, the visuals are crisp and not at all like the screenshots of the game that I’d seen, previously. The story primarily follows the adventures of the bounty hunter, John Cooper, who is on the trail of the man that killed his father.Īt first glance, the game looked a bit retro. This third game is set in the 1870s and serves as a prequel to the previous games, so there’s no need to know anything that has gone before. Whilst it does lack the precision of mouse control, the user interface has been designed for easy use with an Xbox One controller. With Desperados III, though, I was pleasantly surprised. Regardless of the advantage of a huge 4K HDR display, for me, playing strategy games with a gamepad is akin to using my mouse with my feet. In the, sometimes, frantic mess that is confirming the platform to review games on, I mistakenly requested Xbox One for a game that I figured would be best played on PC. Considering that the last game in the series came out over a decade ago to only so-so reviews, it’s hardly surprising. I’ve never played a Desperados game before. Plan your moves wisely and execute them perfectly in real time to sneak past your enemies while remaining undetected.The isometric Wild West real-time-strategy franchise returns with Desperados III. Combine your specialists to overcome tough challenges in many different ways. On their mission to track down a nemesis whilst derailing a relentless corporate tycoon, the five distinctive characters use a wide array of skills to infiltrate, spy, sabotage, elude, steal, abduct, deviate, assassinate, blow stuff up… and as a last resort: shoot 'em down. On an epic journey through 1870s USA and Mexico, the team will face incredibly difficult odds and must outsmart vastly outnumbering gangs. Hunted by ruthless bandits and corrupt lawmen, the Desperados III need to turn the tables with every mission. The very different strong personalities struggle to cooperate at first, but ultimately join forces to combine their distinctive specialties and challenge a seemingly superior foe. You take control of a ragtag band becoming a highly functional group of unlikely heroes and heroines. ![]() Desperados III is a modern real-time tactics game set in a ruthless Wild West scenario. I’ll talk about this setup sometime in the future. We are using a common iCloud account with my wife to sync our contacts and calendar as well as our particular iCloud accounts for our personal needs. Many apps (like “Day One” for journal) also sync via iCloud. The default iCloud is of course the basis of my post-PC iPad - my contacts, calendars and other Apple-relevant stuff is synced via iCloud. Over the last few days I’ve been playing with different apps and setups and found out that there will be at least 7 cloud services involved in my iPad only setup, here they are in order of importance: Cloud #1 - the iCloud for settings and some files And it’s very exciting :-) 7 Clouds to rule them all iPad is a post-PC device and needs a different approach. Luckily I have 64GB of storage so plenty to go by… but I need to go away from just storing everything here. Lots of companies are talking about moving to the cloud and how it can be accomplished and there are many “cloud” services out there… and what I have found out is that in order for my ipad experiment to work I really need to use several cloud services and balance between storing data in the cloud and locally on my iPad. Life in the cloud… and there are more clouds than we think The last two days I’ve been setting it up and made a few discoveries… about the clouds and the significant part they’ll play in my “iPad only” journey. As I mentioned in my last blog post over the course of the next weeks I will try to make this very iPad my only computer, actually spending 80%+ of my time working on the iPad. You’ll download the Java 8 application from Oracles website.Today is my first day of working entirely on the iPad. Type “mount -o remount, exec, rw/” then press the Enter key on your keyboard.Next, you’ll need to make the system file writable. If you’ve set your own shell password previously, it may be that password. Depending on the Chrome OS build you are using, the password could be “chronos”, “chrome”, “facepunch”, or “password”. Type “sudo su” (no quotes) and press Enter on your Chromebook’s keyboard.(Don’t worry if you don’t know the difference between these shells it isn’t important for this tutorial.) Now you’ll be able to run commands with sudo, which enables you to run commands as “root” from your ordinary user account. Then, type ‘shell,’ which opens the full Bash shell. Press the Ctrl + Alt + T keys on the keyboard, to open the Crosh shell. You should also keep in mind that your Java installation may be unstable, or it may not work at all Chromebooks are designed for people who only need access to the basics, so they’re relatively simple and pared-down when compared to other operating systems.īut if you decide that you still want to try installing Java itself, proceed with caution.Īfter putting your Chromebook device in developer mode and logging in to your device, you’ll proceed to open the command shell it’s similar to the Terminal you would use with Windows or Mac. If you want to put a full-fledged Java installation on your Chromebook, however, then there are some additional steps to take.

At the time, El Fassi was conducting separate research with the dataset, but she eventually chose to seek evidence of lambda particles within it as well. This subatomic alchemy took place at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility way back in 2004. The resulting energetic kick can send quarks pinballing through the nucleus, where they combine with other quarks to create lambdas and other “composite” particles. Instead the impinging electrons release “virtual” photons, so called because they scarcely exist at all: these photons are reabsorbed by the quarks almost as fast as they are emitted. Yet despite these elaborate efforts, the arcane laws of quantum mechanics dictate that, even here, the electrons do not interact directly with the quarks. This involves shooting an electron beam at a nucleus, which transfers energy to the quarks within the protons and neutrons inside, stimulating lambda production. Lambda particles have been studied before, but in the new paper, the researchers relied on a special process called semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering to create them inside a nucleus. ![]() ![]() “So part of the reason that strange quarks are interesting is because, at least in this naive picture, they’re not there at the beginning. “Our naive picture of a proton and a neutron is that they involve up and down quarks,” he says. The scarce, slippery nature of strange quarks is precisely what makes them so appealing for researchers, says Daniel Brandenburg, an assistant professor of physics at the Ohio State University, who was not involved in the new work. Strange quarks are heavier, rarer beasts than their up and down siblings, and the particles they form are correspondingly far less stable, tending to decay very quickly. The vast majority of quarks are of the up or down varieties, says Lamiaa El Fassi, lead author of the new study and an associate professor of experimental nuclear physics at Mississippi State University. Lambda particles are baryons, which means they’re a type of hadron made of three quarks: one up quark, one down quark and one strange quark. This is the force that binds quarks together to make larger particles such as protons and neutrons and that holds those protons and neutrons within an atom’s nucleus. Hadrons are subatomic particles that are made of quarks and subject to the strong force. “This data is the first time we study the lambda in the nucleus, and we look at what we call hadronization, the process of producing hadrons,” says study co-author Kawtar Hafidi, associate laboratory director for physical sciences and engineering at Argonne National Laboratory. In this particular case, a group of researchers focused on one variety of strange matter, called lambda particles. Probing the details of strange matter’s emergence is part of a broader effort by nuclear physicists to understand the fundamentals of how subatomic particles form. “Strange” here refers, in part, to a profound remoteness from our everyday lives: strange matter only seems to show up in truly extreme circumstances such as high-energy particle collisions and perhaps the enormously dense and pressurized cores of neutron stars. Strange matter is any matter containing the subatomic particles known as strange quarks. A new physics result two decades in the making has found a surprisingly complex path for the production of strange matter within atoms. ![]() Once properly installed, the new fonts will be visible in the Available Fonts tab.If it shows a red cancel icon move your mouse until it shows COPY.
