These passings of Great Economics happen in the northern autumn. The South Sea bubble popped in October 1720; the Great Crash occurred in October 1929; the Thousand- Year Boom collapsed in October 2008. With each crash, the existing economics is shattered too. The ruling economics is the economics of the rulers. Economics justifies the current class’s rule, tolerating no heretics. Economics props up Prince Rupert.

The Japanese, looking as they do for essences in landscapes, enjoy the transi- ence of nature; how the cherry blossoms are here today, gone tomorrow, and will return again next year, and the next after that. Everyone who constitutes a landscape must also cope on that landscape, and in that struggle everyone who beholds landscapes can become sensitive to what is going on as the world continues on, even though they may not know its deep history in geological and evolutionary time. They know context, if not origins.

If the axles don’t fit the wheels, you’ll need to do some adjusting. If the axles are too big (in diameter), try sharpening the ends in a pencil sharpener and jamming them through the wheel opening. Once the wheel is centered on the axle, add a drop of hot glue to hold it in place. If the axles are too small for the wheels—a common problem if you’re substitut- ing CDs for wooden wheels—you can add an insert or attachment to the wheel. Use lids from milk cartons or small wooden wheels to hold the axles. Then tape the lids or small wheels to the CD. Spin...

Convenient transportation connections with major cities around the world, smooth arrangements at the destination and adequate provision of business related amenities are therefore very important.

Otherwise known as South-South labor migrants, these workers are filling jobs in manufacturing, agriculture, construction and service industries in countries like Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Egypt. Migrant workers provide a cost-effective and hardworking labor force in labor-intensive industries, but they are also vulnerable, isolated and often heavily indebted.

Particles, as noted above, can provide an exposure pathway for SVOCs, but they also can present a serious health risk on their own. They range in size from very small (0.001 μm to 10 μm), which can remain in the air for a long time, up to relatively large (100 μm), which quickly settle out of calm air. Inhaling particulates can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation and can increase the risk for respiratory infections. Health care professionals are especially concerned about the long-term effects of inhaling ultrafine particles (less than 2.

There has been considerable debate in Canada on the relative contributions of mercury from natural sources versus releases to the environment from human activity. One of the challenges with this debate is the lack of accurate information on mercury emissions, past and present. Scientists have ana- lyzed sediment cores and determined that the levels of mercury in the environment today are more than double what they were in pre-industrial times. They have also measured mercury in the atmos- phere and found that it continues to increase globally at more than one per cent per year.

Statistical models were used to control for—i.e., remove—the impact of socioeconomic factors that might account for the correlation between race/ethnicity and credit scores. The inclusion of such controls slightly weakened, but by no means eliminated (or accounted for) the association between minority status and credit scores. Among all such control variables, race/ethnicity proved to be the most robust single predictor of credit scores; in most instances it had a significantly greater impact than education, marital status, income and housing values.
