My computer desktop is a bit like my handbag: it’s full of things I either don’t need or don’t use, it looks

10-11 класс

untidy, and I’m not quite sure where a lot of the stuff has come from. Looking at my desktop now, I can see, for example, a programme called ‘Easy Network Manager’ (no idea what that is), one called ‘DivX Movies’ (never used it), and a Microsoft Word document called ‘romeo_and_juliet’ (probably something I wrote at university and accidentally saved onto my desktop rather than somewhere more logical). Mixed up with all the rubbish, there are, however, one or two very important programmes – programmes which I feel even have a central role in my life. To go back to my handbag, these programmes would be the equivalent of my house keys and purse. They are the things which I use on a daily basis, and which I would be most upset about losing. One of the programmes I am talking about is Skype. The big, friendly ‘S’ has sat quietly at the bottom of my desktop since around 2009. And I am quite certain that it has changed my life.

I first realised the importance of Skype when I was in my third year of university. I had just moved to Germany for my ‘year abroad’, and it was my first long period of time outside the UK. About a week after I had arrived, I received a text message from one of my best friends saying that she was very upset and needed to talk to me. I remember rushing out of my flat with a 20 euro note trying to find a shop that would change it into coins so that I could call her from a payphone. When I finally had the coins, I still only managed to speak to her for around fifteen minutes. Payphones are expensive! Now that I have Skype, I no longer experience situations like that. I still live in Germany, and I know that I can talk to my family and friends whenever I need to, for as long as I want, for free. It’s extremely reassuring.

It seems to me that Skype is a bit of an underdog in the world of technology. It’s pretty normal to talk about Facebook, Twitter and Google, but you don’t tend to hear people on the bus talking about ‘that amazing conversation’ they had on Skype, or how Skype ‘affects the way we interact socially’ with our fellow humans. Probably this is because Skype is more of a private place than a public one: we don’t use it to show off or to follow celebrities, we use it to stay in touch with our loved ones.

There is no way
that economics can be used to show that one of these normative judgements is
correct and the other is wrong. It all depends on the preferences or priorities
of the individual or the society that has to make this choice. But that does
not mean that economics can throw no light on normative issues. Macroeconomics.
The overall picture Macroeconomics is the study of the economy as a whole.
Macroeconomics is concerned not with the details - the price of cigarettes
relative to the price of bread, or the output of cars relative to the output of
steel - but with the overall picture. We shall study issues such as the
determination of total output of the economy, the aggregate level of
unemployment, and the rate of inflation or growth of prices of goods and
services as a whole. The distinction between microeconomics and macroeconomics
is more than difference between economics in the small and economics in the
large, which the Greek prefixes micro- and macro- suggest. The purpose of the
analysis is also different. A model is a deliberate simplification to enable us
to pick out the key elements of a problem and think about them clearly.
Although we could study the whole economy by piecing together our microeconomic
analysis of each and every market, the resulting model would be so cumbersome
that it would be hard to keep track of all the economic forces at work.
Microeconomics and macroeconomics take different approaches to keep the
analysis manageable. Microeconomics places the emphasis on a detailed
understanding of particular markets. To achieve this amount of detail or
magnification, many of the interactions with other markets are suppressed. In
saying that a tax on cars reduces the equilibrium quantity of cars we ignore
the question of what the government does with the tax revenue. If the
government has to borrow less money, it is possible that interest rates and
exchange rate will fall and that improved international competitiveness of UK
car producers will actually increase the equilibrium output of cars in the UK.

Microeconomics
is a bit like looking at a horse race through a pair of binoculars. It is great
for details, but sometimes we get a clearer picture of the whole race by using
the naked eye. Because macroeconomics is concerned primarily with the
interaction of different parts of the economy, it relies on a different
simplification to keep the analysis manageable. Macroeconomics simplifies the
building blocks in order to focus on how they fit together and influence one
another.




Переведите текст на русский: Of Love THE STAGE is more beholding to love, than the life of man. For as to the stage, love is ever matter of comedies, and

now and then of tragedies; but in life it doth much mischief; sometimes like a siren, sometimes like a fury. You may observe that amongst all the great and worthy persons (whereof the memory remaineth, either ancient or recent) there is not one that hath been transported to the mad degree of love: which shows that great spirits and great business do keep out this weak passion. You must except nevertheless Marcus Antonius, the half partner of the empire of Rome, and Appius Claudius, the decemvir and lawgiver; whereof the former was indeed a voluptuous man, and inordinate; but the latter was an austere and wise man: and therefore it seems (though rarely) that love can find entrance not only into an open heart, but also into a heart well fortified, if watch be not well kept. It is a poor saying of Epicurus, Satis magnum alter alteri theatrum sumus [Each is to another a theatre large enough]; as if man, made for the contemplation of heaven and all noble objects, should do nothing but kneel before a little idol, and make himself a subject, though not of the mouth (as beasts are), yet of the eye; which was given him for higher purposes. It is a strange thing to note the excess of this passion, and how it braves the nature and value of things, by this; that the speaking in a perpetual hyperbole is comely in nothing but in love. Neither is it merely in the phrase; for whereas it hath been well said that the arch-flatterer, with whom all the petty flatterers have intelligence, is a man’s self; certainly the lover is more. For there was never proud man thought so absurdly well of himself as the lover doth of the person loved; and therefore it was well said, That it is impossible to love and to be wise. Neither doth this weakness appear to others only, and not to the party loved; but to the loved most of all, except the love be reciproque. 1 For it is a true rule, that love is ever rewarded either with the reciproque or with an inward and secret contempt. By how much the more men ought to beware of this passion, which loseth not only other things, but itself! As for the other losses, the poet’s relation doth well figure them: that he that preferred Helena quitted the gifts of Juno and Pallas. For whosoever esteemeth too much of amorous affection quitteth both riches and wisdom. This passion hath his floods in very times of weakness; which are great prosperity and great adversity; though this latter hath been less observed: both which times kindle love, and make it more fervent, and therefore show it to be the child of folly. They do best, who if they cannot but admit love, yet make it keep quarter 2; and sever it wholly from their serious affairs and actions of life; for if it check 3 once with business, it troubleth men’s fortunes, and maketh men that they can no ways e true to their own ends. I know not how, but martial men are given to love: I think it is but as they are given to wine; for perils commonly ask to be paid in pleasures. There is in man’s nature a secret inclination and motion towards love of others, which if it be not spent upon some one or a few, doth naturally spread itself towards many, and maketh men become humane and charitable; as it is seen sometime in friars. Nuptial love maketh mankind; friendly love perfecteth it; but wanton love corrupteth and embaseth it.

of empty food packets are read in the bin and put on the shopping list which is forwarded to the nearest supermarket.A few hours later, a courier arrives with the food, and it nobody is at home, the products are left in the "Skybox"- a largescale post box with special compartments for food products that need to be kept cool or frozen. The family receives a text on the mobile phone or an e-mail informing them that the shopping has been delivered."Lots of things are mush simpler in this house than in my old home," says Ursi," and I got used to it all really quickly, without reading instruction booklets.\\ And because of the Skybox, I don`t need to rush home to pick up the shopping."For her 12-eyear-old daughter Grace, the home is "simply cool", especially the television, which is watched cinema-style with Dolby sound via a projector in the ceiling that puts the images on the walls. The device can also play videos and can bring the newspaper into the living room over the Internet.Security is another advantage. The front door, for example, is opened by a fingerprint system, and the entire house can be monitored, even from a distance, by mobile phone.Ursi adds^ "" All the devices in the house, such as the washing machine in the celar, let me know when they are finished if I want them to, whether I`m in the kitchen or upstairs in the office. I get the devices, computer."The Futurelife house is owned and operated by Otto Beisheim Holding, in co-operation with and another 60 partner firms that supply the devices, computers and software.Despite all the ultra-modern appliances, Ursi admits she misses one thing about her old home- the open fire.
