From Waterloo to Wellington pants

Soignes Foret Picture: myfrenchforest
This is the Soignes Foret an impressive range of over 5,000 hectares, located six miles of Waterloo in Belgium where you famous over 200 years, would become over time players in one of the most amusing anecdotes which history has been able to give.

In June 1815 during the Battle of Waterloo the Duke of Wellington had to travel every day some roads running through a lush forest to reach the battlefield. The Duke was impressed by the fabulous you and to commemorate his victory, control plant a beech, "the beeches of Waterloo" at his home in Stratfield Saye between Hampshire and Berkshire , home to Wellington from 1817.

Stratfield Saye Image: Wikipedia
Beech trees are slow growing but with a very high longevity, more than 300 years and A few years later, the most famous botanist in England John Claudius Loudon to know of its existence, became interested in them. Long time did not coincide with the Duke and I send the following letter:

"My Lord Duke: It Would Extremely gratify me if Would you permit me to visit Strathfieldsaye, At Any time convenient to your Grace, and to inspect the Waterloo Beeches. Your Grace's Faithful Servant, JC Loudon "

" My lord duke, would be extremely rewarding if you allow me Strathfielsay visit at any time that suits you, and inspect the beeches of Waterloo. His grateful faithful servant, JC Loudon "

The Duke received the letter when he was sitting in the House of Lords, read the letter twice, it seems the writing of JC Loundon as the majority of doctors , left much to be desired, and perplexed by the letter but with his usual responded quickly and courteously with the following letter to the Bishop of London:

"My dear Bishop of London, It will always give me great pleasure to see you at Strathfieldsaye. Pray come There Whenever it suits your convenience, whether I am at home or not. My servant will Receive orders to show you so Many pairs of breeches of mine as you wish, BUT why Should you wish to inspect Those That I Wore at the battle of Waterloo is removed Beyond the comprehension of MOST Yours truly, Wellington. "

"My dear Bishop of London is always a pleasure to see in Strathfieldsay. To pray there every time to suit your convenience, whether or not home. My servant will receive orders to show you as many pairs of my panties as you want, but you want to inspect the ones I wore at the Battle of Watarlooo goes beyond my understanding, in all honesty, Wellington. "

still without leaving his astonishment the letter from the Bishop of London the Archbishop of Caterbury taught discreetly and to other bishops, assuring the Bishop of London two years ago that he had not written a letter to Wellington, arriving all the regrettable conclusion that the great national hero, the Duke of Wellington had lost his mind.

On the other hand, the Duke also had his doubts about the wisdom of the bishop, and conducted their investigations discreetly. Finally, everything would be cleared, and continue the good relationship between Wellington and Blomfield Bishop of London. The bad writing of Loudon, Wellington confused, and they were pants "breeches" were you "Beech" and the signature was not "CJ London" but "JC Loudon," but without this confusion would have deprived us all of this fun story of Wellington.

met her story here and here and in book Words on Wellington the duke - Waterloo - the ball published in 1900 in London.

汉语拼音 CHINA GREAT WALL OF LAW DIMINISHING RETURNS AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE

By Felipe Argote


David Ricardo
David Ricardo, an economist from the economic mainstream representative called classic born in the eighteenth century and died in nineteenth century who wrote the book "Principles of Political Economy and Taxation" is the ideologue of the "Law of Diminishing Returns." According to this analysis, based on Ricardo said agricultural production in a production process if we increase one input while the others remain constant, although it will achieve an increase in total output per unit of additional input, the variation in growth with each unit increase of the input, or is the marginal product is declining. Understand how the marginal product of variation in the total amount of product from an increase in their input while the others remain constant.

Although confirmed in several empirical studies also have been exceptions. The variation in the increase in production or product will have features the top marginal increasing until it reaches its turning point and then the marginal product begins to be decreasing.

For example, if we have to move 960 blocks from one place to another and only hired a laborer to move may take you an entire workday, but if we hired eight pawns may be coordinated to be in a row and probably will in half an hour. Then if we hired 16 laborers is likely to do so in twenty minutes. We see that initially the movement speed with a single pawn was 120 h-pawn block. Then with 8 pawns was 240 per hour with an increase of 200% but then the workers double the increase was 150%. By doubling the pawns first Once the increase was significant but the second time though was done in less time, the marginal product was lower. This is because on the second occasion was too much for the transmission line and rather hindered.

Alfred Marshall
Also if hired laborers to produce tomatoes, suddenly if we double the production tripled day laborers, but if you go back to double production only is doubled. The total product may be higher but the marginal product will be lower. If we insist on doubling our income laborers come down because although more product we have to pay more laborers per unit produced.

This is the law of diminishing returns and serves in a practical way to locate how far we go designating inputs while increasing yields are rising, and when to stop allocating new resources to not make the Erros of thinking is right only because doing so increased our total product without taking into account that the allocation of more units reduce our marginal product and hence the end of the period will reduce our income.

This element also is convenient for us to apply the concept Economies of Scale. While there are increasing returns or as the cost of producing an additional unit of product is reduced with the increase of production economies of scale.

This concept was developed by the neoclassical economist Alfred Marshall who took items from the marginalist school and developed by David Ricardo set out to form the so-called neoclassical school of economics.

Marshall divided the internal economies of scale calls, which occur when a company reduces unit costs as production increases total and external that occur when a sector industry expands in a manner that determine a reduction in the cost of all industrial companies. This may be the effect of improved road infrastructure for example.

Is 5.2 Blood Sugar Good

Zp Persian Market


Permanence like a lost soul of Zp at the Moncloa Palace is leaving us very dear to the English, Zp once again has given up the Catalan nationalism, this time led by Artur Mas, allowing a new debt issue Catalan. All with the added problem that the new items Montilla government debt, known a few days ago, Cataluña exceeds the limit of budget deficit of 2.4% of GDP this year. Target set by the English government to fulfill its promise of reducing the deficit in 2010 to its European partners.

In exchange for this new economic failure on the part of the government of Zp, this ensures the votes in Congress eye CIU but only on measures to promote employment ... This will believe them, because tomorrow we all know to continue to ask ...

We are accustomed to this marketing Persian where what prevails is the bargaining of votes for many years, but what we can afford is a new discrimination by our government in Madrid region, in this case mine.

Just over a month the government of the Region of Murcia applied for approval to the Ministry of Finance of the issuance of 700 million in regional debt to solve the serious problems in its treasury.

Although Murcia had a debt ratio of 7.4%, the sixth lowest percentage of all regions, the central government refused to issue to consider only the information deficit this year, and Murcia exceeded the limit, reaching 3.12%, the second highest.

As a stopgap measure, approved a cost reduction in various regional corporations and a further reduction in wages to staff, changes in work schedules, and acceptance of shipments, in order to achieve a saving of 300 million euros.

These measures do have a response by the unseen political unions with previous measurements of the central government, becoming a continuing source of tension, known to all, but which have been forced to meet the deficit targets set by Madrid.

Today Murcia once again, we found that the Socialist Spain we are all equal, the rules are for one another's compliance, and others the jump with the consent of those who enacted, politicians depend Murcia that discrimination does not continue any longer, we let the haggling and all pay the same price .

WHAT HAPPENS IN EGYPT

By: Felipe Argote


To find the current situation in Egypt should do some history. Recent history course. Although the mention of Egypt causes write about the pyramids, the pharaohs and the impressive buildings that say little aware they were built by aliens. But on this subject I refer to my article: The Pyramids of Egypt.

Http://elblogdefelipeargote.blogspot.com/2010/02/las-piramides-de-egipto.html

Gamal Abdel Naser
go back to less remote past. In 1952 a military movement calling itself the Free Officers Movement gives a blow to King Faruq I and proclaimed the Arab Republic of Egypt. This revolution is led among others by Gamal Abdel Nasser. In 1956 Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal. From there along with Josip Broz Tito of the former Yugoslavia and Sri Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru of India lead the Non-Aligned Movement who claim to be equidistant the bloc of former Soviet Union on one side and the United States of America on the other.

Nasser held power until his death from a heart attack in 1970. What happens at that time Vice President of Egypt Anwar Sadat. While Nasser tended more toward the Soviet bloc Sadat was associated more with the United States until her death in October 1981 when in the midst of a pompous military parade, a group of soldiers turned their guns toward the presidential box and shot President who died of multiple gunshots.

Anwar Sadat Assassination
Anwar Sadat was succeeded by Hosni Mubarak, who continues the policy of his predecessor and undemocratic control of the election. Until 2005 did not allow the participation of any other candidate in the presidential campaign is not the ruling party. Thirty long years have passed since Mubarak took power when lifting the first storm of change in the legendary and mythical country for more than three thousand years built the first step pyramids.

The movement for change and the departure of Mubarak began in earnest in neighboring Tunisia the other side of Libya, who occupies the western border of the Pharaohs. It was in Tunisia where in the eighth century BC came the legendary city of Carthage, where after three Homeric wars the Romans managed to conquer the legendary Hannibal, considered the greatest military strategist of all time. Tunisia was a French colony until 1956.

Falls Tunisian President
Alli Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali President of Tunisia won the election in 1989 to 99.27% \u200b\u200bof the vote, almost unanimously by the official count, then in 2004 was re-elected with 99.91% of the vote. Interesting place a few votes against this country of 10 million inhabitants. Due to its enormous popularity changed the constitution to allow re-election again. In 2009 he won with 87% of the votes

All change on 14 December when a young man enters the scene 24 years, Mohamed Bouazizi, with computer education that given the high unemployment level was up living by selling vegetables. Your basket of vegetables was confiscated by police. Desperate Mohamed appeared before the council in protest and sprayed gasoline and blew himself up in the middle of the street. He did not die immediately. It was not until 5 December when doctors decreed his death, but from day began protests in solidarity with the murdered young man, which were growing and multiplying then his death.

January 14 on national television President Ben Ali appears on national television to show his sympathy with the relatives of the slain youth. His speech was considered untimely and insincere. The next day tens of thousands of people took to the streets to cry out, out!. That same afternoon, the president fled the country to Saudi Arabia.

Your Account both inside and outside Tunisia have been frozen, 33 of his relatives were arrested for corruption and the former president is accused of illicit enrichment.

As a tsunami wave came to Egypt. Just weeks after tens of thousands and then more than a million protesters have occupied the Tahrir Square in Cairo.

On Friday 29 January, called the "Day of Rage", a week after more than a million people have moved to the "Day of Farewell." While the government has called a curfew and ordered to the population to abandon the square of the congregation Tahir have refused to go under the cry of "! There we go, you go! ". The fall of Mubarak is a matter of hours or days or months rather than semes. The question is whether he will be with Vice President and National Democratic Party before the Arab Socialist Union in power since the coup that ended with King Farouk I in 1956, or if the regime survives again after changing faces as happened after the death of Nasser in 1970 and the assassination of Sadat in 1981.
