1. Inflation is an increase in the average price level of the goods and services in the economy. The unexpected inflation will shrink income. The greater the rate of inflation the lower will be the quantity of goods and services that can be bought from the given nominal income. Nominal income does not measure the actual purchasing power, this is measured by real income. Real income is the actual number of dollars received adjusting to the change in the price level. If the CPI (Consumer Price Index) increases and the nominal income remains the same, the real income i.e. the purchasing power decreases. Thus the consumers can buy little from the same amount of income they had before inflation occurred. Inflation also affects the wealth and the interest rate. Inflation can benefit the wealth holders since the value of assets often increase faster than the rise in consumer price. On the other hand, those who do not have wealth may suffer since due to rise in assets faster than inflation, it becomes difficult to acquire wealth. Unexpected inflation may benefit the borrowers. The real interest rate is equals to nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate. If the inflation rate is 10% and the nominal interest rate is 5% then the real interest rate will be -5%. This means even though the nominal interest rate of 5% is paid, the actual purchasing power will fall by 5% since the inflation rate is 10%.
Authorities can assure the markets, consumers and producers that they will keep inflation low by firstly, making sure individuals and businesses does not spend money quickly to buy goods and services when inflation occurs in fear of paying more tomorrow. Secondly, making sure nominal interest rate does not increase with the increase in inflation otherwise this will make the payments of installments difficult. Thirdly, making sure wage-price spiral does not continue to a greater extent. And making sure the new factories, machinery and technological research are carried out. Also the government should not print money to pay bills which will rise prices frequently, sometimes increasing in minutes.

I want my kid to play soldier FIRST CLASS. He is 15. We have a big yard. There's no laws that say he can't shoot on our property.
I figure getting him this will not only make him really happy, but stick it in my lib neighbor's noses.
I also like this:

is it a turn off if you ask a girl what she likes to do when it comes to anything and she thinks for a while and then finally says "welll..i like math wayy more than history and english. math is so concrete its like you either get it right or you get it wrong its like a puzzle but then for english and history ill read it and then 5 minutes later ill forget all of it."

hes in his early 20s and im 18.

and if youre wondering why i gave such a random response, its because i couldve sworn that i talked about what i liked to do for fun earlier! but APParently, i guess he didnt get it!! and it hit me afterwards, after i already gave that weird math answer

I wrote down in my notes or biology that adrenaline is a protein. If it is a protein then it can't be a part of endocrine signaling which involves hormone. Protein can't enter the plasma membrane like steroid hormone. So is adrenaline made in the pituitary gland? and is it a protein or steroid?

I don't understand what is happening to my life. Last month I got fired from my job, this month my car breaks down and every guy that I try to open my heart to, treats me like a hooker and treats me good one minute and like crap the next.

I'm such a good person, not a perfect person, but I don't deserve all of this, at all. I don't understand why this is happening to me. I have never met anyone that has had all of this happen to them in a matter of months. My rent is due in 9 days, I have no money at all, no job, bills up to the ceiling and my family has financial problems of their own and can't help me at this time. I've heard the phrase "Sorry, I'm broke", more times than I can count and I don't know what the hell to do. Then when you turn around and want to make some fast money, doing something dancing or something, people want to judge you for that too. I just can't seem to win in this life.

Murtha said "they [the Marines] killed innocent people. There’s no question in my mind about what happened here. There was no gunfire. They killed four people in a taxi and then in addition to that, they went into the rooms and killed them." Now the facts are out, and it turns out that the Marines did nothing wrong. Should Murtha apologize for accusing them of murder ?

If so, do you think it's natural, man made, or a bunch of B.S.?

I think we're doing it to ourselves, by the way.
