Hi all, I really appreciate your time. Here's the issue:

Myself and my girlfriend are together for the last 15 months. I am 22 and she is 20. Everything is pretty good. BUT today my girlfriend's best friend Emma rang her and told her that her and her bf had split up and will not be getting back together. It seems as though all of a sudden now Emma wants more of my gf's time compared to when she was with her bf and never made the effort to travel upto Galway to seem my gf( Galway is where me and my gf are both in college). Not that I've a problem about her wanting to spend more time together.

She started saying stuff to my gf like "Oh I was talking to my lecturer and she said to me that I should head out to California for 3 months of the summer and that these are the golden years to enjoy yourself etc...". Emma is keen on the idea of heading to Califronia for the summer(We are all from Ireland). She then said she'd love if my girlfriend would come with her. Then she asked my girlfriend how our relationship was doing? My girlfriend said our relationship was fantastic and that things are going well and even told Emma about a cute thing I did for her recently.

It's just the following that really annoyed me: OUT OF NOWHERE Emma then brought up a big fight that me and my girlfriend had 7 months ago and said "that was a terrible fight wasn't it". A fight that took a while to get past. I thought this was TOTALLY DISRESPECTFUL TO OUR RELATIONSHIP AND VERY INAPPROPRIATE, VERY CHILDISH AND SELFISH. I mean, isn't a best friend supposed to be looking out for the other person's happiness and making them happy???

I'm just wondering what are your opinions on this and what are your opinions of Emma? Why do you think she brought this big fight up in conversation with my girlfriend??? I know why! You'd want to be braindead if you couldn't work it out!!! But my gf doesn't really see it my way and I want to show her all of YOUR neutralist opinions so that maybe she will see CLEARLY then!!! This has really annoyed me and especially the fact that my gf doesn't see it my way! Detailed & genuine responses will be very much appreciated! TOP ANSWER GETS 10 POINTS!!! :)

I want to add that my ONLY issue here is Emma bringing up a big fight that my and my gf had 7 months ago OUT OF NOWHERE very innappropriately! Why do you think she mentioned the fight to my gf and what do you think of Emma doing this???

Ok. So me and my girlfriend have been going out for nearly a year. We both live away from home and live in the same city. We don't live together as we are in different universities both we only live like 20 mins apart. We spend time together and less often we do our own things etc...However, today she told me that she was having drinks and a small party in hers on Wednesday night and she's having some college friends over. She's having this as she hasn't been drinking with her college friends within the last 10 weeks since she started second year. I said that I would come over as none of my friends are hitting the town that night and I have nobody to party with, also it would give me a chance to get to know some of her friends(I DON'T REALLY KNOW ANY OF HER FRIENDS YET SHE HAS BEEN PARTYING AND DRINKING WITH ME AND MY FRIENDS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS). So I thought it would be nice to get to talk to them for once and have fun with my gf also. HOWEVER, she then started saying that "oh I don't want to be mean but it's a bonding session" and "I havent been out with them in a good while". BUT, she speaks to most of them during the week in college and what is the problem if I'm there??? Like, my presence is not going to get in the way of a bonding session with her college friends and I'm sure they would like to get to talk to me for the first time! I need to point out that we are not clingy and we go out without each other on other nights but I genuinely don't have anyone to drink or party with on Wednesday and she's acting kind of crazy about the idea of me coming over and saying "DO NOT COME OVER". Am I in the wrong or is she being a horrible girlfriend because that's what I think! ANY OPINIONS OR THOUGHTS ON THIS MATTER??? Especially female opinions!!! Thanks very much for your time! :)

I have a girlfriend from college for the last 8 months, we both live away from home when in college so we can stay in each others' places. HOWEVER, she is visiting my house(my actual home) for the first time and meeting my family for the first time. My father said she is not allowed stay in my bed, my mother doesn't mind at all! I have an 18 year old sister who is very mature and 2 younger brothers who are 12 and 14. My father says it would set a bad example and got angry when I questioned him. However, I think it's just the thought the we'd have sex under hos roof that gets to him the most! What are your opinions on (1) his opinion, (2) my opinion(of his opinion) and (3) IS THERE ANYTHING/TRICK/METHOD that I could use or say to PERSUADE him to let her stay in my bed. (Me and my mother are close, I could ask her to say something to him to persuade him, but what???) PLEASE HELP! NIGHTMARE SITUATON! Because we havent seen each other in 5 weeks and lying in bed together is what we most enjoy!!! 10 points for best answer! I will really appreciate your opinion and advice to try and persuade my father. :)

So say if I comment on my friend's photo "You are looking hot"......but then I delete it 10 mins later....And she logs on a few hours later.....Will she get a notification from my comment or does the notification disappear??? If the notification does not disappear, when she clicks on her notification, will the comment be visible on her actual notification??? I want to know for sure. So if you're not entirely sure don't answer my question! :) If you are certain of the answer, your help would be much appreciated. :)

My and my friend are entering a competition where we are requested to brainstorm and create/innovate a product or service that would help a business with a particular problem they have so that the work in their business can be done faster, better and at a higher quality. Any ideas??? It would be greatly appreciated. No sarcastic/negative answers wanted!!!

What methods would be used to find suitable candidates for these positions? Thanks.

A Keynesian model of the closed economy is described by the following equations

Y = C + I + G

where

C = bYd

Yd = Y + TR – T

TR = TR bar

T = T bar

I = I bar

G = G bar

(a) Derive, from first principles, the equilibrium level of income.

(b) Derive the Keynesian expenditure multiplier.

(c) If T = tY, derive the equilibrium level of income.

The following equations describe an economy

C = 0.8Yd

I = 220 – 25i

G bar = 440

TR bar = 150

T = .2Y

L = .1Y – 3i

M bar/P bar = 120

(a) Define the IS curve. Using the above data, derive the equation for the IS curve.

(b) What is the general equation for the LM curve? In this example, what is the equation for the LM curve?

(c) Calculate the equilibrium level of income and interest rates.

Suppose we have an economy described by the following functions:

C= 50+.8YD

I bar= 70

G bar= 200

TR bar= 100

t= .20

(a)(i) Calculate the equilibrium level of income and (ii)the multiplier in this model.

(b) Calculate the budget surplus, BS.

(c) Suppose that t increases to .25. (i)What is the new equilibrium income? (ii)And the new multiplier?

(d) (i)Calculate the change in budget surplus. (ii)Would you expect the changes in the surplus to be more or less if C= .9 rather than .8?

(e) Can you explain why the multiplier is 1 when t=1?

Suppose the consumption function is given by C=100+.8Y, while investment is given by I=50.

(a) What is the equilibrium level of income in this case?

(b) What is the level of saving in equilibrium?

(c) If, for some reason, output is at the level of 800, what will the level of involuntary inventory accumulation be?

(d) If I rises to 100, what will the effect be on the equilibrium income?

(e) What is the value of the multiplier, a(alpha), here?

Suppose an individual’s marginal rate of substitution is three croissants for one cup

of coffee at the present bundle of croissants and coffee she is consuming. If the

price of a cup of coffee is €1.00 and the price of a croissant is €1.50.

(a) is the consumer maximizing her welfare? (Why?/Why not?) and

(b) If not, how should she change her consumption?

Suppose that the inverse demand for a new drug is represented by the equation P =

100 – 2Q, where P is the price in euros per dose and Q is the annual output. Suppose

that only one firm produces this drug and that the marginal and average cost of each

dose is €20.

(i) What is the monopolist’s profit maximizing price and output? and

(ii) What is the

deadweight loss of the monopoly outcome relative to the competitive outcome?

Consider a monopolist with the following cost and demand conditions: P = 100-2Q

and C(Q) = 50+Qsquared

a. Determine the (i) profit-maximizing output, (ii) price and (iii) profits for this monopolist

Consider a firm that has a production function Q = L.K where L represents labour and K

represents capital

a. Suppose that the wage rate, W, = €1 and the rental rate of capital, r, = €1. Suppose

that the firm wants to produce 100 units of output. What combination of capital and

labour should the firm choose? What is the total cost of producing 100 units of

output?

b. Suppose that the wage rate, W, increases to €4 and the rental rate of capital, r, = €1.

Suppose that the firm still wants to produce 100 units of output. What combination of

capital and labour should the firm choose? What is the total cost of producing 100

units of output?
