Squid I love you forever . Thanks love.

Could someone PLEASE explain the Philips Curve to me (Macroeconomics)? My stupid eco. book explains it the complicated way, and I couldn't find a simple explanation online. Thanks!

I need simple chemistry help before I can complete my assignment and my braid died.

What is the chemical equation for KOH dissolving in water?

Your braid is dead? What will you do with your hair? (rimshot)

All simple salts dissolve in water. The best way to think about it is, "what makes up KOH?"

It's called Potassium Hydroxide, right? So there you go.

H2O
KOH ---> K+ + OH-

(except that the H2O should go above the yields arrow, IIRC)

Basically, as inflation increases, unemployment decreases. Also, vice-versa - as unemployment increases, inflation decreases (eventually leading to no employment and a crash in montary value.)

The Phillips curve does not adequately address the subject of "stagflation," where unemployment is high but inflation is also high (which should be impossible), unless you realize you can move move the curve along one of its two axes. This means that shocks to the system move the curve upwards or sideways, depending on where the shock comes from.

The Phillips curve is so tried-and-true that a lot of economic policies are based off of it, such as using inflationary methods, like slashing interest rates, to decrease unemployment.

omg.. I've ALWAYS wanted to make a topic like this on Idb.. I guess I'll start coming to PPT more often for this

This is just for general knowledge but what are those small appetizer-like snacks you serve at parties? H'odourves? Or something? I can't remember the spelling and I've been looking on the net, on Word and what not and I still can't find it.

Anyone know?

There's a couple. There's also canapes, which are bite-sized appetizers which can be served either hot or cold.

The spelling is hors d'oeuvres, by the way

Yeah. Hospitality student. So sue me ;P

One question: Why do any of you all have homework over Christmas Break?

Projects, exams, general knowledge, etc...

I don't know how anyone can't have homework over the Christmas break.

And thanks Alex! It was bothering me for a while!

I don't.

Well I'm talking about people more specifically in higher grades, i.e highschool and above.

I never had winter break assignments in high school nor in university. It depends on the area. For us, the semesters ended when winter break began, so there was never a way to present assignments (particularly in university when your schedule changes so drastically). Then again, I went to a school system that didn't even have summer reading assignments, which is supposed to be at least somewhat common, right?

Need a bit of calculus help. My solution key happened to lose the page I needed. >_<

Maximising Perimeter: What is the smallest perimeter possible for a rectangle whose area is 16 sq in, and what are its dimensions?

Now, I know there may be possible tricks in solving the question, but this chapter is applications of derivatives (groan). I'll need to show the full method.

If anyone can help me, thanks a lot! :)

I have holiday homework for the start of a new school year. They want us to be prepared or some rubbish >.>

I always get homework over the other 3 holidays, though. They're apparently not "holidays", but "term/semester breaks", and we're therefore meant to be studying.

...Though I don't get why they still refer to it as 'holiday homework'

Pretty sure the answer is 16, but I can't explain it.
