Mundell is best known in politics for his support of tax cuts and supply side economics; however, among economists it is his work on currency areas and international exchange rates which caused him to be awarded the Bank of Sweden prize. Nevertheless, supply side economics featured prominently in his Bank of Sweden prize speech. In the 1960s Canada, of which Mundell is a native, floated its exchange - this caused Mundell to begin investigating the results of floating exchange rates, a phenomenon not widely seen since the 1930's "St ...

"People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming. But the generic city, the general urban condition, is happening everywhere, and just the fact that it occurs in such enormous quantities must mean that it's habitable. Architecture can't do anything that the culture doesn't. We all complain that we are confronted by urban environments that are completely similar. We say we want to cr ...

A fundamental technique used in public relations is to identify the target audience, and to tailor every message to appeal to that audience. An "audience" can be a general, nationwide or worldwide audience, but it is more often a segment of a population. Marketers often refer to economy-driven "demographics," such as "white males 18-49," but in public relations an audience is more fluid, being whoever someone wants to reach. For example, recen ...

The series juxtaposes two young, wealthy urban socialites, Paris Hilton, heir to the Hilton Hotel fortune, and her friend Nicole Richie, adopted daughter of singer Lionel Richie, with the people and the values of varied environments. Although the show might be compared to the 1965-1971 situation comedy "Green Acres", the show would later take these fish-out-of-water gals into other occupations... with disastrous Three Stooges-style results, stemming from the perception that the two women are out of touch with reality. The Penfifteen Club recorded one of the show's themes, ...

The program was originally The What The? Awards prior to the name change, but was quickly reformatted, renamed and refocused after low ratings and unflattering comparisons to VH1's competing Best Week Ever. The shows have some simliarites, but The Soup has managed to create its own unique niche with the one-host format and use of skits to skewer pop culture, along with the ability of the show to make fun of shows on its own network such as The Girls Next Door, Gastineau Girls and Taradise, whi ...

Constant themes show up throughout the series. Such themes include: Adam and Morgan's eternal hatred for card battle games such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, Japanese dating simulation games, the repetitiveness of the Dynasty Warriors and Mega Man series, and the glut of redundant World War II strategy and first-person shooter games on the market. Like the above, there is a constant hate (mostly by Adam) for the dreaded "escort mission" usually seen in first-person shooters where the player is forced to keep an NPC character, wh ...

WBFF began broadcasting on April 11, 1971. The station was started by Jullian Smith, under a company known as Commercial Radio Institute. At that time, it was an average American independent station, airing old sitcoms and movies. The call letters stand for "We're Baltimore's Finest Features," and come from the fact that the station aired mostly old movies when it first signed on the air. Alternatively, the call letters might derive from or Baltimore Forty Five, the UHF channel number it airs ...

Usually the movies begin innocuously, sometimes with a mundane image or even a simple game or quiz designed to keep the viewer's attention on the screen (such as the infamous "What's wrong with this picture?"). Sometimes the image is accompanied by audio which is kept at a deliberately low level, so as to persuade the viewer to turn up the volume on their computer. The image itself may be small to force the user to maximize their browser window. Another technique is to play a song, prompting the user to turn up the volume, with the lyrics of ...

(see main article celebrity culture) The modern mass media has increased the exposure and power of celebrity. Often, celebrity carries with it immense social capital that is highly sought-after by some individuals. High-paying jobs and other social perks unavailable to most people are readily extended to celebrities, even for work not connected to the talents or accomplishments that made them famous. For example, a retired athlete might receive high "speaking fees", or compensation for public appearanc ...

Pietersen was selected for the full England one-day side at the earliest opportunity, for the tour to Zimbabwe and South Africa in 2004/05. He played in three of the four one day games in Zimbabwe, scoring 47, 77 and 0 in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th one dayers as England won the series 4-0. Pietersen was then added to the one-day squad to face South Africa. With Andrew Flintoff withdrawing from the squad due to injury, Pietersen was looked at as a big-hitting replacement for the all-rounder, and claimed a place in the first team with 97 off 84 balls in the warm up match again ...

Professional artists usually lip sync while recording music videos. The technique of recording video clips consists of recording a film to pre-recorded music, so artists have to lip-sync to their songs (and often imitate playing musical instruments as well). Regarding new techniques in recording music videos, artists sometimes move their lips to music playing at different speed, or even backwards, to make unusual effects in the final clip. It is also common for singers to lip sync on live television, especially when making short guest ...
