Winter Lecture Series - 2009: Y-Worry? Generation Y's attitudes towards debt and money
Dr Lisa McNeil of Marketing investigates Generation Y. Generation Y is said to be the ‘want it now’ generation. A new study of consumption culture takes a closer look at the spending priorities of these young consumers and reveals that the very act of consumption is now integral to most of their social interactions, and fuelled by easy access to debt. But what implication does this have for society as Gen Ys grow older?

StereoCAD: Three Dimensional Representation
Concepts of stereoscopic vision have been around for more than two thousand years. Despite this long history, its application to the field to architecture and design seems relatively unexplored. Synthesis of two technologies, the stereoscope and the computer, was the focus of the present study. The goal of the research was to determine if computer-generated stereoscopic pairs hold value for architectural design. Using readily available computer technology (Apple Macintosh) the research team mode
1.4.2 Concepts of a good death The concept of a ‘good death’ is highly contentious. Definitions vary according to different historical and cultural contexts. At certain points in history there has existed formal teaching about the proper conduct of death and dying, perhaps the most noteworthy being the medieval books on ‘the art of dying well’. These were often illustrated with woodcuts showing angels and devils at the deathbed competing for the dying person’s soul. The accompanying inscriptions explain that God

2.3.7 New types of team In addition to the traditional types of teams or groups outlined above, recent years have seen the growth of interest in two other important types of team: 'self-managed teams' and 'self-organising teams'. During the 1990s many organisations in the UK became interested in notions of empowerment and, often as a consequence, set up self-managed or empowered teams.

This may have an effect on the efficiency of the individual reactions. For example, kinetic experiments have demonstrated that NO has a strong inhibiting effect on the rate of the reaction of CO with O2: Author(s): Five Reasons for the Weakness of the Argentine Economy Argentina has been “printing money for the people” MMT-style for many years. Its wrongly-called “inclusive monetary policy” of the past-print money to finance massive government spending- has driven the country to massive inflation and depression. This is the main reason why a country with an excellent education, human capital, and high economic potential has third-world inflation rates. Argentina inflation rose to 54% annualized last week. Bonds spreads soared to 854 Bp 2.1 Setting as antagonist Nothing happens nowhere. (Elizabeth Bowen, in Burroway, 2003)

Author(s): 4.1 Overview For a small country whose population has never been much in excess of five million, Scotland seems to have more than its fair share of famous men and women. Native Scots or those descended directly from them have been the recipients of some 11 per cent of all the Nobel Prizes that have been awarded. In this section of the OpenLearn Scotland collection, we look in detail at the lives and work of four great Scots: John Napier, James Clerk Maxwell, Robert Owen and David Hume.

It is a legal tool designed to allow the Community institutions to order that a measure be taken in an individual case. The decision therefore, unlike the regulation or directive, is of individual application, and is binding only upon the persons to whom it is addressed.
