Main themes
The course combines empirical and theoretical approaches. It starts with a description of development indicators and a statistical/econometric analysis of the evolution of income disparities. Then, the theoretical part is based on the modern theory of growth. It reviews the earlier growth models of Har-rod-Domar and Solow. Based on these standard tools, the goal is to introduce various ingredients generating poverty traps. Poverty traps means that history matters: poor countries remain poor while rich countries remain rich. Theoretically, these traps are linked to the existence of multiple long-run equilibria. Among these mechanisms generating multiplicity, we include technological spillovers (at the macro and micro levels), agents' expectations, liquidity constraints, and endogenous quality of institutions. From year to year, some special issues will also be covered, such as brain drain and human capital, endogenous fertility, effectiveness of international aid, economic effects of AIDS, etc.
The goal of this course is to analyze the factors governing the evolution of income inequality across nations. In particular, we will study inequality between industrialized and the least developed countries. At the end, stu-dents are expected to be able to rigorously address the following issues: - How to quantify inequality across nations? - How did income disparities evolve in the past? - Are developing countries blocked in poverty traps and why? - What can we expect for the future? - What are the policy recommendations if one aims at reducing income disparities? Students will handle various data sets on developed and developing countries. Data will be used to empirically assess the relevance of theories and to simulate the impact of policy reforms
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled "Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit".
The course relies on ex-cathedra readings. The professor will present the theoretical and empirical tools which can be used to work with data and simulate models. Students are suggested to read some complementary refer-ences by themselves (reports of international institutions, books, articles). These additional references can be found in the general bibliography. Students are also recommended to solve practical exercises, i.e. theoretical exercises, numerical simulations and manipulation of data sets.

I initially called Charlie's Rooter Service (CRS) due to a sewer line backup. Lulu answered and was very nice. She set up the appointment and Luis arrived on time and was also very friendly. He pulled out the largest root structure (out of my pipe) either of us had ever seen. We had a good laugh. He called it the catch of the day and had me take a picture of him with it.
Much of the plumbing work in populated areas is regulated by government or quasi-government agencies due to the direct impact on the public's health, safety, and welfare. Plumbing installation and repair work on residences and other buildings generally must be done according to plumbing and building codes to protect the inhabitants of the buildings and to ensure safe, quality construction to future buyers. If permits are required for work, plumbing contractors typically secure them from the authorities on behalf of home or building owners.[citation needed]
Mounted under the sink, the garbage disposal is meant for chopping up small bits of waste food. When switched on the motor spins and impellers — also called lugs — throw bits of food against a grinder ring. You should always run water while using the garbage disposal; once the garbage disposal does its job, the water flushes the finely chopped particles down the drain.

Kevin was very professional and personable in his interactions with us and his explanations of the cause and possible problems were right on! He had a young woman working with him who is his apprentice and she was a delightful individual as well. Both my wife and I are retired educators, and we were impressed with Kevin's patience and ability to convey what information she needed in order to perform her tasks in a satisfactory way.read more
Apache Junction Ac Repair experts are well aware of the issues an AC faces. It is a heavy machine. This is why it requires regular maintenance. If you want the best performance, you need to take regular care. Issue and faults with ACs are common. It is also reasonable considering that they are on almost the entire day. When an issue comes up, you need a permanent solution. A permanent solution is only known by an expert AC repairer. While finding such a repairer is an uphill task, you have come to the right place – Apache Junction Ac Repair.
Galvanized steel potable water supply and distribution pipes are commonly found with nominal pipe sizes from 3⁄8 inch (9.5 mm) to 2 inches (51 mm). It is rarely used today for new construction residential plumbing. Steel pipe has National Pipe Thread (NPT) standard tapered male threads, which connect with female tapered threads on elbows, tees, couplers, valves, and other fittings. Galvanized steel (often known simply as "galv" or "iron" in the plumbing trade) is relatively expensive, and difficult to work with due to weight and requirement of a pipe threader. It remains in common use for repair of existing "galv" systems and to satisfy building code non-combustibility requirements typically found in hotels, apartment buildings and other commercial applications. It is also extremely durable and resistant to mechanical abuse. Black lacquered steel pipe is the most widely used pipe material for fire sprinklers and natural gas.
Average Americans work well into their 60s, so workers might as well have a job that's enjoyable and a career that's fulfilling. A job with a low stress level, good work-life balance and solid prospects to improve, get promoted and earn a higher salary would make many employees happy. Here's how Plumbers job satisfaction is rated in terms of upward mobility, stress level and flexibility.
Elek has always been a pleasant and affordable experience for me. From the first call in to Mary-Beth all the way to the reliably quick tech visit from Scott and first estimate. Every tech I've had come to my house has been personable and knowledgeable, offering more than one option for fixes in most cases. I will be using Elek for the foreseeable future, thanks!read more
Cast iron and ductile iron pipe was long a lower-cost alternative to copper, before the advent of durable plastic materials but special non-conductive fittings must be used where transitions are to be made to other metallic pipes, except for terminal fittings, in order to avoid corrosion owing to electrochemical reactions between dissimilar metals (see galvanic cell).[17]
With experience and expertise, your local plumbers will be able to inspect your plumbing repairs and fixtures and identify where any problems may have originated. With the right tools on hand, they'll be able to fix the problem, right there and then. If your water heater has triggered a full-blown flood, they'll know exactly how and where to shut off the water supply. Should the flood be the result of a burst pipe, they'll be able to change it before it can do any additional damage. Expert, cheap, and local plumbers know a lot about their craft that we do not, and the Handy platform gives you the opportunity to book them and benefit from their knowledge and ability.
"Central Penn Plumbing provided outstanding customer service. On a cold winter Saturday morning, we woke up to a very cold house. I gave Central Penn (Scott) a call and within an hour he had a service technician at our house to address the issue. Not only did they resolve the issue on the weekend, but Scott stopped by later in the week to ensure that things were still ok. Outstanding customer service. Thanks Central Penn Plumbing Services!"
Seriously, I've done a lot of plumbing repairs, from installing sinks and fixtures, toilet replacement and repair, caulking and recaulking to replacing a garbage disposal. Probably the most frustrating thing I've encountered was needing a specialty tool for one repair; for me it was a basin wrench. Some hardware stores will loan tools, so it's worth it to find that out ahead of time.
I had 207 Plumbing come to fix a leak in my ceiling. It's a terrible, terrible company to do business with. He came and fixed a broken pipe in the ceiling, and I asked him to check the rest of the pipe to make sure that nothing else was broken, he said everything was OK and charged me $219.00 for 45 minutes and left. Never cleaned up his mess. I went to clean up the mess after he left and found there was more damage to the pipe. I called him to come back, which he did. He looked at the water coming down from the ceiling, into a light fixture and said he had another job to go to and couldn't come back until next week. He also wanted to charge me $350.00 to come back. I told him that was too much and he said he would make an exception and only charge me $219.00. Now I have major damage done to the ceiling, the light fixture and the floor. All of this could have been prevented if he had stayed and fixed the problem. I will NOT hire him again.

I had a leaky water heater, and Elek came to fix it within an hour of calling. I was offered multiple options, and the service technician helped me choose the best option. The technician worked quickly and cleanly. He left no evidence that he was in my home, other than a professionally installed, new water heater. I recommend Elek without any reservations.read more
I had an emergency at 12 am on a Sunday morning and I called to set up someone to come out. David M. got here very quick and fixed my sewer back up in the lower level in a reasonable amount of time.

With all the freezing weather our city has had, my dad had a problem with his water pipes and I told him to call BL plumbing service. From the first phone call he made, the company gave him the most remarkable customer service. The dispatcher promptly made an appointment for him and within a couple of hours 2 workers were at his home working on the problem and fixing his pipes! The workers were very kind, helpful and extremely courteous to my dad. Not only was the work done quickly, but also, the cost of the repair was more than fair. I am so grateful for the service that was given to my dad and I will highly recommend this company to anyone needing plumbing work.
The issue is same with plumbing work. Fixing taps and leakages is not easy. You cannot do plumbing work by yourself. This is different that electrician work in this aspect. Plumbing needs skills and equipment. Without them, one cannot fix the issue. If you have a problem with pipes or taps, you need a plumber. You also need him if you need to install new taps or geyser or such devices. But you have to ensure that the plumber that you hire is an expert. Finding such a plumber with skills is not easy in Apache Junction.
Need a plumber to add to your network? There is one name in Evansville you can count on for 24/7 emergency help: Bud's Plumbing & Repair Service!

My plumbing experience was to have the plumbing disconnected under the sink so the counter top and new sink could be installed. I thought the service of $115 was high, but usually if there is an additional fees, it is usually rolled into the cost of repairs or labor. This company also charged 3.75 % for putting it on a credit card, which was not mentioned until I received the invoice in the mail after paying on the phone.
You can beautify your kitchen, too, with our Sink Replacement or Faucet Replacement services, or add to the convenience and health of your water with our Hot Water Dispenser Installation service and Under-Sink Water Filtration Installation service, respectively. With our Garbage Disposal Installation service, you can make your kitchen more functional, as well as more beautiful.
PBT – flexible (usually gray or black) plastic pipe which is attached to barbed fittings and secured in place with a copper crimp ring. The primary manufacturer of PBT tubing and fittings was driven into bankruptcy by a class-action lawsuit over failures of this system.[citation needed] However, PB and PBT tubing has since returned to the market and codes, typically first for "exposed locations" such as risers.
Specialized plumbing tools include pipe wrenches, flaring pliers, pipe vise, pipe bending machine, pipe cutter, dies, and joining tools such as soldering torches and crimp tools. New tools have been developed to help plumbers fix problems more efficiently. For example, plumbers use video cameras for inspections of hidden leaks or problems, they use hydro jets, and high pressure hydraulic pumps connected to steel cables for trench-less sewer line replacement.

The NFC Championship Game has proven to be the hardest playoff hurdle for the Green Bay Packers to climb in the Aaron Rodgers era.
Only one quarterback in Green Bay Packers history (Frett Favre) has played in more NFC championship games than Aaron Rodgers, and that will change Sunday when Green Bay takes on the San Francisco 49ers.
No Packers quarterback as ever run into as much trouble in this postseason round.
Even in the one win the Rodgers-led Packers have had in a conference championship game, the 2010 showdown at the Chicago Bears, the best statistical passer in NFL history didn't have his best quality game.
Yes, he ran for the Packers' first score that day, but he threw two itnerceptions, one of which led to the most important play he ever made in a title game, a touchdown-saving tackle.
But the 2010 Packers had enough playmaking ability in other facets of their game to make up for it, the kind of quality that makes up a championship team. James Starks' running (74 yards and a touchdown), and the NFL's second-ranked scoring defense creating a turnover of their own for a B.J. Raji pick-six in the fourth quarter, gave the Packers a 21-14 win and a shot for Rodgers to make up for his bad day with a superb Super Bowl.
Which he did, with a Super Bowl MVP performance in a 31-25 win.
2014 NFC Championship Game at Seattle
Rodgers had another subpar day when the Packers went to Seattle to face the Seahawks in the 2014 title game. He only threw for 178 yards and again threw two picks, but his touchdown pass to Randall Cobb was enough to give Green Bay a 16-0 lead at halftime.
But then the defense and special teams collapsed in the final two minutes and nine seconds of regulation.
And even after Rodgers led a clutch drive to set the Packers up for a game-tying field goal, he never saw the ball in overtime.
The Seahawks scored with a Russell Wilson-to-Jermaine Kearse touchdown pass on the fifth quarter's only possession, and Seattle went to the Super Bowl instead, in perhaps the most painful loss in Packers history.
2016 NFC Championship Game at Atlanta
Two years later, Rodgers led a Packers team on an unlikely eight-game winning streak into Atlanta to battle the Falcons.
The battle was over early. The Falcons scored the game's first 31 points and obliterated Green Bay 44-21.
In total, Rodgers' passer rating in NFC title games is just 70.5 – nearly 32 points below his career regular season passer rating.
He may need to perform much better for his underdog Packers to go on the road and upset the 49ers, and give him a shot at his second Super Bowl title.

The spring from Hell
robport posted a topic in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)I have a limited pro and I finally decided I would polish the trigger bar, or whatever you call it. The trigger return spring took about two hours or more to put back in and I felt it was due to a lucky shot. There has got to be a better way. No one would ever design something like this. Does anyone know the secret to getting it back in? I finally cut off a .3 piece of a closely sized Allen wrench, used a hemostat to hold the spring while I pushed the rest of the wrench in from the other side through the trigger and spring through the slide stop hole. Then I pushed the Allen wrench out with the small piece replacing it from the other side. I then pushed the whole assembly down to the right location, then screamed for my son to come in the room and tap the roll pin in until the assembly was stable. Before I figured out to do that, I heard words coming out of my mouth (as the spring flew across the room numerous times) that must have been spawned in the very pits of hell. The dogs and wife came in to comfort me and the wife dragged me out to lunch...and even bought. How should you actually do it?
Upon disassembly last night....my trigger return spring decided that it had had enough of my constant shooting and chose to flee. The spring has aggravated me in the past...and, as far as I'm concerened...i'd rather never see it again! So....is goign to the henning flat trigger worth it? I don't shoot competitively...ever, I just plink at the range with some LRN handloads... The gun shoots WAY better than I'm capable of right now, and i don't want to loose that.

Be careful how your company presents and implements a "Zero Tolerance" policy.
Chicago's crackdown on party busses is likely to result in a lawsuit, according to one operator.
Chicago Cloud 9 Limo is among the 17 operators of party buses singled out by the city's Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection as "operating illegally."
On Friday, Cloud 9 Limo's owner, Dan Cosma, told LCT he and several other operators who he contends were wrongly accused plan to meet with a lawyer today for a possible class action against the city of Chicago. "The city failed to inform every one of these changes," Cosma told LCT. "They've done some updates in the ordinance and posted that on the website but the wording is vague. Anyone can interpret in their own way. They did it in a way that benefits them and allows them to write a lot of tickets. They're just leaving everyone up in the air confused about what they want us to do or change. I went to the city every day [last] week after the [news] reports came out, trying to reason with them and get them to somehow reconsider the names on that list. They need to figure out who actually is doing something illegal and who follows the rules. Two of the companies on the list don't even exist."

The results of a comparative idiotypic analysis of multiple Ig paraproteins isolated from the serum of an individual patient, Ca, with Sjögren's syndrome and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia are reported. At initial presentation, Ca serum was found to contain two major paraproteins, an IgMκ and an IgGκ, together with a small elevation in the level of IgA protein. The patient's clinical course was characterized by dramatic and opposing changes in the respective serum levels of the IgMκ and IgGκ paraproteins over an extended time period that coincided in part with received chemotherapy. Idiotypic antigenic analysis of the IgMκ and IgGκ paraproteins revealed that the two monotypic proteins shared identical idiotypic determinants. The Ca IgA serum fraction, specifically isolated by an immunoabsorbent and free of any IgG and IgM, was shown to possess idiotypic determinants identical to the IgG and IgM proteins. In extensive tests of specificity, the idiotypic determinants shared by Ca IgM, IgG, and IgA proteins were not present in large excesses of heterologous IgM and IgG, nor on Ig molecules contained in a large number of normal and myeloma sera.

The Junior Colt A hockey team hosted King's Taunton on Saturday. A few players down due to National Indoor Finals, we put out a strong 13 side squad. The boys went out strong, having only had one training session together, but unfortunately fell two goals behind fairly early after two incredible strikes from King's. Sherborne then got a short corner, in which neither umpire could confirm if the ball had crossed the line before it was saved or not. Due to this, a penalty stroke was then given. Charlie Westmacott stepped up and slotted it past the keeper, bringing the score to 2-1. Another two goals from King's and the half time score was 4-1. Many boys had ideas on how we could improve in the second half and we went out aiming to not just go down the middle and to get in front of our players more. The second half started with another goal from Charlie. Not long after, Nico Beeny scored two good goals. The score stood at a strong 4-4 draw for much of the game, but King's scored from a short corner with just a few minutes to go, ending the game 5-4. An excellent first performance from the JCAs.
Goals: Charlie W (2), Nico B (2)
Man of the match: Charlie W

1 Kings 22:17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 [a]So Micaiah said:
"I see all Israel
scattered on the mountains,
like sheep without a shepherd,
And the Lord saying,
These have no master!
Let each of them go back home in peace."
- 22:17 Micaiah's oracle uses the common ancient metaphor of "shepherd" for the king. It means that the Israelite forces will be left leaderless because the king (or perhaps both kings: the word "master" could be singular or plural in Hebrew) will die in battle.
Jeremiah 50:16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon
and those who wield sickles at harvest time!
Before the destroying sword,
all of them turn back to their own people,
all flee to their own land.(A)
Jeremiah 51:9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 "We have tried to heal Babylon,
but she cannot be healed.
Leave her, each of us must go to our own land."
The judgment against her reaches the heavens,
it touches the clouds.(A)

Our Magic Mountain – Quarantining America's Political Sickness
What is the connection between a lack of commitment to collective well-being and social disaster in a time of crisis?
Co-published by The Guardian
I don't know if I have had the coronavirus (COVID-19). What I do know is that I developed pneumonia two weeks after returning to Los Angeles in early February from a visit with my wife's family in Northern Italy.
I started feeling ill on a Friday — aches, chills and overall weakness. By Monday I was coughing. On Wednesday I was in urgent care – four days after reports that Northern Italy was experiencing a major outbreak of COVID-19. After an X-ray determined that I had pneumonia, I asked the attending doctor about being tested for COVID-19. She told me that it was "too expensive" to test everyone.
Why has it been so difficult for our government to give straight answers about the threat of COVID-19?
The next day my primary doctor informed me that the expense of testing was not the problem, but there was a more fundamental issue. As of late February, there were only 100 testing kits in Los Angeles County, he said. Because I didn't have a severe fever and I had not traveled to China, I did not meet the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for testing. He added that if he sent in a test sample it would be thrown away.
Co-published by The Guardian
During the ensuing weeks the world changed. Italy's death toll from COVID-19 has passed 1,800 and the country is on lockdown. President Trump has gone from calling the spread of the virus a "hoax" conjured up by devious Democrats to banning travel from Europe and declaring a national emergency. The CDC guidelines for testing seem to change daily, and promises of abundant testing kits offer belated and often false hope.
When I talk to my family and friends the first question they ask is, "Have you been tested?" When I respond, "It's complicated," their reaction is mostly anger and incomprehension. My emotions are the same. When Italy's COVID-19 cases expanded exponentially, I once more requested a test and was again turned away by the CDC and for the same reasons.
Conservatives who once said "government is the problem, not the solution" are now demanding the government act more forcefully.
I was treated with antibiotics for two weeks and the pneumonia disappeared. I'm one of the lucky ones—healthy of body with none of the "underlying" health conditions that have led to death for so many. I can only conclude that my experience of frustration, confusion and fear for my family is minor compared to the thousands of others who do not have the resources I have, including health insurance. Imagine people who are living on the streets or who have symptoms but are going untested and untreated for any number of other reasons.
Meanwhile, our president talks of how plummeting gasoline prices will be like a major "tax cut" due to the collapse of the oil market.
* * *
During my self-quarantine at home I took time to read and think about what our country and the world is going through. I started reading Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain, which is about a group of people in a sanatorium in Davos, Switzerland, on the eve of World War I. It's the perfect book for people living what the main character, Hans Castorp, calls "horizontal lives," wrapped in blankets and enduring the daily rituals of medical examinations.
The sanatorium residents suffer, Mann suggests, from a spiritual and moral "palsy" that evolves into physical ailments. Some seem seduced by the "attractions" of illness – its inwardness and self-obsession, characteristics of late 19th century bourgeois decadence. Referring to the culture and politics of pre-war Europe – Mann began the novel before World War I but finished it afterwards – the democratic socialist Michael Harrington once observed that Mann's patients were "sickened by history."
Americans are beginning to ask some fundamental questions about our society that might puncture our image as "the greatest country in the world."
Great literature poses great questions. If it is history and our politics that are making us sick, it is neither noble nor reasonable to believe that individuals fighting alone, like Hans Castorp, are the solution to what is a social problem.
As I was forced to deal with the barriers to my own health, it was apparent that COVID-19 is as much a "structural," political and economic problem as it is a battle to obtain an individual test. Millions are realizing the same thing. People all over America are beginning to ask some fundamental questions about our society that might puncture our self-flattering image as "the greatest country in the world."
Why is South Korea capable of quickly establishing a testing regime where tens of thousands are examined daily (and are even given a "drive through" option) without our excessive restrictions? Why does Germany have a system of regional testing laboratories that have saved lives due to quick and comprehensive testing for COVID-19? Why has it been so difficult for our government to give straight answers about the threat of COVID-19, and how could we be so monumentally incompetent in providing adequate access to testing? What is the connection between a lack of commitment to collective well-being and social disaster in a time of crisis?
Most important, how did we arrive at this situation? If our society is in some fundamental way sick, do we need a Thomas Mann to explore the depths and complexities of that disease?
The literary questions are interesting and offer an occasion for musing. But their answers can only be found through politics. That is why people should be asking every candidate during this election season what their approach to the expansion of health care is. Even conservatives, who may have embraced the idea that "government is the problem not the solution," are now demanding the government act more forcefully. These are, and always have been, questions of life and death.
I have no doubt that the doctors, nurses and staff that I came in contact with were working their hardest to provide the best care they could under trying circumstances. And these workers on the front lines are risking infection every day. In my communications with my doctor, he is asking the same questions I'm asking and expressing the same frustrations.
The best way to fight an individual illness is through a community of friends and family, and a robust health care system. The same is true of a political fight. We can't afford to stay "quarantined" in our homes from the political struggles ahead. Eventually our public spaces will again be ours to strengthen.

BS6 Renault Duster Launched At Rs 8.49 Lakh ex-showroom
Renault has launched the BS6 compliant Duster in India. As we reported earlier as well, they have pulled off the Diesel variants out of the market. The BS6 compliant Duster is only available with the petrol engine. Prices start from 8.49 lakh ex-showroom.
Renault has discontinued the 1.5-litre K9K diesel engine and now comes with only one engine option which is the 1.5-litre petrol. The petrol mill is good for 106 hp and 142 nm of torque and is mated to a 5-Speed manual gearbox. Apart from the diesel engine, Renault has also discontinued the all-wheel-drive and AMT versions. The BS6 compliant Renault Duster range could get the addition of a CVT version in the coming times
There are 3 trims on offer namely RXE, RXS and the top-spec RXZ variant. The prices of all the three variants have gone up as compared to their BS4 counterparts. The RXE now asks for a 50,000 bump in the price while the middle trim RXS is dearer by Rs 10,000. The RXZ variant is now priced at 9.99 lakh ex-showroom. Previously, the Duster was offered in 9 overall trims across the three engine options which were available earlier but now the number of trims has come down to only 3.
If you are looking for a more powerful iteration of the Duster, you might have to wait for some time as Renault has something up their sleeves. They showcased the BS6 compliant 1.3-litre four-cylinder turbo engine at the Auto Expo 2020. The performance figures from the aforementioned engine are pretty impressive as the turbo petrol is good for 156 hp and 250 NM of torque. The Duster has always been a practical, comfortable and efficient proposition but now that the Diesel engine is no longer available, the void will be hard to fill. We recently reviewed the 2020 Duster which came with the Diesel engine and absolutely loved its practicality. Next up in the queue for a BS6 update is the Captur, which will also become a petrol-only SUV like the Duster. On the other hand, the Triber AMT which was showcased at the Expo will be introduced in the coming months.
