![]() The relatively weak GDP effect in comparison with the production and consumption effects indicates that the shift from offline to online retail induces considerable welfare redistribution from retailing to other sectors and to households, more so than a production effect. Additional policy measures to facilitate cross-border e-commerce between EU Member States could add another 0.3% to household consumption and 0.04% to GDP, or 0.03% in the more conservative estimate. The combined macro-economic effect of these transmission channels adds 0.14% to EU GDP. ![]() ![]() However, the resulting retail efficiency gains have a positive effect on production in other sectors (between 0.9 and 2.6%) and on household consumption (+1.07%). Increased price competition squeezes domestic retail price margins and has a negative output effect in that sector (-2.6%). We find that cross-bordere-commerce reduces trade costs compared to offline trade. We distinguish between cross-border and domestic trade costs effects. In Macroeconomics, everything depends on every things else. Macroeconomics analysis is based on General equilibrium analysis. Micro economics analysis is based on partial equilibrium analysis. We use survey data on cross-border e-commerce between EU Member States to estimate the implied cross-border trade cost reduction when consumers move from offline to online consumption as well as the implied costs of perceived regulatory barriers to e-commerce. Macroeconomics deals with allocation of resources in the economy as a whole. Contrary to the prevalent micro-economic partial equilibrium consumer modelling approach to e-commerce, we use a macro-economic general equilibrium model that brings together the impact on consumers as well as on producers. This paper examines the economic impact of a change in retail technology - the shift from offline to online shopping – and a change in policy – measures to reduce the barriers to online trade perceived by consumers and retailers.

Love simon cast season 211/21/2023 Watching the show’s second season, which dropped in full today, it’s a surprise and a relief to see Love, Victor embrace the possibilities of being on Hulu. It could be didactic, with lectures from Simon to Victor from afar, and yet vague about anything to do with sexual longing, which is, after all, a key aspect of coming out. Last year, the creators told me that was a “collective decision,” because they wanted “to do a show where 16-year-olds were behaving like 16-year-olds do,” which wasn’t the right fit for Disney’s kid–and–Baby Yoda–focused platform, though Disney+ was reportedly not happy about all the things that made Love, Victor’s first season interesting: “alcohol use, marital issues, and sexual exploration.” (Never mind that the sexual exploration on the show happened more among the straights.) Even if the creators insisted that the first season was what they wanted to make, when it came out on Hulu, you could still sense how the show was written for a Disney+ audience, which is to say, one younger and less familiar with gay worlds. Like a teen still trying to please his parents, the first version of Love, Victor looked as if it had buttoned up to survive its own production history: The first season was written and shot for Disney+, but then shuffled off to the more adult Hulu before it aired. Victor only experiments with kissing, and the season slowly builds to the moment he tells his parents he’s gay, as if the show couldn’t contain whatever complications would follow. But otherwise, Love, Victor tended to color within the lines in season one. Around its edges, you could glimpse a more interesting, messier show: There was an episode where Victor ran off to New York to see some real gay city life, the breakup of his parents’ marriage over adultery, and a scene where his love interest Benji admits to drinking and driving. In its framing, the show’s depiction of Victor’s coming out pushed against Love, Simon’s “Aw, wouldn’t it be nice to have Jennifer Garner as a supportive mom?” story line, giving him a more complicated relationship with his parents, and considering differences of race and class - but lightly, and in soft focus. Like the Nick Robinson–starring movie Love, Simon that preceded it, Love, Victor traded in neat, bright colors, and teachable moments, this time grafted onto the character of Victor, played by Michael Cimino, a younger student attending the same school as the movie’s protagonist (who regularly pops up in the show as Victor’s mentor in his coming-out journey). In its first season, Love, Victor was more of a frictionless enterprise, too. What I didn’t expect was that the show would be upfront about the actual mechanics of gay sex, so accustomed have I become to gay characters who live in a miraculous universe where body parts do not chafe. ![]() Victor’s nervous, his boyfriend doesn’t realize, some misunderstandings ensue, and then, eventually, get resolved - which, not to spoil an obvious but satisfying arc, does happen. Victor, 14 episodes into the YA series, is still a virgin, and the episode’s called “The Sex Cabin,” so I assumed I could guess the contours of the episode from there. So I was about as shocked as Victor, the show’s chirpy, newly out high-school protagonist, when he notices a squishy plastic cylinder lying on top of his more experienced boyfriend’s wallet when they go off to a cabin for the weekend. One thing I did not expect to see in the second season of Love, Victor was a bottle of lube. In the show, Andrew doesn't seem to realize his bad character traits, and asks Mia if he is a good person, to which she replies, "I think deep down you're a good guy, but I don't think that matters much if on the surface you're a total jerk."Īs season one progresses, he tries to become a better person.Note: There are light spoilers for Love, Victor season two below. ![]() He is originally jealous of Victor for wanting to join the Grizzlies, the school basketball team. Both Lake and Felix, has told him he is not funny and that only he is the one laughing. Usually considered your "typical bullying jock", Andrew is usually the one making fun of people and using insulting nicknames. He drives an expensive car and comes from a rich family. His father generally ignores him, but will show him off at important events. Andrew lives in Shady Creek and attends Creekwood High School and he is the captain of the basketball team, Grizzlies. Affinity designer vs illustrator 201711/21/2023 ![]() Most use Photoshop as a companion app, allowing them to add texture, shading, and make other tweaks that vector-based programs don’t typically do. If there is any program that could dethrone Illustrator, it would be Affinity Designer - but we’ll get to that.Īdobe Illustrator is the main software used by graphic designers across all geographies and skill levels. That’s not to say other programs can’t be just as good, it’s just that no other program has been good enough to shift the landscape of graphic design. Almost immediately, Illustrator claimed the throne as the #1 program for vector graphics and has yet to give up that spot. Illustrator, released by Adobe in 1988, is the world’s most popular graphic design software. That leads us to the programs we’re comparing today, as we discuss the vector-based design programs Affinity Designer vs Adobe Illustrator: What Is Adobe Illustrator? So, while raster-based programs like Photoshop are sometimes thought to be the go-to for graphic designers, this is actually a bit of a misconception. This means the file you create needs to be versatile and suitable for use in a variety of scenarios. This makes vector-based graphics perfect for graphic design because the work you create might be used for a website header one day and a t-shirt the next. Zoom in on a vector image, and you’ll notice that the lines you’ve drawn will adjust to the zoom and retain their quality indefinitely. If you zoom in very close on a pixel-based image, you’ll see the limitations of raster design when the individual pixels present themselves. Vector graphics, therefore, can be scaled up or down to any size without losing their quality. Raster graphics are designed on a large grid of tiny pixels (and therefore limited to the number of pixels in the canvas), vector graphics are designed on an infinitely scalable, mathematics-based canvas. ![]() Vector-based graphics aren’t like the pixel-based (called raster) designs that you’ve probably made in Photoshop or Procreate.

Classic yogi berra quotes deja vu11/21/2023 Less than 48 hours after the Nationals' center fielder uttered the words, they were indelibly woven into our lexicon.Īs the Harper dust settles, I got to wondering how things might have turned out if Yogi Berra played in an era of social media. Sports Blog for the Washington Post, recapped the boomerang effect of Harper's response. Then we used the quotation in all sorts of non-baseball contexts. Within hours, everywhere you turned on the internet, on Twitter and on Facebook, there was "That's a clown question, bro." First we learned about the quotation. You can see the video here, if you haven't already. The give-and-take was captured on video and posted by The Score the next day. Harper, who is Mormon and doesn't drink, looked askance at the reporter and said, "I'm not answering that. A reporter asked Harper, who's 19, whether he planned to have a celebratory beer, since the legal drinking age in Toronto is 18. ![]() ![]() I was thinking about Yogi Berra and his famous quips in the aftermath of Bryce Harper's "That's a clown question, bro." Harper's remark came in response to a reporter's question after the Nationals defeated the Blue Jays 4-2 on June 12 in Toronto. We use it in all sorts of contexts now, baseball and otherwise. The quotation was repeated enough, orally and in print, that eventually it became part of our everyday lexicon. Berra said it, someone wrote it down, and then reported the quotation. Berra supposedly said "It's like deja vu all over again" while watching Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris hit back-to-back home runs over and over again in the 1960s. Of course that's just one of many "Yogi-isms", quips from Yankee great Yogi Berra that seem nonsensical but perfectly capture an idea or emotion. ![]() I could be writing about stories describing a "toxic" Red Sox clubhouse, and the ensuing stories about the media getting it wrong just to build a poisonous narrative about Boston.īut I'm not writing about any of those things. I could be writing about umpire Jerry Layne getting hit in the head by the barrel of a broken bat, just a few years after Tyler Colvin, then with the Cubs, was impaled in the chest by a broken bat while running home from third base. I could be writing about Roy Oswalt pitching for a Texas team last night, but not the one with whom he pitched most of his career. With that kind of title, this post could go in many different directions. Battlestar galaga rom11/21/2023 ![]() When one of these enemies starts its dive, it will flip over and expose its vulnerable side, then flip over again and become invincible while it moves back up the screen, then flip one more time and finish its dive. Later in the game some enemies are equipped with armor that renders them invincible while in formation. Another type of enemy takes at least five hits to destroy, and it grows larger with each consecutive hit, making it both a larger target and allowing it to act as a shield to other enemies. These creatures take multiple hits to destroy in flight (just one hit in formation), and their main attack pattern is to move about halfway down the screen, stop, fire multiple shots at once, and then fly straight down off the bottom of the screen. Some enemies arrive in spherical "eggs" and emit a loud, high-pitched noise when hit. Others explode in a brilliant shower of fireworks when destroyed, and occasionally these enemies drop a small formation of much smaller enemies that "wiggle" their way down the screen. Some enemies now have the ability to combine into a much larger single enemy that takes multiple shots to destroy. The player can begin with one ship with two in reserve or start right out with a dual ship (but only one in reserve). ![]() The objective is to shoot all 40 enemies before they disappear, for a bonus of at least 10,000 points. Periodically the player encounters Challenging Stages, which are set to music and feature "dancing" enemies.
