This document contains 3 summaries of house price data:
1) US house price indices like the S&P Case-Shiller Index and measures of unemployment from 2000-2015, showing house prices peaked in 2005-2006 and have yet to fully recover.
2) Plans to also include house price data from Eurozone countries like Germany at a later time.
3) House price data from a local market in eastern Germany from 1998-2015, which peaked in 2008 after incentives were removed and during the financial crisis, and has slowly increased since.
The family share of funding for public higher education in Virginia increased from 34% in 2000 to 45% in 2011, while the state share decreased from 66% to 55%. This shift places a greater financial burden on students and their families. It comes at a time when the total cost of attendance, including both educational and non-educational fees, has been rising steadily for in-state students. Fees can lack transparency and transparency, potentially misleading families regarding the true costs of college.
Fraudsters attack even natural disasters victimsCris Longers
This document discusses various fraud schemes that target victims of natural disasters. It notes that scammers often set up fake charities after disasters to take advantage of people's generosity. Some common scams mentioned include email phishing scams, door-to-door solicitors who claim to offer help but steal money instead, and fraudulent requests for donations with no records of where funds go. The document advises people to be wary of unsolicited requests for money and to only donate to reputable, established charities.

2007* Airline Marketing Embraer Day 2007Embraer RI
This document summarizes an Embraer Day 2007 presentation on the airline market and Embraer programs for aircraft in the 30-120 seat segment. It includes the following key points:
1) The air transport industry has seen strong demand growth in recent years and is projected to continue growing. However, airlines have had to work hard to reduce costs to offset rising fuel prices.
2) The regional jet market served by Embraer's ERJ145 family and the 70-120 seat market served by Embraer's E-Jets have both evolved in recent years.
3) Projections show the airline industry as a whole and most regions are expected to have positive net results in 2007 and 2008
The document summarizes TriMet's projected budget shortfalls and need to reduce service levels due to rising costs and stagnant revenues. It shows growing deficits from $19 million in 2017 to $200 million by 2030 if nothing changes. Without action, service cuts of 34% by 2020 and 70% by 2025 would be required. Healthcare costs are a major driver, increasing from 12% to an unsustainable 28% of payroll tax revenues, and projected to exceed 42% within five years. The current offer aims to delay cuts by reducing these cost increases.

Carl Emmerson: The outlook for NHS funding to 2021/22Nuffield Trust
This document summarizes projections for NHS funding in England over the next decade based on analysis by Carl Emmerson and Rowena Crawford. It finds that the planned 4-year freeze in NHS funding from 2010-2015 would be the tightest period in the last 50 years. Public service spending growth is projected to average 1.1% annually from 2015-2022, or just 0.4% if economic conditions worsen. Maintaining NHS spending in line with national income growth would not keep up with costs of an aging population, requiring increased NHS productivity to close the gap between funding and demand pressures.
The document discusses recent trends and the current context for renewables. It notes that growth in wind and solar continued in 2011 despite economic uncertainty. However, total electricity demand in 2011 was still below 2007 levels in OECD countries. The current context presents both opportunities and challenges for renewables due to issues like uncertain economic recovery, geopolitical instability, and high oil prices. The impacts of this situation on renewables development depend on the robustness of supportive policy frameworks in each country.

The Economic Outlook for Distribution: Preparing for RecoveryAdam Fein
The document summarizes the current economic outlook for distribution and provides guidance for preparing for the economic recovery. Key points include:
- The recession may be near its bottom, but significant economic volatility is expected during the coming recovery. Some distributors will not survive while stronger ones will be more productive.
- Core wholesale distribution sectors face a poor 2009 outlook but are on track to recover in 2010. Customers will increasingly adopt supply chain programs.
- While job losses have been severe, initial unemployment claims and consumer confidence are stabilizing after hitting historic lows, suggesting the worst is past. However, volatility remains.
The document describes a methodology for using Google Trends search volume data to predict present economic activity levels based on past search data. It outlines using Google Trends category and query data matched to economic indicators like retail sales, automotive sales, home sales, and travel. A statistical model is presented and an example is shown predicting Ford vehicle sales based on past sales and Google Trends automotive search volume. The model including Google Trends data had slightly lower forecast errors, indicating search data can help predict current economic indicators before official reports are released.
The document outlines the typical life cycle stages of a new business:
1) Invention - where opportunities are identified and intellectual property is protected.
2) Start-up - the most difficult stage to survive which requires a sound business plan.
3) Growth - where a business works to become profitable and compete in its market.
4) Maturity - when a stable business looks to expand or develop an exit strategy.
5) Harvest - the final stage where a business aims to profit from prior efforts or risks failure.
Disinflation momentum continues…
Consumer Price Index (CPI, 2005=100) moderated further in Mar ’09 to 3.5% YoY (Maybank IB estimate: 3.7% YoY; Consensus estimate: 3.6% YoY) from 3.7% YoY in Feb 09 and the peak of 8.5% YoY in Jul-Aug ‘08. This marked the seventh consecutive month of disinflation. MoM, inflation rate was down by 0.2%, the sixth sequential drop over the past seven months. Led by “disinflation” in Food and Non Alcoholic Beverages (FNAB) prices and “deflation” in Transport costs... The YoY increase in FNAB prices slowed for the sixth straight month while Transport costs declined for the fourth month in a row. Both account for 47.3% of CPI’s basket of goods and services and ¾ of last month inflation rate. There were no significant movements or notable changes in the price trends of other goods and services. Consequently, our measure of CPI ex-FNAB and Transport was little changed at 2.1% YoY last month compared with 2.2% YoY in the preceding month. Technical deflation is on the card as % YoY monthly inflation rate may turn negative between mid-year up to late-3Q09 or early-4Q09 due to the high-base from last year’s sharp hike in fuel and energy prices, as well as taking cue from the producer price index (PPI) which has turned negative since Nov ‘08. Therefore, maintaining our 2009 and 2010 inflation rate forecasts of 1% and 1.5% respectively, which is a marked deceleration from 5.4% in 2008 amid the environment of global/local economic downturn and lower commodity prices. Year-to-date inflation rate is 3.7%.

Religious situation in germany after the reformation 1525genauer
After the Protestant Reformation in 1525, Germany was overwhelmingly Lutheran, with some areas following other Protestant faiths like Calvinism or Anabaptism. Catholicism remained strongest in southern Germany. By 1600, Lutheranism had spread even further, though Catholicism still had a presence concentrated in the south. This provides context on the religious landscape in Germany following the Reformation, as compared to the widespread Roman Catholic rule across Europe in earlier centuries.

Private debt in many developed nations hit 130% of GDP by mid-2007, reflecting growing concerns about high levels of borrowing by households and corporations. Private sector borrowing accelerated in the years leading up to the global financial crisis, fueling economic growth but also increasing vulnerability if credit conditions tightened or the economy slowed. When the crisis hit in 2008, high private debt loads exacerbated its impact and prolonged the recession in many countries.
