Money Growth and Inflation

6′屏幕看PDF？用 eSlick。

用 eslick 好几天，还是爱不释手。 那天打开包装盒一看，不错，eSlick 比较 slim，拿出来放在我这中等大小的手中正好。 检查完配件是否齐全后，我就打开了eSlick，一张笑脸比较可爱。 屏幕不是特别特别白，但是显示效果对比度和锐度都不错。 菜单比较简单直接，没必要看Quick Start Guide 就知道怎么使用了。 打开 SD 菜单后，就看到屏幕上列出了SD卡上的几个 PDF 文件。 在阅读PDF时，“Fit to Content Width”是最常用的，这样就切除了页面中的白边，充分利用了屏幕资源。 对于排版较为简单的PDF文件，"Reflow"是个很实用的功能，经过Reflow，eslick重新编排了PDF中的段落使之充分适应屏幕，还可以制定文字大小。 mp3播放功能我也试了一下，音质过得去，这个功能也不是我买eslick想要的，不过既然有，看书时用用也不错。 当然，不得不提附带光盘中的两个程序 Foxit Reader Pro 和 PDF Creator，非常实用。在把其它文件转换成PDF时，我把纸张大小定制为 11.7 x 9 cm，这样在eSlick上就 Perfect 啦！ 还有一件事不得不提。福昕软件的几个工作人员服务态度非常不错，很乐意与顾客沟通，而且很有效率！[ 阅读全文]

Unemployment

The labor force is the total number of workers, including both the employed and the unemployed. The unemployment rate is the percentage of those who would like to work and do not have jobs. Frictional unemployment is inevitable simply because the economy is always changing. Unemployment insurance, while reducing the hardship of unemployment, increases the amount of frictional unemployment. The unemployment that results because the number of jobs available in some labor markets is insufficient to provide a job for everyone who wants one is called structural unemployment, which is often thought to explain longer spells of unemployment.

听吴敬琏教授讲课

昨天（2009年2月13日）下午，在管委会现代会堂有幸听到了吴敬琏教授的讲座，题目是《全球金融危机的由来和应对》。吴教授不愧是资深的经济学家，虽然年数已高、头发银亮、声音沙哑，但两个小时的讲座一气呵成，丝毫没有倦怠之意。同是金融危机的课题，郎咸平教授把它讲成一个故事（2008年12月13日），而吴教授则让我似乎又回到了大学的课堂。[ 阅读全文]
