The Stability and Growth Pact: Pros and Cons 1. Introduction Adopted in 1997‚ the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) of the European Union (EU) has been subject to myriad criticisms‚ which have questioned its effectiveness and sustainability. This paper starts by describing the rationale behind its origination. Section 3 communicates its structure. Section 4 examines the reasons for its reform.

real objects but eventually they become abstract ideas. It is one of the most abstract concepts that the human mind has encountered. No physical aspects of objects can ever suggest the idea of number. The ability to count‚ to compute‚ and to use numerical relationships are among the most significant among human achievements. The concept of number is not the contribution of a single individual but is the product of a gradual‚ social evolution. The number system which has been created over thousands

A. 1. The ACL Benford command counts the times each digit or digit combination occurs in a data set and makes a comparison between actual count and expected count. The output of the command is showed in a graph and includes Z-statistic for each count to help evaluate the significance of deviation between actual and expected counts. 2. The use of Benford command provides auditors and other data analysts caution on that there are possible anomalies in large data sets which deserve further analysis

assistive in learning. There were two large pieces I changed in the program. The first change I made was adding math problems to the program. There are now three levels to each number‚ easy (shows the hand gesture as well as the digit)‚ medium (shows only the digit)‚ and hard (gives you a math equation to solve). The equation it gives is fairly simple (equivalent to 2-1 or 4+5). As the program continues the numbers rise from 0 to 9. All numbers in the equations (and their answers) are numbers

This means we can forget about the integral part and concentrate on converting the fractional part. Some decimal fractions may convert into binary exactly (like .5625) but others may not (like .5624) and we may get an infinite number of binary digits in the binary fraction. One way of converting a decimal fraction to binary fraction is to first multiply it by a power of 2 so that it becomes an integral number‚ then convert to binary and then divide by the same power of 2 (which now just means
