Which three important events in the story should be included in its summary?
adapted from The Glass Axe
by Andrew Lang
There was once upon a time King and Queen who had everything they could possibly wish for in this world except a child. At last, after
twelve years, the Queen gave birth to son; but she did not live long to enjoy her happiness, for on the following day she died. But before her
death she called her husband to her and said. Never let the child put his feet on the ground, for as soon as he does so he will fall into the power
of a wicked Fairy, who will do him much harm. And these were the last words the poor Queen spoke.
The boy throve and grew big, and when he was too heavy for his nurse to carry, a chair was made for him on little wheels, in which he could
wander through the palace gardens without help; at other times he was carried about on a litter, and he was always carefully watched and
guarded for fear he should at any time put his feet to the ground.
But as this sort of life was bad for his health, the doctors ordered him horse exercise, and he soon became ¿ first-rate rider, and used to go
out for long excursions on horseback, accompanied always by his father's stud-groom and a numerous retinue.
Every day he rode through the neighboring fields and woods, and always returned home in the evening safe and well.
this way many years
passed, and the Prince grew to manhood, and hardly anyone remembered the Queen's warning, though precautions were still taken, more from
use and wont than for any other reason. One day the Prince and his suite went out for ride in a wood where his father sometimes held a hunt.
Their way led through a stream whose banks were overgrown with thick brushwood. Just as the horsemen were about to ford the river, a hare,
startled by the sound of the horses' hoofs, started up from the grass and ran towards
the thicket. The young Prince pursued the little creature,
and had almost overtaken it, when the girth of his saddle suddenly broke in two and he fell heavily to the ground No sooner had his foot
touched the earth than he disappeared before the eyes of the horrified courtiers. They sought for him far and near, b02all in vain, and they were
forced to recognize the power of the evil Fairy.
Hardly had the Prince touched the ground than he felt himself violently seized by an unseen power, and hurried away he knew not whither. A
whole new world stretched out before him, quite unlike the one he had left. A splendid castle surrounded by a huge lake was the abode of the
Fairy, and the only approach to it was over a bridge of clouds. On the other side of the lake high mountains rose up, and dark woods stretched
along the banks; over all hung a thick mist, and deep silence reigned everywhere. No sooner had the Fairy reached her own domain than she
made herself visible, and turning to the Prince she told him that unless he obeyed all her commands
down to the minutest detail he would be
severely punished. Then she gave him an axe made of glass, and bade him cross the bridge of clouds and go into the wood beyond and
down all the trees there before sunset. At the same time she cautioned him with many angry words agair

ECONOMICS: THE BIG PICTURE

Two Ways of Looking at the Economy

What are two major divisions in the field of economics?

Economics is a vast subject that can be studied and analyzed from a variety of viewpoints. Two of the most common divisions come under the headings of microeconomics and macroeconomics.

As you might infer from the micro in microeconomics, this view deals with "smaller" aspects of how the economy functions. A case in point is how individual companies conduct business.

Microeconomics also covers consumption of goods and services by households. Another viewpoint is macroeconomics—in economics, the big picture. As you read on, you will encounter some of the major topics that come under this rather broad heading.

Macroeconomics

This is, indeed, the big picture. Macroeconomics attempts to explain how and why the overall economy works. Instead of looking at how companies interact with each other and the government, it covers the most integral ingredients of the economy—a much broader view. This includes topics such as the Federal Reserve System, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, and unemployment.

The Federal Reserve System

In the United States, we live within a capitalist system. All capitalist societies have a central banking system. In the United States, this is called the Federal Reserve System. It is often referred to as the Fed.

Created in 1913, the Federal Reserve System consists of 12 districts, each of which has a Federal Reserve Bank. Seven governors, appointed by the US president to a 14-year term, sit on the Federal Reserve Board. The governors' terms overlap presidential terms, so the political influence is minimized.

The Fed controls monetary policy by setting short-term interest rates and by regulating how much money is in circulation. For example, if there is a need to put more life into the economy, the Fed will cut interest rates. Consumers and businesses will then spend more money. The Fed might also authorize the release of more dollars into circulation.

Gross Domestic Product

The Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, is a measuring stick for the output of the economy. It is the dollar figure for the total value of goods and services produced. On the consumer side of the economy, the GDP is goods and services. On the business side, it is investments and capital goods. The GDP is also a leading economic indicator. Economists often use it to evaluate the vitality of the overall economy. Because the purchasing power of the dollar varies from year to year, GDP figures are adjusted annually to take inflation into account.

Inflation

One of the trends the Fed watches is the value of money. If the dollar buys less and there is an increase in prices, then there will be an inflationary trend. This can lead to big economic trouble.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics is responsible for tracking prices of goods and services on a monthly basis. It prints a report called the Consumer Price Index (CPI) which compares prices from one month to another. The CPI is one tool economists use to monitor the strength of the dollar.

Unemployment

Another focal point for determining the state of the economy is the unemployment rate. This percentage is also monitored each month. A common misconception is that it is calculated based on a ratio of the number of people who are not working to the total number of jobs available. This is a very widespread misunderstanding about unemployment reporting. Actually, only unemployed individuals who are actively pursuing employment opportunities are counted as unemployed. A high unemployment rate signals the possibility of a recession.

This is just a glimpse into the world of macroeconomics. There are many more elements that comprise the universe of economics. We have tried to simplify the view of macroeconomics here. Many other books go into a much more complex approach. They may be your next step in discovering how the economy functions.

We are seeing a number of police departments and prosecutors take interest in these issues and really try to prevent them. . . .
So what kinds of things did they recommend? Number one, they talked about having checklists for investigations. And these are checklists that they recommended not simply for police and prosecutors, but also for defense lawyers, particularly when their defendant has an alibi. . . . If you can do that, you can stop some investigations earlier than others.
