From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. In a written work, an initial is a letter at the beginning of a work, a chapter or a paragraph that is larger than the rest of the text. The word comes from the Latin initialis, which means standing at the beginning. It is often several lines in height and in older books or manuscripts sometimes ornately decorated. In illuminated manuscripts, initials with images inside them, like those illustrated here, are known as historiated initials; they were an invention of the Insular art of the British Isles in the 8th century. Initials containing, typically, plant-form spirals with small figures of animals or men that do not represent a specific person or scene are known as "inhabited" initials. Certain important initials, such as the B of Beatus vir ... at the opening of Psalm 1 at the start of a vulgate Latin psalter, could occupy a whole page of a manuscript. These specific initials, in an illuminated manuscript, were also called Initiums. From Wikipedia under the

Suppose the gov t imposed a tax reduction in the amount of $100 billion, with no crowding out effect and an MPC of 2/3. What is the initial effect of the tax reduction on aggregate demand? What is the multiplied effect? Initial shift = Multiplied shift = Asked by mpp05074 - Thu Jul 30 09:55:38 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Marginal Propensity to Consume is 2/3. A tax cut will increase aggregate demand by $100 billion initially. However, people will save (1/3) of the money, and so the multiplied shift is $100 billion multiplied by (2/3) Answered by lennie - Thu Jul 30 12:39:15 2009 How would I predict the initial rate of reaction? Q. A cube of solid reactant with sides of 1.00cm^2 is submerged in a liquid and reacts to form a gas product at an initial rate of 20ml/s. The solid-liquid interface is 6.00cm^2 of surface area. If you slice this cube into 10 slices, and then replaced it in the liquid, predict the initial rate of reaction. I am clueless to this, somebody please explain. Asked by Undecided1 - Mon Apr 13 21:49:52 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well it'll be proportional to surface area. cut it into 10 pieces and your area increases. Initially, 6cm^2. Now into 10 pieces, you have 20 sides of 1cm^2 which gives 20cm^2. add that to the 4cm^2 (four sides which were unchanged from the cut, just seperated). so 24cm^2 vs. 6cm^2. increase of 4 times. so final rate should be 80ml/s (20ml/s * 4). **each piece once cut has 2 (1cm^2) sides, that's how i got 20. the other 4 sides are 0.1cm^2 for add those parts for all pieces together and you still get 4cm^2.

Q. I've been doing a lot of research and have decided that a cockatiel is the right bird for me. What is the initial cost of the bird/cage/toys/food, etc? Asked by Nick - Sat Mar 14 17:30:33 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Usually I would say a little under $300, which is around the initial cost, but really I have no idea. Because I don't live around your area. The best way to determine what the cost is, is by actually going into pets stores or online stores and see how much the cost of the toys, cages, food and bird is. Than add on the taxes so you can have a better estimate ( or exact) cost. here are some sites that you might want to look at to determine. You could also go look at second hand stores for bird cages if you don't like the pricing. Just remember to clean the cage thoroughly so it doesn't harm your bird from existing mites and other stuff. I would strongly advise you though to just go to the pet stores and see for yourself.
