Interest & Self-Interest in Ancient Athens
Interest and self-interest are concepts that have attracted multiple interdisciplinary approaches in the last decades.In this monograph, the author examines anew all nomenclature of these concepts in ancient Greek, and recapitulates relevant previous debates.This survey enables him to deal with major issues related to the Greek citizen and the polis as a whole: the gnoseology of self-interest, the manipulation of conflicting interests, the balance between expediency and justice, the vigour of competitive spirit among the Greeks and the conciliation of private with common good.The sympheron cannot be perceived beyond the context and framework of the much-discussed topics of individualism and utilitarian trends in ancient Greek thought and civic ideology.' Exploring these aspects of his subject-matter, the author provides a number of clues as to how one may better comprehend the polis' stratagems to invent' those devices needed to aggregate the one into the many.

Mutual Interest
"A timeless queer love story and a meditation on power, capitalism, and the flow of history . . .

Local Interest
Situated where salt and freshwater meet, where floods and fields ‘mingle parts’, Emily Hasler’s second collection exposes the dailiness of disaster to chart the constantly shifting courses of rivers and lives. Taking its name from the sections of libraries where much of Hasler’s research began, Local Interest maps the friable and slippery landscapes of south Suffolk and north Essex: estuaries and water meadows, coastal defences and disused decoys, possible futures and forgotten pasts. This is a book of habitats lost, created and threatened, teeming with plants, people, animals and ‘legless, uneyed life’.Here are promontories, precarity and potential; the first English sea battle and a forgotten stuntman; rare and familiar birds; a fish die-off and a vanished world; a historic earthquake and continuous erosion.Moments and millennia are as muddled as the elements.In these poems nothing is pure and everything is borrowed.Language is hybrid; poems are ‘stolen’ and ‘observed’.Local Interest questions boundaries and belonging, squinting at ideas of invasion and migration, borders and crossings.It asks what is ‘local’ and to whom; how we might celebrate dwelling while looking beyond permanence and ownership.This is poetry that wallows at the muddy edges of things, that asks you to follow it ‘through every breach that was and could be’.

Which tangible assets for investment?
Tangible assets for investment can include real estate properties, such as residential or commercial buildings, land, or rental properties. Other tangible assets may include precious metals like gold and silver, artwork, collectibles, or even vintage cars. These assets have the potential to appreciate in value over time and can provide a source of passive income through rental yields or capital appreciation upon resale. It is important to carefully research and evaluate the market conditions and potential risks associated with each type of tangible asset before making an investment decision.

At what annual interest rate does the initial investment amount triple in 10 years, assuming compound interest?
To find the annual interest rate at which the initial investment amount triples in 10 years, we can use the compound interest formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the amount after t years, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and t is the time in years. In this case, we want the amount to triple, so A = 3P. Plugging in the values, we get 3P = P(1 + r/n)^(10n). Solving for r, we find that the annual interest rate is approximately 11.61% when compounded annually.

'How do I harvest my crops in Minecraft?'
To harvest crops in Minecraft, you simply need to right-click or left-click on the fully grown crop with any tool or with your bare hand. This will cause the crop to drop and be collected into your inventory. Make sure to wait until the crops are fully grown before harvesting them, as harvesting them prematurely will not yield any items. Additionally, using a tool with the "Fortune" enchantment can increase the yield of harvested crops.

How do interest and growth work in mathematics?
Interest and growth in mathematics are related to the concept of exponential growth. When interest is applied to a principal amount, the resulting growth is exponential, meaning it increases at an accelerating rate. This is because the interest is calculated on both the initial principal and the accumulated interest, leading to a compounding effect. In mathematical terms, this growth can be represented by the formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the amount after time t, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year, and t is the time in years.

Interest Group Politics
Interest Group Politics has been and will continue to be the leading (essentially only) comprehensive collection of articles on interest groups and lobbying.The authors provide a theoretical overview of the subject, and address groups as organizations, as coalitions, as electoral actors, and as lobbying entities, broadly conceived.No other text or reader provides the breath of coverage or the strength of detail in exploring the world of organized interests, from their internal structure to their electoral politics to their lobbying activities.Fresh studies examine how lobbying has evolved in the Trump era, as well as offer classic analyses of how groups organize and seek to affect public policy.

Does wheat and other crops harvest themselves in Minecraft?
No, wheat and other crops do not harvest themselves in Minecraft. Players must manually harvest crops by breaking the fully grown plants with a tool such as a hoe. Once harvested, players can collect the crops and replant the seeds to continue growing more. There are no automated harvesting mechanisms for crops in the game, so players must actively tend to their farms to ensure a steady supply of food and resources.

How to calculate the interest rate in exponential growth?
To calculate the interest rate in exponential growth, you can use the formula: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the amount of money accumulated after n years, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate (in decimal form), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years the money is invested for. By rearranging the formula and solving for r, you can find the interest rate. Alternatively, you can use the natural logarithm to solve for the interest rate in exponential growth.

What are imputed interest and financing interest?
Imputed interest is the interest that is considered to have been paid on a loan, even if no interest was actually paid. This can occur in situations where a loan is interest-free or has below-market interest rates. Financing interest, on the other hand, refers to the actual interest that is paid on a loan or financing arrangement. It is the cost of borrowing money and is typically calculated as a percentage of the principal amount.

How do you calculate the interest rate or the growth factor?
To calculate the interest rate, you can use the formula: Interest Rate = (Future Value / Present Value)^(1/n) - 1, where Future Value is the amount of money after interest, Present Value is the initial amount of money, and n is the number of periods. To calculate the growth factor, you can use the formula: Growth Factor = (1 + Interest Rate)^n, where Interest Rate is the annual interest rate and n is the number of periods. These formulas help you determine the interest rate or growth factor for investments or loans over a specific period of time.
