Bestseller Lists and Product Variety
Bestseller Lists and Product Variety Alan T. Sorensen∗ July 2006 Abstract This paper uses detailed weekly data on sales of hardcover fiction books to evaluate the impact of the New York Times bestseller list on sales and product variety. In order to circum- vent the obvious problem of simultaneity of sales and bestseller status, the analysis exploits time lags and accidental omissions in the construction of the list. The empirical results indi- cate that appearing on the list leads to a modest increase in sales for the average book, and that the effect is more dramatic for bestsellers by debut authors. The paper discusses how the additional concentration of demand on top-selling books could lead to a reduction in the privately optimal number of books to publish. However, the data suggest the opposite is true: the market expansion effect of bestseller lists appears to dominate any business stealing from non-bestselling titles. ∗Stanford University and NBER; [email protected]. I am thankful to the Hoover Institution, where much of this research was conducted, and to Nielsen BookScan for providing the book sales data. The research has benefitted from helpful conversations with Jim King, Phillip Leslie, and Joel Sobel, among many others. Scott Rasmussen provided excellent research assistance. Any errors are mine. 1 1 Introduction The perceived importance of bestseller lists is a salient feature of multimedia industries. Weekly sales rankings for books of various genres are published in at least 40 different newspapers across the U.S., and “making the list” seems to be a benchmark of success for authors. -

This report provides an overview of this body of research, highlighting a number of interesting findings that have emerged to date. Digestion is the breakdown of food and drink, which occurs through the synchronised function of several organs. It is coordinated by the nervous system and a number of different hormones, and can be impacted by a number of external factors. Coffee has been suggested as a trigger for some common digestive complaints from stomach ache and heartburn, through to bowel problems. Research suggests that coffee consumption can stimulate gastric, bile and pancreatic secretions, all of which play important roles in the overall process of digestion1–6. -

Monthly Highlights from TBBC
Monthly Highlights from TBBC January 2021 TALKING BOOK & BRAILLE CENTER A MESSAGE FROM THE NEW JERSEY STATE LIBRARIAN This will be my last newsletter message. I will be retiring on January 31st. Jennifer Nelson has been named as the next State Librarian. I have been reflecting on the past eight years. While I believe that the State Library has made many advances across the state, none has been as positive and fulfilling as the services to you, our TBBC patrons. You can go to public libraries in almost every county for help to download books and magazines. TBBC can now send multiple books on a single cartridge and TBBC is now piloting a Braille device that fits into the palm of your hand. Such advances are truly remarkable and will get better. So as I leave a job I love, I love that you can now get “any book, any time.” Take care and be safe. Thank you, Mary Mary L. Chute New Jersey State Librarian NEW JERSEY STATE LIBRARIAN – JENNIFER NELSON Thomas Edison State University (TESU) announced that Jennifer R.

Identification of Characterizing Aroma Components of Roasted Chicory
Article Cite This: J. Agric. Food Chem. XXXX, XXX, XXX−XXX pubs.acs.org/JAFC Identification of Characterizing Aroma Components of Roasted Chicory “Coffee” Brews Tiandan Wu and Keith R. Cadwallader* Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, University of Illinois at Urbana−Champaign, 1302 West Pennsylvania Avenue, Urbana, Illinois 61801, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: The roasted and ground root of the chicory plant (Cichorium intybus), often referred to as chicory coffee, has served as a coffee surrogate for well over 2 centuries and is still in common use today. Volatile components of roasted chicory brews were identified by direct solvent extraction and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) combined with gas chromatography−olfactometry (GC−O), aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA), and gas chromatography−mass spectrometry (GC−MS). A total of 46 compounds were quantitated by stable isotope dilution analysis (SIDA) and internal standard methods, and odor-activity values (OAVs) were calculated. On the basis of the combined results of AEDA and OAVs, rotundone was considered to be the most potent odorant in roasted chicory. On the basis of their high OAVs, additional predominant odorants included 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone (sotolon), 2-methylpropanal, 3-methylbutanal, 2,3- dihydro-5-hydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one (dihydromaltol), 1-octen-3-one, 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine, 4-hydroxy-2,5- dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (HDMF), and 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone (maltol). Rotundone, with its distinctive aromatic woody, peppery, and “chicory-like” note was also detected in five different commercial ground roasted chicory products. -
Coffee, Coffea Spp
A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 28 Jan 2013 Coffee, Coffea spp. As you sip your morning cup of coffee have you ever wondered where this ubiquitous beverage comes from? Coffea is a genus of about 100 species of evergreen shrubs and small understory trees in the madder family (Rubiaceae) native to tropical forests in Africa and Asia. The seeds of these plants are processed to produce the drink people around the world have enjoyed for centuries, as well as for fl avoring ice cream, pastries, candies, and liqueurs. It is one of the world’s most valuable crops and is an important export product of several countries. The largest producers include Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Colombia, along with many other Central and South American countries and East Africa. Coffee comes from a tropical shrub. Coffea is an attractive plant with glossy, deep green foliage. The woody, evergreen shrubs or small trees have opposite, elliptic- ovate, wavy-edged leaves. The fairly stiff leaves have a prominent leaf midrib and lateral veins. Wild plants will grow 10 to 12 feet high, with an open branching structure, but are easily kept smaller and denser by pruning. Fragrant, sweet scented white fl owers bloom along reproductive branches in the leaf axils on old wood. The dense clusters of star-shaped fl owers can be produced at any time of year, but are most common in our Coffea has glossy, deep green leaves. autumn, as coffee is a short-day plant and blooming most profusely when nights are getting longer (daylight of only 8-10 hours). -

The Story of Cluedo & Clue a “Contemporary” Game for Over 60 Years
The story of Cluedo & Clue A “Contemporary” Game for over 60 Years by Bruce Whitehill The Metro, a free London newspaper, regularly carried a puzzle column called “Enigma.” In 2005, they ran this “What-game-am-I?” riddle: Here’s a game that’s lots of fun, Involving rope, a pipe, a gun, A spanner, knife and candlestick. Accuse a friend and make it stick. The answer was the name of a game that, considering the puzzle’s inclusion in a well- known newspaper, was still very much a part of British popular culture after more than 50 years: “Cluedo,” first published in 1949 in the UK. The game was also published under license to Parker Brothers in the United States the same year, 1949. There it is was known as: Clue What’s in a name? • Cluedo = Clue + Ludo" Ludo is a classic British game -- " a simplified Game of India • Ludo is not played in the U.S. " Instead, Americans play Parcheesi." But “Cluecheesi” doesn’t quite work." So we just stuck with “Clue” I grew up (in New York) playing Clue, and like most other Americans, considered it to be one of America’s classic games. Only decades later did I learn its origin was across the ocean, in Great Britain. Let me take you back to England, 1944. With the Blitz -- the bombing -- and the country emersed in a world war, the people were subject to many hardships, including blackouts and rationing. A forty-one-year-old factory worker in Birmingham was disheartened because the blackouts and the crimp on social activities in England meant he was unable to play his favorite parlor game, called “Murder.” “Murder” was a live-action party game where guests tried to uncover the person in the room who had been secretly assigned the role of murderer. -
Standardized Field Sobriety Testing
This Page Left Intentionally Blank Instructor Guide DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety (SFST) Testing Sobriety Refresher October 2015 Save lives, prevent injuries, reduce vehicle-related crashes This Page Left Intentionally Blank Preface The Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) training curriculum collectively prepares police officers and other qualified persons to conduct the SFST’s for use in DWI investigations. This training, developed under the auspices and direction of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), has experienced remarkable success since its inception in the early 1980s. As in any educational training program, an instruction manual or guide is considered a “living document” that is subject to updates and changes based on advances in technology and science. A thorough review is made of information by the IACP Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) of the Highway Safety Committee of the IACP with contributions from many sources in health care science, toxicology, jurisprudence, and law enforcement. Based on this information, any appropriate revisions and modifications in background theory, facts, examination and decision making methods are made to improve the quality of the instruction as well as the standardization of guidelines for the implementation of the SFST curriculum. The reorganized manuals are then prepared and disseminated, both domestically and internationally, to the states. Changes will normally take effect 90 days after approval by the TAP, unless otherwise specified or when so designated. The procedures outlined in this manual describe how the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs) are to be administered under ideal conditions. We recognize that the SFST’s will not always be administered under ideal conditions in the field, because such conditions do not always exist. -
