Description

In the 1990s, financial markets in the United States boomed. The Dow Jones Industrial Index—a widely quoted index of the values of 30 large corporations (see Chapter 8 )—rose from a level of 2,800 in January 1990 to more than 11,000 by the end of the decade; this compares to a move from 100 at its inception in 1906 to 2,800 eighty-four years later. In the early 2000s, as a result of an economic downturn in the United States and elsewhere, this index fell back below 10,000. The index rose to over 14,000 in July 2007, but (because of an increasing mortgage market credit crunch, particularly the subprime mortgage market) fell back to below 13,000 within a month of hitting the all-time high. By 2008, problems in the subprime mortgage market escalated to a full blown financial crisis and the worst recession in the United States since the Great Depression. The Dow Jones Industrial Arerage (DJIA) fell to 6,547 in March 2009 before recovering, along with the economy, to over 11,000 in April 2010.

SERVICE TECHNICAL SKILLS
1. Lay the napkin face down in front of you. 2. Fold the napkin in half. 3. Fold the napkin in quarters. 4. Fold the napkin in half diagonally, creating a triangle. 5. Orient the triangle so the open tip is facing away from you. 6. Fold the right corner diagonally towards you – laying it down along the centreline of the triangle, making a new tip pointing towards you. An iron can make this important fold a whole lot easier. 7. Do the same with the left corner, fold it diagonally toward you and press it down next to the previous fold. Now you have a diamond, you’re rich! Yay! 8. Fold the two "wings" that you just made in folds 6 and 7 under so that you have your original triangle shape back. Once again an iron can make a world of difference. 9. Fold the triangle in half by bringing the centre seam towards you and allowing the ends to fall. 10. This bird’s almost ready to fly, but first you must give it some feathers. While holding the base firmly to keep your folds together, pull up the four ‘flaps’ created by the napkin’s corners
