1. Evaluate the mission, identify its strong and weak sides.2. Propose your (much better) version of the mission statement Welcome to eEuro Inclusion portal! This portal gives less widely used less taught (LWULT) languages in Europe a stronger voice by bringing together LWULT Language Resource Centres (LRC) from a large number of European countries. This is necessary if LWULT languages are to contribute fully to the future educational and cultural heritage of Europe. eEuro Inclusion gives LWULT LRCs greater visibility at the European level. The online exchange of knowledge, expertise and experience between LRCs is a first step towards the founding of a pan-European Association of LWULT LRCs. eEuro Inclusion has two main target groups: LRCs that provide LWULT language services and potential seekers of these services. LWULT’s mission is twofold : to raise public awareness on the importance of learning these languages by facilitating free access to information and opportunities for LWULT…

The state of Colorado requires oil and gas companies who use fracking techniques to retune the land to its original condition after the oil and gas extractions. Table 12.9 shows the total cost and total benefits (in dollars) of this policy. Calculate the marginal cost and the marginal benefit at each quantity (acre) of land restored. See Production. Costs and Industry Structure if you need a refresher on how to calculate marginal costs and benefits. If we apply marginal analysis, what is the optimal amount of land to be restored?
