Cleanup date June 2008 Economic Waves There has been some confusion between the terms long cycle and long waves . Long waves date back to Nikolai Kondratieff , the Russian economist whose name now represents the cycles that he expounded on, that is the Kondratieff Waves . Long cycles properly belongs to Simon Kuznets , the second American to win the Nobel Prize in economics , the first being Paul Samuelson . Long cycles, also known as long swings, originally referred to the cycles that Kuznets expounded on, now known as Kuznets cycles or simply Kuznets. With much confusion about these terms over the last 30 years, long cycles is used almost interchangeably to refer to long waves by economists, sociologists and writers alike and few really know the difference. While Kondratieff s long waves were thought to be about 50 to 60 years long, Kuznets cycles are much shorter, based on his work with mid 19th and early 20th century demographics. Edward Cheung, author of Baby Boomers, Generation X and Social Cycles , suggests that both these cycles are based on demographics and that they do not contradict each other, but complement each other.

Norman Cycles was a British bicycle , autocycle , moped , and motorcycle manufacturer based in Ashford, Kent , England . The company and its products are remembered today by the Norman Cycles Club ref http normanmotorcycles.org.uk Norman Motor Cycles Club ref which is based at Willesborough Windmill , in Willesborough , Ashford. The Norman Museum is located in the Windmill s barn and displays some of the Company s mopeds and bicycles. History The Company was originally founded shortly after World War I as the Kent Plating & Enamelling Co by brothers Charles and Fred Norman making frames in a garden shed off Jemmett Road, Ashford. In the 1920s they moved to larger premises in Victoria Road, Ashford and progressed from frame making and finishing to producing cycles. In 1935 they had a new factory built in Beaver Road, Ashford and the company was renamed Norman Cycles Limited. In 1938 they produced an autocycle a heavier duty bicycle with a small engine what would later be more commonly known as a moped . In addition to cycles the company went on to produce mopeds and light motorbikes with motors supplied by engine manufacturers including Villiers, British Anzani and latterly for their Norman Nippy moped, Sachs engines were used . During their time they produced many thousands of cycles and motorbikes weekly production was said to peak at 5,000 bikes, 600 mopeds and 120 motorbikes. In addition to supplying the UK market they exported to many Commonwealth countries using the Rambler trademark. The company enjoyed sporting success with its products. However with falling demand for their products, Norman Cycles was acquired in 1953 by Tube Investments who would ultimately prefer the Raleigh brand name for cycles .

The Cycles of the Kings , also known as the Kings Cycles or the Historical Cycle are a body of Old and Middle Irish literature . They contain stories of the legendary kings of Ireland, for example Cormac mac Airt , Niall of the Nine Hostages , ogan M r , Conall Corc , Guaire Aidne mac Colm in , Diarmait mac Cerbaill , Lugaid mac Con , Conn of the Hundred Battles , L egaire mac N ill , Crimthann mac Fidaig , and Brian B ruma . It was part of the duty of the medieval Irish bards, or court Irish poetry poets , to record the history of the family and the genealogy of the king they served. This they did in poems that blended the mythological and the historical to a greater or lesser degree. The resulting stories form what has come to be known as the Historical Cycle, or more correctly Cycles, as there are a number of independent groupings. The kings that are included range from the almost entirely mythological Labraid Loingsech , who allegedly became High King of Ireland around 431 BC, to the entirely historical Brian Boru. However, the greatest glory of the Historical Cycle is the Buile Shuibhne The Frenzy of Sweeney , a 12th century tale told in verse and prose. Suibhne, king of D l nAraidi , was cursed by St Ronan and became a kind of half man, half bird, condemned to live out his life in the woods, fleeing from his human companions. The story has captured the imaginations of contemporary Irish poets and has been translated by Trevor Joyce and Seamus Heaney .

Time cycles signify a 360 degree circular or elliptical rotation, orbit or journey in time typically of an object such as a planet or moon. In the case of the precession of the equinoxes , the cycle is determined by the 360 degree shifting of the equinoctal axis. Time cycles can also refer to larger rotations or orbits such as the time it takes for the Earth to make one complete revolution about the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. The Earth s day The Earth s 360 degree rotation upon its axis in 24 hours is the measure of one day .
