Economic Contribution of the Trenton-Mercer Airport
No full textIn 2016, the Rutgers Economic Advisory Service group (R/ECON™) of Rutgers University prepared the second Economic Impact Report of the Trenton Mercer Airport (commissioned by Mercer County’s Office of Economic Development and Sustainability). It follows and expands upon a preceding study conducted for Mercer County’s Division of Economic Development in November 2006.
This study analyzes the contribution of the Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN) to the Mercer County economy using the following direct sources of economic activity:
•Airport operating expenditures: These mainly account for the people employed to administer and operate the Airport. Operating expenditures also create jobs supported by the purchasing of supplies and materials, as well as spending on contractual services and utilities.
•Capital investments: These are made to improve the Airport’s facilities and support local jobs. Note that capital investments are not perpetual, thus their economic impacts only occur when improvement projects take place.
•Tenant expenditures: The sum of all the spending incurred by airport tenants to operate their respective businesses. This formula only includes tenants that provide aviation services or provide goods and services to airport users.
•Visitor expenditures: These account for the in-county spending by visitors arriving at the Trenton-Mercer Airport. Visitor spending not only supports airport jobs, but also retail and tourism-related employment.
By applying the R/ECON™ Input-Output model to the direct sources of airport-related spending listed above, we estimate the total economic impacts (direct, indirect, and induced) for Mercer County. The model expresses the resulting jobs, income, and wealth impacts in various levels of industry detail.
The current study is designed to inform operation strategies and establish a common base of knowledge from which long-range plans and initiatives can be developed. Additionally, this report includes a thorough property value analysis, which examines the extent to which proximity to the Trenton-Mercer Airport is correlated with the value of area properties

Redbird Buzz Episode 36: James Mercer \u2791, February 29, 2024
No full textJames Mercer ’91 is no stranger to the fast-paced world of sports management, and that\u27s certainly the case in his current role as commercial director for Envision Racing\u27s Formula E team.
Formula E is the Fédération Internationale de l\u27Automobile\u27s (FIA\u27s) single-seat car racing series, which uses only electric vehicles. Mercer got his start in sports at Illinois State University as a men\u27s tennis student-athlete and history major, which led him to roles as a player agent and in professional tennis, rugby, and motorsports organizations.
In this episode of Redbird Buzz, Mercer shares why he came to Illinois State sight unseen, how landing his dream job right out of college changed his perspective, and how Formula E and its commitment to sustainability
Supporting students with learning difficulties
No full textWhat does it mean to have a learning difficulty? In this chapter we will consider the various learning difficulties that some students in every classroom are likely to be experiencing. We will focus on the "high incidence" learning difficulties (occur with high frequency) rather than the "low incidence" learning difficulties (occur with low frequency). As we discuss the selected learning difficulties, we will consider common characteristics of students with these difficulties as well as approaches that will support their learning. We will also examine general approaches to instruction and learning that support the learning of all students including those with difficulties. Finally, we will consider how to access the support of specialized personnel who can assist you as a classroom teacher in meeting the needs of your students who are expecting difficulties with learning

Mercer 5: A probable new globular cluster in the Galactic bulge
No full textWe present a detailed study of a dust-obscured Galactic star cluster Mercer 5 ([MCM2005b] 5) in an extremely crowded field in the Milky Way. Near-infrared (near-IR) photometry from United Kingdom Infrared Digital Sky Surveys (UKIDSS) and the Son of ISAAC on the New Technology Telescope (SofI/NTT), combined with near-IR spectroscopy also from SofI, indicates that it is almost certainly a Galactic globular cluster, located at the edge of the Galactic bulge. The cluster suffers ~9 mag of visual extinction, with strong evidence for an extinction gradient across the cluster. A simulation of the differential reddening in the cluster using empirical data from NGC 6539 (chosen because it had high signal-to-noise ratio data and low field star contamination) as a template mimics the observations extremely well. This simulation and other arguments are used to indicate that the most prominent clump of stars in the colour-magnitude diagrams is a horizontal branch clump. On this basis we conclude that the cluster is at a distance of ~5.5kpc and suffers from visual extinction ranging from ~8.5 to ~12.5 mag. Alternative explanations for its nature, such as a young cluster or an old open cluster, are much less likely, on the grounds of no visible main sequence or stars with IR excesses for the former and location versus lifetime arguments for the latter. © 2011 The Authors Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society © 2011 RAS
