History[edit]
Interior
Interior
The Half Moon is one of London's longest running, and most respected live music venues. Since the early 1960s, some of the biggest names in popular music have performed there, including The Rolling Stones, and The Who. The venue has hosted live music every night since 1963.[1]
It all began with the folk and blues sessions started by Gerry Lockran, Royd Rivers and Cliff Aungier in 1963. 'Folksville', as the sessions were called, featured new British and European artists alongside established American blues-men. These included Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Champion Jack Dupree and Arthur Crudup. British acts included Ralph McTell, John Martyn, Bert Jansch and Roy Harper.
John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Alexis Korner, and The Yardbirds made an appearance here and at other South London venues such as The Eel Pie Club and Crawdaddy Club.
As blues and folk thrived, bringing Fairport Convention and Van Morrison, so other genres began to appear. From the psychedelia of The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band and Bob Kerr's Whoopee Band; to 1960s mod groups The Pretty Things and Nashville Teens; to early pub-rock acts such as Dr. Feelgood; the Half Moon was the centre of not only the emerging music scenes but continued to host the big names.
It was never just a "passing through" venue. Residencies at the Half Moon have included Elvis Costello (who would play a couple times a month in the mid-1970s for 50 pence and a plate of sandwiches)[2] and Steve Marriott of Small Faces fame. John Martyn returned decades after his first Half Moon gigs to a week-long residency, and both Tim Rose and Roy Harper did the same. On 24 July 2007, Welsh-language folk guitarist Meic Stevens performed his first London gig in over 30 years at the Half Moon. Other memorable gigs at the Half Moon include k.d. lang's first UK appearance, Kate Bush's first ever public performance and a surprise appearance by Nick Cave Hard-gigging R&B/blues-rock veterans The Hamsters played their last ever shows at The Half Moon in 2012, signing off on a 25-year career with 5 blistering shows over one weekend.
The Half Moon has always been synonymous with local band The Rolling Stones, whose most recent visit was a private event held in May 2000. As well as performing as the band, individual members have appeared here in various side-projects, and have also used the venue for rehearsal space. In January 2010, the Half Moon almost closed due to failing sales, rising rates and the recession, but they received hundreds of signatures and a Facebook campaign of 6,500 people. Musicians such as The X Factor finalist Jamie Archer, Eddi Reader and Simon Fowler supported the petition as well.[1] As part of its revival, the Half Moon started serving food.[1]
In 2012, The Half Moon was bought by Geronimo Inns.
Artists who have appeared[edit]
Artists who have performed or recorded at the venue since the mid-1960s include the Rolling Stones, The Who, The Small Faces, Kasabian, Sisteray [3], Chris Bell, Ralph McTell, GoodLuck,[4] John Martyn, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Alexis Korner, The Yardbirds, Bob Kerr's Whoopee Band, Morrissey–Mullen – who had a residency there of several years' standing, Rocket 88, Fairport Convention, Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, Roy Harper, Van Morrison, Danny Thompson,[5] Dr. Feelgood, Elvis Costello, Meic Stevens, Finley Quaye, I Am Kloot, Bo Diddley, John Otway, Tim Rose[6] Amy McDonald, Catfish Keith, as well as k.d. lang's first UK appearance, and Kate Bush's first public performance.
It has also hosted comedy, including Billy Connolly, Harry Hill, Rufus Hound, Shappi Khorsandi, Norman Lovett, Bob Mills, Milton Jones, Al Murray, Stewart Lee, Richard Herring, Jack Whitehall, Alistair McGowan, Katherine Ryan, Cardinal Burns, Reginald D. Hunter, Stewart Francis, Bridget Christie, Josh Widdicombe, Sara Pascoe, Rob Beckett, Sean Hughes, Kevin Eldon, Henning Wehn, Hal Cruttenden, Holly Walsh, Danny Bhoy, Aisling Bea and James Acaster.[7]

In economics, diminishing returns is the decrease in the marginal (incremental) output of a production process as the amount of a single factor of production is incrementally increased, while the amounts of all other factors of production stay constant.
The law of diminishing returns states that in all productive processes, adding more of one factor of production, while holding all others constant ("ceteris paribus"), will at some point yield lower incremental per-unit returns.[1] The law of diminishing returns does not imply that adding more of a factor will decrease the total production, a condition known as negative returns, though in fact this is common.
A common example is adding more people to a job, such as the assembly of a car on a factory floor. At some point, adding more workers causes problems such as workers getting in each other's way or frequently finding themselves waiting for access to a part. In all of these processes, producing one more unit of output per unit of time will eventually cost increasingly more due to inputs being used less effectively.[2] Another well-studied example is throwing more headcount at software development, yielding Brooks's law.
The law of diminishing returns is a fundamental principle of economics.[1] It plays a central role in production theory.[3]

History[edit]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (December 2009)
The concept of diminishing returns can be traced back to the concerns of early economists such as Johann Heinrich von Thünen, Jacques Turgot, Adam Smith,[4] James Steuart, Thomas Robert Malthus, and David Ricardo. However, classical economists such as Malthus and Ricardo attributed the successive diminishment of output to the decreasing quality of the inputs. Neoclassical economists assume that each "unit" of labor is identical. Diminishing returns are due to the disruption of the entire productive process as additional units of labor are added to a fixed amount of capital. The law of diminishing returns remains an important consideration in farming.
Diminishing marginal returns[edit]
As labor usage increases from L1 to L2, total output (measured vertically in the top graph) increases by the amount shown. But if labor usage is increased by the same amount again, output goes up by less, implying diminishing marginal returns to the use of labor as an input. The marginal product of labor (measured vertically in the bottom graph) is diminishing everywhere to the right of point A.

The defining feature of diminishing marginal returns is that as total investment increases, the total return on investment as a proportion of the total investment (the average product or return) decreases. Suppose, for example, that 1 kilogram of seed applied to a certain plot of land produces one ton of crop, that 2 kg of seed produces 1.5 tons, and that 3 kg of seed produces 1.75 tons. In formulaic terms, the i {\displaystyle {i}} th kg of seeds produces 1 2 i − 1 {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{2^{i-1}}}} additional tons of crop. The return from investing the first kilogram is 1 t/kg. When 2 kg of seed is invested, the return is 1.5/2 = 0.75 t/kg, and when 3 kg is invested, the return is 1.75/3 = 0.58 t/kg.
In formulaic terms, for this example, the diminished marginal return is:
D = 1 X ∑ i = 1 X 1 2 i − 1 {\displaystyle {\text{D}}={\frac {1}{X}}\sum _{i=1}^{X}{\frac {1}{2^{i-1}}}}
where X {\displaystyle {\text{X}}} = seed in kilograms, and 1 2 i − 1 {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{2^{i-1}}}} = additional crop yield in tons, for the i {\displaystyle {i}} th kilogram of seed.
Substituting 3 for X {\displaystyle {\text{X}}} and expanding yields:
D = 1 3 ∑ i = 1 3 1 2 i − 1 {\displaystyle {\text{D}}={\frac {1}{3}}\sum _{i=1}^{3}{\frac {1}{2^{i-1}}}}
= 1 3 ⋅ ( 1 2 1 − 1 + 1 2 2 − 1 + 1 2 3 − 1 ) {\displaystyle ={\frac {1}{3}}\cdot \left({\frac {1}{2^{1-1}}}+{\frac {1}{2^{2-1}}}+{\frac {1}{2^{3-1}}}\right)}
= 1 3 ⋅ ( 1 2 0 + 1 2 1 + 1 2 2 ) {\displaystyle ={\frac {1}{3}}\cdot \left({\frac {1}{2^{0}}}+{\frac {1}{2^{1}}}+{\frac {1}{2^{2}}}\right)}
= 1 3 ⋅ ( 1 1 + 1 2 + 1 4 ) = 1.75 3 {\displaystyle ={\frac {1}{3}}\cdot \left({\frac {1}{1}}+{\frac {1}{2}}+{\frac {1}{4}}\right)={\frac {1.75}{3}}}
= 0.58 3 ¯ t/kg {\displaystyle =0.58{\overline {3}}{\text{ t/kg}}}
Another example is a factory that has a fixed stock of capital, or tools and machines, and a variable supply of labor. As the firm increases the number of workers, the total output of the firm grows but at an ever-decreasing rate. This is because after a certain point, the factory becomes overcrowded and workers begin to form lines to use the machines. The long-run solution to this problem is to increase the stock of capital, that is, to buy more machines and to build more factories.
Returns and costs[edit]
There is an inverse relationship between returns of inputs and the cost of production. Suppose that a kilogram of seed costs one dollar, and this price does not change. Although there are other costs, assume they do not vary with the amount of output and are therefore fixed costs. One kilogram of seeds yields one ton of crop, so the first ton of the crop costs one dollar to produce. That is, for the first ton of output, the marginal cost of the output is $1 per ton. If there are no other changes, then if the second kilogram of seeds applied to land produces only half the output of the first, the marginal cost would equal $1 per half ton of output, or $2 per ton. Similarly, if the third kilogram of seeds yields only a quarter ton, then the marginal cost equals $1 per quarter ton or $4 per ton. Thus, diminishing marginal returns imply increasing marginal costs and rising average costs.
Cost can also be measured in terms of opportunity cost. In this case the law also applies to societies – the opportunity cost of producing a single unit of a good generally increases as a society attempts to produce more of that good. This explains the bowed-out shape of the production possibilities frontier.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd[a] is a role-playing video game developed by Nihon Falcom, serving as the final entry of a trilogy in the Trails in the Sky series of games. The game is also a part of Falcom's overarching The Legend of Heroes series, taking place in the same fictional universe as other Trails-related titles. The game was first released in Japan on Microsoft Windows in 2007, and later for the PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita. The game saw an English release in 2017, localized by Xseed Games and released for Windows.[1][2]

Gameplay[edit]
The game plays similarly to its predecessors, a role-playing video game with turn-based battles, but this time enemies have affinities to the three higher elements of time, space and mirage. Other additions are the turn bonuses of "rush", allowing the player to take two actions at once, "guard", which nullifies any damage, "vanish", which makes a target disappear for a few turns, and "death", which gives the attack the effect of an instant death. Throughout the games' dungeons the player will find doors engraved with symbols of the moon, stars and the sun, which trigger, respectively, long story scenes, short story scenes, and mini-games. Those scenes usually tell the story of past events and may feature battles.
Plot[edit]
Taking place six months following the ending of Trails in the Sky SC, Kevin Graham finds himself on board a luxury airship located somewhere above Erebonia, doing a recovery mission for the Septian Church, of which he is a high-ranking member. After a successful completion, he returns to his ship and immediately receives another request, now to investigate an artifact recovered from the bottom of Valeria Lake in the Liberl Kingdom. There, he meets Ries Argent—an old friend—and they both get caught up in an incident that leads them into Phantasma, the Land of Shadows, a place that seems to follow its own otherworldly rules. Thus, they begin their investigation, which leads them to unearth their own past.
Development[edit]
Creation and release[edit]
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky was initially planned to be released as one singular game, however, the size and scope of the game grew so much that Falcom had to either pare down the game, or split it up.[3] They chose the latter, and eventually split into two parts: First Chapter and Second Chapter. Later they started development on an epilogue to those games, which became The 3rd.[3] While the first two entries focused on the more upbeat adventures of Estelle and Joshua, The 3rd shifts its story-telling into a darker direction.[3]
The 3rd was released on a number of different platforms since it original Windows release. A PlayStation Portable port was released on July 24, 2008. A high definition PlayStation 3 port was released in June 2013.[4] It was also released on PlayStation Plus on January 2014.[5] It has received an HD Evolution remake for PlayStation Vita on July 14, 2016. An English localization by Xseed Games was released for Windows on May 3, 2017.[6]
Save data from Second Chapter from the PC, PSP and PS3 releases unlock bonus content when present on the console (or PC) playing The 3rd.[4] Additionally, The 3rd saved data is transferrable from the PSP to PS3 release, allowing the player to continue the game on PS3 where they had left off on the PSP copy.[4]
Localization[edit]
After First Chapter's successful launch on Steam and GOG.com, Xseed has shown renewed interest in localization of The 3rd, contingent to the success of the Second Chapter. In 2013, Xseed teamed up with a third party translating company, Carpe Fulgur, to translate Second Chapter; The 3rd's release largely hinged on its success.[7] Ken Berry, Vice President of Xseed Games, stated that despite having the right to release The 3rd, they would be willing to allow others to translate them as well due to them being such large undertakings.[8][9] Xseed announced on April 7, 2017 that The 3rd would be released on May 3, 2017.[1][2]
In 2011, publisher Aeria Games announced they would release a mobile version of the series in North America, with additional social interactions features. However, no details have been released since the initial announcement.[10] Xseed stated that they have no connection to the potential Aeria Games release.[11]
Reception[edit]
Upon release in Japan, the PlayStation Portable version received a score of 30/40 from the video game magazine Famitsu.[12] It received generally favorable reception, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[13]
