...What Goes Up Must Come Down - Extra Credit When the snowshoe hare population goes up the lynx population also goes up. I would expect an increasing lynx population to affect the snowshoe hare population because the snowshoe hare population will go down. This happens because there will be more lynx to prey upon the hare. When the snowshoe hare population goes down the lynx population also goes down. This happens because there would be less hare for the lynx to feed on. Is visible that lynxes feed almost exclusively on snowshoe hares because when the snowshoe hare population goes up or goes down, the lynx population follows a similar pattern. Other factors that might affect the population of snowshoe hares, other than its interaction...

...will go through a major transition and crisis. Will she survive it? Will she come through and be transformed, or will she die? That's one way of looking at the Psyche myth. Those of you who heard Robert Bly's White Bear story on the first day of this conference heard a variation of the Eros and Psyche myth. The form that Psyche broke was the understanding with her unseen lover who came every night. The piece of the story I want to focus on is what happens in an unconscious relationship when it is broken. Psyche was the third most beautiful princess. She was considered so beautiful that she was worshipped rather than sought as a partner. Her father the king seeks to know whether his beloved daughter Psyche will ever find a husband. He goes to the Oracle at Delphi. You know, if you go ask the Delphic Oracle for advice, you are bound to fulfill the advice, so be careful. Don't ask for the advice unless you are prepared to really do what you are told to do. The Oracle tells the king that he must abandon his daughter on a mountain top to meet her fate — an inhuman bridegroom. And so, with death is the beginning of the next stage, Psyche is dressed as for a funeral. All the people of the kingdom grieve. Undoubtedly the king must have had second thoughts of, "Why did I ever ask?" The kingdom then mourned beautiful Psyche, left her on the highest crag, abandoned and wailing. As it turned out, Psyche was wafted down into a wonderful, magical valley where all her needs are cared for. All day...

...behind so just stopped having them very early on. The last dog that chased us down the street as we left in the station wagon on our way to Japan was my last straw. Later in life, we both had as many as two dogs at a time to catch up. We never had cats though so we figured it would not be hard on us to live with a cat when we went back to California to help family. After all, they have no personalities and just lay around all day with a blank look on their faces. Their cat, his name is Jackson, knows the family routine pretty well. In the morning mom is getting the red headed boy off to school. He also gets fed at that time and the boy too. He will lay on the kitchen floor against an out of the way wall and watch all the running back and forth. When they leave, he comes upstairs and waits on a perch he found next to the stairs. He gets a view of both floors there and the front door is in plain sight. When my wife goes down to get her cup of coffee, he is ready with a paw as she goes down. She is not a real cat fancier, does not hold him or anything and the crazy cat seems to adore her. Every morning he reaches out from his perch next to the stairs and touches her shoulder as she goes down. He was actually petting her! He doesn't know any better, you see, he's crazy. Jackson also waits on his perch for me to come down and then jumps on the stairs behind me. He then cuts around me blocking my way down. Why is he trying to trip me? That is just plain crazy. I’m the one that...

...are unlikely to come up – so we can create a step-by-step process for linking the statements: 1 1. First, Net Income from the bottom of the Income Statement becomes the top line of the Cash Flow Statement. 2. Second, you add back non-cash expenses from the Income Statement (and flip the signs of items such as Gains and Losses). 3. Third, you reflect changes in operational Balance Sheet line items – if an Asset goes up, cash flow goes down and vice versa; if a Liability goes up, cash flow goes up and vice versa. 4. Fourth, you reflect Purchases and Sales of Investments and PP&E in Cash Flow from Investing. 5. Fifth, you reflect Dividends, Debt issued or repurchased, and Shares issued or repurchased in Cash Flow from Financing. 6. Sixth, you calculate the net change in cash at the bottom of the CFS, and then link this into cash at the top of the next period’s Balance Sheet. 7. Seventh, you update the Balance Sheet to reflect changes in Cash, Debt, Equity, Investments, PP&E, and anything else that came from the Cash Flow Statement. A few more rules to keep in mind as you link the statements: 1 2 1. Reflect each Balance Sheet item once and only once on the Cash Flow Statement, and vice versa. 1 2. If an Asset goes up, cash flow goes down; if a Liability goes up, cash flow goes up, and vice versa. 2 3. The Balance Sheet must always balance (Assets must always equal Liabilities + Equity), no matter what else happens. ...

...NAME___Vitaliy Navalyanyy____________________ 1) What is stroke volume and how is it controlled by the heart? What other factors can affect stroke volume (extrinsic)? Stroke volume is the volume of blood that is pumped by a cardiac ventricle. The blood pumps with each beat of the heart. Stroke volume can be affected by Intrinsic Control (by increasing venous return to the heart) and Extrinsic Control (due to sympathetic stimulation of the heart). Both of the controls increase the stroke volume by making the strength of heart contraction to go up. 2) What is the equation for Cardiac Output? If heart rate decreases what must happen to maintain cardiac output? Cardiac Output = Heart Rate multiplied by Stroke volume. When heart rate slows down, it allows for more time for ventricles to fill. This increases EDV and stroke volume. 3)...

...What Goes Up Must Come Down Elisabeth Marci, Patricia Romo, Genevieve Trask University of Phoenix Economics 212 ONO9BSB06 Sherine El Hag August 13, 2009 The cause of changes in supply and demand are directly associated with the consumer. These changes may occur when the price of an item drops, the want for the item drops as well and when the price goes up on an item the demand for it decreases. Situations that my effect demand is direct from the supply, or how much of the product is on hand. As soon as a shortage in product occurs, the demand typically escalates. In this situation, the supplier may charge the consumer a higher price and they will pay. On the other end, if there is a surplus of an item, the consumer is typically not interested, and therefore, the supplier must lower the cost in hopes to sell out the surplus. Other factors that my influence supply and demand are the disposable income of the consumer, the taste of the consumer and the situation of the economy. Market equilibrium is the situation when the supply of an item is equal to its demand. Since neither a surplus nor shortage occurs in the market, there is no reason for the price of an item to change. This balance gets thrown off, however, when the price of an item goes up or down. If the price fluctuates, so does the demand; and as well, if the quantity fluctuates, so will the price. This will cause the market to lose its equilibrium. Supply and...

...the Major Production Companies a la Dreamworks, 20th Century Fox, and Paramount. The organizational structure of a Major Production Company starts with the board of directors. Then it trickles down to the second level where there is the Entertainment Executive, Complete Bond Executive, Entertainment Accountant, Physical Production Specialist, Public Relations/ Advertising Executive, and the Entertainment Attorney. Then it goes down to the executive committee headed by the President. Under the President are the Public Relations/ Advertising Vice President, Global Rights Vice President, Development Vice President, Business Affairs Vice President, and the Finance Vice President. Rounding out the organizational structure is the Story Director below the Development Vice President, the Foreign Sales Manager and the Ancillary Sales Manager below the Global Rights Vice President, and the Operations Director under the Finance Vice President. Organizational functions that influence and create success for the organizational structure are basically good movies that make money. When you have talented directors like Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, and Woody Allen who put out some of the best movies, the production company is increasing their chances of making a lot of money. A bankable movie must fit a specific genre, it has to have a good script, and it has to have good actors. That’s a given. However, if a movie is somewhere between the five and ten million dollar range, that is a pretty...

Lastly one must be able to use formal and informal communication skills while in the presence of certain individuals. One can infer that communication is just one meaning; talking. Communication has a wide spectrum of different meanings, everyone interprets it a bit different. “The imparting or interchange of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech, writing, or signs” (communication, 2015). The process for communication is said to have five parts, “transmitting an idea, sending information through a medium, receiving the message, understanding the idea, and providing feedback to the message sender”(Wallace, 2009, p. 3). With that said, communication can happen one of two ways, verbally, and non-verbally. For a verbal communication or conversation to take place, at least two persons must be involved. Feelings, ideas, and or thoughts must be presented during the transmission of data from one person to the other. Not all conversations are just one on one accouters, police officers for example can deal with a wide range of communication situations...

SUSANNA: Aye, sir, he have been searchin’ his books since he left you, sir, but he bid me tell you, that you might look to unnatural things for the cause of it. PARRIS: No-no. There be no unnatural causes here. Tell him I have sent for Reverend Hale of Beverly, and Mister Hale will surely confirm that.

...changed my attitude about life and the negativity of things. Second, I have come to the realization that it is not all about me anymore because I have my four year old daughter who is my world. Last, but not least I wanted a better way to provide for my daughter and myself , which was coming back to school to get more knowledge and a degree so I will have a firm paying job that will help reach the goals that I have put forth for myself. To begin, I must say my attitude about life was very frustrating. I looked at things as if the world owed me something. I never took the time to take into consideration how tender this life really is. We only get one life with limited opportunities in life. I had to get in my right mind by looking back on certain situations I was putting myself in and the outcome of those situations. I was looking at a short life for myself and a daughter without her father, which is a horrible thing for a young lady to grow up without. I had to get down and ask God to be my leader and to come on in and have His way. I believe that was the best move I could have made to begin this new journey to becoming a better man. I came into realization that these things about me were not what should be in my mind to be trying to accomplish. It was just selfish of me to even think of myself when I have a beautiful four year old daughter to raise and make sure that her life will be smooth. I stepped up and turned those childish ways off. The things I need to focus on should...

...Threadgold, is one literary category Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken comes under, due to it containing, “the principal parts of a narrative – setting, complication, climax, denouement, and coda” (Threadgold 231). The setting takes place in a “yellow wood” (Frost 127) where two paths diverge, and the complication comes from deciding which of the two paths the narrator should travel along. The climax arrives when the narrator finds himself torn between his decision and is shortly followed by the denouement when he makes his decision on which path to take, concluding with saying “and that has made all the difference” (Frost 127): the coda. Frost’s poem is also open to interpretation by the reader, whereby they “[do] not necessarily follow the txt’s or the narrative’s instructions” (Threadgold 232), an act that leads to a deeper sense and meaning of the poem. Making it easy to distinguish a metaphorical link between the difficult decisions individuals make in their lives, and the decision between the paths the narrator must make. The connection between Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken and the decisions faced in life is one determined through the literary devices used by the author. In the first stanza Frost sets the scene with “two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both” (Frost 127) this is the first sense of a metaphor, whereby the narrator tells of how he comes across two paths and must decide between them, not unlike when we are...
