A single point on the supply curve refers to the quantity supplied @ that price. * Quantity Supplied and Price * The price of a product and the quantity supplied are related positively, other thing being equal. That is, the higher the products own price, the more its producers will supply; and the lower the price, the less its producers will supply. Supply Schedule Supply Curve (same as demand but positive) * Shifts in the Supply Curve * A change in any of he variables (other than the product’s own price) that affects the quantity supplied will shift the supply curve to a new position.

...Southern rock is a category of the genre of rock music. It developed in the United States and varies from rock and roll,country,and blues and it is focused generally on electric or acoustic guitar and vocals. Southern rock plays a huge part in the influence of modern rock music. Important figures of southern rock include The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Widespread Panic, Creedence Clearwater, and many more that have influenced the southern rock culture greatly and some bands which are still paving the way for the future of southern rock music. Southern rocks origins lie mainly in the American South. In the 1950's many Southern Rock stars came about such as Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis but however in the 1960's British invasion and the rise of folk, and psychadelic rock shifted the focus away from Southern Rock and the rural south and to large cities like Liverpool, London, New York, and San Francisco. Although this shift changed interests in rock in the late 1960's bands revived roots of southern rock such as Creedence Clearwater Revival, and The band. Creedence Clearwater Revival was among the best southern rock group in the 1960's. Also known as Creedence or CCR consisted of a lead guitarist, lead vocalist, and songwriter. Also rhythm guitarist Tom Fogerty, bassist Stu Cook, and drummer Doug Clifford. Their musical style infused roots rock and swamp rock genres but overall portrayed a southern rock style singing about popular elements...

...Linux processes are implemented in the kernel as instances of task_struct, the process descriptor. The mm field in task_struct points to the memory descriptor, mm_struct, which is an executive summary of a program’s memory. It stores the start and end of memory segments as shown above, the number of physical memory pages used by the process (rss stands for Resident Set Size), the amount of virtual address space used, and other tidbits. Within the memory descriptor we also find the two work horses for managing program memory: the set of virtual memory areas and the page tables. Gonzo’s memory areas are shown below: Kernel memory descriptor and memory areas Each virtual memory area (VMA) is a contiguous range of virtual addresses; these areas never overlap. An instance of vm_area_struct fully describes a memory area, including its start and end addresses, flags to determine access rights and behaviors, and the vm_file field to specify which file is being mapped by the area, if any. A VMA that does not map a file is anonymous. Each memory segment above (e.g., heap, stack) corresponds to a single VMA, with the exception of the memory mapping segment. This is not a requirement, though it is usual in x86 machines. VMAs do not care which segment they are in. A program’s VMAs are stored in its memory descriptor both as a linked list in the mmap field, ordered by starting virtual address, and as a red-black tree rooted at the mm_rb field. The red-black tree allows the kernel to...

...B – Society’s Child The text, which is an excerpt from “Society’s Child- My Autobiography” deals with the themes of saying your opinion and to stay true to yourself even though it’s hard and the racial discrimination that still occurred during the 1960’s. I shall elaborate on both of the themes and the way they’re presented. The author of the text is the well-known musician, folksinger and writer Janis Ian who was born 1951. Janis Ian had her first hit single, “Society’s Child”, at the age of thirteen. The song is about an interracial romance forbidden by her mother and frowned upon by peers and teachers. The extract from her Autobiography shows her struggle at a concert, as she is fighting to keep on singing as some people at the concert repeatedly started chanting “Nigger lover” as she sang the song. She then runs of stage and into the restroom where she is crying and discussing with her promoter whether she should go back on stage or not. In the end she decides to stubbornly stick to her principles and walk up on stage and began to sing the song again from the top. She gathered the courage and stayed true to herself. The topic is of universal interest. Not only because racism is something that still exists today, but also because the text represents a person with a lot of courage who can stand up for themselves and their principles –even if they’re on their own. Even though it is published in 2009 and discusses the events of the 1960’s oppression of the Afro-American...

...device that supplies electric energy to an electrical load. The primary function of a power supply is to convert one form of electrical energy to another and, as a result, power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power converters. Some power supplies are discrete, stand-alone devices, whereas others are built into larger devices along with their loads. Examples of the latter include power supplies found in desktop computers and consumer electronics devices. A CD-ROM /ˌsiːˌdiːˈrɒm/ is a pre-pressed optical compact disc which contains data. The name is an acronym which stands for "Compact Disc Read-Only Memory". Computers can read CD-ROMs, but cannot write on the CD-ROM's which are not writable or erasable. A network switch (sometimes known as a switching hub) is a computer networking device that is used to connect devices together on a computer network by performing a form of packet switching. A network switch is considered more advanced than a hub because a switch will only send a message to the device that needs or requests it, rather than broadcasting the same message out of each of its ports. A network switch is a multi-port network bridge that processes and forwards data at the data link layer(layer 2) of the OSI model. Some network switches have additional features, including the ability to route packets; these switches are commonly known as layer-3 or multilayer switches. Switches exist for various types of networks including Fibre Channel, Asynchronous Transfer...

...I don’t know if it is possible to sum up everything that happens to a teenager while we go through high school. Each of us is different in almost every way. Although we all experience different struggles, temptations, hardships, and lessons taught to us in life, one constant similarity can always be found. That is that we all have the light of Christ and through that light, we can all receive our Heavenly Father’s words and love constantly. Revelation, it is a word that is thrown around a lot in conference talks, Sunday school lessons, and seminary classes. I believe revelation to literally be Heavenly Father talking to us on a personal level. In order to hear this communication, we are continuously instructed to listen for the still small voice of the Holy Ghost which is meant to tell us the way to go, but do we really listen for it? Do we know how to listen for it? If you answered no to either of these questions, then you are like I was until I was blessed with the opportunity to go through the process of recognizing and receiving revelation. Tuning in to the spirit of Heavenly Father requires a humble heart and a sacrifice of time and effort. I cannot put to words what it is like, but I can tell you how it has blessed my life, and how it will bless yours. After school ended last year, like the rest of you, I was looking forward to a summer of not having to wake up early or go to class. On a late evening, after about a week of enjoying my summer, I remembered that I would...

...and affection. A part of what she was missing was compensated by the love and admiration her fans showered her with and what she claims made her the star that she was. Her combination of beauty, sexiness, intelligence and vulnerability is what made her legendary, who continues to inspire many till this day, however that is not all that she was. Marilyn was famous for acting, modeling, singing, etc. She certainly had the whole package. However the entire world was mesmerized by her because of her sexuality and charm. She posed nude for a calendar shot and appeared on the first issue of playboy. The promotion of those photos made Monroe a very popular star. Her fame enlarged when she won a golden globe for her performance in the movie “Some like it hot”. And what launched her as a sex symbol was her appearance in big roles like” gentlemen prefer blondes” and “how to marry a millionaire”. Her dumb character was used for comedic purposes in films; however she was not dumb at all. In fact people recall her being a perspicacious and shrewd business woman who took her craft very seriously. Unlike other contemporary celebrities she was not afraid to take risks. She was smart enough to strike a balance between satisfying her appetite without disappointing the public especially her fans. Trying to preserve an impeccable stain free reputation can be quite the challenge especially with factors that interfere with the process of verifying the soundness of this reputation. Marilyn was...

...B. Society’s Child – My Autobiography In 1965 the civil rights movement was still at its highest. It was 10 years ago since Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to at white man in the bus. A lot had changed since, but some people could not stand the black, while others began to accept them as being equal with the white people – people were divided. Some did not dare to speak up about acceptance of the black, because they were afraid of being killed. It was the circumstances at that time, but the 15 years old singer/songwriter Janis Ian, was not afraid – at first. She wrote a song about an interracial romance, and not everyone found it acceptable. Janis Ian got a lot of hate mail, threats and even got shouted of the stage, but this only became a turning point for her life and singing career. Janis Ian’s autobiography is written as an article and is divided into columns. The main purpose of a structure build like an article is to inform the readers, and so do this autobiography. It also makes it very easy to read, and her messages also seem clearer. The text contains flashbacks on page 2, column 2 to page 3, column 1 and on page 3, column 2 to page 3, column 1. She uses the flashbacks as an information to the readers about the former circumstances. This gives us a better understanding of the situation. It is very important for Janis Ian that the readers of her autobiography understand how she feels, and feel compassion with her. She is very afraid of going back on stage...

...could not make a believable promise to disgorge the cash. Paying out today's cash balance ($54 million) would not solve the problem. Borrowing and paying the proceeds to shareholders served to reinforce managements's promise not to retain future excess cash. Sealed Air's management faced many alternative uses for the company's cash. Among them were launching a capital expenditure program, buying another company, increasing the regular dividend, or starting to manage a portfolio of securities. One could argue that the decision to recapitalize demonstrates a failure on the part of the top management team; they should have been able to find something productive to do with the money. In fact, Dunphy felt strongly that his job was not to be a portfolio manager, nor did he want to waste shareholders' money on a second-rate acquisition. He decided not only to pay out the cash on hand, but to borrow against the company's future cash flows and pay the $40 special dividend. Dunphy felt the market was "substantially undervaluing" the company's stock and seriously considered paying out $45 - almost the entire stock price - to demonstrate that there was excess value to be realized. Future cash flows would be committed to lenders who had a legally enforceable claim on a specified cash flow stream. Financing the Transaction Many shareholders felt this leverage would make the company riskier. Moreover, the banks had a negative reaction. First, management, as shareholders, would...

...| Unit 2 Assignment 1 | UNIT 2 ASSIGNMENT 1: Calculate the Window of Vulnerability | | Chris Riddle | 12/22/2015 | Instructor: Mr. Sprinkle | To calculate the WoV, we must consider the following (Stefan Frei, 2013): 1. Discovery Time is the earliest date that a vulnerability is found and known to pose a security risk. 2. Exploit Time is the earliest date an exploit for a vulnerability is available. 3. Disclosure Time is the time to make security information available to the public in a standardized, understandable format. The publishing channel must satisfy the following requirements: a. Free Access: the information must be made to the public free of charge. b. Independence: the information must be published by a widely accepted and independent source. c. Validation: the vulnerability has been analyzed by security experts & includes risk rating information. 4. Patch Time is the earliest date the vendor or the originator of the software releases a fix, workaround, or a patch that provides protection against the exploitation of the vulnerability. The time between each of these areas or, the vulnerability’s lifecycle is divided into three risk areas. Black Risk - during the time from discovery to disclosure, only a closed group is aware of the vulnerability. Gray Risk - during the time from disclosure to patch the user of the software waits for the vendor to issue a patch. White Risk - the time from patch availability...

...As a former Soviet citizen and Soviet Jew, I experienced a huge discrimination in the USSR. All Soviet citizens had passports with a record of nationality in them. Some people had Russian nationality, some Ukranian nationality, and some, like me, had a Jewish record on the first page. We needed to show a passport when applying for jobs, getting housing, or entering University. And when you had a Jewish record it was like being a registered sex offender in the US today. Jews were pariahs in the USSR. You should not tell anybody you were a Jew. Some Russian people would beat you. Silently, the Soviet government supported this. When I was a child, some neighbors knew we were Jews, so they sent their kids to fight with me. I was beaten many times, just because of the Jewish Scarlett Letter. The Soviet Police were responsible for maintaining the passport system, and putting the Scarlett Jewish ID there. This looks just like the situation for sex offenders in many states today. When their neighbors learn a sex offender family has moved next door, the sex offenders and their families are hassled, possibly their houses attacked, and some sex offenders have even been killed. After graduating from high school I was going to Leningrad University. A University worker asked for my passport. He made a note about nationality, and told me there are too many Jews here. As a result I got an F on my first test, and could not enter University. I was an A+ student in high school. When I tried...
