...Mr. Hong English A March 19, 2012 A Place You Know Well During my time as a child, I remember visiting so many places with my family throughout Southern California. One of the best memories was when I visited Lake Arrowhead. Located in the beautiful mountains of San Bernardino, Lake Arrowhead is a tiny city where every family would enjoy living in. Not only is Lake Arrowhead Village a great place to live but great place to enjoy nature’s beauty at any time of the day. I remember Lake Arrowhead for its beautiful scenery, it is family-oriented, and it has many outdoor activities. While visiting Lake Arrowhead in the winter time, I fell head over heels with the beautiful scenery that nature brought upon my eyes. As I arrived to the house in the evening, I looked up and I was able to see the stars that lit up the sky above me. As I walk down to the lake, I was able to hear the crickets’ chirping and the owls hooting as they hear the crackling of the snow that I’m stepping upon. As I look through the horizon of the snow, I saw the never ending slope falling towards the lake that apparently was frozen. As I sat on one of the unfrozen steps, I looked up once again, and I see the beautiful full moon sitting on a cloud. The stars shined even brighter when the moon glistened its light down to Earth. The lake looked really calm and I only saw a couple of ripples being caused by a female duck and her ducklings swimming in the middle of the lake. In the morning when I looked outside...

The lake looked really calm and I only saw a couple of ripples being caused by a female duck and her ducklings swimming in the middle of the lake. In the morning when I looked outside the window, the sun shined beautifully through the icicles that dangled down the side of the house. When I drove down to the city, you can see the cities that are at sea level. As I continued looking down, I see the clouds climbing up the mountains. And as I reach out of the car’s window, I can feel the refreshing mist that touches my fingertips. The scenery of the cities down below can’t no longer be seen because of the clouds the cover the scene like a...

...Homework #1 Answers ECO 310 20 points possible 1 National Income Accounting (15 points) Consider an economy that produces and consumes bread, coffee, and automobiles. In the following table, we have data for two different years. The first 2 questions refer to this table. Year 2007 Year 2008 $20,000 $21,000 $1.25 $1.50 $2.00 $2.10 100 120 100,000 115,000 400,000 380,000 Price of 1 Automobile Price of 1 loaf of Bread Price of 1 cup of Coffee Number of Automobiles Produced Number of Cups of Coffee Produced Number of Loaves of Bread Produced 1. Using the year 2007 as the base year, compute the following statistics for each year: nominal GDP, real GDP, the GDP deflator (a Paasche price index) and the CPI (a Laspeyres price index). For the CPI, assume that the representative basket of goods is exactly the one produced in the year 2007 Answer: To calculate nominal GDP for 2007 is $20, 000 ∗ 100 + $1.25 ∗ 400, 000 + $2 ∗ 100, 000 = $2, 000, 000 + $500, 000 + $200, 000 = $2, 700, 000 for 2008 $21, 000 ∗ 120 + $1.50 ∗ 380, 000 + $2.1 ∗ 115, 000 = $2, 520, 000 + $570, 000 + $241, 500 = $3, 331, 500 To calculate real GDP for 2007, since 2007 is the base year real GDP 2007 equals $2,700,000 1 for 2008 just use the 2007 prices $20, 000 ∗ 120 + $1.25 ∗ 380, 000 + $2 ∗ 115, 000 = $2, 400, 000 + $475, 000 + $230, 000 = $3, 105, 000 The amount of stuff produced in 2008, at 2007 prices is the real GDP in 2008 To calculate the GDP deflator in both years simply divide Nominal GDP by Real GDP, so for...

...backdrop of the vibrant city. Quick cuts to street level scenes of well-known locales between title cards naming the cast. These scenes and title cards are cut with a moving shot of the George Washington Bridge (span, cables, deck, towers, etc.) from different angles and perspectives. . The credits end on one continuous shot as we approach a figure standing on the south side of the bridge, staring out over the Hudson River and the lights of Manhattan to the south. This is DECKER JONAS. He is tall and striking, wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie. The camera then circles behind Decker going from left to right, catching Deckers view of the city at sunset. As the camera completes its half circle to the right and comes to a complete stop at DECKER’S ¾ profile we see he is holding a piece of paper, it is folded, he unfolds the paper and begins to read, a voice over begins. It is Decker’s voice. DECKER: Mom. Dad. I feel as though I’m losing myself again. [ 1. PAN to OS Right showing the letter] I know I am. I can feel life spinning away from me, and this time I have nothing to hold on to. Its as though I’m on one of those tacky carnival rides that Dad would take me on at Edgewater Days when I was a kid, although now he’s not there to hold me in. I can feel it, I’m losing control. [ 2. Rotate to the right and pull back to the previous position] I know that, this time, there is no going back. And I also know that I can’t put anyone else through another one of these trying...

...today? It really is about whom you know; what you know helps too. Add onto that that you need to do extensive research on the company you will interview for and hope that they have done their own research on you such as call your references at least. But how far is a company willing to go to find out what kind of person you are before that initial interview? Some companies go as far as checking out your Facebook page, as well as your LinkedIn page, I don’t believe this is acceptable, nor do I think a potential employee should go to that length either. Have you ever heard the phrase it’s not about who you know, it’s about what you know? Well, today that is not always the case. Networking is very important when looking for that perfect fit job. You might ask, “What is networking?” Networking is a support system of information sharing and services (jobs) among individuals and groups having a common interest (dictionary.com). There are several ways of networking, some more common are over the internet and advertised or hidden market jobs (No One Will Hire Me). Advertised are just that, they are jobs found in the classified ads, or posted on websites such as Monster.com or CorridorCareers.com. Hidden jobs are the unadvertised jobs, or those that are word of mouth. Sometimes these are the best jobs and often pay more and have a more promising future. Internet is a great way to network as well, there are many sites out there that help you understand and help develop your...

...topics in the course. This book is meant to be used in conjunction with the course work I have created for you. But here’s what you have to understand: this is not your typical finance course that just deals with money. Over the years, I have learned that I can tell you everything you need to do with money, but I can’t make you take action. Clearly, something must be preventing you from doing the things you know you should do. The goal of this course is both to teach you what to do with money and to help you remove those obstacles. Money is the currency of life. It is a physical manifestation of who you are. You are the one who goes out and earns a paycheck. You are the one who decides to take that paycheck and spend it, save it, or invest it. If you don’t have all the money you want in your life right now, then I am going to ask you to go within to discover why you are doing without. So, then the question becomes, Who are you and what must you do to bring the money you need and want into your life? And that is what makes this course di erent from any other personal finance course that has ever been o ered. It deals with the who—meaning you—and not just the what of money. v A Note from Suze I hope that in general you feel powerful and in control of your life. But do you really feel powerful and in control when it comes to your money? If you are like most people, you do not. As we grow, we claim our power in one way or another: We take on jobs, start families, and strive...

...2016 TUTORIAL BUSN7050 Corporate Accounting Tutorial Semester 1, 2016 About Tutorials …So you begin by being uncertain as to what the answer is.…The question of doubt and uncertainty is what is necessary to begin; for if you already know the answer there is no need to gather any evidence about it.…[A]nother way and a very important one that should not be neglected and that is very vital is to put together ideas to try to enforce a logical consistency among the various things that you know. It is a very valuable thing to try to connect this, what you know, with that, that you know, and try to find out if they are consistent. And the more activity in the direction of trying to put together ideas of different directions, the better it is. …Now we have found that this is of paramount importance in order to progress. We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and there is no learning. There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. Richard P. Feynman, Nobel Laureate Tutorials serve a variety of purposes. One purpose is to give you an opportunity to improve your understanding by completing the set questions. In addition, tutorial participation encourages the development of problem solving and critical thinking skills as well as oral communication skills and written communication skills (you are expected to prepare written responses to these set questions). These skills include thinking on your...

...Ariana Heard Bradley A. Waltman June 27, 2016 I'll Be Your Bestie Ten-Minute Topic: Write about something you did to fit into a group. What did you do? Were you forced to do it, or did you do it voluntarily? Did anyone help you? What was the outcome? Did completing this action give you what you had expected? I loved having ALL the attention on me, hanging out with the popular kids, being the best volleyball player and well known by everyone in school! I went to this grade school called Monroe located in MN from 1st to 8th grade. When 6th grade came around it was hard to keep friends because everyone I got close to moved, went to a different school, or we just grew apart. So I invested my time in after school activities, volleyball, and homework. I would always try to hang out with the popular group outside of school but they were always up to no good! Plus my step-dad would always talk my mother out of letting friends spend the night or even come over! Hence the group of friends I had. Was ONLY during school hours! During 7th and 8th grade I decided to change up somethings... The towns capacity was growing frequently. The school would get a herd of new students every week like the school was competing for students against other schools. But if you enroll in my school you would get free trip to the Stare Fair! Due to my school having so many new students my peers started to divide into two groups. Their was two cliques forming. The new kids versus the old kids...

...I come out of my store to gauge how things are. Around 4 pm a car had stopped in the street, blocking traffic after being hit repeatedly by rocks and bricks. A police car raced down the street by my store, rounding up three youths. A car drove by a short time later driven by a white man and I heard someone yelled out, “It’s a white man, get him.” A barrage of bricks and rocks struck the car, knocking out windows and leaving ugly dents. The driver lowered his head from sight and accelerated. Thank goodness he was able to get away. Aug. 14 1965 Today is not looking any better than it did yesterday. More and more people are loitering in the streets. I went to go outside and heard remarks that maybe they should start looting the stores. Well I rushed back inside and locked up. I had a gun under the register that I got out so I could scare of anyone who tried to break in. A short time later, a group of about 20 young men started to approach my store. They stared directly into the store. They stood there for what seemed like forever contemplating if they should act. Suddenly from nowhere a rock smashed into my front door cracking the glass. That was all it took as the rest of the men started to charge and smash into the windows. By a small miracle a cop car came down the street and turned on the sirens...

...began to be opened, every day after school someone would find the locker combinations out someone and just open them. Nothing would be touched, nothing would be moved, nothing would be taken. The locker door would just be opened, wide open for everyone to see inside of it. However Connor was the first person at school every morning, he had become so intrigued by the situation that he had now begun to take pictures and notes on the area. About 2 weeks after all of those started happening things started to go missing, and it wasn't from random people taking things, not it was from the one person because no had been left in the school once school was out. This school was very odd, it was a small school that doesn't have many people, so everyone knows each other around here. However, with this kind of situation is having come to a shock for everyone since everyone was so close to all the other students and faculty. Once things started to go missing Connor began to ask people every school morning who might of or could have possibly seen who had been doing this to all of the lockers. After a week of doing this every morning, he had gotten three names out of everyone the most amount of times. Alexis Smooth, the daughter of our school Vice-Principal, she has dark brown hair and is usually dressed in very comfortable clothes. She is 16 and acts like this outgoing and cheerful person ALL the time. Alexis and Connor go way back, the first reason why they actually ended up being friends is because...
