1.The objective of this question is to help you understand how the critical ecosystem services are impacted by economic activity and some things we can do to solve those problems.
To a great extent, Economics is about connecting the dots (finding relationships between seemingly unrelated things).
For now, Earth is the only place we can live. Our ability to live on this planet is supported by the many Ecosystems active on the planet. Our behavior disrupts those Ecosystems and all the Ecosystem Services. Those disrupted Ecosystem Services in turn have impacts on the people and economies of the global north and global south. It is very important that you develop a good understanding of the interaction of our behavior and the environmental and economic consequences of that behavior. This question is part of the topic called Intro to some key concepts of Economics.
Pick 5 Ecosystem Services from the list in slide13of the topic called Intro to some key concepts of Economics.
•For each of your 5 ecosystem services, please explain how each is supposed to work. This is key to answering the entire question, so please focus on this. Google can help with this!
•For each of your 5 ecosystem services, please thoroughly explain at least one human behavior that has disrupted of the operation of the service. Please be thorough.
•For each of your 5 Ecosystem Services, explain how the disruptions to the Ecosystem Service impact the two different parts of the world (the global north nations and global south nations).More specifically, explain how the lives of the people and the national economies are impacted.
•For each of your 5 ecosystem services, thoroughly explain 3things that we should start doing right now to repair or at least stop the damage to the 5 Ecosystem Services you selected. Be sure you explain how each of your recommendations would actually lead to solution of the problem. Remember, you need 3 recommendations for each of your ecosystem services.
2.The objective of this question is to help you:
•understand the real issues of scarcity of resources and the choices we must make.
•Understand the issues of rational behavior as it applies to a real life problem
•Understand utility concepts as they are applied to the Keystone Pipeline Project.
•Understand some of the basics of the theory of consumer behavior.
•Understand the concepts of marginal analysis as applied to the Keystone Pipeline project.
Planet Earth is our only home for the time being. As global populations grow and our resources dwindle, we should worry more about the issues of SCARCITYAND CHOICE. All parts of this question are part of the topic called Intro to some key concepts of Economics.

This is by no means the perfect answer. It could certainly be better. But, I
wanted to give you a sense of what I am looking for in an answer.
Question:
Please thoroughly and completely explain the law of demand.
Answer:
Definition of the law of demand
o Demand is a schedule or curve that shows the various amounts of a
product that consumers are willing and able to purchase at each of a series
of possible prices during a specified period of time.
The law of demand tells us that there is an inverse relationship between price and
quantity demanded. This is supported by the following three concepts:
Diminishing marginal utility which means consumption of successive units of a
particular product will yield less and less marginal utility.
o Marginal utility – the change in utility that results from a one-unit change
in the consumption of a good or service.
o The income effect - which means that a lower price increases the
purchasing power of the buyers money income allowing the buyer to
purchase more of the product than before.
o The substitution effect - which means that at a lower price buyers are
motivated to substitute what is now a less expensive product for similar
products that are now relatively more expensive.
The law of demand is graphically represented as a downward sloping curve.
An increase in demand is expressed graphically as a shift of the demand curve to
the right while a decrease in demand is expressed as a shift of the demand curve
to the left.
An increase or decrease in quantity demanded is represented as a movement alone
a given demand curve and is caused by an increase or decrease of the price of the
product.
A demand curve will shift as a result of a change in one of the determinants of
demand which are:
Buyer tastes – a change in tastes can cause buyers to demand more, or less of
a product
Number of buyers – an increase in the number of buyers will result in an
increase in the demand for a product
Income –
a. If income increases and the demand for a good increases, that good is
called a normal good.
b. If income increases and the demand for a good decreases, that good is
called an inferior good
Expectations – expectations of buyers will impact demand. If the buyer
expects the price of the product to increase, this would likely cause a decrease
in demand for the product.
Prices of related goods –
a. If the price of a good increases, we would expect the demand for the
substitute good to increase.
b. If the price of a good increases, we would expect the demand for its
complement to decrease.
Price of non-related goods – a price change for one good would have no
impact on the demand for the other good.

Here is an example of a question along with a possible answer.
Please note the format. Please do not write your answers in the standard
block paragraph format!
This is by no means the perfect answer. It could certainly be better. But, I
wanted to give you a sense of what I am looking for in an answer.
Question:
Please thoroughly and completely explain the law of demand.
Answer:
Definition of the law of demand
o Demand is a schedule or curve that shows the various amounts of a
product that consumers are willing and able to purchase at each of a series
of possible prices during a specified period of time.
The law of demand tells us that there is an inverse relationship between price and
quantity demanded. This is supported by the following three concepts:
Diminishing marginal utility which means consumption of successive units of a
particular product will yield less and less marginal utility.
o Marginal utility – the change in utility that results from a one-unit change
in the consumption of a good or service.
o The income effect - which means that a lower price increases the
purchasing power of the buyers money income allowing the buyer to
purchase more of the product than before.
o The substitution effect - which means that at a lower price buyers are
motivated to substitute what is now a less expensive product for similar
products that are now relatively more expensive.
The law of demand is graphically represented as a downward sloping curve.
An increase in demand is expressed graphically as a shift of the demand curve to
the right while a decrease in demand is expressed as a shift of the demand curve
to the left.
An increase or decrease in quantity demanded is represented as a movement alone
a given demand curve and is caused by an increase or decrease of the price of the
product.
A demand curve will shift as a result of a change in one of the determinants of
demand which are:
Buyer tastes – a change in tastes can cause buyers to demand more, or less of
a product
Number of buyers – an increase in the number of buyers will result in an
increase in the demand for a product
Income –
a. If income increases and the demand for a good increases, that good is
called a normal good.
b. If income increases and the demand for a good decreases, that good is
called an inferior good
Expectations – expectations of buyers will impact demand. If the buyer
expects the price of the product to increase, this would likely cause a decrease
in demand for the product.
Prices of related goods –
a. If the price of a good increases, we would expect the demand for the
substitute good to increase.
b. If the price of a good increases, we would expect the demand for its
complement to decrease.
Price of non-related goods – a price change for one good would have no
impact on the demand for the other good.

Here's the description for Program 2 and 3.
Program 2 Dreams and Visions
http://www.learner.org/courses/globalart/theme/2/index.html
Through art, we can perceive more than what we see with our eyes. From Aboriginal artists painting unseen forces to Surrealists exploring the recesses of the unconscious mind, individuals have found ways to give form to unknowable mysteries, personal fantasies, and inner visions. Artist Sandy Skoglund talks about the life of the imagination.
Program 3 History and Memory
http://www.learner.org/courses/globalart/theme/3/index.html
People have documented history, and also have shaped it through art. Art commemorates achievements and failures, recording and creating communal and personal memories. At times painters and sculptors have appropriated artistic forms of the past to make statements in the present. Multimedia artist Shimon Attie shares work that concerns questions of memory, place, and identity.
Describe what each program is about. Then, describe your reaction or opinion of what you saw in each the programs. Give at least 4 major topics from each program. Name 2 or 3 items in each show that you thought were interesting.

This painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti is called the Bower Meadow. Both this painting by Rossetti and the Raphael are examples of realistic paintings that are considered "idealism". The artist paints realistically but, emphasizes certain aspects for the sake of beauty. This painting is also good as an example of our concept "texture" so be sure to let me know about how textures are depicted - Are they realistic? Are the marks for design's sake?
discuss how this artist uses this elements to create the desired effect in the final work. Be sure to discuss how LINE, SHAPE, LIGHT, SPACE, MASS, VOLUME, TEXTURE and COLOR are used in the paintings. If any other concepts from the lectures are noticeable, please include them.
Some of the Visual Elements that we are studying do not apply to paintings as much as they apply to sculpture. Mass is not something that applies to paintings to the same extent as it does for sculptures. Since this is a painting AND we are seeing it on the internet, it is hard to get a sense of size of this painting. So, "Mass" is not going to be an area that is covered to much of an extent. It will be important in later works.
Sometimes, an artist concentrates on some elements. Sometimes, they don't use one of the elements in order to concentrate on others. If you feel this is the case, explain why. There are a couple of interesting features in the design layout and composition of this painting. Can you spot them? There are also a few elements repeated in different places.
- Line, Shape and Light. How does Rossetti use these elements?
Do a quick search using google on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Did Rossetti have any involvement .

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
1.The objective of this question is to help you understand how t.docx
1. 1.The objective of this question is to help you understand how
the critical ecosystem services are impacted by economic
activity and some things we can do to solve those problems.
To a great extent, Economics is about connecting the dots
(finding relationships between seemingly unrelated things).
For now, Earth is the only place we can live. Our ability to live
on this planet is supported by the many Ecosystems active on
the planet. Our behavior disrupts those Ecosystems and all the
Ecosystem Services. Those disrupted Ecosystem Services in
turn have impacts on the people and economies of the global
north and global south. It is very important that you develop a
good understanding of the interaction of our behavior and the
environmental and economic consequences of that behavior.
This question is part of the topic called Intro to some key
concepts of Economics.
Pick 5 Ecosystem Services from the list in slide13of the topic
called Intro to some key concepts of Economics.
•For each of your 5 ecosystem services, please explain how each
is supposed to work. This is key to answering the entire
question, so please focus on this. Google can help with this!
•For each of your 5 ecosystem services, please thoroughly
explain at least one human behavior that has disrupted of the
operation of the service. Please be thorough.
•For each of your 5 Ecosystem Services, explain how the
disruptions to the Ecosystem Service impact the two different
parts of the world (the global north nations and global south
nations).More specifically, explain how the lives of the people
2. and the national economies are impacted.
•For each of your 5 ecosystem services, thoroughly explain
3things that we should start doing right now to repair or at least
stop the damage to the 5 Ecosystem Services you selected. Be
sure you explain how each of your recommendations would
actually lead to solution of the problem. Remember, you need 3
recommendations for each of your ecosystem services.
