Human beings (and many other animals) are territorial - the distinction between "mine" and "yours" is not learned or cultural; it is deeply rooted in our animal instincts. This is what makes the argument from property rights so powerful. Supporters of Capitalism (wise-users among them) believe that all property should be "mine," whereas Socialism (including most environmentalists, in some form or other) think that most property should be "ours." This is a very old and fundamental debate; "Capitalism" and "Socialism" are merely the newest names for the two sides. Modern socialists and anarchists usually agree that "I" am entitled to enough private property for my own personal use (no one wants to share a toothbrush!) but that all excess property should belong to the community (why do I need two houses? for example). And the property I personally need is very little indeed. Any more than that, and I am usurping what others could use: I am getting rich at someone else's expense; I am creating two classes of society, the "haves" and the "have nots." To get to the point: opponents of wise use believe that it is wrong for me to abuse, pollute, destroy or otherwise damage property that should benefit everyone. I can trash my own house, if I like; that's my business; but when I trash the larger environment, that's everyone's business, even if the property laws say that environment is "mine." The "wise use" position is that "mine" is mine, no limits, no restrictions. When modern capitalism evolved in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it worked only because new laws defined "property" in new and inventive ways so that the capitalists could be certain of keeping the profits they made in the free market. No entrepreneur would want to start a new business if he could not be certain that it, and any profit it made, were really his. (At least, that was what the capitalists and their partners in the newly centralized governments said.) In earlier ages, philosophers believed that property is temporary; that it is ours only so long as we actually use it (this is called "usufruct" in feudal law). After all, we come into the world with nothing, and we leave it with nothing, so property cannot be "ours" in any permanent sense. Medieval cities and kingdoms actually had laws against charging interest on loans or charging more for a loaf of bread than the poor could afford - because economic wealth was seen as belonging to the community, not to the individual. In fact, the entire Judeao-Christian-Muslim belief system preaches against the use of interest. They call it usury, and it is generally agreed to be greedy and potentially evil. Unfortunately, in the modern era, the Christians (and almost everyone else) seem to have abandoned this law. The Jewish and Islamic communities still adhere to it in varying degrees: the Islamic much more so. These notions of community and mutual benefit changed when the new market economy began to encourage greed and acquisiti ...

Understandings Of Individualsim
Individualism developed after the Medieval period and Renaissance as people resisted hierarchies and focused on human potential. The Protestant Reformation also challenged authority and promoted individualistic ideals. Key principles of classical liberalism and individualism include the rule of law with equal treatment under clear rules, individual rights and freedoms like religion and voting, and private property rights over land and possessions. Economic freedom allows free markets with limited government intervention, and competition is seen as beneficial with individuals acting in self-interest inadvertently helping society through the "invisible hand" of supply and demand.

This document discusses the need for fundamental changes to the current system to prioritize people over profits. It argues that the balance of power has shifted from big business to individuals through social media, and that united citizen action can enact change. The document advocates for reforming industries like mortgages that keep people in debt, and suggests principles of natural law, equity and human rights as a basis for a more just system.

Against Authority - Hogeye Bill
Our subject is political authority, the authority rightfully due a state. So to begin, let's define "state."
state - an organization with an effective monopoly on the legal use of force in a given geographic area.
This definition is from Max Weber, who put it thusly: "A state is a human community that (successfully) claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory." Having this relatively sharp definition of "state" at our disposal, we can better understand and evaluate historic anarchist thought. We are at an advantage over even luminaries like Proudhon and Spooner, in that we have more experience with the modern state, an institutional analysis of the state, and new reasons to distrust and hate the state. We can stand on the shoulders of anti-statist theorists like Tucker, Nock and Rothbard, leverage our greater understanding of economics, and discover new wisdom and new understanding.
Anti-statists tend to see society and state as inherently opposing institutions. Society is the sum total of all voluntary human interaction. Aggression (the violation of rights, the initiation of force or threat of it) is morally wrong. The state is aggression legalized and legitimized. Anti-statist assertions:
1. Legitimacy - No state has legitimate moral authority to rule an individual. 2. Desirability - All states are unnecessary and undesirable. 3. Purity - All states should be abolished immediately.
The political philosophy that supports all three anti-statist assertions is called "anarchism." Prior to the late 1700's, known anarchist writings were negative, purely a critique of the institution of state. They did not offer a positive alternative. An eloquent example is Vindication of Natural Society by Edmund Burke. Burke stresses that natural society - without artificial government - couldn't possibly be worse than the known bloody and tyrannical history of states. He shows how states fail, and the undesirability of states, but offers no positive vision of a stateless society. Modern anarchists have ideas about how such a society would be organized and brought about. Thus, for full-fledged anarchists there is an additional consideration: How a stateless society may work.
Draft aspirantura essay David Powell 9 April 2014
1. The document criticizes the common economic view that assigning property rights over the environment and allowing pollution is the best way to solve environmental problems. It argues this violates nature and human nature.
2. It proposes that ensuring six basic rights for all people - like access to food, water, healthcare - would eliminate the need for individuals to pollute or violate others' rights within the current economic system.
3. The document questions definitions of progress and innovation that are tied to economic growth, arguing a society should prioritize protecting the environment and human rights in determining its path forward.
Conservatism Vs Libertarianism
Neoconservatism emerged in the 1960s as a response to the dominant liberalism of the time. Irving Kristol, known as the "godfather of neoconservatism," helped articulate conservative ideals and push back against liberal policies. He influenced many intellectuals and policymakers, contributing to the rise of the Republican party in the late 1960s and their electoral victories in the 1980s. Neoconservatism combined traditional conservative values with a willingness to use assertive foreign policy to promote American national interests.

Private Property Rights. Political economic digest series - 3
This document discusses the importance of clearly defined private property rights. It contains three readings on this topic. The first reading discusses how private property rights provide incentives for people to make efficient use of resources and conserve them. It explains how lack of property rights can lead to the "tragedy of the commons" where resources are overexploited. The second reading further explains how private property rights encourage productive and beneficial development and use of property. It also promotes conservation for future generations. The third reading discusses how billions of poor around the world lack opportunities to generate wealth because they do not have clear property rights over the resources they possess. Well-defined property rights are important for economic growth and prosperity.

Social contract
The document discusses the history and theories of the social contract from philosophers like Rousseau, Hobbes, Locke, and Rawls. It also discusses proposed changes needed for a new social contract, including strengthening social protections like universal basic income or better targeted safety nets due to economic insecurity. Another proposed change is ensuring universal access to affordable internet as it becomes essential for work, citizenship, and services. A new social contract may not promise job security but should guarantee social and economic security through alternative means as the relationship between employers and employees changes.

Ana Research - For Linked In Slide Presentation(Without Footnotes)
This document discusses the history of discrimination against indigenous peoples' intellectual property rights in economic theory. It argues that early theories from Aristotle to Locke failed to recognize indigenous peoples' right to property and labor. While Locke acknowledged some individual rights for indigenous peoples, the res nullius theory supported European conquest and dispossession of indigenous lands and knowledge. Adam Smith's theories also did not fully recognize indigenous intellectual labor and creativity. The document concludes that including indigenous peoples' rights and recognizing the economic value of their labor and inventions is important to prevent biopiracy and ensure their fair inclusion in the global market.

Document #1: History of the Economic Systems and Theories
Capitalism
Capitalism is an economic system that emphasizes private ownership of the factors of
production, freedom of choice, and individual incentives. These freedoms and
incentives apply to workers, investors, consumers, and business owners. In pure
capitalism, the government does not interfere with the economy—the wages of workers,
the prices of goods, what producers can make, the ways that businesses make or sell
their goods and services, or any other regulations. Capitalism assumes that the best
way to serve society is to let people produce, sell, and buy as they wish.
The goal of capitalism is to create what is called a free market. In economic terms, a
market is not literally just a market like a grocery store. A market or marketplace is
wherever all sorts of goods and services can be sold and bought. In a free market or
free enterprise economy like that under capitalism, the government places no limits on
the freedom of buyers and sellers to make their economic decisions.
Origins of Capitalism
The basic theories about capitalism and free trade come from Adam Smith. Smith was a
Scottish philosopher and economist who lived in the 1700s. In his famous book The
Wealth of Nations, Smith suggested the government take a laissez-faire approach to the
economy. Laissez-faire is a French term meaning “to let alone.” Smith thought the
forces of the marketplace would act as an “invisible hand” guiding economic choices for
the best possible results.
Competition plays a key role in a free-enterprise or free-market economy because
sellers compete for resources to produce goods and services at the most reasonable
price. If they are successful, they make more money. At the same time, consumers
compete over limited products to buy what they want and need. Finally, these same
consumers, now in their role as workers, compete to sell their skills and labor for the
best wages or salaries they can get.
Pure capitalism has five characteristics: private ownership and control of property and
economic resources, free enterprise, competition, freedom of choice, and the possibility
of profits.
Free Enterprise in the United States
A true and total capitalist system does not exist in reality. The United States, however, is
a leading example of a capitalist system in which the government plays a role. Our
society is deeply rooted in the value of individual initiative—that each person knows
what is best for himself or herself. We also respect the rights of all persons to own
private property. Finally, our society recognizes individual freedom, including the
freedom to make economic choices. However, because the U.S. government also
regulates many aspects of the economy, it does not have a purely capitalistic economy.
Mixed Economies
Economists describe the economies in the United States and many other nations as
mixed economies. Mixed economies combine elements of capitalism and socialism.

Human rights
This document provides a summary of the historical origins and philosophical debates surrounding the concept of human rights. It discusses how the idea of natural rights emerged from classical Greek philosophers like Aristotle and was further developed by thinkers such as Aquinas, Grotius, Hobbes, Kant, Locke, Rousseau and others. However, the concept was also criticized by thinkers like Burke and Bentham who argued that rights are created by societies rather than existing naturally. The document traces how these debates helped shape contemporary notions of universal human rights but also notes challenges to the idea that rights are truly universal or inalienable given their origins in Western political thought.
The Economic Way of Thinking
The document provides an introduction to economic concepts including scarcity, unlimited wants, limited resources, supply and demand, and the price mechanism. It discusses how economics studies how people use limited resources to satisfy unlimited wants. Through the invisible hand of the market and price signals, the interests of market participants are coordinated to allocate resources efficiently even without central planning. Cooperation emerges through social interaction and mutual adjustment of plans.
Independence or interdependence-global_education_in_the_schools-nancy_pearcy-...
This document summarizes and critiques the concept of global education being promoted in some schools. It argues that global education aims to undermine national sovereignty and individual liberty in favor of a planned world order and global socialism. It discusses how textbooks and courses portray globalism positively while omitting negative aspects. Values clarification classes are said to teach moral relativism and discourage strong convictions to make students more accepting of compromising values for global cooperation. The document warns that a world government could result in totalitarian control and questions whether such a system would really be democratic.
Decoupling the state and the third sector, rob macmillan
1. The document discusses the Big Society policy in the UK and its implications for the relationship between the third sector and the state.
2. It analyzes the Big Society using theories of spontaneous order from Friedrich Hayek, suggesting that the third sector could be seen as a spontaneous order that is now decoupling from the state.
3. This decoupling or "great unsettlement" of the relationship signals a recasting of how the sector and state interact, with the state taking a less dominant role and the sector gaining more independence.
Human Rights (1) (1)
This document discusses the possibility of reaching a worldwide consensus on human rights. It argues that while the concept of human rights originated in Western societies, the values of democracy and human rights are increasingly accepted on a global scale. However, full agreement faces challenges, as other cultures may interpret concepts like individual rights and dignity differently. Still, the document believes that separating the philosophical principles from legal frameworks allows for the values like life, liberty and equality to be adopted more universally. It also acknowledges the important role of non-governmental organizations in advocating for human rights around the world.

HW in teams of 3 studentsAn oil remanufacturing company uses c.docx
HW in teams of 3 students
An oil remanufacturing company uses clay in its manufacturing process. This clay comes into the plant in 80-pound bags stacked 40 per pallet and 50 pallets per boxcar. The railroad spur comes into the plant property but your plant does not have a rail car siding. Two car loads per year are used. The union and the company agreed that the part time workers would be hired for one week, twice a year at the rate of $7.5 per hour to unload these cars. You feel that this is a bad job and no one should have to work this hard. You look into this project
1
Why is this done?
We need the clay, and the railroad is by far the cheapest way to transport it
What: 80pounds bags of clay=160,000 pound boxcar load
Where: from the boxcar in our yard to the storeroom, 300ft away
Who: 2 temporary workers
When: one week, twice a year
How: Present method: manually unload the pallets off the boxcar then move these pallets into the storeroom with the fork truck we already own
2
How much could you spend improving this job?
We spend a week, twice a year with 2 temporary workers at $7.5
4 weeks* 40 hours per week*7.5per hour = $1,200
3
Questions:
Should the current method stays the same?
Are there other alternatives?
Is the current method the cheapest in the long run?
How would you justify an expenditure over $3,000
What do you think about cumulative trauma disorders and work-related injuries?
4
Write a report with the answers to your questions.
Include figures, tables, and other sources of information to help justify the project and also answer the questions. You can certainly use the textbook to help you.
Include in your report a list of references and of course cite all your sources of information.
This work MUST be done in teams of 3 people or 2. No individual assignment will be accepted.

a. Select a foreign currency
b. Find the spot exchange rate for that currency
c. Select an amount between 150 million and 200 million
d. Select a number of months between 3 and 9
e. Select either payable or receivable. If you select payable, for the rest of the questions in this part of the assignment, assume a US firm is required to make a payment of the number selected in part c of the foreign currency from part a at the time selected in part d. If you select receivable, assume a US firm expects to receive a payment of the number of units selected in part c of the foreign currency from part a at the time selected in part d.
e. Describe the future payment (in $) from the above assumptions if the exchange rate remains the same as it is today.
2. (10 points) Explain how the firm can use leading or lagging to reduce the exchange rate risk created by this payment.
3. (20 points) Assume the US interest rate is 2% and the foreign interest rate is 5%, how can the firm hedge the transaction risk associated with the payment using a money market hedge?

HW 5 Math 405. Due beginning of class – Monday, 10 Oct 2016.docx
Romeo and Juliet's relationship is modeled mathematically. Their love and hate for each other oscillates over time based on a set of differential equations. Mercutio tries to interfere by negatively influencing Romeo's feelings for Juliet. This changes the model and results in a different outcome for Romeo and Juliet's relationship. The model is further complicated by Mercutio developing feelings for Juliet and Juliet having mixed feelings for both Romeo and Mercutio, creating a love triangle. The dynamics of this new system are analyzed using eigenvalues and phase planes. Additional models examine planetary orbits and competition between rabbits and sheep.

RSA Encryption
In RSA:
– P = E (D(P)) = D(E(P)) (order of D/E does not matter)
– More precisely: P = E(kE, D(kD, P)) = D(kD, E(kE, P))
Encryption: C = Pe mod n KE = e
– n is the key length
– Note, P is turned into an integer using a padding
scheme
– Given C, it is very difficult to find P without knowing

1. (Tadelis p.12) You plan on buying a used car. You have $12,000 and you are not
eligible for any loans. the prices of available cars on the lot are given as follows:
Make, model and year Price
Toyota Corolla 2002 9350
Toyota Camry 2001 10500
Buick Lesabre 2001 8825
Honda Civic 2000 9215
Subaru Impreza 2000 9690
For any given year, you prefer a Camry to an Impreza, an Impreza to a Corolla, a
Corolla to a Civic, and a Civic to a LeSabre. For any given year, you are willing to
pay $999 to move from any given car to the next preferred one. For example, if the
price of the Corolla is z, then you are willing to buy it rather than a Civic if the Civic
costs more than z−999 but prefer the civic if it costs less than this. For any given car,
you are willing to move to a model a year older if it is cheaper by at least $500. For
example, if the price of a 2003 Civic is x, then you are willing to buy it rather than a
2002 Civic, if the 2002 Civic costs more than x−500.
(a) What is your set of possible alternatives?
(b) What are your preferences between each pair of alternatives in your set?
(c) What car would you choose?

Symmetric Information and Competitive

1 Introduction
We are all familiar with the general idea of uncertainty. We are uncertain
about tomorrow’s weather, about whether we will wake up with a headache
tomorrow morning, and about whether someone’s estimate of the labor re-
quired to repair our car is correct. Considerable effort is directed toward
coping with uncertainty. Some farmers have costly irrigation systems in or-
der to make output less dependent on variations in rainfall. And many of
us buy insurance of various sorts to limit our exposure to some kinds of un-
certainty. Moreover, there are government programs like disaster aid and
unemployment insurance that are intended to offset some of the effects of
uncertainty.
Here is an example of the kind of setting we will study. There are N
people labelled 1, 2, ...,N. Rainfall is uncertain and it can either be high or
low, just two possibilities. We denote the level of rainfall by s ∈ {H,L},
where we use the letter s as a shorthand for state or state-of-the-world and
where H stands for high and L for low. We suppose that each person has
some land that will without effort bear a crop of some amount of rice. The
size of the crop will depend on whether rainfall is high or low. For person n,
we denote the size of the rice crop by (wnH,wnL), where wns is the crop on
n’s land if the state is s. We assume that wns > 0, but, otherwise, make no
other special assumptions about it. In particular, we want to assume that
some land does better with high rainfall and other land does better with low
rainfall. If s = H, the total crop is
∑N
n=1 wnH, denoted WH; if s = L, t ...

Social contract
The document discusses the history and theories of the social contract from philosophers like Rousseau, Hobbes, Locke, and Rawls. It also discusses proposed changes needed for a new social contract, including strengthening social protections like universal basic income or better targeted safety nets due to economic insecurity. Another proposed change is ensuring universal access to affordable internet as it becomes essential for work, citizenship, and services. A new social contract may not promise job security but should guarantee social and economic security through alternative means as the relationship between employers and employees changes.

Ana Research - For Linked In Slide Presentation(Without Footnotes)
This document discusses the history of discrimination against indigenous peoples' intellectual property rights in economic theory. It argues that early theories from Aristotle to Locke failed to recognize indigenous peoples' right to property and labor. While Locke acknowledged some individual rights for indigenous peoples, the res nullius theory supported European conquest and dispossession of indigenous lands and knowledge. Adam Smith's theories also did not fully recognize indigenous intellectual labor and creativity. The document concludes that including indigenous peoples' rights and recognizing the economic value of their labor and inventions is important to prevent biopiracy and ensure their fair inclusion in the global market.

Document #1: History of the Economic Systems and Theories
Capitalism
Capitalism is an economic system that emphasizes private ownership of the factors of
production, freedom of choice, and individual incentives. These freedoms and
incentives apply to workers, investors, consumers, and business owners. In pure
capitalism, the government does not interfere with the economy—the wages of workers,
the prices of goods, what producers can make, the ways that businesses make or sell
their goods and services, or any other regulations. Capitalism assumes that the best
way to serve society is to let people produce, sell, and buy as they wish.
The goal of capitalism is to create what is called a free market. In economic terms, a
market is not literally just a market like a grocery store. A market or marketplace is
wherever all sorts of goods and services can be sold and bought. In a free market or
free enterprise economy like that under capitalism, the government places no limits on
the freedom of buyers and sellers to make their economic decisions.
Origins of Capitalism
The basic theories about capitalism and free trade come from Adam Smith. Smith was a
Scottish philosopher and economist who lived in the 1700s. In his famous book The
Wealth of Nations, Smith suggested the government take a laissez-faire approach to the
economy. Laissez-faire is a French term meaning “to let alone.” Smith thought the
forces of the marketplace would act as an “invisible hand” guiding economic choices for
the best possible results.
Competition plays a key role in a free-enterprise or free-market economy because
sellers compete for resources to produce goods and services at the most reasonable
price. If they are successful, they make more money. At the same time, consumers
compete over limited products to buy what they want and need. Finally, these same
consumers, now in their role as workers, compete to sell their skills and labor for the
best wages or salaries they can get.
Pure capitalism has five characteristics: private ownership and control of property and
economic resources, free enterprise, competition, freedom of choice, and the possibility
of profits.
Free Enterprise in the United States
A true and total capitalist system does not exist in reality. The United States, however, is
a leading example of a capitalist system in which the government plays a role. Our
society is deeply rooted in the value of individual initiative—that each person knows
what is best for himself or herself. We also respect the rights of all persons to own
private property. Finally, our society recognizes individual freedom, including the
freedom to make economic choices. However, because the U.S. government also
regulates many aspects of the economy, it does not have a purely capitalistic economy.
Mixed Economies
Economists describe the economies in the United States and many other nations as
mixed economies. Mixed economies combine elements of capitalism and socialism.

Human rights
This document provides a summary of the historical origins and philosophical debates surrounding the concept of human rights. It discusses how the idea of natural rights emerged from classical Greek philosophers like Aristotle and was further developed by thinkers such as Aquinas, Grotius, Hobbes, Kant, Locke, Rousseau and others. However, the concept was also criticized by thinkers like Burke and Bentham who argued that rights are created by societies rather than existing naturally. The document traces how these debates helped shape contemporary notions of universal human rights but also notes challenges to the idea that rights are truly universal or inalienable given their origins in Western political thought.
The Economic Way of Thinking
The document provides an introduction to economic concepts including scarcity, unlimited wants, limited resources, supply and demand, and the price mechanism. It discusses how economics studies how people use limited resources to satisfy unlimited wants. Through the invisible hand of the market and price signals, the interests of market participants are coordinated to allocate resources efficiently even without central planning. Cooperation emerges through social interaction and mutual adjustment of plans.
Independence or interdependence-global_education_in_the_schools-nancy_pearcy-...
This document summarizes and critiques the concept of global education being promoted in some schools. It argues that global education aims to undermine national sovereignty and individual liberty in favor of a planned world order and global socialism. It discusses how textbooks and courses portray globalism positively while omitting negative aspects. Values clarification classes are said to teach moral relativism and discourage strong convictions to make students more accepting of compromising values for global cooperation. The document warns that a world government could result in totalitarian control and questions whether such a system would really be democratic.
Decoupling the state and the third sector, rob macmillan
1. The document discusses the Big Society policy in the UK and its implications for the relationship between the third sector and the state.
2. It analyzes the Big Society using theories of spontaneous order from Friedrich Hayek, suggesting that the third sector could be seen as a spontaneous order that is now decoupling from the state.
3. This decoupling or "great unsettlement" of the relationship signals a recasting of how the sector and state interact, with the state taking a less dominant role and the sector gaining more independence.
Human Rights (1) (1)
This document discusses the possibility of reaching a worldwide consensus on human rights. It argues that while the concept of human rights originated in Western societies, the values of democracy and human rights are increasingly accepted on a global scale. However, full agreement faces challenges, as other cultures may interpret concepts like individual rights and dignity differently. Still, the document believes that separating the philosophical principles from legal frameworks allows for the values like life, liberty and equality to be adopted more universally. It also acknowledges the important role of non-governmental organizations in advocating for human rights around the world.

HW in teams of 3 studentsAn oil remanufacturing company uses c.docx
HW in teams of 3 students
An oil remanufacturing company uses clay in its manufacturing process. This clay comes into the plant in 80-pound bags stacked 40 per pallet and 50 pallets per boxcar. The railroad spur comes into the plant property but your plant does not have a rail car siding. Two car loads per year are used. The union and the company agreed that the part time workers would be hired for one week, twice a year at the rate of $7.5 per hour to unload these cars. You feel that this is a bad job and no one should have to work this hard. You look into this project
1
Why is this done?
We need the clay, and the railroad is by far the cheapest way to transport it
What: 80pounds bags of clay=160,000 pound boxcar load
Where: from the boxcar in our yard to the storeroom, 300ft away
Who: 2 temporary workers
When: one week, twice a year
How: Present method: manually unload the pallets off the boxcar then move these pallets into the storeroom with the fork truck we already own
2
How much could you spend improving this job?
We spend a week, twice a year with 2 temporary workers at $7.5
4 weeks* 40 hours per week*7.5per hour = $1,200
3
Questions:
Should the current method stays the same?
Are there other alternatives?
Is the current method the cheapest in the long run?
How would you justify an expenditure over $3,000
What do you think about cumulative trauma disorders and work-related injuries?
4
Write a report with the answers to your questions.
Include figures, tables, and other sources of information to help justify the project and also answer the questions. You can certainly use the textbook to help you.
Include in your report a list of references and of course cite all your sources of information.
This work MUST be done in teams of 3 people or 2. No individual assignment will be accepted.

HW 5 Math 405. Due beginning of class – Monday, 10 Oct 2016.docx
Romeo and Juliet's relationship is modeled mathematically. Their love and hate for each other oscillates over time based on a set of differential equations. Mercutio tries to interfere by negatively influencing Romeo's feelings for Juliet. This changes the model and results in a different outcome for Romeo and Juliet's relationship. The model is further complicated by Mercutio developing feelings for Juliet and Juliet having mixed feelings for both Romeo and Mercutio, creating a love triangle. The dynamics of this new system are analyzed using eigenvalues and phase planes. Additional models examine planetary orbits and competition between rabbits and sheep.

Underlying hard problem
– Number theory – determining prime factors of a given
(large) number
e.g., factoring of small #: 5 -) 5, 6 -) 2 *3
– Arithmetic modulo n
How secure is RSA?
– So far remains secure (after all these years...)
– Will somebody propose a quick algorithm to factor

– Will quantum computing break it? -) TBD
RSA Encryption
In RSA:
– P = E (D(P)) = D(E(P)) (order of D/E does not matter)
– More precisely: P = E(kE, D(kD, P)) = D(kD, E(kE, P))
Encryption: C = Pe mod n KE = e
– n is the key length
– Note, P is turned into an integer using a padding
scheme
– Given C, it is very difficult to find P without knowing

eligible for any loans. the prices of available cars on the lot are given as follows:
Make, model and year Price
Toyota Corolla 2002 9350
Toyota Camry 2001 10500
Buick Lesabre 2001 8825
Honda Civic 2000 9215
Subaru Impreza 2000 9690
For any given year, you prefer a Camry to an Impreza, an Impreza to a Corolla, a
Corolla to a Civic, and a Civic to a LeSabre. For any given year, you are willing to
pay $999 to move from any given car to the next preferred one. For example, if the
price of the Corolla is z, then you are willing to buy it rather than a Civic if the Civic
costs more than z−999 but prefer the civic if it costs less than this. For any given car,
you are willing to move to a model a year older if it is cheaper by at least $500. For
example, if the price of a 2003 Civic is x, then you are willing to buy it rather than a
2002 Civic, if the 2002 Civic costs more than x−500.
(a) What is your set of possible alternatives?
(b) What are your preferences between each pair of alternatives in your set?
(c) What car would you choose?

1 Introduction
We are all familiar with the general idea of uncertainty. We are uncertain
about tomorrow’s weather, about whether we will wake up with a headache
tomorrow morning, and about whether someone’s estimate of the labor re-
quired to repair our car is correct. Considerable effort is directed toward
coping with uncertainty. Some farmers have costly irrigation systems in or-
der to make output less dependent on variations in rainfall. And many of
us buy insurance of various sorts to limit our exposure to some kinds of un-
certainty. Moreover, there are government programs like disaster aid and
unemployment insurance that are intended to offset some of the effects of
uncertainty.
Here is an example of the kind of setting we will study. There are N
people labelled 1, 2, ...,N. Rainfall is uncertain and it can either be high or
low, just two possibilities. We denote the level of rainfall by s ∈ {H,L},
where we use the letter s as a shorthand for state or state-of-the-world and
where H stands for high and L for low. We suppose that each person has
some land that will without effort bear a crop of some amount of rice. The
size of the crop will depend on whether rainfall is high or low. For person n,
we denote the size of the rice crop by (wnH,wnL), where wns is the crop on
n’s land if the state is s. We assume that wns > 0, but, otherwise, make no
other special assumptions about it. In particular, we want to assume that
some land does better with high rainfall and other land does better with low
rainfall. If s = H, the total crop is
∑N
n=1 wnH, denoted WH; if s = L, t ...

This abstract and outline is for your individual paper that you will be handing in on finals week. Same topic as with your team, but you will write a one paragraph abstract describing your topic, and how you plan to treat it. While you will be walking through all the steps of the Systems Process (which I understand we havent covered in full yet) you may in your abstract and outline want to mention parts that will have more emphasis based on your knowledge of the background of your problem. The outline should obviously include all the steps of the systems process with extra elements based your what you think will have heavier emphasis.

HW #1Tech Alert on IT & Strategy (Ch 3-5Ch 3 -5 IT Strategy opt.docx
Zara gathers customer feedback and sales data from its stores to inform product design and inventory decisions. Store managers use PDAs to chat with customers and get input on styles. After closing, they analyze unsold items to identify customer preferences. Manager updates combine this qualitative feedback with quantitative sales data from POS systems. This evidence-based approach allows Zara to quickly design and reorder based on demand rather than guesses, helping it dominate the fast fashion industry.

http://www.hndszj.com/eng/uploads/201008101822313.jpg
Trusses are …
• Structures designed to support loads:
− Will transmit loads through the joints of the structure
− Will ultimately transmit loads to the foundation
• Cost effective in design because:
− Weight is minimized (weight of members is typically
light compared to loads carried, so it is often
neglected)
− Strength to weight ratio is maximized
Image copyright 2013, Pearson Education, publishing as Prentice Hall
Working with Trusses:
Assumptions
• All loads are applied / transmitted at joints
• All members are joined by pin connections
• Consist entirely of two-force members
(review section 5.4)
• Can contain zero-force members
Image copyright 2013, Pearson Education, publishing as Prentice Hall
Zero-force Members
What are zero-force members?
• Structural members that carry no force
Why do we use them?
• Used to provide stability
– During construction
– If (intermittent) loading of the truss changes
• Shortens chord length and increases
buckling capacity of compression members

HW 2 - SQL The database you will use for this assignme.docx
HW 2 - SQL
The database you will use for this assignment contains information related to Major League
Baseball (MLB) about players, teams, and games. The relations are:
Players(playerID, playerName, team, position, birthYear)
● playerID is a player identifier used in MLB, and all players throughout the history of
baseball have a unique ID
● playerName is player’s name
● team is the name of the MLB team the player is currently playing on (or the last team the
player played for if they are not currently playing)
● position is the position of the player
● birthYear is the year that player was born
Teams(teamID, teamName, home, leagueName)
● teamID is a unique ID internal to MLB.
● teamName is the name of the team
● home is the home city of the team
● leagueName is the league the team is in, i.e. either “National” or “American”, which
stands for “National League” and “American League”, respectively
Games(gameID, homeTeamID, guestTeamID, date)
● gameID is a unique ID used internally in MLB
● homeTeamID is the ID of the hometeam
● guestTeamID is the ID of the visiting team
● date is the date of the game.
A sample instance of this database is given at the end of this homework handout. Since it is just
one instance of the database designed to give you some intuition, you should not “customize”
your answer to work only with this instance.
1. (10 points each) Write the following queries in SQL, using the schema provided
above. (Note: Your queries must not be “state-dependent", that is, they should work without
modification even if another instance of the database is given.)
(a) Print the names of all players who were born in 1970 and played for the Braves.
(b) Print the names of teams that do not have a pitcher.
(c) Print names of all players who have played in the National League.
(d) Print all gameIDs with Phillies as the home team.
2. (15 points each) Write the following queries in SQL, using the schema provided
above.
(a) Print all teamIDs where the team played against the Phillies but not against the Braves.
(b) Print all tuples (playerID1, playerID2, team) where playerID1 and playerID2 are (or have
been) on the same team. Avoid listing self-references or duplicates, e.g. do not allow
(1,1,”Braves”) or both (2,5,”Phillies”) and (5,2,”Phillies”).
(c) Print all tuples (teamID1, league1, teamID2, league2, date) where teamID1 and teamID2
played against each other in a World Series game. Although there is no direct information
about the World Series games in the relations, we can infer that when two teams from different
leagues play each other, it is a World Series game. So, in this relation, league1 and league2
should be different leagues.
(d) List all cities that have a team in all leagues. For example, there are currently two leagues
(National and American). Although not shown in this instance, New York is home to the Mets in
the National ...

HURRICANE KATRINA A NATION STILL UNPREPARED .docx
The document summarizes a Senate report on the government's response to Hurricane Katrina. It finds that while officials were warned of Katrina's potential devastation, they failed to adequately prepare. Evacuation and shelter plans for New Orleans were incomplete. The storm exceeded the response capacity of all levels of government. Leadership failures at the federal, state and local levels compounded the crisis. FEMA and DHS were unprepared for a catastrophe of this scale.

Student Sample Essay #2
Genesis Myth
“And God created man in His own image, in the image of God he created male and female. He created them. And God blessed them.” (Leonard, Mcclure, 87) Unfortunately, the sentiment that men and women are equals is contradicted several times in the Genesis myth. The Genesis myth has had a negative influence on women’s roles in society that continually have impacts in today’s modern world. The myth describes women’s purpose as being subservient to men, women are easily swayed and manipulated, and that for seeking knowledge, women deserve the painful shame of childbirth. This patriarchal creation myth has played a role in justifying the suppression of equal rights throughout history and is still debated today.
To begin, the sole reason for the creation of woman ...

Human beings (and many other animals) are territorial - the distin.docx
- 1. Human beings (and many other animals) are territorial - the distinction between "mine" and "yours" is not learned or cultural; it is deeply rooted in our animal instincts. This is what makes the argument from property rights so powerful. Supporters of Capitalism (wise-users among them) believe that all property should be "mine," whereas Socialism (including most environmentalists, in some form or other) think that most property should be "ours." This is a very old and fundamental debate; "Capitalism" and "Socialism" are merely the newest names for the two sides. Modern socialists and anarchists usually agree that "I" am entitled to enough private property for my own personal use (no one wants to share a toothbrush!) but that all excess property should belong to the community (why do I need two houses? for example). And the property I personally need is very little indeed. Any more than that, and I am usurping what others could use: I am getting rich at someone else's expense; I am creating two classes of society, the "haves" and the "have nots." To get to the point: opponents of wise use believe that it is wrong for me to abuse, pollute, destroy or otherwise damage property that should benefit everyone. I can trash my own house, if I like; that's my business; but when I trash the larger environment, that's everyone's business, even if the property laws say that environment is "mine." The "wise use" position is that "mine" is mine, no limits, no restrictions. When modern capitalism evolved in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it worked only because new laws defined "property" in new and inventive ways so that the capitalists could be certain of keeping the profits they made in the free market. No entrepreneur would want to start a new business if he could not be certain that it, and any profit it made, were really his. (At least, that was what the capitalists and their partners in the newly centralized governments said.) In earlier ages, philosophers believed that property is temporary; that it is
- 2. ours only so long as we actually use it (this is called "usufruct" in feudal law). After all, we come into the world with nothing, and we leave it with nothing, so property cannot be "ours" in any permanent sense. Medieval cities and kingdoms actually had laws against charging interest on loans or charging more for a loaf of bread than the poor could afford - because economic wealth was seen as belonging to the community, not to the individual. In fact, the entire Judeao-Christian-Muslim belief system preaches against the use of interest. They call it usury, and it is generally agreed to be greedy and potentially evil. Unfortunately, in the modern era, the Christians (and almost everyone else) seem to have abandoned this law. The Jewish and Islamic communities still adhere to it in varying degrees: the Islamic much more so. These notions of community and mutual benefit changed when the new market economy began to encourage greed and acquisitiveness (which are admittedly natural human traits, but that doesn't mean we have to indulge them. After all, violence is also a natural human trait). So property had to be redefined: it is absolute; it is permanent; it is mine. It can even be abstract (copyrights, interest on investments). It is this view of property - fairly recent, historically - on which the wise-users base their claims. Socialism, which comes in many shapes and sizes, was a nineteenth-century backlash against this new gospel of greed. So far, it hasn't worked very well (witness the late unlamented USSR) but sometimes it does, in smaller places or smaller ways (Cuba; the British national health care system; American Social Security). In its more radical forms it has scarcely even been tried yet. But Karl Marx, who can be thanked for many of the changes in capitalism itself (they were a response to his observations, enacted by governments who feared a socialist revolution if they didn't do something) can also be thanked for the fact that most of us now believe that, even if private property is OK, we have a social obligation not to use our property in ways that are harmful to the community. The wise users don't agree - they are a minority, but a powerful one.
- 3. Click on the following link to learn more about Karl Marx. · Karl Marx The term "wise use" first appears in the Reagan era, when the administration in Washington always supported the big corporations against the "tree huggers." Essentially the wise- users want us to believe, "hey, we're environmentalists too, we just want to conserve natural resources for future generations." In actuality it amounts to, "hey, we own these damn resources, and we won't have any eco-radicals telling us how to use what we own." Anyway, that's the view of most other environmentalists. Go to the web site of the main wise-use organization, the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise, (link at the bottom of page), and make your own judgment - then talk about it in the forum this week. There's an old maxim that is one of the first questions you learn in law school: cui bono? that is, "who benefits?" Look at who funds organizations like CDFE, and consider who benefits if they get their way. Wise use, in all its manifestations, relies on one legal or constitutional principle: the right to private property. True, this is one of the foundations of Western civilization, and nearly all ideologies - liberal or conservative - take it for granted. (Anarchists and communists do not, nor do many non-Western cultures.) The wise use movement appeals to patriotism to support its case: the right to hold property is a basic American freedom. (Note all the red, white and blue on these websites.) The argument is this: if private property is truly private, then the owner has a right to use (or abuse) it in any way s/he pleases. If the government (or any institution) can interfere, then the property is not truly "private," and the owner is not truly "free." The movement strongly opposes the Endangered Species Act, for example: if the government forbids me to cut down a forest on my land because an endangered owl lives in the trees, then I do not have the property rights or freedoms our ancestors fought and died for. You need to know two key terms: "eminent
- 4. domain" and "takings." The first is the government's power to take private property for public use (provided that fair compensation is paid), even if the owner is not willing to sell. This is often how the state acquires land to build new highways, for example. Eminent domain is universally accepted, and is enshrined in the Fifth Amendment: ". . . nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation." Eminent domain derives from medieval English feudal law, and no one seriously questions it. "Takings" is another matter altogether, and the demand that American courts recognize "takings" as a form of property rights is at the crux of the wise- use agenda. Everyone agrees that the government has a right to take some of my property, in the form of taxes or real estate or whatever. But does it have the right to take property that is only potential, that I have not yet acquired? Consider this case: I own a factory, and the government demands that I install "scrubbers" in my smokestacks to eliminate air pollutants. I must of course pay for the installation; this is all right constitutionally (just as the government may demand that I get and pay for a license if I want to drive a car). But what if the scrubbers reduce my factory's efficiency and output, or require more expensive fuels and upkeep, making it necessary that I raise the price of my product? Then the government's requirement for scrubbers is "takings" because it is taking away future profits, on products not yet manufactured. The wise use movement insists that "takings" are just as unconstitutional as seizing my property for a highway and not paying me for it. So far the courts have not accepted this argument. But what if they do? Here's another aspect to think about: The wise use movement is heavily funded by corporations, especially those involved in mining and lumbering. Much of the money they donate goes to "educational materials" for teachers, often given away free. The goal, of course, is to persuade young students (still impressionable, and still formulating their world views) that

"Truax" is a teaching tool for elementary schools created by an organization of wood-flooring manufacturers. Be sure to look at these two documents before posting to the forum (one is the comic book given to kids; the other is the teacher's guide).
