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.

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.

Brady's power-point on Public Debt
This document provides an overview of a presentation arguing that most of what governments do that is immoral would be impossible without fiat currency and public debt. It outlines the main thesis and sub-thesis, and then explores three parts of the argument: 1) What would happen without public debt, concluding government aspects would need to shrink by 1/3 on average; 2) Who holds the public debt, with over half held by central banks; and 3) Why sustained government growth would be much more difficult without taking on debt, as people would riot if taxes increased substantially to cover additional spending.

International Trade
1. Suppose that two countries (US and Cuba) conform to the assumptions of the Heckscher-Ohlin model and initially do not trade with each other. Only two products are produced—textiles are labor intensive while steel is capital intensive. Cuba has relatively more labor than does the US. Labor and capital are mobile between industries.
A. Explain which products each country should export and why. [That is, do not just say that Cuba has a comparative advantage in good X—you must explain why it has a comparative advantage.]
B. What would be the expected effect of opening trade on wages and returns to capital in Cuba in the long run? Explain.
2. a. For the policies below, note a small country’s imposition of the policy will increase (+), decrease (-), or have an unclear effect (?) on the variables listed vertically. (Please note, you do not have to explain; just note the direction of change.) Assume that transfers among domestic citizens have no effect on welfare.
Tariff Export subsidy Import quota Export tax
Domestic price
Domestic consumer surplus
Domestic producer surplus
Government revenue
Net national welfare
If any of the effects are unclear, provide a brief explanation.
b. For each, explain the nature of any deadweight losses in detail, i.e. compare the costs of domestic production and consumer benefits with the reduced or expanded trade.
3. Suppose the assumptions of the Ricardian model apply. Let LA = country A's endowment of labor =100 units; LB = country B's endowment of labor = 100 units. The unit labor coefficients for the two countries for good S and C are:
aLc = 2L/c, aLs = 10L/s; bLc = 10L/c, bLs = 1L/s.
a. What is the opportunity cost for C in each country? Provide specific numbers (i.e. number of S per C).
b. Explain which country has the absolute advantage in each good.
c. Explain which country as the comparative advantage in each good.
d. What is the range of potential relative prices for mutually beneficial trade? Provide specific numbers (i.e. number of C per S).
e. For one particular possible trading price, show the PPF for both countries and the relevant post-trade national income (presuming full specialization).
4. Illustrate and explain how the US (a large country in international oil markets) can benefit from imposing a tariff on petroleum. Which group or groups ultimately pay for the tariff? What are the major drawbacks for a country pursuing this policy? How would consumers of petroleum in Europe be affected by the tariff?

Sample Project #2 Part 1
I. Introduction
A. Attention Statement/ Briefly state the problem:
1. Hello and thank you for joining us as we discuss a very important issue for the citizens of California.
2. Briefly state the problem: The LA Times reported on October 11, 2012 that “The new California Report estimated 590,000 human papillomavirus infections, 250,000 trichomoniasis infections, 180,000 cases of chlamydia, and 2,900 HIV infections in California in 2011.” We obviously need to do something to help reduce these rates.
B. That is why I propose that the state of California should legalize prostitution. ”
II. Significance
A. Harm 1: Keeping prostitution illegal hurts the health of Californians.
1. According to the August 1, 2012 New York Times, over half off all sexually transmitted diseases are originally passed through the act of prostitution.
2. Since prostitutes and customers are engaging in an illegal activity, they are less likely to report an STD.
3. Since prostitutes don’t have access to quality healthcare, they are less likely to seek medical attention for an STD and are therefore more likely to pass it on to future customers.
B. Harm 2: The status quo is a drain on resources.
1. Since prostitutes do not have access the adequate healthcare, they must rely on emergency rooms or the anonymity of clinics. This crowds these facilities and costs taxpayers money.
2. Dr. Joe Hamilton, a leading researcher in criminology, explains in the February 2013 Mother Jones, that “ Numerous legal commentators point out that using law enforcement resources against prostitution reduces substantially the resources available to fight serious crimes committed against persons or property. This nation desperately needs more efforts applied to solving those crimes, because arrests are being made in connection with only about 20% of them.”
3. The status quo leads to jail/prison overcrowding. Each time a prostitute or customer is arrested, he or she must spend a minimum of 24 hours in jail and then be presented to a judge. This costs taxpayers money and takes the space in jail that could be used for more violent offenders. It also slows down our judicial system by taking unnecessary time from judges.
III. Inherency
A. Making prostitution illegal was to act as a deterrent, but people still engage in this activity o ...

- The demand for public goods and services in the U.S. has encountered serious fiscal problems at all levels of government that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Some of the major fiscal challenges discussed include the unsustainable national debt, growing Medicaid costs, underfunded state and local pensions, and insufficient infrastructure investment.
- The passage discusses whether governments should raise taxes to deal with fiscal challenges, noting proponents believe tax revenues are needed to fund government, while others argue for prioritizing projects and eliminating waste.

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.

– 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
KD
Decryption: P = Cd mod n KD = d
We will look at this algorithm in detail next time

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 ...

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.

Brady's power-point on Public Debt
This document provides an overview of a presentation arguing that most of what governments do that is immoral would be impossible without fiat currency and public debt. It outlines the main thesis and sub-thesis, and then explores three parts of the argument: 1) What would happen without public debt, concluding government aspects would need to shrink by 1/3 on average; 2) Who holds the public debt, with over half held by central banks; and 3) Why sustained government growth would be much more difficult without taking on debt, as people would riot if taxes increased substantially to cover additional spending.

International Trade
1. Suppose that two countries (US and Cuba) conform to the assumptions of the Heckscher-Ohlin model and initially do not trade with each other. Only two products are produced—textiles are labor intensive while steel is capital intensive. Cuba has relatively more labor than does the US. Labor and capital are mobile between industries.
A. Explain which products each country should export and why. [That is, do not just say that Cuba has a comparative advantage in good X—you must explain why it has a comparative advantage.]
B. What would be the expected effect of opening trade on wages and returns to capital in Cuba in the long run? Explain.

I. Introduction
A. Attention Statement/ Briefly state the problem:
1. Hello and thank you for joining us as we discuss a very important issue for the citizens of California.
2. Briefly state the problem: The LA Times reported on October 11, 2012 that “The new California Report estimated 590,000 human papillomavirus infections, 250,000 trichomoniasis infections, 180,000 cases of chlamydia, and 2,900 HIV infections in California in 2011.” We obviously need to do something to help reduce these rates.
B. That is why I propose that the state of California should legalize prostitution. ”
II. Significance
A. Harm 1: Keeping prostitution illegal hurts the health of Californians.
1. According to the August 1, 2012 New York Times, over half off all sexually transmitted diseases are originally passed through the act of prostitution.
2. Since prostitutes and customers are engaging in an illegal activity, they are less likely to report an STD.
3. Since prostitutes don’t have access to quality healthcare, they are less likely to seek medical attention for an STD and are therefore more likely to pass it on to future customers.
B. Harm 2: The status quo is a drain on resources.
1. Since prostitutes do not have access the adequate healthcare, they must rely on emergency rooms or the anonymity of clinics. This crowds these facilities and costs taxpayers money.
2. Dr. Joe Hamilton, a leading researcher in criminology, explains in the February 2013 Mother Jones, that “ Numerous legal commentators point out that using law enforcement resources against prostitution reduces substantially the resources available to fight serious crimes committed against persons or property. This nation desperately needs more efforts applied to solving those crimes, because arrests are being made in connection with only about 20% of them.”
3. The status quo leads to jail/prison overcrowding. Each time a prostitute or customer is arrested, he or she must spend a minimum of 24 hours in jail and then be presented to a judge. This costs taxpayers money and takes the space in jail that could be used for more violent offenders. It also slows down our judicial system by taking unnecessary time from judges.
III. Inherency
A. Making prostitution illegal was to act as a deterrent, but people still engage in this activity o ...

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

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.

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 ...

When US inspectors arrived at this site they, and I quote, “found a largely open field” (Gault). And this is one of hundreds of similar projects scattered across Afghanistan (Gault). B. Relate to audience: Why am I telling you this? Well, every single one of you is a tax payer or will be a tax payer. You all work hard and the government take a portion of your hard work [pause] to support our interests; that’s taxes. Now this is not an anti-tax speech; there is no cure for death or taxes and I’m not here to tell you that paying taxes is bad. I do believe the government should spend our tax money wisely.

On December 3rd of 2014 Matthew Gault reports in War is Boring that this 2.7 million dollar justice center [change slide] in Parwan, near the famous Bagram Airfield, is nothing more than a half-completed pile of rubbish.

- 7. B. Plan: Either US Congress should pass a law or our President should sign an executive order reforming how construction funds are spent in Afghanistan. 1.

These companies and the people who own them can even be blacklisted from bidding on future construction contracts. 2. How much the plan costs: This plan will cost very little. We already have existing structures to implement and inspect projects. And this plan will help us to either get what we pay for or keep our money. 3. How we enforce the plan: My plan is simple to emplace because the US already authorizes and funds these construction projects. We have the power of the purse and the power to designate responsible companies with proven track-records.
