Applied ecosystem services in working forests: A direct market valuationD. Stuart Hale, CF
This document discusses ecosystem services and traditional vs. ecosystem management approaches. It proposes assessing the Dumps Creek watershed in Virginia under both approaches. For traditional management, key services are fiber and recreation. For ecosystem management, additional services include carbon sequestration, watershed services, and biodiversity. The document outlines how to quantify service areas, identify potential markets, and estimate revenues under different pricing scenarios to compare the economic values of the two approaches over a 15-year period. It finds that ecosystem management yields higher total revenues than traditional management under all pricing scenarios.
This document provides a first-person account of the author's experiences studying abroad in Southeast Asia for five months. Some key details include:
- The author describes her arrival in Bangkok and initial culture shock, including a taxi ride where the driver took her to the wrong hotel and overcharged her.
- On Halloween, the author and her friends got into a physical altercation at a bar after one of the bartenders stole her phone. Her friend was badly beaten with a wooden paddle.
- The author reflects on meaningful lessons learned from her time abroad, including to never pass up an opportunity and to expect the unexpected. She describes witnessing a bombing in Bangkok shortly after her arrival.

Welcome to International Journal of Engineering Research and Development (IJERD)IJERD Editor
This document summarizes research on system dynamics models related to capacity scalability policies in reconfigurable manufacturing systems from 1990-2002. It reviews 29 academic papers on this topic. The paper categorizes and describes several system dynamics models for capacity scalability, including dynamic models of capacity in RMS, models using system dynamics to examine capacity problems, and applications of system dynamics in manufacturing systems. Key researchers and their contributions to modeling capacity scalability through system dynamics are discussed.

The document outlines three potential documentary ideas: 1) "Weed: Is Marijuana Safe?" which would interview teenagers, parents, and doctors about the health effects of marijuana and appeal to a teenage audience. 2) "Does young girls’ receiving the morning after pill encourage or give them permission to have sex?" which would interview parents, mentors, doctors, and pupils on this issue. 3) "Does fashion really repeat itself?" which would interview fashion designers, students, and experts like Gok Wan on trends in the fashion industry. A strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis is provided for each idea, with the author choosing to develop the marijuana documentary further by securing interviews with doctors.
