What do you think about adult and childhood obesity?  What do you really think is at the “heart” of the weight-loss crisis in America? When you see a 250-pound 10-year-old in public, what do you think? Do you make any assumptions? Do you think the parents are guilty of causing this obesity? If the parents are not guilty, then what are the underlying causes?

How the English language has evolved like a living creature

Some linguists think of language as a living thing: It grows and changes, and every time a child learns it, the language reproduces itself. Now, a team of researchers is using the analogy of evolution to explain language change, arguing that key factors in biological evolution—like natural selection and genetic drift—have parallels in how languages change over time. And it turns out that the random changes, known as “drift” in biology, may have played an outsized role in the evolution of the English language.

Historians of English have long acknowledged that social and cognitive factors shape language over time. For example, languages lose irregular verb conjugations or other word forms that are hard to remember. And certain words or pronunciations get used because they are associated with people who have status and power—think about how new arrivals adopt the local accent in order to fit in. These pressures on language are based on concrete factors, similar to the biological pressures of natural selection.

But that explanation didn’t satisfy University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) evolutionary biologist Joshua Plotkin. He was puzzled by oddities such as a growing preference for the word “clarity” over its synonym “clearness.” According to standard linguistic theory, “clearness” should be more common because adding “-ness” is an easy-to-remember rule for making a noun out of an adjective. But that’s not what happened in English. “As an outsider,” Plotkin says, “this increase seemed at odds with the notion that language … regularize[s] over time.” So he decided to roll up his sleeves and apply some theories from evolutionary biology.

With another evolutionary biologist and two linguists from UPenn, he analyzed three databases of historical English together containing more than 400 million words and ranging from 1100 C.E. to the 21st century. The researchers used statistical methods from population genetics to analyze three well-known changes in the English language: how past-tense verbs in American English have taken the “-ed” ending, (as when “spilt” became “spilled”), how the word “do” became an auxiliary verb in Early Modern English (as in “Did you sing?”), and how negative sentences were made in Old to Early Modern English.

They found that selection was the likely cause of how negative sentence structures changed over time (like how the Old English “Ic ne secge” became the Early Modern English “I say not”). But the two other changes were likely the results of random drift, they write today in a letter published in Nature. That’s because, rather than having an even rate of change, the frequencies of alternative forms changed in fits and starts—jagged fluctuations that were obvious in the data set. When it came to the verbs, they found that drift’s influence was stronger when the verb was less frequent. Only six past tense changes in their data set, such as “lighted” to “lit,” were deemed to have changed for purposeful reasons, such as being easier to learn and use.

Showing How Banks Create Money

Suppose you deposit​ $5,000 in currency into your checking account at a branch of PNC​ Bank, which we will assume has no excess reserves at the time you make your deposit. Also assume that the required reserve ratio is 0.10.

a. Use a​ T-account to show the initial effect of this transaction on​ PNC's balance sheet.

b. Suppose that PNC makes the maximum loan it can from the funds you deposited. Use a​ T-account to show the initial effect on​ PNC's balance sheet from granting the loan. Also include in this​ T-account the transaction from question​ (a).

c. Now suppose that whoever took out the loan in question​ (b) writes a check for this amount and that the person receiving the check deposits it in Bank of America. Show the effect of these transactions on the balance sheets of PNC Bank and Bank of America after the check has cleared.

On the​ T-account for PNC​ Bank, include the transactions from questions​ (a) and​ (b).

d. What is the maximum increase in checking account deposits that can result from your​ $5,000 deposit? What is the maximum increase in the money​ supply? Explain.

Medicare Part B has a co-insurance of 20% and no-cap on the co-insurance amount a person pays in the event of high medical bills. For example, if the patient has a major health event and the physicians’ fees are $50,000, the patient pays $10,000. A proposed policy reform would introduce an annual cap of $5,000 for co-insurance payments under Medicare Part B. Advocates maintain that the cap would not increase patients’ moral hazard for physician health services. Explain the advocates’ reasoning.
