As a response to the economic slowdown following the financial crisis, the Fed cut the Federal funds rate to near 0 by the end of 2008, and tried to provide further monetary stimulus through “unconventional” policies. In a short paragraph, describe some of these unconventional tools that were used by the Fed during this period, and explain how these tools could increase demand even when the Fed funds rate stays constant at zero.

Please create a PESTEL analysis for Kirkland's, Inc. Home Decor. Answer How, for instance, is the current political environment of your organization affecting it? (Consider everything from local to national politics!) How may various changes in the political environment in the future (both the near future and further out) affect it? Repeat and answer these two questions for the economy, society and culture, technology, natural environment, and the legal and regulatory milieu.

Draw something interesting with JavaFX. The drawing must be something coherent - random shapes on the canvas will not receive near full marks. Your drawing must make use of at least the following:
1) a compound object generated by a for loop
2) each of a rectangle, arc, circle, ellipse, line,
3) at least 15 shapes overall
4) 5 different colours
5) the use of translation, rotation, and scaling

CASE STUDY 6.1 IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR AN UNDERAGE DRINKING
INTERVENTION
Dr. Smith works for a local university, and has been approached by a local health department about a project pertaining to high alcohol consumption among high school students. According to local statistics produced by the health department, 35% of adolescents in the community have never had alcohol and do not plan to have it in the near future, 35% of adolescents have never had alcohol but are planning to try it or are willing to try it in the near future, 25% of adolescents have consumed alcohol at least once in the last 30 days, and 5% of adolescents have consumed alcohol at least 5 times in the last 30 days. The local health department wants to create an intervention to reduce underage drinking in the community but is unsure about what to target, whom to target, and how to implement the program.
Questions for Reflection and Discussion
1. In a comprehensive intervention, which levels of prevention would be relevant?
2. How could the ecological model be used to help identify factors associated with underage drinking? Brainstorm various factors in the ecological model that could be associated with underage drinking.

Exhibit 20-1
You have two metal spheres on insulating stands. You bring them each in turn near the ball of a positively charged electroscope. In each case the deflction of the leaves is reduced slightly. You then bring them each in turn near the ball of a negatively charged electroscope and find that sphere A causes the deflection to increase, whereas sphere B causes it to decrease.
7.Refer to Exhibit 20-1. Sphere A is
a. positively charged.
b. negatively charged.
c. neutral.
d. There is not enough information to determine this.
8.Refer to Exhibit 20-1. Sphere B is
a. positively charged.
b. negatively charged.
c. neutral.
d. There is not enough information to determine this.
9.A metal sphere on an insulating stand has a charge of 16 nC. A second metal sphere, also on an insulating stand, is initially uncharged. The two spheres are briefly touched together. The second sphere is then grounded. After this procedure, the charge on the original sphere is
a. 16 nC
b. 8 nC
c. 4 nC
d. 0 nC
e. more than 16 nC
f. There is not enough information to determine this

A small businessman is planning on opening a new retail location. Three locations are available, and he is interested in the annual income of families near each location. A random sample of 4 families is selected near each location, and the results are shown below (in thousands of dollars). Use this data to test the hypothesis that mean income is the same in all three areas.
| Location 1 | Location 2 | Location 3 |
| 66 | 65 | 71 |
| 65 | 69 | 72 |
| 66 | 63 | 62 |
| 64 | 70 | 78 |

Fluid Mechanics: A water tank is a cylinder 4 m in height and 2 meters in diameter. The tank is full at time to. The tank sits on a platform 12 m tall. A water tap is located at the bottom center of the tank. The tap, when actuated, opens to a pipe 5 cm in radius.
a. Write down Bernoulli’s equation. Identify the Pressure, Kinetic and Potential Energy terms. Show that each has the units of an energy density (Joules/Volume).
b. Use Bernoulli’s equation to compare the difference in pressure between the surface of the water and the bottom of the tank near the edge? Assume the fluid is motionless near the edge.
c. When a tap is opened water rushes in to a pipe 5 cm in radius. The pipe is straight and drops 12 m to ground level, but along the way slowly in radius to 2 cm. What is the speed of the water as it emerges from the pipe?
d. Use the continuity equation to find the speed of the water as it enters the pipe 12 m above, i.e. bottom of the tank.
e. What is the volume and mass flow rate of the stream of water?
f. What is the pressure of the fluid as it enters the pipe, again at the bottom of the tank.

A positively charged glass rod repels an object suspended by a non-conducting thread. The charge on the object is ____ .
A positive point charge is brought near the outside surface of a neutral conducting sphere and released. The initial position of the point charge is on the positive x axis and the sphere is centred on the origin. The point charge moves in the ____ x direction. (If the point charge does not move, select answer C.)
A negatively charged glass rod attracts an object suspended by a non-conducting thread. The charge on the object is ____ .
A positively charged ball is brought close to a neutral isolated conductor. The conductor is then grounded, while the ball is kept close. If the ground connection is first removed and then the ball is taken away, the conductor has a ____ charge.
Two neutral metal spheres are mounted on insulating supports. They are connected by a wire. A positively charged glass rod is brought near sphere 1. The wire connecting the spheres is removed and the charged rod is then taken away. Now the charge on sphere 1 is ____ .
