Lehman Brothers Sub-prime loans are high-risk loans giving to borrowers with poor credit histories who might not qualify for traditional loans. These loans typically have higher interest rates and fees since the borrowers as more likely to default (fail to repay the loan). Many sub-prime loans had adjustable rates (ARMs). Rates went up -> monthly payments went up -> home owners can't afford the payments and default on the loans -> foreclosure -> lenders who gave out the risky loans get the house but at a value far lower than what they gave the loan out for. They then couldnt sell the homes for the amount they loaned it for leading to massive losses. Example: Someone with bad credit buys $300K home in 2006. By 2008, the house is worth $200K and the homeowner is paying a higher mortgage do to the higher rates. Home owner defaults -> Bank gets home now valued at $200K -> $100K loss for bank -> multiply this by millions of homes.

Answer 540

A router is typically connected to the internet through a cable (Ethernet or Fiber Optic). This cable carries internet data as electric signals. The circuit board inside the router collects the electric siganls and organizes them. The data then goes to the antenna. The antenna converts these signals into radio waves. The antenna sends these radio waves out into the air. Smart Phones contain a wifi chip and antenna. The antenna can detect when it gets in the range of where a router is sending radio waves. The antenna converts the radio waves to electric signals. The wifi chip decodes the electric signals. The phone then sends radio waves back to the router saying it wants to connect.

Answer 541

Starts at an internet service provider (ex. Charter). Travels underground or aerial via fiber-optic cables There's a junction box in a neighborhood where the main line splits off into individual lines for homes. The cable enters the house typically through a wall outlet called a network access point or modem jack. The cable then connects to the modem inside the home which then connects to the router.

Answer 542

Breaker Panel. The electricity flows from the meter (tracks how much electricity you use) to the circuit breaker panel where it is then distributed through the house. Electrical wires run through each circuit breaker and then run to their designated outlets. The hot wire (black) carries the electricity from breaker to outlet. Neutral wire (white) carries electricity back to the panel. Ground wire (green) provides a path to the earth for safety in case of a fault. The hotwire contains the 120V. Neutral wire contains 0V. The Voltage drop is what powers the device.

Answer 543

V = I x R Fundamental principle in electrical engineering between voltage, current, and resistance.

Answer 544

Combustion Air and fuel mixture creates a reaction that causes the temperature and pressure to increase. Spark plug ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture. Once ignited, a rapid chemical reaction (combustion) occurs. Heat is released and the gases expand rapidly. These reactions drive the pistons up and down. As the gas expands, the piston is forced down. This turns the crankshaft via the connecting rod. The crankshaft pulls the piston back up as it continues to rotate. Combustion converts pressure energy into mechanical energy.

Answer 545

Waste Water Treatment Plant Urban area - So most likely no septic system. Water flows through a series of pipes which connects to the main drain line of the house. This main drain line is then connected to a larger municipal plumbing system which will lead to a wastewater treatment plant. The water is then cleaned and then relesed into local streams where it will eventually end up in the Mississippi River which then flows into the Gulf of Mexico.

Answer 546

Rural Area - Most likely uses a septic system. No wastewater treatment plant. Water flows through a series of pipes which connects to the main drain line of the house. This main drain line is then connected to a septic tank. Inside the tank, solids settle to the bottom. Liquid waste is sent out into a leach field where it is filtered and naturally purified by the soil. The liquid then disperses into the soil which helps further filter the liquid. Notes: - Leach field is a network of perforated pipes buried underground. Typically surrounded by rocks/gravel. - Bacteria and other microorganisms help to breakdown the solids inside the septic tank. - Septic tanks are typically pumped out every 3-5 years

Answer 547

Preliminary treatment (Screening) - wastewater flows into the system and goes through different screens to catch debris, sticks, etc that may have entered the system. Primary Treatment (Sedimentation) - Wastewater moves to a large settling tank where physical separation takes place. Wastewater sits still which causes soid materials (feces, food, waste) sinks to the bottom. Secondary Treatment (Biological Treatment) - Wastewater then is pumped to a large aeration tank where air is bubbled through the water. The oxygen encourages the growth of bacteria which helps breakdown the organic matter in the wastewater. Tertiary Treatment (Advanced Treatment) - Not always done. Further purification through additional filters and the addition of chemicals such as chlorine and UV light. Water is then discharged to local tributaries.

Answer 548

Pumps - Gravity will most likely not be enough to force the water up to the 10th floor. Treated/pressurized water flows from Water Storage Tank to building via underground pipelines. Water flows to a pump which is located in the lower part of the building. Pump ensures the water is pressurized at all times making it flow upwards, allowing for a consistent source of water.

Answer 549

Tall water tower typically located on high ground. Weight of the water pressurizes the water throughout the system pushes the flow downwards and then upwards to reach a point of static equilibrium. The higher the water tower, the more pressure.

Answer 550

Friction from the walls of the pipe causing a pressure loss. The longer the distance, the more friction loss.

10-15% cement: Limestone, clay, and other minerals. Acts as the binder that holds all the materials together. 60-75% Aggregates: Rock, gravel, sand. Provides bulk and strength. 15-20% Water: Reacts with cement to help bind the aggregates together. Determines strength and workability of the concrete. Too much water can weaken the concrete. 0-8% Air: Entrapped air - Occurs naturally. Entrained air - Intentionally added to prevent freeze-thaw resistance.

Answer 554

Concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension. Steel Rebar is strong in tension. Make a good combo.

Answer 555

Contracts - Concrete materials shrinks as temperature decreases. However, In freezing conditions, the water in the concrete pores can freeze.

Gerrymandering

Answer 557

The trash is spread out into a thin layer. Heavy machinery like rollers and compactors compact the trash. At the end of each day a cover material (soil) is placed over the exposed trash to contain odor, prevent wind from blowing, and prevent animals. The waste then starts aerobic decomposition. This happens slowly and produces methane gas. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas so there are gas collection systems to prevent it from escaping into the air.

Answer 558

Contacts sit on the cornea of the eye Contacts are made of material that refract (bend) light. The shape and curvature of the lens allow light to focus correctly on the retina leading to clear vision. The contact material allows oxygen to pass through to the retina to ensure the eye remains healthy. Glasses act in the same way. Similarly, if you squint, it limits the amount of light that hits the eye, improving focus of the light directly on the retina.

1. Stagnant Economic Growth 2. High Inflation 3. High Unemployment Stagflation is very problematic due to the difficulty in fixing it. If you raise rates, you risk further decreasing economic growth and unemployment. If you cut rates, you risk higher inflation. Stagflation is considered to be occuring when: - Inflation exceeds 4-5% - Unemployment exceeds 6-7% - GDP Growth is at or below 0%

Answer 624

Deflation = Decline in the general price of goods. Demand decreases leads to wages decrease and increase in unemployment. Stock Market Crash of 1929 decreased consumer demand. Businesses lower prices to try to increase demand. Continued reduced revenues leads to higher unemployment and reduced wages. Money now has more buying power due to deflation. You can buy more with your money, but the amount of debt you owe stays the same. Psychologically, people feel the burden of the debt more and spend less as they prioritize paying off their debt. Summary: Demand decreases -> Businesses lower prices -> Businesses continue to make less money -> employees make less money -> Debt burden stays the same.

Milk - Cows, goats, sheep. Pasteurized to eliminate bacteria Butter - Comes from the fatty portion of milk. The separated cream is churned to solidify into butter Cheese - Milk is heated and an enzyme called rennet is added to coagulate (curdle) the milk. The milk is separated into curds and whey and the curds is formed into cheese. Yogurt - The lactose (sugar in the milk) is fermented into lactic acid which causes the milk to thicken Sour Cream - Same fermentation process as yogurt but it is made from cream instead of milk. Cream is the fatty part of milk Whipping Cream - Made from fatty portion of milk and then whipped which can be down with a whisk. Sugar is added to sweeten Ranch - Made from a mixture of buttermilk, mayo and sour cream. Buttermilk is a byproduct of churning butter Blue Cheese

Gene Therapy Methods: 1. Gene Insertion - A healthy copy of the gene is introduced into the patient's cells to compensate for a defective or missing gene. This can be done by delivering the normal gene via a vector, which is often a virus that has been modified to be safe for use in gene therapy. 2. Gene Editing - This technique directly edits the patient's DNA by using tools like CRISPR-Cas9, which can target and cut specific parts of the genome to correct mutations or insert new genetic material. - CRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary gene-editing tool that allows precise modifications to DNA, such as correcting point mutations or inserting new genes. 3. Gene Silencing - Instead of adding new genes, gene silencing techniques aim to "turn off" faulty or overactive genes that cause disease. *** Gene therapy is being explored as a way to treat cancer by enhancing the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells, or by directly targeting and altering cancer cell DNA to stop their growth. *** There is ethical concerns with gene therapy.

Answer 757

GENERAL NOTES: Electricity is the flow of electrons. Electrons are negatively charged particle. Voltage drives the flow of electrons. Electrons flow through a conductive material at the path of least resistance. When an electrical current hits water, it expands radially in all directions following the path of least resistance. Natural water has impurities including salt. When Salt (Na) dissolve they disassociate into ions. Natural water can be a good conductor. The electrical current travels primarily along the surface of the water. Pure water has few ions available due to it being a covalent compound. Free ions are needed for water to be a good conductor. Human bodies conduct water well due to dissolved salts within in body fluids. The saltier the water (oceans), the less the resistance, the higher the current. A similar concept occurs when lightning hits water.

Answer 800

Time machines rely on Einstein's theory of relativity. Below are a couple options: 1. Wormholes (Einstein Rosen Bridges) - A wormhole is a hypothetical tunnel-like structure connecting two separate points in spacetime. If one end of the wormhole is accelerated to near the speed of light and then brought back to its original position, time dilation could make the two ends desynchronized (one "older" and one "younger"). 2. Time Dilation (Special and General Relativity) - Einstein’s theory of relativity shows that time passes slower for objects moving close to the speed of light (special relativity) or in strong gravitational fields (general relativity). A spacecraft traveling near light speed could experience only a few years passing on board, while decades pass for those left behind on Earth.

Inspired by the reforms in the Soviet Union, students, intellectuals, and workers demanded greater political freedoms, government accountability, and an end to corruption. in 1989, the death of Hu Yaobang, a reformist communist party leader, sparked demonstrations on Tiananmen Square with crowds up to hundreds of thousands. The iconic "Goddess of Democracy" statue was erected in the square as a symbol of their aspirations. To deter the demonstrations, the Chinese gov issued martial law which caused further outrage. The Chinese gov responded by surrounding Tiananmen Square with tanks and armed troops and opening fire on the crowds. The exact number of deaths is unknown due to censorship, but it is expected to be hundreds and potentially thousands - The Tank Man photo is the most iconic and powerful images from Tiananmen Square which shows a lone protester referred to as "Tank Man" standing in front of a column of Chinese military tanks driving down the road the day after the violent crackdown on protestors

Answer 831

1. The waiving flag - In the footage of the Apollo moon landing the U.S flag appears to wave despite there being no atmosphere on the moon to cause movement Counter Point - The flag moved due to the astronauts twisting the pole into the ground and without air resistance the motion took longer to stop 2. No stars in the sky - The photos and videos from the Moon show no stars in the background, which is suspicious because stars should be visible in the vacuum of space Counterpoint - The exposure settings of the cameras were optimized for the bright lunar surface and astronauts, making the dimmer stars invisible. 3. Shadows and Lighting - The shadows in the moon landing photos are inconsistent, suggesting multiple light sources, such as studio lighting Counterpoint - The uneven terrain of the Moon's surface and the single light source (the Sun) can create complex shadow patterns.

Answer 832

1. The twin towers (WTC) collapsed in a way that suggests they were brought down by a controlled demolition such as pre-planted explosives. Jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams. Jet fuel burns at 1,980F and steels melting point is 2,500F Counterpoint: Steel doesn't have to melt to lose strength. Even though steel doesn’t melt, the weakening of the steel due to high temperatures was enough to cause the floors to collapse under the weight of the structure above 2. World Trade Center Building 7 collapsed several hours after the twin towers fell in a way that was suspicious and could have only been deliberate detonation of explosives Counterpoint - WTC 7 collapsed due to fires ignited by debris from the collapse of the twin towers, as determined by NIST after an extensive investigation 3. The US government had a motive to launch the war on terror to secure control of oil reserves. Counterpoint - The official investigation found zero evidence of US government involvement

Answer 833

1. Lack of observable curvature - If the Earth were truly a globe, the curvature should be easily observable, especially from tall buildings, mountain tops and airplanes. Counterpoint - The Earth's curvature is indeed observable from higher altitudes, but the scale is such that it isn't obvious at smaller heights. At 35,000 feet (cruising altitude for planes), the curvature is very subtle and hard to detect with the naked eye. 2. Flight Paths and the Southern Hemisphere - Routes, such as those from South America to Australia or other Southern Hemisphere destinations, don’t make sense on a globe. For example, a flight from Santiago, Chile to Sydney, Australia would, in their view, be much longer than it would be on a flat Earth map. Counterpoint - Flight routes are planned using great-circle paths, which represent the shortest distance between two points on a sphere. The routes that appear strange on flat Earth maps are simply due to distortions in how flat maps represent distances 3. Antarctica as a wall of ice - Antarctica acts as a boundary that prevents people from exploring the edge of the Earth and that the government hides this fact to maintain the illusion of a round Earth. Counterargument: Antarctica is a continent that has been extensively explored and mapped. It’s governed by international treaties, but its existence as a landmass is well-documented. The ice wall theory is unsupported by evidence and contradicts years of exploration and scientific data.

Jevon's Paradox Example: -Improvement: Modern cars are much more fuel-efficient than older models. A car that once got 20 miles per gallon might now get 35 miles per gallon. -Expected Outcome: You might expect less fuel to be consumed overall because each car uses less gas per mile traveled. - Jevons Paradox in Action: Because the cost of driving a mile is lower, people might drive more. With lower fuel costs per mile, people may be more likely to take longer trips or use cars for trips they would have otherwise skipped. Additionally, with better fuel efficiency, more people might be inclined to buy cars, leading to greater total fuel consumption.

One morning, Little Red Riding Hood’s mother gave her a basket filled with food and said, “Take this to your grandmother, who is sick in bed. Stay on the path, and don’t talk to strangers!” As she walked through the forest, a cunning wolf appeared. “Where are you going, little girl?” he asked sweetly. “To my grandmother’s house,” she answered, forgetting her mother’s warning. The wolf, being a sly trickster, came up with a plan. The wolf suggested that Little Red Riding Hood pick some flowers for her grandmother. While she was distracted, he ran ahead to Grandmother’s house, knocked on the door, and pretended to be Little Red Riding Hood. The wolf swallowed Grandmother whole and put on her clothes, lying in bed to wait for Little Red Riding Hood. When Little Red Riding Hood arrived, she noticed something was strange about her grandmother. The wolf leaped out of bed and swallowed Little Red Riding Hood whole as well. Luckily, a passing hunter (or woodcutter, in some versions) heard loud snoring from the house. He looked inside, saw the sleeping wolf with a full belly, and realized what had happened. He cut open the wolf’s stomach, and out popped Grandmother and Little Red Riding Hood, safe and sound! They filled the wolf’s belly with heavy stones, and when he woke up, he collapsed and died.

Answer 864

A poor woodcutter lived in the forest with his wife and his two children, Hansel and Gretel. A great famine struck the land, and the mother worried that they would all starve. “We must abandon the children in the woods,” she told the woodcutter. Though he protested, she convinced him that it was their only chance to survive. That night, Hansel overheard their plan. He snuck outside and collected white pebbles, hiding them in his pocket. The next day, as the parents led Hansel and Gretel deep into the forest, Hansel secretly dropped the pebbles along the way. After their parents left, the children followed the glowing pebbles back home. Their stepmother was furious, and soon, she convinced the woodcutter to try again. This time, Hansel tried to gather pebbles, but the door was locked. Instead, he used breadcrumbs from their small meal to mark the way. When their parents abandoned them again, Hansel and Gretel tried to follow the crumbs—but the birds had eaten them all. Lost in the woods, they wandered for three days, hungry and scared. They come across a gingerbread house. Starving, they began eating the roof and windows. Suddenly, an old woman came out. “My dear children, come inside! You must be so hungry.” She gave them food and a warm bed. But what they didn’t know was... she was an evil witch who ate children! The next morning, the witch locked Hansel in a cage and forced Gretel to cook and clean. “When your brother is fat enough, I will eat him!” she cackled. Hansel tricked the witch by holding out a bone instead of his finger when she checked his weight (since she had poor eyesight). She grew impatient and decided to eat him anyway. The witch told Gretel to crawl inside the oven to check if it was hot enough (planning to cook Hansel). But Gretel realized it was a trap. “I don’t know how,” she said. “Foolish girl! Watch me!” the witch yelled, sticking her head inside. Gretel shoved the witch into the oven and slammed the door shut! The witch burned to ashes, and Hansel and Gretel were finally free. Before leaving, they found a chest of treasure and filled their pockets. On their way home, they crossed a river with the help of a friendly swan. When they finally reached home, they discovered that their wicked stepmother had died, and their father welcomed them with tears of joy. With the witch’s gold and jewels, they lived happily ever after, never hungry again.

Answer 920

The Bretton Woods Conference occurred in 1944 near the end of WW2. The goal was to stabilize international currencies. The US had leverage at the time, and it resulted in tying global currencies to the US dollar, which was backed to gold at a fixed price of 35$ per ounce. The US dollar became the primary global currency for trade. It required the US to keep enough gold supply to back its money reserves. By the 1960s, the US was spending a ton of money on the Vietnam War and Great Society Program. This resulted in more dollars to be printed and inflation to rise. The US was required to back each dollar with gold. Foreign countries like France and West Germany began exchanging their US dollars for gold. The US government and President Nixon feared they would run out of gold to back each dollar. Nixon took the US off the gold standard and the Bretton Woods System in 1971 making the US dollar a fiat system, meaning its value is based on trust in the US government and economy. Today, the federal government controls the money supply through interest rate policies and Quantitative easing (printing money).

Answer 921

Devaluing a currency is intentionally devaluing the value of their money compared to others. A government or central bank can devalue its currency by increasing the money supply, lower interest rates, selling large amounts of its own currency in foreign exchange markets. Pros: - Boosts Exports. A weaker currency makes a countries goods cheaper/more attractive. Increasing demand. - Reduces Trade Deficits. Exports increase and imports become more expensive. More domestic buying from businesses and consumers. - Eases Debt Burden. If I owe $100 and have the ability to generate more money out of thin air, I have more money, but the debt amount stays the same. This is only true if the countries debt is in their own currency. It can be a negative if their debt is in another countries currency. Cons: - Inflation. Imported goods become more expensive. Higher costs for consumers. - Less Purchasing Power. Citizens money buys less internationally. Countries that have devalued their currencies: China - 2015, 2019 Venezuela - 2018 Argentina - 2023

Answer 922

Investors are more likely to buy a currency that offers higher returns on savings and bonds. - Cheaper Imports. Foreign goods and travel become more affordable. - Lower Inflation. Imported goods cost less. - Exports can decline which in turn could reduce GDP growth. The US has a strong dollar. The US ecomomy is large and stable. Federal Reserve controls interest rates to attract investors. The dollar is the global currency which creates consistent demand.

Answer 1022

Rain occurs because of the water cycle, which moves water through earth's atmosphere and surface. The Water Cycle: 1. Evaporation: Water from oceans, lakes and rivers and plants evaporates due to heat from the sun 2. Condensation: As the water vapor rises into cooler parts in the atmosphere, it cools down and condenses into tiny water droplets, forming clouds 3. Cloud Formation: When many water droplets gather around tiny particles (like dust or pollen), clouds grow larger and denser 4. Precipitation (rain): Once the droplets become too heavy to stay suspended in the cloud, gravity pulls them down as rain. If it’s cold enough, it may fall as snow, sleet, or hail instead

Answer 1023

Step By Step; 1. Charge Separation in a Cloud - Inside storm clouds (like cumulonimbus clouds), air, water droplets, and ice are constantly moving and colliding. These collisions cause a separation of electric charges 2. Ground Gets Charged Too - The negative charge at the cloud base pushes electrons away from the ground beneath it, making the ground positively charged. This sets up a powerful electric field between the cloud and the ground (or between parts of the cloud) 3. Discharge Happens — Lightning - When the difference in charge becomes too great, it overcomes the resistance of the air. The cloud discharges the built-up energy as a bolt of lightning—a rapid movement of electrons. *** thunder comes after lightning because light travels faster than sound
