Wolves of Isle Royale Rolk Peterson 3 Part III (35 points) - Math Review and Preparation In AP Environmental Science class, you will hear the two words most dreaded by high school students… NO CALCULATORS! That is correct! You cannot use a calculator on the AP Environmental Science exam. The tests you will take are designed to prepare you for the AP College Board Exam. You will not be able to use calculators on regular tests all year either. Most calculations on the tests and exams require easy calculations and result in whole numbers or only a few decimal places. The challenge is in setting up the problems correctly and knowing enough basic math to solve the problems. With practice, you will be a math expert by the time you take the AP Environmental Science Exam So, put your calculator away and refresh your math skills! You will be tested on the math skills in this packet the second week of school! Contents - Decimals - Averages - Percentages and Percent change - Metric Units - Scientific Notation - Dimensional Analysis Reminders 1. Write out all your work, even if it requires a simple task. - This is required on the APES exam so it will be required on all your assignments, labs, quizzes, and tests as well. 2. Include units in each step. - Your answers always need units and it is important to write them in every step. 3. Check your work. 4. Go back through each step to make sure you did not make any mistakes in your calculations. 5. Check to determine if your answer makes sense. ⮚ For example, a person probably will not eat 13 million pounds of meat in a year. ⮚ If you get an answer that seems unlikely, it probably is. ⮚ Go back and review your work! 4 Directions 1. Read each section below for review. 2. Look over the examples and use them for help on the practice problems. 3. When you get to the practice problems, write out all your work and be sure to include units on each step. 4. Check your work. Decimals Part I: The Basics Decimals show fractional numbers. The first number behind the decimal is the tenths place, the next is the hundredths place, and the next is the thousandths place. Places beyond that should be in scientific notation. (See Scientific Notation section) Create a Place Value Chart to illustrate the places from ones to millions and tenths to millionths. Part II: Adding or Subtracting Decimals To add or subtract decimals, make sure you line up the decimals and then fill in any extra spots with zeros. Add or subtract just like usual. Be sure to put a decimal in the answer aligned with the ones in the problem. Part III: Multiplying Decimals Line up the numbers just as you would if there were no decimals. DO NOT line up the decimals. Write the decimals in the numbers but then ignore them while you are solving the multiplication problem just as you would if there were no decimals at all. After you have your answer, count all the numbers behind the decimal point(s). Count the same number of places over in your answer and write in the decimal. 5 Part IV: Dividing Decimals Scenario One: If the divisor (the number after the / or before the ) does not have a decimal, set up the problems just like a regular division problem. Solve the problem just like a regular division problem. When you have your answer, put a decimal in the same place as the decimal in the dividend (the number before the / or under the ). Scenario Two: If the divisor does have a decimal, make it a whole number before you start. Move the decimal to the end of the number, and then move the decimal in the dividend the same number of places. Then solve the problem just like a regular division problem. Put the decimal above the decimal in the dividend. (See Scenario 1 problem). Practice: Remember to show all your work, include units if given, and NO CALCULATORS! All work and answers go on your answer sheet. 1. 1.678 + 2.456 = 2. 344.598 + 276.9 = 3. 1229.078 + .0567 = 4. 45.937 – 13.43 = 5. 199.007 – 124.553 = 6.

  • Tropical Malady: Film & the Question of the Uncanny Human-Animal
    etropic 10(2011): Creed, Tropical Malady | 131 Tropical Malady: Film & the Question of the Uncanny Human-Animal “The tiger trails you like a shadow/ his spirit is starving and lonesome/I see you are his prey and his companion” – Tropical Malady. Barbara Creed University of Melbourne Abstract The acclaimed Thai film, Tropical Malady (2004), represents the tropics as a surreal place where conscious and unconscious are as inextricably entwined. Directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Tropical Malady presents two interconnected stories: one a quirky gay love story; the other a strange disconnected narrative about a shape-shifting shaman, a man-beast and a ghostly tiger. This paper will argue that from it beginnings in the silent period, the cinema has created an uncanny zone of tropicality where human and animal merge. rom its beginnings in the early twentieth century the cinema has expressed an F enduring fascination with the tropics as an imaginary space. While many filmmakers have envisaged the tropics as an unspoiled paradise (Bird of Paradise, 1932, 1951; The Moon of Manakoora, 1943; South Pacific, 1958), a view which has its origins in classical times, others have represented the tropics as a deeply uncanny zone where familiar and unfamiliar coalesce. It is as if the heat and intensity of the tropics has liquefied matter until normally incommensurate forms are able to dissolve almost imperceptibly into each other. In this process the boundaries between different systems of thought, ideas and ethics similarly dissipate, creating a space for new and often subversive ideas to flourish. As Driver and Martins state, the meaning of “tropicality” is so elastic a number of discourses have been able to shape it to suit their own purposes.

    49 UP A Film by Michael Apted 135 minutes, color & b/w, 2005, UK First Run Features 630 Ninth Avenue, Suite 1213 New York, NY 10036 (212) 243-0600/Fax (212) 989-7649 email: [email protected] www.firstrunfeatures.com SYNOPSIS 49 Up , the latest installment of Granada’s landmark documentary series, revisits the group of people whose lives have been documented since they were seven, to see where they are now as they approach their half century. The original Seven Up was broadcast in 1964 as a one-off World in Action Special featuring children who were selected from different backgrounds and social spheres to talk about their hopes and dreams for the future. As members of the generation who would be running the country by the year 2000, what did they think they would become? Inspired by World in Action founder Tim Hewat’s passionate interest in both the Jesuit saying “Give me the child until he is seven and I will show you the man” and the rigid class system of 1960s Britain, Seven Up set out to discover whether or not the children’s lives were pre-determined by their backgrounds. The result was ground-breaking television – the very first example of a program recording real people living real lives – and the follow-up films have won an array of awards. Director Michael Apted, who has since moved to Hollywood to direct films including Gorky Park , The Coal Miner’s Daughter , The World Is Not Enough and Gorillas in the Mist , has returned every seven years to chart the children’s progress through life.

Fossey’s celebrity (or, perhaps better, her notoriety) is attributable to several different factors, not least the 1988 Hollywood film (Gorillas in the Mist) celebrating her exploits.
