What is an effect of businesses laying off workers? Workers have less money to spend. Businesses have higher costs. Businesses make more money. Workers demand higher wages.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Businesses have higher cost to pay and cant afford to keep all their workers.
Answer:
Workers have less money to spend.
Explanation:
If businesses lay off workers, they sometimes do not have any net gain of profit as they lose the labor that the workers give which balances out the money the business has from not paying workers. If a worker is laid off, how can they demand higher wages? They can't. The business does not have any higher costs, they have lower costs as they do not have to pay workers. However, this does not give the business more money as they lose the labor that the workers were giving. Laying off employees is a last resort in an attempt to keep a profit going. The only sure thing is that the workers have less money to spend, as they are not getting paid because they just got laid off. Therefore, the answer is the first choice.

The Texas State Constitution forces the government to have a balanced budget every two years.
True or false?
Explanation:
The Texas budget process begins during the year prior to each regular session of the state's Legislature, which are held in odd-numbered years.
Each state agency prepares a detailed legislative appropriations request (LAR) under the guidelines of the state's Legislative Budget Board (LBB). These LARs itemize the funding each agency feels it needs to pursue its various tasks, and include performance measures designed to ensure the money is spent efficiently and effectively.
These LARs generally are sent to LBB, the Comptroller's office and several other state agencies by the end of summer or in early fall. The LBB and the Governor's Office of Budget, Planning and Policy hold hearings on their content.
In the fall before the session, LBB uses the LARs as a basis to prepare a draft of the state's general appropriations bill, which will provide state agencies and institutions with funding for the following two fiscal years.
At the beginning of the legislative session, the Comptroller's office issues its biennial revenue estimate (BRE), a careful estimate of the funds likely to be available from taxes and other revenue sources over the next two years. The Texas Constitution makes the BRE a cap on legislative spending for this period.
Both the Texas House Committee on Appropriations and the Senate Finance Committee hold hearings on the general appropriations bill, and make changes to it reflecting the BRE's limits and their funding priorities. When the committees complete their versions of the bill, they send them to the full House and Senate, respectively, for approval.
These two bills then go to a conference committee made up of members of both the House and Senate, which resolves their differences to produce a single bill reflecting the wishes of both bodies. Both houses then vote on this bill. Once approved, it goes to the Comptroller's office for "certification," a formal statement from the Comptroller that the bill spends no more than the amounts reflected in the BRE.
The bill then faces a final hurdle, the governor's signature. Texas has a "line-item veto," allowing the governor to trim individual spending items from the bill as he or she sees fit. (This veto can be overridden by a two-thirds majority vote in each house, but in practice the governor's decisions are rarely challenged.)
Once signed, the bill becomes law, directing the state's finances for two more years.

Akhenaten was not liked by the people of Egypt during his reign as pharaoh because he forced them to change their religion from polytheistic to monotheistic. Describe the changes that he tried to make. Based on what you know about Egyptian religion, why do you think this would have been such a large change?
Answer: Akhenaten (pronounced /ˌækəˈnɑːtən/),[8] also spelled Echnaton,[9] Akhenaton,[3] Ikhnaton,[2] and Khuenaten[10][11] (Ancient Egyptian: ꜣḫ-n-jtn, meaning "Effective for the Aten"), was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh reigning c. 1353–1336[3] or 1351–1334 BC,[4] the tenth ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty. Before the fifth year of his reign, he was known as Amenhotep IV (Ancient Egyptian: jmn-ḥtp, meaning "Amun is satisfied", Hellenized as Amenophis IV).

Atenism
Akhenaten is noted for abandoning Egypt's traditional polytheistic religion and introducing Atenism, worship centered on Aten. The views of Egyptologists differ whether Atenism should be considered as absolute monotheism, or whether it was monolatry, syncretism, or henotheism.[12][13] This culture shift away from traditional religion was not widely accepted. After his death, Akhenaten's monuments were dismantled and hidden, his statues were destroyed, and his name excluded from lists of rulers compiled by later pharaohs.[14] Traditional religious practice was gradually restored, notably under his close successor Tutankhamun, who changed his name from Tutankhaten early in his reign.[15] When some dozen years later rulers without clear rights of succession from the Eighteenth Dynasty founded a new dynasty, they discredited Akhenaten and his immediate successors, referring to Akhenaten himself as "the enemy" or "that criminal" in archival records.[16][17]
Akhenaten was all but lost to history until the late 19th century discovery of Amarna, or Akhetaten, the new capital city he built for the worship of Aten.[18] Furthermore, in 1907, a mummy that could be Akhenaten's was unearthed from the tomb KV55 in the Valley of the Kings by Edward R. Ayrton. Genetic testing has determined that the man buried in KV55 was Tutankhamun's father,[19] but its identification as Akhenaten has since been questioned.[6][7][20][21][22]
Akhenaten's rediscovery and Flinders Petrie's early excavations at Amarna sparked great public interest in the pharaoh and his queen Nefertiti. He has been described as "enigmatic", "mysterious", "revolutionary", "the greatest idealist of the world", and "the first individual in history", but also as a "heretic", "fanatic", "possibly insane", and "mad".[12][23][24][25][26] The interest comes from his connection with Tutankhamun, the unique style and high quality of the pictorial arts he patronized, and ongoing interest in the religion he attempted to establish.

____ means the government can only do exactly what is written in the constitution.
A. Tarriff
B. Loose Construction
C. Strict Construction
Answer: Strict Construction
Explanation: This answer is kind of obvious. A tariff is a tax on imported goods, so it has nothing to do with the Constitution. Loose Construction is what Federalists/Hamiltonians believed in, and ultimately what was Hamilton's case in having the national bank formed. Strict Construction was Jefferson & Madison's rebuttal to the National Bank, stating that because the National Bank was not stated in the Constitution, Hamilton couldn't fund/found the bank.

Answer:
Dear editor, Lynching is very wrong. I think its should be stopped. Lynchings were violent public acts that white people used to terrorize and control Black people in the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly in the South. Lynchings typically evoke images of Black men and women hanging from trees, but they involved other extreme brutality, such as torture, mutilation, decapitation, and desecration. Some victims were burned alive.A typical lynching involved a criminal accusation, an arrest, and the assembly of a mob, followed by seizure, physical torment, and murder of the victim. Lynchings were often public spectacles attended by the white community in celebration of white supremacy. Photos of lynchings were often sold as souvenir postcards.

Snake Story
Becky moved off of the porch slowly, backing through the door and into the house. She slammed the sliding glass door shut and stood for a moment, relieved to have something solid between her and the snake on the porch.
The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe, at last, inside. Or was she? How had that snake gotten into the screened-in and walled-up back porch. If it could get in there, it's possible it could get inside where she was as well.
Becky wasn't someone who was normally skittish about wild things. She'd handled snakes before, picked up lizards many times, caught frogs in the garage and let them go. But snakes seemed to always catch her off guard. They would turn up when least expected. She would see them out of the corner of her eye and just the surprise of it would make her jump; her adrenalin would pump, her heart would thump, and her panic would take over.
What was she going to do? She couldn't just stand there waiting for the snake to decide to leave. What if it were venomous? It didn't look like a viper, but it could be. She would need to get out there soon to water the plants.
"What this requires is some advanced planning," she said out loud to her cat, Louie. "And, I will probably have to go 'once more into the fray' kitty," she said, looking in the cat's direction for emphasis.
"First things first, though," she said. The cat meowed back. It often did that, having become used to being talked to. "Let's look that fellow up," Becky said walking to her bookshelf.
"Let's see, snakes," she said, thumbing through her reptile and amphibian identification book. "It's brown and gray, with some black. With a pattern that looks ... there it is," she said thumping the page so hard that Louie jumped. "Not venomous," she said, triumphantly.
"It's an oak snake, Louie," she returned the book and strode over to her closet. "Not venomous, but I am still not taking chances," she said.
She reached into the closet and pulled out her heaviest jacket. It was lined and stuffed thick with lots of padding. Then she found her mittens and a pair of rubber boots. She knew even non-venomous snakes would sometimes threaten to strike when scared. "And that threat would work on me," Becky said aloud again, though Louie had no idea what she was talking about.
"It's 90 degrees outside, Louie," she said, "so get the iced lemonade ready for when I return."
It wasn't much of a plan, but it was the best she could come up with. With her armor on, she was already sweating when she slowly pushed open the sliding glass door and stepped back on to the porch.
She was pretty sure the snake would slither away from her presence. She propped open the outside door, and hoped she could shoo the snake in that direction.
Sweat dampened her arms and collected on her face. She spread her arms out, and took a few steps toward the snake. There was so much for it to hide beneath. Becky regretted the rocking chairs and all the plant stands between where the snake was in the corner and the door to the outside.
At first it seemed like the snake was just going to remain where it was, flicking its tongue every now and then. Becky waved her arms, lunged in its direction, and stomped her feet. It sat there, coiled in the corner, as if perfectly happy to remain there. In a fit of desperation, she picked up one side of the rocking chair the snake was under and let it drop. The snake jumped, raised its head like it was going to strike, and then stayed right where it was.
"Snake," Becky said, "This is not how it works. You have got to go." The snake moved its head back and forth, swaying a bit, and that gave Becky an idea.
She had read somewhere that snakes can "hear" thanks to the ability to process vibrations through the bone in their jaw. This awareness of vibrations in the ground was one reason it was very hard to sneak up on snakes. She quickly realized that getting the snake out was going to be a lot easier than she had thought.
Becky turned on the radio she kept on the porch and lowered it to the ground, pointing in the snake's direction. She adjusted the controls so that the bass was as high as it could go. Then she cranked up the volume. She envisioned the snake swaying to the sounds of "Dancing Queen by Abba, and then leaving the porch and going far far away.
Coming back into the house she began peeling off the now damp armaments she had put on earlier. "Louie, there is more than one way to skin a snake," she said laughing. She watched as the snake uncoiled and moved cautiously in the direction of the door. Bending down to pick up Louie Becky sighed and stroked his head. "'Cause no one ever wants to skin a cat sweetie
The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe at last inside.

What was the exact content of the lost Library of Alexandria, including specific texts, documents, and knowledge that were irretrievably destroyed?
Answer:
The exact content of the lost Library of Alexandria is difficult to determine with certainty due to its destruction and the lack of comprehensive records. However, the library was known for housing a vast collection of ancient texts, documents, and knowledge from various civilizations.
The library contained a wide range of works, including scientific, mathematical, philosophical, historical, and literary texts. It is believed to have housed important works by renowned scholars and thinkers of the time, such as Aristotle, Euclid, Archimedes, and Socrates. Many original manuscripts and writings from ancient Greek, Egyptian, and other cultures were likely present in the library.
Unfortunately, the library was destroyed during different periods of history, including a fire in the 1st century BCE and subsequent invasions and conflicts. As a result, a significant amount of ancient knowledge and valuable texts were lost forever. The exact extent and specific details of the lost content remain a subject of speculation and scholarly debate.
Answer:
The works of Homer, the ancient Greek poet who wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey. According to some sources, the Library had a complete collection of his works, and scholars tried to edit and standardize them.
The works of Plato, the influential Greek philosopher who wrote dialogues such as the Republic and the Symposium. The Library had a copy of his original edition, which was later corrected by his student Aristotle.
The works of Aristotle, the Greek philosopher and scientist who wrote on various topics such as logic, ethics, politics, biology, and metaphysics. The Library had his original manuscripts, which were later edited by his successors.
The works of Euclid, the Greek mathematician who wrote the Elements, a foundational treatise on geometry and number theory. The Library had his original edition, which was later revised by other mathematicians.
The works of Archimedes, the Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer, and inventor who wrote on topics such as mechanics, hydrostatics, calculus, and geometry. The Library had some of his original works, such as On the Sphere and Cylinder and On Floating Bodies.
The works of Eratosthenes, the Greek mathematician, astronomer, geographer, and librarian who was the head of the Library for several years. He wrote on topics such as geography, chronology, astronomy, and mathematics. He is famous for calculating the circumference of the Earth using geometry and measuring angles.
Explanation/Description:
That is a very difficult question to answer, as the exact content of the lost Library of Alexandria is unknown. The Library was the most famous and largest library of the ancient world, and it contained hundreds of thousands of documents from various civilizations and cultures. However, the Library was destroyed by several fires and attacks over the centuries, and most of its collection was lost forever.

The news article says all of the following except __________.
A.Listening to loud music can turn microscopic hair cells in the inner ear into scar tissue.
B.Most young people listen to music that is twice as loud as a hair dryer or vacuum cleaner.
C.Experts believe that about 6.5 million young people have at least some difficulty hearing.
D.Hearing loss was discovered in 19.5 percent of teenagers tested between 2005 and 2006.
BOSTON, Massachusetts. A recent study revealed that one in five teenagers has at least some hearing loss. The rate of hearing loss among young people has grown significantly since about 1990. Now, experts are urging kids to turn down the volume on their digital music players. These experts suggest that listening to loud music through earbuds may be responsible for the increase.
For the study, researchers compared data from two nationwide health surveys of hearing loss in 12- to 19-year-olds. The first study was done between 1988 and 1994. The second was done between 2005 and 2006. In the first study, about 15 percent of teens were found to have at least some hearing loss. In the more recent study, 19.5 percent of teens had at least some hearing loss. This means that about 6.5 million young people have at least some difficulty hearing.
Most of the hearing loss in the teens was "slight." Researchers defined "slight" as an inability to hear at 16 to 24 decibels. A teen with slight hearing loss might not be able to hear sounds such as leaves rustling or someone whispering. Dr. Gary Curhan was the study's senior author. According to Curhan, people with slight hearing loss can hear vowel sounds clearly. However, they might miss sounds from some consonants, such as t, k, and s. Experts warn that this minor loss of hearing is sufficient to cause problems in school. It also sets the stage for hearing aids later in life.
"Although speech will be detectable, it might not be fully intelligible," Curhan said. Researchers lack final evidence that listening to iPods and other music devices is to blame for hearing loss in teens. However, researchers did note a significant increase in high-frequency hearing loss. This particular type of hearing loss, researchers said, indicates that noise may be to blame. Researchers cited a 2010 Australian study. The study linked the use of personal listening devices with a 70 percent increased risk of hearing loss in young peopl"I think the evidence is out there that prolonged exposure to loud noise is likely to be harmful to hearing, but that doesn't mean kids can't listen to MP3 players," Curhan said. "Our hope is we can encourage people to be careful."
Loud music isn't anything new, of course. Each recent generation of teens has found a new technology to blast music. Teens listened to bulky headphones in the 1960s and used the handheld Sony Walkmans in the 1980s. Today's teens, however, spend more time than ever listening to music. In fact, according to audiologist Brian Fligor, young people spend more than twice as much time listening to music than previous generations.
One of Fligor's patients is 17-year-old Matthew Brady of Foxborough, Massachusetts. Matthew has a mild hearing loss. He has trouble hearing his friends in the school cafeteria. He has admitted to occasionally faking comprehension. Matthew used to listen to an iPod turned up too loud and for too long. Fligor believes this caused Matthew's muffled hearing.
Matthew used to crank up the volume on his favorites—Daughtry, Bon Jovi, and U2—while walking on a treadmill. He did this at least four days a week for 30-minute stretches at a time. One day last summer, he got off the treadmill and couldn't hear anything with his left ear. His hearing gradually returned, but it was never the same.
Matthew's fondness for listening to loud music in not uncommon. During a study of college students, Fligor found that more than half of those tested listened to music at 85 decibels or louder. That's about as loud as a hair dryer or a vacuum cleaner. According to Fligor, regular listening at those levels can turn microscopic hair cells in the inner ear into scar tissue. Fligor believes that some people, such as Matthew, may be more likely to experience damage than others.
These days, Matthew still listens to his digital music player. But now he listens at lower volumes.
"Do not [blast] your iPod," Matthew cautions other teens. "It's only going to hurt your hearing. I learned this the hard way."

Examine the benefits and drawbacks of the ways in which Alexander used cultural diffusion in his conquest of other regions. Considering your list from the previous activity, write a paragraph of 100 to 150 words that analyzes the benefits and the drawbacks of cultural diffusion.
Answer:
There were immense qualities for Alexander, the great as a leader. One of the greatest qualities a leader should have been ambition. Alexander wanted to establish a vast empire and his ambition was fulfilled. He had conquered almost all the major countries of the Middle East and Asia Minor. He had also overthrown the Persian Empire by defeating the Persian king, Darius III.
He was one of the greatest military geniuses of all times. He was the inspiration of all the later rulers. His art of warfare was later studied by the later great rulers and generals in history. Alexander's leadership qualities in military and politics were obvious. He became the leader of powerful force which conquered all parts of the world including Asia. Alexander was also a great strategist.
Explanation:
Answer:
One benefit of cultural diffusion is the ability to communicate with others. When people have a common language and alphabet, it’s much easier to talk to others and share ideas. It also provides an opportunity to spread new ideas and discover different ways of thinking. A drawback of cultural diffusion is the loss of cultural identity, traditions, and languages. People could quickly lose the customs, celebrations, and stories that made their culture rich and unique.
