Angel dust, PeaCe pills, super grass, and zoom are all street names for Phencyclidine, or PCP for short. If PCP is mixed with marijuana, it is known as dust blunt, happy sticks, or dippers. If PCP is mixed with ecstasy, or also known as MDMA, then it is called elephant flipping or Pikachu. Only the history of PCP can tell us where some of these exotic names for this drug came from. PCP was originally developed as an anesthetic for human in the 1950’s and eventually made its way to become a tranquilizer in veterinarian medicine (Rudgley, 1998. Karch, 1998). Eventually in 1965, the legal use of this drug was ended due to severe side effects to the user. Despite the fact that PCP became illegal, Clandestine laboratories manufactured and sold this drug in a pill form, which gave way to one of its strange name known as the PeaCe Pill (Karch, 1998). A clandestine laboratory is an illegally run operation usually by gangs to manufacture illegal drugs. By 1978 the drug became widely popular due to these illegal laboratories and

List at least two major reasons that Medicare administrators turned to the prospective payment concept for Medicare beneficiaries.

My understanding of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA) is average to above average and specifically how it affects me and other individuals. According to Kaiser (2013) the main component of PPACA is most individuals and legal residents are required to have health insurance. To accomplish the goal of reducing the 40 million uninsured is for Medicaid expands to 133% of the federal poverty level (Lammers, n.d.). Next, adult individuals whom are 26 years of age or younger can be covered under their parents’ insurance plan and children and adults can’t be denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions.

Q8. “When performing “substantially all” and “predominant” tests for financial requirements and quantitative treatment limitations under MHPAEA, may a plan or issuer base the analysis on an issuer’s entire overall book of business for the year”?

The provisions of PPACA will affect Medicare’s payments to acute care hospitals and will constrain payment increases to these hospitals, restructure payments to address treatment inefficiencies, and then reshape Medicare’s disproportionate share hospital hospital subsidies. Also, the exception that permits physicians with ownership interests in a hospital to refer Medicare and Medicaid patients to that hospital will be eliminated for new doctor owned hospitals or those that did not meet certain criteria.

To avoid spurious results, unit root tests using Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) (Dickey and Fuller, 1981) and Philips-Perron (PP) are performed to determine the time-series properties of the variables employed in the analysis. Two or more variables are said to be co-integrated when they exhibit long run equilibrium (relationship) if they share common trend(s).Therefore Auto-regressive distributed lag bounds approach (ARDL) is used to test it. The choice is based on several

One important determinant of a country 's exchange rate in the long term is whether it has a higher or lower inflation rate than its trading partners. The theory of purchasing power parity (PPP) suggests that the exchange rate between two countries will adjust to ensure that purchasing power is equalised in both countries. If a country 's inflation rate is persistently higher than that its trading partners, its trade-weighted exchange rate will tend to depreciate to prevent a progressive loss of competitiveness over time. In addition, political events can also impact the exchange rate, as seen with the ‘Malcolm Turnbull effect’ which lifted the Australian dollar. The Australian dollar, at US70.68c broke US71c in overnight trade after Turnbull discussed the need for economic reforms to counteract "challenges" facing the slowing local economy. Shortly after Mr Turnbull was confirmed as the victor against Prime Minister Tony Abbott, the dollar additionally rose one-third of a cent.

Currency: Japan uses the Yen, as The United States Uses the dollar. Exchange Rate 12/31/04 US=$1 and Yen = 110.5. Gross Domestic Product (GDP, at market exchange rate) $4.8 trillion for Japan and for the United States it is $11.50 trillion for 2004. Inflation Rate (consumer prices) Japan actually as a deflation of -0.4% as the United States as a inflation rate of 1.90%. Current Account Balance (2004F): $174.1 billion for Japan and the United States is 187.9 billion .Major Trading Partners for both countries.: Germany, Asian NIEs, China, OPEC Merchandise Exports (2004F): $522.4 billion for Japan and $630.57 billion for the United States. Merchandise Imports (2004F): $395.9 billion for Japan and 647 billion for United States. Merchandise Trade Surplus (2004F): $126.5 billion for Japan and for the United States it is $167 billion. Major Export Products for Both Countries: Machinery and transport equipment; chemical and other manufactured goods Major Import Products both countries: Chemical and other manufactured goods; machinery and transport equipment; mineral

This paper aims to compare the Japanese Yen against the US Dollar over a five year period starting from 2005 till 2010. The exchange traded fund for Japanese Yen shall also be discussed in the paper and afterwards an analysis of both the currencies shall be presented. There are different factors that influence the exchange rate differences between any two chosen currencies. The effects produced by these different exchange rates can be of quite different intensity. The most common elements that have an impact on exchange rate difference include economic factors, socio political factors and other behavioral or technical factors also. The macroeconomic factors such as growth of a country, employment rate, gross domestic product etc. All

There is some uncertainty about the demand for PIA's service in Pakistan, because it is difficult to estimate the impact of the expansion on the demand. Avicular Controls would now be more accessible to Pakistan's consumers, but the precise increase in the demand for cannot be easily forecasted. This demand is affected by future economic conditions and future competition. In addition to these factors, there is much uncertainty about the future exchange rate at which the funds will be converted into dollars. Again, the value of Pakistan's currency has been very volatile over time and has typically depreciated substantially against the dollar. Thus, it would be natural to estimate the dollar cash flows by assuming some degree of depreciation in Pakistan's currency, but there would still be much uncertainty regarding the degree of depreciation.

Japan ranks as the third largest economy in the world as of 2010. The GDP at current prices in US dollars in Japan was reported at 5068.06 billion in 2009, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Japan’s resurgence after World War II has however reached an inflection point in yearly 1989 after the burst of Japan’s asset price and real estate bubbles. As can be seen from the graph below, Japan’s GDP has hovered around the same level through more than 20 years of economic stagnation. The GDP’s slow growth has been exacerbated by the world financial crisis of 2008. A major landmark of Japan’s stagnation has been the BOJ’s fight against deflation.

There has been a long standing controversy among the economist about the validity of PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) in the long run. The parity reveals that prices in two different economies should be identical to each other when they expressed in terms of the same currency. It is a central building block in the monetary models of exchange rate determination. One of the most common practices, to test the validity of PPP is through unit root test of real exchange rate. In this paper unit root test has been done based on the data on Bangladesh and its major trading partner India, to see whether exchange rate has unit root or not. It has been found out that the PPP holds i.e. real exchange is not trend stationary in the
