Typically, hedging strategies are implemented as a means of protection. The dictionary tells us that hedging strategies involve making counterbalancing investments in order to avoid a loss. With regards to the futures market, hedging strategies involve a position in the market that is the opposite of an entity’s current position. Any gain or loss in the cash market is usually followed by a counterbalanced effect in the futures market since the two markets tend to move up and down together. The counterbalanced movement of the two markets is not necessarily identical, but it is usually enough to mitigate the risk of significant loss in the cash market. Hedging is common for farmers or livestock producers that need protection against price drops in livestock or in crops, and also for protection against price increases on purchased inputs such as fertilizer. Like the farmers seeking hedging strategies to mitigate the risks that come with rising prices of purchased goods, Thomas Foods hopes to do the same for the goods they purchase from the farmers.…

Drinking age is not a strange phrase in our lives. Every time when we go to club or buy some liquor, we have to show our photo ID to prove that we have already 21 and we are legal to drink wine. I think this is a really good method to control drinking problem. Before I read these two articles which are “The 21-Year-Old Drinking Age: I Voted for it, It Doesn’t Work” by Dr. Morris E. Chafetz and “The Drinking Age of 21 Saves Lives” by Toben F. Nelson and Traci L. Toomey, I only felt that when people grow up they will have self-control to hold their desire for drinking and could decide whether it is appropriate to drink at that moment. I didn’t collect any data or information to support my opinion, only some horrible news such as “teenagers died due to drunk driving” and “youn girl was raped because both sides were drunk” remind me that limiting drinking age is really important and we should support the idea of raising drinking age of 21.…
My Name is Brittany Larkin and for my senior project I have chosen to do How Music Impacts Drugs on My Community. My motivation for this project is that today’s society has changed over the years, and more and more I see not only some of my fellow classmates, and my friends, but my family members’ usage of drugs impact over the years. One day I’m walking home from school and a group of young boys about my little brothers age so I say about 11-12 years old smoking and rapping “ I said wait hold up please let me roll up” and thinking to myself did that music make them want to smoke drugs or was it the drugs that decided the type of music they listened to. More and more new songs about drugs have come out come out for example the molly dance, and I myself have noticed ever since the song has been released more and more people find it fascinating to want to do a “Molly” because it seemed cool and the rappers. People they look up to have tried it or claimed they tried it. I think it’s not just rap music though that impacts drugs; I think every genre has a different impact on drugs. That’s another reason why I chose this particular project to see if it’s just rap music, and if indeed it is I want to know what are the different solutions we can take to change this. Maybe less drugs and more successful things in music like staying in…
