Fuel expenses grew at a faster rate than sales, fuel costs although seeing a fall off in 2009 by 20.52% rose by 29% in 2010. These costs continue to a major challenge for the company as referenced in the 2010’s annual report. Likewise, generation expenses will also increase when fuel increases as oil is the largest expense in that process. Due to efficiencies in the generating plant, the increases in costs were lower than that of fuel. Distribution expenses rose significantly in 2010 by 10.12% from 1.18% in 2009.This was as a result of Hurricane Tomas in 2010 as the distribution network was significantly impacted when several power lies were damaged.
Geography Practice Questions 1. Explain the changing relationship between regional centres and small towns Previously, regional centres and small towns worked in harmony. The regional centres provided the services that small towns did not have and vice versa. However, regional centres are growing with the expense of the small town. Services in regional centres are incentivising the large movement of populations away from small towns.
Human Population Growth Lisa Turley SCI/230 Shannon Kam October 24, 2014 A population is a subset of individuals of one species that occupies a particular geographic area and, in sexually reproducing species, interbreeds (2014). Limiting factors such as food supply and living conditions can affect a population’s size, density, age structure, and growth rate. There are models that are used to help explain the two types of population growths. An exponential population growth model takes the current populations and multiplying it by a number that represents the number of births minus the number of deaths. Exponential population of growth does not have limiting factors, but limiting factors may influence it.
Professor Stockman created a scenario, set it in the year 2030; helps put an illustration to what he is writing. The main point to take out of this illustration is the fact that in 2030, seniors will consume a large amount of good and services. The Professor asks, “Where will we these goods and services come from?” (Article 1) To every question there is answer. According to Professor Alan these answers are greatly limited and continue to be more limited as more time passes by. The two more important options would include: 1) Lower consumptions by the younger generation, 2) Increase GDP (Gross Domestic Product) resulting from the reduced number seniors in retirement.
With the aim of profit, it would change its market segment to large one and medium to low one. For another, the exogenous ones affect the endogenous ones. With the change from craft to standardized of technology,

Probably one of the most common is economic migration, as many people immigrate to another country looking for more income and better living standards. At present this type of migration typically occurs from less developed to more developed countries and in many cases, these immigrants enter or remain illegally in the country. We may want to emigrate for political persecution, ethnic or religious or to escape war or unstable political situations. In some cases immigration is associated with professions or jobs, such as religious missionaries, employees of multinational corporations or Foreign Service employees. In the case of scientists, is, in some cases, expected or even required, as part of his career studying or working in countries other than the country of origin.
Goldin and Katz state that getting a higher level in education versus those how do not, their salary income increase. Since there is a huge salary gap between the two, more people have been striving to earn higher degrees. Since people want to earn more money the number of people going to school has increase over the years. However, Goldin and Katz believe that more people should attend while Charles Murray thinks that too many people are attending and it should spaces should be limited. Murray states that he thinks students do not have the academic ability because “10 to 20 percent of a population has the mental potential to cope with twenty six-word sentences.”(Murray) He thinks having students take standardized test in order to see if they were ready for college material.
