65 Questions 65-69

Money is an international commodity that moves across continents almost as fast as moves across the street One of the things that lures money across international borders is the rate of interest If interest rates are higher abroad than at home, American businesses and investors will move their money out the the USA and into countries with higher

interest rates When domestic interest rates are higher, the flow of

money will reverse

These international money flows are another constraint on monetary policy Suppose the federal government wants to slow the economy by limiting money-supply growth Such tight-money policies will tend to raise interest rates in the USA A higher interest rate is supposed to curb domestic investment and consumer spending But those higher U.S interest rates will also be an attraction to foreign money People holding dollars abroad will want to move more money to teh United States, where it can earn higher interest rates Foreigners will also want to exchange cheir currencies for dollars, again in order to earn higher interest rates

As international money flows into the United States, the money supply will expand more quickly than the government desired This will

frustrate the government's policy objectives and may force it to increase the international value of the dollar, making it more difficult to sell U.S exports In sum, the internationalization of money is one more problem the federal government has to worry about when it conducst monetary policy

70 Questions 70-74:

The world above the forest floor can be observed by all of us Rarely, however, do we take the time to notice the teeming life and bustling activity that occurs beneath the ground we walk on

Of all soil-dwelling creatures, the most abundant are mites and

springtails, insect-like creatures that literally eat their way through caverns of subterranean vegetation The tiny, eight-legged mites lay their eggs on plant matter, which their larvae eat and convert into fresh soil The bright-colored springtails are named for their ability to leap long distances during their search for decomposed plant matter to eat

Both mites and springtails are prey to a host of soil-dwelling predators They thus anchor one end of the food chain that extends to higher forms

of forest "lowlife", such as moles that feed on earthworjms and shrews that eat beetles

Those mammals, in turn, dig tunnels that function as underground byways for other subterranean species Hibernating chipmunks, turtles, and salamanders sift and mix the soil when they burrow to winter dens Cottontails and gray foxes excavate shallow dens as sanctuary from predators and harsh weather, while gray squirrels, hiding acorns for the lean season, further blend the earth From microbe to people, thousands

of species work the land upon which all life depends

Here you can see birds of prey from many parts of the world including hawks, falcons, owls, eagles, vultures and kites Owls vary enormously in size - from the dimunitive Scops Owl to the great Eagle Owl of the

Scandinavian forests The huge grotesque vultures contrast strangely with the grace and elegance of the falcons

Using old falconry methods to train our birds, hawks, falcons and eagles are flown free at intervals daily - and this really is a unique opportunity

to appreciate the beauty and splendour of the bird in flight

At these demonstration times you have the opportunity to hold a bird of prey and to take photographs If you would like to learn a little more about birds of prey, then our staff will be only too pleased to teach and pass on their enthusiasm and experience, as we believe education is the cornerstone of conservation

Try to come on a fine dry afternoon to make the best of your visit as our birds will not fly in wet weather Weather permitting, flying

demonstrations are usually given at 12 noon, 2pm, 3 pm, and 4 pm The Conservancy offers educational facilities to schools and youth

organizations at no extra charge on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each wek during term time This includes a short introductory lecture and questionnaire for the children to complete , n addition to a full educational flying demonstration To take advantage of these

facilities, all parties must book at least sevens prior to the intended visit Reduced rates for parties of twenty or over are available upon
