The questions of how to improve the technological content of feed pig at each steps and conversion of fodder mainly consist in raising high quality pigs. In pig production 2 phases of production are recognized: (1) sow farms (breeding and rearing); and (2) fattening farms (growing and finishing).The steps in these two farms include mating, pregnancy, childbirth, lactating piglets, and fattening. Excellent breed accomplished through thorough breeding system which base on breeding, rearing and fattening farms. The ideal result of using this system is promotion productivity by transferring the genetic improvement results of the core group to commodity production with uniform breeding program. (Fishwick, 1965) Pig production patterns are diverse, space can be divided three categories in accordance with the activities of lactating sows which are intensive pig farming, semi- intensive pig farming and free range pig farming.

...As we all know, Francis Bacon, an important figure of the English Renaissance, is a well-known as a writer, and philosopher. Of Marriage and Single Life analyzes and compares marriage with single life in different aspects, such as characters, public service and personal qualities. The essay depicts the benefits and the drawbacks of life as a single male and a married male possibly with children. Bacon explains that marriage is good for the individual but also for society. He also states that wife and children are a liability and only take back from obtaining wealth. A single man believes that a man with wife and children, who are obstacles to both great courses and little trivial, is the slave of fortune. Bacon presents the merits and demerits of married life and single life in his essay, “Of Marriage and Single Life” According to the essay children are the bills of charges and will reduce their riches. And beyond that being single means that you are free, but having a wife and children are reasons you a man is shackled. However, a single life has some good aspects. “Unmarried men are best friends, best masters, and best servants. In this portion of the essay, Bacon boasts about the fact that a free man gives back to society in a sense. He states that when you don’t have children and a wife to look after you have more time to give back to your community. This is simple logic that expresses what kind of write Bacon was. He states that without the distraction of both wife...

...Volantis straddled one mouth of the Rhoyne where the river kissed the sea, its two halves joined by the Long Bridge. The oldest, richest part of the city was east of the river, but sellswords, barbarians, and other uncouth outlanders were not welcome there, so they must needs cross over to the west. The gateway to the Long Bridge was a black stone arch carved with sphinxes, manticores, dragons, and creatures stranger still. Beyond the arch stretched the great span that the Valyrians had built at the height of their glory, its fused stone roadway supported by massive piers. The road was just wide enough for two carts to pass abreast, so whenever a wagon headed west passed one going east, both had to slow to a crawl. It was well they were afoot. A third of the way out, a wagon laden with melons had gotten its wheels tangled with one piled high with silken carpets and brought all wheeled traffic to a halt. Much of the foot traffic had stopped as well, to watch the drivers curse and scream at one another, but the knight grabbed hold of Tyrion’s chain and bulled a path through the throng for both of them. In the middle of the press, a boy tried to reach into his purse, but a hard elbow put an end to that and spread the thief’s bloody nose across half his face. “Only one man in a thousand is born a skinchanger,” Lord Brynden said one day, after Bran had learned to fly, “and only one skinchanger in a thousand can be a greenseer.” “I thought the greenseers were the wizards...

...Variable or identifier is required to store data. One variable can store only one type of data. It can store only one value (data item) at a time. But, we can always change the value of the variable throughout the program without changing its data type. To store data (input, intermediate results, output), we need variables (or containers). To use variables in our program, we need to declare the variables: Variable declaration: 1. Choose the appropriate data type for the variable 2. Specify a legitimate and unique name for the variable. Naming rules for variables: 1. Must start with a letter or underscore( _ ) 2. Second and subsequent characters can be alpha numeric 3. Do not use any special characters or punctuation marks including space 4. Do not use any key words or reserved words for naming variables; Ex: String, integer, me, if, loop, else- you will see the key words in blue color. 5. Choose a name that reflects the content for the variable Examples: 1) A1 as the variable name: valid but does not reflect the content 2) 3TestScores - Not valid because it starts with a number midTermTestScore - camel casing convention is followed to name the variables. Capitalize the first letter of second and subsequent words in the variable's name. This is not syntax and the compiler does not give an error if camel casing is not followed.

Issues: * Increasing trend towards less fatty and salty meats that are more health conscious. * Increasing demand for easy to cook and quick meals that can satisfy the needs of working and busy moms. The report by McTieran corporation suggests that OM is not making a sufficient effort to offer healthier snack options as hot dogs and red meat products are becoming less popular. As suggested by the case the 5 year Annual Per Capita Pounds data of white and red meat. White meat has had an overall increase in sales of 33.73% in the past 5 years whereas red meat has decreased by (7.28%) Diagnosis: The decrease in red meat sales means that OM is having difficulties reaching its 4% annual growth rate target. McGraw must therefore decide how to reach this goal while addressing the loss of sales. Further complicating the issue is the other brand of Louis Rich white meats which has had increasing overall sales of 10.9% in the past year. However, as argued by McTieren the growth has slowed from the previous years where it was reaching growth rates of 13.4% and 14.2%. Suggestions: McGraw’s objective...

...Their intelligence allowed them to remain off the breakfast menu. One pig built a house with straw as he calculated the material to be the least inexpensive in nature. The second pig created his house with sticks formulating the idea that he could grow the material needed for the build. The third pig who was created just a tad bit more special constructed a house using Vanadium metal as its properties allow for higher thermal resistance and durability. Within the same lab those pigs were created in, a failed genetically enhanced wolf escaped. It was by fate that these pigs should encounter this wolf. When the first pig caught glimpse of the foul creature, he fled inside his straw house. The wolf cried, “Come out pig so I can turn you into bacon!” The wolf inhaled deeply and created a space like vacuum in his belly and exhaled a powerful wind blast towards the first pig’s house rendering it incapacitated. The first pig ran inside the second pig’s house. The wolf walked to the second pig’s house with a grimace expression and without hesitation hurled his grotesque acid based saliva at the second pig’s house. The pigs escaped to the third pig’s house as the first house was blown away and the second incinerated. Again, the wolf in rage launched a full scale attack blasting and spitting only to see the third pig’s house unscathed. The wolf exploited the third pig’s house and found a weak spot. He then ‘wind blasted’ his way through and upon leaping inside does he find himself in the...

...Selecting a preferred alternative In selecting a preferred alternative, many considerations need to be taken. First of all, the customers are the individuals who keep the company operating therefore customer trends are very important when making decisions. The new healthy trends demanding nutritious meat products are what need to drive Oscar Mayer into making decisions. By improving their product lines, they will not only satisfy consumer demand but encourage company growth, potential and profits in the long run. The preferred alternative would be to reinvigorate their meat products by working along with Turkey Time as suggested by Jane Morely. This is how they can introduce turkey bacon, turkey ham and other products which are low in calorie and very healthy for the customers who want to keep up with trends to not only eat healthy but stay healthy. This will then bring into the effect proposed company growth which will allow them to take their place in the market and improve their financial position. Recommendations After reading the case study and doing further research on Oscar Mayer there are many recommendations that would benefit the company. An important recommendation would be for them not the change their brand as it is widely recognized and popular in the American cold cut and meat market. Their brand has been in the market for years and incorporating a new brand would not have the same effect on customers since they already have trust and faithfulness to...

...Kimberly Bailo History Review Essay 1 Bacon's Rebellion Early in 1607, the English relocated to North America for promises of new beginnings, wealth, and religious freedom. The Virginia Company had funded the operation under a charter from King James 1 hoping for promising returns on their investment. The new colonists bright and hopeful settled in Jamestown, Virginia only to find nightmares instead of dreams. The conditions for the new colonists exploited a rising tension that would soon escalate into a famous revolt called Bacon's Rebellion. Jamestown was to be the new Promised Land for the English settlers. It was surrounded by water, which would provide protection and allow for mass trading due to the opportunity to install several ports. As such, the Virginia Company believed the expedition would be profitable and King James 1 saw an opportunity to convert the savages to Christian religion, which would make settling much easier since the heathens would be no more. Many of the settlers were not accustom to getting their hands dirty and came only to find gold and wealth quickly and easily. The tobacco industry became Jamestown's wealth, which required many hard working laborers. They were called indentured servants and promised land after seven years of hard work. In addition, many of the new colonists succumbed to malaria, dysentery, and unbearable working conditions. The women were subjected to sexual abuse along with harsh emotional and...
