...Pride goes before a fall This proverb is coined from the well known story entitled, “The Hare and die Tortoise,” from Aesop’s fables. We all remember having read it during our kindergarten days. The hare always quick on his feet challenged a tortoise to a running race! The tortoise who knew that, being a slow animal he was no match for the hare. Yet he accepted the challenge. On the day of the race all the animals assembled at one place and die race commenced. Alas! Like a lightning the hare sprinted across and disappeared from sight. But poor tortoise walked slowly, as usual. The haughty hare, which had gone too far away, paused under a tree. He knew that it would take a long time for the tortoise to reach him. So he stretched and slept. How long he slept, he never knew. Meanwhile, the tortoise came there, saw the hare sleeping and went ahead quietly and reached die winning post, giving a crushing defeat to the hare! This was a lesson not only to die hare, but to everyone who feels too proud and underestimates the others. No matter whatever one’s capacity is, one should not feel proud of it. To cite another example, we have all seen the English movie, ‘Titanic.’ One of the main reasons that the ship sank was the overconfidence of the captain and the ship’s crew. They underestimated what harm an iceberg could do to such a mighty ship of theirs. Hence, the overconfidence broke the ship and sank it, drowning many hundreds of passengers. People say that even a watch that stopped...

...Paleontological History of Camel Submitted to: Anirban Sarker Assistant professor Dept. of Zoology Jagannath University, Dhaka Submitted by: Md.Imran-Al-Fahad Roll no: 117435 3rd year 1st semester 6th Batch Dept. of Zoology Date of Submission: 5th May, 2014 PALEONTOLOGICAL HISTORY OF CAMEL Paleontology or palaeontology is the scientific study of prehistoric life. It includes the study of fossils to determine organisms' evolution and interact- tions with each other and their environments. Paleontology lies on the boundary between biology and geology since paleontology focuses on the record of past life but its main source of evidence is fossils which are found in rocks. Paleontological history of camel denotes the evolutionary history of camel. A camel is an even-toed ungulate within the genus Camelus, bearing dist- inctive fatty deposits known as "The humps" on its back. The two surviving species of camel are the dromedary, or one-humped camel (C.dormearius) which inhabits the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, and the bactrian, or two-humped camel(C. bactrianus)which inhabits Asia. Camels are included in family...

The advent of camel milk can already be seen in various countries. The European Union has allowed the import of camel milk and in various countries in the Middle East; it is already a booming trade. Along with the benefits, there is a dire need for introducing camel milk to the masses as the camel population in India is dwindling in the recent years. (Leiby, Langevine, 2013) Benefits of camel milk: The benefits of camel milk include overcoming various mental health conditions such as diabetes mellitus, cancer, food allergy, autism, viral hepatitis and a host of other viral, bacterial and parasitic infections. (Gader,Galil, 2015) The awareness of these medicinal properties have been tested in our study and have been used to determine the effect of knowledge of these benefits in willingness to purchase camel milk and pay higher prices for it as compared to individuals unaware of the benefits. Reason behind high pricing of camel milk: Camel milk, though a new concept in India, was consumed in the Middle East over thousands of years (Gidson, 2015). The paper...

Secondly, they used statistic from World Health Organization (WHO). They pointed out that over 3 million were killed by consuming tobacco products in 1990 and the death rate increased to 4.023 million by 1998. A figure of 8.4 million deaths was expected to reach in 2020 and 10 million in 2030. Their third argument was their accusation toward tobacco industry. They mentioned that these tobacco industries were aiming to increase their consumer market growth by luring the children and adolescent to smoke. They supported their argument by using the case of Camel cigarettes. RJ Reynolds...

Since the first case identified in 2012, there have been new cases yearly in Oman, Republic of Korea (2015), United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Saudi Arabia (2012), the Philippines (2014), United Kingdom (2015), Kenya (2016), Kuwait, Qatar, China, Iran, Germany(2014), Turkey and Austria (2014) and two isolated cases in the United States (2014). (“MERS CoV Outbreak,” n.d.). MERS CoV Route of Transmission Based on several studies, the MERS CoV has been traced to Dromedary Camels. One study revealed extremely high titer levels of neutralizing antibodies to MERS CoV in the blood serum of the camels. Further studies show MERS CoV isolated from nasal swabs from camels. It is unclear exactly how the virus is transmitted from camels to humans but the World Health Organization has warned against touching or direct contact with camels, avoiding drinking camel milk or camel urine and only eating fully cooked camel meat. It is also advised that people who are in...

...Its more a ethical concern than tactical/operational one RJR can ensure marketing is more directed towards existing customers than new customers; through targeted 1-on-1 marketing Opposing restrictions on cigarette ads are those who agree that society has a right to restrict freedom of expression when the exercise of this freedom causes harm to others. But, they argue, while cigarettes themselves may be harmful, cigarette advertising is not. First, contrary to the critics' claims, ads for cigarettes do not cause people to smoke, just as ads for soap don't cause people to bathe. People take up smoking for a variety of reasons. For teenagers, it's often peer pressure or imitating adults that factor in as the principal reason. In one five nation study, only 1% of the seven to fifteen-year-olds interviewed mentioned advertising as the most important reason they started smoking. At most, cigarette ads function to persuade people who already smoke to switch brands. Second, the charge that cigarette ads intentionally deceive consumers is unjustified. The images portrayed in cigarette ads are realistic ones. There are, in fact, skiers, tennis players and aerobic dancers who smoke. Furthermore, how can cigarette ads be accused of hiding the truth with the Surgeon General's warning prominently stamped across each and every ad? Nor can cigarette ads be banned on the grounds that they manipulate consumers. The tobacco industry's advertising ploys are no different from any other...

...Camel with a light load This is a sancai ceramic camel produced around late Tang dynasty. It dates back to first half of eight century. It was made of earthenware with three-color lead glaze. It has glazed brown hairs and white body. The green color decorated the big-nose human mask and cushions on its back. Although there are clear separations of colors, we can see some running colors on the face and under the exotic mask. The camel has its head raised up and mouth opened as if the camel was giving voices. This sancai camel is kept in Idemitsu bijutsukan in Tokyo now. Sancai The most obvious character of this sancai camel is its colorful glazes. The yellow, brown and green colors combined together give us a vivid camel figure. Tang sancai was a very popular kind of ceramic in Tang dynasty. It made from white clay or yellowish losessic clay. Although Sancai means three-colored, the actual Tang sancai objects have more than three colors, such as blue or black. People always give Tang sancai a high value because multi-colored lead-glazed objects were not usual in Chinese tradition before Tang dynasty. Although about 1400 years ago in the Northern and Southern dynasty, the kind of handmade glazed wares were already created, it was not until Tang dynasty, the production and technology of colorful glazed wares reached their peaks. From the contemporary ceramic history point of view, the tang sancai is a milestone because sancai was the first time that more than three colors appeared...

...express ways towards accomplishing an understanding of life around us. The difference between the two is the journey towards finding ourselves. Both Nietzsche and Plato highlight important factors and way to towards enlightenment and a better self. In the Three Metamorphoses, Nietzsche describes the first phase as a camel. In this phase, we as humans are ready to prove ourselves. We bring on the heaviest and hardest ideas that we can comprehend. We try to understand everything around us and take it all on. In this phase, we are trying to find ourselves, we seek out and absorb as much as we can. Humans test the waters of different ideas in an effort to mold ourselves in a way that we deem worthy. This is a time in our lives where we The second phase Nietzsche speaks about is when the camel becomes a lion. Here, we realize what is important to us as individuals. We become lions and strike out ideas that we do not see fit. Whatever we took on as camels, we now reflect back and weed out certain things that aren’t truths to us. As we grow older and experience in our lives has granted us wisdom, we realize how naïve we have been when we were camels. We then become this predator and seek out ideas that we accepted as a sponge that absorbed as much as possible and weed out certain things that our wiser form recognize as foolish. This period represents a time in which we find ourselves, there is much introspection and realization that occurs. The third phase is described...

...There was a segment on HBO sports about camel racing. Although this is a popular sport in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), there is a little problem. The jockeys riding the camels are little boys under the ages of 12 when the law states that they have to be above the age of 15. Children are bought, sold, and kept as slaves and also used as camel jockeys. Photography is not permitted at the events and the boys wear jockey suits. When not on the track they train in 100 degree heat. Their day is not filled with education at all. Instead, they wake at 3 am and are beaten. They are kept in prison camps. These camps have no electricity and are surrounded by barbed wire. In the camps, the boys have masters and are starved if they get to close to 50 pounds in weight. Sometimes these boys are raped or tied up to chains either for pleasure or discipline. The ruling families are in charge and the sheiks are the slave traders. Sheik Muhammad loves camel racing and spends millions on the sport. The camels eat and live better than the boys. The camels are even worth more and get the best equipment to train with. All the boys are from Pakistan or Bangladesh. Every one of them wants to leave because of the way they are treated. Nobody wants this life and although camel racing is a national sport in the UAE, human trafficking is a violation of the little children’s human rights. There is one reporter named Bernie that decided to do something to help against child slavery. This man has seen the...

...Solutions 1. A naming convention is important when working with databases in order to provide a clear structure and format; especially in team environments. By using these conventions the database can be understood by anyone applying these conventions; thus increasing maintainability. These are not rules but guidelines that can be adapted to any working environment. All names should be in camelcase with the first letter in lower case. Separate name parts by using camel case and NOT underscores or spaces. This provides better readability and you will not have to use quotes when doing SQL statements. Prefixes or namespaces are the ONLY parts of names that should be separated by underscores. This defines a clear separation between names and areas. Do not use numbers in names. This is poor design, indicating divided table structures. Do not use dot (.) separator between names, remember use camel casing. This way you will avoid problems when doing SQL statements as fields are accessed using dot notation. It goes without saying, do not use reserved database words in any name. Always try to use names that make sense and are descriptive of their purpose. Avoid abbreviations whenever possible. ONLY use abbreviations that are well known and documented. Avoid acronyms whenever possible. Only use acronyms that are well known and documented. Also, they should all be in uppercase if used. Tables are usually entity you are modeling for persistence. So make sure the names are in proper English and...

...AFRICAN CHRISTIAN APOSTOLIC REVELATION OF MARRIAGE Many abuses, especially of women and children, happen under foreign practices which are falsely labeled African traditions, arts and culture, interestingly such classifications are made by non-Africans or Africans who Steve Biko said have “colonized minds”. When God send many foreign missionaries to Africa, in His grace to teach them, they generally see things differently. Many of them believe that they are bringing the Gospel to Africa, and do not, if not refuse, to see what is truly the position, to wit, that the Gospel is bringing them to Africa, mainly in God’s quest to teach them that the world is bigger and offer more than what they know. Because of the teachings sometimes, some Christians who are Africans tend to seek to undermine their practices and culture, as if accepting Jesus as one’s personal Lord and Saviour has as its pre-condition a denial of being an African. We were created Africans. It is God’s choice. We must live with it, and others must accept us as we are. It is the practice, custom and culture of marriage, as practiced by Africans, that is our discussion today. This discussion seeks to show that our practices are not foreign to Godly practices or Christian belief. A step by step exposition with Biblical references show that our traditional marriages have similarities with the Jewish traditions of old as recorded in the Bible. None of them stands in contra-distinction to the teachings of...

...another party that can be involve in the argument the “third party”. Ury’s views of negotiation can be apply into daily life by using the “going to the balcony” theory, rethink and reframe your options in hand, thinking about others point of view. William Ury began his speech by telling the story of a Middle Eastern man that willed his three sons seventeen camels. The sons were to split the camels accordingly, the first son was to get one half of the camels, the second son was to get one third of the camels and the last the third son was to get one ninth of the camels. Since the seventeen camels could not be split evenly, the three sons went to ask an elderly lady for advice, but she was unable to help them. The elderly lady decided to give them one of her camels, now the three sons had eighteen camels. They split the camels accordingly the first son got nine camels, the second son got six and the youngest got two camels. They then had one camel leaf-over they decided to give it back to the old lady. If the brothers from the beginning had solve that problem they wouldn’t had needed to go to the lady and lake her camel. The second story was about how the South Africa tribe of the San Bushmen resolve their problems. The San Bushmen are known for their hunting and own arrows with poison tips.
