...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...

...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...

...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...

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...

(“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...

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 supported their argument by using the case of Camel cigarettes. RJ Reynolds...

...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...

...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...

Brand Asset ValuatorYoung & Rubicam’s BrandAsset Valuator(BAV®) model Tool Kit Abstract “A product is something made in a factory; a brand is something that is bought by a customer. A product can be copied by a competitor; a brand is unique. A product can be quickly outdated; a successful brand is timeless.” Stephen King (WPP Group, London) The main objective of this study is to measure the brand equity of a product, with the help of a Brand Asset Valuator. Successful Brand-Building today is the fact that: "A World of Brands" even more than it is a competition within categories. Consumers find it not only possible, but desirable, to select among all meaningful options. Brands without meaning" will behave like commodities and be limited to commodity-like pricing, where price is determined not by the owner of the brand, but by every other producer in the category.

A case study Andreas Stenius Banking supervision has been increasingly concerned due to significant loan losses and bank failures from the 1980s till now. In the light of the banking crisis in recent years worldwide, CAMEL is a useful tool to examine the safety and soundness of banks, and help mitigate the potential risks which may lead to bank failures. The research has been conducted as a case study of American International Assurance Vietnam (AIA). It aims to determine whether the CAMEL framework plays a crucial role in banking supervision. Furthermore, the purpose is to identify the benefits as well as drawbacks which the CAMEL system brings to AIA. The research problem was explored by quantitatively analyzing a bank’s overall performance. The paper firstly starts to collect theory relevant to the empirical research, and then draws conclusions from the findings by relating them back to the literature stated in the early stage. Although this study is based on collected data and numerical figures, it is a qualitative study. The findings revealed that CAMEL rating system is a useful supervisory tool in the U.S. CAMEL analysis...

...Sarah Montalvo Latin American Liberation Theology 10/8/13 Initially when I read both parables The Camel-saying and The Last Will Be First I interpreted the text (out of context ) thinking to myself that the Bible was speaking of social reversals once in heaven. The verse goes "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" (Mk. 10-25). Before analyzing the euphemism behind the "eye of a needle", I misinterpreted the symbolism and understood the verse as if it was intentionally saying the rich are not allowed into the kingdom of heaven. Important facts about the verse that are not mentioned straight in the Bible are that the "eye of the needle" is a gate way in Jerusalem where travelers would have to walk through. In order for people to go through the "eye of the needle" with all their baggage, they would have to get rid of or take off their baggage to be able to walk through. Even now that the verse makes more sense, it is confusing to some why God would ask us to get rid of our wealth/belongings. The verse as a whole was originally not intended directly to the rich (as I later found out), but rather everyone who is too concerned with power. That could be anything from their ego, their wealth, or anything holding them back from living a life for Christ and not for this world. So the parable is showing that in order to be set apart from this world it is necessary for Christians (people who want to follow...
