...Rainforest Animal Survival Methods Creatures of the rainforest have lived for a long time, and with this comes survival methods developed overtime as well. The tropical rainforest is known for many different creatures, but some are not known for their remarkable talents. These creatures with remarkable survival adaptations are: plants, ants, frogs, bats, and some snake species. The species listed can play a major role in keeping the order in a rainforest with their abilities. Though life in the rainforest may seem hard, plants, insects, frogs, bats, and snakes have found complex survival methods. Apart from other species of animal, plants have found ways to outsmart other creatures of the rainforest. An orchid can have a “slippery...

Presented by Donnette Russell Marketing Plan Table of Contents Executive Summary 3 The Challenge 3 Situation Analysis 4 Market Segment 4 Alternative Marketing Strategies 4 Selected Marketing Strategy 4 Short and Long Term Projections 4 Conclusion 4 Executive Summary Optical Distortion, Inc. was incorporated in 1966, after an innovator by the name of Daniel Garrison stumbled upon an opportunity to enhance the output of common chicken egg production by inserting a form of contact lens that would blur, or distort the vision of the producing bird just enough to maintain optimal production while making the handling of these creatures easier. Based upon observations of a flock of chickens in Arizona which were afflicted with cataracts and separated from the remaining flock, it was noted that not only did these birds consume less food while retaining the same level of production as the remaining flock, but the ease to which handling the birds increased to the point that instead of curing the afflicted birds, the farmer requested to have his remaining flock “infected” with the same visual distortion. Through trial and error, ODI was ready for implementation of the lenses by 1973 with high hoped and great expectations. The Challenge As with any new product, multiple challenges arise throughout the creation and development process, which include, but are not limited to the product itself - insuring...

...Chapter I Summary As the novella opens, Mr. Jones, the proprietor and overseer of the Manor Farm, has just stumbled drunkenly to bed after forgetting to secure his farm buildings properly. As soon as his bedroom light goes out, all of the farm animals except Moses, Mr. Jones’s tame raven, convene in the big barn to hear a speech by Old Major, a prize boar and pillar of the animal community. Sensing that his long life is about to come to an end, Major wishes to impart to the rest of the farm animals a distillation of the wisdom that he has acquired during his lifetime. As the animals listen raptly, Old Major delivers up the fruits of his years of quiet contemplation in his stall. The plain truth, he says, is that the lives of his fellow animals are “miserable, laborious, and short.” Animals are born into the world as slaves, worked incessantly from the time they can walk, fed only enough to keep breath in their bodies, and then slaughtered mercilessly when they are no longer useful. He notes that the land upon which the animals live possesses enough resources to support many times the present population in luxury; there is no natural reason for the animals’ poverty and misery. Major blames the animals’ suffering solely on their human oppressors. Mr. Jones and his ilk have been exploiting animals for ages, Major says, taking all of the products of their labor—eggs, milk, dung, foals—for themselves and producing nothing of value to offer the animals in return. Old Major relates...

...Running Head: EMPATHY AND SOCIAL LEARNING Developing Empathy: Nurturing Through Social Learning Abstract This paper explores the Social Learning Theory and how prosocial behavior, specifically empathy, is cultured through observation, modeling and imitation. Empathy is defined through a review of Bandura’s Bobo Doll experiment, Jeremy Sloan’s article on developing empathy and the impact it has on animals in our world, and an assessment of empathy in future criminal justice professionals. All provide evidence and data to support the finding that adults have lasting influence on children and how ones behavior is formed. Empathy is a vital trait and it’s a primary requisite for successfully managing daily experiences. Key words: Empathy, Modeling, Social Learning, and Development Introduction The development of empathy allows us the innate ability to relate to another’s experiences, motives and feelings. It is the foundation of compassion and caring, and is monumental in many of life’s challenges and successes. It is what allows us to learn from others and become responsible, caring adults. Many significant professions require empathy: medical care, fire rescue, education, criminal justice, and most importantly parenting. Tragic events such as slavery and the Holocaust illuminate the significance of empathy, it’s part in humankind’s wellbeing, and how requisite it is to encourage healthy development of the trait (Sajo, 2011). It is therefore of utmost...

...Ethical Treatment of Animals Amber Marie Keldie Soc120 Dr. Monica Jones. September 30th 2012 Ethical Issue Analysis for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Summary: Of all the agricultural land in the US, 87% is used to raise animals for food. These animals are fed more than 80 percent of the corn and 95 percent of the oats the US produces. Meat animals of the world alone consume food equal to caloric needs of 9 billion people- more than the entire human population on earth. It takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce a pound of meat, but only 25 gallons to produce a pound of wheat. A vegetarian food will make ten times as many humans happier than a non-vegetarian one, not counting the happiness gained by animals. Meat eating results in a lot of wastage of food that would otherwise have fed many more people. Ethical Issues Analysis I believe in the ethical treatment for all animals are an ethical obligation by all humans. We have come to an era that we believe that all humans should be treated equally and fairly. Well, what about our other living, breathing counterparts? They deserve to live their life as they choose in quality and in the pursuit of happiness. Just as Europeans came and took over Northern America's land and resources on the Indians. We have also taken over the land and resources from all of the animals. The moral point of view in the killing of animals for food as an indulgence which is not a necessity for our diet is killing another living being...

The question was answered with racial intelligence differences and environmental differences. He also talks about survival of the fittest. He says that intelligence is closely linked to human and cultural survival. All of these questions would be answered by the end of the book. Part One: - From Eden to Cajamarca Chapter 1. Up to the Starting Line Evolution is explained, relating us and our “ancestors” of many centuries ago. Primates such as gorillas are said to be our closest relatives. Africa presides as the homeland for all species. Neanderthals have always been viewed as mindless, mentally deranged creatures. Fifty years ago, The Great Leap Forward was like a big advancement in technology. Hominids also began to spread across New Guinea and Australia. The larger animals that failed to attain protection qualities against other predators during evolution died out and became extinct. Eurasia also occured. It became the more advanced between them and Africa, although Africa started out on top. Chapter 2. A Natural Experiment of History The Maori and Moriori descended from Polynesians,...

Caroola farm is a permaculture based farm that uses organic methods of farming to develop and maintain sustainable practises. Since the bushfire(s) a couple years ago, in which pasture and fences were destroyed, Caroola Farm has come a long way in restoring and rehabilitating the land so that it can be used for agricultural purposes, through the use of sustainable practises. At the Home Farm, the emphasis in rehabilitation work is their specific focus on rehydrating the landscape through sustainable practises. This land is then used by Mulloon Institute to further research which methods are the most effective. 2.0 Background Land is Australia’s greatest asset, though increasing human activity is resulting in soil loss at a greater rate than nature’s ability to replace it. This process is known as land degradation, which refers to the decline in quality of...

...the attachment figure and seek reassurance that they are there (Brody &Dwyer, 2002). These attachments behaviours can also be seen in older people who have an attachment. Adults have more sophisticated ways of maintaining proximity such as sending text messages and the underlying need to stay in touch is still the same. Attachments are formed in human and in many species of animals such as sheep and ducks, attachments are formed rapidly soon after birth. This process was first investigated by Konrad Lorenz. In his observation of animals, Lorenz noticed the tendency for new born, orphaned animals to form an attachment to any animal that happened to be present and to follow it as if it were their real mother. This can often be seen on farms where orphaned lambs will attach themselves to the person who bottle feeds them and follow them happily around until they are very large sheep. Lorenz called this formation of rapid attachment imprinting (Bailey et al, 2008). The biologically programmed innate behaviour of imprinted geese occurs only during critical period soon after birth. Researchers refer to a sensitive period when attachment occurs most easily, but it is...

...Harry Opfar Research Essay Viability of Marine Biology as a Major When deciding on a major for my college education, I had to find a field both in demand and it had to be a field I would like to spend the rest of my life in. I have always had a love of the animals in sea and several years ago had an opportunity to go to Sea World in San Diego. Recalling this trip and the recollection of seeing the dolphins and whales perform actually helped me make the decision to pursue a career in Marine Biology as a marine biologist. That brought me to the essence of this essay. How much education is required and does the marine biology field offer ample job opportunities and is there plenty of growth for future jobs? Also need to look at where those jobs are available, where I might have to move to. So I will first look at the education needed and the marine biology programs. I will then evaluate the job market now and in the future of this niche field. I will also exam the pay within this field and find out how the pay is derived as my research has shown that much of the money in this field of study originates different sources than a regular paycheck. There are several aspects to getting an education in marine biology. One need to look at the classes required and what schools are available, as well as where the best schools are located. A person majoring in the marine biology field needs to plan on taking many different types of animal biology and physiology classes. ...

...Chapter 8: Renewable Energy Sources The Sustainability Revolution John C. Ayers "In a sense, the fossil fuels are a one-time gift that lifted us up from subsistence agriculture and should eventually lead us to a future based on renewable resources." Kenneth Deffeyes (2001) "I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that." — Thomas Edison, 1931 We cannot create or destroy energy. We can only capture it. The sun provides either directly or indirectly nearly all of the energy available to us. Plants capture solar energy directly through photosynthesis. Fossil fuels contain the energy of sunlight captured hundreds of millions of years ago. Photovoltaic (PV) cells also capture sunlight energy directly. Other energy sources capture the energy of sunlight indirectly. Heat from the sun powers the flowing air and water. We usually capture the kinetic energy of wind and water by using turbines that transfer the energy to an alternator, an electrical generator that produces alternating current. Geothermal energy is different in that it captures flowing heat energy produced by radioactive decay in the earth’s interior. In this chapter we will see that Wind, Water, and Sun (WWS) energy sources are sustainable because they are renewable, clean, safe, and nearly carbon-free. Although they have low energy densities, meaning that they require large areas of land or water to produce energy...

...Ozone is a gas found in the upper atmosphere and at ground level of the Earth’s surface. Ozone will mainly be found in two regions of the Earth’s atmosphere closer to our Earth. About 10% of Ozone is found in the region that starts from ground level of the earth known as the troposphere. According to scientific research findings this region of the earth’s atmosphere (troposphere) contains ozone that could be either good or bad depending on how closer it is to the surface of the Earth. The principle of ozone to nearer earth is that ozone is ‘’good up high’’ and ‘’bad nearby’’. Most of the ozone, that is, about 90% is found in the next atmosphere called stratosphere which starts about 10 and 17 kilometres above the Earth’s surface and extending up to about 50 kilometres. Generally Ozone gas is beneficial to human and other life on earth. It is ‘’chemically reactive oxidizing agent that is used as an air purifier, a water steriliser, and a bleaching agent’’. The Ozone in the stratosphere region forms what is known as the Ozone layer. Chemically ozone gas with a formula (O3) is formed from molecular oxygen (O2) in the stratosphere at an attitude of about 25km by the action of ultraviolet frequency photons .The formula O3 for ozone gas means the ‘’ozone molecules consists of three actions of oxygen arranged in the shape of wide V’’ .Scientific research also indicate that the ‘’name ozone is derived from the Greek word ozein, which means to smell or reek’’.
