Offer clean, warm water (in the range you are is OK, but maybe a little warmer) with as little stress as possible. 2. Try to relieve the eyes with eye drops, either commercial turtle eye drops, human eye drops, or a vitamin A oil dripped in the eyes. Apply to lubricate and cleanse daily. Keep the turtle out of the tank for about an hour. 3. Try to fight the infection with ONE good antibiotic treatment, either a turtle sulfa dip, or a fish medicine like 'stress coat'. Most fish...

...they did an autopsy on the whale to find out why it had washed up onto the shore they found its stomach was tightly packed with different kinds of plastics. Almost 200 square feet of plastic supermarket bags, food packages, bottles, and more was the cause of that whale’s death. Marine animals mistake plastic for food and they eat it, most do not have issues when it comes to eating it, but digesting it is the problem. Food needs to break down before it can be fully digested and these plastics will not break down causing it to fill up more and more until the creature dies. Turtles are one of the more common marine animals people are aware of that are greatly affected by plastics. When the turtles are babies they will get stuck in the plastic that holds a case of pop together. They will end up entangled in it as a baby and when they start to grow it ends up causing deformities to the turtles shell. The turtle will no longer be able to grow in the area the plastic is but everywhere else it will....

...Name: Institution: Course: Date: The role of violence in the world of Beowulf In the poem, Beowulf is an aging king who wears the identity of a warrior has different faces according to the situation at the moment. The poet describes Beowulf as “ greater/ and stronger than anyone anywhere in this world” implying that he was a strong man but still as any human being, he was mortal (Warsh et. al., 8). Violence in the poem is surfacing as a tool to venerate superiority. The poet explains Beowulf’s anxiety to battle Grendel but still exuding courtesy, diplomacy and patience. However, the battle that he craves for, is only possiblen after he gets permission from Hrothgar “Beowulf-anxious to meet with Hrothgar, from whom he hopes to receive permission to battle Grendel- is courteous, patient, and diplomatic”. This explanation also shows that violence is a measure of power and superiority but there are limits that a person is confined that makes them to give respect to people. In this case, Beowulf respects the boundary that he cannot fight Grendel until he gets permission from Hrothgar (Warsh et. al.,8). The aim of Beowulf wanting to battle Grendel could be a way of proving his heroism to gain prominence, amassing wealth or helping people. The poet writes“What does Beowulf want? Is he motivated to perform heroic acts simply by a need to help other people? Or is he interested mainly in accumulating as much wealth as possible?. It implies that Beowulf wants the battle to gain either...

...students, and hope that we will all fly like dragons this year, guys I am extremely surprised with the news that this year is going to see an exponential rise in the birthrate in Asian nations, typically, China and Vietnam for the belief that any child who comes in being in this special period is endowed with a lucky life. For years, dragon has been regarded a legendary animal and associated with power, activeness, superiority and other good traits. Hoping that their off-springs to have the same life as the dragons’, millions of young couples try their utmost to have babies and problems, however, remain that the population explosion might happen. According to several experts, this rage is likely to result in a gloomy picture, though. First of all, that people think children are born this year are lucky purely originates from the unfounded belief, without any empirical research. Second, as they grow up, ready to take the entrance exams and seeking for jobs, competition between babies of this year escalates ceaselessly. The higher unemployment rate on the horizon is imminent, let alone probably an increased crime rate and the shortage of housing. Perhaps, to people working in the real estate, this could be a positive signal, as a result of the fact that the demand for housing during that epoch is on the climb, pushing the price to the rocket and greatly benefiting them while their parents who dedicate their lives to buying houses for their dragon-year-born children are dissatisfied....

...Cruelty The prophet David from the Bible who spoke of false accusations people make, an angry dragon from Scandinavia whose fury could not be withheld, and a man who knows the brutality of human nature. Though all different situations, they share a common theme, cruelty. Cruelty in gossip, cruelty in temper, and cruelty in nature. Cruelty can be found in all types of literature even as old as the Bible. “Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up risen up against me, and such as breath out cruelty” (Psalms 27:12). This quote is asking God not to let us give into our enemies, and for us to not believe the brutality of people’s false accusations. The prophet David was the one who conveyed this quote. By speaking out about the cruelty of people he is indirectly saying that God is the only person you need to seek approval from. He is also saying that no one else’s words or savageness should matter. Though David’s message is centuries old, it proves that a verse, or phrase can contain the same significance even centuries later. Only decades later cruelty was still evident with World War II and the Nazis, and in modern day situations such as terrorism. Many other works of literature are also proof of this same idea. One example of a piece of literature that conveys cruelty well is the story of Beowulf. “And the signs of its anger flickered and glowed in the darkness, visible for miles tokens of its hate and its cruelty...

...The hyena stepped into the cavern first, his eyes naturally able to see well in the darkness. He stepped forward, bow ready as he was followed closely by a hulking figure, who held a glowing greatsword in one hand. Behind the figure stepped a small, thin man, leaning on a staff. The tip of his staff was giving off some light, each side of the dodecahedron glowing softly with a dim, blue glow. He walked behind them both, eyes straining to see what was ahead, when he bumped into the armor plate in front of him, who had stopped when given the signal by their companion in front. “Confound it wizard, either learn to watch where you’re going or Maude as my witness I’ll let the next alchemist we come across take your eyes for research.” The woman scolded him, turning to look at him. Lythus nodded and took a step back, removing his hood. “Apologies, Vilkora, I was taken at the appearance of this place. I’ve never been in such a cave before.” A gruff voice cut off Vilkora’s next words, as the hyena spoke. “Even when whispering, you humans do not understand how unbelievably noisy you are in here. Lythus, pay attention, Vilkora, at my side. We want to mask our presence.” Lythus fell silent and held his staff up so it didn’t touch the ground with each step they made, his hand rummaging through his pockets and rearranging the goods he had inside them. As they went on Gworal put up his hand, signaling them to stop, and crouch. They listened and did so, looking off into the darkness. Gworal...

...more diverse. Moreover, consumers also perceive HFT and HealthWorks provide health supplement goods and are trendier than HTT. Although Kung Wo To has only 10 stores in Hong Kong, consumers generally regard Kung Wo To is more traditional and products have more medical function than HTT. SWOT For the strengths, First, Hoi Tin Tong clarifies that the test of no turtle shell in its turtle jelly is not credible with the evidence that the Professor of the test withdraw his claim in 2015. After this, Hoi Tin Tong has proved their turtle jellies consist of turtle shell by a DNA test. This implies that Hoi Tin Tong was a victim and being targeted. Second, Hoi Tin Tong has not raised the price of the turtle jelly, this increase the favorability toward HTT of consumers. Also, HTT offers 30% off coupons which is sold in a set to customers. This raises the consumers’ consistency to eat HTT’s products as well as their loyalty. For the weaknesses, First, a series of defamation that have hurt the reputation of Hoi Tin Tong, for example, the test of no turtle shell in Hoi Tin Tong turtle jelly in 2013, a video about moldy turtle jelly in 2013. It results that many consumers are hesitated in eating HTT’s products....

Harry was sitting in his house pondering on all the things he had done with his life, when he added up all his achievements he was quite depressed. There was nothing interesting about Harry. So he decided he would like to parachute out of a plane. The next day Harry went to the nearest sky diving facility. Once he was 50,000 feet in the air he began to question what exactly he was doing and why he ever decided to do such a thing. Before he knew it the green light came on and he was pushed out of the plane and as he fell through the clouds he could see the ground below was covered with what appeared to be a huge rainforest. With nowhere to land Harry pulled the cord and got tangled in a tree. Turns out he actually landed in a forest that had unnaturally huge apple trees. One apple was roughly the size of a football and they looked quite juicy and tasty indeed. He went to take a bite but he fell from the tree. Harry forgot about his situation and the cords had snapped. He plummeted towards the ground and suddenly with a thump he landed on something hard. At first it seemed like a rock but as harry climbed down and looked more closely to find, to his astonishment it was a large turtle. Harry was rather frightened and took off running when he released what it was, he entered a valley which turned to a tunnel...
