...But when it comes to being serious the left side of the brain is the typical choice. Search Story: I chose this topic because it relates to my project which is training two horses. I feel as if I can learn how horse's vs. a human's brain work then the training process will be a lot easier, or even just learning the similarities in human and animal or horse brains could be helpful. I also believe that by learning more about horses like their brains, how they react, and what makes them react then that can and will better my education of animal science and vet medicine while helping me in becoming a veterinarian in the near future. I also thought that since I have a strong love for animals i'd be fun to do something animal related. My expectations while doing this research paper is to learn about the brain of both humans and mainly horses, but also a selective few of other animals or animals in general, the differences between their brains, if there are any to begin with. The similarities of the horses/animals and also the human brain, as well as uniqueness of the brain. I'd like to know the importances of the brain. But I simply just expect to figure out basically anything to do with human brains as well as animal brains and more in depth with horses brains. Research: The human brains are similar with animal brains because they are said to be “...highly specialized with respect to left and right halves”(Hamilton, n.d). As explained...

...Abstract This paper discusses the sensitive and controversial topic of horse slaughter for human consumption and zoo animals, although, currently banned in the United States due to key legislative acts in 2006-2007. The argument addressed will touch on the advantages, and disadvantages of lifting the horse slaughter ban in the U.S. The advantages include but are not limited to, horse welfare, economic revenue and profit, and restoration of the failing horse market. Disadvantages are, again, welfare depending on how you view the topic, as well as drug and medication regulation due to the fact that horses are not raised specifically for their meat products. Introduction Horses have been used for numerous activities, duties, and jobs over thousands of years. These uses in early years range from field work like plowing, to transportation, as well as aiding and assisting during war. As civilization became more advanced, horses were needed less and less for utility. Horsemanship slowly converted into more of an art form with the purpose of enhancing the horse’s strength and beauty (Mutsune, 2012). In the modern world of 2015, horses are purchased as equine athletes for many different horse events such as showing, racing, or rodeo to name a few in general. Most of the time, these animals are being used for recreational hobbies or pure enjoyment, as economic profit in the horse industry is rare. Most equine businesses struggle to operate due to the current economy. Horses can live...

... Horseback riding or just horse riding is the skill of driving, riding, vaulting or steeple-chasing with horses. Since time immemorial, horse riding (also referred to as equestrianism) has been an important aspect of human culture. In the last centuries, it was done mostly for utilitarian purposes such as work, warfare and transportation. In the present, horse riding is most commonly for recreational activities. Many people who like riding horses do it either for fun or for competition purposes (Kate 24). About 30 million people in America ride horses every year. However, there are approximately 2500 cases of riders who are below the age of 25 years being admitted to hospitals every year due to cases of horse riding injuries (Michael 201). A good number of these injuries are those related to head and brain. The risk of injuries in horseback riding is significantly greater than in bicycle riding. They occur because some of the activities like jumping are very risky since horses can be as heavy as 1500 pounds, move as fast as 30 miles per hour, and can stand as tall as 3 meters. Most of these injuries result when the horse falls off, or the horse rider is thrown forward and lands on his/her head or striking their heads on a nearby object like poles. Some of the factors which may increase the chances of falling and causing injuries to the riders are like slippery footing, bareback riding or green horse, and the height from which the horse rider falls will determine how severe...

Both my Mother and Father’s side of the family have a rich history that has been fairly documented through physical and oral tradition. In this paper, I hope to fit in what I can about both sides of my family. Starting with my Father’s side of the family, the Bloomberg’s come from Stockholm, Sweden. My Great-Great-Great Grandfather John Bloomberg immigrated to the United States in the late 1890’s and had their name changed to Blomberg; oddly enough most other Bloomberg's who immigrated to the United States kept their last name the same. He also immigrated with his brother, although not much is known about him. After his brother moved to America, he made his way down to Brazil...

...System Administrators are the ones responsible for ensuring computers work in the business world. Along with that responsibility, comes the accountability when the operating systems (OS) fail to meet business needs. Maintaining the security of e-commerce and business processes is a major concern for system administrators. Protecting the operating systems is the main component when it comes to shielding all the information systems. The software scripts of the OS are what enable network devices, servers and desktops to communicate as a whole. OS is the glue that keeps all the files, hardware, and software together. The OS role includes managing files, processing controls of computer programs, and serving as GUI between the computer and user. With all the responsibility an OS is bound to have weaknesses. Typically, security vulnerabilities are usually rooted from glitches/bugs in the scripts that run beneath the OS. The most commonly used OS are Unix, Mac OS, and Microsoft Windows. With Windows being the leading OS, security patches have to be downloaded constantly. With out identifying a specific OS, there are advantages and disadvantages that can be implemented to protect the OS. Advantages of Securing OS Mitigating internal security threats is a common practice that should have a plan of action to protect business systems as a whole. Securing the physical hardware; servers, consoles routers etc. is essential. The actual system it self should be physically protected and authorized...

...Name: Tutor: Course: College: Date: Animals in Biomedical Research From history, man depends on animals for survival, either as mode of transport or source of food. However, animals are used for many other purposes in the current world. Scientists are using animals for experimenting and testing drugs that prescribed to cure many diseases, for instance, HIV/AIDS. For many years, animals’ experiments have been used to discover new ailments and the drugs that could cure them. However, there are so many organizations that are trying to fight for animal rights by preventing animal experiments. Stopping the use of animals for scientific research can hinder progress in new findings and discoveries in the health sector. Animals have been used for scientific research because their body functions are almost similar to that of human beings. Human suffering should be drastically reduced as a first priority by ensuring that the humans don’t die because simple and treatable diseases. Animal suffering and death should come as a second priority after taking care of humans needs. Scientists should be able to use animals for research to prevent any possible deaths in human beings. Disease like tumors can be experimented and tested on animals and not on man to avoid suffering of human beings. Health of human beings has advanced due research carried out on animals. Major killers like diabetes heart attack and cancer have been treated well due to improved medicine. Some diseases mostly...
