...Research Paper: Destruction of Birds by Windmills Birds are likely to be affected and/or destroyed by windmills, this is a natural part of life. The basic cycle is, wind developments tend to be placed in upland areas with strong wind currents that have a lot of potential to generate energy. Birds use these currents as highways, so they are likely to come into contact with the windmills (aka turbines). Windmills pose one the highest risks in the world of killing birds. Research also indicates that wind developments can disrupt migration routes; while bird's foraging and nesting habitat are at risk of being lost when turbines are put up. Windmills don't affect all birds, but they do affect birds of prey, disproportionately. The main reason this occurs has to do with bird's genetics. For example, species like vultures have blind spots in their visual field. This means they cannot see objects directly in front of them (like wind turbines) when flying. Concerning amounts of bird deaths; large birds like hen harriers, eagles and vultures are slower to reproduce than other species, so their populations are more likely to have a small number of deaths. Unfortunately, there are specific locations in the world where windmills have caused a great number of fatalities amongst birds of prey. In the Almont pass in California, one study found that about 4,000 wind turbines killed 67 golden eagles and 1,127 birds of prey in a year. In Southern Spain, 252 wind turbines located in an area used...

...| | Global Business Term Paper | | Andy Stevens | 8/8/2014 | MGMT 7600-01International BusinessSummer 2014Dr. Olu Ijose | ABSTRACT The purpose of paper is to assess the ability of Caterpillar Inc. to be competitive internationally in France. Caterpillar is already established in France, but has had its setbacks and challenges along the way. I am going to analyze Caterpillar’s products, industry context, and performance-to date and suggest how they can expand current manufacturing and distribution operations and the institutional challenges that lie ahead. I chose Caterpillar because they are an Illinois company that employs multiple family members of mine. I chose France because my wife is a French teacher and we have visited France multiple times. INTRODUCTION According to The World Factbook, France today is one of the most modern countries in the world and is a leader among European nations. It plays an influential global role as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, NATO, the G-8, the G-20, the EU and other multilateral organizations. France rejoined NATO's integrated military command structure in 2009, reversing DE GAULLE's 1966 decision to take French forces out of NATO. Since 1958, it has constructed a hybrid presidential-parliamentary governing system resistant to the instabilities experienced in earlier, more purely parliamentary administrations. In recent decades, its reconciliation and cooperation with Germany have proved central...

...This article examines Appalachian folk medicine and considers the importance of utilizing an integrative theory, the Health Belief Model, to understand the use of alternative medicine in the United States. The author examines the need for social workers and other health care providers to further assess the roles of folk medicine in an Appalachian client population. The author creates linkages among the limited writings in the literature regarding folk medical practices of Appalachians and also draws examples of folk medicine usage from qualitative research and professional intervention with this client group. The author focuses on how mainstream health care professionals may assess the role of folk medicine in the lives of their clients by approaching folk medicine as a focal and culturally-imbedded component of their clients' overall health care. Moreover, the author addresses the need for health care professionals to become not only aware of folk medical practices, but to act as advocates for culturally competent health care within the larger health care delivery system which largely overlooks or downplays the significance of folk medicine. In an age of expensive and constricted mainstream health care services and the implementation of managed care, the author examines how folk medical practices factor into primary health care.

...Interactive. Valdosta, GA: Valdosta State University. ) HISTORY Behaviourism is derived from the belief that free will is an illusion. According to a pure behaviourist, ( John B. Watson (1878-1958)) human beings are shaped entirely by their external environment. Alter a person's environment, and you will alter his or her thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. Provide positive reinforcement whenever someone perform a desired behaviour, and soon they will learn to perform the behaviour on their own. (Ivan Pavlov: 1891) The term behaviorism refers to the school of psychology founded by John B. Watson based on the belief that behaviors can be measured, trained, and changed. Behaviorism was established with the publication of Watson's classic paper "Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It" (1913). The origins of behaviorism grew out of the ideology of the American...

...The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris)[2][3] is a subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus), a member of the Canidae family of the mammalian order Carnivora. The term "domestic dog" is generally used for both domesticated and feral varieties. The dog was the first domesticated animal[4] and has been the most widely kept working, hunting, and pet animal in human history. The word "dog" can also refer to the male of a canine species,[5] as opposed to the word "bitch" which refers to the female of the species. MtDNA evidence shows an evolutionary split between the modern dog's lineage and the modern wolf's lineage around 100,000 years ago but, as of 2013, the oldest fossil specimens genetically linked to the modern dog's lineage date to approximately 33,000–36,000 years ago.[4][6] Dogs' value to early human hunter-gatherers led to them quickly becoming ubiquitous across world cultures. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This impact on human society has given them the nickname "man's best friend" in the Western world. In some cultures, however, dogs are also a source of meat.[7][8] In 2001, there were estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world.[9] Most breeds of dogs are at most a few hundred years old, having been artificially selected for particular morphologies and behaviors by people for specific functional roles.

...most commonly used criterion is the number of employees of the enterprise. In defining small and medium businesses in Ghana (Osei et al 1993) classified SMBs into three categories. There are micro-employing less than 6 people, medium-employing 6-9 people and small businesses-between 10 and 29 employees. In terms of activities they are mostly engaged in retailing, trading or manufacturing and education. In Ghana SMBs have been noted as the engine of growth by the National board for small scale industries through the provision of employment and income. They represent about 92% of Ghanaian business and contribute about 70% to Ghana’s GDP and over 80% to employment (Ghana statistical service 1998). Information is needed and distributed every day in businesses. Every business start with high hopes of success but with inaccurate data and the wrong means of transferring this information may lead to the sudden collapse of the business.

...Fracking Before I began writing this paper I was neutral on the subject of natural gas fracking, I had never heard of it and had no idea how destructive this process of extraction was. The further I got on this report, the more furious I became that this was happening on US soil, and not only that but people in the highest levels of government were not only sanctioning it, but using their power in public office to advance the agenda of companies that they were either running before they cae into office, or companies that friends were running, or were just giving them kickbacks, which would be the only reason that anyone would let this go on. After doing just a small amount of research you realize rather quickly how detrimental this process is, not only to the environment, but to the helpless animals who had had wells built in their migration patterns. Not to mention the helpless children whos parents had no idea what the were getting themselves and their families into when they signed what appeared to be a harmless contract allowing a drilling company to put up a small rig on their property. Who didn’t realize that in a short amount of time they would be able to light the water coming out of their faucet on fire, that their animals would loose their hair, have problems eating and die. The fact that any human being would allow this to be done to other human beings all in the name of money is beyond me, but I’ll get into that later. What is hydraulic fracturing anyway? The...
