...Overcoming the Perils of Canoe Lake October 15, 2014 Cast- Canoe Instructor Camp Director Nurse 8th grade girl 8th grade boy Scene-#1 Camp Site Narrator In comes a bus load of an excited group of eighth graders on their way to camp. As they arrive to the camp site, the director informs them that she has a few rules that she would like to go over before they start their camp activities. Director “Good morning happy campers and welcome to Canoe Lake. I know you are all excited and here for fun but, there are a few rules that we all need to know to assure that your visit at Canoe Lake is a safe and fun trip.” Nurse “Safety is our number 1 priority” Director “Okay, okay, lets go over a few rules. Listen and be very careful. This is a great lake and you will definitely have a good time. Some important things to remember are: to keep out of direct sun as much as possible. Everyone must use sunscreen. Sunscreen lotion not only aids our sebaceous glands by providing moisture to the skin and hair, this also prevents you from being overexposed to sun which can burn your skin if not protected. Also, make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids, especially water. This prevents you from overheating yourselves. Last but not least, while we are all here to have fun, when you are in the canoes, whatever you do… Do not fall into Canoe Lake, there are harmful bacterias that live in there. 8th grade kids “Okay, okay, we will be careful!” Scene#2 Lake Narrator Boy and girl...

...Summary: It’s a story about a little family consisting of Oskar, Margret, and their little child Jonas. They live by the lake and their son Jonas is about 6 years old. They are all sitting in the living room making conversation and drinking their coffee. Margret is holding her son as he is falling asleep in her arms. Shortly after she takes Jonas to the bedroom and makes sure that he is safe and sound. Later on Oskar decided to keep his promise about going fishing with Jonas. Margret weren’t so excited about that idea because she meant it was too late. Oskar and Jonas didn’t catch any fish on their journey, so there was no satisfaction shown from Jonas’s side. Oskar tells Jonas that it’s time to go home, and that the fish has gone to sleep. Before they decided to go home, Oskar wanted to give his son some turns in the boat. But accidentally they hit tiller and the boat collapsed. Oskar was in the water swimming around and trying to find Jonas, when a white boat suddenly appeared. A man in the white boat (Vilhelm) helped them back to shore. Characters Margret: As a person Margret is very careful and loving, as we read when she safely puts Jonas to sleep. But she seems to be the weakest link in the relationship between her and Oskar. She is easy to manipulate. Oskar: Oskar is a very irresponsible father who does not understand the consequences of his actions. For example he tries to impress his son Jonas by driving wild and crazy with the boat and he loses his...

...first settlers of European descent arrived in Montana, they only found about 10 fish species in Flathead lake. The introduction of non native species have add numbers to that 10 fish species, including lake trout, lake whitefish, mysis shrimp, and many more. Adding these fish have started to cause havoc in the niches of native species, example the lake trout causing harm to the bull trout. The lake trouts population has increased drastically from the introduction of mysis shrimp, now we wonder what should we do about the lake trout numbers that are out of hand. We should manage the lake trout and try to make their numbers smaller instead of taking a ‘hand off’ approach. Flathead Lake is not the original place of lake trout and they are taking some of the natives food sources like the bull trout. Flathead Lake was iced as recently as 15-20,000 year prior. Ice being a tough place for fish to live, the low diversity is not surprising (Bansak, n.d.) This shows that the lake was not a place that fish could easily live. Of course this didn’t stop early fisheries managers, who brought in non native fishes to ‘improve’ Flathead Lake and the waters of Montana. Doing so in buckets, backpacks, mule trains, railroad cars, tanker trucks, and even...

...one of the world’s biggest risks. Lake Erie is facing such a problem and has been since the 1960s. If this pollution is not controlled, it could be harmful to humans that live around the lake and also the animals who live there. The State of Ohio needs to enact a policy to clean up the pollution in Lake Erie and find a way to prevent pollution from happening. This hits home for me because I live in Willoughby right by Lake Erie. When I go to the beach I see how dirty the water is there. I hesitate to swim in it. Lake Erie is a beautiful lake when it is not so dirty, and we should try and preserve it. If we don’t it will be become so polluted that it will be considered dead, this happened in the 1960s due to all the factories dumping waste in to the Lake. It was literally a dumping ground and it even caught on fire a few times due to the toxic wastes. The phosphorus levels in Lake Erie are increasing due to the pollution causing harm to the fishes that reside in it. In 2014, Lake Erie had so much algae from pollution that it caused the City of Toledo to be left without fresh water. This algae was caused by the excessive amount of phosphorus in the lake. This excessive amount of Phosphorus is caused when the fertilizer is dumped into the lake by farmers. There has also been an excessive amount of plastic being found in Lake Erie. Scientists had done a study and they found the most amount of plastic in Lake Erie out of all the Great lakes. All of this plastic comes from trash...

...The stocking of lakes began in the late 1800s in the wilderness lakes of the western United States. Lake Trout was the most common fish stocked because of its popularity among sport fisherman. Until the 1960s, the environment and its ecosystems were not considered in the process of stocking a body of water. In the 60s, it became widely understood how fragile an ecosystem can be. Now, controversy surrounds the different methods of stocking fish as well as its jurisdiction under the law. In this investigation, fish stocking will be examined in its history, basics, ecological effects, and controversial areas. At the start of the 20th century sport fishing was gaining popularity. With the rise in fishing came the need for more fishing spots. To fulfill this demand, the process of stocking fish was used and became very prevalent. Will Colby,...

...Executive Summary Gammon Lake (GL) is an exploration and mining company that is based in Canada but operates in Mexico. The minerals extracted by GL are mainly Gold and Silver and are sold to process and refining companies in their raw form. GL possesses a management team who holds an abundance of intelligence and expertise. This knowledge ranges from accounting to exploration and all of the areas in between. This knowledge has allowed GL to create very accurate resource reserve calculations and feasibility studies. In the last few years, Gammon Lake has acquired mining rights from multiple companies, thereby considerably increasing their mineral reserve, and the company’s size and capacity. As the Mexican mining market becomes more and more saturated, the number of profitable mining reserves is continuously decreasing. Gammon Lake faces the dilemma of continuing to only operate in Mexico or to take the company in another direction by expanding into other mining markets such as over seas (Australia and Peru) and/or the Canadian and USA markets. Currently, the best option for Gammon Lake is to remain only in the Mexican mining market as they are in an extremely severe loss position. Expanding into other markets will be exceptionally expensive therefore Gammon Lake should avoid those additional expenses at the moment. When and if Gammon Lake finds themselves in a more suitable financial position they should focus their efforts into expansion into these other markets...

...The House on the Lake Teresa Clements ENG 121: English Comp I Instructor: Jennifer Wells September 16, 2013 As we round the corner, all of my senses stood at attention. The smell, the sound, the view, it was almost too much to take in at once. It was a place I knew all too well. The air was thick with the aroma of fish, bait and coconut suntan oil. The sound of ducks quacking filled my ears. The view, oh, the view was heavenly. The sun glistened on the water as if to say, “Welcome back.” It was a place where memories were made and where I spent every summer as a child all the way up to adulthood. It was….the house on the lake. It was a pale green (almost a hospital green), two-story house sitting on an acre of land. Pecan and pine trees fill the yard. Off to the right was a small, rickety shed filled with fishing poles and tackle. The door squeaked when you opened it and inside it smelled of bait. Beside it was another shed, a bit bigger yet still rickety, with life jackets and every kind of blow-up float you could have imagined. The lake was approximately 50 feet from the house and had a 20 foot u-shaped pier with round, metal railings. Sitting on the ground beside the pier was a small, metal, two-person boat with no trolling motor and two wooden oars, which we used often for fishing. A few feet in front of the pier was what I like to call a “gutting station.” It consisted of a 4’ X 5’ table with a built-in sink for skinning and gutting fish and it smelled...

...Sunshine lake By Victor J. Let's get started, once upon a time there was, an ordinary day in september, the year was 1978. It was a sunny day in the otherwise cold England, families spent their last time in the Sun together before the winter really would kick in. Except one, there's nothing really special about it, there was Sam, our 12 year old adventurer of our little story He was not the most popular boy in his Scout group. Then we have his parents, or, they are not really his parents, it’s his uncle and aunt, they don't really take him as a part of the family, more just a burden. What happened to his parents is a mystery, he has in fact, never really met them. But enough about that, don't think we're going to dig into the past. Now we know it, so let's hear more about what is going to happen. Sam was going to pack his things to his greatest adventure ever. The reason that it is the greatest, is because he has many plans, cunning plans. Sam had been finished packing his things down, he chose to stack them on top of each other, so it became just as high as a tower. He began to climb up on his stuff so he could look out over the whole city. Because there was a place in the entire city that hit his interest, It was his neighbor suzy, a little dark-haired girl with a large family of 7, a lot of money and with many contacts. Sam had only talked with her 3 times, but he felt pressure around her compared to when he was at home. It was morning, sam had already been up in...

Perform an analysis of the Social/Demographic, Technological, Economic, Environmental/Geographic, and Political/Legal/Governmental segments to understand the general environment facing Great Lakes. Describe how Great Lakes will be affected by each of these external factors. A. Social/Demographic: The future direction of Great Lakes will have an effect on different regions of the world, as their product continues to fill a need for leaded gas. This has the potential to impact both business and the livelihood of thousands of individual’s. There are also the potential health related problems as “the globalization of leaded gasoline has made Tetraethyl Lead (TEL) responsible for nearly 90 percent of airborne lead pollution in Third World cities today” (CorpWatch, 1997). Great Lakes will need to determine and understand what their decisions mean to the developing regions they service. B. Technological: Technology is not the issue for Great Lakes, instead the problems lies with the developing countries they serve. Until those countries are able to switch over the existing inventory of vehicles to unleaded gas, they will rely on the products supplied by Great Lakes. Additionally, there will be a need for additional refineries to supply unleaded gas, as the need for that gas spikes. To help offset the loss in profits from the switch from leaded to unleaded gas, Great Lakes has an opportunity to invest in the transition process...

...Water Pollution is a very big deal in The Great Lakes. Lake Huron is the third biggest lake of the The Great Lakes and it is being polluted everyday. The people around Lake Huron are also being affected by the pollution. The three main causes of the pollution is nonpoint source pollution, point source pollution and Air Pollution. Non-point Source pollution is pollution that does not come from specific locations. The water quality has become a major issue along the southern shores of Lake Huron in recent years. The major types of pollutant carried by run-offs are pathogens, nutrients and toxic contaminants. Pathogens are bacterias that come from the fiscal waste of animals and humans. It also comes from leaky sewer lines and boat sanitary disposal systems. Nutrients are compounds that stimulate plant growth, like nitrogen and phosphorus. In high concentrations, it can become a threat to the environment and to humans health. Nutrients in polluted waters can also come from agricultural fertilizers, septic systems, home lawn care and yard and animal wastes. The toxic contaminants are created by a variety of human practices and products like heavy metals, pesticides, and organic compounds like PCB’s. PCBs are Polychlorinated Biphenyls which is a group of manufactured organic chemicals that contains 209 individual chlorinated chemicals. Oil, grease, gasoline from roadways, and chemicals used in homes, gardens, yards and on farm crops are major sources of the toxic contaminants...

...Perform an analysis of the Social/Demographic, Technological, Economic, Environmental/Geographic, and Political/Legal/Governmental segments to understand the general environment facing Great Lakes. Describe how Great Lakes will be affected by each of these external factors. Social Demographic Great Lakes began as a small oil and gas exploration company named McClanahan Oil Company. It was based in Michigan. In 1948 Charles Hale took over the company and changed it into a chemical and bromine business. In 1958 Emerson Kampden became the CEO. Hale found bromine and rich deposits in Arkansas. The company subsidiary with Octel Associates allowed the company to produce lead additives which afforded it the opportunity for growth. The company went from $50 million in revenues to a multinational company with $1.8 billion in sales. Technological Great Lakes was the top bromine business. This product allowed Great Lakes to produce a wide array of products as well as household items. Great Lakes also produced several specialty chemicals. Some examples of its products are water treatments, specialty household cleaners, polymer stabilizers, and performance chemicals. Octel gave the company the push it needed by producing tetraethyl lead (TEL). Octel produced lead additives. These additives were used as color stabilizers and as fire retardants. The salt water and bromine extraction process is what made the company international. Economics Some countries were developed and some were not...

...Yingxi Chen German 380 Dec 5th, 2012 No path to the Lake An analysis of Elisabeth’s alienation in Ingeborg Bachmann’s Three Paths to the Lake Three paths to the Lake is a story by Ingeborg Bachmann published in 1973. In the story, the female protagonist Elisabeth Matreis is a world-renowned photojournalist reaching her fifties. Frustrated after attending her brother Robert's wedding in London, she took a vacation back to her hometown Klagenfurt in South Austria. Elisabeth tried to hike to the lake of her childhood memory through different trails with the help of an outdated map, and she reflected in terms of her past during the trips. In the end, she found out all paths to the lake were destroyed by Germans building Autobahn. The lake she wanted to reach also serves as a metaphor for “Heimat”(home), and salvation of her inner life. There was no path to the lake, so there is no path to Elisabeth's salvation—each of them has been destroyed in their own ways. In this paper, I attempt to analyze Elisabeth’s inner morass and alienation through her geographic and the language deterritorialization associated with Heimatlosigkeit, and substantiate them with the recollections between her and her former lover Franz Joseph Eugen Trotta. In the beginning of the story, Elisabeth was exhausted from the "bad time she'd had" in London (Bachmann 129), desperately seeking an escape back to her childhood home and 1 Yingxi Chen visiting...

...legal / governmental segments to understand the general environment facing Great Lakes. Describe how Great Lakes will be affected by each of these external factors. When performing an analysis of the social and demographic segments to understand the general environment facing Great Lakes Chemical Corporation. The external factors affecting Great Lakes the most are the population size, in which are using the leaded gas, and the geographic distribution. A great deal of the lead additive that is being produced by Great Lakes is exported to many developing countries, in which are unable to obtain unleaded gasoline. The lead additive’s demand continuously grows in these developing countries and promotes Great Lakes to continue producing this poisonous toxin release upon lead additive production. Upon these developing countries turning into more developed ones it will become simpler form these countries to switch from leaded to unleaded gasoline supply. In return, this will eventually allow Great Lakes to completely phase out their production of the lead additives all together. The technological factors that would affect Great Lakes are the changes in the making of automobiles and other gasoline engines. As these autos and engines only require unleaded gasoline, Great Lakes will have no need of being a lead additive supplier in those countries that are using unleaded fuel. It would be in Great Lakes best interest to continuing making changes to stay ahead of their competitor, by...
