Organic Foods though the animal should be allowed to roam and graze freely like Free Range Farms, must be certified and meet a stringent criteria. Free Range Farms can also be referred to as Free-roaming, Cage-free or Pasture raised. Free Range Farms are often confused with Organic Farms, explain above they are similar but have differences. Free Range farming incorporates meats eggs and dairy farming. I hope to explain further in my paper the definitions of Free Range.

...Decision in Paradise Part II As previously discussed in the proposal “Decision in Paradise Part I” Wal-Mart is looking to expand an organizational presence onto the island of Kava. There were some issues that came up in the initial proposal I submitted which included technology, environment, construction of the building, labor issue, and ethical issues. I want to focus on the largest of the issues that will affect the implementation of this project in the early stages. Building in a foreign country can be taxing and building on an island will make some materials hard to find locally. To identify the problem we first needed to see what would be available to our contractors for use from the local area. The project team mentioned in the first paper will be in charge of discovering what is available and what will need to be imported to Kava. We are considered a “big box” store that has multiple meanings but the term does not mean our construction is simple. Not only do we need to contend with the importing of major supplies we need to make sure the construction of our building will withstand many natural disasters that occur here on Kava. We have identified the problem of not being able to get all the materials need for the build on the island so we will need to come up with a solution to that problem. To find the solutions the project management team will be using the decision-making technique known as brainstorming. Brainstorming is the, “Process for generating creative ideas and...

Polychlorinated biphenyls were manufactured from 1929 until it was banned in 1979. PCB’s were used in hundreds of things because of their non-flammability, chemical stability, high boiling point, and electrical insulating characteristics. PCB’s range in form from light oil to a heavy wax. The largest producer of PCB was the Monsanto Corporation who marketed it under the trade name, Aroclor. For years and years PCB was thought as a chemical who had unlimited advantages to human life and no negative consequences. It was used any way possible and was discharged just the same way. Many people simply discarded it into rivers, waterways, and landfills. It wasn’t until 1960s when the world began to question the health consequences...

...IMPACT OF GREEN ROOF IN REDUCING SURFACE TEMPERATURE IN CLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF LAHORE Abstract In Pakistan currently 1/3rd of the population is living in urban areas, it is estimated that by year 2025 almost 50% population would be urbanized [1]. The urbanization results in densely populated areas as well as expansion of cities [2]. The reduction in green spaces and increase in paved surfaces have given rise to urban heat island effect. As component of the research work carried out to investigate the effect of green roofs on indoor temperature in climatic conditions of Lahore, influence of green roofs on surface temperatures has also been monitored. Half hourly temperature variations above green roof surface and conventional built up roof...

...Assignment after class 6 Research design and research strategies: overview and distinctive features 2. Problem of safety on construction sites For the safety on construction sites: The degree to which the research question has been crystallized: Exploratory study. It is just a study to gain insights on the topic. The method of data-collection: Monitoring or interrogation/communication, It really depends on how they want to approach the situation. I think the method of interrogation and communication is the best, as the workers on the site probably know best where the dangers are to the safety on the construction site. The power of the researcher to influence the variables under study: Experimental, the researcher shouldn’t influence the variables since then the conclusions taken from the research will be false or biased. The purpose of the study: causal. We want to learn the causes of working accidents so the chances that these situations occur can be reduced to a minimum. The time dimension: ? The topical scope – breadth and depth – of the study: this really depends on whether we want to collect information over multiple construction sites, or just one construction site. If we want to learn general ideas about all construction sites in a certain region or from a certain company it would be best to use a census or sample type approach. If we want to gain information about a particular site, a case study seems the most efficient and cost effective way to approach the...

...Position Paper Global Warming and Common Sense The following are my thoughts as a concerned individual regarding global warming and the current efforts on CO2 reduction. I am not an expert in this field nor have I studied climatology or the chemistry of greenhouse gases on the environment. However, I have read many papers and reports on both sides of the global warming issue, and I have adopted the following conclusions along with many others who have studied the global warming problem more extensively than I have. • • Global warming is real and man-made. It will have a serious impact on humans and the environment toward the end of this century. Statements about the strong, ominous and immediate consequences of global warming are often widely exaggerated. This is unlikely to result in good policy. We need simpler, smarter and more effective solutions for global warming rather than excessive, if well intentioned efforts. Large and very expensive CO2 cuts made now will have only a rather small and insignificant impact farther into the future. Many other issues are much more important than global warming. We need to get our perspective back. There are many more pressing problems in the world, such as hunger, poverty and disease. By addressing them, we can help more people at lower cost with a much higher chance of success than pursuing drastic climate policies at a cost of trillions of dollars. • • These four points will rile a lot of people. We have become so accustomed...
