...diet of the quolls and whether diet trends were similar to those of quolls in other geographic locations. The study was conducted over 20 months and included the trapping of quolls for scat collection as well as the collection of scats from set transects. Prey remains from the scats were identified using keys and reference specimens to the lowest taxonomic level of confidence. It was found that mammals dominate the diet of quolls; however they were consumed less frequently over summer while insects and reptile consumption increased in frequency over summer. Gender and body size was not found to influence food intake significantly however there was a trend that smaller quolls consumed more invertebrates than mammals. Data gathered from this study was broadly similar to that gathered from populations of quolls in different geographic locations. As both the quoll and Tasmanian Devil are carnivorous marsupials and previous studies have provided evidence of their similarities, the conclusions from this article could be used in regards to the influence of such factors on Tasmanian Devils given there is limited resources available regarding these animals.

...University of Miami, the University of Georgia and a few other public schools in Florida. Her first volume of poems appeared in 1981, and since then, has published a novel, essays and many poetry collections. Taslima Nasrin was born in Mymensingh, Bangladesh. She earned her degree in medicine from Mymensingh Medical College and practiced as a government doctor for a few years. Nasrin earned a number of important literary prizes in 1992 and 1993. Then she went on to win the UNESCO-Madanjeet Singh Prize and the Simone de Beauvoir feminist award in 2008. The differences between Latin Women Pray by Judith Ortiz Cofer and Things Cheaply Had by Taslima Nasarin are what is being worshiped, the setting and social status (Abcarian, Richard, Marvin Klotz, and Samuel Cohen. Literature: The Human Experience: Reading and Writing. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin's, 2007. Print.). There are a few similarities and differences between what is worshiped in Latin Women Pray and Things Cheaply Had. “If they get a jewel for their nose they lick feet for seventy days or so…” (Nasrin,T.C.H.). The women will become so desperate that they will do almost anything for material objects. “They pray to an Anglo God with a Jewish heritage” (Cofer, L.W.P). The Latino community worships more or less non-material objects whereas the Indian prostitutes worship jewels and oils for their hair. “If they get a small bottle of alta for their feet they spend three nights sleepless for sheer joy” (Nasrin, T.C.H). “Before his...

...Two of the most populated states are Florida and California, but which state is better? Florida and California have many similarities, but people don’t know the huge differences between the two. These states may appear to be similar at first, but they differ in their economy, weather, and lifestyle. Florida is referred as “the sunshine state”, because of its warm sunny weather all year round. In Florida, the high, temperatures in the summer can get up to the high 80s, but because of the humidity, it can feel like the high 90s. In the winter Florida lows are around the low 60s with an average of two to three inches of rain per month. A common weather phenomenon that occurs is a hurricane, these occur every couple years. Florida is a very wet and hot biome that attracts main different species of plants and animals to the region. Many people see both California and Florida have similar weather because they are both warm places. California has two...

...Relationship between Religion and International Trade Hilal AKINCI, Yeditepe University, İstanbul 2014 The main aim of this paper is to show whether or not religion has impacts on international trade and how it does happen. To do so, researches about the topic will be covered and some worldwide statistics are gathered together. Empirical Studies There are few empirical studies about impacts of religion on international trade or its relationship with international trade. In shared research of Emilia Justyna Powell, University Alabama, and Stephanie J. Rickard, London School of Economics, impacts of Islamic law on international trade is examined. Two models which are monadic and dyadic techniques are used in this study. The main purpose of them to demonstrate whether or not countries governed by Islamic law are effected regarding their international trade although they believe that “the importance of countries’ legal systems for trade has declined over time, possibly due to the increased role of international arbitration bodies and/or the standardization of international sales contracts (Powell & and Rickard, 2010). This research is important as being the first direct test of the effect of Islamic law on countries’ trade relations. The researched draws our attention to the situation that trade can be conceptualized as the aggregate flow of goods and services between countries but in fact that flows are a series of contracts between buyer and seller countries.

...feed utilization by the shing fish fed on three different Vitamin C level have been assessed by the determination of condition factor (K), survival rate (SR), specific growth rate (SGR%), feed conversion ratio (FCR), feed efficiency and average daily gain (ADG) and protein efficiency ratio (PER). All the water quality parameters specifically- Temperature (0C), Dissolved oxygen (DO), Carbon dioxide (CO2) and pH in the plastic tanks were highly monitored and maintained. The highest FCR was found in the control while the lowest was measured in treatment 2. The values of PER for treatment 2 was higher than control and treatment 1. The condition factor was highest in treatment 2 but not significantly mentionable with others. The feed efficiency is higher in control and declined gradually between treatment 1 and treatment 2. The value of Average daily gain (ADG) was highest in treatment 2 and lowest in control. The values of SGR% were highest for treatment 2 and lowest for control. Result of the current study showed that supplementation of Vitamin...

...well know and well loved for the inner struggle and triumph of Pi, whose main goal is simply to survive, while his secondary goal is to spiritually come to terms with what has happened. What is most surprising, though, is that the screenplay is only 75 pages compared to the 400 plus pages of the book. As a general rule of thumb, one page in a screenplay equals one minute on the screen. However, due to the stunning cinematography and the computer graphics, the movie is 127 minutes long. These visuals replace the inner monologues that the book uses to show the changes in Pi. Excluding the monologues was the biggest risk David Magee, the screenwriter, took when he adapted the book. The book focuses mainly on how Pi uses his knowledge of animals and religion for self reflection. While the book’s visuals do add to the inner turmoil of Pi and give the reader something to picture and place Pi in, they are not the focus. In the movie, though, they are focus, giving the movie an easy-going pace that is not weighed down by voiceover. The only time the film did use voiceover was for the...

...Animal Cancer Foundation | SAVING THE LIFE OF A LOVED ONE | | Comprehensive analysis of ACF’s mission, organization and financial performance. | | Martha Morales | 11/29/2011 | | Animal Cancer Foundation’s Mission Statement To fund and develop research focused on the biologic similarity of cancer in pets and people that will expedite therapeutic and preventive benefits for both. To educate the public and scientific community about the biologic similarity of cancer in pets and people; also, to communicate the ways in which comparative oncology is accelerating the treatment, prevention and ultimate eradication of cancer. Financial Analysis Based on the form 990 from 2009, Animal Cancer Foundation uses the cash method, therefore, does not include accounts receivable and other accrual items of income under the income section or accounts payable or other accrual items of expenses under the expenses section. The total revenue for the year ending June 30, 2010 was for $64,186 and the total expenses were $89,867. These numbers led me to conclude that the company has a deficit of $25,681, meaning that the organization may suggest future financial difficulty. Analyzing revenues and expenses figures for the last 5 years from the forms 990 (please see Graph No. 1 Revenues vs. Expenses), I can support the idea that the organization’s ability to generate income has decreased and their expenses should be higher. This could be due several reasons such as...

...Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost are two American writers whose specialty is writing some of the most darkest and at the same time informative poems about life. The poetry of Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost contains similar themes and concepts. Both poets attempt to connect with their readers by their poems of death and solitariness. Dickinson and Frost both used death as one of their themes. In Emily's poem Because I could not stop for Death, the speaker is communicating from beyond the grave, describing her journey vividly with death. In the first stanza, the speaker is too busy for Death. “Because I could not stop for Death” so death takes the time to stop for her. This suggests that death has arrived and the speaker is aware of this. The carriage that they are traveling in is moving along at an easy, unhurried pace; perhaps suggesting that death has arrived in the form of a disease that takes time to kill its host. “We slowly drove, he knew no haste” (Dickinson). By the third stanza she believes she is still alive but then realizes that she just passed away. “We passed the Setting Sun, or rather he passed us “ (Dickinson). In the final stanza, after the realization of her new place in the world, her death also becomes suddenly very real, as “The Dews drew quivering and chill” (Dickinson). After this moment of seeing the coldness of her death, the carriage pauses at her new home .“A Swelling of the Ground“(Dickinson) ,makes it clear that they are referring to a grave. In...

...The Classical Period The Classical Art Period consisted of ancient Greek and Roman art and fell between the years 900 BC and 31 BC. During the Classical Period, Athens and Sparta were dominant cities in the Greek region. These cities were suspicious of one another, but managed to live peacefully together until the 5th century, BC. Cultural and political differences between the two cities caused a rivalry to form. The rivalry was eventually quelled after a brutal war which ultimately ended in the demise of both cities and the rise of Macedonia as the dominant power in the region. Eventually, the social structure in the Classical Period became somewhat of a democracy and an open society which we have emulated in the United States (“History of Greece: Classical Greece”, 2014). Many other wars occurred over the course of the Classical Period, and this culture of war contributed to the realism of the art of the time. The brutality of war and the effects it had on Greek society inspired artists to focus on man, rational thinking, and logic (“History of Greece: Classical Greece”, 2014). Greek artists in the 5th century, BC began to realistically imitate humans and animals through art (Boardman, 2012). These Greek artists gained a better understanding of anatomy and the human body’s mechanics, giving them the ability to realistically render the human form in multiple positions without appearing awkward. Logic was valued over emotion in sculptures. This means that facial expressions...

...unification of body and soul for human relations with the earth? Are people more likely to respect plants and animals if they are understood to have souls? Aristotle’s belief that humans consisted of the body and soul. The soul, he speculated, was the essence of life and is what made us so advanced compared to other creatures on Earth. The body and soul, together, create the human. In modern times the word “Human” also is used as an adjective. We describe animals who act similar to us as being “strangely human”. This is a good example of how we see ourselves in comparison to nature. Animals and plants are as alive as we are so why do we treat them wrongfully? This must change if we are to reach an...

...Introduction This is a comparative essay and its purpose is to compare old-Earth and young-Earth viewpoints on Dating the rocks of the Grand Canyon. There are different views on this and no scientific method that can prove (completely) the age of the universe or the earth. There are the use of different types of calculations that can provide some guesses on the age of the earth. Many things need to be assumed such as a beginning date and the speed of change along with varying increases and decreases of material over time. “Young-Earth Creationism” (YEC) is based on a precept that earth and the universe were created by God, only 6,000 years ago in six days. Their position is that by examining geological records the scientific details of early history will become clear and a literal biblical view of Earth’s creation supported. Now, “Old Earth Creationism” (OEC) is also based on a precept that earth and the universe were created by God, but they also believes and interprets the book of Genesis differently. OEC try to fit cosmology and theories on evolution in (in some form). Both “Young-Earth Creationism” as well as “Old Earth Creationism” believes in a creator. The biggest area of disagreement is the age of the universe and the earth. This essay will look at both “Young-Earth Creationism” and “Old Earth Creationism” in regarding Dating of the rocks in the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is one of the most popular areas in the world to focus on this debate. There is a great deal...
