...My little girl territory place I discovered my territory at age seven. It was the only place my grandmother could find me whenever I’m not around, or when I’m upset. It was on our backyard under couple of fruit trees connected together and it looked like a little hut, it was a cozy with lots of shade, I’ve made it into my little house and I often use invite my friends, some of those fruits were papaya, lemon, and grape trees. It was messy most of the time because of the grapes fall all the time. I remember the first time I started using this place on our backyard and gradually made it into my own territory. My friend that used to play with me most of the time was moving to different city and came by to say goodbye. I felt very sad and lonely after she had left. I normally used to go there to fetch fresh fruits on our lunch time before, then I just got attached to a small corner that looked so cozy and circle shaped with flowers on the sides and as I was keep noticing I have seen it how it’s possible for me to just come here whenever I needed to be on my own. I remember getting really upset whenever anyone goes there. I even put some reading books, toys, and a mat to lie down. My territory place was perfect. I used to feel I was on top of the world, and even sometimes I used to think it was my secret garden, I did all the cleaning work and water the trees then spot when a papaya was ready to eat for lunch. I don’t think any girl of my age at my neighborhood...

Plant relocations 6. Product line changes 2. What mistakes were made in the walker territories realignment? This is reasons for realignment 1. A change in sales force size 2.

What options are available to make territory changes work? * Change in the Size of the Sales Force (expansion or contraction) – A sales force of 8 sales reps will undoubtedly split up a territory differently than a sales force of 18. As your organization’s staff size changes, you must take into account the effect it has on your sales territories. After you implement a couple short-term fixes to accommodate for fluctuations in your sales force, territories can easily get out of alignment. Don’t put off a full redesign for too long if you’ve been doing some hiring or firing. * Change in the Products or Services Offered – If your organization launches a new product or service, this can have huge effects on the alignment and balance of your sales territories. What happens if one territory has a greater demand for this new product? All of a sudden that territory needs more representation from your...

...The Effects of Population Density (PSY460) The Effects of Population DensityThe term population density is described as little more than the ratio of organisms to the size of an area (Xpeditions, 2008). This ratio is determined by taking the number of people in a given area and dividing that number by the area they occupy. As of the last U.S. census, the average population density of the United States was 70 people per square mile (Xpeditions, 2008). This is just an objective fact though and has little, if any, applicability to the average American’s daily life. However, when issues of excess population noise and decreased privacy are taken into account the subjective perception of population density meets the objective fact of population density. As population density increases so does the noise that the population produces, especially in crowded areas. Likewise, as people move to a more confined area the ability to maintain privacy and a sense of territoriality adapts and changes. To fully understand how population density affects individual people, the concepts of noise, privacy, territoriality, and personal space must be covered and the relevance of these concepts—and mediation thereof—must be applied to the subject of populations. NoiseNoise is in the ear of the beholder, or so it would seem. Strictly speaking, noise is any sound—a wave that travel through an air medium—that is unwanted or interferes with the normal transmission of acoustic information (Arkkelin & Veitch...

...societies, which means that there community breaks apart for some part of the day, before coming back together as a single whole group for the rest of the time. In the chimpanzee community, males are known to never leave the place in which they were born and raised; while females are known to emigrate during or right after puberty. One of the biggest problems concerning chimpanzees is deforestation. Deforestation kills chimpanzees and separates many others from their communities, leading to territorial conflicts. As it is known, chimpanzees are very territorial animals who often fight against neighboring communities for territory. Deforestation tears down the communities of chimpanzees which forces them to move out and find new homes. While looking for a new place to live, chimpanzees will often times fight because there will be other chimpanzees residing in the territory which they are trying to move into. The other issue with deforestation is it leads to problems with genetic flow. Female chimpanzees are supposed to emigrate from their communities during or after they hit puberty to breed. If deforestation is killing all of the chimpanzee communities around, than females have no where to go breed. This leads to inbreeding and ultimately to an isolated gene pool. A solution for deforestation is the state governments, where chimpanzees live, need to create laws to better protect forest. These laws need to be targeted toward large corporations who use trees to produce wooden...

...Individual Assignment The Effects of Population Density and Noise Paper “A man's home is his castle” always has been an English common law for centuries, and is even a saying that is very familiar among many individuals within today’s society. In addition, individuals within today’s society have created numerous ways of defending what they may consider to be their own land, turf, or spread. This allows others to understand the difference or features conscientiously labeled among territory of an individual, which is considered private property and opened territory meant to be shared by a group that is public property. This paper will attempt to define and explain the concepts of territorial, privacy, and personal space. Even though society views these terms as somewhat similar to each other, they are very distinct in their own respected way. Territoriality is defined as a “persistent attachment to a specific territory: the pattern of behavior associated with the defense of a territory” (Merriam-Webster, 2011). This basically means that territoriality is viewed as a behavior in which a species lays claim to an area and shields it against members of its own species. Various key functions are expressed in territoriality, for instance it confirms the procreation of the species by regulating density as well as providing an outline in how things are simply done. Proper spacing is vital because it protects the species against over-exploitation of that part of the environment...

...limits of a state’s jurisdiction and authority, the regulation of movement of people, capital, commodities and information between state territories and the assignation of an identity and citizenship. Are these functions being replaced by globalisation and business movements? The end of boundaries is not nigh. Firstly, one of the main functions of boundaries or national borders is, as said, the demarcation of the territorial limits of a state’s jurisdiction and authority. A state is sovereign by right. Borders are powerful symbols of the state’s power. It means that the government has the legitimate right to exercise coercion. When it comes to globalisation differences arise such as the meaning of sovereign to nations inside different territories. It is usually seen by national institutions with different points of view as to what sovereign means and depending of what constraints they might have. Boundaries cannot be erased to create a global community when there is no agreement about who is sovereign, where and how. Businesses would certainly be benefited by this as there would be no constraints for their transactions. No taxations and no sticking by national rules when having a company abroad. The second function of boundaries is the regulation of movement of people, capital, commodities and information that goes inside or outside territories. It is true that due to globalisation many barriers are not efficient to regulate...

...Small Creatures of the Night Imagine for a minute, you’re walking through the forest at night on the eastern fronts of Australia. As you’re walking you catch a glimpse of something that seems to be flying overhead. Naturally, your first thought would be, it must be a bird or maybe even a bat. Just as you think this you catch another glimpse, but this time you can see that it doesn’t appear to be flapping any wings, and looks almost square in shape. What is this thing? Where did it come from? Is it going to hurt me? These creatures of the night resemble flying squirrels and are better known as Sugar Gliders. These creatures of the night are also becoming more noticeable in homes across the United States as cute pets. Most people have never heard of a Sugar Glider before and didn’t even know you can keep them as pets. So, what is a Sugar Glider? And how do you take care of one? The scientific name of a Sugar Glider is Petaurus breviceps; which, if broken down into it Latin roots, means Short-headed Rope-Dancer. They get their name Sugar Glider from two different aspects of their life. They love to eat sweet foods, such as: fruits, nectars, and saps, which hint at the first part of their name Sugar. The second part is probably even easier to see and understand, Glider because they’re very agile and acrobatic in the air. The can spread they’re arms and legs to produce a very thin skin membrane called Patagia. Their patagium, when fully spread, allows them to glide upwards of...

...How did Americans justify their overseas expansion at the end of the nineteenth century, and how did the people in the conquered territories view the United States’ actions? Towards the end of the nineteenth century, America had begun to develop at a rather substantial rate. The aftermath of the Civil War was followed by a developing economy, advances in technology and transportation, and territory expansion that would eventually lead to conflict with other nations. In the pursuit to become a global superpower, the United States had conquered the overseas nations of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines by the end of the nineteenth century. This expansion by the United States was fueled by a promotion of democracy, but came off as an arrogant struggle for power to the conquered territories. The United States seized an opportunity in the conquering of overseas territories, as the civilians of those territories criticized America’s notion for self-governed nations and doubted the influence of American imperialism. (Aguinaldo, 69) With the result of the Spanish-American War ending up in favor of the United States, the acquisition of an overseas empire was a new concept to the American government. A clear motive for conquering overseas territories is to promote democracy. However, it could definitely be argued that acquiring, for instance, the territory of the Philippines was seen as a business opportunity. At the time of these overseas acquisitions, President McKinley was unsure...

...Jennifer Thurman Professor White HIST 2111- United States History 1 April 13, 2012 Slavery in the Western Territories: A Good idea or Not? By: Jennifer Thurman Dear Readers: I am writing to discuss where our country is in this fight over how to handle this new territory we are trying to add to our current union. Let me start off by giving you a brief history on the issue of slavery. First of all now that we have become a union of states and have been trying to expand our union the issue of slavery has become a more prominent subject of debate among Congress and the political parties. The states of the union are starting to divide due to this subject. At one time we had an even number of states arguing the topic. The slave Free states included: Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire. The pro-slave states included: Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The new territory of Missouri wanted to be added as a pro-slave state in 1819 and that started a turbulent world wind of opinions from both sides. The question over the expansion of slavery brought about heated debates in congress. At first James Tallmadge Jr. made a proposal that slaves born in Missouri after Missouri became a state would be free at the age of twenty-five. He also said that no new slaves could be brought into the state....

...1. Northwest Ordinances This topic took place from 1784 to 1787 seeking for outlining how territories would be organized and new states created. To be recognized as territory or state, basic rights, public education, and forbid slavery should be guaranteed. In addition, if a territory has more than 60,000 people, they can become a state, which means that they could vote for senators, president, and get more benefits and tax return with the federal government. This occurred when the different colonies or states wanted to get more power and political representation in the congress, and trying to decrease slavery. 2.
