...Do you think scientist should bring back the wooly mammoth? I do not think so! There are so many reasons that prove the de-extinction is a bad idea. For example, they can bring back diseases, die again, and mess up the current ecosystem . If these things happen, it would be a disaster! If the woolly mammoth came back they could not have a microbiome that helps them digest food. They might not have this microbiome because scientists can only pull out fragments of the DNA from the mammoth bones. Since they can only get fragments, they can’t bring back the mammoth exactly like it used to be. This could cause the mammoth to lose the microbiome. Without this microbiome, they can’t digest food properly. They will end up dying of starvation and that...

...De-extinction is the process of bringing bringing back animals.It sounds like a scientific term to bring animals back like the wooly mammoths.We need to bring them back because they are like elephants and a lot of people never have seen them in real life except for cavemen.I think that this is a very good idea. First we need to research to find the evidence that mammoths are very important and that we need to bring them back.George Church says de-extinction is a good idea.”Mammoths could keep the region colder by eating dead grass thus engaging the sum to reach spring grass whose deep roots prevents erosion” (Church,G.,2013).This is telling us that in the hot summer the mammoths could eat some dead grass and then they would cool us down a little bit for us people and them.This will help the temperature.”Scientist could bring mammoths back to life by targeting and replacing the specific genomic sequences in a closely related living species” (Draxler,B., 2013).They would be able to bring them back for people to see and to replace them with other animals that are about to go extinct....

...In the 21th century, people are getting richer especially women. Women are earning more money and have the desire to spend. We can see that the consumption has changed from the past. In ancient society, women used to stay at home and be a housewife. From the article, we know that, 70 per cent of grocery shoppers say they stick with their favorite brands in Australia. (Han, 2015). Most consumers are not grabbing the cheapest brands but getting their favorite brands. This change leads trouble for Coles and Woolworth. Besides, Aldi has mental availability as Aldi will choose the best product to sell but not selling products with variety. Coles and Woolies are selling products with choices and variety and consumers today are getting the best products. Mental availability refers to the ability of buyers to notice or bring the brand to mind in buying situation. (Byron, 2013). By having mental availability, grocery customers will think of Aldi when doing grocery shopping. Furthermore, people are getting busier today, so shoppers always repeat buying to make their life easier. Most of the buying that we do is repeat behavior, something that we have done before. (Byron, 2013). It is a kind of consumer behavior. For example, most supermarket customers do brand buying such as buying their favorite brands. There are less likely grocery shoppers will spend time to choose or try a new brand every time. They always stick to one or a few brands only. Most consumers will...

...It could cost upwards of 10 million dollars to try to clone the wooly mammoth. The money needs to be spent on saving the animals that are currently going extinct. Even if the extinct animal is brought back, “having the species solves only a tiny, tiny part of the problem” notes Stuart Pimm conservation biologist. Since the population hasn’t fixed the habitat problems these cloned animals don’t have somewhere safe to be. If the money was spent trying to stop pollution or climate change, then maybe there would be a safe place for the animals that are currently alive. Many animals are still going extinct in our current day an age, so we’re not ready to try and bring more animals back into this world. “As far as I can see, there is little urgency for bringing back extinct ones. Why invest millions of dollars...

...being eclipsed by the wooly mammoth. The sloth is also the state fossil of west Virginia. Fourth, not found in dry areas, preferred open grassland with plenty of available food and water. Lived in places like brazil and north America. Where the desired resources are plentiful and readily available. This allowed the giant ground sloths to thrive in these environments and create a bigger population of themselves, but even though they were very large in size they could still fall prey to other animals in that biome animals in groups, such as wolves bears and even some humans. They also stayed in large groups to decrease the risk of being attacked, but some were still taken down by even larger pack. Sixth, there are many theories about why the giant ground sloth went extinct but the most noted theory is that humans had something to do with the extinction like overhunting and overtaking of habitat. Seventh, Giant ground sloths were too large to stay in the trees like the modern day sloth. Giant sloths could reach the size of an elephant and were only eclipsed by the wooly mammoth. Their size...

...Cloning is a very confusing subject. Somehow, scientists are able to clone an animal from only DNA. Scientists have come so far, that they have cloned extinct animals. Most of the animals die when they are young, but they are getting better at keeping these animals alive. There is also natural cloning. Identical twins is a type of natural cloning. Cloning is very interesting. The most important cloning that ever happened was Dolly the Sheep. Dolly the Sheep was the first cloned mammal ever. She was able to live for a while and even have children. There have been other very important cases of cloning. The first ever extinct cloned animal was a Pyrenean Ibex. Sadly, the sheep died just after it was born. There have been many other discoveries...

...ammu, Jan 21: All Purpose Spray Adjuvant (APSA) – 80, the wonder agri-product from Amway proved its superiority yet again in a recent study done by Sher–e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (SKUAST), J&K. As per press release, the study done on Apple Crop, one of the key produces of J&K, Himachal Pradesh; showed extremely great results on most commonly reported infects like Wooly Aphid, Stem Borer and Powdery Mildew. The Study confirmed that use of APSA – 80 ensures drastic reduction in the reported infects. The key findings of the Study done by the university established a 25 percent better control on ‘Wooly Aphid’, 79 percent on ‘Stem Borer’ when APSA was mixed with pesticide as compared to pesticide alone. Also APSA – 80 showed 6 percent better results on ‘Powdery Mildew’ when APSA was mixed with fungicide as compared to fungicide alone. APSA – 80, on mixing with insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and defoliators increases their efficacy and the crops, fruits and vegetables are better protected from diseases, pests and unwanted herbs, resulting in better yield. APSA-80 contains special ingredients – “Non Ironic Surfactants” that break down the surface tension of the water and helps water to penetrate and spread better on the fields. It also helps reduce losses due to apportion and run-off giving better utilization of scare water. Institutes like Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bangalore have conducted tests on crops like Mangoes,...

...In the book Monument I am predicting that someone will try to get in the building they are seeking refuge in. One reason I am predicting this is because, what is the first place someone is going to go during an apocalypse? The Superstore. People are going to go here because there is endless food, sanctuary, everything you need to survive for a very long time. The only thing stopping people from getting in is a metal gate that locked the fourteen kids in, in the first place. The first person who tried to get in the supermarket was a man who had the type of blood that made you overly and physically aggressive. Originally the kids were gonna let him in, but they could not because of the gate that locked them in, which in further references would...

...paid a dividend of 65 cents on the 12th of September 2012 per share to their shareholders. Woolworths limited, according to their assets is worth $19,408,500,000. This makes them one of the largest retailing chains in Australia. Woolworths Limited have a total of 190,000 employees, across their various businesses in Australia, India and New Zealand. Woolworths had a 52-week high on the 7th of September 2012 at $30.88 per share, and a low of $23.21 on the 3rd of November 2011. The ASX 200 had a steady rise over the tracking period (10/08-07/09) of 48.5. Woolworths Limited shares reflected this with a rise of $2.15. Both of these changes reflect the consolidation of a strong Australian economy. As discussed in “Wesfarmers still eating Woolies’ lunch” Woolworths have recorded an increase in sales from their Masters home improvement store of 24.7% or $828 million, which would explain the sudden spike in their share price of 45 cents between the 20th and 21st of August. Though after this article was published Woolworths limited experienced a quick decline when they announced that they have had to lower the asking price for their electronic retail store Dick Smith. The initial $5000 investment at $28.11 on the 10th of August brought 177 shares in Woolworths Limited. These 177 shares on the 7th of September were worth $30.26 and produced a profit of $356.02.

...temperatures caused the polar ice caps to melt, and the increased amount of water in the ocean disrupted the North Atlantic Current. The North Atlantic Current is what is responsible for the warm temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere. With the current disrupted the Northern Hemisphere went into an ice age. In real life, the polar ice caps are melting, but at a rate not even close to that of the one represented in the movie. There is no way that the ice would melt so quickly that a change that drastic would be made. Another major issue I had with the movie was its temperature inconsistencies. In the movie, scientists warned people about going outside. They say that if one was to go outside that they would freeze to death. The movie also showed a wooly mammoth which froze to death immediately at the time of the first ice age. These examples were placed in the movie to highlight the extreme temperature and its danger. Other scenes in the movie show humans frozen to death, and then...

...[a man] would prosper, he must train with the majority; in matters of large moment, like politics and religion, he must think and feel with the bulk of his neighbors” (717-718). This desire to be apart of what others are, to join the majority is, in a sense, refuted by Deloria in this excerpt. He gives specific examples in which it seems the truth has been stretched in order to include minorities into white history. This supporters of this theory think that, “Crispus Attucks, a black, almost single-handedly started the Revolutionary War, while Eli Parker, the Seneca Indian general, won the Civil War…” (731). Deloria says that this theory, “takes a basic “manifest destiny” white interpretation of history and lovingly plugs a few feathers, wooly heads, and sombreros into the famous events of American history” (731). He believes that this isn’t helpful to these minorities’ own histories, though. In relation, Deloria also states that, in order for minorities to truly embrace...

...Rock Music and Culture Report Music was always a big part of my life growing up. It is embedded in all my memories starting with the classical music my father listened to while he read. As a child Elvis Presley, Chubby Checker and The Twist was all the rage and 45rpm’s were the records I first collected. I remember when albums cost $2.99 and 45’s were 59 cents. A uniquely culturally popular hang-out my sister’s and I spent all our free time was the hardwood floor roller skating rink where music, dance and skating was combined. Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs "Wooly Bully" is an example of the songs popular at the skate rink. I was 8 in 1964 when The Beatles and The British Invasion hit the shores of the US. My family watched The Ed Sullivan Show...
