...Biolando Biolando is a one of a kind natural region with many distinct features. It is made up of many lush plants and trees of varying types and is composed of subtropical wetlands. It is mostly composed of Sawgrass Marshes, Cypress and Mangrove forests. Biolando is home to many types of species such as the American Alligator, Tortoise, rabbits, various turtle species, and abundant amounts of fish and birds. The American Alligator, Turtle, Fish and Bird species inhabit the water regions of Biolando. The American Alligator’s main food source comes from various species of fish and birds. The Tortoise and rabbits live on the same terrain in which they live in harmony. The biotic factors of Biolando consist of various plants and trees such as Mangroves. Species such as Alligators, Turtles, Fish, Bird species, and Tortoises fall under the biotic factor category also. Abiotic factors in Biolando consist of forest fires which occur naturally and which can cause great harm to the environment of Biolando. Rain controls the amount of water that biolando receives, depending on this factor Biolando will either flourish or will be in a drought. Sunlight has a strong impact on plants which is one of the key factors to excel Biolando. If Disney decided to build on Biolando the species of Biolando would most definitely decrease in population due to the destruction of habitat and almost all the natural resources of Biolando would be destroyed being replaced by rides and other attractions...

...1. Brief history of the brand The Founder of Hoi Tin Tong, Mr. Ng Yiu Ming, in his youth years started off a business "Hoi Tin Ye Mei" selling turtles and wild animals for medicinal purposes and studied Chinese Traditional Medicine and Herbs. Through years of experience he has mastered the knowledge of applying different turtles and herbs to Chinese traditional medicine. Mr. Ng's mother weighed less than 100 pounds during sickness, but after taking Hoi Tin Tong Herbal Jelly consecutively for quite a period of time, her health has improved dramatically and she can eat normally with her weight getting back to about 140 to 150 pounds. Everyone wanted to try this Herbal Turtle Jelly for other health reasons. Since then Mr. Ng opened his first store called, "Hoi Tin Tong" in 1990 on Bowring Street in Jordan to facilitate the large growing demand of this Herbal Turtle Jelly. Because Mr. Ng uses only the finest quality or raw ingredients in his Turtle Jelly, the price is HK$50 a bowl.

...they did an autopsy on the whale to find out why it had washed up onto the shore they found its stomach was tightly packed with different kinds of plastics. Almost 200 square feet of plastic supermarket bags, food packages, bottles, and more was the cause of that whale’s death. Marine animals mistake plastic for food and they eat it, most do not have issues when it comes to eating it, but digesting it is the problem. Food needs to break down before it can be fully digested and these plastics will not break down causing it to fill up more and more until the creature dies. Turtles are one of the more common marine animals people are aware of that are greatly affected by plastics. When the turtles are babies they will get stuck in the plastic that holds a case of pop together. They will end up entangled in it as a baby and when they start to grow it ends up causing deformities to the turtles shell. The turtle will no longer be able to grow in the area the plastic is but everywhere else it will....

...Sea Turtles and The Gulf Oil Spill On Tuesday, April 20th, 2010 an event occurred that would change marine life forever. On that horrifying day BP’s deep horizon oilrig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded. The spill was considered the 4th major oil spill in the Gulf in over 50 years. The oil spill affected a lot of marine life, but mostly affected the sea turtles. The sea turtles in the Gulf were greatly affected by this catastrophic event in many ways. Sea turtles have lived in the Gulf for over hundreds of years, and one of the major things that were affected by the spill was their breeding. Around this time every year the female turtles head shore to lay their eggs. Since the oilrig exploded, there is a lot of oil in the ocean where the turtles are swimming, there is oil on the beaches where the turtles are laying the eggs, and there is oil where the new hatchlings are going to be swimming. This is not good for the turtles because the oil is going to cause harm and death in most of these newborn sea turtles. Another reason the sea turtles were affected was that their habitats were ruined. Five out of the seven species of sea turtles live in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf is home to a lot of sea life, including the turtles. Since the Gulf is covered in oil, the habitat that these turtles are living in, are not fit to live in. So now the turtles are confused and have nowhere to live. They need to relocate or they are going to die. The oil spill affected a lot of...

...Name: Institution: Course: Date: The role of violence in the world of Beowulf In the poem, Beowulf is an aging king who wears the identity of a warrior has different faces according to the situation at the moment. The poet describes Beowulf as “ greater/ and stronger than anyone anywhere in this world” implying that he was a strong man but still as any human being, he was mortal (Warsh et. al., 8). Violence in the poem is surfacing as a tool to venerate superiority. The poet explains Beowulf’s anxiety to battle Grendel but still exuding courtesy, diplomacy and patience. However, the battle that he craves for, is only possiblen after he gets permission from Hrothgar “Beowulf-anxious to meet with Hrothgar, from whom he hopes to receive permission to battle Grendel- is courteous, patient, and diplomatic”. This explanation also shows that violence is a measure of power and superiority but there are limits that a person is confined that makes them to give respect to people. In this case, Beowulf respects the boundary that he cannot fight Grendel until he gets permission from Hrothgar (Warsh et. al.,8). The aim of Beowulf wanting to battle Grendel could be a way of proving his heroism to gain prominence, amassing wealth or helping people. The poet writes“What does Beowulf want? Is he motivated to perform heroic acts simply by a need to help other people? Or is he interested mainly in accumulating as much wealth as possible?. It implies that Beowulf wants the battle to gain either...

...students, and hope that we will all fly like dragons this year, guys I am extremely surprised with the news that this year is going to see an exponential rise in the birthrate in Asian nations, typically, China and Vietnam for the belief that any child who comes in being in this special period is endowed with a lucky life. For years, dragon has been regarded a legendary animal and associated with power, activeness, superiority and other good traits. Hoping that their off-springs to have the same life as the dragons’, millions of young couples try their utmost to have babies and problems, however, remain that the population explosion might happen. According to several experts, this rage is likely to result in a gloomy picture, though. First of all, that people think children are born this year are lucky purely originates from the unfounded belief, without any empirical research. Second, as they grow up, ready to take the entrance exams and seeking for jobs, competition between babies of this year escalates ceaselessly. The higher unemployment rate on the horizon is imminent, let alone probably an increased crime rate and the shortage of housing. Perhaps, to people working in the real estate, this could be a positive signal, as a result of the fact that the demand for housing during that epoch is on the climb, pushing the price to the rocket and greatly benefiting them while their parents who dedicate their lives to buying houses for their dragon-year-born children are dissatisfied....

...Cruelty The prophet David from the Bible who spoke of false accusations people make, an angry dragon from Scandinavia whose fury could not be withheld, and a man who knows the brutality of human nature. Though all different situations, they share a common theme, cruelty. Cruelty in gossip, cruelty in temper, and cruelty in nature. Cruelty can be found in all types of literature even as old as the Bible. “Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up risen up against me, and such as breath out cruelty” (Psalms 27:12). This quote is asking God not to let us give into our enemies, and for us to not believe the brutality of people’s false accusations. The prophet David was the one who conveyed this quote. By speaking out about the cruelty of people he is indirectly saying that God is the only person you need to seek approval from. He is also saying that no one else’s words or savageness should matter. Though David’s message is centuries old, it proves that a verse, or phrase can contain the same significance even centuries later. Only decades later cruelty was still evident with World War II and the Nazis, and in modern day situations such as terrorism. Many other works of literature are also proof of this same idea. One example of a piece of literature that conveys cruelty well is the story of Beowulf. “And the signs of its anger flickered and glowed in the darkness, visible for miles tokens of its hate and its cruelty...

...more diverse. Moreover, consumers also perceive HFT and HealthWorks provide health supplement goods and are trendier than HTT. Although Kung Wo To has only 10 stores in Hong Kong, consumers generally regard Kung Wo To is more traditional and products have more medical function than HTT. SWOT For the strengths, First, Hoi Tin Tong clarifies that the test of no turtle shell in its turtle jelly is not credible with the evidence that the Professor of the test withdraw his claim in 2015. After this, Hoi Tin Tong has proved their turtle jellies consist of turtle shell by a DNA test. This implies that Hoi Tin Tong was a victim and being targeted. Second, Hoi Tin Tong has not raised the price of the turtle jelly, this increase the favorability toward HTT of consumers. Also, HTT offers 30% off coupons which is sold in a set to customers. This raises the consumers’ consistency to eat HTT’s products as well as their loyalty. For the weaknesses, First, a series of defamation that have hurt the reputation of Hoi Tin Tong, for example, the test of no turtle shell in Hoi Tin Tong turtle jelly in 2013, a video about moldy turtle jelly in 2013. It results that many consumers are hesitated in eating HTT’s products....

Harry was sitting in his house pondering on all the things he had done with his life, when he added up all his achievements he was quite depressed. There was nothing interesting about Harry. So he decided he would like to parachute out of a plane. The next day Harry went to the nearest sky diving facility. Once he was 50,000 feet in the air he began to question what exactly he was doing and why he ever decided to do such a thing. Before he knew it the green light came on and he was pushed out of the plane and as he fell through the clouds he could see the ground below was covered with what appeared to be a huge rainforest. With nowhere to land Harry pulled the cord and got tangled in a tree. Turns out he actually landed in a forest that had unnaturally huge apple trees. One apple was roughly the size of a football and they looked quite juicy and tasty indeed. He went to take a bite but he fell from the tree. Harry forgot about his situation and the cords had snapped. He plummeted towards the ground and suddenly with a thump he landed on something hard. At first it seemed like a rock but as harry climbed down and looked more closely to find, to his astonishment it was a large turtle. Harry was rather frightened and took off running when he released what it was, he entered a valley which turned to a tunnel...
