...and as individuals. It has allowed us to have complete insight on the basics of parenting and its importance. This project was nothing like what we expected; it actually required much more interaction and attention. It made us aware of our responsibility level and gave us the opportunity to imagine how taking care of child would be. We were able to learn that children are much more difficult to maintain than we imagined, they are very delicate beings who need much attention and care at all times. We now realize that babies are very much different from us, they cannot be left un-attended at any time because they are unable to support and keep themselves safe as we can. But also that the actions of others surround you can affect how you raise and take care of the children , and at the end of the day is something goes wrong you can’t put the blame on anyone but yourself for not being attentive enough. There was also a struggle between us as the “parents” of the eggs when it came to making decisions as a couple. The first conflict came when it was time to name the children; we both had different opinions on what to name the child therefore this created an argument between us. But nonetheless we still had to come to a common agreement and find suitable name for our children that we both agreed on. Then came the task of finding a place for the children to sleep and the way they would be labelled and again we had a disagreement. This brought to our attention that when a couple has a...

...Hatched a Chiken Egg in an Incubator Can you remember the last time you were passionate to learn something new? Neither can I. But we have all been passionate to learn at some point in our childhood. To kids the world seems like a magical place, full of mysteries waiting to be discovered. I’m sure all of us can recall some pleasant memories experiencing with science as a child. In this essay I’m going to talk to you about an experiment I did in my childhood with an incubator. It was a joyful experience for me. The first important thing I needed to do in order to hatch chicken eggs was to find an incubator. That was the easy part since I could borrow one from my school. It wasn’t actually an incubator. it was a device that students in 5th grade had to make, and it worked like an incubator with a few differences. The device could only be used to maintain the temperature needed for the experiment. The rest I had to do by hand. It was plugged into electricity 24 hours a day, and it had a lamp inside it to make the area warm and light. Finding the incubator was pretty easy. Using it was a little harder. I had to find the right eggs, if I wanted to hatch them and turn them into chickens eventually. First I had to make sure they weren’t stored for more than 7 days. Old eggs weren’t going to turn into chickens. And I also had to make sure that they were stored in a cool humid area, and were not damaged, and didn’t have any holes or cracks. Size of the eggs was important...

...operates for producing and processing and selling fresh eggs. After its first year, it began to prepare financial statements. However, the accountancy found it’s hard to identify these egg-producing flocks as inventory or as property, plant and equipment. This essay will cite accounting standards and rules from FASB, identifying the definitions related to inventory and fixed asset, and discuss the related details in company’s specific situation. Finally, the essay will provide recommendations on how to present the hens in the financial statement, and draw a conclusion based on the previous recommendations. Identification Based on Accounting Principles and Specific Situation When preparing financial statements at the end of its first operating years, Red Hen Company has to identify the classification of its egg-laying flocks. Whether the items should appear in the inventory section under the current asset, or be treated as fixed asset? Admittedly, the egg-laying flocks can be identified as fixed asset (Property, plant, and equipment), which used to create and distribute an entity’s products and services [FASB ASC 360-10-05]. Specifically, egg-laying flocks could be treated as equipment. [FASB ASC 905-360-25-4] points out “except for animals with short productive lives classified as inventory, breeding animals, livestock (which includes cattle, hogs, sheep, and goats) production animals shall be recognized as fixed asset”. “Egg-laying flocks are typical representative of production...

...02/29/2016 Opportunity Christy chose this industry from listening to her inner voice and needs. She devoted herself to her career and passed the peak time of fertility. She was trying to find a way to balance having a career and a family. Reading of Hewlett’s book and discussion with Christy’s friends about fertility treatment inspired Christy brought her interest in digging in the fertility industry. At that time, some medical research center started to offer freezing egg services to cancer patient before chemotherapy. Christy thought this technology could benefit professional women who often delay on serious relationships, marriage and children on fertility. After she had talked to Dr. Barry about the science of egg freezing, she decided to step in the egg freezing industry since she believed the later motherhood era was coming. After Christy had got her business idea, she began developing contacts in related study field to find the proper analytic tools and company analogies that could be applied to creation on her egg freezing business. Firmly, she started to develop her business plan at HBS with the help of members of Entrepreneurship Club and Health Care Club. Then she set up the website for the company to build the awareness and educate women about the service process. She took her time to work on her plan through study field, gradually improved the program and expanded her team. She took the HBS business plan as an opportunity to see her existing problems and brought Extend...

...guide a few questions before entering the area where the people are living. A culture shock is really hard to prepare for, unless one has studied about it beforehand or else it wouldn’t be a shock at all. Witnessing firsthand my ancestor culture, the Filipino culture, was a big deal when I was a young. Since I was raised in America at the age of two, and learned American culture and language through my schooling, I never associated with my Filipino culture other than through my parents, which even they are much “Americanized.” When my relatives from the Philippines, they seemed like normal people until they cooked food I personally found appalling. My relatives cooked and ate dinuguan and balut. Dinuguan is pig blood stew, and balut is a baby duck egg. I was very shocked they ate this food, which I never heard or eaten. My parents ate it before but have never cooked it and put it on my plate, so it was obviously something I assumed my parents didn’t particularly like eating. I learned my lesson that maybe I should research the Filipino culture before I judge. Just as they were shocked about my “Americanized” attitude, I was shocked with what they ate. I believe understanding other people’s cultures is important so you don’t judge them but help you gain a better perspective on other’s way of...

Ronald Olson became vice-president of marketing Poultry Industry In the beginning, poultry and egg production was done in the family background. In the 1930’s, in order to improve the efficiency of production, farmers decided to use henhouses. In the 1950’s, there was a bigger concentration of the poultry industry with the use of cages. In 1974, there were 2.5 million of birds in U.S.A. California, North Carolina and Georgia accounted for 25% of the nation’s chickens, while 9 additional states accounted for an additional 36% of the chicken population. There were basically 3 sizes of firms: 1. Small Firms(lower than 10,000 birds)- Usually family operated. The birds would be housed in henhouses. The number of such farms has been declining at the rate of 25% per year 2. Medium Firms(10,000-50,000 birds)- These firms are professionally operated farm of...

...Farm factory This documentary awakens many feelings inside me. I am so concerned about this fact and to have learned and saw how it actually happens, I think that more than one could be saddened about it. Animals feed us, in fact it is their fundamental goal, the reason they are created. I believe we should be thankful and deliver some respect. They are inferior beings but they should not be cruelty treated. They do not have our rationality and cannot defend themselves against us. Besides the fact that they give their meat and derivatives from it, we humans abuse their generosity. They also have the right to live and die decently. I am not voting for becoming vegetarians all the way, but to change the industry for farm animals. Laws should be created in order to follow a certain procedure with a higher quality standard of living for these animals in the factory. Also, to support these farms caring for the lives of animals. In the documentary, we clearly can see that they have feelings and they also can feel the pain and desperation to learn that they are going to be killed. It also hurts us, those that care about them. I am extremely concerned about this issue, it makes me not eat meat anymore but that is not the point. In fact, I have always cared much about animals, sometimes even more than caring about a person. The way I see it’s that animals cannot defend themselves, and somehow humans have the ability to do that, to speak out, but animals do not. I have saved lives of...

...Europe due to its unique packaging. It is another egg containing a surprise - and therefore a member of the Kinder Sorpresa family - but it is decidedly more technological. It is made up of two plastic valves, half of which contains the food which you eat with the spoon provided while the other half contains the surprise. These two parts are joined and when opened make a noise that children love, a “clack” that heralds the surprise they will find inside. This extremely modern and amusing product was born of highly specific needs which in this case consisted in taking Kinder Sorpresa to those parts of the world where distance and climate might have hampered its distribution (chocolate shell, packaged in an aluminium film cannot be sold in hot and humid countries). Instead, Kinder Joy withstands humidity and high temperatures and is a hyper-protected and hygienic product suitable for emerging markets such as Africa, South America, India, or places where the climate is not conducive to chocolate. Here the packaging is technically highly advanced and the content integrates perfectly with its packaging… Exceptional research was carried out on barrier, multi-layer and thermoformed materials. Our objective was to protect the product totally. You can easily imagine the difference in terms of costs between Kinder joy and the egg wrapped in aluminium. The format is identical but they are worlds apart. The little surprises contained in the eggs have reached an incredible level of sophistication...

...a single hen as a sign of his gratitude for my contribution to his farm. Since then, chicken became my pet and rearing poultry became my hobby. This goal was further motivated by my agriculture lessons in class were I learnt best practices for rearing poultry. As at now, I have over 5000 chicken, more than half are layers and the rest are broilers. Besides chicken, I rear ducks, geese and turkeys, all of which are profitable. Chicken farming has become my livelihood and I do not intend to look for formal jobs. Benefits of keeping poultry on your homestead 1. Egg production If you are a non-vegetarian as I am, then you definitely consume eggs unless they give you some abdominal discomfort. Keeping poultry on your homestead, specifically layers gives you a chance to enjoy eggs without limits. Eggs have numerous healthy benefits in your body because they contain vital mineral elements. I keep White Leghorns for egg production and their yield has never discouraged. 2. Meat production Poultry meat is irresistible. Poultry meat is my favorite and you know what, keeping poultry on the homestead ensures that you enjoy fresh meat, which is free from chemicals additives found in their feeds and antibiotics. Meat poultry matures fast provided you give them the required feeds. To be specific, it takes a broiler two months to be mature...

...Experimental Procedures Larval Studies The larvae were acquired from the Honey Bee Research Center located near the University of Guelph. Prior to obtaining the larvae, two 24-well plates were prepared with 300 µL of royal jelly solution. This mixture contained 43.2 mL of Milli-Q water, 14.4 g of lyophilized royal jelly, 1.8 g of glucose, 1.8 g of fructose and 0.6 g of yeast extract. It was stirred in a suitable sized beaker for approximately sixty minutes. Then it was poured into screw-cap veils once it reached a smooth consistency and stored at 4°C until needed. The grafting process consisted of obtaining a frame from one of the hives with larvae at the Honey Bee Research Center. In order to protect the larvae from environmental factors, the frame was wrapped with a towel before the grafting process ensued. With a small grafting tool, the larvae were individually scooped out of the comb on the frame. The larvae were placed into one of the each wells on the twenty-four well plate to float on the royal jelly solution (Figure 9). This was conducted cautiously to ensure that the larva did not flip over since oxygen intake occurs only on one its sides. Once the twenty-four well place was occupied with larvae, it was placed inside an empty ice box covered with a damp towel to ensure survival of the larvae. Once the plate returned to the lab, it was placed into an incubator. The incubator mimicked temperature conditions within a hive by setting it at 33°C with 85-95% relative...
