...Why We Should Not Destroy Our Rainforest…..Rough draft Rain forests are better than just a cluster of trees. They are what give many humans and animals a roof, and food. But that's not the only thing they do, They also clean carbon dioxide from the air. Those trees that we are cutting down, those trees are the reason we are alive to this day. We should not destroy our world's rainforest because we are losing so many species, our carbon dioxide levels are rising, that is where we get many of our medicines, and the world's weather is changing so much because of it. We should destroy our rainforest because we need that timber. We need that timber because our population is growing so fast we don't have enough to support it. We should also destroy...

For each of the goods or services listed, determine whether it is rival or nonrival in consumption and whether it is excludable or nonexcludable. What type of good is it? Without government involvement, would the quantity provided be efficient, inefficiently low, or inefficiently high? a. Street signs b. Amtrak rail service c. Regulations limiting pollution d. An interstate highway without tolls e. A lighthouse on the coast 1. Solution a. Street signs are nonrival in consumption (if I make use of a street sign, that does not reduce your opportunity to use it) and nonexcludable (no one can prevent another person from making use of a street sign). So street signs are a public good. Because of the free-rider problem, the quantity provided privately would be inefficiently low. b. Amtrak rail service is rival in consumption (if I consume a seat, you cannot) and excludable (you cannot consume the service if you do not have a ticket). Although Amtrak rail service is a private good, it creates a positive externality in the form of reduced road and air traffic congestion. The market would provide an inefficiently low level of passenger rail service, so there is a justification for government intervention to support Amtrak. c. Regulations limiting pollution are nonrival in consumption (my benefit...

...CENTRAL MINDANAO UNIVERSITY Musuan, Bukidnon TERM PAPER (Animal Science) Submitted by: ACUÑA, Davie Myrrh G. GERMATA, Griz Jiv A. GUATNO, Philip Robert B. PASETES, Henrich TORREGOSA, Rechil G. Submitted to: Mr. Fernando Domagsang December 7, 2015 Introduction Animal science is the study of animals that live alongside humans. Around the world, humans rely on animals for food, fiber, labor and companionship. Animal scientist helps people understand the importance of these animals. One of the role of animal scientist and animal science is to study the proper way of taking care of the animals and meeting there nutritional needs. Meeting animal’s nutritional requirement is extremely important in maintaining acceptable performance of neonatal, growing, finishing and breeding animals. It is important for them to stay healthy. Keeping animals healthy can help stop diseases from infecting humans. At different times in your life, you may have slept in a cradle, a crib, a bunk bed or a cot. You may have lived in a townhouse, a cottage, a college dorm or an apartment. Where you live depended on where you were in your life. Just like people, animals live in different places depending on their stages of life. The design of animal facilities combined with appropriate animal housing and management are essential contributors to animal well-being, the quality of animal research and production, teaching or testing programs involving animals, and the health and safety of personnel.

...Lori Fowler Community Environmental Issue University of Phoenix January 18, 2015 There is a lot of Environmental issues that surround us daily. After going to the website and put in your zip code nothing in my area would come up. I tried to go to the nearest bigger city and there would be no information that pulled up either, so I decided to write on an Environmental issue that is close to home. Living in west Texas in a small town makes for no reports for our area. I chose to do my report on the water issue that we are facing on a daily basis. The whole state of Texas is under an extreme drought. West Texas has extreme heat and the water in this area is always an issue. There is a severe drought in all areas of Texas. The drought and lack of water is a big environmental issue. With the lack of rain then that means that our water source is slowly dwindling down. There has to rain to fill up lakes, rivers or reservoirs. There was a time this year that our town was down to only 24 months of water supply. When this happens then the people of that town are under water restrictions and you had to abide by those restrictions or you would be fined. I do not see how anyone that knew what the town was facing would not abide by the restrictions that were put in place. Citizens were restricted from watering their yards. People were asked to conserve water where they could. In Texas municipal demand for water is greater than any other uses combined. Most counties in the state...

...Odysseus Visits the Land of the Cyclopes On his way home after the war, Odysseus and some of his men landed on the shore of the island where the Cyclopes live. Odysseus, hearing the goats and sheep, took twelve of his best men and went off to investigate. The Cave of Polyphemus Odysseus and his men soon found a great cave, far from the other caves of the Cyclopes. The cave was full of round cheeses and pens with lambs and young goats. His men urged Odysseus to steal the cheeses and goats and flee, but he wanted to see the giant for himself. Instead, they built a fire, made a sacrifice to the Gods and ate some cheese. Polyphemus Returns The Cyclops returned, herding his sheep and goats ahead of him into the cave. He placed a huge rock over the entrance, far too large for Odysseus and his men to move. Odysseus spoke to the giant, who was surprised to find them there. The Cyclops promptly dashed two of Odysseus’s men on the floor and ate them before falling asleep. The next day, Polyphemus left, leaving the stone in place to trap the men inside, although not before eating two more of Odysseus’ men. The Second Night Odysseus thought of a plan. Polyphemus had left a great staff there, as big as a ship’s mast. The Greeks modified it, making a giant spear out of it. Polyphemus returned and ate two more men. Odysseus proceeded to get him drunk on wine. When the giant asked his name, Odysseus replied “Noman.” A drunk Polyphemus promised to eat him last as a favor. When he was asleep...

...Every one of us depends, either directly or indirectly, on agriculture for our survival. It is easy to forget the Urban-industrial society relies on the food surplus generated by farmers and herders and without agriculture there would be no cities, universities, factories, or offices (Bychkov 211). Agriculture is the cultivation of domesticated crops and the raising of domesticated animals to produce food, feed, drink, and fiber (Bychkov 211). Agriculture has been the principal of humankind throughout history. Even today agriculture remains the primary activity in many countries throughout the world. In fact agriculture is the employment for about 40 percent of the world’s working population. In parts of Asia and Africa, more than 75 percent of the labor force is dedicated to agriculture (Bychkov 211). When it comes to the classification of agriculture, it comes down to the categories of Commercial Agriculture and Subsistence Agriculture. Commercial Agriculture is the large scale production of crops for sale, intended for widespread distribution to wholesalers or retail outlets. On the other hand, Subsistence Agriculture is the food production to supply the minimum food and materials necessary for a family or a community to maintain survival (Bychkov 214). When considering the two classes of agriculture one can see the main differences between commercial agriculture and subsistence agriculture are the physical environment, geographic locations, and cultural practices...

...(Illinois Edu) Foregut fermenters can extract more nutrients from their food, therefore have to eat less to get as much energy as a hindgut fermenter. (Illinois Edu) “The foregut fermenter herbivores are a lot more efficient as the food is digested on the first pass through the digestive system.” (VetSci, 2011) As seen in figure 1, the wildebeest grazes less than the zebra, however does a lot more of everything else. As said in the hypothesis, the foregut fermenter has a much more effective digestive system and therefore needs to consume less, and use less energy to digest food as there is less to digest and the digestive system is more efficient. Even if the wildebeest were to eat the same amount of food as the zebra, the wildebeest would still get more nutrients out of what it had consumed than the zebra because the food that is consumed is digested on the first pass through the digestive system. As shown in figure 2, the zebra spends most of it’s time grazing, this is because in order to have energy and nutrients in it’s system it need to consume a larger amount of food than the wildebeest...

...while on there way to California. “Some chose to travel via land, but were slowed by lack of direct road or waterway.” (McGrill, 1-2). The pioneers could easily float down the river very much faster than they could travel considering that there avarage speed was about 2 mph. This floating would prevent the pioneers of being caught in bad weather and they could find better food for their animals to graze, but these rivers are not there forcing the pioneers to take the slower more dangerous route. The pioneers would also lose many things such as people, animals, and supplies because they would fall out of the wagon and be taken down stream. The pioneers would ride horses that would often lose balance in the strong currents and be swept up with the rider and drown. Getting caught in blizzards from the Sierra Mountains was a huge hardship and was caused by a later departure date (Cherne, 12). These late departure dates were caused the other pioneers and their cattle, horses,mules, or oven eating most of the grass and leaving no grass for the other pioneers animals after them could graze. The pioneers would risk getting caught in early blizzards and leave early thinking that they could strike at rich in gold if they would beat the other pioneers to California. The pioneers would not plan ahead and even if they were caught in the blizzards if they haven't dropped their items would be unprepared for the blizzards. According to the Oregon Trail video, many deaths were caused by cholera...

...We cannot set a date for the beginning and the ending of the Industrial Revolution because it was a continuous process of changes. However, most of the historians agree that this period was contemplated between 1700 and 1850. But what were these changes about? Everything. From the agricultural to the industrial processes. From the transportation to the social life. People´s life were modified from all possible aspects. This generated a vicious circle where people produced more goods, sold more goods and bought more goods. In this paper we are going to develop the main aspects of this process. Changes in agriculture The enclosure movement The towns’ population grew due to migration movements from the villages. That´s why farmers...

...someone else’s land if certain statutory requirements are made. If the elements of adverse possession are met, the adverse possessor acquires the title to the land. The possessor will be given a clear title as long as the statutory time period is met. In Wyoming all adverse possession rules must be met. Analysis Based on the evaluation of the facts, the Garber family has claimed this land by adverse possession. The Garber family acquired their 80 acres of land by warranty deed; this deed was recorded with the state. This land had been enclosed by a fence for more than 50 years. The Garber’s ownership of this property for more than 10 years establishes a statutorily prescribed period of time. The fence established an area that was used to graze cattle and produce hay. Therefore, the Garber family established actual and exclusive ownership of the property. The land was physically occupied and used by the Garber family. The use of this land was continuous and uninterrupted during the time before the Doenz family acquired the adjacent property. Although the Garber’s had not been paying taxes on the land they acquired, this does not void the claim on adversely possessed land. Therefore the Garber’s have acquired the title through the adverse possession statute legally. Conclusion . The adverse possession requirements are met by the Garber family, therefore the Doenz family did not act ethically in the removal of the fence as they did not own the title to that land. The Garbers have...

...The Cattle Ranchers should be able to continue to use the land the way they’ve been using it because it belongs to them. As it states from the article “In 2008, the value of beef exported to other countries was more than $3 billion. Brazil can use the money earned from beef sales to help pay its debts and take care of its citizens.” This evidence supports my sub-claim because it’s basically stating that the cattle ranchers should continue to let the cattle eat from the land because that’s the way that Brazil citizens get their money and make a living for themselves. The Cattle Ranchers should continue to use the land the way they’ve been using it because they need a lot of land in the rainforest to be able to feed the cattle. As it states...

...have adapted to long dry seasons. The savannas support many species of herbivores like wildebeests, gazelles, zebras, elephants, etc. Carnivore species that live in savannas are lions, cheetahs, hyenas, etc. The climate that savannas have, makes plants and animals that live their adapt. During the dry season life is very hard for plant and animals. Plant shrivel up and die because the lack of moisture. Rivers and streams dry up during the dry season. The animals that live in the savannas migrate because of the lack of food. On the other hand during the wet season animal and plant life prospers. During the wet season plants are lush and bountiful. The rivers and streams refill and flow freely. Finally, animals migrate back and graze on the newly grown...
