...Call of the Wild Research Paper True individual success is not provided on a silver platter, it is not built from the hands of another, it is not found in a surrounding environment, but rather found within one man. Individual success is hard work,determination, will power , and strive that a person possesses. Individuals that have found the success within themselves can be seen throughout history with elected officials, academic scholars, and achieving medical professionals. In order to achieve the ultimate prosperity, hard work and dedication is essential. Albert Einstein could not develop the theory of relativity, had it not been for his previous work in physics. Edward Jenner would not have developed a cure for smallpox had it not been...

...Catherine Murray Research Paper Jack London Jack London was a great American writer, author, and journalist in the nineteenth century. He was born John Griffith Chaney, in San Francisco, California. London worked in the Klondike for a few years and then began to write and publish books and stories. His books became very successful which made him one of the most popular authors of the nineteenth century. Jack grew up in a hard working-class. He pretty much paved out the way for his own life and success. He rode trains, worked on oyster ships, shoveled coal, and found employment in a cannery. These experiments inspired him in writing some of his stories, as he really enjoyed to read and write at libraries in his free time. His writing career basically began in 1893, the year that he went out on a sealing voyage in which him and his crew almost got taken out by a typhoon. Jack London’s writing career started off by his mother encouraging him to submit one of his stories to one of the local newspapers for a writing contest. Jack was 17 at the time and even though he only had an eighth grade education, he had won the first prize of twenty-five dollars, and had beat college students from Stanford and Berkley. After this experience, he decided that he would begin to dedicate his life to writing short stories, but he had a difficult time finding publishers. He then enrolled at the University of California Berkeley, but only for a brief time before he traveled north to Canada...

...pressure from PETA. In response to aggressive campaigns, all three have issued strict humane animal handling guidelines to suppliers of beef, pork, and chicken and enforce those standards with unannounced audits of production farms and processing plants. PETA has been known to use pretty crude tactics. In one instance, a viral ad featuring scantily clad women with cow udders instead of breasts was distributed in the UK as part of a campaign against milk drinking and production. PETA had hoped to air a television version of the ad on the ABC network in the United States during the Super Bowl, but was told the execution “falls outside boundaries of good taste.” Mimicking television shows like Girls Gone Wild, in which women are encouraged to disrobe for cameras, PETA’s “Milk Gone Wild” ad shows models dancing in a bar, surrounded by men drinking glasses of milk. When the women tear...

...Operation Research: Davao Immersion Trip Relation to Course A Paper Submitted to MSBMW in Partial Fulfillment of the Course Requirement in OR Submitted by: GREMMARIE U. CASTILLO February 7, 2013 Our group was assigned to be at the second plane which is the departure time is 5 o’clock in the morning. We departed in Manila (Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3) at exactly 5:15 am and we arrived at Davao (Francisco Bangoy International Airport) around 6:45 am. Outside the airport we were welcomed by the travel group showing a tarpaulin saying “Evaluate, Energize, Enhance – Davao City”; it is the Immersion trip’s theme for this year. My friends and I was on the bus number 4 with our very jolly tour guide, Kuya . Day 1 is for city tour. Our first destination is Wild Safari Grill. It is where we ate our buffet breakfast for us to be fueled and full-tanked for the fun and tiring itineraries of the day. Based on my research Wild Safari Grill is owned by Kenneth Yap of Ranch and Reef. Our second destination was the Davao Museum is situated inside the Insular Subdivision. We didn’t stay long inside because the place is only small and you can finish viewing in a short period of time. After Davao Museum we proceeded to the Davao Central 911. The Davao Central 911 is a emergency response team that helps to maintain peace and order in the city. Davao city is the first in the Philippines that has an emergency response system.

Based on the recommendation of some experts, the company has decided to launch a new low water season route, that even though it has good demand because of its wild life proximity, it has a lot of risk because the water level may not permit that the vessels can go through. A month before starting the first trip, the company starts receiving news from Brazil that the water is too low and that it will be impossible to make the voyage. At the same time the company is hearing from Peru that everything is OK. State the...

...Deforestation Jason Hennessee Axia College of University of Phoenix Deforestation “Dad! Dad! It’s opening day! Can we please go to the forest to watch the boats race?” Junior, age 10, was very excited about the idea of watching the boats race from the relative quiet and shade of one of the forests to border the river. “Sissy already has the car packed for the trip, and I think she even remembered to grab the charcoal this time!” Dean opened one eye. Seven in the morning was a bit early to leave for the boat races thirty minutes away when they started at nine. But, such was Junior’s excitement that Dean forced himself out of his bed earlier than he planned on. “Ok, son. Let’s check Renee’s packing and we’ll see about weather and conditions. Does Mom have her work finished yet?” Anne appeared framed in the bedroom door. “Yeah. I have some more reading to do, but I can do it at the site. The races are not my favorite thing, but you’ll need my help if the kids want to get wet. However, there is something I need to talk to you about. Junior, honey, please go make sure you have a cooler full of water and juice for us today.” Off like a shot, Junior dashed out of the room and Anne went in, closing the door behind her and lifting Dean’s laptop to the bed. “Dean, I think the forest is gone. Check this out.” Dean read the headlines and cutlines of the pictures and articles that Anne showed him. He shook his head as one by one they all told a devastating...

...Paving my own path; Your education depends on your teacher Throughout your years of education each teacher you have will bring you down a path. Either they will take your hand and lead you down the path of understanding and success, or let you run wild and take the path into a world of haziness and confusion. Unfortunately, there is not too many who will guide you down the successful path. In my years I’ve encountered a handful of both types. I was lead down many paths but in the end I created my own. In the next few paragraphs I will share some experiences of my own. My first semester at the College of Staten Island I wasn’t too sure what to expect walking into the first day of classes. Each professor had very different yet very unique ways of teaching. One teacher fortunately enough showed care and covered her students with a blanket of comfort. Let’s call this professor Mrs. Sunshine. She welcomed us into the course with open arms and made sure each and every student knew she was there to help us with any obstacle we came across in a writing assignment. She held her hand out not only for help in her course but also for any writing assignment in each course we were taking. The first day she cited a quote she once heard from one of her favorite professors back in her day of attending college. “If you don’t hear a student’s voice on the first day of classes, it will not be heard for the rest of the semester,” Professor Sunshine was quite disturbed thinking a student might...

...Environmental Psychology Paper Robyn A. Cole August 13, 2012 PSY 460 Edward A. Muhammad, M.S. Environmental Psychology For more than the past ten years, the field of psychology has covered drawn out analysis and delved into the correlation among human beings and the environment. Clayton and Myers state that, “Recent quantitative assessments of the human impact on nature give a sobering picture: the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment found that about 60% of the earth’s ecosystem services are being used unsustainably” (2009, p. 1). This study has implies that ecological changes affect the revolutionalization in human behavior. The force of continuing environmental changes persistently influence human behavior and the progression of human thinking. Each day instances of climate changes will allow for increasing consciousness of the requirement to recycle, reusable plastic bags, and empty bottles, reduction of the garbage that is deserted in the waste dumping sites every year. Case in point, this motivates a knowledgeable community which stimulates inventive ideas and studies. Consequentially, this encourages people and community to feel good and inspires others to improve, recycle, and salvage better. In this paper we will define the discipline of environmental psychology, compare and contrast two major theoretical approaches, and explain the importance of research in the field of environmental psychology. The field of environmental psychology started in...

...progress in general. In this proposal, I will describe the design of WiFi-based Rural Extensions (WiRE), a new wireless network architecture that can provide connectivity to rural regions at extremely low costs. The WiRE architecture is tailored for the typical rural landscape in several developing regions, in which the population is spread across small but scattered rural regions (less than 1-2 sq kms) within 100-200 kms of the city. WiRE is designed to be a wireless distribution network that extends connectivity from the city to each village. The WiRE architecture has largely been inspired by my prior work on WiFi-based Long Distance (WiLD) Networks [42, 62, 35, 54, 64, 34], a low cost point-to-point network connectivity solution that provides very high bandwidth (typically 6− 10 Mbps) over very long-distances. While prior work on WiLD networks [48, 5, 42, 62, 35] has made significant progress in the design of highperformance MAC layer solutions, we still lack a vision of how to design a comprehensive, low-cost, rural connectivity architecture that can efficiently support a wide-range of applications. It is this goal that I wish to achieve in the WiRE network architecture design. To realize this architectural vision, we need to address several challenges at various protocol layers including the MAC, network, transport and the application layers. We will first motivate the need for low-cost connectivity before we outline these challenges in greater detail. Motivation:...

...Jarrett Rowland English 108 “Research Essay 2 RD” MWSU-Dr. Heard 15 November 2010 Missouri Mountain Lions Return: Can the State Support A Breeding Population? One hot wildlife question being debated in coffee shops, sporting goods stores, and Internet chat sites across Missouri goes something like this: “Do we have mountain lions here or not?” The short answer is yes, sometimes. But we have far fewer than rumors would lead you to believe. What we do not have is any evidence of a viable, breeding population of mountain lions in Missouri. As a result, the Missouri Department of Conservation has changed the state classification of the species from endangered to extirpated. An extirpated species is one that is considered extinct as a viable breeding population from a portion of its historical range. The Conservation Commission has determined that, based on considerations of human safety and risk to livestock, it is undesirable to have a breeding population of mountain lions in Missouri. Therefore, the Department of Conservation will not encourage the species to reestablish itself in the state. Despite rumors, the Department has never stocked mountain lions and will not do so in the future. Although mountain lions, sometimes called cougars, pumas, panthers or catamounts, were common in Missouri and elsewhere in the Midwest prior to European settlement, they were eradicated during the 19th century. As the countryside was settled and developed, the large predators were shot....
