...Keeping exotic animals may be interesting or exciting but is not as it seems. Keeping an exotic animal is hard work because you have to make their home as similar as possible to their natural habitat. In addition, you have to feed them more food than what you would normally do to regular pet such as a dog or cat. Also you would have to make sure there is a cage or shelter for the animal to live in. Any way, keeping a dangerous animal as a pet is a bad idea because they can attack you, they are expensive, and last but not least, and are a threat to public safety. Although animals are adorable and fun to have around, exotic animals are the opposite. Keeping an exotic animal in your house means that you have to train them to listen and obey your commands. But what if they don't’ listen and go wild and attack you. If the animal does attack you, at the end you can be seriously injured or maybe even dead. For example, in the article written by “REXANO”, it states that “In the last 10-16 years, 1.5 people on average gets killed by captive...

...Why do you want to do stripes? I want to do STRIPES because I understand the danger that irresponsible drinking includes. Living on-campus has given me opportunities to meet many new friends, many of which drink irresponsibly regularly. I have heard of many horror stories concerning individuals who are left stranded, are forced to walk long distances in the middle of the night intoxicated, or even those who resort to drunk driving. Considering how many students drink and how many require help after a night of intoxication, a little help can go a long ways. One of the founding pillars of STRIPES is that we are non-judgmental towards our patrons. What does being non-judgmental mean and why do you think this is essential to our organization? Being non-judgmental means that one does not offer judgment or thoughts but rather acts objectively. In the case of STRIPES, it would mean that those involved would merely work to the best of their ability to assist those in need, no questions asked and no judgment given. Helping for the sake of helping those who need it. This is especially essential to STRIPES because they would want all students to be comfortable using the service as it is a representation of safety and trust. Members are expected to volunteer at least five nights per semester. Considering the typical night is from 9 pm to 4am but often runs later, will your schedule allow you to fulfill these basic requirements? Yes, I have no plans to be busy from 9 pm to 4am...

...Krystina Palka 3/17/2013 Final Draft Review My Scaly Neighbor, Friend or Foe? Has your child come home from school, after learning about reptiles in science class and wants one as a pet? Do you or your significant other, have an interest in a pet a bit more exotic than your average cat or dog? It could be simply that you want to embark on a new adventure as a pet owner. What ever your reason maybe, I Think I may have a solution for you. I highly recommend the Bearded Dragon for any first time exotic pet or reptile owner. I have been the proud owner of three beautiful bearded dragons for the past year. At first I was scared to even pick one of them up. Reptiles are not normal pets to most people, so it can be intimidating and overwhelming at first. After getting to know their temperament and behavior, I soon became comfortable in knowing that they meant no harm to me. I learned to look past their rough textured skin and really paid attention to their demeanor. I quickly went from being the owner of one to three bearded dragons in a matter of months. Bearded dragons make great pets for a number of reasons. They are one of the tamest, friendliest reptiles around, compared to the Iguana, whose temperament is unpredictable and can often be aggressive. Reptile owners will agree that if you are new to reptile ownership, the bearded dragon is the best reptile to start off with because of their friendly disposition, hardiness and gentle nature. Bearded Dragons are...

...Keeping exotic animals as pets is a bad idea, that would have a negative effect on a person's safety and responsibility. However, there are some individuals that may argue and say that wild animals as pets is not a threat to society at all. But the thought of owning a dangerous animal that is meant to survive in the wild not in captivity, is gnarly. For opener, in the article titled “Do You Really Want A Baby Tiger?” written by Mia Lewis, states how “Owning a wild animal is arguably cruel to the animal in a way that owning a domestic animal isn't.” Or in other words, not only does owning a wild animal harm your safety, it also harms the animal. These animals are not meant to be raised inside. They are strong and aggressive and most importantly WILD. “They are wild animals with wild animal instincts, even when born in captivity.” Do you really want to risk your life owning an exotic animal, knowing that when it grows up it can be a threat, it can injure you, attack you, spread diseases?...

...Davis Mrs. Smith ENGL 1101 15 November 2011 Exotic Animals Are More than Just Pets The exotic animal trade is a growing industry in which exotic animals are bred, sold, and traded in massive amounts. Millions of exotic animals are being kept in private residences, small roadside zoos, and traveling wild animal exhibits. Sadly, beautiful and majestic animals are being held captive in unfortunate living conditions. They are being deprived the enrichment and companionship that they require to develop and flourish effectively as if they were living in the wild. These mistreated animals can be extremely dangerous to human health, the safety of the public, and the animals themselves. Many exotic animal attacks have been front page news; most recently, the release and killing of forty-nine exotic animals in Zanesville, Ohio, was said to be the worst exotic animal incident in United States history. This dangerous incident and those like it need to be thoroughly investigated, and legislation must be improved to avoid future incidents. Stricter laws will ensure exotic animals are being cared for humanely and the public is protected. Common exotic animals that are being purchased for private ownership or entertainment purposes are large game cats, bears, wolves, zebras, reptiles, birds, and nonhuman primates. The genetic anomalies of zedonks, crossbreeding zebras with donkeys, are even being advertised for sale (Green). All of these exotic animals may seem cute and cuddly in zoos and...

...The Dangers of Exotic Pets Pets can be good companions to humans, but there should be a line that should never be crossed. Exotic animals have become very popular, but they are also dangerous in so many ways. The dangers are not only for the owners of exotic animals, but also for the general public. Disease is also one of the main concerns regarding exotic pets that can affect everyone. Exotic animals are attractive and wonderful creatures, but they are dangerous when people turn them into pets and raise them in captivity for that reason they should never be pets. Exotic animals do not make good pets as they require especial care that cannot be provided when they are raised in captivity. They are wild animals that deserve to be free, and not caged in small cages. Taking care of all the necessities these animals need would be impossible as they are not being raised on their natural habitat, and this is not only cruel but also abusive because it causes stress to the animals. Dr. Jennifer Conrad is the veterinarian that started the paw project, and in her documentary she brings to light the truth about declawing not only exotic cats but domestic cats as well. Declawing cats cripples them for life, and the cats are in constant pain. Dr. Conrad states on her...

...Although exotic animals look really cute, and manageable when they are young, but once these animals grow up can be super hard to take care of them. Owning an exotic animal as a pet would not be the smartest choice a person can make. Exotic animals should be in their natural habitat therefore these animals should not be kept as pets. People shouldn’t be allowed to own exoctic pets because they could be a danger to society, these animals should be in their natural habitat, and they could spread unknown diseases. To begin with, these exotic animals could be a major danger to society. Exotic animals would still be wild even if they are kept as pets. Every exotic animal grows up and become powerful adults.

...Time Travel Jessica Xaypangna Mrs. Pecina Bernal NSC 1 November 28, 2012 Jessica Xaypangna Mrs. Pecina Bernal NSC 1 San Joaquin Valley College November 28, 2012 Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner similarly to moving between different points in space. Once thought of as science fiction is now theoretically possible. Reading books, depicted in so many movies, lingering in many minds, can time travel really exist? Whether walking through a portal or spaceship speeding faster than the speed of light, if time traveling is indeed possible it will be considered physics, at a higher level and intelligence at which humans would not be capable of fully understanding for at least a few hundred years. Albert Einstein, Michio Kaku, and many other scientists and physicist alike believed in the expanding of the universe as one that curves on itself in three-dimensions. Through the bending of the universe, it is thought to be some loop holes or shortcuts allowing one to cut or travel through time. Black holes or wormholes are considered to have the power or the ability to do this. Speed has an important role in the rate at which and how we experience time. Time passes more slowly the closer you approach the cosmic speed limit which we call the speed of light. For example, the hands of a clock in a speeding train move more slowly than those of a stationary clock. A human passenger wouldn't feel the difference, but at the end...

..."unimaginative and heavy", British cuisine has traditionally been limited in its international recognition to the full breakfast and the Christmas dinner. However, Celtic agriculture and animal breeding produced a wide variety of foodstuffs for indigenous Celts and Britons. Anglo-Saxon England developed meat and savory herb stewing techniques before the practice became common in Europe. The Norman Conquest introduced exotic spices into Great Britain in the Middle Ages. The British Empire facilitated knowledge of India's elaborate food tradition of "strong, penetrating spices and herbs". Food rationing policies, put in place by the British government during wartime periods of the 20th century, are said to have been the stimulus for British cuisine's poor international reputation. British dishes include fish and chips, the Sunday roast, and bangers and mash. British cuisine has several national and regional varieties, including English, Scottish and Welsh cuisine, which each have developed their own regional or local dishes, many of which are geographically indicated foods such as Cheshire cheese, the Yorkshire pudding, Arbroath Smokie, and Welsh cakes.

...to US in 1959 as part of a wrestling team he realized that there were more opportunities for him in America than in Japan, especially in the restaurant business where he felt that he will never go hungry. After 3 years of systematic analysis of US restaurant market, he discovered that although American enjoyed eating in exotic surrounding, they were deeply mistrustful towards exotic foods. Additionally, Americans enjoyed watching their food being prepared. Hence, he gave them Benihana, with a Habachi table that allows preparation of exotic fresh food in front of the customers,delivers it with skillful art and allows customer to participate in the cooking process. To addressed the shortage of skilled labor and keep cost low, Rocky introduced the Hibachi table arrangement, which cuts labour costs while still providing exceptional level of attentive service. Moreover, this arrangement also helped in increasing productive dining space from the usual 70% to 78%. In addition to this, food storage and wastage were reduced by having only three simple “Middle American” entrees on the menu, steak, chicken and shrimp. This move cut food costs up to 35% of food sales, compared with industry average of 38-48%. The bar space was also increased in new sites which brought about increased in beverages sales, which was further enhanced by the low beverage cost of 20% compared to the average industry cost of 25-30%.

...to Chicago. While he was there, he was introduced to the Indonesian culture through worship and fellowship with an Indonesian family. He was invited to their home and had dinner with them,they also had Indonesian food at the church as well. When he came home all he could talk about was the food. He truly enjoyed it. So I thought it would be nice to have family and friends share a meal together from a different culture. Originally, I had chosen "The Nile Restaurant", I thought Egyptian food sounded interesting, unfortunately, they were closed for the fourth of July weekend. So we went to Damask Café instead. Damask Cafe is an, "Eastern Mediterranean Eatery". Damask is referred as the fabric of royalty, Damask is the rich, elegant cloth used in clothing, tapestries and upholstery throughout the ages. The fabric is intricately woven so that its mirror image appears on the back side; it is reversible! Damask takes its name from Damascus, Syria, where the twelfth century Europeans found its finest examples. It was carried on the silk road from Damascus and has decorated the royals' and their castles' from the Middle East to China, to Italy and the rest of Europe. Just as Damask fabric is made by the interplay of colors and weaves, Damask Café believes that great food is created by the artful mixture of flavors, colors and atmosphere. Just as Damask cloth serves to clothe and cover as well as decorate, Damask Cafe's cuisine is healthy and balanced as well as delicious. One thing...

...specialize in? We specialise in high quality event catering, pre-packed wholesale food products and bespoke private dining experiences. What gave you the incentive to start the company up? I was on my gap year in Australia driving up the east coast and I stopped to get something to eat at this sushi bar right by the beach. It was the most delicious sushi I have ever had and it gave me the idea to start y own company. What is the unique selling point of your business? The unique selling point of lovsushi is that the market for sushi in Scotland is not very saturated like it is in London. As the market is unsaturated with other companies it makes us more demanded to the people. Who are your main competitors? There are no real competitors for sushi apart from restaurants, of which there are very few around Scotland. Our main competitors are probably other moveable food companies at large events such as festivals. This is because people who go to those events aren’t looking for good food and don’t want to spend more on an exotic and unique food stand. What advantages do you hold over them? The main advantage for us is that we are on the move and do deliveries around a certain radius where we make the sushi. What changes could you make to be more efficient, and why haven’t you made them already? We could do with more advertisement around the counties and we could do with more food units so we can be at multiple events/places at the same time. We haven’t yet done...
