...Zoos are internment camps for animals and should be shut down. As a kid I loved going to the Zoo. I especially enjoyed the one in Houston Texas. When we are young we like to see animals. Petting an animal, like a tiger or a lion was a great challenge, yet it was exiting. When we are young seen an animal behind the bars of a cage is an awesome feeling. It does not matter what animal, either a tiger or even a Zebra they are a beautiful and exotic. One thing many people don’t realize is how I fell about the animals been in the cage. On my eight birth day I got a big present. My parents gave me a dog, and I named it Jimmy. When my parents gave me the dog they both told me “son this little pet is like a human you have to treated good like how you would like to be treated ok.” After my firs dog Jimmy I realize that many people don’t think about animal and their feeling. Animals are just living creatures to many. Zoo look at animals like a great business. Keeping all the animals in a limited perimeter is awful. A monkey especially they are keep in a metal box with bars. I bet that they fill like criminals, but with no felonies or crimes. A habitat for a monkey it’s a place with limitless area so that he can jump around everywhere. In some zoo they have bigger cages for animals; it does not make a difference how big or small they are, because at the end they are still trap. Many animals die in the zoo. Why do the animals die in the zoo? That is a question many ask. They...

...Cal.Fam.Code § 3011(a). Mei ling will argue, by Robert sleeping with a knife by his side, he is an unsafe parent because he has the possibility of injuring Rose. Rose is two years old, so she can easily pick up the knife while Robert is sleeping and hurt herself. Mei ling can also argue that Robert’s paranoia–while on drugs–is also an unsafe environment for Rose because Robert will not be in the right mindset to take of a child when he is hallucinating on drugs. Meiling can also argue, Robert smoking methamphetamine in their home shows an unsafe environment for Rose because exposure to the chemicals in methamphetamine can be harmful to Rose’s health. On the other hand, Robert will argue that Rose cannot provide a safe environment for Rose. Mei Ling having a domestic violence conviction shows she will not be able to provide a safe environment because she displays violent tendencies. Robert will also argue Meling scratching him proves Rose will not be able to provide a safe environment for Rose because she sometimes initiates violence. Even though Mei Ling was convicted of domestic violence, Mei Ling will be able to provide a safer environment for...

...Leslie Shirkey Christopher Holcom History 112-CO1 Due November 7, 2015 Princess Der Ling I fancy the sweet scent of sandalwood and clove that is lingering in the air. I love when Ma ma lights the censer when Ba ba has left. It reminds me of the time I was living in Paris. It seems like yesterday. We haven’t been in Shanghai very long and it has rained nonstop. Travelling has not been very pleasant. We were greeted by Taotai, stoically as if we were royalty. They offered us the Tien Ho Gung (Temple of the Queen of Heaven), but Ba ba insisted we not. Instead we stayed at the Hotel des Colonies in the French Concession. The Hotel was acceptable, but we were to stay there long. Our family had to leave to Peking at once. The houses in Peking seemed to go on forever. The gardens were Chinese style, flowing gracefully with vines of flowers. Bridges seemed to rise here or there, but there was a hurried problem. We did not have a home in Peking. Father sent a telegram to a friend to find us a house and one was found. It was a famous house, indeed, it was the house where Li Hung Chang signed the treaties with the Foreign Powers after the Boxer Rising and also...

...Abstract Wai-Ling is considering two big changes to his restaurant business. One is the possibility of adding a delivery service or to open a new unit a few blocks away from the current restaurant (Rao, 2004). Wai-Ling has a variety of challenges with both of these options; marketing, operational issues, inventory, and financial concerns. I recommended that Wai-Ling starts a delivery service because he would have quicker return on his investment without much capital needed for start-up. Also Mongol BBQ can increase business without significantly increasing regular operation costs or require expansion of their facilities. Mongols BBQ Mongols BBQ was an Oriental stir-fry “buffet bar” located in California. Customers could choose combinations of food to be cooked as they watch the food being prepared. The owner of the restaurant, Wai-Ling Wang, wants to expand his business by either adding a delivery service or opening a new branch a few blocks away from the current establishment. Wai-Ling would like the delivery service to generate about 100 extra customers each day by only to deliver to nearby offices. The opportunity to open a new unit is extremely attractive because of the possible location of the new unit. The new location is in a food court that has a variety of other restaurants, but it needs some Oriental touch. Wai-Ling (Rao, 2004). Challenges Both of these business ventures comes with a variety of challenges. With the delivery service...

...Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution caused millions deaths, and it was a miserable failure; it brought fundamental changes to China such as family structure, rural people’s immigration, landscape and so on (Spence & “Brief Story of China”). As shown in the film, the first obvious change is technology. During the Ling Ling’s mother wedding day, there was a small black-white TV as a wedding gift. Everybody were interested in the TV because it was the first time they saw a TV. Later on, the stage of playing celluloid movie was destroyed because everybody were start watching movies at home (Xiao). I felt sad when I saw the scene. I remembered I saw the outdoor celluloid movie when I was young. Me and other kids came very early and sat on the first row. Even though the comfortable chairs were provided, we had no worries of sitting on the dirty ground and eating snacks. Right now, people can go to relax and clean theater to watch movie, even watch movies at home by using the Internet. I have to say that the technology has brought much convenience to people’s life. The second change is people’s thoughts toward single women. The birth of Ling Ling has brought several troubles to her mother. Her mother lost her great...

...sale. Mei Ling, a friend of both Bob and Sally’s, agreed to lend them $10,000 to get the business started, provided she received half of the profits at the end of the first year. Otherwise the profits are to be shared between Bob and Sally equally. Mrs Plod has recently complained that the foot lotion she purchased from Feet First has caused severe irritation, leaving her unable to walk or work for several weeks. Tests have revealed that the foot lotion contains chemicals likely to cause harm if applied directly to human skin. Unfortunately, when Sally was preparing the lotion for bottling she allowed a quantity of corrosive industrial cleanser to be mixed into the lotion. Mrs Plod is seeking $10,000 damages to cover medical expenses, lost wages and considerable pain and suffering. Sally has no money and Mrs Plod wants to claim against Bob and Mei Ling.

...International Business Case: An Extreme Counter Offer Dr. Ling, SingCast Cable's V.P. of Products, was in full control of the meeting. He sensed it was time to push for more concessions from CyberWave's negotiating team. CyberWave, the four year incumbent e-mail platform provider, had been very uncooperative in renegotiating the current contract. But with eWeb's (a Singapore start-up company) competitive offer on the table, Dr. Ling had a real opportunity to significantly cut his growing e-mail operational costs. Dr. Ling looked directly at Mr. Hua, CyberWave's Sales Director, and stated in a quiet, gentle tone "Mr. Hua, we cannot afford any longer to supplement CyberWave's licensing fees for subscribers who sign up for free accounts. As you will see in the counter-proposal in front of you, we expect your company to charge nothing for these subscribers going forward, but of course we will pay for those subscribers who opt for a 'for fee' package." Trying to mask his displeasure, Mr. Hua interjected "Dr. Ling, this is most difficult to comprehend." Barely pausing, Dr. Ling did not respond and continued, "We are also leaning towards outsourcing the entire e-mail hosting operations to the selected vendor. We expect 'all' operational and technical costs to be included: hardware and software, telecommunications bandwidth, and any direct or indirect costs associated with the migration of the subscribers to the selected vendor's facility. Furthermore, we we will go through a formal...

...Lucifer’s Spoils (Chinese version in English) One sunny day Wong and his wife Ling were planning on going camping. Wong brought his nephew, Chow, and his niece, Ming. They were all excited to share this experience together. As they arrived at the woods they unloaded the car. “We should hurry, for we only have so much sunlight left,” said Wong. They hiked for three miles paying close attention to the GPS. They found where they wanted to set up camp at for the night. Wong went out to gather wood for a fire, Ling and the kids stayed and set up camp, As time passed, Wong started to get a bad vibe about the woods. Ming screamed when she walked into a spider web. Thirteen giant spiders slowly walked toward her. Wong arrived in a hurry. He grabbed one of his sticks and fought them off. After he defeated the spiders, he checked on Ming to see if she was okay. Neither of them had seen spiders of such size. As it was getting dark outside, Wong tried to carry on the night eating, joking, and telling stories around the fire. Wong was dead silent because he still had a bad feeling about these woods. He told his family he would be back and that he had to use the restroom. He then went roaming around the woods and thought he saw a flash of movement ahead of him. Wong tripped and fell over something, about 50 yards away from camp. He looked around and discovered it was an old cemetery with a skeleton. It was half way buried with its finger pointing behind him. So he turned around...
