...The Swamp Rabbit of Missouri LaShonda Howard University of Phoenix BIO/101 August 10, 2015 Linda Mottison (2015, February 6). Swamp Rabbit of Missouri Introduction The (Sylvilagus aquaticus) or Swamp Rabbit, a native of Missouri, is by far the largest of the cottontail family. While they are the largest, they have the smallest ears of them all. The term “cottontail” is the defining character trait of the tail of the rabbit when raised that resembles a piece of fluffy cotton. Even though the swamp rabbit looks similar to other eastern cottontails, they are larger and darker in color – dark brown, rust and sometimes black. Once densely populating the southern United States frequently along the mighty Mississippi, Swamp rabbits are found abiding in lowlands, swamps, floodplains, and marshlands. The swamp rabbit is playing impactful roles in both the ecosystem and economic system. However, the extensive hunt of the species along with human development and expansion continues to erode the habitat and creates obstacles for survival (2013). The decline, teetering on extinction in some places, will continue unless we push the habitat needs to the forefront. One such place in Missouri is the Mingo National Wildlife Refuge in southeast Missouri. Environment Description and Role of Organism Never more than two kilometers away from water, the very moist, humid, and often hot environment of the Swamp Rabbit is the wetlands. They prefer residing in areas such as floodplains...

...Time Management Nick Repak Director, Grad Resources http://www.gradresources.org/articles/time_management.shtml You finally decide to sit down to begin your paper. As your computer warms up, you pick up a journal that has sat in the "to be read" pile for a month. There is an interesting article on innovative research methods in your field, so you decide to take notes. Two hours later, the paper is still untouched when there is a phone call from your advisor. It seems that he was given an opportunity for a sabbatical in Europe, and the date for your proposal has been moved up six months. You immediately shove the books aside (for the paper you thought you would work on), and you begin outlining the proposal. After a few moments, there is a knock at the door. You knew your friend was having a difficult personal time but why did it have to turn into a crisis now? Being the sensitive and available person that you are, you set aside your work to listen and comfort your friend. After several hours, you realize, as your friend is leaving, that you haven't eaten, you never started on your paper, the proposal is still mainly a collection of ideas in your head; and that you were so preoccupied with the personal pressures you were feeling that you wonder if you really did your friend any good. However, you decide that the urgent things will always push out things you planned so you start to wonder if you should give up planning. The scenario described is often referred to as "The Tyranny...

...The Achievement of Desire RICHARD RODRIGUEZ Hunger of Memory, the autobiography of Richard Rodriguez and the source of the following selection, set off a storm of controversy in the Chicano community when it appeared in 1981. Some hailed it as an uncompromising portrayal of the difficulties of growing up between two cultures; others condemned it because it seemed to blame Mexican Americans for the difficulties they encountered assimilating into mainstream American society. Rodriguez was born in 1944 into an immigrant family outside San Francisco. Though he was unable to speak English when he entered school, his educational career can only be described as brilliant: undergraduate work at Stanford University, graduate study at Berkeley and Columbia, a Fulbright fellowship to study English literature in London, a subsequent grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. In this selection, Rodriguez analyzes the motives that led him to abandon his study of Renaissance literature and return to live with his parents. He is currently an associate editor with the Pacific News Service in San Francisco, an essayist for the Newshour with Jim Lehrer, and a contributing editor for Harper's magazine and for the Opinion section of the Los Angeles Times. His other books include Mexico's Children (1991) and Days of Obligation: An Argument with My Mexican Father (1993), which was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction.

This dataset contains a large number of variables, including measurements of farm income, farm size, total costs, fixed and variable costs, total revenue, revenue from farming, subsidies, farm diversification and agri-environment payments. It also contains details of farm location, enterprise revenue and variable costs (and gross margins), farm type. It is up to you to decide what data you need to test your research hypothesis. For example, you might wish to examine the economies/diseconomies of scale theory, or you may wish to show how farm business income varies with region and within region by farm type (or size). You may wish to determine which farm types earn what % of total revenue from agri-environment payments or from diversification payments. You could examine the labour used on different farms, and correlate this with a measure of farm income. There are endless possibilities. You are asked to decide on a research hypothesis yourself and to work alone this is individual work so DO NOT work in groups.

...Module 8 Paper Business research methods Literature Review March 8, 2013 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to review literature discussing the issue of liberal arts and business. In this literature review, the distinguishing factors between liberal arts and business are discussed. The paper discuses the importance of each discipline and reviews the importance of aligning these disciplines into a university curricula to widen the perspective of college graduates, and improve their overall well being as human beings and as professionals. This review has shown that greater importance should be given to the qualities that liberal arts education brings to the work place and the society in general. By blending liberal arts and business education, graduates are equipped with multiple tools to tackle adversities in their work place, think analytically, and solve problems they might encounter which are not thought in traditional classroom environment. Introduction What is liberal art? According to Bogart, 2011, it's an education that provides an overview of the arts, humanities (the study of the human condition), social sciences, mathematics and natural sciences. Traditionally, liberal art majors find it more difficult obtaining employment because it is assumed that their area of study is not specific enough or perhaps lacks the concentration needed to contribute quickly in a business organization. The advantages a liberal art education provides for a student is the ability...
