Considere la efectividad de Disney en términos de los tres dominios de liderazgo, el líder, los seguidores y la situación. Para cada dominio mencione factores que contribuyeron al éxito de Disney. El líder: Walt Disney se centraba en poder obtener de sus seguidores innovación, creación con alta calidad constantemente, los alentaba a realizar sus actividades de la mejor forma. Walt ponía como fin el éxito no económico de lo que emprendía si no como la empresa que mejores creaciones cinematográficas ofrecía al público, de la misma forma ocurría con la visión que tuvo con el parque de diversiones en donde prevalecía la calidad de servicio con base al aporte que sus seguidores podrían dar para ofrecer el mejor servicio. Los seguidores: Estas personas veían en Walt a quién podía guiarlos en sendas del éxito, reconociendo el trabajo que realizaban, ellos veían que la entrega y el mejor esfuerzo era encausado a un fin en común en donde se sentían cómodos e importantes cumpliendo con los objetivos que Walt trazaba. De esta forma los seguidores veían que su trabajo era importante y sobre salía de los demás, eran los que fijaban el ritmo de los cambios y especialidades de la cinematografía. La situación: Walt y Roy iniciaron a crear la empresa Disney, ambos con visiones distintas y complementarias, del lado de Walt la visión era...

...The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is an important aquatic ecosystem that provides water to millions of Californians and delivers water to many acres of agricultural land. It is a place where thousands of people call home and generates numerous amounts of jobs and money to the state of California. It is home to more than 750 species of plants and wildlife and over 55 species of fish . Many of the Delta’s native fish populations have been declining for several years which have sparked controversy between policymakers and the management of the Delta. One native fish in particular focus is the delta smelt. The delta smelt, a small iridescent fish is endemic to the upper part of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The smelt faces many threats such as getting sucked up into big pumps that divert water or threats like getting trapped by predators when the pumps disrupt the river flow. California’s droughts also make freshwater rare and water diversion causing the delta smelts environment to be too salty. The delta smelt was considered an endangered species by the Department of Fish and Game in December 1993 and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in March of 1993 . The delta smelt has been in decline, by...

...enriched with healthy natural resources and ecosystem. However, during 2001 to 2009, the irrigation in this area has increased by a large number causing the low inflows in river systems. The low inflows including the climate change has resulted in the drought across the basin, followed by other environmental problems such as a degradation of biodiversity or an increase in salinity level of land and water, etc. Not only the environmental is destroyed but also the economic in the area which then causing the social impact. To resolve this issue, the government has established the Murray Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) in 2007 to address this problem and given a task to develop and implement a “Basin Plan”. However, for the current status, “The Proposed Basin Plan” has created the raging debate among the concerned stakeholders. This report will explain the issues from the beginning; the reason why Murray Darling Basin becomes an issue in the first place, as well as the key arguments for the issue. The Basin Plan The main element of the Basin Plan is to develop a long-term Sustainable Diversion Limits (SDLs), which defines the amount of surface and groundwater that can be taken from the Basin....

...known as lake-effect snow, is most common from November to February. The winter weather phenomenon is capable of whiting out large sections of the Great Lakes region, from South Bend, Indiana, to Buffalo, New York. Towns and cities at higher elevations can expect even larger amounts of lake-effect snow. The Recipe for Lake-Effect Storms Lake-effect snow forms in the winter when cold air masses move over warmer lake waters. As the warm lake water heats the bottom layer of air, lake moisture evaporates into the cold air. Since warm air is lighter and less dense than cold air, it rises and begins to cool. The moisture that evaporates into the air condenses and forms clouds, and snow begins falling. This may seem like the recipe for whole world but due to the sheer size of the great lakes and the fact that it is fresh water and not salt, the amount of evaporation is much greater causing larger amounts of moisture in the air. Snow clouds most often form in narrow bands where the size and orientation are determined by the shape of the body of water and the prevailing wind direction. In the most extreme cases, the heaviest bands of snowfall may be 20 to 30 miles wide and extend over 100...

...all. It is an immense lake, a body of fresh water, although that particular description of its contents might now be more a figure of speech than practical fact. In the last 30 years, more than 60 percent of the lake has disappeared. The sequence of images above, acquired by Landsat satellites, shows the dramatic changes to the Aral Sea between 1973 and 2000. Beginning in the 1960s, farmers and state offices in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Central Asian states opened significant diversions from the rivers that supply water to the lake, thus siphoning off millions of gallons to irrigate cotton fields and rice paddies. As recently as 1965, the Aral Sea received about 50 cubic kilometers of fresh water per year—a number that fell to zero by the early 1980s. Consequently, concentrations of salts and minerals began to rise in the shrinking body of water. That change in chemistry has led to staggering alterations in the lake's ecology, causing precipitous drops in the Aral Sea’s fish population. The Aral Sea supported a thriving commercial fishing industry employing roughly 60,000 people in the early 1960s. By 1977, the fish harvest was reduced by 75 percent, and by the early 1980s the commercial fishing industry had been eliminated. The shrinking Aral Sea has also had a noticeable affect on the region's climate. The growing season there is now shorter, causing many farmers to switch from cotton to rice, which demands even more diverted water. A secondary effect of the reduction in the...

...Geography • Study of the relationship between man and environment in course of time and space • The study of the earth and its features and of the distribution of life on the earth, including human life and the effects of human activity. Latitude: is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface. Latitude ranges from 0° at the Equator to 90° (North or South) at the poles. Latitude is used together with longitude to specify the precise location of features on the surface of the Earth. [pic] Some important Latitudes are: • Equator (0( latitude); • Tropic of Cancer (23.5(north latitude); • Tropic of Capricorn (23.5( south latitude); • Arctic Circle (66.5( north latitude); and • Antarctic Circle (66.5( south latitude). The Equator refers to the Earth's equator and is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface equidistant from the North Pole and South Pole, dividing the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The latitude of the Equator is 0° (zero degrees). The length of Earth's equator is about 40,030.2 kilometres (24,873.6 mi). Tropic of Cancer: also referred to as the Northern tropic, is the circle of latitude on the Earth that marks the most northerly position at which the Sun may appear directly overhead at its zenith. This event occurs once per year, at the time of the June solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun to its maximum extent. ...

...are seasonal, lasting just a couple of months while lakes may exist for hundreds of years or more. Ponds and lakes may have limited species since they are often isolated from one another and from other water sources like rivers and oceans. Lakes and ponds are divided into three different zones, which are usually determined by depth and distance from the shoreline. Streams and rivers are also part of the fresh water ecosystem. These are bodies of flowing water moving in one direction. Streams and rivers can be found everywhere, they get their starts at headwaters, which may be springs, snowmelt or even lakes, and then travel all the way to their mouths, usually another water channel or the ocean. The type of a river or stream changes during the journey from the source to the mouth. The temperature is cooler at the source than it is at the mouth. The water is also clearer, has higher oxygen levels, and freshwater fish such as trout and bass can be found there. Towards the middle part of the stream or river, the width increases as does species, numerous aquatic green plants and algae can be found. Toward the mouth of the river or stream, the water becomes murky from all the sediments that it has picked up upstream, decreasing the amount of light that can penetrate through the water. Since there is less light, there is less types of plants, and because of the lower oxygen levels, fish that require less oxygen, such as catfish and carp, can be found. Wetlands are areas of standing...

...The success was the progress of salmon coming back, but the failures lies on the drought that California has been exposed to. The water diverted from the farmers will cause them to use up about 300,000 acres of farmland. The money spent on the river as of 2012 estimates to $892 million and levee improvements for the river approximate to $188 million, and the total of all that rounds up to over $1 billion, which was way over the original estimate of $400 million. My viewpoint remains the same because only a small amount of fish came back and the amount of money put into it was not worth it. The cost of reviving the river in 2012 exceeded the estimated amount when they approved of the plan. The tiny amount of salmon brought back does not compare to the huge amount of money funded towards this project. Furthermore, a drought has engulfed California and the water shortages for the farms will be even worse than it already was. If the El Niño hits California, there might still be hope for this project, but we do not when it is going to happen and what will happen to the river and farms if El Niño does not come soon. For now, the money and efforts spent, to me, are still foolish and the results of the river project these six years do not surprise...

...favorable outcome which is foolish because the victims that will have to suffer their failures will not be them, but the common middle to lower class people. In this case of the river project, they are creating a thriving wild salmon in the revitalized San Joaquin river façade when they could have funded the money to create an actual sustainable fishery that has a higher success rate with the same results of bringing back the salmon industry. Another pathos quote that portrays the river project as a flawed idea is seen here, “And it’s coming at a time when water shortages already are killing the Valley’s westside, farm-based economy... won’t be celebrating later” (2). This section evokes feelings of fear in the reader because even though the approval of the project seems to be a good idea by helping the environment and fish, eventually the plan will go awry and when that happens all the quantites of efforts, money, and water will be gone. Additionally to the consequences of the river plan...

...Research Paper: Digestive System of Mammals A mammal’s digestive system depends on the food that their main diets consist of. Mammals are classified into three categories: carnivores, herbivores and nectar-feeding animals. This report will be focusing on the differences in each separate digestive system. Herbivore An herbivore is the term specified to a group of animals that feed on plants alone. Because of this eating regime, their digestive system is adapted in order to cater for the animals’ needs. One of the major features of the digestive system is teeth. The teeth of an herbivore consist mainly of incisors, molars and premolars in order to cut, bite, crush and grind their food. The canines, which are used for tearing flesh, are very small, as the herbivore does not need it when consuming plants. In some cases, the canines are non-existent. The molars are a distinctive feature of some herbivores due to the protrusions on the surface known as cusps, which help to grind and chew food over a long period of time. Plants contain cellulose, which can only be broken down after much crushing and grinding. Because of this characteristic, some animals replace their upper incisors with pads known as the horny pads. The lower incisors are able to bite against this bad in order to properly cut plants. Other adaptations of herbivores and how they “digest” cellulose include a vast range of characteristics. Some herbivores have a longer caecum, a pouch that is to be considered...

...WEIR POOL MANIPULATION Management to mimic more natural water levels What are locks and weirs and why were they built? The feasibility of using weirs to introduce water level fluctuations that wetlands and floodplains are dependent upon, is being investigated under the Riverine Recovery Project (RRP). Weirs are structures built along rivers to maintain water levels. Locks enable boats to pass through weirs. During the first half of the 20th century the River Murray was utilised extensively for commercial navigation, carrying agricultural products to markets. At this time the waters of the River Murray also began to be developed for consumptive uses such as irrigation, industry and urban supply. The variable nature of flows in the River Murray made navigation difficult and water supply unreliable. To overcome these problems, schemes to regulate the river were developed. The Commonwealth Government and the states of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia signed the River Murray Waters Agreement in 1915. This agreement led to the construction of a series of locks, weirs and barrages along the River Murray. The $100 million RRP, part of South Australia’s $610 million Murray Futures program, will take steps to improve the long-term ecological health and resilience of the river, floodplains and wetlands along the River Murray from the South Australian-Victorian border to Wellington. Part of the RRP funding secured is for investigations...
