...The Little Prince plot The narrator, an airplane pilot, crashes in the Sahara desert. The crash badly damages his airplane and leaves the narrator with very little food or water. As he is worrying over his predicament, he is approached by the little prince, a very serious little blond boy who asks the narrator to draw him a sheep. The narrator obliges, and the two become friends. The pilot learns that the little prince comes from a small planet that the little prince calls Asteroid 325 but that people on Earth call Asteroid B-612. The little prince took great care of this planet, preventing any bad seeds from growing and making sure it was never overrun by baobab trees. One day, a mysterious rose sprouted on the planet and the little prince fell in love with it. But when he caught the rose in a lie one day, he decided that he could not trust her anymore. He grew lonely and decided to leave. Despite a last-minute reconciliation with the rose, the prince set out to explore other planets and cure his loneliness. While journeying, the narrator tells us, the little prince passes by neighboring asteroids and encounters for the first time the strange, narrow-minded world of grown-ups. On the first six planets the little prince visits, he meets a king, a vain man, a drunkard, a businessman, a lamplighter, and a geographer, all of whom live alone and are overly consumed by their chosen occupations. Such strange behavior both amuses and perturbs the little prince. He does not understand...

...Summary of Chip Health and Dan Health’s “Finding the Bright Spot” In the chapter “Find the Bright Spots” taken from the book Switch: How to change thing when change is hard, the authors state that: when changing things, there’re bright spots in your field. You need to direct your followers- the Riders by following these bright spots and make the Elephants’ expect that change is possible and the Path is clear. In 1990, Jerry Sternin came to Vietnam to fight malnutrition with barely support from the government. Firstly, his team found that there were a lot of problems such as poor sanitization, poverty, out of clean water. However, in six months and almost no money, solving these problems became useless. After weighting, Jerry found that there were healthy and well-nourished kids despite their poor families. There were his bright spots. Besides that, he directed the mother’s Riders to shadow the bright spots’ mothers. Uniquely, these kids ate four times instead of twice a day, parents fed kids by hands, or mixing rice with small shrimp, crab and sweet potato green provided vitamin and protein for the kids. Because knowledge couldn’t guide the villagers, Jerry created cooking classes at the bright spots’ houses, provided detailed instructions to the mother’s Riders. Gradually, more mothers followed and this made the mothers’ Elephants believe in making their kids healthier. Six months later, 65 percent of the kids became healthier. Bright spots exist in every...

...Mo Yi Lam BISC_102 Professor Kiefer Nov 30th, 2010 Final Paper (Summary of Endangered Species Act) Endangered Species Act “What is an endangered species?” is a question that needs to be addressed before getting known of endangered species act. An endangered species is a population of organisms which is at risk of becoming extinct due to three possible reasons: it is few in numbers. According to the theory of Exponential Growth Curve proposed by Malthus, a lower population tends to have a lower reproductive rate and thus a higher risk of going extinct; or a species is threatened by changing environment. A species which fail to adapt a new environment by means such as mutation which creates new “fitting” genes tends to have a higher risk of going extinct; or it is affected predation parameters. In a community, defined as a group of interacting organisms sharing a populated environment, the population of a species is highly dependent on one another. If the predator population of a species is high, this can limit its reproductive rate and thus the population growth. International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is an organization which “helps the world find pragmatic solutions to our most pressing environment and development challenges.” (IUCN “About IUCN”)According to one of its reports, the endangered species is 40% of all organisms, which has reached the stage of alarm that endangered species conservation policies must be implemented in no time. ...

Type the abstract of the document here. The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] 2012 Nishant Aishwarya Roll Number - 26 Introduction Wildlife includes all non-domesticated plants, animals and other organisms. Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet, and has a major impact on the environment, both positive and negative. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that wildlife around the world is impacted by human activities. Humans have historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways including the legal, social, and moral sense. This has been a reason for debate throughout recorded history. Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the natural environment has provoked activists to protest the exploitation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment. Literature has also made use of the traditional human separation from wildlife. Foods, Pets, Traditional Medicine:...

...SOX Summary Jason Garrett LAW/421 1/12/2014 Instructor: JANE SCHNEIDER The Securities and Exchange Commission was created to hold companies accountable for reporting their current state of financial information on a statement to give the market and investors a snap shot of the company health. This basic legislation of 1933-1934 Securities Act was very basic when you fast forward six or several decades later since that Act there were legislation drafted twice one in 70’s and in the other in the early 90’s. They were introduce to improve on the Securities Acts of ’33 and ‘34 to curt tail newly created unethical practices the rear their head over the course of time but with no new legislative to combat it when it occurred there was no way to control them either. These drafts of new financial regulations were created to add on to the previous Acts to control these new and various forms fraud, falsifying and manipulations by corporations. The draft act of ‘70 did not see the day of light but the one draft in the ‘90s almost made it but was pulled at the last minute and boy that was the one that could have changed what would later change the course of financial history. Unfortunately these legislatives never passed mainly due to the climate in the mid-nineties when making money was so easy from loading up corporations, dotcoms and startups, no one from CEO’s to most politicians did not want more financial regulations. In the late 90’ going into ’00, or before the Sarbanes-Oxley...

...LECTURE 1 THE KHOISAN AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT Introduction: Khoisan are historically the earliest inhabitants of Southern Africa. They dominated Southern Africa for hundreds of years before the arrival of the Bantu groups. Archaeological evidence obtained from sites on the West Coast such as Kasteelberg show occupation by herders between 1600 and 1800 years ago, ie around 200-400AD They owed to a great extent their livelihood to the natural environment conditions which obtained. This is demonstrated by the fact that they derived the three basic fundamentals of life; food, shelter and clothing from the flora and fauna of the region. The San They were referred to as hunter-gatherers. [Bushmen by whites; Twa by Xhosa, Roa by Sotho and San by Khoikhoi] They occupied the mountainous, plateau and coastal areas of Southern Africa as evidenced by their paintings on rocks and cave walls throughout the sub-continent. They were neither herders nor agriculturalists, so they depended on hunting and gathering. [ie they survived on what the environment provided] Archaeological evidence has proven that the San might have made meat an important part of their diet before the invention of projectile weapons. How was this possible without weapons? The San killed newly born or sick animals Ran down animals Scavenging They drove large animals over cliffs or into swamps and then slaughtered them. Meat was thus an important part of their diet from time immemorial. As their Stone Age technology improved...
