Let’s imagine you are on the island and you want to eat. Englishmen, as a rule, are not concentrated on food too much. They can choose to buy food in the shop and to eat at home or to go to some pub. All pubs are nearly the same. But only some restaurants in London can impress their visitors. I want to start my story about one special place that I want to visit more again and that has impressed me a lot. I would like even to work there one day if it is possible, but it ...

Like many other United States National Parks, Badlands is unique unto itself with physical attributes that when they are seen one knows it is Badlands National Park. Located in an area rich with history, the Badlands was created and founded as a national monument in 1939 by President Roosevelt before officially becoming a national park in 1978 (Steiner, 1993). The landscape of buttes, ravines, and hills found in the midst of the prairie of Southwestern South Dakota influenced the Lakota Sioux to call the area, ‘mako sica’ or ‘badlands’ (“South Dakota Legends,” 2003). The Sioux Pine Ridge reservation lies ...

INTRODUCTION

There was a time when the world was almost entirely covered by forests, marshes, mountains and rainforests however, as human societies became more and more industrialized and the population continued to grow more and more natural environments were cleared to accommodate housing needs of people, the grazing lands for animals, room for human industries, and the obtaining of natural energy resources, like coal and oil. This is a reality for many states in the United States. That being said there are many people who have never spent a single day surrounded by authentic nature. It was in the 1860s ...

Grizzly bear is a subspecies of a brown bear, which can be found in Alaska and Western Canada. Isolated populations of grizzly bears can also be found in northern Idaho, western Montana, in north-western Wyoming and North Cascade Mountains (Washington State). In all ecosystems in which grizzly bears live, they play an important role and significantly affect their functioning. Due to being omnivorous, these bears are included in the food chain at various levels. Despite the fact that the diet of this species is dominated by vegetable food, grizzly bears are the largest land predators in the territories where ...

At times, one can see many animals out in the night with their eyes glowing green or yellow-green in color. In all kinds of light and media such as nature films, photographs, flashlights and even car headlights, the greenish glow in the eyes of many animals is clearly visible. Human eyes, on the other hand, give off a red glow when exposed to the flash of a camera. The greenish glow in the eyes of many animals such as cats, dogs, deer, cattle and horses is mainly because of a special kind of reflective surface that lies behind the ...

Bovine tuberculosis (TB) refers to a chronic bacterial infection of cattle that distresses some species of mammals. It is a substantial zoonosis that may spread to humans, mainly via the consumption of unpasteurized milk or the inhalation of aerosols. In developed nations, eradication initiatives have eliminated or reduced tuberculosis in cattle. As a result, human disease is currently rare. Nevertheless, reservoirs in wildlife may cause eradication challenging. Bovine tuberculosis remains popular in underdeveloped nations, and severe economic losses may take place from livestock mortalities, trade restrictions, and chronic disease. In some circumstances, this disease can similarly be a grave ...

Botkin and Kellar (2014) describe an ecosystem as “communities of organisms and their nonliving environment in which nutrients and other chemicals cycle and energy flow.” I have chosen the forests of Pennsylvania as a holistic ecosystem to examine. Pennsylvania has approximately 17 million acres of forest, making up 59% of this State. The predominant species associations are oak/hickory in the central and southern areas and Northern hardwood (including black cherry, maple and birch) in the north and north-west (Sustaining Penn’s Woods, 2001). The vast forest area contains mature ecosystems with the aforementioned tree species as the climax species. ...

Everyone likes to be a hero, but being a hero is not a simple process. It is a journey of life from simple to complex; from simplicity to hardship and from ignorance to knowledge. For gaining real knowledge and enlightenment, the hero has to undergo many situations in which his physical abilities, his morals, values and principles are tried by the destiny. The hero’s hardship and ultimate success are portrayed in Western and Eastern Epics. Ramayana is one of the heroic epics in Sanskrit composed by ancient sage Valmiki. It is a story of high idealism and the ...

In any balanced ecological system, both the host and the microbial are more often than not controlled by very complex arrays of interaction factors. Even though stochastic and external factors contribute to individuality of the microbiota, important principles that dictate how environmental factors as well as the host genetic factors combine. This combination shapes a complex ecosystem. Nonetheless, moving of certain mammals or vertebrates into different environments on most occasions brings about a host microbial interaction. The movement to some extent has tipped the balance of the ecological system in favor of the microbial parasites (Bates et al., 2006). ...

The main focus of this paper is positioned on discussing the two most significant educational issues for teachers in Australian schools today. The paper goes further to give justifications on why the stated issues are significant to these teachers and their impact on the teachers’ practice in general.

Sherwin Bitsui experimental and daring poem “At Deer Springs” is a fascinating work of lyrical and poetic innovation and dreamlike wordplay:

“Turn signals blink through ice in the skin.Snake dreams uncoil,

burrow into the spine of books.Night spills from cracked eggs.Thin hands vein oars in a canyon bed.We follow deer tracks back to the insertion of her tongue.” The topic with which I choose to examine this poem is the conflict between nature and technology. I understand this topic to include issues as vast as the modern human experience in a globalized world, anxiety at the death of the kind of holistic, natural lifestyle that the Native Americans hold ...

Fact Sheet: Lyme disease

What is Lyme disease and how is it diagnosed? Lyme disease (LD) is a bacteria disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. The LD is an animal-borne disease (zoonotic) transmitted by certain ixodid ticks or black-legged ticks, which are commonly reported in the United States. In addition to B. burgdorferi, other related species such as B. afzelii, and B. garinii cause LD in Europe and Asia (Shapiro, 2014). The diagnosis of LD is sometimes difficult since the symptoms mimic other disorders. However, serologic tests are used in patients that have erythema migrans based on the clinical history of likely contact with ...

When people die from an unknown cause, the mind will be triggered for an investigation on the disease. It will start from gathering information about the disease.

It is a paradox story in that the same God who blessed Abraham and Sarah with the child is the same God that wants Abraham to sacrifice Isaac his child. Abraham obeys God but in the ...

Principal regions of the North American continent and the human adaptations that made social life possible in each of them

Like the other natives elsewhere, natives in North America practiced food gathering techniques, shifting seasonal subsistence and altering their diets in various regions for adaptation. The Indians in Atlanta region created open area's brushy edge habitats in the southern forests which attracted deer and other animals to better defined hunting grounds. In the forests, they used fire to drive certain game and deer in good areas where animals could easily be dispatched.

The issue of how different genders regard the treatment of animals is a very interesting one; the way in which we may or may not be hard-wired plays a crucial role in determining just how we interact with animals. The prevailing wisdom is that men treat animals more harshly than women do, and therefore hunting is much easier for them. However, the line between domesticated animals/pets and wild animals is often blurred for many, and women tend to be more predisposed to anthropomorphize and humanize animals in their minds. The differences between how men and women look at animals can be ...

During the Paleolithic Era, most of the depictions of animals oftentimes showed the animals while standing alone or in groups, or when they were in motion. In the famous Hall of the Bulls in the caves of Lascaux, France, a series of animals (bulls and other species) are seen as if they were in motion in their own natural environment (Kleiner, 2010, 7). The animal representations during this era were very real. In Cap Blanc, France, a group of horses was drawn onto a limestone surface. In this era, the focus was largely on the animals, and not on humans. This condition ...

Various people among them scholars and historians correlate holidays with the Pilgrims and Indians meeting down for a big feast. The term thanksgiving first used in the 19th century, was not popular with the Pilgrims themselves. To the Pilgrims thanksgiving was something out of religious devotion.

At the fall of 1621 the Puitan thanksgiving gathering was made to celebrate the historic superb harvest of its time (Philbrick, 2006 p 118). Winslow brings to light that the happening ...
