... accessing a larger volume of information. What the contestant is doing is simply recalling information that he acquired through the course of his studies. He need not use any type of psychological or philosophical insight; merely he needs to be able to maintain a strong memory. Still, we marvel at the man’s intellect, viewing him as a highly intelligent person, simply because he can remember things. Knowledge, therefore, can be acquired by anyone who wishes to work to contain volumes of information. Wisdom, however, is not as easily obtained as knowledge. Wisdom is the ability of the mind to scrutinize knowledge. Wisdom is what scholars, thinkers ...
... Unlike dogs, Ferrets do not bark or make other loud noises. They are generally content to lead a quiet existence. Ferrets also don't often have accidents. Even stray Ferrets generally understand the concept when shown the box and will use it regularly. Ferrets do have claws, and owners must make provision for this. A tall scratching post in a favorite Ferret area of the house will usually keep the Ferret content to leave the furniture alone. As a last resort, of course, Ferrets can be declawed. Lastly, one of the most attractive features of Ferrets as housepets is their ease of care. Ferrets do not have to be walked. They get plenty of exercise in the ho ...
... B.J.1990.page 3.) Consequently, market orientation is seen to mean 'the implementation of the marketing concept'. A brief outline of market orientation. Kotler (1994) discusses four business philosophies or orientations toward the marketplace. The production concept states that consumers will purchase those products which are available in the greatest quantity and at the lowest cost to them. Little product differentiation is apparent at this stage. The product concept states that consumers will favour goods that are superior to others in quality or features. The selling concept shifts the emphasis from the product to aggressive selling and promotio ...
... to recognise what is in our best interests or on other occasion we are the victim of our own passions and drives. There is a need for a power outside of us, a power that we do not consent to that will restrain our passions. 3. "The science of government being therefore so practical in itself, and intended for such practical purposes, a matter which requires experience, and more experience than any [one] person can gain in whole life, however intelligently and observing he may be, it is with infinite caution that any man ought to venture upon pulling down an edifice, which has answered in any tolerable degree for ages the common purposes of society, or on the bu ...
... and the upcoming General Assembly's Special Session on Drugs, is a key component of the global response to this common threat. 1997 was a good year for international drug-control efforts, particularly in the Western Hemisphere. Appreciable gains were made in crop reduction, in interdiction, in weakening trafficking syndicates, strengthening law enforcement, and in targeting drug money laundering. The year's best news came from Peru, for years the world's largest coca growing country. Three-plus years of joint efforts by U.S., Peruvian, and Colombian forces to choke off the "air bridge" that carries Peruvian cocaine base to Colombia for processing paid off hand ...
... American folklore, Santa rewards children by giving them gifts on Christmas for being good boys and girls. If the child were bad, Santa would leave a stump of coal in their stocking, (but what type of parent would do that!) Santa Clause delivers gifts by riding magical reindeer and enters houses through chimneys. Depending on parts of the world, he is also known as “Father Christmas,” “St. Nicolas,” and “Pere Noel.” The figures of Santa Clause also vary diversely, from being an elf who delivers gifts in shoes, to a saint who died in A.D. 300 Christmas originated in the Bible under a story of three wise men and a sacred child born in a manger. This ...
... required in the ten commandments. There are certain things that the Jews are forbidden to do on Shabbat. Any work that is creative is restricted in Jewish law. Plowing, baking, weaving, trapping, building, tying, kindling a fire, and hitting with a hammer are all tasks not to be done on Shabbat. Rabbis have also prohibited travel, buying and selling, electricity, and the use of the automobile on Shabbat. Preparing for the Shabbat begins about 2pm on Friday afternoon. People leave work early to go home and prepare for Shabbat. Shabbat officially begins at sunset. Candles are lit and a blessing is recited. The ritual, performed by the women of the house, ...
... The growth rate of Mexico is the result of its traditionally high birth rate, and its sharply reduced death rate. Many more people are being born, than dying. This causes a great increase in population each year. Since the 1930's, improved living conditions and expanded health services has cut the death rate by more than half, thus causing the population to increase every year since the 1940's. Perhaps now the Government's only chief problem is trying to provide housing , jobs, and schools for the rapidly increasing population. Therefore the government has tried to tell people to limit the amount kids they have (although no law has been placed under act.) ...
... Tennis, Cross-Country, Rodeo, Golf, Baseball and Volleyball. Each of these surveys required the athletes to write down what they ate over a 5-day period and also asked various questions regarding their nutritional habits. Overall, the results tended to support my hypothesis (as there were many factors of the diet that were analyzed) that various improvements could be made to the diet of athletes to enhance their performance. This research project is one that brought great interest to me, as I am a student athlete myself and I also hold a strong interest in the field of Nutrition. After I graduate I hope to complete further study and gain my masters in Nutrition. ...
... 25 percent of mammals and amphibians, 20 percent of reptiles, and 11 percent of birds are threatened with extinction. Another 5 to 14 percent of species in these groups are "nearing threatened status." "The leading cause of vertebrate declines is human destruction of old growth forests, wetlands, chaparral, and other rich habitats," Worldwatch reports. "Worldwide, over two-thirds of the earth's habitable land surface has been significantly disturbed by human activities. Nearly half of the world's 233 primate species are threatened, largely because of their dependence on large expanses of tropical forest, a habitat under siege around the globe. In hotspots of fores ...
