The manual also suggests places to hide away from the public view such as caves, rocky areas, or nest boxes. It is suggested that a disinfectant and fungicide is used when cleaning the holdings and exhibits, with frequent hosing or timer set sprinklers used to prevent accumulation of fecal on the substrate. The substrate needs to be variable to avoid foot issues. They suggest a variety of substrates throughout the exhibit and holding areas like concrete and pebbles. Concrete can be abrasive and promote bumblefoot, so placing mats down has been shown to help. No matter the substrate chosen, it needs to be easily cleaned and disinfected. For the safety of the penguins, a fence barrier should be placed two feet into the ground in an ‘L’ shape inwards to prevent them from digging or burrowing out. A barrier of glass or acrylic between the penguins and guests should also be maintained at all times.
Banding/Identification
AZA Penguin Taxon Advisory Group (2014) recommends an identification system such as a color coded

This will also help reintroduction back into the colony as it is recommended that it be done as group. A “howdy” cage can be used at first, followed be gradually allowing them to have supervised time together.
Enrichment
AZA Penguin Taxon Advisory Group (2014) suggests a complex exhibit with lots of features such as water jets, wave machines, and bubbles in the water. Land features should include rocks that have ledges, alcoves, or caves. Other enrichment suggested included a sprinkler, keeper play, relocation of food pans, ice cubes, and boomer balls. Browse can also be offered as long as it is a species that is safe in case of ingestion. Operant training can be used as a form of enrichment as they respond to routines.
Larson’s, The Devil in the White City, recounts a defining time period for America. Larson sheds light on the ageless conflict: Good v.s. Evil, as he recounts the events that took place at the fair that changed America. With America falling behind in global dominances and its need to strive, Daniel Burnham tries to successfully construct the Chicago World's fair and hopes it will spark the turn of the century. As Burnham tries to builds up the White City, and while H. H. Holmes flourished in the dominant Black City, Larson takes the reader on a tour of both cities. As Holmes lives in the shadows of the Black City, he successfully murders many people without any suspicion. Holmes’s ability to manipulate, his charisma, and his bravado marks
In BrickLAB Zoo, students learn about the incredible adaptations of animals all over the globe. Every day of camp, they’ll camouflage with chameleons or shake claws with lobsters as they use the BrickLAB bricks to build different animals and immerse themselves in all the ecosystems the world has to offer. From the science of how a camel’s hump helps it survive in harsh deserts to the complicated languages of monkeys, each animal’s adaptation is essential for survival in a particular environment. These traits are the key to the questions that come up as students design and build their own zoo. From the tallest Himalayan peaks to the deepest parts of the ocean, with BrickLAB Zoo, it’s the student’s time to answer the call of the wild.
For my report I will write about Pogona, otherwise referred to as the bearded dragon. These harmless reptiles are mostly found in Australia in ridged rocky regions. They enjoy climbing and can be found up on high rocks or on branches of trees. They are also typically found in dessert regions of Australia chilling on tree stumps and rocks. For pet dragon you will want a habitat that has a heat source on one side to keep it warm if needed and a small place to hide and climb on. They will also obviously need a shallow dish for food and water purposes.
In his article "Making the Grade," Kurt Wiesenfeld presents a problem regarding the ethical value of grades in modern society. A physics professor, Wiesenfeld opens the article by making the "rookie error" of being in his "office the day after final grades were posted." (paragraph 1) Several students then attempt to influence him to change their grades for the class. What concerns Wiesenfeld is that many of his more recent students consider a grade to be a negotiable commodity rather than accept the grade as an accurate representation of efforts and performance and how much they learned. The author indicates that part of this
As a trainer, teacher and assessor my roles are many and varied. As part of my day to day work I may not only deliver lessons but also carry out theory assessments, practical assessments and sometimes interviews. I may have to motivate and liaise as well as guide and assess. I will have to keep records and be a subject specialist as well as liaise internally and impart information and advice sometimes on a personal level. The first impact I play regarding my role is either interviewing possible candidates or meeting and greeting them on the first day of their course. Meeting potential apprentices/apprentices on their first day induction requires me to make a good
Rock and roll has many influences that evolved it into what it is today. Blues had a significant influence on the development of the music, as well as some classical ideas of the solo performer. Through these influences, rock and roll was born.
Here's a letter that dares not let Mayor Jack L Publice off the hook. It's all here: the compromises, the backstabbing, the attempts to hold annual private conferences in which flagitious pissants are invited to present their “research”. My hope is that the following text will delight the critical and offer food for thought to those contemplating his cankered calumnies. He sees no reason why he shouldn't galvanize the beggarly herd into enthusiastically supporting his misinformed squibs. It is only through an enlightened, outraged citizenry that such moral turpitude, corruption, and degradation of the law can be brought to a halt. So, let me enlighten and outrage you by stating that Mayor Publice uses the word “hyperconscientiousness” without ever having taken the time to look it up in the dictionary. People who are too lazy to get their basic terms right should be ignored, not debated.
Samuel Beckett’s Molloy is divided into two parts. The first part begins with the narrator, Molloy, who is being driven to write for an unknown reason and by an unknown person. At the end of the first paragraph, Molloy says: “Here is my beginning” (Beckett 8). Molloy's account of "what happens" isn't organized as a narrative; in a way; Molloy is Beckett's portrait of what would happen if someone who didn't tell stories was compelled to tell one. He begins not even with the pseudo-quest of going to see his mother but with some observations of two people, A and C. From there, he tells of the pleasures of being on his bicycle, which he says he will not call a bike. It is after these accounts that he reveals a fraught relationship with his mother;
Adult males should never be housed together due to aggression that may occur. Fighting between males can lead to severe injuries that can be avoided with separation. Injured and sick animals should also always be caged alone, and when they are re-introduced, they need to be monitored in-case they are not welcomed back by the group (Lemm et al., 2010).
The topic of Islamophobia is still a taboo for some people because they don’t want to admit that a form of discrimination is rapidly growing and is not truly frowned upon by most people. The truth is, is that Islamophobia is a big deal that most Americans won’t bring up. A good portion of our current Presidential candidates have the fear of Muslims. This shows that a good portion of the country is having the same discriminatory feelings that people had during the Civil Rights movement.
To improve the education aspect of the sanctuary, especially for kids, there are a few simple tactics that LPKS can apply. In fact, the presentations and shows can be presented in a simpler language and at a slower pace making it easy for kids to understand. Additionally, as children attention span is relatively short, without interactive activities it is difficult to keep them concentrated. Thus, it is recommended that the presentations become more interactive such as by asking kids simple questions and give them small gift. Furthermore, signs can be re-designed to be more attractive and readable for kids, encouraging them to read information about animals (appendix K). On top of that, transparent barrier should be built for young children
There he was, sitting at a soulless lunch table, munching on his sandwich, wondering why he stuck out as someone peculiar to others. Watching the other children laugh and share jokes his heart melted with sorrow, but he held onto the tears that were ready to escape, like a river is ready to plunge down the waterfall. Knowingly not wanting to bring in attention, even though he felt invisible. 62.5% of 8th grade students at Cooper Middle school came clean, expressing their sorrow about struggling to find friends at some point in their lifetime.
The conflict of this story discusses the battle between Mrs. Mallard's conscience and how she should feel about her husband’s death. A normal person would feel grief for a loved one's death, but in "The Story of an Hour", Mrs. Mallard been paralyzed and does not know how to feel about it. This has been because she’s been imprisoned by her husband. When he died in a train accident she was free of him. The "joy that kills" at the end of the short story may refer to that. The elixir of life symbolizes the very essence of what life is. At first her sister and her friend didn’t knew how to tell her, because of her heart condition. When the news of the death of her husband reach her, she starts to see
When I first got accepted into Stuyvesant High School, I heard countless of rumors stating: “Oh the workload is terrible”, “The competition is so fierce” or “Out of schoolwork, extracurriculars, or sleep: you can only pick two.” I found it hard to let it faze me, since I graduated from one of the most prestigious middle schools. However, the rumors transformed into reality when I stepped into Mr. Nieves’ Freshman Composition Class. The workload at the beginning of the year was brutal, coupled with assignments from other core classes that seem unaware of the workload of other teachers. Reading assignments were a regular, and there were journal entries and occasional quizzes to keep us in line. What made it bearable was the friends I made in that class; everyone had their own opinion about the topic we were talking about, and listening to other perspectives really broadened my horizon and enriched my learning experience in Stuy. Another thing that this class has taught me is the importance of time management, a skill that I will carry on for the rest of my high school career and life. When I choose to sign up for Mr. Nieves’ AP American Literature class in my Junior Year, I was hoping to relive the discussion-based lesson plans and meet more outstanding peers. I was not disappointed, to say the least, reflecting through all the experiences at the end of the course. The lesson plans he laid out for us were an interesting mix between small lectures and class output, and what I
“Zoos try to make the animal’s enclosure as interesting as possible. One way of doing this is through ENVIRONMENTAL ENRICHMENT. Enrichment is the use of novel objects or ideas to increase the natural behaviour of the animals. Different objects and methods are used for different animals.” (1)
