Oliceracea Research Paper

Danielle Hart THEA 317 Research Paper October 26, 2014 Aristophanes’ Lysistrata and Greek Women The Greeks played a major role within theatre. They used it not just as entertainment but as a way to reinforce their society’s values. Women were not allowed on stage yet during this time. They also were treated very differently than men in society in general.

Over the next forty years, global population is expected to reach nine billion people. This increase in population, combined with expected economic growth, will cause an increase in food demanded and inevitably drain the resources we use for food production. So far, agriculture has been able to respond positively to the rising demand for crop and livestock products. However, farmers are already faced with many new challenges associated with feeding an expanding global population. Farmers must now meet strict new emissions requirements and produce more food on fewer acres while minimizing their environmental footprint. The demand for food is expected to grow substantially in the next couple decades. Some of the factors affecting an increase in food demands are population growth, rising incomes of individuals, food supply factors, and biofuels.

I am originally from a small city in the middle of Florida named Ocala. It is a family friendly city locate approximately an hour away from the beach both on the East or the West side of Florida. I spent my first eight years growing up playing on the beaches, catching lizards, and going over to friend's houses. Ocala has a strong sense of Southern hospitality and the mindset that you should always help your neighbors. Growing up in this community taught me a lot about being polite to your elders, caring about everyone, to listen the first time, and how to cook some of the best cobbler ever. I'm very proud of being raised with Southern mannerisms that set me apart for the current trend of people who only thinking about themselves. I'm thankful

I, Edmond Smith, declare the following statements to be true. I've known Steven Oliva since 2005. Steven Oliva is very gifted in many areas: computer technician, videographer, and car repair, and playing the drums. He's helped me fix my car many times. He would often work on my car without wanting to be paid, but I paid him a little anyways, because I did not want to take advantage of him. He has also helped fix my computer many times for free. I have seen Steven help fix his mother and brother's cars as well without expecting to be paid. Steven is a focused, determined, hard worker and sacrifices eating until the job is done. Steven is good at thinking outside of the box, and solves problems easily, where others struggle, he excels.

Oma Else was first and foremost my grandmother. That’s all I ever knew of her and, more importantly, that’s all I ever cared to know growing up. At first, she was the grandmother I would always see for Thanksgiving, along with Opa Dave. I’d see her in the summer, too. Then she became the grandmother who’d come for Christmas. She would appear for performances and graduations, too. And then she was gone. Those are the memories I have of her. They are lovely, fond memories, but they do not represent most of my life.

My name is Adelaido Olea, I'm an illustrator from Chicago and a avid sport fan, I've seen your work on ESPN and have been inspired by it, I have couple questions regarding the field of illustration, is there any advice you would give to someone entering the field? perhaps maybe something you wish someone mentioned to you when starting? What might a typical career path be in this industry? and lastly what is most rewarding about working in the illustration field?

Lysistrata asks the women of Greece to join her in an effort to end the Peloponnesian War. The younger women will tempt their man with sexy clothes and suggestive speaking only to then deny them sex. The older women, Chorus of Older Women, are to seize the Acropolis, where all the money of the city-state resides. A Spartan Herald approaches the Acropolis and describes the desperate situation of his countrymen and pleads for a treaty. Delegations from both states then meet at the Acropolis to discuss peace. Lysistrata reasons that because both Athens and Sparta are of a common heritage and because they have previously helped one another and owe a debt to one another, the two sides should not be fighting. The Spartan and Athenian leaders decide

This has already occurred with the disease Ug99 otherwise known as wheat stem rust. A type of bacterial fungus such as Ug99 spreads rapidly and is currently affecting crops all throughout Africa and the Middle East (FAO). With rapidly rising populations, this disease is a contributing factor to many country’s current hunger issues. Due to the lack of food biodiversity, this disease has spread rapidly and is highly possible to spread to our own crops in North America (BBC Horizon). Charles Siebert presented the reader with a solution that has been practiced for decades, but is recently becoming a trend in agriculture.

The US is the land of opportunity so you can’t put limits on yourself. I was reading a story about a gentleman, Ooceeh Afame who was a salve in Nigeria but now he is in the US, graduated from the University of La Vern and became a Doctor, one of the highest achieved statues. He faced obstacles in the process like many men and women of all backgrounds do and getting used to the dominant cultural norm. If you work hard, dedicate yourself and approach your situation with an open mind, you will succeed. Everyone has their own opinion of what success is, for someone it could be a career and being wealthy, for others having a family, and yet for others it’s simply being with their family and loved one's feeling safe. I believe if you try hard enough

Olinda was founded in 1535 by the portuguese that ruled part of brazil at that time. Before Brazil became an independent country Olinda was once the capitol.

As the soil becomes more and more polluted with these toxins, it becomes unsustainable. Therefore, land that would have remained fertile for centuries through the commonsense farming of our ancestors, is being ruined by farming controlled by big corporations whose sole interest is in immediate short term profit (Goodall 38). Industrialized livestock farming with thousands of animals crammed into small factory spaces is responsible for numerous bacterial and viral infections such as E.coli., Avian bird flu, Mad cow disease, Salmonella, and many more. Therefore, conventional farmers use antibiotics to keep these animals alive. This over use of antibiotics is causing the creation of new, resistant strains of deadly diseases that kill people and animals. Disease is actually caused by the bad practices, shortcuts, and antibiotic resistance. This has the opposite effect of what was intended and also costs farmers millions of dollars every year instead of saving money. Unfortunately, conventional agriculture experts recommend these monocultural farming practices in the name of quick, mass production.

The current model of the global agriculture industry causes a host of environmental problems and social problems, both in developed countries and in the developing world, and while there are certain economic advantages to industrialized farming there are also major drawbacks and inefficiencies (Bacon et al, 2012; Leder, 2012). Sustainable farming practices are becoming more prevalent in some regions and have demonstrated a limited ability to correct some of the damages and inefficiencies caused by industrial farming, however these solutions are not at all widespread nor are they truly viable on a competitive market level (Bavec et al, 2011; Mincyte, 2011). A combination of past and present solutions to agricultural issues will be used at Greenhouse Organics, bringing the scale and market reach of industrial agriculture to the local level in a manner that is more environmentally and socially sustainable by enabling year-round growing of all products almost anywhere in the world.

In recent years broccoli has gained a lot of popularity in the nutrition world. These beautiful green florets are packed with amazing nutrients and healthy compounds. Broccoli is a part of cruciferous vegetable family as are cauliflower, cabbage and Brussels sprouts. Its low calorie, high fiber content and presence of essential vitamins makes it a potent therapeutic agent.

In our society one of the most prevalent problems facing the human race is the future of food, how we plan to sustain the bodies of our future generation. Many corporations have already started to genetically modify food so that they can be able to return more of a profit or grow bigger, better crops. They also commonly use pesticides and other chemicals in the process of growing their crops to better benefit their business plan. However, since these corporations have been so focused on gaining the upper hand in the industry many of them have thrown old methods of farming out the door there has been much debate over whether or not these crops are truly better for the human body. Another major concern over new farming methods and the advances in agricultural technology is if these corporations can destroy the many ecosystems of our earth just to be able to one up the competition. This is a pressing matter due to the fact that as stated by Usman Chohan, who is involved in finding sustainable agriculture methods for the future and was invited to Pakistan Agricultural Research Council site at Fatehjang to analyze their sustainability initiative “sustainable solutions are at the heart of our efforts to satiate our developmental needs whilst minimizing our ecological footprint in the years to come.” (Chohan, 2014). My question that I will be investigating is, how can agricultural processes of today be altered to be more environmentally sustainable yet still

Agriculture is one of the major sector becoming vulnerable to climate-change. Increased incidences of abiotic and biotic stresses are likely to cause serious negative impact on crop production. Abiotic stress is defined as the negative impact of non-living factors on the living organisms in a specific environment. The non-living variable must influence the environment beyond its normal range of variation to adversely affect the performance or individual organism in a significant way. This leads to decrease in the productivity by more than 50% in major crop plants which are growing word wide (Bray et al., 2000). Increased water stress, reduction in rainfall and increased air temperature are the major reasons for yield decline in wheat and paddy crops in many parts of South Asia. The average increase in temperature per decade is measured to be 0.28 ºC over land and 0.12 ºC over ocean and predicted that it is likely to rise further to a maximum of 2.5 ºC by 2050 and 5.8 ºC by 2100 (Jones et al., 1999; Grover et al., 2011). The principal abiotic stresses in India are drought or soil moisture stress, high temperatures, soil salinity/alkalinity, low pH and metal toxicity stresses that affect nearly two-thirds area forming parts of the arid and semi arid eco systems (Grover et al., 2011).
