Hatching

INTRODUCTION The chicken industry of Alberta has been around for many years now. Over 300 farms in Alberta are dedicated purely for the production of table eggs, that is the eggs you can buy in the grocery stores. Over the past decades the general way to raise and house these laying chickens has virtually been unchanged. A recent documentary in the province of Alberta broadcasted by the TV program "W5" showed a biased view of the way the chickens are housed. This has become a large issue for many

Habitat: The most common habitat that the Southern Cassowary is located in, is tropical rainforests. This is because it requires an abundance of fleshy fruit for nutrition and ease of access to these fruits. More necessities for habitation include steady water supply and shelter, and locations available for nesting. These three contributors as well as other minorities are the reason that the Southern Cassowary lives in this sort of environment. Further studies show that Cassowaries are more abundant

In the class Drawing 101: Composition and Media, I have learned new skills that relate to my major, interior design. Drawing 101 has taught me numerous techniques of fine art. These techniques are what determine artists and designers to be professionally trained. By being professionally trained, clients have a higher likelihood to hire a certain artist or designer. This is due to the fact that the designer knows a greater amount of information for the job. In this class I have learned how to gesture

Polyandry is a common way many amphibians reproduce, and benefits the participating species in several ways and can lead to the increased fitness of offspring. This type of matting also affects parental care of amphibians. It was previously thought that there was very little parental care involved in the upbringing of an amphibian, but this is not the case. Upon closer study, it was discovered that amphibians display a large variety of behaviors to protect their eggs and offspring. Parental care

should cycle for a few weeks prior to introducing axolotls into their new home so filter bacteria develop (Look, 2007). Biology Neoteny Axolotls have a neotenic nature which means they do not undergo metamorphosis and stay in the larval state their entire lives (Jolles, 2013). The adaptation of neoteny is often referred to as a “backward step in evolution” since it prevents axolotls from living on land like other salamanders (Clare, 1999). All salamanders are born in water, but only some stay while

I chose Roses and Birds Number 5 by Kiki Smith as my western piece and for my non-western piece I chose a Spanish Colonial piece called Ornaments. I was originally drawn to Roses and Birds Number 5 because of the thin lines, the flowers, and how its fragility added an aura of femininity. Upon closer inspection of the art, I appreciated the artist’s use of Nepalese paper as her canvas. Unlike Kiki Smith’s piece, I wasn’t immediately drawn to Ornaments. The metal, while shiny, looked cold and hard

Humanity’s capacity for all types of violence – wanton, revolutionary, productive, vengeful, et cetera – has been a focus of artists during every epoch of human history. Francisco Goya’s The Mob (part of his series The Disasters of War) and Käthe Kollwitz’s Uprising, both prints, deal with human violence in the context of reaction to adversity. Goya’s work shows the effects of Napoleon’s oppressive rule over the people of Spain in the early nineteenth century, while Kollwitz’s art deals with the

The MNAC museum in Barcelona Spain is the house to National art of Cataluña. After many locations holding what you can find at the museum today, the The Palau National, was finally housed the Museum Catalonian Art in 1934. After Museum Laws passed in 1990 by the Catalan Government, the MNAC was declared a national museum. The building was then refurbished based on plans drawn up by the architects Gae Aulenti and Enric Steegmann in1992, with an official inauguration on December 16th, 2004. Today

Peacock cichlids are among the most preferred cichlids to reproduce recently due to their decorative appeal. Like the charm of peacock birds, the natural appearance and engaging colours of these kind of cichlids, scientifically called aulonocara, have been admired by most hobbyists. Between the males and females, the previous are rather more decorative, that might at last be brighter once they reach sexual maturity. The females are occasionally subdued, colors starting from silver to brownish gray

Assessing the efficacy of direct conservation interventions: clutch protection of the leatherback marine turtle in the Dominican Republic Introduction Illegal egg take is a worldwide threat to the leatherback marine turtle. It affects existing and future sex ratios of the baby turtles, makes physical changes to existing habitats, and drastically changes the population dynamics the leatherback population. Numerous studies have been done to determine what specific effects illegal take has on the
