Narrative revision Adjacent to the tall city wall of Mora, there is an isolated nest sewed with care and appears to be extraordinary in the sense that rain and strong winds do not interfere with its position or stricture. In its separate location, there lives a bird that every day, seems to mind no one’s business due to the belief that the community placed it. Pinora could fly above the tallest buildings all a lot every day throughout the year with nobody to associate. And, this became its normal life but always thought of something better in the future. Mora is a city that is surrounded by a 40 feet perimeter wall with tall buildings; many animals that engage in different activities to ensure the growth and maintenance of the town. Within this town, the population was increasing rapidly, and this brought worries to the community in general. However, finding a solution for the situation was difficult as every individual was locked within the walls due to some historical narrations connected to beyond the wall. That is, back in the…

The four subsistence patterns of food foraging, pastoralism, horticulture, and agriculture The four subsistence patterns of food foraging, pastoralism, horticulture, and agriculture are quite different.  A food forager is a hunter- gather (a person who hunts and gathers their food from the wild). Before 10,000 years ago foraging was the only way of life, and still exists today in some societies. The Jo-hoansi people of Namibia, the Agta people of The Phillipines, and the Mardu people of Australia still practice foraging today (Haviland et al, 2013). With foraging, there is do division of labor. Woman work beside men, sometimes hunt bigger animals as well. What determines who will do the job is based on how complicated or difficult the job is, not by the gender of the person. They do not raise animals to eat, they only have animals for pets (usually dogs), or to aid them in hunting (Haviland et al, 2013). Pastoral societies are nomadic or transhumance people that rely on domesticated animals during their travels, for food. The nomadic people do not stay in one place, but…

Effects of Industrial Agriculture on the environment Introduction With the advancement and the sophistication of technology in the present world, agricultural production has also taken on the path of embracing technology. Most farmers across the globe now are practicing industrial agricultural production. The use of industrial agriculture has had some benefits to both the consumers and the farmers. Industrial agriculture is reliable because of its cheaper food production. The use of biotechnology in industrial agriculture has led to increased availability of food products at relatively low prices.  Again, the shelf-life of the produced foods is elongated by the use of modern food preservation methods that increases their economic value.  Farmers are no longer affected by seasons due to the application greenhouse farming and irrigation which reduces the effects of seasonal weather changes. Due to the advanced food production and processing methods of the industrial agriculture, there has been reduced time for the food products to reach the destination market. Industrial farming has caused more harm to the environment and the farmer’s food production than it has helped to alleviate the…

 changing a personal diet The idea of changing a personal diet for most people represents a positive move towards living a healthy life. Much of the discussion arises from the food consumed by individuals that affects overall health and risk for certain diseases. Biological researchers believe that for one to eat healthier food, it is essential to change some of the daily habits. However, one does not have to make huge changes to eat healthier. One crucial change to my diet is taking more of fruits and veggies in a move that will help in reducing the risk of developing particular diseases (Alissa and Ferns 7). According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, “vegetables and fruits at every meal should fill half of a plate.” Besides, previous reports have shown that fruits and veggies are rich in minerals, vitamins, and fiber, and therefore, one is less likely to get high blood pressure, heart disease, and some cancers. Another significant change to personal diet is choosing better fats through cutting back on animal-based foods like bacon, butter, and untrimmed meats.…

REF: VIEWS CONCERNING CONSERVATION OF ENVIRONMENT Dear I am writing this letter to you to share my views about forest and water conservation. Nowadays, deforestation has become our serious matter of problem in most part of the world. People do cut down trees anyhow without minding what the consequences it can cause in future. As we all know, deforestation causes a lot of harm to both human beings and the environment. Some of the effects of deforestation are: climate change, soil erosion, loss of biodiversity, water cycle among others. So, as for me I don’t see any reason for you to oppose about conservation. It is important for us as human beings to conserve and take care of our environment. The importance of conserving our environment can be of great benefits both to us and the plants. Environmental conservation brings importance to agriculture. When human being lives, they depend on agriculture, and agriculture depends on environment. So it is important to conserve our environment through preventing soil erosion, desertification, flooding among others. Human activities also impact the climate, since drought,…

how epidemics and disease influenced the settler society in Canada before 1900 The indigenous people of the Americas came into contact with European settlers at around the 15th century. As a consequence, they came into contact with individuals with different customs, religions, and diseases. This encounter resulted in the wiping of so many indigenous populations just in a short period – decades. Many studies have been conducted to examine how the settler society was affected by these diseases. Some studies have demonstrated that some of these diseases continue to affect even modern-day populations. Also, other studies have suggested that most of these diseases, for example, measles, tuberculosis, and smallpox that were brought by the Europeans, have molded the immune system of the settler society in Canada – even in their genetic makeup. Today, I am going to focus on how these epidemics and disease influenced the settler society in Canada before 1900. The infectious disease subject among the indigenous populations of Canada is central to Canadian history. Modern Canada was an area that was settled by the Europeans. Then indigenous…

It was built back in 1914 and it was a city owned property and its main purpose was to facilitate the movement of lime, leather, lumber and agriculture products.

The decision to prepare a mitigated negative declaration on the Santa Cruz Wharf is justified under the CEQA as it may be compared to EIR. The California Environmental Quality Act…
