... billion-a-year industry, which processes forty billion pounds of dead animals a year. There is no such thing as a dead animal too diseased, too cancerous, or too putrid to be welcomed by the rendering plant. Another staple of the renderer's diet, in addition to farm animals, is euthanized pets- the six or seven million dogs and cats that are killed in animal shelters every year. The city of Los Angeles alone sends some two hundred tons of euthanized cats and dogs to a rendering plant every month. Added to the blend are the euthanized catch of animal control agencies, and believe it or not, roadkill! When this gruesome mix is ground and steam-cooked, the lighter, f ...

... were oppressed almost as bad as the blacks. White women were not able to vote until the 1920. Therefore colored women had a double edged sword, they had to fight for freedom, but not be to dominate as to effect the men. Alice Walker's is a good example of colored women's plight. Three obstacles black women had to overcome to be able to express themselves were Racism, the lack of education, and the stereotype that women are inferior. The book is about a black girl, Celie, who gets molested by her father and has two children. Both children are taken away and she is told they are dead. Then she gets bargained off to this man, Mr., who becomes her husband and she becom ...

... adding new words to its vocabulary for social, scientific, or artistic reasons. The scientific and artistic words do not bother these people; only the social, or slang, words do. Slang is usually created by children or teens who seek social status (Morrow 137). Because kids are the source of new slang, some adults look down on it with the assumption that kids are unintelligent and simply rebelling against established English grammar and diction. However, most of the adults did the same thing when they were children. Adults have been frowning on slang for generations (Crystal 104). Conservatives also look down upon slang because slang is not used by people of ...

... because this subject helps build good communication skills. Natural Science classes such as Biology, Chemistry, and Physics are also needed to prepare for an IT career. Another class including foreign language is a subject to consider. The most important foreign language to know is computer language such as COBOL, C++, PASCAL, and BASIC. In addition, high grades are required in those classes. If you have a poor record in high school, attending junior or community college can make up for the bad ones. Those schools also serve as excellent preparatory schools for universities (Bailey 55). Many big colleges offer Management Information Systems as a major. If on ...

... needs, I have privacy in my bedroom for sexual actives. Never really giving it much thought before, all these needs are provided to me everyday. The second stage is safety needs. This is having a sense of feeling safe and not always having to look over your shoulder. If your not feeling safe at all you may become very insecure about yourself and that can become dangerous. As far as I'm concerned, my environment is a safe place for me. I have a place and a family that has taught me rules and discipline, which will stay with me for the rest of my life. Simple rules of safety whether it be teaching a child to fend for themselves helps build character. Belongi ...

... almighty dollar. Most of the dollars we worship are actually stored in cyberspace. Dollars are just digital ones and zeros in a network of computers, but that doesn't mean they're only virtual reality, and basically one big fantasy. No, dollars are utterly and entirely real, far more real than anything as vague as the public interest. If you're not a commodity, you don't exist! Of course there are many elements of our lives that exist outside the economy. There's a lot going on in our lives that's not-for-profit and that can't be denominated in dollars. "The best things in life are free," the old saying goes. Nice old saying. Gets a little older-sounding every d ...

... support for self-directed inquirers. One role of the adult education can be stated positively as helping individuals to develop the attitude that learning is lifelong process and to acquire the skills of self-directed learning. Another ultimate need of individuals is to achieve complete self-identity. A third ultimate need of individuals is to mature. In this paper, the researcher is approaching methods to help adult learners to develop themselves with strong confidence. So it is very important to develop skills increasing adult learners through self-directness and self-efficacy. Since Brandura¡¯s (1997) original paper, self-efficacy theory has been applied in ...

... dough smooth and creamy. Do not melt them because that will make the dough too runny. Warming them in the microwave for forty-five seconds on high should be perfect. The next step is to add the dry ingredients. These are one and one- half cup of flour, one-half teaspoon salt, and one-half teaspoon of baking soda. Add the salt and the baking soda before adding the flour so it will mix more completely. All of this mixing should also be done with an electric mixer. After combining all the ingredients and mixing them until they are smooth and creamy, add the chocolate chips. It is up to the baker to decide what type of chocolate chips should be used. Most people pref ...

... and efficiency. This specialization allows an organization to do whatever it does extremely well, perhaps even better than other organizations. Used mostly by small organizations, it reduces the amount of resources required and as such is a low risk strategy. However, it ties up all of the firm's resources on a single product, service, or product line. The firm's success and growth is dependent entirely on that particular product with nothing to fall back on were that product to fail. Also, coupled with the facts that this strategy limits an organization's growth and opportunities, it can be considered a high-risk strategy as well. E.g. a company deciding to speci ...
