... with a dog, a Ferret can be trained to avoid unwanted behavior or perform tricks. Ferrets will even fetch! In the second place, Ferrets are civilized members of the household. Unlike dogs, Ferrets do not bark or make other loud noises. They are generally content to lead a quiet existence. Ferrets also don't often have accidents. Even stray Ferrets generally understand the concept when shown the box and will use it regularly. Ferrets do have claws, and owners must make provision for this. A tall scratching post in a favorite Ferret area of the house will usually keep the Ferret content to leave the furniture alone. As a last resort, of course, Ferrets can be decla ...

... name to his wife and children. Today, the United States exhibits a pattern of attachments and disruptions in marriages and family structure, including single-parent families and such high rates of divorce that are certainly stressful for nation's developing children and adolescents, leading the American family and the nation's future to a state of crisis. It is starling that whether through their parents' divorce or never having been married, every other American child spends part of his or her childhood in a single-parent family. The increase in the proportion of children living with just one parent has strongly affected large number of children. By the time they ...

... This type of experimentation involves that neither the doctors nor the patients know if they are receiving the real “stuff” or simply sugar pills (placebos). Only the experimenters know who gets what. What this supposedly does is that the patient will mentally think that the doctor is giving him/her the real drug and they will soon be feeling better. When in reality, it is themselves, not the medicine, which makes them feel better. These are the findings of Dr. Brown. In his experiments on the placebos, he found that the placebo can make a person feel better, but it can also have no effect what-so-ever. In his study of the depressed ...

... been driving, I have encountered some crazy . The first hotshot driver I saw, was actually two teens who were drag racing down the streets going ninety mph or faster. While they were racing, one of the two cars was actually driving on the opposite lane. Other experiences I have encountered were a high performance bike that was weaving in and out of cars just because he didn’t want to stop. This biker was going real fast for what he was doing he reminded me of a cop chasing a robber movie of just how fast the bike was going. Another example of a hotshot driver is they love to push or blow a stop sign or light. What I mean by push is that, they creep far ...

... becoming more of a necessity than ever to higher education. Universities make it clear that computers are crucial for success. This is demonstrated by the ever-growing number of course web pages, and increasing use of student e-mail. Computers also facilitate communication in large lecture halls where sometimes students find it impossible to talk with their professors. E-mail has become the most efficient way by which teachers and students interact. However, one can argue that e-mail is an artificial substitute for student-teacher contact. After all we did come to college to get an education from superior individuals in their subject area. E-mail seems to defe ...

However, like many new consumer products, prepaid phone cards are not trouble free. Prepaid phone cards originated in Europe in the late 1970's as a method of reducing vandalism of pay phones and are widely used overseas. In the United States, prepaid phone cards hit the market in the early 1990's, mainly as promotional items.

... grain, or the shell, has turned soft. The goal for germination is for the starches within the grain to break down into shorter lengths. At this shorter length stage, the grain is called green malt. Kilning is the next stage after the grains have sprouted. Kilning is the process of drying the grain in the kiln where the temperature is slowly raised during the 30-35 hour period. After kilning, the result is finished malt, with soluble starches and developed enzymes. These grains each have a different and distinct flavor depending on how long they are cooked in the kiln. (Porter) After the malting, the grain is ready for milling. Milling is the cracking, and crushin ...

... education in mathematics, physics and chemistry. The studies begin with a two-year basic study program in the PREMIER CYCLE, which is comprised of general science courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics and computer science. These courses are also complimented with courses in the Liberal Arts. The students who pass the first and second year exams are admitted to the Engineering Departments where they continue their studies for three additional years. This enables the students to specialize in nearly all the different engineering sciences: computer studies, mechanics, physics, chemistry and biochemistry. One original aspect of the INSAs is that, the ...

... Canadians are hit with a whole other value system not of our own, saying it’s okay to fight to solve our differences. The second aspect of the social identity is sports. This is quite financially the one factor that affects everyone. Every Monday night during the summer and on Sundays, the Fox network broadcasts the NFL. How many Canadians would rather watch the Tiger Cats and Argos battle, when they can watch the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots play some football and then to watch the cheerleaders? All of them, practically. In summary, this apparent coca-colonization of the Canadian social identity is on the uprise of one specific medium, the medium. ...
