Zoos and Animal Welfare (Issues That Concern You) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Z oos have evolved over time from symbols of power and pres-tige of the early rulers, to institutions for education andresearch, to powerful businesses, and ultimately to a beacon ofhope in a world facing alarming rates of extinction. Yet to some,zoos have always been and continue to be prisons where other-wise healthy animals waste away inside depressing enclosures, fac-ing a lifetime of neglect. These critics will need a lot of convinc-ing to believe that zoos can be beneficial to animals. People canlearn more about the fears of critics and the future of zoos by trac-ing their evolution over time.History of ZoosWild animals have been displayed in captivity for thousands ofyears. According to most sources the first known zoos were largecollections of animals assembled in Egypt around 2500 B.C. Exoticwild animals were captured on expeditions, then displayed in cap-tivity by early rulers as symbols of wealth and power. In 1500 B.C.Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt built a zoo, and about five hundredyears later the Chinese emperor Wen Wang constructed theGarden of Intelligence—an enormous zoo that sprawled over 1,500acres (607ha). Later many smaller zoos were founded by rulers innorthern Africa, India, and China to show off the strength andriches of the current regime.Studies also show that the Romans kept wild animals in cap-tivity and sent them into battle in bloody public spectacles. Lions,bears, elephants, and other creatures were forced to fight to thedeath in public arenas to the cheers and shouts of onlookers.The birth of the modern zoo did not happen until 1828, whenthe London Zoo dedicated itself to the study of captive wildlifein London. The success of the London Zoo set off a wave of sim-ilar establishments, including the first zoological garden in7INTRODUCTIONMelbourne, Australia, and the New York City Zoo. In 1889 theU.S. Congress established the National Zoo for the purpose ofbreeding native wildlife
Punishment and Democracy: Three Strikes and You're Out in California (Studies in Crime and Public Policy X) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The “Three strikes and you’re out” legislation adopted in Californiain 1994, was, at the same time, typical of recent American penalpolicy and decidedly unique. It is typical because of its orientation(long and mandatory terms of imprisonment), its devotion to sym-bolic gestures and slogans, and its willingness to displace discretionwith binding general commitments to particular punishments. TheCalifornia version was only 1 of 26 laws with that label passed in athree-year period during the 1990s, and the Three Strikes approachwas only 1 of many punitive reforms of the 1990s.What sets California’s law apart from the other Three Strikes lawsand every other penal law innovation of recent times is the extremityof its terms and the revolutionary nature of its ambitions. This statutewas drafted by outsiders to have the maximum possible impact oncriminal punishments. Whereas most penal laws are designed todeliver less drastic changes than they advertise—to bark louder thanthey bite—the California statute was designed to operate even morebroadly than its specialized title would suggest. It was a law de-signed to bite louder than it barked.The origin and impact of this legislation would have been an im-portant subject no matter which state had adopted it, but the settingfor the new law provided an even more compelling case for a majorstudy. The state of California is one of the largest criminal justice sys-tems in the free world. Its prisons and jails held almost a quarter of amillion inmates before the new law took effect. The California prisonsystem had grown more than fivefold in the 14 years prior to ThreeStrikes and already was larger than any prison system in the Westernworld. This was not only an extreme experiment but also one imple-mented in a very large and greatly expanded system.
You Can't Fight Tanks with Bayonets: Psychological Warfare against the Japanese Army in the Southwest Pacific (Studies in War, Society, and the Militar) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In November 1944, during a lull in the intense fighting so characteristic of the Pacific War, a Japanese sol-dier made the following entry in his diary: ‘’I won’t go so far as to say it is absolutely impossible but I don’tthink we can win the war with Japanese spirit alone.” 1 Although the average GI would have found these wordsof little interest or importance, they were immensely heartening to Allied propagandists charged with the taskof inducing demoralization among enemy combatants. For this seemingly insignificant diary entry and manyothers akin to it provided evidence that soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA ) were losing confidencein their ability to win the “Greater East Asia War” and recognizing the vital importance played by materialfactors in wartime. Similar statements proffered by Japanese prisoners of war (POWS ) and found in documentsretrieved from battlefields throughout the Pacific were important sources of intelligence for psychologicalwarfare personnel, whose job it was to hasten Japan’s defeat by waging a propaganda campaign to diminishJapanese confidence in their ability to achieve victory.Historians have written hundreds of volumes about World War II. Many of them analyze various aspects ofthe Pacific War, and some examine the subject of psychological warfare (psywar), but rarely do these twolines of scholarly inquiry intersect. The bulk of the studies of psychological operations in World War II per-tain to the European Theater of Operations (ETO). John W. Dower’s War without Mercy: Race and Power inthe Pacific War assesses the impact of racial hatred, cultural stereotypes, and psychological factors on theconduct of the Pacific War. Yet his treatment of wartime atrocities, Japanese adherence to “death before disho-nor,” and Americans “obsessed with the task of slaughter” reveals only part of the story. 2 Although he refersto the surrender of demoralized Japanese soldiers, the subject is peripheral to his work. This is understanda-ble given his focus, yet one is left with a very clear impression that such occurrences were extraordinarily rareand insignificant events. More problematic is Dower’s assertion that Americans in decision-making positionswere so singularly unimpressed with the idea of waging a serious propaganda campaign against the Japanesethat “such ideas had little impact.”3 In fact, this is not the case. Psywar was not an afterthought on the part ofAllied military commanders, nor was it always perceived as some ‘’impractical plaything of effete civilians.”4In their attempts to demoralize Japanese troops Allied propagandists in the Southwest Pacific alone dissemi-nated nearly 400 million propaganda leaflets and witnessed the capture of approximately 19,500 Japanese pri-soners.
How well are you willing to bee?: A beginners's ''auto'' fix it guide - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The contents of this guide are intended to give the reader knowledge ofsome alternatives to the manner in which he/she may view the treatment of aspecified illness. Although a variety of choices exists, the hope is that this bookmay enlighten you about some new, yet very old, ways to get better. Did thatsuper heart medication, digitalis, not come from the foxglove plant? Sure it did.Do you know where aspirin originated? It was in the willow tree. Even thebuffering agent now used in aspirin comes from that same willow tree. Whatelse does nature have to offer? This is something many of us are now asking andwe are getting answers, too. Why do so many of us use things that just mask aproblem? A bandage can help protect a scratch from further harm, but why notuse something to aid the healing process before you apply the bandage? Well,did you know that raw honey is one of the most sterile topical ointments youcould use? When used on a scratch or burn, for example, it actually assists inspeeding the healing process. Of course, honey is good on piping hot biscuits,too! However, that's another story.What else can we learn about natural healing? It's not invasive to ourbodies. It does not require a whole new way of living, but it can give you one.The cost is affordable. The "feel good" feeling is natural, not synthetic. Thedocumentation about the powers of natural healing has been handed down forthousands of years. The Bible speaks often of the benefits of honey and propolis.Since the time of Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, there is evidence of theuse of apitherapy (the therapeutic use of bee products). The Chinese have usedherbs, bees, and other natural means of healing for hundreds of centuries. Doyou realize that money has not been an issue when dealing with these ways ofhealing? Only when mankind starts to "fool with Mother Nature" does the wal-let become an important factor.Remember when you would fall down and Mom could simply kiss it andmake it all better? Of course the bad knee scrapes sometimes needed a Band-Aid. Now, for instance, many of us feel we need to 'see a doctor' for a hurt knee.What do we get? Perhaps it will be a cortisone shot. Ouch!! Your body pro-duces cortisol, so why not use it instead? Because we don't know how, right?Well, let's start learning, saving money, and getting better. First, learn whatKISS can really mean: Keep It Simple, Sweetheart!
Residents' Teaching Skills (Springer Series on Medical Education) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: After a 2-year stint as a research fellow in nephrology, I returned to BostonCity Hospital in order to complete my 3rd year of internal medicine residen-cy. During the course of my fellowship, I'd done research on acid-basedisorders—an area that most medical students and residents find very con-fusing. Because of my research experience, the faculty and attendings as-sumed that I could teach this arcane subject to my peers and to our medicalstudents. With no training whatsoever in teaching (yes, even as a 3rd-yearresident!), I was assigned the task of putting together a lecture/seminar se-ries. To this day, I'm not sure whom the experience was worse for: theanxious, utterly unprepared "instructor" (me), or the learners, who probablygot very little satisfactory instruction from the seminar despite my mostearnest efforts.Does this sound familiar? It's an experience that nearly all of us have hadat some point during our residency: the sudden, sickening realization thatwe're going to be expected not only to care for patients, but to teach themedical students that we all too recently were ourselves. And we have abso-lutely no idea what to do. For more than a few residents, a crashing patientin the emergency room may be a lot less daunting than a clutch of earnestmedical students following in their wake and waiting for their wisdom.Traditionally, medical residents have not received the formal preparationthat is essential to the transition from full-time learner to at least part-timeteacher. Although many residents make that transition successfully through asort of osmosis, many more do not, and they remain ineffective teachersthroughout their residencies. With some estimates indicating that residentsare responsible for as much as 80% of student teaching, this is clearly anuntenable situation for medical education. Nor is it permissible according tothe standards of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, which statethat "Residents must be fully informed about the educational objectives ofthe clerkships and be prepared for their roles as teachers and evaluators ofmedical students.
Retire Secure!: Pay Taxes Later The Key to Making Your Money Last as Long as You Do - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Retire Secure! is written for consumers and advisors who wor-ry about these essential questions: “Will I have enough incomewhen I retire?” and “Will it last as long as I might?” These ques-tions might have additional significance for the wife of a maleretiree because she is statistically likely to survive her husband.Jim has properly identified the three stages of retirementplanning: accumulation, distribution, and estate planning, andreaders will fi nd the organization extremely helpful. They canquickly place themselves along the continuum of the retirementprocess and fi nd excellent recommendations for each stage oftheir journey.Understanding the implications of various retirement plan-ning decisions requires looking at the numbers. There is no get-ting around that. Comparing and contrasting different optionsguides the consumer into making the right choices. Jim takes allthe work out of this by providing numerous comparisons. Gradu-ally the reader is educated and informed—and making the rightchoices becomes easier.An important issue is, “Which account (Roth, IRA, 401(k),403(b), after tax, etc.) is the best to make withdrawals from first?”This is very clearly addressed in the book despite the fact that theexplanation cannot be simple or the response universal. It de-pends on an individual’s particular circumstances, and Jim avoidsgiving the reader the simplified, and often wrong, answer.The mini case studies are a real eye-opener for all readers,both consumers and financial advisors, because they mathemati-cally prove Jim’s assertions. Each comparison and mini case studyis based on several assumptions, which Jim is careful to point outin a clear fashion. I particularly enjoyed Mini Case Study 5.2about the disastrous execution of beneficiary forms and the deci-sion of Junior not to sue the careless estate administrator—hismother
