Dolphins live in both icy and warm oceans as well as rivers. They have physical adaptations like sharp teeth, fins, and tails that help them hunt prey, swim swiftly, and defend against predators. Dolphins also display behavioral adaptations such as porpoising, holding their breath, and using echolocation to communicate. Fun facts provided about dolphins include that their prey sometimes includes young whales, they drink their mothers' milk, and they can locate objects and speak to other dolphins using echolocation.

Thoroughbred horses live in various habitats including dry deserts and green mountain meadows with grass and water. They have physical adaptations like a big body, eyes on the side of their head, and long legs to help them run fast. Wild horses called mustangs once roamed freely in the American west but are now called feral horses, deriving from a Spanish word for an unowned horse.
Pto library presentation
The document provides information about library resources and activities at a school. It discusses that students in grades 1-4 can check out two books per week, and kindergarten students check out one book per week. It also describes new computers and laptop carts available for classes, as well as databases and apps used to support research and digital storytelling. Finally, it promotes the library website which provides resources for parents and students on topics like the common core, internet safety, and research tools.
Sojourner Truth
This document provides biographical information about a black woman who was the first to speak out against slavery. She was born in New York City in 1797 and had five children between 1810-1826, with four surviving. She died in 1883 and many soldiers thought she was very brave for speaking out against slavery.
Ruby Bridges
Ruby Bridges was the first African American student to attend an all-white elementary school in 1960. She was selected by the NAACP to desegregate the all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans at age 6. As an adult, Ruby Bridges went on to write children's books about her experience to promote racial equality and understanding.
Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat for a white man on a bus in 1955, which led to her arrest and sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott. She fought for equal rights between white and black people and more than 30,000 people came to pay their respects to her when she died in 2005. She was born in 1913 and arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her seat, though she was not the only African American to be arrested for the same act on buses.
Madame C.J. Walker
Madame C.J. Walker proved that women could achieve great business success at a time when few did. She began by selling her own line of hair care products and trained other women to become business owners as well. Her determination to succeed was remarkable given her difficult childhood experiences of being orphaned at age 7 and raised by her sister.
Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman was an abolitionist who freed hundreds of slaves through her work on the Underground Railroad and as a spy for the Union Army during the Civil War. She made over 20 trips down south and helped more than 750 slaves escape to freedom on the Underground Railroad. During the Civil War, she served as a nurse, scout, and spy for the Union Army, where she provided valuable intelligence on Confederate troop movements.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
