Onde é permitida a matança de Focas?
No Canadá, na Rússia, na Noruega e na Groenlândia, a enorme ilha do Atlântico Norte que pertence à Dinamarca.
Estima-se que 300 mil animais sejam mortos todos os anos, a maioria - 275 mil - na costa canadense.
A espécie mais caçada é a Foca-da-Groenlândia (Pagophilus Groenlandicus), muito apreciada pela indústria de casacos de pele.
Entidades ambientalistas fazem ruidosa campanha contra os métodos utilizados pelos cerca de 6 mil caçadores empregados pela indústria.
Os animais são mortos a marteladas e, às vezes, escalpelados vivos.
Os ecologistas afirmam que, se a matança não for freada, a espécie corre risco de extinção.
Até o século 18 as focas eram caçadas apenas por esquimós que viviam na Groenlândia e no norte do Canadá. Esse tipo de exploração, envolvendo apenas animais adultos, é sustentável e não coloca em risco a perpetuação das espécies. A pele das focas serve para fazer agasalhos e a carne e os ossos viram alimento para a população local

This document summarizes a study that characterized solid waste disposed at the Columbia Sanitary Landfill in Missouri. Researchers conducted waste sorts during each quarter of 1996 to quantify the weight fractions of 32 waste components from different geographic regions that contribute to the landfill. The composition of the entire waste stream was found to be 41% paper, 21% organic, 16% plastic, 6% metal, 3% glass and 13% other waste. Paper was the largest component and glass the smallest for all regions. Comparisons were made to previous studies to evaluate changes over time and differences due to local conditions.
Hormel Foods reported record net earnings of $139 million in fiscal 1998, up 27% from the previous year.

The company faced challenges from low hog and turkey prices but benefited from growth in higher-margin branded and value-added product lines.

Capitalizing On The Crisis: Strategic Decision-Making in an Uncertain Economyskaf777
Strategic leaders must make difficult decisions under conditions of extreme uncertainty due to the current economic crisis. They should reassess risk and returns of their portfolio, develop contingency plans to maximize upside and limit downside, and maintain strategic flexibility. Opportunities exist for companies that understand value and risk to acquire distressed assets, engage in mergers and acquisitions, and take industry leadership. Building cash reserves and access to credit provides flexibility to capitalize on attractive deals as conditions evolve unpredictably.

AutoZone has strong corporate governance practices according to Institutional Shareholder Services. Its board is comprised of the CEO, founder and seven independent directors who are elected annually. All board committees consist solely of independent directors. The audit committee, comprised of designated financial experts, meets quarterly with external and internal auditors without management present. All AutoZone officers and functional controllers must certify financial reports in writing and are subject to trading restrictions and general counsel approval for option exercises.
Synkron læring refers to synchronous e-learning, which involves real-time interaction between students and teachers using tools like videoconferencing and chat. This allows for an immediate back-and-forth that can help develop a sense of community among remote learners. In contrast, asynkron læring or asynchronous e-learning uses methods like email and discussion boards that allow students to engage with course material and each other independently of time and schedule. While both approaches have benefits, synkron læring aims to more closely replicate the social experience of in-person classroom learning.

O documento fornece uma introdução sobre Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (SIG). Explica que SIG envolvem dados espaciais como pontos, linhas e polígonos com atributos e localização geográfica, que podem ser usados para criar e analisar mapas de vários fenômenos. A ligação entre dados espaciais e atributos permite pesquisas e análises espaciais como identificar proprietários ou distribuições.
This document provides an introduction to geographic information systems (GIS). It defines what geographic data and maps are in the context of GIS. Geographic data can represent real-world objects like buildings, roads, and land cover through points, lines, and polygons with x,y coordinates. These geometric data are linked to attribute data about the objects through identifiers. GIS allows users to visualize, analyze, and query geographic data and relationships to answer questions about features in an area.
