1. English ivy (Hedera helix) is a non-native species to the US that originated in Europe. It invades forest edges and trees by climbing to their tops and blocking sunlight, weakening the trees. 2. English ivy was introduced to the US in 1727 and has spread throughout eastern and western states. It thrives in shady and sunny areas but cannot tolerate drought or salinity. 3. English ivy is an aggressive invader that threatens all levels of vegetation in forests and open areas by growing along the ground and into tree canopies. It has become a serious weed despite continuing to be sold as an ornamental plant.

Gardening with Native Plants - Michigan State University
This document discusses the benefits of gardening with native plants. It begins by explaining what defines a plant as native - being adapted to the climate, soil, and ecosystem of a specific region. While exotic plants were traditionally preferred, there is a growing movement toward using native species which are well-adapted without inputs. Native plants face threats including habitat loss, invasive species, and illegal harvesting. The document encourages gardeners to help native plants by growing them and allowing them to thrive without excessive care or chemicals.
Assignment on natural science
This document discusses various natural resources including ponds, lakes and rivers, forests, and mangroves. It provides details on the ecology and importance of these resources. Ponds provide habitat and food sources for wildlife. Forests store carbon, regulate climate, purify water, and contain biodiversity. Mangroves have adaptations that allow them to thrive in saline coastal habitats. Natural resources are essential but finite, so sustainable use is important.
VEGETATION by Rupam Dey
This document discusses different types of natural vegetation found around the world. It describes four main types of forests: evergreen, deciduous, tropical, and coniferous. It also outlines two main types of grasslands: tropical and temperate. Desert vegetation is noted to occur where little precipitation exists, exposing the ground surface. Specific examples of each vegetation type are provided. In closing, it mentions that around 22% of India's total area is covered by forests.
Invasive Species
1) The Ironton Rail Trail follows the path of an old railroad line that transported iron ore, coal, and limestone. It now serves as a hiking and biking trail that preserves local history.
2) The document discusses several invasive species found along the trail, including Crown Vetch, Japanese Beetles, Orange Day Lily, and Tuberous Sweet Pea, that threaten native plants and wildlife.
3) These invasive species were introduced from other parts of the world and spread aggressively, displacing native species and reducing biodiversity in the natural areas along the trail.

GRASSLANDS
Overview
The purpose of this chapter is to help readers visualize the vast
scope of forages in the world by defining, locating and
describing the great grasslands of the world. Discussion of
general concepts of grasslands also will alert readers to the
need for understanding the fragile balance between plants,
soils and animals in each grassland location.
To feel you have mastered this first chunk of the book, you
should be able to name the grasslands of the world and
recognize the many terms for grasslands in various countries/
regions. You should have a concise definition of grasslands
and how they vary from other vegetative areas. And you should
be able to discuss some of the issues grasslands currently
face.
Definition of Grasslands
When visiting the Grand Canyon for the first time it is only
natural to wonder what the first explorers must have thought as
they strolled through the woodlands and suddenly before them
a massive but magnificent ditch came into view.
/ FORAGES / 6
Similar feelings must have been experienced by those
approaching the extensive grasslands of the world. The steppe
of Eurasia extends from Europe to China; the prairies of
America have been called an ocean of grass, and many settlers
were too overwhelmed by its size to venture across it.

Grassland, land containing mostly grasses, covers about 2/3 of
the land masses of the world and makes up 1/4 of the earth's
surface. Grassland refers to that biome dominated by grasses,
species of the Poaceae family (previously Gramineae). *A
biome is “a large geographical area characterized by certain
types of plants and animals.” Examples are forest, grassland,
freshwater, marine, desert, and tundra.

Invasives In Our Gardens (Original)
This document discusses invasive plant species and their impact. It defines invasive plants as exotic species that spread aggressively and displace native plants. Many invasives reproduce and disperse seeds rapidly. Some common invasive garden plants discussed are English ivy, Norway maple, burning bush, Japanese barberry, butterfly bush, purple loosestrife, multiflora rose, oriental bittersweet, and periwinkle. The document urges readers to remove invasives from their gardens and neighborhoods to protect local biodiversity and ecosystems.
Grasslands
Grasslands are biomes dominated by grasses rather than trees. They are found across North America, Eurasia, South America, South Africa, and Australia. Grasslands develop in areas with moderate rainfall between 250-800 mm and periodic droughts that prevent the growth of forests but support grasses. Grazing animals and fires help maintain grasslands by preventing the growth of shrubs and trees. Human impacts like plowing for crops, overgrazing, and replacing native plants with domesticated species have degraded many original grasslands.

Temperate deciduous forests are typically located in mid-latitude areas between 25° and 50° in both hemispheres, characterized by distinct seasons. They contain a variety of plant and animal species adapted to seasonal changes and have highly productive ecosystems. However, human activities like logging, invasive species, and overgrazing have significantly reduced forest coverage in some areas. Conservation efforts in places like the U.S. and Haiti aim to restore and protect these forests through reforestation programs and sustainable management practices.

Educational technology 2 Demo.
Tropical grasslands are located near the equator between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn in Africa, Australia, South America, and India. They are dominated by grasses 3-6 feet tall and may include some drought or fire resistant trees. The climate is hot year-round with annual rainfall between 20-50 inches concentrated in 6-8 months, followed by drought, which prevents the establishment of forests. Common threats include poaching, overgrazing, clearing for agriculture, and desertification.

NATURAL VEGETATION, CLASS 7 CBSE GEOGRAPHY
The document discusses different types of natural vegetation around the world and how they are influenced by climate. It describes the main categories of forests, grasslands, and shrubs. Specific forest types covered include tropical and temperate evergreen and deciduous forests, coniferous forests, and Mediterranean vegetation. The document also discusses different grassland and wildlife regions. Exercises at the end test the reader's understanding of the material through multiple choice and short answer questions.
Natural wildlife and vegetation
Natural vegetation refers to plants and trees that exist in an area before human modification. There are several categories of natural vegetation, including forests, grasslands, and shrubs. Forests form complete ecosystems and include trees, plants, animals, and microorganisms. There are several types of forests such as tropical rainforests, tropical deciduous forests, temperate evergreen forests, temperate deciduous forests, coniferous forests, and Mediterranean forests. Grasslands are areas dominated by grasses and can be tropical or temperate. They provide habitat for many large herbivores. Wildlife is important both ecologically and economically as it helps maintain balance in nature and can be used to generate income.

Natural vegetation and wildlife
Salima visited Manali in Himachal Pradesh and noticed changes in the natural vegetation as she climbed higher in elevation. In the foothills she saw sal and teak trees, but higher up saw coniferous trees with thin pointed leaves. She saw rhododendrons in bloom on tall trees. The type of natural vegetation depends on factors like temperature, rainfall, and soil conditions, which change with elevation and create different zones of vegetation like forests, grasslands, and shrubs.

NATURAL VEGETATION, CLASS 7 CBSE GEOGRAPHY
The document discusses different types of natural vegetation around the world and how they are influenced by climate. It describes the main categories of forests, grasslands, and shrubs. Specific forest types covered include tropical and temperate evergreen and deciduous forests, coniferous forests, and Mediterranean vegetation. The document also discusses different grassland and wildlife regions. Exercises at the end test the reader's understanding of the material through multiple choice and short answer questions.
Natural wildlife and vegetation
Natural vegetation refers to plants and trees that exist in an area before human modification. There are several categories of natural vegetation, including forests, grasslands, and shrubs. Forests form complete ecosystems and include trees, plants, animals, and microorganisms. There are several types of forests such as tropical rainforests, tropical deciduous forests, temperate evergreen forests, temperate deciduous forests, coniferous forests, and Mediterranean forests. Grasslands are areas dominated by grasses and can be tropical or temperate. They provide habitat for many large herbivores. Wildlife is important both ecologically and economically as it helps maintain balance in nature and can be used to generate income.

Natural vegetation and wildlife
Salima visited Manali in Himachal Pradesh and noticed changes in the natural vegetation as she climbed higher in elevation. In the foothills she saw sal and teak trees, but higher up saw coniferous trees with thin pointed leaves. She saw rhododendrons in bloom on tall trees. The type of natural vegetation depends on factors like temperature, rainfall, and soil conditions, which change with elevation and create different zones of vegetation like forests, grasslands, and shrubs.

Government and Not-For-Profit Accounting
Value of Donated Assets
Which is the proper value to be assigned to certain donated assets? (This is a question for which answers cannot be found in either GASB pronouncements or the text), research is necessary.
A city’s road maintenance department received “donations” of two type of assets:
1. From the county in which the city is located it received earthmoving equipment. The equipment had cost the county $800,000 when it was acquired five years earlier. Accounted for in a county proprietary fund, its book value, net of accumulated depreciation at the time of donation, was $500,000. Its fair market value was $530,000.
2. From the city’s own utility fund (a proprietary fund) it received motor vehicles that had cost the city $400,000 when acquired three years earlier. At the time of transfer, the vehicles were recorded on the utility’s books at $180,000, net of accumulated depreciation. Their fair market value was #225,000.
Write a 1000 word, APA you answer style paper where the following:
1. At what value should the city record in its government-wide financial statements for: (1) the earth-moving equipment, and (2) the motor vehicles?
1. Briefly justify your response, commenting on any apparent inconsistencies in the values assigned to each of the two types of assets.
1. Comment on the significance of the resultant book values for decisions or assessments to be made by statement users.
Myth Clash Paper #1
Zheng Hui
The present paper will discuss how different ancient poets describe the myths. It will compare and Contrast the two versions of the myth of the Cyclops Polyphemus in the Archaic Greek poet Homer’s Odyssey (EH 298-314) and in the Hellenistic poet Theocritus' poem (Idyll 11) (ACM 399-401). It will also elaborate how Roman poet Ovid combine elements from each of these earlier poets’ versions to make his own version of the myth in his poem, the Metamorphoses (OM 374-381). In general, the paper will discuss and analyze the differences and similarities among several versions from different aspects including characters, features, techniques and others.
According to ancient Greek myth, there were three separate tribes of the mythical, one eyed giants known as Cyclops, or Cyclopes. One of them is the Ouranian Cyclopes, who was the offspring of Gaea and Ouranos. Besides, there is also another Cyclops called the mason-Cyclopes, who represents workers in Hephaestus’s forge. The third one is the shepherd-like Cyclopes, who was neighbors of the island-dwelling Polyphemus, who was a son of Poseidon (Weinstock, 2013). Based on the description of the Cyclopes in the ancient Greek myth, one feature that is present in all these Cyclopes is that they had one unique anatomy. In addition, they all had a single round eye in the middle of their foreheads. In fact, the eye, according to the Greek poet Hesiod, is the source of their name.
In Greek, Cyclops means “circle-eye.” These giants .

The document discusses California becoming the first state to pass a law in 1999 legalizing electronic contracts and signatures. The law aims to ensure electronic contracts and signatures have the same legal standing as paper contracts. However, the law only applies when parties agree in advance to electronic transactions and excludes some transactions like wills and certain consumer protection agreements. While the law will significantly impact contract law in California and nationwide, its full effects remain to be determined through future legal cases involving electronic contracts.

· WEEK 1: Databases and SecurityLesson
· Databases and Security
Databases are in just about everything we use today. When you are performing any task, think to yourself, Does this involve a database in some way?
As a daily process, communication occurs between people by many mediums, but there is no other medium more utilized than the large internetwork of computer systems we know as the Internet. When we look at some of the transactions that are performed on a daily basis, it is highly likely that there is a database involved. For example, if you open a web page to www.google.com and type a keyword in the textbox to search for, this process starts a series of searches through multiple databases. Another example is when searching for a book in the APUS library, this search is conducted using a database of books known as a catalog. so databases play an integral part in our daily lives; they store millions of pieces of data and more is collected each day (Basta, 2012).
In recent years, we find that technology has expanded to the reaches of utilities and production environments. Many of the utilities we come to rely on so heavily, such as gas, oil and electric, have been tied into the networks we use today. This interconnection allows for many new innovations in keeping everything in working order, but at the same time it also presents some very real threats to security. In reality, an intruder could take down an entire electrical grid which would remove power to millions of customers. An article in CIO Insight gives a great perspective on this and other issues in security where databases play such an important role (CIOInsight, 2011).
With the importance of securing the database infrastructure, we need to look at a multilayered approach to security. As can be seen in many security programs, multiple layers allow for strong security because it adds another roadblock that an intruder has to bypass to get to these systems. This same approach leads us to begin with the foundation of security; the CIA Triad. It all begins with the most basic approach, computer security and moves forward from that point on. Below is a detailed description of the components of the CIA Triad from (Basta, 2012):
· Confidentiality: For a system to provide confidentiality, it needs to do two things: ensure that information maintains its privacy by limiting authorized access to resources; block unauthorized access to resources.
· Integrity: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedure, and design in order to create and maintain reliable, consistent, and complete information and systems.
· Availability: This refers to the efforts taken through policy, procedures, and design to maintain the accessibility of resources on a network or within a database. These resources include, but are not limited to, data, applications, other databases, computers, servers, applications, files, drives, shares, and network access.

· Unit 4 Citizen RightsINTRODUCTIONIn George Orwells Animal.docx
· Unit 4 Citizen Rights
INTRODUCTION
In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the assertion that "all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others" signals the breakdown of any semblance of a fair society. We have probably all experienced it: a situation where someone who was better connected, more influential, or in a position of power could advance far beyond the position or actions of the common person. On a typical day, this happens in travel, restaurant seating, the selection of a church pew, and the line at the grocery store.
It should not, however, happen in our public services. As citizens, we all have rights, and we all have the same rights. That is the beauty of the United States's democratic government structure, and perhaps one of the most cherished aspects of it. Economic and social diversity aside, when we interact with the government, we expect to receive the same treatment, whether we are a Rockefeller or a plumber. The reality is that this balance of citizen rights is difficult to achieve, because in many cases, those wielding power and influence attempt to trump equity.
TOGGLE DRAWERHIDE FULL INTRODUCTION
Inherent in the concept of citizenship is the exchange wherein citizens give allegiance to a nation and receive protection offered by that nation. Citizens therefore have certain privileges in the eyes of the nation, such as the right to vote, to pay taxes, and to refuse certain actions, such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it refers to God. There are benefits and entitlements that the citizen can demand from the government. These rights are balanced by responsibilities, such as upholding the law, participating in government, and engaging in the same privileges previously mentioned.
In this unit, issues of the middle class, the welfare state, and what constitutes citizenship will be examined based on the concept of citizen rights.

Running head: AUDITING INFORMATION SYSTEMS PROCESS Auditing information systems process Student’s Name University Affiliation Auditing information systems 2process Information systems are the livelihood of any huge business. As in past years, computer systems do not simply record transactions of business, but essentially drive the main business procedures of the enterprise. In such a situation, superior management and business managers do have worries concerning information systems. Auditing is a methodical process by which a proficient, independent person impartially obtains and assesses evidence concerning assertions about a financial entity or occasion for the reason of outlining an outlook about and reporting on the extent to which the contention matches to an acknowledged set of standards. Auditing of information systems is the administration controls assessment inside the communications of Information Technology. The obtained proof valuation is used to decide if systems of information are defensive assets, maintenance reliability of data, and also if they are efficiently operating in order to attain organization’s goals or objectives (Hoelzer, 2009). Auditing of Information Systems has become an essential part of business organization in both large and small business environments. This paper examines the preliminary points for carrying out and Information system audit and some of the, techniques, tools, guidelines and standards that can be employed to build, manage, and examine the review function. The Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) qualifications is recognized worldwide as a standard of accomplishment for those who assess, monitor, control and audit the information technology of an organization and business systems. Information Systems experts with a concern in information systems security, control and audit. At least five years of specialized information systems security, auditing and control work practice is necessary for certification.

· Part I Key Case SummaryThis case discusses the Union Carbid.docx
· Part I: Key
Case Summary
This case discusses the Union Carbide gas leak that occurred in Bhopal, India in 1984. Over five thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were injured after water inadvertently mixed with methyl isocyanate (MIC) causing the release of a deadly gas. The plant in Bhopal was a pesticide production facility that served the increasing demand of India’s thriving farming industry. However, uncontrolled zoning allowed the plant to be built within close proximity to a densely populated region. While the plant was initially profitable, market changes negatively impacted revenue forcing budget cuts that led to the decay of maintenance and safety practices. There are several theories as to why the incident occurred such as a disgruntled employee’s maliciousness or an accidental contamination. Over several years, Union Carbide paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to the survivors and ultimately ceased to exist, while the community continues to struggle with the aftermath of the disaster.
Main Critical Issues (the list):
· India’s officials adopted careless zoning practices and allowed the construction of the plant near dense population.
· The proper safety procedures were not followed and the equipment was not being properly utilized as designed. UCIL managers placed a higher weight on cost cutting than on safety, resulting in the reduction of maintenance and safety practices.
· Union Carbide Corp. did not require frequent reporting from its subsidiary in India (UCIL), which allowed malpractices and unsafe systems in the Bhopal plant to go unnoticed.
· Union Carbide Corporation and UCIL had an ethical obligation to warn the surrounding community of potential dangers of living close to the pesticide plant
· If the case, the disgruntled employees action to sabotage the plant to take vengeance
· Employees and supervisors in the Bhopal plant did not follow numerous policies and routines that could have prevented the tragedy (e.g. acting upon the alarming increase in the tank pressure, instead of postponing it to after the tea break).
· The residents were not informed of what actions to take in the event of a toxic leak or accident.
· The employees did not use the emergency buses to evacuate surrounding residents.
·

· Perceptual process is a process through manager receive organize and interpret information. According to this case, after Andrea decided quit this job, Sam chose Grant for the manager position from three candidates, even he is not very suitable for this position, because Sam strongly believes the manager have to be a full time based on previous customer experience(He believed that you can’t be a part time manager and that his customers would think Vibe was not a serious company if he appointed a part time manager for marketing and public relations-Sam Nguyen) Moreover Sam thought Grant could Increase himself-awareness to achieve demonstrate good relationship with customer.
· Job satisfaction is a collection of positive or negative felling that an individual holds toward their job. In this case, Andrea is a good example of having a negative felling of her job. ( Sam’s only criticism of her was that she seemed to live to work). Because Sam does not care about the employee satisfaction, Andrea can not get more spiritual benefit even get good salary. People may have different level of the job satisfaction. In this case, Andrea work long hours, she may feel very stressful, she is happy with cognitive job satisfaction, but not with the affective job satisfaction.

Article
SYNCRETISM AND ITS SYNONYMS: REFLECTIONS ON CULTURAL MIXTURE by CHARLES STEWART
(If you would like to read the article from which this excerpt was taken, you can find it in Doc Sharing.)
The subject matter of anthropology has gradually changed over the last twenty years. Nowadays ethnographers rarely search for a stable or original form of cultures; they are usually more concerned with revealing how local communities respond to historical change and global influences. The burgeoning literature on transnational flows of ideas, global institutions, and cultural mixture reflects this shift of attention. This increased awareness of cultural penetration has, furthermore, been instrumental in the critique of earlier conceptions of “culture” that cast it as too stable: bounded, and homogeneous to be useful in a world characterized by migrations (voluntary or forced), cheap travel, international marketing, and telecommunications… In this body of literature the word syncretism has begun to reappear alongside such related concepts as hybridization and creolization as a means of portraying the dynamics of global social developments.
My purpose in considering the history of syncretism up to the present is not to enforce a standard usage conformed to the domain of religion; nor is it my goal to promote syncretism to a position of primus inter pares in the company of all other terms for mixture. I see my approach instead as an attempt to illustrate historically that syncretism has an objectionable but nevertheless instructive past…
Current Discussions of Mixture
Cultures, if we still wish to retain this term (and I do), are porous; they are open to intermixture with other, different cultures and they are subject to historical change precisely on account of these influences. This has no doubt always been the case…
Cultural borrowing and interpenetration are today seen as part of the very nature of cultures… To phrase it more accurately, syncretism describes the process by which cultures constitute themselves at any given point in time. Today's hybridization will simply give way to tomorrow's hybridization, the form of which will be dictated by historical-political events and contingencies… As [Edward] Said expresses it: all cultures are involved in one another, none is simple and pure, all.

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
9
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.
