The document summarizes a business idea for producing and selling artisanal farm sausage. It discusses characteristics of the potential sausage products, reasons for choosing sausage, potential countries for export, and why the business idea could be successful. The sausage business could contribute to Colombia's economy by exporting to the US, hiring more workers, and increasing production.

Wifi - a thalidomide in the making - who caresMarc Manthey
This document discusses the health risks of Wi-Fi exposure, particularly for pregnant women and children. It cites several studies that found Wi-Fi exposure was linked to increased rates of miscarriage, fetal abnormalities, and genetically damaged children. Exposure to Wi-Fi by young girls could damage their future children's DNA through irradiation of their ovarian follicles. Several government studies dating back to the 1980s documented health risks from low-level microwave radiation like Wi-Fi, but this evidence was suppressed to protect industry profits.

El documento describe los conceptos de arte y cultura clásica en la civilización occidental, que se refieren principalmente al arte y la literatura de la antigua Grecia y Roma. Explica que el arte clásico incluye escultura, arquitectura y otras artes menores de la antigüedad, mientras que la música clásica y el clasicismo musical se refieren a estilos posteriores.

This document discusses databases and Boolean searching techniques. It defines a database as a collection of organized and accessible records stored on a computer. Boolean operators like AND, OR and NOT are used to narrow or broaden searches. AND narrows results by requiring both search terms, OR expands results by including either term, and NOT limits results by excluding a term. The document provides an example search on the Kansas City Chiefs and their relationship with Native Americans, demonstrating how Boolean operators refine the results. It also notes that peer-reviewed journals are good sources for research as they undergo an editorial review process.
The document provides guidance on the preliminary steps for research:
1. Narrowing the research topic by considering time period, population, geographical location, and point of view. An example topic on global warming is narrowed to focus on biological impacts on bird populations in South America in the 21st century.
2. Creating a research question to focus the research, using question stems like who, what, when, how, to what extent, and why. Sample questions are provided about the ecological and species impacts of global warming on birds in South America.
3. Determining search terms and sources, including brainstorming related terms to use in database searches and considering what types of resources will be needed.
This document defines paraphrasing and provides guidance on how to properly paraphrase sources. It states that paraphrasing involves taking an author's words and making them your own while maintaining the overall meaning. Paraphrasing should be slightly shorter than the original and change the wording and sentence structure significantly. The document outlines a five-step process for paraphrase and discusses common mistakes like not altering the wording or ideas enough that can result in plagiarism. It also provides two sample paraphrases, identifying one as plagiarized for not changing the structure or words, while the other is not plagiarized because it properly cites the source and rewords the original passage.
This document provides guidance on writing an argumentative paper on whether affirmative action should still be practiced in the United States. It defines what an argument is, outlines the typical components of an argument including a claim, reasons, evidence, warrants, counterarguments and rebuttals. It then provides tips for writing the paper such as establishing a clear thesis, providing reasons and evidence to support the claim, addressing counterclaims, being organized with an introduction, body and conclusion, conducting research from reliable sources, and including a works cited page.
This document provides guidance on evaluating the credibility of sources for research. It defines key terms like research, source credibility, and validity. It then lists questions under five categories - who, what, when, where, why - to consider when assessing a source. These include examining the author's credentials, biases, purpose, evidence of updates, and relevance to the research task. The document concludes with warning signs of less credible sources like outdated information, errors, or ads/charges.
The document provides instructions for students on how to use databases available through the BVHS Library Media Center. It explains how to access and search databases using Boolean operators and search fields to find scholarly and peer-reviewed sources. Examples are given of search terms and queries students can use to research the topic of addressing a culture of dishonesty at the high school level, including terms like "academic dishonesty", "high school", and "plagiarism". Contact information is provided for the library staff with any additional questions.
The document provides guidance on choosing a research topic and questions for an essay. Students should pick a topic they find interesting by browsing databases and websites on global issues. They should then write their topic and generate 3 research questions on the topic's background, effects, and prevention to guide their research for the essay.
