    Drug testing? Insane‚ outrageous‚ and wasteful. The issue is whether or not welfare recipients should be drug tested and clean in order to receive funding. Because laboratory tests are often inaccurate‚ drug testing should not be required. To begin with‚ drug testing might be illegal search and seizure and might end up not saving money. First and foremost‚ “a law requiring drug tests would be unconstitutional. The US Constitution’s fourth amendment protects Americans against unreasonable searches

    other animals are burned‚ blinded‚ cut open‚ poisoned‚ starved and drugged behind closed laboratory doors every year for convenience and economic reasons and because of old habits. Not only are animal tests extremely cruel‚ they are also completely inaccurate because of the vast physiological variations between species. Throughout the years of medical research‚ scientists have immorally exploited animals in the sense that they cannot decide for themselves. They have continually tested animals without

    I am writing today to discuss the issue of coastal erosion and the proposed solution of beach nourishment. Coastal erosion has several causes‚ the most prominent being the breaking of waves against the coastline. While seemingly harmless‚ over time waves break away at the shoreline‚ leading to its reduction. Beaches are the one thing that protect coastal structures from such damage. They act as a line of defense for everything they surround‚ and are necessary for communities to thrive along the coast

    picked up from my work office library. It’s a 13 chapter book explaining many different sectors of the wind turbines‚ but I’m concentrating on the history of wind energy chapter 12. This chapter covers wind turbine pioneers Charles F. Brush and Poul la Cour and what they are famous for. This chapter also covers the development of wind turbines over time and also covers onshore and offshore wind turbines. This chapter is very helpful and contains sufficient information for me to start my research

    and bluster‚ prodded by the restless wind. Ski resorts don’t like to talk about wind–or storms in general—because it scares away the tourists‚ who somehow forget that winter is messy‚ cold‚ and wild‚ as if snow were laid down softly each night like a blanket over a sleeping baby. But wind is a fact of life in the mountains‚ as much a part of the weather as snow itself‚ and those who grumble about it or say it does nothing but blow overlook the fact that the wind gives as much as it takes. It can seem

    3.5 Heel horn erosions Heel horn erosion is seen as a change in the form of the exterior of the bulb of the heel (Greenough 2016). Heel horn erosion is not always the cause of lameness‚ with the true incidence being unknown (Greenough 2016). However‚ it is suggested that if dairy cows are exposed to copious slurry‚ the incidence of heel erosion quickly reaches 100%. In some dairy cows‚ heel horn erosion advances to a point at which complications develop and lameness may be apparent (Greenough 2016)
