They, not only, received special op units in hostile zones “but acted as flying gas tankers, orbiting in the sky as American rescue helicopters docked with them to refuel. Equipped with ground-target radar, 20mm Gatling guns, 40mm cannons, and later, a side-firing 105mm Howitzer, C-130’s morphed into AC-130 gunships, destroying 10,000 enemy trucks and repelling countless enemy attacks. Late in the war, Hercules planes were even being fitted with the largest bomb in the U.S. arsenal, the 15,000-pound BLU-82” (Story of Innovation). The C-130’s were also able to adapt to the ice and snow.

It gives Australia a new field of food security, meaning that everyone, will always have access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food which meets the needs of the general public and food preferences for healthy lives. Who wouldn't appreciate having food security for our country? Another benefit of increasing the subsidies for farmers is that it ultimately calls for the prices to fall, meaning that Australian customers and everyday shoppers will be additionally better-off. While Australian farmers will thrive off having increased government supported income they will also advance in demand because of the change in price. This is meaning that employment rates in Australia will be effected beneficially and create new job availability for our country.…
Climate change is creating a food crisis, its inconsistent weather year over year causes food insecurity throughout the world.

This is causing farmers not to know when the right season is to plant certain crops. For costal farming, with rising sea levels there’s threat of contamination of fresh water, which is effecting water quality and crop production.…
To determine effectiveness of the intervention, we will be administering a pre- and post- test as shown in Figure 4.These tests will determine whether “Do You Know?” has met the outlined change objectives based on the behavioral theories Social Cognitive Theory, Health DO YOU KNOW? 10 Belief Model, and Information-Motivation- Behavioral Skills Model. These include identifying the hurricane risk, having a household preparedness plan and knowing what to do in the case of an emergency.…
Review of “The Storm That Swept Mexico” The review of the documentary “The Storm That Swept Mexico” will cover two points in this review. The first point of my review will be how this documentary demonstrated how individualistic and collectivistic culture's interaction can lead to events such as a revolution.

Individualistic and collectivist cultures in “The Storm That Swept Mexico” demonstrate how views can be used to gain an advantage if one does not have the scruples to morally guide them.…
Not only the U.S was affected by the storm but also part of the countries such as Cuba and Bahamas, but less affected.

ne of the videos I watched is part of a documentary called “Eye of the Storm”. In the video, which took place in Iowa, Jane Elliot, a white, third grade teacher, took a new approach to teaching her class of young students about discrimination. She conducted an experiment in which she divided her class by eye color: those with blue eyes and those with brown eyes. This video portrays a combination of prejudice, racism, and discrimination. Racism is shown when the kids are asked if there is anyone in the United States that they do not treat as their brothers and they respond by saying things like “the black people” and “the Indians”.…

Supply shock refers to a sudden, unexpected event that changes the supply of a product, commodity or service. This results in a sudden change in its price and either increases or diminishes its supply. Contemporary economic theory explains that a supply shock creates a material shift in the aggregate supply curve and thus forces prices to find a new balance. Supply shock can be positive where there is an increased supply or negative when supply is decreased. Its effects can be either long term or short term depending on the nature of the cause.…
