A few common dishes made in Paraguay are locro, sopa paraguaya, and chipa guazú (Paraguay,1). The government of Paraguay is a republic, consisting…

Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism. Of the following, Shintoism and Buddhism can arguably be called the most influential, and while only Shintoism is indigenous to Japan, today, the influence of Buddhist culture compares to that of Shintoism (Dolan 1992). Shintoism, or the way of the gods, is more a mix of beliefs and practices indigenous to Japan than a strict religion. It predates Buddhism; however, it does exhibit Buddhist influence. Shintoism is the belief in the pantheistic universe of…

of chronic pain disorders, including headache, and back pain are commonly linked with sexual victimization (for reviews see Koss and Heslet, 1992; Dunn and Gilchrist, 1993; Hendricks-Mathews, 1993).

garnered insufficient focus in earlier years of zoo conservation efforts (Dierenfeld, 1997). Historically, the diets of captive animals differ comprehensively in nutrient content from diets eaten by their wild counterparts (Cohn, 1992). Findings made by Dierenfeld (1997) and Cohn (1992) have been disputed by (Smith et al., 2014) in a study they conducted in 2014 with captive gorillas. The body weights of captive male and female gorillas, from 24 zoos, were compared to average published body…
