At Bank of America, I was an Operations Team Lead for the Los Angeles Fulfillment Operations department. We fulfilled statements, items and research inquires for our customers. Our customers included internal associates, consumers, and legal and government entities. This involved working with many bank products such as, checking, savings, certificate of deposits, individual retirement accounts, brokerage accounts and credit cards accounts. With a team of twenty-five associates, we would fulfill…
“no longer noticed the willows or the reflections of” their “running figures in the water” (pg. 6) as they had on the previous page. Thus, We can see that this “time” has greatly affected our main character, this time that is not measured in months or years, for numerical time has no affect on them. As the main character describes, “we sat there for an hour, maybe two, I don’t know, because it was then that time measured in the ordinary way stopped” (pg.6). Fink begins to use the scenery around…
in the living areas by putting foam gaskets behind electrical outlets or even where the floor meets with the exterior walls. Another good place to check if weatherization is needed would be areas around the exterior by caulking all penetrations that lead into the house from such things as the electrical, telephone, cable, gas, dryer, vents and maybe even the water lines. Another great thing to do to help would be decreasing the transportation that we use on a daily by maybe taking less…
$57 billion by the end of the century. Besides energy costs, scientists predict that with a rise in the global temperature there will be one to three foot change in the sea level by 2100. This doesn’t seem like much, but in the U.S. alone, 3.1 million people would be displaced by this event. With this rise in water levels, major coastal entities would be impacted. Transportation industries on the coast, such as airports, harbors, trains, and roadways, would be unusable. Evacuation routes…
The Effect of pH levels on the Motility of Daphnia in Lake Ecosystems Introduction: The production, transportation, and use of chemicals by chemical industries can result in chemical pollution. This leads to a harmful effect on ecosystems and their balance of life (Linlin, Chen, 2012). The pH levels of aquatic environments are important because it affects the physiology of animals by changing their behaviors. The ion concentrations associated with the water and the organism’s survival can also…
within 1 [metre] of mean sea level”, meaning that close to 100 million people could and will be displaced from their homes within the next few hundred years, due to sea level rise (2010). There are several factors that contribute to the rise of global sea-level, both directly (warming oceans, expansion of ocean particles and melting glaciers) and indirectly (global warming and the loss of ice shelves). While ice shelves don’t directly contribute to the rising of sea-level, they play an important…
There are two major trophic cascades that scientist use. One is called bottom-up and the other is top-down. The controller of top-down would be the top predator or the apex predator (Wallach and O’Neill, 2009). The apex predator can also be known as the keystone species in that ecosystem. Top-down control is when the apex predator regulates the structure and population of the ecosystem (Wallach and O’Neill, 2009). The apex predators will prey on the consumers, which keeps the consumers…
honors.” This level of measurement is impartial and should not be used in calculations, but we continue to use this type of data to classify students inadequately. The interval level of measurement provides more concrete data analysis. Values are created based on data that can be ordered and have a distinct difference between each level, hence the term interval measurement. Variables at the interval level can be used in calculations and drawing conclusions. The interval level does not have a…
Living as Night and Day: the Story of Two Brothers. Between my brother Joe and I, you could not find another pair so unalike. Despite growing up in the same household, ate at the same table, we experienced different things. After our experiences, Joseph became an exceedingly negative man. The man ignorant to others feelings; careless to everyone else’s convenience. Impatience, arrogant, chauvinistic and shrewd. I am the opposite of my brother, which makes me proud. Unlike Joesph, I’ve learned…
polar ice caps begin to melt. The icecaps release furthermore methane gases into the atmosphere and continue to heat the globe. The melting of the icecaps also results in higher sea levels which in turn harm coral reefs and decrease the land of those who live near costal regions. According to the NRDC, “Sea-level rise can lead to saltwater intrusion into groundwater drinking supplies”. The increase of heat causes snow to melt and animals such as the arctic hare become extinct because they can…
