Buffalo National River

Watershed pollution possess an environmental problem for many areas across the world. One example is the Buffalo National River Watershed. Recently, an industrial hog farming complex has moved near the Buffalo National River and in the watershed for this river system. Industrial hog farms create tremendous amounts of hog waste that pose a threat to the creeks and rivers that make up the surrounding watershed. Can the government and local conservation groups protect this beautiful ecosystem, and if so, how do they protect this watershed and encourage economic activity at the same time? The Buffalo River in Northwest Arkansas was designated as Americas first national river in 1972. It is one of the few remaining undammed rivers in the lower 48…

the year 1817, a manmade canal was built and changed the lives of many ordinary Americans. The Erie Canal is a canal that spreads from Albany to Buffalo New York and connects with the Great Lakes. The Canal gave residents the chance to start over and build up from what they have. I have had the opportunity to read The Artificial River by Carol Sheriff. In her book, she explained how the Erie Canal changed lives and how it help show progress in American history. Some topics that Sheriff used to…

since I browse and done a thorough research to get to know more about U.S education system. Being chosen as one of the lucky few Malaysians to study in the States by Public Service Deputy or known as Malaysia Government, it was time for me to make my choice of the university that I will spend four years in. State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) is definitely on my sponsor’s ‘recommended’ list, on top of the list, to be exact. There was something in me that said, “this is it”. And sure…

As a child, I dreamt of becoming a teacher. When we are young we have life goals that appear to be attainable at the time, but we never think of the obstacles and hardships we will face in order to achieve those goals. I am the first in my family to graduate college, so when it was time to apply for colleges I had no familial assistance. My college experience began at Medaille College in the fall of 2010. Medaille is a small, private, predominately white institution (PWI) in Buffalo, NY. In high…

Canal helped to expand the West and was a national movement for a federal transportation plan (Goodrich et al. 1961). The Erie Canal was successfully able to compress space and time by diminishing the distance between New York City and other cities as well as towns in the Central region of New York State which encouraged the small towns around the Canal to flourish. Not only was the canal the quickest way to travel in the early 1800s but the most comfortable way to travel as well (Walker and…

When you think of a place that has great customer service and a great atmosphere. This is a place that I enjoy going to all the time, they have great people that work for them and make sure that you feel welcome. Buffalo Wild Wings were established in 1982 in Columbus, Ohio. They have around 3,000 employees that work for their company. Most of the employees that work for them really enjoy working for them they say that it is a fun environment to work in. I know that going to the Midwest to many…

The mere mention of martyrdom may arouse an array of reactions because of its association with killing, violence and/or death in everyone who is familiar with the practice; and although martyrdom is not limited to any person, religion, or society and often, we find ourselves faced with a moral dilemma. But at what cost, are we willing to sacrifice in order to be happy and/or to find what we consider true happiness? Many like to say true happiness is dependent upon various circumstances and/or…

gunfights, revenge, duels and Indians. The typical cowboy we think of is a rugged, tough looking man, dressed in a “cowboy” hat, a vest, leather chaps and boots with two revolvers holstered around his waist, always at the tips of his fingers. While these images, in part, reflect reality -- there were cowboys and bandits and Indian raids -- they are primarily based on popular culture, the movies, TV shows, books, and other forms of popular media that captured the imaginations of those interested…
