A thirty-year comparison of vegetarians and non-vegetarians found that children who scored high on IQ tests later were more likely to become vegetarians as adults. For a very long time religions like Hinduism and Buddhists have been strictly vegetarian because of their beliefs in reincarnation and the sacredness of animals. As society grew people began to become vegetarians based on overall well-being and because of the brutality of the farming industry.There are many different reasons for the…

Madison Manley Mr. Baker English 11 03 April 2017 Global Warming In our society today, we are selfish and greedy. We take the things we want no matter the consequences that our actions may have. This is ultimately true in the topic of global warming. Global warming is there. It's presence is undeniable even to the most skeptical people. Countless trials and experiments have proven its existence and it's fatal impact on our world. Even with the vast amount of proof, people still deny that global…

Everything you need to know about water-cutting The unfortunate reality of competing in combat sports is that majority of weight-ins happen the day before or the morning of the actual competition. This allows some athletes to dehydrate themselves enough to compete literally 10-30 pounds heavier than they were just yesterday. Even if you don't want to go through this grueling experience, there is a good chance your opponent already did. Let's be perfectly clear from the start that water cutting…

enough pain to keep Winter from escaping (He’s a bit of a wimp). However, they don’t know if the molecules of the water and acid would dissolve together spreading, water being the solvent, as it's easier to get, and less suspicious when carrying 70 gallons of it around, than acid, the solute. In simpler terms to someone who hasn’t just taken 8 years of chemistry, they are sure if the acid is soluble with the water to make a dangerous solution. Another option they are thinking about to trap…

Though a popular ‘starter pet’ many people do not know much about leopard geckos. These reptiles are unusual in the fact that they have eyelids, which is almost unheard of in geckos. They also boast a rather hefty lifespan, with the ability to live for 20-30 years with proper care. The oldest recorded leopard gecko lived to be 31 years old. A close relative of the ‘leo’ is the African fat tailed gecko. These geckos generally only survive to 20 years old. African fat tails can vocalise by…

1. No Rent or Mortgage. By purchasing and living in a van, you only have to pay your car and insurance bills. No contracts, no mortgages, no property taxes, and freedom plus mobility. You can customize your van however you need based on your wants and beliefs. The only money you'd spend is on the van and your customization (which vary on the person and van). 2. No (or few) Utility Bills. This goes back to personal preference. while some may be paying $350 for internet, $40 for their phone, and…

utilized a group of herbicides which became known as the “Rainbow Herbicides" (Murray 2005) These chemicals, prefixed with "agent" named for their color, were stored in 55 gallon metal barrels with a simple, color-coded strip to designate the contents, of all the "agents", Agent Orange was the most extensively utilized, with 150,000 gallons being sprayed each at the height of the conflict. The United States government officially dismissed claims that herbicides were harmful to human health as a…

referred to as the life blood of the state. With over 1,000 springs throughout Florida being fed freshwater from depths of up to 2,000 feet, no other aquifer in the United States can compare. Many of the aquifer fed springs, that once flowed millions of gallons of crystal clear 72-degree water, are now nothing more than algae filled mud holes. The aquifer is in peril, and one of the main contributors to the decline in health is the introduction of dangerous levels of nitrates. The health of the…

higher power output. A diesel engine is known for good fuel mileage and is more preferable today because they save a lot of fuel. Chuck Schifsky states, “Diesel fuel has a higher energy density than gasoline. One gallon of diesel contains approximately 147,000 BTUs of energy, while a gallon…

another trend that is still popular today. Prices of everyday objects have changed dramatically. In 1998, a gallon of gas cost only $1.15 (The Year 1998 From The People History). Today gas prices continue to sky rocket, but the average cost is $2.46 a gallon (Gas Prices Rise on Higher Crude Oil Costs). A gallon of milk was $3.16 (1990’s Flashback-Economy/Prices). Compared to today, a gallon of milk is only 30 cents more, priced at $3.46 (Bureau of Labor Statistics). Currently, a first class…
