In the article, "Generically Modified Food: Should Labels Be Required?" the author Jason McLure provides a broad discussion about the pros and cons with GMO foods. The author presents a controversy between the supporters of GMO's big producers and the supporters of organic farmers. On one side, GMO farmers argue about the benefits of these foods. On the other side, opponents of GMO foods question why GMO foods are not labeled and the harms it may cause to the environment. The article states…

from Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) or Mad Cow Disease is a fatal disease found in cattle. The disease is also linked to variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD), which causes degeneration of spinal cord in human that leads to patients showing neurological symptoms and death. There is currently no treatment for both diseases. BSE has a long incubation period, which makes it difficult to discover the infection at the beginning stage. Moreover, prion…

Park #1 Great Basin National Park Nevada Cool Desert Bristlecone pine The Bristlecone Pine has a great root system allows it to capture as much water as it can since there’s not a lot of precipitation in the Great Basin. The needles can be on a tree for 40 years compared to others which only live for the max of five years. This means it can save energy and won’t have to constantly replenish its needles. Bristlecone pines put space between themselves and other trees which is important when…

crape myrtle trees. And, it’s only one pruning mistake. Drastic pruning can kill whatever it is you’re trying to shape. When it comes time to deadhead roses or trim boxwoods, figure out how to do it properly before wielding those electric-, gas- or human-powered choppers! Errant Planting Techniques Here’s another ode to read-the-directions. Planting shrubs, ornamental trees or flowering annuals and perennials requires more preparation than digging holes, First, check the tags on their pots for…

To keep an Ancient Chinese dynasty great you must have good geography, social structure and and government/philosophy. In geography you must have good vegetation, physical feature and climate because you need a good place to grow crops and survive. In social structure you must have rulers who are wealthy at the top and poor people at the bottom. If there are no rulers your dynasty would have no laws and be out of order. In government/philosophy my Ancient Chinese dynasty would run on legalism…

Part A-Federal, State and Local involvement in government regulation On the Federal level, they have standards that have to be met before new products can enter the marketplace; they also have standards in “truth –in –labeling, truth-in-packaging and truth-in-lending” (Milikovich & Gordon, 2013, p. 460). They have a say now in everything we do, eat, drive, or even say there is a regulation for just about everything in our daily lives. State regulations are similar to those on the federal level,…

In today’s technology, we can safely assume that GMOs can be produced and engineered in many different ways. There’s a leading multimillionaire genetic company called, Monsanto. Monsanto is an engineering company designed to alter and change organisms in their labs. Like for example, Monsanto would take a seed of an organism and alter its DNA in the way farmers would like it. Monsanto alters DNA and then instead of always farming their own seeds, they sell their DNA altered seeds also known as…
