Manure

description of a “homunculus” – the creation of a fully formed, miniature man - Paracelsus introduced the following recipe: “Let the semen of a man putrefy by itself in a sealed cucurbite with the highest putrefaction of the venter equinus [horse manure] for forty days, or until it begins at last to live, move, and be agitated, which can easily be seen…If now, after this, it be everyday nourished and fed cautiously and prudently…

The majority of these sub-camps were located inside the “development zone” such as Babitz which opened in may 1942 and housed 159 men and 180 women. The women were in charge of milking cows, weeding, and spreading manure. The men were in charge of grooming horses, mowing hay, plowing, and harvesting crops. However some sub-camps were located outside of the “development zone” such as Freudenthal located more than 100 kilometers outside of the “development zone”. Freudenthal…

Gardening was a ‘forced’ hobby for a good portion of my childhood. Since elementary school, I worked with my dad in our back yard; I would dig holes, carry bags of manure, and plant flowers and trees. I complained that it would be easier to go to the store and buy a bag of blackberries instead of toiling in the sun for hours to achieve the same thing. I never imagined that I’d end up gardening for fun. Every year, my brother and I would collect the fruits of our labor; every year, I’d appreciate…

Question G. Vegetarianism became a thought during the Age of Revolution and during the French Revolution. There were many scientists and scholars who questioned things and searched for enlightenment in many areas. In England during the 17th century people became vegetarians for religious reasons. The main motive was to purify themselves as well as the world. In France, doctors started suggesting people not to eat meat for medical reasons. They thought it would be healthier for people to eat…

A Mountainous Change How would you define a life changing experience? Every person has one, but what characteristics make one simple event into something so drastically important? There are no limits as to what could be a person's life changing moment. Traveling the world could change a person's life, but so could reading a book. For me, I neither read a book nor traveled the world; I simply moved. When I was seven years old my parents decided spontaneously to move away from our home in Toronto,…

Another animal which is a part of factory farming is the pig and about 30 million of them must experience lives full of misery in Canada each year. Female pigs have their children separated from them at birth and are forced to spend their whole lives in 2 foot wide metal crates which are so small that they can’t lie down properly and can’t turn around. Isn’t it sad that these pigs will never be able to feel the sun on their backs or breathe in the fresh air but instead have to live their whole…

Figure 2: Biological Pest Control One of the major challenges of biological pest control is that it requires a substantial amount of human management role for proper inoculation of the natural enemy and its control which otherwise might have a negative impact on the native ecosystem. • Watershed Management: With an ever increasing agricultural productivity over the decades, the requirement of water for irrigation has been thumping, because of which proper watershed management has become a need…

What is considered litter? Before one can answer that, one must ask whether litter is an actual issue to the environment. According to Jean Scheid, from greenliving.lovetoknow.com, litter affects everything, from storm water drains to wildlife. Globally, litter kills life. In fact, according to Haley Wilhite from The Nature Conservancy, she states that plastics account for the deaths of more than one million seabirds, and 100,000 marine mammals every year. Some mammals rendered completely…

The value of the invasive Water hyacinth classifies as both detrimental and beneficial. The authors of The Jepson Manual, Vascular Plants of California describe the invasive plant as “Perhaps the world’s most troublesome aquatic weed.” The despised notions come from the fact that the aquatic weed increases its capacity to spread in water; peculiarly when the plant distances from its natural enemies in South America. The Water hyacinth growth appears as an island in freshwater bodies, or as a mat…
