Vetivere oil may help repel ticks and other biting insects, and even termites. Use vetiver topically as a bug repellant, or spray directly onto surfaces where ticks or termites may roam. Vetiver oil also possesses strong free radical scavenging activity and therefore, works as a proven antioxidant. Vetiver oil also heals scars by helping regenerate skin and…

In our world today, we place a lot of emphasis on innate intelligence and high IQ. However, in his book, Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell challenges our mythical idea of success. He argues that “the relationship between success and IQ works only up to a point”, and that other factors can play a greater role. I agree with Gladwell’s argument that IQ alone does not determine an individual’s success because I believe that qualities like economic status, work ethic, and mindset can be equally, or even…

In the early 1960’s Jane Goodall traveled to the Gombe Stream Reserve in Tanzania to study chimpanzee development and their social interactions. During her early years of study, Goodall discovered much about the social complexity of chimpanzee societies and their hierarchies, along with their development which is, for the most part, very similar to the development of our species. Throughout the book, Jane Goodall describes the many challenges she faced trying to get the protective chimpanzees…

began to explain the evolution of technology. How it was once believed that only humans could create tools that were useful and considered them as technological. When Jan Goodall observed a chimpanzee peel a twig and put in in a termite hill, pulled it out covered in termite. He not only created a tool but also used thought process to create it. This in turn rules out the theory that humans are the only tool makers. Technology could also be defined as a necessity but it doesn’t serve the purpose…

made from the recycled material of cars. When you build with steel, it will conserve raw materials, energy and other natural resource. In addition, if you live in a termite or mold prone area, you do not have to pay the cost for toxic fumigation. Hawaii has made widespread use of steel homes because they have the destructive Formosan termite that has a nasty reputation of wiping out a home in a little under a year. Also, there is less concern related to the structural repairs. In addition, when…

Adolescent dating violence is becoming more and more common in our society, unfortunately. “The early to mid-teenage years mark a time in which romantic relationships begin to emerge.(first source)” Developmentally, relationships at this age can serve as a very positive influence; moreover, for some, dating only forces them into a dark place. It begins with what the adolescent may consider to be “dating.” Dating has changed dramatically over the years. When we try to understand how dating has…

Swarm behavior is one of the main characteristics of different colonies of social insects (bees, wasps, ants, termites). This type of behavior is first and foremost characterized by autonomy, distributed functioning and self-organizing. Swarm Intelligence, SI, is considered to be the area of Artificial Intelligence that is based on studying actions of individuals in various decentralized systems~\cite{bonabeau1999}. However, there is still today big discrepancy between two schools of thought in…

General Overview Description: The central African savanna biome is a tropical grassland characterized by its thick grassy plains and few dispersed trees that do not have a high enough tree density to form a closed canopy. Consequently, this allows for sunlight to reach the ground, supporting a thick and healthy layer of plantlife consisting primarily of grass. It is also characterized by its seasonal availability in water as a large majority of its rainfall is subject to one season.…
