I’m humans, some cats readily trust me and enjoy sure an outdoor window would be even more popular but that isn’t feasible. When we had cats, those in my care always received extra human attention. Some of them wanted to be petted or groomed while others preferred to just watch me doing the chores. Most of them enjoyed it when I played with them, throwing a small ball in the room or dragging a piece of rope with a toy attached to it. Each of our cages is furnished with a hammock or a comfortable raised resting board which all the cats seem to love, plus 1 it when I visit and groom them. Others are better left alone because they have difficulties overcoming their mistrust of humans. However, they also enjoy watching from a safe distance what is going on in the room. I believe that the unobtrusive presence of the attending caregiver is the most effective enrichment that can be offered to single-caged cats. Once they have overcome their distrust of humans, most cats like it when you interact with them in a friendly, cat-appropriate way. Under those circumstances, the attending care personnel can provide high-quality environmental

    Juvies By Dea Miranti, James Lim and Gloria Tanuseputra "Where there’s crime, there’s violence. Where there’s youth, there’s love" INT. THERAPY ROOM - DAY (Present) A therapy session where the juveniles are sitting in a circle and the counselor is encouraging them to share their stories. COUNSELOR Ryan, do you have something to share? RYAN Finally got into exercise mode. Did about 30 reps. COUNSELOR Wow, that’s an incredible progress Ryan. And how do you feel about that? RYAN Aite. I shoud’ve done more. COUNSELOR Well, we all need to take it one step at a time. But you keep that up. Anyone else? How about you Jules? Julie looks up and pauses before shaking her head, shy but discontent at the same time. COUNSELOR Hmm okay. Anything interesting during the weekend? JULIE None. Ryan looks at her with a little smirk of awkwardness. COUNSELOR Alright then, by the end of today find a partner. Someone you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts with. 2. EXT. FIELD AND COURTYARD - DAY (Present) Julie sits among the fences on the field alone, stares outward. Other juveniles separated from her but she likes it that way. Various background noises of chatters. After a moment she caught him looking at her as he walks towards her. RYAN Hey! You were in that session too. JULIE Yea, what do you want? Ryan smiles, looks down and up again. He thought for a few seconds. RYAN Partner up. JULIE As if! RYAN What’s with you and sharing? Julie stood still with crossed arms and looks away.

Upon transfer to adult court, your child will be treated as an adult in the court. Transfer brings a different set of rights, restrictions and proce- dures than in the juvenile system.

    1 Poems About Eagles This Is a Collection of Poems

    Poems About Eagles This is a collection of poems - old and new - that have been written about eagles. Some you may recognize because they are included in anthologies. Others are from “Kindred Spirits” whose musings about eagles lead them to put pen to paper. Some have been sent to us to share, and we are happy to do so here. If you have a poem you’d like to share about eagles, please email [email protected]. The Dalliance of Eagles by Walt Whitman Skirting the river road, (my forenoon walk, my rest,) Skyward in air a sudden muffled sound, the dalliance of the eagles, The rushing amorous contact high in space together, The clinching interlocking claws, a living, fierce, gyrating wheel, Four beating wings, two beaks, a swirling mass tight grappling, In tumbling turning clustering loops, straight downward falling, Till o’er the river pois’d, the twain yet one, a moment’s lull, A motionless still balance in the air, then parting, talons loosing, Upward again on slow-firm pinions slanting, their separate diverse flight, She hers, he his, pursuing. f The Eagle Isaiah 40:31 by Edwin Curran KJV The dome of heaven is thy house But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their Bird of the mighty wing, strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they The silver stars are as thy boughs shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not Around thee circling. faint. f Thy perch is on the eaves of heaven Thy white throne all the skies Thou art like lightning driven Flashing over paradise! f 1 The Eagle by Isaac McLellan (1806-1899) Monarch of the realms supernal, Thou wingest where a tropic sky Ranger of the land and sea, Bendeth its celestial dome, Symbol of the Grand Republic, Where sparkling waters greet the eye, Who so noble and so free? And gentlest breezes fan the foam; Thine the boundless fields of either, Where spicy breath from groves of palm, Heaven’s unfathom’d depths are thine; Laden with aromatic balm, Far beyond our human vision, Blows ever, mingled with perfume On thy vans the sunbeams shine.

Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

La ganancia de humedad fue modelado con la isoterma de sorción, ley de Fick y ley de Henry. El modelo obtenido fue integrado por el método de Simpson para obtener el tiempo de vida que es tiempo para llegar a la actividad de agua crítica (awc) que fue obtenido por evaluación sensorial. Se encontró que la isoterma de sorción es de tipo II ajustándose mejor al modelo Smith (R² > 0,99), la awc es 0,4676, el tiempo de vida predicha por ganancia de humedad oscila entre 41,5 a 386,2 días, disminuyendo cuando la temperatura, humedad relativa y permeabilidad del empaque aumentan. La determinación de tiempo de vida por rancidez se realizó por pruebas aceleradas a 30, 40, 50 y 55°C, evaluándose el valor de peróxido (PV), determinándose el orden de reacción (n), velocidad de reacción (K) y la energía de activación (Ea), estableciéndose el modelo de deterioro, con el valor inicial y el límite de valor de peróxido de 10 meq 02/kg se realizó la predicción de vida útil.
  • Risk/Benefit Evaluation of Traditional and Novel Formulations for Snacking: Acrylamide and Furfurals As Process Contaminants

    Risk/Benefit Evaluation of Traditional and Novel Formulations for Snacking: Acrylamide and Furfurals As Process Contaminants

    Risk/benefit evaluation of traditional and novel formulations for snacking: Acrylamide and furfurals as process contaminants M. Mesías, C. Delgado-Andrade, F.J. Morales Institute of Food Science, Technology and Nutrition, ICTAN-CSIC, Madrid 28040, Spain ABSTRACT Novel alternatives for snacking contain ingredients such as pseudo-cereals, roots or legumes, which offer health related benefits to consumers. Alternative technological processes have been introduced within the snack industry that encompass valued sensorial characteristics and improve nutritional quality of the new formulations. However, the impact of the novel formulations on the exposure to process contaminants must also be carefully evaluated. The present study investigated the occurrence of acrylamide, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural in novel formulations and compared this with that seen in traditional snacks. Some novel snacks presented high levels of acrylamide, specifically chips with a potato- based dough (1252–1393 µg/kg) and chips made from other vegetables (carrot chips: 958 µg/kg; beet chips: 908 µg/kg). These samples demonstrated concentrations that exceeded those observed in traditional snacks (44–671 µg/kg). The average values of HMF and furfural in the novel formulations were also significantly higher than traditional ones (approximately 2.5- and 3-fold, respectively). The snack manufacturing industry should consider the nutritional and sensorial improvements gained through the application of alternative technological process or the addition of health-promoting ingredients in the design of innovative snacks. This must be considered alongside toxicological aspects which reduce the content of process contaminants. KEYWORDS: Traditional snacks, Acrylamide, Hydroxymethylfurfural, Furfural, Exposure, Food analysis, Food composition 1. INTRODUCTION The consumption of snacks has increased in recent decades, becoming part of the dietary habits and lifestyle of many consumers (MAPAMA, 2017).

Stephen Dobson Understanding how captivity affects the behavioral and development traits of a species is important for management and conservation in zoos. The ecology of squirrel monkeys ( Saimiri sp.) may be different in captivity than in their natural environment. I investigated five common ecological aspects: reproduction, vigilant behaviors, life history traits, and generational changes in seasonality.
