Name Teacher Class Date Rocky Mountain national Park The government passed the Rocky Mountain National Park act in 1915 which officially stated that it was a National Park. After World War II, with park had increased attendance from people all across the country. The National Park Service applied Mission 66 which is a nationwide development and improvement program to help the national parks. The Rocky Mountain National Park, like many parks, suffered from outdated facilities. Mission 66 brought new buildings, overlooks, employee housing, campgrounds, and visitor centers to Rocky Mountain National Park.
Tenkiller is a very large and beautiful man - made lake. Both bodies of water are sources of drinking water to the states they traverse. They both generate hydroelectric power that serves the many cities and states the electricity they need. The Arkansas River is a very large but shallow waterway that has been here long before Arkansas became a state. History records indicate The Arkansas River was home to and owned by Native American Indians, and traveled by many famous explorers.
Experts project another population increase of 100% over the next 100 years. This exponential growth in population means that more land is developed, water usage increases, more roads are built, etc. Approximately four million acres of land are developed each year. When land is altered for urban consumption, the development splits the ecosystem and leaves it in small, disconnected chunks. Eventually these areas become smaller and more isolated and their ability to maintain healthy populations of the indigenous plant and animal species is impacted.
Prisons go through a lot of hoops to receive funding and keep the facility running smoothly. There are standards that should be followed and much has changed as corrections have evolved over the years. This includes how facilities are run, the guidelines followed, and how prisons even come to exist. For more than 125 years, the American Correctional Association has championed the cause of corrections and correctional effectiveness ("American Correctional Association", n.d.). Founded in 1870 as the National Prison Association, ACA is the oldest association developed specifically for practitioners in the correctional profession ("American Correctional Association", n.d.).
Throughout its 4.6 billion years of existence, the Earth has cycled through many natural changes of warming and cooling. Yet, today’s increasing temperature is widely accepted by the fact that humans might be the main cause, instead of the natural temperature changes the Earth cycles every once in awhile. Consequently, the life sustaining environment has been forced to transform more rapidly as temperature changes, and one of the most deleterious results is drought. Drought has caused major problems globally, especially in the waterless West America. In the past, California mainly focused on delivering enough water across the state to meet its people’s usage.
Later on, concerns about individual health and cleanliness to prevent disease encouraged the development of the Health care and welfare services. The following essay will show how the number of reforms that took place during this time not only transformed Public Health throughout the 19th Century, but also set down the framework for future reform and laid down the foundation of what Public Health is today. From 1801 to 1901, the number of people living in the cities increased 78%. (Halliday, 2007, p 19) The modernisation of agriculture and industry caused a growing prosperity and this attracted migrations of people to the industrialised cities and towns, which suffered an unexpected demographic growth. Britain was the first industrialised nation, the so-called ‘industrial shop of the world’ and had a reputation to keep.
In the past 7 ½ years, I have been working for the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Our current mission statement is “Deliver vital public and military engineering services; partnering in peace and war to strengthen our Nation’s security, energize the economy and reduce risks from disasters.” (U. S. Army Corps of Engineers) Organization Description USACE got commissioned on March 16, 1802, and provided the engineers the responsibility of founding the US Military Academy at West Point. In more modern times the Corps “has responded to changing defense requirements and played an integral part in the development of the country. Throughout the 19th century, the Corps built coastal fortifications, surveyed roads and canals, eliminated navigational
The federal census had been taken every decade since 1790, because its data was needed to apportion each state's seats in the House of Representatives, in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. For the first fifty years federal marshals did the actual counting, by locating households within their districts and recording the number of people living there. Over time the nature of the information collected became broader and more detailed; it included social statistics about taxes collected, real estate values, wages, education, and crime. In 1880 Congress shifted responsibility for the census from the marshals to specially appointed experts trained to collect not only population statistics but also data on manufacturing and other economic activities. By 1890, punch cards were being used to record data and an electric tabulating machine was used to process those cards.
Persian Empire The Persian Empire was one of not just a great military conquering empire but one of immense beauty and technological engineering of it’s kind and age. This empire was built on engineering feats never before seen from roadways to canals, to even finding water and filter water from rocks Persia was also ruled by some of the greatest kings of all time, from Cyrus the Great to Darius the III. This vast empire was ruled all the way from North Africa to Northern India or otherwise know as Asia minor. One of the first kings of Persia was Cyrus the Great. Cyrus knew that one thing they needed to become one of the greatest empires of all time was to be able to channel water to there empire, so Cyrus was the first to come up with the first way of getting water out of rocks.
Brennen Hodge April 23. 2009 Biological Research Dr. Rauch Optimal Foraging Theory The topic of this paper is optimal foraging theory. With that in mind, some ideas need to be described first. Organisms are constantly interacting with the environment they are present in. Each organism has its role to play in the environment to keep the cycle of life regulated in a biosphere.
