It was a bright and cheery morning when Zane awoke in the castle. It had been two years since he had said goodbye to Josselyn to save her, yet he was still no where close to returning to her. He can only imagine how furious and worried she must be. Zane still does not know why he possesses the same magical abilities as the shadow men. The shadow men had been training him and testing his abilities, but nothing had come of it. They talked in hushed tones just low enough that he couldn’t hear and
Alistair awoke suddenly. He looked around. Nothing. He could have sworn that he heard something. He must have dreamt it. Alistair was just about to drift back to sleep when he heard it again. It was a slight rustling. Alistair rose from the cold mat serving as his bed. He had to discover what that was. He pulled on his dirty, patchwork cloak and rushed through the creaky door. Torbin, his master, wouldn’t even notice his absence. Alistair quickly ran towards the bushes where he had heard the noise
Wildlife Corridors With the continuously accelerating rate in the loss of wildlife habitat, there is a concern which greets the upcoming century. The problem with the presently remaining "untouched" wilderness is that large whole pieces of wild habitat end up manipulated to suit the needs of human populations. Often times mismanagement of land, besides the mere intrusion into a delicate habitat, exerts stress upon it’s state of equilibrium; so much so that certain species within an area become
Siliguri Corridor: The Insecurity Within. A passage or a corridor is a term that represents a connection between two or more spaces. It is this very feature (of connecting two places) of a tract of land that makes it so incredible in physical geography. In international relations, a corridor becomes significant not just because of the places it links but also because of the region that it is. Hence corridors demand and deserve a lot more attention than just those places that it attempts to unite
SWOT Analysis-Gateway Corridor Jacquelyn Layman Situation being analysed: Proposed Gateway Corridor BRT/LRT Project Strengths The overall reduced impact to the environment is an important element in the decision to implement mass transit in this region. One of the major concerns is the motor vehicle congestion, and the need for a more eco-friendly solution to meet the needs of the growing population. Another major concern is the lack of public transit options to the outlying suburban regions
Implications: Economic: Unfortunately wildlife corridors such as the TTC can be costly to create and maintain. Daniel Simberloff, a renowned ecologist and biologist who graduated from Harvard states “maintaining a corridor would be much more costly than refuges for endangered species” suggesting that transferring larger animals from one plot of land to another would be cheaper than buying land and building a corridor. This expense may deter people from backing this method even though results prove
The documentary Corridor of Shame focuses on the deplorable public school conditions in the area of South Carolina around Interstate-95. This area has very few businesses and almost no large industry present. This results in very low property tax totals when compared to other areas of South Carolina. Since property taxes are the main source of funding for schools, this area is financially unable to improve their school buildings or pay teachers a competitive wage. This results in degrading school

educated. However, in the novel The Water is Wide and the documentary Corridor of Shame, the opportunity of education is not fully there for those children. Luckily, Pat Conroy was eager to teach underprivileged kids on Yamacraw Island (Daufuskie Island), and parents and teachers are trying to help children living in the rural areas off I-95 known as the “Corridor of Shame”. The novel The Water is Wide and the documentary Corridor of Shame are very similar. Through both the novel and documentary, education
History of Euclid Avenue Corridor Euclid Avenue, referred to as “Millionaire’s Row” from the late 1800s to the 1920s, is one of the oldest corridors in Cleveland, Ohio. This corridor has undergone a number of redevelopment projects in the past century, as the city itself transformed from a commercial town in the 1800s, to the industrial city it is today. Large areas of the Euclid Avenue corridor were demolished in the 1960s, as part of a series of urban renewal programs. These programs were established

Joseph Ridgeway Grundy I am from a small town called Bristol Borough, Pennsylvania. It is along the Delaware River, about 25 miles northeast of Philadelphia. Bristol Borough was founded in 1681. This is the states third oldest borough, that was once a busy river port with important shipbuilding activities (Cohen 438). It is predominately residential, with the exception of Mill Street, the community's traditional commercial street. It includes fine examples of many major styles and idioms, reflecting
Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) Malaysia is the Malaysian ICT initiative designed to attract world-class technology companies and also leads the local ICT industry. It is also fully supported by the Government of Malaysia. In addition, MSC Malaysia has also led the transformation of the country into the K-economy over the past decade. MSC has developed into a dynamic ICT hub and thriving, hosting more than 900 multinationals, foreign-owned and Malaysian companies that started in 1996. The companies
All throughout Colorado there has been many developments and expansions. One of these developments is the railroad system. Railroads were and still are such an essential means of transportation for people as well for industries involving coal and fuel, and many other things. There are many key players and developers that took part in revitalizing Colorado in the 1870s. Some of these key players that contributed to the territory’s growth were William A.H. Loveland, Edward L. Berthoud, Henry M. Teller
approaches of habitat corridors for biodiversity conservation Anna R. Elliott1 ABSTRACT CONTENTS Key words: habitat corridors, biodiversity conservation, corridor ecology, habitat fragmentation, landscape connectivity. I. INTRODUCTION a. The Half Earth Plan The Half Earth Plan is a term coined recently by renowned biologist E.O. Wilson (Hiss, 2014). It describes the ambitious ideal of reserving half of the earth for biodiversity conservation by creating ecological corridors to connect habitats
1960’s and 1970’s the idea of corridor development, both planned and unplanned, was actively studied and discussed among spatial planners, designers and scientists (e.g. by C.F.G. Whebell, George R. Collins, C. Doxiadis). Many of these practitioners and scholars also encountered the difficulty of visualising the dynamics of corridors and often referred to (earlier) schemes and designs of linear cities. A study on both the definition and visualisation of corridors in this time-period may contribute
tourism with respect to tourist numbers and its infrastructure is not sustainable and poses a serious threat to the reserve. 6.1.3 Kosi river corridor • Wildlife corridors connecting tiger populations are crucial as they help in alleviating fragmentation of their habitats and are important for movement of animals with large home range like the tiger. • Corridors are crucial for long term genetic variation as the help to avoid habitat fragmentation, especially for animals like Tigers that have large
ourselves. "The brain has Corridors-surpassing Material place" (3-4). Surpassing all material things, the brain is past those things. Within the corridors are heaps of information that we sometimes even become unaware of. Something has to be a trigger, to set off a specific corridor in order to bring that information back to mind. Many times this is proven when a person whom has endured abuse as a child is counseled. Psychiatrists have to probe deep into those corridors to retrieve information that
