Thomas Edison was an American inventor who is famous for inventing the carbon telephone transmitter, phonograph, motion picture camera, and developing the first practical incandescent electric light. Some of his key achievements include inventing the phonograph which could both record and playback sound, developing a motion picture camera and establishing one of the first film studios, and creating the first industrial research lab which led to many innovations including helping develop the modern electric power infrastructure.
A veterinarian is a qualified professional who treats diseases and injuries in animals. To become a veterinarian requires completing eight years of college education, including four years of undergraduate studies and four years of veterinary medical school. Veterinarians need skills in areas like computers, hands-on experience, critical thinking, communication, and technical skills working with medical equipment. Their responsibilities include diagnosing patients, vaccinations, surgeries, prescribing medications, and providing health recommendations. Veterinarians work with a variety of animals and have unpredictable working conditions like risks of bites or scratches. The career outlook is positive with a growing demand for veterinarians and average salaries ranging from $60,000 for new graduates up to $90
The document discusses animal testing and argues that it is cruel and should not be allowed. It notes that millions of animals suffer and die in testing each year and describes some of the types of tests conducted on animals, including poisoning and physical injury. Alternatives to animal testing are presented, and several organizations opposed to animal testing are mentioned.
Isaac Newton was one of the greatest scientists of all time. He made seminal contributions to physics, mathematics, and optics. In physics, he formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation, as published in his masterwork Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica in 1687. In mathematics, he developed calculus independently of Leibniz, though priority disputes arose. In optics, Newton showed that white light is composed of the visible colors through experiments with prisms. The story is told of Newton developing his theory of gravitation after seeing an apple fall from a tree. Newton had a wide range of interests beyond science as well, including alchemy, religion, and chronology. He never married and had
This document provides an overview of arguments against animal experiments. It discusses how over 3.5 million animals are used in experiments annually in the UK, many of which experience suffering without anesthesia. It questions whether animal experiments are reliable predictors of human outcomes, citing numerous examples where drugs and treatments proved safe in animals but caused harm in humans. The document also notes that only a small percentage of animals are used for developing new medicines, and that there are growing alternative research methods that can replace animal testing while being more effective and humane.
Guy Montag is a fireman whose job is to burn books, as reading is illegal. He begins to question this after meeting Clarisse and witnessing an old woman choose death over giving up her books. Montag starts secretly collecting and reading books himself. However, his wife Mildred turns him in for his illegal activities. Rather than burning the books, Montag kills his captain and flees the city with a group that has memorized books to preserve the stories. They then go to help survivors after Montag's former city is bombed in a war.
Marissa Mayer had a small-town childhood in Wausau, Wisconsin where she demonstrated an early affinity for math and science. She attended Stanford University where she studied computer science and cognitive psychology. After graduating, she worked at research labs in Zurich and California before joining Google in 1999 as employee number 20. At Google, she led many successful projects including the launches of Gmail, Google Maps, and Google News. In 2012, she became CEO of Yahoo with the goal of restoring the company's profitability and morale.

Veterinarians diagnose and treat diseases and injuries in animals. They care for both large farm animals and small pets. Veterinarians work either in private clinics or make farm visits. They must earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree and be licensed. The field is expected to grow in the coming years due to an increasing number of pets and focus on animal health. Veterinarians use technologies like x-rays, ultrasounds, and lasers to diagnose and treat animal patients.

Rachel Schott wants to become a veterinarian because she loves animals and wants to save their lives. To become a veterinarian requires obtaining a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree after completing 2-4 years of undergraduate education. Veterinarians work either in private practices treating small animals like dogs and cats indoors, or in mobile clinics treating large animals like horses outdoors. The career outlook for veterinarians is strong with expected job growth and higher earnings potential for those with advanced specializations.
This document provides tips for creating effective PowerPoint presentations. It notes that many presentations are "unbearable" due to a lack of significance, structure, simplicity, and rehearsal. It emphasizes the importance of having a clear purpose for your presentation, using a simple structure like problem-solution, keeping slides concise with minimal text and images over clipart, writing speaker notes instead of long slides for printing, and rehearsing your presentation aloud to work out any issues. The overall message is that presentations should be passionate, memorable and scalable through a focus on simplicity and clarity of message.
