The Flatworm Phylum includes two groups of well-known parasitic species; the Tapeworms ... and Flukes .... These are important species to humans directly and indirectly through their negative interactions with food and ornamental animal life, including fishes.

CONT

Dimetrazole [is] widely used in the treatment of bacterial disease and protozoom disease of pig, cattle, horse, fowl, economic animal and some ornamental animal.

CONT

[Parrots] became more widely available and popular. Keep in mind, however, that parrot availability was still limited to the highest echelons of society. Keeping an ornamental animal that did not useful work around the farm or home was entirely out of reach for the average citizen.

Subject field(s)
  • Landscape Architecture
DEF

The manipulated, artificially created landscape of the face of the Earth, including farms, ranches, estates, roads, cities, gardens, parks, pastures, and other areas.

OBS

Man-made landscape is always an expression of society, culture, and local geography, and is traditionally the basic area of concern for the landscape architect. The cultural landscape may also be the larger, regional landscape in which a society traditionally finds its home, develops its myths, and imagines its future.

CONT

Combinations of the three main plant types -- trees, shrubs, and groundcovers -- are found everywhere in nature, but the lack of any one of them from the scene, especially in "hand-made" landscapes, can create a genuine sense of omission. This reaction suggests keeping the plant trio together in some form or other.

French

Domaine(s)

CONT

Long Distance Caregiving. In today's society, it has become fairly common for grown children to leave home to pursue different lifestyles and work opportunities. It's also becoming more common for parents to move.... As a result of all this movement, a growing number of adult sons and daughters are discovering just how hard it is to try to ensure the welfare of aging parents who live hundreds, sometimes thousands, of miles away. A quick-fix solution to this problem of distant caregiving might seem to be to have the parents relocate, to bring them nearer to the grown children and their families, perhaps even to have them move in with them.

CONT

Les soins à distance. Au-delà des kilomètres, prendre soin de parents âgés. De nos jours, il arrive souvent que les membres de la famille habitent à des centaines de kilomètres l'un de l'autre. Et, tandis que la famille s'éparpille toujours un peu plus, de nombreux enfants adultes sont confrontés à une dure réalité : comment dispenser des soins à distance à des parents âgés? Pour ces familles, la distance qui existe entre l'enfant adulte et ses parents âgés peut présenter des difficultés très particulières en matière de soins. Les personnes qui dispensent des soins à distance sont confrontées aux mêmes préoccupations émotionnelles et financières que celles qui le font dans leur voisinage, sauf qu'elles éprouvent en plus de la culpabilité et de l'anxiété du fait qu'elles ne peuvent être auprès des êtres chers. Cependant, les soins à distance peuvent être efficaces : il suffit de planifier et de ne rien laisser à l'improvisation.
