Short Answers
In one suburban community the deer population has grown much too large. The deer are found in areas near homes and on busy streets. There have been many proposals to reduce the deer population. One method proposed is the ‘bait and shoot’ method, in which food is placed out as deer bait, then a certain number of deer are killed each year.
11.) State two possible reasons the deer population has grown so large. [4]
________________________________________…
________________________________________…
12.) Describe one problem the deer may cause in the community. [2]
________________________________________…
________________________________________…
13.) How is the bait and shoot method similar to population control in nature? [2]
________________________________________…
________________________________________…
14.) State one possible problem with the bait and shoot method. [2]
________________________________________…
________________________________________…
15.) Two other proposed methods for population control are:
> trapping and relocating some deer
> treating the deer with birth control drugs
For each of these methods, suggest one possible reasons it was not chosen. [4]

What Is Your Opinion Of The Westboro Baptist Church?

For those who don’t know the WBC is a “church” in Kansas who pickets outside of the funerals of dead US soldiers and outside of concerts and sporting events with signs like “Thank God for 9/11” and “Pray for more dead soldiers”. Example: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http…
They are not affiliated with any Baptist denomination and most Christians do not endorse their actions but what’s your opinion of them?

Is It Illegal If I Do This?

Recently I came across a website with a list of companies that people within a niche may find useful. The directory only includes the names of the companies, addresses and phone numbers. Here is my question: If I added more information on the companies to the information that was originally found on an organization’s website (ie email addresses, etc) and made a directory of the information, would I be breaking the law?

When Using Url Masking, Do You Need Access To The Server Of The Domain That You Don’t Want Showing?

As an affiliate for a product, I want an order form on my landing page. When the buyer completes the order form, I want the buyer to be taken to the company’s own checkout page (where they select how many of the product they want… and provide their payment info.) The problem is, I want those subsequent pages (checkout page and thank you page) to have my same domain and not show the company’s domain. How is it possible to code this? Essentially, the order form which will “live” on my landing page should be coded to actually be the parent company’s order form, but will simply contain my affiliate number in the code. Does this make sense… and is it possible? Thank you!!

I Played A Ouija Board?

Okay so me and my friends played a ouija board there was 4 of us altogether and we were playing with a candle and in the dark in my living room, we had guests over and they were outside with along my parents so me and my friends started blessing with a ouija board blessing and I didn’t play since I was scared. We also cleansed the shot glass burning it over a cande, like we read online. And there’s a rule you can’t talk if you’re not playing so I didn’t. So, nothing happened, and since I’m muslim and so is all my friends I was holding a quran the whole time. I was hugging it and after my friends were done they said goodbye. The rule to get rid of the board was to cut it in 7 pieces, sprinkle it with holy water and bury it. But before we did that, in our kitchen there was 2 huge bang noises. We screamed and my sister ran outside to the guests and hit my dad (cause he thought it was him usually he ***** around with us) but he was in middle of a ping pong game with his friend so there was NO way that he knocked on it and people were so shocked that my sister hit my dad and everyone said nothing happened and my mom swore to god she didn’t, and i know because she doesn’t swear to god for no reason. Then we said prayers to our home and people inside of us (all 4) then we cut the ouija board into 7 pieces but we didn’t really bury it and put holy water on it like we were supposed to, we just cut it in 7 pieces and my dad threw it in the trash and it’s about half an hour since that happened. I’m scared something will happen in my home, was it something or nothing? I just want to be sure because I’m not up for crazy **** in the middle of the night. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE respond soon, thank you.
