neg: The First Nighter Program The First Nighter Program was a long-running radio anthology comedy-drama series broadcast from November 27 , 1930 , to September 27 , 1953 . The host was Mr. First Nighter ( Charles P. Hughes , Macdonald Carey , Bret Morrison , Marvin Miller , Don Briggs and Rye Billsbury -LSB- later known as Michael Rye -RSB- ) .   An article in a 1939 newspaper observed , `` First Nighter was the first show to present complete and separate original plays each week . ''   The show 's opening recreated the aural atmosphere of a Broadway opening . Before each week 's drama began , Mr. First Nighter was first heard walking on Broadway , emerging from the noise of people and street traffic into the crowded lobby of `` the Little Theater Off Times Square '' and then taking his seat in the third row center , where he gave the whispered introduction :  The house lights have dimmed , and the curtain is about to go up on tonight 's production .   Romantic comedies were the specialty of the series , and the principal roles were played by the teams of Don Ameche and June Meredith ( 1930 -- 36 ) , Ameche and Betty Lou Gerson ( 1935 -- 36 ) , Les Tremayne and Barbara Luddy ( 1936 -- 43 ) and  Olan Soule and Luddy ( 1943 and after ) .  Joseph T. Ainley produced and directed the series . The announcers were Larry Keating and Vincent Pelletier . Music was provided by `` The Famous First Nighter Orchestra '' , under the direction of Eric Sagerquist ( 1930 -- 44 ) , Caesar Petrillo ( 1945 -- 46 ) and Frank Worth ( 1947 -- 53 ) .   The most popular episode may have been the annual Christmas episode , `` Little Town of Bethlehem , '' which was first performed in 1937 and every year afterwards at the request of the listening audience .   Performing before a studio audience , the actors wore formal attire , with Luddy in a gown and Tremayne clad in evening clothes and top hat . Commercial breaks were signalled with the usher 's cry `` Smoking downstairs and in the outer lobby only , please ! '' , with the action resuming with a buzzer and the usher 's curtain call .   The series ran on four radio networks in the following timeline :  NBC Blue Network : 11/27/30 to 09/29/33  NBC Red Network : 10/06/33 to 02/12/37  CBS : 02/19/37 to 12/21/37  NBC Red Network : 01/07/38 to 08/26/38  CBS : 09/02/38 to 05/29/42  Mutual : 10/04/42 to 10/25/44  CBS : 10/20/45 to 04/13/46 and 10/04/47 to 10/20/49  NBC ( reruns ) : 04/27/52 to 09/27/53   The show was hosted by The Campana Company and solely featured commercials for their products . Due largely in part to this exposure , their Italian Balm became the best-selling hand lotion in the United States in the 1930s .

neg: Child actor The term child actor or child actress is generally applied to a child acting on stage or in motion pictures or television , but also to an adult who began his or her acting career as a child ; to avoid confusion , the latter is also called a former child actor .

neg: Take Hart Take Hart is a British children 's television show about art , presented by Tony Hart . It took over from Vision On , and ran from 1977 until 1983 . The show featured Hart and the animated Plasticine character Morph , and other characters created by David Sproxton like ` Smoulder the Moulder ' , which was a lump of mould which would create props by ` spraying ' them out of a spray can . The only other human to appear on a regular basis was Mr Bennett , the caretaker , played by Colin Bennett . The programme won a BAFTA award for Hart in 1984 .   As well as demonstrating small-scale projects ( the type that viewers might be able to do ) , Hart also created large-scale artworks on the TV studio floor , and even used beaches and other open spaces as ` canvases ' ( to be viewed from a camera-crane ) . This idea was later adopted by Art Attack , which began in 1990 .   A regular feature of the show was ` The Gallery ' , which displayed artworks sent in by young viewers . The easy-listening vibraphone music accompanying this feature - `` Left Bank Two '' , composed by Wayne Hill - has passed into British TV musical lore . In later series , `` Left Bank Two '' alternated with John Williams ' recording of `` Cavatina '' , which is also well-remembered by many viewers .   By the end of the eighth series in December 1983 , Hart felt that the format of the show , which essentially continued with much of the format of its predecessor Vision On , had become somewhat outdated and routine . Despite the award of a BAFTA in early 1984 , viewing figures for Take Hart by 1983 had gradually fallen since the series ' heyday in the late 1970s . In an attempt to update the image of the series , Take Hart was dropped in December 1983 , and replaced by the relatively more popular series Hartbeat .   Some 2 inch Quadruplex videotape master copies of Take Hart episodes were irretrievably junked by Adam Lee of the BBC archives in 1993 on the assumption that they were ` no use ' and that examples of some other episodes were sufficient . A few months later , access to the material was requested by the head of Children 's BBC 's light entertainment department for a documentary on Tony Hart .

neg: The Magic Window The Magic Window ( also known as The House with the Magic Window ) was an American children 's television program broadcast on ABC affiliate WOI-TV in Ames , Iowa from 1951 to 1994 . With a run of 43 years , it was the longest running children 's television program in American history . ( Bozo 's Circus technically had a longer run ; however , it was made in many different local markets by different producers . ) Producer Dick Hartzell and WOI TV artist Joy ( Ringham ) Munn developed the show as an educational children 's program , which featured handicraft activities , news items , and birthday recognition for the children viewing the show . Joy co-hosted the show with Craighton Knau for the first season ( 1951-1952 ) , which was 30 minutes long and aired 3 times per week . During the second season , she became the sole host of the program . For that season the show was 15 minutes long and aired 5 days per week . Joy left the show in 1953 . For all but the first three years of the show , it was hosted by Betty Lou Varnum , another pioneer in central-Iowa broadcasting .   Betty Lou Varnum , who is best known for The Magic Window , but was versatile enough to host such other shows as a teen dance party , election coverage , and a call in ` issues ' show , hosted the show , along with a cast of puppets such as Gregory Lion , Dusty the Unicorn , and Catrina Crocodile . The heart of the show was Betty Lou teaching kids a new craft each episode ( using kid-safe items such as construction paper , safety scissors , and cellophane tape ) . The puppets would help out by opening the curtain to the screen on which various featurettes were shown . These included episodes from Tales of the Riverbank , Felix the Cat , and a series called `` Let 's Be Friends '' which introduced viewers to a child from another city or country , sharing their culture and lifestyle .

neg: Soap opera rapid aging syndrome Soap opera rapid aging syndrome ( SORAS ) is the practice of accelerating the age of a television or film character ( usually a child or teenager ) in conflict with the timeline of a series and/or the real-world progression of time . This allows for , for instance , storylines around a pregnancy and birth to be relatively quickly followed by storylines around the travails of that child as a teenager or young adult . This is usually accomplished by recasting the actor playing the part , although in some cases the character is not shown onscreen , only mentioned , until after they have been `` rapidly aged '' .   The process originated ( and is most commonly used ) in daytime soap operas , though it is also sometimes used in prime time shows . On sitcoms , a newborn infant character is sometimes aged quickly into a kindergartner , for greater comic potential , as was done with the character Chrissy Seaver on Growing Pains in 1990 .   The term was coined by Soap Opera Weekly founding editor-in-chief Mimi Torchin in the early days of the magazine , which began publishing in 1989 . It is now widely used in the soap opera media and is sometimes used as a verb as well ( `` the character was SORASed '' ) . Torchin has jokingly called it `` my one greatest contribution to the world of soap operas . ''

The show has since become a cult favourite and remains one of the most widely recognised family entertainment shows of the 1980s . Digital children 's channel Pop started rerunning the show in 2010 . Both seasons are currently available on iTunes .

neg: Ann Flood Ann Flood ( born Maryanne Ott , on November 12 , 1934 ) is an American actress , best known for her role as journalist/author Nancy Pollock Karr in the soap opera The Edge of Night , a role she began in 1962 . Flood portrayed the show 's heroine for 22 years , witnessing the show 's transition from live to taped broadcasts and its move from CBS to ABC .   Flood was born in Jamaica , New York . She enjoyed notable roles on Broadway , making her debut in 1954 's Kismet and going on to play opposite Don Ameche in 1957 's Holiday for Lovers . Her television debut came earlier , in a 1952 live production of the W. S. Gilbert play , The Fortune Hunter , for WOR-TV . She became a regular performer on golden age live TV shows , including Sergeant Bilko , Armstrong Circle Theatre , Kraft Theatre , and The Philco Television Playhouse . She was also known for roles in various commercials , including those for Good Seasons salad dressing . Before starting on The Edge of Night , she played the leading role of another journalist , Elizabeth `` Liz '' Fraser Allen in the short-lived soap opera From These Roots from 1958-61 .   In The Edge of Night , Nancy 's marriage to Mike Karr remains as one of the longest in soap history . Nancy and Mike had no children of their own , but the character of Laurie ( Mike 's daughter by his first wife Sara ) came to consider Nancy as her mother . Flood continued in the role through the series ' finale in 1984 , by which time she was the show 's longest-serving cast member . For her work on the show , Flood was twice nominated for the Daytime Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series , in 1982 and 1984 .   After Edge of Night , Flood continued to act in daytime dramas . She was cast in a succession of shorter-term and recurring roles , playing Ella Hobbs , a villain on Search for Tomorrow , who tried to kill the show 's leading character , Joanne , and played a variety of society matrons on Another World ( Rose Livingston , 1986-1987 ) , One Life to Live ( Mrs. Guthrie , 1991 ) , and As the World Turns , recurring from 1992-1993 as business executive Ruth Mansfield .

neg: Children's film A children 's film , or family film , is a film genre that contains children or relates to them in the context of home and family . Children 's films are made specifically for children and not necessarily for the general audience , while family films are made for a wider appeal with a general audience in mind . Children 's films come in several major forms like realism , fantasy , adventure , animation , war , musicals , and literary adaptations .

neg: 24 Hours in the Past 24 Hours in the Past was a BBC One living history TV series first broadcast in 2015 . Six celebrities were immersed in a recreation of impoverished life in Victorian Britain . Each of the four episodes represented 24 hours living and working in four different occupations .   A key part of the series was its immersive nature . The four episodes were ostensibly filmed in direct sequence , and the participants lived , ate and slept in the often filthy conditions portrayed .   Living history has become a popular theme in recent UK TV series , usually involving Ruth Goodman and regular collaborators in a long-term series , filmed in intermittent episodes with a cast of historians . This series took a different pitch , using a continuous filming technique without the respite of hotels between episodes and cast with `` the randomest collection of participants '' to create an air of surprise at their conditions .

neg: Chez Hélène Chez Hélène is a children 's television series produced by and broadcast on CBC Television . The 15-minute weekday program was broadcast on the English television network to provide viewers with exposure to the French language .   The program was produced at CBC 's Montreal studios . It began its 14-season run on 26 October 1959 , with the final program airing 25 May 1973 .   Hélène Baillargeon portrayed the title role . Other cast members were Madeleine Kronby who portrayed the bilingual Louise , and a mouse puppet named Suzie who generally spoke English . Corinne Orr provided the voice for Suzie .   In terms of children 's series , the program remained popular in its final season , with a reported 437 000 viewers recorded by BBM in November 1972 . But CBC executives cancelled the series claiming that the series had run its course , and that the network 's broadcasts of Sesame Street would incorporate five minutes of French-language segments per episode .


query: Elephants have been featured in places.

pos: Elephant Elephants are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea . Three species are recognised , the African bush elephant ( Loxodonta africana ) , the African forest elephant ( L. cyclotis ) , and the Asian elephant ( Elephas maximus ) . Elephants are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa , South Asia , and Southeast Asia . Elephantidae is the only surviving family of the order Proboscidea ; other , now extinct , members of the order include deinotheres , gomphotheres , mammoths , and mastodons . Male African elephants are the largest extant terrestrial animals and can reach a height of 4 m and weigh 7000 kg . All elephants have several distinctive features , the most notable of which is a long trunk or proboscis , used for many purposes , particularly breathing , lifting water , and grasping objects . Their incisors grow into tusks , which can serve as weapons and as tools for moving objects and digging . Elephants ' large ear flaps help to control their body temperature . Their pillar-like legs can carry their great weight . African elephants have larger ears and concave backs while Asian elephants have smaller ears and convex or level backs .   Elephants are herbivorous and can be found in different habitats including savannahs , forests , deserts , and marshes . They prefer to stay near water . They are considered to be keystone species due to their impact on their environments . Other animals tend to keep their distance from elephants while predators , such as lions , tigers , hyenas , and any wild dogs , usually target only young elephants ( or `` calves '' ) . Females ( `` cows '' ) tend to live in family groups , which can consist of one female with her calves or several related females with offspring . The groups are led by an individual known as the matriarch , often the oldest cow . Elephants have a fission -- fusion society in which multiple family groups come together to socialise . Males ( `` bulls '' ) leave their family groups when they reach puberty and may live alone or with other males . Adult bulls mostly interact with family groups when looking for a mate and enter a state of increased testosterone and aggression known as musth , which helps them gain dominance and reproductive success . Calves are the centre of attention in their family groups and rely on their mothers for as long as three years . Elephants can live up to 70 years in the wild . They communicate by touch , sight , smell , and sound ; elephants use infrasound , and seismic communication over long distances . Elephant intelligence has been compared with that of primates and cetaceans . They appear to have self-awareness and show empathy for dying or dead individuals of their kind .   African elephants are listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature ( IUCN ) while the Asian elephant is classed as endangered . One of the biggest threats to elephant populations is the ivory trade , as the animals are poached for their ivory tusks . Other threats to wild elephants include habitat destruction and conflicts with local people . Elephants are used as working animals in Asia . In the past , they were used in war ; today , they are often controversially put on display in zoos , or exploited for entertainment in circuses . Elephants are highly recognisable and have been featured in art , folklore , religion , literature , and popular culture .

neg: Arabian oryx The Arabian oryx or white oryx ( Oryx leucoryx ) is a medium-sized antelope with a distinct shoulder bump , long , straight horns , and a tufted tail . It is a bovid , and the smallest member of the Oryx genus , native to desert and steppe areas of the Arabian Peninsula . The Arabian oryx was extinct in the wild by the early 1970s , but was saved in zoos and private preserves , and was reintroduced into the wild starting in 1980 .   In 1986 , the Arabian oryx was classified as endangered on the IUCN Red List , and in 2011 , it was the first animal to revert to vulnerable status after previously being listed as extinct in the wild . It is listed in CITES Appendix I . In 2011 , populations were estimated at over 1,000 individuals in the wild , and 6,000 -- 7,000 individuals in captivity worldwide .   A Qatari oryx named `` Orry '' was chosen as the official games mascot for the 2006 Asian Games in Doha , and is shown on tailfins of planes belonging to Middle Eastern airline Qatar Airways . Arabian oryx is the national animal of UAE .

neg: Sub-Saharan Africa Sub-Saharan Africa is , geographically , the area of the continent of Africa that lies south of the Sahara . According to the UN , it consists of all African countries that are fully or partially located south of the Sahara . It contrasts with North Africa , whose territories are part of the League of Arab states within the Arab world . Somalia , Djibouti , Comoros and Mauritania are geographically in Sub-Saharan Africa , but are likewise Arab states and part of the Arab world .   The Sahel is the transitional zone between the Sahara and the tropical savanna ( the Sudan region ) and forest-savanna mosaic to the south .   Since probably 3500 BCE , the Saharan and Sub-Saharan regions of Africa have been separated by the extremely harsh climate of the sparsely populated Sahara , forming an effective barrier interrupted by only the Nile in Sudan , though the Nile was blocked by the river 's cataracts . The Sahara pump theory explains how flora and fauna ( including Homo sapiens ) left Africa to penetrate the Middle East and beyond . African pluvial periods are associated with a `` wet Sahara '' phase during which larger lakes and more rivers existed .   The use of the term has been criticized because it refers to the South only by cartography conventions and projects a connotation of inferiority ; a vestige of colonialism , which some say , divided Africa into European terms of homogeneity .

neg: Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium Omaha 's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium is a zoo in Omaha , Nebraska , located at 3701 South 10th Street . It is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums . Its mission is conservation , research , recreation , and education . In August 2014 , TripAdvisor proclaimed Henry Doorly Zoo the `` world 's best zoo '' , leading San Diego Zoo and Loro Parque , based on an algorithmic assimilation of millions of reviews for 275 major zoos worldwide .   Omaha 's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium is nationally renowned for its leadership in animal conservation and research . Evolving from the public Riverview Park Zoo established in 1894 , today the zoo includes several notable exhibits . It features the largest cat complex in North America ; `` Kingdoms of the Night '' is the world 's largest nocturnal exhibit and indoor swamp ; the Lied Jungle is one of the world 's largest indoor rainforests , and the `` Desert Dome '' is one of the world 's largest indoor deserts , as well as the largest glazed geodesic dome in the world . The zoo is Nebraska 's top paid attendance attraction and has welcomed more than 25 million visitors over the past 40 years .

neg: West Lunga National Park West Lunga National Park is a remote wildlife haven in dense forest in the North-Western Province of Zambia . It lies between the West Lunga River and Kabompo River about 10 km north of the gravel road from Solwezi to Kabompo , and covers about 1700 km ² .   The national park is the only one in Zambia covered by forest , categorised in the small Cryptosepalum dry forests ecoregion , which exists only in a few patches in the south west of the province extending a little over the border into Angola . Cryptosepalum trees ( called `` mukwe '' locally ) are evergreen and grow densely with a closed canopy . The ecoregion forms the largest evergreen forest in Africa outside of the equatorial zone . Although the rainfall in the area is quite high ( above 1,000 mm per year ) the soils are sandy and well drained so apart from the rivers there is a lack of surface water . A few patches of Miombo woodland and grassland also exist in the park .   The park lacks management , facilities , and roads . There is no accommodation and no towns nearby , visitors must be completely self-sufficient . ( The Zambia Tourism website does not even mention the park . ) It is reached by a dirt track from the main road to the park gate and base at Jivundu in its south-west . The lack of water and thickness of the forest has kept the human population low in the region , and despite some poaching and the absence of protection , the forest is believed to be still fairly rich in wildlife . Smaller forest mammals such as duiker and bushpigs live there , and recent reports also mention puku , hippopotami , Nile crocodiles , vervet monkeys , and yellow baboons . The game guards say there are buffalo , roan antelopes , sable antelopes , Lichtenstein 's hartebeests , impalas , elands , and elephants .   As of September 2008 , African Parks Network ( also known as African Parks Foundation or African Parks Conservation ) from The Netherlands concluded an agreement for the management of West Lunga National Park .

neg: Bart Gets an Elephant `` Bart Gets an Elephant '' is the seventeenth episode of The Simpsons ' fifth season . It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on March 31 , 1994 . In this episode , Bart wins a radio contest and is awarded a full-grown African elephant that he names Stampy . After Stampy wrecks the Simpsons ' house and eats all the food , Homer decides to sell Stampy to an ivory dealer . Bart runs away with Stampy to save his pet , but the family finds the two at a museum exhibit , where Homer sinks into a tar pit . Homer is saved by Stampy , and so gives the elephant away to an animal refuge instead .   The episode was written by John Swartzwelder , and directed by Jim Reardon . It introduced the fictional elephant Stampy , and marks the first appearance of the recurring character Cletus Spuckler . The episode features cultural references to the songs `` Sixteen Tons '' and `` Do-Re-Mi '' , and the La Brea Tar Pits cluster of tar pits located in Hancock Park in Los Angeles , California . Since airing , the episode has received mostly positive reviews from television critics . It acquired a Nielsen rating of 10.7 , and was the highest-rated show on the Fox network the week it aired .

neg: Asian South Africans The majority of Asian South Africans are of Indian origin , most of whom are descended from indentured workers transported to work in the 19th century on the sugar plantations of the eastern coastal area , then known as Natal . They are largely English speaking , although many also retain the languages of their ancestors . There is also a significant group of Chinese South Africans ( approximately 300,000 individuals ) , of whom the great majority are recent immigrants of the last two decades .   In total the 1.2 million Asians in South Africa represent about two percent of the nation 's population . Most are of Indian or South Asian origin , although there is also a rapidly increasing number of people of Chinese , who were sometimes classified as Coloured ( mixed race ) , `` Other '' , or at least partially as `` White '' under Apartheid ) . Traditionally , the group does not include the `` Cape Malays '' , who were descended ( at least in part ) from South East Asians , who were classified as `` Coloured '' under apartheid .   The term Indian is far more commonly used than Asian in South Africa , although examples of both usages can be found .

neg: Aggregation (ethology) In ethology , an aggregation is any form of gathering of organisms and the process of coming together . In some forms groups of unrelated species might form , in which interaction between members of the aggregation might be minimal ; for example herds of grazing zebra and antelopes might combine , both the better to observe the approach of predators , and to improve the odds of escape in the event of attack by predators . Sometimes there might be some interaction , such as mixed flocks of birds that observe each other 's foraging behaviour in searching for food . Sometimes there might be quite orderly common action , such as the queuing up for a resource ; for example different species of fishes may aggregate around a cleaning station where cleaner wrasse and cleaner shrimp are active , more or less taking turns for attention . Such aggregations , where there is no particular association of species or sizes , may be referred to loosely as unstructured aggregations . Commonly they are very temporary and may be loose , with flocks or herds associating casually and separating equally casually within hours .   Structured aggregations tend to be longer-term and of a specific life-cycle function and context . Typically , though not necessarily , they will be of a single species . Often they will be of a single age and possibly of a single sex , such as shoals of fish fry that have specific ecological requirements that are not compatible with those of the mature species . One class of such aggregations comprises groups of adult , but immature `` bachelor '' males of elephants , seals , lions and other animals in which the mature herd will not tolerate males that would begin to compete with the dominant males . Another is when aposematic larvae of certain insects such as some Lepidoptera and Hemiptera form a flock that feed together and may migrate in `` processions '' until they are mature after which some kinds disperse . Most species of migrating birds and mammals flock on a large scale , partly for protection and partly for greater reliability of navigation . In some species of Hemiptera the adults remain with their aggregated immature offspring , sometimes in protective roles .   The range of functions is very wide in detail , but among the more important classes of function are security against predators , success in food location , wide range of mate choice , with concomitant increase of outbreeding opportunities , location with other members of the same species ( sometimes adherence to separate communities can almost amount to parapatric residence when say , different communities of rats or chimpanzees have violent mutual antipathy ) . There also are various forms of educational function , such as in some species where the young must learn the correct mate recognition skills , and in highly intelligent species such as crows and elephants , must learn the necessary social skills and the necessary traditional foraging techniques in their region .   Aggregation activities are not restricted to the animal kingdom ; for one example , a fundamental class of aggregations occurs in the various groups of slime molds , in which separate cells actually aggregate in the process of constructing their reproductive structure .

neg: Illegal logging in Madagascar Illegal logging has been a problem in Madagascar for decades and is perpetuated by extreme poverty and government corruption . Often taking the form of selective logging , the trade has been driven by high international demand for expensive , fine-grained lumber such as rosewood and ebony . Historically , logging and exporting in Madagascar have been regulated by the Malagasy government , although the logging of rare hardwoods was explicitly banned from protected areas in 2000 . Since then , government orders and memos have intermittently alternated between permitting and banning exports of precious woods . The most commonly cited reason for permitting exports is to salvage valuable wood from cyclone damage , although this reasoning has come under heavy scrutiny . This oscillating availability of Malagasy rosewood and other precious woods has created a market of rising and falling prices , allowing traders or `` timber barons '' to stockpile illegally sourced logs during periodic bans and then flood the market when the trade windows open and prices are high .   The unsustainable exploitation of these tropical hardwoods , particularly rosewood from the SAVA Region , has escalated significantly since the start of the 2009 Malagasy political crisis . Thousands of poorly paid Malagasy loggers have flooded into the national parks -- especially in the northeast -- building roads , setting up logging camps , and cutting down even the most difficult to reach rosewood trees . Illegal activities are openly flaunted , armed militia have descended upon local villages , and a rosewood mafia easily bribe government officials , buying export permits with ease . These illegal operations are funded in part by advance payments for future shipments ( financed by Chinese expatriates and Chinese importers ) and by loans from large , international banks . Demand is fueled mostly by a growing Chinese middle class and their desire for exotic imperial-style furniture . European and American demand for high-end musical instruments and furniture have also played a role . However , public scrutiny has put significant pressure on shipping companies involved in the trade , and the United States is starting to enforce the Lacey Act by investigating companies with suspected involvement in the illegal trade of Malagasy precious woods .   Logging in Madagascar 's tropical rainforests has had many secondary effects , beyond the risk of depletion of rare , endemic trees . Habitat has been disturbed , illegal mining has begun , local people have turned in desperation to the forests for resources , and poaching of endangered wildlife has escalated . Lemurs , the most well-known faunal group from the island , have been captured for the exotic pet trade as well as killed for food . Even the most critically endangered species have been targeted , primarily to feed a growing demand for delicacy food in up-scale restaurants . The local villagers have also suffered as tourism has declined sharply or ceased almost entirely . Some have resorted to working as loggers for minimal pay , while others have spoken out against it , often receiving death threats from the rosewood mafia in return .

neg: Elephant goad The elephant goad , bullhook , or ankus ( from Sanskrit or ankusha ) is a tool employed in the handling and training of elephants . It consists of a hook ( usually bronze or steel ) which is attached to a 60 - handle , ending in a tapered end . The bullhook is associated with the abuse of elephants , when it has been used to injure or beat elephants . California ( USA ) has banned the use of bullhooks .   A relief at Sanchi and a fresco at the Ajanta Caves depict a three-person crew on the war elephant , the driver with an elephant goad , what appears to be a noble warrior behind the driver and another attendant on the posterior of the elephant . </blockquote>   Nossov and Dennis ( 2008 p 19 ) report that two perfectly preserved elephant goads were recovered from an archaeological site at Taxila and are dated from 3rd century BCE to the 1st century CE according to Marshall . The larger of the two is 65 cm long . </blockquote>   Nossov and Dennis ( 2008 : p. 16 ) state :  An ankusha , a sharpened goad with a pointed hook , was the main tool for managing an elephant . The ankusha first appeared in India in the 6th-5th century BC and has been used ever since , not only there , but wherever elephants served man .

neg: Molai forest Molai forest is a forest on Majuli Island in the Brahmaputra River in Kokilamukh , Jorhat district , Assam , India .   Molai forest is named after Padma Shri Jadav `` Molai '' Payeng , Indian environmental activist and forestry worker . The forest was single-handedly planted by Payeng in a timespan of 30 years and encompasses an area of about 1,360 acres / 550 hectares . Payeng planted and tended trees on a sandbar of the Brahmaputra River turning it into a forest reserve .   Molai forest now houses Bengal tigers , Indian rhinoceros , over 100 deer and rabbits besides apes and several varieties of birds , including a large number of vultures . There are several thousand trees , including valcol , arjun ( Terminalia arjuna ) , ejar ( Lagerstroemia speciosa ) , goldmohur ( Delonix regia ) , koroi ( Albizia procera ) , moj ( Archidendron bigeminum ) and himolu ( Bombax ceiba ) . Bamboo covers an area of over 300 hectares .   A herd of around 100 elephants regularly visits the forest every year and generally stays for around six months . They have given birth to 10 calves in the forest in recent years .

neg: Nam Phouy National Biodiversity Conservation Area The Nam Phouy National Biodiversity Conservation Area is a protected area in Sainyabuli Province , Laos . It is named after Nam Phouy village , also known as `` Nam Phoun '' and is one of the 21 National Biodiversity Conservation Areas established by the Lao government . The NBCA is located in the forested mountains of the Luang Prabang Range close to the border with Thailand and is part of the Luang Prabang montane rain forests ecoregion .   Nam Phouy is home to many wild Asian elephants . The reservoir area of lower Nam Phoun dam is partly within the Nam Phouy NBCA .   The area is little patrolled , which makes the enforcement of conservation measures difficult ; the elephant monitoring in the Nam Phouy National Biodiversity Conservation Area needs to be improved .

neg: Elephant polo Elephant polo is a variant of polo played while riding elephants . It is played in Nepal , Sri Lanka , Rajasthan ( India ) , and Thailand . England and Scotland regularly field teams . Equipment consists of a standard polo ball and six to ten foot cane ( similar to bamboo ) sticks with a polo mallet head on the end . The pitch is three-quarters of the length of a standard polo pitch , due to the lower speed of the elephants . Two people ride each elephant ; the elephants are steered by mahouts , while the player tells the mahout which way to go and hits the ball .   Elephant polo originated in Meghauli , Nepal . Tiger Tops in Nepal remains the headquarters of elephant polo and the site of the World Elephant Polo Championships .   Elephant Polo in Nepal and Thailand is played under the auspices of the World Elephant Polo Association . WEPA enforces strict rules regarding elephant welfare and game play . Other tournaments , such as those played in India and Sri Lanka , are managed independently of each other and the World Elephant Polo Association . Sri Lanka held an annual tournament in Galle under the auspices of the Ceylon Elephant Polo Association . In 2007 an elephant went on a rampage during a game , injuring two players and destroying the Spanish team 's minibus .   Allegations of cruel treatment of polo elephants , made by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals , have led to match cancellation , sponsorship withdrawal and the removal of references to elephant polo records in the Guinness Book of World Records .

neg: Wildlife of Cambodia Cambodia is home to a diverse array of wildlife . There have been registered 212 mammal species , 536 bird species , 176 reptile species ( including 89 subspecies ) , 850 freshwater fish species ( Tonlé Sap Lake area ) , and 435 marine fish species . An unknown amount of species remains to be described by science , especially butterflies and moths ( lepidopterans ) . Many of the species in the country , including several endemic ones , are recognized by the IUCN or World Conservation Union as threatened , endangered , or critically endangered due to deforestation and habitat destruction , poaching , the illegal wildlife trade , and farming , fishing , and forestry concessions . Intensive poaching may have already driven Cambodia 's national animal , the kouprey , to extinction , and wild tigers , Eld 's deer , wild water buffaloes and hog deer are at critically low numbers .   Wildlife in Cambodia includes dholes , elephants , deer ( sambar , Eld 's deer , hog deer and muntjac ) , wild oxen ( banteng and gaur ) , panthers , bears , and tigers . Cormorants , cranes , ibises , parrots , green peafowl , pheasants , and wild ducks are also found , and species of venomous snakes and constrictors are numerous . Deforestation , mining activities , and unregulated hunting , have diminished the country 's wildlife diversity rapidly .   Cambodia also has many endangered species . Cambodia has 16 globally endangered species and two critically endangered species . Some of Cambodia 's endangered species are the Asian elephant , Siamese crocodile , wild water buffalo , and the Germain 's silver langur .   Much work is being done in this area to help conserve and protect Cambodia 's unique wildlife . Wildlife conservation organizations operating in Cambodia include Conservation International , World Wildlife Fund , the Wildlife Conservation Society , Fauna and Flora International , BirdLife International , Wildlife Alliance , and many others . On 20 December 2016 , 163 new animal species were reported in Southeast Asia including one known as the Klingon newt for its resemblance to a klingon from Star trek .

neg: Bovidae in Chinese mythology Bovidae in Chinese mythology include various myths and legends about a group of biologically-distinct animals which form important motifs within Chinese mythology . There are many myths about the animals modernly classified as Bovidae , referring to oxen , sheep , goats , and mythological types such as `` unicorns '' ( though perhaps not Bovidae , in the strict scientific sense ) . Chinese mythology refers to those myths found in the historical geographic area of China , a geographic area which has evolved or changed somewhat through history . Thus this includes myths in Chinese and other languages , as transmitted by Han Chinese as well as other ethnic groups ( of which fifty-six are officially recognized by the current administration of China , according to Lihui Yang , 2005:4 ) . There are various motifs of animals of the Bovidae biological family in Chinese mythology . These have often served as allusions in poetry and other literature . Some species are also used in the traditional Chinese calendar and time-keeping system .

pos: Three Men and a Baby Three Men and a Baby is a 1987 American comedy film directed by Leonard Nimoy , and stars Tom Selleck , Steve Guttenberg , Ted Danson and Nancy Travis . It follows the mishaps and adventures of three bachelors as they attempt to adapt their lives to pseudo-fatherhood with the arrival of the love child of one of them .

The film was the biggest American box office hit of that year , surpassing Fatal Attraction and eventually grossing US$ 170 million in the US alone . The film won the 1988 People 's Choice Award for Favorite Comedy Motion Picture .

neg: Retail clinic A retail clinic is a category of walk-in clinic located in retail stores , supermarkets and pharmacies that treat uncomplicated minor illnesses and provide preventative health care services . They are sometimes called `` retail-based clinics , '' `` convenient care clinics , '' or `` nurse-in-a-box . '' Retail clinics are usually staffed by nurse practitioners ( NPs ) or physician assistants ( PAs ) and do not necessarily have a doctor physically available onsite . Some , however , are staffed by physicians .

neg: Baby boomers Baby boomers are the demographic cohort following the Silent Generation . There are no precise dates when the cohort birth years start and end . Typically , they range from the early-to-mid 1940s and end from 1960 to 1964 . Increased birth rates were observed during the post -- World War II baby boom making the baby boomers a relatively large demographic cohort .   The term `` baby boomer '' is also used in a cultural context , so it is difficult to achieve broad consensus of a precise date definition . Different people , organizations , and scholars have varying opinions on who is a baby boomer , both technically and culturally . Ascribing universal attributes to such a generation is difficult , and some believe it is inherently impossible , but many have attempted to determine their cultural similarities and historical impact , and the term has thus gained widespread popular usage .   Baby boomers are associated with a rejection or redefinition of traditional values . Many commentators , however , have disputed the extent of that rejection , noting the widespread continuity of values with older and younger generations . In Europe and North America , boomers are widely associated with privilege , as many grew up in a time of widespread government subsidies in post-war housing and education , and increasing affluence .   As a group , baby boomers were the wealthiest , most active , and most physically fit generation up to the era in which they arrived , and were amongst the first to grow up genuinely expecting the world to improve with time . They were also the generation that received peak levels of income ; they could therefore reap the benefits of abundant levels of food , apparel , retirement programs , and sometimes even `` midlife crisis '' products . The increased consumerism for this generation has been regularly criticized as excessive .   One feature of the boomers was that they have tended to think of themselves as a special generation , very different from those that had come before . In the 1960s , as the relatively large numbers of young people became teenagers and young adults , they , and those around them , created a very specific rhetoric around their cohort , and the changes they were bringing about . This rhetoric had an important impact in the self perceptions of the boomers , as well as their tendency to define the world in terms of generations , which was a relatively new phenomenon . The baby boom has been described variously as a `` shockwave '' and as `` the pig in the python . ''   The term `` Generation Jones '' is sometimes used to describe those born between 1954 and 1965 . The term is typically used to refer to the later years of the Baby boomer cohort ( 1954-1960 ) and the early years of Generation X ( 1961-1965 ) .

neg: Human milk banking in North America A human milk bank is `` a service which collects , screens , processes , and dispenses by prescription human milk donated by nursing mothers who are not biologically related to the recipient infant '' . As of March 2014 , there are 18 milk banks in North America that are members of the Human Milk Bank Association of North America ( HMBANA ) . They are usually housed in hospitals , although some are free standing . Members of HMBANA 's follow the annually revised `` Guidelines for the Establishment and Operation of a Donor Human Milk Bank . '' The guidelines were developed with the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) and include protocols for soliciting donors , collecting , processing and distributing the milk . Some of these protocols are described below .   According to a joint statement by the World Health Organization ( WHO ) and United Nations Children 's Fund ( UNICEF ) : `` The best food for a baby who can not be breastfed is milk expressed from the mother 's breast or from another healthy mother . The best food for any baby whose own mother 's milk is not available is the breastmilk of another healthy mother '' ( UNICEF , p. 48 ) . `` Where it is not possible for the biological mother to breast feed , the first alternative , if available , should be the use of human milk from other sources . Human milk banks should be made available in appropriate situations '' ( Wight , 2001 ) .

neg: Baby Food Festival The National Baby Food Festival is a large community festival that takes place around mid-July in Fremont , Michigan , home of the Gerber Products Company .

Pageant winners receive scholarships and prizes , and are asked to represent the festival and locale at noteworthy events .

neg: Biblical Magi The biblical Magi ( -LSB- ˈmædʒaɪ -RSB- or -LSB- ˈmeɪdʒaɪ -RSB- singular : magus ; Greek : μάγοι , magoi ) , also referred to as the ( Three ) Wise Men or ( Three ) Kings , were , in the Gospel of Matthew and Christian tradition , a group of distinguished foreigners who visited Jesus after his birth , bearing gifts of gold , frankincense and myrrh . They are regular figures in traditional accounts of the nativity celebrations of Christmas and are an important part of Christian tradition .   According to Matthew , the only one of the four Canonical gospels to mention the Magi , they came `` from the east '' to worship the `` king of the Jews '' . Although the account does not mention the number of Magi , the three gifts has led to the widespread assumption that there were three men . In Eastern Christianity , especially the Syriac churches , the Magi often number twelve . Their identification as kings in later Christian writings is probably linked to Psalms 72:11 , `` May all kings fall down before him '' .

neg: Thanopoulos (supermarket) Thanopoulos ( Greek : Θανόπουλος ) is a Greek supermarket chain situated in Athens . The company 's history traces back to 1877 when Panayiotis Thanopoulos established the grocery store `` Thanopoulos '' in downtown Athens . Today ( 2006 ) the company has 3 stores , all of them located in the northern suburbs of Athens . The firm belongs to the Thanopoulos family .

neg: Distribution center A distribution center for a set of products is a warehouse or other specialized building , often with refrigeration or air conditioning , which is stocked with products ( goods ) to be redistributed to retailers , to wholesalers , or directly to consumers . A distribution center is a principal part , the order processing element , of the entire order fulfillment process . Distribution centers are usually thought of as being demand driven . A distribution center can also be called a warehouse , a DC , a fulfillment center , a cross-dock facility , a bulk break center , and a package handling center . The name by which the distribution center is known is commonly based on the purpose of the operation . For example , a `` retail distribution center '' normally distributes goods to retail stores , an `` order fulfillment center '' commonly distributes goods directly to consumers , and a cross-dock facility stores little or no product but distributes goods to other destinations .   Distribution centers are the foundation of a supply network , as they allow a single location to stock a vast number of products . Some organizations operate both retail distribution and direct-to-consumer out of a single facility , sharing space , equipment , labor resources , and inventory as applicable .   A typical retail distribution network operates with centers set up throughout a commercial market , with each center serving a number of stores . Large distribution centers for companies such as Wal-Mart serve 50 -- 125 stores . Suppliers ship truckloads of products to the distribution center , which stores the product until needed by the retail location and ships the proper quantity .   Since a large retailer might sell tens of thousands of products from thousands of vendors , it would be impossibly inefficient to ship each product directly from each vendor to each store . Many retailers own and run their own distribution networks , while smaller retailers may outsource this function to dedicated logistics firms that coordinate the distribution of products for a number of companies . A distribution center can be co-located at a logistics center .

neg: Joseph-Beth Booksellers Joseph-Beth Booksellers is an independent bookseller with four stores in the United States . It formerly operated a total of seven under the Joseph-Beth name and two under the Davis-Kidd Booksellers name . The name `` Joseph-Beth '' derives from the middle names of its two founders , Neil and Mary Beth Van Uum . They opened their first store in Lexington , Kentucky in November 1986 .   In 1989 , they were recognized by the Greater Lexington Chamber of Commerce as the `` 1989 Small Business of the Year '' .   In 1997 , the company absorbed 4 Davis-Kidd Booksellers stores in Tennessee in Nashville , Knoxville , Memphis , and Jackson . The Knoxville store closed in 2000 , but the Jackson bookstore remained open until 2006 . The Nashville and Memphis locations remained open until 2010 and continued to operate under the Davis-Kidd name .   On November 11 , 2010 Joseph-Beth filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and closed the Davis-Kidd location in Nashville , as well Joseph-Beth locations in Pittsburgh , Charlotte , and one of the two locations in Northeast Ohio . In May 2011 , the company and three of its stores were purchased by the Lexington , Kentucky store 's landlord . The Fredericksburg , Virginia Joseph-Beth and the Memphis , Tennessee Davis-Kidd locations were initially sold to a liquidator . However , Joseph-Beth founder Neil Van Uum was able to purchase the Memphis location with the financial backing of the Memphis landlord from the liquidators and continues to operate the store as The Booksellers at Laurelwood , as the Davis-Kidd name was purchased in the bankruptcy auction . The remaining three Joseph-Beth locations -- Lexington , Cincinnati and the Cleveland Clinic specialty store -- remain in operation under the new owner .   On November 14 , 2011 Joseph-Beth opened their fourth location at Crestview Hills Town Center in Crestview Hills , Kentucky .

neg: Breastfeeding in public Breastfeeding in public is the practice of breastfeeding babies in a public or semi-public place in open view of the general public . Social attitudes and legal protection of the practice varies widely . In many countries , both in the Global South and in a number of Western countries , breastfeeding in public is common and generally not regarded as an issue . In those countries , laws protect the nursing mother . In many parts of the world including Australia , some parts of the United States , and Europe , along with some countries in Asia , women have an express legal right to nurse in public and in the workplace . A few countries , such as Saudi Arabia , expressly forbid women to expose their breasts in public , even to breastfeed .   Even though the practice may be legal or socially accepted , some mothers may nevertheless be reluctant to expose a breast in public to breastfeed due to actual or potential objections by other people , negative comments , or harassment . It is estimated that around 63 % of mothers across the world have publicly breast-fed . The media have reported a number of incidents in which workers or members of the public have objected to or forbidden women breastfeeding . Some mothers avoid the negative attention and choose to move to another location . But some mothers have protested their treatment , and if the practice is permitted by law , have taken legal action or engaged in protests . Protests have included a public boycott of the offenders business , organizing a `` nurse-in '' or a breastfeeding flash mob , in which groups of nursing mothers gather at the location where the complaint originated and nursed their babies at the same time . In response , some companies have apologised and agreed to train their employees .

neg: Day care Child care or day care is the care of a child during the day by a person other than the child 's legal guardians , typically performed by someone outside the child 's immediate family . Day care is typically an ongoing service during specific periods , such as the parents ' time at work . The service is known as child care in the United Kingdom , crèche in Ireland and New Zealand , and child care or day care in North America and Australia ( although child care also has a broader meaning ) . The vast majority of childcare is still performed by the parents , in-house nannies or through informal arrangements with relatives , neighbors or friends . Child care in the child 's own home is traditionally provided by a nanny or au pair , or by extended family members including grandparents , aunts and uncles . Child care is provided in nurseries or crèches or by a nanny or family child care provider caring for children in their own homes . It can also take on a more formal structure , with education , child development , discipline and even preschool education falling into the fold of services .   The day care industry is a continuum from personal parental care to large , regulated institutions . Some childminders care for children from several families at the same time , either in their own home ( commonly known as `` family day care '' in Australia ) or in a specialized child care facility . Some employers provide nursery provisions for their employees at or near the place of employment . For-profit day care corporations often exist where the market is sufficiently large or there are government subsidies . Research shows that not-for-profits are much more likely to produce the high quality environments in which children thrive . '' Local governments , often municipalities , may operate non-profit day care centers . For all providers , the largest expense is labor . Local legislation may regulate the operation of daycare centers , affecting staffing requirements . In Canada , the workforce is predominantly female ( 95 % ) and low paid , averaging only 60 % of average workforce wage . Some jurisdictions require licensing or certification . Legislation may specify details of the physical facilities ( washroom , eating , sleeping , lighting levels , etc. ) .   Independent studies suggest that good daycare is not harmful . In some cases , good daycare can provide different experiences than parental care does , especially when children reach two and are ready to interact with other children . Children in higher quality childcare had somewhat better language and cognitive development during the first 4 1/2 years of life than those in lower quality care .

neg: Product lining In marketing jargon , product lining is offering several related products for sale individually . Unlike product bundling , where several products are combined into one group , which is then offered for sale as a units , product lining involves offering the products for sale separately . A line can comprise related products of various sizes , types , colors , qualities , or prices . Line depth refers to the number of subcategories a category has . Line consistency refers to how closely related the products that make up the line are . Line vulnerability refers to the percentage of sales or profits that are derived from only a few products in the line .   Product lining is a marketing strategy that companies adopt which they offer products in the same product line for sale individually ( Krishnamurthi , 2007 ) . Product line is a group of related products defined by their functions and customer market , forming a `` line '' or category ( Neubauer , Steffen & Margaria , 2003 ) . For instance , the variety of coffees that are offered at a café is one of its product lines and it could consist of flat white , cappuccinos , short black , lattes , mochas and etc. . Alternatively , Product line of juices and pastries can also be found at a café .   In comparison to product bundling , which is a strategy of offering more than one product for promotion as one combined item to create differentiation and greater value , product lining consists of selling different related products individually ( Chen , 1997 ) . The products in the product line can come in various sizes , colours , qualities , or prices . The benefits from having a successful product line is the brand identification from customers which result in customer loyalty and multiple purchases ( Kekre & Srinivasan , 1990 ) . It increases the likelihood of customers purchasing new products from the company that have just been added into the product line due to the previous satisfying purchases ( Krishnamurthi , 2007 ) .

neg: Convenience food Convenience food , or tertiary processed food , is food that is commercially prepared ( often through processing ) to optimise ease of consumption . Such food is usually ready to eat without further preparation . It may also be easily portable , have a long shelf life , or offer a combination of such convenient traits . Although restaurant meals meet this definition , the term is seldom applied to them . Convenience foods include ready-to-eat dry products , frozen foods such as TV dinners , shelf-stable foods , prepared mixes such as cake mix , and snack foods .   Bread , cheese , salted food and other prepared foods have been sold for thousands of years . Other kinds were developed with improvements in food technology . Types of convenience foods can vary by country and geographic region . Some convenience foods have received criticism due to concerns about nutritional content and how their packaging may increase solid waste in landfills . Various methods are used to reduce the unhealthy aspects of commercially produced food and fight childhood obesity .   Convenience food is commercially prepared for ease of consumption . Products designated as convenience food are often sold as hot , ready-to-eat dishes ; as room-temperature , shelf-stable products ; or as refrigerated or frozen food products that require minimal preparation ( typically just heating ) Convenience foods have also been described as foods that have been created to `` make them more appealing to the consumer . '' Convenience foods and restaurants are similar in that they save time . They differ in that restaurant food is ready to eat , whilst convenience food usually requires rudimentary preparation . Both typically cost more money and less time compared to home cooking from scratch .

It has been claimed there is a hint of architectural value in the ingenious way the wide range of goods are displayed within the spatial confinement of the store .

neg: Music store A music store or musical instrument store is a retail business that sells musical instruments and related equipment and accessories . In United States and Canada , most music stores in the 2010s sell a range of electric instruments ( e.g. , electric guitars ) , instrument amplifiers ( e.g. , guitar amplifiers ) ; electronic instruments ( e.g. , synthesizers ) ; drum kits ( including drums , cymbals and percussion instruments ) and acoustic classical , concert band and jazz musical instruments such as saxophones , trumpets and violins . In addition , stores typically sell ( and sometimes rent ) the sound reinforcement system and PA system gear used in live concert performances and the sound recording equipment used to record music , such as microphones and digital recorders .   In the 2010s , music stores can be `` bricks and mortar '' stores ( either individual small businesses or chain stores , which may be a regional or national chain ) ; online musical instrument stores , which consist of a website describing the merchandise , various online payment systems , and shipping or delivery systems ; or hybrid stores that have both `` bricks and mortar '' stores and an online store .
