native predator species which are heavily impacted when toads arrive make rapid adaptations (both behavioural and physiological) allowing for population recovery in the longer term.

other predators are more vulnerable and die rapidly after ingesting toads.

Females can lay 8000–30 000 eggs at a time. In comparison, most Australian native frogs typically lay 1000–2000 eggs per year.

If forced to stay in flooded conditions, cane toads can absorb too much water and die. They can also die from water loss during dry conditions.

The "X-Literature Initiative" makes startlingly clear that the formation we know as "literature" is a complex web of activities that includes much more than conventional images of writing and reading. Also involved are technologies, cultural and economic mechanisms, habits and predispositions, networks of producers and consumers, professional societies and their funding possibilities, canons and anthologies designed to promote and facilitate teaching and learning activities, and a host of other factors. All of these undergo significant transformation with the movement into digital media. Exploring and understanding the full implications of what the transition from page to screen entails must necessarily be a community effort, a momentous task that calls for enlightened thinking, visionary planning, and deep critical consideration. It is in these wide and capacious senses that electronic literature challenges us to re-think what literature can do and be.

Electronic literature, generally considered to exclude print literature that has been digitized, is by contrast "digital born," a first-generation digital object created on a computer and (usually) meant to be read on a computer. The Electronic Literature Organization, whose mission is to "promote the writing, publishing, and reading of literature in electronic media," convened a committee headed by Noah Wardrip-Fruin, himself a creator and critic of electronic literature, to come up with a definition appropriate to this new field. The committee's choice was framed to include both work performed in digital media and work created on a computer but published in print (as, for example, was Brian Kim Stefans's computer-generated poem "Stops and Rebels"). The committee's formulation: "work with an important literary aspect that takes advantage of the capabilities and contexts provided by the stand-alone or networked computer."

Conclusion

Hostilities and disagreement amongst the United States and Russiaexemplify a reduction in each state’s commitment to human security and the betterment of the world.

UN is a vital platform for providing states with aforum to voice their opposition to a nation’s behavior.

Ultimately, critics of the UNSC have consolidatedreform into seven demands – “that the Council be: more representative, more accountable, more legitimate, moredemocratic, more transparent, more effective, and more fair and even-handed”.

human security is privileged over international order as a basicpublic good”.[

the United Nationscannot be expected to uphold its commitment as a defender of international peace and security withoutacknowledging the dire need for institutional reform that better enables it to respond to modern conflict

All proposed reforms were differing iterations of methods to expand permanent membership orveto authority in the body.

“regional powers, such as Brazil, Germany, India, Japan,Nigeria and South Africa, have sought to enlarge the council or secure permanent seats of their own”

it is evident that the UNSC’spresent structure is unsuitable for addressing modern conflicts

the development of customary norms takes aconsiderable degree of time and is often prescribed following a case of war crimes, genocide, ethnic cleansing, orcrimes against humanity.

R2P can besolidified as a norm in customary international law, which “results from a general and consistent practices of statesthat they follow from a sense of legal obligation”.[

Therefore, it is theresponsibility of member states to address the prevalent threats that prevent the UN from fulfilling its mandate ofpreserving international peace and security.

the lack of institutional remedies thwarts the capacity for the UN “to providepublic goods in the realm of human security”.

R2P

While the UN has well-functioning mechanisms and entities in place to assist with the aftermath of conflict, thepresent functioning of its central organ renders it unable to prevent or react immediately to modern war,demonstrating the need for organizational reform to carry out its mandate as a preserver of international peace andsecurity.

the self-interest driven tactics of states engaged in Syria is similarly “likely to deny the Syrian people the rightto choose their own destiny”.

Inaction is ultimately the fault of states that choose to prioritize realist policies overuniversal human security

Following the initial 2011 Arab Spring uprisings, Syria emerged at the center of what has now deteriorated into nearlya decade of complex civil unrest that has challenged the international community and its ability to intervene in thewar.

Evidently, there is a disconnect between presentthreats to international security and the capacity for entities such as the UNSC to effectively mediate and mitigateconflict.

With the determination of the P-5having been structured in the aftermath of World War II, critics note that the current authority of the bodydisproportionately favors the positions of the permanent members, thus hindering the UNSC’s ability to distance itselffrom the sovereign interests of states when attempting to combat international security risks.

“its efficacy and authority as a mediator on matters of international security” is ongoingand increasingly prevalent in light of presently deteriorating modern conflicts.

The UN and its contemporary challenges

A plethora of contemporary challenges have exposed the UN to criticism in its ability to evolve with changes ingeopolitics, most notably the organization’s responsive rather than reactive approach to confronting internationalcrises and the rise in nations disinterested in international consensus building.

powerful country like the United States could be a victim of terrorism. But the horrific event also brought Americans closer together. As U.S. senator John Kerry said at the time, “It was the worst day we have ever seen, but it brought out the best in all of us.”

The impact of the crash tore a hole that stretched from the 93rd to 99th floors of the building

When the airplanes hit the twin towers, they caused massive damage.

dark smoke poured from the twin towers. People rushed to escape the area, which later became known as ground zero. First responders—including police officers, firefighters, and paramedics—arrived within minutes of the first attack on the World Trade Center. They rushed into both towers to help people trapped inside, even though it would be an extremely difficult rescue operation. Almost all the elevators in the twin towers had stopped working. So rescuers started climbing up the stairs, but many were blocked by rubble or fire. Still, firefighters forged ahead, ignoring the danger.

Concrete floors were destroyed. Steel support beams were cut in two. Floors above the crash sites started to sag downward. Meanwhile, the sprinklers in both buildings were damaged. There was nothing to stop the raging fires, which became hot enough to weaken steel. The buildings grew unstable. Then they collapsed.

The United States was under attack. About half an hour after the second tower was struck in New York City, hijackers crashed a third airplane. American Airlines Flight 77 hit the west side of the Pentagon, a five-sided concrete building that serves as headquarters for the U.S. Department of Defense, in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. The plane’s fuel tanks exploded, and two giant fireballs blasted into the air.

The impact of the crash tore a hole that stretched from the 93rd to 99th floors of the building.

American Airlines Flight 11 hit the north tower at 8:46 a.m. The impact of the crash tore a hole that stretched from the 93rd to 99th floors of the building. Smoke and flames poured out of the tower. Many people thought they had just seen a terrible accident. But 17 minutes later, a second plane flew into another one of the World Trade Center buildings—this time into the south tower.

On September 11, 2001, people in New York City woke up to a beautiful late summer day. It was a Tuesday, and people were preparing for another day at work and school.

Other American women expressed new discontents through literature. Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s famous short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” attacked the expectation of feminine domesticity and ridiculed Victorian psychological remedies forced on women, such as the “rest cure.”

Women’s work against alcohol propelled temperance into one of the foremost moral reforms of the period

Social reformer Florence Kelley, who stayed at Hull House from 1891 to 1899, convinced Addams to begin exposing conditions in local sweatshops and advocating for the organization of workers into unions

Coastal cities had often contended with challenging environments, especially when they began to grow.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, Chicago became a symbol of the triumph of American industrialization. Its meatpacking industry represented many of the troubling changes occurring in American life. In the last decades of the century Chicago became America’s butcher.

Addams decided to start her own in Chicago. She returned home and opened Hull House in 1889

In addition to engineers and city planners addressing growing cities’ needs for drinking water and sanitation, idealistic nineteenth-century reformers began working to improving social conditions in American cities.

Addams’ approach to solving problems of urban poverty included equal parts of direct aid to poor city people, scientific study into the roots of poverty and dependency, and political activism to bring this information to the public and government officials and to advocate change.

By 1911, six western states had passed suffrage amendments to their constitutions. Women’s suffrage was typically part of a package of reform efforts. Many suffragists argued that women’s votes were necessary to clean up politics and combat social evils.

Definition is a rhetorical style that uses various techniques to impress upon the reader the meaning of a term, idea, or concept.

Sometimes from out the folded paper the pale clerk takes a ring:—the finger it was meant for, perhaps, moulders in the grave; a bank-note sent in swiftest charity:—he whom it would relieve, nor eats nor hungers any more; pardon for those who died despairing; hope for those who died unhoping; good tidings for those who died stifled by unrelieved calamities. On errands of life, these letters speed to death. Ah Bartleby! Ah humanity!

In 1982 corporate growers gave Deukmejian one million dollars to run for governor of California. Since he took office, Deukmejian has paid back his debt to the growers with the blood and sweat of California farm workers. Instead of enforcing the law as it was written against those who break it, Deukmejian invites growers who break the law to seek relief from the governors appointees. What does all this mean for farm workers? It means that the right to vote in free elections is a sham! It means that the right to talk freely about the union among your fellow workers on the job is a cruel hoax! It means the right to be free from threats and intimidation by growers is an empty promise! It means the right to sit down and negotiate with your employer as equals across the bargaining table—and not as peons in the field—is a fraud! It means that thousands of farm workers—who are owed millions of dollars in back pay because their employers broke the law—are still waiting for their checks. It means that 36,000 farm workers—who voted to be represented by the United Farm Workers in free elections—are still waiting for contracts from growers who refuse to bargain in good faith. It means that, for farm workers, child labor will continue. It means that infant mortality will continue. It means malnutrition among our children will continue. It means the short life expectancy and the inhuman living and working conditions will continue.

better off today because of what the farm workers taught people about organization, about pride and strength, about seizing control over their own lives.

Malnutrition among migrant worker children is 10 times higher than the national rate. Farm workers' average life expectancy is still 49 years—compared to 73 years for the average American.
