Lake development property : a consumer's buying guide

"Prepared by Community-Public Sector Staff; University of Missouri Extension Division; Editor: Donald M. Boesch, Area Community Development Specialist." "UED23 $1.50 1974"Twentieth century technology and affluence have made it possible for man to create artificial lakes, increase his water-oriented activities, and enjoy more leisure time. Land developers have capitalized on the trend. They are encouraging thousands of people annually to buy thei; piece of American countryside by appealing to their desires for water-oriented, recreational, or natural living. A lake development can provide an excellent means for enjoying rural living. It offers clean air, the leisure life, outdoor recreation near at hand, pleasing country sights and sounds-the good life.

As you use this Buyer's Guide, you might not find the ideal development that can provide the basis for a favorable response to every statement and question. Your objective should be to make your final selection based on what comes nearer to your idea of perfection and financial resources. There are pitfalls which must be avoided. With these ideas in mind, this buyer's guide is designed to assist you in increasing your understanding of purchasing and owning that rural nook of peace and contentment. This publication will give you a general idea of the extent to which lake developments are being built in the United States. It also offers a rational decision-making process by which a fulfilling purchase can be made.-- Page

Harmful algal blooms in coastal waters: options for prevention, control and mitigation

This report is the product of a panel of experts in the science of blooms of unicellular marine algae which can cause mass mortalities in a variety of marine organisms and cause illness and even death in humans who consume contaminated seafood. These phenomena are collectively termed harmful algal blooms or HABs for short. As a counterpart to recent assessments of the priorities for scientific research to understand the causes and behavior of HABs, this assessment addressed the management options for reducing their incidence and extent (prevention), actions that can quell or contain blooms (control), and steps to reduce the losses of resources or economic values and minimize human health risks (mitigation). This assessment is limited to an appraisal of scientific understanding, but also reflects consideration of information and perspectives provided by regional experts, agency managers and user constituencies during three regional meetings. The panel convened these meetings during the latter half of 1996 to solicit information and opinions from scientific experts, agency managers and user constituencies in Texas, Washington, and Florida. The panel's assessment limited its attention to those HABs that result in neurotoxic shellfish poisoning, paralytic shellfish poisoning, brown tides, amnesic shellfish poisoning, and aquaculture fish kills. This covers most, but certainly not all, HAB problems in the U.S

A checklist for buying property in small lake development

"Prepared by:University of Missouri, Extension Division, Community-Public Sector Staff, Donald M. Boesch, Editor, Area Community Development Specialist"Professional Extension field staff employed in the University of Missouri Extension Division 's Community Public Sector Program, in cooperation with campus faculty from the University of Missouri campuses at Columbia, St. Louis, and Rolla, cooperated with the checklist preparation. The project included the assembling of information and research from agencies, other universities, and organizations in the United States and Canada. To test the applicability of the information, an area 65 miles in radius from St. Louis, Missouri was used. Through a procedure of field checks, efforts with local governments, realtors' association, developers, and citizens' opinion surveys, a series of consumer publications was prepared. This Checklist, as well as a publication titled Lake Development Property-A Guide to Consumer Buying (a 32-page publication with detailed information to assist the consumer with major aspects of the purchase), can be obtained from University of Missouri Extension Centers located in each county of Missouri or by writing: Publications, 89 Whitten Hall, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri, 65201. This Checklist costs 50 c[cent], the Guide is $1.50--Page

Evolutionary origins of human handedness : evaluating contrasting hypotheses

Variation in methods and measures, resulting in past dispute over the existence of population handedness in nonhuman great apes, has impeded progress into the origins of human right-handedness and how it relates to the human hallmark of language. Pooling evidence from behavioral studies, neuroimaging and neuroanatomy, we evaluate data on manual and cerebral laterality in humans and other apes engaged in a range of manipulative tasks and in gestural communication. A simplistic human/animal partition is no longer tenable, and we review four (nonexclusive) possible drivers for the origin of population-level right-handedness: skilled manipulative activity, as in tool use; communicative gestures; organizational complexity of action, in particular hierarchical structure; and the role of intentionality in goal-directed action. Fully testing these hypotheses will require developmental and evolutionary evidence as well as modern neuroimaging data.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe
