How would you persuade someone who believes that ecological services are unmeasurable and provide no value to human society that they are in fact valuable?Must be your own words as per the professor….no references. Please respond within 1 paragraph_______________________________________________________________________________________________Please respond to the classmate responseFirst, I would explain to them: every one has values. Even though their values are different from mine, they don’t need neglect the fact that ecological services are important to every day living. I’m not the type of person to bash another person’s values, but I would let them know, that as people, we do waste a lot of trees, and we don’t take care of our forests, nor do we value the beauty of our oceans. We as a people, don’t clean up behind ourselves, so how can we value our lands, forests, oceans, and the beauty of creation. We must do better with pollution, and keeping the earth clean. At night, we’ll breath and sleep better.

The # signs in the data lists mean that the viscometer could not calculate a shear stress measurement at that speed because the fluid was too viscous. If your data do not follow a noticeable trend, you can use prof data to comment on the differences with yours. See attached files for descriptions on Viscometry & Viscosity.Here is a description of a T-test & its p-value. for Hemorhelogy Please see prof attached data as a back-up for some decent data from the hemorheology measurements.His files are named with a 0 to represent plasma. The .5 in the file name represents 0.5 x hematocrit data. The 1 in the file name means regular blood. And the 1.5 in the filename means 1.5 x hematocrit. His spindle speeds from these data go from 12 – 80 rpms.i post envying thing u need let me know if u have any question

What are some things you can do to improve your intelligence? Why do you believe these things will improve your intelligence?What do you think is the best model for measuring intelligence, and why?
I.Q. (intelligence quotient): In general, it is an assessment of your ability to think and reason. An IQ score is a standardized way of comparing this ability with the majority of people the same age as you. A score of 100 means that compared to these people in your general age group, you have basically an average intelligence. Most psychologists would say those scoring in a range of 95 to 105 are of normal intelligence or have an average IQ. The actual IQ score may vary plus or minus five points since it is very difficult to get an IQ score with complete accuracy.Take an IQ test; there are many available for free online, such as The Free IQ Test. While you are taking it, try to notice the questions and how you are being tested.For this assignment, write a 2-page double-spaced paper:Share your results if you feel comfortable. Do you believe it truly reflects your intelligence? What are some things you can do to improve your intelligence? Why do you believe these things will improve your intelligence? Cite from your unit readings and/or outsides resources to support your statements about ways to improve your intelligence.Many argue that IQ tests only measure analytical intelligence, but other researchers have argued that there is more than one type of intelligence. Sternberg proposed a triarchic theory of intelligence, and Gardner proposed 8 specific bits of intelligence. What do you think is the best model for measuring intelligence, and why?
