    The Burmese python is a very intriguing reptile. These carnivores can grow up to 20 feet long and have a diet of mostly small mammals and birds. They have scales that make beautiful colors and patterns which is probably why they are common choices for pets. They do not have venom but do possess other means of hunting. The pythons have sharp, curved teeth which dig into the animal they are hunting. As the animal tries to escaping it is just digging itself deeper in to the python’s teeth. Once the prey is weak the snake strangles it to death and eats it whole. They use chemical receptors to sense heat for finding food. “The pythons are extraordinary breeders with voracious appetites to match (paragraph 4).”They come in many interesting colors and sizes.…

    Crane Packing Company, a manufacturer of mechanical seals, is debating on whether to allow the floor operators to write CAM part-programs on the floor of the shop while the machines need to be used. This dilemma is relevant because, although the work would, in theory, be more efficient if there was standardized programming for the machines, the lack of differentiation could cause a few problems. However, this problem is predominantly caused from personal pride of employees. In order to continue to grow and dominate the market, we must stop allowing programming to be made, in most cases, on the floor and have a more standardized version that is developed beforehand to use. This would save money and increase productivity.…
