Nintendo was founded in 1889 in Japan as a playing card company. In the 1950s, after going through several owners, Hiroshi Yamauchi took over and transformed Nintendo into a toy and video game company. Yamauchi realized the card business had limits and successfully diversified Nintendo first into toys and then into video games in the 1970s. Nintendo released its first home video game console in 1977 and found major success in the US in the early 1980s with games like Donkey Kong. Yamauchi's leadership and willingness to take risks led Nintendo into new industries and global success.Gaming reseach

Meerkats live in burrows in the grasslands and deserts of South Africa and parts of Namibia and Angola. They share their burrows with other small animals like squirrels and mongooses. Meerkats are territorial and protective of their burrow, fighting off other meerkat groups that try to take over. If the food supply near their burrow decreases, they will construct a new burrow in a different area, sometimes moving several times per year.Design Presentation

The document summarizes a wastewater treatment process designed for a metals production plant. The process includes ozone treatment, clarification, multimedia filtration, neutralization reactors, hydrocyclones, and multiple passes of reverse osmosis treatment. An economic analysis found the reverse osmosis system was the most cost effective solution for meeting EPA regulations of limiting total dissolved solids to 10 ppm or less. The process is expected to generate gypsum as a byproduct that can be sold to offset treatment costs. Pilot testing and automation are recommended before full-scale implementation.power point on sarah

Rats are medium-sized rodents that are typically distinguished from mice by their larger size. They have poor vision and compensate by weaving their heads from side to side. As omnivores, rats will occasionally eat smaller pets or rodents. Different genders of rats - male rats preferring human interaction, females enjoying exploration - can make great companions, though their presence is detected by droppings or gnawing and some materials are toxic to them. Norway rats are brownish rodents weighing around 11 ounces and measuring 13 to 18 inches including their 6 to 8 inch tails.Video games - Megan

Penguins are flightless birds that live in packs in many parts of the Southern Hemisphere and swim using their wings at speeds up to 15 miles per hour. They mate for life, lay eggs, and may steal other penguins' chicks if they lose their own. Different types of penguins live in different areas depending on temperature, with some inhabiting extremely cold places and others closer to the equator, and they can be found on ice, beaches, or small islands near the ocean where they spend most of their time hunting for food underwater.Unit 3. things we value
