N-V Cougar Practice It was just another regular day to practice for the Niobrara-Verdigre Cougars at Niobrara. All of the Verdigre football players despised going over to Niobrara for practice. It was the usual ride over there with all of us talking about how school went that day, about football, or about other topics in the news. We would turn up the radio if a song came on that most of us could sing since we knew the song. It would seem sometimes that it seemed we were on the way to choir practice not football practice.…
In the lecture, the lecturer casts doubt on the idea that the reason Anasazi Indians disappeared was war, which is supported in the reading passage. The lecturer insists that the reason was a water shortage. First of all, the author of the reading passage states that the Anasazi were attacked because other tribes desired the plentiful water and fertile land that the Anasazi occupied. However, the professor contradicts this point by arguing that the Anasazi suffered by a drought, and needed to leave their own lands. In a few years, their population was increased ten times, so it puts high pressure of the water supply.…

1. What is inclusive fitness?? Using Hamilton’s equation, describe the cost and benefits in relation to inclusive fitness of a behavior we learned about in class (from lecture, readings or student presentations). Inclusive fitness is fitness through producing offspring and providing aid that allows relatives to spread shared genes. Hamilton’s rule is rb – c > 0, where r is the relatedness of the altruist to the beneficiary, b is the reproductive benefit to the recipient, and c is the cost in number of offspring to altruist.…
There are many different species of non-human primates. Each primate has its own characteristics, traits, and behaviors that establish its identity. Throughout history, however, primate species have evolved over time and there have been different research studies to see how primates have evolved. Northern white-cheeked gibbons are one of the closest relatives to human beings. White cheeked gibbon’s characteristics, traits, and behaviors explain the complexity of their species and how they are closely related to other non-human primates as well as human beings.…

Invasive species are easily comparable to the explorers of the old days. Explorers could be helpful by introducing new supplies, like horses, during the big Columbian Exchange. Explorers could also be largely negative, bringing disease and slavery into the nations they conquered. Explorers sometimes just set up trade relations and left well enough alone. Much like these explorers, invasive species have the propensity to help, hurt, or assimilate into their new surroundings.…
Each person in the world has some kind of religious values or beliefs. Some people believe that we honor god by giving respect and peace to one another. Others believe that after they lost a loved one, God was their at their side to help them, and that after war tore through their country, they should reevaluate their ideas about religion. When I was listening to the 17 “This I believe…” essays online, 3 stood out to me the most. They all touched me in a way, but also made me think a lot.…

Second is a typical story of life during the colonialism, when, due to certain circumstances somebody is “captured” by colonialists. In our case, “Pocahontas was captured by Captain Samuel Argall and there is a need for her to find a way to live in two different cultures”(Pocahontas: Her Life and Legend). Being married to John Rolfe means that, despite certain difficulties “strong love surely existed”, a lot of facts in history tell us about this phenomenon. Pocahontas is a strong woman who coexists with her internal feelings and reality that forces her to act as a bridge: seeking to dissonance, actually, between the English settlers in Virginia and the native population. Pocahontas, also, as independent woman worked purposefully for her people…
