Each time a new president takes the oath of office, many things change. The new president appoints cabinet members and prepares for policy shifts. The new president also moves into the White House, along with the first family. Often, that first family is not complete without the family pet. Over the years, almost every president has had a pet on Pennsylvania Avenue. Because the White House was not complete until 1800, the tradition begins with John Adams. He brought along two carriage horses…

Dolphins are a member of the marine mammal group called cetaceans, which also include whales, orcas, and porpoises. Being water dwellers and needing oxygen to live, these mammals have to sleep in a way that prevents them from drowning, which is different from how you and other land mammals sleep. Your bodily functions during sleep include the inactivation of all voluntary muscles, however, you are equipped with a breathing reflex which allows you to breathe automatically so you will not…

friends the next day. I had the absolute best time ever there! We went on one ride called Test Track. It was a ride based on racing and we went up, down, and around at lightning speed. Then we ate at the Coral Reef Café. It had a view of an aquarium with thousands of fish and stingrays. Some were as big as five feet wide! To end the night we watched a breathtaking 15 minuet long firework show. I never wanted it to end. The next day Alexandra and I drove with our parents to Daytona where…

Model. These prisons are considered to be somewhat open and inside them the detainees are nearly allowed to live like regular citizens. In countries such as Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway, it is not uncommon for ping pong tables, pool tables, aquariums to be present in their high-security prisons. Although this differs from how the United States has classically viewed corrections, Nordic prisons actually have must lower rates of recidivism. In Nordic prisons, each prisoner is designated a…

In this convergence poster there are several things that make up who I am, On the poster there is a picture of me and four rainbow trout that I caught when I was seventh grade. Me and my grandpa went down to roaring river along the Missouri and Arkansas border. It was a weekend early October and we decided it would be nice to get out of town and go do what we love to do, we mostly fish for crappie and sunfish, but we thought it would be interesting to try and fish for trout and with roaring…

human enemy, or for victory. The struggle, for those who survived The Day, was to survive the next” (Frank 123). Florence’s fish tank is a good metaphor to the way things happened in Fort Repose. In the fish tank, the exotic fish died because the aquarium is not heated but, the common guppy and the tough catfish survives. The people who do not adapt are the ones who do not survive after The Day, which is when the nuclear weapon went off and things changed for good. Several died on The Day…

Do you really believe that animals should have the same rights as us humans? If you think about this, passing a Bill of Rights for animals could go against centuries of human culture, increase the cost of food, hinder medical research, and may cause other problems. I believe that animals should not have a Bill of Rights. My first reason is that such a law would go against human culture because we as people run the world. Can animals even work, cook, clean, or even talk, think about it.…

into attending a costume party at the Capulets mansion after hearing about the gathering on the television. Shakespeare chose to inform Romeo about the party by an illiterate messenger.

Unfortunately, in some cases, the specimen thrives and is able to successfully reproduce and spread throughout its…
