During the summer semester of 2016 I had the opportunity to intern with Cathy Ewing Event Consulting. CEEC is located in Cathy’s in home office in Belton, and their primary focus is to help their clients achieve an experience hyper-tailored service to their specific needs. Cathy is a Certified meeting planner (CMP) prior to working with her I had never heard of the title, but the more I learned about it the more I learned it is a great area for people with communication studies degrees that like…
According to National Geographic, the Giant Sloth, the Cuban Red Macaw, the New Zealand Giant Moa, the Tasmanian Tiger, and the Woolly Mammoth are all among the faction of species that are extinct but that could possibly be revived. In fact, a poll issued on National Geographic’s website allows users to simply and effortlessly vote for which extinct species they would like most to see resurrected. Astonishingly, scientists have actually finagled a way to potentially make this poll useful.…
The Road to Extinction Dinosaurs have captured the whole world’s attention and curiosity. How did they come to be extinct? What factors led to this downfall? Are they completely extinct? All these questions additional to several others have aroused among many scientists. Although the extinction of the dinosaurs was the smallest one it seems to be the most discussed (Meyer, 2016, personal communication). So what was the cause of the end of these grand creatures? In the article “The ‘Great…
The excerpt Crash Course (Nancy Honovich) describes what asteroids are and everything about them to how often they occur and how close they have to be to be too close for comfort. At the beginning of the story, it tells about what asteroids are and their history. They even said that a comet called the Shoemaker-Levy 9 sped towards Jupiter at sixty kilometers a second. That is really fast! It also told about how sixty-five million years ago, it is thought that one measly asteroid could have…
have winning the Powerball (1 in 185,000,000). However, it is still very unlikely, that such an event will happen during our time on Earth. After all, there are between 1.1 and 1.9 million asteroids in the Asteroid Belt, between Mars and Jupiter (“Asteroids: In Depth” 2). Who is to say one of those massive asteroids will not go on a collision course with Earth, and cause another extinction-level event, like the one around 66 million years ago, that wiped the dinosaurs off the face of the Earth?…
All the three papers by Benton (1995), Erwin (2001), and Barnosky et al. (2011) talked about the impact of mass extinction on the biological history of earth. Benton (1995) talked about how mass extinction drives diversification in the biological community, Erwin (2001) discussed on how species recovery occurs after mass extinction and Barnosky et al. (2011) talked about the possibility of future mass extinction based on the comparison between the present and past extinction data.…
To begin with, 65 million years ago was the start of the Paleocene epoch that was the establishment of the tertiary period on earth. Due to the extinction of the dinosaurs during the previous period, there was a heap amount of mammals accumulating and evolving from their original size and aspects. Many forms of animals existed big, small, and of many different sizes; rapidly increasing in numbers by reproduction. In this epoch, carnivores were very large in numbers. For example, a bird that was…
Although the most well known species to go extincted during this time was the dinosaurs there were also many other species that went during this time. On land many different types of mammals, one family of turtles, and plant life were effected by this event. Marine life like the plesiosaurs and the giant marine lizards went…
SO IMPORTANT? Before I give the importance to these amazing creatures I would like you to know first what this creatures are. These creatures have existed for more than 300 million years. Meaning they have survived at least one massive extinction event and numerous catastrophes. Scientists have identified approximately 4,500 species of these creatures and 30 are classified as pests. And guess where Periplaneta Americana is identified? These creatures are hard to kill and they are also fast.…
individuals with different types of group events to gather some contrasting examples of effective group communication. The first example was with Mimi, my coworker and a member of a wedding party who explained to me the functions of her group, and how they communicated to plan and organize the wedding parties, as well as ceremony. Mimi explained that they used visual cues, such as body language to evaluate the other members of the group while organizing the upcoming events. The norms of the…
