In the pass, I have been shy and quiet girl , until 20 years old and the shyness still with me. As a young kind you can…

It's s position that I have endured for many long ugly years and more years to come. Realizing the Unreal Throughout calls from Iraq & Afghanistan deployments for the boys…

influenced by tidal zone. A scatter plot was also created, with cockle size plotted against distance. A similar graph was then created but with age plotted against tidal zone instead of size. These two graphs included an R^2 value to help determine if there was significant statistical trend in the scatterplots. Results: Cockles were more abundant in low tide with abundance increasing towards high tide. Feeding rates were lowest at low tide with an increase in mid and high tidal zones. There was…

what are known as contact zones. In her essay, “Arts of the Contact Zone,” Mary Louis Pratt defines contact zones as “social spaces where cultures meet, clash, and grapple with each other, often in highly asymmetrical relations” (Pratt 487). Contact zones allow for different cultures to go through the merging and converging of different cultures which is known as transculturation (488). Transculturation is important because it is considered a phenomenon of the contact zone. Transculturation is…

As Buettner points out, there is no actual diet for longevity. However, he had this to say about the diets of people in the Blue Zones: Instead, these people drink a little bit every day, not a hard sell to the American people. They tend to eat a plant based diet. Doesn’t mean they don’t eat met, but lots of beans and nuts. And they have strategies to keep from overeating, little…

The riparian zone was very abundant, there was a lot of moss, long grass, and shrubs. Now for animal life in the water, we saw many animals including fish, water bugs, crayfish, turtles, and even a leach. For animal life around the water we saw salamanders,…

the people in the “grey zone,” it is important to realize the impossible circumstances surrounding these groups of people at the time, making it extraordinarily challenging to judge, blame, or hold responsible many of the members who fall on this spectrum; most people don’t fully know how they will act in a time of crisis until that crisis has fallen upon them. Although this is true, there is also a certain level of responsibility that each person has to humankind, and should be sanctioned if…

fulfilling National Geographic journalist Dan Buettner’s task of living to be over one hundred which he investigates in his speech “How to Live to be 100+”. In his speech, Buettner delves into what exactly extends life by looking into so called Blue Zones or “ areas where people are living to age one hundred at rates up to ten times greater than we are, areas where the life expectancy is an extra dozen years, the rate of middle age mortality is a fraction of what it is in this country”(Buettner…
