Zef Vataj Locke’s Question of Self-Identity The essential question of who we are as people, our own personal identity, has been central to the philosophy of many thinkers. The answer to this question will ultimately decide life and death, as one’s ability to exist is dependent on their nature. John Locke tackled this issue throughout his Essay Concerning Human Understanding and it remains a central tenant of his empiricist doctrine. One can begin to understand the nature of things over…

methods continue to be used for smaller-scale (and cheaper) projects and can potentially verify the results of other sequencing methods. For example, if one were to conduct a phylogenetic study on a group of eukaryotic organisms such as birds or lizards, it is often that only a few loci out of an organism’s genome actually needs to be sequenced, perhaps less than five genes. Due to its lower cost and the lack of need for high-throughput, Sanger sequencing would be the more ideal choice. In the…

Known to be omnivores, skunks can munch on almost anything that crosses their path. They eat plants, earthworms, rodents, lizards, birds, grubs, moles, birds, eggs and even snakes! They are also very fond of eating berries, nuts and fungi. When living close to settled areas, skunks are routinely found scavenging on garbage as the rummage for anything that will keep their tummies…

no group that would be happier to see such a thing," he told CNN. "So far we haven't seen anything that is so obvious that it would be similar to what these claims are." When we look at chunks of space rock and piles of sand and "see" a crab, or a lizard, or an alien spaceship, we're being tricked, he said. Not by NASA, but by our own brains. The phenomenon is called pareidolia, and it explains why we so often find Jesus in our food, the Virgin Mary in tree trunks, a man in the moon, Hitler in…

Chasing Wakes Summertime is one of the most dreaded seasons of the year for those who live in the desert. It is a time for the rattlesnakes, lizards, and tortoises to emerge. While these creatures flourish in the blistering temperature of 120 degrees, humans quickly deteriorate. This kind of climate creates scaly, dry skin making a person feel like their own skin is as rough as one of those reptiles. I have found being on a Sea Doo, also known as a water motorcycle, at the Colorado River is one…

“[Dick was] clean, polite, nice voice, good diction, a pretty decent-looking fellow, with a very disarming smile [...] But [Perry the] chunky, misshapen child-man was not pretty; the pink end of his tongue darted forth, flickering like the tongue of a lizard” (216, 224). When Nye describes Dick without using any coordinating conjunctions, it appears as though he is reading from a list. As though he is only noticing surface level traits of the wolf in sheep’s clothing. Dick is parading around…

and it started to rain. The dirt on the floor started to get wet then there was so much mud on the bottom of my shoe. My feet were sore that I could not walk anymore. Our group were near a creek and stopped and was looking around and saw an orange lizard running on the branch of the tree. We stopped to take notes with our handmade notebook and it started to get wet that ruin a few of my drawings and writing. As we were done hiking in the forest we decided to head back to the cafeteria to eat…

so on. “However, the most common diet options for tigers include sambar, chital (also known as the Spotted Deer or Axis Deer), sika deer, nilgai, buffalo, gaur (a bovine species), monkeys, civets, porcupines, and even fish, frogs, crabs, monitor lizards, and snakes. When available and vulnerable, a tiger will not shy away from attacking baby elephants or baby rhino. Still, the tiger is not afraid of it prey, and will not discriminate between healthy…

Visitors may look, but not touch. There’s a variety of different species that live on this mountain. These species include the California newt, banana slugs, different types of frogs, several bird species, western Pacific rattlesnake, garter snakes, lizards, and several mammal species, including black-tailed deer, coyotes, mountain lion, and cattle that roam freely around the…

Colonization appears in many texts, but three that are significant are Things Fall Apart, Rabbit-Proof Fence, and Lagaan. Colonization affects many cultural components and it can also force the colonized to adapt to new cultures, which prompts conflict between those who are in revolt and the colonizers while resulting in the outcome of a serious tragedy such as death. In the novel, Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, it may seem as if the focus is on a single main character, but it is on a…
