Mountain pine beetle

This morning I gathered the diets for all three trails, cleaned a few dishes left from last night and waited for the meeting. There was a mix up at commissary this morning: they did not give us the melon and banana that are needed for medication. Also there was an issue with the amount of lettuce given for the afternoon. Metting: There is an LC meeting at 12:30. Baboon is not getting any help from Buffer. Monkey Village there have been several females that have been in estrus this week,…

The Industries Experiment on the Planet I spent time in several locations: a natural forest, a clear cut, and a plantation. Within these spaces, the five bodily senses; sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste, helped to identify how each location felt overall. With all the raw data collected, further analysis will take place using information obtained in class time. Furthermore, ideas will be applied to the three locations and a lengthy analysis of the course content will be applied to everyday…

makes sure that the reader has understood what he is getting at in the plot of the story,once more describing Robert Jordan lying on the "pine needle floor" and waiting. In many respects the ending ties together other themes from the book. Take the repeated image that is shown of Robert Jordan on the forest floor itself, it seems that Robert has a thing with pine floors. One…

poetry dream, of all things. There I was, walking along a sidewalk and I came upon that part of a front yard where the house stands close enough to the street that the front yard is narrow, in this case maybe just 15 feet from sidewalk to structure. Pine trees provided some shade with one in particular that offered a wide swath of shade extending on over to the front of the foremost room with its large bay picture window. Likely this was a dining room, giving those in the room a broad, full…

Introduction Throughout the Spring 2016 semester, students were expected to volunteer at the Oasis Católico Santa Rafaela tutoring program, which located in a primarily Hispanic community with the goal of serving its local residents by tutoring children to put them on the same educational footing as native English speakers. During this volunteer work, I was exposed to challenges that I was wholly unaware of in a community that is far more underserved than I realized. I will discuss what I…

For the general assessment I brushed my teeth with my left hand for a whole month. At first it was very awkward and almost felt wrong when I began to brush my teeth. However by the third week it felt more natural and I noticed that my left hand was starting to get better with some other activities that usually felt very strange doing. By the end of the month and even after I was so used to brushing with my left hand that I do it still at times. I have even noticed that I can open door a lot…

The Beauty of Complete Metamorphosis It was a warm day in early October. A young boy at the age of 11 with pale skin and freckles was frolicking in his neighborhood park about a block away from his house. He wore his favorite pair of blue jean overalls with a yellow and olive striped shirt underneath. He loved being outside and spent most of his time at his neighborhood park. His normal routine after he got off the bus from school was to go home, eat a snack of some sort, change into his play…

throughout the years as she observed the American Burying Beetle. Jane Goodall is a primatologist, ethologist, anthropologist, and a UN messenger of peace. She worked along chimpanzees to observe their behavior which by surprise, made a revolutionary impact on the scientific world. In Jane Goodall’s scientific essay, Hope for Animals and Their World, Goodall uses specifically two phrases and one word to help establish the idea that the beetles play a vital role in the environment, yet is still…

“By endurance we conquer.” - Ernest Shackleton. Polar expeditions are some of the most dangerous expeditions out there and are very demanding. Planning the trip, animals, living conditions, food and each crew member struggling to help each other out and keep their sanity are just some of the hurdles in these treacherous expeditions. You might already have a clue about how hard these expeditions are because well, everyone knows how harsh Antarctica is being known as a “frozen desert”, but in this…

He descended to the earth in ten different forms (avatars) to preserve righteousness in the world. The Himalaya has done the same: Mountains reincarnate to preserve the planet's 'right environment' for life. This Vishnu-Himalaya parallelism has mythological beauty and richness. In Hindu mythology, Himavat is the personification of the Himalayan Mountains. He is the father of Ganga, a heavenly river that flew from the toe of Vishnu, but which was brought down to the earth to purify the ashes…
