I am a PhD nursing student and a certified adult gerontology nurse practitioner. I have worked as a registered nurse in oncology and as a research assistant in geriatric nursing. I currently hold a deep passion for family caregivers of hospice patients. Anticipating the loved one’s death is tragic and deep sorrow for family caregivers. Anticipatory grief has been used and studied since 1940s (Lindemann, 1944). There are many terms related to it: bereavement, preloss grief, postloss grief,…

Background: The bottle ecosystem created contains three compartments. It includes an aquatic habitat at the bottom, a filter in the center, and a terrestrial habitat at the top. The aquatic habitat included guppies, shrimp, a snail, and elodea. The filter was composed of a layer of fine sand, coarse sand, activated carbon, and gravel. The terrestrial habitat in our bottle ecosystem featured mealworms, a mealworm beetle, annual bluegrass, and purslane. In the aquatic habitat, the aquatic plant…

big starfish and some rock sponges. After finding the starfish we decided to go and explore the rock walls. We saw many organisms, like this big crab but it quickly hid in between the rocks where we couldn’t reach. All we were able to only catch sea snails and more sponges since we couldn’t get on the rocks due to being unstable. After about an hour and a half every group brought their findings to the table where we got the chance to talk and take pictures of the organisms. The six organisms…

before and with ocean acidification, it seems quite possible it will happen again. An example of this effect are sea snails. Because oxygen levels are dwindling, the only way to survive is to decrease in size along with the oxygen (Barras). Richard Twitchett, a researcher from the Natural History Museum in London, states that many marine animals are mutating along with the snails to survive. It is said that some organisms have “shrank by one-third or more”…

The Hedgehog Erinaceous europaeus Hedgehogs are fascinating creatures! With such a small body length and only weighing a few ounces, it’s astonishing they are not categorized as rodents. What’s even weirder is that some hedgehogs eat dog food. Hedgehogs have a much shorter gestation period compared to other animals. Have you ever wondered what a hedgehog looks like? The head, body, and tail length is about 6-14 inches, and they only weigh about 14-39 ounces. The gender differences are very…

nursery rhymes are typically based on gender stereotypes. The nursery rhyme “What are little boys made of” portrays both genders in different ways and how their feminine and masculinity is perform. For instance, boys are being portrayed as “slugs and snails” showing that boys will always be boys and they will never know when to grow up. While girls are seen as “sugar and spice” that depicts them to be sweet and keen. There seem to be more of a positive, uplifting meaning behind the young…

Stanislavski was extremely concerned that the actors would get distracted by the audience when they are performing on stage. Stanislavski came up with a way to make actors observe in a way in which it would help them develop their acting making them more focused and aware. The audience is very important to the overall piece, however he did not find them a ‘crippling factor’. Stanislavski came to realise that actor’s lost control of their basic acting skills on stage. Moreover it was recognised…

Being in law enforcement for several years I come across several suspects and defendants who expresses the criminal justice process moves like a snail and is always unpredictable. Imagine if a significant amount of cases was going to trial instead of over 90% of felony cases are plea bargained (Bohm, R., Haley, K.,n.d). Nevertheless, there are three types of plea bargains and prosecutors tend to have factors to decide if the plea bargain is in the best interest or what’s the better plea…

Situated approximately 35 miles east of Orlando and with over 75 miles of beach along Florida’s Atlantic Coast, which stretches from Canaveral National Seashore south to Vero Beach, Florida’s Space Coast is sometimes characterized as a multigenerational destination, with incredible diversity from North to South. This diversity is evident through Space Coast’s designated towns: Cocoa Beach, Palm Bay, Melbourne, Port Canaveral, Melbourne Beaches, Titusville, and Viera. Its identity is drawn from…

“Swish! Swish!” Like a pendulum, the feather streaks back and forth across the cursed parchment, marking up my father’s name. My father, the king… oh, how I hate that man. I simply detest him, every ounce of him. Oh, but how the townsmen love him. They call him “King Albrecht II, the honorable.” Yeah, right, “honorable”. How could you describe signing a law into action requiring the entire kingdom to inform him of all decisions made honorable? Because this article of corruption is what he’s…
