Pass it On I like it when people pass on advice, tips, and warnings about . . . well just about anything and everything. I feel like it gives me an edge. (Not that I always agree 100% of the time, but the times I take the advice offered or heed the warning sent forth, I’m grateful to have known that knowledge beforehand.) I also like this this age-old advice: all you need to know is right in front of you. So when I read this news flash in our church bulletin, I knew I’d be passing it on in a…

you count critters or macroinvertebrates? Does the velocity of the creek affect the number critters? First we went out to the creek grabbed a sample rock. Then we counted the number of macroinvertebrates on it, such as Water Penny’s, Scud, and Pouch Snails. Some of the macroinvertebrates are crustaceans. Then we documented how many of each critter we found and what group they belong to. As shown in…

organisms and thus offer great potential as new classes of medicines. To date, examples of marine-derived drugs include an antibiotic from fungi, two closely related compounds from a sponge that treat cancer and the herpes virus, and a neurotoxin from a snail that has painkiller properties making it 10,000 times more potent than morphine without the side effects (Kim et al.,2010a,b).However, there are several more marine-derived compounds currently in clinical trials and it is likely that many…

When I arrive at my closet I throw on a T-shirt and a pair of shorts. Next I make my way to the bathroom where I brush my teeth and put in my contacts. 9:30 a.m. As I come up the stairs I can smell a sweet aroma of syrup and bacon. Laid on the table are plates covered in pancakes, bacon, sausage, muffins, toasts, donuts, and waffles. Once my family and I eat…

People always have to deal with problems whether they are physical or not. Some may have to face them more than others but it still is a challenge. I have had multiple challenges but one of my most challenging one is when I was in sixth grade. It was basketball season and we were in the semifinals for our tournament. The team we were playing was Cass City and the whole team were like men out there. My team on the other hand were all like average sixth graders but cass city somehow matured way…

Humans come in nuclear families and animals do as well. To some extent every mammal cares for their offspring. Perhaps humans take parental control for granted because it is a natural instinct for us. Surprisingly, their are some species that abandon their offspring as soon as possible including, tortoises and arthropods. On the flip side of that, some arthropods are of the most devoted parents and their parenting skills evolve due to risk of predators. Parental actions in anthropoids have…

“The truth is a diamond, or at least a broken mirror,” dreams are also “diamonds” and “broken mirrors,” “His mouth is a traitor,” as well as his description of his father's body as “a slab of meat,” the blood running down his cheek as an “endless snail of red,” and the grave as “the black mouth.” (Urrea 1296-1298) Urrea also uses several similes in the story, saying the the photograph trapped under the seat was “fluttering like a flag, like a bird trapped in the wind” and his father's captain's…
