Starfish

My visit to the island of Holbox Quintana Roo has been one of the best experiences I've had in my life. Holbox is a very small island but is visited by thousands of tourists from around the world, is known for its beautiful beaches, its tours to swim with the whale shark, and the learning oportunities to see ocean live. The island is very small but beautiful, not many hotels and a population of less than 1,500 inhabitants. Something very special about this island are the beaches. The color…

During the Fall I had a terribly low confidence level, as it was only my first year as a dance minor after neglecting outside lessons for almost five years. I was uncertain regarding the combinations, as well as my technique, but tried not to too rely heavily on the more experienced dancers (though I did rely heavily on the barre). I would not perform the moves to the extent of my abilities, for example not fully developing my leg or heightening my rélevé, because I was uncertain that it was…

but as well as many difficult changes that I have faced through school. Many students and teachers have been complaining of being very uncertain about understanding of how to run this new technology through the school. UPrint, Blackboard, LMS ez, Starfish, Campus Connection, and Student Emails all are a major part of UND. Many students (Including myself) didn’t even know what anything of these computer resources were when starting school at UND. Now, students are constantly using these…

Cloning is the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals. Cloning has been seen a as a recent discovery but cloning has been happening in nature since the beginning of time. Common animals that clone naturally are starfish, bacteria, and even some plants. But cloning becomes a controversial topic when humans artificially make clones of animals that normally reproduce sexually like sheep, goats, cows, and cattle. Cloning won't be able to solve the problem of…

Counseling sessions with younger age students from the age range of 4 to 6 was very interesting experiences to critique and summarize my results of the overall sessions. The both session was with child that age range from 4 to 5 years old. Play for young children is important in learning, and also therapy interventions to address issues. He was given choices of puppet, blocks or puzzles to choose from to establish competency 100. This when a successful therapeutic relationship between…

binomial model according to AICc for explaining the counts of scallops per transect included the following variables: management regime, presence or absence of benthic microalgae, distance from the inlet entrance, Coscinasterias muricata (eleven-arm starfish) density and percentage macroalgae cover (Table 3). The Akaike weight of this top model (0.31) gives an indication that there is no one best model (Table 3). A multi-model averaging process was therefore performed on models within six AICc…

are places which many animals live. Microbes and crustaceans eat mucus. Fish use corals as safe houses. For example, there are many kinds of animals in Okinawa’s coral reef: damselfish family, threadsail filefish family, sea-cucumber, sea-urchin, starfish, and so on. Moreover, coral reef hold only 600,000km2 that is 0.1% of the surface of the earth but over 90,000 kinds of living thing are in there. That is about 5.3% of animals in the earth. Second, coral reefs are natural embankments. Corals…

everything because sound travels twice as fast in water than it does on land. I look down at an anemone and out pops three little clown fish, there were two adults and one cute little baby. I look over to the left and a bunch of brightly colored starfish caught my eye, there were bright blue ones, pretty pink ones, great green ones and perfect…

My eighth grade religion teacher us a short story about a man who would walk along the sea shore tossing starfish back into the ocean. Although his actions didn't have a large impact, he still did them in kindness. This story encouraged me to look for small instances where I can do something to help. At school doing the dishes is renowned for being one of the…

For all of our society’s history, women have been oppressed in many ways. Many individual can see this division of gender ranging from the biblical era. The bible often sorted the differentiation between the two roles of gender, and many people couldn’t stray from this constructed idea. Also in early societies, women were deemed to gathering surplus from the ground, and men were constructed as hunters. Until recently these arbitrary socially constructed ideas were not challenged by individuals…
