Carnivorous plants are, however, are a special case. Just the thought of knowing that plants of all things can eat animals is mind blowing! It completely defies their very nature.

During her fit, Catherine exclaimed that she “shall not be at peace,” without “[her] Heathcliff (Bronte 125). This is a “declaration of identity,” and exemplifies the unavoidable bond that Heathcliff and Catherine share despite her choice of Edgar (Vine 347). Her decision ultimately drives her into madness and although she stays by Edgar, she laments over the love that she gave up. The pain and sorrow that she feels transfers fully admonishes the notion of innocence. The consequences that Cathy…

Quiet eye is a gaze behavior first reported by Joan Vickers of Calgary University in 1996. The Quiet eye has been defined as the duration of the final fixation towards the relevant target prior to the execution of the critical phase of movement and has been accepted as a measure of optimal visual attentional control. The quiet eye has an onset that occurs before the final movement in the motor task and an onset that occurs when the fixation deviates off the target by more than 3 degrees for…

Prominent meta-commentators on “Savage” ontology (Haunani Kay-Trask, Jodi Byrd, Vine Deloria Jr., etc) attribute the cosmological destruction that is presently occurring to the arrival/creation of the Settler. This occurs primarily due to a ontological and cosmological pathology inherent within the Settler. Whereas existence in the…

When winter cloaks the mountains with snow or rain, many Californians break out parkas and skis and head for the high country. Others opt for local walks or the gym to keep in shape for spring. A relative few extend their hiking season by heading to that least-visited region of California: its deserts. Deserts cover over a third of the state, mostly inland areas in the south, with a finger extending north between the eastern Sierra Nevada and the state boundary. Too often considered monotonous…

This type of robot (Remote Manipulator System) has two types of arms. The first one is computer-operated and programed for a specific function, and the second one requires a human to control the movement of the arm to do the job. (woodfill, 2011) Also, some of the space robots are orbiters, rovers and landers. One of the orbiter robots is the mariner 4; it flew past mars on July 25, 1965. It also took the first close up photos of another planet. On the other hand, the first landers were the…

The wooden poles are used to hold up grape vines, so they vines aren’t on the ground. The fabric nets can be used to surround an olive tree and as they are trimming the limbs of the olive tree, the net can catch all the falls of the tree. They can then sort out the olives from the limbs later. Division…

Dale, I told Gary, I wish dad was here, I was there to represent dad and support his brothers and sisters and Nanny. I'd learned most of my knowledge of all of them through the grape vine and I do not blame anybody but the uncontrollable circumstances. I do not want anything from them. I have letters Nanny wrote us along with good memories and pictures. I did not want them thinking I was there for anything other than representing dad and to support each of them, not to mention Nannie was…
