Late last week 13 year old Ulie Offey finished her extensive research from the past two years. She has been working out of her basement in Rye, New Hampshire to create a form of communication to speak with whales. She was successful in her attempts and as of Monday, has communicated with the first whale. Ulie came across this idea while watching a century old movie with her mom. The movie was titled Finding Nemo. She was inspired by Dory, a major character, who finds her way out of a difficult situation by speaking whale. Ulie said that when the movie was over, she thought to herself “Boy do I love whales! OH MY! Wouldn’t it be amazing if I could speak whale!?!” And the idea was formed. Ulie began her research by examining the brain of the …show more content…
Scientists have praised Ulie for her work. Dr. Aurel Euwerke, a neurologist at Rockingham County Hospital, is quoted as saying, “Amazing work! It’s marvelous that a 13 year old figured all this out!” Marine biologist in Rye, New Hampshire, Amuelmy Hessen, quotes, “I wish I would have thought of this!” Two years ago, Ulie adopted a whale from the Blue Ocean Society who was also the first whale she communicated with. The whale’s name was W.L. When she thought the necklace was done, she went on a whale watching trip. She saw her pet whale while she was wearing the necklace. She could hear the whale and the whale could hear her. She said to W.L., “Hi, I’m Ulie and you’re my pet whale, I adopted you!” The first words she heard from W.L. were, “Hello Ulie! I’m so glad you adopted me!” Ulie says when she first heard W.L. speak, she thought, and I quote, “OH MY! OH MY! OH MIGHTY MY! I HAVE CREATED THE FIRST EVER WHALE TO HUMAN COMMUNICATION!” Ulie Offey has shared her invention with the New Hampshire Marine Biology Institute for Ocean Life. They are expecting to be able to use this new technology to better understand whale
“The twists and turns of your life can be so unexpected, and that's a good thing to learn.” Whale talk is a story of a kid named T.J and some of his friends that go through a life of a teenager. In the story Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher, people who have been through traumatic events cope with challenges in their lives by overcoming, forgetting, or learning.
When the film started with a suspenseful 911 call, that drew the audience in. On the phone the unidentified male said, “We need SOA to respond for a death in the SeaWorld. There’s a whale who ate one of the trainers.” The quote was referring to Dawn Brancheau’s accident with the 12,500 lb, 34 year old, 22 feet long Orca whale. The Brancheau accident happened on February 24, 2010.
Neuroscientist, Lori Marino, claims that orcas are very intelligent animals. Through intensive research Lori was lead to believe “Orcas may be more emotionally developed than humans. MRI scans have shown that the brain lobes that deal with emotions are enlarged in the orcas’ brains.” Many orca researchers learned that in the wild pods communicate with each other using their own dialect, different than that used by other pods. Lori found that this is a reason why SeaWorld’s practice of mixing different orcas is cruel because the orcas don't communicate with the same “language”. As a result
“I walk outside, scream at the top of my lungs, and maybe it travels two blocks” said Tj Jones. In the novel Whale Talk by Chris Cutcher, Tj Jones and Andy Mot go against the commonwealth and people’s suppositions.
Whale Talk is filled with difficult, hard to read, and disgusting acts of violence which do sadly happen in real life. Chris tries to bring some of these acts to light in this book and it works out very well. The book shows how much bad stuff can happen to someone and also how someone may be able to make it through the situation. Chris was truly trying to help people with this book while also writing a memorable and great
Underwater noise has interfered with the whales ability to hear one another. Scientists have attached digital recording devices to whales during
Transition: After learning about a dolphin’s sense of communication, we can now build upon this information by examining their unique behavior.
The film is directly targeted at the general population, with the intent to notify the public about the cruel management and the inhumane practices of SeaWorld. They use Logos to assure that Orca whales are more than a simple creature. They inform the audience that Orcas are intellectual, and are capable of understanding emotion. The film supports this claim by further saying that orcas have a limbic system that is more complex than that of humans. Additionally, Blackfish supports its argument by claiming that scientists have used MRI's on the whales, proving them to be conscious of human-like relationships and feelings. This source of Logos becomes very apparent when the film shows the Orca whales being taken from their ocean environment. They become lethargic and show signs of depression while captive in their tanks. Another sign of the whales having the capacity to understand emotion and human-like relationships is when one of the mother Orcas gives birth. Form research, it is found
In the first passage titled "What to Do about Underwater Noise" it is stated, "It interfered with their communications and caused them to change their diving and feeding patterns." Since whales interact by sending sound waves to one another the intensity of underwater noise has interfered with the whales' ability to hear each other. Scientists also believe that underwater noise may even
In 2002 the Museum became part of the U.S. Department of Education’s ECHO project and in this way Anne’s organization connected to many others similar and historical organizations. The Museum received part of 1.7 millions USD for four museums. Anne Brengle made an acquisition of the entire collection of more than 70,000 objects of the Kendall Whaling Museum. With this gift, the Museum expanded its mission to develop the “historic interaction of human with whale“ (citation, Museum’s mission; New Bedford Whaling Museum Case).
The claim further argues that said stress can be directly blamed for the violent outbursts of the orcas against the training staff. When whales are taken away from their families in the wild waters, they grieve the pain and suffering that is associated with that parting, thus making the whales an emotional time bomb. The documentary provides grounds to argue that orcas suffer the emotional repercussions of separation, much like humans do by with the fact that scientists have proven them to be conscious of human-like relationships and feelings via MRI’s. Moreover, included in this documentary was a commercial of a killer whale giving birth to baby Kalina. Much like our society, killer whales value their relationships with their offspring. Once Kalina was taken from her mother, Katina, is shown being immobile in the corner of the tank, audibly screeching and crying. Being able to see and hear the tragic response of the mother makes the audience empathize with the orca and want to cry for her. Incorporating this event shows how holding orcas in captivity can negatively affect them psychologically. This vivid scene gives the audience the ability to sympathize on a personal level with a mammal other than
We hear that Willhelm apparently wasn’t erased and that no one ever heard of the white whale as a mabeast that lives in groups. This is the first
Another powerful image that Cowperthwaite used to demonstrate vicious act on whale is when a close up shot footage was used to illustrate scar and tooth marks on the whale back. This confirms that captive whale from different community does not get along. This makes the audience
To the Admissions Committee: It is with great pleasure that I present this application letter in consideration of admission to the Master of Science in Art Therapy program at Florida State University. My key life experiences, arts background, and my education in the visual arts and psychology have facilitated me to attain an abundant passion for helping others. One of the most important times in my life was the semester after my grandpa passed.
Verse 11 Verse eleven only contains four Greek words “Παράγγελλε ταῦτα καὶ δίδασκε” meaning “command these things and teach.” Paul once again is encouraging Timothy to stand strong to his beliefs: he must continue to teach true accurate doctrine and command his opponents to turn away from their heresy teachings. Παράγγελλε means “to command” this is a term of authority usually referring to military or judicial order. Since this is such a strong word it is appropriate to think that it must be directed against the heresies.
