The class of Gorgonia falls under the Kingdom Animalia and Phylum Cnidaria. Life starts for a Gorgonia when a larvae settles on hard surface in the ocean and begins to grow in a polyp. Polyps grow on other polyps indefinitely, which in the end creates the various shapes of a Gorgonia body. Gorgonias are asexual, so they reproduce by the means of fragmentation/cloning. These creatures do not have a reputation for living long. They are short lived and typically do not die of old age; they die from chemical imbalances, growing too big and detaching, and tumors. Gorgonias are sessile, meaning they do not move from the one place that they are attached. These creatures are notorious for their fan-like shape. Because of the way it grows, the Gorgonia is asymmetric, meaning they do not have identical body alignment on either side. …show more content…
Some Gorgonia can be found near tropic or subtropic shores; this helps them more easily feed with the stronger currents and pull of the waves. Gorgonia have a symbiotic relationship with certain algae to help with having a more ideal consumption rate of plankton, their main food source. In this symbiotic relationship, the algae benefits from getting a stable home by attaching to the Gorgonia rather than free-floating in the ocean while the Gorgonia benefit from getting an extra “boost” from the algae. The algae goes through photosynthesis so it gives energy and oxygen to the Gorgonia. The algae also draws more plankton to the Gorgonia. Although the Gorgonia looks like a plant, it is indeed an animal and digests and uses food just as any other animal. This creature’s way of defending its body from attacks is by chemical defense, which wards off any unwanted creature causing it harm. Predators are typically
The significance of this topic is about the Glorieta Pass which is located in north of New Mexico. With a rough terrain it was a key factor to winning the battle of Glorieta Pass and with the confederate troops having a good position, “the union army did not have the upper hand (slide 6).” One of the things I learned for the advancement for the confederate troops to the Southwest, was due to its riches. Another reason I learned of the confederate advancement to the Southwest, was to overtake Colorado and its rich gold mines, as well as California and increase of slavery. I also learned the about the turning point of the battle, which was the Union gaining their upper hand by secretly attacking their supplies by a group of reinforcement, “under
Daphnia are freshwater crustaceans which live in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving streams. To swim, the Daphnia uses its antennae by thrusting it downward and pushing itself towards the surface of the water. After each push it pauses and floats downward while breathing and collecting food with its ten legs. These creatures are filter feeders and survive in culture by eating algae and protozoans. Even though Daphnia have a hard outer shell for protection, they are vulnerable to many prey, including newts, salamanders, tadpoles, and small fish. The nutrients Daphnia intake by eating algae is passed on to their predators. This is important in the food chain even to those who don’t eat the Daphnia
“Indeed, Gnaritus espouses many of the mores and conventions of the Native American Indians,” Stefan deduced. “For example, the Native Americans Indians maintained no boundaries to their villages or any concept of land ownership either. They considered the Earth as a living consciousness with connections binding everything together in a whole. However, Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas in 1492 ushered in a new era. Soon the settlers claimed ownership of the land and carved boundaries, borders, and divisions in stone and blood. They severed the threads that connected people to each other and the land. As a result, the new boundaries served only to separate and isolate individuals even more. In essence, these immigrants failed
The Gorgas House was built in 1829 and is one of the oldest buildings still here at the University of Alabama. The building has served many purposes at the University over the years. The Hall was initially built as a dining hall back when the University had only a few men attending. About fifteen years later, the hall was turned into a place for faculty to reside after the dining hall was deemed too hard to manage. On August 4, 1865, Yankee troops invaded the University and burnt down most of the buildings, which they believed were aiding the Confederate troops in the War. The Gorgas House was one of four buildings that was not burnt down.
Anne McClintock’s “Gonad the Barbarian and the Venus Flytrap”, focuses a lot of attention on how from the beginning of history, women have been denied some of the basic rights and freedoms that have been essential to the way that men live. Starting back from the times where they couldn’t vote and when women were basically seen as property when wedded. Women today and even in the earlier days could not express their sexuality and could not show that they were sexual beings. Anne McClintock gives the idea that women should be able to have the things that men have and they should be able to express it in the same way as men. In this essay, I will analyze how Anne McClintock views pornography as a form of pleasure that is mostly consumed by men and how women are incorporated into the employment of the industry and even in the home setting.
Your time is extremely valuable, and there never seems to be quite enough of it. With only 24 hours in a day, getting all the little things done can leave you with little time left at your discretion.
Robert and the remaining African American troops lay waiting anxiously for reinforcements to arrive in the darkness behind a large mound of sand. The air reeked of blood, and gunpowder. Only an occasional breeze from the ocean brought a douse of fresh air. Silhouettes of their fallen comrades in the night could be seen sometimes whenever a cannon was fired an lit the sky for a moment. The ominous fate of death was like a fog surrounding the battle at Fort Wagner.

“I’ll try to explain the history of Gnaritus in brief,” Pars began thoughtfully. “At the dawn of the space colony a hundred years ago, the World Governing Body named the planet “Earth Colony” and assigned a governor to oversee it. The governors from Earth never lasted more than two or three years at a time. Some fifty years later, as the space colony matured, it became increasingly apparent that these rotating governors could never fully appreciate all the events shaping Gnaritus or be that much invested in its future. Hence, at the behest of the New World settlers, Earth eventually divested itself from governing Gnaritus. Once free from the colonial tutelage, the space colonists immediately changed the planet’s name to Gnaritus by a
The Encomium of Helen, written by the Gorgias, is a very significant piece regarding Greek classic literature in which he argues Helen of Troy’s innocence from the blame placed on her by society when she allegedly committed adultery. Throughout the piece, Gorgias uses his “philosophical” perspective to pinpoint how every motive she could have had liberated her from any blame. This piece came in a period in which many philosophers catalogued Gorgias as a sophist, or someone who has no true wisdom and argues for the sake of winning and not to share knowledge. Throughout this analyzation, I will proceed to explain the flaws in Gorgias’ Encomium of Helen, as well as the purpose in choosing this piece instead of the other literature pieces.
As described by Junior, Gordy is an “eighty year old literature professor trapped in the body of a 15 year old farmboy”. In other words, Gordy is really smart. He speaks like an Anglophile and has a passion for books and poetry. Even so, Gordy respects all forms of literature, as he said himself, “If you are good drawing cartoons and you love it, and it helps you navigate the rivers of the world, then it can’t be wrong.” Although Gordy is nerdy, he is very tough. When Junior told Gordy, he is in love with a white girl, Gordy did some research. He learnt that one white girl and 200 Mexican girls were kidnapped in the same area, but only the white girl was reported missing. Because Gordy believes all people are equal, he proceeded to call Junior a “racist asshole”.
Georgia is a country in the middle of Europe and Asia, that is very mountainous. In this essay, you will learn more about Georgia’s people, their lifestyles, customs, and courtesies. “Any guest is God’s messenger,” a Georgian saying (pg.3), that means they welcome anyone in their home, even if they weren’t expected.
5. The First World War and Anka Stalherm: Joseph Goebbels was seventeen when World War One started. He desperately wanted to sign-up for the German Army but was rejected for health reasons due to his physical disability. He was rejected because they considered his height (he was under five feet tall) and his clubfoot as disabilities ("Joseph Goebbels." People of the Holocaust). “Throughout his life, Goebbels suffered from what he regarded as the stigma of being unable to serve his country in time of war. He was always conscious of his deformity and physical inadequacy”. Because he could not serve as a soldier, he decided to focus on his studies and enrolled at the University of Bonn in 1917 (Snyder, Louis L). Two months later, he was called
In Gorgias we have a conversation between Socrates, Gorgias, and Polus, Gorgias' young assistant. They speak on the matters of rhetoric, knowledge, and whether injustice and suffering is better to do or have done onto you. While conventional wisdom tells us that it is better to inflict suffering than to receive it, Socrates argues that it is completely the opposite. Part of Socrates view is that moral goodness is connected with knowledge, and that morally it is better to receive suffering than inflict it.
Gorgias’ Encomium of Helen is a beautiful, short, though enigmatic, speech that demonstrates sophist, Gorgias’ mastery of the art of rhetoric. In this speech, Gorgias attempts to accomplish two important tasks. One, by presenting a reasoned argument to his audiences, Gorgias tries to lift the blame off of Helen for causing the Trojan War. Two, by demonstrating his mastery of the art of rhetoric, Gorgias attempts to attract future consumers of his teaching of the art of rhetoric. This might also be very likely given that Gorgias is a sophist that traveled from one city to another looking for students that will purchase his ability to teach them rhetoric. Sophists were needed in Greek cities as they provided education in public speaking, a
