During whale evolution many skeletal changes occurred, the whale started out as an animal that mostly hunted and existed on land and slowly evolved. The skeletal system of a whale got much longer, its body developed new structures to help increase its survivability such as its flippers.

The evolutionary path of a whale is a fascinating process of a terrestrial mammal that evolves into a marine mammal. This evolutionary path started with one of the earliest ancestors called “Pakicetus”. A Pakicetus was discovered to be a land animal with four legs that had teeth as carnivores. It skull structure was long, but this organism didn’t look like any marine animal. The scientist then discovered that on the skull’s ear region it was surrounded by a bony wall. This feature on an organism only was distinct from one type of species, scientist discovered that this animal “Pakicetus” was an ancestor of a whale. By comparing the early whales Pakicetus to the next generation of ancestors Ambulocetus, the Ambulocetus whale looks more like

The origin of modern day whales, a mystery that has puzzled paleontologists for years, may have just been solved with the discovery of an ankle bone. This discovery might sound simple and unimportant, but the bones of these ancient animals hold many unanswered questions and provide solid proof of origin and behavior. The relationship between whales and other animals has proven to be difficult because whales are warm-blooded, like humans, yet they live in the sea. The fact that they are warm-blooded suggests that they are related to some type of land animal. However, the questions of exactly which animal, and how whales evolved from land to water, have remained unanswered until now.

The Glissade is a part of common Ballet choreography. It is a move that allows dancers to transport themselves through time and music. This move thrills the body and its instruments are the legs. While sitting in our seats what we see is grace. Music is playing and people are moving graciously to the beat. When we first look at it, it seems like this is an easy move because of how effortlessly the dancers move. However, by carefully watching dancers, we realize that this is a complex move that requires planning, quick thinking, rhythm and control of the body. On the stage, what unfolds is a wonderful story full of grace, strength and meaning for life and nature. The glissade is an image of serenity, peace and happiness. Happiness

There are numerous counts of evidence showing the processes of evolution and how species ultimately evolved over millions of years. One of the most compelling hypotheses behind evolution was presented by Charles Darwin with his study of the Galapagos Islands. His study showing the various different birds and their different evolutions they went through to be able to survive the changes of weather and relocation. The birds he studied had to change in order to survive, or as he simply puts it: “Survival of the Fittest”. Evolution is the changing of past organisms to diversify and have the ability to fit better in their environment and survive. Diving into the dinosaur cladogram, studies have shown that ancient dinosaurs, over hundreds of millions of years ago, evolved into our modern day birds, and not lizards as many suppose. It became apparent that there would not be enough food for a 9 ton dinosaur to consume on a daily basis forever. So evolution occurred and dinosaurs evolved to become more efficient so they could survive more effectively in their

Recent evidence suggests that whales may not have always inhabited the oceans. Bones of an ancient ancestor of modern day whales, the Basilosaurus, were discovered in Pakistan that suggest whales evolved from a wolf-like creature. This genus of an early whale lived 34-40 million years ago in the late Eocene. These fossils show many different features in common with both modern day whales and modern day land mammals. Since the discovery of these bones, many other evidences show that whales are a likely descendant of the Basilosaurus through many different ways, such as embryologic comparison and DNA testing. Whales aren’t the only suspected descendants

“The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008, also known as MHPAEA is defined as a federal law that prevents group health plans and health insurance issuers that provide mental health or substance use disorder benefits from imposing less favorable benefit limitations on those benefits than on medical or surgical benefits” (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, para 1). Originally, MHPAEA applied only to group health plans and group health insurance coverage, but was “amended by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” to also apply to individual health insurance coverage (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, para 2). “The Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 (MHPA) defined that large group health plans could not impose annual dollar limits on mental health benefits that are less favorable than any limits imposed on medical or surgical benefits” (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, para 6).

SOUTHERN TIER (WENY) - Registration is now open for the 2nd annual Southern Tier Car-Free Challenge.

The cool, calm and collective Gunna who creates loud and phenomenal music. The in differ name, Gunna comes from his cousin who felt that the name Gunna is more suitable for his aptitude and lifestyle, so his previous stage name, Snypa was dismissed. Born and raised on the Southside of Chicago, Gunna took on a lot of knowledge from the streets that kept him focused on a career path in Hip Hop. Growing up listening to Jay- Z and Lil Wayne, he knew that he was capable of making great music. Being a part of the evolution of Hip Hop, his sound of music is different than the artists that he listens too. He is motivated by the love he have for music. He is passionate about his lyrics that limericks, gives energy and represents the realness in life.

In the early part of the 21st century it became clear that the planet Earth could not sustain its growing population much longer. Global warming was causing colder, wetter winter conditions in the north and warmer, drier summer conditions in the south. Hurricanes and Tsunamis were eroding the coast lines all over the planet. Areas that were once ideal for growing food crops were no longer bearing fruit. Draught and famine was becoming more common than ever before. As a way to combat these problems the world leaders got together at a summit and created a terraforming task force. The purpose of this task force was to find uninhabited planets in other solar systems, that could sustain carbon life forms. An international crew was assembled and trained for this very special mission. During the ninth year of their quest the six person crew found PSR-15, in the Epsilon Eridani sector. It was an M-class planet with no signs of intelligent life.

BOOM! CRACK! The fireworks in the distance looked beautiful reflecting over the lake. It was the first time the five of us had gotten together in a while. We were all enjoying our day, but Paul had suddenly disappeared. I went looking for him. I found him and he asked me to stay with him so he wouldn’t be alone. This story is not uncommon among many veterans. After a war many veterans come home with PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD is a disorder that people who experience traumatic events can receive. To understand PTDS, first one must comprehend the disease and its causes, how it affects the victim, and how it is currently treated.

Almost all of the black whales, present the same kind of genes of Tilikum (they can get aggressive)

“The process of evolution can be very slow, and allows living creatures to develop an anatomy that is structured for them to thrive” (Dolphin Evolution). Evolution is the gradual development of a creature, especially from a simple to a more complex organism. Many mammals have evolved from one animal to another. For instance, dolphins has evolved from land animals to ocean animals. All of the dolphins belong to the cetacean family, which also include whales, dolphins and porpoises. Dolphins are now aquatic mammals who are very intelligent and curious. However, what forces made them evolve? And what did Darwin mean by “survive by the fittest”? Or what principles of evolution or survival are at work? (Samantha & Paula)

Gesell’s theory is a positive aspect to physical development as it gives practitioners, parents and other family members more of an understanding of genetics and how genetics can affect a child’s rate of physical development, by giving people more of an understanding, they can plan and carry out activities that is suitable for the rate of the child’s development to encourage it. Gesell believed that early childhood development is mostly down to heredity and genetics however nurture such as the environment also has a huge effect on the a young child’s or baby’s physical growth and development. In my own opinion, I think that Gesell’s theory of maturation plays an important part in a young child’s physical growth and development and I think that Gesell’s theory is correct to a certain extent, what a child inherits from their parents can determine the rate in which they develop and the order in which they reach their milestones because if a child inherits a genetic disease or condition such as cystic fibrosis then they will not reach as many milestones as a child who does not have the condition, their rate of development will also be slowed down as the child will not be able to do as many physical activities as a child who does not have the condition, however even if a child inherits cystic fibrosis they will still have more of an opportunity to enhance their physical development if their parents interacts with them and carries out physical activities with them than a child whose parents who doesn't encourage development and growth.
