In June immense schools of small, silvery fish called capelin enter the hundreds of bays that dot the eastern coast of Newfoundland to perform a fascinating ceremony. The males and females separately approach the gravel beaches and are borne ashore in waves so laden with their bodies as to be virtual walls of fish. There, on the gravel, the females lay their eggs and the males fertilize them; then most of the fish die. -“The Spawning of the Capelin,” Scientific American “Colors,” said Leigh Hunt, a 19th-century poet, "are the smiles of Nature." Just how does an observer distinguish one smile from another? To a great extent the answer lies in the three classes of cone-shaped, color-sensing cells in the retina of the eye. Each class responds

In this quote, Wes tells how him and Justin became close friends because of the private school they both attended in the Bronx. By the language Wes uses, it is clear that he admires Justin a lot, almost like a brother. Like the narrator, the other Wes also had a male figure to look up to, his half brother. While Wes’s brother, Tony, reminds Wes how important going to school and getting good grades is, he himself dropped out of school. What Wes really needed in his life was a male figure, like the narrator’s, who lead him by example and was around almost everyday to support and motivate him to do the same. Justin provided to Wes the protection, companionship, and direction that was never given to the other Wes, which lead him to have to navigate
Mature females (10-14 years old) that survive will eventually return to the beach on which they were born to lay their own eggs. When these new hatchlings emerge, they must make their way across the sand to the ocean, just as their mothers did, in order to imprint the scents of that particular beach on the females. In this way, they will know where to return to continue this cycle of life that has endured for over 45 million years.
Background knowledge demands: For this book, students must know what fish and scales are. They will also need to know that fish live under the sea.
As we all know, color is the voice for the artist 's sentiment. It makes up the appearance of a picture. Color is the decisive factor in depths of the two-dimensional plane of the artwork, making the viewer feel physically and mentally attracted, or the context of things - the phenomenon the author wants to present. Colors have been around for a long time, but there is not a common definition for colors. And perhaps humans are one of the luckiest creatures that can identify colors. Often, the recipient 's eye knows a myriad of colors and colors that always change based on the relationship between light and perspective. In art, color creates a sense of
My favorite quote from “They Say/I Say” belonged to the ‘Agree -But with a Difference’ section: “In a culture like America’s that prizes originality, independence, and competitive individualism, writers sometimes don’t like to admit that anyone else has made the same point, seemingly beating them to the punch. In our view, however, as long as you can support a view taken by someone else without merely restating what he or she has said, there is no reason to worry about being original.” I purposefully chose this quote because I believe that I can share some significant knowledge from my field, and support this statement.
Most people do not see color as simply the way something looks, however. They tend to associate certain colors with specific feelings, emotions and memories. (Dmitrieva) For instance, blue is most commonly associated with “feeling blue” meaning one feels upset or depressed, however, blue is

Furthermore, color vision is not only beneficial in the survival of animals in the wild, but also the quality of life of animals in captivity. If an animal’s color vision is able to be determined, then enrichment, diet, and exhibit design can all be modified in a manner that provides the greatest mentally stimulating environment for the perception of that one individual. Ultimately, color vision is an
As the calm brackish waters lapse onto the shores of Point Clear to Daphne, many people are hopeful for a Jubilee during the sizzling summer months. The neighbors of this community always alert one another to the sound of bells ringing and the eager cries of “Jubilee!” Everyone will come rushing down to the shore with their laundry baskets, gigs, nets, sacks, and almost anything you can imagine in order to gather an abundant supply of seafood. This natural phenomenon has only been known to occur regularly in Mobile, Alabama, and also across the world in Tokyo, Japan, which testifies to its rarity. A Jubilee occurs when coincidental conditions in the bay result in disoriented deep-sea animals such as flounders, shrimps, crabs, and other sea creature are driven to the shallow waters and into the nets of Mobile fishermen. The term Jubilee is often defined as “A season of rejoice.” The term seems to be so positive; however, this event could potentially be harmful to the fish.
When you associate words like shameless with everyday life you don’t think of it being a television show, one may think of shameless as a negative adjective used to describe a person showing a lack of shame, but it's a comedy/drama television show that really digs deep into real life scenarios and shows how a true dysfunctional family lives in the “hood” of Chicago. Shameless details how much leadership and mental stability Fiona Gallagher has to have in order to run a family of six in her early twenties.
Hello Everyone! We are so close to the finish line, another week down and only 2 more to go! This week I spent my time observing in the cardiology department. The most excitement actually came from an emergency situation that arose with one of the nurse’s family members who was shadowing her for the day. The patient would suddenly become ill without any warning. His heart rate and blood pressure dropped drastically and his lips became pale. He was rushed to the stress lab to get vital signs but we had a hard time placing the leads on his chest due to hyperhidrosis. Surprisingly within minutes his color came back and he also became more responsive. As we continued monitoring him, his heart rate and blood pressure returned to normal. At one point
One of the most important observations anyone could make while viewing a painting is the artist’s delicate choice and use of colors. In paintings, colors serve two different but equally important purposes. One purpose is to draw attention to the painting, while the other purpose is to display emotions. An artist that understood the importance of color in paintings extremely well was the late talented Vincent Van Gogh. In his painting Café Terrace at Night, Van Gogh incorporates a vast array of colors to arouse emotions from within the audience. In order to assess which colors aroused which emotions two important questions must be answered. What emotions do the specific colors used within the painting give off to the audience? How have the emotions behind the colors been learned through normal human experience over time?
