Do you believe that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person? While Other religions say that God is not a man, so Master Fard Muhammad cannot be Allah in person, the Nation of Islam believes that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person. I do believe that Master Fard Muhammad is Allah in person, and most people doubt it and ask what evidence do we have to prove that, but despite what other people say I do believe that there is reasonable evidence to prove that because He had gained 10,000 followers alone in Black Bottom, Detroit, He took a man named Elijah Poole, who only had a third grade education, and taught him for three years, a knowledge that was so powerful, and He came to North America by himself to raise his father's people.

Now, as most may know sea turtles are both marine and land animals depending on what stage of life they are in. Which means that they need to be able to go on land during certain stages of their lives. One of the main reasons why a sea turtle will go on to land is to lay their eggs. Within the last few years this has become harder and harder for the already endangered species. It

Humans have heavily affected sea turtle mortality rates, but one may ask what the benefit of having a stable and healthy population of sea turtles is. Sea turtles hold many important roles in both terrestrial and marine ecosystems where they are found. Along coasts where sea turtles are found nesting, beaches have been seen to have an increase in organic matter, phosphorus, nitrogen, and lipids (Bouchard 2000). This matter left by the sea turtle is in the forms of unhatched eggs and eggshells, which are then brought into the food chain through decomposers, such as beetles, or sea turtle predators, such as crabs (Bouchard 2000).

They are the only species of sea turtle that routinely lays eggs during daytime hours. And, they often do so en masse, during a fascinating spectacle called an arribada (“arrival” in Spanish).

The Red-bellied Cooter is being threatened by both man-made and natural causes. Do to economic growth, areas that used to be a good habitat for these turtles are now being turned into new, buildings like apartments, houses, and stores. In areas where the turtles can live, they are threatened before they have even hatched from their eggs by other predators like raccoons, skunks, or even snapping turtles. Almost all of the eggs in a nest are harmed before they have a chance to hatch. So while humans taking up land takes the Red-bellied Cooters’ homes, their predators take their lives.

Grandma Abbas was born May 14, 1932 at the Presbyterian hospital in Waterloo, Iowa. Her dad was an engraver, and her mom was a homemaker. My grandmother and her sister, LaVonne, went to Irving grade school and walked home for lunch at noon. Grandma then went to West Jr. High school through the 8th grade just a few blocks from her house. She took acrobat lessons at a young age and was very flexible. They roller skated in the spring, played croquet in the summer, and in the winter, they played ping-pong. On Sundays, grandma Abbas and her siblings would visit their grandparent’s farm near Finchford, Iowa. They played baseball, looked for arrowheads at the quarry, and hunted for pheasants or squirrels. She helped her grandmother make dinner for men when they threshed oats in the summer and played on the haystack with her cousins. Grandma also told me she enjoyed watching my great grandpa worked in the field with his draft horses, milk cows, and give slop to the pigs (Dotty Abbas, 2016). She remembers turning the crank when they would make homemade ice cream and adding Root Beer for floats. This was a real treat to have.

The green sea turtle occurs throughout tropical and subtropical oceans and is among the largest of the hard-shelled sea turtles growing to as much as 440 pounds and four feet in length. The breeding populations in Florida were listed as endangered in 1978 (43 FR 32800 32811, July 28, 1978) whereas all other populations were listed as threatened (NOAA 2015h). There is a proposal for identification of a North Atlantic green sea turtle distinct population that would be listed as threatened, continuing its current listing status near New York (80 FR 51763 51764, August 26, 2015). They are found in the shallow waters (except during migration) of shoals, bays, lagoons reefs, and inlets, often where submerged aquatic vegetation exists, from Maine south to Florida, and throughout the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea (USFWS 2015n, 2015o; NOAA 2015e). Green sea turtles nests are not present in New York; however, they occasionally are found stranded on or near the shore (NYSDEC 2015ad). Breeding takes places in subtropical to tropical oceans every two, three, or four years between June and September, with peak nesting in June and July (NOAA 2015h; USFWS 2015u). Hatching usually occurs at night, and many green sea turtle hatchlings seek refuge and food in masses of floating sea plants (USFWS

This rare turtle found in the United States is the smallest species of turtle in the United States. It can only grow up to 4.5 inches long! This tiny turtle is in two very small distinct populations that are approximately 250 miles away from each other. These turtles are very recognizable by the orange patches on their head. The National Fish and Wildlife foundation says, “In the last 30 years, these turtles have disappeared from more than 50 percent of the wetlands it once inhabited.” I believe we should be resurrecting more of the land that they used to live on.

The Graptemys caglei, also known as the Cagle’s Map Turtle, is an endangered turtle species found in San Antonio, Texas and along the Guadalupe River. It identifies easily by the pattern on its shell which resembles an aerial view topography, as well as its spiked shell edges, which are not as sharp as other map turtles of the same genus. Although the Cagle’s Map Turtle has natural predators pose a threat to the individual turtles’ lives, the predators are not a greater threat than habitat disturbances created by humans. Unfortunately, this species suffered a significant drop in population since the mid-1970 through changes in its habitat disallow support of a larger population of the turtles(van Dijk, P. P., 2011).

Rather than have one or two high dense areas of Chelonia mydas entire lagoons and bays should be protected, data shows that green turtles have high fidelity with foraging areas in their lagoons (Senko et al., 2010). Another academic journal discuss how application and enforcement of legislation both domestic and international has increased in nesting and the creation of marine protected areas, more specifically in this case in the Caribbean Costa Rica (Troëng and Rankin, 2005). Non-government organizations like world wildlife fund have taken steps with local communities to combat the illegal trade of green turtle eggs and meat on the black market (worldwildlifefund.org,

These are persons in their developmental stages. Reaching out at the right moment in developmental years is crucial to impressing sustainability upon our youth. These impressions are lifelong necessities that will extend the livelihood of our environment and more specifically, sea turtles. According to a recent finding in the U.S. National Library of Medicine,

Sea turtle hatchlings are now having trouble finding their way to the sea because of all the lights from buildings that are built on the coast. They get disoriented when they are born and will wander in the wrong way away from the sea. This leads them to predators that live inland or will even cause the turtle to become dehydrated and die. Humans are also building coastal armoring that is blocking female turtles from reaching a suitable nesting habitat. This is a severe problem in Florida where they have many coastal rock elevations and sand bags. Where all this beach development is occurring thousands of sea turtles are trying to nest. Beach dredging is also having a direct effect on sea turtle's trying to nest. If the sand is too impacted or is drastically different from native beach sediment, the mother will have trouble creating the

Imagine a world of chaos. We see things like that all the time in movies, where zombies roam the earth and there are just those few main survivors left. The world is in ruins. If ocean life was to die out, there would be a collapse of civilization as a whole. Just like we see on TV, the world would become a place where no order exists. This would lead to human extinction. The ocean dies, we die along with it, and if sea turtles die, so does the ocean. In simple words, one could say that human life depends on sea turtles. In this speech I will be covering three topics. First, how a sea turtle’s diet benefits marine life and humans, second, how sea turtles provide homes and food for other species, and last, how sea turtles protect beaches from washing away.

The author, Naheed Mustafa, starts out with two points of view others have of her, a “Muslim terrorist” or an oppressed woman (Mustafa 1). However, with these two points of view, Mustafa is suggesting that people only view her in these two ways because in their eyes a Muslim woman cannot be more. Then she introduces the hijab, a scarf which covers her neck, head, and throat, but explains that young Muslim women like her are “reinterpreting” the purpose of the hijab: give women absolute control over their bodies. According to Mustafa, the hijab does not only give women absolute control but freedom. Yet, others do not understand this concept or why a young woman who was born in a land that is free and full of opportunities like North America

Marguerite Porete was a Christian mystic who wrote during the thirteenth century, and she focused her writings on achieving unity with God through the death of the self. She uses agnostic terminology in her description of God, as well as a metaphor for courtly love in portraying the souls relationship with God. In her book Nobility and Annihilation in Marguerite Porete’s Mirror of Simple Souls, Joanne Maguire Robinson argues that for Porete, God was inconceivable, and God is “beyond human thought and understanding.” Junayd of Baghdad was a Muslim mystic, whose writings from the eighth century focused on the annihilation of the self in order to reach unification with God. Despite writing more than four hundred years apart from each other, Porete and Junayd both sought their answer for unity with God in the notion
