White-Nosed Syndrome and the Hopeful Cure One the most underestimated animals in the United States is the bat. It is either the side-kick or essence of doom or evil in most Halloween stories. This nocturnal animal is a highly necessary part of society and their need in our ecosystem. Just like most animals, the loss of a species is due to death, disease, or human exposure, creates a trickledown effect on all other aspects of life. Due to their necessity, the White-Nosed Syndrome plaguing bats today must be rectified to preserve the ecosystem of caves and the balance of insects in the world today.

Although the visual systems of bats and humans vary in many ways, both visual systems have evolved to benefit each species differently. While humans see life in color with their cones during the day, bats are the kings of nocturnal mammals and are capable of maneuvering throughout the night. It has become clear that bats are capable of so much more then just echolocation from a visual perspective. It is beyond fascinating to realize that what was once thought of as true, is actually false in reality. Therefore, it is safe to say that the phrase “you are as blind as a bat,” can be put to

What’s a bat and star combined that lives underwater? The answer is bat star! Bat star, or ‘asterina miniata’ (scientific name) is a marvelous invertebrate. Its scientific name was way too complicated to comprehend, but bat star had another name called ‘patiria miniata’, which meant vermilion dish (scarlet dish). In this animal report, I will be presenting animal anatomy and appearance (bat star’s physical characteristics), classification (what kind of invertebrate bat star is, how I know it, etc.), habitat (where bat star lives) and diet (what bat star eats and other information about bat star’s food).

White-nose syndrome is a disorder connected to exceptional bat transience event in several areas of North America. In the study conducted by Blehert et al (2009), bats declines beyond 75% from winter 2006 to 2007. The fungal growths on their muzzles, ears, and/or wing membranes of the bats, cause them to collapse (Blehert et al. 2009). Thus, this experiment was done as research methods for inhibiting the growth, investigating factors affect the growth and to prevent the growth of the tip.

We view the world differently depending on what is taught to us and the people we are exposed to while growing up. We see the world how we want to see it and we make assumptions and form opinions about people without getting to know the truth. Perspective, or point of view, is predetermined by our own experiences. As perspective changes, the spectacle in an event or image changes. The spectacle in an image is the person or object that is most valued. The viewer invests the most attention and focuses most on this person or object. As our view point changes, so do our values and therefore so does the spectacle. Citizen by Claudia Rankine includes an altered photograph of a lynching. The original image includes

The classification of C. townsendii becomes more intricate at the family classification. Classed into family Vespertilionidae, Townsend’s bat follows the family characteristics of a simple face that lacks a noseleaf. Furthermore, Townsend’s bat falls into the genus Corynorhinus, which is characterized by lump noses and unique, easily identifiable long ears. Corynorhinus harbors only three unique species of bats: the Townsend’s big-eared bat, the Mexican big-eared bat, and Rafinesque’s big-eared bat. The major distinguishing characteristics amongst these species are their coats and habitats. All three species natively inhabit North America, but their climate and habitat regions vary. For example, C.mexicanus (Mexican big-eared bat) resides primarily in the high, humid regions of Mexico while C. townsendii prefers a more moderate climate and a rocky habitat. Moreover, C. townsendii is easily

Theodore Roethke’s poem ‘The Bat’ clearly focuses on the animal the bat and effectively conveys through the latter an important message to the reader. One could interpret this poem in various ways; however a prominent theme would be that every

In the late 1940’s Thomas Jukes’ curiosity got the best of him, when fishermen noticed the fish near Orangetown, New York, had been growing at an increasingly high rate. Normally fisherman wouldn’t be complaining about the catch being large, but the new factory nearby was suspected to somehow have caused this dramatic change. At first Jukes believed this phenomenon was caused by exposure to an excessive amount of vitamin B12, which was seeping into the water supply from a nearby pharmaceutical laboratory. However, when Jukes teamed up with Robert Stokstad they determined that the mystery growth factor had been caused by the production and waste discharge of a new antibiotic developed in the laboratory called tetracycline. The new antibiotic was used to treat infections, thus altering the way calories were being used inside the animals bodies. The calories normally used by the immune system were now being consumed to increase bone size and muscle mass.

Erik Erikson, a developmental psychologist, stated the first stage of human development is one of the most important. Because an infant is entirely dependent upon his or her caregivers, the quality of care plays an important role in the shaping of the child’s personality. In the case of Antowne Fisher, with his unfortunate circumstance of the death of his father and the incarceration of his mother, he lacked the care and love only parents can provide. However, once he entered the foster care system, Mrs. Nellie Strange, a savior of sort and his foster mother, became the tool in his development through the first stage of Erickson’s stages of development.

This week I read an opinion piece by Alex Ogles regarding his experience and thoughts after receiving staff training for his workplace, from police officers, regarding preparation for possible active shooter events. In the article, Let’s not debate violent video games’ mental impact again, Ogles outlines how he was shocked at how much focus was given to the subject of a possible shooters video game proclivities after he thought the issue had been thoroughly debunked. I think Ogles was trying to voice an opinion that many video game players feel when the subject is brought up; why are we still talking about this?

The Otocyon megalotis, or the bat-eared fox, is a genus of fox found in two places: Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Tanzania; and Angola, Rhodesia, and South Africa. They live in savannas and grasslands, and dig extensive dens. Their name comes from their large ears, which range from 113 to 135 millimeters long. They are distinct from other fox genera because of their unusually numerous teeth and their yellowish brown bodies.

The focus of this paper is on psychodynamic (intergenerational and psychoanalytic) family therapies; and how these concepts apply to helping the protagonist in the major motion picture Antwone Fisher overcome traumatic incidents he experienced during his childhood and adolescent years, as well as help him to manage his current anger issues.
