The Hawaiian monk seal, or Monachus schauinslandi, was one of the original species to be placed under the Endangered Species Act that was enacted in 1973. As of 2010, the population of the monk seal is approximately 1,100, with an annual decrease of approximately 4.5%. The Hawaiian monk seal is primarily found on the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands that are made up of coral reef atolls, seamounts, banks, and shoals. This is due to the fact that the monk seals primarily forage on the barrier reefs

December 7th, 1941, was the day 2,403 Americans lost their lives and 1,200 wounded during the Japanese air raid, on Pearl Harbor.

Japan’s wanted to attack Midway to gain power in the Pacific Ocean and to eliminate the United States Navy for a long time. Since the U.S. suffered a major defeat at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, felt he

Aesthetics 1943: The Battle of Midway is one of many commercially and critically successful games from the golden age of arcade video games that are remembered. The graphics in Galaga matches nicely with the optical experience/flow of the games design. [Fig.5] The aesthetics in 1943: The Battle of Midway are extremely effective; the use of CRT fixed colours for the monitor completely determined the game’s visual style. The scene creates a kind of ‘hyper-real’ look, which fits perfectly with the

Pearl Harbor Pearl Harbor was a attack on a naval harbor base in Hawaii. The Japanese flew planes over and tried to destroy the base. The attack was also known as the Battle of Pearl Harbor. This later led World War ll . The Japanese called this attack operation AI, and they later turned it into Operation Z. The Japanese were making plans for the surprise attack as early as January of 1941(Brett, pearlharborwarbirds.com).When the attack started it was a total surprise. It was such a surprise that

strategy was to find a way to impede the U.S. long enough to finish their goal. This resulted in the attack of Pearl Harbor. During this time, Japanese also set up offenses in American controlled regions in the Pacific such as the Philippines, Guam and Midway islands. Under the leadership of General Douglass MacArthur, some battles ended in defeat like the Philippines. American and Filipino prisoners of the Battle of Bataan resulted in a Death March. Prisoners would either die going to the camps or at

The article I read was about Hawaiian monk seals. Obviously the seals are found in Hawaii. The seals have six main islands in Hawaii where they populate: Kure Atoll, Midway Islands, Pearl and Hermes Reef, Lisianski Island, Laysan Island, and French Frigate Shoals. The Hawaiian monk seals are named the official state mammal of Hawaii. The Hawaiian monk seals have a diet that ranges from fish, squid, octopus, and lobster. The seals hunt mainly at night and during the day they lay on sandy beaches.

USS Midway Museum On September 24, 2016 I had the privilege of visiting the USS Midway Historical Museum. My friend Michelle, who is also a CBU student, accompanied me while we explored this fantastic site. I was recommended to tour the USS Midway by my German foreign exchange student who was able to visit the attraction a couple weeks earlier. Niels emphasized how much he enjoyed his visit and explained that it was a shame that I had not been there earlier, due to the fact that I live so close to

going to attack the base at Midway. However, the U.S. needed the Japanese flyers to attack so that they would be far enough away for the U.S. bombers station off to the East to attack the enemy aircraft. They allowed damage to the base and took the attack so that they could ultimately win the battle. As a result of the attacks the enemy was away so the U.S. could take advantage of the situation. The risk to U.S. lives and property was great with bombs being dropped on Midway. However, the juice was worth
