Paper cranes

Whooping cranes nearly died out in the mid 20th century, with a count finding only 16 living birds. But since then, these endangered animals have taken a step back from the brink of extinction. Breeding programs have boosted their numbers, and breeding efforts have raised the number of wild birds to over 200, with roughly the same number living in captivity. These white birds are the tallest in North America. They live in family groups and stay in marshes, shallow lakes, and lagoons. Cranes feed by

Stephen Crane, an American writer who emerged during the late 19th-century, separated himself from other writers by using his personal life experiences and observations as inspiration for some of the vivid novels and poems he created. Crane’s works include the usage of realism, a form of writing that realistically describes its subject matter as it is or how it really appears. Crane’s realism, which was both innovative and new, later helped spur the beginning of American Naturalism, a movement that

walking towards the large crane at the port. Chris was too small to be noticed by the men working the crane, but Jack had good eyes and noticed him wandering toward the crane. Jack knew even then, his father had told him many times, that being around cranes that were in use was dangerous. He cried out for the boy he saw to stop, but the boy ignored him and began running, so he raced after him and shouted for him to stop again. At this sound the man who was about to start the crane noticed the boy running

“Let’s talk about pulleys today! I have some pulleys here. Will anyone assemble them?” My high school physics teacher looked around our classroom. I raised my hand, walked to the front of the classroom and took up a pulley. Bending down, I concentrated hard on the system in front of me. This scene brought me back to my first encounter with pulleys in the science center years ago. A voice echoed in my mind loudly and clearly: “Don’t be obsessed and carry on!” The story of that day started to unfold

All of my life, I loved exploring and finding beautiful places. I loved climbing that mountain, getting to the top of that building, climbing that jungle gym. It was fun for me. I have had many fun experiences doing this, and this story I wish to tell you is one of the most interesting, because I have the most fun exploring the unknown. During the summer, I went to a nearby park called Prophetstown. It’s a park with a recreated farm from the times of William Henry Harrison and Tecumseh. During my

To describe a time that a leader I know “Challenged the Process”, I am going to look back at the example that I used for our last reflection. One-day last summer while working for the Boulder County trail crew, my crew, as well as one more, were tasked with moving a 1-ton bridge using grip-hoists (manually-operated winches), and it proved to be a much more daunting task than we had anticipated. After many failed attempts to move the bridge, frustration among crew members was at an all-time high.

Shipping industry is a huge field that widely expand all over the world. “Almost all international trade in goods is transported by sea. Ocean shipping plays a central and essential role in the world economy and in world trade. In recent years, international trade has become a dominant factor in economic growth for most industrialized countries. Many newly industrialized countries have become so through major trade growth.” (Fearnleys, 1982) However, without our noticed, the increase the technology
