Earth Worm Tunnels

After reading Tunnels by Mariana Carreno King, I viewed the play in different colors. I envisioned the outside world colorful and everything underneath in the tunnels to be dark, monotone, and mute. Hence, since Ester has just left the outside world, her first outfit is colorful (pink top and blue jeans), while both Dee and Victoria, who live in the tunnels, wear grey and black. Ester is given a new change of clothes of which is a boring beige color. By showing a drastic change from a normal colorful outfit with tennis shoes (outfit is torn and dirty from traveling from the outside world into the tunnels), to a uniform monotone costume, I wanted to portray the feeling of dullness that comes from living in the tunnels. In addition, hair and

Leaves were blowing off all of the trees and swirling around with each gust of wind. My dad turned on the news channel to see what was happening and there was a tornado watch. He told us that we should be safe and go into the basement. It had gotten extremely windy by then and we

Finally, “Tunneling to the Center of the Earth” depicts the story of three college graduates who discovers themselves. Feeling unaccomplished because of their degrees and stubbornly avoiding reality, they decide to dig tunnels and outlive their summer freely underground for several months. It was not until winter came and forced them back to reality that they found themselves in better circumstances than they assumed. After he rises above ground, the narrator realizes how, “hiding in tunnels had been a way to avoid the responsibilities of the real world…But it was more than that” (103). The narrator’s digging of tunnels assisted him in finding his purpose for Morse code and how it can be incorporated with his career in landscaping; his

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that spins while in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. This is what hit a little town called Greensburg Kansas, no bigger than 785 people. The tornado ripped through the town like a child goes through their present on Christmas morning. From this day on Greensburg will never be the same, dreams and hopes scattered everywhere. But, Greensburg came back and hit the tornado back by trying to become the “Greenest Town in America”.

One of the most difficult stages of a young adult’s life is when the individual has to decide who he wants to be and how to achieve that goal. As it is common for all to struggle with identifying who they are and who they may want to be, Kelvin Wilson describes specific scenarios that address what types of barriers one may need to overcome. In his Tunneling to the Center of the Earth, there are three stories that reveal an insight of the lives of three different individuals who are facing similar issues of identity. Through these stories, Willison implies how young people may struggle with their identities due to societal roles, consequences, and the acceptance of reality. In his “Go, Fight, Win,” Wilson brings the story of Jenny who

“The dust from the roads fluffed up and spread out and fell on the weeds beside the fields, and fell into the fields a little way. now the wind grew strong and hard and it worked at the rain crust in the corn fields. Little by little the sky was darkened by the mixing dust, and the wind felt over the earth, loosened the dust, and carried it away. The wind grew stronger. The rain crust broke and the dust lifted up out of the fields and drove gray plumes into

Little Bill came running in the house after a long day at school yelling “Mom, Mom I have a test tommorow and I need help studying.” So Bill gave her the paper and said “Read me the definition and then I’ll say the answer.” His mom read the paper “a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall; a shortage of water resulting from this” “Drought?” “Correct, a large, destructive fire that spreads quickly over woodland or brush.” “Wildfire?” “Correct, a mobile, destructive vortex of violently rotating winds having the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud and advancing beneath a large storm system.” “Tornado?” “Correct, a small body of matter from outer space that enters the earth's atmosphere, becoming incandescent as a result of friction and appearing

The sandcastle worm is an odd, yet fascinating creature that utilizes a substance that one may mimic to understand the principles of its mechanisms, to obtain ideas of concepts which may be applied to benefit medicine (Hwang, et al., 2015). The Sandcastle worm (Phragmatopoma Californica) constructs its tubular shelter by binding grains of sand together with the adhesive produced and secreted from the glands of its thorax (Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, 2011). The sandcastle worm, much like mussels, secretes a protein adhesive containing the amino acid DOPA. Similar to mussel glue, catechol groups in DOPA in the sandcastle worm’s glue allow for the natural adhesive to bind the grains together in order for the worm to form

The goal of this case study is to follow a packet capture file to investigate the fictitious character Ann Dercover. Examining the file will show how she uses network tunneling to cover her tracks, but more importantly, it will help develop skills that can be applied to network forensics. The challenge is to determine if the DNS traffic is truly suspicious, determine the purpose of the DNS traffic, recover all possible information on the local and remote systems involved, and the risk associated with the data leaking from the organization.

As minute as they might seem, we owe it to these little creatures. We have to hand it to them for keeping are plants healthy and our soil nourished. The earthworm lives in moist soil, and mud with dead plant material. There are over a thousand species and they live all throughout the world on all continents. Earthworms feed on dead plant material, mostly leaves, but when roots die off they tend to consume that too. They decompose dead plant material and recycle that as waste. Once soil is passed through the worm the pH of the waste is neutral which allows for a balanced level for the soil. After a worm is done consuming the organic material, the waste from the animal can be used as fertilizer for the plants. Earthworms waste contains nitrogen

Comicbooks and science fiction novels have always written about wormholes in space. Wormholes are an opportunity to meet aliens. This time, however, a laboratory made wormhole was created. Scientists have discovered the possibilities of quantum leaps and timie travel. As they continue to find out if there are huge implications on the space-time continuum, NASA and SpaceX plans to make contact with aliens.

Earthworms have a body that is shaped cylindrical and usually varies from 90 to 900 millimeters when they are full grown. The outside of the worm is divided into segements that is called primay segmentation. This means that the worm is divided by the longitudinal axis which is seperated by the septa and furrows. The Lumbricus species have an advantage when they are trying to tunnel and during locomotion by having retractile structures. Having these structures the species is able to retract parts of their body. Setae is usually one of the main characteristics that are noticed while looking at these worms. Having six layers in the body wall is something not usually normal when looking at the Lumbricus species. These six layers are opened by three apertures which are the excretory, genital and reproductive apertures. The six layers contain the cuticle, epidermis, nerve plexus, circular muscles, longtitudinal muscle, and the peristoneal layer.

Who knew that ferrets and monkeys could have created tornados by themselves? Well, it so very happened. A new generation of Tornados, much much bigger than before! It’s a bigger deal than anyone could think. They remaking tornados bigger than ever and are trying to get back at us because the creation of us, humans.

Earthworms primarily communicate with each other through touch and taste. However, this communication is not often seen, as earthworms are known for their lack of social behaviour.

A tornado is a viscous and possibly deadly occurrence in our weather that can happen at any time or any place around the world with almost no warning. I reside in the panhandle of Florida where we have hurricanes and tornadoes. Weather forecasters can give people enough warning that they can prepare and/or leave in the event of a hurricane, however a tornado is much different. Hurricanes present favorable weather conditions for tornadoes, as well as normal, everyday, rainy weather patterns do. I have lived through a direct hit by a tornado in 1981 where there no warnings or signs given. There were no thunderstorms, nor any “hair raising” activities of what weather could be lurking out there; we were having just a normal rainy day in the Florida panhandle. There were no weather statements or warnings that we have available to us today. The warning we received as we ate supper that Sunday afternoon was the horrific sound of a train. I was 11 years old and did not know or understand what was going on, but I instinctively knew something was terribly wrong, as did my parents. We took cover in a small bathroom in our house for what seemed like hours that was in fact just minutes. There were several injuries, homes destroyed around us and throughout our town, terrible destruction everywhere, and we survived. That was God answering prayers that were rapidly being said as we prayed for our lives. I can honestly say that pine straw can really stick in brick, dogs
