...Sea Turtles and The Gulf Oil Spill On Tuesday, April 20th, 2010 an event occurred that would change marine life forever. On that horrifying day BP’s deep horizon oilrig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded. The spill was considered the 4th major oil spill in the Gulf in over 50 years. The oil spill affected a lot of marine life, but mostly affected the sea turtles. The sea turtles in the Gulf were greatly affected by this catastrophic event in many ways. Sea turtles have lived in the Gulf for over hundreds of years, and one of the major things that were affected by the spill was their breeding. Around this time every year the female turtles head shore to lay their eggs. Since the oilrig exploded, there is a lot of oil in the ocean where the turtles are swimming, there is oil on the beaches where the turtles are laying the eggs, and there is oil where the new hatchlings are going to be swimming. This is not good for the turtles because the oil is going to cause harm and death in most of these newborn sea turtles. Another reason the sea turtles were affected was that their habitats were ruined. Five out of the seven species of sea turtles live in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf is home to a lot of sea life, including the turtles. Since the Gulf is covered in oil, the habitat that these turtles are living in, are not fit to live in. So now the turtles are confused and have nowhere to live. They need to relocate or they are going to die. The oil spill affected a lot of...

...promote healthy development. (Holt, Kingsley, & Tink, 2011). It has been been seen through out the years that the majority of jobs in the workforce are looking for people who both know how to lead and follow. When children grow up playing team sports they grow up with the understanding of the importance for teamwork. Commitments are a very important part of not only playing team sports, but also in anything that want to do as they get older. One of the biggest problems that can be seen by the children of today is that when things get tough they just quit. When children grow up with a thought process like this it only hurts them when they get older. I can remember a few years after I joined the Marine Corps I started to notice the change in the mentality of the younger Marines. One in particular comes to mind. I kid not even 18 yet came over to ask me a question about deploying to Iraq. I told how it was and that things would be fine because we are a team and everyone of us counts. He looked at me and said, “I don’t care if we are a team it’s going to be to hard to be away from my family and I would rather go home.” Then next day when we were in formation he was gone. It turned out that he did in fact go home. Finally, the best thing about playing team sports is the confidence that children get when they are a part of something. It especially builds confidence in disabled children. It was written That succeeding in athletics is a great way for young children to build confidence...

...hi For other uses, see Hello (disambiguation). "Hallo" redirects here. For other uses, see Hallo (disambiguation). Hello is a salutation or greeting in the English language. It is attested in writing as early as the 1860s.[1] Contents [hide] * 1 First use * 2 Etymology * 2.1 Telephone * 2.2 Hullo * 2.3 Hallo and hollo * 2.4 Cognates * 3 "Hello, World" computer program * 4 The Apple DOS HELLO program * 5 Perception of "Hello" in other nations * 6 See also * 7 References * 8 External links ------------------------------------------------- First use Hello, with that spelling, was used in publications as early as 1833. These include an 1833 American book called The Sketches and Eccentricities of Col. David Crockett, of West Tennessee,[2] which was reprinted that same year in The London Literary Gazette.[3] The word was extensively used in literature by the 1860s.[4] ------------------------------------------------- Etymology According to the Oxford English Dictionary, hello is an alteration of hallo, hollo,[5] which came from Old High German "halâ, holâ, emphatic imperative of halôn, holôn to fetch, used especially in hailing a ferryman."[6] It also connects the development of hello to the influence of an earlier form, holla, whose origin is in the French holà (roughly, 'whoa there!', from French là 'there').[7] As in addition to hello,halloo,[8] hallo, hollo, hullo and (rarely) hillo also exist as variants...

...opportunities for improvement based upon those exercises. Strengths Most of my strengths come from my service in the Marines. Furthermore, the concepts that were taught in classes were not just for study, but practical applications of those concepts in real world scenarios. These concepts were most important and driven to the extreme when I joined the Teams (Force Reconnaissance); so, as a result, my primary influence for being an effective leader was in Force Recon. The first strength that was assessed was my decisiveness in making quick and correct decisions in a crisis situation. Decisiveness, from the military definition, reflects a range of possible outcomes. From Exacerbated to Resolution; this is not to be confused with Achievement. In Achievement, the basic concept considers the performance on how someone would execute a strategy; basically, how someone performs in combat. These same characteristics found in decisiveness, can be transferred to business as well. This is one reason for my success in my current business. The second trait I possess is being an excellent communicator whether it is in the military or business. Communication is very important to me and my business; without it, none of the projects would ever be completed. The theory to effective communication is feedback; did my employees understand what I was trying to convey? Did my Marines here the orders and understand what needs to be done? This basic concept is vital to...

...Values Reflection CJA/474 Gary Vernon April 6, 2014 Values Reflection In today’s society one could easily question if society as a whole is losing its core values. I say this because, there seems to be more and more rape, murder, and crimes against another person than ever before and they continue to increase at a cyclic rate. It is unclear on why this is occurring, but I know for me I have set core values that I believe in, which have made me who I am today and I will strive to instill those same values into my children and my children’s children over time. What are values? How do we acquire and change values overtime? What values do for and to us? What is the importance of values in the work place? The above are the questions I will answer in the next few paragraphs of this reflection to better explain what my values are and what they mean. What are values? Values are simply those things in life that are important to us and guide us in the way we live our lives and how we work. My personal values are accountability, dependability, fairness, faith, integrity, team work, and hard work. While I will admit I am stronger in some of my values than others, but I always seek to improve to make myself a better husband, father, supervisor, and co-worker because I owe it to those around me to be the best I can be and turn out quality work. What do my values mean? Accountability to me is being responsible for my actions, the actions of my children, and the...

...02/04/2013 Dennis Golden Personal Responsibility When I was younger my mother would always tell me to be a responsible adult. I really did not understand her until I got older. One day my mother and I got into an argument and never really got along after that. So I moved out and moved in with my cousin. I was only 12 years old. I needed to learn how to be a responsible adult. I had no one to take care of me and I was on my own. So I had to learn how to grow up a lot quicker than other kids my age. When I got older I needed to figure out what I wanted to do after high school. So I joined the Marines. The Marines taught me different ways to be responsible. During my Marine Corps career I was taught different learning styles and how to be persistent to reach your goals. Without the corps I probably would have not done anything with my life. When I left the Marines I felt I needed to apply 3 key elements to be successful. These key elements are personal responsibility, learning style and persistency. What is Personal Responsibility? What is personal responsibility? To me personal responsibility is to be accountable for oneself and the people around you, in most any situation, there is no other person to hold accountable for your life than yourself. Everything we do is a direct reflection of your personality and the decisions you make. Kohlberg said, “Most theories of moral cognition focus on cognitive processes such as reasoning and judging”...

Dr. McCarthy took on the project of designing a prosthetic fin for Winter and at first she rejected the prosthetic twice. When all hope was gone Sawyer sat and talked to Winter and in her own way she told him the sleeve or sock that was on her tail was rubbing her. Sawyer told Dr. Clay and then Dr. McCarthy designed a new material that was softer and more comfortable. This material is actually being used now with prosthetics on humans with great success. 5.

Borromeo, John Philip T. Sumpay, Jonathan S. September 2015 Common Vices of Maritime Education Students in Mariners Polytechnic Colleges Foundation: A Criticism Introduction Teen agers worldwide especially students in colleges have higher rate of having a vices in their life. There is undoubtedly much truth in this view. Large colleges certainly have a large ratio of dissolute or, put it less harshly, wild-students than smaller institutions. But this can be truthfully said of their vices. They are more gentlemanly and less vulgar than those practiced in country colleges. College students are commonly in desire to have fun. With this, one of the most usual thing college students do to have fun is through engaging in vices usually with peers. They have more affection and respect for their Alma Mater-more esprit de corps-more urbane manners. Students however, are not a class subgenres. They are what their instincts and surroundings make them. In the Philippines, there are many Colleges and Universities who are fully functional and outstanding in the field of Education.

(Choi)In the Northern Atlantic and Pacific, they can grow up to 90 feet, but in the Antarctic, they can reach up to 110 feet, and weigh up to 330,000 pounds.

...In a fast paced world of growth and progress, there is no dearth of critical situations, contingencies and pressures of all sorts. Governments and non government organisations of all nations work towards offering various crisis management services to their citizens to improve their livelihood and wellbeing. A crisis can be defined as an emergency situation where normal day-to-day routine and / or businesses are interrupted. Therefore crisis management constitutes those processes and procedures which aim to reduce the effects or in certain cases, prevent the effects of crises to get uncontrollable and unmanageable. Singapore has a large spectrum of crisis management agencies, which specialise in certain services, available to the public. Each organisation / agency targets and deals with a specific domain. These include the following in no specific order, but are not limited to; the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF), the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), the Health Promotion Board (HPB), the Housing and Development Board (HDB), the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), the Singapore Police Force (SPF), the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA), community centres, hospitals and legal offices. The aforementioned are among the agencies and ministries which proactively take measures to reduce the impact of a crisis on the general public in times of distress.
