Invasive Species-“An exotic animal that have disrupted another ecosystem that is not of their own.”
The main topic of this service learning hours project is the Dutch Elm Disease which is scientifically named Ophiostoma novo-ulmi, is a tree disease that is originally from Asia, and is classified as a sac fungi, the fungi get into the tree and poison the tree. In this service learning hour project you will learn how the Dutch Elm Disease (DED) destroys environments, how it came to America, how and who spread it, the trees that were affected, the effects of the disease, and how to cure this disease.
(DED) was brought into the states around the early 1900s as Christine Johanna Buisman, first identified Dutch elm disease in Ohio in 1930 as they brought the log from france to start the epidemic. The disease spread up and down the U.S. East Coast and west across the continent, reaching the west coast in 1973. Over the spend of time the disease killed 40 million trees in America, according to an article on a site call “Maine invasion”. The reason why Chicago is worried is because we are in the region with most of America besides the more drier parts of the country, are having very bad problems with the Dutch Elm Disease and two third of southern Illinois already has the epidemic.
(DED) is spread around by an Elm Bark Beetle and European bark beetle. This beetles carry around (DED) because they spray the disease into the tree as poison and breed inside of the tree but (DED) kills tree then, The beetle is a small beetle with a hard shell reddish around 3-5mm, which is similar to other beetles that are invasive. http://www.dutchelmdisease.ca/history/ The Dutch elm disease can be controlled in the sense that its destruction can be stopped...

The film Some Like It Hot at first seemed like a risky film due to its sense of humor and the many innuendos that it makes. However, this film quickly gained popularity due to all of the elements of a farce that are present throughout the film. Some of the elements of a farce that are applied to Some Like It Hot include disguise, humor and innuendo, a fast paced plot, and broadly stylized performances. Some Like It Hot seems to revolve around disguise due to the fact that two of the main characters
Some like it hot is a film which set in 1929 and released in 1959, two different time periods and both periods are responding to each other. “The movies ranged from crime thrillers to “message movies” which focused on societal issues” (Lindop 100) Thus, the movies in the 1950s shows plenty of social taboos. Some Like It Hot is one of the films which mentioned sexual innuendos and homosexuality, the serious social taboos in many years. For example, Joe and Jerry pretend as girls and Osgood fall in
Seung Kwan (Daniel) Min Film Studies Dr. Venell Some Like It Hot The first impression of the title, Some Like It Hot, directed by Billy Wilder, led me to think of it as an erotic pornography. However, this classic film turns out to be more than 50 years old and the era’s sexy symbol Marilyn Monroe star in the film as one of the main characters. The film, Some Like It Hot, was made in 1959, way before I was born; therefore I expected it to be rather old-fashioned, watching it in the 21st century.

The Contradictory Spectatorial Address of Some Like It Hot A film of the fifties, Some Like It Hot (Billy Wilder, USA, 1959) provides insight into the state of the film industry, recently wracked by legislation and censorship, the implementation of pre-existing technology in part to combat the new limitations, the importance of the star system, and the two-sided response to the social norms, both contradicting and reinforcing the status quo. Billy Wilder seemingly celebrates disregard for moral values
Stage 3 I suddenly felt the urge to get out of the bus. Now. I jolt myself up, walking towards the front of the bus. I rush down the steps, and step onto concrete. Concrete. I turn my head to look back at the bus, which is no longer there. Instead, was a concrete wall. I turn a 360, examining the room, which I then discovered was a jail cell. Great. I walk towards the bars, gripping them, trying to see if what lays beyond them. More cells, and even a stair case which leads upstairs. Which probably
went back to my uncle’s house and I took a nap and when I woke up all my family was over eating the deer. The time the Cardinals won the World Series The Cardinals were down in the sixth and David Frees blasted a homerun, to tie it up. Then some innings later some other guy on the Cardinals blasted a homerun, to give the Cardinals the lead. When it finally got to the ninth inning a guy on the Rangers hit a pop fly and one of our guys was there to catch it, that was the World Series. There was confetti
Although, (subordinating) there were other iconic people during the Twentieth century Marilyn Monroe is arguably one of the most famous women of that time because she changed many people’s lives. While doing some research on (subordinating) her I’ve come to realize that she did change many people’s lives. Marilyn wasn’t afraid to be herself and (coordinating) be who she really was. She showed women that they didn’t have to be afraid to be who they were and taught them that they were beautiful no
activities, the friendship was still there but we lacked time management. The end of my sophomore year, I was put in a very difficult situation; I was going through my first break-up and I honestly did not know how to handle it. Lucky for me, I had some amazing friends in my life to help me and guide me through it step by step. One of the few people that were there for me was Encar. The girl I once spent an entire day and night explaining to her how it gets better and that it’s not the end of the
are either invented or discovered. Invention and discovery formulate the different areas of knowledge. Discovered areas of knowledge include science, history and mathematics. Invented area of knowledge is the arts. Discovery proves the existence of some areas of knowledge. Discovery refers to unearthing and reasoning something. To discover means; “gain sight or knowledge previously unseen” This therefore explains why it tends to be unseen then therefore it’s revealed. It includes a process of unraveling
to numerous slave narratives that contain first-hand memories of what the culture of this country used to be like if they want to gain understanding about their heritage. The slave narratives of Mary Reynolds and Walter Calloway illustrate that some slave masters provided their slaves with the necessities of life, did not stand for slave cruelty, and were concerned for their slaves' spiritual well-being, while others did the complete opposite. Mary Reynolds, who spent the first part of her
The basis of success in the music industry goes beyond the ability to make great music. Most people don’t wake up one day and say, “I think I’m going to be a successful musician today”. Those who have this seemingly random awakening experience still spend years getting to a stage of musical understanding and talent prior to launching their musical career. Even with years of formal or informal training and/or practice, talent is still not enough to be successful in the music industry. In fact, non-musicians
The Ride Home When I stepped out from under the dim lighted patio, I had only two things on my mind: Clay Matthews and a ride home. I wish I possessed all his striking qualities. Big muscles, long hair, with that ever lasting look of determination and resilience glued to his face, but hey, my looks aren’t so bad. At school I am considered big, tough, smart, and very similar to Clay Matthews. I have blue eyes, broad shoulders, and hair long on the top but shaved on both sides. I find it not too
When being asked which Civil Rights activist of the movement was most effective, the answer is quite obvious. This movement originated due to what is called “Jim Crow” laws. These laws suggested that everyone is separate but equal. Otherwise became blindingly apparent when African Americans were subdued by whites in various ways. For example, the justice system always considered the case of white man over a black one. Also, an African American facility was certainly not comparable to the superior
