In this experiment, we observed the relationship between the number of domatia, the number of mites and the size of leaves of water oaks (Quercus nigra L.) and sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Domatia are small chambers often located on the lower surface of leaves that serve as homes for predaceous mites. In return, the mites protect the plant from herbivory and pathogen attack. This type of interaction between plants and mites is a form of mutualism, more specifically facultative mutualism.

In 1934, after Prohibition ended, my Mom’s family opened a bourbon distillery called Heaven Hill. Five brothers, one of whom was my great-grandfather Gary, created this flourishing company in Bardstown, Kentucky. They started just making and selling bourbon, but today, it is a successful business that has grown into a worldwide company selling many kinds of adult beverages. Although my great-grandfather and his brothers no longer operate the distillery, it is still a family business that is run

tree we sampled for this experiment was a type of oak tree. In general most oaks tree pH levels should be between 3.6 and 7.0. These trees are normally best where the summers are dry and the winters are wet. As there are a wide variety of oak trees, different oak trees adapt to many different range of temperatures. Though most oak trees range from a temperature from around 45 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. We tested the pH levels of the soil where our oak tree was growing. The soil had a pH level of 6

When people are not aware of where their energy comes from, it threatens their values and ideals. Aldo Leopold discusses these dangers in his essay, Good Oak, suggesting solutions to prevent them and improve the environment in the process. Energy powers many of the things key to life.

Good Bye? “There we laid her to rest in a dark oak coffin in her final spot.” My Dad told me as I snuggled up in my fluffy pillows, trying to sleep, until I remembered… The dark oak coffin just like the wood of my bed frame. Being 13 years old never helped either, watching the coffin being lowered down into the grave and being covered with dirt was like being shot in the stomach. I will never forget that. Dad said, “We laid purple lilies, her favorite flowers, by her grave as we said our last

I would not recommend building a Walmart in Thousand Oaks. Thousand Oaks was ranked the 4th safest city in the US by the FBI in 2013. Walmart is known for attracting the wrong crowd, which usually comes in tow with the escalation of crime rates. Risking the reputation of a safe city for low prices just doesn’t seem worth it. People who choose to live in wealthy places sacrifice high prices for safety and peace of mind. They have the money to pay for overpriced produce. High prices mostly drive

A Very Short Story Ernest Hemingway is considered one of the most significant fiction writers of the 20th century. He is famous for his specific style of writing, the so called iceberg theory, which is clearly seen in his short stories and novels. Undoubtedly the unique thing that makes his short stories so special is the fact that after you read them you get the main idea but there are many things that remain unspoken or have a deeper meaning. You have to reread the text and use your imagination

Though Fred Wilson specializes in creating works of art that represent his perception of American history and American society as a whole, Wilson’s Drip Drop Plop came into creation as a representation, primarily, of Americas repetitive racial history against African Americans.
