Of the 50 crabs used in the study, 48 had two anemones each when first caught while the remaining two had just one. Karplus and others investigated how these aggressive crabs responded to other crabs of the same species in their vicinity, and whether their anemones were used as weapons in these encounters. His work remains the most comprehensive study of mutualism between crabs and sea anemones. In 1905, James Edwin Duerden made a study of the relationships between boxer crabs and their associated sea anemones, what species of anemone were selected, how they were acquired, how they were used and the feeding behavior of both anemones and crabs. One crab was observed in the process of pulling an anemone in half by holding it with both its chelae and then drawing them apart until the tissues parted. These went on to develop into normal individuals. In the research study mentioned below, two crabs that only had one anemone each when caught, and two others that each had one anemone removed, were all found to have a partial anemone in each claw during the course of the next few days. producta can undergo asexual reproduction by fission. The crabs often molt at night, and by the morning, although their shell is not yet fully hardened, they have already grasped hold of their anemones. The anemones are used defensively and also gather food particles with their tentacles which the crab scrapes off for its own use. The sea anemones it holds are grasped delicately with its chelae and are then held in place by several small spines. Lybia edmondsoni has relatively unarmoured chelae and is neither able to defend itself well nor feed itself efficiently as do other crabs. ![]() It is also found on sandy and gravelly flats, where it is well camouflaged, and on live corals where it clings with its long, slender legs. edmondsoni is found in shallow water, down to a depth of about 20 m (66 ft), and hides under rocks or among coral debris. tessellata, which is much more widespread in the tropical Indo-Pacific. Lybia edmondsoni is endemic to Hawaii but is very similar in its size and behavior to its sister species, L. Its alternative common name, "boxer crab", comes from its pugnacious response to threats. The common name "pom-pom crab" comes from its symbiotic practice of brandishing a stinging sea anemone (usually Triactis producta) in each claw to defend against predators and possibly to stun prey. ![]() On its favorite substrates, such as thin sand or rubble, the crab is almost invisible. ![]() The walking legs are banded in dark purple. The chelipeds are not heavily armoured as in most crab species but are fine and delicate, the propodal-carpal joint being very flexible, and there are several backward-pointing spines. It sports unusual polygonal patterns in pink, brown or yellow. edmondsoni can reach 0.5 inches (13 mm) in width. edmondsoni blending in with its surroundings. In ancient times, this animal was used by men claiming to be sorcerers. Its Hawaiian name is kūmimi pua, meaning "inedible flower crab". Like other members of the genus Lybia, it is commonly known as the pom-pom crab or boxer crab because of its habit of carrying a sea anemone around in each of its claws, these resembling pom-poms or boxing gloves. Lybia edmondsoni is a species of small crab in the family Xanthidae and is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.

![]() ![]() This whole arc is a ploy by the producers to give Kyuubi Naruto (and Asuma) more screen time. As a result, he is alienated by villagers and becomes another Gaara to Naruto. Sora's dad infused some excess Kyuubi chakra into him so he is a pseudo-Jinchuuriki (only interesting thing about him). Please save your time and do not watch these! I fell trap to about 1 season of this shit before I realized I'm basically watching nothing. This span of almost FOUR SEASONS are nothing but craps fillers!! It is a mix of pointless miniarcs and random shit like bug catching. Yes you read it right - 83 episodes of fillers.ĭO NOT WATCH THESE EPISODES!! =[[. Very underwhelming arc, don't watch it please. Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke find out their newest mission will be to protect Idate from attacks by the enemy clan, during a race. Thus, I will just list some reasons why I did NOT watch them haha and a short summary of them based on my limited knowledge. ![]() Unlike Bleach, I did not watch most of these Naruto filler arcs because they are so ridiculously stupid. The suggested advice would be to watch the last few minutes of last episode of filler arcs xP. Similarly, there are unimportant filler developments at the end of canon arcs. Skip these episodes and watch all canon material! Naruto will be a lot more enjoyable =P.īecause the producers transitions between canon plot and filler plot, there are some important developments at the end of filler arcs. Three Tails Bijou arc - episodes 91 - 112 Despite this, it is my goal to save watchers from non-canon material by listing the filler episodes that can skipped without missing any vital plot. Innocent non-manga-reading Naruto watchers are misled into thinking they are watching canon material because the producers try so hard to transition between actual plot and filler plots. Bleach had roughly 3 arcs/seasons of fillers, but Naruto unfortunately has a lot more. Naruto is even worse than Bleach for fillers. ![]() Using the world as the broadest context for learning, MYP Designs can develop meaningful exploration into the following areas.Īs a group choose one Global Context that best fits your group's project. Global contexts direct learning towards independent and shared inquiry into our common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet. Tip: Definitions of Key Concepts and some Related Concepts can be found in the " Terms & Definitions" page on this site Global interactions identity logic perspective choose at least two Related Concepts that can help support your projectĪesthetics change connections creativity culture form.choose one Key Concept that your project can be based on.As a group please discuss each of these concepts and do the following: Implementation of the MYP is a whole-school endeavour, although the programme can accommodate academically-selective. The MYP is inclusive by design students of all interests and academic abilities can benefit from their participation. Global context definition: The context of an idea or event is the general situation that relates to it, and which. There are four Key Concepts and twelve Related Concepts that can guide and inform your project. The MYP is open to any student aged 11 to 16, at schools that have been authorized to implement the programme. Concepts represent the vehicle for your inquiry into the issues and ideas of personal, local and global significance, and provides the means by which you can explore the essence of design. Requirements for the IB Diploma include a Creativity Action Service project of at least 150 hours.A concept is a “big idea”-a principle or notion that is enduring, the significance of which goes beyond particular origins, subject matter or place in time. IB global-mindedness first starts locally through serving the community, and service hours increase as students progress to high school. Both include a major reflection component. Students work collaboratively on projects, then branch out individually, notably in the 10th grade Personal Project and Diploma Programme Extended Essay. IB courses offer a lot of chances to apply the subject matter to one's own interests, and students must also weigh how what they've learned is significant and applies to the real world.įor example, in IB Math Applications and Interpretation, a student might use modeling to predict temperatures in a particular country at a specific time, and write about how scientists need to use this. Whether a full Diploma Programme candidate, taking individual IB courses or in the Career-related Programme, students develop college level writing and research abilities. Reporting on their inquiry during the unit has included writing summaries, visual art, research papers, oral presentations and more.Īsking challenging questions, pursuing critical thinking and honing communication skills becomes more advanced in IB courses in 11th and 12th grade. Students' inquiry is: My perspective on access to education is broadened through understanding power and privilege within a cultural context. An IB MYP key concept for this unit is Perspective, and the MYP Global Context is Fairness and Development. This big idea leads to examining topics including poverty and inequalities. As they read, "I Am Malala," students encountered the global issue of education, and how not all children have access to education. Blair 7th graders have read a first person account by someone their own age, Pakistani Taliban attack survivor, Malala Yousafzai. In MYP, units are organized around a global issue and a big idea. In the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the IB approach is embedded in the curriculum. Key concepts, such as logic, creativity, systems, identity and change are applied within global contexts.įor example, in 7th Grade English Language Arts, Blair students accomplish California state standards to analyze literature including themes and points of view, but go further. All strive to demonstrate the IB Learner Profile.Reflecting on the learning experience and process during and after.The goal is to grow personally and academically.Learning is linked to the world around us, including pursuing a second language.Learning experiences include hands-on engagement.Assessments are tied to the real world, with clear rubrics for evaluation.Connections are made among all subject areas. ![]() The student is the center of learning, taking responsibility to choose where and how to delve deeper.monitoring teaching and learning through global contexts (. ![]() Rather, IB emphasizes Inquiry, Action and Reflection. monitoring the effective integration of the key and related concepts within teaching and learning. The programme empowers students to inquire into a wide range of issues and ideas of significance locally, nationally and globally. When Blair graduates are asked what they gained from IB, a common answer is, "I learned how to learn." The IB approach is not about regurgitation of facts. The MYP aims to develop active learners and internationally minded young people who can empathize with others and pursue lives of purpose and meaning. ![]() For my team, i will put up with Matt Boldy/Marco Rossi trying(and failing) to make a spinorama blind pass.Jake Middleton, not so much. In general, I want my potentially special offensive players to be pushing the envelope a bit, especially when they are young. Meet Adam Lynn and Zach Ruben, founders and creators.

Tage Thompson looked like a big, dorky giveaway machine until the past two years. are they worth it, despite their turnovers? Guy Lafleur sure was. The festival will be held at Historic Crew. Part of what makes those players successful is that they will attempt things that other players will not, which makes them difficult to defend. COLUMBUS, Ohio Organizers for the Breakaway Music Festival have announced the lineup for this summer and are adding a third day dedicated to hip-hop. Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national organization for theatre, has announced the recipients of the first and second rounds of the 2022-23 Edgerton.

The creativity can cause turnovers that cause a coach to pull his hair out. In the event of rain and non-severe weather, the festival will continue as planned. ![]() That's what you get with skilled players. ![]() Melatonin is actually a hormone that your body produces naturally. “So, when we block something that alerts us, it makes us drowsy.”īut there are some unpleasant side effects from using antihistamines on the reg, including headaches, drowsiness, blurred vision, and constipation, so it’s best to save these for rare occasions. “Histamine is an alerting neurotransmitter, in fact, it's probably the most alerting neurotransmitter in the body,” says Dr. Antihistamines work by blocking the action of histamine. These can be diphenhydramine (think Benadryl) or doxylamine succinate (the main ingredient found in NyQuil), Natalie Williams, MD, a family medicine physician at Austin Regional Clinic in Austin, Texas, says. But if you struggle sporadically due to a reason you can identify, below are some options to consider. If you have trouble sleeping regularly and it’s not due to a reason you can pinpoint (like a short-term stressful event, for example), get help by talking to a medical pro.

In short, if there’s a short-term event that makes sleep hard to come by, like traveling across time zones, doing shift work that requires you to work odd hours, or, say, dealing with noisy neighbors having a party, you could consider a sedating antihistamine or melatonin, says W. ![]() It’s the latter category that experts recommend as a go-to “sleep aid,” but there are a few instances when it makes sense to try either of the former two options. So, if you’re having trouble dozing off one night, you might be tempted to reach for an over-the-counter (OTC) sleep aid lest you miss out on all those benefits.īut first! Know that there are essentially a few different types of OTC sleep aids: sedating antihistamines, melatonin, and certain herbal teas. By this point in your life, you know the importance of good sleep. ![]() ![]() The music was so powerful, in fact, and so integrated with the screenplay that it helped gloss over the incredibility of the film's premise, which, as you might recall, had Meg Ryan falling in love with Tom Hanks, a stranger she had never met, merely from hearing him being interviewed on a radio talk show on Christmas Eve. Indeed, the film re-introduced a whole new generation to the unique charms of Jimmy Durante with his renditions of 'As Time Goes By' and 'Make Someone Happy' over the opening and closing credits, respectively, resulting in a boomlet of enthusiasm for the work of the ol' Schnozzola. With artists old (Louis Armstrong, Nat 'King' Cole, Gene Autry), new (Céline Dion, Harry Connick, Jr.) and somewhere in between (Carly Simon, Joe Cocker, Tammy Wynette), the movie's array of songs (many chosen by Ephron herself) appealed to hearts of every vintage and tastes of every stripe, and the tunes themselves represented the best that the Brill Building and Nashville had to offer. ✨ Many thanks for your support of this new community.One of the great trio of romantic comedies starring Meg Ryan that were written and/or directed by the late Nora Ephron (When Harry Met Sally and You've Got Mail being the other two), 1993"s Sleepless in Seattle was arguably the most romantic movie of it's generation, and it's soundtrack was a big reason why.

From a football standpoint, the 20-team league could have four five-team pods. Plus, in this case, six could be better than four for reasons I’ll explain shortly. (Former Big Ten member University of Chicago is no longer a member of the consortium but remains a collaborator.) That group couldn’t possibly pass up a chance to ask Cal and Stanford to join. But then I also thought about the Big Ten Academic Alliance, the academic consortium of Big Ten schools. USC, Oregon and Washington are the best football programs, and UCLA is a national brand situated in America’s second-largest city. ![]() These are all AAU members, so they would get the academic stamp of approval from the other Big Ten presidents. Originally, I was going to suggest the Big Ten take USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington. But now that the SEC appears ready to chomp down on the Big 12, it’s time to pitch the Big Ten on an opportunity to make sure that the Power 5 shrinks to a Power 2 instead of a Power 1. That might have created a league attractive enough to convince Oklahoma and Texas to stay. One of my reasons was that it would allow the Big 12 to win in an eat-or-be-eaten situation. ![]() I realize that I’m the one who wrote last year that the Big 12 needed to take half the Pac-12. The best move for the Big Ten - and for the idea of college football as a national proposition - is for the Big Ten to take half the Pac-12. The Big Ten and Pac-12 have been partners in the Rose Bowl for decades, but now is time for drastic action. It also wouldn’t be much stronger than the current Big Ten lineup and might cost individual Big Ten members money in the long run because even though Iowa State has been excellent recently, it isn’t a brand that stirs the blood nationally.īut to do it, he’d have to be ruthless to an old friend of his league. The league would get to 16, matching the number of programs in the new SEC. Iowa State is already in the Big Ten footprint, and Kansas shares a 300-plus mile border with a Big Ten state (Nebraska). Both Big 12 members belong to the academically prestigious Association of American Universities. If Warren is the type of person who thinks this process has rules, then he might be weighing whether to consider adding Kansas and Iowa State. 4 loses its two most valuable members this week, is being thrust into a position that would make even a veteran conference commissioner tremble. Kliavkoff, as the leader of the Power 5 conference that is No. Warren, as the leader of the only league that can still compete with the new SEC on the balance sheet, has a major opportunity if he wishes. If the SEC doesn’t want to stop at 16 members, the Super League could go from something we half-joked about when a bunch of professional soccer clubs tried to create one to a very real possibility. Just when I thought my first month on the job could not get more interesting…īoth commissioners now face uncharted territory as Oklahoma and Texas prepare to begin a series of moves that should land them in the SEC. Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff came to the Pac-12 from MGM Resorts this month, and his limited sample size so far only tells us that he definitely brought his sense of humor with him. Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren came from the NFL last year to replace Jim Delany, who had turned the conference into the nation’s wealthiest. We’re about to find out where the new guys fit into these groups. The second group usually wins, and the first group usually seems surprised when it loses. This round of realignment - just like all the rest - will be a competition between the people who believe there are rules to this sort of thing and the people who are limited only by the boundaries of their imaginations. ![]() Whether you prefer a straightforward and traditional experience or something more complex, our free and simple classic Spades game will keep you hooked for hours.
