...Currently, Neomonachus Schauinslandi, commonly known as Hawaiian monk seals are the only pinnipeds living within proximity of the United States (Lowry et al., 2011). They are the only seals that are native to the Hawaiian Islands. Their only close relatives are Caribbean monk seals, which are extinct today, and the endangered Mediterranean monk seal (Lowry et al, 2011). With the Polynesian settlement, the society within the island grew, causing a change in the natural ecosystems that marine mammal, like Hawaiian monk seals, survive and thrive peacefully in. However, it later changed to fit societal needs and standards once humans discovered the Island. The Hawaiian monk seal population is declining at a rate of about four percent per year (Watson et al., 2011). It is estimated that about 14 million years ago, Hawaiian monk seals have inhabited the Hawaiian archipelago. This allowed them to adapt to the long-term geologic changes that the archipelago endured over time. Thus, they have been on the Hawaiian Islands long before humans have. Being the main inhabitants of the island, monk seals needed their habitat to be shallow water reefs that was made primarily for pupping, weaning, and foraging; areas of sandy beach for hauling out; and deep reef areas for foraging (Watson et al, 2011). However, in the inhabited Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI), monk seals would nearly always coincide with human populations and infrastructure. Thus, making it difficult for them to be independently confined...

...The Battle Of Midway by Hailey Nicole Allen The battle of Midway was an extremely important naval battle of World War II. The island was called Midway because it was half way between Japan and Hawaii. The battle started June 4th, 1942 and lasted 3 days until June 7th, 1942. Some of the key leaders and figures of the battle on the American side were Chester William Nimitz and Rear Admiral Frank J. Fletcher. Chester was the commander and chief of the US pacific fleet. He also was the man who managed to bring relief with defending forces to Midway. Frank Fletcher was the commander of task force 17 and senior tactical commander. He coordinated the attacks on Japanese carriers. Some key figures on the Japanese side were Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto and Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo. Yamamoto was the Commander and Chief of the Japanese imperial navy. He was the one who pulled the strings and executed the Pearl Harbor attack. Nagumo commanded the attacking carriers that struck at Midway. There were many advantages and disadvantages in the battle of Midway. For America, some advantages were that we acquired secret plans about Japan’s attack on America’s homeland, we had skilled seamen, and we didn’t fall for Japan’s bait, Aleutian Islands, and sent all militia to Midway. Some disadvantages were that we were up against a strong Japanese Navy, and that Japan had control over most of the Pacific. Japan, on the other hand, only had one major advantage: its strong Navy.....

...Connor Cohn 3/4/11 Curry, period 4 Final Aircraft Carriers in WWII Many of World War II’s greatest battles were fought at sea, making naval technologies crucial to all sides. Many kinds of ships, such as battleships, submarines, and aircraft carriers, had been used in previous wars, but the global nature of World War II made naval battles especially important. These vessels ranged from heavily armed warships to numerous support craft such as fuel ships and troop landing boats. Of all the ships used in the war, aircraft carriers were the largest. Thus, how and why were aircraft carriers so effective in World War II, specifically how was it more effective than a battleship, and how did both Japan and the US utilize this revolution in technology? An aircraft carrier is a ship whose primary purpose is to bring airplanes closer to distant battle areas. Since most World War II aircraft had a range of just a few hundred miles, it was necessary to bring the aircraft to the battlefront, and using a ship to do so made a lot of sense in the Pacific, where much of the fighting took place on islands and along coastal areas. The first true aircraft carriers were built by the Japanese in the 1920’s. Japan remained an innovator in aircraft carrier design and construction during the years leading to World War II, operating nine aircraft carriers by 1941. Their largest carriers of the war were the Akagi and Kaga, each capable of launching over 90 aircraft (doc. Navy), only 25% of these...

...December 7, 1941 started a year of losses that devastated the United States Navy to a point that there were serious considerations that the U.S. may lose the war. The point most researchers don’t seem to connect with the Super Power Global U.S. Navy of today was based upon forced changes in strategy, Technology and Leadership that was forced by the losses of 1941 to the Imperial Japanese Navy. In the first year of the war the Imperial Japanese Navy used Strategy, Technology and Leadership to overwhelm the U.S. Navy. If we reflect on the state of the U.S. Navy in 1939, we can get a better understanding of just how much effect Admiral Halsey had just 2 years later when he was placed into a historic leadership role. The U.S. Navy believed firmly that it was the technology leader in the Pacific in 1939. They had the biggest battleship fleet in the world, a huge arsenal of planes and Men in the strategic locations that would easily stop any aggression by Japan if they dared even to consider attacking any American interest. They also knew that they had some of the oldest and seasoned Admirals in the world. Ones who did not need to know about new technology as long as they could command the leviathans, the dreadnaught battleships, which had been the center of U.S. Naval strategy for over 60 years. However as the last of Admiral Nagumo’s airplane banked triumphantly away from the smoking ruins of the US Pacific Fleet, most in America at first believed that American had indeed lost the...

...Battle of Midway On December 7th, 1941, Isoroku Yamamoto and the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Immediately following “A date that will live in infamy”, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt declared a state of war and officially entered the United States of America into World War II. While the war officially lasted until September 2, 1945, the turning point of the United States war on Japan came three years prior. On June 4th, 1942, the US met Japan at the Battle of Midway, in a naval fight that would ultimately decide the fate of the South Pacific. In charge of their respective fleets, Isoroku Yamamoto (Japan) and Chester Nimitz (USA), each shared similar backgrounds. Both Yamamoto and Nimitz entered their respective countries’ naval academy at the age of seventeen. The men each rose prominently to positions of great control, realizing the growing importance of aircraft carrier warfare. At 44, Yamamoto became Japan’s youngest admiral. Armed with the task of creating a self-sustaining empire (the “New Empire”), Yamamoto decided to bomb Pearl Harbor and subsequently attack Midway in attempt to gain control over the Pacific. Prior to Yamamoto’s attack, the United States developed a secret weapon against the Japanese. The United States’ weapon, “Magic”, was a system that deciphered Japanese code. By the end of May 1942, Chester Nimitz knew exactly when and where the Japanese intended to strike. Nimitz realized he must locate Yamamoto’s carriers and attack them first...

...The Battle of Midway John Hays ENG/102 November 10, 2013 Dr. Lisa Tilley The Battle of Midway The Battle of Midway was fought over land and at sea near the small United States Pacific base of Midway Island; this sea and air battle “represents the high water mark of Japan's Pacific Ocean war.” (Naval History and Heritage Command, 2010, p.1) Thus, prior to this battle, Japan’s Navy possessed sea and air superiority over the United States and could choose when and where to attack. “After Midway the two opposing fleets were essentially equals, and the United States soon took the offensive.” (Naval History and Heritage Command, 2010, p.1) The Battle of Midway was a strategic point when the United States turned the tide of World War II in the Pacific because; the United States Navy stopped the Japanese advance and they put the Japanese Navy on the defensive. By March 1942, Japan’s Navy high command initial goals were achieved easier than what they had planed. Therefore, they had turned their sights into making an offensive war plan and not to transition into a “strategic defensive posture, but there were still disputes on how to maintain the offensive” (Hone, 2013, p.1). Most historians speculate, “Moving further south in the Pacific would isolate Australia, and possibly remove that nation as a threat to the freshly expanded Japanese Empire.” (Naval History and Heritage Command, 2010, p.1) Therefore, the June Midway Battle turned out to be the most damaging battle of the...

...Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is one greatest naval commanders of World War II to the Japanese people and is idolized as hero. His legacy span’s from service during the battle of Tsushima Strait to the battle of Midway. Not only was he a brilliant naval commander he was an innovator and saw that the air power is the future of naval warfare and saw to the better aircraft for the Japanese navy. His methods to attack were unique and his opinions were always valued by those around him. Although he saw America as an enemy he respected the power and industrial might the United States held compared to Japan. He was once asked by the Japanese Prime Minister if Japan stood a chance against America. He replied, “We can run wild for six months or a year, but after that I have no confidence.” (Joseph). Yamamoto was born April 4th, 1884 and was the sixth son to Sadayoshi Takano. His name means 56 only because his father was 56 at his date of birth. At the age of 16 he joined the Japanese Imperial Navy and was sent to Japanese Naval Academy at Etajima. He graduated in 1904 and was stationed around the cruiser Nisshin and the participated in the battle for Tsushima Strait. He lost two fingers on his left hand, but because of his potential leaderships skills was sent to Naval Staff College in 1913. In 1919, Yamamoto was sent to study in America. He studied English in Harvard and also studied into the strengths and weakness of the US. He graduated in 1923 and was knowledgeable...

... In 1944 the United States was playing a large part in World War Two. In November of 1944 the United States started to bomb Japan. The U.S. used their new B-29 bombers during the attacks. There was one thing that interfered most with the United States bombing over Japan. That was a small island between the Mariana Islands where the U.S. was flying from, and Japan where the United States was bombing. The island that was interfering with the United State's attacks was Iwo Jima. Iwo Jima was playing more than one part in making it harder for U.S. bombers to get to Japan. The battle of Iwo Jima was a very hard fought battle for both sides. One thing Iwo Jima did was launch fighter planes to attack American bombers. As the B-29 bombers were flying over Iwo Jima on their way to Japan from the Marianas, fighter planes would take off from Iwo Jima and attack the bombers. Fighting back wasn't the only advantage Iwo Jima had though. They could also communicate ahead. When the United States planes were flying over, they would communicate to Tokyo and tell them two hours before the planes got there. This was bad for U.S. bombers because they couldn't be effective. If Tokyo knew they were coming two hours ahead of time, they could be prepared. Since they were interfering with United States attacks on Japan, the U.S. wanted to take over Iwo Jima. There were some more reasons for the United States to want to attack Iwo Jima too. If the United States could control Iwo Jima it...

C. 1999 2 3 How to Use this Complex Course Частные уроки Английского Языка 387-1231 MIND Speaks to MIND – Selected American Essays 4 Preface Some years ago, a visitor to our office, a professor of English at a large foreign university, asked if the English Language Programs Division had published a book of American essays for foreign students – especially students at the advanced level. Having to respond in the negative, I was, nonetheless, “intrigued” by the idea of a collection of essays that would form a source of stimulating ideas or thoughts that could be thoroughly examined in the EFL classroom, discussed and debated in free conversation, and perhaps, ultimately, lead to a significant growth in the exchange of information between cultures – via the printed page. From this rationale, then, there issues an explanation for the title, Mind Speaks to Mind, which itself is an “exchange of information” between the editor and Edward Hoagland in his essay, “On Essays”! And, readers are encouraged to study this essay first as a type of guideline concerning the nature/purpose of the essay. It is found on page 26.

...Intro to Mass Comm. Dr. Tameka Winston December 3, 2012 I am a new student at new higher learning institution which has changed my whole view and outlook this past semester. I was a student in Dr. Tameka Winston’s class where I actually felt like I had a teacher who cared about the students. I enjoyed the debates and class discussions we had in class. Along with gaining new knowledge new in the field I was introduced in to the world of mass communications on a college level. I also really learned a lot from Dr. Winston in the aspect of being a person. I am truly thankful for the experience that I encountered as an undergraduate in Winston’s class. This semester I became more knowledgeable on some the origins of mass media, music and radio and television. In chapter 2 I was able to understand the origins of many forms of media and who was credited with creating these forms of media. Gaining information like the Chinese actually invented the first form of a printing press. This printing press ways not innovated until a about 400 years later by a german named Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenburg with his invention Gutenburg gave birth to modern media. Another avenue that was discussed was that the invention of photography and its development. The first of aspect of a camera was brought about in 300 B.C. by a mathematician named Euclid. Then around 1558 an early technique called camera obscura was introduced to the world and was widely renowned. As for music...

I think you will find that this medium is exactly what you need to demonstrate an interactive art time line on the website. European linear perspective art is amazing because of the use of light, shadows, placement, and lines which are used by the painter to tell a story for the viewer, this paintings are also known for drawing your eye to a focal point of a painting to help the story of the panting.
