Detailed Trip Report: First Part
7:45 a.m. We departed from Campus.
We drove north on Highway 101. As we continued north through the Highway, we passed through Yachats, a town that is approximately 75 miles. Just on the left past the Adobe Motel was the turn-off to Smelt Sands Beach which was our first stop. ( that’s all copied)
Stop 1: Smelt Sands Beach.
Smooth and brown rocks are molded together by wet beach sand. The sand is, however, coarse with contents including, quartz, basalt, shell pieces, serpentine and agates. The rock forming the base rock formation is present in the sand signifying the rock is broken down by erosion.
Different rocks are also exposed and are believed to be from the Cenozoic Era. They are featured as part of the Yachats Basalt and are Late Eocene (36-40 million years) in age. These rocks were formed as a result of the cooling of magma from a series of eruptions ( this is all copied from that cheater essay.. not hard to tell see I told you… KEEP This I will alter (Alt and Hyndman 1978).
There is the existence of a Pleistocene terrace where the town of Yachats is built. The terrace was probably formed when the sea level was lower, and its deposit is 10,000 to 1.8 million years old. It cuts into the Yachats basalt sequence (Snavely, 1980). Its present level, which is above, the present sea level, is attributed to either the rise of land due to tectonic activity or dropping of the sea level. It is, however, difficult to know where the uplift of the land is possible in such an active coastline. The Smelt Sands Beach is located to the South of the start of Yaquina formation. A basalt flow is found at this spot. It lies beneath the Pleistocene terrace. This basalt is about 40 million years old. The Pleistocene, on the other hand, is about 1.8 years old. What happened between the formation of the basalt and the Pleistocene is not known yet. However, some researchers speculate that land movement could have occurred which led to dropping of the sea level or rising of the land. The whole town of Yachats has been built on this beach terrace.
Information about the town of Yachats indicates that much is of it occurs in a zone that prone to tsunami if another Cascadia subduction occurs. The part of the town, which is not, in the tsunami zone is found on the hillside. However, this part also risks destruction from the tsunami-causing earthquake. Studies carried out by researchers indicate 50m of beach would retreat in this region should a cascadia subduction occur (Snavely, 1980). This means that the biggest part of the Yachats town would be destroyed considering that most of the premises in the town, which include shops, hotels and residential houses are within a distance of 50m from the water. Plants found in this region include bog anemones and gold-eyed grasses..
This study examines Virginia Lake in Reno, NV and its surrounding environment. The report focuses on the lake's formation during the Great Depression, the evolution of plant and animal life around the lake, and different types of geological formations found in the area. Samples were taken of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks near the lake. However, the study did not find any evidence of unconformities or examples of Steno's Law of Superposition due to the lake's recent construction.
The Lake Tahoe Basin was formed 2-3 million years ago by geological faulting that uplifted the Carson Range and Sierra Nevada mountains on either side and dropped the land between them to form the basin. Faults beneath the lake are potential earthquake risks. The area was under a shallow sea 400 million years ago, and over 130 million years sedimentary rocks like mudstone, sandstone and limestone formed and were uplifted, forming metamorphic rocks. Today the basin contains forests and meadows home to birds, chipmunks and wildflowers. Glacial features like moraines formed lakes such as Fallen Leaf Lake.
The document summarizes field assignments completed by Robert Garcia for a geology course on the Bay Area and San Jose. Garcia visited Almaden Quicksilver County Park and Alum Rock Park to observe local geology. At Almaden, he saw cinnabar ore deposits from former mercury mines and learned about the area's mining history. He also observed granodiorite, basalt, and Coast Range fence lizards. At Alum Rock Park, he saw more granodiorite and California poppies, and saw tadpoles in a stream. The document discusses the geological formation of the Bay Area and evolution of local plant and animal species over time.
The document summarizes evidence of geological history found in the Lake Tahoe Basin, including accretion, magmatic intrusions, uplift and extensional tectonics, volcanism, glacial scouring, and fauna. Photos provide examples of accretionary rocks like chert and schist, intrusive rocks like granodiorite and andesite, glacial features like cirques and striations, and present-day animals like beavers and chickarees. The basin has undergone a long evolutionary history shaped by accretion, subduction, uplift, volcanism, glaciation, and more recently the reintroduction of beavers and the impacts of industrial pollution.
Lake Berryessa is located in Napa County, California and was formed by sediment deposition from the erosion of volcanic rocks. The sedimentary layers at Lake Berryessa are estimated to be 13 km thick and represent 80 million years of erosion. The mountain ranges surrounding the lake formed 150-130 million years ago. Great Egrets and Blue Oak trees are commonly seen in the area and have adapted over millions of years to the local environment. Sedimentary rocks like limestone and conglomerate can be seen around the lake and provide evidence of the geological history through principles of relative dating.
Taylor Creek is a 2.2 mile stream originating from Fallen Leaf Lake and flowing into Lake Tahoe. It was formed by glacial activity millions of years ago and has evolved over time. The creek flows through diverse geology of granite and sedimentary rocks and supports a variety of flora like Jeffrey pine trees and fauna such as beaver, salmon, and crayfish. Taylor Creek forms a crucial wetland habitat and ecosystem, with connections to the surrounding forest, meadows, and Lake Tahoe.
The document provides information about the geology of the Flin Flon area in Manitoba, Canada. It discusses the regional history and lithology of the Flin Flon greenstone belt and broader Trans-Hudson Orogen. Specifically, it focuses on map area 4 from a University of Saskatchewan field school in Flin Flon. It describes a rock sample from the area as a greenschist facies mafic metavolcanic rock that displays a porphyritic texture and subtle foliation from deformation.
Sofia Caradonna discusses the geology and animals near San Luis Obispo, California. San Luis Obispo county features volcanic plugs like Morro Rock that were formed over 20 million years ago. It is also home to the Nine Sisters volcanic peaks. Local animals discussed include wild turkeys that evolved over 100 million years ago, rattlesnakes whose earliest fossils are 12-14 million years old, and various rocks formed from igneous and sedimentary processes over millions of years. Sedimentary layers exhibit Steno's Law of Superposition and angular unconformities provide evidence of geological change over time in the area.

Plate Tectonics is the driving force of geologic structures th.docxrandymartin91030
Plate Tectonics is the driving force of geologic structures that shape the world that we live in. The
first indication that continents might have been linked physically took place as soon as there was
mapping. It was known by the sixteenth and seventeenth century that the continents fitted together like
pieces of a puzzle. This and other proofs listed below lead to the concept of continental drift, that the
large continents had once been linked together. The scale movements of continents across the across
the surface of the planet was mind boggling.
By the close of the nineteenth century the geologist Edward Suess postulated that the southern
continents were joined together. This was from evidence seen by fossil animal distribution. Ancient life
forms have ranges just as modern animals. Tigers are found in India and Siberia, not in North America.
These ancient animals couldn’t get from South America to Africa, from Antarctica to Australia to India.
There were rock layers both sedimentary and igneous that were continuous on all of the five continents.
He christened this large continent Gondwanaland.
In 1915 Alfred Wegener wrote a book on continental drift. He proposed another super continent
called Pangaea. This continent included all of the modern continents. His mechanism for the movement
of the continents was that the continents moved through ocean crust, drifting until they joined then
breaking apart again. Wegener and others argued for their evidence pointing out rock similarities
type, similarities in rock trends and ages using all of the information gathered from Steno's laws and
fossil assemblages. They also showed that certain distant continents had similar plants and animals that
entered a different evolutionary path after the continents separated. An example of this is the fresh
water fish the Arowana found in both South America and Australia. Another example of this is the large
amount of marsupial
fossils found in South
America and Australia.
Placental mammals

mammalian life forms
in Eurasia, North
America and Africa.
Only in South America
and Australia were
marsupial fossils
dominated. It wasn't
until 3 million years ago
North and South
America joined
allowing placental
mammals to gain
dominance in South America. Despite this evidence Wegener and his followers mechanism for
continental movement was badly flawed. They proposed that the tidal forces from the Sun and Moon
like the tides in the ocean. This force is much too weak to move a continent so the theory was rejected.
Fossil plants and animal distribution on southern continents
In 1928 a geologist Arthur Holmes proposed the convection currents split the continents and that
these currents were in the mantel. Remember the knowledge of a mantel was already known at this
time. Ironically this was a mechanism had been proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1782. Many

The document discusses several types of rocks and geological concepts:
- Blueschist, a metamorphic rock formed under high pressure and relatively cool temperatures in subduction zones.
- Igneous rocks such as granite and gabbro found in San Luis Obispo, formed from intrusive and extrusive processes. Extrusive scoria is also mentioned.
- Sandstone, a sedimentary rock found in Poly Canyon consisting of cemented quartz and sand.
- The San Andreas Fault as an example of a transform fault still actively moving plates.
- Examples of mechanical and chemical weathering processes.
- Evidence of mass wasting and erosion seen in Yosemite National Park streams and waterfalls.
The document discusses plate tectonics and how it explains biogeographic patterns and geological phenomena. It describes how Philip Sclater observed that the flora and fauna differed between the eastern and western Indonesian islands over a distance of just 15 km (Wallace Line). Alfred Wegener later proposed continental drift to explain similarities between separated landmasses. The theory of plate tectonics was developed, explaining how convection currents in the mantle cause rigid tectonic plates to move and interact at boundaries.
The document summarizes the geologic features and history observed in Big Bend National Park based on field mapping. During the Cretaceous period, limestone formations like the Santa Elena were deposited in the region as sea levels rose and fell. These formations were later folded and faulted during the Laramide Orogeny as the Farallon plate collided with North America. Normal faults and igneous intrusions were also observed that provided insight into the tectonic activity after deposition and folding of the layers. Analysis of the rock units, fossils, and structural features helps reconstruct the geologic changes in the area over the past 100 million years.
Lake Tahoe is over 2 million years old and is one of the oldest and purest large lakes in the world. It is located in the Sierra Nevada mountains and has a maximum depth of 1,645 feet. The bristlecone pine is a long-living tree species found in arid western North America, with the oldest known tree being nearly 5,000 years old. Gymnosperms were a dominant plant group in the past but today are most common in cold environments like boreal forests. Wild horses are thought to have migrated from North America to Eurasia, evolving over millions of years from a small forest-dwelling animal into modern equines.
This document provides a guide to the geology of Central Park in New York City. It is divided into three sections. Section one describes the building stones used in park structures. Section two examines bedrock outcroppings, showing evidence of NYC's tectonic history over billions of years. Section three inspects evidence left behind by glaciers, including striations and erratic boulders deposited during the last ice age. Stops around the park are detailed, identifying rock types and geological features formed by metamorphism, intrusions, erosion and glaciation.
The Sierra Nevada Mountains formed nearly 40 million years ago during the Eocene period. The mountains are composed of granite rocks that formed during the Mesozoic Era from repeated volcanic eruptions. During the Miocene Epoch less than 20 million years ago, the area began stretching in an east-west direction, forming valleys and mountain ranges. Today the Sierra Nevada is popular for hiking, biking, skiing, and snowboarding. Bald eagles evolved from reptiles in the Mesozoic period 66-144 million years ago. Ground squirrels are burrowing rodents that diverged into major branches around 36 million years ago. The document describes various igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks found in the Sierra Nevada

The document examines various rock types found in the Sierra Nevada including granite, gneiss, silt
The document provides a summary of the geology tour given by Mike Stoever of the Washington D.C. area. It discusses the major geological processes that led to the formation of the area, including plate tectonics, erosion and deposition, a meteorite impact, and sea level changes. It then describes the four main geological provinces that make up the D.C. area, and highlights several important geological features, such as the Fall Line, Teddy Roosevelt Island, and Great Falls Park.
Yosemite National Park is located in California and covers 1,190 square miles. It was established in 1890 and contains many unique granite rock formations that were created by glaciers during the last Ice Age. Some of the most notable formations include Half Dome, El Capitan, and Cathedral Rocks. The park also features many lakes, meadows, waterfalls like Yosemite Falls, and diverse plant and animal wildlife across different habitat zones. Granite is the dominant rock type in the park and was formed deep underground from slowly cooling magma. Over time, erosion sculpted the granite into the stunning landscapes seen today.
The document summarizes key topics about the ocean floor covered in Chapter 14, including the different regions of the ocean floor and features found in each region. It discusses features such as mid-ocean ridges, trenches, seamounts, guyots, continental shelves, slopes, and rises. It also covers types of seafloor sediments and resources that can be obtained from the seafloor like oil, natural gas, and minerals.
1. In 1912, Alfred Wegener proposed the continental drift theory which hypothesized that around 200 million years ago, all the continents were joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea which later broke apart.
2. Evidence from fossils of the same plants and animals found across continents now separated by oceans, matching rock formations, and coal deposits provided support for continental drift.
3. In the 1960s, the theory of seafloor spreading was developed which helped explain continental drift as new ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and pushed continents apart.
This document summarizes geology fieldwork assignments on different rock types found in Sequoia National Park. It describes sedimentary rocks found near a waterfall that were sparkling and speckled. Metamorphic rocks located in a river appeared smooth and colorful from water exposure. Igneous rocks discovered by a waterfall included a rock that split open to reveal an orange interior. The document also provides brief histories of Sequoia National Park and the geological formation of the Sierra Nevada mountain range over 10 million years.

In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler or to the Nazis. Many Democrats compared Trump to a "fascist," and Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously compared child detention facilities to "concentration camps." (Republicans claimed this was an unfair comparison and disrespectful to the real victims of the Holocaust.) On the other hand, Republicans often claim that their Democratic enemies are like Hitler, and often whine that "the Left" is persecuting them similar to how the Nazis persecuted the Jews ("cancel culture" is like the Holocaust, wearing a mask is like wearing a yellow star, etc.). Obviously these are exaggerated, bad comparisons, and are more about scoring political points than teaching history accurately.
But is it
always
wrong and disrespectful to draw comparisons or lessons from the Holocaust? Isn't it possible--while being respectful and acknowledging all the differences that make the Holocaust uniquely horrible--to try to draw lessons from it and prevent anything like it in the future? What comparisons or lessons for the present, if any, can we learn from the Holocaust?
Using specific evidence/examples/comparisons from the primary source you analyzed, please make a specific argument about a lesson or comparison
you might draw from the Holocaust. I'm not interested in your general/vague opinions about politics or Holocaust comparisons. I want you to carefully and respectfully (not politically) draw a lesson from something you learned in your document/film.

American opinion has indeed shaped politic consequences, political interests, and policymaking. Even with little or no interest in policymaking and politics, the assumption of democracy gives the citizens the power to freely air out their issues and give their opinion in matters of political concern. Taking the war in Iraq, it posed a significant economic and political imbalance. However, support from the politicians was negligible. And because a majority of the Americans opposed the war in Iran, they voted for a Democratic congressional candidate. Their opinion played a great deal in making concrete policies in response to the war in Iraq.
Public opinion is a reflection of the citizens’ view on how the government responds to national politics. Political actions are driven by the citizen’s opinion (Erikson, & Tedin, 2015). It sheds light on the outcomes of specific policies and helps the political candidates identify the characters demanded of them by the citizens. Political scholars argued that the perception of old public opinions was changed because of ambiguity and inaccuracy (Dür, 2019). Modern theories came to identify public opinion as either latent or a broad expression. Latent opinions are formed on the spot, while broad expressions are opinions that had earlier been formed and remained stable (Cantril, 2015).
When convincing policymakers, it proves difficult, interest groups may indirectly influence public opinion. They can achieve this through the media, holding rallies, or handing out leaflets to the public (Dür, 2019). Because the citizens have little or no information on policymaking, they can easily be swayed by interest groups. Interest groups can, therefore, successfully source their support from public opinion or not.
Public opinion remains relevant in American politics. Journalists, politicians, and political scientists should focus on getting the public’s opinion on state affairs. In as much as views might differ or change, establishing a common ground will help in policymaking (Dür, 2019). For the war in Iraq, the Democratic gained power over the senate and House. This was greatly influenced by the failure of public support that shifted the pro-Democratic in 2006 and the 2008 elections. Because opinions are not fixed, establishing a connection between public views and political outcomes might be impossible.

In addition to reading the
Announcements
, prepare for this discussion by reading the
Required Resources
, the
Week Four Instructor Guidance
, and the scenario provided below. In particular, you should review the
Initial Referral to the Multidisciplinary Team form
found on p. 112-113 of your text, the
Child Study Team Referral Form
from week three, and
Part I
of the
Comprehensive Report
found in the
Instructor Guidance
for this week.
Scenario:
In addition to your role on the Child Study Team, you are also a member of the Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MDT). This team is preparing to meet because while the Tier Two Interventions have been helpful, Manuel is still struggling with his reading fluency and his writing, and is continuing to fall further behind. The MDT has received the signed and dated formal permission for referral from Manuel's parents and the school psychologist has conducted an academic achievement evaluation as described in your text. One of your roles as the special education inclusion teacher in your school is to translate the results of all the assessments in a way that is understandable to parents, the child, and to the regular education teacher. Another aspect of your role is to write the Initial Referral to the MDT such as the one described on p. 112 of the text. Finally, in your role as the special education inclusion teacher you are tasked with reviewing the results of all the assessments in order to to help the Manuel, his parents and his other teachers to understand the various strategies that are recommended based on his assessment outcomes.
You have reviewed the RTI data collected to date, including the informal observations of Mr, Franklin and Manuel's other teachers and samples of his classroom work, and have compared those data to
Part I of the Comprehensive Report
prepared by the school psychologist. That report is located in the Instructor Guidance for this week. The data paint a compelling and congruent picture of Manuel's current academic functioning. You are now ready to write an Initial Referral for Manuel so that his eligibility for special education services can be determined.
Initial Post:
Review the
Initial Referral to the Multi-Disciplinary Team form
on p. 112 and 113 of your text. Compare the information needed for that form with the
Child Study Team Referral Form
that you filled out last week for Manuel. Explain the different functions of the two documents and state how they are alike and how they are different. Then, explain how you plan to share the data on the Initial Referral to the Multi-Disciplinary Team form in a way that Manuel, his parents, and Mr. Franklin can understand. Be sure to include an explanation for why you are the one sharing this information with them. Include pertinent professional or personal real world examples to illustrate your points.

In Act 4 during the trial scene, Bassanio says the following lines:
“Antonio, I am married to a wife
Which [who] is as dear to me as life itself;
But life itself, my wife, and all the world
Are not with me esteemed above your life.
I would lose all, ay sacrifice them all
Here to this devil [Shylock] to deliver [save] you.”
And Portia, who hears these lines (though Bassanio doesn’t know it), says,
“Your wife would give you little thanks for that
If she were [near]by to hear you make the offer.”
(Act 4, scene 1, 281-288
Is Antonio really more important to Bassanio than Portia? Explain why or why not. What do these lines tell us about the value of male friendship vs. marriage in this play? Would Portia be justified in rejecting Bassanio, since later in this scene he gives away the ring she gave him which he swore never to give up? (see Act 3, scene 2, lines 167-185) Your response should be about 200-250 words and should include specific references to lines in the play.

It describes how Philip Sclater observed that the flora and fauna differed between the eastern and western Indonesian islands over a distance of just 15 km (Wallace Line). Alfred Wegener later proposed continental drift to explain similarities between separated landmasses. The theory of plate tectonics was developed, explaining how convection currents in the mantle cause rigid tectonic plates to move and interact at boundaries.
The document summarizes the geologic features and history observed in Big Bend National Park based on field mapping. During the Cretaceous period, limestone formations like the Santa Elena were deposited in the region as sea levels rose and fell. These formations were later folded and faulted during the Laramide Orogeny as the Farallon plate collided with North America. Normal faults and igneous intrusions were also observed that provided insight into the tectonic activity after deposition and folding of the layers. Analysis of the rock units, fossils, and structural features helps reconstruct the geologic changes in the area over the past 100 million years.
Lake Tahoe is over 2 million years old and is one of the oldest and purest large lakes in the world. It is located in the Sierra Nevada mountains and has a maximum depth of 1,645 feet. The bristlecone pine is a long-living tree species found in arid western North America, with the oldest known tree being nearly 5,000 years old. Gymnosperms were a dominant plant group in the past but today are most common in cold environments like boreal forests. Wild horses are thought to have migrated from North America to Eurasia, evolving over millions of years from a small forest-dwelling animal into modern equines.
This document provides a guide to the geology of Central Park in New York City. It is divided into three sections. Section one describes the building stones used in park structures. Section two examines bedrock outcroppings, showing evidence of NYC's tectonic history over billions of years. Section three inspects evidence left behind by glaciers, including striations and erratic boulders deposited during the last ice age. Stops around the park are detailed, identifying rock types and geological features formed by metamorphism, intrusions, erosion and glaciation.
The Sierra Nevada Mountains formed nearly 40 million years ago during the Eocene period. The mountains are composed of granite rocks that formed during the Mesozoic Era from repeated volcanic eruptions. During the Miocene Epoch less than 20 million years ago, the area began stretching in an east-west direction, forming valleys and mountain ranges. Today the Sierra Nevada is popular for hiking, biking, skiing, and snowboarding. Bald eagles evolved from reptiles in the Mesozoic period 66-144 million years ago. Ground squirrels are burrowing rodents that diverged into major branches around 36 million years ago. The document describes various igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks found in the Sierra Nevada

The document provides a summary of the geology tour given by Mike Stoever of the Washington D.C. area. It discusses the major geological processes that led to the formation of the area, including plate tectonics, erosion and deposition, a meteorite impact, and sea level changes. It then describes the four main geological provinces that make up the D.C. area, and highlights several important geological features, such as the Fall Line, Teddy Roosevelt Island, and Great Falls Park.
Yosemite National Park is located in California and covers 1,190 square miles. It was established in 1890 and contains many unique granite rock formations that were created by glaciers during the last Ice Age. Some of the most notable formations include Half Dome, El Capitan, and Cathedral Rocks. The park also features many lakes, meadows, waterfalls like Yosemite Falls, and diverse plant and animal wildlife across different habitat zones. Granite is the dominant rock type in the park and was formed deep underground from slowly cooling magma. Over time, erosion sculpted the granite into the stunning landscapes seen today.
The document summarizes key topics about the ocean floor covered in Chapter 14, including the different regions of the ocean floor and features found in each region. It discusses features such as mid-ocean ridges, trenches, seamounts, guyots, continental shelves, slopes, and rises. It also covers types of seafloor sediments and resources that can be obtained from the seafloor like oil, natural gas, and minerals.
1. In 1912, Alfred Wegener proposed the continental drift theory which hypothesized that around 200 million years ago, all the continents were joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea which later broke apart.
2. Evidence from fossils of the same plants and animals found across continents now separated by oceans, matching rock formations, and coal deposits provided support for continental drift.
3. In the 1960s, the theory of seafloor spreading was developed which helped explain continental drift as new ocean crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges and pushed continents apart.
This document summarizes geology fieldwork assignments on different rock types found in Sequoia National Park. It describes sedimentary rocks found near a waterfall that were sparkling and speckled. Metamorphic rocks located in a river appeared smooth and colorful from water exposure. Igneous rocks discovered by a waterfall included a rock that split open to reveal an orange interior. The document also provides brief histories of Sequoia National Park and the geological formation of the Sierra Nevada mountain range over 10 million years.

In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler o.docxcharisellington63520
In American politics, people often compare their enemies to Hitler or to the Nazis. Many Democrats compared Trump to a "fascist," and Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez famously compared child detention facilities to "concentration camps." (Republicans claimed this was an unfair comparison and disrespectful to the real victims of the Holocaust.) On the other hand, Republicans often claim that their Democratic enemies are like Hitler, and often whine that "the Left" is persecuting them similar to how the Nazis persecuted the Jews ("cancel culture" is like the Holocaust, wearing a mask is like wearing a yellow star, etc.). Obviously these are exaggerated, bad comparisons, and are more about scoring political points than teaching history accurately.
But is it
always
wrong and disrespectful to draw comparisons or lessons from the Holocaust? Isn't it possible--while being respectful and acknowledging all the differences that make the Holocaust uniquely horrible--to try to draw lessons from it and prevent anything like it in the future? What comparisons or lessons for the present, if any, can we learn from the Holocaust?
Using specific evidence/examples/comparisons from the primary source you analyzed, please make a specific argument about a lesson or comparison
you might draw from the Holocaust. I'm not interested in your general/vague opinions about politics or Holocaust comparisons. I want you to carefully and respectfully (not politically) draw a lesson from something you learned in your document/film.

American opinion has indeed shaped politic consequences, political interests, and policymaking. Even with little or no interest in policymaking and politics, the assumption of democracy gives the citizens the power to freely air out their issues and give their opinion in matters of political concern. Taking the war in Iraq, it posed a significant economic and political imbalance. However, support from the politicians was negligible. And because a majority of the Americans opposed the war in Iran, they voted for a Democratic congressional candidate. Their opinion played a great deal in making concrete policies in response to the war in Iraq.
Public opinion is a reflection of the citizens’ view on how the government responds to national politics. Political actions are driven by the citizen’s opinion (Erikson, & Tedin, 2015). It sheds light on the outcomes of specific policies and helps the political candidates identify the characters demanded of them by the citizens. Political scholars argued that the perception of old public opinions was changed because of ambiguity and inaccuracy (Dür, 2019). Modern theories came to identify public opinion as either latent or a broad expression. Latent opinions are formed on the spot, while broad expressions are opinions that had earlier been formed and remained stable (Cantril, 2015).
When convincing policymakers, it proves difficult, interest groups may indirectly influence public opinion. They can achieve this through the media, holding rallies, or handing out leaflets to the public (Dür, 2019). Because the citizens have little or no information on policymaking, they can easily be swayed by interest groups. Interest groups can, therefore, successfully source their support from public opinion or not.
Public opinion remains relevant in American politics. Journalists, politicians, and political scientists should focus on getting the public’s opinion on state affairs. In as much as views might differ or change, establishing a common ground will help in policymaking (Dür, 2019). For the war in Iraq, the Democratic gained power over the senate and House. This was greatly influenced by the failure of public support that shifted the pro-Democratic in 2006 and the 2008 elections. Because opinions are not fixed, establishing a connection between public views and political outcomes might be impossible.

In addition to reading the
Announcements
, prepare for this discussion by reading the
Required Resources
, the
Week Four Instructor Guidance
, and the scenario provided below. In particular, you should review the
Initial Referral to the Multidisciplinary Team form
found on p. 112-113 of your text, the
Child Study Team Referral Form
from week three, and
Part I
of the
Comprehensive Report
found in the
Instructor Guidance
for this week.
Scenario:
In addition to your role on the Child Study Team, you are also a member of the Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MDT). This team is preparing to meet because while the Tier Two Interventions have been helpful, Manuel is still struggling with his reading fluency and his writing, and is continuing to fall further behind. The MDT has received the signed and dated formal permission for referral from Manuel's parents and the school psychologist has conducted an academic achievement evaluation as described in your text. One of your roles as the special education inclusion teacher in your school is to translate the results of all the assessments in a way that is understandable to parents, the child, and to the regular education teacher. Another aspect of your role is to write the Initial Referral to the MDT such as the one described on p. 112 of the text. Finally, in your role as the special education inclusion teacher you are tasked with reviewing the results of all the assessments in order to to help the Manuel, his parents and his other teachers to understand the various strategies that are recommended based on his assessment outcomes.
You have reviewed the RTI data collected to date, including the informal observations of Mr, Franklin and Manuel's other teachers and samples of his classroom work, and have compared those data to
Part I of the Comprehensive Report
prepared by the school psychologist. That report is located in the Instructor Guidance for this week. The data paint a compelling and congruent picture of Manuel's current academic functioning. You are now ready to write an Initial Referral for Manuel so that his eligibility for special education services can be determined.
Initial Post:
Review the
Initial Referral to the Multi-Disciplinary Team form
on p. 112 and 113 of your text. Compare the information needed for that form with the
Child Study Team Referral Form
that you filled out last week for Manuel. Explain the different functions of the two documents and state how they are alike and how they are different. Then, explain how you plan to share the data on the Initial Referral to the Multi-Disciplinary Team form in a way that Manuel, his parents, and Mr. Franklin can understand. Be sure to include an explanation for why you are the one sharing this information with them. Include pertinent professional or personal real world examples to illustrate your points.

In Act 4 during the trial scene, Bassanio says the following lines:
“Antonio, I am married to a wife

But life itself, my wife, and all the world
Are not with me esteemed above your life.
I would lose all, ay sacrifice them all

And Portia, who hears these lines (though Bassanio doesn’t know it), says,
“Your wife would give you little thanks for that
If she were [near]by to hear you make the offer.”
(Act 4, scene 1, 281-288
Is Antonio really more important to Bassanio than Portia? Explain why or why not. What do these lines tell us about the value of male friendship vs. marriage in this play? Would Portia be justified in rejecting Bassanio, since later in this scene he gives away the ring she gave him which he swore never to give up?

Through the advent of social media, a thing known as "slactivism" has arisen. This is literally activism through social media and, despite such a negative label, researchers are finding that this actually works! Activism through the medium of social media is having a significant impact. This is just ONE example of many of not only a "mass behavior" but can also fit into all 4 categories of social movements. The individuals involved in this mass behavior/social behavior could easily be examined within the lens of the "contagion theory" as well as the "emergent-norm theory."

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

Detailed Geological Trip Report
Name
Institution Affiliation
Detailed Trip Report: First Part
7:45 a.m. We departed from Campus.
We drove north on Highway 101. As we continued north
through the Highway, we passed through Yachats, a town that is
approximately 75 miles. Just on the left past the Adobe Motel
was the turn-off to Smelt Sands Beach which was our first stop.
( that’s all copied)
Stop 1: Smelt Sands Beach.
Smooth and brown rocks are molded together by wet beach
sand. The sand is, however, coarse with contents including,
quartz, basalt, shell pieces, serpentine and agates. The rock
forming the base rock formation is present in the sand
signifying the rock is broken down by erosion.
Different rocks are also exposed and are believed to be from the
2. Cenozoic Era. They are featured as part of the Yachats Basalt
and are Late Eocene (36-40 million years) in age. These rocks
were formed as a result of the cooling of magma from a series
of eruptions ( this is all copied from that cheater essay.. not
hard to tell see I told you… KEEP This I will alter (Alt and
Hyndman 1978).
There is the existence of a Pleistocene terrace where the town of
Yachats is built. The terrace was probably formed when the sea
level was lower, and its deposit is 10,000 to 1.8 million years
old. It cuts into the Yachats basalt sequence (Snavely, 1980). Its
present level, which is above, the present sea level, is attributed
to either the rise of land due to tectonic activity or dropping of
the sea level. It is, however, difficult to know where the uplift
of the land is possible in such an active coastline. The Smelt
Sands Beach is located to the South of the start of Yaquina
formation. A basalt flow is found at this spot. It lies beneath the
Pleistocene terrace. This basalt is about 40 million years old.
The Pleistocene, on the other hand, is about 1.8 years old. What
happened between the formation of the basalt and the
Pleistocene is not known yet. However, some researchers
speculate that land movement could have occurred which led to
dropping of the sea level or rising of the land. The whole town
of Yachats has been built on this beach terrace.
Information about the town of Yachats indicates that much is of
it occurs in a zone that prone to tsunami if another Cascadia
subduction occurs. The part of the town, which is not, in the
tsunami zone is found on the hillside. However, this part also
risks destruction from the tsunami-causing earthquake. Studies
carried out by researchers indicate 50m of beach would retreat
in this region should a cascadia subduction occur (Snavely,
1980). This means that the biggest part of the Yachats town
would be destroyed considering that most of the premises in the
town, which include shops, hotels and residential houses are
within a distance of 50m from the water. Plants found in this
3. region include bog anemones and gold-eyed grasses.
Stop 1a: Cape Perpetua-Heceta head area.
There is a trail down the Devils churn at the end of the low
road. The existence of local vents in the Cape Perpetua-Heceta
head area is the primary sources of basalt in here. They formed
shield-like accumulations composed of sub aerial basalt which
were initially erupted on a shallow shelf (Snavely, 1980). This
explains why basalt is the most common type of rock in Oregon
(Alt and Hyndman, 1978).
We departed Smelt Sands Beach
Stop 2: Darlingtonia Wayside ( move this up to the top as a
unplanned stop in the morning , it actually was our first stop) as
I told you many of times just begin the paper with this as Our
first stop of the morning was actually an unplanned stop at the
Darlingtonia Wayside)
The next stop was at Darlingtonia Wayside, which is on the
north of Florence. Here, we saw a grove of Darlingtonia
Carlifornica. Darlingtonia is the only land in the state of
Oregon that has been set aside for the purpose of protectijng a
single plant species. The species that have preserved here is the
cobra lily also known California pitcher plant. This plant is
carnivorous. It grows in acidic and nutrient deficient soils. This
makes it thrive well in harsh conditions where most plants
cannot (Alt and Hyndman, 1978). This has made to receive very
little competition from other plants. The plant was thick and
healthy, and the environment seemed to suit it well.
The plant derives its nutrients from trapping insects. It does this
by enticing the insects into the pitcher-shaped hollows created
in its leaves. Once the insects are in the chamber, they fall to
the lower end of the hollow and drown. The plant, using
4. bacteria, breaks down the insect and this provides it with
nutrients. This is an adaptive feature of the plant that helps it to
compensate for the lack of nutrients in the soil. The
Darlingtonia Wayside is covered with sand. In areas where the
cobra lily grow, the sand is covered with mud and organic
material. The high level of sand in this region is mainly due to
its closeness to the beach
Stop 3: Strawberry Hill.
This area has interesting erosional patterns as compared to any
other area. We observed a series of basalt intrusions that run
parallel to each other. Another noticeable formation was
running near the path leading down to the beach and down the
length of the hill. Regular and brick-like shapes formed the
surface of this formation arm of the ocean cuts through this
basalt flow. ( this is all copied )
As much as these flows look like sills (igneous body that
intrudes parallel to existing rock layers), they are dikes (feature
that cuts across the preexisting rock layers). Both the sills and
dikes are flat and igneous intrusions to rocks.
The sand in this place is dark and fine-grained most probably
because it is wet. Shell midden, which are remains, of shellfish
is caught and shelled by the natives and not that uplifting of a
fossil bed lie around this area.
Stop 4: Heceta Churn ("Devil's Elbow").
The erosion of a fault in flows of the Yachats basalt is
responsible for the formation of the churn. Basalt and silica-rich
basaltic rock form the dikes in this area (Snavely, 1980). Huge
and visible basalt formations that were earlier attached to the
mainland were separated when erosion of the softer rock around
the stacks occurred.
5. The sand in this area is black since it may be composed of
basalt. Black sands in these regions are said to contain minerals
such as, garnet zirconium, small gold deposits, titanium,
platinum, chromium and iron (Snavely, 1980). A small igneous
intrusion as compared to that at Strawberry Hill runs down into
the water. The basalt formations cooled slower on the inside but
faster on the outside hence gas was released (Carver, Clague &
Darienzo, 1997). This explains the large vesicles of the basalt
formation on the dikes.
Stop 5: Heceta lighthouse
21 km from Yachats town on the south, we came to Heceta
lighthouse. The lighthouse is about 17 m tall, and our tour told
us that the beam of light emitted from the lighthouse is visible
for a distance of about 34 km. this makes it, the strongest light,
found on the Oregon Coast. The Oregon Parks and Recreation
department are mandated with the maintenance of the
lighthouse. According to our tour guide, ( we don’t have a tour
guide as stated several times… its our professor )and we didn’t
go up to the light house we researched Devils Churn and Elbow
and the large Seastack instrusion that was there at the site .) the
lighthouse has a long history. He told us that it got its name
from a Spanish explorer known as Bruno de Heceta. Heceta
explored the Pacific Northwest in the 18th century. Our tour
told us that, before him, the place where the lighthouse is
located was used a popular spot for hunting and fishing by the
native tribes, who were found in the region. The natives hunted
the sea lions and gathered bird eggs. In 1888, white people
moved into the region and occupied the surrounding land. The
lighthouse was constructed in the year after approval of the US
lighthouse service (Alt and Hyndman, 1978). The lighthouse
underwent a number of repairs and renovations since its
construction, the latest repair being in 2011. The lighthouse
remains a significant feature in the Heceta region.
6. Stop 6: Sea lion caves (we didn’t stop directly at the sealion
caves.. we stopped south of it as stated in the intinerary to look
at the North Far end begginnngs of the Sand Dunes)
The next stop after the Heceta lighthouse was at the sea lion
caves. The sea lion caves are located about 18 km on the north
of Florence. The sea lion caves are a system of caverns and sea
caves, which open to the ocean. The caves are at sea level, and
this makes them be washed continually by ocean. The main
cavern of the system has about 2 acres in of floor area and a
rock dome which is about 38 m high. On the south of the main
chamber, a passage runs for about 300 m to an opening to the
sea. Our tour informed us that this passage is normally flooded
during high tides while, in low tides, it lacks water. The
entrance on the western part of the chamber is a high passage. A
third entrance to the cave system is found to the north of the
main chamber and is about 15 m above the ocean. This entrance
serves as an observation area because it is elevated. One is able
to view the whole underground cave system together with the
animals found in it from this point. The common plants found in
these caves are lichens and algae, which cover the walls of the
caves and caverns.
Our tour guide told us that this system of caves was discovered
by a seaman known as Captain William Cox in 1880. After
discovering it, Cox returned to caves several times to explore
them. It is reported that, on one, occasion, he was stranded for
several days in the caves because of a rough ocean and stormy
weather, and he survived starvation by shooting and eating the
meat of a sea lion. It is not known whether the story is
authentic. However, what is certain is that Cox eventually
purchased the land around the place in 1887 (Snavely, 1980).
The sea lion caves from the largest system of caves in the world
and they offer an awe-inspiring view of sea lions. The caves are
home to sea lions from which they derive their name. the sea
7. lions occupy this place mainly during winter months.
.
Stop 7: Oregon Dunes
After Darlingtonia Wayside, we headed to Honeyman State
Park. (as stated we didn’t stop at honeyman state park )At this
site, we were able to view sand dunes. The Honeyman State
Park provides an excellent from which one can get a
magnificent of dunes. We then went to the Oregon dunes
overlook where we commenced our search for yardangs. Since
none of us knew what yardangs are, we left wondering whether
it was an animal or plant. However, our tour guide led to a long
dune and pointed out a yardang, which was sitting on top of the
dune. It turned out, control to our guesses, a yardang is a
geological formation. Yardangs normally form when new dunes
form on top of others, which are already in existence. Yardangs
are features formed from the action of winds on dunes. When
wind erodes an older underlying dune, the newer dunes form on
top of it migrate. This erodes the older dune. If the erosion
continues, the older dune wears out until the only thing that
remains from it is the core, which is normally hard to erode
(Carver, Clague & Darienzo, 1997). This remaining part is what
is referred to as the yardang. Our guide informed that, in
Oregon, yardangs form only in winter. This is because moisture
is needed to hold the sand forming the dunes together.
Stop 8: Eel Creek Campground
Our adventure of exploring dunes continued as the day went by.
After driving for about 30 minutes, we came to the Eel Creek
Campground where we continued to explore and study dunes.
We explored one dune in this area and like before, I decided to
measure its size. I used the first astronomy method, which
involves using a combination of estimates of length and right-
8. triangle trigonometry. I walked the lengths of the dune and
counted the steps I made, and this helped me estimate the
dune’s height. From my estimates, the height of the dune was
about 68 feet. This was down from 86 feet that had been
achieved from the visit by other explorers. This indicates that
the dune has been wearing out presumably from erosion. From
my estimations, I found that the dune’s angle of elevation was
27 degrees, which was also, a reduction from 34 degrees that
had been achieved earlier. This further supported the theory that
erosion of the dune has been taking place (Browning & Gallob,
1999). These comparisons may not be accurate because of the
estimation which could have had huge effects on the calculated
values. However, since the same method was used in both
instances, it offers a near accurate picture of what could have
been happening in terms of action of wind on the dune.
After the exploring the dune and measuring it, we moved a few
metres on the north and came to a small flat plain. This plain
had dry and light sand on top of wet and dark sand. The wet
sand shows the water table in this region. it shows the lowest
point of a dune, and this explains why it is flat. However, our
guide informed that these lowest points are not permanent as the
dry sand found on top of the wet sand has the capability to grow
into dunes. This will, therefore, shift the minimum point to
another place. According to studies, the water table we
discovered in this region is very crucial because it is the main
source of water for the Bay-North Bend region. As of 1987, the
aquifer supplied about 5 million gallons of water per day to this
region. The water table in this region sometimes expresses itself
as a lake on the dune (Carver, Clague & Darienzo, 1997). This
normally shown in the formation of a lake in the middle of a
dune with the lake having no inlet. This shows that the source
of the water is from below in the water table. This dune was
also characterized by the presence of yardangs on top of it. The
yardangs had formed humps on the dune. However, they did not
have a certain definite appearance.
9. Stop 9: Horsfall Beach
Our last stop on this trip was at the Horsfall Beach. The beach
is characterized by miles of open, inland and beach dunes and
flooded plain wet lands. Some of common activities common in
this region include surf fishing, hiking, horseback riding, and
vehicle riding. This beach is famed as a training ground for the
running legend Steve Prefontaine and a site for a shipwreck that
occurred in 1999 (Snavely, MacLeod, Wagner & Lander, 1980).
Winter storms are common in this region and are responsible for
the numerous shipwrecks that have occurred here in the past.
We carried out an experiment at the site to determine the speed
of the offshore drift. Our simple experiment involved throwing
an orange into the water at a distance of about 100 feet from the
shore. Our aim was to observe the amount of time the orange
took to reach the share so that we can calculate the speed by
dividing the distance by the orange with time taken to reach the
shore. Our assumption was that the orange would travel in a
straight line to the shore and this would make it easy to
calculate the speed of the offshore drift. However, this was not
the case because other factors came that affected the movement
of the orange. The first one was that the in the first few
minutes, there was a strong wind blowing to the shore and this
made the orange return to the shore very quickly. Another
problem was the direction the wind pushed the waves. This
made the orange drift to the south for about 20 feet each time it
returned. At the point, the orange failed to come to the shore
and remained in the sea. In addition, each time the orange made
it to the shore produced different results and it was hard to find
an average. This is because the disparity recorded was so big.
All the same we calculated the velocity and found an average of
15cm/s. however, when we tried to compare our results with
those of other groups that have performed the same experiment
at a site, we realized that the disparity between the results was
10. so big. This made it hard to compare the results and come up
with an average value. This caused mainly by the complexity of
the currents system in this region. Studies indicate that offshore
currents at this place have a speed of about 13cm/s. however,
they can reach about 150 cm/s to 200 cm/s when currents, tides,
and wind are pushing in the same direction (Snavely, MacLeod,
Wagner & Lander, 1980). From this beach, we boarded the bus
and went back to school.

Detailed Trip Report: First Part
7:45 a.m. We departed from Campus.
We drove north on Highway 101. As we continued north
through the Highway, we passed through Yachats, a town that is
approximately 75 miles. Just on the left past the Adobe Motel
was the turn-off to Smelt Sands Beach which was our first stop.
Stop 1: Smelt Sands Beach.
Smooth and brown rocks are molded together by wet beach
sand. The sand is however coarse with contents including,
quartz, basalt, shell pieces, serpentine and agates. The rock
forming the base rock formation is present in the sand
20. signifying the rock is broken down by erosion.
Different rocks are also exposed and are believed to be from the
Cenozoic Era. They are featured as part of the Yachats Basalt
and are Late Eocene (36-40 million years) in age. These rocks
were formed as a result of the cooling of magma from a series
of eruptions (Alt and Hyndman 1978).
There is the existence of a Pleistocene terrace where the town of
Yachats is built on. The terrace which was probably formed
when the sea level was lower and its deposit is 10,000 to 1.8
million years old. It cuts into the Yachats basalt sequence
(Snavely, 1980). Its present level which is above the present sea
level is attributed to either the rise of land due to tectonic
activity or dropping of the sea level. It is however difficult to
know where the uplift of the land is possible in such an active
coastline.
Stop 1a: Cape Perpetua-Heceta head area.
There is a trail down the Devils churn at the end of the low
road. The existence of local vents in the Cape Perpetua-Heceta
head area is the primary sources of basalt in here. They formed
shield-like accumulations composed of sub aerial basalt which
were initially erupted on a shallow shelf (Snavely, 1980). This
explains why basalt is the most common type of rock in Oregon
(Alt and Hyndman, 1978).
We departed Smelt Sands Beach.
Stop 2: Strawberry Hill.
This area has interesting erosional patterns as compared to any
other area. We observed a series of basalt intrusions that run
parallel to each other. Another noticeable formation was
running near the path leading down to the beach and down the
length of the hill. Regular and brick-like shapes formed the
surface of this formation am of the ocean cuts through this
basalt flow.
As much as these flows look like sills (igneous body that
intrudes parallel to existing rock layers), they are dikes (feature
that cuts across the preexisting rock layers). Both the sills and
21. dikes are flat and igneous intrusions to rocks.
The sand in this place is dark and fine-grained most probably
because it is wet. Shell midden, which are remains of shellfish
is caught and shelled by the natives and not that uplifting of a

The erosion of a fault in flows of the Yachats basalt is

and visible basalt formations that were earlier attached to the
mainland were separated when erosion of the softer rock around
the stacks occurred.

the water. The basalt formations cooled slower on the inside but
faster on the outside hence gas was released (Carver, Clague &
Darienzo, 1997). This explains the large vesicles of the basalt
formation on the dikes.
