Web Diving Reviews

Last November I had the awesome privilege to be one of 12 invited faculty members on an A. P. Biology teaching and research oceanographic cruise in Hawaii. John Kay from Iolani High School in Honolulu, HI. had been making plans for this trip for over a year. The idea was to take A.P. biology kids out onto and into the water, off the coast of Lanai, HI, and teach several of the A.P. biology labs in the natural setting where these organisms live and interact with one another in the environment!! His dream came true last November.

Managing Credit Card Debts

Finding the ways to get cash is becoming an urgent problem for American people. They just see no strategy to find it. They finally see themselves in debts for the need to not just pay out daily expenses but to begin paying off old debts.
The Federal Reserve reports that the average amount of the country’s credit card debts forms the general value of 957 billion dollars, so the national statistics display the situation. Well, considering that conditions of making loans are firmly limited…
I’m not an accurate payer as well. In my worst periods I had to pay out a debt of $100,000. It was mainly on credit cards while the other part were those endless loans supposed to help close old credits. I was always asking of who could help to cope with credit card debt and searching for the solution everywhere.

Recognize the situation? See, you need to make your p Read the rest of this entry »

An Editorial for the Electronic Journal of Science Education

Tagged Under : ,

I left my house in Reno with mild November temperatures, but fully knowing that winter was here since we had experienced several of the early snow flurries. With this knowledge foremost on my mind, I packed accordingly. After all, being on Lake Tahoe in November is pleasant, but when the wind kicks up and the spray from the waves washes aboard it gets cold. I boarded the plane with 2 large crates of teaching equipment and 2 large suitcases full of clothing ranging from my winter parka to swim trunks. When we touched down in Honolulu, I finally understood the harsh criticism and stupidity of bringing winter parkas, long underwear, big sweat shirts, etc. The temperature was in the high seventies and the humidity was somewhere in that very high range only known to these tropical climates or at least compared to the arid Nevada desert. I abandoned 1 whole suitcase on the spot!!

I met Mr. Kay (known to all of his students and friends as "Jack") for the first time on the evening of November 25th. He had planned a luau for all of the 82 high school kids and their parents at Iolani High School. We were spoiled with succulent traditional Hawaiian dishes and even entertained by a few of his Hawaiian students as they led us through several chants and cultural activities - this was only a mere glimpse into what was to come over the next 5 days. I also met all of the students and their teachers: John Kay "Jack", Carey Inouye, Susan Nishiura, and Dena Ono from Ioloni High School with 40 of their students, Darrel James from Modesto Junior College with 12 of his students from Modesto, CA, John and Peggy Skinner from Bush School in Seattle, WA, with 16 of their students, Rose Hutchinson from La Pietra School in Honolulu, HI, with 8 of her students, several students from Saint Andrews Priory School and Waipahu High School, William and Dolly Barstow from the University of Georgia, Duane Jeffery from Brigham Young University, Kodi Jeffery from University of Texas, El Paso, and Mark Heckman, the Educational Director for the Waikiki Aquarium and Bishop Museum.
