My Poor Plant Baby

I recieved my plant baby over a week ago, and I have come to realized how unfit I am to be a parent right now. I would water my plant but due to the lack of sunlight in my room. I would sit my baby seed under the heat of my CF bulded lamp, but I soon realized that it was not an adequate substitute for real sunshine. last friday I decided that my plant needed real sunlight, so I took it and placed it outside of plunkett in a hidden spot to sit and soak up that rays. I placed it out in that spot all weekend, but disaster struck monday. The evil landscapers came, while I was in my morning classes, and saw my cup of dirt; thinking that it was just a cup a dirt,I assume, they dumped the dirt out and threw away the cup. That was the last time I ever saw my baby. I have just gotten over the pain of this heartbreak, and will try again on friday to make a new baby this one will be named Lowell , which come from the Old English word meaning Wolf, because my new plant baby will fight like a wolf to grow big and stonger than all other plants in the class.

Extremophiles- Going to the extremes

A thermophile is an organism a type of extremophile that not only survives but thrives at relatively high temperatures, between113 and 176 °F. Many thermophiles are archaea. Many Scientist suggest that thermophilic eubacteria are among the earliest bacteria. Many also believe that because they can create a habitat out of very harsh and unlivable conditions for all life that thermophile might have helped create the first community of life.

Reasoning

Deduction is a method for applying a general rule called the major premise in specific situations called the minor premise of which conclusions can be drawn. An Example is:
Major premise:   All humans are mortal
Minor premise:   I am a human
REasoningConclusion:   I am mortal
Immediately the obviousness and straightforwardness of the conclusion can be drawn from the premises.

Inductive reasoning is the antithesis of deductive reasoning. In this form of logical reasoning specific conclusions are generalized to general conclusions. A famous hypothesis is ‘all swans are white’. This conclusion was taken from a large amount of observations without observing any black swan. Inductive reasoning however is a risky form of logical reasoning since the conclusion can as easily be incorrect when, looking at the swans example, a black swan is spotted.

Commuication

To communicate is to have an interchange, as of ideas. It is to transfer knowledge from one human to another. If we as humans could not communicate then we could not evolve in our thinking.  Knowledge is found in communication.
