The Warpaint Emerald Dragonfly is a fascinating dragonfly. The size of this dragonfly is above the average size for the genus. Each of the four wings of this dragonfly can move independently and are powered by powerful muscles. The wings normally beat 35 times per second and propel the dragonfly to speeds of 35 miles per hour. Dragonflies have a visual field of almost 360 degrees. The legs of dragonflies are not able to walk. The Warpaint Emerald Dragonfly is about 49-50 mm long in adults. The abdomen is approximately 38-47 mm and, the hind wing is about 31-37 mm long. This dragonfly has a very dark face, with a shiny black labrum (rim of mouth). The ante-clypeus is yellow, while the post-clypeus is brown with a lower yellow border. The frons is shiny metallic green, with a cinnamon brown band, and a yellow band below that. The thorax is thinly lined with long whitish hairs, and has green reflections in the front. Wings have a brown tinge, but this tinge is more apparent in females. The abdomen is also, brown. The habitat includes sphagnum pools 10-40 cm deep in few-seeded sedge. The sedge is found in wetland areas often, adjacent to sandy uplands that have trees such as; jack pine, red pine, and northern pin oak. Larvae are found clinging underneath sphagnum mounds at pool edge. At the pool edge the larvae are partial to brown, decomposed wood and sedges because it camouflages the body of the larvae.

Asata thought ,Realizing that her friend was most…

hard work but unwillingness to work at it will only rob us of the beauty of seeing our dreamsflying in the sky. Dreams are not something to wait for they are something to work for. Having a dream is not tantamous to itsfulfillment. “Laziness may appear attractive but hard work gives satisfaction” – Amed Frank. “The soul of the sluggard craves andgetsnothing” – The Bible 2. WAITING FOR THE PERFECT TIME The best way to get something done is to begin. Nothing keeps our dreams from taking flight…

Heroes are people who are determined to do what’s right for their comrades or community. They are determined to follow their dreams; they are determined to reach a goal that they set for themselves, and they do. The hero of “The Four Feathers” is Harry Feversham, the descendant of a long line of military heroes, who is expected to carry on the tradition of his overbearing authoritarian father. He was a true figure for the Victorian fantasy of war as a manly endeavor. In the book Salvage the…

has been a huge noticeable difference in design and innovation. One of many differences in the Cirrus compared to the Cessna, is the avionics. For Example the Cirrus has an ADS-B standard in all of their planes. ADS-B allows the cirrus to have “eyes in the sky” essentially seeing other planes on the screen in correlation to them, creating a safer environment for the Cirrus pilot. In contrast the Cessna does not come equipped with ADS-B, the Cessna is essentially flying blind oblivious to other…

announced, “Lets head to the airport, maybe that is our key to getting back home.” Kate agreed and off they went. When they arrived at the airport, it was dead silent and they couldn’t see anyone inside. Mr. Jack’s bulldog was the first to explore by sniffing around. He started to lick up all of the nasty crumbs from the eatery’s floors. Kate and Mr. Jacks began furiously looking for ways out. They came to Gate C and found the door to the hall that leads to where passengers board the aircraft.…

planning. They must figure out the flight plan, what drone they will be using, compliance, then they must produce a site analysis. That consists of what they call “ground truthing” a team going out and putting out at least 3 ground control points, and 159 manual tie point markers so the computer can tell where there is an elevation change and so they can collect more information for accurate data, as well as being able to track it with the drone and seeing where pictures overlap. They do not get…

numerous amount of things when they spend time together, but this particular moment is more special than any time before. Mack shows Allie how to fly; it is such a pleasant and graceful experience.

grandfather. He would take me to the Canadian Air and Space Museum located in Ottawa, Canada. While there, we would spend the day watching and learning about the different types of airplanes, where they were first used, and even about different jets at the museum. Every year that we went to visit him, I demanded that we visit the museum at least one time. One of my favorite attractions at the museum was their Flight Simulator. Everytime we went to the museum, going on their Flight Simulator was…
