Lizard People or Reptilian Humanoids
Have you ever heard of the Lizard people or reptilian humanoids? Have you ever visited the Fort Moore Hill section of Downtown Los Angeles? Chances are that you have and didn’t have knowledge of it being previously called Fort Moore Hill. Fort Moore was an historic U.S. Military Fort in Los Angeles, California, during the Mexican–American War. As the largest bas-relief military monument in the United States, it honors the Mormon Battalion, the U.S. 1st Dragoons, and the New York Volunteers who raised the American flag over the fort on July 4, 1847, at the first Independence Day in Los Angeles. Its approximate location was at what is now the Hollywood Freeway near the intersection of North Hill Street and West Cesar Chavez Avenue, downtown. The hill was located one block north of Temple Street and a short distance south of present day Cesar Chavez Avenue, between the Los Angeles Civic Center and Chinatown. A small portion of the hill was not bulldozed and remains on the west side of Hill Street on the north side of the freeway. Part of Fort Moore Hill became home to a cemetery, with the first documented burial tracing back to December 19, 1853. Alternately known as Los Angeles City Cemetery, Protestant Cemetery, Fort Moore Hill Cemetery, Fort Hill Cemetery, or simply "the cemetery on the hill", it was the city's first non-Catholic cemetery. In 1891, the site became home to the second location of Los Angeles High School (LAHS), located on North Hill Street between Sand Street (later California Street, now part of 101 Freeway) and Bellevue Avenue (later Sunset Boulevard, now Cesar Chavez Avenue). LAHS was at this location on Fort Moore Hill until 1917, when the high school was moved again. Most of Fort Moore Hill was removed in 1949 for the construction of the Hollywood Freeway, which was opened in December 1950, and in 1957 a memorial for the old fort and its American pioneers was placed on a site north of the freeway.

    Fort Clatsop

    Upon the Corps of Discovery departure in March 1806, the fort rapidly decayed in the wet coastal forest of the western Oregon region, but was reconstructed in 1955 from sketches in the journals of William Clark. The National Park Service maintains a replica fort within the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park that is believed to sit on, or near the site of the original fort. The original fort, however, has not been seen since the mid-19th century and, despite efforts, remains of the fort continue to elude archaeologists. Archaeologists working at the site over the past six decades have described countless subsurface “pit” and “lens” features, variously interpreted as fire hearths and trash or privy pits, and sometimes interpreted as evidence of Lewis and Clark. The ubiquity of such features on the landscape and the absence of corroborative artifactual evidence call into question their anthropogenic origin, and archaeologists have often failed to consider the full range of site formation processes acting on the site. The replica of the fort constructed for the sesquicentennial in 1955 and lasted fifty years; it was severely damaged by fire in early October 2005, weeks before Fort Clatsop's bicentennial. A new replica, more rustic and rough-hewn, was built by about 700 volunteers in 2006; it opened with a dedication ceremony that took place on December 9.…

    Firstly, there is the question of the site of the memorial building in which Clark’s statue and the murals are contained. It is placed at a site that was believed to be the original location of Fort Sackville. In spite of this, there has been no archeological evidence that has shown its actual location. All the National Park service maintains is that the fort undoubtedly lies within the park's boundaries. Regardless, this situation presented the memorial’s architect, Hirons, with the opportunity to impart a significant degree of Bias when choosing the exact site to construct the building and other large park structures. This could result in a misrepresentation of the historical locations for visitors, albeit…

    Feral Hogs

    Sus scrofa, commonly known as feral hogs, have been present in North America region since the arrival of the earliest settlers in the sixteenth century (Ditchkoff and West 2007). Colonist’s originally released feral hogs because of the high adaptability of this species to their surrounding habitat and ability to survive thus being a ready food supply for settlers. Due to their high adaptability to new habitat, this solution species for the survival of settlers has now become a problematic species within the ecosystem today. Feral hogs currently occur in 40 of the 50 states, can strongly influence ecosystem processes, and often directly or indirectly affect native flora and fauna, as well as crops and soil (Mayer and Brisbin 1991, Ditchkoff and West 2007, Kaller et al. 2007, Hartin et al. 2007). Due to the strong and often negative effects feral hogs have on natural systems, as well as economically valued commodities, managers are often tasked with developing and implementing control programs for this species (Engeman et al. 2007, Rollings et al. 2007).…

    THE CHIHUAHUA IS NONE FOR IT APPLE DOME HEAD AND IT’S BARREL CAGED BODY.To know me is to love me." – IS WHAT A Chihuahua's motto WOULD BE if they could talk.THE CHIHUAHUA CAN BE TRACED BACK Rich with history and legend, the tiny Chihuahua dates back to pre-Columbian Mexico, and is the oldest breed in the Americas. Chihuahuas are believed to descend either from the Techichi, mute companions to the Toltecs, or from small Chinese dogs brought to the Americas by the Conquistadors; it is also possible that both theories are accurate and the Chihuahua is a mix. The Techichi historical record only goes back to the ninth century but it is likely that the Chihuahua’s ancestors predate the Mayans. The remains of dogs resembling the Chihuahua have been found in the Pyramids at Cholula on the Yucatan Peninsula, which predate the 16th century. The Aztecs, who eventually conquered the Toltecs, adopted the Chihuahua as a sacred icon of the upper class. It is said the dogs were used in religious ceremonies to redress sins and as guides for the spirits of the dead. Christopher Columbus refers to the tiny dog in a letter to the King of Spain. Without doubt, the Chihuahua’s principle home was present-day Mexico, but the breed’s immigration to Europe may have been Columbus’ doing.…

    I decided to base my clinical assessment of a movie character on Conrad Jarrett, the lead character of the film Ordinary People. Conrad is seventeen years old and is the only child of Beth and Calvin Jarrett. The Jarrett’s live in the affluent suburb of Lake Forest, Illinois, where Calvin works as a successful tax attorney. The Jarrett’s have just recently experienced a family tragedy, where their eldest son, Buck, drown in a boating accident, while Conrad witnessed the entire event. Six month after the accident, Conrad has become severely depressed, and slit his wrists with a razor blade in a failed suicide attempt. His parents discovered him unconscious in the bathroom, and immediately committed him to a psychiatric hospital. He spent eight months in treatment and has recently returned home, as well as resumed his classes at Lake Forest High School. He is struggling socially, academically, and has a strained relationship with his mother, Beth. Immediately following his discharge, Conrad continues to experience nightmares, and flashbacks to the boating accident in which he watched his older brother die from drowning. He is also experiencing chronic agitation, appetite loss, poor concentration, and avoidance of his former friends and extracurricular activities. When Conrad was receiving treatment, he was initially diagnosed with major depression with agitation, without active suicidal ideation. He attends psychotherapy twice weekly with Dr. Tyrone Berger.…

    When thinking about humans and nature, no one realizes how similar both actually are. In particular, geckos and humans share a similar trait though being very different. Geckos' regeneration of their tails relates to humans more than most might think. They detach their tails when the tail becomes a threat to them and their safety (Physiological and Biochemical Zoology). Humans detach situations or feelings that become harmful to them. Humans and geckos both let go of things they were once attached to.…

    The definition of a sense of identity is the condition of being oneself and not another. In Ordinary People, Judith Guest refers to Conrad Jarrett as "A newborn fawn without his mother (46)." Ever since Conrad lost his brother, Buck, in a tragic boating accident, he feels guilty and that he is to blame. He loses his sense of identity, but with the help of Jeannine, Dr. Berger, and Calvin, he is able to reevaluate himself and become an "ordinary person" once again.…
