SYDNEY GHOREISHI SYMPTOMS IN FISH: Mycobacterium marinum Loss of scales, loss of color, lesions on body, skeletal deformities, loss of appetite, rap- id breathing, pop eye, reclusive behavior, and bloated stomachs. THIS DISEASE CAN BE TRANSMITTED TO HUMANS! Prevention is the best cure. Take good care of your fish, and avoid purchasing sick ones. Practice good hygiene while maintaining your aquarium. If a fish is sick, isolate it from the main tank and give proper treatments. Try Sulphafurazole, Doxycycline, or Minocycline. Research more to find out about proper doses and other treatment options. If fish is expensive (or you love it very much!) seek vet- erinary help. If fish is beyond saving, humanely euthanize it! NEVER flush a live fish down a toilet! SYMPTOMS IN HUMANS: Loss of appetite, weight, or energy. Fever, cough, night sweats. Rashes may occur on hands. Easily prevented by PRAC- TICING GOOD HYGEINE! If you have had a sick fish, whether you are sure it had TB or not, and you become ill, take TB into account! http://www.emedicinehealth.com/tuberculosis/page3_em.htm http://www.petfish.net/kb/entry/170/ http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/disease/ tbc.php http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index? qid=20070808031029AA7OBBt Trojan Times 2013 Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman The 2012 Olympic gymnastics team, also known as the Fierce Five, includ- ed Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, Jordyn Wieber, Mckayla Maroney, and Kyla Ross. Even though only Gabby and Aly made the individual competition, all of these gymnasts have a incredible ability. Gabrielle Douglas was born on December 31, 1995, in Virginia Beach, Vir- ginia. Gabby started Gymnastics at the age of 6 and had already won a state championship by the time she was 8. In 2010, she moved away from home to work with an Olympic trainer. She then attended the Olym- pic trials in 2012, and made the 2012 summer Olym- pics team. There, Doug- las became the first African American to win gold in the individual all-around event. She also won a team gold medal with the rest of her team. Aly Raisman was born in 1994 and started gymnastics at an early age. She quickly became a strong competi- tor, winning the gold in the vault event at the 2009 American Classic and in the all-around category at the 2011 Cover- Girl Classic. Raisman also helped the U.S. gymnastics team win the 2011 World Championships. The following year, she won two gold medals—one in the gymnastics team competition and the other in the individual floor exercise—and a bronze medal for the beam at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Raisman made the U.S. Olympic women's gym- nastics team in 2012. "Making the team is a dream come true," she told ESPN . "I am so honored and so excited to represent my country. It means the world to me." All these gymnasts have an incredible ability and are much loved in the United States. I hope you enjoy these interesting facts about these two phenome- nal gymnasts!

Next month, friendship quotes! :) RECIPES 2013 Banana Nutella Milkshake Reagan McCoy Spring is right around the corner which means warm weather is too. One of my favorite warm weather treats is a shake. So here are recipes for a Nutella ba- nana shake, and a chocolate chip cookie shake. You will need: • 1/4-1/2 cup Skim Milk • 2 cups Low Fat Vanilla Frozen Yogurt • 1/3 cup Nutella • 1/2 large banana, sliced • Whipped cream *optional for garnish chocolate sprinkles *optional for garnish (sprinkles don’t have to be chocolate) To make this shake you will need to: Add ingredients to blender jar and secure lid. Select "Ice Crush/Milkshake" and serve in chilled glasses. *Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles Chocolate Chip Cookie Shake Reagan McCoy You will need: • 2 cups vanilla ice cream • 3 chocolate chip cookies, broken up • 1/4 cup chocolate chips • 1 cup milk • Whipped cream, chocolate chips, and extra cookies for garnish, if desired Now to make your shake you will need to: 1. Now place the vanilla ice cream, cookies, chocolate chips, and milk in blend- er. Make sure the lid is on tight and blend until smooth. If the lid isn’t on tight, your shake will go all over the ceiling and walls. 2. Pour chocolate chip cookie milkshake in glasses. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate chips, and half chocolate chip cookie, if desired. Serve immediately. If you don’t serve immediately your shake will melt. Half Minute Horrors 2013 THE OLD MAN IN THE PICTURE Jakes mother promised that if he sat quietly in the waiting room while she saw her new doctor, he could have three bowls of ice cream afterward. Despite the promise, Jake was not happy. He didn’t like waiting and he did not like the room. He especially didn’t like that ugly portrait of an old man hanging on the wall across from where he sat. Jake didn’t like that the old man seemed to be staring right at him with a strange and awful look. Jake tried moving, but the eyes of the old man seemed to follow him around the room.

This can cause many different impacts and actions on individuals who are viewing a variety of social media content or posts. One can become inspired by those they follow by engaging in similar practices to either better themselves or begin to compare themselves to others which can lead to more negative side effects such as developing low self-esteem, anxiety, and even depressive thoughts. Little is known about how social media can impact people’s social support and views on their body images.
  • The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children's Picturebooks

    The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children's Picturebooks

    Strides Toward Equality: The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children’s Picturebooks Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebekah May Bruce, M.A. Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Michelle Ann Abate, Advisor Patricia Enciso Ruth Lowery Alia Dietsch Copyright by Rebekah May Bruce 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines nine narrative non-fiction picturebooks about Black American female athletes. Contextualized within the history of children’s literature and American sport as inequitable institutions, this project highlights texts that provide insights into the past and present dominant cultural perceptions of Black female athletes. I begin by discussing an eighteen-month ethnographic study conducted with racially minoritized middle school girls where participants analyzed picturebooks about Black female athletes. This chapter recognizes Black girls as readers and intellectuals, as well as highlights how this project serves as an example of a white scholar conducting crossover scholarship. Throughout the remaining chapters, I rely on cultural studies, critical race theory, visual theory, Black feminist theory, and Marxist theory to provide critical textual and visual analysis of the focal picturebooks. Applying these methodologies, I analyze the authors and illustrators’ representations of gender, race, and class. Chapter Two discusses the ways in which the portrayals of track star Wilma Rudolph in Wilma Unlimited and The Quickest Kid in Clarksville demonstrate shifting cultural understandings of Black female athletes. Chapter Three argues that Nothing but Trouble and Playing to Win draw on stereotypes of Black Americans as “deviant” in order to construe tennis player Althea Gibson as a “wild child.” Chapter Four discusses the role of family support in the representations of Alice Coachman in Queen of the Track and Touch the Sky.

    I QUESTIONS PRESENTED Whether the Enhanced Appellate Review

    i QUESTIONS PRESENTED Whether the enhanced appellate review reiterated in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan is required for First Amendment protection in a defamation case with a private plaintiff and non-media defendant. Whether it is negligent within the protections of the First and Fourteenth Amendments for a mother to privately share concerns to another mother about pornographic affiliations of a gymnastics facility that advertises false credentials and posts pictures of themselves online at the Playboy mansion. Whether the First and Fourteenth Amendments require the application of the “different effects” test, as adopted in Masson v.
