Triceratops (pronounced /traɪˈsɛrətɒps/ trye-SER-ə-tops) is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur which lived during the late Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous Period, around 68 to 65 million years ago (Mya) in what is now North America. It was one of the last dinosaur genera to appear before the great Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event.[1] Bearing a large bony frill and three horns on its large four-legged body, and conjuring similarities with the modern rhinoceros, Triceratops is one of the most recognizable of all dinosaurs. Although it shared the landscape with and was preyed upon by the fearsome Tyrannosaurus,[2] it is unclear whether the two did battle in the manner often depicted in museum displays and popular images.

A complete Triceratops skeleton has yet to be found,[3] though the creature is well-documented by numerous partial remains collected since the introduction of the genus in 1887. The function of their frills and three distinctive facial horns has long inspired debate. Although traditionally viewed as defensive weapons against predators, the latest theories claim that it is more probable that these features were used in courtship and dominance displays, much like the antlers and horns of modern reindeer, mountain goats, or rhinoceros beetles.[4]

Triceratops is the best-known of the ceratopsids, though the exact placement of the genus within the group has been a point of contention amongst paleontologists. Two species, T. horridus and T. prorsus, are considered valid, although many other species have been named. Recent research suggests that another long-recognized ceratopsid, Torosaurus, may actually represent a mature form of Triceratops.[5]

Paul Younger

Paul "Tank" Younger was born on this date in 1928. He was an African-American football player and administrator.



He was a graduate of Grambling State University playing running back/linebacker 1945-48. Paul Younger started at Grambling at tackle, but it didn't take then young coach Eddie Robinson long to see that Younger's size and quickness was better suited in the backfield. There he earned the nickname "Tank" by running over everything that got in front of him. A record-setting career in the backfield and at linebacker earned him a spot on the 1948 Pittsburgh Courier All-America team. "Tank" was the Tigers' leader on offense and defense.



As a freshman, he led the nation in scoring with 25 touchdowns, scoring many times on an end-around play. In his junior year, he rushed for 1,207 yards and scored 18 touchdowns. Younger also completed 43 of 73 pass attempts, 11 for touchdowns. His career totals show 60 touchdowns, which, at the time, was a collegiate record. After his senior season, he was named Black College Football's Player of the Year. After college, he wasn't drafted to play professionally and was labeled a 500:1 shot to make it in the pros. He became a free agent, signed with the Rams, and opened the door to a new talent source, becoming the first player in the NFL from a "Black college."



He had a very successful NFL career with the Los Angeles Rams and the Pittsburgh Steelers, earning Pro Bowl status five times. He became the first Black player to play in an NFL All-Star Game, and after his playing days, went on to become the league's first Black assistant general manager in 1975. He lived in Los Angeles, California until his death on September 15, 2001 at the age of 73.

Book Report



Introduction

This story is about a rivalry that started within the Caspian family where the current king who now rules over Narnia is very upset at the fact that he is not considered to be the real king of Narnia; he knows that Prince Caspian is the rightful heir to the throne and Prince Caspian is in danger of losing his life to this fake king.

Plot

Also King Miraz hates the fact that Prince Caspian has the Narnian people on his side and he wants him dead because Miraz now has a son of his own. King Miraz intends to have his son take Prince Caspian’s place as the new heir to the kingdom of Narnia.

Meanwhile the four Pevensie siblings Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are at boarding school in England. They are magically pulled back into Narnia on a nearby beach where they discover a castle they once lived in and found their weapons they kept stored in a treasure chest and for their protection they put them on.

Thereafter Susan noticed that her battle horn they used to summon for help was missing from the chest and they started their journey without it inland to Narnia. On their way to town they rescued Trumpkin, a Narnian dwarf, who was being attacked by some of the king’s men who wanted to drown him by the castle where the children were.

Trumpkin is a friend of the Pevensie family and he wanted to repay them for their help by telling them about the Telmarine, a new enemy that has took over Narnia by force and they work for King Miraz and Queen Pruniaprismia.

Conflict

King Miraz only received the throne by killing his own brother King Caspian the ninth and the only reason he even put up with Prince Caspian for so long is because he was waiting for his own child to be born. Now the conflict begins because King Miraz is attempting to kill his nephew and until that point Prince Caspian never knew what his uncle was really up to.

Now fully aware Prince Caspian gets help to escape the king and hide until help arrives he must remain hidden in order to stay alive.

King Miraz has gathered his army and ordered them to find and kill Prince Caspian.

Resolution

Prince Caspian was helped by Doctor Cornelius, his tutor who helped him escape; he also taught him about the ways of Old Narnia.

Cornelius gave the prince, Susan’s horn as he left to hide in the woods only to be knocked out by his scared horse that runs away from him.

When Peter and the others found out about Prince Caspian they search to find him to join forces with him to defeat King Miraz and his Telmarine army.

More importantly, as Trumpkin and the children search for the prince; Lucy stumbles onto a path that leads to Aslan in her dream. What Aslan told her was to lead the others to him because he can give more information on how to stop the possible war that is going to happen.

At first the others were not ready to believe Lucy but they did listen to her in the end and followed the path given to her in the dream. As they moved closer to Aslan they noticed clues that helped them know that they were on the right path like seeing Aslan’s shadow was one of the clues and then as they moved closer to the end of the path they saw Aslan himself.

Aslan commands the others on what to do by splitting them up to do different task so they can defeat King Miraz and his army. Aslan follows Susan and Lucy because Lucy is too young for the battle that is about to happen. He sends Peter, Trumpkin, and Edmund to the castle to find King Miraz to kill him to restore peace to Narnia but it will be a tough task because King Miraz will not go without a fight.

On the way to the castle Peter and the others run into Prince Caspian by accident and they start to fight each other. Caspian realizes that Peter is the high king during the fight and the fight ends with them joining forces together.

2nd Conflict

Now they are off to the castle where King Miraz is sleeping; the king is not aware of their plans and he is not ready for them. When they get to Narnia Susan is already there to help fight off the Telemarines from interfering with their plan to kill the king.

The team kills the guards who protect the king’s castle and Prince Caspian tries to kill the king himself but was not successful because he was scared. The king is now aware that the prince and his friends are there to kill him so the king gets his army ready for battle but so is the high king Peter and the Narnians.

Eventually, Peter challenges King Miraz to a single one-on-one fight for total control of Narnia. The cocky King Miraz accepts the challenge thinking he can win easily against the high king Peter. The battle ends by King Miraz being killed by his own man who only wanted to fight the Narnians but he was then killed by Peter.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Aslan pushed two trees together so the Pevensie’s can return to their world and go back to boarding school. Prince Caspian is now high king of Narnia and peace is restored in the kingdom once more. The evilness that went on there is gone for now and the Pevensie family returned to their home in England.

This story was great because it deals with life and adventure; what readers can learn from this story is the battles and challenges we go through as a way of life. I think we can learn a lot from their story.

The Horse and His Boy

This story is about an orphan boy and a horse that was taken away from they’re homes. Both of them are trying to get back to where they are from; but along the way they come across many difficulties trying to get back to their homeland.

To begin, Shasta is the main character in this story that runs away from his master in search of his real homeland. Narnia is the place where they both originally come from Bree, is the name of the horse that travels with Shasta and is soon to become his friend.

Moreover, Bree is a Great War horse that was kidnapped from his homeland to work as a slave-horse in Calormen, a country across Archenland south of Narnia.

Although, they are from the same place they don’t always get along and on their way to Narnia a princess decides to travel with them on their way back to Narnia.

Furthermore Susan, princess of the Gentle is next in line to become queen but she doesn’t want to marry someone she doesn’t love so she is running away to Narnia to escape to freedom and protection from Rabadash, a Tarkeen prince who wants her hand in marriage.

Rabadash is not happy about Susan the Gentle leaving the South to Narnia so he decides to go after her.

The Tarkeen people are the evil enemies of the Narnians and they will not stop until they destroy the Narnian people. Tisroc is their leader who rules the South and is the father of Rabadash. Tisroc encourages Rabadash to go get Susan and takeover the Narnian land.

Then Rabadash travels to Archenland to take back the princess but he was not thinking about who he would have to face in battle to get Susan. Edmund who is the leader of the war fought off Rabadash and defeated his army of Tarkeenians.

Finally, after the battle was over, Shasta went to King Lune to tell the king about Rabadash’s plan to takeover Narnia. The King turns the enemy prince into a slave himself and once again Narnia is safe from evil.

The Chronicles of Narnia
(BOOK REPORT)
By: Marcus Bradley
Introduction of Characters
The main characters are:
· Aslan
· Lucy
· Edmund
· Susan
· Peter
· The White Witch, Jadis

First this story begins in the Magician’s Nephew, in the story there was a boy named Digory who cut down the golden tree and created a wardrobe out of it. This wardrobe was a magical portal that led Lucy, the youngest of the family, to this new world. She tries to tell everyone that there is a new world called Narnia after accidentally discovering it while playing hide and seek with her friends (Susan, Peter, and Edmond).

When you enter this new world, the wardrobe allows some people to enter Narnia but not everybody. Lucy was so excited to tell her friends the news but when they were not able to enter Narnia they did not believe her and they thought she was making it all up.
Lucy cried and ran out the room because everyone was disappointed in her for lying about Narnia but she was not.

Next, Lucy went to the wardrobe the next day to check if Narnia was still there. Edmund went in after her to tease her some more about this secret world only to find out that Narnia is real.
The spiteful Edmund trying to find Lucy bumped into the white witch instead; the white witch is an evil queen of another underground city called Charn in the story, the queen is the last member of that destroyed city because she destroyed it in the Magician’s nephew. (Lucy first noticed the white witch when she came to Narnia she was talking to the faun.)

Mr. Tummuns, is a talking faun, who works for the evil white witch, Mr. Tummum’s job is to take any human to see the white witch so she can hurt them. But Mr. Tummuns is too nice to take her he speaks to her after they bump into each other is asking Lucy if she was the daughter of Eve. They become friends and moved from that to talking about the white witch and how she can remove body parts from one another)

After that Edmund was given Turkish delight by the white witch and her evil dwarf to join her side. This favorite drink with the wicked white witch; means that Edmund is now joining the witch’s side.
Then the white witch makes a deal with Edmund he must bring his three friends to Narnia so that he will become prince or better yet King. Now Edmund gets down from the witch’s sledge to find his friends and Edmund could not find them right away but he finally finds Lucy. They go back home and talk a little but half of the talk was about Narnia .Lucy tried to have proof that the Narnia is real.

Edmund said that they were just playing pretend. Lucy again running out of the room crying Edmund does not really care about it even thought he know it was true. Susan and peter are mad at Edmund he like to be spiteful a lot to people even at school. Now everyone meets back together to take the tour around the house (but you could not touch anything).

Ms. Macready heard noise so Lucy and the others had to hide to keep from being caught by Ms. Macready they hid in the wardrobe and enter the new world (Narnia) they followed Lucy. She leads them to Mr. Tummuns but he was arrested by the white witch for talking to human (Lucy was the human talking to Mr. Tummums.) Edmund told the witch she was talking to a fawn.

The main thing I liked about the book was almost everything some are already on top. And from when the characters first step and the wardrobe was the best part of everything.
The main part I hated was when Aslan died but what made me happy was when Aslan came to life so that was the part sad part about the book.

NOTE: This book is related to Bible because when Jesus was betrayed Judas Jesus was killed and came back to life just like Aslan did in this story.
