A baby orca was recently spotted near the San Juan Islands. The orca was born in the J-Pod. Michael Harris is the executive of the Pacific Whale Watch Association. He has stated that the new addition is great news. The newest orca has been named J53. It is the fourth orca to be born into the J-Pod this year.

Experts were surprised to see J-53 because it is the fourth orca to be born to J17. J17 is 38 years-old. She is also a grandmother to two orcas, J46 and J47.

Maya's Legacy took photos of the baby orca. Maya's Legacy is one of the whale watch associations in Washington and British Columbia. The photos showed that J53 had folded skin. The folded skin indicates that the baby orca had been born a few days ago.

In 2013, Gabriela Cowperthwaite released her documentary, Blackfish, to establish her argument as to why orcas should not be kept in captivity. Orcas have been kept in captivity at SeaWorld since the mid-60s and have shown aggressive behavior towards trainers. Throughout her documentary, Cowperthwaite creates ethos and pathos appeals through the use of interviews with former SeaWorld trainers as well as showing the change in behavior of Tilikum, an orca that has been kept in captivity since he was two. With the information provided by the interviews and the examples of Tilikum’s behavior, Cowperthwaite emphasizes why orcas should be released from captivity.

Three years after Earhart and Noonan went missing in 1937, Nikumaroro was being colonized by the British when thirteen bones were discovered, on the until then uninhabited island, and were promptly sent to Figi to be examined by physician, David Hoodless. In 1940, Hoodless recorded that the bones belonged to a “stocky male”, most likely of European descent (Salmon). This conclusion did not match the description of Earhart, nor her navigator Noonan, and the case was disregarded until forensic anthropologist, Richard Jantz, reanalyzed Hoodless’s conclusion by placing the data he took through a computer program called Fordisc, which is used by anthropologists in the U.S. and around the world to estimate sex, anscestry, and stature from skeletal measurements (Neuman). This resource is far more advanced and useful than the resources that were available around the time of Earhart’s disappearance, and Jantz’s reexamination of the evidence found that David Hoodless had incorrectly determined the sex of the remains, meaning that if the bones did not belong to Amelia Earhart they had to have been from someone very similar. Jantz’s discovery took place 80 years after the ill-fated pilot vanished, which proves that the mystery of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance is still a subject being explored and investigated.

Centuries before humanity was able to tell stories through motion picture or photography, artists wished to tell a story visually. This is especially true within the Pre-Renaissance Era of the Middle Ages. Artists would take inspiration from written manuscripts and create art based on their story or message to the audience. For example, illuminated manuscripts, in particular, were literal manuscripts that artists embellished with beautiful decorum or illustrations to heighten the delivery of the storyline. This practice of storytelling carried on into the Early Renaissance and was revolutionized by Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337).
