''Oficial Laws Against Women in Iran"

I think the most repressive law in Iran is "Iranian women are not free to choose or control various aspects of their lives." Article 300 of the Penal Code. Women are not allowed to do anything without their husbands permission. Most of the laws in Iran are against women. If this laws were instituted in the United States it will be a big change for all of us girls and women's. It will be really hard for us to adjust to a new change of life. First of all it will be really hard for me to know that I am being control by a man and ask for permission all times. I hope nothing like this will ever happen in the U.S I really don't know what my life and my families will be like.

Lampreys Fishes


Lampreys are jawless fishes.
1.What areas they live?Sea Lamprey are found throughout the Great Lakes and clear, cold streams in the region(between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie).

2.What do they eat? How they eat?lampreys eat small critter like worms and organisms.Lamprey use their disc-shaped mouth, full of teeth, to bit onto fish. They make holes in the sides of their victims and feed on blood and body fluids. They can stay attached for hours, days, or even weeks on one fish. Large fish will most likely survive a lamprey attack with just a circular scar left on the fish's side. Small fish may die immediately from the attack or will die from an infection from the lamprey attach.

3.How they breathe? Fish are generally scaled and respire by passing water over gills.

4.How they reproduce? Lampreys begin life as burrowing, freshwater larvae (ammocoetes). At this stage, they are toothless, have rudimentary eyes, and feed on microorganisms. After several years, they transform into adults and typically move into the sea to begin a parasitic life, attaching to a fish by their mouths and feeding on the blood and tissues of the host. To reproduce, lampreys return to freshwater, build a nest, then spawn (lay their eggs) and die.
