Hold on to what is good
even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe
even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do
even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life
even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand
even when I have gone away from you.
Nancy Wood, Many Winters, 1994 Taos Pueblo
Ctenophores are the “comb jellies,” well known for their beautiful bioluminescence. They appear jellyfish-like in appearance, but lack cnidocytes, the stinging cells characteristic to Cnidarians. Instead, Ctenophores have collblasts, which are adhesive cells for capturing small prey. These colorful little guys swim by manipulating currents with their eight rows of specialized ciliated cells called ctenes (comb rows). Hence the nickname comb jellies.

In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was the first woman to run the Boston marathon. After realizing that a woman was running, race organizer Jock Semple went after Switzer shouting, “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers.” However, Switzer’s boyfriend and other male runners provided a protective shield during the entire marathon.The photographs taken of the incident made world headlines, and Kathrine later won the NYC marathon with a time of 3:07:29.
